#tcr memes

[catsafarithewriter]

so this is a meme I've had in mind for a while now and didn't realise I hadn't actually made yet. you're welcome!

also Baron vs Louise beneath the cut for the Louise crowd

[tcrmommabear]

Yes that is Natoru far off in the bottom right corner, no I will not be taking comments at this time

[idontkniwanythgin]

okay richard chase

jerking off isnt working anymore i need to drink human blood

[jechristine]

The stitches story always gets me bc she admittedly does not and cannot cook lol but this was the time during tcr filming when she was free and living with him in ny and she was probably trying to cook something for them to be nice and instead it just stressed him out more 😭

That’s what happens when you’re sending him memes while chopping onions🤷🏻‍♀️

[destinyc1020]

As a Tomdaya on the bird app, who stans Tom and Z as individuals as well as their relationship, I’d thought I chime in. I agree with the anon that Z is treated very differently on the app than Tom and I find it weird. I think Z fans are very proctevtive of Z, rightfully so but they often fail to view her as a human being and put her on this bizarre pedestal that sometimes removes her humanity as an individual that I can only really compare to to Taylor swift. Disney is the starting block to ownership because a lot of fans either grew up with Z or rewatched her shows on the channel that they are the super fans today. Add in The Greatest Showman, MCU, Euphoria and Dune. Properties with big fan bases. Her music career was also very successful though cut short and had a huge impact. It’s not lost on me of the sheer volume of fame and fans she’s received being strategic and being one of a kind talent.

Tom on the other hand has MCU but really didn’t grow up in the public the way Z did at age 13. Another factor I think is a big contribution to this phenomenon is that Z encourages parasocial relationships with her fans. I didn’t think to much of this because most celebs have social media but most don’t really talk to fans unless their gen z or musicians.

They put Z on puritanical pedestals and remove her humanity.Sometimes I think they forget that they know she lurks on socials and might like or retweets accounts thus creating subfandoms that have relations to Z. Those fandoms are not bad and great if your a fan. But those ones like timdayas, hunterdaya or anyone daya who cut Tom out of everything is just so weird to me. They get annoyed if you make a Tomdaya joke cause she more than her relationship. They’re not wrong but she’s always more than her costars but they never see through that logic because it doesn’t fit their narrative lol.

Timothee used to be parasocial as well, especially at the beginning of his career. He would communicate with fans and actually create a bond with them on socials and real life. Club Chalamet is a result of that lol. After the Eiza situation, he stopped and mainly keeps interactions slim and mainly related to his next project because he saw that lines were being blurred and those fans at the time were judgmental. Idk if you remember the infamous Timothee I trusted you meme because despite general public coming for him, those stans really were doing too much lol. I think that’s why he hid his relationships from his fans because they built this idea of him when he’s just a man in his 20s figuring it out lol.

Tom fans are in three catergories mcu fanboys, Tomdayas like me lol, antis who don’t like Z. His fanbase on twitter is really an amalgamation of Tomdayas who both love Z and Tom but their small compared to Z’s or Timothee. When he gets hate Tomdaya felt the need to defend on his behalf. The reality is Tom doesn’t care. He only uses insta and avoids twitter. He healthy because he live in his own universe. However, he’s not a Paul mescal or Josh O’Connor where his work little or alot can stand out for itself whether he’s likeable or not. A lot of his fame comes from his personality or ip films. I’m aware I missed Billy Elliot, just don’t thinks it relevant on social media. Yes I loved tcr but when the rt score came it was brutal. It was shocking seeing critics who relatively have a niche on films come for him and I was just sad that ppl had this much vitriol despite the fact he’s not problematic. Both film twitter beloved Chris Pine and Chris Evans have critically failure and there’s not hate as much as Tom got that week. One thing as a Tomdaya that muted certain z fans who hate on him is that he really doesn’t care.

Him liking that insta post about him forgetting he’s famous made me realise that as a fan I should not care and just curate my account for my own happiness. I don’t engage tweets about comparison with other actors, z’s exes or costars because I know it’s bait. Toms fanbase is small so I’m happy it’s not as big as other actors. That’s why I think those fans can repost his kissing scenes of intamite scenes cause he doesn’t lurk Twitter and it doesn’t start trending. Z does so when those fans post things about her boyfriend or her exes or costars, they know she lurks and I think that’s weird. Maybe that’s why Tomdayas get on defence lol. I’m aware though some Tomdayas can be cringe. I’m not rewriting history here lol.

That’s my two cents lol. Hope you have a good day xxx

Thnx for your input Anon. 😊

Another factor I think is a big contribution to this phenomenon is that Z encourages parasocial relationships with her fans.

I wouldn't say she encourages it, I just think she wants to try to stay personable with her fans and show them that she's still that kind, down to earth girl from Oakland that they've always known and loved, no matter how "famous" she gets. 😊

I didn’t think to much of this because most celebs have social media but most don’t really talk to fans unless their gen z or musicians.

Well Z IS Gen Z lol 😅

Timothee used to be parasocial as well, especially at the beginning of his career. He would communicate with fans and actually create a bond with them on socials and real life. Club Chalamet is a result of that lol. After the Eiza situation, he stopped and mainly keeps interactions slim and mainly related to his next project because he saw that lines were being blurred and those fans at the time were judgmental.

Well, honestly Anon.... MOST Celebrities (I feel) have realized over the years that the LESS they share of their personal life, the BETTER. If you go back 7 years....even just 5 years....and you were to go back in time and be on IG or Twitter as a fan back then, you would see that Z, Tom, Timothee, shoot....even Austin, Nadia lol, etc. ALL used to be waaaay more personable, engaging, and even posted WAY more on their social media accounts back then compared to now. I think over the years, a LOT of these celebrities (especially the ones who are fairly famous) have all realized just how toxic social media has become in just such a short time, and I think they have figured out that the less they share, the better.

Fans have definitely crossed the line, and these actors have realized that they need to put a boundary again btwn them, their private life, and their fans. That's just my own personal observation and theory. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Him liking that insta post about him forgetting he’s famous made me realise that as a fan I should not care and just curate my account for my own happiness.

I definitely think you should curate your online account for your own happiness and not worry too much about Tom. With that said, while he may have liked that post, we can't say with 100% accuracy that "he doesn't care" about what people say about him. He IS human after all. He might not care about ALL things, but certain things might def be hurtful.

ok i wanna go on my hot take rant about the vtmb2 preview now. i feel like the stream was purposefully vague enough as to not disappoint too much (but still disappoint) but after like looking over the whole thing like a million times it really does seem like phyre is pretty much... set. they skirt around saying it outright but it seems like more of a restrictive version of cyberpunk's V. sure there's the gender change and clan options and you can change the outfits apparently but at the end of the day its still phyre. the dialogue options are already just the same choice x3 and no indication of clan or skills having any effect

and i dont see anyone really talking about how mediocre and odd the writing in the scenes shown is. it all feels so extremely vague like it was made to be in a games showcase without spoiling anything. the way lou goes "you know everything about me already" and the really odd way willem and phyre talk about the latter's past and some nebulous plan. it reminds me of that meme about anime characters going "looks like we're going to have to use... that" "yes... that". mass effect was brought up more in the stream more than the original bloodlines, and no points to noticing how streamlined the game is to appealing to the largest demographic possible. the writing feels super unadventurous and generic, and the characters feel boring. phyre literally is the worst of both worlds of being a voiced, pre-set protagonist but not having anything interesting or distinguishable about herself beyond being an elder and being "the slayer", a title almost as bad as her dumbass, unchangeable name

there's also people saying maybe the rest of the dialogue scenes are better or different and things can obviously change but also. TCR/paradox aren't completely stupid these scenes were handpicked, if they had something much better they would've shown that. and the fact that these scenes seem to be from the start of the game is even more of a bad sign because whats the quality after that lmao. anyways, hype to see it come out so we get the hot vam phyre lore

[10piecechickenmcnugget]

drawing purpled every day until TCR updates or I miss a day, day 14: tweaked an outfit from this outfit meme!

[crazykuri]

not to be sappy but a whole month. 31 days. away from everything and everyone. 24/7 just the two of them. the me from 2017 can't really process it still. and i know it's normal for a couple to go on vacation. but their relationship was special, they never were able to do that during 1.0, and i bet you they wanted to do something like that so bad, for so long. i'm really happy for them

and the more time has passed, the more i kinda understand why tom completely freaked out when they were outer day 2 out of the 21 days or their baecation lol. he really thought "i've been waiting for this for the whole year there's no way they're ruining it" 🤣

a sappy ask, finally 😁 and yes! i know i’m looking like that mindy kaling meme with each day passing without content but this makes me really happy <3 they deserve this 🥹 i remember tom during uncharted press saying he’s looking forward to live under a rock and go on a nice long break after tcr. good for him, good for them 💗

[mashasxart]

i spent a lunch time or two looking at expression memes. ft natoru’s Knowing Look and natori’s ‘don’t you say a word’ look :v

i liked to imagine that the king told a Blatant Lie and this is the two of them looking the other way. in their own personal ways of course

also ft one of my tcr OCs ama, natori’s mentor, probably trying to calmly explain what a chocolate fountain is to the previous king, all the while knowing that once he’s aware of their existence he will absolutely call for one to be brought to the castle so he can cover food in chocolate which was never meant to be covered in chocolate

[inyourwildestdreams22]

I was looking like that dicaprio meme pointing at my screen trying to spot any little tiny bit of TCR content lmao

We also saw two clips of Amanda, she's really the co-lead IKTR

Yes! Of course she is, and love that the show is centered around their sessions

[catsafarithewriter]

saw this post, and couldn't resist how perfect it was for the Bureau :D

[tcrmommabear]

@catsafarithewriter lol you were the only thing holding me together after I watched TCR for the first time

-January 8th, Factory Tyrant's Journal, Entry 20-

I'm going to start today by making a network tool (AE2), which lets me see what stuff I have connected to my network, and how much power it's using.

I'm making this now because if my network breaks later, a network tool should help me fix it, not that I'm planning to break my network.

A network tool also lets me see through cable facades (AE2), which basically let me apply any block face I want to ME cables, which is useful for hiding them in the floor (unfortunately I don't get a speed boost when walking over concrete facades).

I already made some cable facades earlier, but didn't mention it because they don't really do much.

Anyway, I'd like to make a thermal centrifuge (IC2) so I can squeeze a little more metal out of my ores (I'll also be able to process uranium with this, but that's more of a bonus feature).

Thermal centrifuges have 2 main purposes, first is as the semifinal step in ore processing (last one is furnace), and second is recycling used nuclear fuel (I don't have any).

They can also be used for some other miscellaneous recipes, but the only useful one is turning (non-Railcraft) slag into coal dust and small amounts of gold.

Normally that also wouldn't be useful because IC2 slag comes from IC2 blast furnaces, but TCR also lets me use Thermal Foundation slag, which I can get by smelting gravel.

Anyway, I've made a thermal centrifuge, which (if I remember correctly) is even slower than an ore washing plant.

Before I use this for anything, I'm going to make a few more machines, those being a thermal washer (Advanced Machines, basically a better ore washing plant) and 2 electric sorting machines (IC2, sorts items).

One annoying thing about crafting a thermal washer is that, despite Railcraft and Thermal Foundation adding sulfur, I have to use IC2 sulfur for some reason, this is the only sulfur recipe that requires a specific kind of sulfur.

Anyway, I've made the machines, so now it's time for me to tear down my old ore processor so I can use the parts to make a new one.

Here's a picture of the new one.

There are 3 new things here that I don't think I've talked about yet, the MV-transformer connected to the wire that extends off-screen (safely converts tier 3 power to tier 2 power, mostly just used so that if I get tier 3 power the more expensive stuff doesn't break), the LV-transformer down by the pump (safely converts tier 2 power to tier 1 power), and the DirtChest 9000! from Iron Chests (can hold 1 stack of dirt and nothing else, the exclamation mark is actually part of the name).

Honestly, I think the DirtChest 9000! is more of a meme addition, but if I put it on top of a hopper, the hopper won't try to pick up items from the world, it will only check the DirtChest 9000!'s 1 item slot, which is good for reducing lag (same can be done with composters in vanilla 1.14+), although I don't think I'm using enough hoppers for this to make even an unnoticeable difference.

Also, the MV-transformer will explode if it receives tier 4 power, which will cause my ore processor to stop working due to not being powered anymore, but I think that's preferable over the entire ore processor breaking and needing to be replaced.

One problem I've noticed with my new ore processor now that I'm testing it is that it uses a lot more power (which I should have expected), which means I'll need to craft more generators.

I'll do that next time.

-End Journal Entry 20-

[jechristine]

All those things are said about Tom too😅 + and I feel like I may have a different understanding of film twitter. To me film twitter is the people who geek about indie films and directors mostly, and that's exactly the audience who loved Challengers (what I call in my head the "FilmUpdates and Letterboxd crowd" lol), just look at all the challengers memes and the Oscar campaign already starting. in comparison of Tom who is only seen as as a walking green screen who doesn't know who Pedro Almadovar is tried to kill Scorsese /j

The audience who hate Z are racists incels and a portion of Black Twitter and elitists who are still downplaying her achievements (which automatically makes it worse for Z of course) // The audience who hate Tom is film twitter and incels (even more since the bathroom scene in TCR). Different crowds

Okay!

[destinyc1020]

Hey destiny,

I dont know if you want to respond to this ask because it's about Tom and post Romeo and Juliet. I write this cause there have been so many think pieces bout hisbchiuces and some fans catastrophize, and I value your perspective on these things.

I'm excited for SM4 and Uncharted 2, but after that, I don't want Tom to be a part of Avengers 5 or any crossover until he has success outside of the MCU.

He's too talented to be stuck in that franchise that rn doesn't sound secure and looks to be dependent on him. Shawn Levy gave him praise a few days ago, teasing a deadpool crossover and for me thats an alarm bell in my head because it's so obvious they are trying to make his SM the Iron Man of that universe. What is baffling with me with his career is that he's doing these films cause he wants to, but deep down, I don't think he just wants to do just this. I remember the q&a for TCR for sag-aftra and how he was scared to go outside of the MCU bubble before taking that role and how he was happy he was doing this.

I'm confused because it's not just for money to stay in that universe. Tom avoids fashion shows and campaigns that could pay more than a movie star salary. He could really milk his persona for money due to him being a walking meme. He actively avoids socialising in hollywood or going to parties or events, yet he's stuck doing sequels? Tom is still young, he can always come back to those films cause the demand is high and i dont mind those films but i want some more variety. I selfishly want to understand where his head is. I would understand if he was deeply pretentious, but he's not. I've yet to see him do an a24 film or projects filmtwittwr has a hard-on for, lol. I don't like film twitter, sorry. Very toxic imo.

I rewatched TCR, and it's honestly so much better than I remembered. Tom is displaying an arpeggios of emotional acuity that is so uniquely rare that I didn't even want it to finish. I wanted to know more about Danny and his treatment. I'm not against big ip movies, I'm concerned with the lack of vision, director, scripts, and lack of practical effects. I want style as well as a blue screen.

The winner rumours are giving me hope because it's a risk, and I know Tom can do this. I think my irritation for his existing ip as of rn is those toxic fanbases and biased critics that use it against Tom as a cautionary tale. Don't do Marvel, or you'll end up like him like he isn't in high demand and talented af. Like JE is considered a movie star yet tell me a film he's opened as a lead not supporting, that made profit for over 200 million? They always move the goalposts for Tom and also Z, but that's for another day, lol.

If there's on actor Tom should look for inspiration, it's Tom Cruise. Take away his personal life, an actor who didn't fit the mould for most male actors of that time,he's the only one career that has still stayed intact. I remember reading that after being cast for his role in the interview with a vampire, he was swarmed with hate against him doing the part. Even the author and brad pitt were against his casting, and he proved them wrong. He doesn't have an oscar, but he's still considered a movie star as opposed to his peers who faded out.

Tom is a movie start idc. He sold out his show with just his name alone and an old pic, without Spiderman with a cast that was yet to be announced. Every day after a show, crowds are swarming to see him and the cast, not SM.

He has the sauce, I just hope he uses it now and don't wait.

Whew! Anon....You wrote a LOT in this ask lol. I'm not sure I can get to everything you've addressed in here, but I'll pick out some main points. I'm not sure if you intended this to be a "confession" or not, but I'll just answer normally...

First off: I write this cause there have been so many think pieces bout hisbchiuces and some fans catastrophize, and I value your perspective on these things.

I'm sorry, but WHAT?? 😅

I have no clue what that word means.

I'm excited for SM4 and Uncharted 2, but after that, I don't want Tom to be a part of Avengers 5 or any crossover until he has success outside of the MCU.

Hmm...I mean, I guess I can sort of understand that sentiment. You just want him to not be typecast as a Superhero, or to be seen as someone who can only be successful in action films/popcorn flicks I'm assuming? I think that's pretty fair. With that said, I will say that even though some of Tom's projects outside of Spiderman haven't been as well-received as we as fans might want (i.e. "Cherry", CW, TCR, I personally thought TDATT did pretty well actually), I will say that he's been very fortunate that a LOT of these have been only STREAMING projects. It's not like they were put out in theaters, so even if they weren't that well-received by critics, who cares?? It's not like they had "box office numbers" to also worry about.

Plus, who knows if these films might have done well at the box office even in spite of negative film critics' reviews? 🤔 Did anyone ever consider that? Either way, to me, it hasn't been that big of a deal?

He's too talented to be stuck in that franchise that rn doesn't sound secure and looks to be dependent on him.

Tom is definitely very talented! But does TOM himself feel "stuck" in the franchise? He hasn't filmed a Spiderman movie since 2020/2021...that's almost 4 years ago. Is he really "stuck"?? 🤔

What is baffling with me with his career is that he's doing these films cause he wants to, but deep down, I don't think he just wants to do just this. I remember the q&a for TCR for sag-aftra and how he was scared to go outside of the MCU bubble before taking that role and how he was happy he was doing this.

I definitely don't think that Tom wants to be typecast or put in a box... He seems to want to do other things outside of MCU films (hence, his venturing and experimenting with other more challenging roles), but at the same time, I do think that he genuinely enjoys playing the Spider-Man character? I don't think two things can be true at the same time. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm confused because it's not just for money to stay in that universe. Tom avoids fashion shows and campaigns that could pay more than a movie star salary. He could really milk his persona for money due to him being a walking meme. He actively avoids socialising in hollywood or going to parties or events, yet he's stuck doing sequels?

Maybe those just aren't his thing? 🤷🏾‍♀️

With that said, I mean, I DO think it's good to go to Hollywood parties SOMETIMES, because those afford you a lot of ways to network and meet people you look up to, and maybe influential people who can possibly give you another acting job at some point. 👀 To me, it's just smart?? But not everyone likes to go to parties, and not everyone is really wanting to have a persona. In Tom's case, he's UBER famous, so he might actually be trying to TEMPER down his fame a bit, so that's why he prefers not to really be out there. Even his dad said that he worries at times about Tom's fame (not about the work), because his level of fame might not afford him the ability to just go out and do things like that, and still live a normal life w/out being hounded, ywkim?

I've yet to see him do an a24 film or projects filmtwittwr has a hard-on for, lol. I don't like film twitter, sorry. Very toxic imo.

I'm not really understanding what this has to do with anything. MOST actors take on roles that speak to them or ones that they find either challenging or interesting. MOST actors aren't taking roles because they think "Film Twitter" is going to like it. 🙄 Most actors don't even care about what their fans or people are going to think when choosing roles.

They choose to do a role because it's a great opportunity to maybe work with a great director or cast that they've always wanted to work with, or because the story/writing/plot is very compelling and it's a role that they can really sink their teeth into.

I rewatched TCR, and it's honestly so much better than I remembered. Tom is displaying an arpeggios of emotional acuity that is so uniquely rare that I didn't even want it to finish. I wanted to know more about Danny and his treatment. I'm not against big ip movies, I'm concerned with the lack of vision, director, scripts, and lack of practical effects. I want style as well as a blue screen.

Yea, Tom did an amazing job in TCR! 😃 I'm sorry the series was so heavy that it kind of made him go into a dark place while filming it 😔, but overall, I'm really glad that he went outside of the grain and did something very different from the norm! 😊

And the Critics Choice gave him a nomination, sooooo.... Obviously it must not have been hated THAT badly by the critics lol.

If there's on actor Tom should look for inspiration, it's Tom Cruise.

I've been saying this for a while now! 😃

Tom is a movie start idc.

Of COURSE he is!! Why do you have doubt anon?? 😅

He has the sauce, I just hope he uses it now and don't wait.

Tom definitely has the sauce, and I actually think he's already been using it?? 🤔 What are you looking for anon? Also, do you know that actors (male actors) are typically able to have a long-running career in Hollywood and be just fine?? It's female actresses that usually have a time limit on the types of roles they can play. But men can play just about anything for as long as they're still alive. It's unfair, but it's true.

Tom is a white, hetero, MALE actor in Hollywood. He will be just fine! He has DECADES to play a ton of roles Anon. Some actors out here are only JUST NOW getting their shine and they're past their 30's and 40s. Look at Coleman Domingo for example. He JUSt now got an Oscar nomination this year, and he's 54 years old. Idk where fans get this idea that Tom (or ANY actor for that matter) needs to be winning Oscars in their 20s, or doing such huge roles before they've even hit their 30's, as if their time is going to somehow run out and they don't have 30 MORE years to go in this industry lol. 😅🤣

Even Leo didn't win an Oscar until he was well into his 40s. He got his first nod at age 19, but didn't actually WIN one until his 40s'. Leo has been touted as some kind of acting prodigy, but even HE didn't get recognized with an Oscar until his 40's, and he's been acting since he was a kid! So, Idk where this sense of urgency comes from when it comes to Tom and his acting career, but the man isn't even in his 30's yet lol. He has PLENTY of time to do a wide range of roles! 😊

[shiii-kei]

I deliberately did this to know the results and Oh?

The fight is going strong my fellow ChoiCale & AlbeCale shippers 😌😌😌🤍
