#ALL THESE POC ACTORS JUST MWAH.

[hannibalismos-jaaneman]

people will never understand my love for iwtv for not casting actors who are "typecast vampires" i.e. the timothee chalamet/lily-rose depp variety.

I have... now finished Star Trek: Voyager.

Wow.

I cannot deny the tears that found my eyes.

This was a good series.

Flawed or not, this was a good series.

Many characters were too criminally underused/uncared for.

Stupid crap happened too ofc.

But in the end, I still hold this series to be endearing nonetheless.

Thank you so much for taking us along with you on your journey home.

Farewell, Voyager.

PS - what REAL Voyager ACTUALLY is:

Neelix wasn't as much annoying as the crew was written to be so annoyed by him.

Tuvok got a good ending regardless. He also is implicitly close, close buddies with Neelix.

Janeway is a GOAT. I love her voice. And smile. Kate Mulgrew is a lovely actor.

The Borg Queen is magnificent.

Chakotay did stuff.

Tom was more than just pilot man.

B'Elanna had more depth and reflection and reconciliation on her identity and her history as both human and Klingon.

F her father. No redemption was ever to be considered for that man.

Seven was very well written - if not the best written character in the show (the character most given a shite about in the writers room..)

Chakotay and Seven was never and will never be a thing in any universe.

The Doctor wasn't a fickle shallow cheat like the show constantly mishandled him as.

The Doctor truly had an unrequited love for Seven - but settled with becoming and remaining close as friends. And he did NOT just hook up with some other blonde chick cuz he has actual substance and was drawn to Seven for actual significant reason and not just drawn because he had any kind of "romantic TYPE" at all whatsoever. F the writers for doing The Doctor/Robert Picardo's glorious acting so dirty. And. HIS NAME WILL NEVER BE JOE.

Kess never came back a vengeful hag.

Voyager's CGI and VFX graphics were really good, even if subtly refined a ton towards the end of the 7th season - mwah.

Harry wasn't so eyeroll and actually had more than like 2 episodes on himself and was promoted in Voyager cuz that's what the real Janeway would have known to have done - and he was an actually significant asian character as opposed to just a figurehead of feigned POC representation - in addition to the fact that his character was finally to establish that asia is not Japan.

Seven and The Doctor are gay and are besties with each other - will never change my mind.

mwah! riverposting until the end 🥹💔‼️

1. who is your favorite character?

this is sooooo hard. ok so for a long time when the characters (and the actors) were younger (and me too) i was always sweet on jughead but ultimately my fav character has to be everyone’s favorite nouveau riche ronnie. i also love cheryl, like, s4 onwards, but veronica wins every time. i think it’s partially because camila mendes is just so very pretty, but most of it because her character is bonkers and her arcs are insane.. she doesn’t get as much depth or development as like, say, betty - her arcs are mostly focused on her growing as a girlboss as opposed to as a person, but that just makes me sympathize with her more. insanely, also, it is because the show never lets ronnie win. she tries so hard to be a good person and 90% of the time it backslides and/or backfires and it makes me love her more every time.

5. what do you think the show could’ve handled better?

okay, like, s1-3 had a lot of tv-14 rated sex scenes which like, yeah, i get it, i remember the original audience demographic, but i REALLY got into it once they started focusing more on the storylines (s4-7). did you really expect me to be okay with the idea of cole sprouse. fucking

but on another note. their attempts to address racism (not just in s7 with the toni-and-clay-black -athena-emmett-till storylines or reggie-and-stonewall-prep) but rather like, the storyline of jughead Discovering Racism in season 2 when toni takes him to see her grandad (?) and hears about the serpents backstory. also, interestingly? veronica is…latina, but is it ever mentioned where from? hiram goes to cuba in s7, but for about 6 seasons i’m not sure where she was meant to be from (i could also be forgetting). most of the serpents (ie People In Poverty) are also poc and i don’t know if this was to avoid like, backlash because of racebending considering veronica and reggie of the main cast had already been racebent, thus, them trying to racebend background characters. there is also the issue of supporting cast being poc but then that supporting cast also getting less screen time and development. you cannot say that it’s definitely one caused by the other but out of, say, a consistent 6-character main cast (archie, betty, ronnie, jughead, cheryl and kevin) only one is non-white, with reggie, josie, toni and fangs all becoming regulars later.

they did try! they definitely did try…but i don’t know, could’ve been done better. handled more carefully etc

shadow and bone gifmakers i’m begging you to be more mindful

so with the release of shadow and bone in a week there have been a lot of cool gifsets been going around and they’re all super creative and pretty and wonderful and this is great! this is amazing! but...

i keep seeing gifsets of inej jesper and alina being HORRIFYINGLY oversaturated. this is not a callout post of any particular person, i’m not interested in starting drama, and i’m not saying everyone is doing it or that you’re a horrible person for doing it but as content creators we have to be more mindful of our coloring. like i get sometimes it’s hard to notice when your coloring is oversaturated but i’ve been seeing so many of these gifsets on my dash lately and i just can’t keep quiet anymore.

like i’m not saying you can’t make a gif that’s just like one-tone of red and orange so everything in that set is red/orange/yellow. that’s not weird in any way because that’s the whole gif and it’s clearly just creative color grading

but the issue is with edits that are colored like this:

[caption: two screencaps of jesper from the shadow and bone trailer; one is uncolored while the other is saturated and vibrant but the reds are overstated. end caption.]

now these are a bit messily colored and just screencaps for the sake of time but jesper is WAY oversaturated here and i’m not exaggerating when i say i’ve seen gifs like these on my dash. this is not cute.

what’s cute:

[caption: the same side-by-side of the jesper screencap but the left one has been edited so that his skin tone looks more accurate, while the one on the right is still oversaturated. end caption.]

right there side by side so you can see the difference. again this is a bit messily colored and grainy because i’m lazy right now but even with my laziness it’s EASY to fix! super easy! so easy, in fact, that it took me one layer.

[caption: the selective color adjustment on photoshop with the reds skewed to the right on the cyan slider with +31. end caption.]

most of the time, this is all you need. the number is arbitrary but just add a bit of cyan to your reds! 

here’s a more in depth tutorial on how to fix orange washing. the same tips apply to alina and inej and zoya and all the other characters of color on the show. like again i’m not trying to start shit it’s just important to be mindful of the way we color poc 

with that go forth and make tons of sexy shadow and bone gifs just please don’t do the actors of color like this! mwah
