One user's list of Argentine Telenovelas on IMDb.

Not only do I recognise that one at #2, Muneca Brava, but it was actually a favourite of mine! Not that I am, or ever was, into telenovelas, but we did watch them back home. They used to be popular in my home country (and I think I can say many other of the former communist bloc) at one time in the 90s and early 2000s. Natalia Oreiro was mega popular Slovakia and Czech Republic!

The Fallen Angel is one of my favorite paintings to see adapted as fanart bc it slaps EVERY TIME but one of the biggest tragedies in my humble opinion is that most of you will never experience the phenomenal sluttery and homoeroticism of the Fallen Angel nude model painting scene in Not Me: The Series.

[cathymee]

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.

My bias coming out,

But I did enjoy I Became The Lead. Only 3 eps but I appreciate the runtime. The music was refreshing and the characters were fun.

Also this trend of using glasses to make someone appear unattractive or insignificant needs to stop. But my boy Nichika really had them on!

I'M DONE WITH EPISODE THREE AND AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Y'ALL SEB HAS RETURNED TO US :DDDD I'M SO HAPPY :DD 😭❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰!! I know he's not in every episode from here on out either but still :)). Anyway Y'ALL THE SEBLOS IS KILLING ME 😭😭😭💔💔💔. Gotta say though carlos's desperation is funny and also something I love and am very grateful for xD. But SIR WHY DID YOU DRINK THEM ALL LOL. Anyway I hated it but I LOVED their scenes they were so good <33. I still haven't stopped freaking out from all of it xD. Also Seb being confused by Carlos's outfit xD. Anyway I love them <33. I am stressed though, lol, and while I want the angst to last a whole, I also want happy Seblos, and I hope they make up soon :'((( xd <33.

GINAAAAAA girl you're slaying so hard :DD. And AWWW her and Ricky are so cute 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️. I'm glad Ricky's actually communicating this time around :')). He's learning y'all 🥰🥰. The college stressors he's dealing with suck though :(. Also SLGKDHS Ricky getting kicked out of the scene xDD. He's just too in love with Gina lol. But to be fair she absolutely slayed the house down on that 🥰. Also her and Mack possibly fake dating ರ⁠_⁠ರ. No thank you please xdd. But "like a dog?" and that whole situation is funny lol xD.

MADDOX AND JET ARE HEREEE :DDD!! I love them and I've missed them so much 🥰🥰. Also YESS our Ricky Jet bestie-ism <33. We love to see it. And AWW I'm so happy that Maddox has friends :')). She has them <333. Also she's slaying as a PA xD. Ashlyn certainly thinks so anyway 👀

Speaking of, ASHLYNN my girl :DD! HONEY YOU ARE NOT SUBTLE. And she doesn't even know either xD. Now THAT'S impressive lol. Anyway I love her <33. Even if she's a queer idiot 🥰🥰. That sounds derogative but I just mean she's oblivious xD. Also she did slay goth to be fair lol. But yeah they're idiots and I love them <33. And I'm not ready for whatever happens next lol.

KOURTNEYYYY!!! Honeyyy DD:. My girl is going through it <3. She's slaying, and apparently writing perfect recommendations, but honey :(. I'm super glad she decided to go back to therapy <33. And her asking her mom to tell her what she's really like :'D. AND HER MOM SAYING SHE'S BEEN WAITING FOR HER TO ASK 😭❤️ :'D! Wait don't talk to me <33. Lowkey I would really love a Kourtney Mr. Mazzara mentorship :'D. Pass it on from EJ 👀. Also it would've killed me if he did that to me lol but it was good advice and I'm glad she got it <33.

And speaking of!! Mr. Mazzara's back :D!! I love him 🥰🥰. Poor guy's already suffering in the Miss Jenn regard though xd. Anyway, I hope he'll end up being a good mentor/counselor (as that is his job according to this nameplate lol) to our seniors :'DD. I mean, I hope he does it, I'm sure it'll be good lol. Anyway, his scenes with Ricky and Kourtney were really sweet 🥰. And LOL "yes" to who he's worried about xD, he's honestly so correct. The most correct person I've ever seen lol. But him offering to help Miss Jenn out was sweet :'). Like a sweet moment <3.

And a final speaking of, MISS JENN!! DO NOT INVITE DANI!!! At first I thought she was thinking movie somehow but MUSICAL GIRL?? N A H. And Dani asking Ricky 😭 girl stop. Not okay. Gosh dang it it's Lily all over again D:< xd. This is boutta be rough lol. I would love to see the cast give her dirty looks if she's a jerk though lol. Anyway! Besides that Miss Jenn's slaying - she's also worried about all of them, as she should be xD, and again that scene with Mr. Mazzara was cute :')). Also her during the rehearsal scene was HILARIOUS SDLFJDHKGS XD. Her trying to move things along and Ricky and Gina are just staring into each other's eyes like 😍😍. Also, there's coming in costume to an audition and there's coming with choreography to a read through LOL xD. Anyway, slaying. Oh also, a wonderful beginning of the read through song again XD. And SLFKGHDKGS the not reporting he to the union XD.

Also Emmy is still amazing and slightly scary xDD. I love her though <33. She's so wild and also funny lol. My girl 🥰🥰 <3.

I loved this episode so much!!!! I LOVE HAVING SEB AND MR. MAZZARA BACK :DDD!!!! And everyone slayed this episode 🥰🥰. Also the music was great :D. Now that I think about it, I think we only got the one song lol? Can I Have This Dance? Well it was SO ADORABLE and also it was wonderful 🥰🥰❤️. I love them so much :D.

Alright! This episode was amazing, and I'm SO excited for the next one :).

A Work of Magic is officially up on Ao3!!!

--> https://archiveofourown.org/works/47501014/chapters/119709694 <--

I apparently have to do some editing before I post the rest, because I’ve become a lot more discerning over when to use Little Details. (Prepositional phrases, italics, emdashes, etc. I also like colons and semi-colons now, which adds Variety to the punctuation pool.)

But I’ll be updating it as I edit! It’s the low-spoons kind of editing, really. I might even do another chapter or two before I go to bed tonight...

My goal is to get it caught up with the ffdn posting within the next month, though. Preferably before the trip to NY!

bnha fandom is once again going up in flames i see 😬

i think we should all remember we are all losers on this app who would get bullied and shoved into lockers in a classic disney movie. go outside. touch grass. smell fresh air. realize that your platform on tumblr does not really translate to the real world bc no one irl would probably give a fuck about the 200k dabi soulmate au you wrote (but your tumblr friends would obvs love to read it!!!)

just… yikes. we doing okay over here bnha fandom? plus ultra and all that jazz?

[airenyah]

i completely understand the ohm obsession and i cannot thank you enough for all your insights on acting (his and also in general) too! i LOVE reading what you have to say and learning from you at the same time! watching series (i also just watched the latest 10yt ep) feels like an even more involved experience now because i can actively analyse the acting (i keep coming back to your post to see how ohm does such and such) too! thank you x1000000 and please know that i am consensually kissing your ginormous brain <3

anon, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you so much for your lovely message, it delights me greatly!!!!!!!!!! I read your ask earlier and I was sitting in my bed at the time and once I’d finished reading I kind of just fell forward, burying my head into my blanket and squealing like a little child for like a minute, that’s how happy your words made me 💕

I’m so glad to hear that I managed to explain things clearly enough that others (in this case you specifically) can get something out of it!! honestly, I’ve been so shy when it comes to talking about acting here on tumblr because I feel like I can’t express what I mean very well. And the problem is what I’ve mentioned so far really is just a quick overview, there are many concepts I definitely forgot about (obviously I don’t have a list in my head, I just notice things as I’m watching) and those that I did talk about, well, I really didn’t go into a lot of detail there, it was more of a quick summary (there is SO. MUCH. You really can’t sum up 3 years of drama school into one single tumblr post hahaha)

and also, unfortunately I can’t just go and analyze a clip second by second while you listen. I mean okay yeah, in some cases and for some specific concepts gifs will do the trick (like in my bbs ep 3 sniffing scene analysis) but with a lot of things it’s just easier when you have the entire clip with sound and all, where you can also jump back and forth and then maybe go find another example for comparison to make things a little clearer

because often a performing concept or performing technique will be easier to understand when you’ve seen someone do it “wrong”. I’m saying “wrong” here in quotation marks because I’m only putting it that way for the sake of simplicity. There isn’t really a right or wrong here, it’s usually much more about “if you perform it this way then you’ll likely have this effect on the audience, if you perform it that way then you’ll likely have that effect on the audience. Which one do you wanna achieve as an actor?” Though, one can definitely say that performing a certain way will touch the audience more or they will have an easier time following the story and the emotions compared to performing it a different way. Again, it’s a lot like food: put sugar in one recipe and it’ll taste amazing and people can’t stop eating, put sugar in another and people will refuse to eat it because it tastes so bad to them, put sugar in yet another recipe and it might be perfectly edible but would probably be a whole lot more enjoyable without the sugar

what I mean by that is: it might come to situations where I’ll be like “this actor has this aggressive undertone 90% of the time and we’re half-way through the drama and it’s starting to annoy me and make me dislike the character and the relationship” or “this actor has no thoughts behind their actions and so watching them just bores me” (yes these are real-life opinions that I’ve recently had. No I will not be revealing said dramas publicly, but if anyone reading this is curious then feel free to come into my dms and I might spill the tea)

comparing various scenes of an actors using a technique well with actors using that technique not so well really helps with learning how to analyze acting because you’ll see the different effects it’ll have on you as a viewer when someone uses a technique well vs someone who’s bad at it

I do have some “bad” examples that I could tell you about and fun fact: that even includes แค่เพื่อนครับเพื่อน BAD BUDDY SERIES (my most beloved <3). but as I’ve said before, I just don’t feel comfortable sharing the negativity publicly, because I don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings. And I don’t like getting into arguments, especially public ones, so I don’t want to get any stupid comments on my posts or in my ask box. However, if you’re curious my dearest anon, you’re very welcome to come right into my dms for some deeper discussion on that. And you don’t have to be nervous about revealing your identity, because sharing my observations with you in even more detail would definitely bring me great joy💕 (this goes for anyone reading this, btw, feel free to slide into my dms fsjksd)

in fact, I wish I could do this one acting analysis project with you that I did with my friend!! quick backstory: back in november 2021 I watched this old korean drama and I ended up getting super obsessed with it because I realized there were remakes from other countries which I then also ended up watching and comparing all these version was a suuuuper eye opening experience for me when it comes to “well used technique” vs “badly used technique” (I learned A LOT from this when in regard to acting) And then half-way through the semester something came up in the uni course my friend and I attend together and I ended up mentioning some acting concept and realized that said kdrama & remakes were a perfect example of that and I wanted to show her

And this turned into this month long project throughout november 2022, in which I selected a sequence that had the exact same plot and context in both versions and I showed them to her in several rounds and let her do the analyzing first without me telling her a thing. So the first time around she got absolutely zero info from me, she knew absolutely nothing about the plot, or the characters or anything. I turned off the subtitles as well as the sound and let take a look at ONLY the visuals. For the 2nd round the only thing she got in addition was the sound but I still didn’t tell her anything about the plot or the characters. In the 3rd round I finally told her about the plot and had her watch everything with the context in mind. And only in the final round did I turn on the subtitles. After every round we spent at least an hour discussing everything that she saw or noticed or how she felt watching it but I didn’t tell her any of my own thoughts. I wanted her to make up her own mind first and discover things for herself. It was a quite interesting project, both for me and for her! And yeah, I wish I could do this with you because I’m sure it would be eye-opening for you! (you don’t happen to live in austria, do you? 😂 well, maybe we could figure out a remote solution with screensharing or something...)

also thank you for calling my brain ginormous 🥰 i'll accept the compliment, but let me tell you, it really isn't that big yet!! i wish you could hear what my fave monologue teacher and my camera acting teacher always had to say in class!!! and also, you should really hear what my mom has to say on performing, i feel like such a baby next to her. seriously, the THINGS she SEES?????

story time (sorry i know this is super long already): we were watching the eclipse together, right, and at some point after weeks, towards the end of the series when akkayan start dating, we were just watching this episode, right? and suddenly my mom goes: *pointing at khaotung* "he seems tense, his inner balance seems off"

and i'm just sitting there like "???????? what are you talking about???? they're literally just lying down in bed, HOW can you tell???????"

she tried to explain it to me but i was just left super confused. i think it was an episode later (or maybe the same episode but some scenes later?? i don't remember) there was another scene where they were standing upright and my mom hit pause and went "here, do you see how [insert explanation]" and i was like "oh. okay yeah. yeah that makes sense. i think i know what you mean". and then during the finale (i think?) there was another moment where i even noticed something before my mom said it and then she pointed it out and i was like "yeah i caught that too!!!!"

i also showed her the only friends trailer and there's this one shot where khaotung is sitting on the bed with book, right? and my mom paused the video and went "huh? that's funny. half of his body looks tense while the other half looks completely relaxed" (half meaning left/right, not upper half and lower half). again i was just sitting there like "HOW?????? HOW DO YOU EVEN SEE THIS?????"

(admittedly, my mother works in the medical field and she's close to finishing a 2(?) year training program as a massage therapist, so i guess she'd know about tense bodies from having first hand experience hahaha)

well, i'll stop it here bc i'm sure this is already over 1000 words long again oops. if you've made it all the way down here, then i really appreciated that and give you forehead kiss (if you like that, of course. if not then i'll give you a hug or a highfive or a wave or whatever else you're comfortable with). then again, you've also read my 3.7k analysis on ohm's acting so…

[blackholelynn]

Made the decision that after I get off work this morning, I'm applying for another job that's Mon-Fri and pays more. I figure I can apply as practice with my resume and interviewing, and if they offer it to me I can cross that bridge when I get to it

Tired of feeling stuck in my circumstances and staying out of some sort of obligation...like I'm still on the fence just because I don't know if a job change would benefit me right now, but I know that I'm starting to feel like there's no way out of this job which just isn't true. Maybe just the simple act of starting a job search even if I decide in the end it's not for me will help me feel better in the position I'm in.

But I'm telling y'all if I get an offer of better wages...might say fuck it we ball and take that expeditiously because like...gurl 👀👀 I love being paid a livable amount

[weirdfishy]

i saw a scene from Anti Reset (2024) and i don’t know which episode she’s in but i saw an actress, one of Ever9’s classmates, and she’s soooo familiar to me but i can’t pin down why, and I looked on viki’s cast list and mydramalist’s cast list and they’re very limited so if anyone knows who this is/what she’s acted in, pls let me know 😭
