it makes me so mad that "confessions of a human shield" by emily nussbaum doesn't exist anywhere outside of the physical essay collection it's a part of because it's so fucking good & i think it deserves to be a foundational text in how we approach good art made by shitty people, and especially good art about women made by misogynists. like in the wake of the neil gaiman variety piece i wish everyone was able to read it because truly no one gets it like her

groundbreaking text on media analysis in a MeToo world that you can only read by buying a book that is mostly about buffy the vampire slayer

james ortiz provided some of his own personal rocky backstory on the sag aftra podcast, transcribed by me because we all have to be miserable about it together.

link to the podcast, this section below is from timestamp 24.35

“andy weir provided a packet to the creature shop that was like a packet of eridian biology and stuff but there wasn’t much about eridian culture or eridian sociology and i made a bunch of choices going in because i just needed to have like a ‘who am i?’ right? 

[…] and i made a decision that rocky’s species, that eridians are really social animals that in fact are like a beehive or a pod of dolphins - it’s a unique and really integrated ecosystem of everybody doing their [specific] part. and the fact that rocky had to fly that ship for about 45 years - longer than grace has been alive, i wanna point that out - he’s been alone on that ship, having to run that by himself and- ryan and i would talk about that, one day we sat down and he was like “so what’s the movie from rocky’s perspective?” and i was like “oh it’s like ‘alien’, […] like he’s in a ‘contagion’ movie by himself and he has no idea what’s going on.”

he’s basically in castaway by himself which of course ryan is too but like, one reason why we never cut to the past of rocky is like, i think it was really horrifying! i don’t think rocky has slept in however many years and so a thing i was really struggling with is this idea of like “rocky must watch sleep” because how do you make that a need as opposed to like, a cute idea? and i just had to make the decision that […] he has a lot of unprocessed trauma around the things that he doesn’t understand and how much he is blaming himself because he’s the guy who fixes, he’s the guy who fixes and there was something really freeing about deciding that rocky was a deeply emotional, deeply anxious, deeply horrified person - being - that is trying to move through that in some way and how that affects the early scenes with him until there’s a point in the story where you can see we’ve physically softened rocky’s behaviour, because he’s finally feeling more safe and ok but all of that lore, all of that information [was essential].

i also decided, this is just a small nerdy thing, that there was actually some of his family, was on that ship too.”

my apologies to the lovely lady who had only just begun constructing her beautiful spiderweb in the immediate path of the side door this morning when i, in my self-centered desire to vacate my home of assorted household refuse, came oafishly barging through the sum of her efforts. i shall meditate upon my actions and how they harmed not just her, but all women of the world, and endeavour to do better

love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

[bingokill]

Think i might be evil on par with draculas and nosferatus

[valtsv]

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[valtsv]

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

i wanna see more characters with crazy genders and ten sets of pronouns. i want more characters that are several minorities at once no matter if it makes sense or not. i want a genuine miku binder wearing character and a genuine solo poly hijabi, and i want them to be friends. i want characters named Bug and Kai and Fridge and Sock and Microwave. i want nonhuman characters in human fields, and human characters in love with nonhumans. i wanna see characters with several disabilities simply existing. i want characters with clashing interests and fashion styles and hyper-specific jobs. i wanna see characters in polycules, triads, qprs, several at once with different characters. i want characters who are systems with 500+ alters. i want plural characters who are open about it. i want characters who fursuit and wear therian gear and do quads. i want characters who are otherkin. i wanna see a pack of wolf therians and a group of warrior cats feline therians who hang out at the same park. i want a group of characters where everyone has a different shade of skin and different hair color and different fave flavor of monster energy. i wanna see characters that reflect real life !!!!!!!!!!!! i want to see more characters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
