Just checking in to say that I already had/heard 3 different conversations around Z today.

1) Whoever was worried about MGM and the movie not getting enough/any marketing at the time should be at peace 😂.

2) We put it up on Youtube and this joint is #7 trending. I know that FilmUpdates and them never seen numbers like this in 24 hours.

3) Whoever thought about putting S&M on there is a borderline genius at the very least. Now that remix was special, producer X you COOKED.

4) This trailer has insane replay value, the editor SMOKED that.

I just came on here to share something of note related to my job that I felt was somewhat relavent to fandom. I don't tend to like to reveal too much about my personal life on here especially as it relates to my job since I don't necessarily want anything irl connecting back to me on here so I'll keep this very, very general but I currently work for a nonprofit that centers around a very specific subfield within an acronym of the STEM umbrella. Most of what we do involves public outreach and education on that specific field through online articles, videos, magazines/journals, and events, etc. (as well as helping fund research, grants, and mentorships/job opportunities for people in the field, particularly of underrepresented groups).

Anyways I'm saying all this to say that today I saw we'd made arrangements to pay for media training for a few of our more higher up volunteers to help prep them for media interviews and to be good brand ambassadors for our org. The training includes things like reviewing talking points and going over sample interviews and interview tips and is expected to encompass at least a couple of hours per person. We dropped well over 10k on this expense. And this is all just for a few VOLUNTEERS for a relatively small nonprofit org in a very specific subfield/subject. Like I said we're a non-profit so we're obviously not just in this for the money or the good PR it may bring, even if we do still realize that those things are integral to our success as an org. And yet we still dedicated a sizable chunk of money and time to this endeavor for people who are not even technically employed by us. I just want y'all to let that sink in for a second and think about how much the scale of that extrapolates to ppl like celebrities doing what they do on the world stage.

Imagine how much more intense and in-depth something like media training gets when you/your image is literally the brand you're acting as ambassador for, and a shit ton of ppl behind the scenes all have their own stake in your success as a brand in the particular image/version of you (accurate or not) they want portrayed. now imagine you're a young impressionable child being made to sit through potential hours of mock interviews, being drilled with questions and "appropriate" talking points and the like until the ppl in charge of you are satisfied (tbh it's not hard to see how/why rebecca ferguson described it as akin to being brainwashed), and being foisted with all that responsibility/pressure in every single thing you do or say in front of a camera. Is it any wonder that you might eventually get to a point where you just paste on a smile and say/do whatever you're told to like a wind-up robot playing along with the role you've been given even to your own detriment (liam)? Or that you might get to a point where you just stop wanting to do almost any interviews at all cause you're sick of being party to all the fakery and bullshit (z@yn)? It's two sides of the same coin but both could very much be read as a trauma response

Anyway I just needed to rant a bit cause the stuff with work brought all this to the forefront of my mind and it forever infuriates me to no end that people still don't see (or don't want to see) how much of what we're shown and/or told is fabricated in the name of staying on brand for whatever version of their image a celebrity may be trying to sell in that moment

#media training #ziam #i have more thoughts on this re z's current image that I may or may not get to today #but I wanted this to be a stunts free post #so if I do get around to it any other further discourse (i.e. rants) will be addressed in another post #thx for coming to my tedtalk lol #✌🏾

Have no plans tonight. So my plan is to go home, shower, get my apartment icy cold and pretend I’m not a person. I just don’t wanna exist for the rest of the day.

He wouldn't call it falling out of love.

Not exactly. They'd loved each other once; deeply, fiercely. He'll never regret going against the world to get Bucky back, and he'll always be happy that they got the chance to try again. Despite the winding road of fate, he's glad they found their way back to each other. He'll always be grateful for that.

But things are different now; they're different men in a different time with different hearts. They want different things. They want different lives. Not so much falling out of love as they're falling into a different kind of it--not a wildfire, but the smoldering embers left behind, something warm and comfortable. Familar. He loves Bucky. But he's not in love with him, not anymore.

Bucky listens to him in that careful, patient way of his, and doesn't speak until Steve finally goes quiet. "It's Sam, isn't it?" There's no accusation in his question, no anger; he asks it in the same precise, knowing way one might ask the time or the weather when they're already certain of the answer.

Steve looks away, guilt sitting heavy and solid in his chest. But he answers, because he loves Bucky and if nothing else, he deserves the truth. "Yes."

Bucky's smile is a small, sad thing. "I thought so," he says, and he doesn't sound angry or bitter. His tone his matter-of-fact. Patient. Resigned. "You know, I was surprised you wanted to try again, after..." he makes a movement with his hand, a gesture to encompass everything before and between, all the moments that eventually lead them here. "The way you looked at him that day by the pier--you remember? You never looked at me like that, not even before.”

Steve nods. He remembers that day. Sam had been standing at the edge of the walkway, his face angled up to catch the breeze, the sun glinting off the sweat on his brow, highlighting the gold undertones of his skin. He remembers that day because it was the day he looked at Sam and finally named the warmth that bloomed in his chest whenever he thought of him: longing.

He’d spent countless nights lying awake beside Bucky and wondering how their story might have turned out had he not met Sam.

Would they have been happy? Could this have been enough? He knows now the answer to that question: he and Sam are joined at the soul--to know your other half is to always feel when it's missing. Even if he had never met Sam, he would have always felt that missing piece. But now that he’s found him, there’s no ignoring it.

“I want you to be happy,” Bucky says, and he has known this man long enough to know the words are sincere. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

“You deserve happiness too,” he answers. Bucky has been through enough and he deserves peace, softness, and a life with someone who can love him back. He wants that for himself, and he wants it for Bucky too.

They don’t say goodbye, because it’s not. It’s the end of one chapter for them, but the start of another. They’ll need time apart after this, but they’ll fall in step again later on, like always, this time as friends. Not the end of the line, but a fork in the road.

Bucky asks to be alone, so Steve sees himself out. He knows the route to Sam’s place from here like the back of his hand. He checks the time—a quarter after midnight. Sam can be a bit of a night owl, so it’s not unlikely that he’s still awake, puttering around his apartment or stretched out on his couch getting caught up on a show or two.

Steve zips up his jacket and crosses over to the next street. He doesn’t know what will come next. Maybe he’s read this all wrong, maybe it’s one sided. Maybe Sam doesn’t love him back. Maybe he won’t want to. Maybe he can’t. But when Steve walks away, he doesn’t feel like he’s leaving something behind. He feels, for the first time in a long time, like he’s going right where he belongs.
