#Camera Performance

Sometimes, the smartest move is sticking with what works

I’ve been reflecting on why I’m sticking with my trusted workhorse, the A7R III, rather than upgrading to the Sony A7R V. Sure, part of it is the commitment I’ve made with my Nauticam underwater housing—upgrading would set me back another 4,000 € on top of the new camera. But honestly, that’s not the main reason. While newer models might offer more features, when it comes to dynamic range, my top…

that’s a wrap!

It’s just like. We have Robby, the kid who grew up with no one. Whose only friends were two adult men who used him and turned violent the second he pushed back. Who slept on the couch while his addict mother brought home strings of random, strange men over and over again. Whose dad was never there at all. Who got drunk for the first time in his life and was sexually assaulted. And then we have Tory, the girl who watched her dad hurt her mom. Who bragged about needing to fend off creepy men with a spiked bracelet. Whose landlord tried to extort her for sex at 16 years old. Who has been repeatedly sexualized throughout the show. These are the kids who become karate influencers—not because of their skills, not because of any victories or trophies, but because they kissed on live television and people want to objectify them. Because they’re good looking kids and sex sells. That’s their happy ending. Trapped forever in the cycles of violence and abuse that have consumed their entire childhoods. What the fuck.

Emphasizing this again because I’ve seen some folks express confusion/disappointment: the lackluster sex scene in episode 7 was abrupt, short, and lacking in emotional resonance on purpose because Cir was still lying and Phu was feeling guilty and conflicted. It was not meant to be read as a great first time that indicated their deepening connection. It was a mistake and a signal that they are not actually where they should be in their relationship to be doing this, which is why there was immediate fallout in the form of Phu panicking and trying to end the relationship.

Sex scenes are just as much about character and story as any other part of a show (when they are done right). Sometimes they are not meant to be ultra hot and fulfilling, because they’re telling you something about a missing aspect in the relationship. And MAME is particularly attuned to how to use sex to demonstrate where the relationship stands. Phukan and Cirrus will have a better sex scene when they arrive at a more honest place with each other.

sometimes we see Oscar having do socmed alone and it's just so not his thing and he literally just… made guacamole while people watched

but then Lando's around !! and Oscah gets the chance to show off (in a way) athletically and he's a fucking peacock - I'm sure not at ALL affected by Lando spending time with gregarious Pato and Franco :))

and like !! Lando fully happily taking the supportive gf role with crying out 'Oscah!' and 'you've got this' and 'you've got more of the float than I did' 'he'd got the tekkers now' and immediately turning for Oscar's smile when he finally lands one

but the indulgent, familiar "where's this imaginary line then?" bc Lando ALWAYS makes the rules and Oscar ALWAYS acts long-suffering and it's just their little thing ok and it makes them smile into each other's soft faces !!

and ofc 'Oscah absolutely dom-in-at-ed' while Lando sticks his tits out and Oscar literally puffed up with pride and wearing the rings in celebration bc Lando knows you've gotta let alphas have their egos stroked (wink wink)

meanwhile Oscar's groaning and angrily slamming at the cacti and reacting with more intensity than any race in his life and getting all yappy and sassy

LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE PATHETIC LITERAL THIS ONE'S FOR U BABE IMMEDIATE FAILURE

and fucking kill me over how Lando immediately latches onto the joke and does that little expectant head lift and then they synchronize throwing their heads back to laugh fuck OFF

[lesbianchemicalplant]

it's always wild to me when people are like. not only comfortable in front of live cameras but spatially aware and coordinated to the point where they practically control how they look through the lens. and like, they're not glancing down to see how their jacket is sitting on them at a given moment....

is there ever like, a preview screen facing them so they can kind of see what the frame currently looks like? but even if there were it's not like you could stare at that

I like to think Leviathan Sam and Dean fucked nasty while drenched in the blood of their victims <3

[blatantprinterpropaganda]

it's not that i want to discourage them, because they ARE being very very sweet and they should get to have their private space together, but also. it's sort of delightfully foolish to be doing this immediately after po's best friend showed up at his place and rifled through all of his stuff because she was able to identify mars-related sleeves from a picture
