#i love acting

[gelphiegifs]

I just want to point out how utterly adorable Glinda is in this scene. I love the way she pauses next to Elphaba at the end, fiddles with her dress almost as if wiping sweat from her hands, and then reaches for her. Glinda who so far in the show was so sure of herself and what she wanted, now suddenly nervous for the first time. It really shows how important this is for her 🩷

Once again dropping PCE Lore that no one gives a shit about, but

As someone who acts, fanfiction has helped me a lot. (Possible cw for (fictional) abuse?)

So last night I did a scene where my character is having a conflict with an abusive husband. We fight and then there’s this moment of him dramatically apologizing for the upteenth time, promising to never touch me again, all that, begging my character to take him back.

And it’s film acting, of course we’re checking in with each other between takes, and this sweet guy got so worried bc I turned on the tears during my coverage, and I just like, jumped back into myself and dabbed at him like we’re good, we’re laughing, but the reason i was able to tap into that?

I’ve read everything from the ao3 trifecta of Kyle In Bad Situations. Bellwether, Jwink85, Courtanie. I had Acting On Impulse in the brain (u know I love Stan but DAMN) the whole time, and I channeled that. As someone who has thankfully never been in that place, it can be hard to relate to a character who IS. But as ridiculous as it might sound to someone who doesn’t read shit with characters who are, it helped a lot w the mindset.

I went home after the shoot and cried. My partner thought maybe it didn’t go well or something, but no, I’m just really grateful that I have him, and not someone who turns on a dime like that.

Fanfiction is ultimately an open expression of the human experience. Your life, someone else’s, no one else’s. When it’s real, it means something, to someone.

I was trying to give Orin a faceclaim/actor and I literally can’t find anyone that looks remotely similar to them

Maybe they could act as them perfectly; but it’s the looks (all of these actors I’ve looked at are amazing just not giving enough ‘Orin’ vibes </3)

Byleth is the only exception, everyone mentions their being kinda mute and aloof, IT IS their personality

Otherwise. Give him voices, limit their personality for all i care, i've played thr stanley parable, i know i can only do whatever the fuck devs put on the game, so make sure what is there is good!

VOICE AND ACTING IS GOOD

*rpgs that allow you to make your own character, aka has a character creator at the start of the game.

there is no nuance. Decide

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

annual post telling people to stop slandering “kill shelters” as if they want to euthanize healthy animals. stop believing the evil kill shelter narrative and instead consider how bad it would be for the animals if we had no open intake shelters.

*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
