#Be humble and do the work

[allycat75]

Ugh, another romantic comedy, Boston Dumb Fuck! Not your strong suit!

Considering your recent dubious track record, your clear emotional impediments and your complete lack of self awareness that you actually "love love", this new movie may be a bigger risk than you think.

And besides, do you think you can handle more than one movie a year? Could we as an audience handle that much BDF in a 365 day period? But I guess you did sell your soul for this deal so may as well reap the rewards while the camera can still capture your image.

I don't need to tell you that you can't afford another failure. We know "Red One" is going to be another huge stain on your professional canvas. The cult movie has potential if you can actually humble yourself enough to listen to the director, as well as trust the voices in your head you have been trying to shush for years (if you haven't already, get going to that therapist, because if done right, this role has the potential to release some unknown darkness you have been shoving deep down. Use it, but be wise- you have seen what damage can be done when you let the personal and professional bleed into an indiscernible blob).

But "Pain Hustlers" had potential too, and you just lazily phoned that one in with your typical-as-of-late "tell, not show" performance style. Tell me, when one of your movies falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

I don't know about this romantic comedy though. There are good people around you, but to paraphrase a line from a great film, you may be a smart man, but you don't know what the fuck love is!

Similar to your tone deaf pursuit of a political life with ASP, it is hard to image a man so bereft the comprehension love, could you ever have the context to portray it in any form of veracity on screen. I believe this goes back to your blockages and that darkness you have suppressed. It all comes out no matter how hard we try, and it has manifested for you in this true-life horror love story of yours. No one who truly loved love would have agreed to any of this, let alone go to the depths of deception and despair your warped fairy tale has taken. You have crept into your own brain portal (a la "Being John Malkovich") and have been stuck there so long you don't know what is real and fake anymore. How could you be expected to portray a romantic character of any interest when the one you have become in real life is simply sad and grotesque?

If you don't want this to be another embarrassing failure added to the heap, make this a priority of knots you need to untie with that therapist you should be seeing. Otherwise, it's yet another selfish act that will waste the time of everyone around you, for an opportunity that could have gone to someone who was truly hungry for the chance to try.

And here is an article for you- just some food for thought since you seem to have your head up your ass and may need some context regarding what an audience may be thinking regarding romantic comedies these days:

Look, I obviously don't know you and you could be great in this part. However, I suspect you know it is hollow and undeserved, so at least try to make it and yourself better.

Thinking of becoming a guy that thinks wolves are the most badass and aspirational animal, but about ants. Like wearing t-shirts about being loyal to my Queen and training to bench 5x my bodyweight. Studying ant warfare. Posting shit like this

Sooooo am doing some house keeping of my files and found this fight I never finished. I did it two years ago when I started to try fight scene storyboarding stuff (note this was before Escape-A-Tello) IT IS VERY OLD AND SCRATCHY, but thought I would share this anyway as, in a way, I am still proud of it

The real sign of the inevitable dissolution of Jayce and Viktor's partnership/friendship really was the Progress Day Speech. I've seen people say this scene highlighted the growing shift in priorities between Jayce and Viktor. That Jayce was getting swept up in the limelight while Viktor wanted to keep it humble and stick to the work, and that's wrong.

First thing's first, Viktor does in fact want to go on stage (he was excited to just demonstrate the hexclaw), and Jayce is sincere in that he wants to share the spotlight and credit for hextech with Viktor. The problem in that scene is that for practically 7 years, Jayce has failed to see what's actually going on.

Jayce can't see that his face and only his face is on the mugs, the blimps, and the very banners that decorate the hall he's supposed to give a speech in. Jayce can't see that the Councilors direct all their questions on hextech to him while Viktor sits right next to him. Jayce doesn't notice that Mel, the most perceptive Councilor, still thought of Viktor as Heimerdinger's assistant (she didn't know they were close??!?!). He doesn't realize that the discussion on weaponizing hextech is centered on him rather than between him and his partner. Viktor isn't the one being invited to Piltover's parties for a reason.

Between Jayce and Viktor, they're partners on equal grounds, but to EVERYONE else in Piltover Viktor is practically a non-entity. The only person who doesn't get this is Jayce. It's a testament to Jayce's earnest naivette to think Viktor, as a Zaunite and visibly disabled, would be easily welcomed on stage by Piltover's elite to represent what Piltover has to offer. You'll notice this is the same crowd of people that attend Mel's Gala, the same Gala Viktor wasn't invited to.

This dynamic is insane!?!?! It's unsustainable!!!!! Obviously, Viktor is a grown man and could have mentioned something to Jayce, but also it's at least 7 years, how does someone miss this?!?!

By their last scene of the finale, Jayce was able to give Viktor a voice on the Council by literally standing by his side and giving him a seat at the table, but like peace treaty, the gesture has come far too late, and things cannot return to as they were.

happy pride month!

question: how would you (their writer) describe your character's gender + sexual + romantic identity, and how would the character themselves describe it? fallen london is pretty welcoming of queer people, although their vocabulary for it is naturally very different from modern day
