Death of Pluto (Coming Soon!)

Hey all, I wanted to give a teaser for the upcoming sequel to The Haunting of Lockwood Estates, whose working title is Death of Pluto.

April 2008.

It has barely been a month since the life-altering events in Blackridge, New Hampshire, and 22-year-old Nancy Drew is working desperately to get back to normal. But even the simplest of cases leave her worrying that every shadow hides the supernatural. It doesn’t help that her new friend, Dean Winchester, has been sending her monster-hunting tips every day, with Sam sending rebuttals of what he would do instead.

In the midst of Nancy having a crisis over whether to confide in Ned about the existence of ghosts, an old friend calls, begging for her help in finding Sonny Joon, who has vanished while searching for an alien artifact deep in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico.

Hidden in the moody shadows on the southeast corner of the Land of Enchantment, Nancy must traverse ancient legends, restless spirits, and alien activity, as well as unexplained astronomical events, monsters, and the possibility of a realm beyond her own.

Balancing her new knowledge of the supernatural with her disbelief of aliens, as well as her relationships and newfound allies, Nancy must figure out what exactly she believes in.

Before someone else decides for her.

Join her on her next adventure, Death of Pluto.

boigameista

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

boigameista

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍

I'm laughing so hard oh nO

No matter how you feel about Scarlett Johansson as a person, the fact is that with this claim, you should be supporting her in this case against Disney. It doesn’t matter that “she’s rich and she doesn’t need more money”, or whatever you think about the casting controversies. This is a legal breach of contract, that apparently meant she lost out on 50 MILLION DOLLARS. She is completely justified. And if she lost that much, how much did Florence possibly lose out on? Rachel and David? Anyone who’s acted in a Disney+ release, how much did they lose out on because the Mouse House are greedy fuckers who want 100% of the profits?

At the end of the day, it’s about equal pay. It’s about Disney not thinking that because they’re a multi-billion dollar conglomerate they’re allowed to bully their actors into taking less than they were promised. It’s about protecting actors who are not white A-List Hollywood stars with the means to endlessly fund expensive lawyers from the same exploitation in the future.

Until more information is released, I’m standing with Scarlett. You can’t really claim that you support professional women to demand what they’re worth and promised and then be like, “except her, she’s doing fine as is”. Even if her motivations were entirely selfish, or she doesn’t win, it’s highly likely at this point that with her big name, a lot of other actors are going to come forward.

(maybe I’m mad that she’s destroying her own mcu legacy but I suppose this was a bigger worry. also i’m a little confused because she just signed on to produce that Tower of Terror movie for Disney so is that now off? idk I just want everyone to be friends this fandom is never peaceful)

Also bear in mind, she’s clearly been pissed with them for months now, but was still professional enough to do the PR tour for the movie.

I read her complaint. This is legit.

Disney is legally obligated to meet the letter and spirit of its contractual obligations. Scarlett is alleging that Disney has failed to do so, perhaps intentionally. This is a breach of contact and likely tortious. She has the right to sue for damages. People should get the benefit of what they bargained for in their contractual agreements. People should not cheat other people.

Scarlett held up her end of the contract and apparently made a great movie. She claims that the contract was for theatrical release only for the first 90-120 days, because she negotiated a percentage of box office receipts as part of her compensation. Her complaint alleges that *the bulk of her compensation* was this back end percentage of revenue.

Previous Marvel movies had exclusive windows of at least 82 days, and 117 days on average. And people would pay to see the Marvel movie multiple times, so that’s more ticket revenue.

By releasing simultaneously on Disney+, Disney lured many new subscribers, and got them to pay $30 more to watch black widow, and its stock price rose, which increased compensation for Disney executives. This also cannibalized theatre box office receipts, including no one going to the theater multiple times, reducing Scarlett’s compensation. So Disney both made more money for itself AND had to pay Scarlett less money.

Disney needs to pay her all of what she’s owed. She is suing for intentional interference with contractual relations and inducing breach of contract.

Only a person as wealthy as Scarlett can afford the astronomical legal fees that it will cost to sue Disney. Millions of dollars, easily. And she might lose the lawsuit because Disney has very tough lawyers and uses very aggressive legal tactics. Only a person as wealthy as Scarlett can afford to gamble on millions in legal fees and know she might lose.

Only a person as successful as Scarlett has potential monetary damages that make it worth spending all that money on legal fees, because she could recover way more money than it costs her to bring that lawsuit. One article said she’s potentially looking at $60m in damages.

Only a person as successful as Scarlett can afford to piss off Disney, which owns basically everything, and potentially get blacklisted by other major studios. Could a less prominent actor risk their career with this sort of lawsuit? No. Could anyone else in that movie? No.

Scarlett should be applauded for standing up for her rights. This is her money, she earned it over ten years of developing Black Widow, and Disney needs to not fucking cheat her.

s-leary

Disney damn well knew it needed to amend her contract, because Warner Bros. spent a fortune doing so when it moved all its releases to HBO Max. Disney said, “nah.” What about all the other movies that moved to Disney+? Did the cast of Raya get compensated?

Disney has a habit of screwing over creators. Unlike most of the others, Johansson can afford to sue them for it. Good for her. I hope she takes them to the cleaners. Because then the others will have a legal precedent that will help them pursue their own complaints against the company.

lettersfromtitan

Also, if this is screwing her, it’s also screwing EVERYONE else who gets payments based on box office and various types of residuals. And those people can’t necessarily afford to sue. (Yes, those people are real, I still get checks every quarter from a film I was in in 2006. At this point, that amounts to a few hundred bucks a year, but that’s groceries. And in the first couple of years, it was thousands and the only way I could pay my rent at that point. This matters.)

#DisneyMustPay #hey remember how we recently learned they were refusing to pay royalties to writers? #claiming the purchase of contracts from other companies entitled them to get money #from the IPs #but didn’t obligate them to pay the writers despite that being in the original contracts they bought? #and how when Alan Dean Foster came forward a whole bunch of other lesser known writers did too? #IF THEY’RE SCREWING OVER SCARJO THEY’RE SCREWING OVER ALL THE OTHER ACTORS TOO #AND LIKELY CREW ETC #class issues #capitalism #pay people for their work #PAY PEOPLE FOR THEIR FUCKING WORK

alexseanchai

and Disney claiming Johansson is objecting to pandemic safety measures (namely, releasing the movie on streaming instead of in potentially crowded theaters) is hilarious given when Disney reopened their theme parks

clonesdreamgirl

Also, if she wins this sets a legal precedent for similar future cases which means she’s helping people with less money if they have to go after a big company for breach of contract, etc

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

snackwizard

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

maramahan

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

jkl-fff

scottjate

This is so important

graylinesspam

That self-aggrandizing technique is no joke.

I replaced “I’m stupid” with “I’m a God damn genius.” “Move over newton” “another masterpiece”

I replaced “gross/ disgusting” with “sexy/attractive” “the hight of elegance”

I replaced “I suck/ that sucked/ this is bad” with “fantastic”, “a lovely time”, “ swell/jolly good”

Replace every negative with a positive. Say it so sarcastically. Make it complicated make it entertaining have fun with it.

It will stop your self deprecating and build confidence. And people are more easygoing around you.
