I’m terrified. I’m always terrified. But I also feel, in the same sense, I’m drawn to that. I think that’s how we all grow. As artists, you move towards the danger. - Jeremy Strong about playing the role of Dr. Stockmann in "An Enemy of the People"

Jeremy’s parents coming to his play this is the cutest thing ever!

I think someone at the stage door should inform Jeremy that there are no pictures of him with a cat online and this should be remedied.

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?

Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.

#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche #he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure #his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint #I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing #do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity #but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do) #people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it #Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona #he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies #in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water #essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries #eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition #and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help #and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary #towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise #and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high #and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

what a lonely victory.

i’ve talked about the bad parent bruce wayne tag and how it’s immediately a fic turn off for me but can I just talk about the real enemy that often goes untagged which is tim drake & damian wayne fics tagged as hurt/comfort but the author obviously hates one of them and makes them out to be an absolute irredeemable monster towards the other. like please tag that shit because it always makes me die inside to read. I love them both and I just want them to reconcile and be brothers and I did not sign up for character slander.

#people who hate tim are my number one enemies #people who hate damian are my number two enemies #i do play sliiiiiight favorites what can I say #still love them both though #anyways tag your character slander please #tim drake #tim drake robin #red robin #damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian wayne robin #dc robin #tim and damian #batkids #batfam #batfamily #dick grayson #jason todd #bruce wayne #batman #the batman #batman comics #dc comcis #dcu #dc #ivy.txt

Saw a video talking about people (in my country) getting job seekers benefits and not getting jobs saying they were stealing from taxpayers and all I could think of was this:

#I want my tax money to go to people who are on the benefit actually erm unpopular opinion I guess #ppl on the benefit yes even the “lazy ones” aren't your enemy they're not the ones making profits while the price of everything gets higher #id rather a guy fart around all day playing games while on the benefit get my money #than a greedy rich man trying to squeeze as much profit out of me as possible get it

"It's normal for siblings to fight" Okay well it's not normal to be extremely classist and look down on your sister for being non-conforming. Or to go to the woman who ordered the death of your pet to tell her about your father's plans, when he specifically warned you against doing so, because you want to marry the boy you saw attack your sister and her friend (contributing partially to said father's death and your sister being unable to escape on the ship he chartered). Or to think of your sibling as unsatisfactory in comparison to another when you believe her to be dead. I notice that none of the "Sansa and Arya are going to reunite and instantly have no issues" crowd ever acknowledge any of this, which makes it seem like they don't actually believe what they say about their relationship being normal and easily reconciled. People wanting them to have no issues simply because they're siblings is another example of how fandom likes to flatten complex characters and relationships. They get reduced to being bickering siblings when their conflict runs deeper than that. If the author is telling you that they have "deep issues" to work out [X], I don't understand being so adamant about ignoring said issues. I also get the sense it's about ignoring the capacity for a certain character to be flawed, but that isn't going to change the fact that her "slip of the tongue" is very likely to be revealed and a source of further conflict 🤷🏾‍♀️

#arya stark #sansa stark #house stark #asoiaf #also if it's so normal for siblings to fight then why are you guys losing your minds over us theorizing they won't get along?? #the amount of condescending /that's just how siblings act/ takes I see 🙄 #sorry I guess? that we read the book and don't just delete parts of the story because we find it convenient? #it's not even like takes about them being enemies is widespread the most I see is that they aren't instantly bffs when they reunite 😭 #some people theorize they'll never be close but guess what? that's a completely fair and valid assumption based on their relationship! #personally I think they'll have a sweet reunion before the issues they have inevitably surface again because while they've been through #a lot they haven't fundamentally changed as people or the values they hold #and I think that's going to be very interesting to read about! #I can't figure out why people always take the most boring bland route for how things will play out #mostly because people seem to be unable to swallow the concept that Sansa is a flawed character who isn't perfectly sweet all the time #and the fact that their conflict is instigated by Sansa's classism #which is funny cause in the grand scheme of things her being mean to Arya is such a mild thing that opens the door to a ton of growth #never seen anybody but stansas equating her being a bully to her sister to her being evil/a villain #all we do is point out that it exists in the story...people in this fandom have no concept of nuance I stg 😭 #anyways they're both complex characters and their conflict is interesting and I hope we get to see how it plays out #cause it's definitely going to be better then that trash d&d came up with 🙏🏾

"The Bad Kids shouldn't have said X" "The Bad Kids were too bloodthirsty" why do people watch a ttrpg actual play if they're gonna get mad about a very obvious combat encounter that has been building up for an entire season? Who gives a fuck if TBK killed TRG, they're NPC's and the cast was obviously leaning into the bit because of the absolutely silly way K2 died in the previous episode, sometimes you say and do silly or fucked up shit while playing d&d with friends. This doesn't have to be a moral quandary some people want it to be.

#this obsession with making characters talk their problems out or redeeming bad NPC's is so boring tbh #like idk. maybe go watch bluey or some other kids show if you want people to talk things out #it's really not that deep. trg wanna bring about a rage deity and fuck up the world and they had to be stopped #'but they didn't have to send ruben to hell' please stop Emily was having fun ffs #not to mention it was funny and a very teen thing to do #'fabian shouldn't have said he was gonna skin ivy' have y'all never heard of intimidating an enemy #it just all sounds so dumb when you boil it down to 'people are upset at how a board game was played' #fantasy high junior year #fhjy spoilers #fhjy

im so vicariously happy for jeremy getting to do what he loves so deeply and to be shown so much love from everyone, knowing how hard he worked all his life with little to no appreciation at all. the way he seemed so moved seeing everyone cheer at the stage door after the play’s preview like he genuinely didn’t expect it. deeply moving to see someone living their dream so sincerely and wholeheartedly.

#seeing the photos/videos from ppl going to the play honestly moves me quite a bit #also he seems so sweet #i’m really happy for him #jeremy strong #an enemy of the people #j.exe
