One of the things I find utterly delightful about NuWho is how all of the actors who have played the Doctor have gone on to play deranged villainous characters in comic book adaptations.

All of which is to say that I'm eagerly awaiting the Unhinged Villain chapter of Jodie Whittaker's career.

#doctor who #the doctor #i guess most of this is because Americans still use the Evil Brit character trope but still #it's like the bbc's casting department was like Who Could Also Convincingly Play The Master and just used that as their main criteria #chris eccleston #david tennant #matt smith #peter capaldi #thor the dark world #malekith #jessica jones #kilgrave #morbius #milo morbius #suicide squad #the thinker

the reason why Daniel even played Vlad was because there were some people at Netflix who insisted on having a Romanian do the job

they messed up a lot in the series with the given information, those foreign historians are wrong, but the series is told from the turkish perspective, I am bitter but I am also thankful for giving a Romanian the chance to portray one of the heaviest names in history, as he should've been from day 1.

Daniel was a monster, in the best way possible, on screen

Loooool, so it wasn't even because the guys making the show were trying to be accurate this time around?

Yes, I am totally expecting to see a lot of propaganda in s2 too, how Vlad was a monster who had a pathological hate against the Ottomans, but nothing about how that monster was created and why he hated them.

I am rolling my eyes everytime I see someone calling the series unbiased, when it's crystal clear to me that they only care, as you said, for the Turkish POV.

Anyway, the only thing we can hope, is that one day, other countries (especially under-represented countries) will be given the chance to show their history on such large platforms as well. Casting a Romanian to play Romania's most well-known historical personality was a good move.

#i know someone may say 'but greek history is very well known around the world' #yes but has it ever been told by us greeks? no you mostly hear it by brits or americans #also i believe our mythology is more well known than our history #and then our history is only limited to Alexander the Great #(like Romania's history is only limited to Vlad and is also told by Brits and Americans) #also i know i may sound like a hypocrite because many period dramas that i enjoy #do not care for being accurate to the characters' ethnicities #god damn my profile pic is an Irish actor playing a Spanish-Italian person #so perhaps I shouldn't be talking #but i don't know i feel different when it comes to docu-series #is it too much to ask for more accuracy #AND LESS BIAS? #rise of empires: ottoman

Genuine question that I can't find an answer for anywhere: Do Americans typically pronounce the phrase 'trick or treat' with the stress on the word trick, rather than the word treat?

#stuff #there's a recurring theme I notice a lot #where americans will stress the first syllable of a word where brits would stress a later syllable #I've just come across this in multiple youtube videos and it seems like it could be the same thing at play #but this is just mindblowing to me #and I'd really like to know for Envisioning Purposes before I attempt to write Trin's halloween antics

SOMEONE ASKED IF MY ACCENT WAS AUSTRALIAN

of course they did omg we dont even sound that similar 😭😭

#lets play a game called 'how long does it take for a brit to get mistaken for an aussie on american soil' #oh look at that- 4 days #asks #hella tag

charlie cox is british!?!??! and lived with robert pattinson, andrew garfield, eddie redmayne and jamie dornan at the start of their careers!?!? WHO ARE ALL ALSO BRITISH!? what was in the water in their house!??!?!?

#all from a bit of googling and my brain is fried #i MEAN HE LOOKS BRITISH SO I GET IT BUT ANDREW GARFIELD IS BRITISH TOO?? THE BRITS ARE BETTER AT PLAYING AMERICANS THAN AMERICANS #sorry rant over #to delete #charlie cox #daredevil #mine

[greppelheks]

what are some beautiful songs from where you live that people need to hear?

#americans and brits bless you but you're not allowed to play #personal

[disneyprincessdxminatrix]

started watching the IT crowd and I love it.

#boyfriend says they used to play it on Comedy Central?? but I think I was too young to watch it back then #it’s so much like MA 2412 😍😍😍 (obscure austrian show about a fictional local gov office in Vienna) #but with the British accent mwah sorry American shows but brits are easier to understand for me on tv #my stuff #also yeah I watch a lot of tv on weekends #I watched lookism today but it was only 8 episodes and started the new season of You #then browsed Netflix and ended up with IT crowd

EUROPEANS ACTUALLY SAY SHAG?? I TBIUGHT THAT WAS SOME SHIT JK ROWLING MADE IP IN TJE 90S WHATTT

Lmao well brits and irish people do. Maybe other non-us english speakers, idk. I'm danish, so obviously I don't, but the 'fuck, marry, kill' game has always been called 'shag, marry, kill' when I've played it with friends, to the point where 'fuck' instead of 'shag' just sounds very wrong to me in that sentence. No idea why we specifically chose to import the UK phrase for it over the US one. I guess I can imagine 'shag' seeming like one of those slang words people don't actually use in earnest if you've never heard people use it much lmao

#ask #anon #thinking about my friend who got a hook-up text from a brit saying 'fancy a shag' lmao #sorry to put you on blast like this e #she doesnt use tumblr it's fine #also do us americans play fuck marry kill in a different way?? #because the way I'm used to you're presented with three different ppl and you HAVE to sort them into one of each category #I mean that's the challenge #because sometimes you want to fuck or kill or marry several or all or none right #seems like us ppl do one at a time? seems more chill

it's time for me to be honest. the conspiracy theory that rwrb is a social network RPF drives me insane bc 1. it's not true 2. how did you guys not make a conspiracy theory is was usuk fic instead. was it too on the nose or what.

#.txt #like you heard ''gay romance and one is a brash american and the other is a posh brit'' and you were like ohhhh... jesse eisenberg #HUH??? #granted this is just bc the guy who made it up was in that fandom </3 #also why do people believe anything he says anymore. he also made up the myth about bi spiderman #liek that myth that whatshisface stopped playing him bc he said spiderman should be bi #also all of the other things. the fact he possibly ran the drake x sufjan joke blog gave me trust issues

hey correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Doctor Doom basically Eastern European (if he isn't just tell me fr, i might be wrong)? so here's a groundbreaking idea: how about we cast an actual Eastern Europwan to play him?

#this is your friendly reminder that all of the Eastern Europeans in the mcu are Russians who are played by Americans/Brits #victor von doom #doctor doom #mcu

[agentmika]

when was anybody gonna tell me Oliver Stark is British

#my all american buckaroo is a brit? #thinking rn and fr how often does this happen #british playing American #can someone name an example of an american playing british please

"He concluded that Swedish jurisdiction did not apply."

"Sapo said the decision to shut down the inquiry was taken because it was considered "not possible for the Swedish authorities to pursue the matter further"."

#but yet ignore the american/brits in the area before blast #need a scorecard to keep track who is playing who what when and the cash flows #odd bedfellows

I think my knowledge of Sherlock Holmes stories might be working against me in this case, because I recognized the name of the landlord and have been waiting for the shoe to drop ever since. It still hasn't, but with all the evidence piling up, it seems like a foregone conclusion. I'm almost hoping it isn't him because it'd be too easy.

#kxl plays tgaa #he fooled me for a second by being a proper brit instead of an american like in the story #but the book as evidence? c'mon

[supercantaloupe]

i can already tell walton's crown imperial march is gonna be on my list of "listening on repeat" tracks this week

#sasha speaks #the original and the band arrangement. gd damn the marines can play...we'll never hit that tempo cleanly lol #i've said it before and i'll say it again. no one does band music like the brits and americans
