22 Question Get-to-know me!
Answer 22 questions and and tag 22 people you want to know better.
Tagged by @ben-psolo, thank you my dear. I could use a distraction lately.
Nicknames: None really, sorry to be boring!
Zodiac sign: Capricorn. boring disclaimer: I say Capricorn because that’s the sign that I feel most aligns with my personality, not because it’s the time I was born. My actual sun sign is Sagittarius. But the thing is I actually think the zodiac is interesting, but it becomes completely and utterly useless if the signs are assigned completely arbitrarily based on your birth month, because the fact of the matter is there really is *no* correlation. THAT BEING SAID: if you want to get salty with me for saying capricorn, how’s this: although my sun is in sagittarius, I have like four other planets all in Capricorn, so maybe it’s more accurate anyway to say Capricorn, so eat my ass!!
Height: 5'3"
Last movie I saw: Paterson (which was cute and good)
Last thing I googled: mystery shack floor plan
Favorite musicians: Hard to pick. I haven’t been listening to much music lately. The Tea Party are a criminally underrated canadian band (but only if you listen to albums no later than Triptych). I quite like Jack White. I quite like some of the stuff Hozier does. I quite like the Arctic Monkeys and Gorillaz and good stuff like that… I quite like anything that is a bit different and good.
Song stuck in my head: things from the horrible muzak that they play all day at work.
Other blogs: I have brand new blogs on pillowfort! I wish all you guys would migrate there cause I seriously hate tumblr so fucking much but I get lonely without some kind of vibrant social media. My accounts are rottenbrainstuff and imaginationillustration and I would love it if you followed me there!
Following: 237 (less than half of these are people who are still online though)
Followers: 690 (and I’m pretty sure the majority of those aren’t online anymore)
Do I get asks: Very very rarely: p much only if I’ve left snide comments on some right wing post. There was a brief time after Alien: Covenant came out when there was a very small but very enthusiastic ship fandom that was sending me a lot of asks… those were good times...
Lucky numbers: 3
What I’m wearing: jammmmies
Dream job: Bleh. So this isn’t very inspiring but honestly any job that pays me well so I can live comfortably and doesn’t stress me out and leaves me enough time to pursue the things that are actually important to me is my dream job. But I guess for real my dream job would be making enough money from my various artwork websites that that’s all I do full time, manage my websites and my marketing and just work on the art that *I* want to work on, and sell that directly to people.
Dream trip: a week in some bustling city somewhere far away with interesting history and lots of restaurants and cultural sites to visit, and a generous budget to eat where ever I want and get into cool museums, :D all by myself so I can wander around as I please. Basically, my trip to Los Angeles last year! Tokyo and Paris are on the top of that list.
Favorite food: Japanese. I love the flavours and visual presentation of traditional Japanese food. I also really like yoshoku, which is japanese cooking inspired by western dishes, and this is things like katsu, korokke, japanese curry, etc. I love it all.
Instruments: I play piano. I took lessons for a long time and at one point I was fairly good at it, but these days I don’t play very often. Fun fact: unlike some people who have some kind of innate music sense, I absolutely can’t play anything without having sheet music to read, so I wish people would stop asking me to do that! I can’t just sit down and noodle around and play things like some people can.
Languages: english, and the ability to read most simple written french but not understand it when it’s spoken, thank you very much useless canadian grade school french education..
Favorite songs: myeh I listen to music infrequently and my favourites change all the time. At the moment my favs off the top of my head are Arsonist’s Lullaby by Hozier, Tear you Apart by She Wants Revenge, Do I Wanna Know, I dunno. stuff like that, anything that sounds good.
Random fact: there’s something wrong with my stomach and I’m pretty sure I have some kind of food allergy or intolerance or inflammatory thing going on, but I’ve been procrastinating going to the doctor about it cause food is a huge part of my self-care and stress management and I’m scared I’m going to have to drastically change my diet. YES I KNOW this isn’t good, I am well aware of this fact thank you.
Aesthetic: For clothes? I don’t really know what you would call it. Boring? Cute functional? I don’t have much of a fashion sense. I wear things that are comfy and cute and all-purpose. I have a lot of skinny jeans and long shirts and cardigans, and rather like Paterson’s wife, I buy things that are black and white. (and green) But when it comes to art (especially my own) I have a bit of a morbid streak and I really like art or writing that examines our mortality and the contrast and relationship between the sacred and the profane.
I....... I’m not going to tag 22 people ok? But I’ll tag some recent people in my feed... let’s see, @actualreylotrash @ghostrepeater @fibrochemist @honeygodiva @battysorciere @cumbercougars @glitterkitty4ever @strangelock221b @margasofr tumblr won’t let me tag you. Seriously why does tumblr do this sometimes? Anyway there’s a few people.

Alleged Lucasfilm Insider Spills the Beans
On May 26, 2018, on the /tv/ board on 4chan an user titled Lfl did an AMA session with the users. Given that the source was anonymous and his refusal to prove his credentials, we should take his information it with a grain of salt. Though I felt like resposting most of what he revealed. I know I am posting this with the good chance that OP was just roleplaying, but time will tell whether any of this is real or not.
>any talk of firing kathleen? She’s certainly not in good standing after the Last Jedi debacle. Absolutely hated in my department and by a lot of others I know of.
>Let me guess this is a thread where you pretend Lucasfilm is in shambles because a single movie is underperforming. Far from it, actually, but we’ve seen better days. TFA killed a lot of the creative/“anything goes” vibe we had, as evidenced by the “Art Of” book. Seriously, take a look at how cool some of the concept art we had that was thrown out for a safer approach. However, R1 was a blast to work on and felt like the old days. TLJ and Solo were very awkward to work around. A lot of wasted potential with Solo and a lot of in-fighting with both productions.
>tell me about Indiana Jones, news on the 5th film, are more films in the future? It’s in development hell. 2019 is a lucky shot in the dark. Overall, I don’t know much beyond the fact that it’s barely been moving along.
>Do you wish Kevin Feige was in charge? Are toy companies pissed off because of the lame characters and designs? Possibly. There are a number of people I’d rather have in charge of the writing, mostly some of the creative veterans like Filoni or Leeland. The general idea around here is that a “hands off” producer who could also keep things under control would work best. Hasbro is actually pissed off at the way information is handled and the focus on “earth tones” and less interesting visuals in both background aliens and main characters. Going forward there will be a push for more “toyetic” and PT-esque designs. I’ve seen some interesting IX designs, especially Kylo/Rey, who both have “battle armor” on. Kylo has some sort of red crystals on his. Not sure if Kyber or whatever.
>Is the next anthology really Obi-Wan? Any plans for Maul in other anthologies? Yeah, Obi-Wan is the next anthology. Bit of a poorly kept secret at this point, but the announcement should happen within the next 3-4 months. I’ve seen some concept art and it’s honestly breathtaking. I have a great feeling about the film as long as it isn’t stiffled creatively. Don’t believe any bullshit about Thrawn being in it. As far as I know, he’s not. Next movie is up in the air, but talks are revolving mostly around a Boba Fett/Bounty Hunters movie. After that a Solo sequel is planned depending on how well this movie does. That’s where Maul should be making his next appearance. If Solo bombs then he’ll appear in the Fett movie. Considering the Mandolorian connection between them, it’s not a bad idea in my opinion.
>When’s Kuntleen getting the boot? How exactly are you going to right the ship for Episode IX? How much internal division is there at Disney/LFL about the direction the franchise is taking? Kathleen isn’t going anywhere until post IX. If that and Solo underperform then she’ll probably be chained to a smaller project that no one cares about, (ala FOD) and given creative control to herself. 9 is going to be very different. Timeskip, more “toyetic” designs. Personally, I think the damage is done at this point. A lot of higher-ups were gunning for JJ to do all 3 movies and are losing their minds at the idea of SW becoming unprofitable. By the way, Johnson’s trilogy will most likely not happen. Overall there is a very tense atmosphere in the upper-class of the company. Very competitive overall. Lower on the ranks, everyone seems a little bit more disgruntled than usual and a lot of the “magic” is gone. A lot of people are just happy to be paid.
>Is there any truth to the rumor that they are abandoning the trilogy structure for a continuous MCU style? That’s bullshit. Trilogies will always remain. Now, the anthology movies are a different case. Those will be handled more MCU-like.
>Anon you’re exposing yourself as a fake too easily here. Nobody shills on 4chan. It wasn’t JUST on 4chan obviously, but on the internet as a whole. Journalism sites, fan sites, ect. I think the lesson Disney learned is that shilling for a SW movie is pointless when the fans are so opinionated.
>How did they try to defend it? Rian Johnson was being toted around as a “true fan of both the OT/PT” here and that was the narrative/marketing strategy for awhile. Backfired when the movie actually came out and marketing had no idea how to handle it, so damage-control mode was engaged.
>Tell me the truth, how much posting on the Star Wars reddit is paid for? I go there for a good laugh every now and then, it’s the only community I’ve seen where people are so determined to be positive about TLJ that they will include stuff like “TLJ was my fav SW movie btw” at the end of completely unrelated posts. Reddit is a huge center of the marketing campaigns, especially since the site is such a hivemind and opinions get parroted once they’re popular enough to stand on their own. /tv/ is very similar, but contrarian, and harder to control. The Force.net is another, albeit smaller, center for damage control.
>what’s Rian like? Weirdo. Easily one of the weirdest fucking dudes I’ve met, and I only met him twice. Words cannot describe how awkward he is.
>What’s Pablo Hidalgo really like? Awesome irl, but a bit of a dick online. He’s constantly bombarded though. Personally, I think Matt Martin handles fan relations much better and more enthusiastically.
>Why is Disney afraid of using classic aliens? Why are all their alien designs fucking shit and the exact same earthy-brown muppets? Honestly, the art design in the Disney films are fucking boring, uninspired and more Dr. Who rather than Star Wars. Don’t even get me started. The reasoning behind it is despicable too. That brown/earthy skin tone is cheaper to cast for the prop department than recreating the colorful classic puppets/mask. It’s all about cutting corners. The amount of humans in the recent movies is so fucking boring and everyone agrees. Hopefully that’s something fixed with the “toyetic” initiative in future films.
>what is the general opinion of the movies and characters (rey, finn, poe) in the office? Not hated, but the general opinion is that nothing will come close to George’s movies/characters. Gotta admit, it was funny to watch some of the OT purists at LFL start to appriciate the PT when TFA came out. I think those movies will age a lot better now that George is gone. I know a fair amount people who really enjoy the ST characters. Rey is obviously the most popular, but everyone seems disappointed that Finn was sidestepped and turned into a joke in TLJ/TFA.
>Are they really talking about recasting Leia? That seems like such a shitty thing to do. Unfortunately, I can confirm it’s been talked about. No idea who the picks are, but it’s a better option than CGI Leia IMO
>Do you know why Trevorrow was Fired? What happened behind the scenes in rogue one between Edwards and Gilroy? He literally had no idea what to do with IX after Rian’s Rape and flipped out. I don’t blame him, who the fuck even cares about IX in the fanbase now?

Farewell My President
Tumblr media
I moved to the United States in 2007 so the first time I voted was in 2008 at age 23. And yes, it was for Barack Obama. I even bought a cake with his face on it when he won. It was quite funny. And four years later, I voted again for Obama. Needless to say, the Obama family in the White House has been a huge part of my experience living in America. It was the first time I’ve voted where my candidate had won (twice!). I had voted in Venezuela quite a few times and lost every single time which is why I ended up in America in the first place: the political and economical instability.
I’ve traveled overseas often and Obama has always been loved internationally. I remember when I visited South Africa for 2 months, the driver picking me up at the airport asked if I brought “Obama stickers” – as if I’m his marketing agent? - and compared Obama to Nelson Mandela.
I’ve been living the “American Dream” for almost 10 years now, and it won’t feel the same without Barack and Michelle Obama leading the country. As I reminisce on the past 8 years, here are some of my personal favorite moments of the Obama administration:
   1. Same-sex marriage legal! Obama is the first sitting president to openly support gay marriage. “When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free” – Obama
   2. Has called out to rethink and decriminalize drug use and possession
   3. Restored relationship with Cuba and called for end of Cuba embargo
   4. Ordered and oversaw the Navy SEALS operation that killed Osama bin Laden
   5. Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
   6. A historic commitment to protecting the environment and reversing climate change – doubled clean energy production
   7. Expanded wilderness and watershed protection – has been the president to protect the most National Parks of any president
   8. With the help of Michelle promoted to improve school nutrition and exercise 
   9. Affordable Care Act, A.K.A ObamaCare – because everyone deserves to have healthcare even with pre-existing conditions
   10. Supported Planned Parenthood and women’s reproductive rights
   11. The DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) is an American legislative proposal for a multi-phase process for illegal immigrants in the United States that would first grant conditional residency and upon meeting further qualifications, permanent residency
   12. He wants his daughters to have the same opportunities as any boy and has called to stop objectifying women
   13. He expanded funding for the Violence Against Women Act
   14. We share the same love for Torchy’s tacos. He ordered a Democrat, a Republican "because I'm bipartisan" and an Independent. My personal fav is the Independent (cause it’s the greatest veggie taco ever created!!)
   15. Obama appearing in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Mainly cause I have a huge crush/admiration for Jon Stewart and the two of them in the same room got me all giddy
   16. Joe Biden and Barack’s bromance
   17. Barack’s hopeless romantic ways towards Michelle
   16. Encouraged girls to stay in sports and said “You play like a girl means you’re a badass” after the United States Women’s National Soccer team won World Cup – Being a soccer fan and advocate for girls kicking butt, this was one of my favorite lines. Still brings a smile to my face every time I watch it:

I will miss the intelligence, humor, charisma, dignity and class of the Obama family.
And here I say my last “Thanks, Obama.”

Personal Diagram
Political =  Leftist. My mother was a union women. Think a vote should matter more than a stock. Mixed nationalization, welfare state, and free market (30%). Goal is to get everyone fed and get to Mars via high speed rail. 
Gender = He/Him
Sporting thoughts = Good. Favorite movie as a kid was Dead Poets Society (I already know I am a sentimental cheese ball, no need to hide it) explains the basics of my views on sports. Seems a healthy way to think about competition. Basketball is favorite sport, to watch and to play. I have this jersey I got from my mother, a Montreal Canadians Jersey, which basically has locked me into being a Habs fan.   
youtube
Art = Comics, music, novels, television, poetry, film, visual. In that order. 
Height = 5′11 or somethings 6′0 if I forget what I was measured. 
Child/Son = Ronan Len Reginald Wilson
Partner = Meaghan Elizabeth Reddy. 
Music in one sentence = Death Jazz Funky Pop. 
My greatest wish = to be seen by aliens, to be introduced to their leader, to be hugged by that alien leader who then brings me to the main office where we eat tacos (which they discovered years ago and are now interstellar favs) and chat about the universe. The captain does most of the talking of course. They bring me back safe and sound and promise to meet every month or so. 
Greatest Song =
youtube
Parties = Likes them but not all the time. 
Mind altering things = beer, coffee, sleep deprivation. In that order.

kdramas i have watched and loved (or like loved until the end... which is quite a lot of them)
/ for alex, who is outgrowing netflix /
♥  = favs of favs
[ ] = sass commentary by yours truly
pls excuse the genres im pretty confused. also the summaries are shit. this isn’t even all the dramas i’ve ever watched.
{romance/comedy}
another oh hae young | guy meets girl. they fall in love. girl dumps guy. guy meets another girl. she has the same name as his ex. they fall in love?? [the songs are so pretty and you will cry]  ♥
beautiful gong shim | low key cinderella story but the “prince” is a cheapass lawyer but it cute
cinderella and the four knights | you’d think its a love pentagram but literally the title is misleading there’s like only two guys basically. also get juked the one who seems like the main guy isn’t actually the one she ends up with because it’s only cuz that dude was more famous irl and they needed the marketing
city hall | [i watched this when i was like in elementary school and remember nothing, except that it was good]
coffee prince | good flashbacks to the early 2000s where girls dressed up as guys and gave guys a real headache in questioning their sexuality trope. [super cute but is glad this trope isn’t as popular anymore]  ♥
sassy girl choon-hyang | [again, i dont remember much except that it was hella funny]
full house | another 2000s classic. the let’s-get-fake-married-but-end-up-falling-in-love trope is another trend im glad didn’t make it to 2017
goong | MORE FAKE MARRIAGE but let’s add the twist where the guy just so happens to be a prince. tldr drunk grandpas marry off their children and somehow in the 2000s, that seemed like a good idea to follow through with [it was cute af]  ♥
shy boss | ceo of a pr company is introverted af and he meets a girl who is everything he isn’t [main girl was annoying as fuck but she gets better]
it’s okay, that’s love | the one i told you about on discord. famous novelist meets psychiatrist [i love how real this is?]  ♥ ♥
kill me, heal me | dude has 7 diff personalities (one’s a teenage fangirl). girl has to help him keep them under control [also a faaaav his acting is a plus]   ♥ ♥
my girl  | where it might’ve been incest but nah she’s just pretending to be his cousin dw
oh my venus | girl gets hot after getting cheated on and falls for her fitness instructor except like not revenge body but like she had health issues so i guess that’s okay [i stopped halfway but my mom liked it so there’s that]
oh my ghostess | virgin ghost possesses super introverted girl to help her seduce her boss (and hopefully get laid) [this was super cute and there’s a lot of food cuz they’re chefs so it’s win/win]  ♥ ♥
pinocchio | boy’s family dies and he gets adopted by some grandpa. girl is forced to call the boy her uncle, even if they’re the same age. she also hiccups when she lies and wants to be a reporter. [is that even incest lbr]  ♥

moonlight drawn by clouds | i lied, there is a girl-pretends-to-be-boy drama in 2017 [why do the girls always get the prince?]  ♥’
