DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT SMILE?!!?

Gif by @stars-bean

It's at the very end. And it's just a split second. A hint.

But I swear it's there.

You all see it, too, right?

His eyes get a little twinkle, the corners of his mouth twitch up. He wants to spend the night before he realizes he shouldn't.

HE WANTS TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

(Someone help me, I'm unwell)

there's something so poetic about coyote vs acme being the thing that causes wb's 'the producers' ass scheme of shitcanning movies for tax breaks to blow up in their face and cause them to turn to the camera, blink twice, and dissolve into a little pile of ash that their eyes fall down into with a little bounce

#to be honest. my partner keeps saying that movies that were canned for tax breaks should be public domain and i agree #we literally paid for them? they're ours now???? #anyway i really hope it makes it out into theatres/streaming and i'm glad that the backlash worked #but also like. why shitcan a nearly finished movie that made it to test screenings when the industry's been at a standstill for a year? #where's you buy your intelligence? at the stupid store?

I say this in the kindest way possible, but I think this style of prose is more appropriate for a personal account rather than an update account. I have no idea who's being talked about half the time. 🥲

So apparently neither Dew Nitikorn and Tor Atagorn nor Yoon Phusanu (who had a cameo that was apparently cut) have been paid for their work in For Him the Series (and that's just the people we know about). They've all spoken up about it on their twitter accounts presumably after their NDAs expired.

And on top of that, Tor has come forward about being stalked and harrassed on and off set, to the point where he's now in therapy and unsure whether he'll continue his career in acting:

The company behind For Him (and Unforgotten Night) is Y.Entertainment and yeah, 30min episodes with filler behind-the-scenes content and really bad audio seems to be the least of their problems.

#for him the series #dew nitikorn #tor atagorn #yoon phusanu #thai bl #i had one more ep of for him to go but yeah no #this is disgusting #not paying your actors is bad enough #(and who knows who else wasn't paid if even the top talent isn't) #but presumably person b was part of the production crew #and that's just the reddest of flags #fandom should be very aware of these companies and how they treat their actors #because shit like this didn't stop with motive village #or 9naa #and now y.ent #jane watches stuff

Harry appreciation post! And also all the crew because they need to be valued (and paid) more in F1 .

If u didn’t know, Harry’s been with the team since Force India, so he’s known Lance ever since RP days. He was a mechanic on Nico’s, then Checo’s side of the garage. This year he got promoted to Lance’s No.1 mechanic. They get along well 💚

#aka the blue bucket hat lance cuddle guy #after reading about how less they get paid we should definitely appreciate them more! #what I like about AM is so many of them have been with team throughout everything #aston martin f1 #lance stroll

Any advice for young artists?

Practice fundamentals like anatomy and composition before it haunts you later in life 💀

insurance makes sense on a conceptual level but in reality insurance companies turn decently huge profits by a) relying on things not happening, which they mostly don't b) ensuring things mostly don't happen by exluding anything that might make "things happening" more likely and stacking it in their favour and then c) finding any excuse and loophole possible to not cover you if anything ever does happen

like. insurance would be good if it wasn't managed by insurance companies

#insurance is quite literally a bet #the company is betting that nothing will happen to you (or your house/car/stuff/pet) #except it's a very one-sided bet because you give them money either way and they're cheating about it #not having insurance is ALSO a bet #except YOU'RE betting nothing will happen to you #on the basis that (by keeping money in savings instead) you could reasonaby afford it if it did #rather than give that money to someone else and trusting that the thing which might happen IS something they will have to pay for #and can't wriggle out of #(obv american health insurance is an outlier and should not be counted you will always need medical care of some kind and all of it is so #expensive you guys are just so fucked i'm sorry) #insurance companies would still ultimately profit even if they paid out without whining and even if they covered the slightly more likely #bc the chance of it NOT happening is still greater than it happening & across all their clients Not Being Giant Cunts wouldnt bankrupt them #but here we are #something something capitalism

as a certified Diagnosed Autist(TM) i cannot stress enough that i am not only pro- self-diagnosis, but also pretty anti- legal medical diagnosis. it is, at best, a cruel hoop we have to jump through so privileged people will deign to give us what we need. don't fucking do that shit unless you have to, it was disgustingly expensive, fucking humiliating, infantilizing, and dehumanizing, and would probably actively cause problems in my life if i didn't have some really good allistic (-passing) people in my corner and also wasn't so fucking disabled that it mostly doesn't matter.

literally get that diagnosis if you need it for job/school accessibility shit or SSI or whatever, and otherwise dont tell the government SHIT about yourself. there is zero good reason for them to want that information. that's between you and the people you want in your life.

#as a side note: this goes for gender too #dont fucking get a special marker on your passport or whatever #trying to get ssi has made me realize how deeply cruel the system is #never reveal any vulnerability you have unless it's absolutely necessary #do not do this stuff for validation the government is not your friend and you should seek emotional fulfillment elsewhere #hm this post turned out a lot angrier than i meant #guess i'm still mad about how awful the process was #it wasnt even long it was just. so *impersonal.* #this woman talked to me for two hours. went down a fairly bigoted checklist. #didnt ask me my own opinion on much of anything. and then declared a bunch of her impressions as if they hold weight just bc shes allistic #like how i have 'identity issues' (am trans and dont want a romantic partner) #and thats just. my permanent record of diagnosis! this two hour conversation with a stranger! she doesnt fucking know me #we paid like $500 for that

Regarding radical feminists (specifically transphobic ones) becoming fascists: it's a thing. You let yourself fall into one form of bigoted thinking, it gets easier and easier to adopt others. And that's how we get JK Rowling denying Nazi crimes in the year 2024.

oh my fucking god. someone accused her of „upholding nazi ideology around gender“ which she called a fever dream because gender was not a thing in nazi germany since the distinction between sex and gender was made mid 20th century. all the claims about trans people being targeted by the nazis come from the fact they burned books by magnus hirschfeld and made him close his institut where he did research on transsexuals - his wikipedia states he was targeted for being JEWISH and GAY. not because of his research.

this article also makes clear that being trans only meant people crossdressing, which mostly - almost exclusively - affected gay men who were indeed targeted by the nazis as emphasised by homosexuals getting their own symbol in the concentration camps. crossdressers were indeed persecuted because they were regarded as homosexuals.

and just my personal opinion? doing experimental research on what we today understand as homosexuals with internalised homophobia and gender dysphoria is not trans friendly. they usually died soon after the surgeries. if hirschfeld had not been jewish and gay but a non-jewish heterosexual german in the nsdap selling it as the medicalisation and castration of homosexuals it was to the nazis, they certainly would have let him do it or even supported it as part of their eugenics politics. seeing as he was racist and sexist too. and one of his doctors went on to work for the nazis, for example (source: the scientist magazine below).

oh and by the way it is really difficult to find sources that are not tainted by modern gender ideology applied to what went down at that clinic.

this article for instance talks about „transgender“ people getting „gender affirming care“ when - again - gender was introduced as a concept after the fact.

i wish some more of you would realise this. trans, whether that be transvestite, transsexual or transgender, is not a universal concept like biological sex and homosexuality. it is entirely cultural.

oh and lastly, did you know that the nazis persecuted prostitutes but opened brothels in concentration camps and other places? and did you know that many of the women prostituted by german nazis were jewish, roma and eastern european? and did you know that pro trans groups and parties are supporting the liberal prostitution law in germany that enables and fosters the mass sexual exploitation of eastern european women at the hands of german men in german brothels TODAY? where is the uproar for that huh? you people are deeply unserious when it comes to social justice issues and prefer engaging in manufactured rage online over actually analysing and dismantling systems of oppression. fuck off now

#i should get paid for this shit #ask #history #shit talking #this isnt even about jkr because im not a fan of how she handled that whole thing #and like i cant stress enough that the woman who accuses jkr of holocaust denial #had to apologise for celebrating the 7th october attack #last note: i think you are more at risk of going down the fascist pipeline if you mindlessly parrot shit and dont allow criticism

last thing i’ll say; people aren’t owed free content but creatives aren’t owed financial compensation either

#i say all this as a cretive btw lets head that off #their bottom line was ‘we want more money to make bigger things and we cant afford to so we want more money in order to do them’ #and that is a valid desire #but you cant just expect everyone to go along with that just bc you want it #watcher got where they are due to a loyal viewer base #to reject money from corporations in favour of money from that viewer base? thats skeevy #to default to a complete and absolute paywall removing all your content then pretend that you weren't going to? thats skeevy #to make a countdown to an announcement then make the announcement a somber trip down memory lane #and an ‘if only we can make more stuff like this wink wink’? thats skeevy #and its skeevy bc theyre a company and no matter how personable they are companies are not your friend #are they the rich we should be eating? no #but when your ceo drives a tesla and eats expensive food that is written off as a buisness expense #AND you have a patreon that you dont capitalise on but still brings you on average 100k a month #you cant act like youre a hard done by creative #endevouring to make more elaborate creations is a good idea #monetisation is a good idea #absolute monetisation with no thought to an alternative isnt #name one indie artist that relies entirely on paid content ill wait #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #watcher #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #hey there demons it’s me ya boy #ghost files

so everyone knows this pic right?

i wanted to get this on a shirt, and as it turns out, the artist of the image actually sells them online! go absolutely buck fucking wild

#garfield #meme #you are not immune to propaganda #i cant say anything abt shirt quality as i have never shopped w threadless before #and i only just placed my order so i dont have the shirt just yet #but i thought it would be cool to put this put there in case anyone else wanted one! #bc i feel like the original artist should be paid rather than some rando that put someone elses design on a shirt

Robbing the Royal Treasury

↳ Esteban in "King of the Carnaval" vs. Elena in "Royal Treasury Escape Room" (Scepter Training with Zuzo)

#elena of avalor #elena castillo flores #esteban flores #chancellor esteban #i've been thinking about this parallel ever since i watched this short #surprisingly there aren't as many direct parallels as you might think #but that's cause “something i would never do” is like twice the runtime of the short #and esteban is so both much more efficient and much more extra than elena #and elena only has to steal one thing as opposed to all the things #and she does so without having an existential crisis the way her cousin did #honestly elena may have hated ballet but it clearly paid off cause she's very graceful in this #not as graceful as esteban but still elena did some lovely chainé turns to avoid the purple smoke #of course it doesn't last and she makes a big old mess #but still elena did a better job than i remembered and she should be recognized for that #ngl i think a lot about the fact that the characters who have canonically stolen elena's mother's crown from the treasury are: #1. esteban ; 2. elena; 3. shuriki; 4. flo (in a different short) #'one of these things is not like the others; one of these things doesn't belong. can you tell which thing is not like the others?' #and flo had the easiest time of it (but left the biggest mess) #mygifs #disneyedit #eoaedit
