#Performance of Contract

[dovesndecay]

Hey fellow workers and union men🐈‍⬛, SAG-AFTRA has released a series of short, plain-language explanations regarding the fight for AI protections in video games, and what they're fighting for.

Please share this widely for game performers, current and future, and make sure to support the union!

so say you're a streamer, and say you don't want to say anything too politically divisive and remain a safe, welcoming space for all. also say someone sends a tts dono requesting you to say something positive about a marginalized group and you decline, for the reason stated previously. and let's also say several of your mods are openly bigoted maga supporters on social media. i don't think it's a wild nor unfair leap to see how one of these groups would feel less welcome than the other. just saying.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

Peter Bayer saying Daniel has "no defined KPIs, no set performance indicators" in light of the performance clause rumours is verrrrrrrry interesting 👀

Livestreams....

Currently obsessed with K//pop streams where the band members are all dolled up as usual but one of them is clearly sick.

First couple of sneezes, no one says anything. After the next one, the guy standing next to him rubs his back or shoulder. Other members start to ask if he's okay. The sneezes keep getting louder and he keeps sniffling. At first he was trying to duck out of camera view, but then he's too tired to care about it. Someone tries to make a joke for the fans to pass it off as allergies or just random, but by the end of the hour he's just clearly miserable.

I mean, just the horrible progression over the hour of a cold being suffered by a beautiful man who is utterly trapped by the entertainment industry's batshit insane expectations...... and the sad, earnest, loving camaraderie from his band mates who probably all knew this would be hell on him before they started.

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!

Whump Contracts

They're verstitle.

(Content warnings: Workplace abuse, pet whump, manipulation, possession, slavery, victim blaming, financial abuse?)

Demon Whumper forcing Whumpee into a contract to possess their body.

Whumpee is signing up for an acting role and they're over the moon about it. The problem? They look at the contract they have to sign for it. Whumper wants them for a little more than acting.

Whumpee signing themselves into being a slave/pet because of their self-hatred.

Whumpee unwillingly signing themselves into being a slave/pet.

Whumpee can't read, so they rely on Whumper to explain what is on it. They lie.

That fantasy trope where someone snaps their fingers and the paper and quill appear out of thin air. - Bonus points if it's out of fire or there's some ghost chanting as Whumpee signs it.

Whumper using the contract as a defense in case the authorities/Caretaker find them.

"You should've read the fine print."

Whumpee actually reading the fine print.

Caretaker signing papers to adopt legally be Whumpee's caretaker.

Maple Leafs discourse on their team social medias makes me lose brain cells because wdym they're first in their division and coming off a 5 game win streak & people are commenting that the top players are only in it for the money and have no drive, that particular players are useless and need to be traded asap, that they're a garbage team, that they'll never make it past the first round just because they lost one game.

Apparently because they are being payed handsomely the players must be mindless automatons who perform perfectly every night. It drives me absolutely nuts how quickly alleged fans will completely turn on their own team.

gonna throw up waiting for the explanation but fingers crossed he just had mothers day duties to attend to

what’s your take on franky/alex? where did this ship even come from?

franky and alex DOES have an origin point it is dr @baking-soda and @yekoc they experience many rpf prophetic visions that end up being pure characterization genius tbh... and i am hardly the person to come to for the franky/alex manifesto BUT. i think this is one of those rpf ships that is less about what how they have interacted irl in the literal sense (they were teammates in the lower classes though, which has a fun childhood sweethearts angle), and more about how their personalities and place within the broader "story" of motogp intersect, yknow? although i will say (and this is SO crucial for the irl drama of it all) that when franky had his bad accident during preseason at portimao last year and got LITERAL AMNESIA FROM HIS HEAD INJURY, it was the marquez brothers who got to him first, signaled for the medical staff, and put him in the recovery postion. and it just doenst get more high drama romance than that like literally. LITERALLYYYY

SO primarily i see it used as a vehicle to interrogate alex as the little brother of the most main-character-syndrome man alive who is mostly okay with that because marc is his best friend, but ALSO yearns for his own identity and independence while recognizing that marc is like. not interested in independence really at all. and feeling a little weird about that. and then he DOES carve out something for himself with franky and has to reckon with the sort of. extreme guilt and overwhelming wonder/excitement that comes with that while lowkey feeling like rotten scum because SO much of his life has been about marc in some way and this one thing is entirely free of him and he doesnt even feel like he can TELL marc this because franky is the original vr46 academy guy.... which is a fun way to dig into alex's whole deal for me like its about alex embracing being his own person (which he has done in little spurts irl, post marc injury and moving out recently come to mind. it is also crucial to me that i dont even think he really RESENTS marc) with his own wants and desires and life which is FUN ! like thats just a neat little character arc that giving him a bf fulfills, and then its also a way to explore franky as probably one of THE most like. well rounded and measured and friendliest (and TRAUMATIZED...) individuals off the motogp track (on track. much like alex. less so.) who is as such perhaps the perfect angsty romcom boyfriend for this specific scenario.... especially because the pics from when they were teammates are very cute !

Lmao if the latest skiing story is true it’s giving “I’m going skiing as often as I can now because my tour insurance isn’t forbidding me from doing it anymore” 😂
