so after watching torchwood i think i finally get it. i get it. i understand. i spent my whole life going oh yeah i'm not a big fan of sci fi i only like some of it here and there some of the time. even though my favourite show growing up was doctor who. even though my current special interest is star trek. i get it. i figured it out. i cracked the code.

it's the hope. it's that fundamental truth of these shows, that humanity is inherently good, that humans are good and want to do good and be good and better than they were before. a lot of people are bad and do bad things but humanity as a whole strives to be better.

and that's something that always resonated with me, and it's why i tend to not like most sci fi, all the dark, bleak, humanity is doomed stuff. because i think people are inherently good, and i want to see us thrive and succeed and try to do better, i want to believe in a future where that's true, and star trek and doctor who give me that.

i had a conversation with a friend a while back who said new who is dark but you see the smile on the doctor's face when he says "just this once, everybody lives!" and you see humans surviving until the end of the universe because that's what we do, and you see people banding together to help each other in so many episodes across so many seasons and it's just not true that this show is dark (also a mild tangent but it's a really well lit show, i can always see everything which is not true for most shows these days and i do very much appreciate that)

the "darkness" is what a lot of people don't like about nutrek, too (so many thoughts but this post is getting long). star trek is known for being a hopeful utopia and even when it's not (e.g. ds9) it still makes you want to believe in the goodness of people.

the parallels here are making me insane i just needed to write it all out. if you've read this far here's a picture of a cat

#also i mention torchwood started this thought process because it does still have that #it's a much more depressing show (still well lit tho lol) and it shows this in a very different way but it's still there #star trek #doctor who #meta analysis #also if we're already talking parallels. hoshi sato toshiko sato #alien language translation matrix creators. both japanese. i see you ent fan in the bts of torchwood #i might be the only person in the world to make that connection but i see you #also shared actors but that's tk be expected those trek guys are everywhere

Transcription and Translation of Taylor's Little Red Book Livestream (9th December 2023, to the best of my ability)

Q: Question A: Answer

Side Banters:

H: Host T: Taylor Anything in brackets: me or additional elaboration

Q: Asking him to share his experience of city walking in Shanghai earlier today

A: They went to Yu Garden which Taylor said was incredible, and he tried 糖葫蘆 Tanghulu, a traditional Chinese sweet which is candied Chinese Hawthorn

Q: How was the past few days for him and where did he go

A: He's been in China for four nights now (He came by himself btw) First night he stayed at the J Hotel which is the third tallest building in the world and the tallest hotel in the world. After that, he went to 濮院 (the venue for the GQ event) for two nights and it was incredible

Q: How's his jetlag?

A: It's hitting right now 😂 He's been drinking a lot of tea and getting better

Q: What led him to choose to become an actor instead of a competitive swimmer

A: That was an easy choice, he swan for 10 years and then decided he didn't want to swim in college, and then decided he didn't want to be a doctor (his brother's a doctor) and maybe disappointed his parents (H: No way!) It was a hard decision but he decided to move to LA and pursue acting (H: and you made it!)

Q: How is he enjoying being an actor?

A: It's tough, ups and downs. It's kind of like swimming, it's an individual activity, but you also get to collaborate with the community, which is fun.

Q: What are his favourite three movies and why?

A: The Matrix, Fight Club and Interstellar, he likes movie with a twist

Q: What type of music does he like

A: Deep House, Tropical House, Reggaeton

And then the host taught him a couple of Chinese phrases

Q: What sparked his interest in fashion

A: His dad bought him a subscription to GQ when he was younger which started his interest in fashion, and then he started watching fashion-related movies (like Brad Pitt in Allied) which further cultivated that interest. Maybe in the future, he'll try out characters like that

Q: Did he meet any friends in the GQ event?

A: He met Li Xian who he met in Italy earlier, otherwise met a lot of new people.

Q: Why is he passionate about being eco-friendly when it comes to fashion?

A: It was inspired initially by his mom. They lived in the countryside with horses, cows, and fields away from the city, and he has seven siblings (he's the sixth oldest/ third youngest) so there are a lot of hand-me-downs and not a lot of new things, so the family kept on using the same things. He gained a deeper awareness of the issue in recent years.

Q: Talk a bit about fashion sustainability

A: A lot of fast fashion material and clothes are thrown out really soon and disposed of really quickly (despite still being in good shape) but a lot of clothing material, especially synthetic fabric can't be recycled, so it's just like throwing out plastic. Actually, a lot of clothes can keep being reused and styled. He's had the inner shirt he's currently wearing for four years.

Q: Any future plans?

A: He has a film project early next year and there are other things he's excited about but can't talk about yet

Q: Is he going to Shanghai Disneyland?

A: He wants to but he doesn't have time

H: You don't even need to go to Disney you look like a Disney character already! (Damn right!!!)

Q: What food have you had in China so far?

A: Don't get him started on the subject of food 😂 He's had a Shanghainese Lunch today and a Cantonese (YAY) lunch yesterday, and he's looking for some spicy food for tomorrow. Also, he had a really crazy allergic reaction and his lips got giant (???). He needs to be careful with food.

T: I see talk about RWRB, what do you want to know? I'll give some secret intel

(me: YESSSSSSSSSS FINALLY)

RWRB questions speedrun:

Q: sequel?

A: ... He doesn't know. He says he thinks Casey has to write another book for that.

Q: Deleted scenes?

A: They're deleted for a reason (DUDE)

Q: BTS?

A: He says he has some on his phone and he would show us but he doesn't have his phone right now, he might post it later (PLEASE DO)

H: He's leaving after three days

T: (reading off comments) Come visit Hong Kong next time? Yeah! (me, who lives in Hong Kong: AHHHHHHHHHH)

Q: Do you know any Chinese nicknames of yours?

A: 忒樂. (tei le, or "Tay"-le) meaning too happy (I made a list of the boys' Chinese nicknames here)

Annddd... That's it! The live was pretty short, like 20 minutes? He ended it by picking up the phone and showing the audience the Shanghai city view himself (I was too busy typing to get a screenshot)

All transcription or interpretation mistakes are mine

#rwrb #red white and royal blue #rwrb movie #taylor zakhar perez #alex claremont diaz #holy shit this was exiciting #i haven't done transcription in three years #also something I wanted to note but it's speculation so I'm putting it in the tags #Taylor had to point out RWRB himself even though most of the comments were about RWRB followed by please come to xx city #Even during watching the live i kept thinking why isn't the host mentioning RWRB at all Taylor read RWRB himself #but I have two speculations #either this was in collaboration with a fashion brand so they wanted to put the focus on fashion #but in that case Taylor never mentioned the brand or it was never plugged in like a commercial live stream would #Even the account is Taylor's own account and not a brand account #or it's China's latent homophobia :) which in that case FUCCCKKKK #meraki translates

It’s not reaching to read strong ass themes about autonomy and personhood into titanfall’s 5 hour campaign, and even if it were reaching I would still be having just as much fun jamming all my favourite themes into its gears. The neural link alone is ripe fodder. What does it mean to bond mentally to a synthetic consciousness, let alone one that is programmed to the point of destruction to protect you. To be kept inside its body but to have control of its body transferred to you at the robot’s decision. BT says “Cooper is my pilot,” so by extension this makes BT into Cooper’s titan.

BT’s first protocol is to link to the pilot - in essence, he cannot function unless he is possessed by a human, both in the physical and metaphorical sense. They’re inside each other’s minds and bodies and yet they retain distinct selfhood. Are a titan’s protocols and programming any different from having strong guiding morals? Is the electricity that comprises the consciousness of an organic brain any more significant than the electricity that makes up a datacore? If a robot can learn its decision-making principles through a direct link with its human’s neurons, would it not follow that the robot develops a decision-making matrix that resembles human free will. What if the human in question has grown up through war and has volunteered his own body and personhood to a war for freedom. Aren’t both of their bodies used for the same purpose? Aren’t their identities the same? Their morals?

Plus the entire story is about trust. BT says it over and over, trust me, trust me. To trust something is to have confidence that it will follow through on the promises it gives, like trusting a bridge won’t collapse because you have confidence in its strength. To love someone is to accept they have free will and to help them make the best decisions for themselves, because you can’t control them. When Cooper climbs into the injection mechanism with BT he has to know the dropship rendezvous isn’t coming, he isn’t stupid, and he tells BT he “isn’t going anywhere,” aka, without him. He understands the decision BT has made, and he goes along willingly. Cooper trusts him. He accepts the presence of BT’s free will, because he can’t control what BT does immediately after this. BT overrides the pilot control of his own body, of his own volition, his own free will, because he can’t let Cooper make the wrong decision for himself, even if it was a decision Cooper was making out of love and loyalty. Ergo he loves the robot and the robot loves him

I love the behind the scenes of movies so much. It gives me so much more appreciation for filmmaking as a craft, and so much more appreciation for the individual movies. I didn't really love tlotr that much when I first saw it, but seeing the bts changed the way I viewed movies forever. Seeing the passion, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that is poured over every frame of a movie, sometimes in places you didn't even realise that it could be, is just awe-inspiring. Lotr is the quintessential example of good bts (for good reason), but some other good behind the scenes I can think of off the top of my head are: The Matrix trilogy, Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio, Annihilation, Nope, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Alien, Pacific Rim. I'm sure there are so many more amazing bts out there, if anyone has a favourite please do share, I'd love to hear.
