Typing this from Hollywood itself.
I know it’s popular to give Alfred an actor phase, and I agree, but I raise you voice actor Alfred. Impressionist Alfred. Human soundboard type of guy. Apart from talking with basically his whole body, he might not do much physical acting, but let me tell you, Alfred can throw his voice. He can scream his head off like Mel Blanc, he performs sketches as both Shaggy & Scooby when standing in front of his fridge hungry, he can annoy Mathieu with disturbingly accurate Minecraft eating & drinking sounds when they’re eating near each other. This shit is just sprinkled into any interaction with him, but especially if he’s trying to convey a story. He’ll do bad impressions of people he dislikes as a treat.
#hetalia#aph america#hws america#alfred f jones#alfred f. jones // daring to fly#you guys get to have this while I struggle with a headache in the entertainment capital#I’ve always been nervous to share this headcanon for some fucking reason#well never a better time than while visiting la and hollywood

What's the apple tree yard? And its conspiracy? (^.^)
where do I start
#basically S4 of sherlock was so utterly; mind-blowingly bad that some fans went “this can't possibly be how it ends”#and started talking about a secret 4th episode/finale#and they convinced themselves that apple tree yard - a series which was about to premiere#was actually some sort of... clue to this secret sherlock ep?#like that it was a fake show and all the promo about it was actually about sherlock#I don't remember the details#crazy fandom. crazy times.#you had to filter out a lot to have a good time#but sometimes the craziness was entertaining I'm not gonna lie#I also want to stress some people were 100% serious about this#it wasn't a “haha yeah the secret episode we've all seen it” wink-wink à la goncharov kind of joke#I'd like to say this was peak sherlock fandom insanity but I'm not 100% sure#good fics though.#asks

Video
“Traveler in Space”, Cyrano de Bergerac (1950)
#De Guiche#Cyrano#Cyrano de Bergerac#Voyage dans la Lune#About books#I talk too much#José Ferrer is hilarious in this. It's still one of my favourite versions of the scene if not my favourite#His anxious little jumps are so funny so adorable and so real xD#I think this version manages well the different aspects of the scene. Cyrano's anxiety. His charm and wit#I think it sells the idea of Cyrano entertaining de Guiche and convincing him to stay in a way I think most other adaptations don't#Here in my opinion the evolution from de Guiche being annoyed first diverted later and invested at last feels natural#Cyrano all the while checking the time and whether the wedding is finished from time to time really is what makes the scene for me#Besides making it funnier and making Cyrano stay more in character I think it helps integrate the scene better in the play itself#Ferrer's powerful beautiful voice works wonders in this scene as well. How it's small playful and silly and then he regains his usual voice#It really brings home how his voice is at the end of the day even more Cyrano's main trait than the nose is#Anyway... I'm talking a lot just as usual. But I really love this scene

btw if there's a slim to none chance of the next nintendo console getting teased at the direct i'm gonna say a hot take
i do not care for the idea of the switch 2
#is it likley? yes ofc#im fully expectibg some type of followup a la what the 3ds is to the ds#but i feel like so many people are betting on it to be an acutal gaming powerhouse w 4k 65 ffps 170 kiloflops etc#but thats really not nintendos pace#nintendo has a see a need fill a need thing. they make a silly gadget w a cute gimmick or two that isnt ridiculously powerful#but it takes full advantage of its limitations#even if it gets overlooked as time passes it brings something thats at the very least different from the average console#its not big n strong but its memorable at least. and i like that#and also im just of it. if i hear one more 'the switch 2 will be the most powerful ever!' im gonna smash something#again#a switch successor makes a lot of sense#but i feel like this would be time nintendo moves onto the next gimmick of the decade#wheres your whimsy#also i completely forgot to mention abt nintendos intended audience. most families / kids probably dont care about specs so long as the-#-games are entertaining and good#n the price of have the biggest and best hardware would not fit in well w that#i should write an essay. that is all#nintendo direct

thinking 'bout how the lads interact with what the bracelets represent, especially in their decks
#marwospeaking#Yuuya is by far hardest to work with on this because he Varies. but that might just be him being opposite to Yuzu so it might count?#anyway Yuuya is a bushfire made by fireworks set off without proper precaution (the improperly set off fireworks being Zarc..#.. being influenced into the position that made the lads through his desire to both destroy and entertain his crowds)#It's small sometimes. but in the right conditions is an unstoppable conflagration#Yuuto literally does not die. In a world where we never truly get the other two (Yuugo and Yuuri) interacting with their host (Yuuya)..#.. outside of duels. he very much does. He is undead in a way the others don't quite match (pre Zarc revival) and it's opposite to..#.. En Bird's life (assuming it counts death too as part of its cycle)#Yuugo uses machine monsters - things that distinctly don't breathe. and in most cases have exhaust pipes billowing fumes#and machines can be warm to the touch at times. which you could feasibly slide against Rin's Windwitches for being Very Cold Ladies#Also he's trapped no matter where he is. Neo Domino has a stronger grip on him as a person than anyone else. and when he might finally..#.. escape that. he's trapped in someone else's body with no canonical recourse. because the story ended on Yuuya's terms and no one elses#Yuuri is hardest to place but I think he's very stationary. Sere's monsters are dancers - constantly moving - and she's very able to#adapt as she goes despite how stupid she can be book-wise. Yuuri is rooted into his role. even when he discards his loyalty his role was..#.. always in Zarc's interest no matter if he knew or not. The Professor's loyalty from him is an add-on to that#... I'd argue Zarc cared more about his pieces than Ray cared about hers also? He made cards for them on the fly so they'd Win#Even in moments where that victory is not in a wholly positive light - Odd-Eyes Raging and Gatlinghoul - but we know he's capable of it..#.. a la allowing Yuuya to debut pendulum monsters on his behalf in order to win against Ishijima#something something this can then apply to the other lads. they never lose except to each other and Ray's girls (at least on screen)#Yuuto survived 3 years of war. even despite Yuugo and Yuuri showing up. so methinks Zarc must've had a role in helping him survive#Like. Zarc's distinctly present for his Lads. Ray's not present for her lasses until one of them speaks through her#Sure it's very possible that's a bracelet thing - they are floodgates at the end of the day - and not a Ray thing. but it also wouldn't..#.. surprise me given Ray is an Akaba. we know they will sacrifice others for a gain later on - Ray's was sacrificing a whole world to make.#.. a safer one for everyone to live in. irrelevant on if they remember it or if they never existed originally. Except Leo Akaba. He does#(with memory reading tech) and it tortures him the whole time. she didn't mean to hurt him but Still#Zarc's distinctly not better than Ray - he's still broken wide open when it comes to his hatred of humanity (but not his human half)#and it resulted in multiple near-deaths the second time around - but I can't say Ray's that much better if it turns out the bracelets..#.. weren't floodgating her ability to help her lasses#Completely unrelated but. I don't like what Arcray represents ngl. makes it seem like Zarc could never move on with the help of his lads#and has to rely on someone who killed him and sent him to purgatory about it in order to heal.

Anyway re: Jeanne d'Arc. It's anachronistic to define her as a fascist saint or as a nationalist warrior. To quote Lucien Febvre, you're giving Diogenes an umbrella and Mars a gatling gun. I don't think people in tumblr making comics about Joan of Arc as she relates to gender, violence, or her relationship to god are the reason we have the far-right turn her into a fascist icon. I don't think Leslie Feinberg writing about her emboldens Eric Zemmour. I don't think F'murr's Jehanne au pied du mur (an excellent comic book where Joan is either piss-drunk or trying to have sex with her alien husband or trying to rope Attila the Hun into many a harebrained scheme) had any impact on racism in France.
I think we can say it's sometimes cringey & annoying when people use complex & flawed historical people as blorbos (cf: Hamilton, Our Flag Means Death, The Terror). Sometimes it's done very skillfully and it sheds light on history and sometimes it's in poor taste and obscures the events and one's mileage will enormously vary over time (used to be big into Hamilton, find it a poor history lesson and a cringe fandom now, but I don't think it has had any negative consequence on antiblack racism in the U.S)
But people on Tumblr or even writers have very little impact on tradcath fascist radicalisation, and if they do, I don't think they're worsening the situation in any way shape or form. The people in Orleans aren't reactionary racists because Joan of Arc is an inherently Racist or Royalist or Christian figure. They're racists because they're pieces of shit and right-wing tradcath reaction has been a big thing in the french countryside for structural reasons. I can understand getting mad at "Marie-Antoinette did nothing wrong" Coppola-snorting coquettes (M-A was ridiculously and blithely evil irl) but I find it really strange to have Joan of Arc being a tumblr blorbo for us queers a hill one would be willing to fight on.
#no shade intended to the mutual who complained about Joan of Arc#if i'd spent more than 5 minutes in Orleans' train station i think i'd have burned the city down the vibes are off and rancid there#so i somewhat understand where you're coming from#but like. to see Joan of Arc as some sort of nationalist Christian mystic qui a bouté les anglais hors de France is EXACTLY#what Michelet la 3ème République et les Le Pen are trying to have us swallow#whereas ''teen girl grows up in time of war; chooses a side to end the war; gets killed by fellow french speakers of french culture''#is also a historical reading of it. the knights joan fought spoke french lived in France knew the same songs the same landscapes#and she; again; was burned by the Catholic church yeah yeah yeah it was political but the church being a tool of politics...#all i'm saying is that if the only reading we're willing to entertain is that she was a [something that won't exist for 100+ years]#then yeah let's not have her in our art or mention her. but the mental categories of her day & age are fascinating and so is her story#i don't see why we can't celebrate; if not her fight... her life ? i don't see what she did in life that was so wrong

My favourite moment from Armando Mendoza’s many neurotic rages is when he yells at Patricia like PATRICIA FERNANDEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she stumbles backwards like he’s SpongeBob air-horned her
#I have it replaying in my head on a permanent loop. ITS SO FUNNY#toxic and frankly frightening behaviour is only allowed for male characters when I think it’s entertaining. no questions taken at this time#I don’t find it very funny when he pulls and flings Bety about but all his other behaviour is the entertaining kind of unhinged.#unfortunately I find complicated characters fascinating and I’m obsessed with him in any variation.#yo soy betty la fea

Tafí del Valle is beautiful but I think Cafayate can beat it to a pulp
#El Cabra Corral can beat La Angostura also#Like all you can do there is go to the lake and do lake stuff (fun) though the water has some stuff#Eat regional food and then uh idk look at the green hills#Do trekking or hiking or whatever#Cafayate is like not a canyon but yeah idk what those are called red boulders and stuff#Both a ravine but cafayate has museums and wineyards and waterfalls and the hills and the music venues and the artisan parlor#Idk I think it has more variety#Like just looking at the hills they're all different and have names and stories#And the caves also#Both are gorgeous btw I just think one offers more entertainment than the other#Which is likely because tourism is the livelihood of one while the other is more like the place where rich ppl have extra houses n shit#Tafi doesn't feel as touristy which isn't a bad thing#And I'm writing this here because my fam wanted to watch Constantine which we've watched 100 times already instead of hearing me talk#Which is valid because it's a great movie and I'd join them if I didn't feel so ill lmao#Long post#Ignore this

Read you like a bo- visual novel
#💟#Doodles#Art#Scriabin#Edgar#Dating Sim#More of this ✨ But dialogue this time! Character interactions ♪#And symbols and what they mean although hopefully they're pretty self-explanatory haha#The first four are some early leveling up for Scriabin - probably enough that the player is no longer classified as a ''stranger''#But not a friend either - someone familiar who's not just a one-off ''Be rude to and then leave'' situation haha#Flowers are a positive reaction but they aren't equal to a full Affection point#I'm not sure if they count as partial points - kinda like Piece of Heart a la LoZ haha - or if they just unlock more positive dialogue#Make the road clearer when it counts basically - easy mode of being friendly lol#Although I do think it'd be funnier to leave negative options in that critical moment - you're about to understand each other and then just#''Sorry you've had something stuck in your teeth for the past twenty minutes and it's been really distracting :|''#I dunno lol ♪#Either way complimenting Scriabin would hopefully soften him up towards the player at least momentarily haha#I also really liked the idea of a double-date kind of situation where both Vargases are present and react to dialogue differently#If you say something that one of them likes but the other hates it could affect your relationship with both of them! A balancing act#What might entertain one could disgust or disappoint the other so who are you trying to please? Which one can afford to take a dip?#And of course nothing is marked by default so who knows which option is most correct? Haha ♪#It could probably be toggled in Options after beating the game or putting in a cheat for accessibility purposes tho hehe#It'd be a great way to power-level specific dynamics to get whichever ending you're next going for#I also specifically like the last two 'cause it's still left open to interpretation haha - Does Scriabin successfully read the player?#Or is he just happy that the player is on his side and because whatever was said got under Edgar's skin? Who's to say ♪

The fact that I consistently make temporary friends while on vacations is why I have zero interest in dating apps. If I'm gonna have a partner we gotta have a meet cute. If it's not something like meeting while skinnydipping in a hot springs and then going bar hopping and smoking weed to celebrate her divorce, I don't want it.
The only issue is that this sort of thing NEVER happens when I'm in New England.
#portland oregon was very much Not Me but california very much Is#society if i'd not chickened out and moved to LA to be an assistant and tried to break into writing like i wanted :')#meredith glynn is such an icon to me for doing exactly what i wanted to do and being very successful at it#i even had quite a few entertainment industry contacts at that time via my now-ex 💀💀💀

god Corel really does hit every single time.
Like yeah you've seen Shinra destroy area by now, you saw poor slums city before, with beautiful cities planted on top.
but you go to Corel and everything is in ruin, everyone living there still haven't recovered from a tragedy that happened years ago.
You're coming from a luxurious touristic City. You have to pass by Corel to go to the theme park that presides on top of those ruins.
And under the theme park there's a prison, out of the ruins of the town as it used to be, where people are thrown and forgotten there, unless they bring some entertainment to the people upstairs.
Like we're seen the power dynamic in Midgar and in Junon, where people on top have a luxury life while people at the bottom are suffering in poverty, but this is such a grim set up.
And honestly i feel like this explains even more Barret's hatred for Midgar and its plate. It's what happened to his village, except that the people of the slums have grown used to it. Shinra keeps repeating the same projects, the same thing, ignoring a poverty that happened because of them, by just covering it with something shiny on top.
Man this is so unsettling.
#like i think one thing that kinda gets me is how like#i've been to Paris a few times more since the last time i played the game#i've started to go more or less annually to see some friends yaknow#and sometimes some of the cheapest train tickets drop you specifically at the station next to Disneyland#so you come out of the train at your train station#you look one of the exit doors and you can see the tips of the attraction and castle in the distance#and you then move through the exit doors at the opposite side and you can see homeless people sleeping on cardboard#like i WISH i would look at this 1997 game and say the way to show the divide between poverty and entertainment#and the way capitalism easily hide the misery by more flashy things#is a disproportionate and dystopic view on reality. But then i just go#'Well that's just like Marne-la-Vallée.'#and then i get sad.#ichablogging ffviiog
