someone in the tetro server, i give all my hugs and thanks to you in finding all secrets and terminals to the server, seriously the tetro fandom shoots themselves in the foot so much. <3 you're still loved very much here

thank you lol, im really not feeling good about everything that happened. it sucks because i still really wanna talk to the people in the server and i was honestly having a really fun time talking about staffside with people. i feel bad because i didnt realize that i was making people uncomfortable or that i was coming off badly. idk who im gonna ramble to now that im not with my staffside pals. hope someone works hard at finding terminals and i hope i find another place to be at some point

New Sunny podcast is out and, as teased, it's about the guys' upcoming films, Fool's Paradise and Blackberry, out on 12 May!

Meg showed up at 9:00 which some people might say is late.

Shopify ad is full of Succession references, "Glendall Roy!!!!" and Logan Roy-isms: "FUCK OFF!"

There are a few new clips for the creeps.

Fool's Paradise

Hollywood satire with a focus on persona, ego and stage names, hence why the main character is accidentally named "Latte Pronto" and a passive observer reflecting the surrounding characters' projections.

Explores different sides of the industry with the big cast and spirals into chaos by the end as the ppl behind the stars are revealed

Charlie started on the script during Sunny S10 (~2014) bc he felt certain '70s and '30s style comedies weren't being made anymore.

Felt he'd never be cast in them even if they were

Directed because he didn't want to give up control of his script especially if he was going to play the passive lead without a voice

Influences: Being There (1979) starring Peter Sellers and directed by Hal Ashby; also films by Woody Allen, Albert Brooks, Robert Altman, Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, Buster Keaton, and Charlie Chaplin

Charlie plays the MC but Ken Jeong's character is the protagonist

Movie follows their journey together looking for real relationships in Hollywood.

Reshoots focused on making Ken the heart of the movie

Charlie worried that he was pushing Ken too much, but Ken was willing to do many takes to get to a non-sarcastic heartfelt place

Jon Brion's score is very classic old-fashioned Hollywood and used a lot of old recording techniques to add to the timeless fairytale feel of the movie

Glenn loved Charlie's script from the first draft and every revision

Charlie and Rob, the Original Glenn Girlies, found Glenn and his glacting choice to do a "vaguely European" accent (like Jan?) for his Business Manager character to be the funniest part of the film

Film contains Sunny easter eggs and actors like Peter McKenzie

Blackberry

Glenn was nervous about playing a character based on a real person, especially since he only had 3.5 weeks to prepare and couldn't do as much research as he would have liked.

IRL Jim met Glenn at the Toronto premiere and seemed to approve his onscreen portrayal.

Glenn felt like he lacked film experience where characters have arcs, so it was a challenge to keep track of Jim's anxiety levels through the story while shooting out of order.

Read the script many times and talked to director Matt Johnson about every scene because he didn't have the benefit of being a writer here like he does on Sunny

Worried about being too unlikeable but committed fully to the character because of his experience with Dennis

Glenn played Jim very earnest and sincere, and not at all for laughs — that's where the comedy comes from

Rob and Charlie found Jim to be nothing like Dennis or Glenn because even though they both experience rage, Jim is competent and has a cold killer look in his eyes -> DENNIS IS NOT A COLD CALCULATING KILLER.

Matt Johnson shot with long lenses on gimbals so that the cameras were far away enough for the actors not to know if they were being filmed and what was on screen — this adds to the handheld thriller but kinda comedic aesthetic of the whole film

Charlie was excited that a director finally let Glenn go full Glenn all over this movie and wished he was in every frame

Also wished he was the one directing the movie showing off Glenn

Rob, Charlie and Meg are annoyed that people are so surprised how good Glenn is in this role (we know and agree!) and predict that he will get more roles off this performance

Glenn has a theory on why he thinks things are shifting for the Sunny cast BUT HE DOESN'T GET INTO IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO TIME LEFT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The girlies were all too happy and nice-looking today for me not to screenshot away.

I'm so excited to watch these movies... can't find any showings for Fool's Paradise yet, but Blackberry is playing at my local cinema later this week, and I will be there!

I've noticed people being concerned about Nova and Pluto's height difference so I'mma also state it here that Nova is 26 and 5'3 and Pluto is 24 and 8 feet tall.

Satisfying the "gatherer" part of my psychology by going out and picking wild blackberries in the backyard

[antisociiaal]

"Good enough is the enemy of Humanity" is such an amazing line and I'm shocked it comes from the dramedy about the Blackberry phone.

So uh

Im still a lot less active rn because i just dont feel so great but whenever i do draw something i will keep posting it because it doesnt take too much energy. Ill just probably interact less?

And that is frustrating because i do wanna interact with all of you and i do wanna answer so many asks i have gotten and i do wanna reblog a lot of others art with a buttload of tags to say how cool what they make is but it is just too much rn.

So yea im not as active until i slowly feel better again and also yay hanahaki comic later today (im gonna warn you i have a very loose grasp on hanahaki)

[nervocat]

Hey guys look at the silly little kittens I'm fostering rn aren't they cute :33 (also umm @h2llish ik you wanted to see them so yeah. Here they are!)

New pfp

I missed doing greyscale on bright colors….

[rockybloo]

New people probably think Nova and Pluto are in some dom and brat relationship and I need them to know that that is not accurate.

Nova is a brat...but Pluto is also a brat. And not in the weird sexy way but in the "they both are little shits in other people's lives but when they are together, they try to out 'little shit' the other and it winds up increasing the sexual tension between them both"
