frank stans, how are we feeling?

i dont want to start anything but i would like to here peoples input on this- so, if youre gonna comment, be nice to each other please lol

im assuming that even though i havent seen much on it, the people here know about the ls dunes issues and related frank issues, but, to give a very short summary- ls dunes released an ai music video and when fans (rightfully) voiced their concern about the ethical implications of this, they doubled down, got defensive, and ended up saying some really harsh, hurtful things to fans. additionally, they have allowed "ai bros" to take over their fanbase and effectively bully original fans out of online spaces using homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic rhetoric. in the aftermath, frank made an antisemetic joke (seemingly accidentally) and fans tried to (very calmy and respectfully for the most part) inform him that it was offensive, but instead of simply apologizing and taking it down, or doing anything productive whatsoever, he got mad and started insulting fans and insisted that it was not antisemetic and that he had done nothing wrong/people couldnt "take a joke." i might be forgetting some things but, lastly, a friend and frequent photographer of ls dunes showed up to a party dressed as an ls dunes fan. his outfit consisted of a bright orange wig, and ls dunes beanie, fingerless skeleton gloves, and the ls dunes shirt with wolves on it that was designed by a fan. it was clearly an attempt to laugh at and make fun of fans, specifically girls and women in the fanbase, and, though it wasnt one of the band members wearing it, the fact that he felt that it was not only okay but also funny means that fans are likely a common , or at least not an uncommon, subject of jokes or ridicule in that circle. a lot of people are justifiably upset that a band who was initially so vocal about loving and supporting the fanbase that has loved and supported them for so many years would let this happen, especially after all of the shitty things that have done/allowed to be done to fans in the last few months

im 100% done with ls dunes at this point for a number of reasons (ai, the toxicity in the new fanbase, the bashing of the fans for expressing their concerns, this costume, etc), but im not sure how to feel about frank in all this. i know that he has had a part in all of the dunes shit, so im definitely not his number 1 fan anymore, but the other stuff like the doubling down on the antisemetic joke is still rubbing me the wrong way.

i am kind of having a hard time being objective about this because i have loved him and his music for so many years, so i was wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or input as to what theyre thinking about frank after this whole situation. i certainly dont think he is flawless, and i never have, but at this point, after everything that has happened, i feel uncomfortable continuing to "stan" him in the way that i have been, and i definitely dont feel comfortable going on as if nothing has happened. like.. ive had a frank profile picture since i got a twitter account, and same on here, but i changed it bc i dont want people to think i support some of the shit thats been going on, so i really dont know what to do here

thoughts, anyone?

[goatlingsvent]

Im coming back from a few months hiatus to peak in to see whats up for this monster masquerade. Having been aware of Big Bad Red before it was made into an offical design for specifically halloween...

Big bad red still looks like rip off RWBY's Ruby Rose, yknow, Ruby ROSE. Sure, less belts, but "specialize eyes" rwby ROSE fighting shadowy wolf creatures with the power of rose petals and "shadow essance" (dust).

Yeah why the fuck this fly? Thought we had been over this. Even if shes wearing a wig... thats still Ruby. If anything the hair make her look more like Ruby's mom, Summer Rose.

Like there are ways, to take inspo from Little Red Riding hood, that does not make Red look like Ruby 2.0 yknow.

Abyssal looks like a design from last year that dropped the pirate aspect of the design, but the theming still isnt bad and at least clearly isnt ripping off a design that now hows ties to fucking DC comics. (RWBY has offical crossover content with DC)

Like it has too many similarities, and long hair doesnt really change the design enough for that fact to go away.

Like the only reason that design made it offical is because staff bias for Berrymilk. Thats it. It shouldnt be offical and should be very much redesigned or not have been considered at all.

I get the idea is maybe little red riding werewolf, but it fails to communicate that properly at all, and those who know about RWBY at all will more likely think about the similarities.

Additionally, beyond gothic = roses and court of thorns fantasy genrricness, there is no need for a rose motif, and creates a unnecessary parallel to RWBY, it would be way more interesting and story telling driven if they gave her a crossbow, and generally did away with rose morif.

Also the mismatched ears dont give shes transforming into a wolf, it gives common AI mistake. And i didnt even notice beyond it was bugging me the ears items didnt match the ears she had- until i realized it matched one of them.

Also in RWBY's RED trailor, shes assoicated with snow.

Tldr: Werewolf Red Hood cool idea, unfortunately fails to communicate that and instead makes too many similarities to another, copy righted little red riding character, and rreeeallly shpuld have dropped the rose motif.

not to be a conspiracy theorist, but ima put my tinfoil hat on and take a gander that these new phones with the cameras are also sending footage either live or snippets every so often to an item identifying ai ? or has it built in, and is selling that footage. theres a book series i was lent, a couple/few months back? (no phones present, we didnt talk about it i didnt search anything about it) and only when i had the two items in the room together last night did i get an advertisement about it. truly sickening. this isnt even a genre i have interest in, which is why it took so long to read (i never finished it mind you)

ive known they're listening in for more than a decade now.

i dont really give a shit if im given ads about things ive searched about. really, honest, i know how this thing is supposed to work. but it's so repulsively invasive now and im convinced all a vpn and adblocker will do is give me a blindfold so i dont have to look at it (and the bonus of less malware) like, the info is still gonna be in the market, out there.

im rather frustrated and utterly wigged out. i hate it. i hate camera phones recording phones filming phones they dont even sell regular normal phone-call phones anymore and dont get me started on the "smart" tvs, computers, doorbells, whatever else you can think of? its probably gotten a version expertly crafted. and its out there watching everything just to sell your personal life like some fucked up auctionary livestream documentary.

in a world you cant even choose to buy something normal yet must have one with the state of social and work culture could one possibly attempt to argue that theres even an illusion of a choice?!?

HONESTLY! IM LOOSING MY SHIT HERE! THANKS!

[depvotee]

First & last art of my fave oc

was tagged by @lobanhart @shellibisshe to show the first and last art with my favorite character (s). B)c Im choosing 3:

Jason Hale (2020 - 2021 (and more to go baby!) )

Holy shit, look at him ;-; man I- LOOK

I think Jason can see more clear how much I've changed style wise? how I went from wobbly lines to more sharp and more bold colors. I always feel so comfortable while drawing him because I know exactly how he is, even when im having bad art time Jason makes me feel comfy.

Quinn Baldaev (Becker) (2019-2021)

Marid Cain (2020-0)acter on the left (Anita) belongs to @/dorkousloris

Quinn what a fucking chad man. some lanky barracuda to the big chunky I envisioned. Anyways Quinn has a "DIFFICULT" story bc I used to draw him a lot but he is the total opposite to Jason, he made me insecure bc as you can see on the first one I dont have a precise style for him and the nose always gave me trouble. (without mentioning a huge depressive ep I had in this time) Im not gonna lie the fandom he used to be part of also made me pretty insecure and yes I might done a lot of art but most of it made me feel burnt out. When I finally left it's the exact moment I made Jason, after a while I said fuck it let's give him another try and well, I like new Quinn way more bc I know exactly who they are, I love my big asshole and now I enjoy to work more on him later on.

Marid Cain (2020-2021)

LOOK HOW FAST THEY GROW!!!

Marid was also an asshole that gave me a ton of trouble, also with the fact that I really didnt knew much abt the plot before making him (something I like to know so I can make a character to fit) In any case, the bottom bitch to mean sloppy toppy pipeline. I finally said wig it and lean more towards the tabletop and a theme on my cp2077 characters that I take an aspect of the game I like but wasnt as much explored and make these bitches fill in the gap. Marid on this case is to fill the AI one, he's a netrunner and takes it as a religious expirience. Marid and Jason are the characters ive putted a lot of faith themes very different from the other but I like em both and Marid and Quinn have the same asshole vibes but different as in Quinn on a grudge and Marid as metal head.

[in-a-cave-with]

can you make a list of every mavel comic you've ever read (good and bad) i just finished iron man (1998) and i thoroughly loved it with all its best and weird bits

GOOD™

iron man stuff:

tales of suspense (1963) – a classic. 100/10. would read several times

iron man vol 1 (1968) – i’m on, like, issue 20 out of 300 something but it’s also very very good! the drama..the action……..wig

iron man vol 3 (1998) – obv i know youve read this one anon but for anyone out there starting comics this one’s SUPER good, and also Love Is Stored In The Tonyru

iron man vol 4 (2005) – listen this comic. so great, so iconic. maya hansen! epic fights! director stark! good art except for, like, the 6 issues of execute program but execute program is such a good story arc that you wont even notice! 

iron man noir (2010) – INDIANA JONES AU TONY STARK, LITERALLY THE BEST CONCEPT MARVEL’S COME UP WITH. PEAK COMICS IRONFAM

iron man legacy (2010) – i enjoyed this one a lot! i’m kind of confused as to, like, what’s going on but it’s fun

iron man season one (2013) – ok so this is, like, a modern remake of tony’s origin story and it’s..kind of average imo but thats ok! bc you can just look at the very very pretty pictures

iron man fatal frontier (2013) – tony becomes governor of the moon and fights doom! also he takes down an ai with weaponized fanfiction somewhere in there. read this one with a .cbr reader

invincible iron man vol 2 (2015) – gonna maybe fuck around and rec bendis’ entire iron man run bc . the art is gorgeous and the story isn’t the strongest but tony’s characterization is v good 

international iron man (2016) – ok i dont remember what happens in this one but alex maleev’s art is literally god 

invincible iron man vol 3 (2016) – RIRI WILLIAMS!!!! AND ALSO AI TONY STARK (MY SON MY BOY WHOM I LOVE)!!!!

other stuff:

new avengers vol 1 (2005) – as i have said before. new avengers GOT the sauce. stevetony and caroljess on one team was too powerful so marvel had to break em up with civil war . also stop reading this comic when you get to civil war

civil war: casualties of war (2007) and civil war: the confession (2007) – these are both oneshot comics and also the Only Civil War Content You Need To Subject Yourself To

spider-man noir (2010) – a break from the avengers stuff to tell you that this comic is very brutal and also very good

secret invasion (2010) – ok avengers emh did it better™ but this is still very neat! also it’s pretty trippy so its got that going for it too

siege (2010) – i dont understand what’s going on but the art is very good. also the avengers get to beat up norman osborn’s bitch ass

avengers prime (2011) – apparently this is the “stevetony bible” and …honestly there isn’t anything i can say in objection to that

avengers vol 4 (2010) – this comic is SUPER fun. after the fear itself tie ins the art and story get pretty eugh though so be careful

fear itself (2012) – BEST BEST BEST!!! my favorite crossover event in comics, with cool art and a badass storyline

captain marvel vol 4 (2012) – can we get a yeehaw for CAROL DANVERS . hell yeah. this is her first run with the name captain marvel and it’s Very Good

avengers: the enemy within (2014) – captain marvel vol 4 ends on a cliffhanger and the storyline’s capped off here

avengers vol 5 (2013) – ok so *clown noises* i haven’t exactly finished it but…this is the One Was Life The Other Was Death comic and it’s super good from what ive read so far

hawkeye (2013) – matt fraction’s run! everyone and their dog wants you to read it and you absolutely should if you have not. not too sure abt the volume numbering but heres a link to download in TPBs, it’s volumes 1-4

captain marvel vol 5 (2014) – this is the volume featuring chewie (!!) and carol in outer space with the guardians of the galaxy (!!!). super fun in general, would read again

ms marvel (2014) – again i am VERY confused as to what the official issue/volume numbering is, but here’s a list of TPBs that collect pretty much every kamala khan comic pre 2019 (im gonna rec all of them bc kamala is a treasure)

doctor strange vol 3 (2015) – literally everything i want from a comic tbh, also chris bachalo’s art is amazing

marvel 1872 (2015) – no one actually calls this Stevetony Bible 2 but lbr it’s basically Stevetony Bible 2

all-new all-different avengers (2015) – BEST AVENGERS TEAM EVER. EVER. PLEASE BENDIS WHY DID YOU BREAK THIS TEAM UP IM SAD

the unbelievable gwenpool (2016) – oh god oh fuck it’s miss GWEN POOLE . this comic is super funny and also surprisingly heartfelt, plus the art is . mmm.

champions (2016) – the gen z superhero team, i love all of them so much. i can almost forgive marvel for ending anad avengers

hunt for wolverine: adamantium agenda (2018) – so this is, after 11 goddamn years, closure for the first civil war regarding tony and the new avengers that sided with steve. amazing.

the life of captain marvel (2018) – the carol origin retcon is…eh. but it’s still very good! think of it as carol’s international iron man

avengers: back to basics (2018) – kamala goes back in time and accidentally reveals tony’s secret identity and it’s the funniest fucking thing

captain marvel (2019) – the first issue is everyone bullying tony which sucks but DONT LET THAT GET YOU DOWN bc it’s, like, actually good and also tony appears more in later issues without getting bullied

war of realms (2019) – i guess it’s a marvel rule that all crossover comics having to do with asgard are Top Notch? anyway

loki (2019) – AMAZING loki shenanigans and also the REAL reason you needed to read war of realms tbh

ironheart (2019) – gosh i love riri williams so much she’s so GREAT and you should DEFINITELY READ THIS

QUESTIONABLE™:

invincible iron man vol 1 (2008) – matt fraction’s iron man run…it’s ..ok story wise? however the characterization is a lil off at times and the art is HORRIBLE

iron man vol 5 (2013) – ok so this comic is super weird ? because it’s nice that tony spends time out in space but also it confirms that he’s a furry apparently. pretty much the only truly average iron man comic

avengers vol 8 (2018) – okay so i really like the art and the story’s okay but there’s a bit where tony flirts w carol and it’s the most ooc thing ive ever seen and that’s enough to land it in the questionable category

tony stark: iron man (2018) – i debated over whether to put this here or in the Bad™ category BUT valerio schiti’s art is too beautiful and the rhodeytony content fuels me. also issues 12 and 13 (war of realms) written by gail simone are pretty good. unfortunately dan slott wrote the rest and it AINT IT CHIEF

gwenpool strikes back (2019) – it starts off strong in the first issue but goes downhill from there and tbh it’s not really respectful of the previous gwenpool run

magnificent ms marvel (2019) – ok listen i love kamala a lot but if theres gonna be a romance plot between her and bruno it’s the electric chair

BAD. AVOID AT ALL COSTS™

iron man vol 2 (1996) – just. don’t touch this. it’s a hot mess

civil war (2006) – i hate this. so much. it’s unreal. all you need to know is that steve was real close to killing tony in the end but surrendered when he saw that he no longer had the moral high ground. and also steve got assassinated right before he was going to be put on trial

mighty avengers (2007) – this comic had the potential to be SO good. unfortunately the artists for the actual avengers issues don’t respect women at all

superior iron man (2015) – they made tony evil and i could not be more angry with it. who even fucking wants to read this theres not even any emotional payoff for any of this

civil war ii (2016) – i would hit this stupid comic in the knees if i could. there is not a single c*vil w*r with rights. all you need to know is that carol put tony into a coma and it’s super ooc

iron man 2020 (2020) – listen i know this comic hasn’t come out yet but it has all the ingredients to be EVEN WORSE than superior iron man which is saying a lot.

this took way too much effort

[aibafiles]

3, 5, 12, 15, 18, 24. SPILL EVERYTHING.

so i had a whole entire response to this and then tumblr fucking ATE IT so let’s try this again huh

What’s something you regret buying, but you just can’t get rid of it?

wigs. wigs, wigs, wigs. i have so many i’ve bought and never done anything with - i really should be selling them tbh. i have one from that year my friends and I said we were gonna do a kyoukai no kanata idol group and then that never happened… but i’m still up for it if there’s interest I BOUGHT THE WIG AND AI’S OUTFIT IS SUPER CUTE SO PLEASE CAN WE

What was your favorite school project you ever made?

so in my senior year our whole english class partnered up for projects, and my partner and I did, uh, hamlet in the style of dr. seuss. I did the art, he did the text, and IIRC the meter was kinda wonky but I had so much fun drawing it

also that time i made the chartres labyrinth out of matchsticks and hot glue in 7th grade

Favorite scent?

warm chocolate chip cookies! lavender is pretty nice too

What is always in your wallet that doesn’t need to be?

gotta play the “what’s in batts’s purse? i dont even know!” game all over again, except it’s boring because im typing it all out again and i do know

so, in no particular order:

-membership card to local rec center that MIGHT be expired but i dont go anyways

-lots of artist alley business cards

-tons of expired cards, a deactivated moviepass, an ORCA card that i’m kind of in the wrong state to use now (related: once - in my WA student housing - my roommate - who is from WA - gave me a gift card to sweet frog - which is a froyo chain that doesn’t have locations anywhere near or in the state. so i was kinda like how did you get this?? why??? but thanks i’ll use it when i go home)

-kinokuniya membership card (closest one is in NY D:)

-digipen meal card (once i used this to get a student discount because i didn’t have my ID on hand. it worked. wonder if i could still do that despite no longer going there)

-hotel key card i accidentally held onto WHOOPS

-gamestop gift card i dont remember ever getting

-this:

What was your pet peeve when you had a substitute teacher in school?

they got my name wrong a lot but that was more a source of amusement b/c it’s always fun to see what new pronunciations people come up with (this is not unique to subs of course, but most teachers learn pretty quick EXCEPT my 8th grade science teacher who NEVER called anyone by name - just “yes?” when you raised your hand - who i discovered didnt know how to pronounce my name when he tried getting my attention on a school-sponsored spring break trip. it was. something)

anyways i dont have a pet peeve but i had this elementary school sub who was always very “when i was your age”/”kids these days” at us. chill

What is the strangest website you have bookmarked?

i figured out the reason i can’t post this! it’s because of the external links! so that’s garbage.

uh, i dont have anything super out there, but the megalovania stepmania video  i had bookmarked was a bit of a surprise

send me a number?

We are in a pokey costumier’s workshop somewhere in the bowels of the Almeida theatre in Islington in north London. It’s not much more than a broom cupboard really, and Ben Whishaw sits on a stool amid the clothes and faceless Styrofoam wig-stands sipping a cup of tea. He seems happy.

All actors — particularly once they become successful — like to go on about how much they just love doing theatre. With Whishaw this is genuinely, honestly true. Ever since he arrived, fully formed, as Trevor Nunn’s Hamlet aged only 23, he has continued to return to the stage even as his screen career has blossomed. It’s almost impossible for him to do TV without being at least nominated for some award — Criminal Justice, The Hour, London Spy — and his film roles are as varied as they are acclaimed: John Keats in Bright Star, Keith Richards in Stoned and supporting turns in Suffragette and The Danish Girl. There are also his regular gigs as Q to Daniel Craig’s James Bond and, of course, the voice of Paddington Bear. Yet for all that here he is, backstage and back in rehearsals, drifting contentedly through the organised chaos of theatre company life.

“I love that about doing plays,” he says softly. “I love being part of a group of people, part of a troupe. It suits me. There’s no etiquette. It’s a profession that is really accepting of everyone’s oddities.” He smiles. “All sorts of people are actors.”

What sort of person is Whishaw? This has not always been an easy question to answer. Over the years a composite image has emerged of a fierce talent who is nevertheless guarded, opaque and fragile. His appearance (skinny, elfin) and manner (gentle, modest) add to this perception. Only, he explains, we’ve got the wrong idea. “Sometimes I get really annoyed because people think I’m going to be cute. And nice. And I’m not very nice sometimes. And I’m not very cute really,” he says, frowning in a way that, to be honest, is quite cute. “There’s this notion that I might be sensitive and shy. Which is partly true. But I can be grumpy and angry and irritable.”

He chuckles and drinks his tea. Still, it’s only fair to point out that these preconceptions about Whishaw are not totally unfounded. Now 36 years old, he says that during his twenties he struggled badly with performance anxiety. “I suffered a lot of awful, terrible nerves and stomach pains,” he says. “Really debilitating things. You realise that other people are dependent on you doing well. Money. All sorts of things become part of the equation. I remember not sleeping because I was so stressed.”

For a very long time he was by his own admission anxious about submitting himself to scrutiny. We knew he grew up in Hertfordshire, went to Rada and has a non-identical twin brother who doesn’t act? Beyond that? Not loads. Talking about himself is still not his favourite thing in the world. “I find interviews quite nerve- racking,” he says apologetically, but explains that he’s trying harder to not get stressed about them or to second- guess what people might make of him. He stops and regards me with what looks a lot like sympathy. “I understand,” he says. “It’s the pressure of your job to capture an essence of somebody, which I suppose is very difficult.”

He thinks he used to use his reputation for shyness as a defence mechanism. “Maybe you can end up playing a role or something?” he says. “Behaving in a certain way because you think people are going to expect that of you. And it becomes a place that’s quite comfortable because you’ve been there before. So you just trot it out again.”

One big change — perhaps the big change — came in the wake of Whishaw coming out as gay in 2011. “I definitely feel like I’m more relaxed as a person,” he says. “I don’t know if that makes you a better actor or more available or anything, but it’s certainly lovely not to have to be worrying about keeping something private. That’s a really, really good feeling. It makes me realise that I spent a long time — too long, really — in a private agony about something. About it.”

So that’s good. He’s also “become really obsessed with this amazing Buddhist nun who teaches meditation practice that is all about acceptance of whatever comes up. About being OK with things being uncomfortable.” This has also helped him to become more sanguine. “You see yourself. Your own mad thoughts, your repetitive thoughts and your own blind spots. It’s very easy to think that everyone else is nuts and you’re sane, but you’re really not,” he says cheerfully.

Madness, as it happens, permeates the play he is about to appear in. Against, by Christopher Shinn, is about a Silicon Valley tech magnate called Luke who believes he is in communication with God, who has given him the task of ending all violence on Earth. It’s a powerful work — occasionally frightening and certainly not the satire it could be — with this well-meaning but eerily detached protagonist at its centre.

“He is vaguely modelled on someone like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos, and he’s involved in AI and rockets and thinking about the future. But before the play begins he has had this revelation and God has spoken to him and issued an instruction to him to ‘go where there is violence’. So we meet someone at the beginning of the play who is a changed man.”

Whishaw says that, to prepare for the role of Luke, he spent a lot of time on YouTube. “I did begin by watching a lot of TED Talks, people being interviewed, Elon Musk showing people around his factory. And actually, in that sense, it feels very much a play of the moment because there are so many of these people talking about mankind with a messianic, visionary zeal. But the biggest challenge is trying to understand what it feels like to really, truly believe you have been spoken to by God. That’s the thing. That’s the centre of it.”

Whishaw admits what most actors don’t: that he’s competitive when it comes to his career and getting the roles he wants. “I’m definitely competitive, yeah. And I definitely want things for myself. Yeah. Definitely. And I think that’s good.” Has he ever gone up for parts and missed out on them, and felt angry about it? Pissed off? “There are one or two things,” he says a little airily, smiling to himself. “One or two things where I’ve thought . . . I could have done that. I should have done that.”

For a long time he was down to play Freddie Mercury in a forthcoming biopic. The Queen guitarist, Brian May, had said that he hoped Whishaw would get the role, because “he’s fabulous, a real actor”, but that’s fallen through, Whishaw says. He was up for it, but he says there’s no hard feelings. “I don’t really understand what happened myself, but just one day I wasn’t doing it. And somebody else was. And it’s fine. It was just one of those funny things that happen sometimes in the way that films get made.”

Whishaw will be back in the theatre in the new year when he plays Brutus in Julius Caesar, one of the eagerly awaited productions in the first season of Nicholas Hytner’s new London start-up venue, the Bridge Theatre. He has also just finished filming Mary Poppins Returns, a sequel to the classic 1964 musical in which he plays a grown-up Michael Banks. The film is released at the end of next year. “I sing in it,” he says, but then backpedals slightly. “Well, it’s more like talking-singing. It’s Emily Blunt playing Mary Poppins and my sister, Jane, is played by Emily Mortimer. It was wonderful fun.” In fact, he says that doing these big Hollywood numbers are invariably a laugh. “I don’t think a job is more noble or valuable for not being fun. Although I think I used to.”

Playing Michael Banks was a particular pleasure given that Mary Poppins was the first film he saw. “My dad taped it off the telly. I watched it in the way that my niece and nephew watch Frozen. Over and over and over again.”

In 2012 Whishaw entered into a civil partnership with the Australian composer Mark Bradshaw. They met during the filming of Bright Star and live together in east London. “We’re quite weird. Music relaxes me, but it doesn’t relax Mark because it’s Mark’s thing,” he says, meaning that the last thing Bradshaw wants at the end of a long day of listening to music is to listen to more music. “So we always have a tussle about when I can play my music. He’ll hate me for saying that.”

Bradshaw produced the score for the latest season of Top of the Lake, the crime drama featuring Elisabeth Moss. Whishaw says that he recently gorged on it. “I just watched the whole thing in one day and what Elisabeth Moss did in it was really inspiring to me. I thought: ‘F***! That’s reminded me why this job is such a great thing to do.’ ” Was the music any good? He nods with faux-solemnity. “The music was good as well.”

Someone knocks on the door to say it’s time to go back to rehearsals. Whishaw seems slightly relieved, but he’s trying his best. “In the past I might have been very defensive about a whole load of things. And I’m telling myself not to be that,” he says. He’s still shy and sensitive and all the rest of it, but nothing like he used to be. “I’m probably a little bit more confident in myself. A bit more relaxed in myself. More relaxed in my own body.” He is, despite his protestations, every bit as cute and as nice as we imagine. He’s also a brilliant actor. All said, there are worse things to be. Against is at the Almeida, London N1 (020 7359 4404), to September 30

HAIR TALK // PARLONS CHEVEUX

Hello loves! So today I wanted to have a little hair talk because I’m really loving my new wig and wanted to share it with you!

Coucou! Aujourd’hui je voulais faire un article un peu différent et aborder un de mes sujets préférés: les cheveux.

Soooooo this is my new hair. Well I mean wig. For those that know me know that since middle school I have always been into hair. I remember seven, eight years ago, with a friend we used to get hooked up with YouTube videos and channels owned by black girls, dedicated to our hairstyles and stuff. From that we became real hair products junkies. We were so into hair and at that time YouTube was the place to be to get advices on how to get your hair laid. So when I was in middle school I started wearing weaves and stick to it until very early 2016, on my second year of university. I’ve always had weaves even if sometimes I had braids or rocked my natural hair. But, now that I’ve grew up I’m more into wigs and I’m so into it that I can barely remember the last time I wore a weave but I definitely was the last! Now, wearing wigs is more convenient to me. Of course, like pretty much everything, it has it’s pros and cons. I’m not getting into that but I see more pros than cons. Maybe I’ll do another post about wig/weave pros and cons later if you want.

A little story: My first wig was made by my mom’s friend who’s an african hairstylist and it was made with my 22inch indian hair and a closure. I don’t wear that wig because the closure is pretty messed up. For now I own four wigs: a short cut black one, this dark red one that I’m wearing (yes, in real life the hair is actually a dark red color but the lighting turn it into purple hair), a straight black one and a loose deep curly one. I can also make a post about my four wigs and how I style or for which occasion I wear them and their particularities. Let me know! 

This is the hair color without any filter even if the lighting touch it up and turn it into purple meanwhile it’s actually a dark red tone. // La couleur sans filtre même si la lumière extérieure modifie la couleur (qui est rouge foncée) naturelle.

Donc voici ma nouvelle coiffure. Enfin, ma nouvelle perruque. Oui, oui. Pour ceux et celles qui me connaissent savent que j’ai toujours été intéressée par les cheveux en général. Je me rappelle, il y a maintenant sept, huit ans, avec une amie on était toujours absorbées par les vidéos YouTube sur ce sujet. Après ça nous sommes devenues réellement accro aux produits, soins, etc. A l’époque YouTube était la meilleure plateforme pour en apprendre davantage. Quand j’était en 4ème/5ème, j’ai sauté le pas et je me suis initiée aux tissages. De-là, j’en ai toujours porté jusqu’à fin 2016, durant ma deuxième année à l’université. Alors, bien sûr ce n’était pas tout-le-temps des tissages; il y avait des jours où je laissais quand même mes cheveux naturels respirer, puis je m’en lassais et faisais tout simplement des nattes libres ou collées. Maintenant je suis beaucoup plus intéressée par les perruques que je trouve plus pratique. Elles ont, comme pour toute chose, leurs avantages ainsi que leurs inconvénients. Je ne rentrerais pas dans les détails mais pour ma part, j’observe plus d’avantages que d’inconvénients. Je ferais un prochain article là-dessus si vous voulez.

Une petite histoire: Ma première perruque a été confectionnée par une amie de ma mère qui est coiffeuse et qui s’y connait très bien en tissages/perruques/mèches etc. J’ai fourni trois liasses de 22 pouce, cheveux indiens ainsi qu’une closure. Deux liasses suffisent largement à la confection d’une perruque mais on peut toujours en rajouter pour un rendu plus fourni. Attention à ne pas dépasser les 4/5 liasses car ça devient vite bouffant et chargé. Pour l’instant je possède quatre perruques dont celle ci-dessus, une courte noire, une lisse longue noire ainsi qu’une medium ondulée noire.

This is what it looks like when I put a filter on, which is way more intense. // Lorsque je met un filtre la couleur est tout de suite plus intense.

excited feminine doll owner

hi there anyone !

i am planning on shopping for my first doll very soon, so i thought i might make myself familiar on these boards

my call is feminine dolls a year or 2 ago, however due to the fact that i live inside the netherlands, it might be a lot hassle uploading a doll, with a variety of greater expenses. so these days i found the female doll ladies, and they have an ecu factory now ! also i virtually like jap and asian girls, and the older i grow to be, the stronger that feeling turns into. because of this i have even been getting to know the japanese language, and had the plan to perhaps pass stay there someday !

omg you men, this girl needs to be a clone made proper out of my desires ! pointless to say after seeing this, i’ve been not able to set my thoughts to do anything else, and am seeking to get all the records and stuff collectively so i can place my order asap, and permit the painfully 8 week wait start !

for gods sake, i’m even fantasizing approximately this lady already , and once I wake up, she’s the primary element it really is on my thoughts. i’ve to mention, this kinda disturbs / scares me a piece, that she will be able to have this sort of effect on me.

i am allready on the factor wherein i’m able to adequately say that i’d opt for lilica over some other lady ! the idea that i could be cuddling together with her, makes me very satisfied. i additionally appear to be not able to love else at this moment, i can not imagine what its gonna be like when the eight week waiting length begins, i feel i would move insane , oh my the times are creeping by using .. (what the hell has came about to me!?)

so i’m working out all the information i need to recognize, so i’m able to order the sort of asap (preferably earlier than the stop of oktober, due to the fact they’ve this smashing cut price offer !)

every other men out there that have a woman from dollstory in france ? i have been sending them a few e-mails, (with a group of questions) but they’re a bit gradual at replying regrettably. perhaps i am simply being way to impatient however i mean, c’mon guys ! i should have lilica in my life asap! ! you apprehend proper ?

my female may have the following specifications:

frame kind : ai doll s+ skin color : medium head (call) : lilica eyes shade : light brown wig reference : 4 + brown center comb lengthy nipple shade : horny/brown areolas size : medium nails shape : spherical nails coloration : french manicure toenails alternative : sure toenails coloration : natural vagina type : practical labias shape : l pubic hair style : none pubic colour : n/a useful fingers alternative : yes soft face choice : yes

so a few questions.

i plan on sound asleep with this female. (i’ve had some onenight stands, and some women dont spend the night, which i certainly loathe !) i’ve been slumbering alone now in a 2 man or woman awful for a few years, and i honestly pass over snoozing together with a person.

any of you men have “enjoy” with this ? can i put my hand round her waste, or lay it on her chest for a full night time, without getting marks on her skin ? have you ever “damaged” your female in any way after waking up ?

also since i will be taking the soft-stomach alternative, may want to i sleep on her belly ? or would it deform or get my face imprinted ?

with the practical arms option, are you able to keep hands ? like intertwining your arms among hers , or is the hand to fragile for this ?

any of you’ve got a pet cat ? how does it reply to your girl ? due to the fact i’ve a cat, i assume i must just go away her in bed, and placed cover her under the sheets. am i able to try this adequately, with out her getting marks or recoloring ?

if i take a display with her (omg so excited) , can i just dry her of with a everyday towel ? i read which you observe infant powder while the pores and skin is dry, wont this make it sticky ? (had a fleshlight, and placing powder on it makes it sense like a slimeball) i absolutely want to avoid my girl feeling sticky or something. also, are there any vanilla scented products i could use on her with out detrimental the pores and skin?

man i certainly hope ds is gonna solution my questions in time so i’m able to region this burning order

i’ll cut of my publish here, considering that it is becoming a large wall of text

cya guys !
