A Steady Rain
did anyone archive this video cause i would seriously kill for it now
ummm… am i going crazy or is that rafael casal on the set of loki season 2?!
As if we weren’t already in enough pain, I spent 700 years making this script vs scene video for Cas’s confession scene in 15x18, so please share it and enjoy! (or suffer would probably be more accurate):
sorry if someone’s already done this but I’m losing my mind
I WISH I’D NEVER KNOWN THIS
don’t try to tell me it doesn’t completely change his character because you know it’s not true.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN MOVIE RANT
So the news dropped today that Danny Pino will be playing “Connor and Zoe’s Stepfather” in the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen. It’s a big change from the original play as Larry Murphy was Connor and Zoe’s biological father in that. And as excited as I am to see Amy Adams and Danny Pino opposite each other, I do have some issues with it.
First of all, this will likely go one of two ways, and I don’t like either of them if I’m being honest:
Possibility #1:
This new stepfather character will absorb Larry Murphy’s arc and Larry Murphy/the biological father will be mostly if not entirely absent for the film.
I like this possibility better, because I‘ve seen tons of Danny Pino’s work and he deserves a chance to shine. Larry, Alana, and Jared are already the three smallest parts of the original play (yet those are the only parts so far that they chose to cast as actors of colour...?) so it would be nice if they kept a significant arc for this new Larry.
What I don’t like is what this would mean for the story and the characters. A big part of why I loved the original play is that the Murphy family didn’t have some huge trauma to cause Connor’s behaviour. He grew up with two parents and a little sister in a stable(ish) home, yet still had anger issues and a troubled childhood. We’ve seen countless movies and books where children of separated parents act out, and I’m afraid that people will now assume that the root cause of Connor’s behaviour is the fact that his parents separated and his biological father isn’t around (they better not throw in a “You’re not even my real dad!” moment with the stepfather or I quit entirely). By having Connor’s parents still together in the original play it showed that mental illness doesn’t always have an “explanation” or a “cause”. How many movies have already been made where the dismissive explanation for a “troubled kid” is divorced parents?
Also, this completely changes the Dad’s arc by having Connor not be his biological son. They’re making the reason for his and Connor’s distance the fact that he’s not Connor’s biological father, which is a trope we’ve seen countless times and is another damaging image for stepparents.
What I’m trying to say is if they take the story this way, it will be less original than the source material and portraying stereotypes for both children of divorce and stepparents.
Possibility #2:
Larry Murphy still exists and maintains his original arc, and the stepfather is just an additional side character.
This possibility is haunting me right now. I don’t even know if I could handle this. I honestly don’t know if I can talk about this one.
So the gist of this theory is that Cynthia Murphy divorced from Larry and remarried this new stepfather character. However, after Connor’s death Larry returns and him and Cynthia reconnect as he struggles with having been distant with Connor and hard on him much like in the original play.
If this ends up being the case, why make this new stepfather character just to push them aside with little to no arc...? Again, it has me thinking that this casting was just to score diversity points. They cast a Latino actor as “The Stepfather” just to make him a flat character and give the entire father arc to some other white guy. And he’s not Zoe and Connor’s biological father so they don’t have to cast Latinx actors in their lead roles! Yay!
Can you imagine how incredible it would’ve been to see Larry, Connor, and Zoe played by Latinx actors?
All this to say, I don’t understand why they made this change. Larry’s arc in the play was original and compelling. I love Danny Pino, and I want to see him have a fully fleshed-out character with a great arc but I just don’t think there’s any possible outcome of this change that I’d like better than the original story.
OSCAR ISAAC in INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS 2013 | dir. Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Here’s some fun facts about one of my favorite stories being told in Hamilton: this is Ariana Debose, who plays a special role within the ensemble known as The Bullet. She’s killed for suspected espionage right after You’ll Be Back, and is the first one to die (not counting Hamilton’s mother or cousin who hangs himself). After this moment, she becomes an omen of death. At the beginning of Stay Alive, she carries a shot that narrowly avoids hitting Hamilton. In Yorktown, she helps Laurens kill a redcoat, shakes his hand, then Laurens is the next to die. In I Know Him, she’s the one bringing the message to King George about John Adams and symbolically heralding the impending doom of Hamilton’s political career. During Blow Us All Away, she’s the one who tells Phillip where to find George Eacker, (and flirts with him! Phillip is literally flirting with death!) then Phillip is the next to die. In Your Obedient Servent, she brings the desk on stage and hands Burr the quill to write the first of several letters that will eventually lead to Alexander Hamilton’s death. During the final duel, she again catches a bullet (fired by Burr), and if you watch her, she gets closer and closer to hitting Hamilton while he’s doing his soliloquy until Eliza pops onto stage. At this point, The Bullet is stopped by other members of the ensemble, the time freeze is abandoned, and we all know what happens next. (soure: JC Payne)
BELIEVE SURVIVORS
(Trigger Warning for sexual assault and r*pe, Ansel Elgort, hateful comments, gaslighting, grooming)
Believe survivors. The alternative is too dangerous. I would rather support a potentially false claim than protect a potential r*pist. Why? Because if we continue to shame, discredit, and attack people who come forward we are showing every single survivor what would happen to them if they tried to tell their story. And yet people still have the audacity to ask, “Why didn’t you come forward earlier?”
When the victim is underage and the accused is older, an unhealthy dynamic exists. And when it’s a celebrity, who has fame and resources on top of this power? It’s even worse.
Instead of only having the people who jump in to say, “There’s no evidence! Why should I believe this?”, there’s also the fans. The following are comments on the recent allegations against Ansel Elgort:
To recap, someone came forward with an incredibly painful, traumatizing account of their experience (that it took years to find the strength and courage to recount) and those are some of the responses?
And keep in mind this is before he even denied it. People attacked her the moment she spoke up.
-
I now need an entire separate area to discuss his “apology”, because frankly I get enraged and disgusted just thinking about it.
He makes it about himself and his feelings in the first line by saying he’s the one that is “distressed” by this.
The main paragraph makes sure to point out that he can’t claim to understand her feelings, but he sure makes an effort to imply that he does, and that whatever her view is, it didn’t even happen.
Like: “Hey I know she thinks I r*ped her but I simply don’t perceive it that way so...”
Furthermore, he makes it very clear that: They were in NEW YORK when they entered a CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIP where THE LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT IS 17. He was EXACTLY 20 YEARS OLD which was 3 YEARS OLDER THAN SHE WAS.
He’s saving his own ass with these remarks by making it clear that what happened was legal. Because obviously the law is a perfect example of what is right.
(I feel like it’s worth noting that the girl in question never said anything different about their ages or the time and place of the events)
(Also worth noting even if you’re in a consensual relationship, that does not mean the sex is consensual)
The more concerning matter however, is that he doesn’t specifically mention the allegations once in the entire post. He doesn’t even mention what he’s being accused of. He basically says, “So I’ve been seeing people saying things about me. I’m not gonna say what they are at all, I’m just gonna say that they didn’t happen”.
This is another tactic to avoid any semblance of guilt by not even acknowledging that you’ve been accused. The way he glosses over the entire situation at hand is appalling.
The part of this “apology” that really makes my blood boil however, the icing on this disgusting cake, is him painting her as a jilted ex who is making this up as payback for a bad breakup from a “brief” relationship.
He tries to flip it around by saying that he was the one that didn’t handle the breakup well, that he regrets the way he acted afterwards, the he was the one who stopped responding to her so that we fill in blanks ourselves. He’s not saying “she’s making this up because she’s upset that I ghosted her” but he might as well be.
He gaslit her when she accused him of putting her through a traumatizing experience that she will never ever forget, to TEN MILLION FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. People were either already attacking her, or were just waiting for an excuse to, and he gave them the green light.
He uses words like “immature”, “cruel“, and “unacceptable” to describe his past behaviour to show that he feels “disgusted” and “deeply ashamed”. These words are what gets the reader to believe he’s matured and that he understands what he did was wrong. He says he wants “to work to grow in empathy” but literally one paragraph before that he publicly calls his accuser a flat-out liar. To TEN MILLION FOLLOWERS. I don’t believe for one second that he wasn’t just trying to reel in sympathy for himself, to pull everyone onto his side and off of hers.
He makes sure to convey that he’s remorseful, but makes it clear that it is not remorse for what she is saying happened. He’s trying to be forgiven and have us move on without even acknowledgIng or confrontIng anything: “I’m sorry for what I did, but it also never happened. I apologize, please forgive me for something I definitely would never have done.”
To summarize, the dangers of defending a potential predator and subsequently discrediting the victim and silencing future survivors far outweigh the “dangers” of supporting a false claim.
So...

This is the most dramatic, moving, heartfelt performance ever. Spectacular, beyond words, an opera in itself!
Thank God for lending him to us.
ummm the fact that Umbrella Academy only dropped a year ago sounds so fake. I swear I’ve been waiting for season 2 for years.
like I’m supposed to believe there was only two months between UA and endgame??

*For Winter Soldier and Civil War it’s arguable what constitutes a sentence but it’s worth noting that I was generous not the opposite.
Russos: Characters that we sidelined in Infinity War will have their time to shine in Endgame!
Me: *thinking about Sebastian Stan’s 8 lines in Infinity War* nice

Endgame: *Bucky says 2 lines*
