Mamma Mia! (2008) dir. Phyllida Lloyd
i really im absolutely astounded at the phenomenal job that MIB did not to be racist against aliens, despite being a movie about secret agents chasing evil aliens. that scene where jay helps an alien mother to give birth is probably one of the most humanizing moments for an Other ive seen in a movie ever.
like it grabs the body snatcher trope from the cold war "aliens are all around you, hidden in diguzise, they could be any one of us!" and then it says "and theyre just people, theyre literally just people trying to live their lives and thats fine"
you literally have a whooe scene where a cop stands out because he says "i dont care how menacibg or threatning someone looks im not going to shoot them if there is a reasonable explination for what theyre doing, one is sneezing and one is just doing excercise", and that is the guy that gets aproved to join MIB.
The movie has a real love for NYC and immigrant culture as a part of that. The opening scene where K welcomes the undocumented immigrants to the United States. One alien greets another and says he's ordered him pierogi. A lot of them are refugees from their home worlds who just want to survive.
Iâm blindsided by authors using ai in their works. how can readers and writers tell if the writing is ai generated?
Iâm gonna assume writers know whether or not their own works are ai because they either write them themselves or have ai write for them.
but as for readers (or writers who read other writersâ works), no, you canât tell unless the writer themself says their works are ai generated. anything else is witch hunt, speculations and possibly wrongful accusations â all of which harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.
so if at any point you think an untagged work is ai and if that bothers you, quietly click away. but you can never know for sure based on vibes. because everything ai writes, a human writer does. thatâs what ai was trained on and what it was trained to mimic.
Iâve already talked more about this here, here, here. and more on my other blog @writingdose here and here.
You can notice certain telltale signs in some of the writing, such as short sentence stacking and usage of "not x not y but z" structures. But you have to be familiar with AI writing styles to be able to notice that.
Iâve been writing ânot x, not y, but zâ way before gen ai became a thing. Iâve read works that have ânot x, not y, but zâ in them, and Iâve read those works way before gen ai became a thing. Iâve also been using em dash way before gen ai became a thing, and Iâve seen em dash used in so many written works way before gen ai became a thing. I know for a fact some human writers actually prefer short sentence stacking too.
every âai telltaleâ is something humans write before, otherwise ai wouldnât have been able to mimic it in the first place. because it needs human-made works to mimic on.
when I say ai witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more, ânot x, not y, but zâ and em dash are one of the main things Iâm talking about.
As I saw someone say recently, when you start declaring "obvious tells," from punctuation to sentence styles, to be proof of AI, what you're actually spotting is trace amounts of the original source material.
Boss Chaikamon's machine translated message to fans [Re: BL drama of existing with other people]
As an actor, whether it's in BL series, films, or any other form of acting, my job is to convey the characters and stories in a way that makes the audience believe, connect with, and enjoy the work. That's the responsibility I'm fully committed to.
What everyone sees on screenâthe relationships, feelings, and chemistry between the charactersâis the result of acting, preparation, and collaboration among the actors, crew, and director to make the story as realistic as possible.
But when the performance ends, so does the role. An actor's private life is another aspect that should be respected, because the character and the actor's identity are not the same thing.
I understand that many people love and are attached to their favorite characters or pairings, which is something I'm always grateful for. At the same time, I hope everyone understands that supporting artists can happen without speculating on or judging their private lives.
Finally, what I want everyone to believe in is the work I put my heart into and my identity as a working professional, not rumors or baseless speculation. Those things not only affect me but also those around me and the work of many parties involved.
Thank you to everyone who supports me, understands my role as an actor, and respects each other's private lives. đ€đđ»
Boss had more to say on this: [again machine translation]
There have been several topics being discussed lately, so I would like to take this opportunity to clarify everything just this once.
Regarding the rumors that I have become a father or already have a childâregardless of the sourceâI want to confirm that these reports are completely untrue. If the day comes when I actually have a child, I will be the one to announce it myself, and I will do so with the pride of a father.
As for my love life, if that day arrives, I will also share the news personally. There is no need to rely on rumors or hearsay from others, as you are all important to me. Therefore, for any significant matter, please wait to hear the news directly from me.
In the past, I chose not to speak out because I believed that baseless stories did not deserve attention or a platform over the truth. However, now that these rumors are affecting my work, I find it necessary to clarify the situationâto protect my work and the team members who have been impacted, and to reassure clients, colleagues, and everyone reading this message that these rumors are false.
Fabricating stories based on speculation and spreading them as if they were facts is not a game; the consequences are far greater than many realize. Irresponsible words can genuinely damage a person's life, career, and credibility.
For an artist or actor to reach this point, it takes immense effort, patience, and a sense of responsibilityâboth toward assigned duties and society at large. Yet, all too often, that hard work is undermined by rumors and misinformation spread by people acting out of amusement or a desire for entertainment, without regard for the impact on others' lives and careers.
I hope that in the future, before believing or sharing a story, everyone will choose to verify the facts and prioritize reason over the thrill of rumors. I firmly believe that the truth will always speak louder than rumors. Thank you to everyone who has understood, trusted, and supported me all along. đ€đđ»đ«¶đ»

My favorite ongoing relationship bit with B is that if one of us is walking somewhere (usually in the house) the other will suddenly block their path and get in their face really aggressively like theyâre looking for a fight, except instead we will gently kiss and boop noses (all while glaring hostilely) before slowly edging around each other, (still glaring). Itâs great, 10/10 recommend including it in your bit repertoire.
little thingy from the other week, stuff on my mind
Or as I've always liked to put it, "No matter how suspicious you might find the neighbor who never opens their blinds, they will never be as suspicious as the neighbor who wants free rein to peek in through peopleâs windows."

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.
What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.
So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.
Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.
not going to leave this in the tags: THIS POST is what inspired me to learn gifmaking! my brain is not functioning in a way conducive to writing these days, but passive consumption simply doesn't provide enough nourishment to live. plus, it gave me an entirely new appreciation for the craft of making television beyond just the script & actors. so not only does creating provide that slow dopamine hit, it can also give you a new perspective that will enhance your enjoyment of everything else you watch/read. :)

happy donna sheridan unprotected sex day (1/3), everybody!!!
I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 oâclock. tattoo of a cobra⊠sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things donât exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive
Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself âis this someone Iâd want to divorce?â As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when theyâre upset and donât particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, donât marry them.

What the heck! As of this reblog, this comic has 21 notes. Apparently a little reblog chain happened, but I donât really remember noticing. Much higher numbers than my usual 0 or 1. My first taste of success, and I totally missed it!
honestly, if I had a comic take off I wouldnât mind this one. I still like the joke.
