Time Frame: Year 0915

PWO World: Royalty Governing Lands In A Technological World

Planet Name / Size: Oshova / 1.8 X Larger Than Jupiter

Characters: 112

Story #22: Troubled Kingdoms takes place in the year of 0915 Peace World Order, this era was marked by the entire world treaty coalition that only came to fruition because peace crusaders forced their hands which ultimately led them leading the destruction of every puppeteer that kept the world in dismay. It’s been 0915 years since then, the year before the Olympics is when “Royalty Games” are set up between all nations to enforce peaceful competition between the major heads of the world from many organizations plus the thrones. Each month holds a commemorative competition between those chosen plus the royalty. The games are as follows: Maximum Kart Days, Beetle Adventure Racing, Gundanium Gladiators, Paintballing Each Other To Def, Snowboarding For Days, the Amazing Race, the Extreme Water Balloon Fiasco, the Galactic Maze, the Royal Volleyball League, Hockey League, Rugby League & Gymnastics League. They are televised through out all nations & always brings people closer; but this year will be the year that the entire world treaty coalition is cracked. Over & over again until it’s completely broken to create an all out war. It’s bogus how this sounds like a regular plot but deeper in the story lies these kids who were deemed as the Unfortunates. Like many people who fell victim to the grips of injustices, they died way too young; these kids weren’t ready to die, they were ready to game. Playing a board game called Adviriko that teaches the history of war & turmoil between nations before the entire world treaty coalition, they were into it. Like the little geniuses they were, they had ridiculous strategic points of views that always kept one of the six from winning the game. That night, was her night; until a stranger walked upon their treehouse. A horrible rain storm didn’t scare them but when he started slashing their necks, genies began to erase this event ever happening. The little girl who was finally about to beat her friends couldn’t do it because she was killed. Her rage turned her into a poltergeist, then her rage turned her friends into poltergeists; then they started to solve crimes but with the means of too much blood shed that the genies had to cover up again & again. Until they were all locked in a dimension so that the erasing of everyone’s minds of the situation could finally be executed, they stayed in that dimension for centuries it seems. Lucky them, their dopplegangers will all be involved with the Royalty Games; the six of their dopplegangers being together will help them get out of the dimension they were locked in. The wrath they intend to unleash on a world that covers up cover ups will be unleashed in the form of the Adviriko game; they will finish their game as the world is their actual playing board. It’s a good thing you don’t live in this world, right?

American Sign Language media content for receptive skills practice

Made this list because I really could have used it earlier on! My rubric is that it needs to include Deaf people signing, and that SimCom doesn't count (it may be present, but it can't be all there is).

This only includes stuff I've actually seen (or partially seen). Also, I'm including some warnings about what you may *not* want to watch, because again, I really could have used those warnings myself.

Easy (i.e. has subtitles and/or voiceover available, IIRC)

Mostly speaking:

CODA (movie; comedy/drama; on AppleTV+)

Kinderfänger (scary movie. Note that it has a 3.7/10 on IMDb. I personally liked it fwiw. not sure if it's streaming anywhere)

CODA (short film; on Kanopy)

Master of None S2.E6: New York, I Love You (TV show episode, currently on Netflix)

Wild Prairie Rose (drama/romance, currently on Peacock)

Queer Eye S8E4: Protect the Nest (reality TV, on Netflix)

CSI S11E13: The Two Mrs. Grissoms (crime show, Hulu)

ANTM Season 22 (the one with Nyle, obviously. I had to get this from the library on a DVD that, get this, had NO captions available. Not impressed. (The ASL was voiceovered))

Running Wild with Bear Grylls the Challenge S2E4: Troy Kotsur in the Scottish Highlands (reality TV, on Hulu I think)

CSI NY S3E12: Silent Night (crime show, Hulu). I found this one pretty ableist/audist (but it's hard to explain why without spoiling the whole thing - here's the summary if you're fine with spoilers: https://csi.fandom.com/wiki/Silent_Night) also the camera work sometimes seemed more interested in making the signing look artsy rather than making it legible lol

Sue Thomas, F. B. Eye (Peacock) - some episodes have lots of signing, some have none or close to it. Honestly it's pretty racist (the show came out 2002-2005. A lot of episodes are about terrorism, and they're constantly justifying racial profiling). If you can stomach that in exchange for surprisingly decent Deaf rep, here's a (probably incomplete) list of the ones with at least one non-Sue Deaf character, with a * if there are multiple: The Signing, The Heist*, He Said She Said, Girl Who Signed Wolf, Homeland Security, Bad Hair Day, Into Thin Air*, The Holocaust Survivor*, Elvis is in the Building*, Did She or Didn't She, The Fraternity*, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Troy Story*, Endings and Beginnings*. But yeah, I can't exactly recommend it, just trying to be honest about the pros and cons.

Switched at Birth - I really don't recommend this one either. I understand some people like it, but I have to give my disclaimer that if you watch a couple episodes and think "Well, I didn't like that, but maybe it will get better," lose that hope right now. To me, it only got worse. There is soooo much SimCom (yes, even later in the show when everyone should have learned to sign. Do NOT think there will be more or better signing later on). Daphne's actress has Meniere's disease; in a Reddit AMA, she said, quote, "Technically I am not deaf," so I really question why she was cast as the main Deaf character. Regardless of how she identifies, she is playing an experience she has not had; she isn't a native signer (she started learning in high school, not at age 3 like her character), and when she speaks in the show, she FAKES a "deaf accent". Also, this show is not as lighthearted as it looks, there are some truly disturbing plotlines that just get brushed over. Maybe you love this kind of drama - power to you. I'm just asking that if you watch a couple episodes and don't care for it, quit. Read some episode summaries on the wiki if you need to satisfy your curiosity, but don't hold out hope and watch almost 2 seasons' worth while feeling worse and worse about it l like I did. Moving on:

All or mostly signing:

Deaf U (reality show, on Netflix)

WHAT? (movie; comedy, silent movie; on Prime)

Blue Apple (creepy short film) https://media.gallaudet.edu/media/Blue+Apple+%281994%29/1_wke1swj2 also like. click around on the website. Gallaudet has soooooo much media available (plays, films, etc)

Scarecrow (creepy short film), also a Gallaudet production https://ssl.gallaudet.edu/videolibrary/?embed=16500 tbh there's not a ton of dialogue in this one, so maybe don't watch it if you don't like slow pacing

Don't Shoot the Messenger (raunchy YouTube series about an interpreter)

Barbie in ASL (On Max. It's the movie Barbie, but with a Deaf interpreter in the corner)

PBS also has some stuff with ASL interpretation. I didn't check everything so I don't know if they're all done by Deaf interpreters, but I recognized Jeremy Lee Stone as the interpreter for (at least some of) the Arthur episodes, and Lisa McBee for (at least some of) the Daniel Tiger ones https://pbskids.org/videos/american-sign-language-full-episodes

speaking of Jeremy Lee Stone, his Youtube channel is a great resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9HZ1JdV1Us

as are Nathie Marbury's storytelling videos https://www.youtube.com/@dawnsignpress/search?query=nathie

other kids' stories and resources for kids: https://www.youtube.com/@RMDSCO from Rocky Mountain Deaf School and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhbEjnwOPpyIHotZrGLu68OGeEZlTuvbg from Texas School for the Deaf (some of these are captioned or follow along with a book that they show on screen, but some aren't)

a few nonfiction Youtube series: Daily Moth (general news), Atomic Hands (STEM education), Quantum ASL (STEM education - just a couple longer videos, the rest are basically dictionary entries), BEHEARDDC (prison abolition), Joel West Barish (travel), Rogan Shannon (queer topics), Melmira (interviews)

Sign with Robert (available for free on both Kanopy and Tubi): this is mostly just general ASL teaching, but there are some episodes specifically labeled receptive practice where he tells jokes and stories (25, 26, and 29 - for 26 and 29 they play the stories twice, with captions the second time so you can see what you missed, it's actually super nice haha)

her specific channel doesn't have much, but you can just look up Melanie McKay-Cody, who does research about Indigenous sign languages (she is herself Cherokee). Lots of videos from her all over Youtube

SoCal Stories (interviews with folks including Marlee Matlin, CJ Jones, Bernard Bragg...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8T937th3Qg&list=PLwR2tgM-4_AYjBRvj3GWqWRjjMiZz_w8u this is part of the Youtube channel Convo Communications, which has tons of other stuff I haven't explored

ASL music videos: this list was curated by a Deaf person so I trust it https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx1wHz1f-8J_xKVdU7DGa5RWIwWzRWNVt

Deafies in Drag (Youtube comedy series)

Reverie (short film, drama. Heavy themes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiFWE6Mtpu0

Perfect Match (short film, drama / sci fi) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxE65yzMgyE

The Witnesses (short film, satire) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9iQ_hjXDg

4 translations of MLK's I Have a Dream speech: Richard Bailey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H2-3O-NJFg (no captions or voiceover), JC Smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUmdM965Si8 , Takiyah Harris (rough video quality on this one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiyG_h1tnZE , Missouri School for the Deaf students https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mmxJByigac

jooux (sexual wellness resource): https://www.youtube.com/@jooux/videos

Intermediate

Mostly Speaking:

Sound of Metal (movie; drama; on Prime) (the late-deafened characters are not played by Deaf actors, but there's still a lot of Deaf actors. Most of the signing is mid-movie, and if I remember correctly, some is not subtitled, while some is)

Children of a Lesser God (movie; available on Kanopy). The signing isn't subtitled (it's mostly voice-interpreted by another character) and also it was very hard to understand - I gather it leaned more toward SEE? So that's why it's in intermediate.

Star Trek TNG S2E5: Loud as a Whisper (on Paramount+): no subtitles; most of the signing is voice interpreted, but not all. All the ASL is in the 2nd half but there's still a good amount, I thought

All or mostly signing:

look up Gallaudet Theatre Arts on Youtube. There's actually a variety of levels here (of the two I've watched, Bunnicula has voiceover, but Midsummer Night's Dream doesn't. The audio/video quality isn't great on any of it). I'm listing it as Intermediate because for e.g. Shakespeare you can just look up the script of the play and have it in another tab to check what's going on.

Sign (short film; some sexual content) https://vimeo.com/157890479 I was able to understand most of this, which means it's a loooot easier than the Shakespeare, but yeah, no subtitles, no voiceover, no help

The Deaf Family (YouTube sitcom) (don't be fooled, only the first episode has subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1uuntQOPnw&list=PLx1wHz1f-8J9KzkK5lLO3z0wk64eUzo3Y

Deaf Traditions: Storytelling and Poetry https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIpW9QfUw6zwGKJ0N_HGH_8PnF8g7FSmg these range from easy to hard, I would say. No subtitles

Bonus warning categories:

Doesn't have as much signing as you'd think

(ranked roughly from most signing to least signing)

The Circle, Season 5 (reality show on Netflix. I did really enjoy the Deaf contestant but I definitely wanted more)

Fargo, season 1-ish (show; horror? On Hulu) I only watched a few episodes but Russell was only getting like 5 min screen time per episode and i wasn't enjoying the show otherwise, so it wasn't worth it for me personally

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist S1E9: Zoey's Extraordinary Silence (jukebox musical TV show. On Peacock)

Only Murders in the Building (mystery show on Hulu) - through the 4 seasons of the show, the Deaf character (Theo Dimas) is in 4 episodes, then 2, then 1, then 0. 🤷‍♀️

The Family Stone (I did enjoy the movie though tbh. on Hulu)

Curb Your Enthusiasm S12E3: Vertical Drop, Horizontal Tug (TV comedy, on Max) Troy only gets like 5 min of screentime 😭 he's an Academy Award winner...

Queer as Folk S1E4: F*ck Disabled People (on Peacock) (Nyle is in it but I don't think he even ever talks to anyone else who can sign? He's mostly communicating via writing)

Not Worth It

What the Bleep Do We Know: we attempted to watch this "doc" without realizing beforehand that it was all pseudoscience. Honestly, I'm not even sure there was signing in it? I think there was a little

Wonderstruck (2017). There are multiple Deaf actors on the roster. But not one of them gets to sign *anything* as far as I could tell. (One plays a character who hasn't learned to sign, I think at least two were playing hearing people (I do support Deaf actors taking hearing roles, but not if you're gonna take that as an excuse to do the reverse.... which this movie did.....), and some must have had barely any screentime). Two hearing actors get to sign (also the signing doesn't start til like the last 20 min of the movie), and two other hearing actors briefly fingerspell. 👎

Intentionally Didn't Watch (the summary was that bad)

These included Deaf people despite not really wanting them to exist!!!! (think along the lines of forcing ppl to get cochlear implants)

Scrubs S6E16, "My Words of Wisdom" https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/My_Words_of_Wisdom someone described this episode to me in a bit more detail than the summary here, and yeah. not good

House S5E22, "House Divided" https://house.fandom.com/wiki/House_Divided legit infuriating

Some days are antm season 22 and some days are season 3 😔

[antmrankingskd]

Which ANTM cycles hadd the most likable and most hateable casts?

Most likable:

Cycle 4: I generally liked everyone looking back, the top 10 were all pretty great other than a couple incidents from some individuals

Cycle 6: no explanation needed really

Cycle 8: some all-time great personalities/characters here

Cycle 13: other than a few exceptions (primarily just Kara/Ashley/Lulu) it was a pretty pleasant group

Special shout-out to the top 5 of the British half of C18, I adored all of them

Most hateable:

Cycle 14: I hesitated to put this one since there are several contestants I love (Krista/Angelea/Alasia/even Jessica in the first half) but most of the others were either insufferable or denied any meaningful screentime.

Cycle 19: personality-wise I didn’t particularly like anyone besides Nastasia (who was basically invisible). My feelings ranged from indifference to varying levels of dislike.

All of the Boys/Girls cycles (20-22): there were a few exceptions in each cast that I enjoyed, but the vast majority were annoying as fuck. Cycle 20 especially.

Season 5 Episode 1

I know I skipped some episodes, so I'll try to do more with the rest of the series.

⚠️Spoilers AND Opinions ⚠️

We basically picking up 4yrs later. So we can see if they achieved what they wanted during that time

1. Not Nathan looking like his daddy with the hair and beard. I wonder if that was intentional

2. These people look like they in they 30s to be 22 just off the clothes.

3. Love that Haley is going after what she wants

4. LOVE Brooke owning her own company. I think it was truly on brand for her to level up like that. And her comment, "anorexia is a disease, not a fashion statement" was definitely a commentary on the modeling industry standards. It was a big deal when I was growing up from ANTM, Ugly Betty, to things like the Victoria Secret Fashion Shows etc. Having to lose weight to get a modeling gig was and is (although with more represent) an issue. So love that they made Brooke a girls girl

5. I wonder if she'll ever end up with Mouth

6. It's crazy how most of them are really still reflecting life after college

HAPPY 34TH BIRTHDAY, NYLE DiMARCO!!!

hey everyone, i have something VERY important to talk about. my friend alexis started dating dustin mcneer, a body builder and contestant on America’s Next Top Model cycle 22. he has been abusing her for the last few months, starting around the end of april/beginning of may. he has threatened her, blackmailed her, and hurt her both emotionally and physically. He has been manipulating her into staying with him and the other day, he posted a video which he has been blackmailing her with for months. He now has posted several videos on his instagram and twitter. PLEASE go retweet my friend rebecca’s thread about this, we need to make sure people know alexis’ story. people need to know the truth about dustin. thank you so much for reading

I already knew that when I hear a language I don't recognize and/or don't understand (especially if people are talking loud or fast), my brain flips a big giant lightswitch inside my skull from "English" to "So The Only Other Language We Have Is Spanish" to where it is the fastest way to get me to both respond in and start THINKING in Spanish... but apparently that's my mental response to seeing people struggling with sign language, too. which, and I cannot emphasize this enough, is not at all fucking helpful lmao.

[antmrankingskd]

Have you seen Ava (and her sister Chanel) on the show The Circle?

I’m aware she was on the show but I’ve never watched it
