Representation fucking matters.
Before watching the new Black Panther movie I really didn’t feel the need for it. Ofc I got why people wanted to be seen in big screens and different platforms but never really felt identified with the feeling people described. (I’m a member of the lgbt community as well but since I grew up on a very open household with a loving family that opened that part of the culture to me it was never a big thing).
Today that changed when I saw brown people on screen. I saw people who look like me and my friends and the ones I see on the streets everyday. I’m a Mexican woman, born and raised in Mexico and getting to see such a beautiful representation of my culture and people warmed my heart and made me feel exactly what minorities who were overshadowed by western media describe.
They even included Mayan legends on it, which I’ve always found absolutely beautiful. I live near some ruins (Teotihuacán, look it up) and it’s quite beautiful to see elements I saw on field trips and history classes represented on a movie. And not just any movie, a marvel movie. I grew up with them and seeing my culture developing in the same universe was just mesmerizing.
If you read this all the way, thank you. Means the world <3

Happy Birthday Chadwick
Hey Everyone I hope you're having a great day today <3
Today November 29th is Chadwick's birthday, he was such a phenomenally wonderful person that radiated joy and happiness even though he was going through such a difficult time in his life before he passed.
My heart aches for his family and friends that I know miss him dearly, especially his wife. While I know that most of us did not have the honor of actually meeting Chadwick in person I just want to take time to highlight that we have the opportunity to donate to his foundation.
The link to his foundation is here >>>>>> Chadwick Boseman
I know times for most are really hard and by no means so you have to donate, I just thought that I would provide the information for people who may want to.
You can also give via instagram by going to the foundations insta page and following those directions <3
If you can't donate please just remember Chadwick, remember his life and legacy and the smiles that he gave us anytime we saw him on screen or on the red carpet or on interviews or etc.

ok maybe this is controversial but it's always rubbed me the wrong way whenever an actor/celebrity dies and everyone is mourning them but only in relation to the character they played??? like idk if my mom died tomorrow and everyone was mourning her because she couldn't do her job anymore I would probably commit a hatecrime

with the recent video we have of seb in the pink jumper…
imagine walking downstairs with your newborn, and you see him snuggle up on the sofa and you’re completely looking at him in awh. JUST COMPLETELY FLUFF <3
𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞?
Tumblr media
pairings: sebastian stan x reader
warnings: nothing but fluff!
summary: ^^
a/n: such a cute request! thank you bubs!
************************************************************************
Your feet softly padded down the stairs as you held your newborn in your arms, her tiny snores filling the otherwise silent space.
When you got downstairs, you found Sebastian finishing the video for the Chadwick Boseman Foundation. You caught his eyes and he smiled softly before finishing the video and putting his phone back in his pocket. He reached out and made grabby hands as you let out a breathy laugh.
You walked over to him as you placed your baby girl in his outstretched arms. Seb immediately brought her to his chest, placing a hand behind her head for support. Your heart warmed at the sight as you went to join them. You placed your head by his neck, cuddling into him.
He adjusted, so one hand was wrapped around your waist, the other still holding his precious daughter, who shifted slightly in her baby pink blanket.
"You're matching," you whispered as Seb let out a quiet laugh.
A comfortable silence enveloped the three of you again, for a few minutes, before Seb spoke up.
"She's so beautiful."
"Just like her dad." You smiled.
"I was gonna say 'like her mother'."
You let out a small laugh, knowing that she looked like her dad: her bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks almost like a copy of his.
"Agree to disagree?"
Seb kissed your forehead, sweetly.
"Deal."

If you had the opportunity to work as a makeup artist on any movie/tv show which do you think you would pick?
Uhhh okay, so this is a silly dream 😂 but I want to be the person to lube Sebastian’s arm up for Bucky 🙃
Realistically I’d love to work on Euphoria or Bridgerton, or honestly any period piece. Could you imagine working on something from the 1950s or 1960s??
At one point I wanted to work on AHS. I’m not huge on special effects, but that could be as simple as spraying down Winston Duke and Chadwick Boseman with Neutrogena spray sunscreen so when they’re fighting in the water the water beads up on their skin.

Marvel Studios: Voices Rising - The Music Of Wakanda Forever [Series]
Tumblr media
Episode #1: "Nigeria: Past is Present" [available on Disney +] [w/ time stamps to follow along]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
▻ "Soundtrack's like this just don't happen anymore, with the high percentage of the songs that are embedded in the movie, and to this level of cultural specificity." - Ryan Coogler [Director] [0:00]
▻ "Here you have a story that intertwines people [Wakandans & Talokanil] of beautiful, rich ethnicities. What do you do with that as a composer? You use it!” - Letitia Wright [Princess Shuri] [0:14]
▻ We learn that Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Göransson first started off as friends, meeting one another at a film school [USC]. They then hit it off from their joint love of Swedish music. "They make magic together, and they seem to just pick up where the other has left off. They just have this seamless way of getting in each other's heads and hearts, and it ends up creating such incredible music.” - Lupita Nyong'o [Nakia] [1:51]
Tumblr media
▻ The first Black Panther soundtrack is heavily inspired by Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther and his overall character. After his passing, they had to go back to square one. "I couldn't really imagine what the movie [soundtrack] would feel or look like without Chadwick in it. So, I'm basically going into this experience starting from scratch." - Ludwig Göransson [Composer] [2:42]
▻ They [Ryan and Ludwig] chose to go to Nigeria, Lagos to recruit artists and composers, it being a major hotspot for music in the world currently. "What Lagos is to music right now is what London was to music in its heyday. What New York was to hip-hop in the 90's. I genuinely believe the most exciting music in the world is being made in Lagos." - Seni Saraki [Music Consultant] [3:16]
▻ "Ludwig came to Lagos, because he, as a creative, understands the need to feed off of the energy of a particular place." - Fireboy DML [Artist] [4:04]
Tumblr media
▻ There were a huge mixture of both contemporary artists [ie. singers, rappers, etc] and traditional artists [ie. musicians, instrumentalists for the score such as, but not limited to: Jedalo Percussion Ensemble, Fusion Nigeria] coming together to create this soundtrack. Instruments such as, but not limited to, the: sato drum, sakara drum, iyaálù bata, omele bata, kakaki horn, ojà flute, goje were all used on the traditional side. "Everyday we had different sessions with musicians that would come from different tribes from the Igbo, from the Hausa, from Yoruba and they would have their own instruments and different types of set of drums." - Ludwig Göransson [Composer] [5:57] Ryan and Ludwig are seen workshopping ideas of scenes and where musical segments may exist in the movie during these musical sessions [7:28]
▻ "He [Ludwig] and Ryan had been talking about it for years. ‘Let's write songs just for this film.’ There's no licensed tracks." - Monica Sonand [Score Supervisor] [9:39]
▻ “The generation that I'm in right now is speaking Afrobeats. We are all doing our own things individually, but as a unit together, we are pushing the culture. This is Afrobeats. This is Niger. This is Lagos. We're taking that old culture with us to the world." - Fireboy DML [Artist] [10:48] His song “Coming back for you" was used towards the end of the movie in the scene where Shuri is shown planting the heart-shaped herb [12:15]
Tumblr media
▻ Ryan and Ludwig wanted to have artists who sang in Xhosa [the language of the Wakandans] so they did their research and flew out artists from South Africa to Nigeria to meet with them. The music style “Amapiano” had the sound that they were looking for, which plays on most South African radio. "It's so unique and it comes out of the club scene there [South Africa] and it makes you want to dance. What I love about that music [Amapiano] is that it feels futuristic to me." - Ludwig Göransson [Composer] [15:05]
▻ Ryan, Ludwig and artist Bloody Civilian are shown brainstorming Bloody’s beats pack she made for them, discussing where her track may exist. She showed them her song “How to kill a man. “I was very nervous, but the environment felt safe and everyone's creativity was just going. It didn't really feel like work at some point." - Bloody Civilian [Artist + Producer] [23:04] Her final track in the movie “Wake up" ft Rema is about "pushing yourself regardless of the things that try to pull you back." - Bloody Civilian [Artist + Producer] [24:33]
▻ Some of the African producers involved were ecstatic to have representation of a variety of African artists and sounds on this Marvel movie and it’s soundtrack. "I think the album sounds like Wakanda!" - Osarumen Osamuyi [Music Producer] [25:28]
▻ "I've been able to travel here [Nigeria] with Ryan, one of my closest friends. Doing something like this together where we can share this experience has been such a blessing." - Ludwig Göransson [Composer] [25:52] "It was really important for us [Ludwig and him] to come to West Africa. Myself being African-American, a lot of my heritage is from here like most African-Americans. The biggest take away for me is the personal connection that I have myself. I'm constantly looking at people saying ‘that person looks like my cousin, that person looks like my friend, that person looks like my brother.' That experience is one that's very different from being a black man that was born and raised in a predominantly white country. Folks born on the continent often take for granted to just walk down the street and everybody looks like them. That wasn't my truth. That wasn’t my reality. It's a very strange experience to fly for thousands of miles and land somewhere you've never been, but it feels like home. There's a beauty to that, but also a sadness that comes with it.” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [26:06]

no insensitive quips or jokes (only some gentle roasting between the main cast), the whole movie is pretty melancholic in tone and builds on the more difficult themes from the first film. tbh it's a fairly realistic depiction of the characters *and* crew members going through the difficult grieving/healing process from the loss of both t'challa and chadwick boseman, and also out of respect they only use footage of him from the previous movie (so no AI if you're worried)
Oh thank God.
I wasnt even thinking of that but I can't imagine how fucking mad I would've been if they cgied him in like the creepy vultures they are.
No annoying cameos or endless references to the new villain or whatever?

Studios are fighting for the eternal franchise. Never have to worry about an actor leaving, growing old, dying, becoming sick, becoming unfavorable! Just use their image and voice forever and ever! And it will only keep looking better until you can’t tell the real from the fake anymore.
Imagine MCU if RDJ and Evans never left? If Chadwick Boseman could still play Black Panther.
Imagine Starwars if Mark Hamil never grew old? Imagine if Harrison Ford never grew old? That Carrie could still play Leia.
Imagine a new star trek show with the original cast and they looked like they never aged a day?
And it can even go further than that!
Imagine the exact same movie but the cast changes for each region. Chinese cast for China. Nigerian cast for Nigeria. Diverse cast for Western audiences. Turning a gay couple straight for Iran.
They are salivating at this! This is what they are fighting for. They won’t say it out loud but this is the future they want!

What a wonderful Disney 35th anniversary Legends ceremony it felt like a family reunion with so many friends we hadn’t seen in 3 years or more! Everyone came back for lunch which is very unusual. I met Chadwick Boseman’s family including his mom and dad as well as his brother and cousins…you can see why Chadwick was the man he was! Got to meet Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jonathan Groff who will always be King George, Doris Hardoon imagineering legend and many more! Floyd Norman

Black Panther Live: Philadelphia Orchestra
Tumblr media
Five thoughts on a fabulous Sunday afternoon with the orchestra at the Kimmel Center in downtown Philadelphia
The Kimmel Center is a wonderful place to hear the orchestra, but needs a larger movie screen. So much was wonderful about the experience of seeing Ryan Coogler’s 2018 film, which remains one of the high-water marks of the entire MCU, accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the world’s finest ensembles, along with world-renowned tama “living drum” master, Massamba Diop, that the one glaring downside  —  the Kimmel’s movie screen feels more than a tad small for the space its filling  — stood out. The acoustics are grand, the seats comfortable, the space itself inviting and spectacular, so the lone weak link in the production was the screen, dwarfed, as it was, by everything else around it. It certainly wasn’t a deal-breaker by any means, but one could easily see how much more impact a larger image might have on the whole enterprise. I understand it’s not something the Kimmel does on a very regular basis, but still well worth looking into. 
The film has aged powerfully, if not steeped in the tragic. There is much to love about Coogler’s film  —  so many scenes one could look forward to with anticipatory glee  — but every scene, even the goofy camaraderie between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and his kid sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright)  —  becomes shaded in somber tones due to Boseman’s tragic death back in 2020. It’s difficult to watch the film, even as joyful an expression of multiculturalism as it is, and not feel the weight of that loss (very much well-covered in the film’s sequel, Wakanda Forever, in which the loss of Boseman permeates every moment). All leading roles are designed to be central to a film’s focus, but Boseman’s generous warmth and decency powers the entire operation in such a way that you can’t imagine anyone else in the role (as evidenced in the sequel’s difficulty in trying to fill the Panther’s be-clawed boots). As good as Coogler’s film is  —  and, in the writing and storytelling, specifically, it’s among the very best of the MCU  —  it doesn’t work half as well without Boseman’s presence. I spent much of the film’s first act with tears welling in my eyes. He remains a tremendous loss. 
Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue is a fabulous villain, but Killmonger remains king. If the MCU indeed has a #villainproblem, Panther managed to offer not one great baddie, but two, and for totally different reasons. It’s easy to hate Klaue  —  a gregarious mercenary, filled with evil bonhomie and ruthless skullduggery (helpful that Serkis himself appears to be having such a blast in the role), who makes his nefarious living stealing precious items and selling them to the highest bidder, the world be damned  —  but Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger is a whole other story. Ruthless, brutal, and terrifyingly focused, he is, as Martin Freeman’s character Agent Ross informs us, doing things exactly as he’s been trained to by the U.S. military black ops division. Killmonger’s point, that after centuries of suffering, it’s time for the racial hierarchy to be upended with black people on top, actually makes perfect sense, in any sort of just world, even if his methodology is aggressively savage. He’s such a compelling character, in fact, with pride, menace, and swag veritably dripping off of Jordan’s skin, it’s pretty clear Coogler, along with co-writer Joe Robert Cole, had to tip the morality scales a wee bit with Killmonger (having him threaten an innocent gardener, burn the sacred flowers to the ground so there can’t be any more panthers, and gut Forest Whitaker’s Zuri in cold blood, all while sneering contempt for the ancient ways of the Wakandans), in order to make the audience actually want him to lose at the end. To balance that balance, the screenwriters see fit to give him a hero’s sort of death, defiant, significant, and on his own terms. A lot of other actors would have withered against the powerhouse charisma of Jordan, but Boseman is well up to the task, which creates a spectacular dynamic between the two dedicated actors. 
Having the live orchestra, along with Massamba Diop, adds an element to the excellent soundtrack. Honestly, I’m not normally one who terribly much notices a film’s score  —  at least, at first listen  —  unless it’s dramatically amazing or frustratingly distracting, even one as solid as Ludwig Göransson’s work for Panther, but having it performed as a separate entity, in harmony with the film, but not directly of it, sets it off from the screen just enough to allow iit hit with that much more force, enhancing the entire experience. On top of that, with the master showman Diop front and center of the orchestra, set off in his own booth, facing the audience, and leaping to his feet at key orchestral moments, it sort of bridges the gap between film and theater. It’s a spectacle that crackles with energy. 
Seeing the film with a packed house of rabid devotees was a singular experience. The crowd was amped for this event, and I mean, they were loud, hype, and effusive. They cheered when the orchestra sat down, they cheered when the first violinist took the stage, they cheered when conductor Damon Gupton swung out, and they cheered wildly when Gupton introduced Diop, who came out in a shimmering orange robe/pants ensemble. They kept cheering throughout the film  —  when Okoye (Danai Gurira) answers as to whether she would cut down even her beloved (Daniel Kaluuya) in defense of her country by hissing “Without question!” the audience erupted in thunderous approval  —  and they kept a deep, respectful silence during Killmonger’s death scene. You didn’t hear any chattering. You didn’t see people checking their texts, or basketball scores. Everyone was there in respectful reverence to the film, which made for a glorious communal experience. This is why having an 85” flatscreen still can’t compare to watching a huge film in an enormous setting, amongst a throng of equally devoted true believers. There’s simply nothing else like it.

BPP, after Jin’s live today, I’m really in awe at how much they do for the fans, of how much trust they have in each other to re-sign again. I have so much respect for the sacrifices they, especially Jin, did to stay a little longer to perform for Army. I can only imagine how hard these past few years have been for him. He’s been dragged through the mud because of enlistment. He must have been having a really hard time, enough for family and friends ro urge him to announce that he was going himself. But of course since Jin is Jin, and Jin has an upstanding moral character, he knew that that wouldn’t be okay. He knew that the issue was bigger than him. And even though he hates the cold, he conceded to this one last concert. I love him so much 😭😭😭😭
And hearing that BE was the pre enlistment album was simultaneously surprising but unsurprising. Hearing how they kept pushing their plans back because of one unexpected opportunity after another, until Jin decided to put his foot down and decide to set a date. But imagine how devastating it would’ve been for the fandom if they’d annouce it after FESTA? I’m really glad that we got the BUSAN concert now even with all the mishaps 😭 Even then, they were still thinking about making it a fun event for ARMY so they didn’t annouce it then.
But. They truly were never going to take that exemption, were they? They know that the issue was bigger than them, and were definitely aware that they were being used as pawns. I’m glad that they were able to make this choice, and they were able to announce it their way too. This day has been a roller coster 😭
I’m in awe of how strong their bond truly is. They’re really determined to stay true to their promise and stick together for the next few decades huh? Sometimes I feel like the fandom overdoes or exaggerates how close they all are but then they casually drop statements like these that has so much implications and I’m just 😭 We don’t even know about all the shit they’ve been through together that must’ve really forged their bond so they’ve been able to get through stuff thick or thin.,.
I’m really glad that Bangtan is 7 and those 7 are Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook. They’re magic! ARMY’s forever artists 💜😭
(PS Maybe now the debate on hobi’s weverse album will be put to rest? 😅🫣)

Anon,
I don't even know what to say. Everything that needs to be said has already been said. They've been saying it for at least 3 years now.
Between streaming The Astronaut by Jin, and Lift Me Up by Rihanna in honour of the late Chadwick Boseman, I'm a bit of a mess and can't write much now. So thank you for taking the time to articulate your thoughts like this. I don't have anything else to add right now.
The boys have always been crystal clear and there has never been any reason for confusion.
See some of my posts on this topic to jog memories, listed chronologically:
Where I say Jin planned to go to the military end of 2020
More on enlistment, reiterating again that the boys have always said they will enlist
On the timing of prepping for enlistment and Jin's The Astronaut
