My mother has just phoned me to check in while she's travelling in Scotland, and suddenly asked about "that dragon show with the prince you watched" (me: "...the dragon prince?") because a friend of hers has recently got into writing fanfic for "apparently a hot villain??" (me: "...aaravis? arravos?" Her: "no, V-something? Vardi? Vira?" Me: "...viren?") and bless her, my mum is so supportive about it, but also sounds so confused as if she didn't cosplay as Blake 7 Villa when she was younger

So... Apparently UA s4 is a massive flop.... I'm not saying we need to start bullying* showrunners and writers and networks/streamers (*putting pressure on them to do right by beloved pieces of media with passionate fan bases so much so that they feel they'll get the guillotine if they do anything less than perfect and justice by the story/characters) but.... We need to start bullying showrunners and writers and networks/streamers again. These mfs have gotten too comfortable

Interesting that the photo Anna posted on her social of her and Georgia is perfectly clear and shows how close they are and that their “besties” but Michael and David are blurred so we can’t see them?? Also interested to see what their all working on together, or at least what Anna’s clearly filming since she’s posting in her dressing room

Well, let's get the visual up first, for folks who haven't seen the post being referenced here:

The first thing I have to say is that I am absolutely so delighted to see a picture of Michael and David sitting together. I feel like we haven't gotten to see them with each other in ages, even though the GO 2 interviews were just a few months ago, and it truly warms my heart to know they are getting together and seeing each other while Michael is in London.

What also came to mind when seeing this was that this is definitely serving "couples," but I'm not sure they are the couples AL maybe intended. Were I a casual viewer who had no idea of the relationship status of anyone here, I would assume Georgia/AL were one couple and Michael/David were the other. But when you look closer, it's even more difficult to characterize the former as a couple, because the picture of them is so posed. The picture of Georgia and AL just feels so cold, whereas Michael and David very much give off the vibe of not needing to take a posed picture just to look like they are close, because you can feel the warmth coming from them even in a blurry photo.

This also touches on your point about AL/Georgia's pic being clear and in focus and Michael/David's pic being blurry. Part of me wonders if they were caught slightly off guard, as Michael seems to have a bit of a "deer in the headlights" expression on his face and David looks like he wasn't even looking in her direction. And again, the contrast: AL and Georgia get to take their time, make sure they look good for their picture, but the same thought and care does not appear to have been extended to Michael and David. The feeling it gives me is of AL wanting the spotlight and including Michael/David because she knows that is what will give the post more traction and visibility.

Also, to what you said about AL filming in a dressing room (which refers to another Insta story she posted earlier today), I don't get the sense that they are working on anything together, as the pics in the second post appear to have been taken in someone's home (if you look at the mirror picture, AL has blurred out pictures on the wall behind her), so my feeling is that this was at David and Georgia's home. I had hoped that there was a chance Michael got to watch the DW 60th anniversary special, and so it certainly seems possible that he actually got to watch it with David, and I feel all tingly just at the thought of how adorable they must have been.

Again, I am thrilled that we've finally gotten another picture of Michael and David together, so that's what I am focusing on the most here. As always, I welcome any thoughts from my followers in the comments, so feel free to chime in...

Visited New York City for the first time last week, so I took the opportunity to visit the Museum Of Broadway because I only wanted to see the Cats display items and literally nothing else.

If anyone is interested, this is what they had for Cats. Two super cool costume pieces from the long running and record breaking production from the Winter Garden, plus a few other items.

First off, an elaborate Siamese costume in all its bright blue eyed glory:

A few framed display items, including an early playbill and six character designs.

Secondly, an absolutely stunning complete Gumbie Tap costume worn by Anna McNeely, originator of Jennyanydots on Broadway.

While both of those costumes were amazing, and I could have stared at them for hours, it was really disappointing to see the museum have so little Cats content given the shows significance to theaters in not only NYC, but in North America as a whole.

The Siamese was relegated to a corner of a non-related room, and the Tap costume was amongst a line-up of other (I believe, Phantom Of The Opera) costumes. I do understand that there is a section encompassing Andrew Lloyd Webber's impact on Broadway, which had a sizable PoTO representation and some pieces from Evita, Starlight Express, and Sunset Boulevard with some other stuff from that time period mixed in, but it was a bit of a letdown.

It is very possible that the MoB could not source more pieces, which if in that case, it is all fair. However, it is tiring to always see Cats made out to be some sort of unimportant or regrettable musical, and even the way the two costumes were shown reflected that. They could have easily had their day in the sun together with an expanded corner of all Cats stuff together, but maybe I am being pompous. Though, being a patron in the museum and hearing all the utter disgust and derision in the looks and voices of others seeing the Cats stuff reinforced the hatred theatre wankers have over the singing and dancing kitties. Plus, maybe just maybe, I verbally pushed back against someone shitting on Cats while I was admiring the Siamese, and let me tell you, he did not expect that at all.

If anyone has any questions about the museum, let me know. I took pictures of every room and every display item (not to the same caliber of the Cats stuff, but still). It was a very nice place with lots of pieces and history, and if I actually cared about any other musical, it would have been like visiting the Heavisde Layer itself. The Siamese and Gumbie Tap costumes were damn cool though.

I don't think this is Moe's first offense (saying something brazen/flippant) but I do think it's the first time it's called the King a bitch. And it won't be the last! The funniest part of Anna being the one to take charge and chew Moe out is that it gives Moe the opportunity to do The Exact Same Thing to Alfonse one-on-one (you know... to test the waters... to see how he feels about it....). Which it is. Also promptly chastised for.

FAVE PANELS...

hi friend, you still have the potential to be sued here in the US, even if you’re not using images. That’s a big part of why authors likes Anna Todd, scrubbed After (with all references to Harry’s name) from the internet when she started charging for it and before any publication would take an interest. (Before anyone comes for me, I’m sure the original has been saved by some third part somewhere. This is the internet after all. But the point remains if she were to be sued, she is able to claim that she did her due diligence by removing any and all content with any reference to Harry Styles from the internet BEFORE she received any payment.) The US is currently starting to crack down on copyright and intellectual property infringement. In large part due to the fact that so many people have received huge payouts over the last ten years. Unfortunately they’re not choosing to go after the ones that have actually gotten rich from the issue. And while the drivers might not care. Their management most certainly will. If you’re choosing to charge for your fiction it might be best to at the very least change names so you might have some form of deniability.

this was an interesting ask, thanks for the heads up again!

I'm not trying to go against your word, but rather wondering about the topic myself because it seems to me it's a huge gray area, so feel free to reach me on my private messages or on anon again if you want. But speaking about Anna Todd, technically she could still be sued even after scrubbing Harry's name from the story because there was still proof on the internet that it was a story about him, if we're talking about defamation it doesn't need to involve the monetization aspect, it's still defamation without it. This would mean that ANY RPF fanfiction is illegal and could be sued (which is not necessarly the case because theres the whole fair use thing).

We're talking about huge payouts, but I'm getting less than fifty dollars a month with Patreon lol would their team really come for me (a poor grad student) on behalf of a billionaire for getting less than fifty dollars a month to help pay school and medical bills? this would need a huge pr work too to make them seem good after doing something so crazy like this.

Talking about defamation, let's say I change names, but this Tumblr would still be up and everything else would easily show that it's about pilot X, this could still be considered illegal because you can tell who it is about. The reason why nobody comes for rpf is because 1) the money people are talking about is just a few bucks most of the time, and 2) it's exactly this real people's FICTION, there's not much to talk about defamation of a worldwide artist when the content you're sharing is for a nich of less than one hundred people, it's not reasonable. I haven't found a past decision about something similar in the US court, if there is, please send it in, but other than that it's a huge speculation thing in my head, which only a judge could clarify.

Patreon and monetizing fanfiction is quite common in fandoms like Chris Evans', for example, and I haven't seen anything legal come from it yet. again because it's unreasonable for those artists to go after their own fans for taking less than a hundred dollars in content that clearly sets a fictional character that just happens to look and have the same name as them because more often than not it's set in an alternative universe.
