Rohini & Ashlesha ruling over, "The Siren Archetype"

Siren means a seductively beautiful or irresistible woman, especially one who beguiles men with a alluring voice but is also very dangerous.

I observed for the past few months of female celebrities who are considered to be "Sirens" and the two nakshatras that arose the highest in a lot of these women big 3, big 6, atmakaraka, lagnesh, or ascendant lord were Rohini and Ashlesha! In my opinion it 100% makes sense because Rohini and Ashlesha are known to be the most seductive nakshatras.

Rohini is naturally a seductive and alluring nakshatra, they have a huge amount of magnetism and irresistibility. Many perceive them to be docile and innocent which is a little true but at the same time Rohini individuals have a beguiling dark side and it's shown through fashion, makeup, and mannerisms. Their hypnotic snake-like eyes and allure will lure you in like a moth to a flame.

Ashlesha possess an tantalizing and enticing quality that's hard resist with a lot of people deeming them as incredibly sexy beauties. Their aura and the way they talk is very tempting almost attracting everyone towards them in just one minute. They already are rule the dark feminine aesthetic and the Siren eyed look, the gaze is hypnotizing and captivating. Ashlesha women are extremely powerful seductress.

Another thing that Rohini and Ashlesha have in common is the power attraction able to pull masses with ease due to their enthralling and entrancing talents and they're both connected to snakes which grants them seduction and hypnotism, but also snakes has connections to water too some snakes know how to swim and those that are born with snake yoni nakshatras can be excellent swimmers and sensual dancers. Snake nakshatras make great singers, they have breathy, sultry, and trance-inducing vocals. Both of these nakshatras tend to attract people that want to abuse, and take advantage of them because of their beauty, charm, and seductiveness. It's similar to a snake it'll be minding its own business just passing through and then all of a sudden humans or animals will catch hold of the its presence admiring it or immediately freaking out wanting to attack it, this is why snakes are constantly on defense mode from things and people that'll want to harm them much similar to Siren and her singing. Thanks to the venom that snakes maintain that is too used to protect themselves as well.

Marilyn Monroe 🖤 Rohini Sun & Mercury, Ashlesha Ascendant

Marilyn was known to be one of the most popular and beloved sex symbol in her prime and still is after her death. She's also referred to being the most iconic Siren, Marilyn had a magnetic charisma about her that many viewers, and fans, loved about her. She was enormously irresistible to masses with her beautiful appearance, blonde hair, red lips, and hourglass figure was a big part of her allure. Why do you think those who use the 'Marilyn Monroe Effect' to exude confidence, sensuality, and timeless beauty that she personified. Marilyn Monroe was a force to be wrecked with and still is!

Salma Hayek 🖤 Ashlesha Venus Atmakaraka

The seductive Salma Hayek, forever an enchantress has remained a beacon of raw sensuality and untamed beauty for many decades, with her dark eyes, thick raven tresses, and hourglass figure. Her spellbinding allure is undoubtedly unmatched, in 1996's Dusk Till Dawn most iconic scene Salma gained massive attention worldwide for her exotic and complling snake dance in the movie, you'll think she was a siren out of water performing that dance.

Angelina Jolie 🖤 Rohini Sun

Halting as the world's most beautiful woman to ever hit this world is also a famous Siren which you can see through her movies, interviews, and photos. Angelina has this siren-like and hypnotic gaze able to captivate those that look into her eyes, her entire existence is the reason why she subconsciously causes extreme reactions within the public. Angelina has a erotic and tempting quality to her that's a big factor to her appeal, beauty, and aura she's everybody's girl crush of the century. Angelina Jolie will forever be that girl!

Alexa Demie 🖤 Ashlesha Jupiter & Ascendant

Alexa known to play Maddy Perez in Euphoria, because of her role in Euphoria she gained a mass following on social media. Alexa is also a private person barely revealing things about herself and personal life which led to people being intrigued by her, she has a enigmatic and mystifying trait about her that no one can explain not even me. Alexa doesn't have to try anything to grab anyone's attention her ravishing beauty and the way she carries herself quickly captures onlookers eyes, to me Alexa Demie embodies the true traits of a Siren.

Adriana Lima 🖤 Ascendant Lord Mars in Rohini

Adriana is one of the most famous and successful models to ever walk multiple runways, in 2012 she's even been viewed by more than 100 million people from her appearing in two Super Bowl ads in one game! Ever since then Adriana still remained one of the most popular Victoria's Secret models, in 2012 Adriana is ranked 4th on the list of top-earning models with an estimated annual salary of $7.3 million and in 2021 she ranked 2nd with an estimated salary of $30 million. Adriana is noted for her magnetic presence and remaining agelessly alluring, she's effortlessly oozing charm and confidence through her walks, becoming a known figure of beauty and in the modeling world.

Ailyn 🖤 Rohini Sun & Mercury, Possible Ashlesha Moon

Before I finish up this post I'd like to add Ailyn here, she was a former singer in the Norwegian metal band called, "Sirenia" and when she was still in the group they had a album named, "Perils of the Deep Blue" that came out in 2013 with the cover image of Siren. All of the songs in the album is dedicated to Siren, Ailyn's singing and essence alone is reminding me of a Siren.

More Siren Examples

Brigitte Bardot [Rohini Moon and Ashlesha Mars], Bella Hadid [Ashlesha Mars Atmakaraka], Michelle Pfeiffer [Rohini Ascendant], Halle Berry [Ashlesha Sun], Emily Ratajkowski [Rohini Sun], Mila Kunis [Ashlesha Sun], Madison Beer [Rohini Ascendant], Monica Bellucci [Ashlesha Venus], Hwasa [Rohini Moon], Mae West [Ashlesha Mercury], Gabbriette Betchel [Rohini Moon], Elizabeth Taylor [Ashlesha Jupiter], Uma Thurman [Rohini Mars], Jennifer Lawrence [Ashlesha Sun], Olivia Wilde [Rohini Moon], Charlize Theron [Ashlesha Sun, Moon, & Mercury]

Variety fell for the "Glicked" thing! People tried to artificially make a new BarbenHeimer with GLADIATOR and WICKED

and paired Paul Mescal and Ariana Grande together for their "Actors on Actors" series.

Stahp.

The entire lineup.

-There are people who criticized Ryan Reynolds being paired with Andrew Garfield as Reynolds deal in comedy, so he made an impassioned defense on why it makes sense; but it makes sense because of the Marvel characters connection.

Craig and O'Connor have the Luca Guadagnino connection, Angelina Jolie and Cynthia Erivo both have singing in their films (I saw MARIA where Jolie plays opera legend Maria Callas and at the Q&A she and director Pablo Larrain kept talking about Jolie actually learning how to sing opera for the role, but nowhere did they tell that crowd that they pulled the BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY blend where Jolie's vocals are mixed with Callas. It's more Callas than Jolie to be sure.

Someone joked Nicole Kidman and Zendaya were paired because they're both tall and have been with short men named Tom and honestly, this would actually make sense.

JinJiyanAzadi #BijiRojava Can the Kurdish Women’s Movement Transform the Middle East? [UPDATES]

We’re all familiar with the orientalized, fetishized image of the Kurdish warrior woman doing battle against ISIS. Part Amazon, part Angelina Jolie, she’s all too easily sanitized, Westernized, and plucked out of her context in the militant, women-led Kurdish liberation movement. In The Kurdish Women’s Movement: History, Theory, Practice, Kurdish academic Dilar Dirik aims to deepen and complicate this image, placing that movement in the context of decades of checkered, often-overlooked “History,” a unique historic and sociological “Theory,” and a “Practice” claiming to touch the lives of millions of women across the Middle East…

From my experience, there’s a 2 white women that Amber Heard supporters (and now Blake Lively supporters) like to compare her to all the time.

Angelina Jolie

Melissa Benoist

But the thing is… neither Angelina or Melissa did all this image rehabilitation when coming out with their stories. Melissa told her story and that was it. Nothing else was said. That man admitted what he did on his own. If I remember correctly, before the lawsuit stuff with Angelina and Brad, it was THEIR OWN KIDS who took to socials and spoke out about what their father did and was doing. And the behaviour from them since then such as changing their surnames, etc, indicates that they don’t really want to be associated with that man. Angelina barely SPEAKS about that man. Maybe it’s because of the court stuff, idk. But she refuses to even talk about him when asked.

Now I’m not saying that victims act only a certain way or anything like that, but what I am saying is (as a victim myself) that I don’t understand why a victim would try to get ahead in the eyes of public opinion if they’re so confident in their story. Because at the end of the day, being abused and getting justice for being abused is not really about the public opinion, is it? It’s about you, your abuser, and justice. Not what random people on the internet think. Does it matter if not every random person on the internet believes you? Why does that matter to supposed victims such as Amber Heard and Blake lively?

Angelina Jolie and Melissa Benoist were being compared out the ass to Amber Heard during/after the trial but they only seemed to serve as objects for the public to use to legitimize Amber. both Angelina and Melissa handled their shit and came across as genuine because of how they acted and what they said, but their stories in general were easy to prove.

Angelina’s kids being SO against Brad almost immediately and only becoming more publicly hateful of him, even changing their names, was a huge red flag on Brad’s part that anyone could see was a sign Angelina was telling the truth.

Melissa’s abusive ex was telling on himself from the beginning but she never did anything with the accusation, she didn’t push it and she didn’t use it for any kind of narrative. she just spoke her truth and let it settle however it was going to because she just needed to say it. and her story is the same every time, easy to believe bc it makes sense, and she as a person seems credible.

Amber changed the story every time she was asked, made weird expressions and pretended to cry, was caught on video AND audio bragging about how she could abuse her husband and no one would believe him, caught hitting him and intimidating him, caught faking bruises with makeup and lying about cheating on her victim with Elon fucking Musk. if she can’t even keep her story straight and there’s SO much evidence against her, why would she be credible? and just like Blake, people point to text messages. they’re like “but he said bad things about her over text!!!” yeah and she was hitting him. those things are not the same. people were screaming “mutual abuse” when they couldn’t debunk one of Johnny’s claims, while then blaming “reactive abuse” and “self defense” when it was proven she was the only abuser.

they’re all such different scenarios but even Evan Rachel Wood, who was married to one of Johnny’s (ex, I think) friends at the time of the abuse, is more believable than Amber. Evan even publicly eluded to not believing Amber because she was acting like a character and not a real victim and people RIPPED EVAN TO SHREDS. they called HER a liar and said HER story was fake just because she didn’t believe Amber.

“you only don’t believe her bc she’s a woman!” 1. I am a woman. 2. I believe MULTIPLE other women. Amber and Blake are just the only two the public wants to believe because they’re pretty and know how to manipulate feminism from a lifetime of doing so. get over it.

[maxwell-grant]

So I saw that Street Fighter tier list, and I noticed that C. Viper was near dead last. I'm not too familiar with her, but I was under the impression she was pretty well-liked by SFIV standards--any reason why you dislike her so much?

I don't actually dislike her much as a character, I put her at the bottom because of how much I hate Viper's playstyle. That wasn't really a tier list for the series in general, more so about the prospecting of those characters returning (ex: I don't hate Necalli, I wrote the biggest semi-defense the dude is ever gonna get, and I still know he needs to fuck off). In Viper's case, I find her uniquely grating to watch because she spends so much time spamming feint Seismic Hammer to condition control over the opponent's jumps or canceling Burning Kick in the air to mix up her landings, and it makes it she's always doing that ringing sound all the goddamn time, at least El Fuerte's squeaky shoes and running animation are funny. Yes, it kind of is sublimely perfect that the CIA agent's playstyle consists of overtly psychologically conditioning and electrically torturing your opponent into opening up, but that lands her into a firm "fuck off forever" for me because I never want to sit through a Viper match in SFIV and MvC3 alike, or ever again. So unless they did something about that, I don't consider it a loss if she's never playable again. She probably will though, if not in 6 then in 7, but that's a headache for later.

I mean, SFIV standards were abysmally low so you could say Viper was comparatively well-received next to the other new characters, but she was never really that popular. In fact even at the game's launch Ono was surprised that players weren't latching onto Viper, despite Viper being custom-made for Western audiences

“With all due to respect to him (Abel), he’s a great character, but honestly we thought Crimson Viper would be a big hit here,” said Ono. “We got a lot of marketing data and a lot of advice from our US branch in creating that character. She was kind of custom tailored for the States and we thought people would like her.”

People did start playing her a lot more overtime because she turned out to be a competitive scene monster, but I mostly remember people being baffled and cynical when she got picked for MvC3. C.Viper was a popular moveset, but not so much a popular character, and it wasn't at all difficult for Juri to completely eclipse her, despite how hard they were trying to push Viper at first. I think you can very easily point to what Ono said as a reason why she didn't catch on that much. She is blatantly designed to appeal to American audiences and that made her more of a gimmick than a character. She is Angelina Jolie as a secret agent spy in an extremely tight-fitting pantsuit who also has superhero powers that nobody else has and that she achieves with technology. I already don't give much of a damn about most of the military/government affiliated characters in the series, but they tend to have other things going on that Viper really doesn't.

The KOF ladies she's ripping off have distinct fighting styles (and those games get to play much more loose with character design) they get to provide an interesting take on by doing it while dressing fashionably, but Viper is defined by her reliance on gadgets and gimmicks. She is a very generic videogame protagonist lady who plays like one of those hodpedodge World Tour characters, and she's not even a bad design on her own, she's just not really pulling her weight as a Street Fighter character. She represents nothing, and I don't think she has anything going on really justifies her inclusion over another character.

All that said, I actually do think Viper is a useful character to have around. I'm against her ever being playable again but, like I said, she probably will, and fine, she has a allright enough niche as a character. I am exceedingly generous to a lot of SF characters I'm otherwise not a fan of and she's a character I can talk myself into appreciating more, as I'm doing now. She's a decent POV character to drive stories around in her IV and V appearences, given her job forces her to play detective around the characters, but she actively doesn't want to fight, so she's always going to run when the going gets rough and leave the fighting to the actual main characters. Her priority is to do her job so she can go home and be with her daughter and that's all she cares about, she has neither time nor patience to care about this and she finds it frankly ridiculous that people call her gadgets unfair, when she's just trying to get the fight done as quickly as possible.

They get some good mileage out of the fact that she stands for nothing and that she is intruding somewhere she doesn't belong, that she's just punching the clock on a job she was given, that she really doesn't have any kind of beef with these people and just needs them to get out of her way and really has no stake other than survival for her family's sake, and that all the fighters detest her, whether it's because she is blatantly cheating, or because she's a pain in the ass, or because of how viciously she brutalized Cammy (not sure if that whole movie is canon still), that kind of thing.

It could be very possible that Juri ls lying, and the illustration is definitely exaggerated, but I enjoyed the reveal in SF6 that she and Viper have basically become partners in crime, that Juri considers them "cut from the same cloth", and that she has the same goal as a greedy career criminal who kidnaps people for evil organizations (which was the same thing C.Viper was doing undercover). I enjoy them mostly dispensing with the pretense that Viper is supposed to be a good person and I enjoy the series letting one of it's government/military agent characters be a bastard/ honest about the job they have.

She can love her daughter as much as she wants and even have decent enough interactions with other characters, it's not going to make her not a CIA spook who beats up and tortures people with electric gauntlets on the clock. It isn't even that unbelievable that she would wind up on good terms with Juri, not just because they're both cheating with technological assets, or because they were both working for the same guy and biding their time to backstab him, but because they both exist to break the rules everyone else is mostly abiding by, neither strong enough to attrack too much attention as villains nor weak enough that they can't match the heroes when push to comes to shove. They both had personal revenge stakes to get through (Juri with her parents, Viper with her fallen partners), and with both of their targets gone, they get to just be themselves: cockroaches trying to make off with the prize / turn a profit in a space they view as largely dominated by suckers.

Much like Mel Masters in the 6 comic, I think it's good for Street Fighter to have characters that have an agnostic/adverse relationship to the concept of street fighting, and to her credit, there is something really funny about her position. She is a James Bond in a world full of evil organizations and villains to fight, but the only way to get to them is through fighting tournaments, and all the actual heroes of the world fighting said people hate her guts for cheating and refusing to put in the work they did in martial arts that are, apparently, the most important thing in the world I guess??? She is a hypercompetent superspy who wishes she could be out there doing regular espionage stuff, and instead has to deal with superpowered fighting bozos flushing years of careful investigative work down the toilet. Born to blow up islands full of henchmen and arm South American coups, forced to step into the ring with Ryu from the Streets who doesn't even pay taxes.

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

even if Matt Mercer/CR having a non-profit organization and occasionally speaking out on social issues is enough to argue that they've built their entire brand on being "activists", my point still stands. there are plenty of more influential celebrities with bigger platforms who have charities and who speak out on social issues who have not made any attempt to speak in support of or donate to Palestine. in fact, many of these "activist" celebrities are Zionists themselves. by your own logic, their actions should be focused on instead of just repeating the same criticisms of CR ad nauseum. not to mention that obsessively focusing on criticizing one single company with relatively little influence in how things play out is not at all helpful to Palestinians. even if you think CR deserves to be held accountable, focusing so much attention on them does little to actually improve the conditions of those actually suffering in Palestine right now.

It's funny how nobody ever came to Disney's defense when I rightfully called them out for funding a genocide, but the second I say anything critical of CR/Matt Mercer, everyone starts to freak out and clutch their pearls.

Critical Role has one of the biggest platforms on the entire internet.

More people know who Matt Mercer is when compared to the average Hollywood celebrity.

Also, all the activist celebs are Zionists now? So, Susan Sarandon and Angelina Jolie didn't risk their careers by speaking out? Or are you just gonna pretend like every single celeb you don't care for is secretly a Zionist?

You're acting like I only ever talk about all the pro genocidal weirdos, when I have in fact praised people like Susan Sarandon, Angelina Jolie, Melissa Barrera, and Sunil Malhotra for using their platforms to speak out.

And another thing, if Critical Role wasn't a socially conscious company, then why did they put out a statement regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine not long after it happened?

Love how hardcore Critical Role fans will praise the company for taking a stance on a major geopolitical issue, but then they'll keep making excuses as to why the company dropped the ball when it came to Palestine.

Is "Critical Role was never a socially conscious company" the CR fandom equivalent of "Star Trek/Star Wars/X-Men was never political"?

I really believe the party would become doomsday preppers in the future. Like after everything calmed down in Hawkins and they've all moved on they stay prepared just in case. I think Dustin would be the most extreme. Not like living in a bunker but he'd definitely have a bunker or hidden surveillance. Nancy would have a few guns hidden away, bug would have knives ( maybe even a small collection at this point) hidden but accessible to her and Steve. Hopper would probably stay strapped but that's cause he used to be a cop, he's gonna have some form of self defense. If shit really went down I could see there being a rendezvous point for the party to meet at. Hopper,Dustin, and Erica would have that place booby trapped to hell. Sometimes when I think of bug with knives I think of that video of Angelina Jolie with her butterfly knife and it just suits her to be skilled with her hands.

i quite literally would not blame them like if i went through half the shit they did in season 1 ALONE id simply always carry a glock

also angelina jolie’s butterfly knife interview is so bug coded i actually gasped

[mistressemmedi]

I know Fassbender did “prepare” for Le Mans even tho he crashed and ruined it all for the team and crew and all but it bothers me so much when famous people just think they can just suddenly drive in any professional category (yes I'm still angry at the fact that Angelina Jolie's ex husband is going to drive in Silverstone) when the people that spend their WHOLE life dedicated to the sport are still being sidelined. This situation aside seeing Giovinazzi, Hartley, Gutierrez, di Resta and Kubica in the 11 teams with more laps and everyone else who has been wronged by the Formula's and did an awesome job at Le Mans be so happy and thankful to their teams makes me really happy.

Sorry for the rant May.

I will throw a bone in his defense, I think Fassbender put more effort than others in preparation for the race. If I'm not mistaken he completed in a few full seasons of the European Le Mans series, and this was his second (third?) Le Mans entry. I think Patrick Dempsey is another example of a famous person who is serious about his motorsports passion.

Unfortunately Fassbender's race ended the way it did, so... 🤷‍♀️

Sleeping Beauty AU for my birthday? Sleeping Beauty AU for my birthday.

RIGHT off the bat, I wanna say this set's a mess and it was supposed to have more sketches in it (I REALLY wanted to draw LeFou fighting a dragon) but uhhhh .....*vague hand gestures* Emotional Issues. Will they come one day? Yeah probably. Until then...please enjoy what I managed to pull together.

1-2.)

''She's your daughter. You can't do this to her.''

''Yes I can. I'm her mother.''

First up, we got a test sketcj of Abanny as Maleficent, and a spooky-wooky headshot. Abanny was almost entirely inspired by Angelina Jolie in the live action Maleficent movie, so I could think of NO better role for her to play in this AU than the one she was made for.

Nicole was supposed to be raised by Abanny as well as her two fathers in a sort of big joint adoption found family thing. But they couldn't really get past Abanny's whole Matriarchal forest demigod who eats people thing as something they wanted their daughter around. So they kind of...booted Abanny from the group chat, let's say. Abanny's fury at being banned from having a part in her daughter's life MIGHT'VE been understandable....until Abanny decided ''Fine if I can't be a part of her life then she can't be a part of anyone else's'' and doomed her daughter to a sinister prophecy out of anger. That's the fun thing about Abanny. I can imagine her doing horrible destructive stuff to Nicole out of spite and it's not even that out of character (Any Incredibles AU fans in the audience?)

3.) ''...And a few....carrots?''

Yeah HI if this one looks funky dunky it's because it isssss *checks dates* JUST about a year old now!! This was the first Sleeping Beauty AU sketch and it has seen everything (Fnaf reference) and then I just kept thinking about this concept and that's where the rest of this stuff came from. I MEANT to rewdraw this one but uhhhh .....*vague hand gestures* Emotional Issues.

LeFou's horse is named Pompeii btw!!!! She's been a character of mine for a while, but I haven't REALLY used her for much since about 2015. Figured she deserved to be re-homed for this AU. If she looks familiar it's because yes I came up with her after watching Frozen.

4.) ''Once Upon a Time Dream''

Yes yes, you've all seen me post this one before, and Im being a hack by reposting it here and deleting it from the original photoset, but in my defense it goes with the rest of the set.

''He's wearing a totally different outfit than in the previous sketch and that doesn't make sense-'' Whoa mama mia cunt

5.) ''...When true loves kiss...''

If LeFou looks a little rough, he DID just plow through a forest of thorns to fight a dragon who also happens to be his incredibly bitter mother in law. Also battle damage is hot fight me.

6.)

Now that you're lovin me

It's so heavenly

Based on that final frame from the movie, but with like....one or two very small personal touches (Sarcasm)

...Anyway I'm tired but hey it's my birthday I made it through another year and even better I drew a lot more stuff so it's not all bad.

I also think Harry wants to get an EGOT. But I don't really think that was the reason for him to get into acting. I mean, Harry can get an EGOT just by writting songs for soundtracks or by having producer credits in things like TV shows/broadway shows, etc, he doesn't need to act to get there.

I think he went into acting probably because he was encouraged by his team to do so. A lot of pop stars have done the same in the past, more or less successfully. Getting themselve in a different industry, acting, in this case, will keep them relevant even if one day their albums underperforms. It's basically their way to try to expand an artist shelve life by making them known by other things besides music and establish them more as household names.

I also don't think Harry has ever seemed super passionate about acting nor that he thought he would EGOT becuase of it, as I said. I really think it was just to make him more of an household name, which they achived, because even though DWD was a disaster it made everyone aware of Harry, even people outside of his target demographic, and lots of people who didn't know who he was before.

And yes I also don't think Harry is super talented acting wise, but i actually think he is able with the skills he has to carry secundary roles of the same size of the one he had on Dunkirk. And if Harry and his team want him to keep acting he should go for those type of roles, small ones.

About his co-stars, I agree some of them resented him a bit for taking the focus away for them and the other things you mentioned. But that's a bit inevitable. Harry has reached a level that he has more star power than pretty much any actor from his generation, so unless Harry ends up in a movie with older and really established actors, or he will always end up being the focus for the media. I mean, even in Eternals, with The Angelina Jolie there, during the press tour they did for the movie every two questions were them asking the actors how it was to work with Harry.... There's not much you can do about that, I don't think... maybe Harry is too famous for his own good.

Also, about Harry being too famous for his own good. Just to say, on his defense, that most of Harry acting performances were not that good but they were also not awful. I 've seen way worse from professional actors and none of them got so much shit from film critics as Harry did. As I say once again because he is too famous for his own good, film critics couldn't miss the chance to try to knock him down a peg or two, they can't stand seeing someone be too successfull... Either way, even though Harry is surround by yes man I think he indeed knows about what those film critics said about him. And I actually felt bad for him last year because it seems that he takes to heart the things people say about him and critics didn't want to back off of him for shit. Either way, I'm sure if he wants to keep acting he will do acting lessons or something like that. Harry seems like a prefectionist.

All the anons about actor harry and my answers are under the cut.

The opinions vary, it depends on several things, but from my point of view, i agree with you.

Hi anon(s),

I agree with you, that might have been his motivation. Extending his shelf life is a good argument. I don't think he's good at acting, but also not the worst. He's just lacking natural talent and he hasn't the time nor inclination to improve imo.

I also think that Harry is not a good actor. His facial expressions are overplayed and put on (David and Ruppert are, conversely, full of “inhabited” finesse). Harry seems off when he plays. I'm sorry for the fandom but it's a fact.

what happened with the dunkirk cast ?

Nothing other than harry seemingly hanging more around the crew than the cast. It seemed like his cast mates resented him for getting the role, or they simply didn’t get along very well. I don't think they're in contact now.

Coming back to DWD, I get that you haven´t seen in because of the second hand embarassement and of course you don´t want to support OW....but is there a chance that you´ll watch it just out of the sarcasm when you know he can´t act // it needed that awful stunt and surrounding drama that became famous than the movie itself and maybee to see the difference between true actor (Florence) and singer-became-actor-because-that´s-popular-now? I mean, I watch sometimes bizzare things just because I know it´s bizzare.

(plus there´s this option to not supporting her by getting the movie you-know-where haha)

And talking about actor Harry - it´s probably also unpopular opinion but I really hope his contract with Marvel will somehow get cancelled because for me 1) Marvel´s totally desperate since Avengers Endgame and every movie after the last Avengers just sucks and so 2) getting Harry involved as a character just shows how desperate Marvel is - and I get that it´s all about money actually but still - please, Harry, you don´t need to drag yourself down this way.

If he´ll continue acting, I would prefer to see him in those small/indie movies with less famous actors. Like Taylor and Nick from RWRB.

And last opinion - I have a theory why MP went much better like how Harry fits in the cast simply because they got to know each other before filming (they had like 3 weeks for reheasals and to know each other?) and he probably felt much more comfortable with queer people who understood him and he didn´t have to pretend. Btw I also have a theory that David knows he´s gay like Harry told him because he´s gay himself and so Harry knew he can fully trust him and be open. And that´s maybe why Harry doesn´t follow him on IG because they maybe got stronger bond and so he doesn´t want any gossip (it´s enough that some tabloids wrote he had something with Emma omg). But that´s probably stupid theory, I don´t know.

No, i won't watch it. I have no inclination to do that at all. I agree with Marvel, i hope they changed their minds (if the rumours are true) and we've seen the last of his acting. About mp, yes maybe, but i just think he had better motivation to do the film. I think both David and Emma knows he's gay and with Louis. I don't think H is that close with David, also ig followers means nothing.

Russian bot network 'Doppelgänger' floods Western media with misinformation amid Ukraine aid freeze

In a bid to sway public opinion, the Kremlin-linked bot network 'Doppelgänger' has begun disseminating pseudo-journalistic articles advocating for a recent decision by the new U.S. President Donald Trump to freeze aid programs for Ukraine.

The propaganda push contends that Europe, too, should stop assisting Kyiv.

The articles have surfaced on clone websites of notable outlets like Germany's Der Spiegel and France's Le Parisien, claiming to represent the voices of the German and French populations, according to The Insider and the Bot Blocker Project .

The overarching message suggests that Trump's move will place Ukraine's financial burdens squarely on Europe's shoulders.

"Germany is at a crossroads: continue to take cues from across the ocean by supporting Ukraine and increasing military expenditure at the expense of everything else, leading to further industrial decline and rising unemployment and poverty. Or start saving its own existence, which is already teetering on the brink of economic disaster. Much will hinge on the decisions we make on February 23. We must approach them thoughtfully and consciously," fake Spiegel writes.

"The U.S. President cuts aid to corrupt Ukraine, while Emmanuel Macron seems determined to further ruin his own country. French citizens should brace for tough times ahead," remarks the counterfeit Le Parisien.

These publications are being amplified on Twitter by numerous fake accounts, echoing sentiments like, "I am for peace and stability, but not at any cost. We must also think of our own population," and "The U.S. is leaving and leaving Europe to deal with the consequences alone? That's unfair. We can't bear the entire burden," as well as concerns such as, "I'm worried about the constant discussions about arms supplies. I don't want Germany to be dragged even deeper into this conflict," among others.

Doppelgänger is the code name for a campaign aimed at interfering in the affairs of foreign countries. It involved creating a vast number of fake news websites and inauthentic social media accounts.

These sites and accounts, operating in various languages, disseminated false or distorted information about people or events to serve the interests of the Russian authorities and intelligence services. Specifically, this included content related to Ukrainian politicians and Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.

For instance, in late 2023, hundreds of accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and other social networks published quotes criticizing the war and Western financial aid to Ukraine. These accounts falsely claimed that celebrities like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Angelina Jolie, and Cristiano Ronaldo had spoken out against aid to Ukraine and opposed President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Journalists from the German organization Correctiv have uncovered evidence linking the Doppelgänger campaign to the Russian government. It was revealed that one of the IP addresses used by the operators of this propaganda campaign is connected to an employee of the Main Communications Directorate of the State Information Processing Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Additionally, this IP address is part of the JSC Voentelecom network, a virtual mobile operator created by t2 in collaboration with the Russian Ministry of Defense.

One of the Doppelgänger information attacks was investigated by French authorities. In early 2024, they discovered that the IT companies National Technologies and the Agency for Social Design (ASD), both under European sanctions, were behind it. The ultimate owner of National Technologies LLC is the Russian defense conglomerate Rostec.

The bots also promoted the EuroBRICS website, which has proven connections to the psychological operations unit (military unit 54777) of the GRU.

Previously, the European Union imposed a package of sanctions against participants in this campaign to manipulate digital information, including the aforementioned National Technologies, ASD, and several officers from military unit 54777 of the GRU.

Week 1: Introductions

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m currently in my senior year studying Interior Design. I moved to NYC when I started college, but I’m originally from Boston, Massachusetts. I love cooking, working out, and organizing.

My favorite celebrity changemaker is Angelina Jolie because of her continuous humanitarian work and refugee advocacy, especially for women and children. Jolie has founded several impactful organizations, including the National Center for Refugee and Immigrant Children, which provides free legal aid to children seeking asylum in the United States, the Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) program, which ensures that unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children have proper legal representation, and the Jolie Legal Fellows Program, which supports lawyers and advocates working to protect human rights in developing countries. Jolie’s dedication to these causes is shown through her hands-on approach. While visiting a refugee camp, she once said, “A refugee woman, living nowhere, raising five kids with no food, does not need me to cry. She isn't crying. She needs me to go find some solutions for her.” This sets a powerful example for other celebrities, showing how their influence, resources, and platforms can be used to drive meaningful change and spread awareness.

This is also the behavior our son has to put up with gets in the middle of it sometimes cuz they keep him in it and forcing you and Paul donuts is the guy with a beer and he's in that case and a loser he's a nut and a loser and thinks he has an AI too and he's a nobody and he's sitting there starting trouble with a guy over and over she's going to come back and shoot him and he tried to several times and he got shot dead in the head and it keeps happening to these assholes cuz they keep doing it then we're going to shut them down and we're moving to do so and they're going to be completely gone right now there's huge battles going on and all these retards are out there fighting over Giants and stashes and caches is getting bigger and bigger and is trying to invade at the same time and they're going to get weeded out it's going to happen faster and faster as they're starting to go after the bunkers in the desert but all of them are and including clothes it's going to be a huge group there's probably 24% warlock globally on and off Island but off island is probably only about 10% and about 4% is going to go to the desert today they said and we calculate there's 2% planning on it but two more percent might go up there take over those pseudo empire bunkers and they did it before. And that would cut each group in half basically, except for Trump who would be probably lose 60 to 70% and we hear it too on the radio everybody does

Hera

Mac daddy

Olympus

We're in for a hell of a week we might be able to see the hand of God finally as you say it she says it this is going to be more motivational

Frank Castle hardcastle

Today is going to be a huge day in the Eastern hemisphere they're planning on attacking the bunkers and then deserts and it will be about 2% of their population and off Island which is only 10% and it will increase until they take the bunkers and then they'll do it in the Western hemisphere and they're planning for it now. They're invasion was to go off at 3:00 a.m. last night and it did not at all so they're going to try for this evening probably at about midnight and by the time they're done they'll have 0.5% of mass and including minority warlock and that 10% does not include sudo empire but the number is going to go down if you count the pseudo empire bunkers on this side they already have taken out a few and in the East so they're motivated and also the new attacks on the desert and jungle area bunkers it could be upwards of 4.5% to 5% cutting them in half and they would call for people from the islands and some would come off probably a percent but there being attacked there and they're losing people it was 12% on Australia last week now it's 10% on New Zealand it was 4.5% and now it is about 3.8% and the vicious tax and they're increasing due to the Giants and the ships and because of stuff being taken there that's why they took probably 90% of the stash and cash stuff for a large scale attack no it's for defense

Hey, I'm not against Eric killing Ursula at all (if anything, I preferred the original ending to the remake ending). I just figured if they needed to have Ariel kill her, the best course of option is to ensure they BOTH kill her together.

And quite frankly, I wouldn't really say having Ariel kill Ursula with Eric would necessarily take away from his masculinity. At least he proved his masculinity a whole lot of times before then, positive masculinity at that (the first instance where he needed saving from Ariel, for example was due to him boarding the burning ship to save his pet dog Max, and it's heavily implied he aided in the evacuation of his crew before then. And then there's the second [well, technically third after the Vanessa incident] instance where it was the direct result of a big damn heroes moment where he grazed Ursula's arm just before she could break her own contract by blowing Ariel away at point blank range). He certainly probably could still keep his masculinity intact if Ariel helped him, which is still better than how Prince Adam got his masculinity destroyed in the climax to Beauty and the Beast just to have Belle save him (basically unwilling to fight in self-defense or even save his servants from the mob until Belle was quite literally physically nearby. What's worse is that this might have been deliberate due to Linda Woolverton being a huge misandrist, something that would fully rear its ugly head with that Maleficent movie where she treated men even WORSE there, including her being directly responsible for Maleficent being turned into a woobie against even Angelina Jolie's wishes.).

And to be fair, Ariel DID learn to walk in what's implied to be a matter of hours in the movie, so she might at least be a fast learner in-canon. Still, assuming I do have them work together to defeat Ursula, I'm leaving Eric at the wheel, while Ariel if anything would be more of a guide.

But don't get me wrong, your points about the inherent victim blaming regarding Ariel's situation, damsels in distress (which contrary to popular belief is actually a rarity), not to mention Triton needing to be proven to him that humans aren't inherently evil would have been far more important than proving Ariel's usefulness, and all of that are very much valid. Heck, the victim blaming bit I actually am comparing to similar victim blaming that's being issued against Anakin Skywalker as well.

Besides, should we really count Ursula as Ariel's enemy? She if anything was more Triton's enemy, while Ariel if anything was more a means to an end, same goes for Eric. Though good point regarding how Eric would most likely have personal reasons for wanting to stop Ursula besides nearly killing Ariel (let's not forget Ursula DID imply she raped Eric during her stint as Vanessa when making off with Ariel).

I've been thinking of one of the biggest differences between the different versions of Disney's The Little Mermaid: who kills Ursula. In the animated classic, Prince Eric kills her by impaling her with a ship's bowsprit, while in both the stage musical and the live action screen remake, Ariel kills her: in the musical by destroying her magic nautilus shell, in the movie by impaling her with a ship like Eric does in the animated version.

Which variant is better can probably be debated endlessly.

Pros of Eric killing Ursula:

*Ariel saved Eric's life during the storm near the beginning. By saving Ariel's life at the climax, he returns the favor. It's more balanced than having Ariel save him twice.

*Eric has experience as a sailor; Ariel doesn't. If anyone can steer a ship's bowsprit into Ursula's heart, "realistically" it should be Eric, especially since Ariel is in mermaid form. (This doesn't apply in the stage musical where Ariel destroys Ursula's magic shell, though.)

*Eric saving the day obviously gives him more agency and heroism. Without it, he becomes a more passive figure who chiefly matters as an object to motivate Ariel.

*Eric battling and killing Ursula to save Ariel is the ultimate proof of his love for her and his worthiness of all her sacrifices, both to us, the audience, and to the characters.

*Eric saving the day is proof for Triton that humans aren't evil after all.

(The above factor is what most people who defend the original film's ending seem to emphasize. It's debatable if it's really so important, though, or whether realizing that Ariel loves Eric enough to have sacrificed everything is what changes Triton's mind. Triton doesn't even see Eric kill Ursula, we can only assume Ariel tells him about it offscreen, and his dialogue with Sebastian the next morning is only about letting Ariel be free to live her own life, not about Eric. Although in the deleted alternate version of the ending, he does say "That human saved my life," I assume it was a deliberate choice to replace that line with dialogue focused on Ariel.)

*Related to the above, if Eric kills Ursula, than Triton's choice to turn Ariel human again can be seen as not just making Ariel happy, but rewarding Eric with Ariel's hand in marriage. If you feel as if the ending unfairly rewards Ariel for her deal with Ursula, then it might feel better to view it as Eric's reward instead.

Pros of Ariel killing Ursula:

*It makes Ariel a stronger, more heroic character, not a damsel in distress who needs her man to save her. (This was presumably the main reason for the rewrite.)

*Ariel is the protagonist. She and her father have been the main targets of Ursula's villainy, not Eric.

*Ariel's deal with Ursula leads to Ursula defeating Triton and gaining his power. If Ariel kills her, then Ariel fixes the disastrous mistake she made – someone else doesn't fix it for her.

*In the stage version, Ariel destroys the shell despite the fact that Ursula offers to make her human again if she gives it back to her. In this version, Ariel atones more for her mistake than in any other version, by sacrificing what she thinks is the only power that could reunite her with Eric to save her father and his kingdom

*Ariel saving the day is proof for Triton that she's strong and competent, doesn't need his stifling protection, and deserves to be free to live her own life.

Both variants have their pros and cons, and I'm not quite sure which one I prefer.
