Those people who constantly reblog your stuff but you never really talk:

Very glad smosh cast/crew are okay. hope that continues to be the case, and that everyone takes all the time they need to regroup from this.

Ended up pulling together a number of links from ones people (including the smosh folks) have been sharing and others ive been seeing over the course of the day, so compiling and posting it both for me to have on hand and in case other folks find it helpful.

@/mutualaidla on instagram has a number of resources if you either would like to give to local mutual aid efforts or are in need of any. This post compiles screenshots of resources from their story today. It includes places to give resources, places to get resources, where to get info/alerts if youre near the area, shelters, etc. This post by LocaleMagazine, similarly, compiles resources/information to get help/give help.

The LA Times, The Cut, and Time all have articles/instagram posts compiling ways for folks outside to help. (LA Insta post, the Cut article, the Time article).

For folks whose homes have been impacted, or know anyone whose homes have been impacted, this post from the LA Times outlines some steps that can be taken.

For information about go bags, staying up to date on alerts, evacuation tips, etc lafd.org can be used for alerts. readyla.county.gov can be used for text alerts, as well as information about what to pack in go bags/evacuation tips. For apps, both WatchDuty and the NWS (National Weather Service) app appear to be widely used atm.

Laatly, this post from Ify + the exploitative nature of the US carceral system, as firefighters risk their lives is. good to keep in mind.

Here's an anecdote I would like to share here...(Whether that's relevant to Shiguang you decide after reading it)

So once in a sns I did an anonymous post on how I want a best friend in my life. My conversation with an anon went like this(paraphrased)

Anon : what is a "meaningful friendship" to you?

Me : I kind of long for a "kindred spirits" kind of bond. I wish somebody would accompany on my life's journey, share an intellectual and emotional experience . Platonically, of course.

Anon : That makes sense . Though I fail to see why it would have to be platonic . What you describe is, I think, the ideal of marriage for most people.

And...with that I think shiguang's "why can't they just be best friends?" Argument ends there. Even an anon can see that my desires, when not outright romantic, can be compared to an ideal of marriage .

Idk if that doesn't represent Shiguang more than it can. They are committed to each other. Whether they are romantically or sexually involved??

Doesn't fucking matter.

I rest my case.

As someone who's new to vintage movies, please let your followers give me vintage lgbtq+ movie recommendations (because I've seen there are old movies like that around) 👀🙏

Sure! If anyone wants to drop vintage lgbtq+ movies in the replies, go ahead. (As admin, I'm barred from recs until the tournament is over.) As I've discussed before, old movies worked with different norms, languages, and presentations than we expect today, for good or for bad—so while you probably won't find movies that frame queerness the same way a modern movie would, you will still find many vintage movies that play with gender and sexuality, some of which today read (or were intended all along to be!) very queer indeed.

Well alright, he thinks, resigned. He can do that much. Or: Han Yoojin runs away to the middle of nowhere and tries to start over

Sephiroth returns to Gaia to find that Cloud has been taken from him. The home they had built together has been destroyed, and it is not difficult to figure out who is responsible.

By the time he finds Cloud, it is already too late. Tainted by mako—the planet's blood—Cloud will die unless Sephiroth intervenes.

For Cloud to live, Gaia must perish. This, Sephiroth takes no issue with. As a god, he will share every part of himself with Cloud in order to save him.

plssss....i need ur thoughts on a midsummer night's dream...pleassseeeeeee

(...specifically what r ur thoughts on Demetrius still being under the love potion even at the end...)

(does he truly love Helena???)

it feels serendipitous that you're sending this to me... when i was a strange little lonely 6th grader i hyperfixated on msnd & i still consider that my first fandom ! i used to obsessively draw them at lunch.. they were some of the first fanart i ever made

in my head they're all high schoolers and dysfunctional and deeply in love. lysander wrote hermia love notes in detention & put on a tie when he took her to prom (and she wore dirty sneakers). helena and hermia pierced each other's ears at summer camp when they were small. demetrius is always sending hermia "u up" on snapchat but helena claims that nobody else knows how soft his eyes go in the morning. and demetrius can't stop staring at lysander in the library. and helena drops lysander off at his after-school lifeguarding job and hermia wouldn't tell anyone but she and demetrius hate-kissed under the bleachers AND

Listen, listen! I had too, okay? Look at this and tell me I was wrong to do so! I'm not crazy; you're crazy!

I'm fine and normal, in fact. 

This is your fault.

Also close up below because I deserve to feel proud of this damnit.

Just a headcanon: as we all know, Link's tunic was heavily damaged after he was nearly killed by malice. He decided to wear his tunic as a belt because he was afraid that it would get damaged again and again. But when Zelda finally returned, she decided to repair it because this tunic means a lot for her.

The North Pole in Queens (or Chicago?)

In my tag ramblings on an earlier post, I said that Frederick Cook filmed The Truth About the Pole in Chicago. Robert M. Bryce said the same thing on his website (which is a fantastic resource, by the way).

After doing a little more digging in the contemporary movie magazines, I’m starting to suspect this isn’t correct. Cook, who would shortly make his debut on the New York vaudeville stage, may have looked a little closer to home for a filming location. This article from The Nickelodeon of 11 February 1911 tells how Fred brought his expedition gear to “Flushing, N.J.” for filming:

“N.J.” is a typo. It should say N.Y. Flushing was home to several film studios at this time, including the Gaumont studio mentioned in the article.

Gaumont was a French company, the American branch of which was managed by pioneering filmmaker Alice Guy Blaché and her husband, Herbert Blaché. Later, in her memoirs, Madame Blaché told us exactly what she thought of Fred:

[The Memoirs of Alice Guy Blaché, ed. Anthony Slide, trans. Roberta Blaché and Simone Blaché, p. 79]

Peary truther though she may have been, Madame Blaché would know who was using her studio. She also employed Cook’s manager-director, Wilbert Melville, as an assistant director at the Flushing studio. Perhaps Melville sought permission to use the Gaumont studio because he already had easy access to the space.

Looking at the ads for the film, we see that they first give the North Pole Picture Co. address as Flushing, and then later Chicago. Why the move? It could be that Cook and Melville wanted to have a presence in Chicago in order to more easily do business with theater managers who booked acts in the western half of the country. This is my working theory, but I need to do more research on Fred’s vaudeville appearances outside of New York. We’ll see what turns up. That’s the joy of research – I started with one question, and now I have a dozen more!
