#RWRBMovie: Designing the sex scenes

“We need to make sure that it is unambiguous to anyone watching this scene what precisely is happening,” he says. “We’re going to be accurate to the body positioning, to the breath, to the moment of insertion.” Working with intimacy coordinator Robbie Taylor Hunt, López thought through every possible detail about how two men have sex — and what about that process needed to make it into the scene: “We talked about, ‘Does the prince douche before they go in? Do we need to tell the audience that? Does the audience just assume that that’s going on?’” A great deal of time was spent on whether Prince Henry would be on PrEP, a medication taken to prevent HIV infection during sex. “Robbie and I decided together that the prince is probably not on PrEP, because it would be too dangerous for him to ask for prescription,” López says. “So the prince absolutely uses condoms. And because we couldn’t really effectively answer the PrEP question narratively, we wanted to also just tell the story that the prince engages in safe sex practices and takes his sexual health seriously.” Eagle-eyed viewers have indeed caught sight of condom wrappers near Henry and Alex’s bed during a couple of points in the film — alongside a bottle of lube.  “Once we had passed a certain part in the story, I was like, OK, let’s empty out some of the lube,’” López says. “Robbie and I were looking at it, like, ‘How much would they use? Like, well, let’s take it down about this much. OK, that makes sense to me.’” It was also vitally important to López to block out every beat of the sex scene in Paris. “Days before we shot that scene, Robbie and I actually got into the bed together,” the director says through laughter. “There are videos that could, like, ruin both our careers. Because we were like, ‘Alright, we’re having sex. What are we going to do? Okay, this pillow goes here. The condom’s going to land here. I’m going to do this.’ We probably overdid it in terms of the preparation for the scene. But we also wanted to make sure that we got on to set and we had an answer for every conceivable question.” The opportunity to show two men having sex in what amounts to a major studio romantic comedy was not lost on López. “I’d be a liar if I told you there wasn’t strategy to the scene, that I didn’t want to cause a conversation about why they’ve never seen this scene in a studio film,” he says. But he was also keenly aware of what he was asking of his actors. “Look, I don’t know if I could do it,” he says. “I’m fully aware that I’m asking two actors to do something that I’m probably not willing to do. I better make sure that I’m not wasting their time, that I’m not making them feel exploited, and that they are included in every single decision, every step of the way. It’s the only responsible way to do it. We knew that if Taylor and Nick didn’t feel safe, we would never have gotten that scene out of them.”

persona misogyny is so fucking wild. ignoring literally everything else about the entire rest of the games, every single s.link with a female character is like “entirely for having been born a woman i have had to work twice as hard for a fraction of the benefit. even now, i am stripped of my agency in a position i never wanted in the first place” and/or “i’m put on a pedestal by the people in my life because of my looks. men see me as an object to be conquered, women hate me for ‘stealing’ ‘their’ men. if i’m withdrawn i’m a bitch, if i’m friendly i’m easy. because of this, i’m alone” and/or “because of my personality or hobby or lack of cooking skills, i feel like i’m failing at femininity. if being a woman is something i can fail at, then where does that leave me? i’m scared at the loss of my identity and place in society”

like very consistently they present female characters with complex thoughts towards their place in society as women, femininity as a whole, and facing issues stemming from misogyny, and then the payoff is always “my problems were entirely my own fault. i wasn’t strong enough, i was a coward. but now, i’m gonna work hard to be exactly what society expects me to be (which is what i want to be)! i’m gonna do better at femininity (which is still something tangible i can fail at)! i’m going to try hard at making friends (which was my fault for not doing)! all my problems are solved through personal responsibility (that im totally culpable for), effort (which i previously was not putting in), or you, a man! i am Happy and Satisfied with this outcome, can i be Your woman?”

and like hello? why are we here. what the fuck are we doing. why do we keep doing this every single time. can we not do the constant lukewarm attempts at criticizing misogyny so you can jerk off to your own thoughtfulness, while ultimately reinforcing patriarchal systems and brushing off any deeper misogyny-bred issues as a lack of deference to one’s rightful place in society? like maybe don’t do that? for fucking once? just an idea

#i’d really need to rewatch slinks to give more indepth thoughts or pull specific examples #but i’m right and i pace about it every day #i’m not really talking about naoto that’s a whole other can of worms a long way down the line #rambles #if persona’s all about wish fulfillment where’s my persona game where i can be a feminist huh #p4g posting #p3p posting #yeah both of those. i’m not far enough in p4 to have seen the payoff but i know that its fucking persona 4 #and jesus christ yukiko!! i only vaguely know of ai. chie in the main story/dialogue options you have #jesus christ the dialogue options. can you ask literally every girl if they have a boyfriend?? and ‘thats very feminine’ DIE #and man p3p. persona main plot misogyny is weird when you’re on the other side of it #it’s a very different experience being the one getting peeped on #and then saori. and mitsuru. and fuuka. kinda rio. idr a single thing about yukari’s slink i’m sorry but probably her too #also my vague recollection of p5 with haru. ann by default though idr her slink #and goddd of course the. everything else. i’m not touching on. main plot misogyny and inherent writing stuff and etc etc etc etc etc etc et #GOD. #persona is hell

thinkin about how hangman is seen by the dagger cohort as unpredictable/unreliable/a wildcard in the air but he is always perfectly in control of himself. throwing darts blind, changing the song on the jukebox to flirt with rattle rooster, swallowing his disappointment when mav doesn’t pick him to run the mission. 

thinkin about how rooster is seen as mr reliable/always has your back in the air but time and time again we see that he’s nowhere near in control of himself. the corkscrew cobra bs with mav, attempting to kick hangman’s ass in front of the whole assignment, refusing to fly the sim any way other than his way to prove a spiteful point.

they’re both told they need what the other has but the truth is they’re mirrors, reflecting the faults and flaws they try to ignore back to one another over and over again. it’s not that hangman’s got to rein in his impulsivity - he has to cede a bit of control and trust the team. it’s not that rooster needs to ‘don’t think just do’ - he’s got to stop letting his emotions dictate his flying, make a plan, and execute it without any shadow of a doubt that he can get it done.

i just *curls fist softly* fuckin love character foils.

#thought brought to you by me noticing hangman doesn't even raise a hand when rooster launches himself across the classroom and thinking huh #why that be #hangman really be out here playing 4d chess #everything he does is so damn deliberate I stg #you can very much interpret their character arcs as straightforwardly as the movie wants you to #but where is the fun in that #one day i will be normal about them i swear #bradley rooster bradshaw #jake hangman seresin #hangster #sereshaw #top gun maverick

#yup‚ yup..! #b– bidoof! waaahhh! yeah. you thought this post was gonna be happy. then i reminded you of *that* scene. yeah. it makes me cry too. s. snif #time to think about all those theories that bidoof is actually the one who caused the end of the world‚ huh? by jirachi's hand and all #bidoof #i don't think i liked him very much in my first playthrough of pmd sky to be honest. just the fact that he was only really relevant for the #beginning of the game and he was also only relevant for being Barely higher rank than the player team so he could show them around #which was cute and all. and then obviously he came back right for the end which. sob. cry. sniffle. so i like him now. more than i did #which is good. i wouldn't want anyone to not like bidoof. after everything he's been through? he doesn't deserve to not be loved… #look at that face. would you dislike that face? i would not dislike this face. not again

#adamandi #ambrose wellington bassford #infer as you will i suppose. wanted to draw a statue ambrose but accidentally painted it because smth smth blending fits him #again. main things taken from lyrics of the actual show ++ this definition i checked with google because i didn't remember it off the top #of my head. but Thoughts indeed #sfgdhhdf ok hello i am back today has been a Day (not very good) (oh well) (small mercies) ... #did not expect the melliot to find this so quickly but since i guess the Official Tumblr has reblogged it i'll just edit this one. #as opposed to reuploading. o//o #i painted it at 2am on impulse and have very little recollection of the whole event -? and then in a fit of pique added words and posted it #it is Very different from the original draft. i'd like to maybe do that one justice someday... anyways something something sometimes #a piece of art you make organically Evolves of its own volition... anyways. #maybe i'm projecting but recently (tuesday?) i found out something Important i had in the works Collapsed in the kiln #kaboom. ah the perils of ceramics. anyway thanks to the messed up 3d of everything i'm working on rn (the pros and cons of visual art subj #is that you get to make art for a grade) and. ceramics and sculpture and classics etcetera. <blinks> wow i really latched on to art aspects. #but nevertheless! ambrose brainrot real. iirc my thoughts were smth like. most strongly. that contrapposto? based on my school art history #was that it evolved from the very neutral rigid ancient greek sculptures of people which were all about Mathematical Symmetry. because #the main thing about contrapposto was that it reflected irl people more... more life-like? so it's very ironic to me #that Alive ambrose went and tried to turn himself into a statue. with part of the draw being contrapposto.. like????? #ah yes you like this sculpture because it's lifelike. and you'd rather be a sculpture than alive huh. the contrasts are !! in my head #also maybe i just.. wanted to paint... idk i had ambrose on the brain yesterday and it was something about sculptural messed up perfection #fun fact!!! the skin and hair i all greyed out to look like marble. fun fact number two: he has no eyes in this. like no pupils :3 #fun fact number 3 (irrelevant) marble statues are only common wrt ancient greece bc the romans iirc came along and repurposed the bronzes. #because apparently bronze was a Hot Commodity at the time. and in return to preserve the art they made marble replicas. so most marble #ancient greek statues are apparently copies and the originals had totally different aesthetics #fun fact number 4: the background is a very greyed out image of my broken ceramics.. i wanted something nice to come out of it at least #fun fact number 5: i wanted to make him crack. like shattered ceramic or smth. that was the original idea. but instead it went to the pretty #sculpture route... kinda wanna make the messed up one though!! #fun fact number 6! because of Art Studio i'm covered in white paint and like it doesn't come off so it's been on my fingers and arms and #basically everywhere. so flesh turning into white stuff aes is fascinating i wanna explore... fun fact no.7.. i have accidentally maybe #began using screenshots as drawing practice. idk what to do with this info. if anything nice turns up ig i'll post it maybe

I was talking about this to a friend a few weeks ago, but I love how Kamille basically starts and ends Zeta Gundam with the same motive - righting a wrong - but the way he internalizes it shows how much he's grown (spoilers below).

Like, when he goes awol and steals the MK II, he's solely in it to pay back the MP who physically assaulted him (which also I could go into a whole other conversation about... dude why did you turn back around when a gundam crashed into the military facility???? anyway). He wants to get revenge for being looked down on, from being toyed around with by the officers on the sidelines. It's a very self-centered and almost egotistical drive.

By the time he's fighting Scirocco however, the rationale is different. Yes, he's still calling out Scirocco for doing much of the same as the MP - watching from the sidelines, messing with people - but Kamille's a changed man. He's now a formal pilot, but he's also learned to love and to lose people, and he's learned that he has the potential to be something more for them. And so he couches this intent in the framework of "sacrificing his life" for it - for a bigger cause, for the people who he cares about.

Until it swallows him whole.

#kamille bidan #i... just have a lot of feelings about kamille. he starts out as such a troubled kid (justifiably #and he's so self-centered because he's going through a lot of pain that as a teenage kid no one seems to really relate with #and the war almost helps him - gets him to meet people #recontextualizes the world and his place in it #until he's willing to give up EVERYTHING and become a vessel for everyone's intent #a;ldkghdks #random musings #anyway someday I'll write up my thoughts on how ZZ handles character development with Judau too since his ending also makes me feel things #zeta gundam #on a lighter note because of kamille's early episode antics I'm only 1 for 3 on convincing my friends to finish watching zeta #what a guy huh #gundam

dating an art student was so crazy I'm just thinking abt that one birthday I had where my ex got me stickers from the etsy of the person they were cheating on me with....

#they made them address the thank you note to me and everything ajskfjfkfb. i didnt know they were cheating at the time but wow... #every time i break out my sticker collection and see them im reminded of it. but i cant throw out the stickers theyre deltarune ones 😭 #like they were a rly cool artist.... just unfortunate that happened 💀 #the drama was insane. my ex only wanted to sleep with them but they (other person) wanted them to break up with me so they could date #but my ex dumped them rly harshly for suggesting that i guess 'romantic' cheating was a step too far even for them lmaooo #i heard abt their breakup secondhand and god could they be cruel sometimes. they made fun of the sex theyd had w them #to all their mutual friends n everything i actually felt so bad for the other person when i found out. at least our breakup wasnt that bad #i only finally got that cruel side of them directed towards me like a year after when they wanted us to stop being friends #but yeah. its also funny in a way bc my ex only suggested i had adhd bc the other person did too + struggled a lot with rsd #which i guess they found out when they broke up with them. and then looked at that and thought huh my gf is kind of similar... #and this was like. 2 years before i even considered i had adhd myself and sought diagnosis ahdkfidjcjdjfjfjfkdbfnf #this made me go look the other persons art page up on instagram + then i recognised some of their friends/flatmates art pages and i found #their (my exs that is) grad year film which is still being shown at animation festivals... good for them good for them #i dont think they have an art page themselves tho cuz they were always v shy and weird abt sharing art on social media #like everyone else except them is tagged on things... shame i wouldve liked to see what they were making now. even if we're not friends #also one of their old roommates made some REALLY similar squid game fanart to mine like a month after i posted it huh.. #not mad abt it or anything i think its cool i just didnt realise they showed my art to their friends. thats cute #ah this was years ago anyway. getting my head out of the rabbit hole #im gonna go play some elden ring and then maybe do smth fun in my sketchbook we shall seeee #.diaries
