'George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece “1984” is getting a new audio-only treatment from Audible.

The Audible original audio drama, set to premiere April 4, stars Andrew Garfield (“Tick, Tick…Boom,” “The Amazing Spider-Man”) as Winston alongside Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked,” “Harriet”) as Julia. They are joined by Tom Hardy (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight Rises”) as the voice of Big Brother and Andrew Scott (“All of Us Strangers,” “Fleabag”), who plays the mysterious and dangerous O’Brien...

Audible’s “1984” is directed by BAFTA-winner Destiny Ekaragha (“Ted Lasso,” “The End of the F***ing World”) and written by Joe White (“Blackout Songs,” “The Little Big Things”). According to Audible, the adaptation remains faithful to the original text, “leaning into the horror of the dystopian setting, whilst going deeper into Winston and Julia’s love story,” the company said. “In a world where love and sex are forbidden, Winston and Julia are the last lovers on Earth.”

Ekaragha said in a statement, “This is my first experience directing an audio drama, and what an honor it was to work so closely with a cast of this caliber. I can’t wait for everyone to hear what Andrew, Cynthia and Tom have done with these iconic characters.”'

im gonna be honest with you guys i have been hyperfixating on the joker 2 disaster recently. ive been watching every single video about it i can find i am obsessed with how insane this flop has been. however some notes i wanna put out that i haven't seen discussed in the 700 youtube videos i've watched:

i understand t-dd ph-ll-ps doesn't like dc comics but i think more people should probably be bringing up the weirdness of turning harley quinn (who, since her inception, has been a victim of the joker) into the one manipulating him and making him evil

is it like. disrespectful??? to just throw the glasglow smile in at the end?? considering heath ledger died??? i ask this genuinely i like. don't know. i know christopher nolan didn't want it to happen so like i'm thinking it was kind of a dick move regardless but

being someone who likes musicals, it's really funny seeing people saying "this movie was bad bc the last one got to steal from taxi driver and this one has nothing to steal from" as if it's not definitely stealing from chicago. which could run circles around it in terms of plot, character, design, musical numbers,

the last thing i wanna note is it is SO funny that a bunch of publications are trying to push this failure onto "nobody likes musicals" when wicked is about to come out and win one elphabillion dollars

[stressfulsloth]

I've seen a couple of takes about Disco Elysium being copaganda going around recently, and beyond the fact that DE is relentlessly critical of the police force in general and makes explicit reference to the failures of the system that allow the officers in game to abuse their power, I also think it's important to note that there very literally is an in-world version of copaganda that the writers of the game use to parody that romanticised view of the brutality of policing. The RCM at their inception were structurally inspired by in-world copaganda- their culture, their "fashions, even weapon preferences, borrow heavily from classic Vespertine cop shows." Every investigation is it's own little drama, every officer imagining themselves to be the bad-ass hero of their own crime serial. Detectives name their cases like they're naming episodes of a TV series in a "robust but literary system"; a title that "draws inspiration from snoop fiction and Vespertine cop show staples". They give themselves nicknames to sound like cool, suave fictional officers- Ace, Dick Mullen, etc.- from the cool, suave world of copaganda.

The legend of the RCM's inception, the "point of contention" over its uncertain origins, is even an extention of that; the whole organisation is shrouded in this self-fictionalising mythos that allows for distance that in turn obfuscates much of its violence to the officers that participate in it. They get to convince themselves that they're not abusing their power; they're the hero of the story! The dichotomy of "good guy" taking out the "baddies," a manifestation of the libertarian fantasy of the "good guy with a gun" who does what it takes, just like in Annette's detective novels, and at the same time who rails against oversight bodies like Internal Affairs/'the rat squad' because due process slows down the immediate satisfaction of Swift Justice, despite Internal Affairs existing to protect the citizens from overreach on behalf of the police. "Wanton brutality" from police in their real world is a cold bitter reality but Dick Mullen was "made to crack skulls," "bend the rules and solve cases no one else can," and which version of that story is more comforting to the overworked, underfunded officers of the RCM?

The level of fantasy and detachment required for the cops to still see themselves as the good guys after everything that they do in the line of duty mimics The Pigs and her breakdown too; she parallels Harry so clearly. Both "did right by the kids" in the past, hoping for a better future- Marianne (The Pigs) by looking out for Titus and the Hardy boys when they were young, Harry in his role as a gym teacher. Both abandoned and left behind by the system that the RCM uphold- a brutal capitalist landscape with no safety nets. Both turning the source of their trauma into a costume, a performance, a shield, shaped by "radio waves and cop shows." The Pigs uses RCM items scavenged from the Esperance where they'd been thrown away, while Harry uses the Dick Mullen hat that Annette gives him but both are essentially in costume.

Harry identifies himself with the fictional detective as a kind of wish fulfilment; Dick Mullen is "wicked smart." He doesn't fuck up his cases and when he's sad it's not pathetic; it's effortlessly cool brooding and everyone sympathises. Everyone loves him. His violence- "skull crack[ing]"- is justified because he's a "good guy" enacting that violence against the victims of police brutality sorry "bad guys". He doesn't ever face repercussions; "Dick Mullen won't be sent to the clink for the sake of some legal niceties!" So if Harry is Dick Mullen then his failures, his breakdown, they're all just a part of being a "bad-ass, on-the-edge disco cop." He's not wrong, he's a hero! This idealised fictionalised idea of the police force, this "new, sadly better, reality" that both Harry and The Pigs cling to is "escapist stuff," "receed[ing] into a ludicrous fantasy world," so far removed from the brutal material reality that they're in.

My point is, idk. Disco Elysium is so far from being copaganda. It is a multi-million word long dissection of it, of the purpose of policing, of state sanctioned violence and its interaction with capital and the fallout experienced within the wider community as well as the trauma cycle created for individual officers. A dissection of how copaganda interacts with RCM culture and perception, and by extension how we interact with irl perceptions of police through that lens.

Sharing with Aegon & Aemond

Part of Kinktober 2024

"You've started without me," Aemond says with disappointment as he enters your chambers. The three of you always use your chambers, for it it midways between your brothers'.

Aegon laughs, the sound reverberating from his chest through you as he drapes himself atop you, thrusting into you more enthusiastically than he does anything else in his life. "Well, she is my wife."

Aemond scowls, but when you raise your head to look at him, it fades slightly, his pupil dilating from the sight of you enraptured in bliss. "She is my twin," he counters.

"You say that as if it is somehow the stronger claim," Aegon laughs. "But unfortunately for you, dear brother, I... oh fuck, haedar!" He is distracted from his own blustering as you push back into his hips, clenching your cunt as tight as you can.

With a wicked smile at Aemond, you finally speak. "Less bickering, please, brothers. It is too early in the night." It seems that they silently resolve that not saying anything is preferred to taking the risk of angering you enough to possibly banish them from your chambers, so you allow yourself to drift back into your pleasure as Aemond begins to peel off his leathers.

The power to control your brothers so well is only one of the perks of this little arrangement, beyond the obvious carnal pleasures. After all, that was part of the reasons for its inception, your desire to curb your husband's habit of sneaking out of the castle to visit the Street of Silk. "If you will not fuck your wife properly, then I will," Aemond had declared in a fit of anger upon once more returning Aegon to you after one of his drunken escapades.

At once, you and Aegon smiled at him, saying in unison, "Prove it." So Aemond had. Then, not to be outdone, Aegon had taken you with an enthusiasm you had never known. And thus began your twice (or was it thrice?) unholy union.

Tonight, Aegon had grown impatient, and for the first time, taken the initiative to fuck you without your twin present. While it was Aemond you truly loved, you cannot not deny your elder brother is the more experienced, and you find yourself somewhat grateful for his prior infidelity.

But even his superior techniques are nothing compared to the way Aemond looks at you, with more than just lust in his gaze. Nor the way he so gently cups your cheek as he kneels before you on the bed, gently coaxing your mouth open to take his cock.

"Dōnus idañus," he murmurs as he begins to rock his hips in time with Aegon's thrusts. "Ñuhos idañus." Sweet twin. My twin.

Aegon moves faster, his breath quickening and deepening. "Ñuhos ābrazȳrys," he spits back.

Bickering in High Valyrian is still bickering, you suppose. But as Aegon's hand finds your pearl and Aemond strokes your hair, you decided you can allow the bickering, just for tonight.

This really funny

Stephanie Sterling calls em Fandom Appropriators: a bunch of guys who swell into a fandom insisting that they are the true fans of whatever pisses them off that week. Like all those guys that showed up to Veilguard complaining about racial diversity and LGBTQ representation....things Dragon Age has had since it's literal inception. Or all the Wicked "fans" screaming about Elphaba being played by a black actress when a) stage is usually colorblind and b) it's literally a story about a woman being discriminated against for her skin color.
