been obsessed lately w this postcanon hermie design of mine. no particular reason teehee 😁 wink wink

#gee i wonder why lumi could be thinking about postcanon hermie.... and being slow to post art this past week..... #i love drawing characters w nonhuman features #the way i think of postcanon hermie is that they stop feeling the need to use their shapeshifting as a mask and accept that theyre not human #regardless of whether or not they make amends w their dads. i at least want them to accept their real self #hermie the unworthy #hermie unworthy #hermie the unworthy fanart #hermie unworthy fanart #dungeons and daddies #dndads #dndads fanart #my art

so many people on that post about wishing to be rich so i could be insane in peace like "omg literally me" yes my loves it is all of us. thats sort of the point

#the point was not I Want Money #the point was rich people have access to resources that make it a lot easier to accommodate their needs #regardless of whether those needs are considered socially acceptable #they only call it a disorder if it causes disorder in your life!! well guess what makes it a lot easier to maintain order #even at times when your functioning is impaired

I desperately want someone to catch this man having a full blown breakdown, one similar to the end of season where he's spiralling and feeling out of control. Bonus points if they're stronger than him and refuse to leave even while he's lashing out to try and push them away >:3

#ooc || the birb speaks #hazbin hotel cw #I just love the idea of him so determined to destroy sentimentality or care for him #and all it does is make someone care MORE - regardless of whether he likes it or not #you're gonna accept help mfer even if someone has to drag you into their care kicking and screaming

Hey ! How are you ? I just saw a Video on Instagram and I wondered if what they say is true ?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvWDN3iMEQs/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I really hope it’s not true … ( and I hope that the link works lol )

This is 100% false so don’t worry about it!

I do sort of pity these influencer/podcast types, who give their audience the impression they are valuable sources for information, when it’s clear they’re just using speculation from fans, as opposed to actual verified sources. Them throwing out stuff like this should make people question consuming their content at all honestly. Because the whole 2027 date was thrown out on Twitter by a fan account that was merely exaggerating to get people talking, and has literally not come from anywhere else. Literally nowhere. Predictably the exaggeration spread to people who don’t know much about what’s going on and they treated it like verified information.

I do know that sometimes depending on the subject, it can be difficult to navigate information and know what is true and what isn’t.

But to say Stranger Things 5 isn’t going to start filming until 2027, is so ill-informed it’s hilarious. A claim like this implies the strike won’t end for another two years, which literally nobody is anticipating it to last that long, let alone even a year.

When it comes to Stranger Things specifically, the writer’s strike started in May, right before filming for ST5 was set to begin officially in June. And even despite the strike(s), for the last 3 months, set designers and the like have been working on preparing for filming with pre-production duties. So they have literally been ready to film for roughly two months now and are just using this time on hiatus to their advantage if anything, since they don’t have to worry about rushing bc filming is happening simultaneously like they usually do.

This means that whenever the strike ends officially, like for real, production for Stranger Things 5 is very likely going to be ready to start soon after that. Not the day of or even days after, but likely within weeks at most.

What it will really come down to is working out availability for the cast members since they have to organize a new schedule that aligns with the timetable they’re dealing with post strike, in contrast to what the original plan was.

The original timetable for ST5 filming was June 2023-June 2024. Let’s just say hypothetically the strike ends officially in mid September. In that case, filming for ST5 would likely start within weeks after that, some time in October. If that were to happen, filming would likely go from October 2023-October 2024, still giving them a year of filming like they originally planned before the strike(s).

For reference ST4 finished filming in September 2021 and premiered in May & July 2022. In the case filming would start in September/October, we’d likely be looking at another Summer release for the final season in 2025.

So, if you’re hoping for a 2024 release, don’t hold your breath. In fact just let that go because it’s not happening.

Once the strike is over it’ll be a matter of making sure everyone’s available and schedules align in areas that are necessary. Making sure actors that have scenes together are on set at the same time is going to be a top priority, as well as just the main cast in general aligning their availability with their other potential projects outside of ST (like David who was also going to be filming Thunderbolts simultaneously with ST in Atlanta), so that it works for everyone and can be done in a timely manner. Then making sure supporting actors fit into that as well despite them having less screen time, aligning with each other is important.

I’m optimistic things could end sooner than we were anticipating, like I know some people were saying the strikes could go until January next year. Even now though I still don’t really want to fully get my hopes up because negotiations could continue for weeks upon months if the guilds and studios are still far apart.

Let’s just continue to keep a close eye on what’s going on before getting ahead of ourselves one way or another.

But for some good news, the AMPTP (the studios) have reached out to the WGA to meet on Friday officially for negotiations again. They have not met since before the strike began in May so this is very good news. That alone should be a good sign that the strike is very very unlikely to last another 2 years, so you can just ignore that 2027 rumor, it is baseless!

#byler #stranger things #st writers #PAY YOUR WRITERS #PAY YOUR ACTORS #tbh I’m chilling until October #if filming can start by then I’m all good #tbh I think at this point we’re dealing with a summer 2025 release regardless of if the strike ends tomorrow or in October #bc Netflix loves their summer releases #I just can’t see them doing a spring 2025 release #who knows tho. #but if the strike goes past october #and even further #there’s a possibility that could push st5 to fall 2025 and i really don’t think Netflix wants that either #so a deal sooner than later benefits everyone whether the studios want to fully accept that or not yet #progress has been made though at least

i think you took that person's tags in very good faith but i do get highkey annoyed with the current advice trend of "don't write for an audience, write for yourself" because like, that's advice that can be helpful if art is something you're doing as a hobby or a matter of self expression, but if you're at all serious about art you absolutely need to be aware of audience expectations and be thinking about ways to improve. the "good enough" mindset bugs me so much because it also seems to go hand in hand with anti intellectualism disguised as anti elitism and like, no, i don't have to treat self indulgent reylo coffee shop romance as a serious work of literary merit and i shouldn't have to!!

i took it in good faith because I cannot make a point about bad-faith as assumed default if I am not treating the initial idea sincerely! but yeah i did think it was a little stupid lmao. the antidote to being afraid of criticism isn't to ignore your audience entirely. the antidote is learning how to actually deal with criticism and how to be a more aware and intelligent artist. you are not entitled to have everyone take your shit seriously lmao!!!!!

#narrates #ur not entitled to have people blowing smoke up your ass forever. if its just for u then you HAVE to commit #which means committing to not caring if people do not like it #you literally cannot have one or the other. either you care about the audience or you don't #and if you don't care for them then you have to accept that your art will likely not be treated as serious literary merit #which is fine. like whatever. you have audience responsibility regardless but at least #you can free yourself from giving a shit about whether or not you are liked

I’ve forgotten how to interact with fandom spaces or any kind of online community for that matter like I’ve just been doing my own thing for years now. Talking how I want to talk enjoying what I want having my own thoughts and judgements and curating my own online space. Happiest I’ve ever been. Who the fuck cares what anybody on here thinks of you. It doesn’t matter it never mattered I hate writing about pages and DNIs and BYFs and going along with what the rest of Tumblr believed or deemed right or not. Nothing makes me feel crazier than pretending to be someone I’m not and I’ve long accepted that I’m not what I’m expected to be on here. I’ve accepted my beliefs have completely changed over the last year, that they are capable of changing and they’re not exactly what people want to hear. Maybe they’ll change their mind like I did or stay the same, that’s not my life to live. Genuinely just do whatever the fuck you want man. Fuck that character. Watch those shows. Do whatever brings you peace because life is too short and too precious to sweat about it. Surround yourself with honest people and be open-minded most importantly. Change is good and I always am.

#i’ve mentioned it a couple times but my dad died in november #2023 gave me a lot to think about during those final months with him #changed me into a completely different person in every sense of the word #<- detransitioned after 9 years #I met ch.airface when his health started to really decline and honest to god I’ve never been more vulnerable or exposed or shameless #like I have been with him. whatever it takes to make you happy you just have to take that leap and just fucking do it #regardless of what people think or whether or not it’s deemed acceptable or not the way your brain copes with something so horrific #anyway my point is I have more important things to do than care for the way strangers on the internet perceive me #and I wish/hope more people adopt this mentality and take me as I am #sorry this post might be a mess I kept adding onto it 😵‍💫

the talking point that everyone can do art annoys me so bad

#'yea you have aphantasia/etc. but you *too* can do art if you try :) :) :)' shut uppppp #tbc this isn't about the positivity posts for artists that feel bad about their art this about the posts directed towards nonartists #it's so goddamn patronising like imagine if someone wanted to play cello but couldn't bc they have a disorder #-that idk makes it so it's basically impossible for them to keep in tune #like if they're having fun with it anyway good! it's good that they're enjoying themselves! #but if they're going like [listening to a performance of a brahms cello sonata] 'gods I wish I could play cello like that' #saying 'you can! music is for everyone' #is fuckin condescending and missing the point isn't it #my rambles #like yes it's good to break down the standards for what is and isn't art and art doesn't need to be something you're good at #but even aside from the aphantasia I do not enjoy the process of making visual art #and regardless of whether what I make is art well this just isn't the type of thing I fuckin want to make is it #add back in the Disorders and. well I just straight up fucking can't alright jesus #just accept that I *cannot* and leave it at that is it that goddamn hard #vent

something something about how the rings not just symbolised Yuuri and Victor's bond and was not just an omamori for them something something Victor was the first person Yuuri wanted to hold on to and share his dreams with and depend on after fighting for so long ALONE something something the rings symbolising this exact same thing something something about how Yuuri's arc still is wonderful even when he didn't win the gold because he finally learnt to actually depend on people, share his dreams and aims with them and not fight alone which is something he struggles with for the whole show

#yuri on ice /// #I am not sure about how to intrepret the whole of yuuri's arc but that's purely because I've watched the show only once #It always felt a bit off to me when the whole winning gold was a bit rushed in the last episode #And of course you could blame that on the pacing and you could say that there was flaws in the writing/the writers got confused #I've seen multiple posts about it and while I personally disagree I do think it is a valid interpretation #But I want to work with what DID happen in canon so I can be at peace with the episode lol #I choose to intrepret his arc as being one where he learns to not beat himself up over his failures (In lack of a better way to phrase it) #His anxiety plays a huge factor in it too though #One could argue that maybe winning gold would've given him that final push in believing that he is in fact extraordinary and not just #A dime a dozen skater (and I think that would have been wonderful too!) #And yeah they could have made him win gold AND have him not retire! But I don't think what we got in canon is inherently bad writing #(I mean excluding the scoring which from what I hear was inaccurate? But it doesn't bother me because Idk anything about scoring lmao) #Or maybe it's because this is a lesson I personally am struggling to learn and accept - that regardless of whether you win or not you #can and should strive to be better and better without losing hope #also a bit related to this but to me the emotional climax in the finale was actually Yuuri's free skate and him breaking the record #It was what further cemented my #thoughts about Yuuri's arc being about him and his need to be satisfied with his skating regardless of winning or losing #also fyi the takes I talked about aren't inherently ones I came across lol I just was thinking of various counter points #The whole reason I am writing this si because I want to understand this whole thing myself gdishsjshdh so writing it down seems like a good #thing #n rambles #Also hopefully this post doesn't show up in tags djsbdjbdjd

Idk how many of y'all watch Good Mythical Morning but I just want to say that as a gnc person it makes me so happy to see Chase get to dress however he wants and have it just be normal. The crop top he always wears during international food taste tests isn't treated as weird, that's just his cartographer shirt, and it's become such a signature look that other people have to wear it while filling in for him. He plays a few female characters that wear dresses, but the fact that he's playing a woman or wearing a dress is never treated like a joke. The actual joke is that the character he's playing is a fancy dancing cow or an alternate universe version of Little Debbie named Giant Deborah who can teleport across dimensions if you chant for her. The dress is just part of the character, and Chase just happens to be comfortable wearing dresses and really good at playing funny characters. Idk, it just makes me feel really happy to see another gnc person out there thriving and living their best life. I've always been hesitant about being out as nonbinary at work bc I didn't think it would be possible for people to just treat it like a normal thing, and recently I've been worried that once I graduate college and go on to more "professional" work my future employers may see my gender nonconformity as unprofessional, which scares me bc it's not even possible for me to conform to any gender expectations anymore. But. Here on one of my favorite YouTube channels there's a gnc person who gets to dress however they want for their job, even having roles where their gender nonconformity is important to the videos, and it's just treated like the most normal thing in the world. If that's possible then maybe the idea of finding a research job that will respect me isn't so far fetched

#good mythical morning #rambling #idk i just get emotional sometimes #as someone whos worried that even gender nonconformity would be viewed as unprofessional in my future field and frowned upon #regardless of whether i would be interacting with the public #seeing someone whos able to be as gnc as they want at a job where theyre being FILMED for the public and posted to an audience #really does kinda give me hope that i can find acceptance one day #its really cool that stevie presents in a gnc way too sometimes but shes not on camera as much #but idk. it just makes me feel happy #im watching the international foods taste test they posted today and chase is wearing an even shorter crop top under his cartographer shirt #and i was just like HELL yeah you GO king!! #as someone whos been watching the show for a long time and has also seen a lot of old episodes from before i started watching #i like seeing how much more confident chase is now that he dresses how he wants to as well #in a lot of the old videos he dressed very much like a stereotypical straight boy and he seemed a lot more shy and timid back then #now you can just tell how happy he is. he seems so confident in himself and he contributes so much to the show now #idk. i want that one day. i hope i can find a stable career where I'll be accepted for who i am #instead of having to pretend to be something else or worry about what people are thinking of me if i dont #my job now is definitely better than some of my old ones but i still dont really know what people think of me now that im somewhat out #and spending 40 hours a week walking on egg shells with your own damn existence isnt fun :( but. maybe its not forever. i hope

Putting vaspider on my dash I don’t love. Quoting vaspider on fucking cripplepunk??? Absolutely fucking not. Pls have a tiny shred of self awareness. Whether or not u agree with vaspider u should in fact be able to understand that what they said about tai was not acceptable. End of story.

The fact that some of u are apparently so much more concerned with siding with someone because they agree with ur views to the point tagt u fail to call them out for what is in fact unacceptable behaviour is seriously concerning to me.

#ceci says stuff #I dont agrée w his opinions i never Will #but what’s more important is the really shitty stuff he said #I’m not trying to say ouhhh this person must be unilaterally blocked and shunned and run off tumblr !!! #I’m saying regardless of whether u agree w his views u should be critical of his comments regarding tai because they were not acceptable

[transfemstarscream]

i’m going to be honest in that i prefer “outdated” but well-meaning understandings of trans women in any of the things i read and watch. is a trans woman being described as “trapped in a man’s body” outdated? is her being portrayed with more broad features a little on-the-nose? is her relationship with a man being played up for drama stereotypical? yes to all of that—but i will always prefer it over some one-dimensional, depthless depiction of a trans woman who is overbearingly hyperfeminine and has apparently transitioned at such a young age that it’s “not even noticeable she’s trans!”

#.txt #i wish i remembered the name of this thing (i don’t remember if it was a movie or episode of a show); #but it was a trans woman who told her male lover she wanted to wait until she got srs for them to be married; #and he was very confused and had a hard time accepting her… but he genuinely loved her and accepted her regardless of whether she got it. #and like. it’s not portrayed the best. but it’s well-meaning and earnest in its effort to understand her. #and like! i like that. i relate to that. it’s genuine. it makes me tear up a little. #ask2tag

I just really hope that 2023 will be kind for all of us. It's what we deserve, and I hope you won't forget that.

#i'm having a lot of feelings that i can't really describe about this past year #i've been feeling really insecure and it's quite hard to think about all of the good things that also happened #i've passed almost every uni course! #i've travelled with some of my dearest friends whom i'm so happy to even call them that! #i saw new places that were so kind and accepting! #i've read amazing books and started doing this a new book club as well! #i've seen some amazing concerts and musicals and i'm so glad i can share these experiences with people #i've played dnd irl and have grown more comfortable in playing it! #i'm also so happy to be part of my local queer association and to have found some really dear friends there #and that i've grown in the ways in which i can express myself creatively #even when i haven't done this a lot #i really hope to be able to enjoy more moments like these in 2023 and to not be so afraid of the future #and i really hope this will happen to you too #i hope you'll have a nice evening regardless of whether you're gonna celebrate the new year or not #i love you <3 #natasja's babbling

I don’t know why adult x child shippers do that, and I’m not here to lecture anyone because it doesn’t really do anything imo, but can y’all at least properly tag your smut on ao3 with that rape/non-con tag? It’s not hard to just click that little button guys.

#this is mostly about encanto since it’s the only fandom I’m really IN in #but man if ur gonna turn a beloved disney character into a rapist at least own that shit and tag accordingly #ik some of those shippers will age the child character up to more acceptable age this isn’t about them #(though I will say for the record writing incest in a positive light is not cool in this house) #(regardless of whether the characters are both consenting or not)

Why, as a graduate of history who really should know better, am I always surprised when I finish a novel and go read some analysis of it only to end up saying, “Hang on, people think that character might have been an unreliable narrator???”

#I expect lies in historical sources but there's something about fictions that lulls me into a false sense of security #Lies? In my Victorian literature? It's more likely than you think #Note this does not mean I LIKE said characters #Frequently I'm thinking 'Wow they're an ass' as I read them #But unless they're evidently villainous I still tend to just accept them at their word #The Woman in White #I'm still not of the opinion that Walter is seriously lying but certainly they make a point about his point of view #At least with Wuthering Heights I clocked that Nellie had her own opinions pretty early on but still #Reading people's views on unreliable narration undeniably improves my enjoyment of the text though #Regardless of whether I agree or disagree #Especially re: Wuthering Heights by the way because although I do not agree with the idea that Nellie is the true villain of the piece #I adore her as a very complex character and I think it's mildly hilarious (and heartbreaking) #that she's sitting there being like 'Yeah Heathcliffe and Cathy and Hindley really became very strange people; I turned out fine tho' #Like hen darling sweetheart you are also very much Not Ok #The unreliable narration just makes the whole book all the more fascinating #But I'm getting off topic #Anyway I'd be a terrible literary critic not because I don't see very minor themes that other people might have overlooked #But the things that everyone else saw straight away and thought were obvious? They go straight over my head #reading log
