🚨 The person who reportedly self-immolated outside the zionist consulate in Boston in 9/11 has surfaced in this Youtube video under the name Matt Nelson. He states, “My name is Matt Nelson and I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza” and calls people to action to stop the US-zionist genocide.

This is the 5th self-immolation in the US in the past year (ATL, DC, NYC, Oklahoma, Boston). This action is already being ignored and depoliticized by mainstream media.

THIS IS WHAT OUR RULING CLASS HAS DECIDED WILL BE NORMAL. (Aaron Bushnell)

screaming, crying, perfect storms - ryan leonard ☆

wc: 1.3k

tw: angst. new beginnings. depression. yelling?

ryan leonard x oc

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

frankie was doing good, cool, and fine. everything was just fine, and that little 'just' was enough to make everything not fine for the youngest hughes.

the girl felt stuck in a never-ending loop and she had no idea how to get out of it.

she had recently come to the realization that everyone she knew was making progress with their lives. they were either already doing what they loved or were working for it.

while she stood and watched, stuck. she didn't know what she loved; it's not like you can sleep in your boyfriend's arms for a living, right?

the poor girl was just bored with her life. sure, she had friends and a boyfriend and had finally managed to pass her classes, but at the end of the day, that's all she had.

she needed a change and she needed it fast.

frankie and summer were currently walking through the streets of nyc. frankie had fallen into a depression and summer being her best friend had decided to take her on a shopping spree in hopes to uplift the girls poor mood.

they had been playing around in one of the dressing rooms when a tall beautiful woman approached them.

"hi, I've been watching you two for the last twenty minutes, and you guys are gorgeous. my name is eloise simons, and I'm with IMG Models. I think you two would be perfect for this new summer collection; I'm going to give you two my card and you guys can go ahead and give me a call if you want to set a meeting up," the lady said, handing them a card that looked pretty legit.

the two girls looked at eloise speechless, not knowing whether or not she was joking.

"i know this is very out of the blue but I have a vision and a good feeling about you two and I just need to act on it" she said with a smile.

"thank you. we'll have to talk it over, though," summer said as frankie had seemed to go mute. the lady let out a smile.

"that's better than a 'no'. please, if you even have any questions or concerns, just give me a call." she said before bidding the girls goodbye as the best friends eyed each other with a wild look.

"if this is a prank, it's really mean," frankie said, breaking the silence.

"it's not," summer said, looking the number up and it, in fact, being real.

"oh my gosh, what are we going to do," frankie said as summer smirked.

"we have three months off" she cheekily smiled

"are you saying what i think you're saying?" frankie said

"a new york summer?" summer said excitedly as they both jumped up, squealing.

___

frankie walked into her apartment with about twenty bags to find ryan, will, gabe, jacob, drew, and aram sitting around her living room. playing video games.

"what the hell," she said, eying the boys as ryan stood up and helped her with her bags.

"you said i could invite the guys," ryan said with a smile

"I know, but it never sounds like a lot till I see them," she said as they all waved at the girl.

"wait, is summer back, too?" gabe asked as frankie nodded. the boy quickly stood up and bid goodbye to his friends before walking across the hall to his situationship.

"we're gonna head out too," will said, standing up, eyeing the rest of the boys who didn't move.

"i'm comfy" drew whined

"forts," will say with a glare as he huffed and stood up along with jacob and aram. the boys gave frankie a hug and bid ryan a goodbye before walking out.

"how was your day" ryan said as he put his girlfriends bags down.

"amazing! you won't believe what happened," she smiled, thinking about eloise.

"what happened? what did you even buy?" he asked nosily as he looked in some of the bags.

"a whole bunch of cute outfits. I bought you some things, too," she said as she pulled out some items in the bag for him.

"this is sick" he said as he eyed them. frankie smiled as he tried it on for her, watching him. she smirked before pushing him down onto the bed and straddling him.

"you look so handsome," she said, kissing his neck as he squeezed her sides.

"you're in a good mood," he smiled, looking at his girlfriend. he had been really worried about the mood his girlfriend had been in these last few weeks. she was either always mad or sad nowadays, and it made him happy to see her so happy.

"yup. I got a job today," she told him as ryan eyed her warily. don't get him wrong, he loved her but she was lazy. he thought hell would freeze over before she ever got a job, a job in new york as that.

"a job?" he said confused

"yeah, it's for the summer but if I like it I might end up doing it forever-"

"what kind of job is it?" he asked warily, seeing as she was tiptoeing around the fact of what the actual job was.

"modeling," she said as she squealed.

"you want to be a model?" he asked confused.

"well, I don't know yet. summer and I got scouted today and we want to give it a try. but if I like it I'm going to keep doing it" she explained

"what about college?" he asked. he was excited for her, really, but he was afraid she was being irrational. a thing he learned about his girlfriend is that she did things without putting much thought into them.

"well, I haven't thought that far, but I'll drop out if it comes to it," she said as ryan raised his eyebrows.

"why are you looking at me like that" she asked with a frown. she was honestly getting annoyed with how ryan was taking this. she was so excited and his reaction was honestly ruining her own.

"this is a big decision, frankie. I don't think you're thinking it all the way through-"

"i am thinking it through. that's why i'm only trying it-"

"you just said you're gonna drop out"

"I said if it came to it," she said, getting off his lap. she didn't like the way he was acting.

"i just think you're not thinking it through-"

"stop saying that! i'm not some naive little girl!" she said, getting frustrated and raising her voice.

"don't yell at me," he said in a serious tone that irked the girl to her core.

"I'll yell if I want." the stubborn girl stood her ground.

"i just want you to think about what you're doing-"

"I'm not some dumb kid, ryan!" she said taking the bags off her bed.

"well, you're acting like one," he said below his breath, but the youngest hughes had heard it, and it shattered her feelings. he knew one of her biggest insecurities, and he decided to gut her with it.

"get out," she said shaking her head with watery eyes

once ryan saw those sad eyes, he knew he screwed up.

"babe-"

"please just go. we'll talk tomorrow," she said, sniffling as he came to wrap his arms around her.

"I didn't mean that, I'm sorry," he said in her hair.

"i know. I just want to be alone, please," she said, pulling away.

ryan eyed the girl, his girl, wanting nothing more than to beg for forgiveness on his knees all night, but knew he screwed up and she needed her space. he nodded before kissing her cheek and walking out.

leaving frankie to sit, cry, and drown in her thoughts. more sure than ever that she was going to go through with this.

if papercut met in college i wonder what soda and darrys first reactions to curly would be (in this au curly wouldnt have grown up in tulsa) soooo hcs for that?

lets say curly was grew up in nyc cause im still rockin w my shepards lore here and many haitians moved to nyc and i will add as many self projections onto these characters as i can, i promise u that much

•ok look I KNOOOWWWW i made a post on what i think all the shepards could get a degree in AND IT TOOK A WHILE TO FIND IT BUT I DID ITS RIGHT HERE IF U WANNA SEE, id def fix some of these a bit but whatever, immmm gonna go w curly as an engineering degree kinda guy

•soda and darry def have way bigger respect for curly, MOSTLY bc they dont know how curly rlly acts and havent grown up w him, but also bc hes acheiving something darry and soda themselves cant, getting a college diploma

•SUPER rare soda and darry papercut shippers perchance??? its not 100% there, but everytime pony comes home they ask about “that boy mate of urs”

•but thats only for the first year of college, the rest of em??? we r getting back into the good ole curtis family and curly dynamic, bc pony tells them stories about what curlys done, plus they can hear curly in the background when their calling pony

•theyve talked to him before too!!!they dint get what hes on about half the time, but hes not THEE worst person theyve ever talked to, they like talking about where curly grew up, his stories r a lil fucked up but they like hearing a different pov!!!

•pony always sends pics home so darry and soda arent too surprised seeing pony grow and its curly who hels take em!! pony feels bad just having him take it thi so chances r they WILL see curly there too and curlys just on the curtis fridge

•thats actually how soda and darry kept catching on that they had a thing for each other, bc the way they were looking and touching each other in those photos??? darry knows that look,,,,,

•curly got bonus points for being pretty family oriented (especially from soda for being the middle child, ts aint easy)

•dare i say,,,,they finally see curly as somewhat as a good influence,,,,its about timmeee🙄🙄🙄, pony mentions how curly makes pony get to class, pony doesnt mention the times curly pulls pony away from his studies however and he never will

•i promise if curly was in college for entomology, theyd thing hes so odd for that, but they cant say much about it bc at the end if the day, hes doin things they aint, BUTTT bc here hes getting an engineering degree, soda (especially again) will ask him a lot if questions about it and how pony tends to surround himself w ppl who build/fix things, they all tease pony for that

Angela Mangini Jones: They say never meet your idols, but for my Goosie girl it was an amazing experience. We went to see a wonderful show in NYC called Maybe Happy Ending and she chose it because Darren Criss from Glee was in it. She loves him. After, we waited at the stage door and he came out and gave a little speech saying he was going to sign playbills and to freely take videos, but they’re really really wasn’t time to do selfies with everybody. He was amazing to Zoë and took her phone and videotaped them together. I told him it was her first musical. She chose it because of him and he was so cool and gracious. He is a class act. Love him even more than we did from Glee. Go see this amazing show and these amazing actors. They are so talented and kind. Thank you for making her first musical on Broadway a success. She says it was the best day of her life. It was as magical as the show. #maybehappyending #Darrencriss

Venus and Mars

I'm making another album analysis because Paul Mccartney is a devious vagrant, and no one else will count his sins.

You can check out the one I did on McCartney II here

Side One

Venus and Mars – Very much a blend of old and new musically, Venus and Mars are alright for now

Rock Show – He looks like a guy you knew way back when??Madison Square and long hair? alright buddy

Love in Song – You notice a lot of wanting, yearning, looking at the past here, The Homeland, remembrance, the love that once was there

You Gave Me the Answer – As it live here, this is a Linda song, however, it's structure, it's themes, it seems to suggest it would have been a John song, if given the chance, remembrance, also Granny Music lmao

Magneto and Titanium Man – Who among us will be strong enough to make Paul McCartney's marvel oc real?

Letting Go – This song is super John coded, it sounds like Beef Jerky, along with that we also get the mention of divinity, and Mother Nature

Side two

Venus and Mars (Reprise) – Wanting to go away on a trip, Running into a good friend

Spirits of Ancient Egypt – Okay we start with Baby and Love, making it seem pretty classicly Linda core, however! longing and yearning, spirits and the past coming over the phone? and "I know", okay pal

Medicine Jar – drugs!!! <3

Call Me Back Again – Certified mclennon classic, we all know it, we all love it, if you pair it with Tell Me What You See and I've Just Seen A Face you'll be sobbing for an hour

Listen to What the Man Said – We are right out of the gate with New Orleans mention, that classes this immediately as mclennon, ♥ love ♥, the ending is very late beatles

Treat Her Gently – Lonely Old People – A sweet song, also some yeahs in there, pretty Linda Coded as all things go, but could be a little mclennon-y if you want it

Crossroads – A nice outro and way out, Venus and Mars have met at the crossroads, but crossroads are meant for passing

I'd say overall, the original Venus and Mars is a very mclennon coded album, there are elements in the songs that you can feel were for John, and also just some great music, it's definitely really good.

Now let's move on to the other additional tracks!

Junior's Farm – Time to seek inner peace by going to a farm in the middle of nowhere and also kill Richard Nixon!!!

Sally G – But going to a farm to seek inner peace reminds us of the past! Like what caused you to come to the farm the first time! Big Gay Divorce reference!!!

Walking in the Park with Eloise – Something nice for his dad :)

Bridge on the River Suite – B-side to Eloise, a nice instrumental, a little melancholic

My Carnival – carnival? like carnival of light!!! No, but it's nice to see him get to act ringmaster, if you wanted you could spin this to be about The Big Gay Divorce

Going To New Orleans (My Carnival) – This being right before Hey Diddle is just sad, like dude, you are not going to see the girl, her ass is back in NYC

Hey Diddle – I wonder who he could possibly be yearning for in this, who in the world could Linda be reassuring him that "next time around she will be here"

Let's Love – The piano, the style, this for sure was going to be a John song, the asking to spend this brief time together, the references to phones, oh my god, the ending notes sound like Dear Friend

Soily – Fun, whimsical, no value to the fag theory, but fun nonetheless

Baby Face – More whimsy and fun, Granny once more

Lunch Box/Odd Sox – the b-side to Coming Up, so, gay by proxy, not as much whimsy, more so melancholy

4th of July – bro... "you came in with him again/and suddenly, I knew it wasn't my day" what the hell

All in all, it's really gay, it's gayer than McCartney II could dream to be, it holds more weight because it's the sessions where John was supposed to be there, but couldn't, and that is reflected in most of the songs.

[things-stankyle-probably-said]

I meant to post this earlier but I was busy watching 3 nfl games in a row, oh well!

south park YA au thanksgiving idea (please reblog if you read the whole thing and please give feedback tell me what you thought, thank you)

stan isn't expecting much for thanksgiving, watch the games, eat some turkey, avoid his parents passive aggressive arguing as much as he can for the days leading up to it. then he gets a call from kyle asking if he'd like to join him and his family for thanksgiving this year But!! they're flying business class to connecticut because kyle's mom's sister aka the mother to kyle shwartz, wants them to come visit so they'll be staying in a mansion for 5 days

but kyle needs an answer now because his dad said they have 3 extra tickets if he and ike want to bring anyone on the trip and kyle picked stan, and they're leaving tomorrow on tuesday and coming back next sunday. stan thinks for a second but makes up his mind to say yes when he overhears his mom telling his dad the family is not wasting thanksgiving working on the weed farm selling "thanksgiving tegridy special weed" that smells like turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. stan immediately tells kyle he'll be at his house ready to go to the airport first thing in the morning

after he hangs up kyle realizes if ike invites two friends, then he and stan will technically be "alone" on this trip since they're sharing seats on the plane and might share a room, they're not dating yet but the idea of their friendship getting a romance boost over the holidays when they just started their first year at college and are home for the holidays kinda freaks kyle out so he hastily calls kenny to invite him on the trip too as a buffer to make it more of a friends trip, however ike overhears kyle invite kenny right after inviting stan and he gets mad because he wanted to invite two friends from his minecraft team

but kyle convinces ike if kenny goes on the trip, he'll ask if he can bring karen, and kyle knows ike has been trying to tell karen mccormick how he feels about her for weeks with no luck, and maybe a change of scenery would help. ike calms down but then starts yelling at the phone to encourage kenny to say yes to kyle's invitation which he does, and of course asks if he can bring karen along, as they're both back in south park after living in nyc with kenny attending nyu and karen doing acting parts in off broadway shows and neither of them really want to spend thanksgiving at home while their parents argue over whether one can of green beans is enough for 5 people while kevin tries to pick up a thanksgiving shift at the autoshop to avoid being home like his siblings

after he gets off the phone kyle gets an incoming call from cartman. cartman asks if he should come over on thursday morning or afternoon to get a plate of thanksgiving food from kyle's family so he has something to eat on the way to his relatives in nebraska since he and his mom will be doing their annual road trip to have dinner there and spend a week visiting his aunts, uncles, and cousins. and kyle, annoyed that cartman would be so entitled to think he'd be invited to any part of his family's thanksgiving plans lies and tells him "jews don't celebrate thanksgiving"

thinking that's the end of that, kyle texts stan and kenny not to tell cartman about their plans, and they agree, the next day stan shows up to the broflovskis in the morning to go to the airport with them and is surprised that kenny and karen are also going on this trip but honestly doesn't think too hard about it, he's just happy to get a free trip and to be able to spend time with kyle and maybe when they're in connecticut at the mansion he'll find the right moment to ask kyle out

at the airport as they're taking an escalator down to their boarding gate, they see cartman and his mom going up the adjacent escalator to the boarding gate for the plane heading to nebraska, and while kenny, stan, and kyle try to pretend like they're not at the same airport, unfortunately cartman does notice his friends, and puts two and two together that kyle lied and everyone is going on a friends thanksgiving vacation except him, and it's basically a recreation of this meme with cartman in emily gilmore's place

Unveiling the Inner Life: The Enduring Legacy of Constantin Stanislavski

Constantin Stanislavski, a name synonymous with transformative acting, wasn’t always a champion of emotional realism. In fact, his journey to creating the renowned Stanislavski technique began with frustration. Disillusioned by the theatricality of his time, Stanislavski sought a deeper truth in performance. This quest led him to develop a revolutionary approach that continues to influence actors…

I do hc that there are human governments who know about the Anne Rice vampires; minimally I think they're known by the Five Eyes. And perhaps the Talamasca has dipped their toes into communicating with them or acting as an intermediary, but I don't think it's even necessary! As long as each vampire eats even about one person a day (and the ancient ones don't even seem to stick to their own backyard to hunt necessarily), the benefit of wiping out vampires due to the very likely cost or difficulty means honestly it's PROBABLY correct to leave them alone, on the brute math of it. I do think there are plans in place though that would have been executed on if, for example, Akasha's rampage had gone on and were probably gearing up.

But if you know that vampires can telepathically communicate, they're immune to most damage, they can hyponotize people, they're pyrokinetic, they can move super fast, and there are at times around 100... okay, that's 100 people a day, but that's globally. And if they cover their tracks even the slightest, it's pretty unlikely vampirism would ever be suspected. Weird medical events occur all the time, sucides occur regularly.

But say you go to war with vampires--certainly no individual decision-maker there is safe. If the UK orders a vampire strike, the PM can't really be protected individually. But vampires are very unlikely to kill a pope or a PM or whatever; they don't seek to be noticed. How many lives, and which, do you lose in a war with them, even if you win?

Like Rhoshamandes ponders killing half of humankind, but honestly the only way vampires get there is setting off a nuclear war, and sure, perhaps they could, but do they really want to? they seem pretty comfortable with things as they are. But certainly if they were ever about to lose an existential war, why not spellbind whoever is necessary at the missile silo to get those things in the air?

Certainly one or two vampires could easily overwhelm the crew of an Ohio-class submarine and set off a nuclear bomb solely aimed at say, Ft. Lauderdale, and then perhaps even hit a city we'd miss. But the amount of deaths even from a single act like that would really eclipse what they're doing to feed, which again, is not great, but not really moving the needle anywhere.

Also, for serial killers they are clearly an asset to local economies. Frankly, there are probably efforts to make vampires more comfortable; as long as Armand is comfortable in NYC, you know his business interests will reflect an inflow to the State of New York; he does canonically pay his taxes. Meanwhile, Maharet in Myanmar unfortunately might have provided some of the wealth necessary for unfortunate later political action. The matter of where vampires are is of economic and political interest and can be leveraged.

What Should You Ask Casting Directors About Your Acting Career In New York?

Be prepared for the meeting if an agent of the New York City casting agencies agrees to meet with you to consider agency representation. Ultimately, it's you, the actor, who hires the agency to steer your career, locate and advocate for auditions, and negotiate contracts on your behalf after you "book."

Here are some of the most important questions to ask agents concerning your acting career.

❖ What Exactly Is a Business Plan?

Goal setting and goal planning are essential. The first inquiry is usually, "What is our business plan for our partnership?" How can we mutually assist one other in succeeding and making money? " Keep in mind that this is show business, and everything is always about money. Note how they respond to this question.

The best agents are ready to assist you and have astonishing ideas to share! An excellent agent would, of course, want to hear all of your ideas for your career and then share their thoughts with you.

Question the agency about how they aim to assist you in obtaining auditions. Verify that they will "pitch" you to casting directors through phone and e-mail.

❖ What Kinds of Positions Are You Looking For?

As with the last question, make sure you understand your casting directors in NYC and that your headshots match the parts you would be appropriate for. If you and your partner aren't on the same page, talk to your talent agent about it and try if you can agree; otherwise, you will be sent to auditions and casting calls where you'll feel entirely out of place.

It's fantastic to give as many acting auditions, but if you don't think you're the kind, it will discourage you, and you'll be disappointed that you spent your time. Avoid this by discussing the auditions with the actor's agent when you first meet.

❖ What Piques Your Interest In Me?

With hundreds of actors, how do you fit in with the agency? Inquire about your prospective agent's client list. You're unlikely to be added to an agency roster with someone who looks just like you but asks, regardless.

When two performers look very similar and are represented by the same agent, auditions can occasionally clash. You want to be the focus of your agent's attention, not your long-lost twin, even if they are a fantastic performer.

❖ How Involved Are You in the Industry?

Just because someone is a "talent agent" doesn't guarantee they are well-connected to the acting industry pros who can help you get hired. What distinguishes this agent from the hundreds of others in New York? It is critical to inquire about the agent's relationships and background, particularly with New York casting directors.

Many experienced agencies have relationships with casting directors and other industry experts, which can benefit both of you.

❖ How do you feel about me marketing myself on my submissions with your agency's name?

You'd think it would please any agent at any agency that their acting talent is attempting to further their careers, but it's not always the case. Acting agents and acting managers can be strange - they can be bossy and don't want you to put their name on stuff they don't authorize.

And, if you're new, they may strive to manage their "brand," ensuring that they are perceived in the manner they want to be seen.

Final Thoughts

These five questions can assist you to pile up information during your agency meeting. However, always ask as many questions as you need.

Prepare a few additional questions to show your new agent you're interested in them and to guarantee they'll work well with you once you join a meeting. Most crucial, trust your intuition at all times. Go with your gut instinct, whether it's good or negative.

okay more pictures I had thoughts about

Starting with these:

This handwriting is diff than how he wrote his name on that scan sheet in so I’m glad I can see his natural handwriting and not the neater one for tests and such, also the 😩 emoji he drew out I’m cryinggggg he’s so silly 😭😭😭 and I loved the little drawings he did in the book too, esp the cute version of the spider and the hearts around the bite!!! His memory is so fucking good too, to be able to remember all the details in the people he’s drawn and a spider he hasn’t seen in a long while (or a few days, idk when he actually drew this part)! Next ! :3

This one is soooo fucking funny to me. Bro can’t stand his ass he really can’t believe this is NYC’s new protector. Miles needed to get charged 50% more for embarrassing himself and by extension me bc I had to defend him here. It is a quick moment with him and Lenny (I think that’s his name?) but I like to think that they know each other, or at least have a friendly relationship for Miles to be so casual about this. If I really wanted to reach, and I do, I would say that he knows it’s Miles lol bc the voice is a dead giveaway.

THIS IS MY FAV PAIR OF PHOTOS TODAY. So I love the squinty then closed eyes, the use of his other powers besides the usual spider-man abilities, AND how he’s using them effectively but ends up indirectly causing a blackout ! Of course this isn’t the way I wanted it to go, I would prefer him being the direct cause in a scenario where maybe he takes the energy or overloads it to the point of a blackout, BUT this was funny, and it was still basically what I really hoped to see! And wasn’t this robot villain super similar to a robot toy either Miles or Ganke had in their dorm room??? can you imagine that the villains have more merch than Miles does and Ganke makes sure to remind him of that 😭😭😭 help

Now listen I think Miles would be ADORABLE. SO PRECIOUS. SO SILLY. with a few hairs actually above his lip. He swears it’s a full on mustache but it looks like he drew it on with eyeliner. Can you imagine how similar he’d look to Aaron when he laughs AND has those few hairs? He’d be ecstatic and would be showing them off to everyone he knows, he’s telling his dad that he’s a man now and can’t be grounded and that his curfew needs to be later, Rio’s probably only egging it on and Jeff is so proud but SO annoyed bc both him and spider-man, by pure coincidence, are starting to act like they’re much more mature and above anything and everybody in the way teenagers are when they reach a milestone, only to still be an anxious teenager underneath the new attitude lol. Also bug eyes :3 you know I love me them bug eyes

And I have no words for this autistic ass smile. “Didn’t know how to smile until I was 8” faceass. “Intelligent young boy but struggling to connect with peers” written on his 3rd grade report card faceass. “Doesn’t get along well with the other boys in class and opts to read instead of participating in recess or class fun” said in the PTC faceass. I don’t even care that this isn’t even his natural smile and he’s rightfully awkward looking here, to me he has been canonically stated to be some form of neurodivergent. Sword slash to the chest. And you’re on fire
