Hi! Wasn’t sure if you guys knew about this, but some WGA members have donated items to be auctioned off with the proceeds donated to the Entertainment Community Fund.

Bidding on these items is a fantastic way for fans and fandoms to get involved and raise even more funds for the ECF, and can be done here: https://wgaragesale.ggo.bid/bidding/package-browse.

Could y’all add a link to the WGA Garage Sale to the list of links that fans can donate to? Or make a post that contains the full list of fandoms that have items that could be bid on?

There’s a lot of memorabilia that various fandoms might be interested in (things like a varsity jacket from Veronica Mars; the Seinfeld Finale script signed by all of the series regulars; picket signs made by Conan O Brien, Lisa Hanawalt, Loren Bouchard, and Seth McFarlane; a Teamsters jacket signed by Lindsay Dougherty; Colin Robinson’s energy vampire notebook from What We Do In The Shadows; a Conor Roy for President hat from Succession…) plus other intangible gifts like personalized videos, zoom commentary sessions, meet and greets, or even a speech written by co-head of the WGAw Negotiations Committee Chris Keyser!

A more general overview, with a video introduction behind the items given by the writers themselves, can be found here: https://www.wgaragesale.org/auction-items.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for this resource! Linking below to the auction page. Check it out if you're interested in owning some super cool fandom memorabilia or rewards like meet and greets, personalized prizes and... John August helps you write your script?? Wow, maybe I'll have to check that one out.

We've considered putting together a comprehensive list of donation possibilities in the future, but that can easily lead to overwhelm and there are also a lot of pages run by other people that collect that info. Right now the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are really emphasizing the Entertainment Community Fund, hence the auction, since that fund also applies to non-SAG-AFTRA/WGA people who are also affected by the strike.

2023 CHARACTER WRAPPED

i saw @ajcrowleys do this and i wanted to do my own - hopefully you don't mind!

rules: share your top 9 characters from the year (or 10. lol. i cheated)

(spoiler: mine are in no particular order except for alex who is always no. 1)

1. Alex Claremont-Diaz, RWRB

(will always be my number 1 - you can pry him from my cold, soulless hands. there will never come a day when alex is not my spirit character)

2. TK Strand, 911 Lone Star

(someone in the alta comments described him as a horny, bitchy tamagotchi and i died. he is the greatest feral cat to sassy husband transformation ever. don't get me started on The Hand Gesture)

3. Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars

(annoy, tiny blonde one. annoy like the wind! The definition of a badass bitch)

4. Jake Seresin, Top Gun Maverick

(if we wanna talk bitchy tamagotchis, here's one. he also comes in arrogant idiot and cowboy!)

5. Eli "Weevil" Navarro, Veronica Mars

(this episode is my favourite episode EVER. little bit bad boy, little bit sweetheart, I can't get over the biker gang leader with the heart of gold)

6. Carlos Reyes, 911 Lone Star

(i gotta say, carlos lost me a little bit in season 4, but i'll never get over the soulmates scene and he's just all around a favourite AND SO DAMN PRETTY)

7. Marjan Marwani, 911 Lone Star

(marjan's episode in season 4 was - aside from 4 x 16 - my favourite episode. some of the best plot lines that season and natacha really killed it!)

8. Sam Obisanya, Ted Lasso

(i watched ted lasso for the first time this year and i am just OBSESSED with this man. he's so damn sweet and true to himself. GOLD)

9. Paul Strickland, 911 Lone Star

(this man is literally out here officiating weddings, solving mysteries, putting out fires and making a mean chilli. like he does THE MOST. hats off)

10. Keeley Jones (and Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent), Ted Lasso

(not afraid to say i love the throuple but ALSO i just feel like all three of these characters had such beautiful arcs in ted lasso, i can't possibly choose one so i have to choose them all)

i'll open tag this one and also tag @strandnreyes @guardian-angle22 @inexplicablymine @three-drink-amy @fitzherbertssmolder @heartstringsduet @birdclowns @beautifulhigh @reyesstrand @lutavero @stereopticons @statueinthestone @apothecarose @celeritas2997 @goodways @carlos-in-glasses @theghostofashton @thebumblecee @reasonandfaithinharmony @happiness-of-the-pursuit @suseagull04 @whattarush @kiwiana-writes @alltheprettyplaces @lyhrcyrianne @st-elle-ar @fckingyrs @fuckingyrs @thisbuildinghasfeelings @tiffanymaxwels @lemonlyman-dotcom

cheryl gets a new superpower: the gift of flight. she uses it to hover a foot or so off the ground wherever she goes so that no matter who she speaks to, she's always just a little bit taller than them. she enjoys the feeling of everyone constantly having to tilt their heads up to look her in the eye. after she gleefully informs reggie that he might want to consider investing in some dandruff shampoo, a town-wide hat shortage sweeps riverdale. the combination of cheryl's Average Floating Height (AFH) and passion for acidic bon mots has left riverdale's populace terrified of and vulnerable to scalp-based insults. jughead digs out his backup beanie. veronica takes to wearing chic head scarves. betty wears her old wig again. no one feels safe. things come to a head when archie is forced to wear a baseball cap during his evening jog. in covering up his hair he negates the one built-in reflective surface he relies on to not get hit by cars in the dark. a small child cycles past him, not noticing he's there, and accidentally clips him in the ankle. it really hurts. he could have fallen and scraped his knee, or worse; his hands, which he uses for punching. when veronica finds out about archie's near-death experience the next day she decides that enough is enough. she waits for cheryl to initiate a conversation with her in public and after a few moments frowns, seemingly concerned. "what is it, vee? have i confused you? why does that puzzled brow mar your beautiful countenance so?" cheryl asks sweetly (condescendingly) from roughly a foot above veronica. "cheryl," veronica says in a low voice (though not low enough for those around them not to overhear) "i can see right up your nose, and..." (here she pauses for dramatic effect. everyone in the immediate vicinity leans in closer) "...you have a booger." cheryl flees the scene, escaping the sound of uproarious laughter around her. the next time the gang sees her, she's walking on her own two feet. she declares it's because she's missed the sounds of her high heels clicking on the marble floors of thornhill but people know the truth. the town is free, once again, to walk around with their heads hatless and unconstrained. the next time archie goes for a run at night, a passing car with its highbeams on catches archie's hair at such an angle that it bounces back onto the car's windshield and momentarily blinds the driver, causing a small accident. archie doesn't notice though, because he has his headphones in, listening to a podcast episode about the history of Well Water Hysteria.

Fun Facts / Things to know

Lilah has always been observant and aware of her surroundings, even as a child she could recall details about places she'd been and people she'd met briefly.

Lilah is a coffee connoisseur. She has a deep appreciation for coffee and considers it an essential part of her daily routine. While she has her favorite roasts, bean type, and variety of order, when it comes down to it, she's not picky. Coffee is coffee and bad coffee is better than no coffee.

Lilah does not have a lot of dating experience. Once her father died, she closed herself off for a few years, and then turned her focus on the job. She takes great pride in her work and has never regretted her choice.

Lilah generally enjoys detective shows but she can't figure out if she likes the shows or just critiquing them and pointing out errors or ways the detective could have done something differently.

Lilah loves the show Psych. She thinks its outrageously ridiculous but that some how makes it even better. She doesn't even bother trying to critique it, she just went along for the ride. She does at time ask herself "how many hats are in the room?" or a similarly appropriate question to keep her mind sharp and actively observing her surroundings.

Lilah is allergic to fresh pineapple.

Lilah loves puzzles and mind teasers.

Veronica Mars: Season Four (2019)

Format: A single season of a live-action TV show.

Director: Michael Lehmann, Michael Fields, Joaquin Sedillo, Rachel Goldberg, Scott Winant, Tessa Blake, and Amanda Marsalis.

Writers: Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero-Wright, Heather V. Regnier, David Walpert, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Raymond Obstfeld.

Is J.K. Simmons in this? In every episode, yes.

Who does he portray? Clyde Pickett, an ex-convict and sort of personal assistant to one of the town's rich scumbags.

What does he do? A bunch of things that look extremely shady and probably illegal. Interestingly enough, although there are cruel and violent people on the show, I'd argue that nothing he does would push him into outright moustache-twirling villainy. It's more of a subtle menace.

How bald is he? His head is extraordinarily hairless. Not that it matters much, as for the majority of his time onscreen he wears a dorky little pork-pie hat.

Is anybody else in this? Yes, and it's a good thing. This character needs other people to be skeevy with.

Is it worth seeing if I’m not a J.K. Simmons completist? The whole series is, I'd say. It does a good job of balancing mystery of the week plots with overarching stories. My big issue is that I don't always agree with the show's take on an issue, and I wish it made more overt attempts to challenge the worldview of its protagonist.

As to this season specifically, it does draw on characters and relationships from the previous season, but I don't think it's inhospitable to people who want to watch it first.

#Veronica Mars#EXTREMELY good tag addition/assessment of their dynamic#the thing is that even when they hated each other they knew each other too well to ever doubt one another#Veronica knows that Logan can go from 0 to 60 violence at the drop of a hat#and Logan knows that when Veronica says she's going to do something she's going to fucking do it#and they both have absolute faith in each other#and it's a level of faith that Logan never has in anyone else his entire life#the blueprint the icons the legends etc

Nikki Haley Throws Her Hat in the 2024 Ring, South Carolina Says, "Hold My Sweet Tea

In the high-stakes poker game of presidential politics, Nikki Haley's pushing all her chips in on the Palmetto State, hoping to win big with a South Carolina royal flush. But here's the kicker—since Haley left the governor's mansion, South Carolina's been cozying up to another player, the one and only card shark of Mar-a-Lago. Looks like it's going to be a showdown at the GOP corral, and the home crowd might just be rooting for the other cowboy. Oh folks, buckle up, because it looks like South Carolina is turning into the WWE SmackDown of Republican politics, and the main event? None other than Nikki Haley going toe-to-toe with the human Twitterstorm himself, Donald Trump. That's right, the Palmetto State, where the sweet tea is as strong as the political allegiances, is now the battleground for Haley's 2024 dreams. Now, remember when Haley, as the governor, was like the cool substitute teacher who let you chew gum in class? Well, she threw her hat into the presidential ring faster than you can say "bless your heart," betting all her boiled peanuts on a South Carolina win. But hold your horses, because her home state's political compass has swung righter than a pendulum in a hurricane, thanks to—you guessed it—Trump. It's like watching a soap opera, really. Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster, who probably thought Trump's "The Art of the Deal" was the new Bible, endorsed him back in 2016 right in Haley's backyard. Talk about a knife to the back or more like a tweet to the ego. And now, the same folks who put Haley in the governor's mansion are practically building a golden escalator for Trump's return. And let's not forget Senator Lindsey Graham, who once thought Trump would be the end of the GOP, is now snuggled up so close to him you'd think they were sharing a sleeping bag on a camping trip. The local bigwigs—lieutenant governor, attorney general, treasury secretary, and a choir of congressmen—are all singing "Stand by Your Trump." But Haley's not waving the white flag just yet. She's rallying the troops, calling on every pearl-clutching, sweet tea-sipping supporter to remember the good ol' days when she was the fresh face of the Tea Party movement. She's out there trying to convince everyone she's the political phoenix ready to rise from South Carolina's smoldering ashes, while Trump is drawing crowds so big you'd think they were giving away free barbecue. And then there's the soap opera twist! You've got Michael Burgess, a "never ever, ever Trumper," teaching AP U.S. History by day and lamenting the populist takeover of the Lexington County GOP by night. It's a tale of political heartbreak, shifting allegiances, and the search for the GOP's knight in shining armor—or should we say, knightess? But wait, there's more! Some folks like Allen Olsen feel Haley backstabbed them by not hoisting the Trump banner high enough back in 2016. It's like she took their political love letter and used it as a coaster for her mint julep. Still, there are those like Veronica Wetzel, who's been rocking a "Nikki 2024" hat since what feels like the Stone Age, ready to cast their ballot for Haley. Because in the end, it's not about which Republican can throw the best Twitter jab or host the rowdiest rally—it's about snagging that sweet, sweet victory in November. So as Haley and Trump circle each other in the South Carolina squared circle, with the crowd chanting and the stakes higher than a Myrtle Beach ferris wheel, one thing's for sure: this political showdown is hotter than a Lowcountry boil in July. And we're all just waiting to see who'll be left standing when the dust settles and the last "y'all" echoes through the air. SOURCE: Nikki Haley has bet her 2024 bid on South Carolina. But much of her home state leans toward Trump https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-donald-trump-south-carolina-56c0ceb5b1b93a46df87e9e88342f7f2 Read the full article

Excerpt from yet unnamed addition to The Great Pines of Neptune series:

School starts for the Fab Four as normally as Lilly will allow it. The other three are subjected to their self anointed leader holding court to direct actions for the week, setting expectations early so there isn’t any mistake who is in charge. She is a year ahead after all.

Logan glances over at Veronica who is averting her eyes to her hands, suppressing a smile at her boyfriend. It still feels so new and exciting to him mainly because it’s only been a few weeks. Also, the sneaking around the Kanes to hide their relationship makes their time alone all that more precious. And hot.

[jadelotusflower]

Killing off a character for shock value will never, ever be edgy and bold, it’s lazy and the easy way out.

Character! Development! Is! More! Interesting! Than! Death!

about me™

I decided between one thing and the other, it was time to make a new version of my “what could you reasonably expect from this blog” post. Since it’s my birthday, here it is!

[edited on 01/01/2024]

General stuff

-Anon is open, for now; don’t abuse it, and follow the usual “don’t be an asshole” guideliness. I don’t post anon hate (unless I think it would be really funny of me to do so), so I suggest you don’t bother sending it.

-I block at the drop of a hat. The main reasons are usually bigotry and conservative rhetoric, general assholery (especially on the tags I track), and noticing someone blocked me first (I don't want you to reblog my posts if I can't reply to you or even see anything you add to them).

-In my pinned posts you can see a few links of interest (this post, my edits or fics, my author newsletter, etc.).

-I add image descriptions to everything in my blog (for my original posts, I usually use alt text). Feel free to send me an ask if I ever miss anything.

-I’m an Opinionated Person and I sometimes post negativity™ just for the sake of bitching (which I consider different from general, grounded criticism and the like). It’s all tagged with “bitter lau tag”, and “antiX for ts” tags, X being a fandom/character/ship. I.e. “antidelena for ts”; “antidamonsalvatore for ts”. That way it doesn't appear on main searches for those things. In general, I’m an exhaustive tagger, so filtering anything shouldn’t be a problem; and of course, you can always ask me to tag something specific I might've missed in order to filter it.

Fandoms

I’m very multifandom, but I'm prone to have one or two hyperfixations at the forefront. Sometimes they're new favourites, but more often than not they're old favourites that get their claws back on me.

-Main fandoms:

DCU. My interests in this very large fandom are diversified, but my entry point of obsession is often Jason Todd in particular and the Bat Cult Clan in general. Add some Young Justice, Gotham, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, the early DCEU, various female characters of dubious moral qualities, multiple teamups and adaptations and elseworlds… I always return to this world, basically. My primary area interest is the post-crisis/new earth comics continuity, but I dabble in many others.

-

Some of my favourite shows: Angel & BTVS, Attack on Titan, Black Sails, Desperate Housewives, Dollhouse, Killjoys, MARVEL’S Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nikita, Person of Interest, Reign, Scandal, Severance, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Good Wife, The Sopranos, The Vampire Diaries & Co, The Wire, Underground, Veronica Mars, Xena: Warrior Princess.

Some of my favourite films: the Alien franchise, Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus, Batman Returns, Black Swan, Blancanieves (2012), Colombiana, D.E.B.S., El verdugo, Jennifer’s Body, Jupiter Ascending, Lust Caution, Mulan, Pan’s Labyrinth, Practical Magic, The Handmaiden, The Lion in Winter, The Mask of Zorro, The Terminator (1 & 2).

Some of my favourite authors: Agatha Christie, Ana María Matute, Angela Carter, Camilla Andrew, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Daphne du Maurier, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Miguel Hernández, Philip Pullman, Shirley Jackson, Terry Pratchett, Ursula K. Le Guin.

Other favourite books: Beauty and the Beast (Madame de Villeneuve), Carmilla, Dangerous Liaisons, Frankenstein, El cordero carnívoro, Fuenteovejuna, His Dark Materials, Hymn to Demeter, Medea, Pygmalion, Rebecca, The Essence of the Equinox, the Seven Kingdoms series, We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

Some other favourite comics: IDW (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, Dark Spaces), Image (Monstress, Paper Girls, Saga), Iron Man (Fatal Frontier, Doomquest, Legacy of Doom, vol 1. & 3).

Favourite music artists: Aaliyah, Amistades Peligrosas, Amy Winehouse, Ani DiFranco, Antonio Vivaldi, Bear McCreary, Christopher Beck, Clint Mansell, Dessa, Ennio Morricone, Fiona Apple, FKA twigs, Florence + the Machine, Georges Bizet, Hole, Julie London, Kate Bush, Mägo de Oz, Mirel Wagner, Montserrat Caballé, Nancy Sinatra, Nina Simone, Peggy Seeger, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Queen, Richard Wagner, Serguéi Serguéievich Prokófiev, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Pretty Reckless, Tracy Chapman.

Other interests: art history, creative writing, photography, history, historiography, languages, criminal and international law, orcas, owls… countless others.

[deanwasalwaysbi]

I was just curious if in all the metaing for the finale, if anyone explored why the heck Bobby made a specific point to mention Rufus and Aretha (Franklin???) and John and Mary. Dean didn't have any sort of emotional attachment to Rufus that I can remember so was Rufus a mirror for someone or what the heck????

That’s a pretty interesting point. I haven’t heard anything.  Why they gotta rope Aretha into this sh*tshow of a finale?  There are just so so many characters we never got any resolution on and yet here we are with an ending for a character that died in season 6?

I think that the short and real answer, now that you’ve pointed out the question, is that Rufus was Bobby’s best friend so it makes sense that he would live near him and bring him up. On the other hand, though, we don’t get even a single mention from Bobby about his literal wife.

So... If you want to try on this tinfoil hat: If the writers wanted to stage a silent protest to make a forced ending more obvious to fans - or - make a fan base extra upset that there was no resolution for MAJOR characters, and in fact about 20 major characters, one way to do it might be to spend time highlighting a resolution for a character whose ending was settled a literal decade ago.  In the process they could even make it clear that they have the ability to weave character resolution into the story regardless of covid restrictions but they chose not to.  For example they could tell us about Rufus’s after life but not give us any resolution at all for say, Jody Mills or Eileen to the point that the audience doesn’t even definitively know whether they are alive or dead. You know, in theory.

It would fit with other things the writers and creative team did in this episode and season that make me suspect they were throwing shade on the ending and eventually the final two episodes.  (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (x) (this isn’t even all of it x).

Maybe they even thought if we are really unsatisfied and kick up enough dirt that maybe they could eventually get a fix it miniseries like Veronica Mars.  There is no way, however, that anyone could have suspected how much dirt we could and would actually end up moving 3 months after the finale. 

(There are also those that ship the two of them if anyone wants to go off there)
