y’all mind if i yap about the walton gq interview a bit?

okay shoutout to my friend ash for manifesting this interview after danny did his LMAO

FIRST THOUGHTS: WHERE THE FUCK IS VENUS???

if you asked me his most iconic characters, venus is absolutely in the top three. how the fuck do they mention BILLY CRASH and JAY WHITTLE but not VENUS VAN DAM???? fuck whoever came up with this list.

now that that’s out of my system, let’s go in order, shall we?

lee russell: ty walton for describing russell fucking perfectly. him and i are the only people who understand russell. (jk) ALSO YESSS THE DUCK LIPS BUT SIR CAN YOU SAY A LINE. PLEASEEE. on my knees. MOST IMPORTANTLY; WALTON SHIPS GAMBYRUSSELL. FUCK YESSSS 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 LOVE WINS

cooper howard: snore. i’m so fucking bored of this guy. are we not tired of hearing shit about the goddamn ghoul. moving on.

shane vendrell: STOP MAKING ME WATCH LEM DIE. CHRIST. but thank you again walton for focusing more on the shield than on your biggest piece of shit character!! and when he started talking ‘psychological condition’ it reminded me of how i’m like almost certain shane is bipolar. wonder if he’d agree w me on that? anyways.

boyd crowder: WHYYYY DO THEY HAVE TO PLAY THE FINAL SCENE HOLY FUCKING SHIT I ALMOST CRIED AGAIN. so thankful to mr. olyphant for convincing walton to do justified. their chemistry IS SO PALPABLE. his love for boyd and raylan and justified in general is so fucking precious to me and it makes the show so much more special and it would absolutely not be justified if it weren’t for his spectacular input. i could listen to him blab on about that show all fucking day, it’s the whole reason i love him. beautiful fucking words to describe it. just speechless. much love to this man. ‘raylan givens is an asshole. but he’s my asshole.’ WE KNOW YOU’RE THE ORIGINAL RAYLANBOYD SHIPPER, BABE. 🩶

baby billy freeman: this bit was JAM PACKED w info and i loved it sm. really shocked they just came up w him on the spot but you could really tell cuz he’s like the perfect combination of walton’s ideas and danny’s ideas cultivated into this old man. too bad he didn’t mention that he was inspired by his dad again, lol.

billy crash: this part was like a bit confusing to me cuz i have heard different stories about how he got the role from other sources but it’s good to get some confirmation. pretty akin to what i heard, though. also giggled a bit when he said you don’t change what quentin writes cuz tarantino himself said ‘someone’ wanted to change the ending of django. but y’all didn’t hear that from me, lmao. always love to watch billy crash writhing in pain. :)

chris mannix: also a lot of new info for this one!! although i already knew about all the drama about h8 and the leak and all that, it’s interesting to hear the process the actors went through. would’ve paid millions to hear him do his voice. also why is he gatekeeping info, UGH. all i wanna know is if he had an encounter with tarantino’s punsihment dildo for falling asleep on set. lmfao.

the hero / jay whittle: okay, at first i was kinda pissed that he got a spot instead of venus, but this might’ve been my favorite segment aside from boyd’s. I never really find anything about him talking about his time on set of I’m a virgo so this was such a nice treat. i LOVE how he approaches each one of his characters, it’s so special and is why each one of them are so special and different from any other character you’ve ever seen. the wig story was fucking hilarious and it’s just so sweet how he says let’s figure this person out together. such a wonderful guy. it is SUCH a BEAUTIFUL story with a POWERFUL message and i adore how he recognized that. and the way he described jay? CHEF’S FUCKING KISS. mid-life crisis superhero who behaves like an alcoholic and is incapable of seeing different than his own pov? walt, you’re a fucking genius. his closing statement was absolute beauty.

anyways thanks for reading my ramble.

[sakurabaneku]

local idiot spends a long ass time styling a wig that doesnt even really need that much styling

[mermaidsirennikita]

omg becoming elizabeth truly has nothing going for it. people are sticking around for this poor mans timmy chamalet-esqe robert dudley and the blank wall in a red wig...

So.... yeah. I saw the first three episodes to give it the old college and decided that for many reasons, it wasn't for me. Then the fifth episode dropped and everybody lost their shit so I watched that in order to properly critique it and like... Yeah. The issues I had with the first three episodes plotwise... followed through.

To be clear, I think that even without those issues it's not a great show. It's pretty flat. Tom Cullen, ironically playing the Worst Man, is probably giving the most energetic performance. Otherwise, it's all pretty standard period piece-ing, except you can tell that they don't want it to be. They're really leaning in to the Tudor!Succession vibe, or attempting to, with the musical choices, some of the editing--but the energy of the show is still very staid and standard Tudor fare, but from the boring side versus the soapy side. It's employing a lot of soapy elements, but it Demands to Be Taken Seriously!!!

And it's like... You can't.... Demand to Be Taken Seriously... When your first episode features a dead cut from "the queen is so sad that the king is dead :(" to Catherine Parr's getting it flipped AND reversed by Thomas Seymour, after which he goes "did the king ever make you come like that" in what can only be described in a JRM!H8-esque moment. Like. Pick a lane. Because you don't have the juice to be Taken Seriously and High Soap Drama. A few shows have that juice.... this doesn't.

You definitely can't be taken seriously with this Seymour/Elizabeth plot, which.....

Here's the deal. I think the complaints about the actress looking too old for this part are correct. And it's ridiculous to suggest that they ever would have cast a minor in this role, right--like, the scripts were laid out well in advance, they knew they'd be having Elizabeth have sex (lmao I said I wanted more sex on TV BUT NOT LIKE THIS) and therefore the actress was going to have to be a legal adult. Obviously, I get why you wouldn't want to pick a fresh 18 year old for this kind of work, but like... Tbh, find a super babyfaced 21 year old who can act. How hard is that?

Because... and I'll be blunt here. I don't think Alicia is especially talented. I think she's very dry. I think that she is reeeeeaching with this performance to come off as much younger than she is, and it's causing her to fall into a very contrived and distracting manner of speech that I just can't... take seriously. She's not good enough to justify the fact that she doesn't look remotely close to 13-15. I think there are girls who could have physically taken on the role and easily matched this performance or surpassed it.

What you lose when you have someone who looks all their 28 years playing this role is the horror of it. It's easy for people who aren't dialed into this history to forget how old Elizabeth is. She and Thomas Seymour do not look that far off in age. Tom Cullen is about 8 years older than Alicia; Thomas Seymour was 25 years older than Elizabeth. The impact is significantly dulled by this failure.

But the thing is... No matter what they say in interviews--I think they wanted the impact stifled. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too; to court wokeness by saying that they were shedding a light on the abuse Elizabeth suffered, still a very murkily discussed subject today, while also offering a "sexy soap". I have nothing against sexy soaps; I prefer them. But a man sexually assaulting a child isn't sexy? And shouldn't be portrayed as such?

It is being portrayed as such. In that scene where he molested Elizabeth (fingering her, to put it bluntly) the bosoms are practically heaving. The lighting is dim. It's intimate. He's asking for consent, and she technically gives it (though, like, could she? Actually?). The emphasis is on her pleasure. Regardless of whether or not Thomas Seymour did go even that far with Elizabeth, I feel like it probably wouldn't have been this like... sensual experience. As your first fingerbanging usually isn't when it's NOT AN ASSAULT....

Obviously, I know that the point of grooming is that things don't always feel like an assault immediately to the victim. Many have even "enjoyed" it in the moment, which compounds the trauma often. But this is a TV show. There are ways of depicting a moment that may be ambiguous in an individual's head, while telling the viewer what is happening. And I feel that, especially in this moment in time especially, it's irresponsible to portray the assault of a child as sexy to the audience.

I know that they know how to do it in a less sexy manner because we have the contrasting scene of Elizabeth having sex with (being raped by) Thomas--she "consents", but it's this jerky, awkward, traumatic moment. The light is bright, the sexy whispers are gone, he's just basically humping her while she looks... concerned is what I think they were going for? It's gross. If she was an adult and it wasn't her first time, at minimum you would call it a bad fuck. It's compounded by the fact that she is a child, this is her first time, and this man was literally married to her stepmother. We the audience are basically told that Elizabeth knows something was off, but she also has feelings for him. I don't think the show ever needed to go there with Elizabeth and Seymour having sex--I tend to think it didn't happen, but even aside from that, her being assaulted in the manner we know did happen... Would've been enough. It felt exploitative. But it felt less disgusting than the earlier molestation scene.

Because like--this show is not told from Elizabeth's limited, interior perspective. This is not an intimate character study in which we're in her mind and the ambiguity of the perspective is more heightened. This show gives us multiple perspectives--it's basically an omniscient narrative. You can have a scene focused on Elizabeth, then Mary, then Seymour, and so on and so forth. When the show portrays a scene as "sexy" and moody, that is the show's broad narrative--we are not "in" Elizabeth's mind. (And tbh, that can be done but it's hard to do that onscreen, compared to what you might be able to portray in a book.)

So..... Yeah, I basically think the whole thing is a disaster and completely unnecessary. Tbh? We didn't need this narrative lol. I've been very vocal about my opinion that it's time to give the Tudors a rest and look at other areas of history, especially ones that are not.... focused on white people. But I don't know; I think you need to take an extremely sensitive approach to telling this story, because at the end of the day, it's literally a story of child sexual abuse, and that's the main takeaway. Now isn't the time for "fight for me" dialogue and soapy hooks. Would you ever feel bold enough to take this stance if you were telling the story of a 13 to 15 year old girl in 2021 being groomed by a man in his 30s?

If you'd like to see a show that actually did portray a teen being groomed by an adult as something she saw as romantic (until she didn't) while never leading the audience to believe it was anything but unambiguously evil and wrong--try Cruel Summer. But like, nobody is in Tudor garb, so.

And on a less serious note--yes the Robert Dudley casting is very milquetoast, and yes this is sad because he was a lot of things but he wasn't a milquetoast lol. A poor man's Chalamet is SUCH a good comparison, though? God, what a similar vibe. What are the odds that the real thing goes and plays Robert Dudley in the 2371812th Tudor production five years from now? Good God.

I h8 how they changed emo bens look in d new trailer d directors r so dumb it wouldve been real funnyy if they kept the look n some1 in d umbrellas point out how EMo n lame his look is and he just caves in and have it cut or sumth

Y'know I agree with you also for the continuity part of it too. I know a lot of people are probably thinking "It's a haircut, it's not big deal lmao" and yeah it's not something huge but did they really just decide to show a sudden change in Ben's haircut right away instead of cutting it later? Just to probably make him look sharper right off the bat instead of his emo haircut? We could have had a scene of Diego or Klaus making fun of his hair and it would have been funny! And the fact that you're saying that they make fun of him enough that he gets his hair cut is even funnier!

I know the sudden change of his haircut is either just because they didn't shoot this scene first and shot it after Justin got his haircut for later in the season and then they shot this scene but didn't want to put a wig on him or it's just something the directors/producers or whoever put in as "Yep we changed his haircut and we're not going to say anything about it and people are just going to have to imagine that he's had it like that the whole time" but I personally think that it's just dumb and like I said, it's still a continuity error (I don't know if I want to use "error" since they're aware of what they're doing but it's a continuity "wtf?" nonetheless I guess lol)

And I haven't seen anyone else talk about this either, but Five's hair changed too. I'm not talking about his emo hair either (granted his hair has just flopped lower in the mini promo clip and we've seen from the few promos of Aidan and the new Five poster that his hair is almost exactly like his S2 hair) but the sides of his head are now suddenly buzzed down in the mini promo too right off the bat.

Okay well the S3 screenshots of him aren't the best but it's all that I have lol but you can tell from the top left screenshot of S2 that it has slightly changed. With Aidan's hair I know that it definitely has to do with just the way his hair was cut for S3, but it's still a difference in his haircut right off the bat. This one however isn't as noticeable as Ben's sudden hair change. So again, this scene of them meeting right away just might not have been shot first and the actors already had their hair cut from future scenes (without bothering to make their hair look like it did in 2x10) they filmed or this is just a "Pretend nothing has changed!!" moment.

I'm inclined to believe though that this was a "Pretend nothing has changed!!" moment because we didn't get to see the Sparrows at the end of 2x10 so they didn't know what any of them would look like, let alone they didn't have them cast at that point, which makes me believe that they didn't really know what to do with Justin's Sparrow look either

[themurlocsrollingon]

cant uhford a wig? thats ok ! just grow one right out of your very own head ! (:~)

[vevovixx]

Seriously though,, what even did we expect when Hongbin made an instagram.

[idk-my-aesthetic]

Literally only seen like 3 memes about cr*ella and I lowkey regret reblogging any of them. I literally don’t want to see anything about it. I’ve never gotten so fed up with a movie so quickly to the point where I don’t even want to see people making fun of it

I don’t even know why but I absolutely hate this movie. I literally have no justifiable reason just seeing Emma stone in that ugly ass wig is filling me with a sort of incomprehensible anger. Like there are legit reasons to dislike this movie but none of them are why I’m angrey it just somehow activates the fight of my flight or fight response. I don’t even hate Emma stone but I literally h8 this movie with everything inside my soul

If u like it I’m glad u can find joy in something I can’t but also I’m going to go punch a wall now

[tamagotchi]

Ngl man but I have so much internalized homo/transphobia about myself . Not others but just when I think of me. Not so much homophobia online? But def trans and irl both. It’s horrible. That’s why my social like life and progress is so stunned and weak. I fucking h8 myself. Idk how to get over that lgbt phobia but it all stems from worrying how people percieve me. That’s why also and in small addition I haven’t posted a selfie since 2016 and have deleted everyone ever posted. Wtf, I’m snatching my OWN wig tonite ladies

9, 12, 18, 40, 49

9: What are you really bad at?

H8 you for asking this. I don’t even like thinking about this stuff. I also want you to know Cam has head propped on my arm so I am only able type with one arm right now. He is really begging for some of my chicken nuggets. I am bad at procrastinating. My executive dysfuction is very very bad and things that i want to do I procrastinate. Like looking for houses. Most adult stuff, making appointments, getting things fixed that would make my life easier. That is one of my top issues right now.

12: What do you think about the most?

I have absolutely no idea. The amount of things I think about. Maybe the fact that i need a new job. Or the fact that i need to keep looking at houses?

18: A reason you’ve lied to someone

One time my dad came home drunk and came into my room questioning me about myself and telling me that he knew I was gay. He was asking me if i had had sex, so I lied. He is most likely glad I lied, he probably did not want to actually know.

40: First concert you attended

That was the American Idol season 6 top 20 or something singers. I was in the sixth grade and my grandma bought tickets for us and the cousins. I don’t remember much from it except it was the year both Jordan Sparks and Sanjaya were on. We all decided to wear wigs in honor of Sanjaya, I had a blond afro.

49: Where’s the most magical place on earth?

Disney World? I have no idea. I really liked Maine when I went with my family. Ogunquit, Maine in particular. But whenever I’m on vacation in a different area things feel magical.

[mariska]

i refuse to post any pics of me without a wig on cus i h8 my super short hair so much but here is a hair growth update for u all, i literally just look like this now minus the rat tail

[radfem-gossip-reborn]

I’m not “transphobic”; I think male people are insufferable regardless of what they call themselves—quit mischaracterizing me!!! 😩 I h8 m*les bc they’re male; not bc they’re trans/GNC!!! “Trans exclusionary”, my left titty! Dysphoric females/trans men are always included in my discussions centering females. Mainstream feminists (who, lbr, haven’t read a lick of feminist literature before in their lives) need to wake the fuck up and realize they’re supporting men in wigs’ rights activism 😖
