EP 1 S4 TWO SWORDS

Look at this one. How lovely is she? 

They like them pale in the capital. Shows they don’t work the fields. 

Do I frighten you?

You like?

You’re a bit of mischief, aren’t you? I think she likes you. 

You’re not timid, are you?

Do you like women? 

The two girls can leave. You stay. 

Everyone who works for Littlefinger is on offer. Take off your clothes. We’ll be here a while. 

I’m a prince, boy. Have you ever been with a prince? 

Take off your clothes. 

My way.

__________________

Forgive me for staring, I… I don’t see many Lannisters where I’m from. 

We don’t like the smell. 

Hm! You know why all the world hates a Lannister? You think your gold and your lions and your gold lions make you better than everyone. Can I tell you a secret? You’re not a golden lion. You’re just a pink little man who’s far too slow on the draw. 

Long sword is a bad option in close quarters. When I pull my blade your friend starts bleeding quite a lot, I’m afraid. So many veins in the wrist. He’ll live if you get him help straight away. So… decisions. 

Apologies, my love. 

Ellaria Sand, my paramour. The King’s own Uncle Imp. Tyrion, son of Tywin Lannister. 

And what are you? His hired killer? 

How did that come to pass? 

We’ll need a few more girls, yes? 

You don’t partake?

Seems I visited the Lannister brothel by mistake. 

Even Dornishmen. 

Let us speak truth here. Joffrey is insulted. I am only the second son after all. 

I was invited to the royal wedding. 

The last time I was in the capital was many years ago. Another wedding. My sister, Elia and Rhaegar Targaryen, the last dragon. My sister loved him. She bore his children. Spoiled them, rocked them, fed them at her own breast. Elia wouldn’t let the wet nurse touch them. And beautiful, noble Rhaegar Targaryen… left her for another woman. That started a war and the war ended right here… when your father’s army took the city. 

They butchered those children. My nephew and niece. Carved them up and wrapped them in Lannister cloaks. And my sister. You know what they did to her? I’m asking you a question. 

Hm! So have I. The one I keep hearing is that Gregor Clegane, The Mountain, raped Elia and split her in half with his great sword. 

If The Mountain killed my sister, your father gave the order. Tell your father I’m here. And tell him the Lannisters aren’t the only ones who pay their debts.

Hello. 

Not you.

Your Grace, Lord Tywin. 

I don’t believe you have met Ellaria. This is the Lord Hand, Tywin Lannister and Cersei Lannister, the Queen Regent. I suppose it is former Queen Regent now. Lord Hand and Lady Cersei, Ellaria Sand. 

Bastards are born of passion, aren’t they? We don’t despise them in Dorne. 

I expect it is a relief, Lady Cersei, giving up your regal responsibilities. Wearing the crown for so many years must have left your neck a bit crooked. 

They call it the rich man’s disease. A wonder you don’t have it. 

People everywhere have their differences. In some places the highborn frown upon those of low birth. In other places, the rape and murder of women and children is considered distasteful. What a fortunate thing for you, former Queen Regent, that your daughter Myrcella has been sent to live in the latter sort of place.

EP 3 S4 BREAKER OF CHAINS

You’re greedy. 

You’re calling my beauty an acquired taste? 

Your loss. 

Does that surprise you?

Then everyone is missing half the world’s pleasure. The Gods made that and it delights me. The Gods made this and it delights me. When it comes to war, I fight for Dorne. When it comes to love, I don’t choose sides. 

What are you, 25?

Someday, if you’re lucky, you will wake up and realise you are old. That pretty ass of yours will sag. Your belly will grow soft and your back will ache in the night and grey hairs will sprout from your ears. No-one will want you anymore. Make sure you’ve fucked your fill before that day. 

They will all have to line up behind you. 

Lord Tywin. 

Would you like to sit?

Some wine?

I’m sorry about your grandson. 

I don’t believe that a child is responsible for the sins of his father. Or his grandfather. An awful way to die. 

Are you interrogating me, Lord Tywin? 

Some believe the sky is blue because we live inside the eye of a blue-eyed giant. The king was poisoned. 

I did. This is why I know. 

Rather suspicious. Why haven’t you thrown me in a dungeon? 

You think we conspired together? 

The death of my sister. 

She was raped and murdered by The Mountain. The Mountain follows your orders. Of course I blame you. 

You are unarmed and unguarded because you know me better than that. I am a man of reason. If I cut your throat today, I will be drawn and quartered tomorrow. 

So you deny involvement in Elia’s murder?

I would like to speak with The Mountain. 

He might not enjoy it as much as he thinks he would. 

But you want something in return. 

Why?

Well, you made the Tyrell girl a queen. Asking me to judge at your son’s trial isn’t quite as tempting. 

I never realised you had such respect for Drone, Lord Tywin. 

You’re saying you need us? That must be hard for you to admit.

EP 5 S4 FIRST OF HIS NAME

Your Grace. 

A poem, actually. 

I couldn’t very well refuse a royal escort. 

Not a very good one. 

For one of my daughters. 

Eight. 

The fifth is difficult. I named her after my sister, Elia. 

Yes. But I can’t say it without turning sad. And after I turn sad, I grow angry. 

Which joke is that?

We can avenge them. 

You really believe Tyrion murdered your son?

We will have a trial and we will learn the truth. 

The last time I saw her she was swimming with two of my girls in the Water Gardens. Laughing in the sun. 

You have my word. We don’t hurt little girls in Dorne. 

Anything at all.

I will have it sailed down to Sunspear for her.

I have an ear for that as well. 

How did you get here? 

One you don’t like telling people. 

My paramour Ellaria, she would find you very interesting. You should come to the brothel and meet her. We brought our own wine, not the swill they serve here. We have some lovely boys on retainer, but… You did like boys before? 

Really. Girls? Hmm. I hope you won’t be offended when I say I never would have guessed.

EP 7 S4 MOCKINGBIRD

I did spend some time with an absolutely stunning blonde the other day.

Your sister. 

Cersei approached me. We spoke a great deal about her daughter. How worried your sister is about her. She was trying very hard to pretend she had not come to sway me against you. I think she may have even believed it herself. 

It was difficult for her to hide her true intentions. It is rare to meet a Lannister who shares my enthusiasm for dead Lannisters. She desperately wants to see you killed. 

Yes, I know. We met, you and I. Many years ago. 

Unlikely. You had just been born. Our father brought me and my sister Elia with him on a visit to Casterly Rock. My first time away from Dorne. I didn’t like anything about the Rock. Not the food, not the weather, not your accents. Nothing. But the biggest disappointment… you. 

The whole way from Dorne, all anyone talked about was the monster that had been born to Tywin Lannister. A head twice the size of his body, a tail between his legs, claws, one red eye, the privates of both a girl and a boy. 

When we met your sister, she promised she would show you to us. Every day we would ask. Every day she would say “soon.” Then, she and your brother took us to your nursery and… she unveiled the freak. Your head was a bit large. Your arms and legs were a bit small, but no claw. No red eye. No tail between your legs. Just a tiny, pink cock. We didn't try to hide our disappointment. “That’s not a monster,” I told Cersei. “That’s just a baby.” And she said, “he killed my mother.” And she pinched your little cock so hard, I thought she might pull it off, until your brother made her stop. “It doesn’t matter,” she told us. “Everyone says he will die soon. I hope they are right. He should not have lived this long.” 

And what about what I want? Justice, for my sister and her children. 

I disagree. I’ve come to the perfect place. I want to bring those who have wronged me to justice. And all those who have wronged me are right here. I will begin with Ser Gregor Clegane, who killed my sister’s children and then raped her with their blood still on his hands before killing her, too. 

I will be your champion.

[alexs-shithole-of-stories]

Looking for the Yandere Boy! Channel (no not the growl dude.)

I’ve once listened to this one ASMR that gave me and a friend i showed literal CHILLS. I’m telling you it was one of the best things i’ve heard it wasn’t cringe or overly sexual at all it was AMAZING.

The sound effects were really REALLY worked on and the voice acting as well as the realistic reactions expected of the listener that we even try to escape (failed unfortunately).

This guys had a range of many good voices for each character (or perhaps it was others!)

There were two parts i found on YouTube.

The first starts with a faint piano and eerie ear muffling background effects and then the VA comes in laughing maniacally for the intro being a dramatic effect of Yandere Boy! Yes, with the exclamation point looking something like this but with text font and white with black background

Obviously it didn’t look exactly like this however.

Anyways

The video continues and basically we start with the VA saying “Oh hello…” and around the lines of “you’re finally awake” y’know classy yandere lines. After a bit he breaks the cell phone listener has after he answered a call from a guy friend i suppose suspecting our disappearance.

We take place in the basement chained up.

“Hello? Hey? Are you there?”

“Hello.”

“What? Who the fuck are you? Why do you have their phone? Wait. Don’t tell me..”

*Yandere VA laughs*

I should also let you know the music background is mostly piano music and with the touch of eeriness

I’m sure before or after the whole phone call the listener is being force-fed canned fish and maybe before that listener is revealed the psycho killed a loved one perhaps, in a black bag.

(Seriously the sfx for those scenes were GODLY you could even hear the flies and the scraping against the can MMM)

Then after a bit Yandere takes us to the bathroom to bathe, putting us underwater (while still talking to us with amazing underwater effects and after when he takes us out), after a bit he kisses listener calling them cute.

They go back down to the basement he wants to re-chain listener but they resist, later harming the Yandere VAs eye and run out of the basement, closing the door with something heavy (yes with the godly sfx), later we hide in the psychos room perhaps because we’re in a closed up room with no door that the psycho only knows about.

“Where cane you run…? Only I have the key…I SAID COME BACK”

Later he finds us in his room.

“I knew you were a smart girl in school but I didn’t think you were THIS stupid. Hiding in my room?… Are you under.. the bed?! Or maybe under…the DESK?!”

A bit after listener seems to strangle the psycho to death with him struggling considering the sfx. His “last words” in choked words being

“Darling…WE WERE MEANT TO BE— Darling- I-I love y-you-“

After that listener gets off of him, presuming he’s died but later we find out he is in fact alive after grabbing listener.

“Now where do you think you’re going?… Goodnight darling.”

That’s the first part. I’m telling you i am SEARCHING for this VA the Yandere audio was pure FIRE. I found it through an old YouTube downloader app that’s been long since deleted on my old android phone but I’ve never found it elsewhere. Even my roommate talked about the audio when i mentioned it and they loved it as well

I hope anyone else has too and knows what happened to the video(s). Please.

The second part long story short Yandere’s eye hurts from the injury listener gave him he can barely blink with it so they’re punished severely by being held by chains so long they have stretch marks. The police are getting involved at this point and listener is on the news and people question certain deaths that happened and seemingly male students mention Yuka Takaoka (this audio was the reason i found out about her honestly) we also get a small family background of Yandere Boy killing his brother because he liked listener.

One man police officer came to inspect Yandere’s house and saw listener which got Yandere and Officer into a fight. Yandere loses and “dies” being shot in the chest and we’re safely put into the police car, the Officer calls dispatch informing they’ve found listener coding Purple. Then the officer is murdered by Yandere after explaining he had a metal plate under. After getting the officer out her gets into the care saying.

“Oh how I’ve missed you…”

The video ends with him driving away with listener laughing like a maniac fading.

I am BEGGING that someone else heard this audio somewhere and if it still exists somewhere PLEASE LET ME KNOW

🙏🙏🙏

Interview with Phil Weinstein, director of Balto-2 and Balto-3

There were also several interviews with Phil Weinstein, published in Animation Source in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2012. Interview from 2008 is here in audio version, interview from 2011 is here, interview from 2012 is here, others will be published later. Here is the one from 2006 by Steet.  steet : How did you get the prestigious directing place of the films? PW : I was just finishing up directing on the Hercules TV series and interviewed for the job. I don't know who else interviewed for the position but it is usually a question of being a good fit for the show and also being available when they were ready to start. I was very lucky. steet : What was concretly your job in the production of the Balto sequels? PW : The script was written before I was hired, so my job was to hire and direct the artists in creating the show. steet : Were there any deleted scenes? Any interesting changes between the original scripts and the final cuts? PW : The original Balto 2 script was a little bit longer, so we trimmed some scenes for time, but otherwise it changed very little. For Balto 3 Kodi do not help rescue his dad in the orginal script. I pitched the idea of Steele being the one who volunteers to go help Balto on the rescue since in the original draft Kodi wouldn't go. I thought it would be interesting for Balto and Steele to be out alone together, you would always be wondering if Steele would betray Balto! The dog alert was added and the flashbacks to Kodi as a puppy were added in Jenna's song. The opening song visuals originally told more of the story of Kodi, getting promoted from the dog in the back to the front, and also the opening began with a postman addressing a letter, we follow the letter as it gets sorted, then bagged in a sack, then placed on a sled to get delivered. There are some elements of this in the final. The close up of the letter stamped airmail at the end of the movie was really just a pay off for what was set up in the beginning. The ice bridge sequence was added too. steet : What was the real reason for the voice actors change? Low budget? PW : Budget and availability of certain actors. steet : Was Aniu meant to be the White Wolf from the original Balto? Was it a new character, or was she already planned by the team working on the original Balto? PW : Yes, she was the White wolf from the first movie. steet : Why did Balto eyes turned white in Balto 2? PW : That was a mistake on the character model. There are so many things to keep track of on a movie production that sometimes the most obvious things get overlooked. We fixed that in Balto 3! steet : Does Dusty have a crush on Kodi or Ralph in Balto 3? Many fans say that Dusty looks a lot like Aleu, was it intended? PW : Well, there was an implied relationship between Dusty and Ralph in one scene. I'd always hoped we could work on more of that in the story, but there wasn't time. Yeah, I guess Dusty does look a little bit like Aleu, but it was not intentional. steet : Do you have any idea about what pushed Universal to make sequels? PW : No, I'm sorry I don't. steet : What were the budgets of the sequels? If you're not allowed to tell, was the budget for Balto 3 higher than for Balto 2? PW : I'm sorry, but I cannot share with you this information. steet : Maybe you know already, but Universal isn't planning to make another sequel; in answer to our petition, they said that 'not enough people bought the last one to make it attractive to produce another'. What is your feeling about this? PW : I don't know what the sales figures were exactly. I have some idea, but I don't know what Universal considers enough of a success to warrant a sequel. I really love the Balto movies, I wish they would make more! steet : Partly due to that answer, some of us are trying to make a Balto 4...Of course not a whole film, only a trailer of a few minutes, and without any budget. No budget...isn't that what you're trying to do with your current project? So, how does things go? Is it really possible nowadays to make a film with nearly no budget? PW : Yes, much easier to make a film with no budget nowadays. Cameras are much cheaper, and you can do most of the production work on a home computer. By the way, we have changed servers, you might have noticed that projectnolight.com is down. If you go to www.projectnolight.org you will be redirected to my company web site, I'm currently reposting the old podcasts. steet : Thank you very much for answering.

character opinion bingo: jim jimenez & izzy hands (OFMD)

(in regards to this poast:)

[murray hewitt voice] jim!!!!! my best friend jim!!!

the moths are all over the board for this one.

okay so. i have complex feelings about jim. on one hand, i love them. easily the coolest character on the entire show. but feel like we needed even more screentime with them then we got. i mean, hell, they fucking teleport onto the ship with no explanation. an entire bit was cut out about them lying to oluwande about their favorite color, only for them to open up later and tell him the truth. that's important! that's an important part of character development just... deleted. removed. reshaped.

i love the relationship with oluwande but i feel like it needs to be more fleshed out because, again, stuff got cut. but even aside from this, i feel like they were sidelined to favor the the leads.

but my main complaint is... how jim was handled. because, okay. yes. there were nonbinary people in the writer's room, but this is still a show created by a cis man. and jim is outed against their will. twice! the first being the most egregious, with their naked body being seen by lucius without their consent (to be fair, neither of them consented to that). and it's... sososo icky yucky. not to mention, if you watch the audio description, jim is consistently misgendered as "a young woman" and with she/her pronouns. i feel like it would have been so easy to say "an androgynous person" or even just "a person" or fucking. "jim".

there's also the fact that the way jim's identity is tackled on the show is that people loudly proclaim that they're a woman over and over again, and then suddenly characters are using they/them for them, and this is never explained. especially because nana deadnames them repeatedly (even if she uses the right pronouns). so every time i have introduced the show to a cis person, i've had to sit them down and explain "i know the show will tell you that jim is a woman, but they are transgender. they are nonbinary."

i don't expect jim to walk up to the camera and say "i'm nonbinary and I use they/them" pronouns, but more care could have been put into how their story was told.

my proposal, in a rewrite, would be as simple as jim's beard falling off in front of lucius. maybe it gets caught on part of the ship. the same events still play out, but jim isn't forced to be seen in the nude. and if jim did something like janet from "the good place" - correcting when someone says woman to "not a woman" - i feel like that would solve so much even without a full blown coming out scene.

ok. so. izzy hands.

here's the thing about izzy hands.

he serves a very important narrative purpose as the personification of homophobia and toxic masculinity. he's excellent as a villain. the show would not be able to function without izzy hands in it.

i found myself being repelled by him while watching, particularly because i watched the show at a time where i'd just cast aside a metaphorical izzy. for a while, i was deeply ashamed of the fact that i was a GNC man, and i felt like not being attracted to women anymore somehow made me lesser? less queer? and when i was watching the show, i was coming through on the other side of that. and before that, a couple of years ago, i was struggling with a lot of internalized transphobia.

and having sloughed all of that off of me like dead skin, I felt like Izzy's purpose was obvious. homophobia, bad. toxic masculinity, bad. he's less a character in his own right and more of a vessel for the societal attitudes at this time - he has this in common with the batminton twins and calico jack. very little depth beyond "this is a bully, and his motivation for hurting people is because he wants to."

(con adds to his character's lore, which is lovely and i'm glad he's doing this - but in the show itself, that substance just isn't there. maybe we'll get something more substantial in season 2 that rounds him out beyond his obsession with ed.)

but in the way that cishet dudes will watch "Fight Club" and "American Psycho" and walk away idolizing Tyler Durden and Patrick Batemen respectively - entirely missing the point of the satire of these movies - I feel like a lot of white transmascs watched this show, saw Con O'Neill in leather, and their brains shut off. I've seen people say things about Izzy Hands that is so far removed from the character we see on screen it's genuinely baffling to me.

Some people do Izzy Hands right. Some people say "this guy needs a lot of work" "this guy needs to leave Ed alone" or even "Izzy Hands should remain an unrepentant and bitter asshole, and the crew should treat him as such - which is to say, distance themselves from him."

But so, so many babygirlify him. And as part of that process, they do this horrible thing to Ed. They dehumanize him. They villainize him, and not even for the right reasons. How dare he break Izzy's heart, by not wanting to fuck him they say. Hey guys? Ed cut off his toe. I know you like to meme about it but that's a real criticism you could use instead of "this brown man is heartless and doesn't deserve boundaries." I hope that this isn't a revelation to anybody: No one owes you anything, ever. And Ed certainly doesn't owe a homophobic man that verbally abuses him and cuts him down for being emotionally open anything at all.

TL;DR - Izzy Hands isn't my favorite, but he's important to the plot, but also the fans irritate me to hell. Not all of them. Hashtag not all Izzy Fans. Hashtag some of my best friends are Izzy Fans. Hashtag hashtag. Disclaimer this is my opinion. Etc. Etc.

dr who asks!! 2, 12, 16, 18? o:

2. what’s your favorite moment with your least-favorite doctor?

My least favorite Doctor is 4, so that’s frankly a lot of material to comb through looking for the brightspots, forgive me if I’m forgetting something that should be obvious

(The honest answer would be saying it’s something from the audios Deleted Scenes or Fate of Krelos/Return to Telos, but I’m resisting that urge because it feels like cheating, since the things I don't like about 4 are all on TV. In the EU I’ve only interacted with things of his that feature characters I do enjoy, so for all I know the majority of his audios might address those issues, and it’s only TV 4 specifically that I’ve got anything against)

I like a lot of his back-and-forth with Romana I, especially in The Ribos Operation, though I think it’s largely due to Romana more than him. Her presence - and her introduction in particular - give him someone to bounce off who it’s harder to effectively be superior towards, so his general attitude feels less bullying with her than it can be with some other companions, right from the start - but also, since he’s got every right to be a bit offended that he’s suddenly been handed an assistant by higher powers, his resistance towards her is not only justified but more compelling to watch than when he’s being down on someone like Harry or Leela, which in my opinion is the kind of Doctor-Companion tension that detracts and distracts from a story, and gets old pretty quickly. His later interactions with Adric could also be considered a favorite of mine - especially when they’re more or less traveling alone together in Keeper of Traken and Logopolis - because they similarly bring out a new side to the character that I appreciated, again putting him in a position he doesn’t quite know how to deal with - so I feel like we see a little more genuine-ness from him than usual, even if it’s just that he’s genuinely perplexed/at the end of his rope with this teenager.

12. what’s a headcanon that’s you forget isn’t actually canon?

I did answer this! (but I couldn't manage it without name-dropping you twice oops) Polly’s racer ex-gf seems to have sunk especially deep into my brain and is just there now, can’t get it out.

16. is there a character you feel is generally misunderstood by the fandom?

I hear the words ‘character fandom doesnt get’ and Rose Tyler will forever be the face that comes to mind. But I feel like that’s still a somewhat spicy topic, and while the things I have to say about her are definitely not hate & honestly not even negativity towards her as much as a rejection of the more popular interpretations of her character, it still feels safer not to get into it lol. “Let people enjoy things” & all that

I think One is hugely flattened out by the fandom, to the point that when I first started Classic, I was convinced I wouldn’t like Two at all because of how surprised I was by how much I liked One. Yes he’s older and stuffier than his immediate successor, and yes William Hartnell was playing a character inherently different from what the brief is these days, but even people who talk about One in a positive light can frequently skip over many of his complexities & the different sides he absolutely does show us over his time in the role, to focus on his significance as The First & the character who established the show. Like he only gets partial-credit as an incarnation.

Six too - people often say his audios redeemed his character, but from what I’ve heard of them so far, his character hasn’t really changed at all, even though the caliber of plots he’s handed does improve (though I also don’t think his TV plots are that bad, I can’t pretend the audios haven’t been on the whole more polished). I understand why Six is so often painted as one of the meaner Doctors, but in a way it couldn’t be further from the truth - he’s abrasive for sure, but he’s SO liable to be sarcastic, pretentious, and downright scathing that the show embraces that, and even his messier TV-plots tie it in so that any serials that feature him being particularly morally questionable in one place also make a point of proving him to be ultimately good-hearted later on, in a way that doesn’t get prioritized with other Doctors who are less overtly biting. When 6 says something mean and then does something that really shows how much he cares, he comes off as both a kinder and more complex character than 4 continually walking through the universe talking down to people, but doing it with enough ‘charm’ that it doesn’t jump out to the writers as requiring addressing or justification. With 6 it feels like a trait that’s actively utilized in his episodes.

And this one does stretch my definition of ‘fandom’ a bit but there’s hardly a classic companion, but especially the 60s and especially the women, who I wouldn’t argue falls into this category. It hardly even feels worth mentioning in this context, because in my experience it’s not a problem among fans of that era & therefore the bulk of people who tend to be discussing Barbara, Susan, Vicki, Sara, Katarina, Dodo, Polly, Victoria, or Zoe... but then again, it’s 2022, so I suppose if you know any of them well enough to even mention at all, you are a fan instead of a casual viewer, and I’ve certainly seen reductive takes that must then technically count as ‘fandom misunderstanding a character.’ And I get how that would happen - the 60s is the beginning of the show, and format-wise, the most distinct from what comes after it (black&white, missing episodes, really diverse serial lengths all spliced up into 20-minute mini-plots) - and as such, it’s likely to’ve been watched by fans of later eras who are curious to make a comparison, but not necessarily likely to appeal to them itself, so you’d get a fair number of people who are more “fans of Doctor Who who’ve watched the era” without being “fans of the era.” But let’s not reduce our assessment of female characters to whether or not they scream a lot and then pretend that’s a feminist perspective, shall we? Just say you didn’t pay enough attention to her episodes to actually speak on behalf of her character and move on, jeeze. Don’t pretend that’s all there is to her just because you went looking for some poor un-emancipated female character from the past to cite as a talking point in your pre-written & deeply unoriginal argument about how far television/Doctor Who has come over the years

(This answer is already way too long to get into another rant, but I think that last one has a lot in common with EU writers who have to invent a new Jamie for their book because they’re writing for 2, so Jamie’s gotta be there, but they clearly missed or never really enjoyed how he was actually characterized onscreen.)

18. what other piece of media would you recommend to fans of doctor who?

ugh that's so hard because I think it depends so much on what you think of as the defining/alluring feature of Doctor Who, and there are so many it must change person-to-person. Plus, a large part of it being my favorite show is that I don’t think there are many other things like it at all. But I’ll try:

Obvious answer, but Star Trek TOS for highly-episodic, stand-alone stories through space/time. TOS’s years perfectly overlap with the Second Doctor’s run, and that alone makes for a v interesting comparison, both in content & production values/approaches (someone write a book on this so I don’t have to)

Hitchhikers Guide & Dirk Gently - also obvious, but despite the 4th Doctor’s run being a low-point for me personally, I do think the combination of tone & literal randomness in Douglas Adams’ stuff is very DW-ish in general. The 2016 Dirk Gently series especially is quite different from the books, but absolutely weird enough (while still being interesting & plenty follow-able) to appeal to an audience that’s into NuWho/I might even say Torchwood tbh. Honestly even Adams’ nonfiction Last Chance to See (a book recounting his travels to witness endangered animals all over the globe) might also appeal to Dr Who fans, again for its unique voice/tone, but also its approach to humanity’s history w/our environment & what we both hope & fear for the planet’s future. It’s more memoir than science, so it’s very Important Science Topic Through The Lens of a Lay Person, which I feel is itself the approach Doctor Who takes in exposing companions/its audience to the crisis of the week & its real-world relevancy

I know there have been short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, Nikolai Gogol, and Ray Bradbury that have the vibe of Doctor Who stories, but obviously that varies from story to story & I’m unhelpfully blanking on many of the specific ones. Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles in particular feels like a very relevant choice though - it’s basically a series of independent short stories that all take place over the course of several decades chronicling humanity’s attempts to colonize Mars. It definitely has that Doctor Who-ish mix of the scifi and the mundane and I think you could see anyone from like, Barbara & Ian to Amy & Rory inhabiting the same world these events are taking place in - it’s got that very slight touch of fantasy about it in some ways, and also reminds me a bit of the prose Short Trips. (oh and I just remembered Big Finish adapted some of them for audio with Derek Jacobi & Hayley Atwell!)

I haven’t read enough of H G Wells (including the literal Time Machine, I know, I know) but War of the Worlds might appeal to DW fans - I was surprised by how much the book focused on the impact an alien invasion had on everyday life, but really, that’s the whole point of it! So perspective/vibes-wise, I consider it Doctor-Who-like in that it’s scifi that’s not hugely about the complex lore or world of the aliens, but a couple of human people who are frankly shocked by suddenly having to handle life-threatening aliens in England. Donna in Turn Left could’ve been living in this book, if that makes sense.

The Road to Mars is a novel actually written by one of the Pythons (Eric Idle) and I don’t think it’s all that popular, since sketch comedy guys aren’t typically who you go to for scifi novels - but in that vein it’s sort of on its own, definitely not reliant upon a ton of high-concept/heavy scifi lore, it’s funny, and presents a universe that sounds compatible with some versions of the future that exist in Doctor Who. It’s about a comedy duo & their android who are just trying to make the rounds across the solar system as low-end performers & accidentally get caught up in a Big Scifi/Political Plot, so I’d say it has Doctor-Who-level antics & the wrong-place-wrong-time premise that has prompted many a serial

If 60s British television (at Limegrove Studios specifically!) and/or Peter Capaldi are enough to hold your interest in something that bears little resemblance to Doctor Who itself, I’ve been singing the praises of BBC’s The Hour for about a decade now, but it’s not at all scifi so that’s probably a weirder recommendation.

I’d also throw in The Umbrella Academy - I enjoy the comics but like Dirk Gently, the TV show probably has more in common with Dr Who - for time travel as a major plot element, characters forced to work/grow together in one of the weirder definitions of found family, and a world that’s allowed to be strange & interesting and sometimes unexplained (ie no dense lore behind its scifi parts, while still having plenty to think through w/paradoxes & foreshadowing to figure out & keep you engaged)

I’m not terribly far into it myself, but the Discworld series for that same anything-could-happen, sometimes it’s very stand-alone, sometimes it’s characters you’ll get very invested in, funny but poignant fantasy/scifi universe that doesn’t take itself too seriously but can make some Extremely Good Points through genre fiction

at this point it feels both redundant and necessary to say Gaiman

#sorry to vagueblog about rose #i've gone back and forth many times over the years on how much i should or should not say about her #bc I have a lot of thoughts & they're not so negative that I would hesitate to share them on just about any other character on earth #but tbh even tho i dont hate her character i know i view her in a light that would probs insult many ppl's personal belief systems for her #and that kinda feels even more controversial you know? since it's basically complaining about real live ppl/other fans instead of like #a fictional character #so idk if it'd be worth it #it might well bring more annoyance to fans of hers than it could relief to me #but ignoring that #ty for the asks! they're fun!

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone (B4You Remix) Terminator Music Video

 this is far less serious than its gonna sound like if anything i find it a bit endearing, but women are physically incapable of recognizing and avoiding controlled ops, the most based girl you know things andrew tate is bad ass. its because they are submissive and always seeking to submit to an authority, and in the modern age that means a celebrity. as a man i can agree with some of the things andrew tate or sean strickland says while recognizing them for the “ethnic” jews that  they are and with the understanding that they are literally turn coats who want us dead.

 Tate is a fed, his dad was a fed he admitted it on tape go on youtube, not just any fed but CIA a literal glowie, im not one for defending women but the audio of andrew tate beating on some shrieking whore for no reason other than monetary gain that was enough for me, and if im ever in a room with him and there is a rock handy i will cave in his FUCK UGLY head or get my ass whupped trying, and ive said it to him as directly as i can i mean hes a massively famous guy but hes also a champion kickboxer so i figured if i called him out on all his videos and his fans were in the comments underneath mine like “source on him being in the cia” and im there providing i expected SOME kind of response even just the message getting deleted ive gotten interactions from bigger celebrities for less, anywho, even if all that wasnt true i would hate him on instinct because he has a terminal case of faggot head and he talks like an absolute queer, i dont mean that in the homosexual sence and its not redundant with faggot i dont know how to explain it but hes as much a fag as he is a queer and ive never been aware of the distinction before really looking at this dudes fucked up jafar turtle head. sean strickland i desperately want to like but the UFC is OBVIOUSLY controlled like boxing is at a certain level, just look at who works on the commisions and in basically all positions behind the scenes, its show business, so i am aware that if the people need a hero they will seek to supply us with one and what better avenue for supplying do nothing heros than televised sports. sean strickland says all the right things but hes obviously fucking jewish, i fucking promise you, i can be more specific, he is descended from spanish converso sephardic jews who moved to australia, thats the phenotype, sephardics fly under most peoples radars start looking at people with hispanic last names more carefully, a lot of the tells of an ethnic jew are just subtle tells someone isnt ethnically european when if you didnt know better thats what you would mistake them for at a glance, when it comes to sephardics especially when they have middle eastern admixture from the south of spain, or indigenious admixture in mexico they will already present as none white so even someone pretty savvy might give a pass to attached earlobes dark eyes and or curly dark hair because these traits could just be indicators of southern moore spanish admixture, or again indigineous admixture in the americas. sean is saying all the right things... sort of, he was saying shit that would have been edgy back in 2012 and so is nate, no one is being exposed to anything new, they are both easy to dismiss if you dont already agree with them, nate being a faggot and sean strickland being “just some fighter” fighters arent known for their intellect or politeness so again easy to dismiss if you arent already part of the choir. neither of these men will name the jew, and in a post Ye world even naming the jew absolutely no longer gets you a pass, so how much more suspect is someone who claims to speak their mind and be fighting the matrix and redpilled but you wont name the jew in 2024?

 long story short women have no glowdar because they arent comfortable existing in a decentralized intellectual movement they need an authoritative nucleus to adhere around (in this case its celebrity) but i think its cute and none of this applies to you babe.

In the early days of Avid, I don’t think there even were sync locks, but, if there were, the default was for them to be switched off (this has now changed). So in this example, I’d work with a Media Composer timeline that looks like this: I want those to stay in sync with their clips. But the sound effects and dialogue are specific to the shots that I’ve placed them with. The music must be 60 sec long (often it’s a pilot track that’s already been composed to the correct duration), the end title has to be 3 seconds long, and the packshot and title has to come over that. Unlike most forms of editing, I prefer those elements to stay in place while I trim the others, and I never want them to move.Ī commercial timeline might look like this:Īs you can see, some of the items need to stay where they are. So often you put down elements that you want to keep in place: music, VO and titles are some examples.

#Display master volume premiere elements 14 tv#

Not because commercial cuts are simple-far from it-but because they’re short enough that you can see what you need at a glance.Īlso, a lot of TV commercials are music-driven, and the length is strictly adhered to. I then started using Avid on commercials with a lot more audio and video tracks, but I didn’t use the sync lock functionality at all. (I think there was something wrong with me because I loved working with him!) One editor I assisted used to actually name his clips ‘thing’, on the NLE, making my life as an assistant quite tricky. We used to love doing three-way dissolves by doing a dissolve in the NLE, playing that dissolve to U-matic tape and digitizing it again so we could dissolve from that digitized ‘thing’ to a new shot. The first NLE I used was a Lightworks with four (yes, 4) audio tracks and one (1) video track. Locking tracks will prevent them from moving while you move everything else. This essentially is the opposite of a sync lock: sync lock will lock tracks to each other so they will move with each other. In Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, you can also LOCK your actual tracks which prevents them from moving when you’re trimming. Some NLE systems do this automatically, like the magnetic timeline in FCP X, but there are plenty of occasions where you don’t want them locked together. Sync locks allow you to lock certain tracks together in order to keep them in sync with each other. If you only had your video track selected and you deleted some time, it would only affect your video layer, bumping everything else out of sync. In other words, if you were adding or removing time, you had to make sure you were doing it across all the tracks you wanted to adjust. In the early days of non-linear editing, the systems were designed to emulate a flatbed for film editing. You can’t afford to start trimming in the middle of your cut willy-nilly if you’re not 100% sure that everything else in your timeline is going to be where you want it to be. That’s where “Sync Lock” comes in. There are a number of ways to do this, but of course, the main thing you need to do is keep everything else in the right place. The director wants to add in a few shots and extend the montage part of this scene. This scene has dialog, SFX, buzzes and a couple of music tracks that correspond to specific hit points in the film. The director wants to change a scene in the middle of the film, one of the complex ones. The first and last scenes have both specifically got a lot of audio and video tracks, as do some of the scenes in the middle of the film. I have 26 tracks of audio and 5 tracks of video in my timeline. It’s 105 minutes long and fairly complex: I’m using Avid Media Composer because of its unmatched power when it comes to collaborative projects. I’m cutting a film and we are close to having the director’s cut completed.

IOTA Reviews: Rocketear

The Rocketeer is a 1991 Disney movie set in 1930's America where a test pilot gets a jetpack and uses it to fight Nazis and— Wait, what? “Rocketear”? Oh, damn it!

Let's get into the eleventh (chronologically the seventeenth) episode of Miraculous Ladybug's fourth season: Rocketear.

We start off with Carapace and Cat Noir struggling to hold back some T-Rexes brought back to life by a scientist Jurassic Park style. Seriously, they reference the movie in the same scene.

Why wasn't this the plot of the episode again?

After managing to tame the dinosaurs with a whistle of all things, Ladybug notices something's wrong with Nino after he gives the Turtle Miraculous back to her. Apparently, he's wondering why Rena Rouge (who he knows is Alya) wasn't recruited with him today. Ladybug tells him that he was the only help she needed today. In reality, it's because Alya has adjusted to her new role of supporting Ladybug behind the scenes in her new form, Rena Furtive.

And I'm not a fan of the new form. I get the camo, but it doesn't really help her blend in when her suit is bright blue. I think it's based off the arctic fox, but that animal is able to camouflage itself because it's fur matches the snowy environment. I'm sure a bright blue jumpsuit won't stand out when she tries to blend in at all. Also, the fact that Alya can just change her hero form gives even less excuses as to why Ladybug's new form is only when she uses her Lucky Charm.

Alya is struggling to keep this a secret from Nino because they don't have a lot of secrets in their relationship. Marinette says she can kind of get it because she had to keep her identity a secret from her friend and has to keep keeping her identity a secret from everyone else. Basically, she's telling Alya to suck it up because this is what being a superhero is.

So the next time she sees Nino, Alya tells him she's no longer Rena Rouge, but not about Rena Furtive, which troubles her. The very next scene shows Alya showing Marinette pictures she took of her new costume and asking her which version looks better.

You could always try reviewing Akuma fights. I heard there's one blog that does it when they're not criticizing the famous director Thomas Astruc on social media.

Yeah, in case you can't tell, Alya was only able to rent her brain for a few episodes because she really doesn't seem as understanding about being a superhero as she was in earlier episodes. In episodes like “Optigami” and “Sentibubbler”, we saw Alya use more strategy and show discretion as Rena Rouge, seemingly taking her job more seriously, but then this episode just had to go and piss it all away. I also love how the first time the animators made Alya's skin the same when she's transformed is in a single frame for a joke.

Alya thankfully deletes the picture, but Nino overhears her talking about struggling to find more content for the Ladyblog, and decides to go to the movies with her to help take her mind off things. Nino, in turn, proceeds to give the same reaction to the in-universe Ladybug movie that Astruc gives to the PV.

Apparently, that movie's already getting a sequel and it has a teaser. So was the sequel animated at the same time as the original like Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III?

Nino gets pissed the next movie in the Ladybug Cinematic Universe will feature Rena Rouge and not Carapace... even though Rena Rouge debuted first. The teaser then shows Rena Rouge falling for Cat Noir (yet another creative liberty taken by the writers or something Astruc's self-insert threw in himself), and takes it like it's the real thing. Dude, the first movie said Ladybug was afraid of cats, and the director yelled at the person it was based on for judging it. He clearly has a hard time distinguishing fiction from reality.

Alya leaves Nino early so she can go on patrol, but Nino sees Cat Noir heading out as well. He then watches a video on the Ladyblog where Alya praises Cat Noir which is totally not Astruc projecting or anything.

I don't know what your definition of a prince is, Alya, and I honestly don't want to know.

So Nino takes this as evidence that Alya is in love with Cat Noir and decides to tell Adrien, who naturally laughs him off. And just before you think we have an episode where Adrien plays the straight man, Adrien decides to visit Alya because he's afraid he accidentally charmed Alya.

Yes, because Cat Noir is so charming, girls are just fighting over him, aren't they?

We then cut to a black and white film noir monologue by Nino (dressed like a detective with a fake mustache), who decides to spy on Alya. When Cat Noir asks Alya if she is attracted to him, she naturally laughs him off, though Cat Noir is thankfully a good sport about it, even giving her a hug to apologize. Unfortunately, Nino took this the wrong way.

The next day at school, Nino takes Adrien into his “office” (it's really an excuse to reuse the boiler room setpiece), and shows him the picture of the hug. Adrien says that Alya would never fall for Cat Noir because she's always dedicated to finding out the truth and telling her boyfriend everything. What's Nino's retort?

Okay, several problems with this bit. First of all, why would Nino even tell Adrien any of this? What would it accomplish? Why not say all this to Alya while confronting her about her alleged unfaithfulness? Second, Ladybug didn't give Nino and Alya their Miraculous at the same time until it was an absolute emergency. She outright said in “Hero's Day” that she didn't have time to recruit Nino and Alya separately.

Ladybug: I'm sorry for what I'm about to do. I know I'm revealing your secret identities but I don't have time to find a good excuse to give them to you separately. Rena Rouge and Carapace, I need you both!

Nino and Alya kept their identities secret from each other until then, with Alya even keeping the fact she knew who Carapace was a secret as well. Nino didn't find out because “they don't hide anything from each other” (which I plan to talk about later).

Other than that, I actually liked Adrien in this scene. It was really investing to see him try to justify the whole secret identities rule while Nino blatantly said there was an exception. This is the kind of stuff I wanted to see when it came to Adrien doubting Ladybug, not him destroying things in his anger.

While Nino rants about how Cat Noir “stole” Alya from him, Shadowmoth sends an Akuma his way, turning him into Rocketear.

And the design he has is just boring. It's just a blue jumpsuit with some black spots that look like teardrops, a teardrop-shaped head and a visor. I think the reason this season's been relying more on past Akumas and using more Sentimonsters is because DQ is terrible at character designs. I mean, compare this suit with Aigraon from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (his Power Rangers counterpart is Wrench from Dino Charge).

The design does so much more with the teardrop motif, giving him a perpetually miserable face with tear lines going all over his body. Add that to a more diverse color scheme, and you have a much more visually stunning design. And this was created in real life, not rendered on a computer. I'm not sure if this is a budget thing or a laziness thing, but if it's the former, you really need to do better, animators.

The powers are meh, giving Nino the ability to fling explosive tears at enemies. It's a clever idea, and it makes sense he gets a power that parallels Cat Noir's, but I think maybe it would have been more interesting if he couldn't control the tears at all. Like, imagine if he was constantly crying like Blue Diamond, and with every tear he shed, Rocketeer could send it at whoever he felt was causing him misery, mainly Cat Noir, all while serving as a metaphor for people who blame others for their own personal issues. Better yet, make him look like the detective outfit Nino wore for the second act. It would have made him more unpredictable instead of making his tears generic projectile weapons.

Marinette and Alya see the fight and transform into Ladybug and Rena Furtive respectively, the former summoning her Lucky Charm, a projector. Is it just me, or has this been happening with Ladybug a lot recently?

Back to Rocketear, we get a good moment where Cat Noir intentionally lets the Akuma hit him so he can get a chance to resolve things diplomatically. See, this is a moment where Cat Noir's self-sacrificing nature feels heroic and not selfish like when he does it without Ladybug's permission to spite her. Unfortunately, it doesn't really go anywhere as Ladybug shows up and plays the recording Nino took (Alya found his phone earlier), while Rena Furtive uses her Mirage to give the audio to what actually happened that night.

Rena transforms back into Alya and embraces Rocketear, who apologizes to her for his behavior. And then he just... rejects Shadowmoth's power while looking like it wasn't that much effort.

At least when Chloe and Alya did it, we saw them struggling for a little longer. I guess maybe it's because Nino is motivated by his love for Alya, but I think it should have been fleshed out more. So Ladybug purifies the Akuma, gives Nino a Magical Charm, and Cat Noir is still unsure about his feelings for Ladybug at the moment, though they still pound it.

Back in his room, Adrien ponders why Alya and Nino get to know their identities while he and Ladybug can't, but Plagg points out it's because she's the Guardian. It's brief, but I do like seeing Adrien start to doubt Ladybug's judgment, and it looks like it'll foreshadow future episodes. This is a problem I've had since “Hero's Day”, and I'm glad the writers are finally acknowledging this double standard. I just hope they don't end up blaming Marinette for whatever happens later on.

Marinette, of course, apologizes for what happened between Alya and Nino, and I have to say... yeah, no. It's obviously Nino's fault here.

Nino really pushed personal boundaries in this episode, much like Marinette's friends in “Gang of Secrets”. Yes, honesty is a valuable trait, but sometimes, people have secrets they want to keep to themselves. Nino's idea of “not hiding anything from each other” is somewhat controlling, like he's demanding Alya tell him everything whether she wants to or not. The fact that he immediately assumed Alya was cheating on him without giving her freedom to make her own choices doesn't make him look good. Let's be honest, a more realistic outcome would be Alya choosing to break things off with Nino or at least lecture him about how she can do what she wants and keep the secrets she wants. But instead...

And that's how the episode ends.

Okay, Marinette just said she trusted Alya to make the right decision, but I highly doubt she meant this. Marinette strictly said Alya had to keep Rena Furtive a secret, and now she's telling Nino this despite the risk? The whole reason Marinette and Luka broke up was because Marinette had to keep her secrets from Luka, but now it's okay for Alya to be completely honest? How is this not a double standard?

This episode was just dull, and there’s not even much I can really say about it.. There were a handful of standout moments, and the stuff with Adrien was somewhat compelling, but Nino's behavior was just insufferable and dragged the episode down. The Akuma fight was weak, only lasting about four minutes at most, and while the Lucky Charm was more creative this time, the plot was just frustrating. It's really one of the weaker episodes this season.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch the better Rocketeer.

*Busts in with a plastic bag of crack* You want some crack, kids? I’ll give it to ya! 🥸 So Y/N forgot where she placed her phone at and her crush decides to call her phone to help hear the ringtone so she can find it better. However, Y/N forgot that she uses funny ass ringtones for said crush and even has funny contact pics/names for them in her phone. Said songs are “Something about you girl” by Ice JJ Fish, “Wap” but with Carl Wheezer’s voice, “Interior Crocodile Alligator”, and the NFL theme song. I would love to see head cannons of this for Hawks, Dabi, Aizawa and Bakugo.

“Something about you girl” - Hawks. He’s saved as “KFC” and his contact pic is of him making the light skin face that sent y/n to orbit (he thought she deleted it cuz it’s cringy)

“Wap” - Dabi. He’s saved as “Patchy the Pirate” and his pic is a blurred image of him chasing Y/N.

“Interior crocodile alligator” - Aizawa. He’s saved as “Dad of 20” and his pic is of him laying face first in his sleeping bag

“NFL Theme song” - Bakugo. He’s “Boom Boom Pomeranian” and his pic is of a Pomeranian with his hair photoshopped on it.

I know they’ll give some funny reactions! They’ll look at sis confused and she’ll just go “See about that...” and book it when she takes her phone. This idea had me busting my pancreas 💀💀💀

Bruh I- 💀 I’m literally hearin these damn audios as I’m reading this ask, I’m rolling. This is the best 😂

— 3. 2. 1. ACTION!! —

HEADCANON: Y/N loses her phone and forgets that she saved crack-fuelled pictures and ringtones assigned to her crush.

KEIGO TAKAMI [HAWKS]:

You were losing your fucking mind at this point.

Where the fuck could you have misplaced your cellphone?? You had to meet your homegirls at the club for girls night, PRONTO!!

Keigo raised a brow as he walked in on you basically tearing apart your living room for your phone, almost crying from frustration. “Whoa, kid. Ya lose something?” He had the nerve to ask when it was clearly the case.

Sure, there was a whole lotta things to love about this bird-man, but that smartass attitude was gonna get slapped outta him.

“dId yOu lOsE sOmeThInG- YES FOOL MY DAYUM PHONE!!” You huff, throwing another couch cushion on the floor before you fell to the floor in exhaustion. “I got to meet the girls for girls night in twenty minutes, and I can’t find my phone!” You briefly explain.

You heard him chuckle, pulling out his own phone. “Okay, okay, calm down, kid. It ain’t the end of the world, y’know. I’ll just call it and we’ll listen out for the ringtone.” He says, scrolling for a bit before finding your contact, pressing the call button and..

That’s when y’all heard it.

“THERE’S SOMETHIN’ ABOUTCHA GURLL! THAT JUST MAKES MY HEAD WANNA TWIRL!!”

Your ringtone went off under the couch, making Keigo look at you with the most confused face ever, his wings puffing up as he looked at you, yet you couldn’t stop laughing as he used one of his feathers to drag the phone from under the couch.

“What the hell, kid?? I though you deleted this cringey ass selfie!” He whined, looking at the contact photo of him making that dumbass lightskin face that had you howling the other day. “And what the hell is this ringtone?? AND YOU SAVED ME AS KFC??”

“BRUH I CAN’T BREATHE SHUT UPP—“ You screech as you curl up, tears pricking your eyes as you roll on the floor. Keigo couldn’t help but snicker, rolling his eyes at you as he got you off the floor, “Okay, you got some explaining to do.”

“Well, you see, what had happened was-“ You begin, trying to hold back your laughter before snatching your phone and purse, running out of the door. “I’ll see you later, KFC!! I’m running late!”

DABI:

“Aw, damn! Where in the entire hell did I put my phone??” You groaned.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time you lost your phone and you swore it would’ve been the last. But, you were so caught up on multitasking with so much shit you wanted to get out of the way, you completely forgot about your phone.

You sighed as you now have to tear apart the lounge that you JUST straightened up, making this much worse than it had to be.

“Hey, little mouse. What’s with all the whining and hollering for?”

“I can’t find my phone, I’ve been all up in y’all raggedy-ass lair lookin’ for my shit so I can bounce!” You say with an eye roll as you placed your hands on your hips, clearly not in the mood for the bullshit right now.

“Okay, calm down. It’s just a phone, I can just call it and you can listen out for the ringtone.” He said with a sigh as he brought out his phone, dialing your number and waiting for the tone to play. The two of you went from room to room, getting more anxious everytime the phone went to voicemail. You were visibly going to cry, there was no way that you could’ve left your phone anywhere that WASN’T in the LOV Lair.

“I swear, if you start crying, I won’t let you live it down.” You hear Dabi mumble to you as you both entered the last room, dialing your number one last time until...

“NYEOW FROM THE TOP, MAKE IT DROP, THAT’S A WHAP. BRING A BUCKET AND A MOP, THAT’S WHAP”

Your phone was jamming out on a chair, Dabi looking at you like you just committed a grave sin while the ringtone played. The longer he stared at you, wanting an explanation, you can’t help but burst into laughter as you crawl to your phone, and let the tone finish.

You just hoped that your crush was still going to hang out with you after this crackhead mishap.

“MACARONI IN A POT, THAT’S A WHAP. JIMMYY”

Dabi was literally at a loss for words, (lookin’ a lil like confused bakugou rn 👀) as you wheezed in laughter. “[Y/N]... what in the fuck was that?” He asked, you can tell he was serious from how low and menacing your name was said. You were either about to run for your life or die laughing.

“And why the fuck is my name, “Patchy The Pirate”? And what the hell is this photo?” He asked again. Man, was it getting hot in there or was it just you?

“Well, you see here, uh- MOINK!” You shout, howling in laughter as you were chased around the building. Kurogiri shaking his head in disappointment.

SHŌTA AIZAWA (DADDY. ERASERHEAD):

“Oh no.”

“Oh, no...”

“Oh, no no no no no..”

This cannot be happening, this CANNOT be happening right now. Lord have mercy, please let today not be the day.

“Goddamn it, where’s my phone?!”

Yep, your phone. Your new phone that Shōta got for your birthday, who you also had a huge crush on but would never tell that to ANYONE. You promised yourself that you wouldn’t lose this phone, it was definitely the most precious thing ever.

“Fuuuuck!” You whined, already on the verge of panicking while your tore apart your room for that birthday gift. “Hey, what’s all this racket for? I’m trying to sleep.” said your friend, roommate, and crush, Shōta.

“I-I’m just lookin’ for somethin’, Shō! Sorry for all this noise..” you mumbled an apology as you continued your search, swinging your arm around underneath the bed.

“You lost your phone, didn’t you, [Y/N]?”

DAMN, he catches on quick for somebody who sleeps 25/8. Maybe it’s because you don’t really have trouble looking for stuff unless it’s something really important to you.

You sighed, the embarrassment and disappointment washing over you as you laid in defeat on the floor. “Yeah.. I can’t find it..” you mumbled.

The older man sighed, cracking his neck as he got out his phone. “Okay, just calm down. I’ll call it and we’ll just listen out for your ringtone, okay? If we can’t hear it, we’ll track it.”

God, why was he so hot when he took responsibility? You couldn’t help but sit up and nod at his words as he scrolled through his contacts until he found your name, confirming the call until..

“INTERIOR CROCODILE ALLIGATOR. I DRIVE A CHEVROLET MOVIE THEATER.”

Your phone blasted the same line over and over, as hard as you tried to contain it, you couldn’t help but screech in laughter when you looked up to see Shōta’s disturbed, confused, and concerned face as he picked up your phone from underneath your dresser.

“”Dad of 20”?? What the hell type of name is that?” He asked, the iconic sleeping bag worm as his contact photo. The joke behind it was the fact that he was a whole teacher at U.A. You always thought it was cute that he was basically a father figure to those future heroes.

Plus, you wouldn’t stop joking about them being his, “lil chilrens”.

“Aight, aight. I wanna thank you for finding my phone, I promise not to lose it again!” You quickly say, trying to creep out of the room until you were confined with his capture weapon.

“I’m not done with you yet.”

Fuck..

KATSUKI BAKUGOU:

“Hey, dumbass! Hurry up, or we’ll miss the movie!”

Damn, damn, damn!! You can’t believe you just lost your phone right now, you could’ve sworn you left it on your bed before you started fixing your hair in the bathroom.

“Shit, shit! Bakugou, can you help me find my phone real quick? Pretty please?” You call out to him, really anxious because you were really looking forward to this movie and you could not miss a second of it!

“Ugh, are you serious?? What did I tell you about keeping up with your shit!” He groaned, getting out his phone as he dialed your number and listened to the trill.

“I know, I know! I promise I’ll be more careful!” You say as you listened out for it, only to pull aside your blankets to see your vibrating phone with the ringtone on blast.

Oh yes, the NFL Theme. What made you lose your shit was Bakugou’s flabbergasted facial expression as he looked down at your contact photo and nickname for him.

You couldn’t help but cackle as you saw a vein pop out, popping hands reaching out for you. “Hey! What the fuck is this shit?? Imma show you a pomeranian!” He shouted.

“Katsu! Katsu! Relaaaxx!! You know you’re my bestie and I love you, but we got a movie to catch so let’s do this later fam.” You snicker, trying to calm yourself down as you yoinked your phone and took off out the door with your purse.

“OH, JUST WAIT UNTIL WE GET BACK HOME!”

— END SCENE —

Sorry that Bakugou’s was kinda short! But, hope you enjoyed these!

Masterlist

Tom Holland x Reader (Smut with Plot) (Strangers/Client-to-lovers) Word count: 4.6k Warning: smut, inappropriate use of microphones and headphones, mirror sex, floor sex, strangers/client-to-lovers, frustration, oral (male and female receiving), teasing, small mention of smutty audio, cursing, masturbation, and dirty talk

-

The walls were decked out with pictures, and autographs of amazing actors and artists. Two chairs were seated in the middle of the room, with many microphones and a few headsets. The floor was completely dull, but up on the celling, was a mirror facing down on anyone who was in the room. You always thought you had the coolest job, getting to vocal train celebrities for movies and songs, but today you were feeling a little ticked off. You have been working all day with actor, Tom Holland, who had absolutely no idea how to moan sexually in the microphone. It sounded ridiculous, to be seated there with a man, moaning into a mic, and trying to teach him how to copy it. You were trying your best, but he just really couldn’t do for some reason. When you met him, he was very kind to you, and you thought at most it would be a thirty-minute session.

You sighed out, looking at him with irritation and frustration as he coughed into the microphone instead of moaning. It wasn’t that hard in your mind, all he had to do was lean forward and let out a few noises, but he was proving it to be impossible. “Hey, okay let’s try another version.” You brought out, signaling to Tom to sit up straight, and breath in. He watched as you sucked the air in, tilted your head back and closed your eyes, breathing out the sounds, resembling moans. He shuddered at your voice; glad you didn’t see his reaction. You glanced over to him, as he tried copying your actions. But he just couldn’t do it, it was way too hard. You were just here moaning all day, and he was trying so hard not to make a sound, knowing he would embarrass himself with a popping boner. He already had one, but he was trying his best to hide it. You had no idea he was arguing with himself in his mind.

He felt guilty. The looks you were casting him were starting to make him feel like he was in a sauna, and he started sweating from the lights. It’s been five hours with only the two of you, moaning into the microphones, and he’s been trying so very hard not to listen to your moans. How was he supposed to though, when he was wearing the headphones? And to moan along with you? It was way too hard. You were very attractive, and with the way the lights hit you, and the sounds of your moans, he tried very hard to keep it down. He had failed though, and you didn’t even notice. He was so grateful that you didn’t even look down at his lap, because it was obvious, with the way he was crossing his legs.

You were also very much his type. He couldn’t help but be attracted to you, watching as you scrunched your eyebrows in concentration as you listened to him splutter out bullshit about why he couldn’t moan.

It was nearing six hours now and you had to take a break. It was getting too late and you were getting too annoyed. You didn’t want to come off as rude to him, but you were also so confused why he couldn’t simply moan with you. It was just so strange! It was an easy task, just let out a sound and sound like he’s having sex. But nope, you glanced back to his face, with hidden irritation, was this guy a virgin? You were just too confused. You had to leave, just get out of there for a bit, maybe grab some food.

“Hey, uh let’s take a break. I’ll be back in a few; you can stay here. Do you need anything?” You spoke up, pushing the microphone away from your face, and taking off the headphones. You internally groaned, thinking about all the audio recordings you’re going to have to delete after you finally teach him how to moan. Tom popped up, still with hiding his erection, and took off his headphones. “Yeah, sounds good! And I’m all good, you don’t have to get anything.” He smiled back, and you instantly sighed out, relieved.

You stood up and waved to Tom as you practically sprinted out of the room. You huffed out a breath, shaking your head again at the situation. You walked out of the studio and went down to the deli across the street. It was a great place to relax, it was usually quiet, and it had the best sandwiches. You ordered you favorite one, and sat down, with another sigh. You didn’t get your sandwich for a little bit, but you were alright with that, as long as you got some rest. Oh, how much you hoped you could finally get him to moan into the microphone.

Tom was fucking moaning now. He couldn’t help it, the moment you left for sure, he pulled his cock out. He felt relieved it was finally out of his pants and he gasped when he placed his hand around the base, closing his eyes lightly. He pumped it softly, gasping and moaning in relief, from waiting so long. His thoughts were surrounding all about you. When he heard he had to come here and get lessons, he felt so irritated. It made no sense that he had to be trained how to moan, and he expected the instructor be an old annoying man, but no, it was you. Tom felt so surprised, seeing you moan for the first time, and then immediately after he felt a twitch.

Now, all he could imagine was your moaning again, how your eyes closed tightly, and you moaned like you were orgasming. You told him to play along with you, but he couldn’t, he was too busy and enchanted by you, and started to twitch again. Now, he circled a finger over the slit, gathering pre-cum and smearing it down the rest of his cock. He pumped again softly, groaning from the relief, and he started going slightly faster, enjoying himself.

His mouth was propped open, and he tilted his head back, looking into the celling mirror with another moan. He could just imagine, looking up and seeing you slide your mouth over his cock sloppily, and the two of you enjoying yourselves. Another image faded its way into his mind, as he pumped harder but slower this time, now completely imagining you and him together. You would have your legs spread out, as he circled his tongue over your clit with loud sounds pouring out of the two of you. His loud groans and moans filled the studio, trying to work himself out of the hardness he tried so hard to fight. They echoed back through the headphones, as he slid his hand down over again.

You were three steps back into the studio, when you heard it. You gasped in relief, thinking he finally got it, how to moan into the microphone. You placed your bag onto the ground instantly, and ran over to the room the two of you were working in. In front of you, Tom’s loud moans echoed into your ears and you gasped again at the sight. He gazed over to the door, thinking he was just imagining the noise but once he saw you, he stopped. The two of you stared in shock at each other, and you both turned dark red.

Tom quickly took his hand off his cock, trying to push it back into his pants with utter embarrassment and fear. “I’m so sorry!” He cried out, stumbling up to stand, and wiping his hands on his trousers with a scared tremor. You were still in shock, but you kept replaying it in your head- the scene of his hand wrapped around his cock standing tall and moaning loudly.

You didn’t know what to even say, but a thought hit you, what if you just…play along? What was the harm in that? Nothing was, both of you were frustrated in very different ways, but you loved a good fuck. You took a small step forward, blinking and breathing in, trying to understand what to do. He was moaning, and you were stubborn- you had to do your job, but maybe you could do it in a different way? All he had to do was moan on screen, and maybe if he could repeat those lovely moans you have been waiting for all day, it would be considered a success. “Tom…” You trailed off, scratching your neck, still blushing on interrupting him. “What if- would you maybe want to do that again?” You asked, instantly regretting your words as his jaw dropped in shock at the suggestion.

“What do you mean?” Tom managed to press out, as he zipped up his pants, still shaky. You stepped over to your microphone picking it up and playing with it. “Moan,” You bit out unsurely, just hoping you weren’t overstepping boundaries.

Tom felt his eyes pop out, “Moan?” He questioned, stepping a little closer to you, now with a feeling stirring in him. Your eyes slowly gazed up and down his body with a small nod, making Tom shiver slightly. He took another step forward closer to you with a loud swallow, trying to understand you fully, “What do you mean?” He repeated, in a lower tone and gazed at you.

You sighed out, licking your lips and looking down at Tom’s lips. “I mean, do you want to play along with me?” You propositioned, and Tom felt his breath hitch, gazing back down to you, feeling his lust start to flare up again. He moved one of his hands closer to you, reaching out to hold onto your arm.

“Fuck…” He whispered out when you took one last step to him. You looked back up to his eyes, “Want to play with me, Tom?” You questioned, with a light tone, holding back a smirk as he shuddered slightly again. Your hand trailed up onto his shirt, feeling his heartbeat speed up.

Tom closed his eyes, and sighed out, making sure this was real, as your hand slid slightly further down. “Yes, fuck yes, please.” He spoke back making you snap your eyes back to his face with a smile now, happy that he agreed. Your smile made Tom shake his head at you with a small chuckle, “I’ve been trying to calm down for so long.” His confession made you raise your eyebrows with a spike of frustration.

“You mean, you weren’t moaning into the microphone because of that?” You questioned, pushing him back slightly, now feeling angry and horny. Tom gasped at your actions as you continued pushing him back all the way to the wall, still holding onto the wireless microphone. Tom hit the wall as you pressed your hand deeper on his chest as he started nodding frantically, “I didn’t want to- I just, fuck-” He paused as you dropped the microphone, not caring about the screeching feedback. Your other hand went down to his belt, tugging it free.

You brought your other hand to help, as Tom shuddered again at your movement. You quickly tugged it free, and you snapped it off with force, making Tom gasp at you. “Fuck, I just didn’t want you to see what reaction I had.” He explained, making you pause again looking up to his face with curiosity. You scoffed at that, and you dropped your attention from his trousers, quickly tugging his head down to yours.

You kissed him with a frenzied fury that he only met back with twice as much. This time, he pushed you backwards, while he walked back to his chair, kissing you even harder. You felt your legs knock into the chair, making you buckle back, and Tom leaned forward, not wanting to end the kiss. You ended up pulling away from him as you fell back onto the chair with gasps for air. Tom breathed in heavily, as the two of you gazed at each other.

“You made me wait for six fucking hours, Tom. Fuck…” You trailed off, wiping the saliva from your chin as he chuckled at your words. His hands went to his shirt, unbuttoning it, “To be fair, I wouldn’t have waited so long if I knew this would happen.” His words sent you into a silent agreement. You casted your gaze down to his chest now, after he shrugged off his shirt. He grinned at you when you looked back up to his face.

You stood up, flushing at every single action that went on between you and Tom as he zipped his trousers back down, leaving his underwear on. You didn’t make any movement to take your clothes off as Tom reached back down and slid his shoes off. You glanced back behind him, and walked over to the door, locking it and making sure no one else would see or walk in, like you did. But it didn’t really matter since it was only you two here now. You circled back to the wall, grabbing the microphone you dropped earlier and gazed back to Tom as he spoke up, “I’m sorry about how long we’ve been in here by the way.” His words made you blink, and you shook your head at him.

“It’s fine. Sit down,” You paused, turning back around and facing him as he raised his eyebrows at you, but still sat down into the chair. “Put your fucking headphones on.” You finished up, making Tom hold back a gasp. He didn’t make any move to take his cock out of his underwear, but it was starting to bother him even more. He took the headphones off the stand and placed them over his head as you brought your microphone up to your mouth.

You breathed out, feeling your heart race at what you were doing. But it felt good. You moved over to Tom slowly, watching his reactions as you lowered yourself in front of him. His legs spread apart with a touch of your other hand, and you whispered into the microphone, “You better fucking moan.” You were still angry at the fact he held it off for so long, but on the other hand, you were slightly impressed. He huffed out a breath of air at your words, starting to shudder as your hand moved closer to the top of his boxers, and you scooted even closer.

He chuckled at your words, grinning down to you with a flushed face, “Then make me.” He mumbled back, making you scoff. In an instant, one of your fingers slipped in under his boxers, and pulled the band back, letting it go with a harsh snap to his stomach. Tom flinched at the feeling, with his eyes widening back to you, “Fuck…” He trailed off when you rolled your eyes again at him. You didn’t move to take his boxers off still, instead ghosting your hand over his erection, making Tom hold back a whimper.

He wasn’t going to moan just now, of course not. He was going to try and wait it out but when you pushed your hand in slightly more, to hold onto his clothes cock, he whimpered at the feeling. You smirked, feeling satisfied with that little noise as Tom scoffed at himself, hearing it play back even louder through the headphones.

You moved the microphone right up to your lips, giving it a soft little kiss while staring back up to Tom. He shuddered again from the feeling, the noise bouncing into his ears. You grinned at the reaction, and leaned back down to the microphone, sending a slow lick. While doing that, your other hand stroked his clothed cock, and looking into his eyes. Tom bit down his lips, huffing out a few breaths and dropped his head back, finding his original goal of not moaning to be difficult.

You giggled out at him again, and moved the microphone down to your other hand, where the mic just lightly touched his cock, making Tom shudder. “Please…” Tom begged, gazing back down to you, hands going to your shoulders to pull you in closer. You giggled again from his beg, finding it satisfying and finally deciding not to tease him anymore. You moved the microphone to tug down his boxers, grinning at his relieved facial features.

The microphone barely touched his cock and Tom felt himself groaning at the relief. You raised your eyebrows, proud that he finally let out a sound like a moan. You pulled the microphone away, and took one of his hands, handing him the microphone. He left it in his grip, confused at why you gave it to him, but your hands grasped around his base, and you leaned down giving it a soft kiss. Instantly, Tom understood why you had him hold it right there, as he felt and heard the pleasure, doubling it. You smiled into your actions, feeling how he tensed up, gripping the microphone even harder.

You moved your lips further, closer to his tip, giving it an open-mouthed kiss, making Tom let out another groan. You kissed again, sliding your tongue on the underside, and Tom responded with another shudder this time. You pulled away slightly, only to go back pushing him into your mouth, gathering saliva over his cock, and you moved further down, collecting as much of him as you can.

“Oh, oh, fuck, shit.” Tom grunted out, trying to calm down, feeling your mouth and tongue on him, and the sounds you were making. He could feel the loudness in his ears, and he felt like he was experiencing euphoria. He opened his eyes, looking straight up to the mirror on the ceiling and he chocked on his moan, realizing his imagination was playing out.

Tom tried calming himself a little bit, but you licked and brought him back to your throat, making him whimper. “Wai- wait, I don’t want to-” He started, and you instantly pulled away, worried that he didn’t want to continue. You gazed up to him confused, as he continued to breathe heavily.

“I don’t want to come right now.” He finally explained, and you smiled back to him, laughing at his statement. “Yeah, that sounds good.” You agreed, standing up as he cursed at himself, looking down at his frustrated cock. He wanted to drag this out as long as possible, to get every pleasure out of it. He gazed down at your clothes with a shake of his head, “May I?” he asked, signaling to your outfit.

You nodded to him, as he stood back up with a smirk, immediately pushing your shirt up, over your head, and bringing you back into another heated kiss. You hummed into the kiss, opening your mouth to allow him to push his tongue in. You moaned into the kiss, making Tom groan along with you, and you felt a spike of pleasure run straight to your heat. He walked back towards the wall with you, still holding the microphone in one hand, as his headphones ripped off his head from walking too far away. You barely cared about the expensive headphones as he pushed you back against the wall, similar to your earlier actions. One hand snaked over your stomach, and up further to your right breast, giving it a soft squeeze.

You gasped as his fingers trailed underneath your bra and pinched at your nipple. Tom grinned, pulling away from the kiss and breathing hard, looking down at your chest. He moved the same hand back around your back, quickly unclipping your bra and tugging it forward to let it fall near your feet. You kicked it away as he quickly leaned down, sucking your nipple into his mouth. You gasped again at his bite, and Tom’s other hand quickly went to your mouth, twirling the microphone to the other end.

“Suck.” He murmured to you, pushing the end of the microphone into your mouth and you instantly started; gathering the spit around it as he turned his attention to your left breast. He smiled down at your breast, knowing you probably wouldn’t see, and leaned down giving it a soft lick. You whimpered around the base of the microphone when he took your nipple into his mouth, licking round and round. He softly sucked and bit, making you moan again, and he sighed again, finding pleasure in your voice.

You felt yourself throbbing as he licked away from your nipple, sucking and going back to your neck. You pulled the microphone out of your mouth when you started feeling lightheaded by it, and you tilted your head to the side, giving Tom more access to your neck. He bit down on your neck, making you gasp, and he continued sucking and licking, pressing little open kisses over you. He leaned back, breathing in greatly and gazing back to you.

“Still got to get you to moan.” You whispered, grinning as he laughed back, stepping a little away from you to wave a hand through his hair. He cocked his head back to you, “Do you really think you can?” Tom taunted back, making you roll your eyes playfully.

You pushed yourself off the wall, going back to the center of the room, and sitting on the floor. “Come join me,” You paused, looking over to him with an innocent feature on your face, “Pretty please?” Tom shuddered again at that and instantly followed your actions, coming down and laying back.

He glanced up to the mirror with a slight breath in, watching as you slowly shook your way out of your pants. His breathing came out unsteady as you both made eye contact through the mirror, and you leaned back down to sit. He shook himself out of the stance and turned his body towards yours, “Fuck, you’re gorgeous.” He whispered, leaning in and kissing your lips again. By now, your lips were all puffy and red, and saliva dripped down from your chin, and it was smeared across your cheeks.

You smiled into the kiss, before pulling back. The two of you took a few moments to gaze at each other in admiration and silence. You smiled down at his chest, seeing the sweat glisten from the studio lights and he broke the silence. “Can I?” He stuttered out, now feeling unbelievably shy as he wondered how this all happened.

“Can you what?” You questioned back, muddled by his shyness. He glanced down to your heat and you felt more redness travel to your face, “Can I eat you out?” He asked, sitting up and looking back down to you. You laughed at his question, instantly nodding, “Yeah sure.”

He grinned in excitement, shimmering down and going in between your legs, looking down in amazement. You giggled aloud from his facial expressions but once he looked back up to you, you quieted down. He smirked to you before going straight in with a long swipe, striking right at your clit and you gasped at him. He smiled at the noise and licked again, harder this time, and taking the microphone out of your hand. Your head was tilted back, watching from the mirror as he continued to lick at you. You gasped when he plunged two fingers in you, going back and forth as he licked around.

He finally stopped licking, and started sucking straight on your clit, and you moan loudly from the feeling of his fingers and mouth. “Fuck Tom!” You moaned out, feeling extremely happy this was happening. You glanced up to the mirror again, watching as he went down on you with lust and desire. The microphone in his hand came up to your entrance as he took his fingers out and looked back up to you with a silent question.

You looked back to him with a quick nod, and gasped when you felt the cold piece of the end of the microphone slowly move against your entrance. You were wet enough, and so was the microphone from your saliva earlier, and Tom slowly pushed the microphone past your entrance as he continued rubbing at your clit. Moans and groans came out of you as he pushed the microphone in, and you gasped at the feeling of being full.

You felt the throbbing continue as a heat flared up in you. You started feeling moaning more and more, “Tom, please.” You cried out, feeling him slide the microphone back and forth with force. He leaned down to the head of the microphone with lust as he licked around it, collecting your juices as you watched from above, shivering and squirming from the sensations. Right when you started to feel like your orgasm was near, Tom pulled out the microphone, smirking at you.

He quickly replaced the microphone with his cock, as he plunged back into you with a loud moan. “Oh fuck, how are you so tight?” He moaned out as you sighed feeling even more full now. He moved both his hands, gripping your hips tightly, and pushing back into you with another loud groan.

You moaned as well, but you couldn’t help the small chuckle coming out of your mouth, “Tom, you moaned.” You giggled out as he laughed along with you breathless. He leaned down, kissing you deeply again, and you opened your mouth, accepting his tongue. You groaned against his lips as he pounded into you again, this time deeper and slower. You pulled away from his kiss as you grinned to him, quickly rolling each other over, to where you were on top.

Tom’s eyes automatically fitted up to the mirror and he moaned at the sight. You were perked up on his cock, riding him feverishly. His hands went back to your hips, helping to lift you up and down, and you lulled your head back up to the celling with a sex-dazed look. You licked your lips as you and Tom made eye contact in the mirror, “Fuck, do you see the way I’m riding you? Do you like it?” You pressed out, grinding down deeper onto his cock, making Tom grunt out.

He was breathing heavily, “Yes, fuck, I love it.” His voice came out rushed as he started lifting you up and down faster with shaky palms. You nodded along with him, as you started to feel your orgasm build up again, “Tom, I’m going to come.” You muttered, breathing unsteadily as he slammed you harder and harder against his hips. He groaned at your words, feeling the pressure in him as well. You closed your eyes, moaning loudly, with your head dropped back, feeling yourself come on him. He gasped at the feeling of you clenching around his cock, helping him along, as he pulled you off with a moan. His come came out in spurts and you both watched each other in the mirror above you with heavy breathing.

“Well, fuck.” You whispered, trying to calm your breathing. You gazed back to Tom, moving the side of your head to the ground. He chuckled out, gazing back at you with a dopey smile, “Yeah, you made me moan.”

You two sat silently for a few moments, watching each other before breaking out into laughter. “Great, shit. That was good. Maybe next time just tell me you were horny, Tom.” You replied, wiping the sweat off his face with a small smile.

Tom sat up with a happy smile, “Next time?” He questioned, looking down at you with excitement. You nodded in return, huffing out a laugh, “Don’t you remember? I have you booked for the entire week; you also need to learn how to scream properly. Today was just for moaning.”

- DISCLAIMER

First off, this is not meant as a post where I am saying look here, this is the only and perfect way of giffing. Not at all. When I started out, there were many tutorials available that helped me figure out how to gif, and I slowly developed my own style and I would like to create an in depth tutorial that helps you grasp the basics. Heck, make your gifs whatever way you want, go absolutely crazy on colours or whatever, this tutorial is just here to guide you through the process of gifmaking, because I know it can be very intimidating to people who are just getting into it. That is why I made this and why I spent 8 hours writing this, because I want others to know too and this is the kind of in depth tutorial I needed when I was starting out 4 years ago. Thanks for reading, hope it helps and go crazy ahhh go stupid. 

★★★★★

- what will you need to create gifs?

photoshop. I use photoshop CC 2020 on a mac and I pay monthly bc of student discount. There are many, many links you can find on @completeresources for downloads. You can use any photoshop you like, as long as you have the timeline option. 

Handbrake. This nifty program is used mostly to convert MKV files to MP4, but I also use it to quickly extract the part of the video I want, because opening an entire movie in photoshop can quickly clog up space bc of cache and it’s a pain to find that one second scene you want with that tiny scrollbar. Download it from here.

your video (downloading explained down below)

extras: VLC, just to find how many seconds the scene is at, so we can input the time in Handbrake. You can use any other player though for that step, I use VLC or Quicktime. Download VLC from here.

★★★★★

- how to download videos

Ok so I will quickly go through a few methods here for getting your clips. 

1. t*rrenting.

This is the most popular method for getting your film or tv episode. I personally get my t/rrents from rarbg dot to or if I am having trouble finding one, I go to 1337x dot to, because they compile them from different sites. I copy the magnet link and go to the qbittorrent application, import magnet link, choose the files I want and it downloads. Remember, the higher the seeder leecher ratio, the quicker it will download. 

But which file should I choose?? there’s so many? Well yes there are many many files for different movies. On RAR, I found more than 40 t/rrent files for Endgame. I think that generally, the 4/5 GB 1080p copies are just fine. I have compared giffing with a 60GB Interstellar Remux (which is directly ripped from bluray) file to giffing from a 4GB 1080 file, it literally gave me the same quality and the 1080 looked crisper. So yeah don’t kill your computers space, just go for those 3/4/5GB files. 

hot tip - don’t download from yify, the quality is way worse.

2. movies from twitter accounts such as logolessHD.

these accounts post MEGA links to movies and shows, but you will have to request to follow them to be able to get the links. Then you can download the movie from there. The accounts you can get these links from are here: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4. The quality can be a bit less though compared to t/rrents. Here is a link to a tumblr blog with these kinds of downloads too. 

3. downloading from youtube.

ok, use 4kvideodownloader for this. It is incredibly easy to use, you just need the youtube link. Always Always go for 1080p, if you can’t then 720 at the most because otherwise quality gets really bad really fast. 

4. netflix / screenrecording

If you don’t want to download / can’t find something, try using netflix and screen recording. In my experience, SC only works on google chrome and not safari so jsyk!! Here is a tutorial on how to screen record on mac (or for quick access, click command+shift+5) and windows. 

NOTE: quicktime screen records at 60fps, which is nearly thrice the frame rate of movies and shows, so at the end you may end up with duplicate frames in the timeline of photoshop, so you will have to delete those frames one by one sorry. 

★★★★★

- extracting your scene from handbrake using VLC / built in video player

muahaha here’s where the magic starts to happen. Open handbrake and import your video. For this part I am going to use a scene of Keanu Reeves from the 2019 movie Always be my Maybe. I will demonstrate with that scene up until colouring, because then I will show how I colour different scenes!

So when you have opened the image in HB, you get this layout. (link to imgur)

it is a bit intimidating, I know. So basically, first, click on where it says chapters near the top right and click seconds. then, input the time you want to extract from the entire video. For the Keanu scene, that scene starts at 00:57:18 and ends at 00:57:21. These are not exact timings, I usually add an extra second so the entire scene is captured and I heavily recommend you do the same. 

Now down below, you can click browse and edit where your new video will be saved and you can also change the name of the new clip. Always ALWAYS remember to keep the .mp4 ending do not cut that part out!!! If the ending says .m4v change it to mp4!!

Ok then I undertake the following steps to ensure the video that will be exported is of the highest quality possible: 

Firstly, I uncheck all these three boxes: 

Then you see this bar here right? Well I will edit the dimensions, filters and video now. You don’t have to do anything for audio, subtitles or chapters so leaving that alone is best. Lets go to dimensions first.

Here are my settings for dimensions:

The storage size depends on if your file is 1080p or 720p. Most movies are shot in a ratio of 2.35:1, so if it does not say 1920x1080 like a 1080 file should be, don’t fret. The cut off parts are just the black bars you see when watching the movie. Handbrake doesn’t recognise nor convert them so that’s one less thing we have to worry about. 

Now onto filters. Literally do NOT change anything there. Leave the settings as they are, which is like this:

Finally, go to video. You will see this kind of window and these are my settings (imgur)

Firstly, leave video encoder at H264 or 265 depending on how your video is encoded. For the FPS, choose same as source for the framerate and click constant instead of variable!!! This will ensure your video is smooth. For quality, bring the slider all the way to the right. RF0 means it will be at the best quality possible. I didn’t edit the settings at the bottom at all so just leave them be.

Now click this green icon (imgur) at the top and your video will start encoding! It does not take long at all and then your video is ready to made into a nice lil gif!

★★★★★

- opening in photoshop

woohooo we got our video!! Ok now open photoshop. Click on file -> open:

now search for the file you extracted from VLC and import it! Now your screen will look like this (imgur). With a different video, of course lol. 

★★★★★

- trimming, cropping and resizing videos

ok so firstly, we will trim the video. As you can see in the image I linked in the step before, the screencap you see is of someone else in ABMM, not Keanu, like I want. So use this slider:

and click and drag it to where your scene begins and shows up in the window. Then, click the following button to split at playhead. 

This will split the clip and so the timeline and layers section will look like this (imgur) (mine has three sections because there was space before and after the keanu scene so I cut two parts which made three clips)

so now all there is left in trimming is delete the layers of the video you do not need! For me in that image it was layer 1 and 3!

cropping and resizing

This depends on the kind of gifset you want to make. This picture is a handy guide for resizing:

This post is also very very useful for resizing info

Ok now I will crop my gif. Click on this tool:

and now my interface looks like this. I am using the ratio 6 by 4 but you can use whatever you want. 

Ok now you may need to crop some black bars but since I don’t have to, I just moved the crop area around a bit and clicked enter to crop it. Just play around with sizes and whatnot, and get a feel of what you like!!

cropping tip: crop as close as you can to the edges. The more you zoom in, the more pixels that will be visible and it will make your gif extremely grainy!!

So now for resizing, go to image -> image size or click command-shift-i

and you will get this window. 

A LITTLE NOTE - I personally do not use automatic but a friend who shared her sharpening psd would prefer if I kept it secret, but automatic is what most people use and it is what I used up until november 2019 and it worked just fine.

Ok anyway now I want to make my gif 268px wide so I will input that as width and make sure you click this!! It makes sure your height and width are proportional!

ok now we have this. After you’ve done that, click ok!

congrats, you just resized a gif!! Your gif probably looks smaller now in the main window once you click ok, just zoom in to it! don’t worry about it looking bad quality, sharpening is next!

This is how my gif looks with trimming, cropping and resizing (with 0.05 speed)

★★★★★

- sharpening

Now we sharpen! Make sure your layer is selected Go to filter -> sharpen -> smart sharpen and this window will pop up:

These are my settings which most people use. Just remove gaussian blur

I have more accurate and use legacy checked too!

click ok! Now ... your gif might look a bit oversharpened. That’s why we use a bit of gaussian blur. Go to filter -> blur -> gaussian blur.

now I think most people also use a 1.0 radius so set that and click ok.

But now your gif looks too blurry. Lets fix that. Double click the icon below in the layers panel

and adjust the opacity! My go to is between 25 to 35, just so the gif looks smooth!

Now we’re done with sharpening! This is how our gif looks with sharpening with 0.05 speed:

sweet right? Now .... the best and hardest part ... colouring!!!!

★★★★★

- colouring and psds

First I will shortly talk about psds. They are photoshop files, that save the entire document which means you can share it with someone after uploading it and when they download and open it, they can edit the layers, tweak things just like they made the file in the first place. Many people upload psds of gifs with colouring so others can use that colouring. You can find so many psds on completeresources (I only linked gif psds but they have psds for icons and headers too) or allresources. I do not use psds but colour from scratch every time so I will not be explaining them further, sorry. 

So for colouring, I will go very in depth into different styles. Here are the main types of colouring I have noticed people use on here:

simple - I normally use this for scenes with people in it

vibrant, bright - I use this for scenes with lots of colours in them

pale

black and white

gradients - I use this to spice scenes up a bit

colour palette 

I only go for simple, vibrant and gradients and never do cp, pale or black and white, but I will link a few tutorials by talented creators who do and after that I will explain the three ways I colour by showing you three different examples :)

Some useful tutorials I have found for pale/bw/cp colouring are:

this pale tutorial by @samecoin​. Especially useful read because Tippy explains how to avoid whitewashing in pale edits.

this pale tutorial by @kateausten​. Very easy to read and to follow.

this colour palette tutorial by @freddyfreemen​. They explain the basics and provide a psd too.

this colour palette tutorial by @stenbranlons​. Very image heavy which guides you through every step of the way.

A blog dedicated to pale resources is @finesources​ and is definitely worth checking out!

this tutorials page by completeresources has many many tutorials on how to do different kinds of styles

Btw, this is a useful website that explains all the different adjustment layers in photoshop if you’re still getting the hang of them

ok now onto my examples for the colouring. I will first do simple colouring for which I will use the keanu gif. For vibrant and gradient I will use two different gifs. I usually put my colouring into a group so first, close the video group layer and click this to make a new group which will contain the adjustment layers for our colouring:

SIMPLE COLOURING

First I will brighten the gif up with some curves. That is this tool:

Then you get this window:

As you see, I have selected that white eyedropper tool. Using that I will brighten the image. Basically, you want to click on the whitest part of the gif using that tool. This is because wherever you click, the eyedropper will turn that part into white and adjust the entire gif that way so if you click somewhere dark, you’ll get this white bright fuzzy mess. So I clicked on the lightest place which imo is the white specks near the glass in front of his hand and now my gif looks like this:

Ok now if you look at the above image, there is a black eyedropper two steps above the white one. You want to use that to click on the darkest place of the gif bc it’ll turn that to pure black. Here is my gif when I did that:

not a massive difference but it balances things out. Now I will add some saturation. Click this icon:

which brings up this window. I have already set saturation to around 15 to make it a bit warmer:

and the gif looks like this now:

I think it looks nice, but I would like to add something extra. That is why I am going to play around with selective colour to make the background pop a bit and make the black colour more dark. So click this icon:

and you get this window and these colours (imgur). You can play around a lot with selective colour and manipulate colours! So if I turned the black dial on reds to +100, they would become wayyyy darker. However because I want the background to pop, I would use the colours magenta and blue (and black for the final touch). For those my settings are this: 1 - 2 - 3 (imgur). So now my gif looks like this:

And now i think we are done! For comparison, this is what the gif looked like with absolutely no colouring or sharpening:

And that was all for simple colouring!! Lets move on to vibrant colours!!

VIBRANT COLOURING

For this I will use an example from Thor: Ragnarok bc thor is my soft bb. I did not do much for this first example except play around a lot with selective colour and I used the exact way of adding saturation and curves as shown before. Honestly just playing around with selective is the best bet to get vibrant colouring. The gif without sharpening etc was this:

the gif after colouring and sharpening is this:

pretty sweet huh? Just play a lot with saturation, hue and selective colour and channel mixer and you can create a lot of styles that way!

GRADIENT

for this I will use another clip from Thor, but from The Dark World. It is a bare clip where it is raining and I will add a gradient on it. This is the gif without colouring nor sharpening:

now we will do the sharpening and colouring. I already applied a basic curves and saturation layer so now it looks like this:

It looks a bit better right? Ok lets get that gradient applied. Click here:

and click on gradient, NOT gradient maps bc those are different things and I honestly dont know how maps work. 

now this is what will appear, I haven’t changed anything to this yet:

What style, colours, angle you choose is up to you. I personally am going for 0 angle because I want it going right. Now, to choose colours, double click on the colour shown next to the word gradient. This window will show up:

The fun part is you can do what you want here. Just experiment, click the buttons, adjust opacity etc. When you click at the bottom of the bar somewhere another stop marker appears meaning you can have even more colours! Just click on the bottom markers and edit to your hearts content! Use the top button to adjust opacities. Personally I went for this gradient:

Ok but now we have a problem because our gradient is fully covering the image and you can’t see anything. That is where blending modes come in. Right click on the gradient layer and click blending options. This window will pop up (ingur). When you click blending mode, these options appear (imgur). 

Here is a good guide explaining the blending modes

I just recommend playing around seeing which one suits you. I went for overlay, which makes my final gif look like this:

and that was that on colouring!! Let me know if u have questions about it! Onto the next part, masks!

★★★★★

- masks

I will not go in depth here, but instead I will link some tutorials but the amazing @thepunisher​ who has explained it much better than I ever will be able to. The tutorials are all in this link. If you have any questions do lmk but idk how I could explain it. 

★★★★★

- adding subtitles

although we wish we could, we can’t all lip read so we need subtitles also I’m hard of hearing and need them anyway but yeah, I will quickly highlight how I add subs! I use the font Arial Rounded MT Bold Regular.

I will first link to this post because it helped me a lot and may explain stuff better than I do. 

Lets take the keanu gif we had earlier. In it, he says ‘fish flakes’. Now what I do is this. Click on this icon:

and drag a box around the gif fully. Add your text. Mine looks like this now:

Well that ... does not look like a subtitle. BTW my settings are:

*when there are two people speaking I change the colour of the second person to #ffff00 - also for 540px gifs I usually use 12/13px text.

Ok now I will add the stroke and drop shadow. Right click on the layer of text, click blending options and change your stroke and drop shadow settings to this and this (imgur). Now just click the move tool or hit V on keyboard to select it and drag the gif down wherever you want. Now my final gif looks like this:

Ok, now if you have two gifs and you want them to be the same distance from the bottom, right click the text layer of the first gif document, click duplicate layer and you will get this window:

now click on destination and depending on what files you have open in PS, you will get this window:

now just choose where you want the text to go and if the gifs are the same sizes itll appear exactly where it did in the first one and you can edit the text for the second. You can do this with adjustment layers, groups etc too!!

Now text is done! Off to the next part!

★★★★★

- editing frames / timeline speed

We are done editing, now time to convert to frame animation and edit the speed! 

Ok click on the four bars on the right side of the video timeline. It will bring up a menu. From there, select this:

This will make individual layers of every frame into clips. Now, click this at the bottom left side of the video timeline:

This will convert your video timeline to a frame animation timeline. Now it looks like this (imgur). you’re probably wondering wait where the heck did my layers go well don’t fret, lets click the four bars on the right side again and click this:

now look! We have got all our frames into the timeline! Just delete the excessive frames at the front. Now click the four bars again, select all frames and then click the number at the bottom and change it to 0.05 or 0.06 or whatever speed you want:

Now we are done with this step!

★★★★★

- multiple gifs in one grid

I myself am not going to explain this, instead here are links to a few amazing tutorials that will help you further

this tut by @brolinjosh​

this tut by @futurist​

★★★★★

- actions

Now actions ... man they make everything so much easier. Basically actions are a sequence of steps you undertake in photoshop that are recorded which you can then save and use on multiple files. This makes the giffing process much much faster!!! For instance, these are the actions I have saved (mind the doubles lol I am experimenting a bit!)

As you can see, I have one for undertaking the entire video timeline to frame animation process and one for sharpening and the subtitles. It has saved me around 75% of the original time I put into creating sets before which is a lifesaver. 

I cannot explain how to make actions bc I am really bad at explaining stuff, but here are some tutorials:

https://www.creativebloq.com/adobe/create-own-photoshop-actions-61411918

★★★★★

- exporting the gif

now we’re at the final stage! When you have your gif ready, go to file -> export -> save for web legacy

ok now the next window is this which looks intimidating I know

Well basically, those are my settings above. Make sure the looping option is set at forever. Also on the left size you see how big your gif is, make sure it is under 8mb but tumblr is unstable so keep it under 5MB and it should be fine. 

I use different exporting types at times. Sometimes I use selective and pattern, sometimes diffusion or adaptive+dif. Just remember that the gif size depends on which you choose so keep that in mind. Here’s the difference (if u can even spot it). 

selective + pattern

selective + diffusion 

adaptive + diffusion

Personally I mostly only use selective + pattern!

btw make sure your matte is at NONE!!! This is because otherwise you have those whitish transparent borders on your gif, esp noticable on dark gifs, like shown in this tutorial by the talented @joewright​ !

And congrats, you have officially made a gif! Now go experiment, have the time of your life and do whatever the heck u want with your gifs. And if you want me to see them, tag me!! I track #usernums !!!

★★★★★

- last minute tips and extra links

man idk what to say here really but here goes:

@completeresources​ and @allresources​ are amazing places to learn more about gifmaking, pls take advantage of the opportunity

reminder: quicktime records at 60FPS, so unless you want a laggy gif delete the extra duplicate frames in the frame animation timeline!!

When opening import video frames to layers, do not click skip every second frame!! do not!!!!

Do not steal gifs. Try making them. I know it takes time and it can get frustrating but don’t post someone elses gifs as your own. Even the ugliest gifset in existence made originally by someone is better than a stunning set put together full of stolen gifs from various users. Don’t be that person

Don’t be afraid to ask for help pls just go on anon if u want!!

use the tumblr dimensions!!! I cannot stress enough how important this is because if you don’t, your gifs will look stretched af and lose quality so like .. don’t do that

Ephemera Week (2002)

Mission Hill (originally aired on WB, 1999-2000)

Mission Hill was a perfectly good animated series from former Simpsons show-runners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. It was a sitcom about cool young people in a cool young people city. Andy French is an aspiring cartoonist, intended to be a Matt Groening type who would (over the course of many many seasons) eventually find success and get his own super-successful animated series called THE SIMPSONS: SEASONS 1-8.

The premise of the show was that Andy’s parents retire and sell the childhood home, displacing his nerdy high-school aged younger brother Kevin. Kevin moves in with Andy and learns how to be a cool city style guy, you know, the kind that’s always “walkin here!” and sucking off Bob Balaban in the men’s room and whatnot.

The show is at least better than the bad seasons of the Simpsons, and has a cool alt-comics style that suits the show really well. Not to damn it with faint praise, it’s a good show. There are a handful of GREAT episodes and plenty of strong jokes. There's news of a revival in the works focusing on Gus and Wally, the older gay couple in the show. It's supposed to take place in the same era the show originally aired in, which is just great.

Like Baby Blues and Home Movies before it, I did catch this show randomly on it's network of origin. I saw one or two of the final episodes to air on WB. I liked it! I was glad to see it get revived for a run on Adult Swim. I've wanted more episodes ever since.

I don't think the show is available for streaming anywhere, which is too bad. It came out on DVD with special features. That DVD set was reissued on DVD-R without special features, so... buyer? be wary. There's also a number of music replacements that ruin some of the scenes. At one point I had a bootleg set where somebody took the DVD video and replaced the audio with the as-broadcast version of of the show. Good luck finding it.

Here's an episode guide showing their debuts on Adult Swim. Bold episodes were originally unaired, making their debut on the channel. Also note: episodes had an innocuous title and a spicier in-house title in parentheses. It’s real Police Squad! shit.

12AM Monday Morning:

May 20: Pilot (or The Douchebag Aspect) May 27: Andy Joins the PTA (or Great Sexpectations) June 3: Kevin's Problem (or Porno for Pyro) June 10: Andy vs. The Real World (or The Big-Ass Viacom Lawsuit) June 17: Andy and Kevin Make a Friend (or One Bang for Two Brothers) June 24: Andy Gets a Promotion (or How to Get Head in Business Without Really Trying) July 1: Kevin vs. the SAT (or Nocturnal Admissions) July 8: Unemployment Part 1 (or Brother's Big Boner) July 15: Unemployment Part 2 (or Theory of the Leisure Ass) July 22: Kevin Finds Love (or Hot for Weirdie) July 29: Stories of Hope and Forgiveness (or Day of the Jackass)

11PM Sunday Night:

August 4: Happy Birthday, Kevin (or Happy Birthday, Douchebag) August 11: Plan 9 from Mission Hill (or I Married a Gay Man from Outer Space)

ALSO NOTE: There are about five episodes that were in early-stages of production and if you poke around you can find scripts for these episodes ( here as of this writing). A full animatic and table read for “Crap Gets In Your Eyes” exists if you search for it. 

MAIL BAG

London Arbuckle ASKS! or, states! sorry I’m writing this lead-in without having read the whole message yet.

Another confusing Baffler Meal thing: the deleted cold open that's on the DVD. It gets called back to in the actual episode ("Between two steamed buns", "Nine dollars!? For what?") and provides crucial context, BUT it also gets contradicted in the actual episode (SG sells out for "one serious speaker" instead of owing a restaurant money). Also I remember all the ads for this episode used a clip from the cold open! It always kinda bothered me that they cut it but boys (matt & dave) will be boys!

I do think the cold open is nice and I always make a point to watch it with the episode. In my mind they are as essential as watching that boring Terry Gilliam short before Meaning of Life. The next step is pointlessly editing them together using Nero. Yeah, that’s the ticket

Here’s ANONYMOUS, baby!

It's summertime and we are talking about Adult Swim and I gotta ask when's the last time you've been to a pool. Have you ever in your adult life enjoyed the benefits of an adult swim. Tell us just how much you like splash around. Yes, that would be quite illuminating I'm sure (rolleyes).

Man, when was the last time I went into a pool? It’s been literally years. I think the last time I swam I did a bad job. I am definitely am getting “bad job” vibes off my hazy memories. Man, my memories used to be precious. Damn!

do you think theyll ever work with george lowe again in any major capacity or do you think he's just bad news.

I was about to say “isn’t he on American Dad” based on him name-checking American Dad as one of his many credits but I just looked it up and he was only in one episode. Damn. Somebody give George work he seems nice.

beakman's world, anyone? The wild and wacky world of Paul Zaloom? Hmm? Anyone?

lol you wish...

Baby Blues really was my everything back in the early 2000s, it may not have head the punk rock cred you clearly seem to crave it was a soothing balm for myself as a new father in a scary world (9/11 and all that, terrible stuff).

you raise a good point, that you’re a huge dork “with child” and I’m cool and laughed at 9/11 because it was funny to me, actually

Just read your Baby Blues "take down" and I gotta say: In the immortal words of Mike Francesca, "You're a fool. ho-kay? A total fool."

Uh huh. Yeah okay. Mike Francesca hordes pot bellied pigs in his apartment and lives in filth. He stinks, and so do youd

Baby Blue is like every animation nerd's wet dream. What if they made the rugrats with only the parents part. And here it is. Be careful what you wish for, chunky.

Yeah and it’s too bad because judging from the previous mail bags my audience is primarily made up of BABIES.

I am 100 % on board with your post about how Jo is an entitled and that has to do with her white privilege. But then you have to throw the gender factor into this and I don't understand the reason; Jo is acting like an entitled piece of shit towards her arab friend/LI because she's white (plus a shitty personality in itself), yes, but her being a woman has nothing to do with it. I think it's just internalized mysoginy-ish to throw that into the argument when it's not relevant, since white men are even LESS held accountable for their actions in fandom, just look at Jens' racist ass who's still stanned for being a "bi icon" by the fandom. Both white men and white women aren't held accountable for their racist actions, both in media and IRL, and are defended in different ways, but I assure you Jo would not be defended any less if she happened to be a man. If anything, straight fetishists would idolize her even more because that's how they do it with white mlm, just look at how Sander and Robbe are treated.

you know i think it's really intresting that you're coming to my blog purposefully misinterpreting what i said, drawing parallels to other shows/characters that have nothing to do with what i was talking about and then to really put the cherry on top calling my point misogynistic for.. recognizing skamfr's way of prioritizing their white female characters, who are white feminists, over their characters of color. because while some of us are busy anonymously accusing people of making misogynistic points, others have a good long look on how white feminism is a present issue on skamfr as it is deeply manifested in the way they write their white female characters, while simultaneously not caring remotely enough about their characters of color as they either couldn't care less about their seasons or villainize them.

you really think that white feminism is not an issue on skamfr and that im throwing the gender factor into this just because?? okay here's a list of things skamfr did that are the textbook definition of white feminism

having imane apologize to her group of exclusively white friends after a season where they were treating her like shit, taking ingrid's side over hers and pitying ingrid after imane called her out for her racism. leading to the conclusion of the season that her white female supposedly feminist friends are gracious enough to forgive imane, imane having to be the bigger person and inviting ingrid over to her house.. ingrid ending up with her brother??????

the entire existence of tiff's season basically but let's put some special focus on the fact that she got away with everything that she did without ever facing any consequences because she is protected by her white womanhood (something that is never actively acknowledged by the narrative)

tiff being a literal bully who told a mentally ill teenager to k word herself being the main of one of their seasons and being immediately forgiven for her past "mistakes" all while they slapped horror movie music over scenes where judith appeared, making her look threatening to poor helpless tiff and villanizing her one last time by making her deleting one audio message her fatal, unforgivable mistake. the narrative granting her zero sympathy

skamfr dedicating an entire clip to tiff saying "pink is a feminist color" and everyone just rolling with it as if that's not.. peak white feminism

the narrative letting jo yell at bilal, randomly get mad at him, calling him lazy expecting him to have enough free time to take care of all of her problems on top of her own, getting mad at him for saying that he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now etc.

those are just.. a few examples that immediately come to mind but im know that there are.. SO many more. and if writers write a show with that kind of white feminist mindset, heavily focusing on their white female characters to a point where they are taking the season of characters of color over (manon & jo being stellar examples for that) then you cannot look at this show without recognizing this issue.

it's also intresting that you are talking about how white characters are treated in fandom, when the one sentence of my post you're so concerned about being misogynistic was about how white women are treated in the media. my point was never about whether jo as a character is a white feminist- then tiff would absolutely still fall into this category- but about how jo as a character is just a product of the writing of a few people who decided to cement white feminism at the top of their show. the same people who decided that a black woman deserves to be villainized for deleting a message while they were bending over backwards to redeem their white upper class bully. the same writers who decided that dedicating five episodes to an arab teenager struggling with classism and homelessness must really be enough "activism" and that it's time to focus on the difficult life of one of their white girls again instead!

at no point did i ever say that i do not want writers to hold their white male characters accountable for the shit they do but this post simply wasn't about robbe or sander, it was about jo, a white woman who benefits from being written through a white feminist perspective. white feminism is a part of the issue with racism and white supremacy it obviously isn't all of it. but sure, if i ignored all of that i might come to the conclusion that the statement "one of these days the media will held white women like jo accountable for the shitty and toxic ways they treat others, especially people of color instead of brushing their behavior off as quirky and prioritizing their tears over the stories of people of color" must be reflecting my internalized misogyny!
