screenwriters should be sequestered like a jury until their entire show is committed to paper bc I think so often they are swayed by ppl's twitter opinions and lose whatever thread of creative vision & integrity they had. and before u know it netflix are forking out 450 million american dollars to create . the most catastrophically unwatchable dogshit
i donât hate series finales because itâs the ending of a show.. i hate them because somehow writers find a way to fuck up the whole show in just one episode
I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.
Duuude don't question my version of events I'm such a reliable narrator. I'm literally the protagonist and the main character. You can literally read some of my internal thoughts, that clearly means you have complete access to an objective view of my thoughts and feelings and a correct impression of my characterization and the events unfolding around me. I'm not omitting any information from the audience. Nevermind that timeskip just now
Haha wow are you seriously being fooled by the false narrative that I set up for you to deconstruct? Haha wow okay dude. Lmao and now you're going on social media and showing everybody how you didn't understand that the text was expecting you to look past the lies I'm telling myself? And now you're justifying all of my actions? Lmaoooo
hating a popular character is actually much more soul crushing than liking an unpopular character, as someone who does both constantly. liking an unpopular character gives you the chance to be the Number One Character Fan and everybody knows you as the Character Guy and even if the fan content is scarce, you are adding positivity to the fandom. absolutely hating a fan favourite character will have you twisting yourself in knots going yes yes i acknowledge their complexity yes yes i will never ever post hate in the main tags yes yes you're allowed to like them. when what you really wanna do is post about how much character sucks. but you Cant.
âCandice [King], Kat [Graham], and I were the three lowest-paid series regulars in the first two seasons,â Dobrev, who was also portraying Katherine Pierce in addition to Elena Gilbert, says. âIt was a bit of a tricky situation because my contract only said to play Elena, but I was playing multiple characters, which doubled my workload. I had to be on set for double the amount of time, I had to memorize double the amount of lines. I wanted to play Katherine, but I wanted to be compensated fairly for that, and I wanted to be an equal to the boys.â
... âThey just said out of principle they wouldnât bump me up to being equal to the boys, and so that was probably the most hurtful because it felt like I was really working hard and we shot eighteen-hour days sometimes, and nights, and I was putting my absolute heart and soul, blood, sweat, and tears into it,â Dobrev recalls. âI remember feeling like the studio didnât appreciate what I was bringing to the show, and it felt like they were saying that all the hard work I was putting into it didnât matter to them and that I wasnât an equal to my male counterparts, and so that was upsetting to me.â
Nina Dobrev opens up about fighting for equal pay as Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley on "The Vampire Diaries."
This... is fucking insane.
I always wondered the real reason why she left the show, and this is just fucking sickening.
I distinctly recall Nina being blamed for the removal of Katherine. Now we find out she didn't ask to stop playing Katherine; she simply *gasp* dared to ask for more money for playing fifty-leven characters on the show. đ
This was her show. This was literally her fucking show. I remember Ellen Pompeo initially going through something slightly similar on Grey's Anatomy, until she kindly reminded The Powers That Be that she was Meredith fucking Grey.
