the reason the rings of power and every other movie doesn’t look as good as lotr is because when they made lotr it was one dude’s job just to hand-make chain mail armor for like a year
"I grew up in an area where the remains and ruins of past civilizations and cultures have always been omnipresent. Oftentimes at night, men went to excavate the sanctuaries and the ruins to look for objects to sell. I would always hear about their stories, about their nighttime discoveries, and they surprised me. I asked myself 'What gives them the authority to do such a thing? How do they think they can do something like that?' Because you can always escape the laws of the day, but it's much harder to escape the laws of the night, of the invisible, of the sacred things."
— Alice Rohrwacher on the origins of LA CHIMERA (x)
When we were starting, I was terrified. I've never been so terrified in my career. How do you take on 62, in Russia, speaking Russian? How has she changed? It felt like other than the essential core of who this person was, everything else was different. Trying to figure out how to navigate that over the course of six months, there were just days where it was very hard not to let the actual terror of that take over me. But I also think in some ways the fact that there was so much, there was just a certain point at which I was, you just gotta stop thinking about it and just d o. Every day, just do. It felt like the three seasons were about how the relationships had changed, and the confidence that comes with rising through the ranks. And this season I was just like, holy shit!
Wrenn Schmidt on playing Margo Madison in For All Mankind season 4
some of y'all are truly wild... this level of drama is so unnecessary. calling for the show to be canceled, somehow blaming the ACTORS, calling them "liars" and saying eric deserves to lose his job??
Either learn what that means or you can't use that term anymore
(Thanks to @rogueleader14 for showing me this)
An anti hero is not an antagonist who is likable or sympathetic, an anti hero is a protagonist who is unheroic in their motivations, someone who does/fights for good, but not necessarily for good reasons, fighting for things like profit or to save their own skin, basically their on the good guys side for selfish reasons, a good example of this would be Han pre character development
(Also I sincerely doubt Baylan is our first Force sensitive anti hero, pretty sure Ventress fits into that category after she split with Dooku, and there are probably others)
I'll grant that we don't precisely know what Baylan's motivations are yet
But he's trying to bring back thrawn, a fascist, so that thrawn can restore the fascist empire
That's not very heroic
And even if Baylan's motivation is a belief that the galaxy needs a strong hand to force it to be peaceful, that still doesn't make him an anti hero
Because y'know what? That's what Dooku and Anakin believed
In other words, Baylan, like Dooku and Anakin, is a fascist, or at least a fascist enabler
ides of march is closing out and i am once again begging writers and artists to consider utilizing classical themes or parallels and/or roman mythology in amrev projects. y'all are so talented it's insane.
art of them wearing togas? the founding fathers' wet dream. these men didn't stop thinking about the roman empire. literally their roman empire.
fanfic of them with heavy parallels to classical heroes or duos? once again, canon. they went around calling each other "caesar", "colossus", "cattaline" and writing under roman pseudonyms for christ's sake.
Because 31 is the Sloan number, I hereby challenge the fandom to collectively post at least 31 new fanworks tagged "Luther Sloan" on ao3 this year (2024) to celebrate! >:)

könig is secretly a pervert- he likes watching you sleep while he jerks off and he definitely steals your dirty undies and used socks for his own personal gain
soap is a feral fucking animal in bed, biting and grunting and spitting and pinning you down underneath him as he fucks you from behind, prone bone style
price- my dear sweet price, enjoys restraining you until your wrists and ankles are pink from friction. also enjoys spitting on your slit before going down on you while he finger fucks you
gaz is also a bit of a perv i think! definitely enjoys filming and documenting for his own personal stash of porn. spits in ur mouth and makes you swallow while he makes fun of you (consensually!)
and SIMON oh does he enjoy pet play. thinks it’s cute when you hump his boot while begging to cum. yanks on your leash to get your attention when you get lost in your own head from pleasure
the amount of somnophile könig stans in the chat tonight....please...please keep this coming. use my blog to air all ur dirty thoughts. i praise the
okay, insane people comment, but. Why the fuck is everyone writing about people who are broke making lasagna? Specifically Eddie. Do you know how expensive lasagna is? Real lasagna at least? A pound of mozz? And Ricotta? excuse me? And beef and sausage, and the right noodles that always damn break but are never on sale and they almost never have coupons for. We used to make it with drained cottage cheese, whatever meat was in the 'use it today or maybe die' sale pile, and you didn't mention that the top layer of noodles was sorta like the bottom of a bag of chips. And! It takes an age! Even if you don't make your own sauce, which several fics have referenced, it takes a long damn while just for the assembling bit. Then you bake it for a solid hour!
Stop saying that someone put together some lasagna, they have a quick talk and then pull it out of the oven. That's less believeable that monsters and dimensions and teenagers with emotional maturity and I don't know why but I have finally broken. Snapped. Stop with this imaginary lasagna from scratch that someone the fic is calling broken can afford to make or possibly make in that much time, please. please I'm begging you.
