'fruity four' modern hcs

hii this is my first post so i wanted to do something easy to put myself out there :)

eddie munson: - defo has a kirk hammett tiktok fan account where he tries his best to edit him - it's not even a secret fan account, though, it's openly him and he shares it with all his friends - whenever he posts something new his friends are the first to like it, although he's got an impressive amount of followers - the epitome of 'babe wake up, a new kirk hammett edit just dropped' - on a different note, defo plays animal crossing with dustin and they visit each others' islands - this is something he doesn't share with anyone else apart from dustin, though - he thinks it's 'not very metal of him' - still loves all the same music he did in the eighties: metallica, iron maiden, black sabbath etc. - has a hatred for any mainstream artists like harry styles, lorde etc - nothing personal he just hates the style - the closest he's got to a mainstream artist is taylor swift because of nancy and robin, still didn't like her much, though

steve harrington: - spams his private snapchat story with tiktoks, funny and sad ones - this story is his entire livelihood, it consists of the party and the fruity four - it's annoying sometimes but most of the time they enjoy looking at it - he also has every games console under the sun and loves playing fortnite and minecraft unironically - probably the nerdiest thing he does - loves jenna ortega and literally watches anything she's in because he's a massive fangirl - not in a weird way like all those tiktok boys but he literally thinks shes such an amazing actor and watches everything she's in - even watched stuck in the middle for her when he was younger - that's where his fangirling started - loves arctic monkeys and the 1975 - also an avid stevie nicks and fleetwood mac fan

nancy wheeler: - 100% a pinterest girlie - has a board for everything and it's all so organised - if there's something major going on in her life that she's planning e.g., a party or a gathering, you can trust that she has a pinterest board for it - doesn't have instagram because she refuses to download it due to its 'hyperfixation on boosting unrealistic beauty standards and lifestyles' (her words not mine) - despises reality tv for the same reasons - swiftie, enough said. - 1989, lover, debut, speak now swiftie

robin buckley: - unironically stans harry styles but that's okay - as much as she loves harry styles, she also loves old music - her go to is blondie - has the nicest 'pinterest' aesthetic bedroom with those prints and posters everywhere - also a swiftie - folklore, reputation, lover, evermore, midnights swiftie - adores pop culture - celebrities, interviews, magazines and celeb drama are what she lives for - annoys nancy with it because nance hates that stuff but she doesn't mind because robin's her friend - pays for a spotify premium family for her friends (the fruity four) instead of getting them birthday gifts because she loves music so much and believes it's the 'best gift anyone could give' and way more worth it than a physical materialistic item - obsessed with jellycats

Some facts about Zac Which you may or may not know!:

1. He turned down a big record deal.

Jesse McCartney said Zac turned down a record deal, with six zeros attached to the end of it (huge $ offer) Due to his preference for acting. The deal wanted him to put out a solo album. Not sure how many offers he got, but it is known Simon Cowell of all people wanted to sign Zac.

Additionally it was Zac’s love for singing that opened the door for him into the acting world.

———

2. He knows how to play the piano.

Growing up Zac has mentioned a few times very briefly that he knows how to play the piano extremely well. He took piano lessons as a kid, and it was his piano teacher who took notice of how talented he was and helped aspire his parents to get him involved in auditioning for roles.

——-

3. Taylor Swift herself taught him how to play guitar.

Even though he knew how to play piano quite well, Zac said he struggled with learning how to play the guitar. He stated his previous attempts have all been failures and nobody could teach him. Up until Taylor Swift of all people (who he calls a legend) volunteered to teach him. Since being taught by Taylor, Zac continued working on his guitar skills and has said he knows how to play almost every song with the four chords Taylor taught him. One of his go to songs he learned to play is Santeria. All thanks to Taylor Swift for being an incredible guitar teacher, according to Zac.

—-

4. He has frog hands.

Picture is self explanatory!

5. He’s into song writing! Says he wants to write his own album one day or even a musical!

One thing a lot of people don’t know about Zac is his interest in songwriting, or rapping. While working on his comedy film, ‘Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates’ Zac wrote (and is credited on) for writing ‘Stang Life’ which is an offical sound track song for the film. Zac additionally raps on the track. The lyrics are understandable if you watch the film, as it’s film-based inspired lyrics. Zac also co-wrote his collaboration parody duet with Taylor Swift and wrote Vanessa Hudgens a song for her birthday.

——

—

6. He likes to write poems, and loves to paint & draw which he does really well.

A Zac fact that most people don’t know but something he mentions often is his love for poetry & painting/drawing which he is good at.

His (now removed, or faded) feather tattoo on his bicep was actually designed (drawn) by entirely him. Which he once mentioned in an interview.

Quote: “I actually designed it (tattoo). I like to sketch - it’s my favourite medium. I’ve done drawings and paintings for girls, but mostly I do comic books. Sometimes it’s just nice to put thought.”

—-

7. He is super nerdy which was a big shock to Zendaya.

In an interview while doing press for The Greatest Showman, Zendaya shared her first impressions on Zac. She never expected that Zac would be what she calls a “super nerd” since he’d go on telling her about Stranger Things, which he’d passionately deep dive about. Growing up, Zac wasn’t the popular kid in school, and sometimes bullied. Although he did community theatre which was an escape for him. His teacher once described him as “shy and quiet” and spoke about his passion and determination for acting.

—-

8. He did extremely well in school growing up, with high grades and never slacked off. Leading him to be accepted into the University of Southern California (USC) & University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)

Pretty self explanatory. Zefron is very smart, especially since USC has a very low acceptance rate. Always has been. Zac not only was a top performer in arts but also academically. Friends of his past said he would take studying very seriously since he doesn’t slack off anything he does.

—-

9. He is a huge animal lover! Who grew up with his Siamese cat Simon, and two dogs, Dreamer and Puppy.

This one is a more obvious fact! Since there are plenty of interactions with animals, since he is a big time animal lover. One of the very first pets he owned was a kitten he called ‘Cucko Kitty’ it was a kitten Zac found as a stray & rescued.

——

10. He played on a baseball team while growing up and has a signed baseball from Dusky Baker.

Before he got into theatre, and singing & dancing. Baseball was one of the sports Zac would play growing up! Dusky Baker is also one of the players who signed his ball when Zac was only a kid. Promising after 35 minutes he’d return from church to sign it, which he did.

—

11. He had a very large gap between his teeth while growing up, and has a whole lot of freckles!

His gap may be fixed nowadays! But time to time when he doesn’t wear his retainers his signature gap between his teeth makes a small comeback! Other than the bright eyes and gap, Zac also has a freckles all over his nose and freckles on his cheeks too.

Richard Burton Interview with BBC reporter John Simpson (1977) - shortly after his 1976 divorce from Elizabeth Taylor.

I was the BBC’s radio correspondent in Johannesburg at the time when the African scenes in The Wild Geese were filmed… . The prospect of meeting Roger Moore, Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Hardy Kruger was, of course, an attractive one, though I probably didn’t mention that side of it. It would scarcely have sounded sophisticated. 

“If you remember, I asked for an interview with Richard Burton.” … I wasn’t expecting anything. If Richard Burton was too grand to have lunch with the others, he would certainly be too grand to be interviewed by me. The PR man came back looking apologetic. I was ready with a sharp reply, assuming I would be given a crisp turn-down. 

“He says if you don’t mind the mess in his caravan… . . [H]e’s just going through it a bit. That’s all.” 

He certainly was. Richard Burton’s ravaged, pockmarked face looked even harsher in reality than it did with all the care of the make-up artists. And despite the fierce sun outside he looked pale and unhealthy. 

But nothing could affect the voice. 

“Come in, come in, my dear boy,” he said, gripping my hand and pulling me up the steps… . The warmth of his tone outdid the afternoon heat. 

“Really sorry not to be down there with the others for lunch,” said Burton. “The fact is, you see, I’m on the wagon at the moment, and it doesn’t feel all that good, I have to confess… . Wish I’d been teetotal, like my old schoolmaster told me. But the stage, you know. And the company I’ve kept.” 

He gave a huge laugh, which seemed to make the entire caravan shake. It was a big one, with room enough for a sizeable (unmade) bed and a table covered with books, make-up bottles and photographs in silver frames. The biggest photograph was of Elizabeth Taylor. I had wondered how to broach the subject, after their divorce. But with Burton, whether it was because of the influence of the bundu or his free, open nature, there was no trouble at all. 

He saw the direction of my eyes. 

“Ah, Elizabeth. Isn’t she the most beautiful animal you’ve ever set eyes on?” 

… . I nodded, and felt emboldened. 

“So, you don’t feel bitter towards her?” 

“Bitter?” The caravan shook again. 

“Look, if she’d have me back I’d leave this sh—y film and this ghastly heat right now, and charter a plan to go wherever she was. Actually I know where she is. She’s in Malibu. I kind of keep in touch, you know.” 

“So why… . .?” 

“It’s the old thing: can’t live with her, can’t live without her. But I adore Elizabeth, and I always will.” 

There was a catch in his voice, and he looked out of the window at the baobab trees. 

“I don’t drink now, you know. I’m not pretending it’s not painful, but I’ve given it up for good. It was what Elizabeth hated most in me, I think, even though she’s pretty partial to it herself. It was like pouring petrol over our marriage. And now I don’t do it anymore. I hate it, in fact.” 

… . It seemed to me that a tear was glittering in his eye… . 

“What is it about her that you love so much?” 

“Ahhh,” he said expansively, waving his arms at the baobabs, “where does one start? ‘Age cannot wither her… .’ She’s a magnificent actress, you know, if only they will let her be.” 

“She’s lazy, they say, and they also say she’s not very bright, though that happens to be an outright, damned lie. It’s just that her brightness is a natural brightness, not necessarily a college brightness. She may not know all about Shakespeare or Marlowe or Albee, but she understands the emotional truth, and that is what she projects.” 

… “Director wants to know if you’re all right, Mr. Burton.” The voice was muffled by the door. 

“Tell the director to go and f—- himself. I’m reminiscing here about the divine Elizabeth, and mustn’t be disturbed.” 

“You were telling me about her understanding of the emotional truth of a part.” 

“Was I?” … “But you see, what I should have said was that she was a lass unparalleled. A woman of the most charming but also the most natural kind. She could take care of a man, you know.” 

He glanced at me. 

“No, I don’t mean that. What I mean is that she could be so normal, so natural, so caring. 

Listen. Once I took my brother and my business manager to Twickenham for the Wales-England match. Wales won; they always did in those days. And of course we had too much to drink, even my little runt of a manager. Much too much. And we came back on the Tube, and fetched up for some reason at Tottenham Court Road station. I must have said I knew a bar near there. It was late, you see, about midnight. 

There was a gang of about a dozen skinheads at the top, all tattooed with England flags on their chests and faces and arms; a rather fearsome sight. 

Well, it was too late to turn back, so we decided to take them head on. When I say we, I mean my brother and me. The last I saw of my manager, he was shouting, ‘You can’t hit me, I’ve got a briefcase.’ They gave us both a pretty good going-over. I think they were worse to me, though I don’t think they’d seen me on the screen. Maybe I was just bigger and uglier than my brother. 

And then they left us lying there at the entrance to the Tube. My brother said he thought he could manage to get home by himself, and he hailed a taxi for me. He had to do quite a lot of persuading, because my entire head was a mass of blood. But at least I didn’t seem to have any bones broken. I told the driver to take me to the Dorchester, and gave him a tenner. Which was pretty good money in those days. 

They wouldn’t let me in at the Dorchester, of course, till I told them who I was and demanded to see the manager. Then they were niceness itself, and two of them helped me to the door of our suite, though I told them to leave before I banged on the door for Elizabeth. 

But, you see, she was magnificent. Utterly magnificent. She didn’t have a fit of the vapours, she didn’t get excited, she didn’t even tick me off for being drunk and getting beaten up. 

‘Oh, you poor thing,’ was all she said, and she rang down for bowls of water and towels and bandages and God knows what. And when they sent up some kind of quack to look after me, she shooed him away. 

She sponged the blood off my face, and found that my left eye was halfway out of its socket, so she carefully put it back in. Would you ever imagine that someone like her would be able to do any of that? But she was tough, you see, and brave too. And she tucked me up I in bed with the bandages over my head, and at nine o’clock the next morning, when I was starting to feel a bit better, she ordered up a magnum of Bollinger to cheer me up. And then she sat on the side of the bed and toasted me and Wales’s victory.” 

He paused, and looked away from me and the microphone. 

“Magnificent woman, in every way. Magnificent. If I’m honest, my life is a little empty without her.” 

He thought for a moment. 

“No, if I’m honest, my life is horribly empty without her.” 

I (author) said goodbye not long afterwards, and shut the door of the caravan on him. He waved me out in the most courtly fashion, but I think he was probably glad to be left alone with Elizabeth Taylor’s picture.

I know they had a white face model (Ty Brenneman) for Ada in 6 (idk if it’s because I’m Asian but and it’s so painfully obvious to me despite Capcom trying to adjust the features, I’ve seen others say she looks Asian to them and I don’t know how bc all I see is a white woman lol personally that always prevents me from ranking re6 Ada too high against her other versions) so I don’t think the face capture was necessarily to be modeled after the VA, maybe the face capture was mainly for the lip and facial capture while she recorded her lines so it was easier for the devs to put into the game? Though I have seen people say Capcom tries to hire the VAs these days to match face shape/features of their face model, but not sure how true that is.

For Damnation I don’t think that was done since Jolene Andersen was the mocap for the Damnation and she also did the body and face mocap separately while Courtney Taylor provided the VA separately. Jolene talks about it in one of her interviews on YT but can’t remember exactly which one, the crimson head one I think. (I think in the same interview, super insightful overall, she even shines light in the scene where Leon comes to save her and she says “I can’t get it out”, while quick & short, was super vulnerable for Ada to even say in front of Leon that the director made them run through that scene many times in different ways to get it emotionally correct!) From what I also remember, she found out and went to the audition on her own, but does think that when Capcom saw that she had previous experience doing the mocap for Ada in Damnation it could’ve helped land her the role in RE2R. The face shapes of Damnation and RE2R are so different so that’s why I’m kinda doubtful that the VAs/mocappers are at all referenced.

yes so i have a bit of information about this because it was a hyperfixation for a while

so yes, generally when you have a mocap artist and a face model, you need that person to have similar enough face features as you're essentially "painting," the face model onto the mocap model. this is why generally some larger games will tend to hire actors to do the mocap work as well as it's much easier to paint a face that is the exact same as the mocap model.

this is also why games like detroit become human (regardless of what you think of the plot lol) is graphically amazing. the faces match the mocap actors because they ARE the face models. this isn't always necessarily done as we clearly know, but having the same for both always makes the realism better as the mouth and facial movements are the same.

in the case of leon and re4r, it's likely that the face model (who we don't name because he generally left the internet because of how the resident evil fans were harassing him) was used for re2r leon and was slightly altered as he's not super similar to his face model. (i'm taking slight alterations to his features, and his body are not similar at all.) leon in re4r seems to have aged, but i do wonder if they opted some of nick apostolides' features to allow more smooth animations

the one thing i've noticed is that the mocap actors for ada have been consistently much taller than her canon height which is usually described to be 5'7. jolene and lily both tower over nick (Leon's mocap/va) and Nick was even unsure of the fact that he would get the role as he was potentially too short to play the role of Leon.

This makes me think that they had to drastically size down Ada for their scenes together.

(Though I have seen people say Capcom tries to hire the VAs these days to match face shape/features of their face model, but not sure how true that is.) This is absolutely true as a potential reason why certain actors are hired. But it's not always necessarily the case.

I still have a special place in my heart for re6 ada, but i agree because of her face model being predominantly white features, i can't rank it super high.

yes i believe because jolene had already done stunt work and mocap work, it helped to secure her role as ada in re2r.

(The face shapes of Damnation and RE2R are so different so that’s why I’m kinda doubtful that the VAs/mocappers are at all referenced.) It's likely that the technology used is also more advance at this point. i would argue that yes the models are vastly different, (mostly the shape of Ada's face and general height of her head, and the eye shapes.) but overall, it wouldn't be super difficult to replace her face with the model. it would if they had a different jaw, lip structure and it would've impeded the ability to have a consistent facial movement between the two, but they're not that different to ruin the mocap > face model.

The only one that we can confirm is that re6 Ada's face was partially modelled after Courtnenay as she states here. Everything else is speculation and assumptions based on the mocap industry and how it works as a whole.

THE ACTOR'S ACTOR

Michael Shannon is still trying to figure out a few things. Minor issues, like, what the hell is America about? And why do our vocations not contain the keys to a simple life? Shannon has recently added a directing credit to his extraordinary acting C.V., but in most other respects he’s just one of us.

photography MICHAEL SCHWARTS

Hollywood actor Michael Shannon is photographed for the Issue 83’s cover of The Rake magazine. Michael wears Brioni, Dunhill and Audemars Piguet.

Speaking to The Rake in early July, from his home in New York, Michael Shannon is — emotionally, at least — on both sides of the Atlantic. “I’m a massive tennis fan, and I’ve just been watching [Novak] Djokovic dismantle your fellow Brit [Cameron] Norrie,” he says.“Before that we were watching the Nadal and [Taylor] Fritz match. Oh, Rafael was in pain, but he still won.” All of which might sound like small talk, but Shannon has brought up tennis for reasons related to a vocation that has earned him Academy Award (2016’s Nocturnal Animals, 2008’s Revolutionary Road), Golden Globe (2014’s 99 Homes) and Tony Award (2016’s Broadway revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night) nominations.

Acting, he says, involves getting into something resembling a meditative state. “You have to be able to still your mind, for sure,”he says.“You can’t be thinking about a bunch of other stuff. When I’m doing a scene, I have a couple of ground rules. Like, I never bring my phone to set, ever. I’m not judging anyone who does, but for me the thing you’re trying to do is so enormous and multifaceted that for me it has to be the only thing you’re thinking about. So I try to have no distractions at all. A lot of the time [on set] I don’t really say much, and people can misconstrue that as, ‘Oh, he’s, he’s “method”’. But I’m defiantly anti-method. I think the notion of trying to walk around all the time convincing yourself [of something] feels psychotic.

He’s also been busy — exceptionally so — with an eclectic list of yet-to-be-screened projects, all of which suggest that his knack for making the right creative choices as he hits 48 years on the planet remains as sharp as ever. The most prominent include David O. Russell’s 1930s-set mystery-comedy Amsterdam (alongside Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, Anya Taylor-Joy and Robert De Niro) and Bullet Train, an action thriller directed by David Leitch and released this summer, in which Shannon joins Brad Pitt, among others, as assassins on the eponymous high-speed train deciphering the connection between their various missions.

Shannon plays White Death, and viewers expecting his character to pack the most menace won’t be disappointed. “Bullet Train is filled with a lot of really scary assassin-type people, but they’re all scared of White Death,” he says. “I guess he’s the super-assassin. The high priest of death. And he’s the boss of this international cartel that deals in very shady things. He’s the one that’s supposed to make everybody shake in their boots, I guess.”

[popcultureconfessions]

I don't know why you are so against lmm working for disney or doing musicals/voice overs? He adores musicals and I'd go as far as to say he has been the best writer that disney could've gotten in recent years. He is so good at writing songs that everyone will love (not talking about songs like scuttlebutt, which has been controversial, but rather stuff like wdtab). He has a distinct music style, yes, and people who have already decided they don't like him, hate on that but that doesn't mean for a second that he's bad at writing it (not saying that you ever said he is, but bare with me). I don't see why disney wouldn't want to hire him.

Also, he is a very animated person, which is perfect for voice acting. He also has a unique, cheerful, excitable voice— which does wonders with the target audience for the films he has worked on. Again, I don't see a reason why people won't be adamant on hiring him for this stuff. (+ I can assume he wants to be apart of things his kids can continue enjoying even as they grow up and maybe even want to show his grandkids, but that's not for certain)

I do like lmm's more mature and softer side, so I can see why you or any of his fans would want to see him in roles that reflect that part of him, I've been dying for him to take on a romcom role again.

but that all being said, at the end of the day, I don't see a problem with him going after roles, or letting himself be cast in roles and jobs, that fit into the "stereotypical" lmm formula. I'm mostly fine with it because he clearly only chooses to be apart of projects that he is passionate about and I think saying he "sold his soul to disney" is just not correct at all. The passion he puts into his work is everything. He worked hard to be in a position where he is able to pick projects that speak to him and I love that for him.

P.s. I apologise if this comes off as aggressive, truly, because that's not my intention. I just have seen multiple posts from you talking about this topic and I just wanted to give my thoughts as well. I'd love to hear your reply :)

Hi, I apologize for how long it took for me to reply. You didn’t sound mean, it’s all good!

I don’t mind him writing music and starring in musicals, because I know that composing music is something he’s genuinely passionate about and has a natural talent for. I I hope he continues that for the rest of his beautiful life! As for Disney, however, I feel that he just needs to step away from the company for a while so he can focus on writing mature music - musical films or not. In other words, for example, I’d love for him to write songs for original films. Like what Taylor Swift does. I think he’d do great! I agree with you, though, and everything you said really is spot on, especially about his uniqueness. One of the many things that I love about Lin is how passionate he is about his work - you can just see and hear the excitement in his tone during interviews! 🌞 As far as acting and his roles go, while I do, too, love how animated he is, I just feel he has potential to be more versatile. I don’t hate any of his work, though. I know he has kids and wants to have some movies and shows for them to watch, so it makes sense why he often does voiceover. If he’s comfortable with stereotype roles, then that’s his choice. I just wish he pushed himself more is all. I mean everything I say out of tough love.

(And yes, I want him to star in a rom-com too!)

Any thoughts on the new Zod series and the other Superman-related announcements at SDCC ?

Seems like most of the actual exciting announcements came from the DC Connect leaks. Despite this SDCC being hyped up as a "return to comics", DC didn't seem ready to actually reveal much (nor did Marvel to be fair).

Biggest announcement that I care about is Joe Casey making a surprise return to DC for a Zod book! Solicit sounds like a dream come true, my own idea for a Zod book was him making moves to establish New Krypton as a power with influence in the United Planets, and this is doing something different but intriguing nonetheless. Need to reread Casey's Superman, I believe he did some cool stuff with Pokolistan Zod previously, but this is his first time working with the genuine deal. Seems Ursa and Lor are gone/dead. I have a theory that this is spinning out of the 2024 Brainiac event. Williamson had Supes and Zod divide Kandor between themselves, and my hunch is the event will be Brainiac trying to reclaim Kandor. I predict he will reclaim Zod's half and also bottle Ursa and Lor too, which Zod will blame Kal for. Can't wait to see what Casey does, this might finally give us the big Zod story we've been waiting for.

From the leaks we know that Tamaki/Patridge are doing a Supergirl Special that hopefully is a prologue to a new Supergirl book, similar to what just happened with Power Girl. Tamaki's Being Super was good, my only qualm is that it turned Kara into Clark Lite. That's not what I want for the mainline Kara, I don't want Kara wearing glasses, or being a journalist, or even having a secret identity, none of that appeals to me. I don't think it makes sense for her character, nor does it make for an interesting character. If DC wants me to check a Tamaki Supergirl book out, I need to know Tamaki gets that Kara isn't Kal and won't try to make her fit his mold. Especially after King's excellent miniseries, Kara needs someone who is going to tell stories with her that you could only do with Kara.

Neither Williamson nor PKJ want to do a Mxy story per their own words which is a bummer. Maybe PKJ was trolling/lying since I've listened to interviews where he said he liked Mxy and had story ideas for him, or maybe he changed his mind like he did with Toyman. PKJ had a surprise villain appear in the Metallo arc with Cyborg Superman, I'm betting another classic Superman villain will be involved in this upcoming Blue Earth arc. Ultra-Humanite is my guess since PKJ has said he wants to deliver on those two dangling plot threads that Morrison set up. Williamson has a new villain coming in the Chained, and also teases stuff coming for Livewire, Parasite, and Toyman. I continue to be pleased with all the love the Superman Rogues are getting.

No announcements/appearances from Taylor at the Superman panel which is giving me the slightest bit of optimism that he's well and truly done with Superman for a while. He'll probably shove Jon onto the Titans team but I don't care about that. Jon wasn't even mentioned at all, he's well and truly flopped at this point. Until he gets a new creative team to try and salvage him, I'm fine with him playing support in Action and/or on the Titans.

JLvGvK sounds and looks fun as hell, keep the JL on Earth 0 disbanded forever and do more crossovers like this instead

Anonymous asked: What do you expect from this rumored Crisis on Infinite Earths animated movie?

This has been rumored for ages, so maybe they were able to get Conroy in the studio before his death? Otherwise just have Terry be the DCAU Batman, because there's no way the DCAU guys aren't going to show up. Rumor was every animated DC incarnation was going to be involved, and I'm morbidly curious to see if they're actually getting the budget to pull that off (my hunch is no).

Adams claimed that the Tomorrowverse will continue after this, so my guess is that this is going to be them incorporating other takes into the Tomorrowverse - I expect Stana Katic Diana to be folded into the Post Crisis Earth, maybe Keaton Hal Jordan too - and this will mark the end of the Multiverse stories for a while. If Adams is lying then this will kill off the Tomorrowverse so they can switch to making DTVs for the DCU. Warworld wasn't good so I'm fine with them ending the Tomorrowverse, they made a lot of weird choices there anyway.

Oh and DC is adapting Watchmen again. I can only assume this is laying the groundwork for a Doomsday Clock adaption down the road, because otherwise what's the point? Animation guys are not going to turn in a better script than Snyder did, nor can they match the budget of the Snyder movie either

Otherwise...

Ram V signing a DC exclusive is welcome news, I expect Tec will remain his main book for the duration of his two year contract, but this means we will keep getting great side books like the Vigil or Swamp Thing.

Gotham War sounds boring, I'm eager to get through it to the other side

New Outsiders book that is basically DC Planetary interests me, good to see Batwoman moving back to being the Bat who does weird shit rather than being "the soldier"

Seems Wells will remain on ASM for another year, bummer. Slott's getting two Spider-books

At least that Spider-Man 2 trailer looks great! Spidey's gift and curse is that he always has something good coming even when his books suck, which lets me scratch that itch without the comics, but also seems to uplift Spidey's sales even when his books suck. No matter how bad his books are they always sell, leaving Marvel no incentive to purge Spidey editorial the way they need to

Hickman's Ultimate Universe reboot announcements did not materialize, did they decide to save those until after Invasion ends, or are there already troubles behind the scenes?

None of the X-Books are appealing to me, I'm sticking with Gillen's Immortal but once that wraps I think I'll be done.

Pretty boring SDCC honestly. Obviously NYCC 2022 was a rare blowout event, but SDCC didn't even try to match that energy.

“So, Uravity, how does it feel to be out there with the big heroes from your class? Like Dynamight and Shouto, as well as Deku here, just to name a few. It must be an honor to work alongside them, yeah?”

Ochako presses her lips into a tight, polite smile because that's what people expect of her. Of course this is the first question directed towards her. It's an interview with her and Izuku and so far, in 45 minutes, every question has been directed toward Izuku. Even if it is relating to Ochako, it's asked to Izuku. She's over it. * Or, An interview happens and Ochako goes off on the interviewer about sexism, basically.

So what is yours?

Let's share what we're most excited for this week and remember to tag animalanon (if so desire) so we can all share our excitement for this new album and show Taylor (and each other) some love! And remember, each of you are wonderful and deserving human beings who are very much loved 🥰. Now let's have a party!l (squirrels are not invited) 🥳 🥳🥳.

-animal anon

animal anon!!! 🥰💗

You know what? I could really use a new Taylor's album right now cause it's been a bad couple of days and well I'm so thankful we're really about to hear and have Taylor's 10th album in our lives and just the thought of that gives my heart a warm hug 🥺 See, as soon as I've opened your ask animal anon, and saw you mentioned Midnights I was like 'oh right, that's a little but huge piece of joy waiting for me and for all of us in just a couple of days now' 🥺

I totally agree with you animal anon, I LOVE just being here and seeing the little things Taylor does during the week, I think Midnight Mayhem was such a cute and fun idea!! 🤩 I can't wait for Taylor's interviews with Jimmy Fallon and Graham Norton the week following Midnights' release 'cause I always ALWAYS love this type of interviews!! But mostly, as I said, I'm so excited and grateful to be able to listen to Taylor's 10th album for the first time ever next Friday! It almost doesn't feel real! I'm scared thinking how many tears it will have me share hahahah or how many 'solo dance party' in my room it will make have hahah but that's the thing about the album that will make me feel understood and safe and happy 🥺✨💗

Can't wait to see your answers and to freak out all together next weekend swifties!!

💗

animal anon hello!!! I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier!!! u are so sweet and I love that u sent this out!!

other than getting new music I love how everyone's hyped about the same thing during release week!! it's like the way kids get excited for halloween or the winter holidays you know?? like everyone's getting Ready For It (pun intended) and it's (generally) a good vibe. plus I'm personally excited because I have a graduate school interview that day so I had to take time off work but that means after the interview I can just vibe to midnights. midnights feels like a waffles album to me (it feels like the perfect night breakfast at midnight amirite)

#animal anon #animal anon i love u #I am giving u a plate of heart shaped waffles rn #they're homemade and gluten free bc I have celiac

ANIMAL ANON!!! 😻 i love you, and the kindness and happiness you bring to our fandom. 💕💕💕 it's official: black cats, like 13s, are definitely lucky for us!

oh my gosh, can you believe we're already in release week? this whole rollout still feels like a dream we made up - we're truly getting a new album this year?! WHAT. everything has been so vibey and ✨mysterious✨, which i've personally enjoyed a lot, it feels like we're going to share something special collectively in hearing this music for the first time. obviously i'm most excited for the moment it's released and the very first note of music we hear. i'm also looking forward to any surprises she might have this week, or if she tells us the producers ahead of time, and for the interviews she does. i hope she tells us some about how/why/when she was inspired to create a new album, i always love hearing her talk about her art and writing and the creative process. something about the surprise of this era feels special, and her clear pride in the work and the overall joy she's been exuding makes my heart warm. 🥰

i'm so grateful for her music and her presence in my life, and what a constant light and lifeline that's been for such a long time, and i'm grateful that love has let me meet people like you! you are wonderful too and i'm delighted to be sharing this together!!! 💖

#animalanon #YOU ARE THE SWEETEST #letterbox #i want your midnights #i'm so very excited i can feel the little sparks of it in my chest already

Animal anon!!! ILYSM thanks for stopping by my page 😻

Taylor is feeding us SO WELL for release week! 2 (TWO!!) MUSIC VIDEOS aaah!!! And talk show appearances!

What I love most though is freaking out on Tumblr with all the other Swifties, discovering ICONIC moments together, and dissecting the layers and meaning of the song. It's claiming a song, dreaming about tour, and feeling seen. I'm also immensely excited about her interviews! She's always amazingly candid and I love knowing her inspiration and process.

So we're all having a Midnights all-nighter party right??
