Have you ever lost acting work due to video essays, podcasts or stuff you said on socials?

Would you self-censor on issues of life and death if you knew that speaking frankly might cost you a gig you wanted?

I know for a fact that I've lost some live speaking gigs because I'm vocally pro-Palestine: the organisers of a few events have told me that directly. I don't know about acting but I wouldn't be surprised; I know I've missed out on a few acting gigs for being trans. I like to think I'd keep doing the right thing even if it'd cost me but I guess we can't really know until we're tested?

I will say, one of the hardest things about being an actress is knowing which men in the industry are rapists and not being able to say anything publicly cause it would ruin both your own life and their victims' lives. That sucks.

Do you know of any trans men in movies who are doing any work? The only one I can think of is Mr Page. Like directors or actors?

Marval Rex and Zack Barack leap to mind. There's a few trans dudes who are "nonbinary" for press reasons but trans men IRL, and a few big names who are trans dudes but aren't out publicly

EDIT: there were a bunch of trans guys in The Hunted with us so check that out for more!

How do you draw the line between questioning and repression?

this is the question the door asks you to get into the trans dark brotherhood and the answer is transition, my sister

Sometimes having an OC is like "this character is an outlet for my insecurity and trauma" and sometimes it's like "this character is an outlet for my love of vampires :)". Sometimes it's both

[pillowspace]

Sometimes you think it's "this character is an outlet for my love and nothing more :)" and then you look it over later like "shit. product of the deepest depths of my soul again"

Girls can have a berserk mode as a treat. fangs and glowing eyes and animalistic snarling are good enrichment for girls.

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

What’s your undertale soul trait/color?

i can't remember cause i fucked up playing Undertale my first time through and didn't get the desired experinece lol. I thought the pacifist run was just how you were supposed to do it, like I don't know why but I just thought that was the whole point, so the whole thing about having to learn the lesson to get there? and then replay it? i just didn't do that. i was just god's perfect angel first time organically out the gate, immaculate conception go directly to heaven
