Nobody asked me for my opinion on the controversy that dropped today when the Sonic Movie cast pay rate was revealed, which is fair ig since I try to stay positive on this blog. But in case you're wondering, yeah as a certified AFAB™ I'm pissed, but not really specifically at the Sonic crew. Actor pay rates are usually negotiated between agents and the production companies so just like all the other problems with the Sonic movies, this is most likely an issue with Paramount and their patented dumbfuckery. Disclaimer that obviously it could very well be a Sonic crew issue as well, obviously I don't know the inner workings of the entire film production.
Also, if you're mad about this: please be mad about the pay gap that has been going on as long as Hollywood has been alive. This isn't a problem unique to the SCU. I know the phrase "pay gap" is thrown around a whole lot but do you guys actually know how big an issue it is?
Recent percentages are that male and female actors have "a wage difference of about 25 percent," with an estimated difference of $1-2million between star-power men and star-power women.[x][x] Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone said she made $500k to Michael Douglas's $14mil– and when she was asked to be lead in a film being made in ~2022, the lead male, who was "new", was going to be paid $8-9mil, with her salary still at $500k. Last December, Biggest Monopoly In The World Disney was sued by 9,000 women over their pay gap.
This article is from 2019 but brings up some big fucking pay gaps between leads– for instance, Gillian Anderson was offered half of what David Duchovny was for the X-Files reboot as one of the two main fucking characters, Amanda Seyfried has disclosed she made 10% of what her male co-star made on an undisclosed film, Natalie Portman made 1/3 of the salary of Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached, and Ellen Pompeo, the titular character of Grey's Anatomy, was paid less than the actor playing her love interest, Patrick Dempsey. In fact, Dempsey was being paid almost double what she was.
However, BIG issue with the 2019 article: it only focuses on what White actors are being paid. Research shows that Black actresses make 57 cents to every dollar white actors make on a good day. Viola Davis, one of the most popular and talented actresses of our generation, has said that black women "get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I'm number one on the call sheet." Octavia Spencer had to collaborate with Jessica Chastain to make sure they both got paid the same amount of money on a film they both worked on, and revealed that her new salary increased 500% afterwards.
At the end of last year, while promo-ing The Color Purple, Taraji P. Henson broke into tears while talking about how little she's being paid when compared to her white and male contemporaries. And when she talked about the gap, I find it so fucking frustrating that the general audience response was to immediately blame the only Black female producer on the film. I have a million gripes with Oprah Winfrey but TCP cast has said that she herself managed to fix a lot of the problems on set and was nothing but supportive to them. Oh, and there were a lot of problems on set, including a lack of food and dressing space for the main actors. And this is all from celebrity women. Just think about how Hollywood is treating women who don't have the star power to speak up.
Of course this isn't even a problem solo to Hollywood, let alone Paramount, let alone just one movie. And honestly it was probably really sad that when I saw the pay rate for the Sonic 3 cast, I wasn't even surprised, because I've seen worse on bigger projects.
HELLO GANG GANG I redid my Chaos Walking main cast headcannon designs... Wanted to simplify them a bit :P
Lemme... copy and paste the comments I made on em too:
i forgot to put their ages but Todd starts off at 12, turns 13 in the second book, and i think turns 15 or 16 in the third book. Viola starts off at 13, turns 14 in second book, and 15 in third i think.... (doesnt rlly say their ages for the third book ngl). Davy starts off at 14, 15 in second book.,... dies before he could turn 16 probably
also Todd, Davy, and Viola have two outfit designs in the second book. Before promotion Todd and Davy's outfit remain the same to each other minus the tassles and stripe through their sleeves. Viola when she starts bombing wears some of her old clothes from book 1, but wears a blue headband on her head. In the third book she wears it as a scarf, tho it doesnt rlly say i just think it's cool :P
As for the mayor his outfit remains the same, but his eyes are more deep slated blue in the second book and his eyes gradually turn darker to black in the third book
Davy in the second book looks less snarky cuz although he was super snarky and a jerk in the second book,, he becomes more doubtful but also happier cuz he has Todd as a friend and brother but he's also confused abt his relo with his father then he DIESSSS HAHAHUAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH (loudly sobbing)
Congratulations to Viola Davis on completing her EGOT today by receiving a #grammy for her audiobook recording of her bestselling autobiography "Finding Me" https://www.instagram.com/p/CoS-NWlyIHO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi there!! I was wondering if you could help me come up with some fcs for my character’s mother? I don’t have a specific vibe in mind, but she would be in her 40s, 50s, or even older, and would be fully black. Thank you so much in advance!!
sure ! here are some i could see working ! this list got quite long so under the cut you can find 39 black woman faceclaims aged 40 & up ! i hope this helps you out !
Only 1 woman of color has won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress in 95 years. Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball in 2002, 21 years ago. 14 Black women, one child of color have been nominated in 95 years. Numbers don’t lie. 1954- Dorothy Dandridge for Carmen Jones. 1972- Cicely Tyson for Sounder. 1972- Diana Ross for Lady Sings the Blues. 1974- Diahann Carroll for Claudine. 1985- Whoopi Goldberg for The Color Purple. 1993- Angela Bassett for What’s Love Got to Do with It. 2001- Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball. 2009- Gabourey Sidibe for Precious. 2011- Viola Davis for The Help. 2012- Quvenzhane Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild. 2016- Ruth Negga for Loving. 2019- Cynthia Erivo for Harriet. 2020- Andra Day for The United States vs. Billie Holliday. 2020- Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The fact, Chinonye Chukwu’s beautifully made, historically relevant and important film, Till and The Woman King got no nominations speaks volumes. Till about a mother whose horrific loss sparked the civil rights movement. Representation matters, and the Academy failed again to recognize powerful Black female lead films with uncomfortable truths. #oscars2023 #lackofrepresentation #till #chinonyechukwu #dorothydandridge #carmenjones #cicelytyson #sounder #dianaross #ladysingstheblues #diahanncarroll #claudine #whoopigoldberg #thecolorpurple #angelabassett #whatslovegottodowithit #halleberry @halleberry #gaboureysidibe #precious @violadavis #violadavis #quvenzhanéwallis #beastsofthesouthernwild @iamquvenzhane #ruthnegga #loving #cynthiaerivo @cynthiaerivo #harriet #andraday #theusvsbillieholiday #violadavis #maraineysblackbottom #danielledeadwylersnubbed https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2BYEru8Jw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
