I did not remember that the "If it means losing you, then no" conversation was literally Andrew and Neil's first conversation since Andrew got sober. Imagine you're out of your mind drugged up and there's one guy that won't stop catching your interest. Whatever, once you get clean he'll go back to being boring. Except. As soon as you get back, he says he spent two weeks being abused in a hell-hole that wouldn't even let him see the sun. And you tell him to stand down, but what does he say? "If it means losing you, then no." You're next course of action is to throw his keys off the roof and be done with him. But when he gets his keys, he looks back up at you and takes a drag from you're discarded cigarette and gives you a two-fingered salute. And to top it all off he's been claiming he doesn't swing for anyone all semester. Andrew was seriously doomed from the beginning.

Hellstie wtf is tsp
gripping the table nails digging in the wood blood everywhere. im so glad u asked :)
the second perspective is a bsd fic for both skk and sskk (both with about equal screentime for anyone with favourites) and it’s an insanely well-written murder mystery by @wildflowerteas. like genuinely @tallysescape has an actual physical conspiracy wall and @rotisseries has made a map of all the relevant locations. it updates every sunday and finally I’ve caught up so we all go insane about it on a gc bc like I said ITS SO INSANELY WELL WRITTEN AND THE TWISTS ARE INSANE THE PACING IS INSANE THE CHARACTERISATION IS INSANE I GENUINELY CANNOT FAULT THIS FIC WHICH IS CRAZY TO SAY OF ANY FIC BUT IN THE BSD FANDOM IS DOWNRIGHT REVOLUTIONARY

I just saw an absolutely incredible craigslist deal for a jly #4 and i am being SO brave and strong and not buying her. i don’t have room for or any need for doubles. brain please calm down. anyway if any of you all are near western massachusetts and want the listing let me know!
also if anyone on here is located in eastern mass/near boston, PLEASE check craigslist - there are some awesome items on there right now that are just too far from me and I would like to live vicariously through someone else enjoying them 😭

Decided to rewatch House of the Dragon, thinking I might be more forgiving of it if I was binging it rather than watching it weekly—and um, noooope. It’s so, so bad, and I’m just sitting here in a stupor, wondering how can something so terribly written have been so critically acclaimed???

People are usually generally right when they say if a story is good a spoiler won't ruin the experience etc but every so often I remember the dude who went to see the Phantom of the Opera without knowing that the chandelier drops and thought it was real. Imagine having THAT experience.

Okay so yknow how clay is obsessed with the knights code to a cultish level and literally said it controls his actions thoughts and life? Well yeah that’s really interesting to me and I viewed it as part of his character that could’ve been developed but during a recent conversation I had with my sibling about nexo knights I came to the realization that the writers were almost certainly joking about it. Like they thought the whole knights code thing was just a joke and it had no bearing on clay as a character. Like it’s not a serious issue with him but just a funny thing to laugh about every so often. And now I’m having to question how much of the character stuff in nexo knights was actually just a poorly executed joke

complaining about. acting technique in blood of youth under the cut
tbh, it's all fine / i can't really say for the most part. i am just Annoyed about how the actors are interrupting each other lol
like, im not an actor (AT ALL lmao)! i know so little! but oh god the pacing of the interrupting is killing me lol! there's a full beat, every time, between the speaker being cut off and the speaker who is interrupting and this keeps happening! sure, it breaks my immersion every time when the guy being interrupted stops talkong in order to be interrupted, yes, annoying for me but its tv, time passes. but worse (imo) this acting choice keeps reading as 'the character cutting themselves off' which is a totally different action than 'another character in the scene cutting them off' — totally different dynamic, totally different way to build tension in the scene!! aaargh, haha.
and the fixes for this are really straightforward! a note i have heard theater directors give a lot is "inhale a few words before your next line so you will be ready to talk" — this helps keep the pace of the scene (and in theater, prevents the runtime of the show from being longer than what's printed on the show programs ahaha). the other note i've often heard given is for the speaker being interrupted to have something in mind for the rest of the sentence — something they probably want to know for character work anyway (lol, i say as i frequently interrupt characters in fic BECAUSE i have no idea what i want then to say next, but that's beside my current point). again w this technique the goal is to eliminate that space of silence between the lines, and preserve that feeling of "being cut off" for the audience. but it's such an easy note to give, its just timing!
ok /rant
