Remember when they changed the actor in Iron Man 2 from Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle?

Yeah me neither

I just saw this video talking about actresses who've had to wear sexualized outfits on film that made them uncomfortable (think Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad) and it brought up an ongoing concern of mine about how films and tv shows are way more explicit now than they've been before. Thinking about how many actresses have been topless or nude on camera when it's totally unnecessary) Like I know Hollywood is experimental and would show sex and nudity in their films, I don't have a problem with that it's just how disproportionate the amount of women vs men who have to be naked and sexualized in film is. It's misogyny, pure and simple. Forcing actresses to put their bodies and sexuality on display for the pleasure of male directors and a male audience. And I hate that you can never point out how many actresses have come out and said that no, they didn't like wearing sexualized outfits on screen, they didn't like going nude/being pressured to go nude, they don't like sex scenes or explicit rape scenes but still anytime anyone mentions this you have to fight puritan allegations because god forbid you question how a notoriously sexualized and objectified marginalized community seems to always be sexualized and objectified in media.

Upd8:

I've been losing a fistfight to mental illness lately but am making progress:

-Bethany's sin review is in progress! I don't think it'll be very long (atm I'm 2k in, my guess would be 6k length, so half an hour?) but who knows.

-my fallen london lore vid (part 1) is MOSTLY done. The main issue is deciding when to call it finished— a lot of admin choices about how much info to give when, what order stuff should be in, etc. I want to strike a balance between spoilers and cool info— "if I wanted to tell a pal about FL, how much lore would I spoil to intrigue them?" Stuff like the Masters being capitalist space bats is technically a big spoiler, but also a huge draw to get peopleto check the game out! Later I hope to do a part 2, part 3 and actually get in depth on the more esoteric aspects of the world, but I want this to be a layman's introduction.

-after these, I still do not have a next book/series picked out. I have so many options and suggestions.... my instinct though is that it is time I read The Cage, aka That YA Book Trilogy About A Human Zoo. That sounds fun.

I be getting ideas sometimes. Good ones? Let's not get too hasty now

Basically, I've been getting back into Gravity Falls, got inspired by this drawing by @snozzlefrog, and the fact that all my AUs have made Irratino Just Some Guy, while Logico gets to be something cool, I present to you another franken crossover Gravity Falls x Murdle AU that held me at gunpoint until I drew this despite the fact I need to be awake and active tomorrow lol

I'm gonna be so honest. I have like three vibes I'm structuring this off of. Those vibes are the idea that Logico (Logico Pines? what do we call him i gotta keep my AUs straight) has been called to investigate a series of strange happenings in the town of Gravity Falls, or he's here to prove it's nothing paranormal at all. Irratino (Irratino Cipher? Super Spooky Secretino?) is very interested in Logico, drawn to how strictly he adheres to rationality. In Irratino's universe, illogicality reigns supreme and Logico just doesn't abide by that, or even acknowledge it? Fascinating. (Logico, even upon being confronted with Irratino, chalks it up to theoretical physics things that can be explained away perfectly logically.)

Another vibe I'm basing this off is that Irratino really is a force to be reckoned with. Like in @lilythelitten's headcanons, he's gotta be intense enough to handle the murderous employees somehow :P. Also he's gone to great lengths to fake his death, committed a murder while pretending to be dead, burned a slaughterhouse down and got away with it, a whole host of other things- He's uh. A little scary out of context.

And the last vibe I have are that the Institute cast is Irratino's gang of interdimensional criminals he calls friends. (Look. there's a guy that's just teeth in GF. We have Seashell in the Institute. Y'all see the vision). Is Irratino's true form a talking triangle? Does he want to ring in the end of the world? What's his dynamic with Logico compared to Bill and Stanfords? How does Irratino's mom lore compare to Bill's home dimension lore? How many fingers does this Logico have, actually? Great questions!

I get you about the hetero vibes of JD. Like there are CPs who act like they have been married for years and I am inclined to believe that and there are CPs who are just happy their job is to flirt with their homies and they lean into it. The latter is JD to me. Like no matter how much they would flirt, I won't believe they are actually together. I can belive they are best friends, even soulmates but not a couple

yep, exactly! i mean, JD also act like they've been married for years in a way, but as i mentioned in my other reply, it just feels like more of an inside joke and feels much more platonic than romantic

and they most definitely have fun flirting with each other. i think it's as entertaining for them as it is for us. especially for joong. i think it's a well known fact that no matter how insane you think you are about JD, you can be sure that joong is more insane about JD than you are. and i fully support him in that <3

sometimes u just have to think about how gwen is thee it girl in camelot 😌 favoured heavily by morgana, courted by arthur and then became queen (not to mention that arthur was willing to forsake his entire kingdom just to be with her), lancelot loved her at first sight and he carried that flame of his affection until he died, gwaine stopped in the middle of the street to flirt with her, leon basically goes and shoots his shot while arthur’s dying, merlin’s willing to disguise himself AND die for her at any turn… nobody does it like thee babygirl ever <3

Thank you for the tags @elodiah @lokimobius @thosegayoldmen @loki-is-my-kink-awakening and @kcscribbler!

Here I am, answering the call! With what? I don't even know. 🙈 The germ of an idea hit me the other day and my brain has been whirring like a decryption program trying to unlock the rest of it.

“Hey!”  Loki was startled out of his shock by Mobius’ shout. Barton had paused in his struggle, breathing heavily in the grip of the TVA agents, but his venomous stare never wavered from Loki. Mobius snapped his fingers at the Minutemen, who jerked to attention. “What are you waiting for? Get him down to Processing, now.” “Yes, sir!” C-9 squeaked and her team began to drag Barton away. He resumed struggling but was forced down the hallway, one halting step at a time. The last glimpse Loki had of Barton was his face in profile, fury and despair present in equal parts.

I feel like everyone has already been tagged (and this may not have broad appeal), so I'll do an open tag today! If you decide to share something, feel free to @ me so I see it. <3

I'm so heavily anti-advertising that all pitches sound goofy silly to me/I can never take them seriously, so I have no idea how I'll manage to to advertise my game even if I do finally finish it soon-ish lol...
