Actors AU!

Garments, most of them are for promotional material, but sometimes the actors take them out to have a bit of fun. Well, a bit more than sometimes.

Props have somehow not been broken when it comes to the garments.

I like to imagine collaborations like that one with Discovery are made to promote the series and said collaboration. Which then brings me to the idea that they end up sending 37 and Regulus to many parts of the world a lot because they're some of the most famous members

I have to say, I believe Regulus loves every single Garment of hers. I bet she wears them from time to time outside of filming because she likes how it looks on her.

Not sure if Sonetto is very fond of her second garment but her third garment is so comfortable she wears it often.

I especially think the youngest one enjoy said clothes because they're more casual, like Eagle's and La Source's. They're simple but also really nice.

This wouldn't be a proper garment discussion without mentioning Isolde's. I believe it is way too fancy for her to wear around, but she's fascinated by the concept of it. An opera singer in a jazz outfit? Amazing, 10/10

Separating the event garments from those that are collaborations makes it funnier to imagine, because some are made to promote their movies and sometimes you have Regulus live from Los Angeles dressed as a rocker with 37 following behind.

The Forgotten (Don't Look in the Basement, 1973)

"Perhaps I shouldn't have come here at all."

"I don't think there's any point in our talking about your leaving, Miss Beale. You forget, you were very anxious to take this job. I made special provisions for you to be here."

"I realise that, but I don't know what to do!"

"I'm the doctor and you're the nurse, and what I do decides what you will do!"

Restorative or Transformative?: Homoerotic Subtext, The Closet, and Ciphers in Pop Culture. The nature of commercial art is that it’s sometimes bad and inconsistent. Notably it’s also misogynistic. One way in which audiences try to reconcile massive plot holes or gaps in character motivation is by reading secrets or hidden information into a plot.

Commonly, male characters are interpreted as closeted gay or bisexual to reconcile the absence of women from commercial narratives with the generally stunted and poorly-written male characters that form the focus on said texts. This reading has become especially common among a non-heterosexual milieu. Rather than transforming the original text into some radically different new form, this closeted interpretation seeks to make the original text stand on its own as a story rather than a Swiss cheese of dumb writing decisions.

This interpretation only works for a specific type of pop, usually genre fiction. Any story in which tortured male leads eschew women in favour of male-male bonds (because female characters are constantly killed off, written sparsely, or written out, because the production team keeps casting their male buddies, because actors demand to keep having scenes with their bros, whatever) can become a sounder structure if you put one of them in a closet.

The gay interpretation is the natural consequence of shoddy misogynistic writing from ventures like Supernatural, Naruto, all the biggest hits. It’s also the natural consequence of more benignly misogynistic writing like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or The Lord of the Rings, where women aren’t necessarily rejected but are simply absent from the worlds of the protagonists. When the emotional crux of the story falls on male-male interactions, this reads as romantic because society at large priorities (definitively heterosexual) romance as the pinnacle of human connection. Two forces are in conflict, the primacy of heterosexuality (read as: romance) and the primacy of men.

Anyway. All that is to say that the typical gay or bisexual reading of male characters in pop fiction comes from a very real place. But, in some places, that’s the default interpretation. Angst, insecurity, secrets, double lives, fatigue, disappointment, restrained passion, stunted personal growth, anyone living in the closet can tell you that it impacts and defines your whole life to know that you live in a way fundamentally incompatible with The Proper Way that life is structured around down to tax law and superstore prices (which assume a heterosexual nuclear family unit). Characters in fiction also tend to have personal problems because that makes them interesting and tasty.

If you’ve grown up on stories with the specific type of misogyny that can be papered over with a closeted interpretation of the male leads, carrying this interpretation over to any male character will make sense more often than not. Even a bit of angst or insecurity? Well of course that makes sense if a character is closeted.

Except that’s hurt a normal part of fiction, and sometimes the closeted interpretation takes away from the point of a character. If a male character is on another axis of marginalization, the closeted interpretation imposed by the slash reading community downplays or trivializes the effects of that marginalization in the plot by overwriting it with another type of marginalization. Alternately, sometimes a character’s heterosexuality is a part of the story. There are some sorts of critiques or investigations of misogyny or masculinity that don’t work if the character has an ‘opt out’ of the cisheteropatriarchal perspective. Not that gay/bisexual men aren’t except from misogyny, but misogyny masculinity and heterosexuality are so tightly linked that it sort of defeats the point if you interpret that character outside of heterosexuality.

All that is to say—the closet interpretation is a quick and easy spice to apply to the weaker parts of action-adventure genre fiction to make it taste better. It draws from a large enough sample of art that it’s pretty widely applicable. Because of that, it’s part of some people’s [my] default interpretation package just because the semi-dull macho show at least gets less dull if you imagine there’s a reason for there to be no girls besides simple hatred. That then forms its own problem where the interpretation that works with your average genre work gets then blanket-applied to all genre works and obscures the places where the closet interpretation doesn’t fix the work, and actually makes it less interesting.

In a remarkable display of cinematic fervor, "Furiosa" ignited the Cannes Film Festival with an electrifying premiere that left audiences in awe and admiration.

With its captivating story, stunning visuals, and powerhouse performances, "Furiosa" has set the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable cinematic journey, one that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on audiences around the world.

the thing about Hawai’i politics is that. You absolutely need to criticize the local government. But you also need to stand the economic and political politics of living in a place where the local government doesn’t have an iota of the power of the mega corporations like Hilton and Sheraton that run mega resorts here, nor the billionaires like mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, or Jeff bezos that run second homes here or have quasi-feudal estates or exert far far more power than the relatively progressive county and state governments

like. You have to clock what it is that a man worth over 100 billion dollars purchased 98% of an island. What that’s like. What power does a city councilman who represents that island in a council have over a man worth over 100 billion who both owns the land people live on AND the hotels they work at

Why do you ever thought, among the other ‘relationship’, that Hamille could be real?

Thank you! I wasn’t in the fandom during that time

I’m not sure it was real, to be fair. I was also taking a break from fandom during the time Harry was dating Camille, so I didn’t really experience much of it firsthand. But I think it’s interesting that Camille was written into the official narrative of Harry’s life (by Harry!) in a way his previous relationships were not. Her voice is included on “Cherry” and he referred to her as his girlfriend (after the fact). And in that way, it did stand out to me and come across as… emotionally authentic.

However, I don’t think we as fans could ever know what relationships are “real” versus “not real.” People make a lot of arbitrary distinctions like if a relationship of Harry’s is “too public” it’s bound to be fake (hence why his relationship with Camille was more believable to some people). And the list goes on. But we really have no way of knowing any of that. I think, in most cases, it would be impossible to distinguish between a real relationship and a fake one. Would a real relationship that’s being leveraged for PR look markedly different from a fake one, for example? Would a romantic relationship look worlds away from a bearding relationship where the parties are good friends and enjoy spending time together? And there’s a whole lot of grey area in between. So I’m probably not the best person to ask about the girlfriends because, while I have a position, I also think anything is possible and we as fans have no way of knowing.

TIG is a great actor, and he can play many different roles and do different things, but an accurate and believable Southern accent is not one of them.

actually the most annoying “criticism” (it’s not really a criticism) is when people disliked a movie (especially one with an ensemble cast) and they’re like “i bet the people who claimed to like it can’t name more than two of its characters 🙄😏” okay well i personally can name them all in order of appearance but that’s not the point
