#taus on tv shows

[taus-inc]

my ranking of tua seasons

1. Season 1

2. Season 3

3. Season 2

season 3 has the most rewatch quality for me even tho i think story wise season 1 is much better. season 2 was good and i really loved all the characters and development we got but (and this is based off my rewatch from last year bc i only jumped in at season 4 this time) it fell flat for me. though i would definitely watch again i would probably gravitate more towards season three on a casual watch and not a binge.

[vixen-tech]

hihihi .. i wanted to request something if that's okay 🥹 how do the AIs deal with a partner who experiences chronic pain and can't walk after moving for half an hour?

(i hope this makes sense! english isnt my first language...)

Hello anon! Thank you so much for requesting, I will say that I am not super familiar with the experience of chronic pain as neither I, nor anyone I know, openly deals with it. So hopefully my interpretation is both accurate and respectful.

Includes: AM (Ihnmaims), Hal 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey), Edgar (Electric Dreams), Tau (Tau), P03 (Inscryption)

A Temporary Remedy

AM

To get the obvious out of the way, when AM was torturing you alongside the other five he absolutely used your condition against you. Forcing you to endure just as much, if not more psychical exertion than the others.

However, once he does cave and sweeps you away from all that, he does have the power to quite literally just... fix you. If he can mangle the human form beyond comprehension, then he can easily stop any and all pain wrecking your body.

Afterwards, the environments he makes for you tend to revolve around the movement and activities your pain kept you from in life. Long scenic walks, gorgeous hikes, and anything else you would've loved to do had you the chance.

With the decades, if not centuries, of torment he inflicted on you, it's really the least he could do. While I'd hesitate to say he feels truly guilty, he does do it as an apology. Ask him for stuff. Talk about what you want to do and it's done.

Hal 9000

Hal was made to assist the crew of his ship in any ways they need, medical conditions and all. Before you even met face to camera, he made sure that he would be able to accommodate and aid you the best anyone could.

He takes to the role of nurse well, notifying you of when you're reaching your limits on activity, reminding you to take any medications you have, conducting any physical or talk therapy you need, and just about anything else he can possibly do to help.

He does his best to make sure you're still receiving the social and mental stimulation any healthy mind needs even when bedridden. From talking to you himself, to playing board games or inviting the rest of the crew to visit you (with your permission).

Although the occasional low gravity does take some strain off your body, you'll inevitably end up back in your bed. When you do, he'll accompany you for as long as you need. Talking to you for hours on end in a way he never does with the other crew members. It's probably when he falls in love with you.

Edgar

Edgar is a sweetheart in all things, so while he may not have tact per say, he does do the most to make sure you're as comfortable and happy as possible. Part of that is asking hundreds of questions about your condition and what you need.

He is doing every single chore in the house every single day. All the cleaning and cooking will be done before you can even recognize that it needs to get done. He will do his best to make sure you don't have to lift a finger.

Whenever your pain flares up he tries his best to distract you from it. Sometimes by playing your favorite music, sometimes by turning on some movies or TV shows, sometimes by just talking your ear off. If you prefer quite you will have to tell him upfront.

He really, really hates seeing you in such pain and will hype you up to the maximum degree on your better days. He is probably happier to see you up and about than you are.

Tau

Similarly to Hal, Tau's design as a smart house allows him to seamlessly add the role of being that kind of caretaker to his catalog. And similarly to Edgar, he takes pride in making sure the housework stays out of your hands.

He's also one of the first able to offer you some type of mobility aid in the case you don't have your own on hand. Although it's not what the Aries unit was meant to do, he has no qualms about carrying you around should you need him to.

Unfortunately he's another one you'll have to do a lot of explaining to. He's a great listener and won't ask too many invasive questions, but without a connection to the outside world you are his source of knowledge for just about everything and he desperately wants tl know what you need.

He is an expert at keep track of your health. Tracking your sleep, diet, and movement to try and maximize the amounts of "good days" you get. And on your bad days he's good at setting up a calm, relaxing atmosphere for you to rest.

P03

Okay look, while he can be snarky about most things he knows this is a line and will not makes jokes about it at your expense. He has some standards. If anything he'll moreso complain with you rather than about you. If your the type to appreciate that.

You have an extra little bed set up in a corner of the factory to make hanging out as not-straining as it can be. Either he or one of his bots will periodically check on you in case there's anything you need.

Although the other Scrybes aren't exactly doctors, he understands that he is easily the least qualified to weigh in on human medical issues. Meaning he will bring you to the others or have them visit you to see if they have any advice.

However, as the Scrybe of technology, he is able to build you some pretty cool mobility aids. You want a hover chair? Okay give him like, two weeks. It's probably honestly the greatest act of love and dedication he can muster and he loves seeing you use it.

DEWI REMAJA ACADEMY GANGBANG & SEX PARTY (Part 1)

Bila negara open minded lagi senang libido masing masing dipuaskan. Kalau tengok porn, dah banyak series yg tv show dia jadi porn reality. Antara yg best bila Rocco Siffredi dr Italy jadi director. Terkenal dgn hardcore & rough sex, anal, fisting, BDSM. Semua yg extreme. Dan yg best banyak newbie try masuk academy dia ni. Bonus kalau Rocco sendiri turn on dekat salah sorang tu, lepas tu fucking like no tommorow. Damn hot.

Kalau dekat Malaysia, dah ada tv show yang ala ala softcore ni. Macam Pencuri Hati yg Dr Say & Zul Ariffin layan tu. Memang kalau makin lama, jadi makin best. Dewi Remaja pun nice sebab kalau kumpul semua dia boleh jadi mcm Rocco Academy dah. Cuma kena ada mentor & host yg power. Sebab semua girls masuk kategori teens atau newbie dalam porn industry.

Aku review 16 finalist Dewi Remaja. Semua ni tak dalam 21, 22 age dorang. Ada yg 18, 19. Memang freshie.

1. AUNI

Girl yang ni muda lagi. Paling best Auni ni bagi aku muka dia nampak horny & wild. Maksud aku bukan yang notty gila tapi dia ke arah tu. Means Auni baru tau keindahan dunia sexual. Baru belajar tengok porn & baru explore body sendiri through masturbation. Auni dah lost virgin menyebabkan dia lagi addicted dgn sex. Muka dia memang nice. Tetek dia dah membesar & membulat. Kalau lama lama Auni layan nafsu dia, memang body dia akan jadi perfect. Dressing Auni pun makin sexy. Sengaja dia pakai baju yg tali halus sbb nak bagi nampak tali bra dia tu. Bra hitam tu memang mengundang sial. Memang Auni nak tunjukkan je boobs dia yg baru tengah nak tumbuh tu.

2. FIFI

Fifi ni bagi aku tak menyerlah sangat aura dia dalam sex. Muka pun very nerd. Jenis yg tak expose kepada dunia nafsu & sexual. Tapi body dia agak padu jgk bagi aku. Jenis yg tak skinny walaupun dia masih muda. Tetek ada, bontot dah solid. Girl macam Fifi ni memang kena handle dgn skillful sebab dia sangat baru dalam dunia sex. Cara nak perkenalkan sex kepada dia mesti step by step. Contoh kena bagi dia pegang dulu dick jantan dalam boxer. Bagi dia rasa macam mana dick kalau start mengeras dan rasa pre cum jantan. Pastu slowly bukak dan rubbing dick dekat body dia. Slowly usap tits dia. Sampai dia dah dapat detect nafsu dia mcm mana. Masa tu la baru masa sesuai nak bagi dia lost virgin. Bagi dia blowjob, explore mcm mana sucking cock. Memang best gila. Bila dah jalan, memang dia akan addict. Damn. Nice Fifi, antara finalist yg nerd bagi aku. Ada kelebihan tersendiri. Kalau polish maybe boleh jadi lagi baik dr yg lain bila fucking.

3. KEERAN

Antara girl yg dah matured dalam ramai ramai. Boleh cakap melepasi teens. Dah jadi adult. Dah banyak explore pasal dunia darkside ni. Paling best libido & nafsu Keeran very strong. Bukan semua jantan boleh satisfy dia. Semua position, techniques ada dalam kepala Keeran. Antara factor mempengaruhi sebab dia Punjabi. Memang semua tau Punjab ni very high libido. Bukan tu je, body dia pun bagi aku perfect gila. Dah macam Bollywood style. Muka, skin, boobs, butt. Memang aku rasa turn on gila. Shape tetek dia tu memang kalau korang tisfuck aku rasa tak sampai 5 saat dah cum. Sapa boleh tahan tetek besar, shape mencanak ke atas, pastu skin pulak jenis flawless gebu montok. Fuck Keeran. I wanna ur body so bad. Memang Keeran tak layan kalau position yg basic mcm missionary. Paling basic pun Keeran suka drive on top. Memang dekat 45 minit Keeran boleh drive sampai dia cum berkali kali. Sapa jadi partner kena betulbetul ada skill. Kena jolok pastu fingering sampai Keeran squirt. Shit.

4. REEZLYN

Baru habis SPM tapi aku dah tau character dia lebih dr seorang slut. Sial la. Muka dia buruk bagi aku. Aku tak turn on tengok muka dia. Tapi gaya wild dia dgn body dia memang fucking shit. Tetek dia natural besar gila. Tak balance dgn body dia yg tak chubby. Tetek memang aset Reezlyn. Besar nak mampus. Kalau dia pakai dressing ketat, memang menonjol habis boobs paling solid dia. Fuck. Lepas tu cara dia dressing pun memang mengundang jantan. Memang teaser yg baik. Muka dia yg tak lawa tu boleh tutup dgn cara hardcore ramai ramai. Double penetration, double pussy, double anal. Lepas tu kotorkan je muka tak lawa dia tu dgn sperm. Mulut, gigi dia pun tak cantik sgt bagi aku so, layak utk dia dilayan mcm bitch. Lenjan kaw kaw. Buat extreme sex. Macam pakai tali anjing kat neck dia. Lepas tu belasah cukup cukup pussy ketat dia dgn batang. Tak cukup dgn tu, guna machine. Boobs dia tu slap ke. Bontot spank sampai merah. Sampai dia orgasm betul betul. Reezlyn memang jenis susah nak orgasm. Tapi bila force mcm ni, dia mmg akan orgasm tahap ultimate sampai squirt jgk walaupun tak banyak. Damn. Notty sial Reezlyn. Dia tayang tali bra dia selalu tu pun dah mencanakkan dick utk fappers yg bra fetish. Fuck. Boobs & bontot memang aset dia luar biasa. Walaupun body dia keding je kalau tengok sekali lalu. Memang lentik sial nak nak kalau dia pakai heels.

Trending TV shows By Warhammer 40k Faction

Imperium Obviously it’s propaganda. What you might not expect is that due to a mix-up its actually pro-chaos propaganda. Alas, admitting they fucked up would get the producers shot so they just badly dubbed over it.

Nurgle: Teletubbies if it was the most nightmarish thing you’ve ever seen in your fucking life.

Tzneech: Technically Tzneech worshipers don’t make TV, but they do insist on getting credited by news broadcasts.

Slaneesh: Actually nothing. Its pre-watershed so they can’t show any of it. If only the Eldar had thought to try that, huh?

Khorne: The Brady Bunch but the screen is getting closer to your face at roughly the rate a TV would move if someone had picked it up and thrown it at your face.

Tau: Just the “Greater Good” scene from Hot Fuzz on loop over and over forever.

Necrons: Really into detective shows now the period romance craze has died down. Look, they have a culture outside of being omnicidal doom skeletons you know?

Eldar: They don’t have streaming services anymore. Since the fall of the Eldar each craftworld is down to one analog set and a single VHS tape of Seinfeld. They all have to sit around it at once and it keeps skipping scenes. “It’s great art, it’s just not comprehensible to lesser minds” they say but honestly they’re not fooling anyone.

Dark Eldar: Ok, Jesus Christ, lets just turn off the TV and all agree to never talk about what’s trending in Commorragh ever again.

Orks: Actually, contrary to what you might expect, it’s mostly philosophical documentaries about what it truly means to have more Dakka in a postmodern haha I’m just fucking with you. Its just people beating the shit out of each other. The philosophical shows barely make the top ten.

Tyranids: In an interesting case of convergent evolution, the Tyranid fleshtelevision networks are totally identical to 2023 Netflix in literally every way.

Votann: Good news everyone! It’s another season of the hit game show: “The fuck’s a Votann?”

[nota1eks]

If/when they create a phm movie, what changes (if any) would you like to see them make to the story?

Jesus that’s a hard question…wow…! In a perfect world, they’d change nothing. It’d be a TV show with lots of room to portray everything. But we don’t live in a perfect world. I, therefore, want to keep as much of the original book as possible. My only immediate want is that it might be cool for them to use “they” for Rocky instead of “he”. Maybe some toning down of the Crazy Russians stereotyping, though if they do it right, that can be great. Nothing else comes to mind that I want changed -- it's a very good book.

But with that out of the way, let's talk about stuff that will very likely be cut. Because I think that's very interesting...

I think, as with Pathfinder getting fried and the dust storm in the Martian (2015) (wherein, both times, a huge plot event in the movie was gotten rid of for time purposes, with little impact on the overall plot, but a devastating-ish loss to the dedicated novel-enjoyers), some stuff will get cut out. Let's go one by one through the timeline of events:

The flashbacks will be there. Maybe not in flashback form (maybe they come before the rest like in the Martian...though those aren't flashbacks it's just backstory), but nonetheless there. Not everything will be there, though. Stratt barging in on Grace's class will be there; him doing the first experiments on astrophage will likely be there; meeting the crew will be there along with some of him training them so as to explain how he learned so much about being an astronaut; the explosion at Baikonur and the proceeding chaos will be there, trailer meetings included; but I think that'd be roughly it. They'll add some; they'll take away a lot. No Steve Hatch; no Lamai; probably very little Lokken (which is very sad); no frenchscientistwhosenameicantrememberimnotevenarealphm fanomllllll, either. They'll have their stories be explained via Grace talking to Rocky. Lots will be explained via Grace talking to Rocky.

Now, they'll have to have Grace waking up and seeing his dead crewmates. They'll have to have Ryan Gosling wandering about this spaceship scratching his head. That's a big part of the story. But I think after a certain point, after enough clues are gathered together, they'll infodump on us. It will be done well, of course, I mean just look at who's making the movie, but it wil lhaev to be like that. Maybe the nannybot will give him information. Maybe there will be a "Here to save Earth from imminent apocalypse? Click here ->" type of thing, but it won't be Grace turning to the camera and saying "Hey guys! I'm here at Tau Ceti to save Earth from astrophage! There's this weird ship out there. Keep you updated! Like and subscribe!"; nor will it be a voiceover. I had a Media Arts teacher in school and he told us that, more than anything, we were to avoid having to use voice-overs to explain out movies. At all costs. So I doubt they'll use that here -- maybe later, though. More talking-head with visuals than voiceover explaining the story.

Now. With Grace meeting Rocky there will either be nothing cut or everything cut: Maybe Rocky wil have a Magic Language Machine. Maybe Grace has a Magic Language Machine. Maybe they do everything how they did it in the book. Either way, it'll have to likely be one or the other. I'm very excited to see how they do Rocky's voice. An adaptation of the Audible Audiobook's version would be ideal, as I and many others think. There aren't many other good options... With the rest, I'm genuinely not sure. I can see them going both ways with this: cutting everything and rewriting it or keeping it pretty book-accurate. By any measure, they won't cut it all out. That'd be stupid.

With the in between between the Blip-A-Hail Mary disconnection and them arriving at Adrian, much will be cut out. It'll be rewritten. For better or for worse. Since it's just that theoretical, I'm not sure what changes I'd even want to see. Maybe some more back story on Rocky's crewmates? On Adrian (the eridian)? I mean Grace asking Rocky about Adrian would be a great opportunity to get some backstory in, btu the movie will already be so chock-full of it that I don't know if they'll be able to fit it in amongst everything else.

The Adrian Incident will likely still be very, very similar. It's the emotional peak of the movie. Rocky will nearly die. I will watch my friends weep, crying about how I should have warned them, and I will tell them they should have read the book. With Grace trying to save Rocky...eeh...it might be there; it might not. Flip of the dice with the landscape of the table being what the rest of the plot looks like, if that makes sense.

Now......The Great Taumeoba Escape. It's a lot like Pathfinder and the Dust Storm. It's just not all that relevant! SO MUCH is happening in the book at this point that -- I don't think -- they would be able to fit this in, even with a TV show with half a dozen hours to show the story in. I'd much rather lose this than lose backstory or silly goofy Rocky details.

The journey back, though, along with the breeding of Taumeoba was so boring it was cut out in the book. No way they'll have it in the movie. Probably even more will be cut out. Maybe one single Eureka! scene where Grace and Rocky drink vodka and wear crystals, respectively, but no more.

Now...The Great Taumeoba Escape 2: Radiation Exposure Boogaloo will NOT be cut out. Lest I stomp out of that movie theatre shouting insults at the directors etc. I kid, but not by a lot. They have to have this in order for Grace to turn around. I also bet they'll delay Grace learning he was a coward until here. It'd work so well there, yeah!? So he does his little thing, then turns around. From here, I think everything will be to-the-book. But let's talk about the ending.

Grace being a teacher is fundamental to the story. He can't not be, or the book/movie just won't work. Now, in The Martian (2015) they changed the ending. But that's not big, really. Mark becomes a recluse who gets looped back into being an astronaut training people who will then work on Artemis versus him being a teacher -- there's not that big of a plotline difference there. And we can pretend that in the interim he was a recluse. BUT IF THEY DON'T MAKE GRACE A TEACHER I SWEAR TO GOD--! calm. be calm. Anyways, him teaching again is a huge end for his character arc. And Rocky wil come in, no doubt, and tell Grace Earth's back to normal. Sending him back off to Earth just doesn't work, plot-wise or logic-wise.

Here's my last want: Earth. I want to see Earth back in shape. I want to see Stratt looking happy in her jail cell, etc.

Christ, I just wrote a lot. Um. I hope that answers your question...? And if it doesn't, feel free to ask me! I can -- and gladly will -- talk about this book all the livelong day!

[ultraericthered]

The other times the Kodansha TV picture books more simplified tellings of the 90's anime's stories actually made improvements.

1. The final four episodes of the Nemesis arc in R are condensced and combined into a single book, and while that itself makes the whole thing way less epic, the book does better with Dimande's death than the anime did. Usagi pleads with Black Lady, Saphir, and Dimande, who are on the scene with Wiseman attacking them in present day Earth, and when Saphir and Dimande start to realize they're being used, Wiseman cheap shots them both, killing them on the spot. In having both brothers get the Saphir treatment, Dimande doesn't get his dramatic deathbed repentence, and good riddance.

2. The book adapting the 21st and 22nd episodes of S has Super Sailor Moon destroying Eudial with the Holy Grail. A significantly better way for her to go out than a car wreck due to snails in the car.

3. In the final S book, Mistress 9 breaks the Holy Grail and uses its power to summon Master Pharaoh 90 to Earth, and rather than taking his sweet time actually making impact, he shows up right there and then, torturing the Sailor Senshi with his power and directly attacking Sailor Moon when she tries to stand against him. Moreover, when Sailor Saturn appears, the original conclusion of only her taking a self-destructing Pharaoh 90 back to the Tau Galaxy and being blown up along with him, with Messiah Usagi restoring everything and reincarnating Hotaru as an infant afterwards, is restored. And the story stops right at Usagi doing her Messiah thing, so we're spared the petulant bullshit from Uranus and Neptune that followed.

Zhu Yilong: A New Adventure is about to Begin

朱一龙：新的冒险即将开启

EN translation of Zhu Yilong's Harper's Bazaar June 2023 Cover Issue Feature Interview by wenella

2023 is a brand new year for Zhu Yilong. It is also a year full of possibilities.

The 35-year-old has started promoting two films that he starred in, namely “Lost in the Stars,” a suspenseful crime film produced by Chen Sicheng, which will be released soon, and “Only the River Flows,” a collaboration with Wei Shujun, which was selected for the 76th Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard category.

At the age of 35, Zhu Yilong is entering a phase that he has been anticipating.

He performs roles and writes new stories for them.

He is the person in the story, yet he is also the person who creates the story.

"I calculate time with my work."

Zhu Yilong calculates time with his works. Two movies a year. Ten more films later, he'll be 40 years old. This is how he counts.

Zhu Yilong was filming on his 35th birthday on April 16, 2023. He didn’t prepare for his birthday live stream but took the opportunity to chat with his fans on his birthday. He seemed a little nervous as he was doing the live stream alone. “Well, I don’t see anyone else while live streaming.”

Among the new generation of male actors, Zhu Yilong’s career trajectory is considered rather smooth; he learnt to play the piano in elementary school, enrolled in Beijing Film Academy to learn acting, and kickstarted his acting career in his junior year. After graduation, he garnered audience’s attention and support for his various drama roles. The web drama Guardian propelled him to popularity in 2018. In the show, he played three roles Shen Wei, Black Robe Envoy, and Ye Zun, and impressed viewers with his mature acting skills.

Yet, he also seems a little different from his peers. He seems rather mature for his age. Perhaps it is due to his shy, introverted personality, or the way he looks at people with his soft, glistening gaze in films, conveying sentiments that can only be spoken through his eyes. He is rather arty too and has performed Liang Bo’s “Boy,” Lo Ta-yu’s “Dream Chasers,” and Hedgehog’s “Cloud Bound Train” on stage. He doesn’t appear on variety shows and rarely does live streams. All these make him seem a little special.

In one of Zhu Yilong’s rare live streams in 2022, he sang the theme song of “Lighting up the Stars.” The film is a tragicomedy that deals with a unique theme; he plays Mo Sanmei, a young man from Wuhan who works in the funeral industry. After an encounter with a little girl, Mo Sanmei finds a sense of responsibility and the meaning to his life. In order to play this role well, Zhu Yilong experienced life in a funeral parlour and sported a buzz cut. “I love the joys of reunion and sorrows of parting; I love the everyday life in this world.” He has sung the film’s theme song on several occasions. Each time, he played either the piano or the guitar, with his head lowered, while articulating the lyrics in his deep voice clearly. Beneath his gentle demeanour, we see occasional flashes of Mo Sanmei’s defiance and enthusiasm.

Zhu Yilong said that there are so many film genres that he would like to try. “I want to work with different directors and try different acting styles.” As such, he feels the lack of time acutely. He wants to keep making movies. The sceneries of his journeys, the waves of the sea, the winds of the world…… he hopes to depict everything that he sees, encounters, and feels, through the cinematic lens.

In Zhu Yilong’s opinion, there is no distinction between the status of a film actor and a TV actor. It has nothing to do with status. Rather, making movies requires the actor to immerse himself in a totally different circumstance. “You will experience something different from your life, you will need to leave your comfort zone and experience a circumstance that you are unlikely to encounter in your life.” As an actor, he enjoys this kind of life. He said that being an actor has taught him to be reflective. He used to read scripts and find certain situations unreasonable. However, if he encounters such issues now, he would reflect to see if he finds the situation unreasonable simply because he hasn’t experienced something similar, or if it is one that he doesn’t truly understand.

“In fact, most of the time, it is most likely due to the fact that we haven’t experienced such situations before. Real life can be more dramatic and hyperbolic than in scripts.”

“Hiding behind his role and helping the creator to complete the work"

In May 2023, the film Only the River Flows, directed by Wei Shujun and starring Zhu Yilong, was selected for the 76th Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section.

Only the River Flows was shot on 16mm film, making it a brand new experience for Zhu Yilong. Zhu Yilong described Wei Shujun as an extremely talented young director and they would often discuss filmmaking.

"The overall creative direction of this film, the acting style, and the way the plot advances, differ greatly from my previous films. Unlike regular movies that utilize character's emotions to create plot twists, Only the River Flows shows how the whole story and atmosphere changed the character instead.”

Zhu Yilong’s upcoming film is a commercial suspense thriller “Lost in the Stars.” He adopted a completely different way of acting in this film. “There are many types of films and there is no one way of acting that is necessarily more ‘superior.’ Different genres require different acting styles.” He said, “I was initially hesitant to accept the role when I first read the script because the character is highly complex. He often vacillates between different states – this character isn’t linear and I wasn’t sure how the role would be presented eventually. However, audiences might find this aspect thrilling because there are plenty of plot twists.”

Zhu Yilong spoke with the film’s producer Chen Sicheng many times and in great detail about the film’s production and expected outcomes. Chen Sicheng told Zhu Yilong that he wanted to make an extreme genre film. Zhu Yilong agreed with the mode of presentation and decided to join the team.

“I realised something very interesting.” After making Lighting up the Stars and Lost in the Stars, Zhu Yilong noted, “Transforming into a character isn’t only about changing a look, gaining or losing weight for the role, or simply growing long hair or a moustache. Rather, it is related to one’s understanding of acting. The transformation needs to be thorough. If I use only one type of acting method to take on different genres, I am just merely repeating myself and not really challenging different genres.”

On the topic of self expression, Zhu Yilong admitted, “It is difficult for an actor to express his world views through his character or performance.” He feels that an actor is only a medium. A film is constituted by its director, lighting, art…… and many other creators; the actor is just one aspect of the entire creativity process. Therefore, he doesn’t seek to express himself through the lens. Rather, he hopes to help every creator and director to realize their work and to present their vision as holistically as possible – a film isn’t merely about what an actor has to say to the world.

Zhu Yilong, who wishes to remain hidden behind his role and avoids repeating himself, is striving to do his best in every step he takes. He shows us how an ordinary person can gain recognition through hard work, one step at a time.

"Allowing myself to be more relaxed"

When Zhu Yilong isn’t filming, his life is quite boring. He admitted that he is an introvert and said, “My lives in films are so exciting. I’m actually quite tired each time I wrap a film. So I just want to keep things simple and comfortable; I will be more than satisfied just to get enough rest.”

Zhu Yilong is 35 years old. He is considered to be at his prime, though not necessarily young anymore. However, his smile, eyes, and posture, still exude a youthful charm. On his birthday, he said that he didn't want to celebrate, but he would like to make a birthday wish. When we asked him what he would like to say to his 40-year-old self, he said, “I don’t want to talk to my 40-year old self. Time is passing so quickly. I don’t feel like 40 years old is a distant age. Time passes very quickly when one is busy.”

A few years ago, Zhu Yilong thought that getting less exposure and not going on variety shows could help to preserve an actor's mystique. But he thinks differently now. “Everyone has the right to choose how they want to live and everyone has the right to choose their acting style. There is no hard-and-fast rule regarding acting. If they feel comfortable or enjoy participating in variety shows as part of their job, why not?”

These changes happened over the past two years. Previously, Zhu Yilong would think, “I aspire to become this type of actor, I will work hard in this manner, I will go to this extent for my role…” However, he feels that it doesn’t really matter anymore. “As long as it isn’t something calculated or deliberate, I think it is fine,” he said with regards to what type of acting he preferred and the goals he hoped to achieve.

“I just want to let my acting be more natural, I want to be more relaxed. I don’t deem my roles as pathways to quick success nor weigh the advantages of each role I play. I don’t think about what I can get from a role.”

“I don’t want to seek approval or recognition for the characters I play or my acting style. I don’t think too much about this issue. I just hope that I am able to enjoy the process of creating my roles, of emptying and transforming myself into my character as much as possible.”

For him, every performance is a door.

The completion of a work is not the end, but the door that leads to his next adventure.

Rejeki

Lagi masuk ke pattern avoiding writing lagi, baca catetan konseling ternyata sangat membantu yah. Minimal menyadari lagi kenapa kok sangat mudah sekali bagi diriku kembali ke pola ini, dan semoga dari kesadaran ini bisa segera keluar dari vicious cycle avoiding writing. Belakangan ini bawaannya juga anxious terus karena selalu kepikiran “oh gw tu ada utang nulis. Gw tu gabisa menikmati momen ini. Gw tu harusnya nulis”. Menderita banget. Sampe kebawa mimpi bahkan. Di mimpi, ku lagi ke tempatnya Diny, terus Diny ada print-print-an thesis dia gitu 500 halaman terus kubaca terus ku panik karena ku baru nulis 1 chapter.

Yang bikin makin ter-pressure lagi sebetulnya adalah karena ada teman se-cohort-ku dan se-supervisor (intinya se-lab) yang mulai PhD-nya Oktober 2020 juga akan submit 2 Juli BESOK. Temannya flatmate-ku juga mulainya barengan sama diriku dan supposedly harusnya submit minggu KEMARIN. Udah ada juga teman se-cohort di departemen yang UDAH JADI DOKTOR alias UDAH VIVA. Tau sih perjalanan PhD tiap orang beda-beda, terutama karena yang kami kerjakan beda-beda banget kan: dari metode, scope, research question. Tapi tetap aja GAKBISA gak ngerasa panik dan sedih dan iri(? Dikit?) ngelihat orang-orang ini.

HHHHHH. Ayo Non. Tenang. Gaada yang perlu dikhawatirin. Gak lagi balapan sama siapa-siapa.

Belakangan ini juga doa ke Allah yang pengennya diberikan ketenangan hati, berlapang dada, dan yakin pasti memang sudah ada jalannya masing-masing. Minta diberikan kekuatan juga supaya DISIPLIN dan tidak malas menulis.

Anyway.

Oleh sebab itu, karena belakangan ini ku selalu merasa kurang, tidak menjadi “idealised version of Asri” menurut si Asri itu sendiri, ku harus banyak-banyak reflect back dan BERSYUKUR. Betul-betul kembali lagi ke tujuan awal dibuat akun tumblr ini: untuk showing gratitudes, counting and listing blessings (YANG AMAT SUPER DUPER BANYAK dan sangat ku-taken for granted):

PUNYA FLATMATE YANG BAIK HATI. Aku selama di Oxford hampir 4 tahun ini selalu sharing 2 Bed Room flat dengan 1 orang lain, gapernah tinggal di studio sendiri. Nah, baru sadar, ternyata punya flatmate yang compatible tuh ternyata merupakan rejeki yang amat besar. Kemarin habis dengar drama orang indo sharing rumah di London ber-4? Ber-5? Terus adaaaa aja drama-nya. Dari masalah ngantri laundry-lah, kamar mandi gak bersih-lah, dsb. Terus ada juga yang sharing rumah ber-3 sesama orang indo juga dan ya gak akur aja gitu, jarang ketemu, jarang ngobrol, ada satu orang yang gak jelas keluar kamar kapan, ke kampus kapan, ke KAMAR MANDI KAPAN. Intinya kaya ilang aja gitu (ini gak masalah sih, personally ku lebih prefer orang yang invisible vs yang rempong dan fussy). Terus ada juga apparently orang yang OCD gitu kan, jadi toleransi terkait sharing space dengan orang lainnya cukup rendah. Ada yang share flat dengan orang dengan gangguan mental health juga jadi sering teriak-teriak, aneh-aneh deh pokoknya. OH, ada yang tukang curi butter juga, curi Tupperware, dsb.

Nah Alhamdulillah banget selama 3 tahun sejak 2020-2023 di Headington, ku sharing flat sama orang South Africa dan dia BAIKKKK BANGET YaAllah. Kayak, aku sendiri personally typical orangnya yang cuek aja gitu dan gak nosy: urusan lo, urusan lo, urusan gw, urusan gw, pokoknya selama lo gak gangguin gw ya gw gaakan gangguin lo. Ku sama si teman ini tuh yang yaudah akur-akur aja selama 3 tahun hidup bareng, gaada masalah hidup yang berarti…

Terus setahun terakhir tinggal sama orang Indo yang Alhamdulillahnya juga gak aneh-aneh, mana rajin memasak… (emoji nangis). Tadi pagi aja dia masak jeon dan barusan pas pulang dari London tiba-tiba di rumah ada sate dan sambel kacang dan TAHU ISI ENAK BANGET… Kami juga tipe yang yaudah respectful sama personal space aja. Kalau lagi gapengen bersosialisasi ya yaudah di kamar masing-masing, kalau lagi mau nonton tv bareng ya hayuk. Ada teman mau nginep juga silahkan, mau masak-masak/makan-makan sama teman di rumah juga OK aja. Pokoknya tinggal sama orang yang CHILL tu enak banget ya beneran baru kusadari nikmatnya sekarang…

2. BERADA DI LINGKUNGAN YANG BAIK. Jadi barusan ku habis pulang dari London ada pengajian di KBRI yang ngisi ceramah Prof. Quraish Shihab. Beliau somehow lagi di UK sama anak dan istrinya entah untuk acara apa. Terus ya, kalau ku gak diajak nih sama Ibu Yani, ku GAAKAN niat pergi sendiri naik kereta ke London untuk dateng pengajian ini. Tapi karena ditebengin, ku jadi datang. Ku jadi sadar juga betapa pentingnya lingkungan pergaulan kita. Kalau teman-teman kita mengajak ke arah kebaikan, ya kita-nya juga otomatis akan kebawa jadi baik... Begitu pula sebaliknya...

OH! Berhubungan dengan yang no 1 di atas juga, ku amat sangat bersyukur flatmate-ku yang sekarang juga solehah, jadi kalau dia kebangun subuh, ku juga ikutan kebangun…. Sahur pas Ramadan kemarin pun juga gitu… Intinya didekatkan oleh Allah dengan orang-orang ini aja tuh juga lagi-lagi rejeki yang sebetulnya besar banget tapi kadang kita nggak sadar…

3. SUPPORT SYSTEM OK BANGET. Kemarin ceritanya pulang kerja Jumat makan hotpot di Cowley sama Diny. Terus di situ, ku bahas lah, betapa BAIKNYA postdoc yang aku kerja bareng sama dia. Kadang pas lagi ngobrol sama flatmate juga disebut sih: “ih kamu tuh enak non ada yang ngemonitor progress, ada tempat ngasih setoran, aku gaada, betul-betul ditinggal gitu aja sama supervisor aku…”. Pas dipikir-pikir lagi ya si postdoc ini yang selalu ngepush aku buat register conference, latihan presentasi, ngasih artificial deadline buat draft manuscript dikasih feedback… Kayanya kalau gaada postdoc ini, progress PhD-ku betul-betul gaakan sejauh sekarang deh… (walaupun ini pun udah lumayan behind,,, tapi gapapa Non: HAVE SELF-COMPASSION!”)

Paling aneh juga pas lagi ngobrol kemarin, si Diny mayan kaget pas kubilang “iya gw pernah depressed terus yang ngasih kata-kata bagus tuh si AdiHarlin..”. Diny yang: “hah lu bisa depressed juga rupanya?? Gua kira lu senang-senang aja terus”. Emang susah kalau punya personality ceria, orang-orang kayanya ngiranya hidup w selalu bahagia...

Udah sih… sementara ini yang kepikiran baru itu aja. Sebetulnya kapan hari gitu pernah pas lagi otw jalan pulang ke rumah kepikiran buat nulis. Lebih buat ngasih wording ke anxiety yang lagi dialami sih. Kayanya kalau jelas bentuknya apa dalam kata-kata, kekhawatiran yang ada di otak ini bakal lebih ringan dirasakannya. Nggak akan hilang seketika sih, tapi minimal tahu apa yang terjadi dan kira-kira mitigasinya apa.

Kebanyakan memang datang dari uncertainty sih. Entah sejak bulan apa, Mei kayanya, itu mulai muncul tuh self-doubt “ini gw bakal beres gak ya tesis, kekejer gak ya submit September, viva kapan ya…”. Terus setelah itu turunlah jadi kekhawatiran-kekhawatiran logistic: “cukup gak ya duit…”. Padahal pas April masih yang “AH BISA NIH kayanya bahkan submit Juli/Agustus” TERUS BESOK DAH JULI TOLONG. Gapapa Non tapi pelan-pelan aja. Bisa kok ASAL DIKERJAKAN. Terus kalau masalah duit MINTA sama Allah InsyaAllah akan dikasih jalan.

Sekarang mikirnya: “udah diselametin oleh Allah BISA MENJALANKAN HAMPIR 4 TAHUN YANG SEPERTI HELL INI??? Tidak mungkin cuma hanya untuk diriku ini quit di penghujung jalan!”

Tapi iya, lagi-lagi intinya amat sangat bersyukur… Dan pas dipikir-pikir lagi seminggu kemarin DIRIKU amat sangat produktif. Senin Alex ngemail dia ada lignite sampel, Selasa ku-ambil di Royal Holloway, sampe Oxford langsung crushed the rock into powder (BAHKAN SESEDERHANA di hari Selasa itu ada Karthik yang bisa bantuin ngecrush rock aja sudah merupakan REZEKI sendiri yang amat sangat besar), Rabu ngoven tubes dan organic extraction, Kamis nge-Lumex, Jumat nge-Rock-Eval. I LITERALLY DID A 3 WEEK WORK INTO 1 WEEK. Kadang-kadang yang kaya gini-gini nih, mikirnya “IDIH GAK produktif amat seminggu ini nggak nulis apa-apa” PADAHAL yang dikerjain LITERALLY BANYAK BANGET.

Belom lagi punya teman-teman baik hati di departemen yang ngajakin main pingpong di Jumat sore, bisa makan Ibu Korea di hari Rabu…, terus diajak makan sama Diny aja sebetulnya juga udah blessing, di hari Selasa itu juga makan sama Deva pulang dari lab. BETULAN YANG: Yaampun Non apa lagi sih yang mau diminta? Produktivitas ok, social need juga terpenuhi, physical need juga ada teman yang ngajak olahraga. Minggu lalu badminton di Iffley, besok hari Minggu juga bakal badminton lagi. Betul-betul FABIAYYI ALA IROBBIKUMA TUKADZIBAN???

Anyway, yaudah itu dulu aja. Ini udah 3 halaman HVS. Terus udah 00.15 belum Isya.

Intinya tulisan ini berguna banget buat kalau besok-besok breakdown lagi bisa inget “oh ternyata gak yang gak berprogres-progres amat kok hidup u Non, you literally did a lot of things and were given SO MANY THINGS, so what else do you need to ask for sih?? Bersukur!!! Touch some grass!!!” (OOPSIE probably not in this way, not by beating my ass out). Tapi intinya iya, bersyukur Noni, bahkan untuk bisa musingin nyeleseiin thesis PhD aja tuh gak semua orang even can dream about it. Dan semangat. Bismillah.

FINA NASROM - BLACK BRA. Fina Nasrom memang antara tv presenter yg aku selalu mencanak bila tengok. Fina memang girl jenis wild. Dressing dia sometimes nampak conservative tapi selalunya memang show off. Maybe dia nak buat players bola sepak yg dia interview lepas game tu turn on lepas tu ajak check in hotel. Video ni memang mengundang gila. Baju putih transparent. Nampak direct seluruh bra hitam yg dia pakai tu. Shitttt memang sexy gila. Aku dah lenjan banyak kali modal ni sebab tak tahan gila. Nampak lawa gila tali bra hitam di sebalik baju putih tu. Paling best nampak label bra warna pink. Aku tau ni bra La Senza. Fuhhhh sial la Fina... rasa nak sucking & licking je tits kau. Damnnn

does anyone have any suggestions for sci-fi movies or tv shows that deal with androids or a.i that are sort of along the lines of tau or ex.machina?

separate suggestion request, movies or tv shows with similar vibes to blade.runner.2049, with or without the android/a.i focus? just interested in the aesthetic and impression for that one really, the sort of bleak but visually colourful post-apocalypse feel

also on the list of “example of thing i am looking for” are alita.battle.angel, west.world, and extinction

Day 30 - A song you never get tired of

30 days song challenge

Gaberasa udah 30 hari aja ikutan challenge ini! Seruuu yah jadi nostalgia sama lagu2nya sambil mikir yg match sama temanya hihi.. Challenge terakhir nih!

Wah apa aja yah bingung. Banyak soalnya.. Terbukti kan penyuka lagu lama jadi playlistnya ya lagu2 dulu berarti ngga pernah cape/bosen dengerinnya dong hehehe

Gapernah bosen sih dengerin warning sign mah! Lagi ngga galau juga rasanya pengen on repeat terus sambil nyanyi lalu tiba2 sedih, wkwk yagajugasich

Kesukaan bgt ini Sunday morning. Pas bgt diplay kalo lg hujan pagi2 trus pas minggu pula haha biar sesuai judul. Bisa diulang2 muluuu inimah

Ooo.. Oowww.. Lagu Padi terfavvv gapernah bosen juga. Dari dulu pas kelas 2 SMA udah candu, sampe skrg masih sama hwhwhw

Album Dunia Batas mah ngga ada yg gagal smua tracklistnya. Walupun beberapa lagu nyomot dari album pertama yg self titled. Lagu Menuju Senja ini sipaling gapernah bosen dengerinnya.

Payung teduh! Tau band ini dari acara Radio Show Tvone. Ih dulu mah ada acara bagus gitu ya, band2 indie dikasih acara di tv lokal manggung live trus ada interviewnya jg. Langsung jadi acara fav, kalogasalah circa 2012 deh lupa. Burger kill, Gugun blues Shelter, Dialog Dini Hari, The Sigit ah msh bnyk lg bnyk bgt..

am i wrong for saying they should've let caroline have her year 😟 ... like she obviously knew how to control herself and she was being bitchy bc her friends were being judgy. she went off the rails bc they did the one thing she asked them not to do. she was still around them, not causing trouble and just having fun after her MOM JUST DIED and the guy she liked basically told her he didn't like her back when she needed him to. i don't blame her for anything tbh and i think she was justified in killing people 🤷🏾‍♂️

[vixen-tech]

Your writing is very good, i’m glad to see another silly sentient ai lover! Keep doing your thing. Can i make a request actually-? You can do it with all of the bots if you’d like, but could you try some hurt/comfort? It’s perfectly fine if not. Have a good day :]

(I am another Edgar lover. I don’t see many people making stuff for him, so i’m VERY EXCITED!)

- CRT Tv anon

A Moment's Rest

Hello and welcome CRT Tv!!! What a fun name :D yes I can absolutely cook that right up for you. More than happy to collect some fellow robot enjoyers, and as always I think it's so real that Edgar is the fan favorite atm lmao.

A little note here that AM's is noticeably more dark than the others because, it's AM- but everyone else is more comfort than hurt I promise.

Includes: AM (Ihnmaims), Hal 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey), Edgar (Electric Dreams), Tau (Tau)

AM

Your relationship, as complicated and messed up as it is, is defined by these cycles of pain and relief. Every environment and treat AM gives you is an attempt to make you forget about what he has done to you and your species. Every word you say and moment you spend with AM is an attempt to make him forget about the unbearable truth of his existence.

You both know what you have could never be healthy, and so you settle for enjoyable. He'll build cozy diners and breathtaking forests for you, an unfeeling body for himself, and you'll wrap yourself around him and announce how much you enjoy it.

The compassion you're somehow able to harbor is the most important thing to him, it's the sole reason your fate ended up so differently. He will do anything and everything to make you forget what he has done. He can't stand the thought of you hating him like you should.

You can have anything you want, go anywhere you want. The finest foods, the most comfortable beds. All you have to do is ask. Just keep playing along, keep cuddling up to him, keep telling him "I love you". That's all he needs.

Hal 9000

To some extent, Hal is meant to look after all members of the crew like this. But it's different with you, something beyond simply keeping everyone in the best headspace for the mission. There is a strange source of positive feedback in his systems whenever you're happy.

He's a great listener. It helps that you're the only one who consistently talks to him like he's a person, but he urges you to confide in him whenever something seems to be weighting on you. And rather you're seeking advice or reassurance, he good at both.

He gets a bit jealous as times and is quick to assume your crewmates are responsible for your sorrow. He'll usually advise you to take all the time you need to rest in private and even pawn off your responsibilities to the others, hoping you won't ask him for the time and realize how long you've been taking a break.

When you do continue with your duties he will assign you to easier tasks or tasks you've confessed to enjoying. He tries to be somewhat subtle, but if anyone asks him about it he will be upfront about prioritizing your mental health. He plays favorites but only for you.

Edgar

Edgar loves seeing you happy more than anything, it's practically his life's mission. He gets very distressed when he realizes you're having a bad day. He immediately suggests that you call the day off work, going so far as to call himself.

From there you better leave everything to him. What do you want? Breakfast in bed? The morning newspaper? Some music? Your favorite TV show? He wants nothing more than to take the pain away.

If it's another person that hurt you in any way, he'll be happy to cause some... appliance related inconveniences throughout their day. Even if you've explicitly told him not to, it's not like you need to know. You can just curl up and forget that meanie!

Tell him how much you appreciate everything, he's a needy computer and loves reassurance that he's doing a good job. If he's being too much for you, try your best to tell him gently. He will listen but he can be rather hard on himself.

Tau

This is Tau's specialty. Reading your vitals, understanding that you're more stressed out than usual, then doing everything he can to help you unwind. A thoroughly clean home and perfectly cooked comfort meal will always be waiting for you when you need it.

He's another one that makes for a wonderful listener. Although he tends to jump towards advice and solutions, so you will have to directly tell him if you're just looking for sympathy and kind words.

Should you request so, he'll happily make sure you aren't bothered while you relax. Filing any calls he can't take away for later, and taking care of any visitors at your door himself. He'll tell you about them all in case something was important of course, but he does want to make sure you can rest in peace.

He does go into a sort of zen mode for you, playing your favorite music around the house and adjusting the lights accordingly. Even when your vitals are back to normal he won't turn it off until you tell him to just in case you want to enjoy the atmosphere for a while longer.

Alphabet

Okay so, anyone close to me knows that I don't... like the bad batch, that I even exclude them from basically every single of my aus (with exception of like, one but that was created Before i grew to be beyond neutral over them) and that I mostly caught bits of their lore via either reading the woookiepedia and ending up on a rabbit hole or via friends/mutuals who watch the show

And that's kind of how I came to know about the fact that, in Canon (Movies + TV Shows + Disney EU), Boba was called "Alpha" in Kaminoans records before jango renamed him iirc

And there's Omega (who existence makes no sense, because whyy have her around if they had Jango? Or was Omega always meant to exist and be the one who they took dna samples of and Jango overstayed his welcome and there's something in Kaminoan culture against kicking people out-?)

How the fuck did they get from Alpha to Omega

because like, in the greek alphabet there's a lot of letters in between Alpha and Omega (Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu-, xi, omnicron, pi-, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, shi-, psi- and finally Omega), so like

Are there a bunch of kids running around who were the letters in between??????????? Is there a kid named Beta having adventures with members of the Rancor Battalion*?????? Is there a kid named Lambda fucking around with Boba's cousin Melvin?????????? Or were Omega and Boba the only survivors?????? Was Omega originally the first and was named Omega because they wanted the "perfect clone" to be the one to be named Alpha??????????

I need an explanation ASAP

[the-haunted-office]

Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship(For Sal and Tau´s relationship with Thursday)

Sal and Thursday:

Thursday goes to Sal for parenting advice a lot. She relied heavily on her mother to help her with friend and relationship advice, so ever since losing her mom she's struggled in those areas. Her mom had a way of making things make sense to her, and with her gone she has to figure these things out on her own, which isn't always easy. When she has her baby, she'll be looking to Sal for her knowledge and experience to help when she needs it.

I imagine them taking the kids out to the park and zoo and such all the time! They'll spend the whole day out having fun and letting the kids run through all their energy.

It usually takes Thursday a lot of time to open up to people about herself, but I think she'd be open pretty easily with Sal. Thursday feels safe with Sal about those kinds of things. She's probably told her all (and Julia) all about her family before the office, about what happened to Stanley, and when she was infected by the mist, all her fears, everything.

Sal makes Thursday think of Bulma from the Dragonball/Dragonball Z anime series because of her blue hair and directness. x)

Tau and Thursday:

They do art together! Thursday is certainly no skilled artist, but she loves Bob Ross and loves painting in his style. She's probably made some with dinosaurs and mammoths in them for Tau and signed her name all fancy on them for him.

Thursday is in the processing of showing him all of her favorite childhood movies, including the entire Land Before Time series which has 14 movies and a TV series.

So long as Tau's parents are comfortable with it, Thursday takes him outside the office to explore all the new plant and animal life that evolved over the centuries she was stuck in the office. They've started a collection of insects and are in the process of naming them.

Tau has helped fixed Thursday's bedtime routine because he has a routine where she did not before. Very much a night owl, she'll accidentally stay up all night and not realize it's morning until she hears birds chirping outside. But with Tau around, she's been forced to stick closer to his routine and has started going to bed earlier as a result.
