Shout out to all my trans siblings who don't want to be special in anyway and just want to be another face in the crowd. Just some guy. Just a random girl. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing noteworthy. Just an average person. Like yeah I could be a hot model or I could be Dave from down the street

Thoughts on Abbott women and their relationships to the cameras:

AUSHSHS, OKAY. One of my favorite things to think about how is how the Abbott characters are super aware of the cameras and how they have different relationships to the fact that they’re being filmed all the time. Here are some thoughts/headcanons for women esp.

Janine: Janine is the most honest with the cameras, treating them like friends, and thus shares a lot of her life with them: her triumphs, her plans, her sadnesses, her insecurities. Hell, I think it’d be fair to say that she even overshares, allowing the cameras unfettered access into her home and car and life beyond the workday. I especially thought this during “Sick Day.” This poor girl was literally, like, letting herself be filmed running to her bathroom!!! Like, girl, set some boundaries. You have a right to some privacy!!!!! But, of course, this is the crux of Janine’s central character arc. So lonely, once a clearly neglected child, our protagonist has a hard time with boundaries in general, and that extends to how she interacts with the cameras. They have become her closest companions and her dearest diary, her safe place for unapologetically being herself. We’re always getting Janine unfiltered, and it’s an incredibly humbling experience for an attentive viewer. She’s fully let us into our lives, and we feel for her deeply. My God, we just want her to be happy.

Barbara: Of the cast, Barbara is one of the most vigilant of the fact that she is being constantly surveilled and has to perpetually maintain her perfect facade because of this crucial fact. It’s her almost doll-like smile into the camera when she says that she doesn’t have a weird thing about her. It’s how she’s always emphasizing how proper and moral and Christian she is in her talking heads. One of my favorite recent examples is from the tattoo episode when she initially says her favorite “b” word is Barbara, but then her first correction is to the more upstanding and characteristic answer of “Bible.” But, as some of my favorite Work Wives gifsets have shown, Barbara occasionally forgets that the cameras are there—usually when she’s drawn into the intimacies of a moment, allowing herself to feel her own emotions without disciplining or regulating them. And it has to be with someone she emphatically trusts, such as Melissa. But any slippages, which are few and far-between, are quickly and efficiently amended. She studiously remembers herself. She slips the mask back on and smiles directly at the cameras and dares them to question what they saw in the place. She is Barbara Howard, married woman of God. She’s always perfect, don’t you know?

Ava: OKAY, OKAY, so I genuinely think that out of everyone, Ava is the most aware of the cameras being on her at all times. TikTok queen and social media extraordinaire, how can she not be? Like Barbara, and honestly even more proficiently than our favorite repressed lesbian lady, she touts an expert facade to the cameras, hyping up her natural charisma and her extrovertism and coolness—sometimes to the point of excess. She’s always catering to a targeted audience. She knows her way around an algorithm, a trend, a hashtag, perpetually attuned to what the people like and want to consume. Of course, she, too, has her rare moments of vulnerability, but the cameras have to be super quick and sneaky to find them. Avanine enjoyers, I think one of my favorite shots is when the cameras initially locate Ava and Janine talking about Ava’s grandmother during the step episode. The framing is faraway at first because the cameras are at the distance—clearly intruding and zooming on this quiet moment—and that’s pretty much the only way they ever catch our Ava Coleman slipping. I am sooooo invested in the fact that we can probably count the times that we’ve seen Ava unmasked on one hand!!!!!!

Melissa: Melissa has a fascinatingly contradictory relationship with the cameras, perhaps to match the oxymoron between her own well-chosen facade and her personality. She presents herself as tough and unflappable, likes to maintain an air of “dark mystery” to others as she once famously smirked in a talking head, but simultaneously—behind Janine—she’s probably been the most candid of the cast with the cameras. She actually let them stay in her house! Oh, yes, she absolutely insults the cameras from time to time—clearly distrusts them, stops herself when she thinks she’s saying too much, fears that they’re snitches—but she’s also told them some pretty damn intimate things too, like showing them pictures of Kristen Marie and literally crying. I really love LAW’s headcanon that there’s one camera person that she thinks is cute and so confides in more because I think that tracks with our general conception of Mel as someone who only relaxes around people she trusts. Some cameras are cops to her—they invite suspicion and paranoia, alerting her fight-or-fight response. Others have seen her at more unguarded moments and teased a lovely softness out of her.

Andy Merrill was on a Weird Al fan podcast as a special guest and mentioned Jellystone season three. He was really enthusiastic about the series and implied that Zorak will be accompanying Brak in his upcoming appearance.

#the biggie with this one will be Zorak having a new voice actor after everything #this being said #I've watched Jellystone and i love it #I definitely trust them to do Zorak justice #and more importantly #andy trusts them to do brak and Zorak justice #space ghost #space ghost coast to coast #sgc2c #andy Merrill

I think it's impossible to blame Anakin's fall on any one thing, there are so many factors that if you removed then he might never have fallen. The Jedi had a part yes, but if his mother had never died would he still have done it? If he had trusted Obi-Wan would the empire still have risen? There are so many things that affected his decisions and choices and it's impossible to pin the blame on any singular one of them

#this being said #i still think palpatine is a key denominator in all of it #he subtly pulled the strings in so many different factors #giving spiders georg #there are many individual factors but palpatine was secretly behind most of them and therefore an outlier and should not be counted #star wars #anakin skywalker #darth vader

#mads speaks🫶 #i love speaking a little french #this being said #they can come back with czech #quinn when u see this: hi ily

[thequiver]

the thing keeping me from getting into the arrowfam is that i teach archery/i do target archery and anytime i see ollie show up in a batman book he's GRIPPING ONTO HIS BOW FOR DEAR LIFE like no one ever taught him push-pull and i'm afraid to read the comics just, full of terrible archery physics (im mostly joking, what comics do you suggest that are considered to have Good Archery Form etc? like i know it's just comics but push-pull is one of the basic fundamentals so it makes my eye twitch to see)

So hi, was raised by someone who almost made it into the Olympics for archery and sitting here with @cissie-queen-jones who is also an archery coach who is corroborating these recs:

The Grell run is not only masterfully written, but Mike Grell actually researched archery before writing it, so it even features Ollie and Shado using two different draws based on the styles of archery they were taught! It's a must read for so many reasons! Silver Age is also pretty good archery physics wise (if you ignore the arrows), but otherwise you're gonna see issues with push-pull.

With ONE exception, Green Arrow: Quiver (Green Arrow (2001)/Vol 3 #1-10) was pretty good, but Mia does manage to pull back Ollie's 100+lb bow with zero effort despite being a 15 year old girl who's never held a bow before and who has no apparent drawn muscles.

It's not canon (and is also geared at children), but it should be, but Green Arrow: Stranded also has pretty good archery physics!

But overall, comic artists don't really know much about archery, including how the gloves look and what is a bracer- so you're gonna find issues everywhere, but these are the better examples.

#this being said #green arrow comics talk a lot about archery as a practice #so even if the physics are bad #they do tend to understand how it *feels* to shoot and the meaning behind a bow

Skate America 2022 - impressions

This was my first ever Grand Prix that I saw from start to finish live. It was a rollercoaster experience.

I grew up watching mostly pairs and ladies whenever I stumbled upon broadcasts on TV. So there's no surprise that I was looking forward to them both, but pairs turned out to be the only part I was completely neutral about (don't really care about any of the skaters over there).

Men - 's gave me joy during the SP and all came down during the FS. I'm glad Jun and Kao podiumed, but... I have thoughts about the kid (which I'm not going to share because I know how messy these things can get). Reactions throughout the competition have been shared and I'm not going to repeat all those emotions here.

Dance - I watched mostly for KanaDai - they had a rough FS, but I'm happy that they are happy with how they went and they are going to work to improve. Really looking forward to see how PoTo evolves.

Women - KAORI Skate America 2022 is what should be and it's great!! The narrow lead from the SP should've been bigger. Haein was robbed blind during the SP and it happened again for the FS. And Isabeau's FS score was so inflated even she looked surprised in the K&C. Gracie Gold - I felt bad for her FS, but it's great to see her on the ice!

I'm glad the event ended with Kaori on podium with GOLD because now I can finally go to sleep calm and content.
