Y’all I read a lot of scripts. And the one note I give over and over and over and over to the point that I can pretty much copy and paste it from one review to another…. let your characters lie. Let them omit, stumble, and circumvent. Allow them to be completely unable to express what they’re feeling. Make them unable to admit a truth. Let them sit in silence because they can’t think of anything clever to say! Let them say the exact wrong thing!

Dee Rees talks about it in her BAFTA lecture (which you should ABSOLUTELY WATCH): that what your character actually says should be three degrees of separation away from what they mean to say.

I read script after script after script where characters articulate their needs, desires, and objectives with perfect accuracy off the cuff 24/7 and there is not one single human person on this planet who is actually able to do that. This is the #1 thing that’s going to make your script sound stilted and the #1 thing that’s going to make shit difficult on your actors. Let them shut up, and let them lie.

Hey hey, have you heard? Season 2 of Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeasts is out on Netflix now!! 🔥 To commemorate, I drew the gang trying too hard to snap a photo…

My contribution to the show was as part of the story team - we were responsible for the storyboards for episodes “The Ballad of Brunchington Beach”, “Fun Gus Part II” and “All That Glitters”! They were all fun shows with BIG moments 💛

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing the show to life - and to those who have been watching, I hope you’ll stick around to see where Kipo and co. go from here on out! Once I figure out what the proper channels are, I’d love to share some boards as well! 😄

Commission Animal Crossing Villager Plushies made by Nataliia

[mostlyginger]

can we just talk about the time that Lupin was recovering from a full moon and Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves for Lupin to read when he got back I hate Snape so much it’s not funny

[mostlyginger]

Lupin gets back and he feels like crap and suddenly his best friend’s son is writing an essay about how to kill him like that is so fucked up

[take-my-eeveelution]

Bear in mind that an ex-Death Eater does this to someone who was in the Order, risked his life fighting against said Death Eaters and lost his best friends to the Death Eater’s genocidal leader, for the sole purpose of screwing him over, and as far as we know he experiences no consequences whatsoever for doing so.

[kn-rainbowblood]

And if that wasn’t enough, he made them write those essays hoping some of them would realize Lupin’s a werewolf. And one did, but Hermione is a fucking DECENT HUMAN BEING and said nothing. Apparently the ‘insufferable know-it-all' can keep her mouth closed, when it’s for something important. Just like Snape didn’t do at the end of the book.

I’m getting mad, so here’s something I’ve realized while reading The Order of the Phoenix again. (Please keep in mind that my books are in Italian and some concepts might be hard to explain, I apologize for my English mistakes)

In chapter 14, when The Trio talked with Sirius, he said that two years before Dolores Umbridge had written a law against werewolves that made it almost impossible for Lupin to find a job.

Now ask yourself this question. Why two years?

What had happened two years before? During Harry’s third year? Oh, right. The Magical World had discovered that one of Hogwarts’ teachers (someone who was in constant conctat with their children) was a werewolf. Does that ring any bell?

But that’s not all! If we take a look at chapter 15, in the Daily Prophet article we can see a familiar name: Remus Lupin. In a newspaper. Where everyone can read it. “The werewolf Remus Lupin”. No wonder he couldn’t find a job! And it’s not the first time the Daily Prophet has written about him, as it’s stated in the article itself. There must have been a huge scandal when it had all come out.

So basically, when Snape decided he couldn’t bear not having what he wanted (for example, SIRIUS BLACK GETTING KISSED BY A DEMENTOR) and spilled the secret, he didn’t only tell the whole school. He didn’t only tell the kids’ parents. The told the whole Magical World.

He told the whole Magical World that a man who had kept his condition secret all his life was a werewolf.

And the Magical World responded with a law against werewolves.

So, basically, Snape didn’t only ruin Remus Lupin’s life. He ruined the life of every single werewolf in the UK.

But, you know. Bravest man I ever knew.

[believingintheotherkate]

I will never not reblog how horrible Snape was. A great character? Why of course. But a great man? Absolutely disgusting.

Severus Snape is a garbage human being, and I will die on that hill.

that post about gym leaders tweeting that rock and ground are the same type is funny but do you think this has ever been like a point of contention for biologists in the pokemon world. like the way the fairy type wasn’t discovered until recent years and was misclassified as normal type for most of history. do you think professors in the pokemon universe argue over whether certain pokemon have been mistyped or if certain types may actually not exist at all

[stantler]

professor sycamore when his hypothesis on the 18th type was confirmed after his findings were repeatedly rejected and laughed at by the heads of the kalos institute of pokebiology for over a decade

[comradekatara]

there are only so many world leaders, right? and they’re all beholden to sokka in some major way…

the avatar: will be 35 years old and still have a pavlovian response to sokka saying “all right everyone, time for bed!” 

the firelord: so ride or die it’s honestly concerning

the earth king: owes to sokka his newfound knowledge of basic critical thinking skills

chief of the northern water tribe: his daughter seemed to think he was pretty dope before she turned into the moon

chief of the southern water tribe: thinks her brother is an idiot but has good ideas sometimes, and appreciates the fact that he doesn’t care whether or not he gets credit for them as long as they’re implemented 

not to mention that toph is basically a one-woman weapon of mass destruction who does not listen to anyone—with the crucial exception of one person—and guess who that is!

and he’s basically an honorary member of the white lotus???

basically what I’m saying is sokka secretly rules the world

[ruffboi-mags]

I think what you’re saying is that sokka secretly rules the world and has no fucking idea.

[comradekatara]

yep. sokka is legitimately way too humble to realize the immense power he wields. if anything, he considers himself a glorified accountant/secretary for his friends.

out of the people who do know, I would say it’s split into roughly three categories:

people who are duly aware of just how much influence sokka has in the decisions and advances made in postwar geopolitics: zuko, toph, iroh, suki, azula, ty lee, mai, piandao, arnook, pakku (but he hates it)

people who think sokka is their cool smart friend who helps them out when they cannot solve a certain problem: aang, kuei

people who think sokka just fucks around all day reading and tinkering with his little machines: katara, sokka

Why Do I Want to Be Able to Play a Fat Character in Video Games?

And I don't just mean Michelin Man and Extra-Time Hourglass Woman, I mean actually fat characters and the different shapes they come in, with rolls and "unflattering" body shapes and all that.

Because I want characters who look like all the variety we see in real-world Olympic athletes instead of supermodels.

Because I want to see a character who looks like me, really like me and not the idealized version (read: skinny) be strong enough to save the world on days I don't feel strong enough to face the public.

Because in worlds with dragons and magic, or interstellar spaceflight and sexually compatible aliens, I'm tired of being told that the most unrealistic thing is people like me.

Because I want to be able to interact with people and have the solutions to my problems be offered as "Go collect these items for me, I'll make you a new weapon!" Instead of "Go lose some weight, fatass."

Because in a game, I don't have to worry about my love interest only pretending to like me, as a distraction tactic, as a joke, as a dare, as a fetish.

Because I'm tired of only seeing people who look like me existing as a joke.

Because my ultimate power fantasy is being fat and NOT being told that I have to put my life on hold until society deems me fit enough for public consumption.

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE VERSION OF THIS SONG

[fadingchildhoodmemories]

Remember we made a play to this in school!!

[lotrreactionmemes]

My friend messaged me this photo yesterday saying it was taken right outside our church. At first I thought “that could be anywhere” until I saw the building. That is definitely our church.

Apparently this 20-year-old gator was the pet of someone who lived nearby. Someone had been keeping an alligator as a pet.

And it got loose.

Then the owner came around and just handled the situation himself. Wild.

[lotrreactionmemes]

This post has gotten over 2,000 notes so I just want to make it clear

[mangaluva-deactivated20220930]

Sometimes I can’t stop thinking about how Zuko accidentally spoke against his father and begged for forgiveness, on his knees with tears in his eyes, and got half his face burned off and banished from his home

Then Zuko betrayed his uncle and everything Iroh had ever taught him, begged for forgiveness on his knees with tears in his eyes, and got a hug and complete forgiveness and unconditional love
