Was ist denn plötzlich im spatort fandom los? Man liest hier auf einmal Dinge über Spaltungen und fake leaks und Leute die das fandom "verlassen" wollen... Guys curating your fandom experience is okay! Just don't follow people you don't want to follow! Seid nur in Servern wo ihr Spaß habt! Blacklists und Blockfunktion existieren aus nem Grund! Nicht alles so ernst nehmen!

Ich verstehe, dass nicht jeder seit 10+ Jahren in online spaces unterwegs ist und die Erfahrungen gemacht hat die ich z.b. gemacht habe. Ich habe fandom wars gesehen like you can't even imagine. Der Trick ist einfach offline zu gehen! It's not real!!

Leute haben eine andere Interpretation? Let them! Leute wollen eher Pia und Esther sehen als Adam und Leo? Let them!! Leute schreiben omegaverse smut fic und dir gefällt es nicht? OKAY DON'T READ IT. Man kann Schauspieler für ihr acting mögen oder in einer Rolle feiern aber sie trotzdem kritisieren/cringe finden/mal ne Rolle blöd finden!! Just keep it in fandom spaces und harrassed niemanden und gut is. Es kann auch mal Spaß machen andere Takes zu lesen und sich zu denken 'boah die Person labert quatsch' - aber kommentier es nicht drunter. Schon wird niemand verletzt!

Fandom kann so fun sein. Mein Appell: organisiert euch selbst eure fandom experience, sucht euch aus mit wem ihr interagiert und findet außer spatort andere Gemeinsamkeiten. Wenn Spatort era endet bin ich sad, ja, aber guess what! Es gibt noch viele andere Sachen mit denen man sich beschäftigen kann.

Be nice to each other!

Fic rec fic rec!

This absolutely lovely story "into this neutral air" by swat117, is set in the Ted Lasso Seraphinaverse and written especially for me (or at least that's how it feels).

Ted touches Trent’s cheek, brushing the hair out of his eyes, and neutralising any defence he had against Ted’s affection. “I’ve only got so many free nights during the season, sweetheart, and I want to spend them with you.” “Plus five hundred drunk German tourists and the song catalogue of ABBA?” Trent says into his pillow. “Exactly what I mean, Dancing Queen.” “No,” Trent rolls away, taking the duvet with him. “No no no.” Ted is stronger, and pulls him back by the blanket. And, while Trent stores the memory of a few other things that happened in the ensuing hour, he still can’t point to the actual moment he said si to Mamma Mia. The show proves exactly as painful as Trent expected it to be, made worse by the walk down a busy stretch of the Strand to get there. Cutting wind off the Thames, adverts of unconscionable copywriting, nearly having a foot amputated by a passing motorbike: so, Central London on a Friday. “Can I not just drop you off and go round to the National Portrait?” He had tried, even as Ted dragged him through the theatre doors. “No can do, Waterloo!” Ted grinned. “I wanna hold your hand while they sing ‘Chiquitita.’” Trent is doomed in so many, such exquisite ways.

This fic has everything: Auden quote for a title, ABBA, lots of feelings about goddamn Martin Sherman, front stoop confessions, bitchy!Ted, and a lovely lyricism the writer gives to Trent's narrative voice that I was continually in awe of. Run, don't walk. Unless you're carrying scissors or are at a pool.

Marvel definitely has a habit of celebrating their queer characters in June, with variants and short stories in the Voices book, and then doing literally nothing with them for the rest of the year. Which is incredibly frustrating as a lot of the characters in question are incredible and deserve their own series. And it feels like them searching for recognition like: “look at us! We have so many awesome LGBTQA+ characters!” Ok??? So give the individual characters their own series??

I also feel that if they’re creating a Loki book then they have to acknowledge Loki’s gender-fluidity, it’s become a stable of the character so ignoring it would take conscious effort. Even the 2019 series, that only ran for 5 issues, at least acknowledged it in various things the character said even tho they presented as male for the whole run. And now that we’ve had Defenders Beyond… I feel like not making Loki gender fluid would boarder on offensive (correct me if I’m wrong but I think some characters even used they/them for Loki in that series) But of course entirely depends on the writer, just like some writers don’t really acknowledge Clint’s Deafness, a lot of writers don’t want to actually do anything with Loki’s gender. They’re say “oh yeah he’s gender fluid. He’s just presenting as male for this whole run and never talking about it.” like Clint’s invisible hearing aids. It’s a nice out.

Unfortunately June is a long way away and we likely won’t get any clear answers until then, I’m not really very familiar with Dan Watters other work. He’s definitely not one of those writers that I just automatically trust (like, I know Al Ewing has my back). I would normally be comforted by femme Loki being on the cover but so is alligator Loki (apparently that’s just a thing now) so it feels like they’re trying to draw in fans of the TV show and might be doing the whole “female presenting Loki is her own person, a Loki variant. And not actually connected in anyway to this current version of Loki” which would suck. But we’ll see.

When are we getting an entireview on the limited Loki comic series? Are they gonna ignore defender beyond? Is Loki gonna get to be genderfuild?dose the artist of the comic liking my comment asking them to give Loki black lipstick means he's giving Loki black lipstick?is Loki gonna get a new outfit since everyone is getting new outfits as of late?I NEED ANSWERS!

According to the New York Times, happy feet were more important than the holocaust…. On 10th December 1942, the Polish government-in-exile sent a diplomatic note, written and signed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Raczyński, to the governments of the 26 signatory states of the United Nations Declaration.

The nine-page note described what was known about the mass extermination of the Jewish people in German-occupied Poland, based on intelligence gathered by the Polish resistance. It clearly stated that more than a million Polish jews had already been killed, and that the Germans intended to kill the rest, as well as Jews from all over Europe. It also included a detailed account of Grossaktion Warschau - the deportation of most of the inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp during the summer of 1942 (from 23rd July to 21st September), where they were killed in gas chambers disguised as showers.

The next day, on 11th December 1942, the New York Times briefly mentioned the note in a few column inches on page 8, next to a large advert for men's slippers.

This is a typical example of how news about the holocaust was given very little prominence in the media throughout the Second World War….

im moving to dfw from seattle this summer. impart your wisdom, if you would

It ROCKS to live in a real city. The factory in deep ellum in Dallas is a lovely little music venue. Denton’s a college town so it has a killer music scene. Bishop arts district was lovely when I was a kid idk how it looks in the last decade tho. Whataburger is Fine but the important thing is it’s open at 2 am when you’re drunk. The Fort Worth zoo is better than the Dallas zoo and it’s one of the best in the country. Carshon’s is an awesome Jewish cash only deli over by the zoo. Dallas has the biggest and first half price books store and across the street is a little family owned German restaurant where they play accordion on Friday/sat nights. I never kicked around in Dallas too much but Fort Worth has a pretty robust museum district. The Amon carter ROCKS it’s a free art museum with a bunch of classical exhibits and you only have to pay if you want to see some specific temporary installation. I saw Judith slaying holofernes there (not there anymore) it fucking rocks. Honestly I don’t find the stockyards that impressive I would just spend the $12 bucks on the cowgirl museum or some other western museum there are plenty. The perot is awesome and in Dallas. The stock show is fine it’s like any other little fair/carnival. Good way to kill a weekend if you need to kill a weekend. The state fair is crazy go see that thing. Oh there’s a beautiful on the water sculpture let me find it hold on. The fair park lagoon.

It of course goes without saying that you can’t throw a rock without hitting a restaurant that’ll blow your dick off. Ummmm. If you’re driving in Dallas. Stay safe out there. Anecdotally I’ve seen more drivers weave like assholes in the pnw but Dallas is sometimes a 90 mph minimum in the right lane kind of situation. BUGS ARE REAL ! You will hear cicadas for the first time in your life it’s a beautiful summer experience. Skeeter spray a must if you’re outside after like 5pm. There’ll be like PSAs on billboards or mailing adverts about How To Prevent Mosquitoes. Basically don’t have any standing water in your yard and you’re good. House geckos :-). If you’re in the city you don’t have to worry about ticks or snakes but they do exist and are something to be wary of if you’re ever called to tromp through the woods. You are going to find summers unbearable. Everybody’s gonna have AC you’ll be fine inside but you are going to complain about triple degree summers and how you can���t go outside. Nothing to do about that one except carry around 64 oz ice water to drink and pour on your head. Liquor laws are stricter which means no hard alcohol in gas stations / convenience stores / grocery stores you have to go to a liquor store. Also you can’t buy alcohol before noon on Sunday. Oh my god. The sun. You’re going to see the sun soooooo much. And there’ll be thunderstorms! Also Dallas Fort Worth Are two different cities 45 minutes apart that you have to drive through Other real cities to get to each other through. Seattle on the left DFW on the right. For comparison.

Also like. You know how the i5 corridor is like. Okay I’m driving through the woods for 3 hours and seeing a town every hour I can get gas 10 exits from now. Highways in texas between Dallas and Fort Worth are like ok I’m driving past flat yellow field and there’s a gas station at every exit for the next 30 exits. Different if you leave DFW! You can get empty field stretches coming in and out of houston and on your way to west texas and pretty much any drive longer than an hour that’s not. Straight from Dallas to Fort Worth. I loveeee the local public radio station. KXT I still listen to it in my car daily. Um. That’s my list of #cultural differences. And places to go 👍

There is localisation discourse again.

And I fucking hate it every time.

You can't translate anything literally.

That's not how language works.

Language specific idioms, tone and voice alone make such a difference.

More than that, however, there is often an aspect to this all that I think I haven't talked about much I think:

This kind of criticism often comes from people who are monolingual.

Aside from my native language, I know a good amount of English and German and a little bit of Latin, Russian and Japanese.

I have translated a bunch of text. I've studied a bunch of languages.

You can't even literally translate simple adverts, much less full blown prose without it sounding like an awkward mess.

The biggest criticism for my work I've recieved is ending up with a too literal of a translation with awkward sentence structures.

This is very typical beginner struggles and if you're in the know even just a little bit, you immediately recognise people who aren't.

These people straight-up do not know what they're talking about yet claim legitimacy.

It's the worst.

You're not an authority on language by putting a sentence in Google Translate and claiming the localisation is bad because what comes out is different from the official translation.

Gain some self-awareness and context.

Even I, knowing at least a little bit of all of these languages, will not claim to be any authority because I've barely studied several of them and simple study and having knowledge about a language and translation are also two very different aspects of language learning.

This wave of internet anti-art anti-intellectualism is equal parts horrifying and fascinating to me.

Because randoms will claim they know better than an artist, a professional translator, a professional writer or any creative person who has honed their craft for years, if not decades, with full arrogant confidence and nothing else to back it up and will have a bunch of other randoms yes-manning them.

And it's not like professionals can't err, but I think consideration should be given to those who earnestly put in the work.

Honestly, I think this extends to a lot of science professions, too.

This is the era of people thinking they know everything because "it feels right" and that can be really dangerous depending on the subject.

And this is actually a very familiar feeling to me – there was an unspoken arrogance born of ignorance to me for a time when I first entered university.

I'm really glad I at least gained the understanding I could feel this way and self-awareness about it and through it also a more careful attitude when talking about anything I might not actually be fully knowledgeable on, but as I said, I also think it is fascinating to me how a internet minority has popped up completely stuck in that attitude.

And I think this I can actually connect to Trump because that's exactly what he is doing. He sprouts shit that "feels right" and makes people that follow him happy, but also falls to pieces at any kind of closer inspection, while also promoting not doing any closer inspection and just being a cult.

Towards the end of his life, the actor Adrian Schiller, who has died unexpectedly aged 60, found success and sudden fame in two blockbuster TV shows: The Last Kingdom (2018-22), on Netflix, in which he played the richest man in medieval Wessex, Aethelhelm; and ITV’s drama Victoria (2016-19), as Cornelius Penge, a footman in the royal household.

In both, a fleeting glance would suggest that here was a naturally authoritative actor, blessed with gravitas and style. This camouflaged the demonic comic spirit within, which had informed so many of his memorable stage performances since he first appeared in the German Expressionist Carl Sternheim’s 1911 play The Knickers at the Lyric, Hammersmith, in 1991. In a delicious comic performance, he played a weak-chested Wagner-loving barber thunderstruck by a flash of discarded lingerie as the Kaiser drove by, suggesting, said the Times critic, “a tousle-headed combination of Charlie Chaplin, Egon Schiele and Gollum, whose idea of romance is reading extracts from the Flying Dutchman”.

Schiller proceeded to leading roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1990s – his Porter in a disappointing 1996 Macbeth was the funniest I had ever seen, while his entertaining Touchstone in an awful 2000 designer knitwear production of As You Like It rescued another dud evening.

He was less prominent in some strange productions at the National – Peter Handke’s wordless The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other in 2008, as one of 27 actors playing 450 characters in a town square, coming and going with no interaction, and as a revolutionary tailor in a poor 2013 retread of Carl Zuckmayer’s 1931 Captain of Kopenick, in which Antony Sher did not eclipse memories of Paul Scofield in the NT’s 1971 production.

On the other hand, he was outstanding in Chekhov’s Three Sisters, superbly directed, and modernised, by Benedict Andrews at the Young Vic in 2012, playing Kulygin, a leather-jacketed schoolteacher tragically infatuated with his own disloyal wife; and he was a compelling, original, quietly spoken and sympathetic Shylock in The Merchant of Venice at the Wanamaker, the candle-lit indoor venue at Shakespeare’s Globe, in 2022. The Merchant rekindled the current noise around the play – is it antisemitic or about antisemitism?

In an interview with the Jewish Chronicle, Schiller tilted towards the second view. He averred that he was “a Jew, but not Jewish”.

Schiller was born in Oxford, the second of four children of Judith (nee Bennett), a teacher, and Klaus Schiller, a gastroenterologist whose family had emigrated from Austria to Britain in 1938. When Klaus was appointed a consultant at St Peter’s hospital, Chertsey, the Schillers moved to Surrey.

Adrian was educated at Kingston grammar school and Charterhouse, in Godalming, Surrey, where he pursued a busy life in stage productions. Instead of drama school, he took a good degree in philosophy (after switching from architecture) at University College London, although he always self-deprecatingly said that he majored in “plays and partying”.

His early television career encompassed series such as Prime Suspect, A Touch of Frost, Judge John Deed and much else, through to the first series of Endeavour in 2013. He also popped up in the Channel 4 series The Devil’s Whore (2008) set in the English civil war, and the Doctor Who story strand The Doctor’s Wife in 2011.

One of his most effective cameos on screen was as the barman in a striking government-sponsored advert in the anti-drink-driving campaign in 2007. He leaned deep into the camera with a series of non-equivocal questions to a bemused, unimpressed young glass-holding customer who may or may not have grasped the seriousness of the interrogation.

But he always returned to the theatre, seeking out the most demanding roles with companies who would accommodate him. He gave an almost ideal Cassius, wirily intellectual while bubbling passionately underneath, said Michael Billington, for David Farr’s 2005 RSC touring version of Julius Caesar. In the title role of Tartuffe at the Watermill, Newbury, in 2006, he was cool and venomous, as well as understated, and clearly the star of the show.

And for Stephen Unwin’s English Touring Theatre in 2007, he rebooted the remorseless villain, De Flores, in Middleton and Rowley’s Jacobean shocker, The Changeling. He was more than notable, too, opposite Sher’s Sigmund Freud, as a vividly hilarious Salvador Dalí, in their great encounter scene in Terry Johnson’s Hysteria at the Hampstead theatre, revived there in 2013, 20 years after its Royal Court premiere.

His feature film credits were not extensive, but in 2014 he was well cast as the sardonic high priest Caiaphas in Son of God, Christopher Spencer’s biblical epic. In Sarah Gavron’s Suffragette (2015), scripted by Abi Morgan, he was an imposing Lloyd George, coming round to the persuasion of the militant vote-seeking women led by Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst and Carey Mulligan as a fictional worker fuelled by the excitement of change and protest.

His last movie, yet to be released, is Red Sonja, in which he plays the king of Turan in a remake of the 1985 sword-and-sorcery Marvel Comics fantasy.

Back on stage in 2023, he returned to questions of Jewish identity and survival in three short new plays at the Soho theatre and a more substantial Holocaust drama, The White Factory by Dmitry Glukhovsky, at the sparky new Marylebone theatre (formerly the Steiner Hall), in which he was a powerful, wise presence in the story of a survivor of the Łódź ghetto in Poland, played by Mark Quartley, adapting to American life in the Brooklyn of the 60s.

At the time of his death, Schiller – who was also a skilled sculptor and guitarist – had just returned from Sydney and the triumphant international tour of The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Sam Mendes, and had been looking forward to the next leg of the tour in San Francisco.

He is survived by his partner, Milena Wlodkowska, a laboratory support technician, and their son, Gabriel, and by his sister, Ginny, and brothers, Nick and Ben.
