Between Quiet on Set and I'm Glad my Mom Died (which I know has already been out for over a year but is rightfully still making an impact), I am encouraging you all to listen to Alyson Stoner's podcast Dear Hollywood, which I've not seen get nearly as much attention on Tumblr as it deserves. It is the deepest dive you can imagine into the shitshow that is the child acting world. Quiet on Set focuses only on stuff that happened in the studio and the actions of people working on set (fuck Brian Peck), and I'm Glad my Mom Died is obviously only Jennette McCurdy's personal experiences, but Dear Hollywood explores pretty much every single detail of the fucked up situation child actors find themselves in, from the studios, to parents, to us, the fans.

Listen with caution, because they share quite a few harrowing experiences, but it's an incredibly important listen if you want to understand more about this topic. Especially since there seems to be a new generation of child actors becoming popular on Tumblr, what with the Percy Jackson TV show and the live action Avatar.

Watching Alyson Stoner's Dear Hollywood podcast is real good and interesting but episode 07 hit a bit too close to home for me.

I wish I had taken pictures. I wish I had saved the videos. I wish I didn’t destroy everything I had back then, everything that would’ve showed me who I was and what roads I’ve traveled.

I don’t remember the past all that well. I don’t remember yesterday all that well either. I think that maybe it’s better this way. But I wish I had the pictures, just to show me that it was real. I wish I had the videos so that I could stop forgetting their voices. I suppose I wish I had a lot of things.

I don’t miss my past. I can’t imagine missing my past. It was a vile place for a child. It was violent and terrifying. It has never been a refuge. But I do miss my memories. I wish I could see what teenage me saw as they walked Hollywood Boulevard alone in the middle of the night. And I wish I could hear what teenage me heard as they were being thrashed around a garage show mosh pit. But most of all, I wish I could feel what it felt like to be someone that wasn’t me.

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: In the final duel of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), not only does Guy aim for Robin's subscapular artery, but there's a moment where Robin thinks he might have hit it.

#dear long-dead and legendary fight choreographer: I JUST WANT TO TALK #i have been putting together a bibliography and brooding about this all morning #like #they did not have to be that specific!#not only does gisborne make that short vicious lunge for the unprotected place #but robin reaches to stanch his own wound because he knows that might be all that will buy him time to end this #only when he *doesn't* find his own blood pouring over his fingers does he drop his other hand #old hollywood #the adventures of robin hood 1938 #queue

Reading other Swiftie’s opinions and speculations makes me feel convinced that I’m one of the only people who listens and understands Taylor’s music.

Because what do you mean you interpret a “head shake” during a song as evidence that Joe cheated? Besides, Taylor is the queen of cheating and she has so many songs about it. Do you even listen to her?

Also weird how her fans put her on a purity pedestal when she has admitted to being a flawed person. Have any of these people listened to Dear Reader or Anti-Hero or The Archer? Taylor has admitted that Anti-Hero is one of her most honest songs. The fact that she directly references her narcissism in the lyrics makes this even more meaningful.

Her confession that she’s a narcissist also shouldn’t be surprising because she’s an elite Hollywood Billionaire. She’s not some down-to-earth cabin dweller who could be your best friend.

And this isn’t even touching on concepts like the unreliable narrator.

Sigh. This is another reason why I feel alone in this fandom. People don’t actually listen.
