HI BESTIE very excited about seeing ur art :D
could I ask for ur sdra2 sexuality and gender hcs?
Of course! Thank you for the question, “anon.” ^v^
I do plan to post art soon! I might make something quick for Syobai’s birthday on the 3rd as well. 
Anyways, this is my sexuality + gender headcanon list for SDRA2! It includes spoilers for the entire game and notes explaining why I chose the headcanon.
SDRA2: SEXUALITY + GENDER HEADCANONS
Sora - Unlabelled (Both regarding gender and sexuality. Prefers presenting femininely and using she/her pronouns, though.)
Yuki Maeda - Cisgender Questioning (He’s not exactly sure. I ain’t either.)
Mikado Sannoji - Unlabelled (Anything and everything. Couldn’t care less what you call him, or who he finds interest in.)
Shinji Kasai - Cisgender Heterosexual (I apologise Shinji fans. Chapter 6 stuff.)
Syobai Hashimoto - Cisgender Pansexual (He cares more about money than what’s in your pants.)
Emma Magorobi - Cisgender Lesbian (Very closeted. 100% inspired by Good Luck, Babe!)
Kokoro Mitsume - Cisgender Aroace (I don’t think she was romantically interested in Sojiro, and only had a child with him for her experiments.)
Nikei Yomiuri - Cisgender Bisexual (He DOES present androgynous, though!)
Setsuka Chiebukuro - Transgender Lesbian (I think she’s the only transfem I headcanon in the Danganronpa Another series. Just hear me out.)
Iroha Nijiue - Cisgender Pansexual (She doesn’t mind whatever gender her partner is - she prioritises connection.)
Hajime Makunouchi - Cisgender Homosexual (I would make him bisexual but buff gay guy HITS.)
Yoruko Kabuya - Cisgender Bisexual (This is canon! Leans towards women.)
Yuri Kagarin - Cisgender Heterosexual (Also another canon one.)
Hibiki and Kanade are both Cisgender.
Hibiki isn’t interested in dating; she’d be too afraid of losing her partner. Kanade wouldn’t allow it anyways.
Kanade isn’t interested in general. (No explanation aside from the entirety of Chapter 3.)
Teruya Ōtori - Cisgender Pansexual (He gives heavy pansexual vibes, no reasoning needed.)

Right-wingers freak out because Miss France has “woke” short hair
Look up the original definition of “woke” circa 2020 and you’ll find “alert to racial prejudice, discrimination and white supremacy.” Now, for muckraking tabloids and probably Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), “woke” apparently just means “short hair.” Related: Far-right Republicans are now calling Mike Johnson “woke” over LGBTQ+ military provisions Mike Johnson’s views are extreme, but some Republicans don’t think he’s extreme enough. The newest definition comes in the wake of 20-year-old Eve Gilles taking the title of Miss France last Saturday night. The French beauty representing Nord-Pas-de-Calais snatched the crown sporting a pixie cut straight out of a 1990s supermodel lookbook. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our daily newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Promotions (occasional) * Week in Good News (one on the Weekend) * Week in Review (one on the Weekend) * Daily Brief (one each weekday) * Sign Up It was the first win for a Miss France contestant with short hair in the competition’s 103-year history. Eve Gilles, a woman with short hair wins miss france and the tabloids get angry saying the judges have gone ‘woke’ as her hair isn’t long. i feel they’ve gone with a fabulous 80/90 vibe and a look that is strikingly different from the other woman. #MissFrance pic.twitter.com/ho9AcKTPzR— emma woodcock (@Green_Yogi) December 18, 2023 “We’re used to seeing beautiful Misses with long hair, but I chose an androgynous look with short hair,” explained Gilles after the contest. It was a win for “diversity”, she said, adding that “no one should dictate who you are.” The model-thin beauty queen, who grew up wanting to be an equestrian, shared during the contest, “I would like to show that the competition is evolving and society, too. That the representation of women is diverse. In my opinion, beauty is not limited to a haircut or shapes that we have — or not.” “Every woman is different,” she added. “We are all unique.” But not according to the right-wing outrage machine ginning up a controversy that doesn’t really exist. Leading the charge: the UK’s far right-leaning Daily Mail. “Critics said the kind of long hair favored by previous winners – and Gallic female icons such as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve – would have been far more appropriate than a short pixie bob,” snarked the British tabloid, without quoting those critics in particular. The Franco-phobic Telegraph jumped on the scrum as well, describing Miss France as “boyish” and “androgynous”. And according to more than one post on Elon Musk’s X, Gilles’s triumph for “diversity” is just another rigged result of the left’s obsession with “woke”. “Miss France is no longer a beauty contest but a woke contest which is based on inclusiveness,” read one tired take. “We don’t care about her haircut, but the androgynous body is obviously there to serve as woke,” read another. It was left to French-American actress Beatrice Rosen of 2012 fame, and no “woke” fan herself, to disarm fellow right-wing critics with a spirited defense of Gilles. “I understand that there is a real element fed up with the wokism that they are trying to make us swallow 24/7, BUT, in the same way that we can criticize a religion but NOT the faithful, I find the sometimes nasty criticisms regarding Eve unfair and counterproductive.  “Attacking the physical is an attack below the belt, and putting the weight of the total ideological criticism of Wokism on a young woman of 20 is unfair. “This young woman is pretty, and feminine ‘despite’ her short hair. I was and still am an admirer of the singular beauty of Audrey Hepburn, Linda Evangelista, or Jean Seberg, all 3 very thin with short hair, and who nevertheless are female icons who have been adored in the whole world.” Bravo à Ève Gilles pour son élection à Miss France 2024. J'ai lu les critiques et voici mon… http://dlvr.it/T0ZVJ1

With all the corset discourse that's been around for ages, I'm surprised this question hasn't come up as much, to my knowledge: What's your FAVOURITE use of corsets in fiction? We all know the infamously bad examples, but I'd love to see more positive examples of its use (speaking as someone who's been through a LOT of fiction, even stuff I love, that portrays it badly.)
My favorite use of corsets in fiction will always be "present and correctly worn, but not commented on." Because, to be honest, we need to normalize corsets in period dramas.
Not, I hasten to add, make them seem objectively Good For All Who Wear Them. But rather, properly contextualize them in the space they occupied when popular: namely, that of bras today. A practical support garment that some people love and some people hate, but which the vast majority of western women- and some fem- or androgynous-presenting people who are not women -wear. It has physical effects on your body but (despite vast amounts of hand-wringing from the less qualified sort of self-proclaimed "medical experts") none of those have yet proven seriously harmful. At most, it seems, a well-fitted bra can only cause sufficient personal discomfort in some people to induce them to go without, and corsets were likely similar.
And unfortunately I can only think of a handful of Unremarkable Corsetry examples. Emma 2020 comes to mind, and of course my own best-beloved Crimson Peak. The Fingersmith miniseries, as I recall? I think the John Adams miniseries had some Unremarkable Stays, too.
Anyone care to chime in with more?

hihi, I'm crow (sometimes gwyn) could I please request to be one of your playlist match ups? my pronouns are they/it and I'm currently 16 going on 17 in a few months (idk if that last bit matters but I digress). I'm agender and fem presenting but I try to lean more towards androgynous as best as I can, I've been told my style is sort of like the uncanny librarian, dark academia + vaguely eldritch vibes. My personality type is intj 5w4, I'm adhd-autistic and aroace but I'm both romantically inclined, romantic positive and generally speaking on the aromantic spectrum and lean more towards demi-romantic than aromantic? It's weird man, the point is I'm still interested in a romantic relationship to a certain extent and very much open to a potential or even simply theoretically queerplatonic partnership at the very least. I like horror podcasts, video games with interesting story lines, and am over all someone who might be quiet at times but is not shy nor afraid to speak their opinion, I've done enough martial arts and stage fighting to hold my ground in an fight and I can and will revoke your tendon privileges if you're being a dick. (Not you specifically I mean just in general? also anxiety, I have anxiety and chronic paranoia) I hope that's enough and that I did this right and that everything here us useful and/or relevant. If not feel free to delete this ask and go about your way as if it never graced your inbox, I'm rambling now so I'm going to stop talking, please and thank you, love your work, I hope you have a nice day and or night.
𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬' 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭
your match up is: 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐨
Mikey is calm, maybe a little aloof from time to time but very accepting and open for everything -you want to go punch something at the dojo? He is down. You want to show him this new season of your favorite horror Podcast? He will listen to it with you for hours.
It's easy to have him as a lover, mikey acts more like an over grown cat than anything else, really. But that doesn't mean he won't care if you have a panic attack or don't feel too good, mikey is always there for you. He would visit you in the middle of the night or take your call even when he's in a fight if you need him with you. You're his most important person next to his family so you're practically the next addition to the sano family. They even have your favorite food and movies at home.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭
Tumblr media
You're so dark
"She's awesome isn't she?"
Mikey is roughly pulled out of his day dreaming by hakkais question and turns to look at you, at yuzuha who currently sits next to you and holds one of your headphones to her ear to listen the Song you told her about, and then back to you.
He stands a few meters away from you two, surrounded by the youngest shiba sibling, who is as usually fawning over either mitsuya or his sister -mikey doesn't listen too closely- draken and baji. Standing so far away from you and not being able to talk to you irks him. The plan was to bring you to one of the meetings, drive you home and hopefully talking you into letting him sleep over so you two could listen to your current favorite crime podcast.
Well fuck him. He should have known this would happen. The girls, especially Yuzuha, gotten soft on you and now when you tagged along to former toman member meetings you always were in the company of either yuzuha, senju or emma.
"Who is awesome?" He asks hakkai absently while still starring at you. He didn't really follow the development of the conversation after hakkai interrupted drakens monologue about motoroil to talk about the arrival of his beloved sister. Frankly, he doesn't think the blue haired cares if he listens or not, everybody knows that mikey's attention span wasn't the greatest.
"My sister of course? She's awesome because she got y/n to show me how to play this new game I got," hakkai smiled fondly at you and his sister, "and that's pretty cool."
"It's cool that your sister is capable of holding a normal conversation while you can not?" Draken laughs, hakkai blushes and slaps drakens hand away when the taller tries to pat his shoulder mockingly.
Baji seems to say something mean to hakkai, probably to provoke a fight again but mikey successfully drowns out his friends voices again so he can focus on you.
You have your head rested on your knees and look around, listening to yuzuha and the music coming from your left ear. Mikey waves at you to get your attention but you seem to be somewhere else in your mind so he just hands draken his things, who protests but still takes the helmet and bag, and walks over to you two.
When he's in front of you he crouches down to your height and pokes your cheek with his index finger. The reaction comes immediately when you look at him, grab his finger and bend it.
"Stop touching my face, mikey," you say with furrowed brows and yuzuha next to you laughs.
"But I like your face."
"I don't like your face."
"Wow," the blonde twists his shirt right above his heart as if he's hurt and falls back dramatically, "you wounded me. I'll die now."
You get up on your knees and stare down at him for a few seconds before you start smiling. "Good, then I can eat all of your snacks."
You cross your arms over your chest and mikey gasps in fake shock while he smirks back at you from below. He thinks about how beautiful you look from where he sits.
A few hours later you're sitting behind the blonde on his bike, driving through the night a little too fast so you have to cling to him for your own safety. He hopes you don't realize the extra sharp turns he makes to get to hear your, in his eyes, adorable screams whenever the motorcycle bends too close to the ground.
"Y/N?" He asks -screams- over the sound of the running engine. It's hard to talk when he's driving this fast but he is set on finally opening the can of feelings he tried to push down since he met you. Apparently he got a little insufferable the last few weeks, according to draken and emma at least.
"Yeah?"
"Do you wanna go out with me?"
"What?"
"Do you wanna go on a date?!"
"WHAT? I can't hear you."
You sound confused, leaning close to him and pressing your cheek against his neck. When he feels your breath against his ear he short circuits. He nearly maneuvers you two off the road with how hard he hits the handbrake. You make a horrified sound and cling onto him for dear life while the indigo eyed still has to come back to reality. Dazed he stops the bike just to repeat his sentence with a monotone voice. He didn't even realize he got you close to death's doorstep.
"If you wanna go on a date with me. Often. Like regularly. Together."
He turns to you. You smile at him.
"Sure, but don't try to kill me again okay?"
"Really?" He sounds more surprised than anything else, smiles relieved and then bewildered, "wait. What do you mean with killing?"
You laugh softly before guiding his face back to the road. When his back is turned to you again you kiss the back of his head.
"Just drive me home. We can't miss the newest episode of dark!"
Mikey -or now your significant other- mumbles something about being hungry and wanting a real kiss but drives off, a little slower now, anyway.

Could you compare each actress from the two adaptations of Little Women (1994 and 2019) you've been posting about and tell us which portrayal you prefer, their strengths and weaknesses etc? E.g. Why you prefer Winona's Jo to Saiornan's (or the different reasons why you enjoy both) and so on with each actress.
I’ll do my best here Nonnie, but I don’t feel like this will be an entirely fair comparison, given that I’ve only seen the 2019 film (and therefore the actresses’ performances) once, whereas I’ve been watching the 1994 film for over twenty years. But here goes …
Jo March (Winona Ryder/Saoirse Ronan)
I think both actresses did a really good job with this character, and both brought out Jo’s spunkiness, her stubbornness and her lack of propriety. Both performances made me feel like I was watching a character I love come to life. 
I think that Winona captures Jo’s naivety better; it’s easy to forget that she’s only fifteen when the story starts, and she’s still experiencing new things and learning and absorbing the world around her, and Winona’s Jo gets that slight child-like wonderment that Jo has from time to time. Saoirse missed this quality a bit, her Jo came across a bit more mature and serious. Maybe it had something to do with the time jumps and the way we see her more as an adult than as a teen.
I think that Saoirse’s Jo comes across as more tomboyish, but I’m not sure if this comes down to her performance or the costuming, and maybe even her physical appearance. Even though I love Winona’s Jo, her physical appearance is totally wrong. Jo is supposed to look more like Saoirse; tall, slightly lanky, a little androgynous even. Winona is too delicate and petite to truly look the part.
I think both actresses did a good job, but Winona’s Jo is warmer and more vivacious, and there’s just something about her which more embodies the character than Saoirse. Again, this might have something to do with the fact that I know the 1994 better or maybe it’s the writing of the character and not the actual acting (as I’ve mentioned in a previous ask, I feel that Jo’s characterisation in the 2019 film was slightly off in order to work in Gerwig’s meta commentary).
Meg March (Trini Alvarado/Emma Watson)
I don’t know what everyone’s complaining about, because Emma Watson was lovely as Meg. Both she and Trini Alvarado capture Meg’s softness and gentle spirit well. I find Trini’s Meg to be a bit more feisty, but again, I think this is down to the writing of the character, as the 2019 movie plays Meg’s gentle side up and forgets that she can be quite fiery when she wants to.
I feel that Trini better encompassed Meg’s almost maternal role as the eldest sister; she felt like the eldest sister, looking over her siblings and often telling them off and lecturing them. I felt that Emma’s Meg was maybe too passive and in group scenes, Jo actually came across more as the eldest sister than Meg did. But both actresses beautifully get Meg’s quiet dreams down, her gentle stoicism in the face of her more fiery sisters (especially Jo) and the way in which Meg is careful with her words and cares about propriety.
I feel that there were certain scenes were Trini better captured Meg’s emotions, such as the party scene where she misbehaves and allows her friends to dress her up and she flirts and drinks champagne and ends up ashamed of her actions. Again, this may have more to do with the writing, but I really feel Meg’s shame and regret in the 1994 movie, whereas I didn’t really get the same sense of regret from Emma in the same scene.
I think that Trini’s Meg more encompasses Meg’s spirit and fire, but that both she and Emma get Meg’s core values, gentleness and kindness down.
Beth March (Claire Danes/Eliza Scanlen)
I feel like it’s really hard for me to compare these two, because I found Beth to be such a non-character in the 2019 film, and I feel like they just wasted Eliza’s talent. Claire’s Beth is wonderfully timid and shy, she portrays Beth’s compassion and empathy really well, she’s brilliant when portraying Beth’s illness and I just feel that she makes Beth’s character really rich.
Eliza was good in the scenes which actually gave Beth some focus, like when she goes over to the Lawrences’ to play the piano, but like I said, the 2019 film just seemed to overlook a lot of her characterisation and really didn’t give Eliza much to do, and as such, I can’t really comment on her performance.
Amy March (Kirsten Dunst & Samantha Mathis/Florence Pugh)
So, as Older Amy, Florence Pugh blows Samantha Mathis out of the park. The 1994 movie drops the ball a bit when it comes to Older Amy, and the full blame can’t be placed at Samantha’s feet, but Florence much better encompasses Older Amy’s poise and dignity, her pragmatism and her ambition and especially her emotional side. I think that Florence really made Amy more nuanced and layered and she was truer to her book counterpart, which I really loved, because Amy is so often a very disliked character because adaptations don’t take the time to really explore her character.
As Younger Amy, though, no one will ever beat little Kirsten Dunst and her precocious and bratty performance. Florence tried her hardest, she really did, but she just wasn’t believable as a twelve-year-old, and as such, many of her actions came across as a lot meaner, because she looked so much older. Younger Amy needs to be played by a younger actress, in order to make her actions more forgivable, but also to show how much she matures and grows after the time jump.
Kirsten’s Amy is exactly what her book counterpart is; spunky and vivacious, a little conceited and self-important, tries to do everything she can’t, constantly yearning to be a part of her older sister’s lives. I think Kirsten plays her with a perfect blend of brattiness and earnestness, which makes her Amy really likable, despite her tantrums and misbehaving.
What we really need to do is somehow transport Florence Pugh’s Older Amy into the 1994 film, so that we have cheeky, spunky little Kirsten as Young Amy and poised and nuanced Florence as Older Amy.

Adam, Norman & Zazie are part of the same Ratri genetic experiment born at Lambda?
Tumblr media
I know that I have been spewing out wild theories like crazy, but hear me out on another one.
Anime-only ppl pls watch out for spoilers!
So I have joined reddit in order to be able to post my theories there as well so I can discuss them with fans there too. I got back a very interesting comment to my Mujika is demon!Jesus theory, which spurred me to come up with a new theory on the spot.
To be able to give credit to the reddit user, I have screenshotted the convo, please see below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right, here is an illustration of just how easily Norman controls Zazie. Plus look at how their physiques are actually similar.
Tumblr media
We have thought that Zazie may have the paper bag just because his features are too scarred or something, but what if it's put there to hide how IDENTICAL he looks to Norman.
Another fun thought about Adam. Isn't it strange that he is best controlled by VIOLET? Who also eerily resembles Norman and Adam, no?
Tumblr media
You know, I can't help but wonder if there was a test V where they played around with seeing if they can use X chromosome only, but ended up with a quiet androgynous result... Btw, did you know that Violet gets mistaken for a boy at first by Emma? Or that Violet has exceptionally good sight and can even see the seams of the fake sky at Goldy Pond? Even though Emma struggles, or can't?
Hmm, perhaps it's all just a coincidence, but what if it's revealed that Adam, Norman, Violet and Zazie are all genetically related? Would be pretty good I think...
For those wondering how I come up with these theories, my day job is LITERALLY analysing lots of scientific data and looking for patterns and how to understand them...

This is a long one.
I dreamed I was gifted a house, but it didn’t have locks on any of the doors or windows, which made me nervous. I was in the process of trying to temporarily block them off with the help of some friends when a gorgeous, grey skinned, gold eyed man, entered the house from one of the open windows. He called me “Emma” and demanded I come with him, grabbed me despite my friends’ and my best efforts, and flew off.
Cut to me strapped into some twisted kneeling chair in a statue gallery. The stranger fiddled with some mirrors and knobs and all of a sudden I was duplicated 30 times in a line. I could see and feel from the perspective of all of myselves at once, and it was unbelievable disorienting. The man placed a set of electrodes on the temples of each copy, and I asked if the man intended to torture me or something. He flinched at the statement and replied “Of course not! I would never. This is just the fastest way to make you remember.”
Then the electrodes started up and my consciousness was thrown back into someone else’s mind. I was a woman, maybe in the 1800s, taking a walk by the bay with a man a little grayer than most, but with the most beautiful golden eyes. I knew in my own thoughts that this was some relative or earlier iteration of the man who’d abducted me, but someone else’s thoughts were telling me 30 times over that he was a dear friend. I felt his arm in mine, my heart beating faster when he brushed a little closer, my fascination as he described how to navigate by the stars. I experienced an hour of this or so before the memories calmed, I could use my own senses for a time, and I was briefly just one person instead of 30 selves with 30 stronger strangers overpowering me. 
Apparently I was to be given a break from my bonds. My limbs had largely fallen asleep, and I realized I must have been clenching against them the whole time based on how feeble I felt as Ivan helped me to stand. It occurred to me, since he clearly loved me or...well he clearly loved the person he was trying to turn me into, maybe I could use that to my advantage. If I stumbled into him intentionally, maybe batted my eyes a bit, could I throw him off his game? Convince him I was fully brainwashed? I went for it. I let a leg buckle, which wasn’t hard to fake at all, and he caught me in his arms while I made my breath catch in my throat. I gazed up at him, then away, then half back. His expression, clenched in concern for a moment, softened. I reached up to brush a hair from his eyes, let my hand linger on his marble smooth skin. My fingers drifted to jawline, his throat, the back of his neck. He pulled me in, and I pulled him closer. And then I forgot what I was trying to accomplish beyond embracing my beloved Ivan. Everything became a blur, and when my senses returned to me, I was back in the chair ready to learn more about our past.
My friends had not been idle while all this happened. They had tracked us down and just managed to creep into the statue gallery as my training resumed. One held a whip he’d gotten from his car because that’s the sort of guy he is. The other had a sword he’d brought from his garage. As they tried to creep closer, they got a close up look at some of the statues. They were all humanoid, but the figure depicted ranged from a snarling hunched colossus to an androgynous, slight figure armed with needle sharp teeth and a bristling coil of seemingly living hair. The man with a sword noticed that the statues appeared to be made of clay, not stone as he’d thought at first, as evidenced by the raised edges around each word impressed on the back of each one’s neck. They were in various scripts, but the few in the roman alphabet seemed to have some common root. They didn’t dwell too long on this, as they had finally gotten within striking distance of their foe.
One leaped out and crashed his blade down into the man’s skull. Or he tried. The grey man darted clear with time to spare. The swordsman redoubled, but couldn’t manage to close the gap. The grey man sneered at his attempts, not even bothering to strike back. Instead, with every step his features turned sharper, his hair grew longer and courser. When his back had reached a wall, he leaned against it, calm and collected, a good two feet taller than the swordsman. Then he spied the whip man approaching one of my selves. The goliath leaped over the swordsman and jerked his chin up, starting a motion in his main of hair that should not have been able to spiral it out towards the whip man the way it did. The silvery tips flicked against my friend’s hands where he reached for me, and he instinctively jerked away, turning his attention fully on the giant in front of him.
The giant however, looked puzzled. No blood welled up from the hand he’d grazed. His quarry wasn’t doubled over from the poisonous sting. It seemed he’d done no damage at all! His hand drifted to his neck where he could feel the outline of his name, a crucial portion smoothed over where my hand had pressed. In his moment of confusion, the swordsman charged, landing a swipe that scoured the beings back and shortened his hair by several feet. The blow left a shallow scratch in the grey skin with just more grey showing below. He collected his wits and leaped away. However, the whip cracked out and fowled his footing. He stumbled, recovered and lunged out to catch the whip’s wielder by the throat, but try as he might he couldn’t will his fingers to tighten. The swordsman moved to strike, but the creature pulled his captive in as a shield. The captive in turn kicked backwards, causing a stony knee to nearly buckle. Conceding defeat for now, the being pushed the whip man into the swordsman and ran into the night.
Unfortunately, I woke up without a resolution on...you know...my whole status as a brainwashed one-person marching band.
Tldr: I got ultra brainwashed by some sort of reincarnating sexy golem, but I accidentally nerfed him enough for my friends to take him down, maybe.

THE FAVOURITE is a true delicious delight of high-Art entertainment with - and without an ounce of doubt! - the best lineS (all of them!) and delivery made by the 3 fascinating female characters that will suffer no fools, hence the 3 actresses portraying them. They are Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, on top of their games here, being way too good for us to pick one (our favorite!) and so that is why they deserve a "trio award" of some kind. Even though the highlight of the film is the acting, other aspects of the Yorgos Lanthimos latest period satire/dark-comedy are not to be dismissed...
This lavish historical-ish film set in 18th century England, about the behind-the-scene shenanigans happening in the mercurial Queen Anne's court (portrayed by Coleman), is mainly focusing on the story of two cousins fighting to be monarch's "the favorite": Weisz, as Lady Sarah, the queen fierce and sometime scary right-hand woman / confident / truth-teller / whisperer / advisor / only friend and maybe more; and Abigail, played by Stone, the freshly arrived maid, sweet, lovely, helpful and docile at first, we will soon find out that she truly knows how to play this game and might even be more vicious or conniving than her "cousin Rachel" (pun intended as Weisz seemed to reprise a MY COUSIN RACHEL-esque role!) by using her charms (and occasionally people) to her advantage...
THE FAVOURITE is poised to a be a favorite itself this award season and one can make many bets as to how it will thrive...
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Female Actor in a Lead & Supporting Role (and possible winners of the race so far...) The seeming equal amount of screen-time or importance given to the 3 main protagonists is admirable and it is hard to tell apart whose the main one. The film starts with Stone then seems to put the focus on Weisz - casually delivering her lines after lines to perfection looking like a walk in a park - to finally giving us Coleman gloriously inhabiting this queen... Although it appears that the later will be upped to lead in the award race (fresh from her Venice win), interestingly Rachel and Emma might coincidentally have to "fight" for best supporting; one will be satisfied if, in a rare turn-of-event, these two get to share the best supporting award!
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Casting / Ensemble The movie is a real treat already but it is quite an achievement for a film where no actor plays a small part and all act like their lives depend on it; from the "one-liner characters" in brothel or in parliament to the supporting players such as Nicolas Hoult - giving possibly his career's best performance.
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Screenplay Giving credit where its due: the many great lines, quotable dialogue between characters, exquisite bonkers scenes and the comic of situations were bestow upon us thanks to this one-of-a-kind script by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara. These writers really need to be celebrated for this clever, funny and thoroughly entertaining tale.
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Costume Design / Hair & Makeup This is where the anachronism of THE FAVOURITE gets all the more fun! It can be seen from the very detailed dresses & outfits ingeniously blending epoch style with modern details or fabric in order to give the film its unique style and its hint of surrealism veering toward an ALICE IN WONDERLAND. On top of that, the cleverness of this film, its play on genders and its certain brand of feminism, is likewise best illustrated in the costumes, hair style and even makeup. From Rachel Weisz bold and often modern outfit (with a "manly" or androgynous touch), wearing pants while shooting, sporting a scar "that would have make her a dashing or awesomer man if she was one" (or something along these lines!) to Nicolas Hoult or Joe Alwyn flamboyant presumably "feminine" styles and attitudes wearing their wigs and fancy clothes while often trying not to loose face against the terrible cousins; nothing is left unnoticed and the result is a stunning commentary perhaps mirroring our modern predicaments in some way...
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Production Design & Locations Like the costume design, the sets and locations were luxurious - as you would expect from of a solid period film. Shooting in a real castle allowed the visual to take a "grand & noble" stand, abundant in genuine details and where nothing felt "fake" or "paper-thin". A visual opulence bringing to mind  (one of the many) recent Oscars nominees such as THE DANISH GIRL or other well-put-together historical films. It was a admittedly real feast for the eye, where many shots where composed like a painting (thanks to a wonderful cinematography job - Robbie Ryan might have a shot at a nom for it as well) The wallpapers, the many candle lights, chandeliers, the details on floors or ceilings, the paintings donning the halls, the sumptuous garden and flowers everywhere.... And "props to the props" that are not to be left out! (cake and all!! )
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Music & Sound If one thing was a strong or obvious trademark of the director, it was surely the very Yorgos-esque use of sound effect; those disturbing and odd burst of ominous notes, horn +string almost misplaying or dissonant volume-wise and (although "era-appropriate") the music felt at times purposefully either contradicting or highlighting the grotesque of the story. It might be a kind of hit or miss situation, but connoisseur will surely enjoy and appreciate how these audio additions make thing all the more amusing!
*It should be noted that the film features one epic dance scene - also one of the weirdest dance scene in recent years (using anachronism to maximum effect!)
And of course...
Tumblr media
Nomination for Best Direction It would not be right to not recognize the tremendous achievement of the maestro Lanthimos himself! For better or "different" this is surprisingly not another LOBSTER and if his touch is more subtle here there are not many director who excel in crafting insane deranged and droll scenes like him... Guess you can't hide this kind of crazy!
Tumblr media
MORAL OF THE STORY We might say this too easily when it comes to the Greek director but this is a very UNIQUE movie; one may say that THE FAVOURITE could be more "accessible" than his previous films but it does not diminishing its genius and some may even rightfully even consider it a masterpiece ... Although, if only the ending was not so... "typical-Lanthimos" ! 9/10
*Seen at VIFF 2018

A Lifeguards Tale as Seen by an androgynous asshole. Part one
I was on the floor waiting for the other awaiting lifeguards-in-training next to the flagpoles at the aquatics Center where it all started led. It was a hot summer Monday in California. As the minutes passed, more kids filed in and then Fame the lifeguard, Kenny. He was very strict but not too strict that he was intimidating. He introduced himself and he escorted us into the pool area and we put all of our stuff into a small shed .
“This where all the lifeguards put their stuff”, Kenny said. “Now since it's the first day, let's say an adjective that starts with the first letter of our name and our name is we can learn it,” Kenny added. “The only hard part of this is that we have to say the name if the people that went before us. I'll start. I'm knowing Kenny” everyone let out at least a slight giggle. “I'm Careful Chance.” “I'm lazy Lilly.” “I'm rainbow Rei” then it was my turn. I had two options. To say my dead name like it says on the attendance sheet or my real name. I chose to stay safe. “I'm energetic Emma” I regret that . You see, my actual name is Dominique , but I'm not out yet as androgynous so it kills me to say that name. The girl next to me asked “what should I say? I don't know what my adjective for my name should be. My name is Saphia by the way.” “how about Sophisticated Saphia ?” “ That's great! Thanks.” and so on. “I'm average Anton” everyone let out a cheeky giggle. “I'm maybe Max.” “I'm Lord Leo.” “I'm sad sam.” “I'm mediocre Miles.” “I'm exotic Eric” and lastly, “I'm joyous Jo.”
After that we all went to tour the aquatics center. It was hard. After that, we were dismissed to lunch. We all sat in our own groups of one or two. I sat next to Lily. It was nice. She’s vegetarian and she isn’t one of those annoying ones who try to make you rethink your life choices. She was respected by me. After she was done socializing with me, I started to overhear conversations. Apparently Anton, Max, and Leo know each other. Max and Leo are brothers. Have you seen a video of someone on LSD? That was Leo, but the weird part is that he was actually always sober. Anton, Max, and Miles are all 14 and the oldest is Max, his birthday was on the following Monday. Chance and Saphia are becoming very good and energetic friends. Lily, Miles, and I are more on the quiet side than everyone else. At 12:30, we went to a field with Kenny and played dodgeball. Guess where I was at. I didn't comment because I haven't heard of anyone talking about being open to sexualities and identities yet so I can't say anything for fear of being beat up. After the tournament, we went to one of the three pools and swam for roughly an hour. We had a swimming test to see how good our abilities are. I was slow like a smith compared to others. After the bombardment of tasks that were demanding, we went to change the lanes in a second pool. In the most part it was easy; take the lanes and put them on the rack. I cleaned up a bit by putting away some of the supplies . It was fun. When I got home I was tired . Exhausted even. I sleep well that night .

Are you still doing the meme thing? If so, how about 17 (or 18, maybe), 26, 43, 45
First off: I’m ALWAYS doing ALL THE MEMES I’ve ever reblogged. Heck, if you ever want to send in something from a meme I reblogged three years ago, you can absolutely do that. Just… y’know, maybe include a link to the post :P
17. Any OC OTPs?AHJSGFDJAHGSD Absalom and Severin. I did not expect that at all, but hey, it’s a thing now, and I love it.
18. Any OC crackships?Crackships in my hands usually don’t stay crackships for long. I shipped Cathy and Rena in Ghost Stories pretty hard, which started out as ‘ha yeah rrrright, like they’d ever actually…’ and then very quickly turned into ‘… well shit.’
26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?Not really… though I have elected to change a few names, because I accidentally chose ones that were already taken by somebody reasonably well-known. That’s a thing that happens occasionally - but so far I always caught it before I got too attached to the name in question, so that’s fine. 
43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess.I actually think I answered that one ages ago, but I can’t be arsed to search for that post, so… yup.They’re usually a tad on the androgynous side, with hair that’s at the very least long enough to be fluffy. I think the character with the shortest hair (random background characters aside) is Oliver the Intern (whose hair is a tad longer than Paul McGann’s in Withnail and I)… or, if we’re talking main characters, Valère.They tend to be short-ish - read as, around 165cm / 5′4″ (which, coincidentally is the height of their writer) or somewhere in the 170-177cm range (5′7″-ish to 5′10″), which is tall enough to be… taller than I am, but not tall enough to register as REALLY TALL to me personally. They frequently have dark hair and eyes, unless I deliberately go for a different look. They also tend to have hella cheekbones, mostly because it’s A Look and makes shading faces more fun *shrugs*They are usually either quite young (early-to-mid-20′s) and have a somewhat uneventful (or at least angst-free) backstory or are in their 30′s and have a considerably more dramatic backstory. For some reason, Elliot falls into the former category, and Gus into the latter. I don’t get it, but hey.Their backstory frequently includes a dash of dramatic irony that makes them utterly unfit for whatever position they occupy. Their outfits are usually pretty simple: underwear + pants + shoes + some sort of top + vest or jacket + probably a scarf. For the most part, I just don’t know how to fashion. Colors tend to be warm and/or muted - even characters who have a bright color at the very center of their design (Gus - purple, Jaime - red, Elliot - yellow) get some muted version in the final design (Gus - something warm and dark, frequently plum, Jaime - dark-ish red, Elliot - Eggshell yellow).
45. A character you no longer use?Feo, Sharkie and Camilla from the Treasures castJames, also from the Treasures cast, but I haven’t ever posted a picture on tumblr as far as I know.Maccie and Fred, who never had a story of their ownSternchen and Emma (”supervillain” (read as: harmless but slightly annoying Chaotic Neutral/Good) and the detective who tries to catch her).Most of them are really only temporarily misplaced, and it’s quite likely that I’ll dig them out for something in a few years.

It's like, I can appreciate them not wanting to have too many messy stories with Northstar & Kyle and Billy & Teddy, because those are such big milestones in marvel's gay representation n gay marriages in cape comics aren't exactly all that common.
But like... we have those healthier relationships now! You don't need to basically neuter Herc & Noh'Varr to avoid being Problematique, you know? Herc is still a recovering alcoholic and still has anger issues and is also 3000 years older than Noh'Varr is , like their relationship is going to be a little messy! at the very least allow Hercules to be visibly GNC like he was before when he was wearing his little miniskirt and thigh high boots, at the moment they do basically just echo what billyteddy has been reduced to, large masc man and smaller, slender more androgynous twink. I want messy gays and I want horny gays! If we can see the whole drama of Scott & Emma & Jean & Logan for an umpteenth time we can allow Noh'Varr & Herc to at least be a little interesting?
Anyway. i still maintain Gilgamesh & Hercules is a good ship of two fellow large beefy immortals dating 😤😤
im such a hater i literally cannot bring myself to care that much abt noh'varr & herc maybe i just hate twinks but they're like, an even less interesting billyteddy i currently. they appear maybe once a year there's zero focus on them on characters or what their dynamic... actually looks like. it's just so. bland.

OUaT 7x02 – Thoughts & Observations
“I’ll send an SOS to the world; I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle.”
           - The Police, Message in a Bottle
Ugh, seriously? We’re back to this bullshit? I thought we were done with the realm that shall not be named. But no, instead we’re going to be reminded of it on a weekly basis. Or at least I will be, because my anger over that entire plotline is unflagging.
But I am talented in unhealthy avoidance techniques, and will likely continue on because (1) I am a glutton for punishment, (e) Colin O’Donoghue’s face, and (!) I can’t stop myself from trying to puzzle this show out. Hi, my name is Joanne and I can’t get OUaT.
 Random Thoughts:
I was not prepared to say goodbye to Killian Jones, he of the multiple redemption and hero arcs. It was that and the high expectations I had for a story written by Jane and Jerome that left me in a pit of despair after the episode was over. I’ve gone through my stages of grief, I am almost at acceptance, almost.
I am relieved that CS have their happy ending/beginning together in SB. While I’m in the they don’t need a baby to be happy camp, it’s a fine development and everyone’s fic with a CS kid post-S6 is perfectly valid and canon compliant. So there’s that!
I know that many viewers, including myself, took Emma and Killian’s concern as an implication that they had a difficult time conceiving, maybe even suffering a miscarriage at some point. I’m going to go the lighter route and assume that Killian’s penchant for leather pants and skinny jeans slowed down the baby making process, which is why we saw him show up in the alt!EF in regular blue jeans.
I loved how Killian jumped into action and was instantly stabby as soon as he and Regina showed up in response to Henry’s call. Struck me as a very strong parental instinct to go on the offensive like that when you get a distress call from your kid.
Emma tells Henry that she has to give Henry what he gave her – family, and she starts by giving him Hook 2. Then Henry keeps Regina – and no one in SB is complaining because obviously Regina has absolutely nothing in SB and can walk away on a whim, what else do you do with a middle-aged woman with no spouse or child to look after?
I’m bitter because I can’t believe A&E or J&J put me in a position to feel defensive over Regina.
Interesting that being in the alt!EF meant that Regina and Emma’s magic wouldn’t work. But here’s the thing, Regina’s use of magic in the beginning showed us two things – her magic worked when she was protecting her TL, but didn’t work when she was to cast a locator spell. Subtle foreshadowing of what was to come later with Emma and Hook 2.
 Hook 2 using Killian’s blood to become him may have created a deeper connection than simply surface appearance. So not only was Emma able to connect to him by recognizing the man he could be, used to be, but maybe whatever it is that makes TL a physical manifestation was also able to recognize something in Hook 2 because of that blood connection? I’m not being clear, but I think this blood connection and TL is going to come up again for Hook 2 and his daughter. I am really leaning toward the daughter being created using some form of blood magic.
So Hook 2 has a daughter and now we’re going to be following his story. In a way, it makes sense, it allows CS peace and to continue living their happily ever after without unnecessary angst and separation. I just don’t know if I feel as invested in Hook 2 as I was in Killian Jones.
I had work it out in my head when Hook 2’s path diverged from Killian. I’m going with the wish realm diverging at the point of the flashbacks in the Cricket Game – in the wish realm Snow’s attempt to banish Regina worked, and she was no longer a threat to them from that point on. Therefore, Hook 2 never sang with Snowing and did not kill his father to leave Liam 2.0 an orphan out for revenge.
“I’ve always tried to do good.” Where did that come from with Hook 2? Did he turn around when his daughter was born? Was that his “you can be a part of something” moment?
I’m assuming his fall back into darkness was when his heart was poisoned/cursed and he was stopped from seeing his daughter. I’m just… ARGH!!! Another Hook redemption arc? Yeah, I’m still not quite over it yet.
Hook 2 roaming the realms looking for TL to cure his poisoned/cursed heart and then trying to use Killian’s connection with Emma for that purpose tells us what? That Hook 2 thought himself incapable of TL, and maybe now feels guilty that he didn’t try hard enough or believe in himself enough to save his daughter? That now that he has his second chance he will fulfill his role as his daughter’s white knight?
I like the carry through to HH and seeing that Rogers does not like hearing Henry’s daughter referred to as a vulnerability.
Roger’s curse memories of Emma are not too far afield from the truth. Their cursed personalities aren’t too far off from their true-selves either. Very unlike Regina’s curse when she tried to suppress people’s true selves. We’ve seen how Jacinda isn’t afraid to push back against Victoria, how Rogers, Regina, and Henry were able to come together easily, and how Rumple is on the periphery of that as well. So was the curse cast for evil intent or not?
Ok, so I think I called it last week with Weaver being the one to get Rogers promoted and reassigned to him. I’m sticking with my theory that Rumple knows what is going on and is more involved in the curse than we think at this point. It was more heavy-handed in this episode, mainly because there was more Weaver in this episode, but I’m fine with a Rumple that plays on both sides of the fence. I’m wondering if Weaver’s relationship with Victoria is a case of keeping your enemies close?
Interesting that Weaver was not included in the final scene with Roni, Rogers, and Henry.
 Also interesting that Weaver doesn’t push Roni when she says no, not the tactic we’ve been lead to believe he usually follows.
The shot of Weaver and Rogers from behind the bookcase in Henry’s apartment was great. The view of them was slightly obscured, Rogers is in the light, Weaver is in the dark. I like how it framed their characters at that point in time.
 The matching denim jackets of Rogers and Weaver, was there a Starsky & Hutch in the alt!EF?
So Weaver was testing Rogers’ moral core, why?
 Hook 2 is very good at strategizing, probably all the chess, but Rogers was way ahead of Weaver when he thought to grab Henry’s keys before they left the apartment. Not a surprise that Rogers has a healthy distrust of Weaver and can look out for himself.
 Random Observations:
Why are there no evil Kermit memes with Hook 2 in the hood confronting Killian?
Captain Youthful!
I also liked Killian referring to Hook 2 and his existence in the realm to be ignored as a bad dream, not real, a cracked mirror, and a twisted version of the truth.
Why do LT and Tiana jump to Henry being in love with Cinderella/Jacinda? They’ve known each other a total of ten minutes.
THE HAND!!!
Henry is a total hipster.
“I gotta hop.” “You must have a fairy godmother somewhere.” Tiana gets all the good lines.
Lady Tremaine uses that wand a helluva a lot for someone who doesn’t rely on magic.
Ok, but what did Gabrielle’s teenage daughter think about her mother getting all up in Colin’s face like that?
Tune in next week when Weave tests out his Welsh accent!
The Nancy Drews! Even before Weaver pulled the book off the shelf, I knew what they were by the yellow binding. My dad bought me one a week for a little over a year when I was kid. I’m getting teary just thinking about it…
Henry looking for buried family and “keeps hitting dead ends”? Yeesh
Ivy wearing a green shirt with fleur de lis in her first scene with Jacinda – green for a reason?
Jacinda can save herself. We get it, we’ve also heard it before.
How exactly did Hook 2 wind up stabbed?
Emma does have a little bit of a bump when they’re sitting on that log.
Why is Killian so angry when he throws that bean? Does he know Emma has terrible aim when it comes to portals and he’s worried she might run on the wrong side of it?
Henry creeping on Cinderella’s bedroom.
Of course Killian has another magical method of communication. Shellphones, messages in a bottle, does he keep a coop for talking seagulls on the Jolly Roger as well, enchanted semaphore flags?
Ok, Killian and Regina discussing Emma was about 10x more overdramatic than it needed to be.
Emma is “the mother [Henry] wanted, a hero.”  That’s gotta be a kick in the gut to Regina.
God damnit Henry, operation glass slipper is still going on and now you’re staring operation next chapter? Get your shit together kid.
Colin wetn super-irish at the end when Rogers was telling his story to Henry, yes?
Were the hair extensions for Emma totally unnecessary? Or are saviors like Samson and lose their power if they get a haircut? Wait, is that why Rumple got a haircut at the beginning of s6? It was a hint that he was a powerless savior?! AHA! I’ve cracked the code!! Sorry, there are certain storylines I will never not be bitter about
Why is Tilda Swinton doing adverts for Lyft? Someone write an androgynous preternatural character for that woman stat! Speaking of, I need to rewatch Orlando, it’s been way too long…

Don’t pay any attention to assholes who try to bring you down. Keep your chin up and know that whatever feelings you have are valid and completely normal.
60. What advice would you give a girl who is struggling to come out?I understand that it’s scary and difficult. I know that I had to just do it, I couldn’t hide it anymore. I felt like I was lying to myself the more I hid it. If the climate that you live in is not safe for you to come out that’s valid. Try to find some support from other people from the community. We are very open about helping anyone who is struggling with coming out. I know I am, at least. Just be safe and be true to yourself. Never apologize for your life, or anything that makes you happy. You are loved.

so im gonna do abt lynn and then abt how lynn and bee go together + what kinda relationship they have 
lynn is nonbinary probably and uses they/them + is androgynous and gorgeous, the kinda person u see in ur dreams and hope is real, or see on the street or on the bus and wanna befriend bc they look so pretty and fun, and they have a soft, nice smile that u could fall in love with 
they work in a grocery store and if u ever hear them laugh, ur basically blessed for life bc gosh it’s incredible and the best sound youve heard. they have pink fluffy hair and a big nose w big lips 2 match and u feel like ur really existing and understood when u meet their green/brown eyes. theyre usu pretty quiet and distant if they dont know u, but if u do know them, they’ll be pretty open and lax w u. lynn loves their alone time, but is also chill w just sitting together in silence, and occasionally they will show u one (1) whole meme or cool thing 
they wear a lot of monocolor outfits, like diff shades of blue or green, with occasional black and other colors splashed in if theyre feelin it !! sometimes theyll plan outfits but usu they just throw on whatever and naturally look amazing + seemingly well coordinated
lynn has troubles trusting people tho, so if they dont already know u, theyre gonna b a lil hostile (yrs of customer service has given them animosity towards ppl, probably. and last time they trusted someone new they got burned badly over it.) they know of emma and r kind of like a sister to her, since theyre dating olivia + was around a lot. they like to be held a lot, and to hold, so oliva and them cuddle v often and watch movies or listen to music, or sit at parks + go on picnics and lay in the grass
some v wholesome stuff, i love them and cherish every moment they spend together lynn wants to be a big sister to emma a lot bc of Reasons (they had a little adoptive kind of sibling, but was just being used by her, partially why they don’t trust ppl as easily now.) they tell emm that if she needs to talk to anyone, theyre always there, and sometimes comes over just to hang out w her and catch up. they like drawing a lot and will often just sit and doodle together, gives emm some tips and encouragement, sometimes even a nice hug (which theyre gettin better and better at giving, and sometimes gives them rly great. just tight warm hugs that make u feel alive and safe and loved and give u hope that things rly will b ok) and ruffles her hair 
now for bee and lynn!! 
they dated for 7 months a couple years ago, before lynn and olivia got together. they were sharp edgy teens trying to be bad and sharp to the world, and it got to be too much for them both. there was lots of crying, and they were definitely conflicted about breaking up, and it was rly hard for a bit, but theyre better off for it. they’re good friends now, and play mini-golf on weekends. they spent a lot of dates getting coffee and sitting on buildings, goin to places they shouldn’t, and causing mischief. they almost got arrested once bc they went swimming after night + rly had to put on the waterworks that they came from their parents property and thought the lake was part of it. they had a lot of fun and were close, but it wasn’t healthy to rely so heavily on each other as a fix to themselves and all their problems theyre both a lot more open and talkative + expressive and honest of their feelings and needs, and r better off now. theyve got friends + more support than they ever did, and r in much better places. 
when they hang out now, they like to jam out and collab on songs and art, and eat snacks, sometimes make snacks!! like nachos or homemade pocky or cupcakes and such !!every so often, one of them will b having a rly bad day and will need to get away from it all, so they have a sleepover + cuddle and watch whoever’s fav movie, and share the bed so they sleep ok, and get brunch the next morning/afternoon
im torn between keeping them friends and having them get back together, bc a rly nice platonic relationship would b cool bc not everything has to b romanticized or sexualized, but also theyre rly great together now + my poly ass needs representation 
thank u so much for asking tho!! part of figuring out lynn was makin this post, so u helped shaped them a lot, and i super appreciate it bc i was havin trouble w them. im sry it took so long tho + hope u still see this
