#c'mon talented faves!!!!!!

[destinyc1020]

Tom's fans are different, but they speak the facts. It's absolutely normal to want a successful project for your favorite actor because his work and talent should be recognized. It's also normal when you want to see activity on Tom's part. Sometimes some of Tom's fans are negative, but in many ways they are honest, to me they are much better than some hypocritical TZ fans who claim to be equally staned Tom and Zendaya, but in fact they are Zendaya's fans first and foremost. By the way, your theory is very interesting and I think to some extent I can agree with it. But at the same time, it amuses me how sometimes you are too optimistic or do not notice serious problems with some things related to Tom

I mean, I don't mind if fans are honest about their faves. I've always said that I'm 100% honest here on my blog about how I feel about a variety of people and topics. 🤷🏾‍♀️

But to me, it seems as though some fans of Tom (notice I said SOME) can be a bit harsh on him, or complain about things that in the grand scheme of things, really aren't big deals in the long run. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Or, they'll make blanket negative statements that aren't even true, like, "it's normal to want a successful project for your favorite actor" (as if Tom hasn't had MULTIPLE successful projects already?? 🥴🤔), or, you"want to see activity on his part" (as if, we don't get Tom content either through himself, friends, and or family on a REGULAR basis). Look, some actors out here don't even have social media at all, or never post, or don't have their parents posting content about them. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Yet, ppl are still their fans.

I've already made peace with the fact that we're not going to get the same social media happy Tom that we got in 2017. I've made peace with that with both Tom AND Zendaya tbh. If smthg harms my fave and their mental and emotional health, I'm not going to be upset if they're not posting on social media.

I will agree with you that a lot of Tom's fans are actually fans of him by extention of Zendaya, his gf. But he can't help that. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Their stars happened to rise at the same time due to their Spiderman movie that they were in together. Many fans of Z were fans of her BEFORE she got to the level that she is today though, but it's not a bad thing imo?

But at the same time, it amuses me how sometimes you are too optimistic or do not notice serious problems with some things related to Tom

I just feel like Tom's fans are a bit hard on him, and undermine his success already in the industry all the time (his R&J PLAY sold out in like 2 hours!!!) Like, c'mon. 😏

And what "serious problems" are there related to Tom exactly? Is he on drugs? Is he wilding out? Does he look depressed? Is he looking homeless? Has he lost a ton of weight in a short amount of time? Is he acting crazy out in these streets? To me, those are "serious problems" and signs that an actor is going through smthg. All the other stuff you've mentioned aren't "serious problems" imo Anon.

Yes, we all want great things for our fave actors, and of course we wish them the best! 😃 But unless there are some serious issues going on in that actor's life, we need to know our place as FANS, and let an actor live his (or her) life! Actors usually only film about 1 or 2 films a year (if THAT), and the rest of the time, they're working bts, negotiating other future projects, promoting current projects, or simply just taking a break. When you're at Tom's level of success, you can afford to take longer breaks if needed. He's been working and going non-stop for over 7 years. If the man wants to take a break, his fans should be okay with that. Jmho 🤷🏾‍♀️

[evocatiio]

do you ever just see actors have such little chemistry and feel bad because they really are trying their best but it's simply not giving

[gardenerian]

honestly, every excuse not to do the laundry is a good excuse - no ac being one of the best, if i'm asked. but i almost ran out of clean shirts, so there's that :')

ANYWAY

since ao3 is working again, to better topics- gushing over fanworks, because, well, i'm well and truly obsessed with everyone's fucking TALENT over here in this little corner. although, to be fair, you probably know a lot of them already? i'm always late to the best parties, but here goes nothing-

i am still working through things beyond mistake, because?? the premise got me hooked. mickey in especially is beautifully written and i can't. get. enough of it. also, PJ is a badass fucking friend and right for, well, all of *gestures* it.

wait, lemme grab the open tabs for more-

AH, YES, HOW COULD I FORGET, i still gotta catch up on these foolish games, because, c'mon, this just gotta be good. also, love me some "unknowingly texting and it going okay, but hating each other face to face until they realise" (what a genre.).

like a good tumblrian (is that even a word) i of course gotta read your question has been received. just. c'mon. the idiots as tumblr users? how do y'all feel being the geniuses you are.

old man that i am, too, you found me, you knew me's hopefully gonna feed my need for some good old soulmate au (just like @whatthebodygraspsnot's sweetpea. this one's gonna have me dead for good at some point, the WARMTH of it all.)

also, ALSO, i scheduled rereads for both @squidyyy23 's dancing after death and @gallawitchxx's exception to the rule, because i deserve a treat and these two works in particular are pure serotonin to go, topped off with some golden shit i can't name but also can't ever get enough of. and also because squid and bee deserve all the love they can get, i'll die on that hill a thousand times.

(meh, i hope all the links are right and working.)

and there's probably a shitton more on my list right now, but this has gotten long already, and with everything going on i probably won't be able to read all of it anyway - even though y'all make it so worth it every second. some days(tm) are ahead; i'm a procrastinating farmer and these works are my tools. anyway, all love and flowers to you🌼🌾🍀

(also, patiently impatiently waiting for the irish revolution au-)

holy fuck nosho you came through!!! i have not read all of these yet! many of them are on my list to read (literally, i made a spreadsheet aslkjdfh), and with your recommendation i will be sure to get to them ASAP 🥰 YES hating each other face to face while falling head over ass in love online is one of my all time FAVES, sign me UPPPPP!

as a macy stan i am SO THRILLED about today’s yqhbr update! @celestialmickey is a blessing 😇 she has given us all a gift today! 

also HELL YEAH sweetpea! i need to catch up! that fic is SO clever and fun, i am enjoying the hell out of it. you absolutely deserve the serotonin of squiddy and bee words - we are so lucky to have such wonderful, lovely people sharing these stories with us! golden! so true! 

love love love love love love to see you drop by my sweet! ty for sharing these links! my spreadsheet runneth over! 

irish AU is coming… chapter one is complete………. i am fixing her up 😇

[saintobio]

Jeez, reading your responses and listening to the series playlist I have concluded some things:

1) Sera-girl needs some slappin' 😀🩴. She needs to wake 👏🏻 the f 👏🏻 up👏🏻 if she's really worth fighting for, she could've been "the wife" rn and not the mistress lurking in the bgs. He won't even publicize his r/tship with her, c'mon! And Toji! Gosh he's not even my fave but his interaction with Y/N there gave me goosbumps like that's the interaction I've been waiting for right there! 🤲🏻😩

2) I get this creeping feeling that Sera could possibly get pregnant 😲 when she does it with drunk Gojo who forgets who he's bangin' (like, not your wife yo🤨) and when Y/N finds out, that's gonna be the last straw 😀

3) I hope Y/N files a divorce once she becomes the CEO and since she's a literal angel 🥺 she'd probably tell Gojo's dad to let him still be the CEO despite all that to keep the partnership with her fam (otherwise it's a NO for them and a YES to Zenin partnership 🤩) and to not lay a hand on Gojo and Sera anymore (hope she does this even if they don't deserve it, so they'd get off her back😠 Like "I'm setting you free with privileges" thing)

4) Of course, Gojo may not want that 'coz (he's greedy af😠 jk 😅) he wanted to keep Y/N his wife for reasons 🤷🏻‍♀️ but hopefully Y/N doesn't want to stay anymore and she tries her best to ignore, be cold/distant to him if he ever tries to get her back 😀.  -🌾anon

5) Oh her chest pains? I get whatever she's feeling just by reading this, esp about THE SHOES mf made me feel those chest pains! 🤣 You're so good at this my heart hurts. I'm fine tho, Gojo from the other fic series I'm reading is an absolute sweetheart, I'd marry him anytime 😍 so I'm really fine letting go of SN!Gojo😌 JK✋🏻I'll still fight for him ig 🙄. BTW I learned about broken heart syndrome from my med-surg class back then🤓 It's rarely fatal and the patient can recover from that for a few days or weeks away from THE stress 👀 If that's what it is, then she's probably gonna be fine. It does have similar symptoms with the actual heart attack so it's still quite concerning. But if she's really sick, what if Gojo wanted to see her but no one's letting him??? Lol suffer, sir. 😌

These thoughts were just sittin' on my notepad 'til asks are open 😀 Just want you to know that I'm glad I found another series where I'm actually interacting because I'm generally a silent reader and shy af🙈. Anyway, thank you for sharing your talent with us! Take care of yourself, please -🌾anon

there were so many points i didn’t know which to reply to jsnsj but thanks for sending this!! it was very interesting to read abt ur theories, they actually gave me chills 👀 i’m sure the other readers would love to take a look as well

[honeysahi]

dude please, for the love of god vote properly

and by this, i mean fairly! we all want our faves to win, but this isn't a popularity contest, it's a show in which the most talented, artistic, etc. should win. and i've seen so many people state they won't vote for x bc they're the biggest competitor or whatever.

Just wait, see the performances with an open mind, and vote for who you think deserves it BASED ON THAT.

i mean c'mon even mnet is trying to make it fair

Besides, if as a strategy some fandom decides to vote only for these other two groups who they don't see as a threat, and they end up winning i would laugh so hard 😭😭😭

[tracymartelinthehouse-blog]

Why are some people bothered by the remote possibility of -even just momentarily- replacing Raja and Raven on fashion photo ruview? they've been running the show for what, 4 years now? don't you think it's time for someone new? Years go by, we get to see new talented queens every year: fans of dr wanna see THOSE queens tooting and booting, the new ones, not two queens who were on tv 10 yrs ago. I'm not being disrespectful, I'm just being realistic. And dont even try and tell me that Raja and Raven are the best fashion queens or any shit like that, cause they're not the only ones. Violet, Aquaria, Miss Fame, Naomi, Pearl, there are soooo many other talented, high-stylish, fierce queens. Just because Raja and Raven were on the show before them you think they're better? thats ridicolous. And as much as I can understand why many of you want Raja to keep hosting the show (cause yeah, she's pretty funny and open-minded and she has an amazing style)... I rly cant understand why you like Raven. I may be a little biased, I dont like her for many reasons, but in all honesty she is the WORST choice for a show like fpr.

1) she's NOT a fashion queen. Ok her mug is nice, but her fashion? basic. Every single one of her outfits on season 2 was boring and shitty. Idk how she made it to thw top 2. And she doesnt know the fashion references.

2) she's biased and close-minded. only toots the girly and draggy (and by draggy I mean outdated ) outfits

3) She is not funny. Honestly, she's boring af. Doesnt know how to make jokes, doesnt laugh very often. She seems quiet and... idk, cold. Maybe she's just uncomfortable around Raja.

4) her """chemistry with Raja""".... is just not there. They're like collegues. they've shared the same stages, but it doesnt mean they're bff or have chemistry duh? they are just too different. Raja is chill. Raven is picky. Raja is fun, Raven is cold. Raja is open-minded, Raven is not.

And ugh their styles. Raja is high-fashion, Raven's fashion is highly CHEAP. How can they run a fashion show together when their styles are from two different galaxies? They look like they dont know each other, like they dont wanna be there together. When Raven is speaking Raja snorts, rolls her eyes, looks like she's thinking "omg can you shut up?". And the latest episodes of fpr with them together were horrible. They never have that much chemistry but in the last 4-5 episodes together they were not even trying/pretending. They can be shady and they know how to throw shade at each other but c'mon, all queens do that. It would be so much better if it was like Idk Raja and Manila? at least they're actual bff. Manila is an actual fashion queen and her relationship with Raja is great. Or Violet? she's a goddess. Aja? Raja often said they're great friends. Aquaria? she's everybody's fave now and she's the reigning queen. I could go on for hours. Anyone would be better than Raven. She's not the right person for that show, and her relationship with Raja is lackluster.

There are some people on this site ( @only1sh0e @sdr19899 @allthemodernthings and many others) who are obsessed with their friendship, with their "interactions" and thats so amusing, they're basically supporting a non-existing friendship and getting excited for some boring, trivial interactions. I know those are your faves but cant u just accept the fact their time on the show is over?? Goddamn

[unnaturaleye]

heyyy again! dw i understand loool when someone asks me why i like any of my ults across any groups my brain just goes bee bop fdhsfjkd i agree, everyone in monsta x IS goofy talented and deadly, they're so good individually but together they are so powerful.

i would say i like jooheon because 1. very cute (those dimples?? c'mon!!) 2. he as this incredibly powerful stage presence but when he's off stage he's so silly and hyper i love that there are so many sides to him. 3.) great rapper! puts so much love and passion into making music, which is so admirable! 4.) did i mention the dimples fdjflds

ummm I really love Ride with U, Rush Hour, Just love, I got love, Night View, Gasoline, Alligator, Myself, Jealously and I could go on and on and on and on so I'll stop hahah! Which songs are your favs? Do you have a fave era? Also SORRY for the 3 separate asks! This is your monbebe valentine <3 i'm on desktop right now since i can't get to my phone rn <3

dimples are indeed one of his most deadly weapons you are so right 🤕 and i'd add his eyes... idk i just think he has the prettiest eyes ugh 🙄😒💕

and omg his fancams are my fav thing for sure.. he's completely insane when he's on stage and all of the facial expressions??? i am deceased.

oooh those r some god tier songs ehehhe

and yeah same! choosing only a few tracks is so hard, my playlist with my ultimate fav mx songs has like 50 kajsdhjsakhsdkj

butttt... if i... haddddd ttttto...

nobody else, thriller, my beast, black swan, diamond heart, re:verseday, rodeo, play it cool, destroyer, burn it up, oh my, zone, chaotic, got me in chains and mercy :^)

on that note i didn't include any of the title tracks because i love all of them ashdkjashdkj

and for the era... i tend to always point out the era i became a fan - in this case it's alligator.... it's been years and she's got me in complete chockehold, i cherish and adore every little bit of it. good god it's so great.

and after it... i guess i will choose:

follow - the concept and styling were sick. i was very obsessed with the album too ehe

gambler - i mean again the mv was bonkers and some members got to shine more since we started to get this sweet sweet perfect line distribution

rush hour - last era always gets to be mentioned.. again their music just evolves into more insane mindfuckery (affectionate) and i love seeing my men slay and kill us all yeehaw. (bonus points for got me in chains and mercy because these songs are phenomenal)

obviously the same question back at u ajksdhjakshkjsd

and on top of that... fav jooheon's looks ??

[mailorderfictionalcharacter]

Malcolm Reed, Geordi LaForge, Kes, and Janice Rand

Seven years and two plagues later; I respond. My apologies. Life. Y’know.

1. Sexuality Headcanons:

Malcolm - oh how I wish the powers that be didn't cowardly back off on the original plan, wherein Malcolm was openly gay. Oh well, let's Headcanon him in anyways. 

Geordi - bisexual, demisexual(just a vibe, not a very serious headcanon)

Kes - let's say bisexual. For reasons.

Janice - This is probably because I've only seen Janice in a few TOS episodes (I'm only doing a proper start to finish watch of the series now) and thus haven't reached the inevitable het romance, but as far as I'm concerned Janice Rand is a lesbian. If at any point she shows romantic interest in a man it's obviously an elaborate inside joke with Uhura. Janice Rand, very lesbian.

2. OTPS

Malcolm - I don't have one. I don't think Malcolm is the sort of person to want a relationship with a crew member and none of the men on the ship seem like a good romantic match for him. (If Malcolm got a love interest, they should probably be a civilian, more emotionally expressive). If I had to choose an otp Malcolm/Travis might work.

Geordi - I'm not super serious about it but Da Forge is a good ship.

Kes - I don't have any preexisting ideas about Kes' relationships other than "c'mon Neelix be the better person we know you can be," but, to make something up; Kes and B'Elana could be interesting because they're both very passionate and principled people but externally they present themselves very differently: Kes is caring, subtle, and calm whereas B'Elana is expressive, and a bit judgemental. Also Kes's morality is more about caring while B'Elana has a warrior's moral code, resisting injustice.  (There's a running theme in these asks because only interesting character foils can get me interested in romantic plots).

Janice - I enjoy the idea of Uhura/Janice Rand. Both are talented and Janice seems more level on and off duty whereas Uhura is a capable woman but an incorrigible flirt.

3. Brotps:

Malcolm - I would enjoy seeing a Malcolm/Hoshi friendship, mostly because Malcolm is very militaristic whereas Hoshi is more of the Civilian Science Nerd Who Got Swept Up In All this Rubbish. On the whole Enterprise forgot to do what tng/ds9 did well and allow their side characters to actually *gasp* interact, so pretty much any platonic relationship is up for grabs. Malcolm is an interesting character to work in contrasts; his disciplined nature compared to Phlox, or his close to the belt nature compared to Travis' comfort with his roots.

Geordi - Also Data and Geordi; they're so affectionate and supportive. I also really enjoy the dynamic between Picard and Geordi in the tng relaunch novels, considering Geordi is one of the remaining original crew members.

Kes - canonically, Kes and the Doctor all the way. So good. Remember when she extended his flu? Good scene. For an au take, I would enjoy a purely platonic Kes and Neelix friendship. They did have some nice dynamics canonically and I'd like to see a relationship without the squicky romantic possessiveness.

Janice - Rand and Spock. No good justification it's just that Spock goes well with everyone.

4. Notps:

Malcolm - Malcolm/Hoshi, Malcolm/T'pol, Malcolm/Archer. Not really established ships but in my mind each of these pairings are  a Bad Idea.

Geordi - I don't remember any established canon or fan popular relationships that made me cringe, so here's one: Geordi/Q. Awful idea.

Kes - Kes and possessive!Neelix. So many cringe moments

Janice - Rand and every damn person who falls in love with her and then tries to force her into sexual acts against her will why is this a plot multiple times for goodness' sakes. (Also not big at all on the idea of Kirk/Rand).

5. First Headcanon that Pops to Mind:

Malcolm - So based off the pineapple thing, let's say Malcolm has a ridiculous amount of personal experiences he never talks about. Like he had a steady boyfriend back on earth and never brings it up because it's not relevant. If prompted he has all these prank stories but you basically have to drag the information out of him.

Geordi - Geordi is also friends with Felix, who sent the Chief Engineer on Starfleet's flagship a sample program because he knows just how good he is.

Kes - Since Kes starts canonically developing her telekenetic abilities, let's imagine Kes as an absolute telekenetic prankster.

Also, after she leaves Voyager I like to imagine that some of what she got up to would be protecting the vulnerable, considering her past. (I don't think this directly contradicts canon but I actually try to forget that episode).

Janice - Janice Rand is so professional that no one expects her to have wild musical tastes. Like death metal, weird atonal music, lots of instrumentals, music from non-human planets etc*

*My lack of musical knowledge is showing, isn't it.

6. One Way I Relate:

Malcolm - I would also refuse to marry and copulate with my coworkers if we were stranded on a planet in an alternate timeline. My mom is also largely unaware of my food preferences.

Geordi - often interacts with people with an understated sort of humour. I would also subtly lecture ableist aliens and befriend the local android.

Kes - This example is more about admiration than relating, but I really enjoy Kes's compassionate curiosity and the sense of wonder that comes with her character.

Janice - In the episode Charlie X we see her being mature to someone who is A) probably quite traumatized and B) currently sexually harassing her. I relate to that sense of "oh, this situation is kind of worse for me and I'm still going to handle it fairly and levelly because of moral principles and rational empathy." Also even though she's backed into a corner she still tries to pass emotional labour off to Kirk and that's A+. ("Ask the Captain, he'll explain.") I'm sure lots of women (although not all women and not just women) could relate to that.

7. Something that Gives me Second Hand Embarrassment:

Malcolm - I have a distant memory of an episode where Archer, Trip, and Malcolm were all trapped in a pod, thought they were going to die, and Malcolm got about 10% sentimental? That always makes me unjustifiably embarrassed, but I don't even remember if that episode was real, so.

Geordi - nothing? I think Geordi may be the perfect human being?

Kes - the episode where she came back and tried to hurt all her old friends was pretty embarrassing. Also her relationship with Neelix.

Janice - From what I've actually seen of TOS, nothing beyond those damn impractical uniforms. If we have to see people in dresses at least show me Spock in a dress, c'mon.

8. Cinnamon Roll or Problematic Fave?:

Malcolm - I want to call him the problematic fave because he was somewhat militaristic, but nah, cinnamon roll. Let me see only the best in people like some sort of naive federation citizen. (Also Archer made way more questionable decisions and I don't remember enough about Enterprise to say that Reed ever did anything less than an exemplary job).

Geordi - Clear cinnamon roll

Kes - Clear cinnamon roll. No controversy there.

Janice - Definitely a cinnamon roll. Too good for this world.

[destinyc1020]

The truth is every single choice Zendaya makes in her career will upset somebody. Look at every single casting announcement we have from Zendaya over the past 10 years, Spider-Man, Malcom and Marie, the greatest showman, dune space jam, challengers and now this, there is always something wrong

‘She’s not white enough for this role’

‘She’s not black enough for this role’

���She is not a real voice actor/does not have talent for voice acting’

‘Why is she taking a role from a fully black actrsss’

‘Why is the love interest biracial/they are erasing black love’

‘Why are love interest white’

‘Why are her love interest ugly’

‘Zendaya sticks out like a sore thumb in this talented cast’

I actually understand people’s frustrations and concerns but Zendaya cannot do anything without upsetting somebody. There are too many people waiting for her to fail and it’s not allowing her room to take risks with her career cause everyone is breathing down her damn neck. You would think Zendaya had 20 movies directed with men for white men, the way they talk about her. She should just do what she wants atp (and I say this as a black fan. I want her to work with more POC but it’s crazy how she can’t just do anything without discourse). This must be why it takes years for us to getting anything. I feel like people need to give her time to craft her filmography before her accusing her of not caring about other POC talent.

Also that anon that was comparing Zendaya with Halle, the times are different. Back then biracial people were considered black (Halle is way more accepted in the black community than Zendaya is now), that’s not really the case anymore (as we saw how offended some got on your blog the other day). She needs to navigate being mixed in a way that will not offend someone (everything she does seems to offend these days). I’m tired. Can’t even be excited for anything with her cause someone is always mad.

The truth is every single choice Zendaya makes in her career will upset somebody....there is always something wrong. ‘She’s not white enough for this role’ ‘She’s not black enough for this role’ ‘She is not a real voice actor/does not have talent for voice acting’ ‘Why is she taking a role from a fully black actrsss’ ‘Why is the love interest biracial/they are erasing black love’ ‘Why are love interest white’ ‘Why are her love interest ugly’ ‘Zendaya sticks out like a sore thumb in this talented cast’

Here me out....hear me out.....

What IF... Zendaya did a film that:

Starred a DIVERSE cast

Where she has a Biracial male love interest

That's from an original script

That is a fantasy genre and not part of an IP or comic book film (TOTALLY original in other words)

With a GREAT script

Where her male love interest is good-looking lol🤭

And the rest of the cast isn't UBER more talented than her ROTFL

Soooooo..... C'mon Hollywood....Do it! 😅 I think I covered all of the bases right??

There are too many people waiting for her to fail and it’s not allowing her room to take risks with her career cause everyone is breathing down her damn neck. You would think Zendaya had 20 movies directed with men for white men, the way they talk about her. She should just do what she wants atp (and I say this as a black fan. I want her to work with more POC but it’s crazy how she can’t just do anything without discourse).

Idk about other Anons, but I whole-heartedly feel that Zendaya should just do whatever she wants to do. I'm always a full advocate of my faves doing whatever makes THEM happy.

At the same time though, while I don't think people should be ripping into Zendaya for her filming choices, can you really blame fans for wanting to see a little more diversity w/who she works with in her film choices? I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with that. I don't think we need to have tons of discourse about it, but at the same time, I don't think it's any different from fans wanting their male fave to work with more female directors, or diverse cast mates, or to venture out and do different film genres in their career.

This will be the 9th film (if Z does it) where she has a White male love interest, with a predominantly white cast. I don't think it's strange for some fans to want to see something a little different for a change. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Also that anon that was comparing Zendaya with Halle, the times are different. Back then biracial people were considered black (Halle is way more accepted in the black community than Zendaya is now), that’s not really the case anymore (as we saw how offended some got on your blog the other day). She needs to navigate being mixed in a way that will not offend someone (everything she does seems to offend these days). I’m tired.

Now this I DEFINITELY agree with. 💯👏🏾 Times were different back then, and like you said, Halle was seen as just BLACK period back then. While Halle most certainly had loads of barriers in Hollywood, she didn't have to navigate things quite the way that Zendaya has to in 2024....where people are faaar more sensitive and find offense in just about every single little thing lol.

[booiisms-blog]

i know this isn't how the meme works, but would you mind talking about *your* favs?

the batsammi. MY faves? Like, my favorite blogs that I would follow until my dying breath? Sure! Let's limit it to about... ten okay? So, if you're left out of this list, don't feel discouraged! This is just the first ten to come to mind!

@xdemondrinker​ / @deathsdesiign​  Sam. Sam is the Superman to my Batman. We've been friends for almost 5 years? 6 years? God, I don't even know anymore. We talk every day and I'm always blown away by someone who's gone through so much, but is still so kind and full of creativity. If you're not following Sam, you're missing out on some hella writing. From her Witch!AU Sam Winchester, to the personification of Death from Final Destination ---- you just gotta. You gotta. I love her with all my black litle heart.

@leadkiss​ / where ever else you are tbh. GINA. GINA LIGHT OF MY WORLD AND HEART. Another person I've been writing with for literal years. She's been with me through some terribly tough times and helped me when I wasn't sure I could be helped. She could write a stick and still get your feels. She's talented and brilliant, and such a good. Just. Just a good okay.

@monstricidal​ You've probably heard me say this before, but Mary wouldn't be who she is without Kat's Alana Bloom. There is no one on God's Green Earth who probably loves Alana Bloom more than her. Her characterization is nuanced and deep, and everything has a reason and a realistic touch. Not to mention the writing is just flawless and breath taking. Kat is important to me. 100%.

@glitchyai​ / @thatradiodial​ DAISY. Daisyyyy. I've written with them for... god, 5 years now probably? We met on Carol? Yeah. 5 years. And all of their characters are gems and well thought out and just. I LOVE. I love, I love. I cannot imagine my life without.

@djtothestars​ / @radiowaaves​ MANDY! (Oh c'mon, you saw that coming didn't you??) I met Mandy through Daisy and I'm so grateful for that. Mostly we scream about characters at each other and random snapchats but I love Mandy with pm my whole liver. *wistful sigh* & she gets me into all these dang podcasts that give me feelings GOSH DERN IT

@dalishfreckles​ J O L Y. I don't think there are words for how important, or how much they mean to me. There are no words in all the tongues of the Elves, Dwarves, or Ents to explain my love. Like a lot of these people, I wouldn't be where I am now, or who I am now without Joly. They are a piece of my soul that I hope never leaves me. Their writing keeps me on my toes and make me want to write better, and have you seen their characters? Perfection.

@thirtylcve​ SO. a new fave. i absolutely love kate. i love to talk to her and watch her on the dash. and she's just so... kind and thoughtful. she understands all of her muses so well, and i just. i love her so much. /smooshes face. SO MUCH. also her freaking promo tag is "your fave could never" and i think it's the cutest thing in thE WHOLE WORLD

@onlyjokesherebro​ >> this one should come as 0% surprise tbh. magpie is the cutest patootiest patoot in the whole galaxy. chris's personality and speech patterns are so unique, but she gets them super great and is just a delight to talk to. and so. i'm so. I LOVE.

@perfectforayear MY STEPCHILD FROM ANOTHER BLOG...er or son from another blog? W/E. I have watched them grow from a n00b to this fully fledged roleplayer who has surpassed me in wonderfulness. i adore. forever.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF MY FRIENDS. and to round out #10, i wanted to tell you about a fave that i've never actually talked to, never written with, but i adore from afar bc i am smol potato.

@vcspertiilio  did you know i love batman? no? where have you been?! i love just about every version of batman in the world. and i just recently (in the past 2 years) started reading batman comics. now. this blog? does such justice to bruce wayne that i am constantly blown away. the dialogue is perfect. the motivations are impeccable. i'm amazed at the headcanons that are supported by comic canon........ from a movie batman blog, who (from what i know) has read none to some comics. ( I'M NO EXPERT OK ) and i just. i read just about everythign on the dash with them and. /wisTFUL SIGH FROM FAR AWAY.

there you go. 10 of my faves. this isn't even top ten. this was just literally the firt ten i thought of. i love everyone i write with, and plot with, and for those of you who i haven't gotten a chance to ----- COME AT ME. I want new things. I want old things. I want all things. ouo

On Point With: Jenn D’Role

Part of the venerable tradition of SUNY Purchase drag queens coming to slay NYC’s nightlife, this lovely showstopper also happens to be the admin of one of “RuPaul’s Drag Race’s” largest social media fan communities. Fresh from DragCon and ready to turn it out at two of Brooklyn’s hottest kikis, it’s Jenn D’Role!

Thotyssey: Whattup Jenn! Thanks for talking to us tonight! 

Jenn D’Role: Hey Jim! Thank you for having me, gurl!

So I heard that for Maxxx Pleasure’s show Guilty Pleasures at Gold Sounds the other night, you and Maxx did a duet from RENT. Is that your guiltiest pleasure?

Hahaha! Not my guiltiest! But! People are shamed for loving showtunes, and showtunes get a bad wrap sometimes for being “corny.” I think that I wanted to live that Broadway fantasy, and knew it was a bit rock-n-roll--and Maxxx had the perfect vibe for that number.

It must’ve been epic! So uh, were you a fan of anything about the royal wedding that just happened?

Royal what!? Royal who? Hahaha! No I’m glad that there’s a brown woman of royalty out there. We are overdue for that representation.

That's true! It’s all just escapism I guess, considering all that is going on. What are your thoughts on the state of this country today? Has everyone lost their damn mind?

I think the word of the year here is Empathy. I think a lot of people in the country are lacking that human trait. Also communication is big, too! If we just understood and talked more, I think we could truly overcome our differences. But with that said, the state of the union is a reflection of what our society is.

Sad but true!

 So, a more fun subject: DragCon! Tell us what you did there, and how it went.

Ahhh! DragCon was a dream! So, I am the admin of the RuPauls Drag Race Fan Group, which is one of the largest groups on Facebook.The team at Facebook hit me up with an opportunity to represent the group on panels and interviews at DragCon, as well as work the Facebook booth and Interview some queens live.

That must’ve been an amazing opportunity! But I think it was Miz Cracker who recently made a wise-ass comment about Facebook's presence at DragCon, considering that they still won't let so many queens use their drag names on their accounts.

I mean, she isn’t wrong! But also, Facebook has been trying to fix that. Its a big company, and I’m sure the process is not an easy one.

I bet! And no one can deny that Facebook's been essential to drag's success, both for the local queens and the Drag Race girls.

As an obvious superfan of the show, was Drag Race your first exposure to drag?

Actually VH1's The RuPaul Show was my first exposure to drag! As a young child, I always knew about Ru. But Drag Race was definitely that big reintroduction to drag back in ‘09. Talk about memories, bitch!

I loved her first show, too! So you created this hugely popular group for Drag Race fans on Facebook. There are countless outlets for Drag Race fandom, how did you get yours to be so essential?

I think it became so essential because it was the first. I started it back in 2011-- Season 3 of Drag Race--way before it took off with audiences today. Also,  myself and the other admins really try our best to keep the group a positive place to talk all things Drag Race, and really share the love and experience.

I appreciate the intensity of the fandom, but I imagine that the insanely hostile negativity that often comes from these trolls must be like a 9 to 5 day job for an admin to manage.

WELL! It can be tough. But I have great help from my fellow admins, and for the most part people follow the guidelines we have set for the group.

Regarding the show’s current season: don’t you think that the Drag Race editors are presenting the narrative that Eureka is going to be the winner?

Well, I'm not sure how they do the editing. I do know that Ru has talked about how they try and edit the gurls to look the best possible on what the girls have given them. I will say, however, I think Eureka is a really strong competitor.

I feel that Monet’s amazing talent and energy was totally overshadowed by this Eureka star treatment.

I agree that Monet had been coming up short... and that’s my baby! So I feel you on that.

What cstmembers of the show, past and present, did you get to meet at the Con?

I interviewed Jiggly, Sharon, Trinity, India and Phoenix, to name a few. And I got to meet and chat with Morgan, Bebe, Peppermint and Naomi Smalls. They were all great gals!

You live in New Rochelle... is that where you’re from?

I'm actually not! It's just where I can afford an apartment at the moment. I was originally born in Miami-Dade County. Then I was raised in upstate New York--about a two hour drive from the city, in a super poor county. 

What did you do there?

There was not much to do as a poor Latino child. I really took an interest in cinema and music. It was the only thing that really kept me alive back in those early days.

I hear that. Did you / do you want to pursue that as a livelihood?

I mean, that would be a dream! And being a performer is where I feel my most authentic. So I would say I am already living my life as a performer, among other things.

When did you begin performing as Jenn?

About two summers ago, actually. Before that, I went by another name... but let’s not talk about that!

Lol, we won’t force it out of you!

Did you ever perform in Westchester?

Yes! I went to school at Purchase, and was really a staple in the small drag scene we had.

Oh, you were a Purchase queen! Quite a few NYC performers came through there... did you know any back then?

Just my fave girl, Miz Jade!

We love her!

I met her when she came back as an alumni; she saw me my first time in drag. I'm hoping she doesn't remember!

How did you find yourself performing in BK shows with Horrorchata and company?

Well, I used to do a karaoke bar gig back in Red Hook, and one night I made my way to Macri Park with a friend in drags. I met the DJ--who just so happened to be DJ Ickarus--and I asked to perform. He let me know Miz Jade was in the house and I told him I knew her, and then she let me perform that night. 

From there, Ickarus invited me to perform at the first Tanlines [patio party / show at the Rosemont] last year, and I there got the chance to meet Hannah Lou and then Horrorchata. I made quite the impression, and from then on we became really good friends!

How would you describe your brand of drag to the uninitiated?

My aesthetic is very disco, superhero, alien, 80's, 90's, early 2000s hip hop latina. If that makes sense, haha

Absolutely! Do you get to perform a lot of Latin numbers, usually?

YASS! I'm the resident girl at YAS MAMA, Horrorchata’s monthly QPOC party at C'mon Everybody! It's really helped me get more in touch with my Cuban roots.

How did that Night of 1000 Selenas edition of YM go, two months ago?

PERFECTO! it was a true dream to pay tribute to the one and only Selena,  alongside mis hermanas (my sisters) Lady Quesa’dilla and Horrorchata.

And the next Yas Mama, June 2nd, will be the Pride edition! What’s in store for us then?

Well you'll just have to come through and see, babayy!

You mentioned the monthly party Tanlines earlier. That was the Rosemont’s seasonal outdoor patio party with live entertainment that became this huge thing. It basically outgrew the space, and this Saturday it debuts as a monthly event in its new, much larger venue: The Knockdown Center in Maspeth, the home of Bushwig! This should be Everything! 

Yes, that’s correct! We also have some great vendors and unique Items coming through. Also, the amazing La Favi will be making her second appearance on the BK scene. I performed alongside her last year, when she first came through! And we have some great BK babes Like Zenobia, Crystal Mesh, Jacquée Kennedée and Untitled Queen! We are looking forward to a great turn out! Def what we need for that good summer vibe!

Looking forward to it! Anything else to mention?

I’d love to plug that Yas Mama might move to a daytime event for Pride month. As well as, stay tuned for future work with Facebook and DragCon NYC!

Okay last question: should Miss Vanjie win Miss Congeniality this season?

IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION!? Miss Vvaaaaaannnjjiieee for the win!

Thanks, Jenn!

Jenn D’Role usually performs for the party Yas Mama on first Saturdays (10pm) at C’Mon Everybody. Check Thotyssey’s calendar for all her scheduled appearances, and follow Jenn on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

On Point Archives

[destinyc1020]

Okay, so come on, we don't want the validation of twitter and if we also wanted what would be the problem? The question is: we want good projects for Tom, we want him to receive the recognition he deserves because we know his potential. What's the point of being a good actor and not being recognized as such?

Twitter may be one of the worst social media, but unfortunately it has influence. Where do y’all think the virals will stop? On other social medias and arrive at the artists themselves. Twitter makes noise so it's obvious that we want the hate on Tom to decrease.

This boy has a viral hate every month, either for his filmography, his acting and even the way he dresses. He is ALWAYS compared to other actors of his age for being the only one not to get works recognized by great directors, great awards and etc...

And yes, Tom is a white boy, he has this privilege, but do y’all think he will pay himself all his life at the expense of a bad filmography? No, he's obviously going to become a joke. Only the TCR recordings have already generated a massive hate in Tom because of his appearance, if TCR is bad all this hate will triple. Film twitter, locals, fandoms, everyone will just make jokes about him again.

We just want him to be respected, if not with the person he is, as an actor it is the minimum.

Okay, so come on, we don't want the validation of twitter and if we also wanted what would be the problem? The question is: we want good projects for Tom, we want him to receive the recognition he deserves because we know his potential.

There's nothing wrong with wanting that... You can want the validation of twitter, but you're only going to find yourself constantly on an up and down rollercoaster, because people on twitter change their minds about people faster than the wind changes direction. 🥴

You will ALWAYS be unhappy as a fan (of anyone imo) if you keep looking for twitter validation. JMHO 🤷🏾‍♀️

What's the point of being a good actor and not being recognized as such?

But that's the thing, Tom IS recognized as being a "good actor". You (and other fans I suppose) are the ones saying that he's not.

Twitter may be one of the worst social media, but unfortunately it has influence. Where do y’all think the virals will stop? On other social medias and arrive at the artists themselves. Twitter makes noise so it's obvious that we want the hate on Tom to decrease.

Well of course none of us want Tom or any of our other faves to receive hate online. OF course nobody wants that. But unfortunately that's just par for the course when you're famous. 🤷🏾‍♀️

You can either focus on the hate, or ignore it and focus on the love he receives online. Idk why some fans act like Tom is some hated species online or something. Like, I literally have to LOOK for hateful things said about him online. Maybe it's our algorithms or something lol. 😅

This boy has a viral hate every month, either for his filmography, his acting and even the way he dresses. He is ALWAYS compared to other actors of his age for being the only one not to get works recognized by great directors, great awards and etc...

Compared by whom though?? People on TWITTER?? Like c'mon! When directors look at an actor, they don't care what some stranger on the internet tweets while they're probably on the toilet lol. 🙄

They hire an actor because he's TALENTED, because his agent got him some connections, or because he's worked with other actors and directors who sing his praises.

What people say online in message forums or twitter (of all places🙄) doesn't mean a thing to a casting director. Unless you have some real shady stuff about your personal life (like, say JM for example), most casting directors aren't caring what people on film twitter say. Directors care about Talent. Directors and studios care about butts in SEATS. And Tom puts butts in seats.

And yes, Tom is a white boy, he has this privilege, but do y’all think he will pay himself all his life at the expense of a bad filmography?

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what you're trying to say here... 🤷🏾‍♀️

No, he's obviously going to become a joke. Only the TCR recordings have already generated a massive hate in Tom because of his appearance, if TCR is bad all this hate will triple. Film twitter, locals, fandoms, everyone will just make jokes about him again.

Why are you automatically assuming the worst? 🥴 Are you even a fan lol? 😄 My gosh...with "fans" like you, who needs enemies?? 😅🤣

First of all, if some fans were making fun of Tom's looks during FILMING, then that's just because they're immature. 🙄 Most people know that actors sometimes change their looks from film to film based on what the role they're playing entails. So anyone who is having a massive meltdown over an actor's looks that he's doing for a ROLE is just wanting to complain about something imo.

Did you ever think that maybe his performance will be AWESOME, and he will get a lot of praise for it??

I mean... Why assume the worst?

I really want to know where this inferiority complex came from in Tom's fandom. I swear, it was NOT like this back in 2017. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Can someone explain this to me? Because I am utterly confused.

We just want him to be respected, if not with the person he is, as an actor it is the minimum.

But Tom is ALREADY respected! I guess that's my point. Tom is already respected by the people who matter... Which are, people who are actually in Hollywood in the film industry who can actually get him a JOB/role. These people on twitter can't do anything for him.

Robert Downey Jr., Naomi Watts, Jon Favreau, the Russo Brothers, J.A. Bayona, Bob Iger, etc..... The list goes on and on.

You're the one saying that he's not "respected", and I'm not sure why you keep saying that when it's not even the truth.

[destinyc1020]

Hey, a kinda long sunday confession here and I'm struggling to phrase this in a way that doesn't make it sound judgemental or insensitive (because I'm really trying not to be), but ever since tcr filming Tom has seemed to age quite a bit. More obvious crow's feet, wrinkles on his face more pronounced, eyes look more tired...and listen, I know it was ultimately his choice to lose weight for the role and it's normal for wrinkles to be more pronounced and skin to sag after weight loss, but I do feel a little bad sometimes. Clearly filming was very intense emotionally (as he has said) but also physically. Of course he is still VERY handsome and attractive, but it does kinda suck to see a role age him this much and a year later even though he definitely looks healthier the crows feet seem to be sticking around (I guess once wrinkles come they can't really go without surgery). Anyway he's rich so i'm hoping he's spending some of it on some good skincare. Again, looks aren't the end all be all I get that, and I'm trying not to be superficial or anything, especially since most of the reason I'm his fan is because of his talent and personality! But sometimes when I see old pics of him during nwh press or uncharted press vs only a few months later during tcr filming the difference is a little alarming. And as much as I hate to say it hollywood obviously is hollywood so there's a lot of stock in appearances (though as a white man he does have it easier in that regard compared to others ofc and other than comments here and there from the general public I doubt it would affect his career). The dedication Tom puts into his roles is impressive but sometimes I do feel a little bad that his skin hasn't bounced back...and maybe it will and just needs time or it's just the normal aging process for a yt man being sped up a bit lol. Maybe this would have happened regardless of tcr who knows. But sometimes in certain lighting it can be a bit jarring - and maybe that's just because I'm so used to him looking younger than his age in his early 20s. Idk. Anyway, at the end of the day he seems like he's happy and content and confident with himself and that's all that matters I just wanted to ramble a bit :)

Wow... This was a long confession Anon! 😅

Well, I'll be honest, at first I was gonna rip into you lol, but I remembered that your ask was a "Confession Sunday" ask, and towards the end it seems like you were coming from a genuine place of concern, so I won't judge. Thanks for being honest Anon, I'm sure that probably wasn't easy to confess. It's sometimes hard to say anything LESS than favorable about our faves who we love. But I don't think anyone should be judged harshly in the fandom for their honest thoughts and feelings, as long as it's not coming from a place of SHADE. I'll just say that I think that we ALL have different genetics, and some skin tones just age quicker than others...that's just a fact of life lol. Tom is a white British man, with a mom who's a Ginger (red head) lol... I mean..... C'mon... 👀 Like, you kind of have to look at where someone is starting off from lol. 😅

Tom has had crows feet/laugh lines since he was even in his teens lol, so I think they're just genetic?? I mean, obviously, they will probably get more pronounced the older he gets, but I just think he's just always had them tbh. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If you look at even his younger photos, you'll see that I'm right.

I DO know that he lost a significant amount of weight for "Cherry", and I know that sometimes that can have an impact on your aging.... There were times when I really was worried about him during that time. 😭 Then, there were claims (not sure if they were true) that he had fainted in public at one point due to the lack of eating for the role. So yea, I was getting a bit worried. 😔 He also lost some weight (although not AS much) for his role in "The Crowded Room", and honestly, I don't think they really needed him to lose weight?? But I guess they wanted his character to look as meek and mild and young as possible? 🤷🏾‍♀️ It seems that role was emotionally exhausting and a bit crazy for him! (I'm just being totally honest when I say that I hope Tom doesn't take anymore roles where he has to DRASTICALLY lose weight again anytime soon. 😔)

I know that stress can definitely age you! I've even seen some of my other faves go through a hard role, or lose weight to play a character, or go through an arduous awards season, and they've looked so tired and worn out through and through...almost like everything just aged them overnight. 😔 So even emotional stresses, drastic weight loss, or a grueling work schedule can really do a number on your body, your skin, etc.

Anyway.... RE: Tom..... I do get your concern Anon, but he seems like he's looking healthy now! 😊 And honestly??? I don't think the crows feet or laugh lines in his face are a BAD thing tbh.... He's looked like a kid for so long lol, that I think it's actually a good thing that he's looking a bit more mature. 😅 JMHO. I think some fans wanna keep Tom in 2017 when they first fell in love with him in Spider-Man HOCO, but ummm...he was only 21 back then! Tom naturally has a young face, so now that he's looking more "grown", I don't think that's a bad thing per se. 🤔

He's still a very handsome man, and he's rich, so if he ever wanted to get botox or something cosmetic to lessen the creases around his eyes, then I'm sure he has MORE than enough money and resources to do so lol. He's a Brit though, so I don't think their actors worry so much cosmetic-wise about how they look like us Americans lol. 😅 I think there's WAY more pressure here in the US/LA area (especially) to look a certain way than there is overseas. Just my personal observation. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Either way, it's everyone's own personal decision on how they wish to take care of their "canvas", and it's always good to remember that it's what's on the INSIDE of a person that matters most!

Tom seems to be doing AWESOME right now! He's given up alcohol/drinking so much, he's mentioned that he's SLEEPING better, he seems ABUNDANTLY HAPPY, he seems to LOVE his life, he's getting a LONG BREAK from working (a whole YEAR off!), he doesn't seem to be smoking anymore lol, and he just seems overall super happy with life! 😃 I'm really happy and just so proud of him honestly. 🥰 He seems to be glowing to me! So, even though you think he looks more 'tired' these days, he actually seems to be in a much better place than he was just a year ago imo. Plus, he's married to dating Zendaya, and I'm sure she has a TON of facial regimens and creams she can help her hubby out with if he needs it lol. 🤭
