I hate it when actors talk about an animal they had to work with on set and it’s obvious they were not patient with the animal at all. You especially see this with non cat people who had to work with cats and are like “Working with that cat was the bane of my existence, never on cue, scratched me once, always seemed afraid of me.” Like yeah, she’s a cat. She could probably sense you hated her. It’s hard enough to be an animal in the entertainment industry without some guy being a dick to you. Are you that uncharitable with human costars (and particularly child actors) or do you just hate animals?

Conversely, it’s so heartwarming when an actor speaks positively about an animal they worked with and/or there are behind the scenes stories of the crew genuinely trying to make the animal comfortable and giving them grace.

One of my favorite examples of this is Mad Max 2 (1981) which was made on a budget of $4.5 million AUD (about $13.5 USD in today’s money). They ended up casting a dog from the pound that was scheduled to be put down and by all accounts the dog was a nightmare to work with. But most of the cast and crew loved him. The dog’s name was Dog so his character’s name was also Dog. He was difficult to train but super food motivated so they kept writing dog food into scenes for him. He kept freaking out on set and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Eventually they realized part of the reason he kept acting out was because he was terrified of the sound of cars and motorcycles so they had special doggy earplugs made. His character was supposed to be aggressive but real Dog was very affectionate and could not be made to behave aggressively so they had to use selective editing to make him seem more menacing. When filming was done multiple crew members wanted to adopt him because he was such a good bad boy. He was adopted by one of the stuntwomen and got to live out the rest of his life doing actual blue heeler things. That was his only film role.

"why don't trans women do any domestic labor" is right up there with "why do trans women never date each other" in terms of questions that show that you know nothing about trans women. except in this case the idea that trans women don't do domestic labor is instrumental in maintaining the social hierarchy that keeps trans women doing domestic labor. the idea that trans women are male-socialized and therefore predisposed to exploit the domestic labor of people who are female-socialized keeps trans women in the insecure position of having to prove themselves by taking on historically feminine domestic roles. the reification of economic feminist analysis into biological/socially-essential categories presents the perfect opportunity for tme partners & roommates to benefit from exactly the type of economic exploitation being criticized.

Sorry if I'm mixing you up with someone else, but you've worked security before, right?

If you're willing, I'd be really interested on your thoughts on the murderbot diaries or murderbot as a character with that in mind?

Like did you recognise aspects of your job in murderbots descriptions of security work? Or did they like throw you out of immersion in the story?

Anyway thanks and hope you're having a good day/evening wherever you are!

As a security guard who has read the first two Murderbot books, Murderbot has been the number one most realistic security specialist character I have ever seen in media so far 😭

The third most annoying thing in security in my experience is handling threats. The second most annoying thing is having no threats to handle and being bored. The number one most annoying thing is the client being an idiot

Ihave social anxiety which I am medicated for. When I am in uniform with clear instructions, that anxiety is zero. I have a script and a set of rules and that makes life easy. I’m super good at performing tasks with clear expectations and that’s kinda how I keep getting good offers, it’s super straightforward

Bad clients are clients who give stupid, inefficient, counterproductive, cruel, or flat-out illegal orders. There are ways of shutting that shit down without them losing heir shit, but it’s still a pain in the ass every time

I’m a security specialist. I specialize in security. This is what I am trained for- handling crisis situations and minimizing harm. If you, an off-shift cashier at pet smart, see me deescalating a situation and decide you’re gonna drop your untrained uninformed ass in there with zero context or skills and “help” because I look small and helpless, then all you’re doing is increasing my likelihood of getting hurt while increasing my paperwork load by like two hours, and I’m gonna hate you the entire time. What you have essentially done is promoted me to meat shield while giving the aggressor I’m calming down an obnoxious and aggravating hostage. Good god please do not

Yes, I am sometimes asked to stand perfectly still in a corner for several hours like a mannequin. What do I do to avoid going insane? Think about Star Trek and the very good fanfiction I’ll be reading on my break, mostly

Yes I can assist in evacuating tw location in the event of an environmental disaster. No I cannot tell my waiter that they put cilantro on the wrong order. Yes this makes perfect sense

I love Murderbot. I love how realistic it is. Like obviously I can’t speak for everyone in the industry but yeah I’ve worked for absolute dogshit security companies in the past and yeah a lot of the books so far are super accurate to that experience so A+ so far, honestly

the face wilson makes when he's actually right and he comes home to house cooking Italian food and folding his fucking laundry like a 1950s housewife on lethal doses of valium

La Terrerur oc idea I've been playing with is party girl who absolutely got herself an Akuma child to chase the trend. She's the worse tm because she's not even wealthy she's just a bourgeois clout chaser who has enough charisma to be invited to all the right parties. She excels at stroking rich men's egos, is paid well to keep secrets. Did not realize eldritch designer baby would kill wealthy sugar daddy to have and is desperately trying to raise peak pretty girl before she herself ages out of the sugarbaby range. Awful woman gaslight gatekeep girl boss bullshit.

Not now sweetie mr agreste is going to have mommy assassinated.

Waiting.

Pokemon Trainer Junko, to match with Mikan. Wanted to keep her as Junko as possible but make her fit in with the Pokemon universe. (The rose/ polkadot's on her bra was replace with pokeball motifs, pls care).

Monokuma is a Rotom, inspired by my conversations with @aparticularbandit. So I tried to take there designs and mash them together, and this is the best i got.

i know it's v popular to headcanon louis being a supportive rockstar boyfriend, and believe me I'm part of the problem, but i just can't imagine a world where louis has the energy after that season.

the sheer fact that daniel molloy is going to be brain-dialing louis at the drop of the hat when lestat loses his shit to the sixteenth round of mania. "louis help your boyfriend ate the PA" "louis how do i get him to stop crying" "louis he's covered in glitter and guts and sobbing your name, HELP ME MY MAN"

louis is gonna turn his vampire hearing aid off and knit a fucking sweater. he is so tired, and he needs a goddamn nap.

Personal shit but the more I work in security related fields like bouncing and surveillance and childminding and sex ed, stuff like that, the more I find myself compulsively intervening with situations I encounter in my off time and I’m beginning to feel like being the hypervigilant and paranoid parentified eldest child prepped me for this life like one of those retired service dogs that just keeps doing service dog stuff

Like not to pathologize shit cause my therapist told me not to but I genuinely do wonder if I’d be capable of surviving like. A white collar desk job. Or if I’d just lose my mind without a group to watch
