Acceptance Speech for BEST DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE - DAVID TENNANT - LITVINENKO
David: Hello. Welcome to backstage at the Domar Warehouse. I just stepped out of rehearsals for a second because I want to say thank you so much for this award. Litvinenko was such a very special project to be part of. It meant so much to all of us who were involved in telling Sasha Litvinenko's story. It wasn't just another job. We were telling the story of an extraordinary man and his extraordinary family. It was an honour to portray him. And it means so much to have it recognized in this way. Marina Litvinenko and Anatoly, her son, were extraordinary human beings to get to know. And to be entrusted with their story is something that I will be forever proud of. So this means a great deal. So thank you to everyone who voted and thank you to I Talk Telly. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
We don't have an acceptance speech but Good Omens won in the BEST RETURNING DRAMA category! :)
don't use "ftm" it's outdated and offensive. it implies that the trans person was their agab, which we never were. i was always a boy, never a girl who became a boy.
i'm 35 years old. i've been IDing as trans or something similar to trans for nearly 20 years. i was probably calling myself FTM while you were playing tag during recess, anon.
i WAS a girl. i IDed as a girl early in my life. i recognized myself as a girl, called myself a girl, lived as a girl, and was a girl. who then IDed as a man. hence, F t M.
spend more time worrying about yourself instead of strangers on the internet, anon.
sorry not sorry if this comes off as needlessly hostile, but i've been getting a lot of shit from a lot of teenage trans kids about the language i use to describe my own goddamn experience, and i'm growing real fuckin weary of it.
i have elder trans friends who call themselves transsexuals and transvestites and trannies. are you going to seriously go to a 60-year-old trans person who survived the reagan years and tell her she's not allowed to use certain language to describe herself because it might offend the delicate sensibilities of some teenager on the internet?
do yourself a favor and log off, find some real-life trans people who are over the age of 20 or 25, and spend time talking to them instead of getting all holier-than-thou at random strangers on tumblr.
my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant person wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and they want to call it a baby it’s a baby. if they're 20 weeks and they want to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if they're 39 weeks and call it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was their baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.
In the first couple of episodes, I thought it was strange that Olu wasn't shown to be missing Jim. In season 1, he was very sad when Jim decided to stay in St. Augustine. And they were so happy and immediately hooked up when Jim went back to the Revenge at the end of S1.
It felt weird to me that we didn't see any of Olu's feelings about being separated from Jim or worrying about them at the beginning of season 2. (I have the same complaint about not showing Black Pete missing Lucius)
I just wanted a little Jim/Olu pining at the beginning of S2.
And where has their screen time gone?! I feel like we're barely seeing them later in this season.
I do think Olu/Zheng Yi Sao are cute together. Did we need it though? I'm not convinced.
The Olu/Jim relationship had such great build up in S1. They have been really side-lined in S2. And what there has been for them has been very clunky. I'm not loving it.
Love the idea of the polycule for them but have not enjoyed the execution of bringing it to life.
Also, who the fuck is Archie? I know nothing about her still!
Ok if you're a OluZheng truther do NOT read this because I WILL trash on your truth sorry not sorry
Also spoilers for S2 of ofmd!!!
Okay so we all know that TealOranges was THE side ship of the summer last season, and we can see through the dancing scene that they might be moving out into poly with Archie in the mix (which I LOVE). But things are getting a little confusing into episodes 6&7 for me.
We know that Zheng has a crush on Olu, that is glaringly obvious. But why are we moving into Zheng X Olu territory? Where did that come from?
Despite the fact that the only thing that may have warranted a crush on Olu's part is one nice thing that Zheng said, the moves Z are making on him are downright horrendous. The fact that he was forced to negotiate for his friend's lives while she was flirting with him was cruel and I don't see how a relationship blossomed out of that.
Then in episode 6 or 7 Jim says to Zheng to talk to Olu, which I interpreted to mean that he would explain that he did not have feelings for her and we would all move on. But.... He's going on her ship?!?! (Well..... Not anymore 🙊) and even Jim seems confused by this, as seen in their facial expressions. And being the perfect partners they are, Arch and Jim agree to go too, meaning that either TealOranges can no longer be a thing and ArchiexJim and ZhengOlu are the couples, or they're ALL poly together, which I don't see happening because Jim has never expressed liking Zheng and Arch had never met her. (I just don't see why he would go on the ship with her, continuing to stay in the relationship with Jim and Arch. There's a possibility he hinges between the two, but I can't see the likelihood.)
I just don't like the way that Zheng was thrown into the mix randomly and we're expected to root for her relationship despite the fact that she a) tried to kill everyone, b) low-key emotionally manipulated Olu, and c) has an interesting character, but why would we pick her over Jim, whose Nan he met, and whose past he shared?
Ending my Ted talk, I want ArchiexJimxOlu to be canon and Zheng to sail off and conquer some other part of Asia and not bother us again. Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I will take conversations.
someone gimme that gif of jim with archie on one side and olu on the other, all three bedecked in garlic necklaces, grasping hands, encircled by salt - jim really said “oh there’s a curse?? fuck everyone, save the polycule!!” 😂
