#i love reading original scripts

[all-pacas]

I also found a script for Occam's Razor. This one is much closer to the one that aired — I only noticed two differences of note:

In the aired version, when House dismisses the idea that the patient only has one disease, the kids aren't thrilled with it. Foreman convinces/guilts the others two into pulling all-nighters to keep running tests with him. In this version, the three of them all seem to have the same idea at once, pulling the initiative away from Foreman.

There's an extra scene on the Cameron/Chase "sex could kill you" subplot, set after scene where she gives him his little sex ed talk in the conference room. I can see why it was cut — it doesn't really add anything — but it does add a bit of interesting detail: Cameron has been avoiding Chase since finding out he might be interested in her, and

…IDK, it's very funny. Absolutely redundant (why would Cameron bring this up again), but I guess it does explain why Chase asks her out and gets shot down flat end of episode. This cut scene (there's a bit more too it, Foreman once again the third wheel to them) is really the only major difference I spotted, tho.

Trying something outtt

[shannonsketches]

Every time I talk to a DB fan who doesn't know or doesn't agree that the whole franchise is an adventure comedy first and an action series second I feel insane but then I find an old Toriyama interview,

You made some comedic scenes where you have minor villains Pilaf & co. appear; how did you come up with a balance between laughs and fierce battles? Do you pay attention to the difference between comedy and battle in making a work “entertaining”?

I believe that, when you combine comedy and serious battles, both of them might come alive even more. As for me personally, though, I much prefer drawing dumb jokes to battle scenes.

as a bonus, every time I'm like 'idk I didn't really like most of the DBZ movies prior to Yo Son Goku and Friends Return and BotG,' and get the 'whAAaaT they're so gOOD' (from my brother, tbh askdjs) but they all seemed really Action-Drama and About the Fight Scenes and I'm like 'meh kinda boring tbh' I get to gaze upon,

In the latest movie, Toriyama-san, you participated in the production from the scriptwriting stage for the first time. What is the reason for that? Was there anything you noticed in coming face-to-face with the work after so long?

I was told about a project for Dragon Ball in its first animated film in a long while, and I read the story outline; while the beings “Beerus, God of Destruction” and “Super Saiyan God” (which goes above Super Saiyan) were interesting, the themes were heavy, and I felt that the world was a bit different from Dragon Ball. Rather than telling them about this or that problematic spot, I thought it would be faster if I just wrote it out concretely, and while I had intended just to give them a model―”for example”―my hand wouldn’t stop, and ultimately, I ended up writing almost everything, including the dialogue. I am reflecting on the fact that I did something terribly rude to the scriptwriter.

Beach induction and Injury care as caring for emotional hurt Hypnosis

The following is an original hypnosis script by me, which includes a beach themed induction and injury care as a metaphor for emotional hurt. The two sections are separated by a line break so that if you are only interested in one half it is easy to find the correct section.

The first half is a beachy induction, which doesn't really have to do with the injury care portion, but they are put together just so that there is an induction and the injury care suggestions will be read when you are already in trance and sink in more deeply. This part focuses on ocean imagery and the sound of waves.

The injury is described to be minor and not painful, and is described as little as possible, in order to avoid creating feelings of being hurt. The imagery of it being taken care of is focused on instead. This section will implant the trigger phrase "You are worthy of love" in order to be able to feel the feelings of being cared about and worthy of love whenever you need to feel that.

The last section ties the first two together and helps to walk you back up from the trance.

Imagine that you are at the beach.

The tides of the ocean flow in and out.

In 

And out

In a steady rhythm. 

Allow your breathing to match

In

And out

In a steady rhythm

To the sound of waves

With each breath

Feel your body relax

More and more

Focused

More and more

On my words

And the sound

Of waves

It is normal to have thoughts of other things

As each thought comes

Just as quickly it is taken by the waves

Washed away by the sound

Of water

In and out

Washing away your thoughts

Dropping you deeper 

And deeper

Into trance

Filling you with a warm

Pleasant feeling

You relax

More and more

Feeling safe

Feeling comfortable

Feeling, happy

Focused

On my words

And on the sound

Of waves

In

And out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slowly,

Still feeling relaxed

And happy 

And safe

You become aware of a minor injury

Somewhere on your body. 

It doesn’t bother you

It doesn’t hurt

But still

You deserve to be cared for

You are worthy of love

The phrase

‘You are worthy of love’

Echos in your mind 

And each time you think to yourself that

‘You are worthy of love’

And each time you read the phrase

‘You are worthy of love’

It feels more and more true

Someone that you care about

And trust

Who cares about you

Places an ice pack on your injury

Because they know

You are worthy of love

You deserve to be taken care of

This person can even be yourself

Because you know

You are worthy of love

And each time you think that

It feels more and more true. 

The ice is pleasantly cool

And not too cold

It soothes you

And you know it is there

Because you are cared about

Because someone is helping you

And you deserve to be helped

Once your injury is soothed

The ice is taken away

And a healing gel

Is put on your injury

It feels warm and pleasant

And that warm pleasant feeling

Radiates outwards

Spreading across your skin

And filling you with the feeling

Of being loved

And cared about

And the knowledge

That you are worthy of love

Next, a bandage is wrapped around your injury

It feels soft and comfortable

Soothing against your skin

Comforting

Like an embrace

It is wrapped snuggly

But not too tight

Just enough that you can feel it there

Hugging you

Reminding you that

You are worthy of love

Each time you think to yourself

‘You are worthy of love’

You will feel this bandage

Hugging you

Reminding you of how it feels

To be taken care of

To deserve to be taken care of

Injuries take time to heal

And that is okay.

It is okay if you need attention

And care

For this injury again.

You are worthy of love

You are worthy of care

As much as you need

As many times as you need

Until you feel better

—

You can stay in this feeling

Of being so relaxed

Comforted and cared about

For as long as you would like.

When you are ready, I want you to slowly leave the beach

And to become more aware of your surroundings.

Gently wiggle your fingers or move your limbs

Grounding yourself in your body and in the space

Allow your thoughts of other things to return,

No longer being washed away.

Gently wake up, taking all the time that you need

Until you feel ready to continue on with your day and your life

Knowing you can return back here again

Whenever you need to.

i wish the creators of ride the cyclone actually gave a fuck about disabled people and listened to their input when finally making changes to their horribly ableist script but apparently even a simple google search about mutism was too hard to do

It's so wild how The Exorcist (1973) is still considered prestige when it's just like. "What if a little girl had bodily fluid and was in pain. Would that be fucked up or what?"

Like uh, yeah? It would be? You gonna have anything to say about that besides really vague right wing propaganda, or are we just gonna have copycat movies so we can pretend this movie had enough substance to be genuinely influential? Am I gonna have to wait 50 years and Geena Davis' level of influence for this franchise to get deeper than God Is Not Dead (2014)? I am? Well, fuck, glad I was born in '92, then!

[vonlipvig]

no idea how this holdovers plagiarism drama is gonna shape up, and i'm not reading and comparing the scripts myself. if anatomy of a fall wins best original screenplay then it wasn't plagiarism, and if anatomy of a fall loses then it was plagiarism.

i stumbled across a Rumi quatrain on tumblr today and it reminded me to go looking for my favourites, so here's a few, all taken from Kulliyat-e Shams-e Tabrizi, with the caveat that i do not speak Farsi and I have read them all as translations only. more notes on translation at the end, but all of these are translated by Zara Houshmand, and taken from the archives of The Iranian.

#1771

#57

#1584

#1316

and the note on translation: these are of course not the Coleman Barks translations, the most popular English translations. i think the orientalism and... de-Sufi-fying and de-Muslim-ifying of the Barks translations and a lot of English-language and Western perception of Rumi is much more discussed now (Jawid Mojaddedi, who is writing a translation of Rumi's multi-volume Masnavi, says, "The Rumi that people love is very beautiful in English, and the price you pay is to cut the culture and religion.") if you're interested, Persian Poetics has a great twitter thread about it and their website has text, audio, and video resources where they've talked about it. and this article from Ajam Media is a short read and an interesting comparison of a few different translations.

if you enjoy Zara Houshmand's translations, she has a book of translations of Rumi's quatrains, Moon and Sun. there's many translations of Rumi's works not by Barks, that prioritise different things: you can 100% find a translation that isn't Barks, and Rumi's work is. so beautiful and so much better when you are not reading whatever uhhh... interpretation Barks came up with.

"you were going to walk out my life forever, so you wrote me a fucking letter" "that's because I knew if I told you in person you'd try to-" "What? Try to stop you? Yes I would, Bloom- Do you even know what's beyond that?" "I don't know" "Do you even know where it leads?" "I don't know" "Do you know if it's dangerous?" "No."

"But it has to be closed from the inside and I'm the only one who can do it-" "-I don't think you want to try and find I different way. I think you want a way out, I think you wanted a way out for a long time now"

+ the suicide letters for each loved one

"She's gone" while the girls cry and hug each other

If you read that ending as anything other than death, I have no idea of what to tell you

btw everyone say thank you to megan mullally for convincing nick offerman to drop the other project he had that would have conflicted with the filming schedule for the last of us
