‘Helluva Boss' Team Breaches Tumblr Containment With ‘Homestuck' Animated Series
The most online of people likely remember Homestuck, Andrew Hussie's internet fiction series. After Hussie ended the webcomic in 2016, loyal fans have kept it alive with various side projects and Hussie's occasional guidance. Now, it's getting its biggest side project yet in the form of an animated series. Or rather, the pilot for one. This comes courtesy of Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano and her animation company Spindlehorse, and with some well-known voice talent attached. Video game and anime voice actors Cherami Leigh (Cyberpunk 2077), Adam McArthur (Jujutsu Kaisen), and Brandon Winkler are onboard, ditto Tails' longtime actor Colleen O'Shaughnessey, voice director Richard Horvitz (who already does voice work for Spindlehorse's Helluva Boss), and Undertale creator Toby Fox. Before he made Undertale and Deltarune, Fox made his name doing music for Homestuck's animated sections back in the day. Check them and the pilot out below. For those not in the know, Hussie launched Homestuck in 2009 as one of several series he made developed in MS Paint. Plot-wise, it focuses on John Egbert (Fox), a kid who gets a beta copy of a computer game called Sburb for his 13th birthday present. When he learns it lets him manipulate reality, John enlists his friends Rose (Leigh), Dave (McArthur), and Jade (O'Shaughnessey) to join him, which ends up putting their universe in danger and forces them to beat the game in order to create a new one. It gained a huge following online back in the day, resulting in hardcover collections, an epilogue series, and the episodic adventure game Hiveswap. Expect the Homestuck pilot to hit YouTube in September. At time of writing, it's unclear if it could become its own series; Medrano entered a first look deal with Prime Video this past spring, so it's not impossible. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

The Apollo 13 Storytelling Blueprint Business Leaders Should Use To Motivate Teams
The opening scene of Apollo 13, the film based on astronaut James Lovell's harrowing space ordeal, doesn't start with his transmission to mission control: 'Houston, we've had a problem.' Instead, we see Tom Hanks (playing Lovell) at a house party along with his family and other astronauts who are gathered around a television to watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Lovell had circled the moon in Apollo 8, and the Apollo 13 mission was going to be his turn to land on it. But everything changed after an oxygen tank exploded on the space capsule, turning the mission into an epic story of survival and rescue. The story—and quote—has been repeated in articles and social media tributes celebrating Lovell and his legacy. He died at the age of 97. But if you watch the movie, you'll have to wait nearly an hour before Hanks says the now-famous line (shortened in the film to Houston, we have a problem). The reason director Ron Howard chose to place the scene where he did is a technique of great storytelling, a skill business leaders should learn if they hope to inspire their audiences. A Hero's Journey Lovell's experience aboard Apollo 13 and the rest of his life on Earth follow a classic storytelling arc that's proven to be irresistible. The Hero's Journey, a storytelling structure that mythologist Joseph Campbell identified as a classic framework, follows a hero who leaves the safety of home to pursue a grand adventure where they face trials, challenges, and near-death experiences. They return from the experience transformed and use their newfound wisdom to make their community a better place. Think of the hero's journey as stages that take place within three acts, a template that nearly all successful Hollywood movies follow: Act I. The set-up. The hero's ordinary world (Tom Hanks at the watch party). Act II. The problem. The explosion and all the problems that it triggered, any one of which could have ended the lives of the three-man crew. Act III. The resolution and return. Lovell and his crew didn't just survive. He reframed the mission as a 'successful failure' and helped to transform NASA's crisis management processes. Act one is essential in the telling of a story because it makes the characters relatable. Once the audience cares about the people in the story, they're more invested in the challenges the characters face in the second act, and the resolution becomes even more satisfying. The Hero's Journey framework stands the test of time because we recognize the pattern in our real lives. That's why filmmakers follow it, and so can you. The Leader Storyteller For example, let's say you're a business leader who needs to motivate your team to complete a project under a tight deadline. Instead of telling them what to do and leaving them to get it done, you can share a story from your own experience. Act 1. You might start by painting a picture of a similar position you were once in, facing an immovable deadline that you thought would be impossible to meet. Explain how the task was formidable at first because it required moving from your ordinary world to an unfamiliar one, such as having more responsibility, etc. Act 2. Reveal the problems that came up as you tried to meet the deadline. It may have started well, but unexpected hurdles threatened to derail the project entirely. Raise the stakes if you can. Were you genuinely worried about your future at the company or your career progression? Show some vulnerability to be relatable. Act 3. Explain the resolution and how you met the deadline. Most importantly, tell the team what you learned from the experience and how it made you a better leader. Apply the lessons you learned to the project your team now faces. Yes, creative professionals make storytelling look easy. It's not. It's an art that takes time to hone. Storytelling is a skill and, like any skill, you can sharpen it. The key is to see yourself as something beyond your title, a true storyteller. While your title might read director or manager, your ability to inspire and motivate comes from your ability to spark action through your words. In a touching tribute to Lovell, Hanks, writing on Instagram, beautifully defined a true leader. Hanks wrote, 'There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own. Jim Lovell…was that kind of guy.'
