#big ass production like this

[softquietsteadylove]

Hello there! Love the actor au very much! How about Gil is watching Thena while she is doing a scene? Pretty sure he is mesmerized by her look, her presence and acting skills too!

Gil was staring. Everyone was.

Thena was in the middle of a few glamour shots, meant just to capture her natural beauty in their current work. It was a fantasy thing--she was a beautiful creature of nature, with massive wings they would CGI onto her in post.

A flower crown sat on her perfect sunshine hair, there were a few real little bunnies hopping around. A few green blobs were also scattered around in order to animate them into more fantastical creatures. It was quite different from the roles he had done with her before.

He was playing a royal guard, in charge of protecting the queen, who would turn out to be evil by the end of it. He hadn't had many scenes with Thena yet, but even just being on the same set with her put him more at ease.

"Sometimes," Thena murmured in the scene to her little bunny friends, as well as the young actor playing the fish out of water who had stumbled into her little forest. "People want for things they know they can't have."

"But why, your majesty?" the kid asked in - to his ear - a pretty mediocre accent. They couldn't find an actual English accent?

Thena sighed, stroking one of the bunnies that seemed to have really taken a liking to her. Gil had to keep his laughter in; furry animals weren't really Thena's thing. She was staying in the scene really well, but he was certain they would have to get them all off her once they cut before she freaked out.

"We are not so different from humans," she murmured, extending her vowels in a received pronunciation that she had mastered early on in her career. "They are capable of insatiable greed. But do we not also want for things just out of reach?"

Gil sighed.

"But, your majesty," the kid scooched a little closer on the fake forest floor they had constructed. "You are the most powerful fae around."

The kid's tiny hand floated up, stroking what would be a shimmering white feathered wing in the final film. For now, it was just the empty air between them.

Gil smiled; Thena moved her shoulders faintly, as one would when a part of their body was adjusting itself. It would look great when the wings were 'on her'.

Thena pursed her lips (a personal habit that made its way into her characters every once in a while). "Power does not equal strength, and strength does not guarantee things going the way you might like. There are things I want that my power will never help me attain."

She looked off into the distance, longing written all over her face. Although her eyes landed on Gil, in the distance, behind the blinding lights on the scene. Her lips twitched into a smile. "The heart wants what it wants, child. It longs for things it once had, no matter how you tell it not to."

"And...cut!"

Thena smiled as the kid was pulled away for a mandatory union break. She remained sitting, still encircled by free roaming little bunnies.

Gil chuckled, walking right up to the soundstage and being careful of any wandering cotton balls. The wranglers were already rushing out to collect up the vulnerable little creatures. Gil knelt down beside her and reached out a hand, "your Majesty?"

"Very funny," Thena chided him lightly as she took his hand. "My legs are asleep after all those takes."

Gil waited in that position until all the rabbits were collected up and clear from danger. Once the wranglers were all clear he moved back to his feet, pulling Thena up with him. She laughed as he swung her around in his arms. "You got it?"

"Ah!" she bit her lip as she tried to firm up her knees, "pins and needles!"

"Okay," he laughed, as if he needed that excuse to sweep her up in his arms and walk off with her bridal style. "Let's go."

"Gil!" Thena laughed as he made his way down the stairs and towards their chairs. They initially weren't anywhere near each other, but they had both moved them together subtly over the course of several days.

"Well, we can't have the fae queen wobbling around like a fawn," he teased, and received a poke in the cheek for it. She could have smacked him on the arm but he was in his 'armour' for his scene.

"You are supposed to be allied to a different queen," Thena pointed out as he deposited her right into her chair, flowing white dress and all.

Gil sat himself next to her, as he always did. "Well, she does turn out to be plotting, like, magical mass murder by the end of this. So maybe I should reconsider some shit in my guard life."

Thena just shook her head at him, pushing back the mane of hair she had, and which was made even longer by the extensions they had woven into it. "I won't miss this, I can say that much."

Gil helped her sort the mass of hair out of her way as she picked up her script and her bottle of water. "What did make you take this?"

"Hm?"

"Well," he shrugged, the replica armour he was wearing clanking faintly against itself as he did. "It's not really your usual thing. Especially the benevolent fairy queen part."

Thena raised a brow at him with a smirk, "are you saying being the beautiful queen of the enchanted forest doesn't suit me?"

"Come on," he gave her a nudge. Their laughter died down and he lowered his voice, "really, though."

Thena tucked some of her hair, and what was attached to it, behind her ear. Her smile became bashful as she looked down at her open scrip on her lap. "Well...I wanted something in between action films. And...when you told me you were signed on-"

Gil's eyes lit up visibly.

"Stop it," she murmured, sticking her finger in between the plates of plastic armour on his shoulder just to give him a good poke. "Why did you take this, then?"

Gil shrugged. "I mean, my part is relatively small. I was told my shoot time would be half of what it usually is. And I get to be a literal knight in shining armour!"

"Well, you do come over to my side by the end of it," Thena murmured, flipping through her pages. It was only briefly mentioned, and it would be ultimately up to the director and how things looked onscreen the day of the shoot, but it was implied that the queen's guard would defect by the end of things.

"See?" Gil wiggled his pinkie at her. "You're still my queen at the end of the day."

"The poor, lonely fae queen will finally have a soul to match hers?" Thena rested her chin in her palm, batting her lashes at him.

"Well, I'm sure she'll be in need of some," Gil mirrored her playful body language, leaning forward until they could practically touch noses, "protection."

#Thenamesh Actors AU #behind the scenes is going to go feral with this footage #big ass production like this #Maleficent meets LOtR vibes? #and of course they got Thena and cast her as the sparkling white fairy queen #and she's like I kind of just wanted like a side part #and they're like no you're too pretty sorry #so she gets the opposite lead #but then promo has all these shots of her and the queen's guard??? being cute together???? #like he picks her up and carries her? #they're best friends? #they're like literally always flirting? #yeah the guard is going to defect at the end of the movie #because they're going to get one singular shot #Gil is going to see what the queen is doing and say NO! This isn't Right! #he'll take up his sword against her #and then there will be one little shot of him and Thena looking at each other #and they're going to be like shit maybe this guy has been falling in love with the fairy queen the whole time? #think one-off film that somehow has off the charts shipping potential #from this one shot

-Pari Anon

What if Zhongli ended up finding Creator! Pari! Reader?

They were hovering close to where Xiao was fighting when Zhongli ran into them. He, sensing they were some sort of threat, took them with him.

When they don’t return to Xiao after his fight, he gets worried and starts looking for them. They’re typically nearby, out of danger.

Did they get eaten? Are they okay? Poor Xiao is panicking, calling for his little friend.

He finds them with Zhongli. Locked in a cage made of Geo.

Do you think he can convince Zhongli that his little friend isn’t a threat?

(please note that i know nothing about pari lore or behavior-)

i imagine xiao is rather picky about you accompanying him on patrols, always making sure you’re far away from the battle. you’re not to be where monsters can see, where you can get hurt, always at or near where he leaves you.

and you, to your credit, follow this rule fairly well! you watch from afar, typically either playing with butterflies or looking at the flowers around where he left you. you know how he worries, and have been fretted over by him many times, and you’re not keen on stressing him out further.

zhongli had been sensing disturbances in liyue, how the earth is rearranging, leylines shifting and ebbing, as if a restless child finally being out to rest. however, a change in the leylines is never anything safe, not when they’d been utilized by the abyss before. he’d trusted the adepti with it at first, knowing xiao would never allow such a danger to roam liyue unchecked, but it had been too long. he excused himself from the funeral parlor, approaching the area of disturbance himself.

it was… mundane. or, more accurately, par for the course. he heard the sounds of battle, the burning smell of ozone signaling the use of xiao’s vision, but there was no leyline blossom he could see or sense. the hilichurls weren’t stained with curse nor karma, and he decided to ask xiao after he was done. he was confident in his abilities to fight off the enemies, and he might as well get a head start on the search.

nothing. a few chitters from a bird or perhaps squirrel, but nothing disturbed. no marks to the earth, no upturned stones or deep pits, no abnormal elemental flow. and yet, he was certain this was where the cause of the disruptance was from…

he crossed his arms, frowning at his surroundings. it wasn’t xiao, it wasn’t the monsters.. perhaps some infected wildlife?

the birds chirped again. this time, he followed.

a few birds had gathered beneath a tree, surrounding a… pari? he wasn’t aware they even lived in liyue, let alone..

the pari seemed to be playing with the birds. batting a small stone between it and the birds. zhongli approached, uncaring of how the birds flapped away, focused on the twist of the pari looking up at him.

he crouched. “and what are you doing here, hm?”

the park backed away from his hand when he slowly reached out, and his eyes caught on how the grass in front of them seemed to grow quicker, weaving into a sort of shield.

everything clicked at once.

“so you’re the one doing this.”

his hand shot out, folding in the pari’s wings, grip tight. it squirmed and chirped, as if crying for help, but he paid it no mind. his free hand waved, a cage of geo sprouting from the ground, and he locked it inside with little hesitation. he’d have to alert xiao, so he knew why the leylines were acting up-

“rex lapis? what are you doing?”

that was convenient.

zhongli grabbed the top of the cage, turning as he stood. xiao still had his polearm in hand, eyes wide. he seemed frantic… perhaps he did know that this pari was the source of elemental dissonance?

“ah, xiao. i was simply collecting this strange pari-“ he waved at the cage, and the pari flapped its wings almost angrily “-as i believe it is the cause for the disruption of liyue’s balance. i assure you that i am more than equipped to handle this myself.”

“no, that’s not- that-..” xiao seemed to be lost for words, face twisting the longer he looked at the pari. “they’re not a threat.”

he was ready to protest, when he noticed the way the pari was acting. pressed against the side of the cage not to flee, but that was closest to xiao? how odd, he didn’t know that pari were that social-…

“have you been cursed, xiao?”

Cameron is so cocky for someone who already got evicted.

The difference between his and Felicia’s game is that she didn’t need a fucking twist to keep her game alive.

#big brother #cbs #bb25 #like your ass would be at home WATCHING if it wasn’t for production saving your ass

[17yearcicada]

i'm gonna keep it real with you guys i really cannot with this director

#man is doing a lot of big talk about 'professionalism' for someone who is running this production like it's for elementary schoolers #also his time management is ASS. which i know pot kettle whatever. but at least my poor time management skills only affect me #i have a headacheeeee i should have gotten more sleep last night. whatever #.txt

[starredforlife]

what’s a career I can do from anywhere and get reasonably paid for where I can be outside n do basic manual labor perhaps with some kind of design or artistic angle and don’t say mural painting bc I’m bad at painting (genuinely)

#like I know technically film can fit in this category but the hours are ass and the pay is bad for production workers #lawn care or landscaping is one I wouldn’t be too opposed to but i also don’t have a big green thumb or anything #star’s thoughts #hghghgh it’s fine I just don’t know what I want to do for the next couple of years considering how much I hate Hollywood #I’m gonna make art on my own time that won’t change

[thatchaotictiefling]

OH WAIT I FORGOT TO POST THIS!

I title this: Smoking is cool and all 7 year olds should try it.

My DND OC Violet (shadow monk/rogue) in a baseball pinup sort of vibe, I'm obsessed with her. Heavily inspired by my time in the TF2 fandom and a certain type of scout art.

Violet hits things with a stick until they die too, so it kinda fits lmao. I may do more inspired by other TF2 classes? We will see.

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #ocs #tf2 #illustration #feel free to reblog :) #listen. we dont need to talk about how i never considered baseball sexy poses until i indulged in scout art. #i am a product of my hyperfixations there is no denying that #also you can tell by how i draw Violet that i am an ass man. its hard to have your art tell you that #VERY proud of how the smoke came out; ive never rendered smoke before but it look great IMO #also if it wasn't extremely clear; the phalic imagery was very intentional. she got that metaphorical big dick #i think this is the first time ive drawn her in 'modern' clothes. very funny #ALSO i tried a new trick to make the color more harmonious and i like it. everything is tinged a little blue and it makes everything meld #also; what is she sitting on? fuck you; a nondescript cube #one last thing: ive given up posting to my old art blog; im just gonna post stuff hefe since i draw so infrequently #and reblog to my OC blog when applicable #kay bye like and reblog pls *kisses*

as a freelance theatre professional, i often have to bring my work home. and that doesn't only mean unpaid labour in terms of preparation and applying for funding, but literally having crew meetings and rehearsals in my living room. i've been doing it since my third year of art school and i've done it on more projects than i can count. i don't mind it most of the time, but i understand that it's indicative of self-exploitation, my career bleeding into my private life, and also the devastation of the infrastructure that indie arts (and arts in general, who am i kidding) have to deal with which had lead me to start doing this in the first place. Not to mention that the funding we receive is never enough to cover for places to rehearse in, and those are usually few and far between, not to mention a scheduling nightmare.

So long story short, it's almost always easier to say 'fuck it, we'll just do it at my place.'

with that context out of the way, what i really wanted to say was -

i find it hilarious that that's more or less how they shot those scenes in england for buffy season 7

#yes i am well aware that i don't have a big ass property in somerset but i love it when mainstream productions do guerrila shit like that #really puts things into perspective #also yes i've been sick at home for the past week and am experiencing an intense buffy brainrot what of it #btvs #buffy season 7

I honestly love just how Bad the Addisons are at their job. Except for pink, pink is the only one who does a somewhat solid job. But like, look at the second shoe addison, selling you shoes as food; or the mannequin addison (who was selling it on a discount), who as soon as you buy their product is like we are out of stock! keep buying! we are out!! . It's pretty sad to be honest, like, i could almost understand why they were such jerks when Spamton made it big, i think i'd have too :/

#luly talks #that last sentence is a lie i dont have a bone of envy in my body i love when others are winning i couldnt care less #but still i get it. like you're busting your ass off trying to make it big like spamton wants control but these dudes must likely too #the addisons dont even get to choose their deals which explains why the blue one is so confused trying to make you eat shoes #i have no explanation why the pink one is such a fucking sigma tho but i love them sm for that #refuses to talk about spamton makes solid sales offers various useful products #sigma grindset all the fucking way forever a pink addison stan #anyway they're just really sad spamton is so fucking unlucky tho #the real question is tho: who tf is hiring them? queen? #the city is so full and yet so desolate it's Odd. #deltarune #addisons

Not sure if i have ever said this but Stina absoloutely has muscles and can kick your ass. My source? I don't need one this is common sense. It is as obvious as the sun is on a cloudless day. Blindingly and unequivically existant and true.

#She is also some flavor of trans and a lesbian #In case you couldnt tell #I can tell #Because I am the stina expert of all time #Sophie is so gay for her and her big strong arms and being picked up in those big strong arms #This post is also partle because ive been reading smoke and iron. And glain reminds me a bit of stina. #Enough to make me go ksmsksme muscular stina #Anyway when will stina get to arm wrestle someone in canon shannon? And beat their ass? #When does she get a sword? #Or axe. God i would die if she got like a battleaxe or something. #As you can see my thoughts are very good and productive rn. #Kotlc #Stina heks

Yknow if Joanne’s really wants to stay in business and thrive again they have to completely redirect their targeted audience. Most people don’t walk into Joanne’s and go “god I REALLY want to get hundreds of dollars worth of Easter decor, and yards and yards of gold metallic brocade and this specialty st Patrick’s day flannel”

Most people walk into Joanne’s and go “man I’m like 5 black buttons short for my project” and then they go to the button isle and all of the buttons are ornately designed except for the single overpriced bag of regular black buttons.

#they need to start carrying plain shit #I’m not even kidding #bags of plain buttons #rows of plain old matte polyester satin #just like a lot of really basic fabrics in a variety of colors #bulk isles of big roles of bias tape #Walt talks #if Joanne’s could offer me a plain ass no design selection of plain ass polyester fabrics in a wide variety of color #for about 10 dollars give or take a yard #I’d actually shop there on a semi frequent basis #right now I only go to Joanne’s for felt; thread; and the occasional button run #which means I’m there maybe 3 times a year #I know everything at Joanne’s has to be marked up because they’re paying bills and employees #but I feel like their priority choice in products isn’t doing them any good #like chill out on the 50 st patricks day flannels and get a little more enthusiastic about plain 4 way stretch fabrics
