#my favorite thing about my career was always writing scripts

[mjfass]

One thing I’ve mentioned that I love about some AEW storylines it’s how they mix up some feuds and past stories. Like, right now, the Bryan/BCC storyline collided with Jack Perry and his own story with Luchasaurus and Christian Cage who will face Bryan at some point. Besides, you have Darby Allin who also has an opportunity for the AEW World Championship (let’s not forget about Darby’s own story with Jack and Christian) Then, we have The Bucks’ own feud with Claudio and Yuta. And also Moxley small but friendly interaction with Jack.

I just love how everyone is connected with everyone. It makes everything more complex and interesting.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, door, chair.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, door, chair.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, door, chair.

On days where you’re feeling particularly bored you list the things you can see. Unfortunately for you, your surroundings rarely change. Of course you could change that, if you asked him for something he’d give it to you, anything you wanted. Unless of course it was something he thought you could hurt yourself with or contact the outside world with. 

You didn’t often ask. 

Whenever you can have a conversation with him he always says the same thing. 

“If you stopped being so stubborn you might actually be happy.” 

“I would do anything for you.” “Then let me out.” “Anything but that.” 

“It’s not as terrible as you make it out to be. It isn’t an actual cage, it isn’t so bad.” 

So you don’t talk to him unless you have to. 

But some days you’re just so painfully, agonizingly, bored and you can’t help yourself. So you scream at him, or you pound on the unyielding plexiglass, or you hold your hand up against it, hoping he’ll touch the other side and you can briefly imagine yourself having physical contact with another human being. 

Sometimes you’ll even play his games. 

You’ll read the scripts he slides through the small square opening in the cage that can’t be more than a foot wide, and act out scenes with him simply because it gives you something to do and for fucks sake you’re desperate for something to do. It’s so easy to get caught up in him, if it wasn’t so easy you’d probably let yourself do it more often, thankfully, it’s so fucking scary. If you spend too much time in the box you’re worried that eventually you’ll forget that you aren’t a doll and you'll grow to like your box. So you do your damndest to maintain a wall between the two of you, but when that wall is glass it is destined to break eventually. So you scream and you fight until you get tired, and then you let the walls down as you rest, before returning to your struggle. And everytime you let the walls down they take longer to put back up. 

At the end of the day it never matters how you treat him, he loves you all the same. 

Even on days where you scream your throat raw and throw your furniture against the walls, if you ask him to get you takeout from your favorite restaurant, or watch a movie with you, he always will. You asked him about it once. Why didn't he just make you do what he wanted? Why didn’t he just make you obey? He had looked genuinely offended, as if he couldn’t believe you thought him capable of such a thing. 

And he told you that he loved you.

More than anything. 

That you were his most prized possession. 

That he would never do anything to hurt you, it would be like if he were angry and he threw a priceless vase, the only person it would hurt is himself. 

You had nodded as if he was making any sense and you’d turned back to the movie he’d picked out. 

You were a vase. 

You were a collectible. 

A priceless, collectable. He kept you in perfect condition and never took you out of the box. Not even to play with you himself. A small, rather demented part of you, is starting to wish that he would. Of course you don’t want him to force himself upon you, you aren’t that far gone. (Yet.) But it’s been so long since you’ve touched another person. You would give your left arm just to be held. If your calendar serves you well, it’s been just over two years since you last saw someone who wasn’t Javi. 

And Javi wouldn’t touch you. 

Not ever. You were too perfect to be defiled in such a way. He would sometimes hold his hand against the glass when you held up your own, he even kissed you through it once. (Although it had been rather awkward and neither one of you ever talked about it again.) But he never touched you. 

Sometimes you can’t help but wonder what would have happened if you’d met Javi in a social setting. He is rather handsome, and though you hate to admit it, when he isn’t leering he’s almost charming. 

Almost.

Everyday you slip further into the fantasy where Javi does something to break up the monotony. Is that his goal? To make you so desperate for human connection that you eventually snap and beg him to touch you? You shudder as you wonder how long that would take. After the first year you stopped wondering what would happen when he got bored of you. You know deep down that that will never happen. If anything his devotion  for you only continues to grow with each passing day. If it’s possible he probably loves you more now then he did at the start of your stay here. Despite everything he takes care of you, in his own strange sort of way. 

Like how he tracks your cycle, always making sure you have anything you need on those days. Sometimes he even knows it’s starting before you do, he’ll bring you baskets with blankets and candy and any other little trinket or gift he saw that made him think of you. 

Jewelry, little plush toys, and books. Anything to try and make you feel anything other than the misery that constantly loomed over you as you waited for his next visit. He never goes more than a few days without seeing you and he always apologizes when he does. He returns with your favorite shampoo or lotion to make it up to you, but it never really changes how you feel about him. It’s nice to fantasize a world in which you enjoy your only source of company but you’re careful to never let that fantasy bleed into reality. 

If he were actually your partner you’d have locked him down ages ago. A part of you knows that he doesn’t want that kind of relationship with you though. He doesn’t want a girlfriend, you’re much more than that. You’re more like a goddess in a cage to him than an actual human being. A beloved pet bird. It’s clear he feels something more than simple love for you. It’s a devotion, a conscious effort to worship you. 

You are to be kept in pristine condition. 

Of course that doesn’t mean he can’t look. 

Two and a half years. 

That’s how long it took for the looking to escalate into something more. You were watching a movie. 

50 First Dates

You had picked it out, Javi liked action movies but would never complain when you wanted to watch a rom-com. You were on your bed, curled up under the blankets in a hoodie and sweatpants. You haven’t worn makeup since he took you, you rarely brushed your hair, you never put much thought into your appearance, and Javi wouldn’t give you a mirror. 

You had one, a long time ago. Within the first week you’d smashed it, threatening to slit your own throat if he didn’t let you out. All that resulted in was you no longer being allowed to have breakables. Plastic cutlery and paper plates were wordlessly passed to you from that point forward.

You had been watching in silence, he sat on the couch outside the cage like he always did and it wasn’t until you heard a shuddering groan that you turned around to see him kneeling beside the cage, one hand pressed up against the glass, steadying himself, the other wrapped around his cock.  

You were frozen in place. 

What are you supposed to do in that situation? 

You watched, slack jawed as he took his time. His gaze made you feel naked, like he could see through the layers of blankets and baggy clothing. 

He had looked you in the eye when he finished. Briefly staring wide eyed before his eyes squeezed shut and with a long, drawn out moan and a strained cry of your name. His cum painted the glass and before you could form any sort of response he was already stuffing himself back into his pants and standing. You want to say something, anything. Something to hold him accountable for what he just did, but you can’t think of anything, and he’s already leaving. 

Before you can even blink he’s gone, without so much as a glance in your direction. And you’re left alone, in the lamp light, unable to escape the sight of his filth on the glass. Covering your head with a blanket as you waited for it to be late enough for the power to cut out and leave you in a safe, and comfortable darkness. 

A part of you hoped that the white speckles would be gone when you woke up but you weren’t that lucky. 

You faced away from that wall, with your head buried in a book until you looked at the clock and knew it was almost time to face him again. When he returned he had an aura of shame around himself, his arms were full of grocery bags and his eyes were red rimmed and teary. 

“I’m so sorry- I just- I love you so much, I don’t know what came over me.” If this was a normal relationship and the two of you had maybe gotten into an argument or something you would have forgiven him. After all he looked genuinely remorseful as he stared at you, going through the bags before setting down several takeout containers with labels you recognized. He had gone out and gotten all your favorites. Your favorite fast food place, as well as a high end chinese restaurant you loved for special occasions, and a clear plastic case with a slice of your favorite flavored cake from a small bakery near your apartment that you frequented. (You’d never asked him to get you anything from there before, you’d never even mentioned the place to him.) 

Through his mumbled apologies he set down your favorite bubble tea flavor and a water bottle. 

He had passed everything to you through the opening in the cage with trembling hands as he sniffled. Once you had everything he sprayed the drying remnants of his release with Windex, pulling several paper towels off the roll and wiping it until it was as if it never happened. By the time he was finished his cheeks were red and big tears rolled down his face. 

“Hey, it’s okay.” Before you can stop yourself you’re comforting him, as if he’s the victim in this situation. 

“It’s not okay, I don’t want you to think that that’s why you’re here.” He mumbles sadly, letting his forehead hit the glass. Through your disgust for your own words you sense something else.

Opportunity. 

The only chance you’re going to get for escape involves him unlocking the door. Something he hasn’t done since he put you in here in the first place. You’ve tried in the past. Not often, there weren’t very many chances, you had everything you needed here, running water and a bathroom, any other sustenance was provided by him through the little opening. There was so rarely an opportunity, and when there were he always anticipated your plans before you got to put them into motion. But you’ve never tried deception. You think you would have, considering you’re an actress but it had never crossed your mind until just now. You can’t half ass this though. If you decide to do this you will get one chance to do it right. 

Go big or go home. 

“No really, it’s okay. It’s sort of… flattering.” His face drops the second you say it and regret starts creeping in. You’re going to die here. He’s going to keep you here until the day you die and no one will ever know what happened to you. A young starlight, taken out in her prime. 

“It’s not, it’s disgusting.” He tosses the paper towels away, sniffling to himself as he stands with his hands clasped in front of him, swaying anxiously back and forth. You take a seat on your bed across from him, fighting the urge to put your hand on the glass. You don’t want to lay it on too thick, he’ll see right through that. 

“It’s fine, it’s- it’s natural.” You’re struggling to find the right words that make it feel real. At one point you were a rather talented actress but you’re out of practice. “Seriously. Especially from you. It’s really sweet.” Fuck, are you doing too much?

He doesn’t respond. Instead, he chews his lip as he stares at you, you can tell he’s skeptical. He should be. You so rarely speak to him and when you do it’s never to be kind. 

“Actions speak louder than words.” 

Someone said that in a movie Javi picked, you had sat and let him read the scene to you afterwards. 

He wants an actress, you can give him that. You can perform, as long as that’s all it is. If it’s a performance you can keep your wall up. You stumble off the bed, your legs feeling like jelly as you pull open the drawer on your nightstand. 

This plan feels stupider by the minute but you need to commit.

He didn’t gift you sex toys the way he did with other little things to make you happier. But they were always just sort of there. In their original packaging, shoved in your nightstand drawer with a few batteries he’d left as well, they’d been here when you woke up in the cage. You doubt you’ll be able to relax enough to do this without a little help, and you have to be convincing. If you aren’t believable he’s unlikely to trust you in the future. If you fuck this up now you’ll never get another chance. 

It’s a pale pink rabbit. You’d probably never buy something like it for yourself, it looks… expensive. The silicone is smooth against your fingers as you rip open the packaging, twisting the base open to pop in two batteries. Rushing in an attempt to not lose your nerve. When you gather your courage you risk a glance up at him, just fast enough to watch his tongue dart out and wet his lips.

So he does want this. 

Good. 

Pressing the button on the toy makes it buzz to life.  

Okay. 

This isn’t so bad. It’s just masturbating, if you do this for him you can take advantage of the obvious attraction he has for you. Even if it doesn’t work immediately, eventually this ends with him letting you out, or at the very least letting himself in, which is all you need. 

So you get back into bed, and you lean on a stack of pillows before really focusing on him. 

And you ask him the question he didn’t bother to ask you.

“Is this okay?” You hope the trembling in your voice comes off as endearing. 

His throat bobs as he nods. Maybe he doesn’t mind that you’ve been laying it on a little thick. Maybe you’ve denied him your affections for so long that he doesn’t want to risk rejecting any advance from you. No matter how out of the blue it seems/.

You push your sweats down to your ankles before kicking them off the bed. No time for embarrassment or regret now, if he senses hesitation none of this will be worth it. He’s moved to be sitting on the couch directly outside the cage now. His knees pressed together as he sits with his hands in his lap, looking almost comically polite. 

No sense putting off the inevitable. 

It’s been a while, there’s a camera in the corner of the cage so you don’t masturbate often, and when you do it’s late at night, once the lights are off and you can hide under your blanket. You can’t do that now though, that would defeat the purpose. 

You leave the toy off as you shove it down the front of your panties. Pressing the soft head of it against your slit, finding it surprisingly easy to tease your entrance with it. 

Are you wet? 

It’s been a while, that’s why. 

Javi certainly hasn’t wasted any time. If he were sitting any closer he’d be fogging up the glass, his hand is shoved down his pants, his face already flushed red. His usual rigid posture is lost as he leans back into the couch cushions, refusing to tear his eyes off of you. Pulling your bottom lip between your teeth you push the toy into you, holding back a gasp as you swallow. At least it feels sort of good. Good enough to make you wish you’d swallowed your pride and used this before today. 

Your body moves instinctually as your free hand reaches forward to push your panties down and turn the vibe on in one motion, the silicone attachment pressing against your clit as you press the toy deeper into your pussy. It’s a little too easy to relax suddenly. Javi now slowly strokes himself, his cock in his hand, looking painfully hard as he squeezes the base of his shaft, almost as if he’s scared of blowing his load too soon. 

Good. 

The less time it takes the better. 

At least that’s what you tell yourself as you angle the toy, letting the tip of it brush against your g-spot and drawing an authentic moan from you. Fighting the urge to cover your mouth in surprise, you repeat the motion. The combination of sensations making your toes curl and your back arch into the mattress. 

“Fuck-” Your voice catches in your throat, your fingers twitch against the button to turn the vibrations up a level. 

Once you find your rhythm it’s easy to forget about the nerves and what’s at stake. It’s easy to get lost in the sensation and the sight of Javi shuddering as he gasps. It’s easy to focus on the attractive parts of him for a brief moment, to make things easier. And it’s easy to wonder if his cock would feel better than the toy that hums and makes your body tense up deliciously. 

It’s actually terrifying how easy it is. 

It’s enough to make you horrified for just a split second. He wasn’t lying when he said you could be happy if you stopped fighting. Twisted into the pleasure you’re feeling is something else. Relief. Relief for the peace you find when you stop fighting him. You could feel this good all the time if you wanted, you and Javi could have your favorite food for dinner, you could watch your favorite movies, and act out your favorite scenes. 

You could feel good. 

You could have nights like these where you watch him jerk off his pretty, thick cock and know that someone loves you enough to take care of you like this. You could let him buy you pretty things and toys that make you feel so so so good. 

And that thought terrifies you. 

If you stayed in this cage you would eventually become entirely complacent. 

It might not be tomorrow, or next week, or next year, but eventually.

You will be happy to flutter about your cage once you’ve forgotten how to fly. 

His pretty little bird. 

It’s your orgasm that snaps you out of that living nightmare. You hadn’t even realized you’d still been fucking the toy, pleasuring yourself to that little daydream. This wasn’t a good idea and you shouldn’t have done it but it’s too late for that now especially when you’re groaning out his name as you remove the still buzzing toy, now slick with your wetness. Javi’s eyes are wide as he clearly can’t hold back any longer as he dirties his shirt and pants with his own release. 

As you quickly reach for the toy, turning it off, you pull your panties up in a hurry. Maybe you should push your luck and ask him to come into the cage now. A sense of dread is settling in your stomach as you realize that you can’t be here much longer, who knows how quickly you’ll crumble if you keep letting yourself do this. It’s best to make this a swift process where you don’t have any more time to sink into the hell that is acceptance of these four glass walls. 

You’re about to do it. About to tell him that he should join you, that it would feel better for the both of you if he was in the cage as well but you don’t get a chance to as he zips his pants back up.

“Go to bed, when you’re asleep I’m gonna leave you a gift.” He stands abruptly, giving you a reassuring smile before pressing his hand up to the glass. You don’t hesitate to crawl up the length of the bed and press your own to his, it’s brief but you can feel the connection here. 

This is just the beginning. 

After today you’ll put more effort in. You’ll make it happen and you’ll make it happen fast. You can put the time and effort in, it’s not like you have anything better to do. You’ll convince him that it’s real before you lose yourself entirely and when the day finally comes where he opens the door you won’t waste the opportunity. 

You’ll leave your room. 

You can figure out the logistics of it later but for now you take the sleeping pill he slides through the opening every night he visits. You don’t usually take it but you need sleep and this will be easier if he thinks you’re compliant. With a sip of your drink the little pill goes down and your eyes close. 

And you dream that you’re a bird, flying through a blue sky.  

You sleep better than you ever have before in the cage. 

Until you wake, the lamp being on is the only indicator you have that it’s daytime. Your hair stands on end as you sit up. He was here. Things have been moved, little things, noticeable things. Your empty drink is tossed in the bin and it smells of cleaning supplies. He doesn’t ever come inside the cage, that goes against everything he tells you. Your head is spinning as you try to figure out what’s different. How long were you out? The pills have never made you feel this fuzzy before on the rare occasions that you’ve taken them, you do your best to focus but it’s difficult when everything’s so muddled. So you do the one thing you know will clear your head and you list the things you see. 

Desk, bed, lamp, television, chair.

Something’s wrong, different. 

He said he was going to give you a gift. What the fuck did he do? Did he leave it in here? Was it too big to fit through the opening? Is that why he came into the cage? 

You don’t catch it immediately, but there is a note taped to the inside of the glass. 

I knew you’d learn to be happy : ) 

See you tonight.

Love, Javi 

You look back around the room, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, chair.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, chair.

Desk, bed, lamp, television, chair.

Oh. 

i no longer have a tag list, follow @lincolndjarinnotifs for updates on my writing!!

[a-a-a-anon]

appreciation post for Lise Mayer!! she co-wrote The Young Ones (and The Bachelor Boys book, additional material like when they did Comic Relief, etc), which is well known. but she also wrote for other things in the alternative comedy scene like Rik Mayall and Ben Elton's comedy tour (source: BBC Breakfast Time interview)! and, something I didn't know until recently: she co-wrote/wrote for Kevin Turvey! she's not credited in his television appearances, but see below for sources.

i really loved the podcast episode she did with Alexei Sayle about TYO, you gain a lot of insight into her perspective! she also mentions misogynistic treatment like being asked to go make tea when they were doing script readings, not getting invited to a big BBC party because it was presumed she'd be Rik's plus-one, and getting groped at the BBC bar. it pissed me off on her behalf and partly prompted this post.

some specific accolades/accreditation/fun facts:

Rik crediting her with writing/conceiving the Kevin Turvey non-joke "All right, biting political satire: What do Lech Walesea and Menachem Begin have in common? They’ve both got foreign names! What do you mean it’s not funny?" (x)

Alexei Sayle in Thatcher Stole My Trousers crediting Lise with co-writing Turvey: "Lise was, like Linda for mine, a vital part of Rik’s career, co-writing both The Young Ones and Rik’s character Kevin Turvey..."

a 1987 source for Lise co-writing Turvey: "The assumption that women do not write comedy scripts was one with which Lise Mayer, co-writer of The Young Ones television series, has also had to contend. She started writing for Rik Mayall’s Kevin Turvey in the television series A Kick Up the Eighties..." (x)

Rowland Rivron (comedian who toured with The Comic Strip gang and lived with Rik and Lise) in What the f*** did I do last night?: "[Lise] also had the unenviable job of standing at the side of the stage when Rik was performing, and jotting down anything he said that was unscripted. If it got a laugh, it would be woven into the next night’s routine."

the only time i've ever seen a Rik Mayall/Ade Edmondson/Lise Mayer writing credit: for a poem called Distance which was collected in this anthology! Rik and Ade seem to have acted it out (or at least a version of it) in this 20th Century Coyote performance

Rik on Lise writing TYO: "‘She discovers different things: the comedy of embarrassment and awkwardness – she draws out the cheating and stealing that goes on in the house.’" (x) (Lise also says her "favorite comedy was always the comedy of embarrassment" in the Alexei Sayle podcast)

Rik: "... Lise Mayer wrote this great scene where I find a tampon in a handbag and it's my birthday party and I think it's a present because my character is Rick, who is such a git, he didn't know." (x)

Helen Lederer in Not That I'm Bitter, writing about being on The Young Ones: "[Lise] was known to be the brains behind it all, particularly the more surreal elements…"

she and Rik chose the bands (x)

Lise: “We’d have a table read at which point we’d discover that the script ran over an hour long, and then I’d have a sleepless night editing it.” Alexei: “You did that?” Lise: “Usually me, yeah…” (she later explains they'd present the script Monday and rehearsals were Tuesday, Wednesday-so she literally had one night to edit!) (x)

facts from the blu-ray commentary tracks:

Rick's yellow dungarees in Interesting were based off a picture of Lise in a similar pair

Lise wrote an essay about the tampon joke in Interesting so that the BBC didn't cut the scene (though they still edited it)

Paul Jackson (producer) credits Lise with arguing "you are seriously telling me that we cannot refer on television to something that happens to 50% of the population for about 30 years of their life? and we're not allowed to even refer to it" to make an executive back off about the tampon joke in a meeting

Lise came up with Neil's flowerpot covering in Nasty

Vyvyan/Vivian's name comes from Lise having lived in Vyvyan Terrace, Bristol

Lise thought of the cast switching costumes in Bambi (one of my favorite moments!!) (/end of commentary track facts)

this is guesswork, but i've seen Ben Elton and Rik Mayall's handwriting and i'm pretty sure the editing/handwriting on the bottom left on this script must be Lise's, which gives insight into what/how she wrote: (x)

i feel like it's easy for people to overlook or minimize Lise's impact, something that happens to female creators far too often. i hate when women's identities are framed around their association to a man-girlfriend to Rik in this case-which was the norm whenever i saw Lise discussed in articles/books/online discussions about TYO. it's important to know she was a writer and co-creator with her own identity and (underappreciated) contributions. The Young Ones (and Kevin Turvey, and things we don't even know she goes uncredited for) would not have been the same—or wouldn't have even existed—without her!

Привет, возможно, ты не тот человек, который сможет ответить на этот вопрос. Но как ты справляешься или справлялась с периодом/-ми, когда ты не рисовала, хотя были идеи,желания,мысли которые можешь нарисовать? При этом у тебя есть возможность рисовать.

Я уже как год нахожусь в таком состоянии, хоть и планировал, что рисованием будет частью мой профессии в каком-то смысле. Я даже училище окончил. Многие художники пишут, что это может быть взаимосвязано друг с другом,т.к. за 4 года проходим под давление, тонусом, стрессом от большого обилия работ, набития рук,человеческого фактора, несправедливости и пр . У кого-то это проходит со временем, быстро или медленно.

Я поступил в институт с мыслю, вдруг знакомый, но отличающий сценарий сможет помочь выйти из этого состояния. Но мне это не помогло, только больше разочаровало. Я использую свои знания, но только мне больше приходиться скорее нарушать правила новых преподавателей, т.к. основной набор людей пришел после школы и никогда не интересовались рисованием, просто поступили в отделение, где обещали что их обучат. Но обёртка оказалась другой, чем сама конфета.

Ещё из-за обширной популярности нейронок, я иногда считаю что отучился на безработного,т.к. не могу полносью пользоваться своими навыками и начитался большим кол-вом скандалов с нейронками в обществе и обществе художников. Хотя и не считаю, что они смогут полностью заменить человеческий труд.

В любом случае, спасибо за ответ, совет и хорошего тебе дня

Hi, maybe, you're not correct person who can answer this question. But how you come through or you did come with period/-s when you don't draw, but you have ideas, dreams thoughts which you can draw. At the same time you have time for it.

I stay a year in this situation, therefore I planed that drawing would be part of my career, in some cases. I even graduated from art university. Most artis write that both of them are united because you spent 4 year with pressure, tonus, stress of lots of work, getting knowledge and skills, human factor, unfair and other. Somebody go through it about year or two or more time.

I even went to institute, hoping knew but a little bit different script would help me. But it didn't, it more disappointed. I use my knowledge, but I more yous them as break rules of some teachers, because most people were taken without any knowledge about art and drawing. They just became a students, who were told, that they would learn about it, but book cover was wrong, what about this book.

Also, because of big popularity of Ai, sometimes i think, that i trained to be unemployed. Because i can't use my skills and read lots scandals with Ai in society and art society. But I don't think that human work will be take by them.

By the way, thanks you for answer, advise and happy day for you

Привет!╰(*´︶`*)╯

Звучит как пресыщение: рисования так много и не всегда в радость, что даже при желании творить для себя не остаётся сил – морально.

Во всём нужна мера, даже в любимом деле, иначе есть риск потерять тягу к своему хобби, которое стало и учёбой, и возможной профессией.

После долгих лет обучения и работы лишь зарплата связывает многих людей с их прежней страстью, и я бы не хотела такой участи для тебя.

Творчество – уникальный душевный процесс, и нейронки никогда не смогут заменить нас в этом, какими бы продвинутыми они ни были.

Удачи и вдохновения! (*´∀｀*)

**********

Hii!╰(*´︶`*)╯

Sounds like satiety: there's so much drawing and it's not always in joy that even when you want to create for yourself, there's no strength left, morally.

You need a measure in everything, even with your favorite thing, otherwise there's a risk of losing the craving for your hobby which has become both a study and a possible profession.

After many years of studying and working, only a salary connects many people with their former passion, and I wouldn't like such a fate for you.

Creativity is a unique soulful process, and AI can never replace us in this, no matter how advanced it is.

Good luck and inspiration! (*´∀｀*)

excerpts from this article : “Behind the scenes of "Sunshine by My Side", a story of starting over again”

"I would think, why would a young, handsome and sunny boy like a divorced female director who is going through difficulties?" The plot gives a good explanation for this question - because Jian Bing once illuminated a small, dark corner in Shengyang’s heart.

The similarity between Xiao Zhan and Sheng Yang is a coincidence

The characters of Sheng Yang and Jian Bing can be seen from their names, as well as the warm and healing relationship between them. In the initial script setting, Sheng Yang was as direct, light and sunny as his name, without so many layers, just a simple and warm big boy. However, after Li Xiao and Xiao Zhan started to contact each other because of discussing the script , Li Xiao discovered a temperament in Xiao Zhan that could be added to Sheng Yang.

This was Li Xiao’s first close contact and understanding of actor Xiao Zhan. “I found that he was different from what I imagined.” Li Xiao said that before this, she had not fully understood Xiao Zhan and just know that he is very popular.

Perhaps this is also a stereotype, giving people a sense of distance and room for speculation. But when Xiao Zhan sat in front of Li Xiao, Li Xiao felt Xiao Zhan was beyond it. "He has a classical temperament, especially like a person who came from the past, unlike us modern people who are always surrounded by all kinds of information, his energy will be scattered, but he does not seem to be distracted by the complicated surrounding environment."

While discussing scripts, Li Xiao and Xiao Zhan would also recommend some of their favorite movies to each other, "I didn't expect his taste in movies to be so literary. Some of them are really boring movies that I can't stand."

Because of this, the story of "Wei Sheng Huozhu" popped up in Li Xiao's mind, "I think there is no love and attraction for no reason in this world. In real life, everyone can feel the hormonal changes of both parties, just like someone." It’s a kind of metaphysics, but in TV dramas, the audience may not be able to feel it, so they have to do some homework on how two people attract each other.”

In this story about a young man holding a pillar, the first thing Li Xiao thought of was warmth. Jian Bing inadvertently illuminated Sheng Yang's inferiority complex caused by his father's career, and gave him some encouragement and positive guidance. At completely different stages in their lives, the two gave each other some help and met again ten years later. "Such a romantic date and a story of worshiping a girl for ten years happened in Sheng Yang, played by Xiao Zhan. It's reasonable."

Xiao Zhan's dedicated and persistent temperament adds more possibilities to the role of Sheng Yang. After creating so many scripts, Li Xiao found that sometimes when writing a character, if the actor's own temperament is not very close to the character, it is actually half the effort. But if the character is very close to the actor, the actor's own natural temperament and temperament can be used. status, that is, getting twice the result with half the effort.

"Sheng Yang has a kind of stubbornness. He will do something very determinedly and can stick to it for a long time. Including his good impression of Jian Bing, which lasted for ten years, all came from my contact with Xiao Zhan." Li Xiao said.

On the contrary, Sheng Yang's obvious external settings, such as his career as a designer, family atmosphere, ability to draw, etc., are similar to Xiao Zhan's, but it is a coincidence. Li Xiao didn't know that Xiao Zhan was a designer before becoming an artist, and he didn't know that the plot where Sheng Yang painted clouds for Jian Bing happened to use Xiao Zhan's painting skills.

During the script creation stage, director Song Xiaofei and screenwriter Li Xiao had reached a very clear consensus on "The Sun Is With Me": the story should be real and down-to-earth, rather than just creating a romantic idol-like love.

Therefore, all the scenes in the drama are designed to make the actors feel this reality. For example, we chose to shoot in Chongqing because Xiao Zhan is from Chongqing. That is where he grew up and lived. There is no strangeness to this city, and it is easier for him to believe that he is Sheng Yang himself.

Including Sheng Yang's home, the director led the art and props team to build a 1:1 replica of the two-story corridor in the studio to capture Sheng Yang commuting and returning home. In order to create the bustling atmosphere of the courtyard, the crew not only built Shengyang’s house, but also built a room in the opposite building, so that when shooting night scenes, they can put some lights in the opposite room, or the noisy background sound of the TV , to create a breath of life and set off a real sense of atmosphere.

The messy advertisements in the corridor, the rusty stains on Shengyang's bed, and even the warped walls were all made bit by bit by the prop team. Xiao Zhan came to Shengyang's room for the first time. Looking at the basketball posters and paintings all over the wall, it became clear that Shengyang liked basketball and painting. During the break between shooting, Xiao Zhan drew some paintings by himself. When Sheng Yang was happy, he also added the "air shooting" action.

"The fit between the character and the actor is very high, which is helpful to the actor's performance. First of all, Xiao Zhan is confident when he sits in front of the computer. When he opens those design-related software, there is not one he can't use. In this way I can just shoot at his hands and the screen, that kind of focus on work does not require acting, and the sense of reality comes out all at once."

When filming, the director is also worried that if the environment creates a strong sense of stage, the actors will enter a state of acting that is out of style. So in terms of reality, "Sunshine by My Side" put a lot of effort into it: for the subway scenes, we actually went to the subway to shoot them; we also restored the details of the parts at home; when we went to work at the company, we turned on the computer and saw the design works on the computer."It is this complete sense of reality that can give actors the greatest sense of immersion and security."

Here is my recap of the Chris Colfer episode.

Live taping of Snixxmas.

Chris was the first person Kevin met.

A family friend put Chris in touch with an agent after seeing Chris in a community theater show.

He started auditioning as a freshman in high school.

His first audition was for That’s So Raven.

His parents would drive him to his auditions.

Chris wrote a spin-off script for Kurt.

JACK nights were nights Jenna, Amber, Chris, and Kevin would party together.

Several casting things would not stand today. Getting rid of a character of color for Chris’s pasty ass and Kevin playing a disabled character.

Chris was terrified after reading the script. A family member asked if he was going to do this and told him it would ruin his life.

He is grateful for the role because it forced him to be honest with himself.

He was told not to play gay characters. That it would ruin his career.

The cast would have sleepovers every weekend. Chris scared Kevin because I’d his night terrors.

Chris and Jenna apartment hunted. Chris had to have a washer and dryer in his apartment. The idea of a laundromat scared him.

Jenna had a crush on Kevin early on. Chris put a picture of Kevin in Jenna’s underwear drawer.

They talked about the Heartstoppers fiasco. Chris wanted to reach out. He basically went through the same thing during glee.

Coming out publicly puts your career and safety at risk. There is still a lot of homophobia in the industry. Forcing someone to come out is the cruelest thing you could do.

There wasn’t much support when Chris came out. He was told it was obvious and what did he expect.

Chris and Chelsea Handler planned the interview where he came out.

People were furious when Chris did an interview and wouldn’t talk about his sexuality.

The Chelsea Handler was worth it for him when he got feedback from fans.

Felt like he had a responsibility to live the fantasy the show was portraying snd to always be positive.

Sometimes that pressure was suffocating. Had horrible agoraphobia for awhile.

The response to Kurt was overwhelming and even crazier then how the other cast was treated.

Chris resented the that Kevin got to keep things private and wasn’t out publicly. It was hard for Chris to go on dates or have a private life.

Chris went on his first date when he was 20 and skipped the Grammys.

Kevin envied Chris for being open and out publicly until he saw all the shit that Chris went through.

Kevin got mixed messages from the execs at glee. Some told him to come out and others told him to never come out.

Chris was told to get a fake girlfriend.

Jenna was Kevin’s fake girlfriend.

Mike was a dream to work with and Chris loved everything they got to do together. That relationship was the best part of the show.

Chris was furious when he read the script and saw Burt accepted Kurt. He joked it was supposed to be his Emmy moment.

Chris kind of resents the stuff between Kurt and Blaine because it was all a fairytale. It wasn’t as realistic as the Burt and Kurt stuff.

Writing TLOS was therapeutic for Chris.

Chris’s least favorite song to do was Umbrella, Ben, and Turkey Lurkey.

Had been working for years to get a Scissor Sisters song.

The worst song to shoot was Thriller. It took a month to film because the filming dates kept getting changed.

Chris sat in his trailer with Dot and Romy and watched the parent trap while everyone was outside filming and freezing.

Requesting songs always backfired.

They talked about the Golden Globes.

Night Terrors is a good name for a podcast.

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

I've got a couple!

There's the classic Hollywood AU that was born out of my immense love of classic Hollywood (Eartha Kitt is my forever favorite), 1950s pop music (Ella Fitzgerald you will always be famous), and just my overall fascination with pop culture from the 1940s to the 1960s (I love reading about queer relationships from that time, they were like an open secret)

It's inspired by Ryan Murphy's Hollywood and more specifically, the relationship between Archie and Rock.

It would feature TK as an up and coming actor, think James Dean but not as sad. He's someone who loves acting but hates fame and hates that he's stuck doing bad movies just because they make the most money. Carlos would be a screenwriter going by Carl Reynolds to give the impression to the executives that he's white so they would consider his script in the first place.

Long story short, Carlos' movie is the first script that TK loves in a long time and he wants to work close with the scriptwriter to "pick his brain" about it. They end up falling in love behind the scenes after learning they have more in common than they thought.

Judd would be a country film star that's dating blues singer Grace and TK would have a beard named Mary who's actually his co-star and it would be a whole thing.

My other AU is a 1970s rock band AU in which TK is the lead singer of a rock band, and Carlos is a chicano rock singer who's been tasked with opening for TK's band on his upcoming tour. Carlos hates the idea, but his label says it's the best way for his career to take off.

Basically, I listened to The Chain by Fleetwood Mac a little too much and thought huh, what if Carlos and TK had a fling while they were on tour born out of nothing but the rockstar lifestyle and everlasting tension.

Don't know if either of these will ever reach fruition, but isn't it fun to think so?

ask me about my wips

[greatcheshire]

How would you rank your vids based on how much you like them?

Ah yes!! I can answer this one

The Many Adaptations of Berserk: I feel like it has to be this one as my fav. There’s parts of the video I wish I could redo (mainly the audio), but to put out such labor of love and have it receive such a positive response back, it’s so fulfilling. From people telling me it got them into Berserk to survivors messaging me to tell me how much the video meant to them. It’s a sense of pride and accomplishment that I never thought I’d ever feel with my art.

Spider-Man Musical: This, for me, feels like the prime example of what I want my channel to be: exploring relatively obscure things in a way that shows how strange they are while also taking it seriously and really examining them. As someone who has been fascinated with this musical for over a decade, finally finding a way to make an essay about it and letting people know about things like the spider fucking and the shoe song.

Dollar Store Game Show: I wish I could redo the audio here. God I wish I could redo the audio here. That being said, I’ve always seen this as the hidden gem of my channel, and whenever I talk to other creators, chances are this is the video of mine they bring up. The Facebook conspiracy “In Motion” part might be my favorite editing gag I’ve ever done

Demo Reel: I would’ve ranked this much lower if I hadn’t rewatched it a few weeks ago for the new Demo Reel vid. Despite some first time video mistakes that I would happily fix if I could, I think the script here is really solid and could have been way worse. I get why people like this one so much. I probably would’ve been really into this video if I wasn’t the one who made it. I still can’t believe I actually got away with the Evangelion intro gag.

Kitchen Nightmares: I started outlining this video back in my college days. I rewatched it about a month ago and my main note is that it feels like a video anyone could’ve made on Kitchen Nightmares, for better or for worse, and lacks a lot of the… personal energy I like to include in these things? But I still think it’s pretty solid. I also meant to include an entire segment on Nathan For You and just… forgot to lmao oops

The Return of Demo Reel: This one is still so new that I haven’t fully processed my feelings on it. This is probably the meanest video I’ve done so far lol I wasn’t sure how much the two halves would connect together, especially since it’s the only video I’ve done so far that isn’t broken up into segments but is rather scripted as one long thing. The stinger is my second favorite stinger I’ve ever done for the channel. I’m so glad that landed for people as I almost cut it entirely lol

The Cinemassacre Backlash: It feels weird to rank this one so low. I still am proud of the result, but I also think it has the same issue as Kitchen Nightmares where it’s like oh, anyone could’ve made that. I did like getting to interject my perspective into the discourse as someone who co-writes and makes online content and I have gotten a lot of praise for this one by my peers which has been nice. Having it blow up so much was wild and has definitely been a career benefit, even if I’m unsure if I’ll ever do a video like this again

Harley and Ivy: I don’t know why but I can’t help but feel like I could’ve made this one better. I’m not sure how, but it just feels like it exists to me. I actually didn’t even remember that I did the whole thing with the Be Gay, Do Crime scale until I saw it referenced on my TV Tropes page

Lost Film About Internet Memes: This one is fine but it sits in a lower place in my head for a lot of reasons. First being that a lot of personal life stuff surrounding the release and aftermath of the video. Second being my hatred of the original thumbnail and the belief that it tanked that video in a way it’s only now recovering from, which affected future business dealings and negotiations and algorithm stuff. Then the fact that this is the only time I’ve regretted going soft in one of my videos. I originally put more stuff in the script about how I believed the guy who made it was a grifter who seems to do a lot of scams but I changed it to make it more subtext and less of a personal attack and then in the aftermath of the vid it turns out, oops, this guy had a history of screwing people over and grifting and jumped into cryptocurrency because of course he did. I don’t think I’d ever revisit this subject, but if I had a time machine, I would’ve had way more testimonials in the vid from former PopMalt people.

Existential Horror Of Making Content About Content: The nicest thing I can say about this one is that it was the first time I ever made a thumbnail myself and I’m actually pleased with how it turned out, all things considered. Otherwise I can’t see myself ever watching this again

I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m too harsh on my own work lol I just have a unique relationship to it, I think. I’m generally proud of my videos, even if I do have issues with them as their creator.

OC Interview (Tag Game) II

Thanks @lexiklecksi for tagging me here! This time, I'm going for Iodine, the heroine of the similarly titled book.

Are you named after anyone?

Uh...no? I mean, after the element, yeah. Somebody noticed a tint of purple in my eye and decided to call me that. Strange name, isn't it?

When was the last time you cried?

I think when I graduated high school, just because I was going to miss everybody and that we're all going our separate ways. Don't tell anybody, could you promise me that?

Do you have kids?

Don't you think it's a bit odd of you to ask that?

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

More often than you think. :)

What's the first thing you notice about people?

I don't know how, or why, but the first thing I notice is if somebody wants something from me. The people in my family are a bit closed off, and so I expect something which says, "we're here to get you for something". And it's usually bad.

What's your eye colour?

Purple, with a little bit of hazel intermingled with the, I guess? Or is it vice versa? I don't really know, but they're multifaceted. I know, right? It really depends on where the light hits.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Give me all the scary movies! But nothing related to gore and what not. Just ones which like to trick your mind a little bit.

Any special talents?

I can make a good falafel. And can beat somebody in chess while under the influence. And know when a bomb is about to go off and how to detonate them. I also have a few more, but that's not suitable for work here.

Where were you born?

I was always in Seattle; I was born in the South Lake Union neighborhood, then moved the University District a few years ago.

Do you have any pets?

Does a pet boy count? (laughs)

What sort of sports do you play?

I'm sorry, but I don't really do sports. I tried doing volleyball in high school and got cut within a week. It's not like that they needed me anyways...

That said, I enjoy racing with my scooter, though that's a bit hard to do these days. The streets could get quite slick in the winter!

How tall are you?

About 5'7''.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Drama, because we got to learn about stagecraft and do improv games and the like. I never saw it as a potential career route, but I always found a happy place reading scripts and trying to audition for plays. It's a little spring of joy.

What is your dream job?

I thought of becoming a librarian; I like books and I like helping people out with finding something. Though i want to do something which challenges my mind--nothing related to drugs, of course!

How about you @andromedaexists, @memento-morri-writes, @dontjudgemeimawriter?

[ddarker-dreams]

⚒️ ❌ 📚?

[ask game]

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

i always write in google docs since it's what i'm the most familiar with. i'll also slap what i'm writing into grammarly to catch any glaring grammar/spelling mistakes my eyes may have missed. it doesn't catch everything, but it's pointed out enough silly mistakes that i'm grateful for it .

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

there are two big no-nos for me personally, and that is anything to do with cheating and animal hybrid stuff. i have no problem with people who enjoy these things, it just isn't for me! the reason for the former is probably obvious. if i'm reading a fanfic i want the character to be madly in love with me . no ifs or buts. as for the latter, i actually have no idea why i'm so put off by animal hybrid stuff. it doesn't have to be inherently sexual either. i just see a character with cat ears/a tail or whatever and immediately lose interest.

📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?

i actually planned to me a scriptwriter when i was in high school! i used to read the script to my favorite movies so i could see what nuance was hidden away. the more i thought about it though, the more i worried i'd lose my passion for writing if i made it my sole source of income. that, and a crippling fear i'd never be able to write anything above PG if my family were to know about it 😭

[gacmediadaily]

Actress, screenwriter, and producer Ansley Gordon chatted about her latest acting projects.

‘The Abigail Mysteries’

Gordon starred in “The Abigail Mysteries” opposite Emmy nominee Bret Green, which aired on Pure Flix and Great American Family. “It was great. This was my favorite film experience I’ve had,” she admitted. “It was my first time producing, which I really like. I’ve known Bret Green for over a decade.”

‘Designing Christmas With You’

Gordon wrote the screenplay for “Designing Christmas With You,” which airs tonight on Great American Family. “I just want the viewers to feel good when they watch it,” she said. “Similar to drinking a cup of hot cocoa or hot tea It’s a cozy, fun, and sweet little story.”

The synopsis is: With her career on the line, a decorator (Susie Abromeit) must work with an unexpected partner to showcase a house for an upcoming Christmas GALA. “It is really sweet, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s a more traditional rom-com that features a lot of family values and it is more about the relationships rather than the hijinks,” she said.

‘Romance at the Vineyard’

“Romance at the Vineyard” stars Susie Abromeit and Tim Ross in the leading roles as Allee and Ethan respectively. Cameron Robbie also stars as Nick.

The synopsis of this original movie is: When it looks as though Allee’s family vineyard, Merado, is at stake, she is forced to pair with a new friend in an effort to avoid selling the property. What she doesn’t know is that her newfound partner works for the corporate wine chain aiming to buy the property.

On writing the script for “Romance at the Vineyard,” she said, “That was very poignant and special. It was my first time working with Steve Jaggi in Australia, and he become one of my favorite producers to work with.”

The digital age

She opened up about being an actor and filmmaker in the digital age. “I struggle with it,” she admitted. “Social media is really tough for me because I am a really private person but I also want to promote projects.”

“I struggle with how much to share and how much to post, but I love getting to connect with people, especially when the new movies come out. That’s one of my favorite parts of my job. I love the Great American Family fans and viewers because they always make the movies trend,” she elaborated.

“Great American Family has welcomed me with open arms and it just felt more like a family,” she added.

On her plans for the future, she foreshadowed, “We have some things up our sleeves for 2024.”

Dream collaboration choices

On her dream collaboration choices in the entertainment industry, she listed Danica McKellar, Candace Cameron Bure, Marshall Williams, and Daniel Lissing. “Candace is a powerhouse, and I would love to collaborate with her as a producer, and learn from her behind-the-scenes,” she said. “I would love to do a crossover film with Danica.”

‘A Christmas Frequency’

Gordon also discussed doing the rom-com “A Christmas Frequency,” where she worked with Jonathan Stoddard, Denise Richards, and James Hyde. “I love James…I want to cast James in everything that I do. He is just amazing and he gives the best compliments. James has the best energy and the best light,” she said.

Stage of her life

On the title of the current chapter of her life, she revealed, “Creation and Abundance.”

Superpower of choice

If she were to have any superpower, it would be “time travel.” “As a writer, I would like to be able to go back and experience what things were like 50, 75, or 100 years ago. I would love that,” she said.

Success

On her definition of the word success, Gordon said, “Success means having the freedom to live, do, and create.”

[bumbleblurr]

LITERALLY THO like i hate how tfa bumblebee is reduced to a “so random! 😝🤪” only silly idiot prankster kinda guy when like. He’s smart! He’s caring! Yes he can be silly and yes he can be a bit reckless but he loves his friends and he can figure out how to care for them (like where he and bulk are comforting sari 🥺) and also figure out the best strategy to defeat whatever villain of the week is there! TFA bee means so much to me and i am also so excited for earthspark. Continuities where bumblebee is not the kid appeal character my beloves

LICHERALLY !!!! Like I love Bumblebees silly fun nature thats why he's one of my favorites ever, BUT IT DOESNT MEAN he can't be more than that.

Tfa in particular bothers me bc like. It's my fav bumblebee bc he has more bite and spunk (due to being based more on hot shot), but then. They never. Truly take him as seriously as other characters (except maybe bulk but that's bc hes also not taken seriously,)

which is so absurd bc he has some Legit shit going on with him that should fuck him up!! His whole career, his dreams, got flushed down the toilet bc he was unfortunate to have an instructor that doesn't like him and doesn't give him a chance (except when he did 1 singular time and then he immediately sent him to space repair duty for doing the noble thing and taking the fall for bulkhead)

And he doesn't get over this. He is still depressed about it when he says to Longarm "at least one of us achieved their dreams" in like the saddest tone ever (I think it's literally the saddest line delivery bee gives in the entire show) and he talks abt how no one believed he would amount to anything in the trial of megs script reading.

I'd argue his general behavior reflects this too (though idk how intentional it was), bc hes always like attention seeking- approval seeking. He wants to appear to Earth like he's a hero so he can feel successful (and that still went down the drain bc the humans started hating the autobots later)

But do they ever take time to address this issue and sympathize with him? No <3 instead they act like bee has no issues at all, to the point it's like "wasp is suffering so much, bumblebee wtf is wrong with you. YOU CANNOT RELATE TO LOSING EVERYTHING you just can't. nothing bad has ever happened to you. Go play videogames you stupid motherfucker" not that wasp isn't suffering but cmon. don't act like bee didnt have his entire career fucked over like it's not a serious thing

Not to mention as you said he has multitudes to him, he's caring and compassionate! He's quick witted and has lots of skill! He's not just a bumbling fool- Sentinel is wrong about that! (His assessment of ppl is not rlly accurate at all btw, he called bulkhead "bulk and no brains" when that guy is literally the leading expert on space bridge tech)

I am rlly excited to see earthspark bee bc its like. I think he's going to have the same kind of wise-cracking spunk tfa bee has BUT he is in a mentor role now. So there's a good chance he won't be reduced to being a silly jokester, bc he has to have some seriousness to teach (and thus the writers will treat him more seriously) also there's already those earth bots that are probably going to fill up that kid appeal role anyway

tldr: I love tfa bee's personality but I think his writing is lacking bc it doesn't take him as seriously as other characters, and I hope earthspark bee takes what's good abt tfa bee but gets better treatment from the writers

K-drama recommendation (part 1?)

Hey there!

oh my god.. How I miss writing in tumblr!

Right now I want to share my favorite K-drama that I’ve watched until now.

Start-up (2020)

yes. this is an old drama. But I am insisting in writing it now because I watched it for the third/fourth time.

I don’t want to write the summary of the drama, because you guys can look for it in wiki. But I want to share what I love about that drama!

the casts! I always love Suzy and Nam joohyuk, and so when I knew they played together in this drama I just couldn’t wait. Their chemistry, their acting, their visual. just wow

the story! You can find anything you want there: comedy, drama, family, romance, career, friendship..

the script! If you read my fanfic that I’ve written in this account, you must know that I love angsty-fluff, with poetic-metaphor- and full of hidden meanings. The words Istg... It’s simple and yet it portrays and adds the emotion to the scene. if I may say, I think it’s the most perfect script I’ve ever watched

Knowledge! just the continuation from the script, i love how this drama also gives us knowledge about start up, business, and AI. It’s fresh

I just love Dosan! many ppl will hate me for this, but I ship dosan and dalmi, not ji pyeong. I love how he decides to help Dalmi, how he falls in love with her immediately, how he feels inferior and not entitled to be with her and yet he wants to (isn’t it the most humane thing?), how he tries his best to be the best for her and makes her dream come true, how he shows his admiration and love in little things he does for her, how heartbroken he looks when he come back to seoul, ARRGH it’s just how it’s not love?

“follow your dream: and my dream is you”. okay, when I write this I just feel dejavu. I think I wrote almost the same thing when I reviewed Go go squid: DT.Appledog’s time. LMAO, maybe I am that hopeless romantic and a love story like this is my favorite. DOSAN’S LOVE IS THAT PURE Y”ALL (cries)

I watched many titles for more than 1 time, and I usually laughs whenever I watched them, even though I know the story. But this drama, that angsty-fluff feeling always hurt my little heart, and not all those drama capable to do it, and I even watched this drama with 1.5 to 2.0 speed. Still tugging my heartstrings

Overall it’s a perfect drama. with realistic topic, pure love, greaaattt script, great chemistry.

9.95/10 - definitely will watch again for the nth times

*p.s. 0.05 point is deducted because how can a coding technician be as buff and handsome as Dosan LOL

[daincrediblegg]

movie buff questions: any number with a 6 in it. <3

6. Favorite movie from the 90’s? Literally the first one I thought of was Hocus Pocus. So I'm going with that. It's goddamn incredible anyway.

16. Ever watched a movie just because you heard the effects were awesome? YES! Dawn of the Planet of The Apes. saw it in theaters like 10 times throughout the summer after graduating high school bc the theater was right down the block. shit is insane.

26. Best experience going to the movies Honestly the most recent was Everything Everywhere All At Once. My first viewing was on opening week and that was a PHENOMENAL audience to be a part of- especially recently. Also I will never forget the energy that was in the theater after The Grand Budapest Hotel. shit was awesome.

36. Movie quote you live by? lmao it's not from a movie but for years I had this quote up on my facebook page from Westworld "You can't play God without being aquainted with the Devil". Facts man. Thanks A-Hop.

46. Favorite cop film? Gonna go with Fargo on this one I think. Feels right.

56. Movie you completely nerd-out over every time it’s mentioned? Lord of the Rings. You will always get me with Lord of the Rings. No question. No doubt. I have so many lotr related facts and anecdotes and prop replicas.

60. Most visually stunning movie you’ve seen? God I can't choose. I really can't. so many movies are too beautiful I cannot pick just one. help me god.... OK 1917. that bitch has so much going for it.

61. A movie your parents introduced you to? lmao so many. kudos to them tho for taking me to Spirited Away at the ripe old age of baby.

62. Favorite genre? Gothic (clearly- and it's not the same as horror writ. large- there's a difference, even though many horror films overlap with gothic films as well and the whole horror genre literally owes everything to Gothic fiction but I digress)- also because there's lots of elements that go into gothic from other genres like romance and comedy that people tend to forget about- and I'll always take a good genre mix any day over just... one plain old thing? I like a Genre Ensemble if you will and Gothic covers that the best I think.

63. Least favorite genre? Hallmark Rom-coms. sitcoms in general. or reality tv shit or documentaries (lotta people say they're "unbiased" but the nature of perspective and subjectivity in film is bias. never as fully informative of facts as they purport to be and I can't stand the fuckin things. boring as sin).

64. Comedy movie that you didn’t find funny? First one I thought of was Bridesmaids. Deadass. I don't think a lot of mainstream comedies do humor very well anyway. Also fucking anything written by James Gunn that man literally only knows how to write one movie and it was guardians of the galaxy vol. 1 and literally everything he's done since has been copy-pasted from that script (and especially suicide squad. hate that move so much forever and always what a piece of shit).

65. Horror movie that didn’t scare you? Most don't??? not that bad anyway. Fucking M3gan was literally the most unscary shit I've ever seen recently tho. but then again I grew up on Child's Play like I'm immune to freaky doll shit.

66. Favorite remake of an old movie? ok but dicks out for the planet of the apes remakes. I'm so serious. Andy Serkis put his whole pussy into that monkey.

67. A movie that started a passion for you? um... this is kindof a hard question to answer because movies/shows made me want to persue writing/directing as a career. There have been a lot of them, and the more I see the more I want to do it, so the list is ongoing, but LOTR and Joker 2019 are the two biggest contributors that I can think of off the top of my head. LOTR bonus features are what I lived for and got me passionate about the actual filmmaking process and special effects and stuff, Joker is the one that solidified for me the career choice.

68. A movie that sparked an interesting conversation? in my household The Godfather will never not be the film that sparks interesting conversations- bc my dad worked with a guy that was up for the part of sollazzo, and he was on the books and getting payed and everything when Marlon Brando requested that a guy he knew play the part instead, so he got the boot. BUT!! since he was on the books there was a term in his contract that he get residuals anyway- and so he still does. he was at my parent's wedding and everything. crazy shit.

69. The main movie you remember from your childhood? my childhood was filled with them. Can't be specific about this one I'm afraid. Just trust me. Many.

MOVIE BUFF ASKS

♠ 1st(?) random Q&A with Suki

Some random personal info I have previously said in posts or I just want to let you know now:

♠ I'm 173cm tall

♠ My mother tongue is Spanish, and I'm (sort of) learning Japanese

♠ I play both versions of the game (JP and GL)

♠ Originally, I didn't care for characters/story and just wanted to play rythym game

♠ In terms of creative stuff I do, drawing would be main and writing would be sub

zero-intoner asked: "How long have you been writing and what got you into writing?"

I scripted and drew my first serious comic for class work about 4 years ago. But it's not like I regularly write, it only comes out when I need a script for a comic, and I usually have a hard time writing, which is actually one of the reasons I decided to start this blog: to get better at writing.

About what got me into writing, don't know. Probably a collateral damage from wanting to make comics

Anonymous asked: "WAIT COULD I ASK.. DO U LIKE KANADE X EMU AS A FRIENDSHIP ALSO PLS CAN U TELL ME MORE ABT AIRI SND AKITO LMAO I WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUD THINK OF THEIR DUYNAMIC"

For context, anon is referering to this post:

If Kanade and Emu have ever interacted in game, either I can't remember or I haven't seen it. I think they might be too different and don't have enough in common to bond over anything.

As for Airi and Akito, it's safe to asume that they originally met for Ena, and at some point they might have bonded over their mutual worry for her. It's also clear that they respect each other. I'm speaking from memory, but there was this interaction in which Airi requests Akito to watch over Ena. There is also some instances where Akito tells Ena to not to bother Airi so much, and an area convo with Akito and Airi in which he apologizes for "the way Ena usually behaves" to what Airi tells him not to worry. Airi also notes to herself here that Akito is a good little brother. I'm just rambling at this point lol. Basically, I guess I like that, despite they are not that close, they are able to understand each other enough to have mutual respect.

zero-intoner asked: "Who's your favorite character to write for? Which character do you relate to the most?"

I would like to say it's hard to choose just one, but evidence shows it's Mafuyu. I also enjoy writing Shizuku a lot lol. I have had some writing sprees for Nene, Haruka and Honami so it usually depends on my mood, too

As for the character I relate the most it's prooobably... Mizuki. I've stuggled in the past with the fear of being left behind and not worthy of having friends. But, personality wise, I guess the closest one would be Toya

prsk-krow asked: "HeyaHeya! I was actually curious about something, and I wanted to ask!! Who is your favorite N25 character, and why is it Mizuki? (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠) I mean, I'm just guessing, but-"

I actually never could choose between Mizuki and Mafuyu. Sometimes is more Mizuki, sometimes is more Mafuyu, but they are both always there. But if I had to choose, gun pointing at me, I think I might choose Mafuyu because aesthetically wise, is a little more my thing.

Anonymous asked: "This is just for the q&a but if you were to add any one member to each group who would it be and why? Like why would you add emu to mmj or honami to wxs and so on."

I'm guessing you mean adding to the current member, without replacing anyone. Mmmm, I can say a little of my thoughts, but very disorganized.

For example, in Nigo I could see people like Rui, Haruka, Toya or even Honami, if their stories had another circumstances

In Wandasho, somehow Mafuyu and Akito could fit with their "good personas". Probably Airi since she seems good with a crowd. I feel like Mizuki could have fun here making costumes, too.

In MMJ, Kanade would be just so funny, zero stamina idol lol. An kind of has that idol aura that might just work (these two both were already in April's fools YUME YUME JUMP, so). Also, Tsukasa idol career when, he could fit so well here. Saki maybe too, siblings idols(?

In VBS it's kind of hard, but I think Ena could scream from the bottom of her heart here (in songs(?) Shiho kind of fits in street music, I think (? Nene might find use in this for getting over her social problem, and she would be also singing, but not "musical style". Ichika could also do well here, probably

And finally, Leoni, Kohane and Minori could do well in "just some friends vibing" same as Shizuku. Emu is very friendly, so why not

(I ended up making whole new groups of 4 lol but hopefully that answers your question, kinda?)

ootokone asked: "do you have any hobbies? what are they and how did you get into them? "

As said before, I also draw and it's probably my main hobby ( I guess it count's as a job too since I'm on a team as concept/2D/UI artist, yeah all in one, we are a small team). I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, but probably anime got me into taking it a more seriously (Naruto lol)

I also play videogames on a regular basis. I have also played games for as long as I can remember. I'm kind of hooked to OW2 right now but I play many kinds of games. Like, not long ago I was hooked to Puroseka and Elden Ring simultaneously, which I guess sums up my variety of games quite well (I had to drop Elden Ring because my poor 6 year old computer can't take *redacted*'s boss fight. Quite sad. Hopefully I can finish it properly when I get a new PC in the future ;v;)

As for more hobbies... I guess I like gardening, if that can be considered a hobby. I just bought two new plants today, one of them being peppermint because I love its smell. I have always liked nature but never got around on taking care of my own plants until about 2 years ago

Anonymous asked: "a question for your Q&A :)! are you more of an extrovert, ambivert or introvert?"

Oh, definitely an introvert lol. I'm an INTJ-A in mbti, if someone is interested in that.

Also noteworthy, while the other letters are at like a 60-70% the introvert one is at 99% lol so yeah,

Anonymous asked: "if u like emunene do you think if they both cuddle would emu be big spoon or would she be little spoon? and do you think nene would be big spoon or little spoon"

I think they'll be both switches, but it usually goes with Nene little spoon, Emu big spoon because Emu would be usually the one initiating physical touch/affection

One last thing! I wanted to thank everyone for the support on this blog! Really makes me happy that people consider my writing worthy of reading. I'll try to keep this blog up for as long as I can, but my writing sprees are very weird lol

[starsthatlinethesky]

Just saw your post! So here are some asks for you

1) what made you start writing fan fiction

2) all time favorite foods?

3) what career/ job do you want to be?

4) what was your first fandom you were in?

Hey, thank you so much for the ask!!!

1.) I started writing fanfiction, well firstly because it was a creative outlet for me. I was actually writing fanfiction before I really knew what it was, and then I posted my first fic to Wattpad when I was like eleven (It was very bad and was certainly cringey) but I was surprised by the comments that told me that they loved my story and that people we're literally waiting to see what I posted next. I got a comment on that story, that told me that my story had filled them with so much joy and that it had pulled them through a rough patch. Every time I've written a fic after that, I've always thought that although not everyone was going to like it, it might make one person happy and that was good enough for me. I love to write, and if my writing could at the very least make one person happy, I owe it to that one person to write that story.

2.) I absolutely love curries (My favourite is massaman), and I also love spaghetti but specifically my family spaghetti, we have a family recipe from my great grandma, and I know when we have that the whole families going to come over (I'm very close with my family) so I always associate the spaghetti with big family nights. In terms of sweets, I love vanilla ice cream with apple pie, and I love cheesecakes. But my favourite dessert is The Christmas ice-cream me and my mum make every year, we make enough to pretty much get us through the whole summer.

3.) I want to be an English/Drama teacher! I've always been someone who loves school, even when I'm struggling with content because I love being able to learn. This might sound silly, but one of my biggest inspirations in life is my drama teacher, he's always encouraging us to try our best and he was one of the first people to support my writing. I would write screenplays for the drama class, and one of my favourite things I've ever written was a horror piece, I was told by a lot of people when I showed them that script that it wasn't really the type of thing a teenage girl should write and that I should change a lot of things in it so that it was more of a love story. So, I took my script to him and asked him to read through it, I expected him to flick through the pages and say what everyone else said, but he read the whole thing start to finish and told me that he thought that it was brilliant and that he could tell that I was the one who wrote it, I mentioned what other people ha said about the script, and he said "Well then it's not really your story, if you want to write a love story then you can write a love story, but I know how much you wanted to write this story and I'm proud that you wrote it." I would later win a school award for my script and mini performance of it. So, I want to be a teacher, so that I can be the person who encourages other kids like me to write the stories and perform the plays they want. I want to be someone who can encourage people to create, I want to be able to support people the way that my teacher has supported me.

4.) My first fandom that I can recall. would probably be the dsmp, I never really posted to much about it but it was one of the first things I filled my notebook with ideas for fics. I'm also and still am a fan of stars align, which is what I posted my first ao3 fics about. I orphaned some of them though, but a majority of them were about one ship Taiyou Ishigami and Nao Tsukinose, but I'm glad that i orphaned them and didn't delete the because I can still look back at them and see how much I've grown with my writing from them.

Once again thank you so much for the ask!!! And i hope my answers satisfied you :)
