Actors/Behind the Scenes AU, in which FF16 is a duo/trilogy of movies, and the characters are actors in said movie -
Headcanons that inspired Peppermint and Chocolate Chip (aka, that one Actress!Benedikta fic).
Outside of FF16, Clive is a dork. A quiet but nice guy who likes games. He’s a fan of the FF franchise, and his fave is FF8. (Inspired by Ben Starr talking about his FF experiences. Also I'm projecting.)
Joshua’s two actors are totally attached at the hip. They’re not related but everyone is astounded at the resemblance, no wigs were needed even! And Adult!Joshua adores Kid!Joshua and protects his mini-me with his life. (I'm actually thinking of them both having Joshua as a middle name! Something like Andre Joshua and Allen Joshua. Btw, Adult!Joshua is Clive's actual brother.)
Jill is an indie pop singer. Sometimes busks. She loves everybody! She baked sugar cookies for the cast and crew once. She still burns the oven sometimes, though. Also she takes up kendo to improve her stage action scenes but tells no one of her rank because it’ll scare them (and they’ll make her teach everyone else on set, and that’s a pain). Her favorite FF is 10...... 2.
Benedikta is actually an awkward bean. She IS the hottest thing right now, an it-girl if you will. But she IS an awkward bean off-set, and reality shows exploit this for all they can. Oh, and she’s a big eater. -> This is what became the actual Benna fic
Hugo’s a comedian, actually. He’s also an amazing cook. He and Benedikta get along well. They’re cool besties. He often invites her to his YouTube channel to cook for her.
Barnabas Tharmr: A-list actor. Everyone’s beloved leading man. Very versatile, hot, in-demand. He’s perfect, oh, and he sings too. Confusing af love life. -> Referenced in the Benna fic
Dion’s probably following in Barnabas’ footsteps career-wise. That recent boy-next-door role he played had all the teenage girls want him as a boyfriend. They don’t know that he takes cues from real-life experience, and a real-life boy-next-door that captured his heart. 👀
Oh, Cidolfus Telamon: where to begin? Also another A-list actor, like Barnabas. Action films are his specialty, although you also see him in heavy dramas. All his works are guaranteed hits, no questions asked. His relationship with Barnabas, although professional, currently leaves much to be desired. Rumors abound that he used to have a thing with Benedikta, although both sides deny it. Also The Original Troll on set. He's fun to have on talk shows, but that's only when he feels like showing up.
Terence is Dion's best friend from theater. The original boy-next-door, and Dion's real-life partner. Knows just enough pop culture to get by, so he doesn't understand how he got this role, but if anything good comes out of this it's getting to work alongside Dion again. Greagor knows how long ago their last production together was ever since his love shot to fame on TV/Film. (Oh, if only he knew who suggested him to the director, because "he's good at his craft." 👀)
Sleipnir's that one cocky archetype co-actor you usually see in these kinds of cast ensembles. He's actually nice, though! Just innocently insensitive at times. Terence hates him with a passion, but Sleipnir likes to believe they're Vitriolic Best Buds. (And they actually are. Dion agrees but doesn't dare say it to his bf's face.) He's a horrible troll, just like Cid.
Jote's an adorable Tonberry rookie actress! She briefly had ensemble/swing stints in another theater troupe (Adult!Joshua's, actually), before landing this role. She loves posting pictures of sunflowers. Laments her dark clothes. Looks up to Benedikta despite their only scene together being a violent one. -> Referenced in the Benna fic.
There MAY be a part 2 of these headcanons. If I feel inspired, maybe even an actual fic featuring another character in the same vein as the Benedikta one. Will probably make it an AO3 series when that happens!

It’s almost Yuletide! This will be my 18th Yuletide! My first Yuletide story will be old enough to vote this year and I have some mixed feelings about that! But also I have never missed or defaulted on a Yuletide since, and I have to say I feel pretty proud of that.
I am still pretty far down the Les Misérables rabbit hole (speaking of which, it is not too late to propose programming for Barricades!), and unsurprisingly all the fandoms I'm nominating/requesting this year are set in July Monarchy France--Les Mis canon era: Petit-Cénacle RPF,
Champavert: Contes Cruelles | Champavert: Immoral Tales - Pétrus Borel, and Les Enfants du Paradis | Children of Paradise.
Petit-Cénacle RPF
The Petit-Cénacle was a French Romantic salon, slightly younger and considerably more politically radical than the Cénacle centered on Hugo and Dumas; it included painters and sculptors as well as writers and critics, and most of its members at least dabbled in both written and visual arts. Its best-known members today are Théophile Gautier, Gérard de Nerval, and Pétrus Borel (the Lycanthrope)--the last two are thinly fictionalized in Les Misérables as Jean Prouvaire and Bahorel. (It's debatable how much Grantaire owes to Gautier but it's probably a nonzero amount.)
The group coalesced around Borel and Nerval as the organizers of the Battle of Hernani--a fight between Romantics and classicists at the premiere of Victor Hugo's play Hernani in 1830. Most theater productions at this time had claques--groups of paid supporters of a show or an actor, who were planted in the audience to drum up applause. For Hernani--the first Romantic work staged at the prestigious Comédie-Français, which broke classical norms so thoroughly that it no longer seems at all transgressive--Hugo and the theater management decided they were going to need more than just a claque. They recruited a few of Hugo's fans--Gautier was so star-struck he had to be physically hauled up the stairs to Hugo's apartment--to stage An Event. The fans recruited their friends. They showed up in cosplay, with the play already memorized and callback lines devised. It was basically the Rocky Horror Picture Show of its day. It almost immediately turned into an actual fight, with fists and projectiles flying. And it made Hernani the hottest ticket in Paris.
This is the group's origin story, and they pretty much spent their lives living up to it. They were every bit as extra as you would expect--Nerval allegedly walked a lobster on a leash in the Champs-Elyseés, explaining that "it knows the secrets of the deep, and it does not bark"--but they also stayed friends all their lives, often living together, supporting each other through poverty and mental illness and absurd political upheaval.
I'm nominating Pétrus Borel | Le Lycanthrope, Théophile Gautier, Gérard de Nerval, and Philothée O’Neddy; you could nominate other people like Jehan Duseigneur, Celestin Nanteuil, or the Deverias, or associates of the group like Dumas and Hugo.
The Canon
Gautier's History of Romanticism covers the early days of the group and the Battle of Hernani in some detail. (There is also a 2002 French TV movie, La bataille d'Hernani, which is charming and pretty accurate; hit me up if you want a copy.)
Other than that--this crowd wrote a lot, and they're all very present in their work--even in their fiction, which is shockingly modern in a ton of ways.
For Gautier, Mademoiselle de Maupin has a lot of genderfeels, surprisingly literal landscape porn, and a fursuit sex scene in chapter two.
If you want Nerval's works in English, you might be limited to dead-tree versions, but I highly, highly recommend The Salt Smugglers, a work of metafiction that answers the question, "What if The Princess Bride had been written in 1850 specifically to troll the press censorship laws of Prince President Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte?"
Borel's experimental short story collection Champavert has a new and very good English translation by Brian Stableford and is also my next fandom :D.
Champavert: Contes Immoraux | Champavert: Immoral Tales - Pétrus Borel
Last year I requested Borel RPF but I decided this book was unfanficcable. This year, I am going to have a little more faith in the Yuletide community.
Champavert, available in ebook and dead tree form, is a weird as hell little book and probably the best thing I read last year. It's an experimental short story collection from 1830. Someone on one of my Les Mis Discords described it as "a collection of gothic creepypasta, but the author is constantly clanging pots and pans together and going 'JUST IN CASE you didn't notice, the real horror was colonialism and misogyny all along and i'm very angry about it!'"
And, yeah, pretty much that, with added metafictional weirdness, intense nerding about architecture and regional languages, and the absolute delight that is Borel's righteously ebullient voice.
Borel wrote for a couple of years under the name of The Lycanthrope, and though he kills the alter ego in this book, the name stuck, and would continue to be used by friends and enemies alike all his life. Pretty much everyone who met Pétrus agreed that 1) he was just ungodly hot; 2) he was probably a werewolf, sure, that makes sense; and 3) he was definitely older than he claimed to be, possibly by centuries, possibly just immortal, who knows.
But, like I said, he kills the alter ego in this book: it begins with an introduction announcing that "Pétrus Borel" has been a pseudonym all along, that the Lycanthrope's real name is Champavert--and that the Lycanthrope is dead and these are his posthumous papers, compiled by an unnamed editor; the papers include some of Borel's actual poems and letters, published under his own name. The final story in the collection is called "Champavert, The Lycanthrope," and is situated as an autobiographical story, following a collection of fictional tales--which share thematic elements and, in the frame of the book, start to look like "Champavert"'s attempts to use fiction to come to terms with events of his own life.
And that's probably an oversimplification; this is a dense little book and it's doing a lot.
The subtitle is Contes Immoraux. It's part of a genre of "contes cruelles" (and, content note for. Um. A lot), but it's never gratuitously cruel--it's very consciously interrogating the idea of the moral story, and what sort of morality is encoded in fables, and what it means to set a story where people get what they deserve in an unjust world where that's rarely the case.
I'm nominating the unnamed editor, Champavert, his friend Jean-Louis from the introduction and the final story, and Flava from the final story; you could also nominate characters from the explicitly fictional stories.
Les Enfants du Paradis | Children of Paradise
This is a film made between 1943 and 1945 in Vichy and Occupied France and set...somewhere?...around the July Revolution, probably, I'll get into that :D. There's a DVD in print from Criterion and quite possibly available through your local library system. (And it's streaming on Amazon Prime and the Criterion Channel.)
It's beautifully filmed, with gorgeous sets and costumes and a truly unbelievable number of extras, and some fantastic pantomime scenes. (On stage and off; there's a scene where a henchman attempts to publicly humiliate a mime, and it goes about as well as you would expect.)
"Paradise," in the title, is the equivalent of "the gods" in English--the cheap seats in the topmost tier of a theater. It's set in and around the theaters of the Boulevard du Temple--the area called the Boulevard du Crime, not for the pickpockets outside the theaters but for the content of the melodramas inside them.
The story follows a woman called Garance, after the flower (red madder), a grisette turned artists' model turned sideshow girl turned actress turned courtesan, and four men who love her, some of whom she loves, all of whom ultimately fail to connect with her in the way she needs or wants or can live with.
This sounds like a setup for some slut-shaming garbage. It's not--Garance is a person, with interiority, and the story never blames her for what other people project onto her.
Of those four men, one is a fictional count and the other three are heavily fictionalized real people: the actor Frédérick Lemaître, the mime Baptiste Deburau, and the celebrity criminal Lacenaire. Everyone in this story is performing for an audience, pretty much constantly, onstage or off: reflexively, or deliberately, or compulsively.
Garance's survival skill is to reflect back to people what they want to see of themselves. She never lies, but she shows very different parts of herself to different people. We get the impression that there are aspects of herself she doesn't have much access to without someone else to show them to. Frédérick is also a mirror, in a way that makes him and Garance good as friends and terrible as lovers--an empty hall of mirrors. He's always playing a part--the libertine, the artist, the lover--and mining his actual life and emotions for the sake of his art. Baptiste channels his life into his art as well, but without any deliberation or artifice--everything goes into the character, unfiltered. It makes him a better artist than any of the others will ever be, but his lack of self-awareness is terrifying, and his transparency fascinates Garance and Frédérick, who are more themselves with him than with anyone else. Lacenaire, the playwright turned thief and murderer, seems to no self at all, except when other people are watching. Against the performers are the spectators: the gaze of others--fashion, etiquette, and reputation--personified by Count Mornay; and the internal gaze personified in Nathalie, an actress and Baptiste's eventual wife, who hopes that if they observe the forms of devotion for long enough the feeling will follow.
The time frame is deliberately vague--it's set an idealized July Monarchy where all these people were simultaneously at the most exciting part of their careers. In the real world, Frédérick turned his performance of Robert Macaire into burlesque in 1823, Baptiste's tragic pantomime Le Marrrchand d’Habits! ("The Old-Clothes Seller") played in 1842, and Lacenaire's final murder, for which he is guillotined, is 1832; these all take place in Act II of the movie within about a week of each other.
(Théophile Gautier, mentioned but tragically offstage in the film, was a fan of Baptiste; Le Marrrchand d’Habits! started as Gautier's fanfic--he wrote a fake review of a nonexistent pantomime, and the review became popular enough the Theater des Funambules decided to actually stage it. It only ran for seven performances.)
I am nominating Garance, Frédérick Lemaître, Baptiste Deburau, and Pierre François Lacenaire. You could nominate any of the other characters (Count Mornay, Nathalie, the old-clothes seller Jéricho, Baptiste's father, his landlady, Nathalie's father the Funambules manager). Gautier, regrettably, does not actually appear in the film but you can bet that's going to be one of my prompts.
So, that's one good movie you definitely have time to watch before signups, several good books you probably have time for and that are probably not like whatever else you're reading right now, and one RPF rabbit hole to go down! Please consider taking up any or all of these so that you can write me fanfic about Romantic shenanigans.

It's LeviOusa, Not LevioSSa...
Summary : Hugo and Lily is up for their first Christmas after Hogwarts and they can't stop talking about what they had learned.
*********************************
It was Christmas the next day and the Potters and the Weasleyes were having their nice time at the burrow with the whole family.
The ladies were sitting on the kitchen counter, doing chores and chatting and laughing occasionally. George was out with Arthur and Bill for some official reason while Victoire was with Rose, Albus and James in the backyard playing Quidditch along with Teddy.
Harry and Ron, was sitting in one of the corners with Hugo and Lily who happened to attend their first year at Hogwarts and is excited as hell to return back after Christmas. They were narrating their experiences from the first year making both Harry and Ron wishing only if they could return to those days.
Both of them occasionally glanced at Hermione whenever Lily or Hugo said some of their mischief which went unnoticed by the teacher. All those rule breakings they did together which earned them detentions and punishments along with so much fun Memories.
It felt surreal for them to see themselves at this point of their life, having their own families, being a husband, then a father etcetera etcetera.
"Dad, Did you enjoy your School..??",Lily asked Harry which made both Harry and Ron grin wider.
"Hogwarts was my home..!!", Harry spoke softly cherishing the memories.
"It was the place that gave me memories to cherish..!!It was where I got friends..!!"-Harry looked at Ron and then at Hermione who was sitting with Ginny behind Ron.
"It was the place where I finally found who I am. It gave me my identity. It gave me a reason to live...!!",Harry looked nowhere while speaking.
"Mate, It feels funny when you say like this...!!",Ron laughed at Harry.
"Like what..?",Harry raised his eyebrows.
"Like that monk in that programme Hermione watches in that TV Dad and you bought..",Harry chuckled hearing his example.
"Dad, You know we learnt so many charms lessons. Charms is my favourite..!!",Hugo clapped his hands in excitement.
"Like mother, Like son..",Harry mumbled making Ron and himself Grin remembering all those days again.
"Okay what did you learn??",Harry asked.
"We learned the levitation spell. Swish and Flick..!!",Hugo showed the movements using his arms.
"See, Wingardium LevioSSa...!!!",Hugo exclaimed with a smile showing Harry.
"Hugo...Its LeviOusa, Not LevioSSa...!!!",Ron spoke as a grin spread on both Harry's and his face.
Harry and Ron looked at each other sharing a knowing glance and then burst out laughing much to the surprise of Hugo and Lily who was trying to decipher what was funny in that..??
"What did you say..??",Harry and Ron stopped laughing and turned to see Hermione standing behind them who happened to heard what Ron said.
"What did you say Ron..??", Hermione asked again.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and again laughed.
"Uncle Ron said, Its LeviOusa not LevioSSa cause Hugo pronounced it wrong..!!",Lily popped in.
And that was it, Hermione also laughed hearing that joining Harry and Ron.
"What's so funny..??",Hugo asked irritated.
They stopped laughing and Harry spoke, "Your Mom taught this spell to your Dad when they were young. And it was the same spell Ron used to save me and Hermione from a Troll..!!",Harry chuckled remembering those days followed by Ron and Hermione.
The trio looked at each other in silence as all the they knew what was going on in each other's mind at that moment.
And at last, Hermione broke the ice, "I can't believe..!!We have come this long...!!!Having families....",She trailed off looking at Ron with a tender expression.
Harry who observed both of them, chuckled.
They looked at him questeningly.
"I can't believe you both were the same people whom I met in school, With all those bickerings and silly fights..!!",Harry chuckled.
Both Ron and Hermione turned red hearing his comment. It was true. Even they couldn't decipher how they made it.
"You both literally used to eat my brains..!!!",He grinned.
"Seriously Mate, If I knew this was about to happen, I would not have done that.!",Ron said with a grim expression.
"Done what??",Harry asked.
"Eat your brains..!!",Ron shrugged simply with a grin.
Harry and Hermione shared a look before bursting into laughter followed by Ron.
"I wish I could go back to those times..!!", Hermione sighed.
"Well, You still have that time turner, don't you??",Ron winked at Harry with a smirk while a cushion landed on him.
"Ouch..!"
"Did you guys ever had detention..??James said, He had to do detention with Professor Slughorn last year..!!",Lily who was till then sitting silently watching their parents with Hugo, asked the trio.
They looked at each other grinning.
"We never left a year without doing detention..!!",Ron spoke chuckling.
Lily and Hugo's eyes widened.
"Mom, You also had detention..??!!You said no One should never break rules..!!"
Hermione looked at Harry and Ron who was now smirking at her.
She sighed, "Well, When you are best friends with idiots like these 2, You can't help but do the detention..!!Right??",Hermione smirked back at them who now widened their eyes.
"Oh..!!Is that so..!?",Ron asked.
"Who put Professor Snape in fire..?Who brewed an Illegal potion by stealing ingredients..??Who's idea was DA..??",Ron started.
"Oho..!!I did all those for you guys only..!!And My intention was good only..Okay??", Hermione snorted back.
Harry looked at his best friends who was bickering just like children and face palmed himself. He looked at Lily and Hugo who were also wearing the same expression.
He chuckled and called them, "Com lets leave..!!Otherwise they will eat your brain too..!!",He chuckled at his own comment and walked away with the kids who was looking totally clueless leaving behind the couple to themselves.
Life was set. Everyone was happy. Peace.

All of the Crowe’s !
a showing of the crowe family so far:
Frost Crowe !
painter extraordinaire aspiration
neat
loner
bio: Frost has always been timid, As the third born sometimes she’s forgotten caused mostly by the terror twins always starting some kind of issue (setting fires). a sweet and caring girl ! very creative, she loves painting and reading, and napping. She doesn’t socialize much like her mother Noelle so she is socially awkward and sometimes erratic.After the death of her mother Aliyah she’s become more closed off. She’s very open and affectionate but people often times mistake her kindness for weakness. She will 100% slap a bitch if needed. She secretly looks up to her older sister Morrisey as an idol and she admires her confidence.
Morrisey Crowe !
good vampire aspiration
hot headed
self assured
bio: The second oldest ! Morrisey is the epitome of perfect. Or that’s what she thinks she is. She is confident 100% of the time! Sometimes cocky. She is competitive but gets angry easily. Throwing fits and kicking trash cans over. Unlike the rest of her family though she refuses to drink from humans. she finds it disgusting and primitive. She’s not the best with her emotions which causes people to just think of her as mean, but really she is always caring for others in her own weird way, boosted from her mothers death she becomes the mother like figure in her family.
Noelle Crowe
vampire family aspiration
loner
gloomy
romantic
bio: Noelle has been around for a very long time.Not as old as Vladislaus, though they’re not too far apart either. When Noelle was a child her family were killed by hunters, she was the only remaining one left of her family and for years and years she was a recluse, barely went out, barely fed. After she found Aliyah she slowly got better.Noelle is caring and competitive, she spends almost all her time tending to her children’s needs. Sometimes she sees her old family members in their faces and it warms her up a bit. She couldn’t bring herself to turn Aliyah and she died from a sickness very recently. She can’t cope well and mostly sleeps in her coffin when she isn’t busy.
Hugo Crowe
master vampire aspiration
gloomy
music lover
unflirty
bio: Hugo is the definition of gentle giant. Hugo doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He is the first born ! he doesn’t do much other than watch tv, nap and eat. He looks exactly like his mother Noelle and sometimes acts just like her too. He loves people and making friends. Though flirting and the concept of being with someone makes him very uncomfy and he’s come to the conclusion he’s asexual ! He helps cook and clean but otherwise he spends his time on the computer. Usually trolling people (Which doesn’t work he sucks at pranking) or reading up on vampire secrets. He plans to outlive his family and become a grand master.
Cassius Crowe !!
Rambunctious scamp aspiration
evil
bio: One of the terror twins ! cassius is the brawn of the group, he lets his brother, Amaris plan and then he makes it happen. If he’s not ruthlessly scaring or pranking he’s sleeping. He needs his beauty sleep ! He’s evil unlike the rest of his family (aside from amaris) he’s not that bright but he tries ! and that’s what matters right? he has a soft spot for his mother, Aliyah. But after her death the pranks stopped, for now at least. Cassius vows to become the strongest vampire in the universe and enslave the human race!! He’s cool with aliens though. He also wants to marry a mermaid.
Amaris Crowe
whiz kid aspiration
evil
bio: Amaris is the smartest in the family, even though he’s a child. He’s a master manipulator and always gets his way. He’s the second terror twin ! He plans shenanigans and then sends Cassius on his way. Most of the time though he sets Cassius up to fail and get in trouble though. He admires Vladislaus for his evilness and hopes he can create his own vampire town. He hates being around people if he’s not messing with them. If he did have a soft spot it would be for his big brother Hugo. He thinks his hair is cool and he thinks he’s super strong and badass. He also reads up on vampire secrets and ancient vampires. He is just as confident as his sister Morrisey if not more. He thinks his other sister frost is lame for being so sensitive but after learning the hard way not to mess with her he just bullies Cassius when he can.

Love Island has a disabled contestant – now they have to do right by him
As Hugo’s disability isn’t as apparent as my own it will be interesting to see if he talks openly about it to ‘break the ice’ or waits until someone mentions it (Picture: ITV/Shutterstock)
After Big Brother 3 ended in 2002, I swore I’d never again become hooked on reality television.
My sister and I spent hours as slaves to the screen with nothing to show for it.
Reality TV seems to have moved away from the social experiment it once was. As a sociologist, that was the element that had initially really excited me.
Now, although I understand the appeal of escapism – I confess, I am a closeted Kardashian fan – reality shows are not generally my cuppa tea as they have become so shallow.
But my interest was recently piqued upon hearing that amputee Milly Pickles had been approached by ITV to be part of the hit show Love Island, as they were ‘actively approaching for someone with a visible disability’.
Milly declined the offer but it’s been announced that Hugo Hammond will be the first visibly disabled Love Island contestant. But I should point out that neurodivergent contestant, Niall Aslam, entered the villa in 2018.
My initial thought was ‘about bloody time’ and then I wondered how many deaf or disabled people had been approached. Had the process been thought out or was it a simple ‘you are disabled, you’ll do’ attitude?
As a physically disabled woman and a disability campaigner for inclusion and representation I will never be grateful for or celebrate something that should have happened years ago.
I actually find it appalling it’s taken so long for this to transpire and, after the rather damaging report Doubling Disability, which shows that 2028 will be the earliest broadcasters will hit their target of 9% off screen talent, to me it initially felt like a tokenistic and panicked approach.
Box ticking or a genuine step in the right direction and a win for disability representation? You can make up your own mind.

I had hoped to perhaps see a wheelchair user enter the villa as I’d love to know how they would adapt it for access needs.
Still, I wonder if Love Island will highlight that dating with a disability can be hard work. How will all the prejudice so many disabled people looking for romance face be presented in a show that relies heavily on ‘socially acceptable’ ideologies of beauty?
Most of the time people don’t realise they’re being ableist or that their comments are hurtful. Many deaf and disabled people are used to brushing off intrusive questions simply because they don’t want to make a fuss.
My own experiences of dating have been far from plain sailing. In fact, I’m drained from having to convince others that dating someone with a disability isn’t a bad thing.
Most of the hurtful and frustrating talk I have heard has arguably come from misinformation, ignorance, unconscious biases or ‘blasé locker-room talk’ not intended to cause harm but I’m here to tell you that it’s like death by a million paper cuts.
Among the classic ableist comments I have encountered were: ‘I didn’t know you could move your legs’, ‘you’re brave to be on a dating site’, ‘can you have sex then?’
I’ve never disclosed my disability upfront on dating sites because I am so much more than it. But I know many people will simply swipe me away when they see the chair.
Back in my party days, a crowded dance floor was the worst place for intrusive questions about my sexual capabilities – drunk people like to ask a lot about sex (Picture: Samantha Renke)
As someone who has been at the receiving end of trolling after being on television and had disgusting memes made about me simply to poke fun at my disability, I do fear that Hugo will face the same abuse.
Perhaps he doesn’t care, for me it was torturous at times and really knocked my self-esteem. I would hate for that to deter anyone else with a disability applying for shows like this.
As Hugo’s disability isn’t as apparent as my own it will be interesting to see if he talks openly about it to ‘break the ice’ or waits until someone mentions it.
I suspect that perhaps the other contestants will skirt around the subject for fear of condemnation from the outside world – and therefore it won’t be a true representation of how society still views disability.
Unless their inhibitions go out the window when alcohol enters the mix – back in my party days, a crowded dance floor was the worst place for intrusive questions about my sexual capabilities – drunk people like to ask a lot about sex.
More: Love Island

I truly hope Hugo’s arrival on Love Island this summer will spark positive conversations about disability and, on reflection, I think it will absolutely be a win for authentic representation. It may also give other broadcasters a kick up the derriere to follow suit.
Will I tune in? Yes, because I like to support those within my community and Hugo is pretty cute…
If his presence in the villa means we see more disability representation on and off screen then it can only be a good thing.

NK Jemisin: "Es más fácil publicar un conjunto de libros en África negra si eres blanco" | Libros
En 2018, NK Jemisin se convirtió en el primer escritor en ganar tres premios consecutivos de Hugo Best Roman por ciencia ficción y fantasía. Su primer premio fue en 2016, por su novela. La quinta temporada, y sus dos suites, La puerta del obelisco y El cielo de piedra, ganó en los años siguientes. Aún así, hablando por teléfono desde su casa en Brooklyn, afectada por un coronavirus, Jemisin dice que nunca pensó que se publicaría. "Honestamente, no pensé que tuviera una oportunidad. Simplemente no has visto personajes como yo en la ficción ", dice ella.
Al crecer en Mobile, Alabama y Nueva York, Jemisin era una lectora apasionada, inventando sus propias historias desde los ocho años, pero la falta de mujeres negras escribiendo ciencia ficción y fantasía. , del tipo que amaba, le hizo creer que este no era el caso. t para ella. "Todos estábamos expuestos solo a la ficción de tipo blanco, a veces ficción de jóvenes mujeres blancas, y si así fue como creciste, eso es lo que lo cual es normal ".
Todos estábamos expuestos solo a la ficción blanca y si así fue como creciste, entonces eso es normal
A veces los personajes negros se abrieron paso en estas historias escritas por hombres blancos. Jemisin recuerda a Arthur C Clarke Fin de la infancia, en el que Jan Rodricks, un hombre negro, es el último humano en la Tierra. "Hay un párrafo donde se introduce el personaje masculino negro donde Clarke hace una pausa en la historia para explicarle a la audiencia que, ya sabes, este personaje es negro, pero eso ya no importa. importancia en el futuro. Y así, para todos los efectos, es básicamente un hombre blanco que tiene la piel negra. No es realmente la forma perfecta de manejarlo ". Descubrió a Octavia Butler en los años 80, y "ayudó mucho, pero ella era solo una persona".
Jemisin se formó como psicólogo y trabajó en universidades en una consultoría de psicología específica para adolescentes tardíos. Continuó escribiendo pero abandonó cualquier idea de publicación: había ido a la escuela de posgrado, tenía préstamos estudiantiles, no tenía sentido cambiar de carrera. Luego cumplió 30 años y tuvo una "mini crisis de cuarentena". Ella había escrito una novela, un vistazo temprano de lo que se convertiría Los cien mil reinos – y la envió a las editoriales, también tomando el taller de ciencia ficción y escritura de fantasía Viable Paradise, donde primero probó cuentos y comenzó a vender su trabajo. La novela no se reanudó, "probablemente porque no era muy buena".

Ella escribió otro, La luna asesina, lo que le valió un agente. Ambientado en un mundo basado en el antiguo Egipto, tenía un reparto casi exclusivamente negro, y no encontró un editor para ello. "Fue a mediados de la década de 2000, y en ese momento, los editores de ciencia ficción y fantasía no estaban muy interesados en historias con elenco negro de escritores negros. Habían hecho historias con elenco negro de escritores blancos, pero no estaban interesados en estas historias de personas que en realidad eran negras. Las cartas de rechazo dirían cosas como "nos gusta, pero no sabemos cómo comercializarlo". Nos gusta eso, pero no sabemos quién sería su audiencia "- la implicación de los editores es que" los lectores fantásticos no quieren leer sobre los negros. Los negros no quieren leer fantasía. Entonces, ¿qué hacemos?
Jemisin decidió reescribir Los cien mil reinos, haciendo que casi todo el hierro fundido sea blanco. “Todos ellos eran personas horribles. Se lanzarían por, como, nada. Y escribí esta historia de enojo acerca de esta chica solitaria de cabello oscuro entrando a este lugar lleno de villanos blancos ", dijo. Fue a subasta, con tres editoriales diferentes peleando. "Y me digo a mí mismo, ¿eso es lo que quieres?" ella dijo. "Estaba bastante amargado … me había tomado mucho cuidado en (La luna asesina) para incluir blancos comprensivos, pero eso no era lo que querían. "
Decirle a Yeine Darr, una marginada bárbara del norte que es convocada a la ciudad de Sky, donde es nombrada una de las herederas potenciales del rey (cuya familia esclavizó a los dioses), Los cien mil reinos ganó el premio Jemisin the Locus a la mejor primera novela en 2011. Otras dos novelas de la trilogía Heritage le siguieron en 18 meses sorprendentemente prolíficos. Los libros se vendían regularmente, si no en un instante, y sus editores tenían hambre de más: afortunadamente, ella se había aferrado a La luna asesina. Ubicado en la antigua ciudad-estado de Gujaareh, donde el papel de los Recolectores es cosechar la magia de los espíritus dormidos para usarla para siempre, hasta que los soñadores comiencen a morir. fue nominado para un premio Nebula.
Un taller patrocinado por la NASA para escritores sobre astronomía y su fascinación por los volcanes que alimentan la quinta temporada.
Ahora Jemisin había vuelto a su trabajo diario como consejera. Ella soñaba con "una mujer enojada que viene a mí con una montaña flotando detrás de ella". Ella gelificó las ideas que había tenido desde que participó en un taller patrocinado por la NASA para escritores sobre astronomía, y comenzó a escribir La quinta temporada. Situada en un planeta con "un vasto continente ininterrumpido", inmovilidad sísmica, la novela se abre en el "fin del mundo" como un hombre: un "orógeno" despreciado y esclavizado que puede manipular la tierra – rasga una gran falla en el corazón del mundo. Jemisin ha dicho en el pasado que "es bastante obvio que estoy recurriendo a la historia humana de la opresión estructural, así como a mis sentimientos sobre esta época de # 39; historia estadounidense ". Ganó un aplauso increíble para Jemisin, así como un trato para una serie de televisión. Al aceptar a su tercer Hugo, le dijo a su audiencia en un discurso del ganador que se volvió viral: "Ha sido un año difícil, ¿no? Algunos años difíciles Un siglo difícil. Para algunos de nosotros, las cosas siempre han sido difíciles. "
Escribir la trilogía mientras trabajaba casi a tiempo completo no había sido fácil, especialmente desde que la madre de Jemisin se enfermó en 2015. Mientras escribía el tercer libro, decidió lanzar Patreon, una plataforma de suscriptores en línea, para financiar su trabajo. No tenía grandes esperanzas, pero "obtuve mucho más dinero del que esperaba, así que seguí y dejé el trabajo durante el día".
Fue en 2016. Después de varios años en los que un grupo de escritores, en su mayoría hombres, blancos y una abrumadora mayoría de derechistas, intentaron contrarrestar la creciente diversidad. Hugos votando por bloque por sus títulos aprobados, el triple golpe de Jemisin se parecía a un cambio de rumbo. Como dijo en su discurso hinchado del ganador: "Este es el año en que puedo sonreír a todos estos oponentes, cada guardiamarina mediocre e inseguro que se arregla la boca para sugerir que no pertenezco a esta escena, que la gente ama, no puedo haber ganado tal honor, que cuando lo ganan, es meritocracia, pero cuando lo ganamos, es ; es "política de identidad" – … puedo sonreír a estas personas y levantar un dedo medio brillante con forma de cohete en su dirección ".
Ella continuó levantando su dedo medio en su escritura. El enemigo en su nueva novela, La ciudad en la que nos hemos convertido, es un enorme horror en expansión, Lovecraftian, un mal para destruir ciudades. Pero este villano no es un homenaje al maestro del horror. En la historia de Jemisin, "una fantasía gloriosa", dice Neil Gaiman, la ciudad más grande se convierte en entidades vivientes. Nueva York acaba de despertarse, y una "bestia de las profundidades" está a punto de derribarla. "Cuando entras a una ciudad en el momento adecuado, cuando la luz es buena y sientes que tú y la ciudad se están comunicando. Quería poner palabras en este sentimiento, como lo hacen los artistas, y eso es lo que encontré ", dice Jemisin.
Cuando lees libros de HP Lovecraft como The Horror at Red Hook, es evidente sobre el racismo
HP Lovecraft, dijo, también quería expresar las palabras en un sentimiento: el sentimiento que tenía, sin embargo, era una xenofobia viciosa. "Cuando lees cosas como El horror en el gancho rojo Es evidente tanto sobre el racismo como sobre el hecho de que el racismo es la inspiración para su sentimiento de que estas personas son malas. "Hasta 2015, se presentó un busto de Lovecraft a los ganadores de los World Fantasy Awards. Esto cambió cuando Nnedi Okorafor, la primera persona negra en ganar el premio desde su creación en 1975, ganó el premio en 2011 "Ella recibió el premio y dijo: ¿Entiendes exactamente lo que significa Lovecraft para alguien como yo?", Dijo Jemisin. "Hay un tipo de hilo común en la ciencia ficción para" s & # "Involucrarse con el arte y no con el artista", probablemente porque muchos escritores de ciencia ficción son personas problemáticas. Pero en el caso de Lovecraft, hacer esto no solo es descarado sino deshonesto, porque la ficción de Lovecraft está muy arraigada en su xenofobia. "
Mal en La ciudad en la que nos hemos convertido es, dijo Jemisin, "básicamente Cthulhu" (el monstruo octopoide de Lovecraft), con un grupo de diversos personajes frente a él, y contras, conspicuamente, los trolls de hombre de derecha derecha que recluta para luchar por él . "Elegí tener miedo de Lovecraft por la ciudad, su sensación de que estas personas diversas le estaban trayendo mala energía", dijo. “Mi punto de vista era: por supuesto, traen energía a la ciudad, todos lo hacen. Lo percibió como malo, pero en realidad es solo la vida. "
¿Piensa que Lovecraft y los tentáculos del racismo que han cruzado la ciencia ficción y la fantasía durante décadas son derrotados hoy? Han pasado unos 15 años, después de todo, desde La luna asesina fue rechazado en todos los niveles. Tal vez un poco, dijo ella. Los editores y los editores ahora son conscientes de la demanda de ficción inclusiva y representativa, pero, como señaló una encuesta reciente, la publicación estadounidense sigue siendo cegadoramente blanca en términos de personal. "Y, entonces, se ha desarrollado una tendencia extraña y desagradable para que los editores estén perfectamente de acuerdo con las novelas sobre ciertos grupos de personas escritos por blancos, pero no escritos por miembros de ese grupo ", dijo. "Siempre es más fácil para un blanco escribir un libro con una distribución completamente negra en un África fantástico y publicarlo que para un negro".
Sin embargo, con su bolsa Hugos, Jemisin tiene la última risa. Al recordar esta noche récord en 2018, dice: "Hay críticos en la comunidad de ciencia ficción que piensan que fue un discurso inapropiado". Son bienvenidos a esta opinión ", me dijo con extrema sequedad. "Sentí que necesitaba un poco de catarsis".

The Racist Venezuelan Bourgeoisie’s Accusations Against Chavistas Are Pure Projection
“Social media truly is the great democratizer. Where else can Twitter trolls and bot armies create a web of baseless rumors that make their way into the empire’s leading publications? For example:
“Maduro is a murdering criminal starving Venezuelan children while he loots the country like Chavez did. When supposed socialist Chavez died the richest Venezuelan in the world was his daughter w billions. Same w Maduro. Looting Venezuelan wealth. Giving it to himself & Cuba!” (source)
So much to unpack, but this is a template used throughout social media in various forms. Make unsourced allegations of mass murder, purposeful starvation (especially of The Children), corruption, and looting. This is a more sophisticated version (really!) in which Chávez is separated from socialism with the word “supposed,” meant to give the accuser some leverage on the left. You see, corruption is what ails Venezuela, not socialism necessarily. Much of the rest has been thoroughly debunked — there is a crime problem but no death squads, there have been a few dozen deaths in years of violent right-wing riots but no campaign of official slaughter of “protesters,” and frankly Cuba has paid for its oil many times over with solidarity and other material support to poor Venezuelans. What persists — in right-wing AND left narratives — is the corruption boogeyman. The tweet above is truly tapping into a rich vein of existing ultraleftism, in which the Bolivarian revolution isn’t socialist at all, but merely an emerging, competing bourgeoisie. I hope here to discuss and counter just some of this bullshit.
First, the claims about the Chávez family are based on the thinnest, most laughable evidence. For Hugo himself, the British tabloid Daily Mail cites a “respected analyst” from a fake “criminal justice” outfit run by a guy with 300 followers. Twitter user Bernardo Canto did the research on this lie and traced it back to a Scribd post devoid of citation or source material. Apart from that, there is absolutely zero evidence that Chávez “died rich,” as they say — which is a pretty idiotic way to do massive corruption.
As for María Gabriela Chávez, why, there must be reams of evidence against her. Well. Get a load of this.
Canto delved into these accusations uncritically published all over corporate media, including Forbes. The claim in Forbes is credited to known CIA front Diario Las Americas, based in Miami, which, “as it happens,” is now owned since 2013 by the Venezuelan backers of opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, himself accused of corruption by the Maduro administration.
It all literally boils down to a receipt shown on a tabloidy TV news show whose host is a Cuban-American Republican who ran for Congress to represent Miami. That receipt? Look for yourself:
If you think that, within the United States, ATM receipts say at the bottom “United States,” well, charitably, you’ve never used an ATM here. And the address is that of the Venezuelan consulate, not any bank. Another mistake made on this truly pathetic fabrication, is that in the US we use commas, not periods, to denote whole numbers. Of course there is no way to verify if this is Amb. Chávez’s card number, and the scammer who made this knows at least that. Aporrea already debunked this — there is no “Frabz Federal Bank,” as any US resident or a quick Google search will tell you. Frabz is literally a fake ATM receipt generator. Nevertheless, Diario Las Americas claims that the reporting of supermarket-tabloid caliber blog Maduradas.com is “precise and trustworthy,” which of course makes any claim of journalistic rigor in that entire operation a preposterous notion.
Endless insinuations of impropriety against Venezuelan officials litter the internet from troll comments on up to The New York Times. The Atlantic published a particularly nasty set of libels against María Gabriela Chávez, all caged in careful transitions and caveats so as not to actually be required to provide proof. Everything from how much public money she spends (even though she’s a billionaire!) to alleged import corruption (again with no evidence provided) to comments on her musical ability. It even gives credence to a conspiracy theory that her ambassadorship was given so that Cuba would have a trojan-horse advocate at the UN. This is pure smear, a series of fevered speculations, and yet there it is in a leading light of the liberal media.
The rest of the Chávez and Maduro clans’ children are targets as well. Check out this nutty Daily Mail post published presumably to contribute wind to the sails of the ongoing coup attempt. All the María Gabriela claims are breezily restated with no attempt to corroborate, but the “accusations” against her youngest sister Rosinés are uh… well she held up “a fistful of dollar bills” — yes, ONE-dollar bills — and well, goes to school in Paris where, we are assured, she is “care free.” And then of course there’s the time Maduro stopped in Turkey to eat a steak, which is outrageous for the president of a country on his way home from trade talks in China. Diosdado Cabello, a leading PSUV member and one of Chavismo’s most efficacious orators, is mentioned for being accused by the US government of drug running but even this is admitted to be unproven. (More on narco allegations in a future post.) Cabello’s daughter Daniela is mentioned because she is pretty. Yes really. The first lady Celia Flores’s children are said to have spent $45,000 at a hotel in Paris, though the claim seems to originate with a Spanish tabloid that did some paper napkin math and has absolutely no sources whatsoever to confirm any of it — assuming the stay itself even happened.
If Maduro has a billion dollars, if Chávez had two to four — depending on whom you ask — billion fucking dollars, why would they stick around Venezuela suffering endless ridicule, threats and even attempts on their lives, and the general stresses of being responsible for the running of an entire country? Is it just megalomania against all odds? Do you think Maduro feels powerful against all that he has to deal with right now? The prospect is risible, they could buy an entire country with that amount of money and yet there they stay, ready to go down with the ship if the empire torpedoes it. What strange corruption! Something isn’t adding up, probably because it’s all lies. We should apply a high level of skepticism to any claim we see about the empire’s targets, especially if they’re at the top of the news cycle.
There’s also the matter of the so-called Bolibourgeoisie, nouveau-riche types who are said to have leveraged the revolution for personal gain. It’s no secret that — especially after the 2002 coup — the Bolivarian project created a tactical alliance with certain business interests in the country. But reports detailing the purported gluttony and profligacy rarely name anyone and make it clear that this “plugged in” wealthy set is just a consequence of 70% of the Venezuelan economy remaining in private hands. Companies that contract with the state are, of course, compensated, as they are anywhere in the world. These private companies are for profit and these profits are, of course and unfortunately, distributed to the owners and as in any capitalist society, they are free to use this wealth for any idiotic frivolous thing they please.
From personal experience living in Miami, an old-guard Venezuelan typically makes a judgement on the “legitimacy” of the wealth of say, someone exiting an expensive car based on their complexion and features. Darker and more native-featured people are assumed to be Bolibourgeois. They’ve done nothing different from a typical businessman — the white expats are just mad that black and indigenous people may have muscled their way into what should be a purely European- or Arab-descended endeavor.
There’s no evidence that these “plugged-ins” are responsible for the economic problems in Venezuela. After all, some of the most famous episodes of Latin American corruption and economic upheaval happened during the IMF-obedient regimes of the 1990s in which populist polices were rolled back, privatization ran rampant, and austerity reigned.
Real corruption is when you warehouse food to create artificial scarcities and deliberately provoke hunger. The parties who are purposely starving the Venezuelan people are the same types as in Chile who stoked privation and misery in the campaign to overthrow Allende. In Chile we know they were kept solvent by CIA money, and we can assume the same sorts of economic support exists in the case of Venezuela. In addition to smaller importers and producers being able, through whatever means, to create very telegenic scarcities of certain products, there are conglomerates whose resources are deeper, and in whose interests an overthrow is even more intensely represented, than what is available from US intel schemes.
Empresas Polar, makers of the ubiquitous harina PAN used in every single household to make arepas, has had it out for the Revolution from day one. Despite state and communal efforts to break their strangehold on the corn flour market, their generations-deep imprint on the Venezuelan household rich and poor has persisted. If anyone “retains the ability to keep its products off the shelves just as readily as its ability to keep them on,” it’s La Polar. This is due to their still-gigantic home market share and, ironically, their being a major beneficiary of Venezuelan state subsidies for food importation. In addition, Polar’s various corporate vehicles in the US benefit from United States subsidies on corn for their many products which are sold in a growing market of quite affluent Venezuelans in the US. With all these resources at its disposal, creating artificial scarcities in a comparatively low-revenue market would be a minor line-item on Polar’s books.
There’s also the phenomenon of the “raspao,” or scrape. I don’t pretend to understand all the ways that currency can be manipulated, but merely printing too much money isn’t responsible for a one-million-percent unofficial inflation rate. For many years the Venezuelan state offered USD at an official exchange rate, for imports and travel, etc. People could buy dollars at this official rate with credit cards and then immediately convert these dollars back into bolivares in the black market — instant profit. On a trip to Mexico City last year I had a Mexican tell me with great excitement about how local Venezuelan friends of his who were involved in the scam used the profits to live well in the most exclusive neighborhoods. While the practice seems to have been curbed in recent years, the damage to the currency rate is done and the tightening sanctions compound it. I can only speculate, but with probably more certainty than a Eurotrash tabloid, that some of my Venezuelan neighbors themselves started their own nest eggs by ripping off their country. This truly is corruption, and though official currency policy is what facilitates it, it’s private criminals who take advantage, destroying their country’s economy while they live it up in exile.
The ultimate corruption is when you make millions through inheritance and other people’s labor. The accusations of the elites of Venezuela are a form of projection: they are the corrupt parasites who for generations have fed off the productive people of Venezuela, as in all nations. The same author as the Atlantic Chávez smear list — proud putchist! — has an entire post about the watches worn by some Venezuelan politicians, potentially the most news-unworthy subject of all time. The charge, of course, is “hypocrisy”: lol look at the socialists having quality timepieces! Yet when the idle scions of the Venezuelan elite themselves own safes full of jewels, several luxury cars, houses across the world, this is fine because there’s no hypocrisy involved — they never pretended to care about another soul on this planet but their own. There has never been a cynicism so toxic, so deep.
When “opposition” supporters, in between #SOS posts on Instagram, post stories of themselves on their yachts in Aruba, or their family farm in the mountains, or their beach house in Isla Margarita, or flaneuring around Barcelona and Madrid, are we meant to consider this a life of suffering? If they’re doing this, who is “earning” the money they draw to pay for these extravagances most people on earth — let alone Venezuela — can’t afford? This is corruption in every sense of the word: an indolent, lazy, entitled, racist caste of princes and princesses living off interest in foreign banks made from exploiting generations of poor workers going back into the times of chattel slavery and primitive accumulation. What is “nepotism” if not passing immense ill-gotten fortunes and estates to your children? What makes a country-club brat particularly adept at guiding such large agglomerations of the national wealth?
And even if it’s not strictly corruption, there is a certain moral emptiness to receiving a free education in Venezuela and then immediately going abroad to use your degree for personal gain, as many have done. These people are true leeches, not those demanding a fairer share of the national produce they helped create.
We also know that they consider “corruption” — or at least the even more vague “waste” — to include the building of 2.5 million homes, universities, collective farms, markets, food programs, medical facilities. To the bruised egos of the waning nobles, it’s unconscionable to give literal peasants a boost up from the dirt floor.
Listen when they talk:
"From 1999 through 2013, Venezuela collected $1.3 trillion in oil revenues but it largely has vanished through corruption, MASSIVE SOCIAL SPENDING, and waste"…
All this is why we hear so much about “corruption” in Venezuela: an utterly worthless class of human beings is angry that some small share of the wealth they used to skim exclusively for themselves is now being distributed with just a bit more equity across social lines.
Local issues of corruption, whatever they consist of, are for Venezuelans to solve. It is a completely internal matter. Imagine making the case for the bombing and invasion of a country based on the fact that it has economic problems. Now imagine those problems are mostly caused by the party who is meant to “liberate” this country. That is literally what the argument boils down to. It’s bonkers on the surface, without even so much investigation. As Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza quipped, on the subject of the farcical “humanitarian aid”: “I’m choking you, I’m killing you — and then I’m giving you a cookie.” The US is not now and has never been in the business of securing liberty for anyone other than the financial interests of its wealthy owners. If you believe otherwise, it’s your brain that’s corrupted.”.

Rewatching “Transformers”
Yep, the Michael Bay one. Because I felt like it and it’s the only Transformer movie I enjoy as a guilty pleasure. Dab.
I like how they put the transformer noise over the shooting stars for the Paramount logo.
BEFORE TIME BEGAN, THERE WAS THE CUBE.
I will give this movie a little bit of credit: the music over Optimus’ explanation of the AllSpark is not bad.
Actually the music in this entire movie isn’t that bad.
Man, Peter Cullen isn’t getting paid enough in these movies.
Yeah, Tyrese (Gibson), earn that paycheck!
Oh my God, the color filter in this movie.
Traits of a Michael Bay movie: America, America, helicopters, fighter jets, blue, orange, green, yellow, aqua, the army, sparks, street lamps, America, esplosions, some shady shit in the government, lens flares, product placement, really really quick pan shots, a shady government agent covering up some secret government conspiracy, technicolor smoke, slow-mo shots of something being thrown up in the air behind someone, slow-mo shots of something AMERICA, and a whole bunch of metal
Waaiiiitttt... how come the wife of the Josh Duhamel character looks like Mary Winchester from “Supernatural?”
Compared to the other movies in this series that I’ve seen (Revenge of the Fallen and Age of Extinction), this one actually feels a little more... slow... like they take more time to explain things instead of just throwing explosion porn at you. I mean, they still do in this movie and I consider this one to be the un-laziest in this series.
Man, I remember when this movie first came out
WAAiiitttt.... why do I recognize the history teacher? Isn’t he Dr. Taub on House?
“The ice is freezing faster than it’s melting!” What?
NO SACRIFICE, NOOO VICTORYYY!!
This history is full of the most immature teenagers I’ve ever seen.
ELEVENTH GRADE?!? THESE ARE THE OLDEST ELEVENTH GRADERS I’VE EVER SEEN
“What would Jesus do?” I can still quote like 50% of this movie. That’s sad.
How do they not notice the 1977 Camaro driving into the lot by itself?
RIP Bernie Mac
So much yellow in this scene alone.
Why does a used car lot have a petting zoo?
Another question I have is why Bumblebee decided to have the Autobot symbol on the horn. Usually Autobots have their Autobot symbols on their chestplate so if you think about that, that’s just weird.
Jon Voight!
RACHAEL TAYLOR! TRISH WALKER! I forgot she was in this movie!
Trish, get back to your radio show!
Sam, why is your username LadiesMan217? If you’re trying to sell stuff on eBay, which probably no one uses anymore (so that dates this movie by a long shot), have a username that doesn’t scream “Hey, I’m a egotistical dick.”
God, I hate the parents in this movie.
My dad used to have a lot of audio files from this movie and one of them was “Wow. You are so cheap.”
“Why don’t you use those magic voodoo powers and get us the hell out of here?” Man, I forgot about that line.
I forgot how cringy awkward Sam is in this. Jesus Christ.
Why is Megan Fox wearing a scarf when it’s shown to be like ninety degrees out?
“OK. You’ll call me.” We quote that all the time in my house it’s not even funny.
The little bee air freshener says “Bee-otch”
Megan Fox uses her teeth a lot when she talks.
Oh my God Sam stop talking.
Wow, Michael Bay absolutely could not keep it in his pants when it came to Megan Fox in this movie.
There’s only three female characters in this movie and Michael Bay gets freaky deaky filming-wise over Megan Fox
“You think I’m shallow?” Yes. You’re not sneaking that past me, movie.
*dramatic drum* THE PENTAGON!
OK, I agree with the Air Force One attendant, Ding Dongs are disgusting.
Couldn’t you use one pan-up to Frenzy after the Ding Dong stops rolling instead of having three cuts to even show it?
AN: I’m only 30 mins in and this movie is almost 2 and a half hours long
Oh my gosh, the filter again. They made Trish’s eyes REALLY BLUEEE
*imitates Frenzy as he slams his head on the screen in frustration*
Why is Sam’s profile picture look like his mugshot?
If the dad is the head of the neighborhood watch, his tired ass should be fired by the town council.
Wow, another thing that dates this movie: a flip phone.
Obligatory mean dogs chained to a wall of some sort.
But seriously though, who leaves their dogs in an empty land fill during the night?
How does Sam not notice that no one is driving his car?
Wait, at first, they (the Department of Defense) didn’t know what the hacking was caused by and now they think it’s a SpiderBot virus?
Isn’t “living organism” an oxymoron?
That’s a great question to ask a cop: “Are you on drugs?”
Why is the little Arab boy that travels with the Josh Duhamel character one of the best actors in this movie?
I don’t mean to be racist, but the bit where the Josh Duhamel character calls the India outsource center always cracks me up. I don’t know why it does.
Oh, the Josh Duhamel character’s name is Lennox. OK.
“Spooky 3-2, use 1-0-5 shells. Bring the rain.” The best line in this movie. Hands down.
Me and my sister pretty much quote this entire scene where Maggie goes to consult Glenn about the signal, including the “SHUT UP GRANDMAAAA!” and “GET OFF MY GRANDMAMA’S CARPET!”
“We’re not told where they’re going.” Of course because the Hover-round takes them where they wanna go.
That’s the same hologram dude who was the helicopter Decepticon in the beginning and now he’s in the police car.
Dude, the random rock music? What?
Barricade just said “AIYAIYAIAYAIYAIIII!” as a battle cry. I can’t take that seriously.
Obligatory trailer music at a heroic moment.
“What?!?” BA DA DAAA!!
“This is a hundred more times cooler than Armaggedon! I swear to God!” Don’t think you can get by with that self-deprication, Michael Bay. We know.
“‘Cuse me, are you the tooth fairy?” I’m sorry, but that bit’s really cute in my opinion.
Man, by the time the other Autobots transform, Optimus just finishes transforming. And he took like a full minute to transform compared to the ten second panning shot of the others transforming.
I know it probably isn’t him, but it sounds like Steve Blum performing as Ironhide.
“His vocal processor was damaged” Ratchet says as he points a freaking laser at Bumblebee’s “throat”
NO NOT THE DOG!
Dude, it isn’t about measuring whether or not you’re guilty. I’d eat a whole plate of donuts.
“DON’T TALK TO ME! DON’T TALK TO ME, CRIMINAL!”
Yep, sure, this asteroid sized projectile falling out of the sky is an airplane. And this guy is the head of the neighborhood watch?
“BAD MOJO...”
Sam: Be subtle
Autobots: OK (proceeds to trash yard and park themselves in the middle of it)
Optimus rubbing his faceplate in frustration is totally me
*DRAGS FACE ACROSS DESK IN FRUSTRATION AT THE BAD AND POORLY TIMED SEX JOKE*
“The parents are very irritating. Shall I dispose of them?” YES.
Hello John Turturro.
Wait, this whole movie takes place within a week?
BUMBLEBEE, STOP LUBRICATING THE MAN!
GET THIS THING TO STOP, HUH?
*Sam and Mikaela fall off of Optimus* Sorry, but you two would have shattered your ribcages after that.
“I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?” They should have made a TV spot centered around that quote.
“NBE?” “Non-Biological Extraterrestrial. Keep up with the acronyms here.” And that is how I remembered what an acronym is.
To be honest, I don’t like Charlie Adler Starscream that much. Get me Steve Blum or Tom Kenny then I’ll be good.
What kind of Nokia phone is that?
I actually like the effect of the AllSpark collapsing in on itself to make a smaller version of itself
Man, I’m not even a fan of Hugo Weaving as Megatron.
I like that shot of Megatron before he goes “You fail me yet again, Starscream” where he just clicks his fingers together.
*The team still at Hoover Dam barricade the door* They got a cave troll!
The truck Decepticon takes down Optimus via flying tackle hug
BUDDY!!!!!
Now see, why does Optimus have a sword?
No, not the Orpheum!
Now why is Jazz sitting there still in car mode just watching Bumblebee get his legs cut off?
YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!? YOU WANT A PIECE?!?
NO! I WANT TWO PIECES!
“Megatron.” “PRIIMMEEE!!!”
They keep reusing sound effects from the beginning in this battle
Oh no, not... Mountain Dew cans... *shrugs*
Did Megatron just yell “SURPRISE!” when he burst into that abandoned building?
He must be great at birthday parties
*Barricade gets shot in the Spark and dies* Oooh, right in the arc reactor!
AN: God, there’s only twenty minutes left. I can do this.
Starscream does virtually nothing in these series.
“Oh, so unwise.” MR. ANDERSON...
That one human Megatron flicked away is totally dead.
IT’S JUST YOU AND ME, MEGATRON.
NO, IT’S JUST ME, PRIME!!
“Armor’s just weak under the chest.” So let’s aim the aiming laser at the Decepticon’s hand. That sounds good.
That bit of Lennox driving the motorcycle and sliding under the Decepticon to kill it is actually pretty awesome
*Megatron dies with choking noises* And so, Stanley Yelnats killed Elrond with the AllSpark
Now how are Optimus and Megatron brothers? Unless there’s some cut backstory where they were like best friends until Megatron was like “You know what? Being a Decepticon sounds cool. Imma go do that.” and Optimus was like “YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!”
I’ve heard rumors that there’s like 40 minutes of backstory that they cut from “The Last Knight”
Linkin Park!
*proceeds to sing all of “What I’ve Done”*
