Favorite H quote of Venice panel for DWD:

INT: I’d like to include the cast in how was to enter this world which is very much between reality and stylization, and maybe we can start with you, Harry.

H: Is this…[messing with microphone buttons] Um, yeah, I think it was, it’s fun to kind of get to play in worlds that aren’t necessarily your own, um, so kind of, you know, this world that’s supposedly so perfect, it’s um, it’s obviously really fun to play kind of pretend in it, and you know, it’s like driving fun cars, and a lot of fun stuff. 

So I think, uh, it’s kind of just nice to, like, I think we were looking to have that world kind of built so well around us that it meant we could kind of play, um, kind of in reality for us rather than like pretending that everything was, you know, nice, or…. It wasn’t too much like acting, I don’t think, in terms of in the world that you’re in, it was really kind of created very well for us, so that was really fun.

Gemma Chan attempts to rescue, says she agrees with Harry, and praises everyone – “set design, hair and makeup, cinematographers” except the director.

Chris Pine: pokes at his tongue, stares at ceiling, wills himself to be vanished, then gives a very thoughtful answer

It’s funny, but at the same time it isn’t.  Because it’s yet ANOTHER piece of evidence of Harry’s team’s mismanagement - and his own complacency in it. Harry’s team’s preferred strategy of having him prevaricate and be a blank slate for everyone to fill in the blank with their own fantasy. Radio DJs and music mags usually fill in the blanks for him and tease him, so it comes off as charming. Here, that strategy makes him appear “adorably slow” and certainly unprepared to be taken seriously.  At some point, if Harry wants to be taken seriously, he’s going to need to give more than pleasantly vague word salad answers.

Beautiful. Maybe it will inspire me to finish my fanfic.

- like or reblog if you take any!

- you can find them on my icon page

- if you have any requests, you can send me an ask

I feel as though some of them are worse than others facepalm but these are my first after a very long time without practicing. 

For some reason I thought I had done more than just one set of Ruth. Oh well. Sorry!

Enjoy!

Bella Swan has a personality. She is bookish, reserved, quiet, smart, earnest around those she trusts, while taking on the role of parent to both her mother and father. 

Just because the media has little time for teenage girls who don’t fit into their limited, and limiting, belief of what makes a teenager girl worthwhile, doesn’t mean she is not worthwhile. 

It also doesn’t mean Bella is ‘bland.’

The belief teenage girls identified with Bella because she supposedly had no personality smugly disregards the fact that many teenager girls are pushed into a parenting role—either parenting their parents, or their siblings, both younger and older—by a society that demands motherhood from even the youngest of girls.

I for one had many friends in high school who had to take care of flighty mothers, basic fathers, and younger siblings. Is it any wonder they identified with Bella?

It also smugly disregards the fact many teenager girls are bookish, reserved, quiet, smart, and earnest around those they trust.

The snark about Bella’s clumsiness is hard not to internalise as an autistic girl—poor hand eye coordination is not uncommon in those on the spectrum. Autism aside, it also seems like a freakin’ bizarre reason to hate a character. Consider the characters whose despicable actions are forgiven and often romanticised in literature and film. But a girl who falls over a lot? Man, screw her, lads! 

The hatred of Bella’s physical weakness is also gross. Being strong doesn’t mean being physical strong. That idea feeds into the narrative that a female character is only strong if she is strong in a traditionally masculine way, and that is nonsense. Can teenager girls be physically strong? Absolutely. But it seems like such a bizarre bar to make a female character jump before you consider her worthy. 

There is criticism levelled against Twilight which is valid in every sense of the word, but the feral hatred levelled at Bella Swan is not valid. It is misogyny. It is hatred of teenage girls. 

If you have identified or currently identify with Bella Swan you are beautiful, valid, and strong.

I need this to also include the producer/interviewer noticing how hot Charlie is, and noticing he's a good guy, and falling for him despite others' lingering suspicion about his involvement.

good morning I just woke up obsessed with the idea of a movie filmed in the style of a true crime documentary except it’s in the Twilight universe and a bunch of completely ordinary humans are trying to figure out why Bella effectively disappeared after high school without knowing anything about vampires

Shh. Don’t tell them. :)

[glowingadmirer]

Sorry I've been absent from posting my newest fanfic, I've been traumatized by the news.

[glowingadmirer]

Honestly if you’re female and you’re called for jury duty and during the elimination process you’re asked if you’ve ever had any adverse experience with a man (harrassment or rape or any other male violence) just fuckin lie and say no. Then vote that fucker guilty

Okay heads up for all Americans eligible to vote:

The Supreme Court just issues a ruling allowing Ohio and other states to purge voters from their election registration rolls due to their failure to cast a ballot in previous elections.

This is a major victory for the Trump administration and the GOP, and a direct consequence of the Supreme Court being stacked with more conservative judges (the votes were 5-4). This is also a huge part of what Trump/the GOP were counting on to save them in the 2018 midterm elections, which is where Democrats have been hoping to take back a majority in the House, giving them more power to combat Trump’s abuses of power and Republican legislation.

What this means is YOU CAN NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED for the 2018 elections, just because you SHOULD be. Thanks to this decision, red states can purge voters’ registration based on their not having cast a ballot in even just previous federal elections, NOT just the national Presidential elections. Effectively, if you haven’t voted in previous senate races or for congressional representatives in the past few years, that’s all they need now to say you’re no longer registered and need to register again.

They’re deliberately counting on people assuming they’re still registered and so not checking until after registration deadlines have passed, or showing up to vote this November and only then finding out they’re no longer registered, when its too late to do a damn thing about it.

And this is absolutely targeted at marginalized communities, low income voters, disabled voters, and basically anyone who simply can’t always AFFORD to keep on top of every federal election and show up to vote in every senate race, etc. Which not so coincidentally happen to be all the communities and voters who have the most to gain from Democratic victories in the 2018 midterms and are the least likely to cast votes for GOP candidates at this point.

This was absolutely a calculated effort aimed specifically at keeping the GOP in power with a majority control of the government come November, and unfortunately, it has a DAMN good chance of accomplishing just that if it goes by unacknowledged. I’m not looking to alarm or panic anyone, simply to say:

If you are a registered voter in a red state at this point, please please please do not take your registered status as assumed. Check on your registration status, look up all relevant voter registration deadlines for your state and district, CIRCLE THAT SHIT ON YOUR CALENDAR, and check your registration status AGAIN right before those deadlines pass, so you can be sure of it before its too late to do anything about it til the next voting cycle.

[glowingadmirer]

This is amazing!

Sam Sylvia!

This is my sixth GLOW illustration. Slowly but surely I’ll get the full cast created.

[glowingadmirer]

And you both think the other is just looking at the ground. (insp)

I think this must be true. This is actually how I write. I sit down in a quiet space and close my eyes and watch the characters and the scene, then I write what they did and said. #reallytrue #alsonotschizophrenic

what if all the scenarios we make up in our head are actually real events happening in an alternative universe and we’re actually connecting with our alternate self’s mind

[glowingadmirer]

Holy Christ. Could definitely watch for days.

[glowingadmirer]

Yes.

do you ever just love a fictional character so much that you see a picture of them and your heart squeezes and drops EVERY time? like dam you aint even real and you got me weak

[glowingadmirer]

She's being an adorable instigator too.

Ruth smiling because…. 

[glowingadmirer]

This fucking show. All my love.

Are we going to talk about GLOW’s Emmy campaign ads?
