DISCOURAGING, DEMONIZING, AND ALIENATING NEWBIES
Are we demonizing and alienating people who choose to find jobs at voices dot com (VDC) or Fiverr? Someone new to VO posted this on Facebook recently: “A couple days ago I posted on another VO FB group I’m on about some success I was having on Voices dot com aka VDC as a very new talent, trying to share my experience so others could know what to expect when it comes to their “algorithm” for…

Anya Taylor Joy is a confirmed Bharani ASC thank goodness I was right. Elven beauty and playing the vengeful Furiosa??? BHARANIIIIII NATION STAND UPPPPPPP
Tumblr media
Also. I personally believe Tom Hiddleston is a sidereal Virgo ASC. I am for the first nakshatras of the rashi. If he is, I wonder if Loki is more Uttara Phalguni because Uttara Phalguni Sun native Jeremy Irons has voiced the character Scar. He parallels Loki a lot. And also, Hela is literally played by a Krittika Sun! And she is very similar to Loki, too. So there's a lot of Sun in the theme of fighting for the throne. Will be researching this because I'm seeing an heirdom overlap between Sun and Ketu again! (Interestingly, with Tom Hiddleston's possible Uttara Phalguni ASC and Ashwini Moon, he has played King Henry V who has also been played by other Solar and Ketu natives (such as Uttara Phalguni native Michael Sheen played the character, and double Ketu native Timothee Chalamet has as well. Ashwini Moon Adrian Lester played Henry V. King Henry VIII has been portrayed by double Mula native Jonathan Rhys Meyers as well. More importantly, Uttara Phalguni Sun Jeremy Irons has played King Henry IV!!! I also made the connection of Ketu nakshatras to King Arthur). I'll be definitely coming back to this pattern for Sun nakshatras).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The green seems to be associated with the Mercury rashis. In vedic astrology, the colour of the nakshatras Ardra and Hasta is green. They fall in the Gemini and Virgo rashi respectively. Scar's voice actor is a Virgo Sun, while I personally suspect Tom Hiddleston having Virgo ASC as well. Both these villainous/anti-hero characters are known for their association with green.
Tumblr media
Kovu is the son of Scar, and I love the green trait mark in the eyes. He is voiced by Uttara Phalguni, likely in Virgo, Moon Jason Marsden.
When actors have played the same characters, or very similar characters, there tends to be a synastry! Loki and Scar are literally the same character, let's be so fucking serious. And Uttara Phalguni is a very ambitious nakshatra so the power-trip tendencies are often the negative impulse of it, due to the themes that define it. And Loki & Scar's counterparts are Uttara Phalgunis themselves.
Tumblr media
And not the only Tom Hiddleston-Jeremy Irons connection; they both played the historic figure, Uttara Phalguni Sun native, F. Scott Fitzgerald!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
F. Scott Fitzgerald was also Ashwini Moon, and Tom Hiddleston's possible Uttara Phalguni ASC would mean he has Ashwini Moon. But Hasta is common in witchcraft, magic, fraudulence, impersonation and deception. So Hasta is also possible as well, as it is still Virgo.
Tumblr media
This scene has always, always gave me Hasta energy. Either way, with a plain Virgo ASC, that puts his Jupiter and Saturn in the 1H in HASTA. So 1H would still be in Hasta and that's valid enough. Also the possible Saturn in the 1H makes sense, I so see it on his appearance.
This is all speculation, of course. I'd be very excited to be proven right.

MISS DIPLOMAT & MR. CHARMING |
dominik szoboszlai x female reader.
Tumblr media
author's note: this handsome man's living rent-free in my head. he's a freaking masterpiece. talented, funny, charismatic, attractive. i watched interviews, tiktok videos made by supporters and much more to understand a little bit of his language, personality and what he does towards friends and loved ones. laughed a lot! i made my homework as a writer, hope you enjoy it! (compliments and any kind of retributions are more than welcomed).
summary: your job is involving the commitment of unify the population and create interrelations to another countries, using the eurocup qualifiers and the hungary national team executions. you just didn't expect to fall in love with the no. 10's captain player.
words and characters: 1,811/11,223. it was three days working too hard on this story. i'm begging for your consideration, lol.

sports diplomacy: it's the unique power of sport to bring people, nations, and communities closer together via a shared love of physical pursuits. this responsibility is the reason of a transition between strangers to connected individuals, advancing foreign policy goals and augmenting sport for development initiatives. the complex landscape where sport, politics, and diplomacy overlap become clearer, as do the pitfalls of using sport as a tool for overcoming and mediating separation between people, nonstate actors, and states. the power of sport has never been more important. so far, the 21st century has been dominated by disintegration, introspection, and the retreat of the nation-state from the globalization agenda. in such an environment, scholars, students, and practitioners of international relations are beginning to rethink how sport might be used to tackle climate change, gender inequality, and the united nations sustainable development goals, for example. to boost these integrative, positive efforts is to focus on the means as well as the ends, that is, the diplomacy, plural networks, and processes involved in the role sport can play in tackling the monumental traditional and human security challenges of our time. credits: international studies association and oxford university press.

MLSZ (hungarian football federation) ──
new training ground at telki.
"i can't believe that being in places like this made up my most theoretically utopian childhood dreams. what a progress in front of me!" you still witness exciting moments where you pinch yourself, trying to believe in the reality that surrounds you: visiting the new training center of the players who are just a few meters away from you, getting ready to represent an entire country.
"your presence is our privilege. a voice of the spread of eurocup to our nation, right here…" the technical director gives you deference, obtaining a measure of humbleness and respect by you.
"the honor belongs to me in its entirety. grateful for having me, sir. while the view is immersive and captivating — my fervent congratulations to everyone involved — could we retreat from the pleasant glass-enclosed room and see everything closer, on the outside? please? i will never get used to this atmosphere." you pour politeness and charisma to the staffs around you, being directed to the proximity of the field and saluting the employees who pass through your path.
meet dominik — your szobo — instigates the nostalgic combination of detailed moments in which your thoughts display as photographic retrospectives. you're incapable to oppose the little enthusiastic laughs, fidgeting the rings between your fingers and avoiding possible suspicious glances from others. however, for you, this wouldn't actually work. the lives of you both are correlated, but different.
the training session is finished. clapping your hands and celebrating the performances, you greet the athletes and recognize some familiar people. nevertheless, reality slows down after those dark woody eyes capture through your soul. his arms tattoos are glorified by the sun's rays, the same illuminated smile is offered to you: that one you got during the very first time you saw him — instantly knowing he made you testimony the accuracy of freedom, catharsis and emotional amorous complement. that he'd be the one to introduce you what you never experienced, what you thought you'd never receive or deserve. what love truly is. when you were novices in your actual professions, not even imagining the future gifts of your unreal purposes.
"there you are!" intimately, dominik points at you, being reciprocated by vibrant nods and your old sort of secret — not that mysterious or serious — handshake. "még mindig emlékszel rá? (still remembering it?). you're a real one!"
"hogy tudnám elfelejteni? alábecsülsz engem. (how could i forget it? you're underestimating me)". your defensive actions demonstrate purposeful falseness. masking any sensitive, verbal or figurative communicative fragment from him is a difficulty that makes you give in over time. honestly, you never complain about this. it's like he wants to understand the factors and layers of you.
"a te kézfogás fickó. ne merészelj lecserélni engem. (your handshake man… don't you dare to replace me)". a shameless wink is send to you, butterflies acquiring space in your stomach.
"és hivatalosan is a szavamat adom rá. (and you officially have my word on it)." your gloss is pigmented against your fingers while you raise it up, displaying an oath, wondering if szoboszlai comprehends that his replacement in your life would be blasphemous.
"diplomata kisasszony, (miss diplomat)…" the hungarian fingerprints are shared and you recognize the sign to hold them, ready to perform your typical fashion icon moment. "gorgeous as always. go ahead! you know what to do!".
amusement surrounds you with the nickname's citation. although, you could feel some curious glances, from the outsiders, about the intimacy between you and him. "i appreciate, our top-class national bless…" you move your body in rotations to exclaim the outfit's characteristics, lifting your feet to show off the specificities of your heels. "how is your hair so well-groomed after sweating, though?" your arms cross and you raise an eyebrow in questioning, trying to hide your fascination.
"thank you, my number-one fan, but don't change the subject. finish our inside joke, c'mon!" dominik grabs his water bottle and spreads the cooling liquid on his forehead, wiping the glowing droplets across his face as he lifted his jersey high enough to exhibits his fortified abs.
your attention is directed to any surrounding scenery, throat being piked. szoboszlai pretends he doesn't notice, preventing to embarrass you.
"alright, alright! you've won, bájos úr… (mr. charming)". your final comment escapes as, practically, a whisper. you can't control the shy laughter, coupled with the considerable redness invading your cheeks.
"that's the secret to make my day!" using his tongue to reproduce a sharp noise, he matches your humorous reactions. "would you like me to show you the infrastructure changes? i'm just gonna take a shower!"
"i've already been granted a tour around here, but in case you insist…" during the dialogue, some athletes cross your space, wishing them good luck for the competition. your concentration on the activity is significant, at the point that dominik's silent admiration goes unnoticed.
"i mean, you know me! i'm gonna insist anyway, so…" he reaches your captivity, bringing you jollification.
"i'll rate you as a personal tour guide. now, go there!" jesting each other, you both exchange exaggerated reverences, like a challenge of who makes the most chaotic one.
────
walking around the area, various subjects are explored, informations entrusted. you ask and are updated about his ethereal younger sister.
portraits of the generations are framed. you magnifies his presence in celebratory pictures, dedicated to find him in the memories and achievements on that wall. pride shines from you and the hungarian finds it lovely.
"you know i'm a sucker for accents… they're much more than mere verbal characteristics, they're stories: life experiences, marks and scars. identities and cultural integrations." the topic is random. through generalized opinions, you're explaining conceptions and dominik is retaining mental observations. he exalts every scrap of your identity, like a faithful worshiper.
"basically, you're admitting being enchanted by my accent. i can see the stars in your eyes. a win is a win!" szoboszlai and his frequent attribute to physical touch, tickling your ears and playing with them. it doesn't bother you, actually: adoring the affection exuded by you and him. you feel like a little girl dealing with your one and only love.
"it's beautiful, how can you blame me? and hey, i know mine's making you grin too." he holds your arm, shivers running down your spine, the two of you being euphoric in the midst of your own enthusiasm.
"putting me against the wall? okay, hum… what were you saying before?" he's changing the subject and you have a natural wit to boo him. lifting his shoulders as a surrender, the hungarian focuses on the specific loose strands of his simple bracelet, which you get used to help him tie it again, willingly.
"trying to avoid the truth? fine! let me take care of you while i talk about my admiration towards globalization and communication. like, with every fiber of me…" you accept the conversation's direction and utter a 'voilà' towards the accessory's new appearance.
"that's why you're the best person i've ever seen doing this job." dominik compliments you, an act full of honesty.
"thanks a lot, mate. but which job? as your bracelet helper or my real one?" you provide tenderness, looking amused.
"i mean… both of them." szoboszlai chuckles, revealing courtesy by your continuous helpfulness.
"literally? because i know you know a lot of people. you're so young and already is the national team's captain." you nudge him in a form of tease. he's a starboy, it's undeniable.
"flattered! literally, thought. you were born for this, believe me." vulnerability collides to you, as his words are deliberated: emotions embracing you and warming your insides.
"dominik szoboszlai, my dear friend, you're gonna make me cry, right here. i'm sorry, i need to do it…"
innocent satisfaction builds strength over you and executes unthought-of approach to the tangibility of your gratitude — his colony enrapturing your sensitive olfaction — in the most out-of-control way. the sounds reach your hearing: a choir of angels singing hallelujah. he reciprocates the contact, laughing at your juvenile excitement. joining him and doing the same thing, harmonizing the triumph. in the separation of the touch, you both remain close to each other and the hungarian doesn't miss the opportunity to feel the softness of your side face, caressing the skin. appreciation and satisfaction invade your structure, delighting on the palm of his hand.
"just a dear friend? why are we pretending all this time?" dominik's reading you. the intimidation at the sight of him overhanging you is paralyzing. you don't usually back down, but in that instant — superior than your most repressed desires — your gasps are escaped.
"who is putting who against the wall now?" insisting and failing on your witty answers, shyness and uncertainty corrodes you.
"please, look at me! i'm not kidding anymore." his voice is questioning, intrigued — contradictorily vulnerable and calm — your rationality being fragmented, fragile.
"you know i'm not the kind of woman you're surrounding by, domi. i'm not an influencer, bikini model. i'm not a public figure. i don't live for the cameras and gossip platforms. i live to work hard. i didn't achieve any of this with some type of perk. my routine and your routine are based on traveling..." who could deny it? szoboszlai's always been all that you see. it's much more than a mere passion. your attraction to him is magnetic, intense, vivid. consequently, terrifying.
"i'm just asking for a chance, (your nickname). i don't lie when i say i've never met someone like you. i may be surrounded by a crowd and you'll still be the one to steal my attention, because nobody compares to you."
your eyelids are closed and the exhalation of his sigh penetrates your lungs with the numbing breath of life you've never experienced before. it's happening: the rare situation where thinking carefully about the pros and cons is unworthy, dumbness. your decision is made and the privilege's resolution unify your lips. the beginning demonstrates slowness and patience — the intensification through the concluded wait of the longed-for reality, transforming light and magical kisses into open mouths discovering each other and witnessing the endearment that both offer — hairs, necks, shoulders and waists captured.
"you're the first to create a meaningful presence in my mind and heart. i want you to be the last one too. i love you, kincs (my treasure). i'm finally brave enough to demonstrate it with no fears." dominik's forearm covers your upper torso. your back against his chest, noses resting on each others. rejoicing at the miraculous, incomparable circumstance.
"i love you, drágám (my precious). you're finally mine and it was so fucking worth waiting." his whisper: the living proof of celestial existence.
"how blessed we are…" intertwined bodies, coalesced essences. solitary melodies turning into the sweetest and most complete symphony.

It feels less like you want to address a real life problem to characters, but more like you want to have another of your characters you constantly baby and want others to fangirl over.
TW: Rape, SA, Racism, Stereotyping, Homophobia, Acephobia, Arophobia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The representations of topics in media DOES affect real people.
Fiction can affect reality.
Let's start easy, Jaws. This goes back to Hazbin I promise.
"Since the release of Jaws in 1975, the world has witnessed a staggering decline of 71% in shark and ray populations, and around 100 million sharks are killed each year." (including multiple practices of mass hunting sharks in competition)
Both Steven Spielberg and the original writer Peter Benchley regret the movie and book. It's a big reason of the shark treatment, when it started by old fishermen worrying about shark biting people in the beaches they made money of.
Even if you aren't a shark killer yourself, a lot of things you believe of sharks are untrue myths that come from making sharks "evil" human killer animals. Sharks cannot smell blood from miles away, that's not even how water works, the particles of blood need to enter their nostrils. Sharks are not man eaters, they attack other prey animals before human. Shark attacks are extremely rare, even if they happen they are not justifiable to kill all sharks.
Tumblr media
Sharks actually have personalities they can fit in, they are smart and recognize people and boats- and form positive relationships with people. They can even like getting pet by people.
youtube
youtube
Other level to represent other thing sin media that affects reality we can address Queer, representation as a topic.
I hope it is not a surprise for you... possible non-straight, non-cis person reading this. That the constant representation of gay man as kid predator is a problem. They used old commercial (PSA) to spread negative views of gay man. Media is used to spread messages and affect its viewer. This is, there are cartoons created by Jehovah witness (or similar religions) to spread their beliefs and teach to their children in an easy, digestible way.
Same with the amount of straight woman that went off to read shitty yaoi manga and fetishy gay wattpad stories, and went to sexualize and diminish queer men. Constantly making gay man's personality into bottom or top (uke and seme shit). I witness this irl, others have too.
Same with shitty men that view Lesbians as a porn machine for men, cause "monkey brain like woman, lesbian = two women". Which happens in general and adult media. All of these are EASY examples.
Another one which turns out many people don't think about. Having your representation of an AroAce character (on purpose or not) be the psychopath with no feelings. Associating the not being romantically or sexually to means you have no heart, to be abnormal, by then a psychopath. An abuse or serial killer.
Fiction does affect reality-
A racist film, 'Birth of the nation' Revived the KKK and let to all the discrimination, and the homicide of black people of centuries ahead.
youtube
-
Coming back around, how you treat the topic of SA, and r-pe- affects the real world. You would think someone who wrote that, had in mind on how that affects people in real life. Didn't you want to represent victims of SA/R-pe that are sex workers and male?
Reducing the r-pist, pimp, trafficker character to an air head to treat as silly is crazy to do. Specially as... oh idk... the creator? Both this and the tweet of the voice actor calling Val "Bubbles Coded" is so crazy. The character is also not deep enough by itself, it's pretty much Stupid and a R-pist sex trafficker. The tweet below Viv's fucking kills me too.
The fact Val is shown to be air head stupid doesn't delete he backed Angel (and by being a sex trafficker and a pimp, and him licking charlie that means he has multiple victims) into a corner and under his control. Too then abuse of him in many different ways. Manipulations are not only done by Super mastermind people, and representing it in such way diminished, affects people who have being manipulated and actually try to question if they have being or not. Manipulators can be normal, average people, they usually are not obvious. Even if Val is openly a shitty person that's really obvious, it doesn't detract from him being manipulative to people. The scene where Val threatens him in chains that is manipulation, his text messages are manipulation (even if you think it is too obvious to be successful).
Tumblr media
How you represent SA/R-PE, and its perpetrators, do affect real life.
Going around and having your "serious R-pe episode", to then go in other episodes or the other series you are writing to make r-pe/sa jokes is terrible. For the person that directed the whole scene of poison to NOT be r-pe/sa victim (said by themselves) with a r-pe fetish with this character's in specific, to directed in the most graphic way possible is awful. To go around babying your r-pist character is crazy.
youtube
Hope you understand that this doesn't mean not treating any topic at all. Creators should be awere on how they treat topics and the scenarios they create with them, too. People and viewers need to also put their brain to understand the media they consume. But you can't always put all blame only on the viewers of a series, if media is messy is a fault of the media. You can criticize both.
You need to acknowledge Valentino is indeed a terrible person, You don't need to delete his actions or the weight of them.
I also just know that a lot of Val fans just like him to draw him in r-pe art and get their fetishized gay ship. Cause that's what they are into. You won't even do that with a woman, because you are into your fucked up fetishized gay porn from wattpad you never left behind.
If you like him, FUCK IT, just please take his abuse seriously. Don't default your entire usage, and view of the character to be 'uwufied' fandom stuff, please.
I hate how the topic has being treated, in and out of the show. I'm a victim, and I'm hurt by how these things are treated and knowing how it affects others. Even in things I haven't watched! Don't make the argument don't like it? Just don't watch it. The movies from the video of SA of men being a joke, many I haven't watch- that still affects over all. It's still a problem and it's disheartening.
Also have this:

if you are hearing this message, then Site-19 has fallen. Protocol Epsilon-Cooper-17 has been disrupted.
But hope is not lost. Containment procedures have been updated:
All instances of a human being referencing popular media associated with geek culture and popular science are to be treated with suspicion. Any usage of the word "bazinga" is to result in immediate termination of the effected individual and isolation of all individuals in earshot within a chamber lined with telekill alloy & Scranton reality anchors for no fewer than thirty (30) years.
Zealous application of these procedures will ensure the continued existence of humanity.
If you witness anyone abruptly speaking in the voice of actor Jim Parsons, declaring "We've been renewed for another season! Oh, I'm so excited!" and clawing at their skin, immediate incineration of the effected individual is required.
No effected individuals are to be allowed within 320 km of Yellowstone National Park.

Jonathan Groff, T. Oliver Reid, Brooke Shields Among 8 Industry Members Joining Broadway Cares Board of Trustees
During the October 10 meeting, the Board lovingly acknowledged the contributions of late trustees Chita Rivera and Gavin Creel.
The Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Board of Trustees voted unanimously October 10 to add eight industry leaders, all with a shared commitment to the lifesaving impact of Broadway Cares.
Joining the board: Kristin Caskey, executive vice president, content and creative at Ambassador Theatre Group; production stage manager Julie DeVore; Tony-winning actor Jonathan Groff; Jason Laks, interim president and general counsel at The Broadway League; production stage manager Johnny Milani; Erik Piecuch, senior vice president, entertainment banking at City National Bank; actor and Black Theatre Coalition co-founder T.

In the original series, Mikado was voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue, who is also the JP dub voice of PRince Eric from the Little Mermaid, and Scorpion in Mortal Kombat 2021. In the new series, he's Mamoru Miyano, who is Light Yagami, Gamma 2 in Dragonball, Willy Wonka, and Riku from Kingdom Hearts. Original ENG is Ian James Corlett, Who was Saban's original actor for Goku, and Cheetor. New ENG is Marin Miller, who doesn't have any roles I think you'd recognize
There's something sincerely twisted in a fun way about Mikado being a Disney Prince. Shame we couldn't get Snow White's.
Light Yagami also fits in a weird way. Not because he and Light have much in common, but because he's kind of the archetype that Light occupies. Light was designed to be shocking because he's an academically successful pretty boy from a well-off family, and not what you generally associate with "serial killer".
Uh.
At the time, and in Japan. Light's based on a doomsday cult that emerged in Japan in the early 90's, which grew its following from college-educated young men. The cult shocked the nation by turning the "elite" young men of society with silver spoons and bright futures into violent cultists and terrorists, ultimately culminating in the sarin gas subway attack of 1995.
(I sometimes wonder if Ultimate Despair was based on the same cult.)
Mikado is basically what Light "should have been" with his wealth, prestige, academic excellence, and status. Rather than a cult leader and serial murderer.

We, the undersigned, come together as creatives and artists, recognising the immense power held within each voice, especially those often underrepresented in our society. 
Art and creativity shapes and reflects the diverse experiences of our communities. It’s vital that politics does too, and that everyone’s voice is heard in our democracy. 
But in Britain today, as many as 8 million people are not registered to vote at their current address. Turnout of younger voters has been falling considerably.  New rules requiring photo ID risk excluding hundreds of thousands of citizens, and disproportionately affecting poorer people, those with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds.
We, the undersigned, stand united in our belief that participation in elections is not just a right, but a profound responsibility—one that should extend to everyone, at the heart of a vibrant democracy. 
That is why we urge you to join us in registering to vote for the upcoming local elections before the deadline of 23:59 on Tuesday 16 April, at https://qrco.de/giveanx. Remember, you are also eligible to register if you are a qualifying EU or Commonwealth citizen. 
We join hands with the young people leading the Give an X campaign in emphasising the importance of young people shaping the future, and we urge each and every citizen to claim their seat at the table.
Voting is not just casting a ballot; it is narrating the stories of our communities and painting a vision of a better tomorrow. In the face of huge challenges nationally and globally, that has never been more important.
Let’s all of us write the next chapter together. We Give an X – will you?

THE COURAGE TO BE UNPOPULAR
You may know that I’ve created a bit of a sh*tstorm in voiceoverland last week, by calling out Carin Gilfry, the VP of the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA), for something she said about Fiverr at a panel during VO Atlanta. After my video, Carin clarified that she had not been speaking on behalf of NAVA, and that she thinks Fiverr is “problematic in many ways.” As the storm was raging,…

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Agent Bennet
James Bennet, Sr. was a dedicated and relentless agent of the National Security Association. He was assigned to track down and destroy the rogue android known as Zeta.  This Zeta had previously been an asset of the NSA yet the android developed sentience and refused orders to assassinate a target the android believed to be innocent.  
Zeta’s refusal to obey orders left Bennet convinced the android had fallen into the hands of a terrorist cell and been reprogrammed.  Seeing Zeta as a clear and present danger to national interests, Bennet would stop at nothing to hunt down and terminate Zeta.  
In the course of his pursuit, Bennet discovered that a young woman named Ro Rowan was assisting Zeta.  Convinced that Ro was also a terrorist, Bennet ordered her apprehended with extreme prejudice.   Throughout Zeta and Ro’s many adventures, Bennet remained just a few steps behind and they were constantly narrowing escaping capture by the ruthless agent.  
Eventually, Agent Bennet came to discover that Zeta had not indeed been reprogramed; rather his refusal to obey orders had been the result of his cultivating a sense of consciousness.  The evidence of this was destroyed in an explosion and Bennet remained the sole individual who could exonerate Zeta and halt the search and destroy order on the android and his accomplice.  What Bennet ultimately chose to do with this knowledge remains to be told.  
Actor Kirkwood Smith provided the voice for Agent Bennet with the persistent pursuer first appearing in the series premiere of The Zeta Project.

Breakdown of The Issues at Play (Video) * After having spoken to NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors) there will be an update, this post will be updated when it is available.

My mod will never be pay-gated, and everyone will receive the same version of the work at the same time once it's released. You can support my creative endeavours via the link above to my Ko-Fi, but it isn't necessary.

Fredi Washington - The Dark Duse of Hollywood
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fredericka "Fredi" Washington (born on December 23, 1903 in Savannah, Georgia) was an American actress who refused to live by racial stereotypes. She is one of the first Black Americans to gain recognition for her work on film and on the stage, earning her the nickname of "The Dark Duse of Hollywood."
The daughter of parents who were both of mixed African and European ancestry, Washington had green eyes and light skin that belied the era’s common expectations of what an African-American “looked like.” She moved to Harlem along with her family during the Great Migration.
Washington's entertainment career began in 1921 as a chorus girl on Broadway. She was hired by dancer Josephine Baker as a member of a cabaret group. She quickly became a popular, featured dancer, and toured internationally.
Washington turned to acting and moved to Hollywood in 1928. She made her movie debut the year after. Her best-known movie roles were in Imitation of Life (1934) and One Mile from Heaven (1937); both films were social commentaries of the era's views on race.
Despite receiving critical acclaim for her performance, studio heads had no idea what to do with a biracial woman. Considered too beautiful to play servant roles (the only mainstream opportunities for Black actresses in the 1930s) and since the film production code prohibited suggestions of miscegenation, she wore dark, heavy makeup in race films.
After turning down several roles requiring her to pass for White, she quit movies, moving back to New York City. Her experiences in the film industry and theater led her to become a civil rights activist and a writer. Washington died, aged 90, from pneumonia following a series of strokes while living in Stamford.
Legacy:
Co-founded the Negro Actors Guild of America in 1936 and served as its first executive secretary
Served in the American Women's Voluntary Service during World War II
Actively involved with and lobbied for social activist groups, such as the Cultural Division of the National Negro Congress, the Committee for the Negro in the Arts, the Actors' Equity Committee on Hotel Accommodations for Negro Actors throughout the United States, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1937
Served as the entertainment editor for The People's Voice from 1943 to 1948
Gifted a collection of her personal papers to the Connecticut Historical Society in 1958, the Amistad Research Center in Tulane University in 1975 and 1979, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at The New York Public Library in 1982
Inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1975
Received the CIRCA Award for lifetime achievement from the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1979
Received an award from the Audience Development Company (AUDELCO), a New York-based nonprofit group devoted to preserving and promoting African-American theater, in 1981
