john wick really does make me get the whole action movie thing. there's something very comforting about watching your favorite guy get in the equivalent of a car crash four times in a row and still get up afterward. especially when that special guy has sad eyes and wears a little suit

#turns out i'm a red blooded american male who likes action movies they just had to get me an action guy who loved his wife #anyway john wick 2 very enjoyable so far. fantastic visuals #do they have a fun little club scene in every john wick movie? cause if so i'm absolutely delighted by that #thinking very hard about narrative structure with these movies but i will come back to that later. #very fun to play around with a character who is already very well established in the world they operate in. very cool #valentine notes #john wick

the height/weights on the character profiles for death note are absolutely batshit insane, what do you mean misa is less than 80 pounds? what do you mean L is aprox 110??? are you telling me that I am able to not only pick up both Kiras and the "world's best detective," but I can also throw them?? suddenly ryuzaki and Light's little fist/kick fight is laughable, I could kill u both and I wouldn't need a notebook to do it.

#im genuinely laughing over this #maybe im feeding into the big american stereotype or whatever #but like #how are all of the skinntiest bitches all piled into one room playing mind games w each other #and i thought ryuk and rem were snatched #antisocialsocialite #thinking out loud #death note #misa misa #misa amane #l lawiet #ryuzaki #light yagami #kira

more acknowledgement for immigrant families in the US that are really small because everyone else lives in your home country so you have no real feelings, positive or negative, about thanksgiving as a holiday (politically abhorrent but as HOLIDAY). it's so boring. why do I have to pretend to care about this and why am I considered distasteful for saying so.

#NYE is a great holiday because Canada plays the final round robin game at the World Junior Hockey Championship. #thanksgiving?? insanely mid holiday. who gives a fuck. if you want to eat turkey with a bunch of people you can literally do it whenever. #nothing is stopping you. almost none of these foods are seasonal. if you can organize a reunion or a child's birthday you can do this. #the things that tip American thanksgiving into the negative are the behaviour of people on black friday and football #Egg talks #pleased to note that going from sobriety to having <1 drink a month has not stopped from being an extremely unfun person :-)

Roger Delgado practices diplomacy as the unnamed ambassador of an equally unspecified Central American Republic, in Man in a Suitcase: Burden of Proof (1.15, ITC, 1968)

#fave spotting #roger delgado #man in a suitcase #classic doctor who #the master #delgado!master #burden of proof #itc #1968 #classic tv #a relatively small role for Roger; his character exists really only to show an official from the fictional South American country the #episode deals with who is not corrupt (unlike Wolfe Morris and his associates) or a foreign national (John Gregson's English ex pat who's #loyalties are inscrutable). he expresses some outrage at Larry Taylor being violent‚ he offers Nicola Pagett some fatherly advice #and then he exits the episode never to be seen again. it's a small role but a nice change of pace for Rog‚ as he gets to play kindly #diplomat as opposed to villain (or villainous diplomat). the episode itself is.. complex... in its attitudes. perhaps the episode of MiaS #which has aged the least well. it's hard to say‚ but the colonial attitudes are pretty obvious and there's some deeper problematic stuff #going on. most disturbingly‚ said fictional S American country apparently has some kind of ethnic caste system in place #(something obliquely referenced in dialogue is Wolfe belonging to a lower social group bc of his ethnic heritage) but it's the two most #villainous characters who belong to this (? again potentially fictional?) racial group‚ and who are subject to (?? fictional??) racial #slurs‚ something which is never really commented on or resolved by the supposed 'good' characters (it's worth noting none of this involves #McGill‚ who isn't in any of those scenes). it's a troubling bit of.. meta racism??? and definitely the inference is related to skin tone #(both Morris and Larry Taylor being notably darker than Pagett‚ who it is suggested belongs to the higher social class) #it's an uncomfortable aspect of a script which takes a genuinely good plot and then wrings it through some weird‚ pretty offensive places #ok i did a bit more digging and the country may be fictional but the slur is apparently real and has been historically used against latin #and filipino ppl so yikes i guess this episode is just generally fucked up. huh. that's a damn shame. stupid 60s tv always ruining stuff #with utterly pointless bigotry. sigh. consider this a tw i guess #apologies for prev tags‚ South American should read Central American; not certain whether the country is actually named in dialogue briefly #but Pixley provides no details alas

it's really funny when people assume jean seberg was french and try to pronounce her name with a french accent... she was born in marshalltown iowa it's pronounced exactly how you think it is

#soapbox #also worth noting that in à bout de souffle her best known french film she plays an american and has an american accent

[nonbinary-sticks-the-badger]

sega should cast a really high pitched girly voice to play surge. this is a good casting decision.

#sonic #surge the tenrec #on a serious note id play surge if they asked #i can do an angry gravelly voice #maybe put on an american accent #boom #surgery!

[wabblebees]

thought id update to say; i survived opening night!!! and not only that, it went REALLY fucking well, and people seemed to REALLY REALLY like it omfg... god this is so crazy

#i was literally holding the script in a bigass binder for almost the entire show (sparing only the parts where i had to BULLFIGHT) #(bc i needed two hands -- one for the cape & one for the banderilla.)(yall i had to learn how to BULLFIGHT TANGO & SWORDFIGHT. in TWO DAYS) #but the audience said afterwards it was like i wasnt even on-book; they hardly noticed it was there??!! #yall this is my real life rn. im failing my classes but yknow what?? #i can pull it together enough to emergency understudy in a highly physical show 2 days before opening even with a script ive never SEEN #and apparently we made people fucking CRY. HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT #this playwright is just. incredible. the script is INSANE. BEAUTIFUL & CLEVER & HILARIOUS & TERRIFYING & VILE & TENDER & TECHNICALLY PERFECT #and apparently our production is like. only the eighth time this show has EVER been produced. for real #but god EVERYONE should know about this playwright's work. fuck i actually think tumblr would really love her. holy shit. #maría irene fornés is her name -- she was a queer cuban-american playwright+director who made radical heartwrenching magical theatre #im so grateful to be doing this & SO fucking sad for the original performer im covering for... god. bc this is just such lifechanging work #this play is queer in EVERY sense. its off-putting loving repulsive peculiar passionate holy and GAY AS HELL. its real its farce its SO CAMP #((IRENE & SUSAN SONTAG DATED. SONTAG AS IN 'NOTES ON ''CAMP''' SONTAG. ITS FUCKING GORGEOUS.)) #its gorgeous its gorey its glamourous its also literally the first part ive played that i think might truly fit my casting type exactly lmao #which is INSANE. bc the character is literally just described in the script as ''ISIDORE: an androgynous clown'' LMFAO #but honestly what could be more homoerotic than 2 ''men'' locked in a room together dancing tango+talking abt beetles+stabbing each other #hmm. maybe its the fact that after i stab the other guy i call him ''saint sebastian'' and then we LITERAL ACTUAL GAY KISS #which is crazy bc we only practiced that ONE TIME before opening #and youd think this shit cant get Any Gayer BUT. IT DOES. bc my scene partner+the director are gay+together irl... and uhh. #ive literally been their third. like. more than once. #ISNT THAT FUCKING INSANE. THIS IS MY REAL LIFE?? THIS IS MY REAL LIFE #ANYWAY #so now im headed back out to rehearse more before we perform it again tonight lmao #i hope it goes as well as it did last night #that audience was fucking incredible i really hope the next two like it as much as they did🤞🤞 knocking on wood #so. if u read this far. u should go find+read ''tango palace'' by maría irene fornés. mwah okay bye #bee speaks

#Death Note #musical #UK musical #London 2023 #casting #holy shit they did such a good job #this is a little beside the point i know #but how is it the London musical did a better of job of casting diverse actors for diverse roles than an American film adaptation #there is no excuse for not casting talented Asian actors to play Asian characters #you're just whitewashing

Also, I made a realization today. Today was the first time EVER where I have officially been too stoned to watch a horror film

#I love the horror genre and many of my comfort movies are actually horror #namely midsommar bc I grew up in a cult #and it's cathartic in a weird way #anyhow today I had on American horror stories on bc I didn't realize that was a thing until today #and I realized I wanted to watch AHS but I didn't want to commit to a full season when the new one is coming out soon #now I need y'all reading this to understand #I was having that exact thought before I even opened Hulu to hit play #so it felt like Hulu was reading my mind when I saw that in my recommended #started watching from the beginning #and oh my fucking god that two part premiere fucking GOT ME #the nostalgia of revisiting Murder House? Grown up Sierra McCormic (who I hadn't seen on tv since I was a child and ant farm was on) #which of course was it's own wave of nostalgia #all the queerness in it #just literally EVERYTHING ABOUT IT #just like holy fuck I loved it so much #anyways I kept it on for the next two episodes as wel #and after the very end of the third episode I was just like hooooooly shit #and I 100% was like Lex you should stop there you're too high for this #I shouldn't have started the next episode but I did anyways cuz I'm high and lazy (actually lazy this time bc I'm having fun) #(other side note being lazy is literally my treat to myself and I cannot wait to tell my therapist I gave myself a whole day of down time) #(he's gonna be really fucking thrilled tbh)(you like all my parenthetical statements don't y'all) #(it's all the fun of the adhd side train of thought and I bet it's relatable af) #anyways I hope everyone who reads my tags today appreciates them

Damn I’d do anything to be Sophie in the BFG. Sitting in a giants hand and convincing the British army to attack child-eaters by haunting the queen and drinking fizzy drinks where the bubbles fall down instead of up is a dream

#This was based purely on memory #I remember reading this book in one day on this cozy chair full of sunlight #Ronald dahl #Ronald Dahl was kinda fucked but DAMN he wrote some good shit #Side note timothee chalamet does NOT have the right voice to play Willy wonka #The bfg #books #stories #giants #the queen #damn I miss the queen and I’m American

#heathens will destroy my pathetic lungs btw but #i am willing to suffer if for the clique #/hj #also fun fact !!! i learned how to play heathens literally liek . a day after learning my first couple scales #and i learned it without any reference or anything lmao #i just played a note and was like huh this sounds like the first note of hit 2016 single heathens by american musical duo ywenty one pilots #twenty one pilots #tøp #tyler joseph #josh dun #-ghost (he/him)

[elven-butts]

This whole drawing them to help me pick who I wanna play with is having the opposite effect :^) They should coexist! Please vote for your fave lol

Hails caps strength at 4 because she’s a tiny baby. Loves shotguns because she can’t aim for shit ♥ sneaky stab stab should avoid combat at all costs, rarely does. Very smart but not right in the head. Pretty little shit and walking heart attack to everyone that cares about her. Stray cat energy. I made her around the time suicide squad came out so she has some Harley in her x)

Meanwhile Oli caps luck at 2 (with bobblehead) because I am a masochist you don’t need luck when you have skill :) Very practical, trained to survive under any conditions. No fear, she’s stronger than you and she will beat you up (supermutants included). Fucked up inside and it’s beginning to show. Maybe there is a soft core underneath all the trauma?

Jason the viking I never made in skyrim. Done with this shit™, cares too much about people. Would rather be petting his new dog and read comics. Will go help that settlement but will be cranky about it. Smart and capable but please someone take the responsibility off him he has anxiety. Cool, serious and mysterious (is actually overthinking everything too much and can’t respond) Is probably the taller human in the wasteland.

I usually start fo4 with low endurance and agility because they’ve been on fucking ice for 2 centuries idk I think they should be a little stiff

#fallout #fallout 4 #sole survivor #art #digital art #playing survival without the luck tree is an experience #not a good one #no but really i want all 3 of them to form a party and explore the wasteland for the first time #oli seing this as a challenge jason fucking loosing his mind inside but someone has to look after hails who is very much loosing her mind #the moment she sees a radroach its over #oli originally voting to leave her behind only to end up a mother hen #jason sharing his love for comics with hails and he and oli have war and ptsd stories to share #they would all die for dogmeat #they aren't americans and they bond over that and wondering what the situation might be in their countries #au with 3 sosus i should write but i have no braincells #if i get 5 notes and 1 reply ill be sad #ive been trying to choose for two months #im not even joking #*also i haven't finished modding the game actually so its fine* #sosu: N.J.M. Stigen #sosu: Olivia #sosu: Hailey

Thank you for doing dubbed, because I find Ichi’s English voice so cute 🥰

kaiji tang is The Goat i love his performance SO much and it's so perfect

#snap chats #and i love how tang cosplayed as ichi for an interview 😭😭 #ichi's english voice is so good- a lot of the english dub cast is it makes me so happy #like there's no better VA for ichi than tang his energy and performance and emotion is just spot on #i love his voice so much i cannot stress this #BUT ON THAT NOTE i also did the eng dub because i also really like aoki's english voice #i remember the first cutscene he was in i paused cause the fuckin whiplash like bro why do you sound so CRUSTY #but its what also makes his 'aoki voice' so neat because it's just slightly less rough #its most notable during his scene with ichi- idk how its just you can really tell he changes his voice from that scene #its kinda funny will yun lee also lowkey reminds me of aoki face wise #not perfectly obvi its mostly the lips and nose but anyway #i could gush about the english cast all day if given the chance honestly #i'll die on the hill of defending them like i dont think too many people complain bout the Y7 eng dub #but still i'll gush bout it #i did the japanese dub too 1.) so i could include ishin 2.) so i can show love to the japanese voices too #i never gave them a fair shot since i always play in english cause im a filthy american #but the japanese cast Of Course is just as lovely- i esp love adachi's voice #and it's always nice hearing hints of nishiki in ichi's performance :')

one of the classes im subbing today had nothing to do (it’s a group of 14 kids and it’s more like an intervention class) so the kids started playing blackjack and wanted to actually make bets, then one student pulled out a giant bag of smarties and they started using the individual candies as poker chips.

#the american smarties to be clear #class notes #they are now playing poker #it’s funny but I’m genuinely concerned for whoever eats those candies bc i do not trust these kids to wash their hands 😬
