eden golan has to have 24 hour security detail in malmo because mobs of people have gathered outside her hotel room to protest her participation in a song contest. the finnish eurovision contestant said a video of him interacting with golan was “posted without his consent” and that the video “is not an endorsement” of Israel. her song, “Hurricane”, was originally titled “October Rain”, but was deemed too political for the contest by the EBU because of its references to the Simchat Torah pogrom.

she’s 20 years old. it’s a song contest. Israel has competed in Eurovision forty five times since 1973. Israel has won Eurovision four times and hosted three times. and this is the first time a contestant’s life has been at risk because of conflict in their home country.

who the fuck is being liberated here? who are we helping? more importantly, who is going to be the collateral damage?

Gotta appreciate the love and care with which the animators made an owlbear look so amazing when she’s smashing the shit out of things.

Truly, that was a very sexy decision and I can get behind that 110%

Summary of the Bleach site interview with Abarai Renji’s voice actor Itou Kentarou by @Madarameh1

[posted with permission]

Itou first encountered Bleach when he read it in Jump, liked how its vibes were different from other Jump works. Wanted to play Renji as soon as he he appeared in the manga, but there were no Bleach auditions for him so he auditioned for Ichigo instead. Was happy to get Renji :)

Itou's favourite Renji line is when he begs Ichigo to save Rukia. Also when he promises Rukia to become a shinigami with her; Itou was looking forward to voicing this line and was worried when they cast a female VA to voice young!Renji LOL

Itou's fave character is Hinamori Momo! Loves every side to her, from her gentle side to her devotion to Captain Aizen. His fave moments are Renji and Ichigo training together in the Soul Society arc and at the Soul King Palace.

Itou always thought Renji's original bankai was awesome but was even more excited to see his true bankai. How would he describe Renji? "A man among men." Climbed to the top despite his harsh childhood and developed after encountering Ichigo.

Itou usually shouts the "Hihio Zabimaru!" line for Renji, but for Soo Zabimaru he was instructed by the director and Kubo to say it more calmly without shouting. He likes to shout for these kinds of characters so restraining his voice has been a challenge.

Itou notes how the amount of info on screen impacts how he performs when recording a foreign dub vs an anime. However TYBW visuals are so HQ + informative that he has to hold back. Likes to be extra in the test run before the real thing + gets worried when there's not any ahah

What Itou's found memorable about the TYBW rec is seeing all the captain VAs gather together + get hyped up (Kurotsuchi's VA Nakao even took photos LOL); shows how everyone loves Bleach + is happy to reunite Recalls how for the OG anime everyone was crammed in a small area

Re: the Renji vs Uryuu fight Itou recorded it with Sugiayama. Was happy he got to shout for this fight haha He and Sugiyama noted how nostalgic it was to have these 2 fight considering Uryuu was Renji's first opponent in the human world

Itou notes how knowing vs not knowing the ending can impact one's acting. Something he's conscious of when acting in the TYBW is Renji and Rukia’s relationship - he and Rukia’s VA Orikasa have made it their mission to keep the romance vibes b/w them lowkey LOL

Another aspect about Renji Itou finds it hard to convey is how he's one of the few shinigami considered special to Ichigo.

Itou's conflict is that he rides his road bike as a hobby and for his health but is always tempted to eat and drink somewhere afterwards so he doesn't lose weight. It's something he's dealt with for a decade so he's basically accepted it as his fate now LOL

Itou's message to Bleach fans is to keep him company and to stick around until the end (and see "that scene" with Renji and Rukia)

I forget carmy is a wunderkind in the culinary world like of course he has a place and boat in copenhagen to send marcus and his photo is up in kitchens across the world and he “tells” chef terry about richie and can ask thom browne for last minute custom chef whites and I mean cicero is probably so giving with his money because it’s his nephew but also it’s carmen berzatto

big scary monster girlfriend who lets you tie her up during sex because it makes you feel safer (she doesn’t tell you that these ropes are absolutely useless on her, she could break out of them easier than breathing, but she would never dream of it because you work so hard on the knots and look so cute doing it)

turns your boss ghosts into bar soaps /j

But yeah I made some bar soaps inspired by some of the boss ghosts in Luigi’s Mansion 3! Scents included.

Steward bar soap scent: A medium strong scent, composed of citrus, sandalwood and sage for an uplifting and refreshing scent. Including clear soap cubes for a fun aesthetic!

Chambrea bar soap scent: A strong scent, composed of lavender, rose, and sweet pea for a cutesy, invigorating scent to explore. Topped with white mica (for aesthetic) and lavender petals (for scent.)

Kruller bar soap scent: A strong scent, composed of sage, amber, and juniper for a warm, friendly scent along with a subtle relaxing tone. Bits of sage are dispersed throughout the soap, and the bar is topped with decorative soap sprinkles.

Chef Soulffle bar soap scent: A subtle scent, composed of jasmine, pale santo and sage for an earthy and musky tone. Gritty in texture for thorough cleaning from excessive labor around/in smoke.

If I had a nickel every time Chris Pine played the father of an adventurous, biracial daughter in a fantasy movie where he's estranged from her due to imprisonment after a big venture goes sideways, I'd have two nickels. </Doofenshmirtz>

Red head with bi vibes? Bratty attitude? Smart as hell? I'm done for.
