it's so cool having celebrity gossip or whatever you want to call it, but when kate beckinsale was staying in the hotel i worked in, she was there for probably 2-3 months and let me tell you she is quite messy and disgusting and she also had cats and dogs with her so it was all super nasty, i wasn't in charge of her suite so i didn't do much there, but my coworkers were and they worked so hard every day. do you think she left a tip? a single tip in all those 3 months? nope.
anyways having a show with an emotional focal point of friendship is healing my heart and once again shows me what i most often miss in current mainstream media
i love i got the music, it is Peak Kenny Ortega, you have really fun vocals from maddie, kenny finally cast a child that can rap so jada sounds cute and not cringey (*coughs in the direction of it’s going down*), the choreography and aesthetic is very hsm reminiscent but Polished Up A Bit, it’s just a perfect kenny song 10/10 no notes
In Episode 5, when the boys don't show up cause they're at Caleb's thing, so Julie cancels, and Carrie comes up on stage and takes the mic from Julie. Carrie doesn't use the mic at all, though, she just holds it and gestures with it. She took it purely for the purpose of the mic drop she does at the end.
mixed emotions about the writer strike. obviously I support it bc nobody should be replaced by AI, and it's especially important to ensure human artists are not replaced for corpos to save a quick buck, but also. the media that has been produced by these very writers the past few years has been garbage lmao
Listen homestuck is actually very good as long as you don't have the expectations if fandom tumblr clouding your judgement, it's an extremely stupid satire of teenage online behaviour in the 2010s delivered via an extremely stupid and complicated story made up of utterly random decisions chosen to fuel character conflict and shenanigans rather than be anything approaching a consistent story, my friend has been telling me all the lore about Minecraft streamers recently and I couldn't help but compare it to Homestuck because it's so absurdly similar in how convoluted and hard to follow it is, because it is a bunch of people playing a video game together and creating the "plot" through their interactions and what they want to do in the game. There are so many different perspectives to follow and each one will show you a different piece of the overarching story while also being a story in itself. Homestuck is absurdly similar, despite being a webcomic written by one person. Obviously with Homestuck it's hard to follow just one character's perspective and certain things are skipped over if nothing important is happening, but ultimately it's still just a bunch of teenagers playing a video game together with all of the chaos that involves. It still astounds me how well written the character interactions are, they're full of dumb bullshit and stupid jokes but also genuine conversations about identity and family and love and friendship and all the things that come along with that. All the things people talk about Homestuck being are in there, but if you go into it expecting it to start off that way or to not read thousands of pages of stupid jokes as well as that, you'll be disappointed.
Following on from Jessie's post, regarding Arthur and Nix, it's important to note that Arthur is not the danger to you. Nix suffers from a number of mental illnesses, yes, but she is not suffering from psychosis. She is of far more danger to you than her husband has ever and will ever be. She has done far, far, far more damage in her shorter life than Arthur ever will. Arthur's psychosis does not make him a danger, the danger in fact comes from those with antiquated ideas that psychotic=violence and evil. It does not. He is under threat due to these vile ideas born from plain ignorance; he is put in danger because of them. He is not the danger. Those who fail to make that distinction are the problem, not those who are ill. Embarrassing and out-dated 'he's a psycho' attitudes will land absolutely anyone on the unfriendly end of Nix's bowie knife. Why? Because psychosis has no bearing on whether someone is a threat to you and she's willing to prove it.
Mental illness does not dispel a person's humanity, they don't simply become a shitty trope because they're sick. In any way. Hollywood's often out-right ableist approach to mental illness, psychosis, has gotta die in Hollywood. A character, a person with psychosis remain exactly that. Not evil, not the bad guy for the good guy to 'get'. The notion is built on stigma and blatant ignorance.
