#lesley every

[mfred]

Welp, I've spent a lot of money in July and it's barely half over. Yes, I am the problem. But let's talk about fun stuff!

What I bought:

Two dresses, one in yellow daffodils (on sale) and the other in blue with multi-colored flowers, and one pair of FROG PRINT pajamas from Lesley Evers. Frog print!!

One green check dress and one purple tunic sweater from Gudrun Sjödén, on sale.

Two short sleeve shirts from Peau de Loup, one cherry print and one with koi fish. They are masc style for femme and non-binary bodies, size inclusive, and upcycled fabric. On sale.

Two hats: one straw fedora because I look so fucking cute in it and one cotton bucket hat for the beach. Sun protection is important.

Two pairs of platform flip flops from Reef, because they were on sale and I couldn't pick between the colors.

Bananas foster nut butter and peach bourbon jam from Big Spoon Roasters. If you enjoy interesting flavored nut butters, Big Spoon Roaster is the way to go. I highly recommend the vanilla caramel and the pistachio.

Two bras, on sale, and I had points to spend. Mid-range busty gals (up to an F/DDD), go to Evelyn & Bobbie for wirefree bras.

Three baguette rings (pink tourmaline, aquamarine, and crystal) from Caitlyn Minimalist. Again, couldn't choose between the colors.

A cat toy for the little monsters who live rent free in my home. They probably won't play with it.

Books. It was buy 2, get 1 free or buy 4, get 2 free. You know I went for 4.

Mooncat nail polish. Three colors from their Powerpuff Girls collection, one thermal, and one gold flake topper.

An orange chair from Wayfair that matches my cat. Not on purpose, but a happy coincedence.

An automatic espresso machine that does everything. It makes delicious coffee! I know because my dad has one and I loved it and when I saw it was on sale for Prime Day, I had to have it.

New wireless earbuds from Jabra that some running magazine swears stay in your ear, on sale for Prime Day. My Google ear buds are always falling out of my ears when I talk, chew, walk, tilt my head, etc.

Me looking at my credit card statement in August:

Two Of Us AU from @bunnieswithknives fanart. It’s really fun so couldn’t help myself from drawing a bunch of these freaks.

(As you see I took a little creative liberty and decided to make Lesley’s design even more ragdoll looking than she already were as a little exercise. And then realized that I need to color coordinate Roy, so at the end only boy kept his original design 👉👈)

I hate the word autistic meltdown, it makes me feel like i’m describing a toddler but it’s the only way i know how to describe my experience and behavior :/

[lavellyne]

thank you so much again @transjarlaxle!!! it was so much fun doing a trade with you and lesley looks so cute in your style. aaa TT _ TT

[carehounds]

a while back I heard that at the start of Coraline, the tools the Beldam used to make Coralines doll were all tools used in embalming and i thought that was really interesting, but one thing that caught my attention even more was that cotton was one of those common materials and I thought, huh, lesley...... lesley has cotton coming out of her face

As an Asian and a major fan of the Jedi, I just wanna slap Lesyle Headland in the face. I'm so tired of ignorant Westerners (aka faux white feminists) like her and Kathleen Kennedy shitting on the Jedi. They're basically insulting and looking down on my people and their culture. I wish Kathleen Kennedy got fired. I wish that SOMEONE could hire an Asian person to direct the Acolyte instead of a white Western woman like Lesyle Headland. She should just go back to making a 3rd season of Russian Doll or whatever. Why is it SO HARD for Disney to hire Asian people to be in charge of a Star Wars series or movie???

The anti-jedi rethoric is very annoying and it upsets me that lucasfilm doesn't try (i might be wrong about them not trying but alas) to at least direct creators working for canon material to stick to GLs original meaning without the very prominent legends bias we know older fans have. You and everyone to whom this characterization is important (I'm one of them!) has every right to be upset about the things she said, but I just want to point out a few things:

We don't know how Acolyte is going to turn out. The statement is worrying but we've seen actors/directors say things in interviews that just don't reflect on what we actually get. (Favreou does this all the time) I say we wait. I'm not an optimistic but I think we can hold off saying it will DEFINITELY be awful until it actually comes out.

Again, it's very upsetting having yet another show trying to be "jedi critical" but I can't help but notice that Filoni, Favreou and multiple other writers have been doing it for years and everyone still watches and reads everything they put out. Not many people seriously call for them being fired. The fact that I've seen way more anger and aggressiveness towards Lesyle is... telling. Go all the way on the critiques of the material when the show comes out (I will) but don't be blind to the fact that she is one of the first openly queer women leading a prominent Disney production. There will be fans being awful to the show just because of it + Amandla's race and gender. Sometimes will be hard to tell which kind of anger someone is expressing but I'll highlight that is NEVER productive to side with bigots, even when you're rightfully angry for different reasons than them.

Which leads to my next point: we should be (I know we already are, just to remember the focus) advocating for diversity on the writing room. That's the space we have to a big cast of opinions and perspectives in the same project, while we only have one director/a few producers. And I think it's important to acknowledge that in that department they've already have gone really far just in the last couple years. We have Debora Chow. Diego Luna was producing Andor. Regardless of the end result, Lesley is an openly queer woman. EVERY SINGLE LEAD BESIDES EWAN IS A POC. This was unimaginable ten years ago. This is just a reminder to not let yourself fall in despair, we're getting there.

Kathleen Kennedy is incredible at her job. I'm not discussing her opinions because they aren't that relevant: she doesn't make any creative decisions. She makes executive and strategic ones, and Star Wars has put out more content under her administration than ever. She is one of the reasons it's so diverse now. Push for her to do better, to hire people who have a vision that aligns with what star wars is meant to be, but calling for her being fired is echoing the dudebros who blame her for every detail that aren't even under her control.

None of this erases the underlying racism in the refusal to understand Jedi culture, you (we) are rightfully angry, specially if Acolyte turns out to be exactly how she said it will. I just think there are more effective ways we can have this conversation and pressure Lucasfilm to do better than boycotting a show we don't even know if is really problematic yet, lest they decide it's easier to stick to the "standard" white straight male pov because it cuts off both the "wokenism" complaints and the ones that what they're doing isn't the right kind of diversity.

Teeter-totter for anyone?

Lesley! She may not seem playful at first, but she just like calmer games like patty cake and such! She will always be ok with playing with dolls though, they are her favorites

[newmovieeveryweek]

week forty-eight (27/11/22)

Clue

8/10

tim curry 🥰 they simply don’t make sets the way they used to and it’s deeply saddening. the sexual assault and objectification of the maid 😍 homophobia 😍 “six all together” “this is getting serious” what a slay. such a good movie

[joepelling]

stuff i remembered to write down from the discord stream

yellow is becky’s favorite character “because he’s a silly goofy guy” and joe’s favorite is duck

their shared fave webseries ep is computer and fave tv is family, becky thinks joe is just copying her

joe’s current favorite song is memories and becky’s current favorite is love

joe jokes they made the show just to sell merch

becky’s favorite designs are lesley and choo choo, joe’s favorites are the simple silly ones

becky describes her own voice as “a victorian schoolboy”

“becky will give every single person [that attends the show] ten pounds 😊” “from joe’s bank account 🤗”

dhmis 1 was originally about a little girl as a teacher but becky hated making human puppets

they think it’s “amazing and cool” that autistic audiences resonate with the show

their advice for new puppeteers is go to the gym and lock yourself in a fridge

becky and joe were walking to the station into a friend after wracking their brains for a title and she was holding some mini models and becky jumped up to hug her and the friend said “don’t hug me i’m scared!” and that’s where they got the name from

there’s a cut scrunty episode that follows it after it runs out of the cat flap

warren was made of silicon and lilly and todney had a lot of details making them the hardest to make

duck’s autotune was removed “to allude to the way the government is controlling us- no, basically because it was too annoying”

(someone says thank you for creating and voicing red guy) “you have no idea how much that means to me. i’m in a very low place in my life, not a lot of compliments every day, i’m going to dress as red guy every day”

they cited the hugga bunch, bruce bickford, and sally cruikshank as some influences

they’re open to adding a latin american character or a drag queen character

they’re interested in doing a physical release of the show and want to announce an international release soon

one of joe’s favorite shows as a kid was the trapdoor, becky liked zap and the movie chitty chitty bang bang

they want to announce new episodes as soon as they can but it’s an expensive and time consuming show to make so they haven’t been renewed yet

the pilot will be never be released since the company that owns it went under, they think it’s “nothing special” and they aren’t proud of it, they recommend watching “anything else”

how old is cliff anyways?? also can u please tell me more abt his brother i love ur au sm

Clifford is freshly 27

And Lesley is 33

Okay Stanislov or Lesley , is the first child of the family who a planned child (their parents doesn't expect another one). And yes his parent's doesn't expect Lesley to be anything because if he can't be successful in his own way he just need to take his father's place. So he a very bright kid and pretty obedient . He show have a talent in sport and martial art and have alot of friends too . But have a pretty good skill and knowledge in marketing and sales

He's very a family guy Alway be the middle of the argument between and Tryin to solve the family problem. Yeah he love his lil brother very much . When Cliff was born his parents put more attention to him because he a destined child and they expected him to be something while he don't. So he a pretty jealous but doesn't grow a grudge to his lil brother he just think he need to get his parents attention in his own way .

And he did , he worked hard at getting achievement and make their parents proud . He still be a golden child despite cliff also got a various achievement due to he's not a obedient child . he always talk back to his parents probably with how he growing up he feel entitled to do so. Lesley doesn't understand this behaviour from his lil brother tho

"you have a good life , wealth , and a parents who supported you and ready to provide for your better future why not just listen to them ?" He thought

(it's probably related with stanley doesn't get enough love in his previous life so when he get one in this he just feel he need to try his best)

-he very serious at working tho , he have a intimidating face at work but a huge sweetheart out of work. Also a classic stanley willing to cheat to get his business Always on top

-Freshly divorce with his EX wife (it's not a arranged marriage) despite look perfect in every way he just bad at maintain romantic reliatioship, well he not a bad father so her ex wife send his daughter to him once a month .

- he provided Clifford with anything (yeah this guys spoiled his brother too much) and send him to therapy once a week because he knew Clifford mental problem and doesn't want something happen to him again

Hamilton fans may have a complex about them, but if you think they’re bad you’ve never met a theater kid who DOESNT like hamilton.
