oh no guys. . . HUGE what the fuck moment. . . oh my god. . .

zendaya is using a 3 thousand years old Iranian earrings, clearly sourced from the archeological black market, to promote nolan's "odyssey" right after having a private jet fly out to get one (1), singular, dress and only that. . .

i'll repeat: zendaya, an AMERICAN actress, promoting NOLAN'S odyssey, IS WEARING A 3 THOUSAND YEARS OLD IRANIAN EARRINGS to a red carpet

i don't even know how to properly convey how fucking insane and disappointing that is

like i knew to not expect much from the movie, given nolan's blatant disrespect and disregard towards Greece and it's history and traditions, and also the disrespect and disregard towards the tradition of the Odyssey and it's adaptations in itself, the architecture, the clothing, the battle armour, even the ships all either sourced from another culture or just downright being something he callously made up to satisfy his own weird needs

and now this??? specially given the whole political aspect and climate between Iran and United States??? you have THE star of the modern generation, arguably the biggest name in your crew for your younger audience, attending an hours long event with an illegally sourced, housed in ENGLAND even, millennia old artifact that has nothing to do with the story that you are telling and is also from the country hers country is constantly attacking and breaking ceasefire agreement, it's just tone death and crass, and just as bad as when margot robbie wore the Taj Mahal Necklace to promote "WUNTERING HEIGHTS".

had to comment on this wild fucking red carpet stunt, here's an archeologist that is more eloquent with the criticism

phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye

[sanguine-humor]

he keeps me sane

btw, idk if this will be seen by any of the countless people who already have seen and reblogged this post, but heres the original guide posted on how to make the chibi-rocky! the OP also has a separate guide for a more accurate rocky, though obviously less simple of a guide than the little thingy shown off

(im surprised this post gained any attention, haha, if i had known i would have just shared the guides, the more handmade pebbles in the world the better)

category 12 thinking about season four martin event please keep me in your prayers

[martindykewood]

when jon asks about his poetry and hes like i havent exactly had a lot of time recently and its like. that may be true but its obviously more than that. like theres always talk (and this idea has become less en vogue in circles adjacent to me over the last decade but it is by no means gone) of creative geniuses throughout history being so good bc they were mentally ill but in reality its actually unbelievable how difficult it is to make art when youre deeply depressed. its one thing to write a poem when youre sad bc youre, For Example, pining after your boss who hates you, but its another thing entirely to write a poem when youre actively, deliberately cutting yourself off from the world and your own emotions. where does the poetry come from if you cant dig your hands in and pull it out of the world or your emotions. and why would you even care about poetry if its not for and from the world and your emotions. and how do you begin to heal if you cant access the world and your emotions. and and and

[martindykewood]

no literally like the fact that 1. jon felt such a strong need to connect that he 2. dug up the memory of something he knows martin likes and 3. asked about it in That Voice and then 4. martin didnt even react. he didnt even get all breathless and excited that jon cared enough to ask. he didnt even like. smile. remember how happy he sounded when daisy told him that people said he and jon were close. thats how he wouldve responded if jon asked him about his poetry in season three. but hes too far gone for that! lol!

stratt gets to her monthly scheduled half-hour for "feeling things" and lets herself descend into cheeky little bitter envious frenzy over not having the coma resistance gene markers. oh, to not have to face the rest of her life on earth and be locked away helpless while everyone starves, and instead just wake up, work for a single month more, eat the best food available, fix everything with her own two hands, die in satisfied peace, and be remembered with reverence. she's just getting into a proper spiral about how grace has this opportunity but can't even seem to comprehend why this would the most beautiful thing and why, why doesn't he? does he not care? about the world, about me, about himself? what's wrong with him? he has the capacity to care, I've seen it, it's there, but he refuses it. why won't he do this for all of us? if I could just reach into his brain and fix-- and then her alarm goes off and she has to go to her next meeting.

Truth Scrapper Demo Stats?!?!

Hello! I’m Chris, the Community Manager here at insertdisc5. If you’ve not seen me on the podcast with Adrienne or over on the Discord, it’s nice to meet you!

ADRIENNE SPEAKS: i'm also here

As our first real chat I wanted to share some of the stats we got from the Truth Scrapper demo (which you can play here!). I want to put “and the first one will SHOCK YOU” or something but that’s a bit played out so… WOW LOOK, STATS!! That’s alright, right? Right.

Let’s stats!

So many played?!

Ahhh!! Look at those stats, just over 4000 of you played the demo, but the REALLY staggering one is that 26.5% of you got 100%! Just couldn’t settle on one, huh? It’s okay, I get it and fully support you. That’s a BIG number though! To go back and not only choose between Amour or Betz but to pick EVERY sense as well to see what happens?! Thank you!! It’s very gratifying to see the game connected with so many of you!

ADRIENNE SPEAKS: 25% of people 100% the game is bonkers btw. bonkers stats. thank you

Speaking of the senses…

So many senses!

Here’s the data for what “stats” players picked on their first playthrough!

This one genuinely surprised me because I was an ears person all the way. Wait, not that, Though maybe? No. But? Anyway. One thing I LOVED when I first played the demo was picking what you noticed because I could pick the thing that I actually DO notice in real life. Hearing and smell are both of mine so it’s interesting to see folks pick others. All you wonderful eye people out there are having a great day. Also, of course strength came out on top, classic strength move. This one was a lot closer though so brains and, my choice, people, are still pretty well represented. 

ADRIENNE SPEAKS: 69% (nice) of you picked the Sights stats, which is so much. Makes sense since we usually rely on sight more than any other senses. The percentage is probably gonna stay the same for the full game, so I'll be sure to make Sight worth it, as well as give the other two senses a little something to reward players for picking something new... And the second stats are pretty equal so I'm happy. Very funny that no one wants Sosotte to use her brain with the Intelligence stat at 25%

Okay, now we’re into The Big One…

Betz or Amour?

Amour wins, with 50.44% of people picking him on their first playthrough!

This was INCREDIBLY close to 50/50 with Amour just taking it. It makes sense! They’re both wonderful! Who could resist either?! Well, as we saw earlier, 26.5% of you went back and did the whole thing a number of times to get 100% so, that many. Honestly, I don’t know what I expected but I didn’t expect it to be SO close. I think you just assume, “oh look at the person I like, they’re so perfect! I love them! Everyone will love them!” so there I was thinking “it’s an Amour sweep” but no! Might as well be 50/50. I love that for us. 

ADRIENNE SPEAKS: This is SO CLOSE to 50/50 I can't even believe it. Thank you for liking both girls an almost exact amount. And for liking Amour a tiny bit more

While I’m here, I just want to say again, a HUGE thank you to everyone for playing, making fan art, hanging out on the Discord, and sharing the demo with their friends. Also, on a personal note, thank you for being such a warm and welcoming community, I’m pretty new here but everyone has been lovely!

ADRIENNE SPEAKS: Thank you for reading!

Until next time,

See you out there,

- Chris @ insertdisc5
