#dystopian actually

[meet-me-in-the-pouringrain]

Paget Brewster (an actress who has been in the business since the early 90s) just tweeted out that she was paid $990 for Criminal Minds Evolution that was broadcasted across SEVENTY countries what the fuck?? FUCK HOLLYWOOD AND TV EXECS!!

Support The WGA, Support SAG- AFTRA. Actors and Writers are humans too.

Edit : Right everyone I read this wrong coz i’m a bit of a dumbass. @storiesofsvu and @blackbird-brewster both commented and corrected it! Pls read the comments and reblogs of this before taking my word for it, she didn’t get paid $990 for CME. It was *residuals* over the entire series.

[i-never-shut-up-ever]

just a reminder that no book/movie series will ever be on the level that the hunger games was. the hunger games was THE blueprint. it paved the way for the entire genre of teen dystopian novels/series. every other YA dystopian series wishes it was what the hunger games was. i could go into heavy detail about this. i can recite the entire movie series and the books from memory.

#the hunger games #thg #ya novels #young adult #dystopian novel #hunger games #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #finnick odair #katniss and peeta #don’t even get me started on katniss everdeen being my favorite fictional character ever #and peeta mellark’s entire character actually

brittany broski saying that being asked to ‘address the situation in the middle east’ is ‘dystopian’ and ‘like a black mirror episode’ is insane to me like I’m sorry self-proclaimed feminist and activist, you can bawl at the barbie movie but caring about the living breathing women and girls in palestine is complete ABSURDITY?

#you know what’s dystopian……… watching countless people die on our phones while we lie in bed and our governments do nothing #no actually they actively fund the whole thing #but sure okay #the video was so resentful too. just gross #idk why I’m mad this isn’t the least bit surprising

[monachopsis-11]

I find it very funny when people think that dystopian fiction is a warning for imaginary future issues that could arise and not a commentary on the very real very current failings of governments and society as a whole. And obviously it’s exaggerated because it’s fiction but the point is to sensationalize the absolutely insane things that are actually happening and typically get dismissed because of privilege or a desire to ignore/an inability to comprehend the true state of the world. This is particularly true for those of us that are disadvantaged in some way.

lucy & lockwood would 100% get married in the middle of a job while fighting a ghost a la will and elizabeth in potc and george would 100% be ordained bc he knows his dumbass friends very well & is prepared

girl who got hit with one of those super well-known overplayed songs that lost their punch over time until you listen to it one day and they just fucking bulldoze you

#mad world (tears for fears version) came on and i actually had to sit back and realise just how insane this song is #i find it kinda FUNNY i find it kinda SAD the dreams in which im DYING are the BEST IVE EVER HAD #i find it hard to TELL YOU cause i find it hard to TAKE when people run in CIRCLES it's a very very MAD WORLDDDDDD #tears for fears are so good ive listened to their music so much that i forget they're actually good #it's like they make music specifically for my brain to conjure dystopian depressing ass edits #dont get me started on everybody wants to rule the world. love what lorde did with it but the original is actually more haunting imo

[heart-forge]

honestly my view of cities is so deeply skewed it's like the one point at which I know one day I'm gunna write something that sounds insane to someone who lives somewhere with a population of over 500k. I went from a farming county to a city by technicality and I still struggle to picture a stretch of city without significant green space.

#talkForge #this to say I suggested that tahira turned the scooter lock that doesn't exist into a snake which then slithered off into the bushes #but I was like wait. am I picturing this dystopian city as nicer than what actually exists because I think cities should have green space #but also I want to reassure people the snlock is fine

I once saw a post headcanon that the spn finale was all just deans heaven, not sams. It was what dean wanted for sam, we don't even know if it was what sam wanted anymore. It would explain why we never got a clear picture of the wife or even saw her again after the blurry scene of her, dean would have only cared about sam and any children that came from him. In reality, maybe sam lead a very different life after deans death, and maybe that really was him on the heaven bridge to meet dean, or maybe it was just a projection of him that deans heaven conjured up

I do like this better than canon’s frankly very superficial and romanticized ending bc right, sam having a perfect “apple-pie life” with a perfect american wife and a perfect american kid he named after his dead brother is very much Dean Winchester Fantasy that of course could have never come to pass while he was alive - dean needed to die for that to happen, but it just… it simply couldn’t have been as rose-tinted as that montage made it seem, after everything sam had been through by the time dean died. early s8 was the last time sam tried fighting for a way out of the hunter life and he got punished for it over and over again. late-seasons sam is all “I realized how wrong I was every time I Ran Away” and “this life is Right for me but I can’t do it without my brother” - he stays tethered to it for dean and dean alone. once dean is dead for good (ultimately of his own volition might I add - it’s not even a question whether sam will try bringing him back against his will bc that treatment is reserved for sam whose body belongs to dean as long as he’s alive) it suddenly becomes acceptable for sam to live for himself as opposed to for their Heroic Mission.

ough the idea that the sam joining dean in heaven was just a mirage of him….. delicious. bc dean is happiest when sam fits neatly into the Baby Brother skin he mostly outgrew ages ago anyway!!!! however I also like the idea of actual sam joining him there but really not fitting into the whole bizarre tableau (john and mary are there too Jesus Christ) and reacting so badly that jack and/or cas have to step in. like, heaven is rejecting him bc he’s a foreign object type beat (cue sam’s old religious guilt)

I’m gonna wrap my head around it eventually! I get overwhelmed when I think abt it too hard lmao. TL;DR it makes me feel sick and I want to share that feeling w/ the class by exploring it thru fic 💕

#btw the actual reason sam’s wife was blurry is the same reason we got the White Nightgowns #and mary and jess as nothing but twin plot devices until mary’s resurrection: #lazy misogyny. lmao #ALSO #heaven 2.0 (jack and cas edition) is less dystopian maze of mirrors keeping u sedated with #an endless loop of algorithmically chosen memories #but it IS architected by a child. lol. most powerful being in the universe sure but also a traumatized child #with only his nonhuman father to bounce ideas off of #much to unpack there as well. #tag vomit #asks #anon #spn

Hey, I don’t usually make my own posts on here, but I really need to share this information.

If you are an Apple User, please DO NOT SCROLL.

I had a phone call today to move a dentist appointment. It was a simple phone call, moving it from a date I could no longer do, to a later date that would work.

My phone overheard this verbal, VERBAL, conversation and, when I opened my calendar to delete the old date and move it, automatically suggested the exact time and date said over the phone.

This was not written down anywhere, it was the very first thing I did after the phone call ended. It could not have obtained this information anywhere else.

I don’t know what exactly did this, or if it’s something that can even be turned off it settings. I think it may be “Learn From This App” under Siri, or it could be part of an update. If anyone does know or finds out, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING. I’ve tried to search for what it could be but it’s not giving me anything.

Regardless, I will now be looking for a new phone, since this seems like it could only be a blatant misuse of AI. If my phone is listening to my calls, God knows what else it’s listening to. Or even watching me type.

Be safe, everyone. And fuck Apple.

#i was upset when I got an apple phone #now I’m downright pissed. what the fuck #i’m actually shaking #this is a dystopian hell #also I put tape over my camera just in case #apple #apple phone #ai #possible ai #apple ai #apple siri #siri #literally tagging this with anything that can reach people #phone ai #phone #siri ai

missing Kidnapped by the fae moments (dunno if u still create for it) so here i am asking for some crumbs

Okay so you know the fae probably Went Hard on stuff like the summer and the winter solstice. Even though time moved differently over there.

So when the boys are back in the human realm, there's a bit of an adjustment. For one, LA doesn't have seasons the way the fairy realm did. And Reggie and Luke came from places in the US where winter was a thing, so they're kind of adjusting too. Though Luke is pretty fine with it, since he wears a beanie and no sleeves no matter what.

Willie and Reggie kind of miss the snow. I think Willie didn't care much for snow until Caleb stole Luke, who taught him the Joys Of Snowball Fights and Snow Men and Sledding.

Snowball fights were very much only a 'Caleb and the other fae are Out Hunting' thing after the first time a snowball went wide and hit one of the fae it was Not A Fun Time For Luke And Willie for several months.

So yeah, the boys are lamenting how they miss snow and sledding. Making sand-men on the beach is just not the same. Throwing sand at each other is Bad actually.

But, they get the bright idea, they could totally make a sled out of two skateboards and some cardboard, right?

Ray has a Very Bad Day after that. At least there were no broken bones this time but Reggie's on crutches for a week (it should have been more, but well, the boys aren't fully human yet) and Willie is Grounded from Skateboarding for just as long. Ray didn't even take his skateboard away, he just used the 'I'm not mad just disappointed' voice and explained it was unfair if Willie could skate when Reggie couldn't even walk

First time Reggie tried to walk through a wall with his crutches (what? his hands were full and doors are hard to open like that!) he went through fine... the crutches did not.

The boys do embrace other parts of the season, though.

Alex and Reggie really like baking. It's soothing, the steps are all laid out, everything smells nice, and there's food at the end. Julie and Ray and Carlos supervise the first few times just to make sure they understand the oven, but after that, they have free reign.

Reggie is the one who discovers the TikTok Baking Twink and starts trying more out there recipes. Some of which, Alex put his foot down to say no. He already lived through the horrific things that did with aspics and pineapple once, thank you. He has no need to relive it.

Luke of course is obsessed with modern Christmas music. Because he hasn't heard it seventeen billion times before, he really loves 'All I want For Christmas Is You' and he sings it to Julie once, really sincerely. Julie is utterly charmed.

He doesn't get why Flynn laughs at them.

When they try to explain Santa to Willie, he just nods sagely. Ah yes, he says, like the fae. You leave him offerings, he decides if you are a good person or a bad person, and rewards or punishes you as he sees fit. And he uses magic.

They are all very creeped out about Santa after that.

Willie does love the idea of gifts, though. Being raised by fairies, he has a very warped relationship with them, but when they explain that you get people you care about gifts for Christmas, he is all on board. Especially when Flynn introduces him to Sparkly Wrapping Paper.

(Yes, Ray has a conversation with Willie that if he wants things from stores, he must use money to buy them and not ask his crow friends to steal it.)

When Willie starts leaving them gifts, it's at random, in the weirdest places. But the right person always discovers them.

It starts normal enough, with some Fun Socks for Alex. Julie gets some sparkly glitter pens. Flynn gets some really weird soda she's never heard of before that has the same effect as seven sodas.

Luke and Reggie get rocks he found that look like a guitar pick and a dog, respectively. They are just as touched and excited as the others, though.

Carlos gets a videogame. It's a game that isn't supposed to be out until next year. Ray is starting to get a headache but Willie earnestly tells him it's not from a store.

Ray gets sweets he loves and misses from Puerto Rico. He has never mentioned these in front of Willie or any of the kids. He knows for certain they're not available in the states. He is scared to ask.

The gifts only get weirder but just as heartfelt from there. Food appears while Julie is studying that she didn't even realise she was craving. Sheet music for long-forgotten songs Luke only remembers snippets of.

Dogs appear whenever Reggie is sad, and once he's cheered up, they happily trot off to wherever they came from. Ray keeps checking the local facebook pages but nobody seems to notice their missing dogs.

Ray is almost relieved when Christmas comes around because hopefully it will stop the ever-increasingly-weird gifts.

He sits through the kids opening their stockings first. His new 'foster kids' are very easy to buy for, because there's so much they've never had and they appreciate just about everything. And yes maybe he did get them all little puzzles in the hopes of distracting them long enough that he can have a quiet afternoon.

Thankfully, the gifts on Christmas seem pretty normal. He maybe gets a little teary-eyed at the World's Best Dad mug the kids all got him together. And everything was bought in stores with money, just like Willie promised Ray.

Until the solid gold barbecue tongs.

This ai generated images thing got me considering a double w psychology instead of plastic arts ngl

#im terrified #like actually #i was scared before but now im terrified #at a crossroads rn #ughh #either i can do a double w design and psychology and have an escape plan lined up in case the creative industry becomes dystopian #or i can double down on art and hope im good enough of an artist not to get replaced by a machine

#do the people who write/edit/publish/approve these articles not hear how insanely dystopian this sounds... #capitalism #reminder this is not a free market #in fact the USA is only rated around the 25th least govt regulated market #and isn't it convenient #how it's the ultrawealthy corporate lobbying groups who are able to influence much of what regulations the USA DOES have 🙄 #groups like ALEC that are comically evil - like straight up cartoon villains #Cruella de Vil irl type shit #and they just WRITE LAWS that will make them richer at the expensive of all the rest #and essentially legally bribe the actual so-called lawmakers to push their bills through #that isn't democracy... obviously #turns out the invisible hand is just a giant goddamn middle finger. shocking. #capitalism as a theoretical concept relies on the idea that transactions will be entirely or at least predominantly voluntary #and that both parties in the transaction will act out of self interest #but somehow everyone making transactions out of pure self interest and nothing more #ends up working to the benefit of society on the whole #which doesn't really hold water to begin with but gets even more laughable when you take into account that #it falls apart at stage 1 when you realize transactions can't be truly voluntary if #one party is struggling for survival and the other just wants a 7th yacht
