#not naming names but....... screw it

I think on this fine Saturday afternoon it's a good opportunity to take a breather and remember that there are really no ethical paparazzi pictures. Every single one is inherently exploitative.
Just because photos were taken on a movie set, when someone is 'working,' does not make the practice any less invasive and creepy. Imagine just going about your day, doing your job and having some weirdo snapping pictures of you to sell without your consent for others to endlessly repost online.
There are thousands of pictures of your favourite actor online already. Plenty taken with his knowledge and consent. I'd really like to see more of them on my dash, rather than the creeper shots.
And don't get me started how disseminating these pictures directly leads to people going to said sets. What starts off as admiring how good someone looks has real world implications.
No, hanging around a movie set and disrupting people doing their jobs is not harmless fun or a way to show your appreciation.
If you hang around a movie set, you are a stalker.
Don't tell me that it's okay to take your online admiration for someone offline. You may admire him but he does not, and will never, personally know you. He will never be your friend/boyfriend/daddy. He is a stranger.
The only way meeting your favourite actor is going to happen is at a convention or maaaaaybe a movie premiere if you're incredibly fortunate. You know, places they appear specifically to meet fans (or not in the case of premieres, where the purpose is to promote a movie. Which is also completely understandable if actors don't stop. You are not owed an interaction).
Of course, you cannot help it if you randomly run into someone you admire in the wild. Even then, consider that they probably won't be all too thrilled to be approached in public by a complete stranger. It's up to you to gauge the situation, but remember there is a person at the heart of all of this.
Boundaries and respect are a kindness which deserves to be extended to each and every human being regardless of their looks/talent/fame/wealth.
Fandoms blur those lines a little too often for my liking and I think just scrutinising what you're interacting with, or what behaviour you could be possibly falling down that slippery slope towards is nice to do every once in a while.
I mean no malice with this post and it is not directed at anyone in particular. It's something I cannot help but feel strongly about because I've seen this destructive cycle time and again in fandoms over the years. It's not healthy and it makes us all a little bit more disconnected from our humanity for it...
#not naming names but....... screw it#pedro pascal#pedro pascal fandom#accepting you will never interact with or meet this man will set you free from misery and jealousy i promise#he's great! if you think he's great watch another movie! write about a character! edit some photos of him! make gifs!#there are many MANY ways to engage with his work which don't include reposting creepy invasive photos taken without his consent#it's bs that this is just 'part of the job' because WHY... why should it be any different than any other job??#i know we always venerate talent and put people on pedestals.... that's a tale as old as time#but seeing him blow up last year was wild to witness and some of the behaviour from newer fans is very disheartening to see#he's just a human who poops and farts and is a dick sometimes like the rest of us. let's not treat him like a god thanks#spud rants#a lot LOL#i've bottled this up for a bit because the way this developed in real time to people actually going to the set is. what#and don't 'if pedro was in your city' because NO??? i wouldn't STALK SOMEONE? there's 0 justification for it#i have far better things to do than stalk people#i may be an autistic flop but i'm not a CREEPY STALKER autistic flop thanks x#anyway like i said this is truly not @ anyone in particular and i don't think you are a terrible person if you interacted with the photos#but please just remember there is a person at the heart of all this#a very talented and attractive person yes... but a person all the same#i would truly hate to be famous it gives me so much anxiety just the thought of the constant scrutiny#good thing i never will be LOL#fandom wank#discourse

I had a cute little thought of what pet names Jazz and Sabine might call each other and decided to spend some time today throwing it together.
If you like the content I make, tips are always welcome on my Ko-fi!

The absolute best ship dynamic of all time is 'Normal ass man, just your everyday Walmart shopper, has as much charisma as a wet paper bag' x 'Incredibly interesting psychotic manic twink with homicidal impulses and a god complex' and somehow the latter is the one who thinks the former is the most attractive fascinating sexy person on Earth.

Anniversary
Tumblr media
Tumblr says I started this thing four years and a day or two ago. I did it purely to bug @lostmypotatoes after I saw a dub of one of her comics, and she was kind enough to tell me about AO3, and then a lot of stuff happened.
I don't know why I'm making this post. I have nothing new to say. I just scrolled through some of my favorite arts and I landed on this one. The next video has been nearly done for over a year now, but I was busy and every attempt to get Sans' poses drawn has failed. Anyone with some time on their hands who's willing to brave a possible curse in exchange for commission $$, hmu

Hear me out:
Fae!Soap and Superstitious Bastard!Ghost.
Soap is of the Fae and what better place to have a casual disregard for human life than in the military? He enjoys what he does and God knows he's good at it. He skates comfortably under the radar, charming all those around him and facing almost 0 consequences for any of his actions until he runs into The Ghost; a man he's heard about and looks forward to picking apart, just to learn how he ticks. But Ghost isn't susceptible to his charm.
Ghost has gutted himself of sentimentality and emotion, for the most part. He allows himself a few harmless attachments: a specific brand of cigarettes, his bourbon, a book or two, and a small, iron, knot pendant given to him by his mother. It stays around his neck almost 24/7, one of the few presents from her that he'd managed to hide from his father's sadistic destruction.
John MacTavish, as he calls himself (his given name is closer to a description of the feeling evoked by a patch of small pink flowers in a splash of sun on a rocky cliffside, in a language that would make a human's ear drums bleed), is nothing if not fond of an enigma. So is it any wonder he finds himself spending more and more time around Ghost? Laying on actual charm and genuinely showing his personality for the first time in a long long time, delighted as The Ghost begins to reciprocate with a genuine blunt nature and twisted dark wit. He even allows himself a few touches though his skin is marred with ugly burns if the contact persists too long.
Ghost notices that Johnny is odd about a good number of things. Names, clothing, food, and jewelry to name a few. He observes a hard glint in his Sergeant's eye whenever he's handed a dossier on a target, caressing the name at the top of the page with a fiery gaze. Soap also doesn't eat much in front of people, he'll get food and move it around before he feigns taking it back to his room only to dispose of it once out of sight. One day Ghost had been in a particularly irritable mood from a discomfort he couldn't quite pin down but he spent the morning seeing Johnny's back disappearing around corners which only worsened his black mood. After lunch, preparing to let out his anger with a good workout he'd discovered his left sock had been inside out the whole day and swiftly after remedying that Johnny had appeared and not left his side for the rest of the day. (He'd credited it to his mood improving enough to not lower the temperature of whatever room he was occupying.) All these odd things are simply brush strokes on the canvas that makes up one John MacTavish in his mind. At least that's what he thought until Las Almas.
