I say this wholeheartedly and without ironic intent. I hope supernatural continues to have drama for the next 10 years at least. I hope that in 2033 i can once again text my best friend saying "something is happening in supernatural" for the 5 millionth time.
idk if you know this, but kiera knightley is involved in a new hp project and was super condescending when someone asked her about controversies surrounding jk rowling. it icked me out a little bit from her projects, and i dont think its like inherently bad to fw her projects, but when i learned this it did make me stop enjoying a lot of her stuff.
hereās a link so you dont have to search for it:

yeah unfortunately nearly every british actor that exists has signed up for the audio book slop project. there's maybe 3 actors left who still have integrity. also my coworkers keep talking to me about how hyped they are for it and i have to pretend i'm not bothered by it š©
"James Bond when he was a whipper snapper" is always a dumb idea because James Bond's DNA is intrinsically linked to the period of time when all media ever was directed at older White men and so his core character is such that he's simply not who he is until the point in his life when he gets those years behind him. This snarky YA protagonist is not nor will he ever be James Bond just because he throws out a joke after every takedown or has sex while his bosses are still watching. You can't just copy and paste moments that vaguely echo the films onto whatever random bullshit you're doing and call it 007.
that said 90% of your Bond-ness score with me is going to be your opening musical number and so on that basis I give First Light a B
And in the end, The Boys (TV show, not comic), for all it marketed itself as a deconstruction of superheroes, was ultimately a deconstruction of supervillains. Shitty people with power and entitlement might seek to cast themselves as grandiose and entertaining figures of escapist transgression, but in reality are simple abusers, perhaps pathetic enough to inspire minor sympathy but not enough to counteract the need to stop them from continuing to use their power and entitlement to hurt others.
(And oh boy are all the people who wanted to see full grandiose entertaining figure of escapist transgression Homelander go full supervillain mad that they got their expectations subverted.)
big day for the unemployed
Technically Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff had an existence prior to Homestuck on the Penny Arcade forums; Hussie wrote them into Homestuck as Daveās webcomic after the fact. So this might just be a SBaHJ reference.
queer muppet moments i would make happen if i was in charge of the muppets:
the electric mayhem (minus animal bcs hes their kid) arent a polycule, theyre monogamous. but specifically they break up and date each other one at a time. they have a chart.
animal is genderfluid. this is mentioned exactly once bcs kermit calls her he and she starts yelling "SHE/HER!" kermit corrects himself and the show goes on
rizzo made out with gonzo once but he still considers himself straight bcs gonzo is not a guy, he's a whatever. gonzo agrees with this
uncle deadly dated tim curry. it did not end well.
actual emotional scene of gonzo talking about how he feels abt gender. no jokes.
kermit: no matter what, gonzo is still gonzo, and we're always going to support gonzo no matter what gonzo decides- gonzo: kermit. i still use he/him
statler and waldorf wedding episode. theyre divorced by the next
beaker trying to ask bunsen out on a date. in the end it turns out bunsen thought they'd been dating for years.
miss piggy hanging out with drag queens
related, miss piggy starting to present butch and kermit being Really Into It. hes embarassed abt it
pepe begins a story with "when i was a little girl...."
janice decides to start using just she bcs "like, i could never be her"
rowlf mentions having a husband. even kermit is like "??? since when??!"
actually i change my mind. genderfluid animal is mentioned a second time when dr teeth is calling for instrument and mic checks, he turns to animal and yells "animal! pronoun check!" "HE/HIM" "alright!"

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF PROJECT HAIL MARY
I really love the wilderness years of Doctor Who. I think from now on when shows get canceled more companies should throw their content to the wolves and watch in horror as the starved fan base go insane and write like a thousand books in five years that irreversibly ruin any semblance of canon, and also make zero sense.
As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".
So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:
Excuse me???
you are right and you should say it.
Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?
Absolutely not
You know who would try that shit?
Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?
You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?
The last thing Penelope's suitors ever see:
HAROLD PERRINEAU as Mercutio | ROMEO + JULIET
hello! so awhile back i saw all your very helpful posts about tagging (e.g. x, x, x) and how the system works in regards to wrangling; since then i've been much more relaxed about how i tag, confident that (sooner or later) any tags i've taken 'creative liberties' with will ultimately be wrangled appropriately (i.e. searchable).
but! today i noticed that a fic i posted last year wasn't showing up under the "identity porn" tag for that ship, despite having tagged it "identity porn (emphasis on the 'porn')". i thought that it was okay to include that parenthetical at the end of the canonized "identity porn" tag, since it would ultimately get wrangled appropriately, and become searchable for those seeking "identity porn" -- but alas! apparently that never happened...
so i started checking similar tags i'd gotten playful with, including one on that same fic (posted september of last year, so ostensibly enough time has passed for it to have been wrangled by now?), where i'd added "[would-be]" as a bracketed qualifier before the canonical "consensual non-consent" tag. yet once again, when i perform a search for that tag under that ship, my fic isn't listed :(
it seems that wrangling doesn't work quite like i was led to believe, based on those posts. has something changed lately? or is there some other explanation as to why this is happening? i'm currently going through all my 'creative' tags and checking to see if they show up where i'd expect them to, and the results are discouraging. i guess i might have to re-tag a bunch of stuff, if i want my fics to be searchable under certain canonized tags (?) -- thanks for any input you can provide š
I suspect the issue might be that your tongue-in-cheek parentheticals are actually adding a second meaning to the tag or otherwise changing it to mean something other than the canonical meaning.
For example, identity porn is about secret identities and how complicated that can be for the people who have them (and the people who know them).
By adding (emphasis on the porn) to that tag you added a second meaning, one related to sex. If you separate them into identity porn and (emphasis on the porn) the the first tag will direct to that canonical and the second will either go unwrangled or will redirect to Sexual Content or another sex-related tag.
In order for a tag to be wrangled (attached to a canonical so that it can be sorted and filtered for), it needs to be a clear match for that canonical. if you're finding things that aren't wrangled, I'd recommend separating your single tag into two (or more, as needed) so that you can have the fun you want without removing the sort and filter ability.
Wranglers? Have I got that right? Please correct me if not!
well the thing is that's an extremely reasonable concern
he must be one of the 12 people who saw TENET
Bro was in TENET so that's probably the reason tbh
The Gallaghers Are Not Well-Known in the US: Initial Data
I have some data to share! so the gcest oasis study I'm running hasn't got to the fun part yet, but I just finished analyzing the results of the pre-test, in which I showed participants a series of random photos of celebrities ā including noel and liam ā and asked people to identify them (so I can exclude people who already know them from the main study). if you've ever wondered how recognizable the gallaghers are in the US, I have your answer!
I collected data from a census-matched sample of 980 americans (i.e., demographics like gender, race, and age are in the same quantities as the general US population). this amount of people has enough statistical power to make generalizations about. here are my findings:
among the participants, 67% did NOT recognize liam at all, and 71% did NOT recognize noel at all.
only 19% of participants for each of them claimed they were confident they knew who they were (regardless of whether they could actually name them). however...
of the people who said they could even name them, only 56% correctly identified liam as "liam gallagher". that means only 6% of the full sample fully recognized and could identify liam. an additional 2% thought he was noel, and 3% simply recognized him as "a gallagher" or "from oasis". two individuals thought he was john lennon, one thought he was ringo, and one thought he was miley cyrus' fiance
of the people who said they could name noel, only 46% correctly identified noel as "noel gallagher". that means only 5% of the full sample fully recognized and could identify noel. an additional 3% thought he was liam, and another 3% simply recognized him as "a gallagher" or "from oasis". two individuals thought he was peter dinklage
so, to reiterate, it is likely from these results that only about 5-6% of the US population recognizes noel and liam by name
Lex Luthor is Black?? (Completely genuine)
Back when I was asking people for "bad white character design"- meaning bad in the way Black character design is often done poorly, so, unrecognizable as white- there were plenty of submissions that missed the point. But one of them that I could not disagree with was Lex Luthor. That was a bald Black man š¤£ like they didn't intend for that, for that is what he ended up looking like. So no, Lex isn't Black, but the way he was drawn in that particular iteration could very well lead people to say he was.
Alec Guinness's acting really does sell the idea he's lying to Luke, which is amazing since that was absolutely not part of the plan at the time. By simply putting in the thought to portray Obi-Wan as a veteran and one of the last survivors of a long gone golden age recalling emotionally intense memories, he set up a wealth of possibilities.
i was looking everywhere in the car for my vape because i lost it and I found these instead
Iām astounded at the level of personality that can be predicted from the word vape and these glasses.
this is the meanest thing anyoneās ever said to me in my entire life but I canāt even argue with this. what could I possibly say to defend myself in this instance. this was a one hit KO. this was a murder. this was a fucking slaughter and I have only myself to blame
You act like people knowing youāre in the Squirtle Squad is a bad thing?
yes that is exactly where these glasses are from. a perfectly respectable long standing anime and nothing more
recent alecto news might bring some new people who are interested in finally getting into the locked tomb series - so if youāre a little lost on where to start, hereās what i recommend as the reading order!
1. gideon the ninth
2. two week break. must wait the full two weeks to allow for proper marination. DO NOT wait longer than two weeks
3. first two chapters of harrow the ninth
4. quick skim of gideon the ninth to provide reassurance that you didnāt accidentally forget the whole plot
5. the rest of harrow the ninth
6. as yet unsent
7. two week break
8. gideon the ninth
9. the extras at the end of the gideon the ninth paperback, which you technically skimmed the first time but deemed unimportant and extraneous
10. as yet unsent
11. harrow the ninth
12. the mysterious study of doctor sex, which you just learned exists
13. two week break
14. nona the ninth
15. the unwanted guest
16. the chapter of nona the ninth relevant to the unwanted guest
17. rinse and repeat until alecto the ninth drops
happy reading!
