#but i promised i wouldn't hate on it

[presidenttyler]

question for anyone with thoughts on the subject: books about true events are expected to be accurate. if you read a book called "the teapot dome scandal" (or whatever) you would expect to read about the events of the scandal.

if there was a chapter in the middle of it that you found out later was completely made up by the author just to keep you engaged cuz he thought you might be bored otherwise - with no notice that it had switched to fiction - you would be mad, right? you would have expected it to be made clear to the reader what is real and what is a fictional insertion. because, even if it doesn't have a bibliography or notes, you expect such a book to be factual, because it's explicitly about the teapot dome scandal which is a thing that really happened. (again, just an example.)

but it's different for tv or movies, when something crosses from book to digital it's immediately accepted that it will be quite fictionalized and inaccurate and that's just how it is. a tv show about the scandal would have fake characters and a total messed up timeline and tons of dramatic license just by default. if you were picky about it people would be like "well just enjoy things."

why is the standard so vastly different? is it because tv and movies are less "serious"? i feel like that's not a popular position - and yet it would seem so cuz otherwise what is the reason that tv is not seen as capable of presenting actual history? i was talking irl about this and my friend said it's because tv has to be fictionalized to be more successful and interesting. but lots of history books are sold to the general public and quite interesting and even the most mass-appeal paperback histories would still be rightfully criticized for freely mixing fact and fiction.

why is tv history supposed to be totally different than written history? it's like taken for granted that history prevented in a visual medium NEEDS to be full of dramatic inaccuracies. i'm struggling to understand this.

Cheeky Daniel based on lovely @hummingbee-o0o 's Picking Lint off the Sofa, which I love dearly. But then again I love everything she writes so eh. Go read her fics if you feel like gifting yourself some unmatched witty writing and feels!!

Oh and a lil sketchy extra because I couldn't resist drawing Armand's outfit as well

I carried this thing for MONTHS with the EXPRESS PURPOSE of putting Raphael in it (knowing full well Larian wouldn't let me do that, mechanically) and I had one major miscalculation.

Wow! Your Ignihyde redesigns are so fucking ugly! So hideous and uninspired, and their ugliness is only amplified by your very poor drawing skills and even uglier art style! And it's laughable how you really believe that you did better than the official designs, never do that again, you can't design or draw for shit.

too late i'm already planning a heartslabyul redesign lmao

"why don't we see laurent's schemes in kings rising? why does he act so helpless, like a puppet?" idk maybe because laurent & damen are no longer friends for the entire first half of kings rising so laurent is back to being completely alone and after prince's gambit he has no idea what to do without damen beside him. maybe bc laurent is not actually the domino master of the series. the regent is. maybe bc laurent is (canonically) behind in the game and the only reason he ever had a chance of winning is literally bc not him nor his uncle can ever predict wtf damen is going to do next. this is textual btw i am not making shit up. just as the "captive prince" is both damen and laurent, the "prince's gambit" is both laurent's and damen's gambit.

Debating on going to a concert in Denver and the first that went through my mind was that'd I'd be in your territory 😄

I promise I'm not pissing on the trees to warn off invaders.

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.

Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.

There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.

And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.

No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.

If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.

Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.

The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).

Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.

Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.

Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.

I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...

Meet ugly with oikawa is so real. This is what I’m imagining

Post time skip Oikawa who’s a big league volleyball player, has adoring fans, girls throwing themselves at his feet etc etc. He doesn’t hate the attention per se. In fact, he might actually like it. He likes the praise, finds himself craving it. One night he’s on his way home, exiting the court after a big game. He bumps into someone, you, and apologizes. Turns on the charm and puts on a grin, only to find you sneering up at him. He apologizes again, pretending not to be off put by your reaction. You respond with something along the lines of “watch where you’re going” and he feels stunned. He’s never been spoken to like that before. He asks if you know who he is, cause there is no chance you’d be treating him that way if you did, and you scoff and say no, asking him if he’s a celebrity or something. Oikawa falls in love immediately.

Not to burst into here and go off

How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3

The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.

Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol

[tio-trile]

Did you hate the season 2 finale? Are you still looking forward for season 3 because of it or are you turned off of looking forward for any tv show good omens from now on?

What season 2 finale? Good Omens has never been adapted into a TV show. I love the book tho!
