#The Tomorrow Job

[cassolotl]

USA people, please explain something to me and @averixus

Okay so, there's two stages to this exercise.

Step 1: Go and watch The Tomorrow Job (2023), and pay particular attention to a character called Martin.

Step 2: Explain in reblogs or replies or something - how does this happen? We looked up the actor and he's from the American midwest, we watched a video from his social media and he just sounds like a normal American midwesterner, nothing surprising. But in the movie he sounds like... me and Avery genuinely couldn't work out what accent he was trying to do or why. I settled on maybe Canadian-Scottish somehow, but he meandered through like, Russian and Belgian and Dutch and various other UK regions including Wales.

We have so many questions.

Do you, as an American, hear that accent and think it sounds okay and like a fairly normal accent? Where do you think he's from?

Can you recognise when a non-American accent is being done badly?

Can you recognise when a non-American is doing an American accent badly?

And some questions you may or may not know the answer to:

There was nothing about his character that meant he needed to be not-American; why not just, let him be American? (In movies in general)

Did someone decide he should do an accent? (Who decides that people in movies should have particular accents for no reason?)

Did everyone at all stages of filming listen to him and decide that was totally acceptable?

Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

Thinking about her (a show that was cancelled unjustly) again

you know what since the topic of au spoilers is on my mind, I'll share you guys this drawing I made a while ago of Sheik as a dragon that I actually really liked how it turned out. The probability of adding this idea has now leaned on the "I probably will", I'm still testing out ideas and what not. I also just enjoy drawing dragons. With a little bonus drawing of Farosh mocking Sheik

Tumblr user renonv has nothing good to present, so I leave you guys w this

November 5th first Aid Kit

I'm recently unemployed, but I only can think It's November 4 and yet, I feel unprepared for tomorrow.

there are days that it is hard, and unfair, and some horrible part of me wishes i could have been born in a different world. i love being queer, i hate how others react to it. when i first came out at 15, my mom whispered: please don't say that. your life would be so much harder.

it is harder.

it is also a tuesday, walking my dog. we are both skiving off of work, and yes both of us have dyed hair and pronouns. mine is patchy - it was my first time trying bleach; i didn't have enough. theirs is a resilient toadstool green. a little girl comes up to us and asks um, excuse me? is your hair real? 'cause jason says you're a fairy.

it is sunday brunch, all of us talking over each other, overfull on love. she is trying out a new name today, and we made her a cake with today's name scrawled in shaky purple letters. she laughs so much she cries and then gets frosting in her hair. someone young at a different table keeps giving us these large, wide eyes: the same look we have all been on the other side of. the kind that says, breathless: wait, is that possible?

it is a half-fight in a supermarket because he loves "dance moms" and says abby's tiktok is funny and meanwhile i think the children in that show should be allowed to sue abby lee miller for child abuse. i tell him that it led to the casual acceptance of child harassment for mainly adult views; and then i am standing, suddenly, in someone else's thrown soda. there's a white lady standing there, furious, saying something about hell-on-earth. i had forgotten i was wearing stuff with pride colors. and then it is this: he had just been casually arguing with me - and within an instant, he squares his shoulders and goes after her like i am his sister

on saturday i sat in a circle while beca played with my hair and we were all over 30 and we laughed about how much happier we are being this old, how much more we appreciate our community. 25 minutes from now, we will be on stage to dance in baggy beige clothing, but for now we look on with envy to the dancers in loud-and-bright buttondowns. where are they getting these shirts! i cry, distraught. everyone laughs. one of our friends has a mushroom witch hat. this would have been cringey in high school, probably. instead we are all delighted with each other; happy just to be here and alive and moving

it's that last week my new friends cried with joy for me when they heard i'm getting top surgery. every so often i have the honor of being the first person someone feels comfortable enough to tell. i'm trying to make long fluttery butterfly wings to wear to pride; but i don't know anything about fabric or dye, so my friends have been sending me their personal advice.

i think in a different poem i would talk about how sometimes you walk into a room and put the mask back on. but i'm sleepy and my whole brain is fuzzy so i think in this one, it's a monday, and my dog and i took a nap on a couch, and i had missed texts from friends. i used to wake up lonely. i think this poem is about walking into a room and seeing someone and just knowing, the way you just-know-sometimes, and then giving them that little smile, and seeing them light up with joy and relief. it is how we always seem to be able to find each other in a crowded room. how we always seem to make friends with each other before even we know-it-to-be-true. it is saying: we're very different people; but i belong to you.

it is harder, yes. but it comes with a built-in family.

Modern Au; The day before Arthur's first job, he's incredibly nervous.

Arthur: it's just, I'm a former King and you don't really have that anymore. I don't know how to work computers and I certainly don't know how to do physical work stuff!!!

Merlin: you'll be fine. You went there to check out the job and you thought it went well enough, remember?

Arthur: But what if it didn't? What if I'm a fool and they'll hate me?!?!

Merlin: then you'll quit and we find you a new job! This is your entry into society, nothing more. I earn enough to feed us both, you just need go get a foot in. And who knows? Maybe destiny will help you. You're King Arthur, after all!

Arthur: ... Ok, maybe you're right

12 hours later

Arthur: Merlin, I need your help

Merlin: what happened?

Arthur: I somehow lead a workers union and we took over the entire business. Somehow it's mine now. I didn't know the guy who owned this was the richest man in the world with his hands in all kinds of governments. What the hell do I do?!?!

Merlin:.... It was your first day!!!!!??????

For anyone looking to describe wind in fic! Beaufort Wind Scale. I found some of these descriptions amusing.

Update: Sorry this is so hard to read. I may type it out when I have a minute.

Further update: Source is The Complete Sailor by David Seidman which is really very helpful and well written!

I hate the fact that the main response to someone lamenting over a show getting cancelled is now usually met with “which one?”
