went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, then stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."

Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

hey hi it’s me, so i’m a huge fan of taylor swift (half of my themes have been about her albums, etc), and if you guys saw recently you know she bought her masters back.

i’ve seen a lot of people on the internet who claim that scooter, whose response has been “i’m happy for her” did a legal transaction and fans of taylor swift shouldn’t be upset that he owned them. so, let’s clear this up: taylor had tried to buy her masters back. but she was effectively screwed over from doing so. here’s why.

it has to be noted first and foremost: she didn’t support scooter prior to him owning her masters. she has publicly called him a bully, including a photo she had used in her tumblr post discussing the sale in 2019 with a photo of scooter braun, kayne west and justin bieber, with justin using the caption “taylor swift what up”. she pointed to this as taylor getting bullied by braun in “the lowest point of her life.”

but, every person who knew she didn’t want anyone - most of all him - owning her music had millions of reasons to forget those conversations. so, when scooter’s company (ithica holdings) purchased big machine label group, it meant scooter owned it.

and this isn’t to say that taylor previously hadn’t attempted to buy her records back. she had. however, the deal she was given was she could “earn” them back, she’d get one in return for every album put out - for example, if she had accepted this deal: when the tortured poets department got released, this deal says she would’ve been able to get one album back for the release.

so to every person online saying the deal itself was legal - 100% it was. but it being legal doesn’t make it ethically right.

biggest hear me out: i hope sydney does take the job offer. i hope she leaves the bear for at least part of season four.

here’s why: i think this opens the door for carmen to do some much needed self reflection without it having to come from anyone else. he needs to realize why she left - or rather think about why.

this also opens the door for needed communication between the two. they need to have a conversation like the table scene again where they get everything out in the open - what happened when carmen was with claire and how he pushed sydney aside. season 3. all of it.

as well, this gives the season the opportunity for sydcarm - if the writers go in that direction, that is. this allows for carmen or sydney to realize their feelings for one another without it being too forced?? cause i think without the job offer, there’s really no way i can imagine them putting the two together in an environment like the bear. idk. maybe that’s just me.
