#medias are annoying

[bestofsophieturner]

Now, the rumors about Sophie and Joe's divorce are slowly changing. Sources now say they already had problems back in April, or that they had "schedules problems with Joe touring and Sophie filming all the time".

While the rumors are less about "Sophie is a bad mom" and more about "they're both at fault", I still find it annoying. The thing is, you can't paint Sophie as a partying girl, doing nothing first, then say she's a very working girl, focusing on her career.

And as a fan of Sophie, I have a hard time buying this narrative. It may sound more reasonable but still... it doesn't align well with what she said and her career. What I'm going to say on this post are all speculations based on she said and did in the public eye. So maybe I'm wrong, but I wanted to express my thoughts.

First look at her projects :

- The Staircase

- A cameo of five minutes in Do Revenge

- An episode for a children program Storybots

I exclude Survive since she filmed it from September to November 2019, before they had their children.

I'll include the fact she was supposed to film a movie last year Wardriver with Dane Dehaan. It has been abandoned or at least Sophie left the project. It's not on her imdb page and we didn't hear about it from a long time ago. There was also this project Come as you are hyped back in 2022 but never really announced. Both projects don't appear on her imdb anymore.

And obsviouly Joan, she's filming it right now since May.

And now what... ?

- The Staircase has been filmed in 2021 for a few months in Atlanta. At least from June to August. I don't think we know exactly how many months, but we know at least one thing. Sophie got a house in Atlanta so she would have her daughter with her. I have no reason to doubt it. To me, it sounds like Sophie was trying to find a balance between her work and family, she apparently did it.

- Do revenge... so it was a cameo. I'm no expert, but I don't think it took a whole month to shoot it, maybe a few days. Especially she did while filming the staircase. So it couldn't take much. And from what I remember, the shooting of the movie itself had been one month or two. So well, not too much.

- Storybots, I have no idea when they filmed it. Since she has red hair, I'd say between summer 2021 and summer 2022. And like the cameo, I don't think it took much time either. Maybe a few days, or a week or two.

Yes she has been working. And actually, I believe The Staircase and Do Revenge have been good choices. So I'm not saying she stopped her career. But to me at least, she doesn't sound like someone who focused more on her career than her family. I might even add that between her two big projects (so the staircase and Joan) there is a gap of almost two years.

Other things...

- During the staircase promo, she said many things... first, that she had a house in Atlanta to have her daughter with her during the shooting.

- Then, that she chooses her projects very carefully because she doesn't want to be away from her daughters.

- I'll add another thing... Joe has been spotted many times with Sophie in UK from April/May to July. So it's a bit hard, to me at least, to believe the absent mother rumor.

So in my opinion, from her interviews and career, she was trying to balance her professional life and personal life.

More, I'd say... pick a struggle, she either focus more on her acting projects than her family or either chooses to spend her time partying.

If you're still there... women are allowed to be more than one thing : mother or wife or working woman. And a woman can be all the things at the same time. I'm tired of those medias trying to paint Sophie as an absent mother.

re: the new discord mobile update, I keep seeing people shouting "send feedback!! tell them you don't like it!!" and honestly? Y'all gotta stop deluding yourselves LOL

Feedback sections like that get ignored. Maybe if Discord was in the business of making changes to benefit its users they would listen, but that's not what they're here to do. The Discord mobile update is here to do one thing and one thing only, and that's to appease stockholders so they can point to the new UI and say "see? look! we're doing things!"

A social media outcry is going to be far more effective than using the in-app feedback option, because social media can't be ignored. If we all played their game and kept our feedback in-app, they could sweep the dissatisfaction under the rug and pretend that there's tons of people who secretly love the changes. It's infinitely more useful to shout about it in a public facing manner so they can't ignore the problem. A public outcry affects their stocks. Feedback through the official channels does not.

The reality is that this update is probably here to stay, because reverting it would mean they wasted a bunch of money developing it, and wasting money is not what stockholders want to hear. Maybe they'll tiptoe back individual features piece by piece, but that's the best we could even hope for. Don't treat Discord like a poor little well-meaning indie company that accidentally pushed an update people didn't enjoy. This was purely to appease investors at the expense of the userbase. They don't care if we like it.

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

Of their five completed years of racing against each other, Lando and Charles have finished with one point between them three times. In 2020, Charles had 98 points and Lando had 97. In 2021, Lando had 160 points and Charles had 159. In 2023, Lando had 205 points and Charles had 206. If, in AD this year, Charles wins and Lando comes 2nd, they will once again end up with a one-point difference.

They both replaced a beloved and long-standing world champion at their respective teams when they joined (kimi raikkonen and fernando alonso). They both prefer the other's teammate over each other.

Their teams are two of the oldest in F1 history, and they're irreperably wrapped up in a history of scandal between each other. They both quickly became their teams' golden child, the one who was going to win the championships, the one who was going to end a decade-long deficit.

Both failed at the hands of Max Verstappen. Don't even get me started on how he fits into all this.

Both have the potential to be entirely shafted by their teams in 2025 because of the new, interesting teammate that everyone believes will win a championship before they'll come close.

They hate each other. They can't get away from each other. They're the same person. Four squared is sixteen.

one of the things that annoys me so bad right now is seeing letterboxd reviews about Lisa Frankenstein being like "she's such a horrible character", "those people didn't deserve to be killed" blah blah blah

SHUT UP

it's a horror romance!! a girl keeps a reanimated dead guy in her closet and falls in love with him! what did you think was going to happen? it's SUPPOSED to be fucked up and weird and that's part of its charm. quit being boring, let female characters (esp in horror) be messy and chaotic and morally gray.

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

ppl will really say shit like "astarion can't be attracted to women just look at the way he behaves" with their whole chest like they're not blatantly stereotyping gay men and erasing vast swathes of bisexual and pansexual men when they do that.
