one thing about this season of d20 that is absolutely driving me up the wall is how easily I can imagine Bruce Willis, at the height of his powers, effortlessly channeling Paula Donvaldson trying to pilot his body. it would have been one of the great comedy performances of all time. Oscar-worthy. he had the comedic chops, he could absolutely have sold being a thirsty middle-aged divorced lady security guard suddenly dropped into the body of an action hero!
#never stop blowing up#dimension 20#jack manhattan#not sure who of the current crop of working action hero types could pull it off#like I do think D’Onofrio would absolutely crush Kingskin#so would Vince Vaughn actually#but it’s hard for me to call to mind anyone Current who could embody Paula-as-Jack

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.
When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"
Or
2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.
#epic the musical#epic spoilers#Itacha saga#penelope#Odysseus#Odypen#odysseus x penelope#Young odypen courting was filled with wacky nonsense basically canon confrimed#The line “....where we first met” implying that they first met under that specific olive tree#Which has to have some absolutely insane logistics that only odypen (and maybe Athena) could pull off#Odypen being 🥰 🤝 rat bastards in love#Option one odysseus Athena please please please helpppp me pen said she'd only marry me if I made a wedding bed out of this tree#Athena: once again I think you are praying to the wrong person but fuck it how do you think you're going to keep that tree alive#Odysseus: ....a large bucket?#Athena gimme a sec okay I need to go have ares bash my skull in before I watch something this stupid#Athena: checking in on penelope her chosen weaver only for her to be pulling her hair out#Penelope (to her cousins): why did I fucking say that! Beating fathers already an impossible challenge why did I say that#He's going to think I was making fun of him! He's not going to want to marry me now!#Helen: weren't you? Making fun of him?#Penelope: That's not the point!#clytemnestra: Hey he's digging the tree up and has the biggest bucket I've ever seen#Penelope: what?! Trips over every item in the room and gets tangled in her curtains blushing like crazy#Athena: ....it's been a while since I checked up on diomedes training. He'd never put me through this nonsense#Option 2#Helen's maybe a little nervous and wants to know more about who she has to potentially marry and penelope promises her she'll get rundown#Helen did not expect penelope to disappear but she probably should have....it'll probably be fine. Right?#Some kings penlope just straight up greets some she stays hidden and spies#Odysseus is the only one who catches her (he trains woth Athena in the olive Grove#She was not happy when odysseus nearly tripped onto her spear point face first when he saw the strange pretty girl)#And odysseus who's been king for a few years now knows every lady's face because he'll probably have to marry one of them someday

live action star wars is never going to give us the heartfelt emotional scene of ezra seeing lothal again for the first time, at least not in the way that we deserve. seeing him land on the planet and walking wistfully through the tall grasses, loth cats trailing in his wake; walking through the city with a bit of a heavy heart because these streets and buildings are so familiar, and yet so different at the same time, because the city has grown and thrived in the empire's absence. we're never going to see him crying quiet, joyful tears because he's finally home.
#like don't get me wrong there's a strong possibility of ezra seeing lothal for the first time in ahsoka s2. like i think it could HAPPEN#but i just don't think it's going to have the emotional earnestness that we deserve.#like i trust eman and i think if he was given an earnest honest script and good direction he could pull it off!#but favroni sw tries so fucking hard to be serious that it's never going to have the emotional vulnerability that we deserve!!!!#we didn't even get a HUG between ezra and hera!!!!! and sabine and ezra's hug was SEVERELY lacking that emotional joyful gut punch#live action ghost crew lacks the earnestness that they have in rebels#it's absolutely not the actors fault (and i think they did what they could with what they were given)#but filoni does not understand these characters anymore or what drew people to rebels in the first place#swr#ezra bridger#ashowka#ashowka negativity#this has been sitting in my drafts and since i'm feeling like a hater rn lol

"they sacrificed rand's awesome instinctive daes dae'mar in cairhien in s2" you mean when he [checks notes] hung out at a party going "awwww she must really miss her husband" and completely missing all subtext and hints when noblewomen were hitting on him by telling him their husbands are never home? 😭😭 and accidentally made himself look mysterious by burning a letter to avoid answering it, aka exactly what he did in s2 as well
#this is possibly one of the funniest show critiques i have EVER seen dkfjghk TGH rand is 10000x stupider than s2 rand!#what on earth were you reading if you came out of that book thinking he was great at daes dae'mar#s2 rand is out here catfishing a whole ass forsaken!#TGH rand could never pull that off! show!lanfear would eat him for breakfast!#wot

I know you dabble in the cosplay scene, will there be any Arcane cosplays in the future??
y'know i would've said no because i just don't think i'm suited for ANY of the characters, but i think i could throw together isha for my chill day at mcm in may!!
i'm nowhere near done with my Big one for this con so it's a terrible idea but i'm justifying bc i could actually use my real hair and not bother stying a wig adfjdhd
#ramble#and also those outfits are a logistical NIGHTMARE idk how anyone even starts to pattern anything#there's so many LAYERS#i also just REALLY want to try the makeup bc i think i could pull it off#maybe i'll do a little closet something bc my hair is the perfect colour and length rn#this is one of those 'i would never say this about anyone else but i do think it about myself' thoughts y'know#i don't have Cosplay Face so there's a very specific kind of character i'm comfortable doing#i'm also 5ft tall which means i'm just not very confident doing some characters#and body issues and all that#it's so weird bc i'm so pro 'you can cosplay anything no matter what you look like' but i don't include myself in that for some reason

Writing a character who's a brilliant manipulator is easier than you'd think, even if you yourself aren't a brilliant manipulator.
In order to manipulate somebody IRL you have to know how they think, what motivates them, what sort of things to say to convince them to do what you want them to do, and how to frame it in a way that makes them trust you rather than get suspicious. These are all relatively difficult things to figure out about another person.
However, they're very easy things to know about a character. If you're writing a manipulator's victim, you already know how they think etc etc because you're writing it. You're in control of their backstory and personality. You are god and know exactly what kinds of things would persuade them to take action and what kinds of things would make them distrust somebody.
So all you have to do is go "because the manipulator is so so smart, they've also figured all this out" and feed your own authorial god knowledge into their head. Make it a tiny bit inaccurate & saw off the details so that it doesn't look like the manipulator is psychic. For extra credit, deliberately write in a couple little clues for your manipulator to pick up on that will let the audience go "wow! Look how observant the manipulator must be."
And if you're not showing your characters' thought processes, it's even simpler. You don't have to be able to manipulate a REAL person; you just have to write your character attempting to manipulate somebody, and succeeding at it.
#(I've seen several people go 'I could never write [xyz] they're too good a manipulator they're too smart for me to pull off.')#(you don't need to overthink it!)#writing#about my writing

So minimal school spirits fandom that I now know exists, what do we think about the theory that this whole thing started bc of a science experiment gone wrong?
(I could be misremembering here so correct me if I am) Mr. Martin and Janet died in a fire in what is now the fallout shelter, and in one of the articles they found another student in the class was blaming Mr. Martin for starting the fire and bringing Janet in there with him.
what if
stay with me here
what if, they were doing some kind of research experiment together (hence the chemical formulas in the beginning of Janet's notebook, and the shorthand) that went wrong, and what they'd done of that experiment plus them dying in the room in the fire with it, trapped their souls there.
which raises the question, when Mr. Martin locked her in that room, was it with the watch? was she experiencing that freaking red room thing relieving that day over and over for months? is that what they were arguing about right before Maddie found them? was he making her relive that to try and figure out where the mistake was in their experiment, because he wanted to try and redo or reverse it and that's why Mr. Martin was trying to force her to tell him what she saw?
as far as we know date wise Janet and Mr. Martin are the oldest ghosts, they've been there longest, they could very well be the start of it all.
#this is mostly a joke btw#my brain got a bit caught of mr. martin's “don't pursue this i wish i never had”#and we could tie in the heartbreak theory with it being janets last year in school and her not being allowed to go to college#with her wishing she could just stay there forever and accidentally pulling off some weird science magic thing trapping her and Mr. Martin#idk that ones a leap#school spirits#janet hamilton#mr. martin#school spirits season 2#school spirits theory

I always thought it was the inevitablity of cannibalism but it must be the whole birders thing that has everybody begging the yellowjackets to talk about what happened in those woods. because anybody with two brain cells to rub together could see that if two birders went missing near where the yellowjackets were found that there's probably a connection Especially since they're being so cagey about their time out there
#again I feel like they could have believably pulled off 'we ate each other because we had to but we know nothing about these bird people'#but they'll never make things easy on themselves#carmen.txt#yellowjackets spoilers

sexy himbo jock interpretations of James Tiberius Kirk are silly and do a disservice to the character for a lot of reasons, not least of which is that it fundamentally ignores all the times in canon when Kirk is faced with a scientific discovery or oddity and you can see the effort it takes for him not to clap and skip with excitement. like in ‘the devil in the dark’ when Spock posits that they might be dealing with a silicon based life form and McCoy’s like “but that’s impossible!” and Kirk literally crosses the room to flirt talk excitedly with Spock about the prospect and how it could work! and what it would mean!
What I’m saying is, Kirk’s gotta be smart and a huge dork because how else could he pull a bad autistic bitch like Spock?
#see also:#in arena when the aliens let the enterprise watch Kirk’s fight with the Gorn on that fuckass asteroid#and Spock is like listing the elements present that Kirk could use to build a weapon or make an explosion or whatever#but Kirk can’t hear him! because he’s on a fuckass asteroid#but he still turns around and does exactly what Spock was describing because he’s ALSO SMART AND CAPABLE AND GOOD AT SCIENCE#and like! you just know Spock was like….barely containing his lust in that moment#like your bestie your life partner your other half is out there showing why you’re soooo drift compatible#while also being good at science (your favorite thing)???#I wouldn’t be normal about it either#(I’m very clearly not normal about it anyway)#like you know they’re excitedly sharing science journal articles in their free time because they’re dweebs!! they’re dorks!!#the greatest trick this show pulls off is making you think Kirk and Spock are opposites#when in fact their whole thing is ‘how differently can two people be raised and move through life and still be the epitome of#whatever souls are made of his and mine are the same’#I’m sorry I had a smarter more coherent Star Trek post I was trying to write but I’m not feeling coherent at all#so you get this instead#Star Trek#star trek tos#tos#I’m still in season one so no one correct me if they swerve super hard and never let Kirk be smart ever again after that#let me have this
