I think Kathleen gets TOO much hate because we all know in Hollywood The Only people who have a say on what makes it to film production and release is PRODUCERS AND BACKERS!

Hollywood is funded by bankers and Producers who head studios! They’re the only ones who get to approve any script any decision made by any director or even head of a franchise.

Kathleen is a Puppet for their mouthpiece! Brit he other way around.

She’s a mindless drone there for the check.

she aint a hero FOR SURE but she is for SURE only there because she's a willing PUPPET for Hollywood.

She has no talent , no standards, no ideas outside of why producers tell her to produce .

So... Wedding audio releases today :). (I do not have EA so it is today for me).

And in celebration, have my take on Asher, Babe, David and Angel in their wedding gear <3. (Little sneak peak for the massive character design project I'm doing for most of the Redacted Cast :3)

I'm also trying out some funky colours for my sketches and may well do so for the next bit. Honestly posting sketches and such could do me some good XD. Since I am not getting many paintings done any time soon.

So... yeah :).

NO concept of personal space my god. something needs to be done about them. it's okay they will get what they deserve soon.

i am not doing lineart for this ❤️ actually i am very tempted. just because i want to cover the table with more claire things. trinkets. let's claire-fy it.

here’s a version with colors. i don’t like it but that’s what it would look like if i had colored it. but i didn’t because, like, i disliked how it looked. but it would look like this. but it doesn't. alright that was my claire impression for today. version with colours:

Accuracy in Media and Remakes

I personally don’t think it’s bad to want accuracy in the characters you know for years and yeah it really seems like a bit of a betrayal to the fans to change one of the core characters so dramatically for the sake of being diverse. Which you can do, it’s perfectly fine but not if you are race swap already established characters. Would you like it if they would make a remake of Black Panther and white wash every character? Also the last movie was five years ago plus the recently ended nine realms series, where we also see Astrid as she is since the beginning of the franchise. So I can understand why people are upset about this fact, I‘m too a bit, because they didn’t even put the effort into giving her fucking wig. It would worked and we wouldn’t have all this dilemma going around.

But it’s also important to not be racist towards the actress, we should either be offended at the people who put her on display like this. They do the same thing with every race swap, they use it as a shield and that is when you asked me racist. We should second guess their decision of race swaps and using them as a shield and we should out call them, not going against the actress, who can nothing for it, that the Hollywood executives are a punch of idiots.

And yeah it was a pretty stupid move from DeBlois to gaslight us fans. I wouldn't let him influence you and I wouldn't swallow the lie that they couldn't find another actress. I wouldn't put up with him trying to gaslight us either.

My conclusion is: it’s fine to wanting accuracy in a remake but it’s not ok to be racist towards the actors, because they are still people with feelings and Parker is still a young person, so this racism can also make some serious damage to her psychical health. Every human has the right to be treated with respect.

It’s ok if you don’t like the live action remake, I don’t like it either but we should be respectful towards the actors who play our beloved characters. They never said something bad about the movies, they were always respectful towards their characters and the franchise, which what they have said in the interviews. They don’t try to gaslight us like DeBlois or Universal in general with its milking of the httyd IP.

Fuck Hollywood Publicists and their propaganda lies

[tanadrin]

went back and listened to the episodes on david bokovoy's personal experience with religion, and man, it's funny just how different the stuff that people twig on in their experience of faith is--for bokovoy, even as a scholar of biblical criticism, it really isn't the truth claims of the LDS church that were ever a problem for him. like his academic career definitely primed him to move from a more orthodox, small-c conservative theology to a more expansive one (and he remains a pretty spiritual guy in general from the sound of it), but the thing that really started to fuck him up was the church's insistence on beating the anti-gay-marriage drum, starting with proposition 8, and culminating in the 2015 declaration about the children of gay parents not being welcome in the church unless they denounced them.

and it's a little infuriating to listen to him talk about how he feels about the LDS church after all of that--this whole "the leadership are good people deep down, i just disagree with them on this." like, come on, dude. i get that you're a straight guy whose experiences with mormonism have been generally very positive, but you are also self-aware enough to talk with compassion about LGBT people, about the experience of having a gay daughter, about the way in which people raised in Mormonism who are gay or even just a little bit nonconformist in some aspect of their life can have a really brutal time of it, and yet you cling to this idea of the organization as having some noble core, some inherently good quality that is only failing in its ultimate expression. he even talks about the experience of watching a movie that dramatizes the way different faith leaders came together during the civil rights movement, and having a moment of acute discomfort remembering that at the same time the leadership of the LDS church was still racist as hell in its teachings and policy

like, you should not be afraid to admit that the LDS church fucking sucks! it's always fucking sucked! most organized religion fucking sucks, and the organized religion that doesn't fucking suck has mostly gotten there by virtue of progressives splintering off and forming organizations that retain only a general flavor of the awful bullshit they grew up with and none of the core dogmas. i don't know of a human organization from the beginning of time that rigidly patrols boundaries of identity politics and creates structures of authority based on spirituality that didn't rapidly collapse into tyranny, a grift, or both, except the ones that were already that from the beginning.

and this, i suppose, is my disappointment with even the very open-minded progressives that John Dehlin interviews, which is that they want to redeem an organization that i think is fundamentally unredeemable. no particular shade to mormonism here--I think the Catholic church is also fundamentally unredeemable. hell, if i knew more about tibetan buddhism, i'd probably think that whole hierarchy was fundamentally unredeemable as well. the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints cannot become progressive on LGBT issues and honestly pursue truth and cease to misrepresent its history and spend its money on helping the poor and needy instead of conservative political campaigns and exploiting eighteen year olds to do morally questionable missionary work in third world countries without ceasing to be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and its leadership knows this. for the exact same reason the Roman Catholic church can't go "lol you know what, our bad, this Pope guy isn't all that he's cracked up to be" and remain the Roman Catholic church.

i mean ultimately bokovoy doesn't go to church anymore; he says that the 2015 declaration was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back, and even if it was revoked tomorrow, it's not like he'd start going back. i assume he's not tithing anymore either. and he seems like a generally very gentle soul who wants to see the best in people, and i don't want to get on his case too much about that, because i admire that. but man, i think it's kind of disappointing to watch someone as apparently smart and compassionate as he is work himself into knots to excuse the behavior of the leadership of an organization like that when the simplest explanation is just that these people are assholes on a fundamental level and always have been.

Sometimes i'm attacked by the urge to make a discord server to talk about Old Hollywood and host movie nights and discuss our favorite movies but i know damn well this is just me trying to force new people to watch Ronald Colman's entire filmography

[nanaruin90s]

BLM,2SLBGTQ+,MeToo and WOKE are out of Hollywood,FINALLY.

Go woke go broke.

[whalesfall]

generally I think the last thing anyone needs is more discourse on the barbie film. is it feminist to like girly things? is it more or less anti-capitalist to not watch it? is it--
