Someone give me that trend of dads shaving off their beards and their kids' reactions to it, except with Sirius and Harry.

how to make that work both professionally and personally.

Can you talk more about this? I'm so curious because yeah, I don't think of how long-term a project is having an impact on what intimacy coordinators do, I'm just thinking of it scene by scene, but that makes sense. But I'd love to know more about what they said about what making it work both professionally and personally means.

And yes it feels like it would be surreal to really adore someone as a close friend and then also passionately make out with them before pretending to murder them and then going to dinner and hanging out. I can also see having that kind of physical intimacy on set creating more closeness more rapidly among people who maybe naturally like each other? Jacob and Sam seem to have such physical comfort with each other, with looking at each other and being in each other's personal space and touching, and HAVING to do all that on set must sometimes speed up that comfort level in real life

(x)

Yeah! She talked quite a bit about her job as being about helping the actors to build a physical language of intimacy between characters, and how with established or long-running relationships, that becomes about creating a foundation that you build off. What that means varies depending on the cast, really, because she says there's not a one-size-fits-all approach to that, and sometimes you dig really deeply, and other times it's more just about making the mechanics of a scene work.

This particular intimacy coordinator had a process where she'd meet with everyone one-on-one first (the relevant actors, director, writer), to work out what people were and weren't comfortable with, and what everyone wanted, and then they'd jump into a space together and workshop in ways that were both broad and specific. Yes, they'd workshop the scene, but she said they also sometimes do a lot of character work to understand how the character is going to respond to intimacy.

She'd been the coordinator on Love Me (a very good Australian show!) and the example she came back to a bit was with working with Hugo Weaving and Heather Mitchell and (hilariously) Emma Freeman as director (Australia is a small industry, haha). In that, Hugo's character had been caring for his very sick wife for many years who passes away right at the start of the series. He's worn down and he's grief struck, but he also hasn't been intimate with anyone in years and years, so when he finds this connection to Heather's character, he's not really sure how to navigate it.

In that, she said a lot of the intimacy coordination became about working out the history of his relationship with his wife, just how touchstarved he was, that vulnerability with having been in a caregiver role for so long that you're no longer sure how to be cared for, and what that means with physical intimacy from gentle touches to kisses to sex.

So she said that was a lot of going back to both Hugo's and Heather's characters' previous relationships and sexual history to build up this understanding of how they might be with each other. This was particularly important with them as Hugo and Heather have worked with each other a lot and are really close in real life, and it was very easy for them to slip out of character in a way that left them feeling pretty vulnerable and exposed as performers. In that sense too, she said that building up these characters histories with one another and apart also becomes about helping the actors to separate themselves from the characters and actually is a means to protect their privacy so that they can watch themselves back and see their characters having sex and not them having sex. She said it's a pretty hard line to manage sometimes, particularly when actors know each other, are friends, or have slept together before (the latter she said can be particularly hard for actors to break out from sometimes), but it's a really important one.

But yeah, she said sometimes it also is just about mechanics too, it really depends on how much intimacy there is in a show, what the creative team wants to do and also how experienced the actors are (interestingly, she said with less experienced actors, her role is usually a lot more about the actor's comfort and helping them work with other departments such as costume with things like cock socks and modesty patches, which more experienced actors are used to, than character work).

Interestingly, a lot of intimacy coordinators in my experience have a history in sex work too (two out of the three on that panel did) and this particular one had actually been a dom / dominatrix, so she talked a lot about how she uses stuff she learnt from scene preparation in supporting actors too.

I don't know if this answers your question, haha, but yeah! It's a pretty interesting space to work in, I think.

Ok so uh I cut my finger somehow? After I got done washing my face I went to open idolm@ster and was looking for what song to play when I caught a glance at my hand and there was this red thing coming out of my middle finger and I was like huh I don't remember eating anything red today AND THEN IT HIT ME THAT I WAS BLEEDING 😭 it was a lot of blood too like a concerning amount so I was like okay maaaybe I should do something about this xD and I went to get a napkin and some cool water from the sink to put pressure on it

(for some reason though the sink wouldn't give cold water?? Only hot and warm--which was weird because the sink usually always gives cold water??? Like I have to wait a while for it to get warmer most of the time but this time it was already warm >:[ THE ONE TIME I NEED IT TO BE COLD OMG and I didn't have TIME to sit there and wait my finger was bleeding!!! So I tried the bath water and the result was the same! LIKE WHYYYY I did get a tiny bit of cool water eventually though)

So now I have this napkin wrapped around my finger and the bleeding has stopped mostly (cold water makes it sting a lil but that's okay) I wish I had a first aid kit or something so I could put something else on it and hopefully keep it from getting infected but unfortunately I don't :( so I gotta to use what I have. I'll probably grab some tape and keep napkin around my cut for the time being. I'm mostly just wondering what cut my finger??? Like all I did was wash my face and after that is when I noticed it. I didn't touch anything sharp to my knowledge and I don't think my nail caused a cut like that so I am very very lost :'D hopefully I'll find the true culprit one day. How dare whatever object did this >:( now I can only type with one hand smh

i think the most important thing to realize as a trans man when it comes to misogyny is that instead of thinking/saying/acting like "misogyny directed towards me sucks because im not even a woman!" you should instead be looking at it like "misogyny directed at me sucks, nobody should have to endure that. the fact that im not a woman doesnt matter to these people. people of all genders can be impacted by misogyny, and its not right for any of them"

its a subtle change and although it is just a matter of words, i think its an important distinction so that your defense of your gender doesnt get in the way of recognizing the root of the problem. obviously transphobia is another issue in its own right but both things do exist and need to be confronted

What would happen to Probopass’s “mustache” if you brought Sandy Shocks (or any of the magnemite line) near it?

hate it when people act like swansea thinks of daisuke as a literal child when he repeatedly proves thats not the case. would he be asking a child to drink with him you dumb fucks

[yousaytomato]

I sometimes don't know what to say when people are like, "ugh it sucks being a woman - I hate shaving my legs!!" because it's easy to be like, "then don't", and for some people that works, but I also understand that it's a deeper problem than that, and whilst personally, I revel in the queerness of my hairy body, not everyone wants that, but also that body hair shouldn't be seen as un-feminine anyway and body hair shouldn't be some kind of statement and....idk.

redid my hair last night and i am now even more aerodynamic, asymmetrical, AND magnetic. my swag unending

[image description: a simple cartoon self-portrait done in ms paint. the artist has asymmetric glasses with one lens as a rectangle and the other as a circle, and he also has a little bit of stubble. he has a buzzcut that is split-dyed down the middle, with one side being red and the other being blue. there are small cartoon lightning bolts around his head, as if to imply that his hair was electrical. end id]

Y’know, thinking about it, looking at Yugi’s grandpa and that magnificent beard, it stands to reason that Yugi could probably grow out some facial hair if he wanted to and it is a source of no end of frustration to some of his male friends who are arguably “manlier” than this tiny-ass twink but can’t get a sick goatee or whatever.
