"Good" Acting
i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill
#also a lot of female actors don't get recognised despite being fucking GOOD#that's not to say minority actors can't always be bad#of course we can#I'm just saying#sometimes#for SOME shows in particular#ahem ahem#some actors might get very heavily criticised for reasons that have very little to do with their actual technical skill#and more to do with the politics of those criticising them#also I'm not talking about me here#before anyone says that#I'm talking about some actors I know who have recently been criticised in my opinion quite unfairly#despite doing something very difficult#like oooohhh i dunno#playing two roles in the same show?#and doing it very well#displaying some amazing technical mastery of body and voice technique#but hey what do I know#oh wait I went to drama school and I'm a professional actor lol I DO know#I'm just a woman so I have to couch my expertise in cutesy self-deprecation lest people think I'm a bitch

Hear me out: Logan had cuteness aggression with Wade.


I mean, come on! Just look at him. How could anyone not want to smush his face between their palms and shake violently.
But I don’t think Logan has the same cuteness aggression like other people. You know how it goes, you see a cute dog or cat or some animal and start to baby-talk and pet and cuddle them. (Aka Wade with Puppins) Or maybe you’ll bend to the creatures every whim and give that animal/pet an extra treat because ‘they’re such a good boy!!!!!’
Logan? Nah. No way in hell. His cuteness aggression is literal aggression. He’ll straight up see Wade make a face like this:


And just. Bite. Grip. HERE ME OUT
When they’re dancing around each other and then just freshly dating. Logan’s hands are to himself. Gentle, light touches like Wade is a fragile little thing. But then as things start to pick up and they start to learn each other’s boundaries and such- he’s going fucking feral.
I imagine Wade doing something stupid or purposefully annoying and then just does a slight expression that makes Logan’s heart ache. Or when the light catches just so on Wade’s pocked features and illuminates perfectly.
What else can Logan do but bite and grip.
I Imagine him just gripping Wade’s shoulder tightly and sinking his teeth in. Maybe even shaking him about a little. And at first Wade’s like ‘What the fuck peanut? Did I do something wrong 😑’ But then he learns why Logan does it and then is all like ‘OMFG YOU A PUPPY :D’ or ‘MARK ME UP BIG BOY’
Maybe in the wee hours of the morning or night Logan with just straight up lick Wade’s neck. Not even in a sexual way, just like a cat lick or something. I really like the idea of Logan being a feral hybrid man who for once in his life can truly be himself without restriction, restraint or judgement. Because honestly, Wade’s just as manic and feral.

Sosiel Vaenic said All my friends are gorgeous, actually, and we love him for it.
#Queen in mendev#Sosiel Vaenic#wotr#Arueshalae#lann#Seelah#no wonder lann and Seelah are friends they both deflect compliments with self deprecating humor#the lann one made me laugh bc#a) good thing I did t get that in Trinne’s run she would have smacked him up the back of the head and/or shaken him by the shoulders#and yelled about how he’s one of the handsomest men she’s ever met#b) when I was talking with scribe about Trinne’s run that naturally included talking about lann and when I showed her his in game portrait#the first words out of her mouth were “oh he’s CUTE’’#it’s good I got this now bc I really wanna romance him next#and I was getting tempted to do my vikkarue rerun or the angel path lannmance when ret’s done#so the reminder of what a sweetheart Sosiel is was well timed xD

i used to think i was dead. like the real me died when i was 4 and im just the leftover scraps of that little girl who died. like i'm a corpse that's sewn itself back together. like every my whole life has been as a direct result of violence
sometimes i still feel that. i mourn the little girl i was, and i mourn the woman she could've become if she hadn't become me. i mourn the life he stole from me
#does this make sense#something something abuse is my earliest memory so i don't remember a life before trauma#nydias post#nydia vents#csa vent#tw cocsa#cocsa survivor#cocsa vent#csa survivor#tw csa vent#sa survivor#i used to think like this when i was like 13/14#back then i was much more self deprecating. i hated myself for not being Her#now i mourn her while i honour myself. and i mourn for both of us#for what could've been and what was. i mourn for all the me's

THG - Chapter 2
His mother was yelling, “Feed it to the pig, you stupid creature! Why not? No one decent will buy burned bread!”
THG - Chapter 7
"But you won't! You'll be living up in some tree eating raw squirrels and picking off people with arrows. You know what my mother said to me when she came to say good-bye, as if to cheer me up, she says maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn't mean me, she meant you!" bursts out Peeta.
"Oh, she meant you," I say with a wave of dismissal.
"She said, 'She's a survivor, that one. She is,” says Peeta.
That pulls me up short. Did his mother really say that about me? Did she rate me over her son? I see the pain in Peeta's eyes and know he isn't lying.
THG - Chapter 10
"But you're not," I say. "None of us are. That's how the Games work."
"Okay, but within that framework, there's still you, there's still me," he insists. "Don't you see?"
"A little. Only ... no offense, but who cares, Peeta?" I sav.
"I do. I mean, what else am I allowed to care about at this point?" he asks angrily. He's locked those blue eyes on mine now, demanding an answer.
I take a step back. "Care about what Haymitch said. About staying alive."
Peeta smiles at me, sad and mocking. "Okay. Thanks for the tip, sweetheart."
THG - Chapter 20
“Of course, I’m not going. Give me some credit. Do you think I’m running straight into some free-for-all against Cato and Clove and Thresh? Don’t be stupid,” I say, helping him back to bed. “I’ll let them fight it out, we’ll see who’s in the sky tomorrow night and work out a plan from there.”
“You’re such a bad liar, Katniss. I don’t know how you’ve survived this long.” He begins to mimic me. “I knew that goat would be a little gold mine. You’re a little cooler though. Of course, I’m not going.” He shakes his head. “Never gamble at cards. You’ll lose your last coin,” he says.
THG - Chapter 22
“And don’t try. Obviously I’m too dim to get it,” he says.
CF - Chapter 3
“Then I made things worse, too. By giving the money,” says Peeta. Suddenly he strikes out at a lamp that sits precariously on a crate and knocks it across the room, where it shatters against the floor. “This has to stop. Right now. This — this — game you two play, where you tell each other secrets but keep them from me like I’m too inconsequential or stupid or weak to handle them.”
#peeta mellark#I don’t think anyone likes to be called stupid#so maybe this is me overthinking#but Peeta has a reaction to the word and implication#haymitch calls his humor self deprecating#there is a power in poking fun at yourself or saying a thing before it can be said of you#tw child abuse#tw verbal abuse#cw abuse#Mrs mellark#katniss everdeen#thg#the hunger games#catching fire#this has been in the drafts since Dec 2023#I really thought I was going to do something with it#but I think y’all get what I’m saying here

again, can i just say that it's genuinely been wonderful and heartwarming and amazing and vindicating and spectacular seeing the rest of the world (well. my world) care about these cartoon characters that i have dedicated the past half decade+ of my life to. Daffy and Porky are genuinely one of the most important things to me in my entire life, and i do have many convoluted explanations for this that make it sound less pathetic and terminally online than it sounds i PROMISE. but it's just genuinely really wonderful seeing people care about them or discover them or have their curiosity piqued about them. i act like i made them myself here, but i genuinely have been waiting so many years for this moment, and i also think that's a huge reason why i'm just so gung-ho on being their cheerleader and being as loud and proud about this film and the hard work that went into it as i can. i keep joking about how ridiculous this analogy is because these guys are a median of 65 years older than i am, but i genuinely feel like an obnoxious soccer or PTA mom showing off pictures of her kid on her iphone to you, and you really just wish she would shut up, and the only way to do that is to humor her but you're just kind of uncomfortable the whole time because she will not stop gushing about her kids. i'm so proud of my boys. and my friends who put my boys on the big screen. genuinely heaven for me right now
#i literally owe my livelihood to them and many of my friends and career opportunities have happened because of them so i don't think it's#too terminally online to say how much they mean to me. and that's just a fraction of it#How the Mentally Unstable Duck and His Irrational Pig Cohort Got Me to Stop Hating Myself: A Memoir#well. i could be more effective about this as i'm not doing as great a job on working on my self deprecating jokes as i'd like to but#sometimes you gotta have a sense of humor about yourself#ahhh shaddap#Syd you poked fun of me for saying my Pig and Duck Mania has calmed down when it clearly hadn't and now it's like worse than ever before#< i don't know what i mean by saying that but im like shaking your hand winking and bowing down to you

after they get together buck insists on having a real first Date and eddie indulges him bc ofc he does. buck proceeds to plan something really Romantic. but everything that could go wrong does go wrong. the jeep gets a flat halfway to the restaurant so theyre 20 minutes late (and a little dirty) to the reservation. buck spills one of the extremely expensive glasses of wine he bought them all over eddie. the kitchen runs out of the steak he knew eddie wanted to order. by the end of the night buck is just. 😞😔 eddie im sorry that was the worst date of your life. and eddies like. yeah it was...maybe the dating thing isnt for us. eddie 😭😭😭 pls give me another chance!!! but eddies like. no, dont think dating is the move for us, we should just get married.
#alternatively#bucks like edddiiieee im so sorry for taking you on the worst date ever#and eddies like. buck. i got divorced on a date. this is nothing#and then buck gets all self deprecating like oh. so its not even memorable as the worst date ever it just sucked 😞😞#well. i could think of something that could make this the best date ever#what?#well. the worst i got divorced. so on the best i think...maybe itd have to be the opposite#uhhh. idk. get married??#great idea buck.#yayyy#me thinks

"Is this because of Crescent Moon?" [...] "It would put anyone in a terrible mood." [...] Holding my gaze for a moment, Sung Hyunjae took an item out of his inventory. Long fingers put the sound-blocking item on the table with a tap. "Are you worried about me?" "Worried? What's there to worry about when it's you? I'm just-" I stopped talking and closed my mouth. "...Yes. I'm worried." To be honest. [...] "I should thank you." "Ah, what for? I've already received what I was to receive. Besides, for me, it's not just you, but everyone around me. I don't want to lose you." [...] "It's true that the past I don't know of is bothering me, but..." Golden eyes looked up at me. "What I'm concerned about now is another part." Hmm? What else is there? "What is it?" He didn't return an answer. What came out after a moment's silence was something completely unexpected, "Wouldn't it be better for you to get some rest?" "I rested without doing anything in particular, both in the dungeon and since we've gotten out." I'm just talking. I was a little sleepy but I feel fine for now. "Don't change the subject, please." Sung Hyunjae's brow furrowed slightly. His expression seemed - how to say it - troubled. I was even more curious about what it was. Was it something he didn't want to talk about? Why? I thought he didn't care about other's thoughts. Ah... could it be? "Is it because I showed a weak side of myself?" [...] He cared about me anyways. As ever. Otherwise, he would've said so out loud. "From the start, I was and will continue to be imperfect but you know that. So if you have anything to say, just say it. I won't be able to fall apart any further at this point and I think I could accept whatever it is that you have to say." "For some reason..." "Yes?" "I want to lay bare what's inside you. Everything down to the depths of you."

would we like to talk about how hosea also contributed to arthur’s entrapment in and eventual demise due to the van der linde gang because he was constantly affirming to arthur that he was “dim-witted” and “a fool”, and we can assume he’s been doing as such since arthur was very young, and therein causing arthur to internalize the narrative that he is nothing but a dumb brute who could never make it as anything other than a “born and bred” killer or is that too controversial
#or am i thinking too much ?#i’m so tired so if this makes no sense just ignore it ❤️#just thinking thots about how arthur is always so self deprecating while also being incredibly well-spoken and astute#as well as more emotionally aware than he and anyone else gives him credit for#and yet all he thinks is that he’s an emptyheaded criminal and nothing more#ummm sir you’re literally making references to greek mythology please come on now#and methinks this indoctrination by hosea (who is arguably one of the greatest minds in the gang) convinces arthur firsthand that he is what#he is only perceived to be; big. destructive. dense.#from day one arthur has been perfectly molded into a fantastic weapon#and everyone is happy to talk about how dutch’s fingers fit perfectly around the trigger#but so far i haven’t seen anyone talk about how he also happens to fit perfectly in hosea’s holster as well#anyway just me thinking my thots :)#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#text#arthur morgan#hosea matthews#dutch van der linde#mentioned#hero's talking to himself again

i feel like out of everyone april would be the worst with self-deprecating humor. the boys have self-esteem issues but they're literally all the types to play up confidence or double down instead of addressing them (raph the least, but he can be pretty stubborn at times), but april's momentum only takes her so far and she is pretty willing to admit defeat if her usual methods dont work. the speed at which she falls back into the idea that she cant do anything right,,, there's probably a point where she jokes about it before it even happens to prepare herself for disappointment, right?
#personal#i feel like raph would admit he has problems but the second you try to imply they're like Bad he's like WHAT???? NO#at one point i joked about him trying to pull everyone into family therapy but REFUSING to get individual therapy#because he will just undermine all of that shit even when it's really obvious. ESPECIALLY if he's called out on it#raph gets indignant pretty fast lmao#anyways april..... aprilllllll....... she literally has so much undiagnosed neurodivergent kid energy#she should do self-deprecating humor. she's not actually scared to admit fault like the others can be she's just persistent#actually a pretty good example is her ''my birthdays are cursed'' thing (same btw i get her)#she's so casual about it even though that should be something that's kind of upsetting#but she's just kind of accepted it into her normal. things dont go her way. Lol. Lmao. Whatever. right? (<- is probably a little upset)#i could see her having a ''well what was i expecting'' kind of response to shit going down#because she's so used to failure and disappointment and that's!!! intensely relatable#she's put a lot of walls so it doesnt make it so obvious when she's crushed in the face of her messing up which always seems to happen#because it feels so inevitable that all she can do is brace herself for it. i like to imagine she can find donnie's unguarded sensitivity-#-kind of alarming and frustrating because she hasn't unpacked that part of herself too thoroughly yet#if SHE did that people would shame and laugh at her yknow?#or she'd shame and laugh at herself. it's hard to say what she's really afraid of#maybe of giving up and laying down and letting it all process#despite her intensity april strikes me as deeply repressed. free my girl

Something I think about all the time is how some of Aaravos’s first words to Viren were “how may I serve you?” and one of his absolute last direct remarks made on his thoughts on Viren (for now) is “I tried so hard to help your father”.
#the dragon prince#tdp#viravos#aaravos#viren#lord viren#tdp aaravos#aaravos tdp#tdp viren#viren tdp#the themes of control and power and freedom go so hard within their relationship#especially considering the self-sacrifice boarding onto sh themes with them#that also tie into the butterfly motifs in the show#which also somehow tie into their individual relationships with their literal butterfly child#(which is something I'm not gonna shut up about btw how the butterfly is one of the most commonly associated symbols for the psyche)#I mean their child being created as a tool to serve them that supposedly wasn’t meant to have a soul#and viren and aaravos both in a similar way as their child dealt with the idea of servitude in their arcs a lot#but ultimately the ways we saw them adhere to the idea of servitude was to either actually indirectly serve their own means#or to alternatively further self-deprecate themselves#like just to callback to how aaravos refers to viren and later on to himself as vessels#like I think the fact that they added that second use of the term wasn’t for no point at all#I think it was to show how little aaravos respects his own bodily autonomy as much as viren’s or the next guy’s#or yk his own child#but anyways yeah it is so fascinating to see two characters who are so power hungry be willing to damage themselves in such awful ways#or in other words sacrifice so much and even themselves#just to obtain that sense of power#especially in relationship to each other#the irony with these two#but ig that's what aaravos was preaching about with everything being complicated

There are so many parts of the murderbot tv show that seem fine on first glance but are so baffling if you think about them for two seconds. Like the extremely anticlimactic governor module hacking is very funny and a cute introduction to mb as a character but. Murderbot not knowing whether it hacked its governor module before or after the ganaka pit incident is actually a major plot point in artificial condition. Thats the whole reason it wants to go back there. It doesn't know whether it hacked itself to cause violence or prevent violence. Why would you take away that aspect of the mystery for no reason i just dont get it.
#i just reread all systems red for the first time in a really long time and i am. baffled.#also its so clear in all systems red that mb uses 'murderbot' as a derogatory term for secunit#while also calling itself murderbot in kind of a self deprecating/ironic way#so it picking that as a name is. well thats just not how it happened.#it wasnt sitting around like what will i call myself#it was insulting itself and then gurathin picked that out of its logs without knowing the context#and its not until network effect that 2.0 is able to reclaim that and call itself murderbot openly#theyre the murderbot diaries bc it is /A/ murderbot
