I like how they had around 5 minutes of screen time but still managed to make it to the front of the Post Covid Blu-ray disc

Thinking about this scene

[writterings]

my guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip and goddamn i have opinions about the latest sza drama that i don't even think should be considered drama but no one on here cares because it's the gay fanfiction webbedsite

Dude ur cosplays are genuinely so good 😭. I don't think I could cosplay anyone from RGG because I look too fem for it, but you're killing it!

AW thanks fam that means a lot :']] tbh if you really want to cosplay a character, you should go for it! even if you dont plan to go anywhere or do anything crazy, even just putting on the outfits is pretty fun :]

yknow the real irony is that i’ve legit never heard of Blue Clues before coming on this website and while i understand it’s an important thing for english speakers (? to make it large), and it’s really endearing to kinda just know it’s there, it’s been really funny reading in those brackets how Blue&Magenta are like. As iconic of dogs as Snoopy or Scooby Doo. I mean it with all the love in the world and no judgement because really there’s no real harm in that but i think english speakers will never truly grasp what did export internationally or not and it’s always funny to suddenly read up on what’s considered popular enough that it HAS to be known across the world vs what’s actually popular across the world yaknow

anyways I think we can tie the lack of new subcultures* to the fact that nobody has any free time anymore, and what free time they have is spent digitally instead of Creating

Hi, person from before, a quick follow up. You don't have to publicly reply (don't know if you can do that) or even reply at all. Glad you're proud of your Scottish roots, but I am actually Scottish-Irish (Born and raised in Scotland), so I would say I'm also an authority (Don't know if that was a joke or not, jokes tend to go over my head). I see the references, but it's not exactly what I'd call "very Scottish". Commonly known, pretty surface level, Scottish culture isn't exactly what I'd call good rep. I love Demoman and I'm glad he is Scottish and I wouldn't ever say he's bad rep by any stretch of the imagination or should be changed in anyway, and yes, it's fucking awful when people get where he's from wrong. I'm just saying I disagree with the very Scottish part, I suppose. Have a good day/gen

Hi anon I need to answer this publicly bc you are on anon lol. Just wanna make it clear that like, I know! I'm wasn't rlly being serious lol I'm kinda just shooting the shit. I guess what I meant is that from an outsider perspective, particularly an American one as tf2 is an American game, everything that Demo has going on is really emblematic of Scottish culture and makes his nationality really obvious. It's rlly unfortunate but the truth is that Braveheart and Nessie are more overtly Scottish to an American (or otherwise foreign) audience than legitimate language or folklore. I do think it's super super cool when people DO implement those cultural things into their portrayals of him, but like to most people he is already very Connected To His Roots and what he already displays is all they know. It's like how obviously there is a lot more to general Australian culture and folklore than being a Crocodile Dundee parody but I would still say that Sniper tf2 is kind of as overtly stereotypically Australian as a character can be, to an outsider audience especially. Hope u also have a good day adfjshgk sorry for making u put up w my dumb bullshit lmao

im home earlier than i thought

[holyblankbatman]

using the date on the flying graysons photo, (tue, july 16) i’ve decided if dick was 9 at the final flying graysons’ performance, he’d be born in 1993

(recent july 16ths being a tuesday: 1991, 1996, 2002, 2013 — i’m choosing 2002)

and for some reason i’m thinking gotham knights takes place in 2020 (correct me if i’m wrong), and therefore he’d be 27 in the game

[fiapple]

this is the only time i will ever speak about st on this blog, but the show should've centered around Kali & she should've been canonically sapphic.

(if you're in any way interested in what i actually mean, i suggest reading the tags. i tend to elaborate there more often than in actual posts- i'm trying to break the habit, but it's where we are rn.)

[sawyingthroughthewasteland]

part of me wants to try using the polls since i have them to see if any of my followers actually are interested in my writing and to see if anyone is secretly begging me to write a new chapter or some shit but also I know if I get little to no responses I'll feel really sad and unmotivated so uh

i dunno

Nobody asked me for my opinion on the controversy that dropped today when the Sonic Movie cast pay rate was revealed, which is fair ig since I try to stay positive on this blog. But in case you're wondering, yeah as a certified AFAB™ I'm pissed, but not really specifically at the Sonic crew. Actor pay rates are usually negotiated between agents and the production companies so just like all the other problems with the Sonic movies, this is most likely an issue with Paramount and their patented dumbfuckery. Disclaimer that obviously it could very well be a Sonic crew issue as well, obviously I don't know the inner workings of the entire film production.

Also, if you're mad about this: please be mad about the pay gap that has been going on as long as Hollywood has been alive. This isn't a problem unique to the SCU. I know the phrase "pay gap" is thrown around a whole lot but do you guys actually know how big an issue it is?

Recent percentages are that male and female actors have "a wage difference of about 25 percent," with an estimated difference of $1-2million between star-power men and star-power women.[x][x] Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone said she made $500k to Michael Douglas's $14mil– and when she was asked to be lead in a film being made in ~2022, the lead male, who was "new", was going to be paid $8-9mil, with her salary still at $500k. Last December, Biggest Monopoly In The World Disney was sued by 9,000 women over their pay gap.

This article is from 2019 but brings up some big fucking pay gaps between leads– for instance, Gillian Anderson was offered half of what David Duchovny was for the X-Files reboot as one of the two main fucking characters, Amanda Seyfried has disclosed she made 10% of what her male co-star made on an undisclosed film, Natalie Portman made 1/3 of the salary of Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached, and Ellen Pompeo, the titular character of Grey's Anatomy, was paid less than the actor playing her love interest, Patrick Dempsey. In fact, Dempsey was being paid almost double what she was.

However, BIG issue with the 2019 article: it only focuses on what White actors are being paid. Research shows that Black actresses make 57 cents to every dollar white actors make on a good day. Viola Davis, one of the most popular and talented actresses of our generation, has said that black women "get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I'm number one on the call sheet." Octavia Spencer had to collaborate with Jessica Chastain to make sure they both got paid the same amount of money on a film they both worked on, and revealed that her new salary increased 500% afterwards.

At the end of last year, while promo-ing The Color Purple, Taraji P. Henson broke into tears while talking about how little she's being paid when compared to her white and male contemporaries. And when she talked about the gap, I find it so fucking frustrating that the general audience response was to immediately blame the only Black female producer on the film. I have a million gripes with Oprah Winfrey but TCP cast has said that she herself managed to fix a lot of the problems on set and was nothing but supportive to them. Oh, and there were a lot of problems on set, including a lack of food and dressing space for the main actors. And this is all from celebrity women. Just think about how Hollywood is treating women who don't have the star power to speak up.

Of course this isn't even a problem solo to Hollywood, let alone Paramount, let alone just one movie. And honestly it was probably really sad that when I saw the pay rate for the Sonic 3 cast, I wasn't even surprised, because I've seen worse on bigger projects.
