Oh hello!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! i'm the photograph for that picture! that's certainly not something i did not expect to see haha!

Oh my dear puppet

A little cosplay collab with Liz cosplay on insta. as Zelda

[angelhummel]

what would you do with the characters you don't like if you had power over glee? would you completely get rid of them, replace them or rewrite them to be something different?

I mean the mean part of me wants to say I would just scrap Brittany completely bc she didn't amount to anything in the end asjdfhlfsk BUT if I'm trying to be creative then no, that's too easy. With Brittany, there are two ways I could play it

1) She actually is quite clever but puts on the typical ditzy cheerleader act for funsies. To make sure Quinn knows she isn't a blonde rival threat lol. To mess with guys who think they can take advantage of her. Mostly for her own amusement, to see the looks on people's faces whenever she says something "dumb". But she drops the act midway thru s2 (when they quit the cheerios) and we get to see her for who she really is. Sharp and blunt at the same time, with a sardonic and dry wit that sometimes goes over people's heads. But she's dropped the dumbass act to be a lil smart ass

"How do you know my dim-witted inexperience isn't merely a subtle form of manipulation used to lower people's expectations thereby enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation?"

2) She is kind of a ditz but she actually has the emotional intelligence that people claim she has. But the good "Go back in there and be there for Kurt", "family is a place where everyone loves you no matter what" kind, not the "you have to actually eat the chocolate bar or it will melt and look like you have poop in your hand". Basically Brittany talking about poop or toilets or anything in that same vein is strictly forbidden. She's not great in school, makes C's and D's in her main classes. But has creative electives like art, photography, creative writing, etc and does amazingly in those classes. She has her own unique way of looking at things and offers her own unique wisdom to help put things in perspective from time to time

Either way, she is never a complete fucking bonehead turned math genius bc that is fucking awful. And maybe you could even add in the actual autism angle bc like. Doesn't understand social cues, takes things too literally, etc. And either way she would graduate in s3 and get out of my face. So that's what I'd do with Brittany

Finn is easier but also harder bc this is such a gargantuan task and deviation from canon but. Have him actually be more like the person we're told he is. You TELL me he is this amazing uniter of cliques, kind hearted, perfect blend of a jock and show choir god, ushering the school into a new age of togetherness. You SHOW me he is a lil bitch who runs away from the club at the slightest difficulty, drops slurs and outs people on the reg, wants to be the leader without putting in the work, and is kind of a ball hog who actually sucks at football and isn't that great a singer. What's not clicking

Obviously Finn doesn't have to be perfect. He can have issues and uncertainties. But holy shit maybe have one issue once or twice. Doing this same bullshit half a dozen times and never learning a lesson makes me hate him!!!! Idk man just make him less of a fucking asshole

And don't fucking act like he ascended to sainthood when he died. I'm sorry but that bullshit about like "Finn wanted Sam in the club bc he was looking for someone to take over his legacy when he was gone" like shut the fuck up that actually sounds insane. Don't fucking do that. Finn is just a dude. Just make him be a kind of chill and cool dude with his heart in the right place but he slips up and makes mistakes bc he's still human. He doesn't use slurs or out anyone. He isn't constantly beating people up. He doesn't attack a sex worker, thanks. Maybe don't make him a serial cheater either, that would be nice

As for Sebastian, yeah, no, you can scrap him completely. He isn't interesting or fun and it actually drives me insane that he's the fifth most popular character on ao3. You can have your own preferences, you can like a little rich bitch bratty bad boy villain wannabe. But knowing that that many people are so far up his butt makes me wanna scream lol

Shelby, I would change her plotline by having her end up in jail. That would be a nice arc for her character

Will, I would change him by having him be a decent teacher. Broke: himbo Finn. Woke: himbo Will. He's kind and tries his best but he is shockingly dumb. Doesn't realize his wife isn't really pregnant for like five months?? The pieces are there. He sometimes lets himself be bulldozed in his own classroom but when other students talk, he listens. Takes their suggestions, actually shines a light on everyone, helps them improve and lets everyone have their moment in the spotlight. In the end everyone loves him and when he wins teacher of the year, it doesn't feel like a hollow bullshit contrivance

Sue. Either make her drop the villain shtick by about s3, or get rid of her entirely. Talk about going around in circles. I really think she was the worst of it. It got sooo old and boring and it was the same thing for six seasons. So have her be an ally to the club come s3, after her sister's funeral bc that makes sense. Or just write her off. Idc how

Don't ever let Rory set fucking foot on this show. Sorry to the actor but that character was partially responsible for why s3 went down the fucking shitter. He was terrible, and having to write plots about being Irish made early s3 a fucking joke

Oh and I would magically make it so that the viewers of the show have some common fucking sense. And if a character is being racist or a bigot or just a general cunt, there wouldn't be 2395890 compilation videos on youtube praising them for being brutally honest or sassy or hilarious or what have you. :) You know, if I had THAT kind of power

So yeah those are my thoughts. Took me a while to answer but I appreciate the ask!

AERONWY GWYNN, our SIMAY BARLAS fc is looking for a PARENTS CLUB connection who looks like UTP ! who is ANY AGE you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. ( this is for a group of parents who aren’t necessarily the best parents? they all try super hard but they probably didn’t have the initial instincts people assume parents have. bonus points if they struggle with post partum depression / psychosis like aeron does. )

( think matt and foggy, avocados at law! sia is pretty set on becoming a real good private investigator, nowadays, after a long period of indecision - and i’d love for her to have someone along for that ride with her! i kinda imagine they met during the course of a law degree, cause that’s something sia actually holds, and then maybe.. lost contact for a hot minute as her life fell APART, but somehow or another have gotten back in touch and decided to open their firm together. halving the running costs, sharing the cases, helping each other out, etc. both their names can be over the door and it’s really just.. two best buds being best buds. ) 

( NIKKI BARTON ), our ( PHOEBE TONKIN ) fc is looking for her ( ALMOST FOSTER PARENT / CANON OR OTHERWISE ) who looks like ( PLAYERS CHOICE ) and is ( PARENT AGED ). you ( DON’T ) have to contact prior to applying. ( right after her mom died and before her dad TECHNICALLY kidnapped her, nikki bounced from foster home to foster home a lot over a period of about three years. they most all ended badly, but there was one - the one right at the end, the one she left when her dad came back - that stuck with her, because a part of her was… sort of hoping they would want to keep her forever. they brought a softness to her that she had been pretty quickly losing, supported her when needed, were strict when they had to be, and have always been a pretty big what if in her life - making the idea of them reappearing and nikki encountering them at this point in her messy life… really interesting to me. ) 

CLINTON “CLINT” BARTON, our GARRETT HEDLUND fc is looking for a EX FLING connection who looks like UTP who is 47+ YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying. (During one of his breaks from Bobbi, Clint had a summer-long fling with somebody else. It wasn’t anything but a distraction from heartbreak and a bit of fun.

LARS COBBLEPOT, our AARON TVEIT fc is looking for a FRIEND-ISH connection who looks like UTP who is 25+ YEARS OLD. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying .( Around Paragon, Lars is known as charming and as somebody who took the fall for somebody else.

SELENE CONSTANTINE, our VIRGINIA GARDNER fc is looking for a TEAM OF SCAM ARTISTS & THIEVES connection who looks like UTP who is ANY AGE you DON’T have to contact prior to applying.

( any of them can maybe be kids of canons, depending ON the canon?? anyway. all of them - preferably about.. five, ig - are surviving members of the brotherhood group that romy ran, some nineteen years ago. they all worked together for YEARS, moving around europe a lot but spending some time settled in rural germany, which was ultimately where their particular crusade seemed to come to an end. intolerant humans attacked them, most were killed, and those that ran were assumed dead / assumed they were the only survivors, pretty much ‘til now. romy back means they’re probably gonna maybe want to restart what they were doing before, and this connection could rly go.. any way. maybe romy - ran into one of them at some point in the past, and relieved they were alive, kept in contact to call them someday, leading to their reunion now. maybe they’ve seen a familiar name in the paper, or on the paragon website. maybe this is just where the wind has blown them. i lov the idea of this squad, ‘kay, cos.. they spent a chunk of their time together, and for romy, they were less friends more #fam ) ( elijah creed + others )

( NIKKI BARTON ), our ( PHOEBE TONKIN ) fc is looking for a ( EX-CLIENTS ) connection who looks like ( UP TO PLAYER ) who is ( ANY AGE ) you ( DON’T ) have to contact prior to applying. ( i’m gonna keep this one a little vague, cause.. i wanna leave it open to multiple people, and i think every single one of those could have a different sort of dynamic with her. nikki used to work as a drugrunner for a major dealer named callum. he was, for want of a better description - an abusive piece of shit, and he continued to be that right up until nikki killed him in self defense. HOWEVER, before he died and she got carted off to jail, nikki used to do a lot of jobs for him, and they led her across states. she would have rubbed shoulders with a lot of not so great people, but also some kinda ok ones. some might have heard what happened, others won’t and might be kinda confused about what the FUCK happened to their supply, but either way.. i want. also. callum coulda had some other helpers. idk. i just want it ALL. ) 

KATE BISHOP, our MEDALION RAHIMI fc, looking for a EX-FLING connection who looks like UTP who is 24-30. you DON’T have to contact prior to applying.

When Theora was around 25, they started dating and it was a quick romance, and they got married after dating for a year and a half. Five years ago, they got a divorce, a year after Theora failed to save a girl and kind of fell apart. Theora blames herself for the divorce because she was and still is a self loathing mess but the reason past ‘Theora was a mess’ can be plotted !! )

( so. yall best know yall can do what yall WANT, its just.. originally when i played vicki i had a wc for a “half-brother”, and i was thinking about it recently and think it could be… kinda fun. SO. this is for a kid of victor creed - either.. biologically, or another one that he just kinda . stole - that vicki actually knew during certain points of her life, because for the most part, she was pretty isolated. for whatever reason - maybe he just wanted someone to keep an eye on his investment or whatever - victor allowed these two to interact a bit more, and depending on how they were to one another, i feel that a certain loyalty definitely could have developed between them. vicki got fucked over a couple times and left in, like, japan for 9 months and a yemen prison for another six and incidents like that have dotted her life, but im kinda thinking this “half-sibling” could have been the one who.. helped her out, or was stuck there alongside her. gimme! )

The GoPro Max camera has two lenses that go beyond 360 video

We hope you're ready to go kayaking and then watch the kayaking again later. (GoPro/)

Yesterday, GoPro announced a new camera called Max 360. Its flat, square body has a super-wide-angle lens on either side of the device, while a small screen occupies the bottom of the camera. Like so many dual-camera devices before it, the idea is that you can capture a spherical image that includes an entire environment. We've seen similar-looking cameras before—in fact GoPro had a previous model with a similar design called the Fusion. And while the Max 360 has an impressive spec sheet and promises some unique uses for the all-around capture capabilities, it's hard not to wonder what the future of this kind of camera looks like in the short and long term.

Making a successful 360-degree camera is tough. Earlier this year, Nikon fully discontinued its KeyMission 360, which debuted to ample fanfare back at CES 2016. Back then, introducing a spherical camera seemed like a reasonable gamble for a tech company. Facebook had just introduced native support for 360-degree photos and videos in September of 2015, and massive media brands like the New York Times were dedicating large swaths of time and effort into developing content for this immersive new platform.

By 2016, there was already a market for consumer-grade 360 cameras. The Ricoh Theta, for instance, was one of the first consumer-oriented devices in the space, and the original version debuted back in 2013. Smaller startups got in on the game, too, with companies like 360fly, which made a single-camera unit in the shape of a faceted ball. Then there were multi-lens solutions like the Panono, which promised 108-megapixel, immersive images and even encouraged users to gently toss it and catch it, even though its price tag was roughly $2,000.

Today, Chinese company Insta360 offers one of the most successful immersive shooting rigs called the One X. It costs $450 and it’s even available through the Apple store.

This video wasn't shot on the new GoPro, but it's one of the most representative examples of the kind of thing you can actually watch in 360 online at the moment.

But despite all these gadgets, when was the last time you encountered 360 photo or video in any of your social feeds? Unless you go looking for it, it’s likely not often.

Scroll over to Facebook’s page about 360 photos and it recommends some cameras for capturing this kind of content, but scrolling through it is like a time machine back to 2016. It lists the Ricoh Theta S from that year and similar models. It doesn’t include GoPro’s previous Fusion.

It does, however, include several smartphone add-ons meant to capture 360 video, which is interesting, but also kinda sad segment of the market. The Essential Phone famously used the 360 camera as the first device to use its modular, wireless connector system, though it was expensive and the quality wasn’t great.

Why hasn't it caught on?

The only time I've ever really enjoyed taking in 360-degree content was during my initial review period of Facebook's Oculus Go. The untethered VR headset wasn't powerful enough to run some of the heavy-duty virtual reality games, but it was good for looking at immersive content. Watching videos of wild animals walking around you or simulating a trip to exotic locales is fun, but it got old. I hadn't tried it in more than a year when I recently dusted off the Oculus to see what was happening—but that was just for this article.

Surprisingly, not a lot has changed, There are more VR games now, but finding native 360 content still kinda feels like flipping through screensavers on your Apple TV. Sure, they’re pretty to look at and interesting for a little while, but how long are you actually going to do that?

The tools for actually viewing this content are out there: VR headset sales are on the rise. An IDC report from earlier this year suggests a 27 percent uptick in VR and AR headset sales (skewed mostly toward VR) in the first quarter of 2019 versus the previous year. The report goes on to suggest it expects totally AR and VR headset sales to reach 7.6 million units in 2019, compared to 5.9 million in 2018.

But, even if people have the ability to view 360 content in a virtual way, it’s unclear if they’ll actually do so. YouTube doesn’t have any public stats about how many people are using its service for this kind of content, but you have to go searching for it if you want to find it, which isn’t a vote of confidence that demand is high.

So how does the new GoPro fit in?

Since it has become readily apparent people aren’t begging to look at 360 content in a typical VR setting, or using their phone as a little window to move around a scene, GoPro has baked a few clever uses into its Max 360.

The Reframe feature, for instance, lets shooters focus in on a single part of the scene, then simulate an epic zoom out, before zooming back in on another aspect of the environment. It’s a cool effect that’s meant to play on a typical screen, but would be nearly impossible with a traditional camera.

The Max TimeWarp feature (you can see a demo in the video above) produces a similar effect with a time-lapse function. The examples on the GoPro site depict the camera moving smoothly through city streets, rotating the view as it goes. I could see this coming in handy for some situations—slow-moving night scenes for instance—but I found even the pro examples disorienting. I can’t imagine how nauseous I could make viewers with my shaky hands.

GoPro has also hedged the camera’s dependence on 360 video for its overall success. If you just want to use it as a typical action camera with the company’s really excellent image stabilization tech, you can do so. The directional microphones it uses to create 3D audio (which is also largely a novelty for the moment) make it useful for vloggers who want to simulate the effect of an attached shotgun microphone. It reduces external noise and even environmental sound like which can easily turn into an annoying roar in your footage.

Perhaps more importantly, however, the Max offers something the iPhone camera can't. With the release of the iPhone 11 Pro, Apple's ubiquitous device now offers a super-wide-angle field of view, which was previously one of GoPro's signature looks. The company—and pretty much every company that makes cameras—are constantly looking for ways to stay ahead of the iPhone camera crush.

You can pre-order the Max 360 now for $499 with a bonus memory card if you hop on early. If you're thinking about buying it instead of the new $399 Hero8 Black, you'll lose the 4K 60P recording mode—the Max tops out at 1440P at 60 fps. The Max also only does 2x slow-motion compared to the super-slow 8x mode in the Hero8 Black. Lastly, the Max is only waterproof to 16 feet instead of 33 feet, which might be a deal-breaker if you do most of your vlogging at 23 feet underwater.

So, you’ll have to decide if the 360-degree capture is worth losing those stats and tacking on an extra $100. If you find cool subject matter and practice, the effect can be really cool. The problem is wondering if anyone will actually watch it the way you intended.
