#my credentials?

Okay, so just got home after seeing Anyone But You. My honest take.

I went into the movie expecting it to be HORRENDOUS, but I can admit when I’m wrong. It was actually a pretty solid movie overall. The side characters were so fucking funny (GaTa you have my whole ass heart) and they held their own against each other.

Sydney Sweeney can’t act. I’m sorry, she can’t. That was the consensus coming out of the theater from people who didn’t even know the drama. Her lines fell flat and half the time I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to convey. The other half she was making this face: :3

I genuinely believe that if this movie had had a better female lead, it would have been a smash hit. Sydney just fell flat. I will give her this, I haven’t seen her in anything else (I’m not watching Euphoria, you can’t make me dammit), but not everyone can do comedy. Comedy acting is super hard, and she’s one of the ones that can’t do it, and that’s okay. Maybe she’s better in other things, idk?

Glen was pretty good, but we know he can do comedy, so that’s not really a surprise. I think he fell a little flat in this movie, but most of acting is reacting, and most of his scenes were with Sydney….so.

Anyway, I would say go see it. Not for Sydney or Glen, but for the phenomenal supporting cast. They were the ones that had me laughing out loud most of the time. Glen had his moments, but I’m not lying when I say GaTa and Bryan Brown were the true stars of the movie imo

william wisp is the last character who youd expect ro have a functioning relationship with their parents, let alone a STEPFATHER. this is why mato le frog and mark exist because we needed to balance things and give will fathers to be embarassed by and or hate with a burning passion. and tide.

people freaking out about how zb1 acted with jaeyul have never had a younger brother. they are indestructible and beg to be thrown around like he was LOVING it💀

[rystiel]

i’m sensing a trend

[flyrobinflyy]

dick was definitely a “no no no no shhh don’t tell dad” older brother to jason

[belovedgamers]

“What if I just called you ‘babe’, Jimmy?”

I see a lot of new Joel and/or Jimmy viewers and some older ones wonder when they started calling each other babe in the life series, empires or really any video. I’d like to point y’all to MCC All Stars. These were our humble beginnings and none of us have been free ever since

If you wear blue and black and have a lot of different animal designs, sorry to say it but your superpower is shape shifting/morphing :/

Leverage crew, were they in a school musical?

Sophie: I mean duh next question, her drama teachers hated her cause she was so bad, but she was the only one who gave a shit during classes so she kept getting roles somehow

Nate: the extent of this man's onstage acting career was his kindergarten nativities, he was part of a shakespeare society in college but he didn't perform

Eliot: see you think no but oh yeah baby he had a whole High School Musical moment in like sophmore year, he likes to pretend it never happened but his dad still has the videotape from opening night

Hardison: yessss, he initially only did tech crew and pit band because he was bored/needed the credit and it aligned with his skills, but then he got the bug when they did Hello Dolly! or Bye Bye Birdie or some shit and he was onnnnnn that, a photo from the final bows of one of his shows is still on the mantelpiece in Nana's house

Parker: she was a tree in one (1) kindergarten play before she bit a kid for standing on her foot in a scene

A little explainer on what happened with AO3:

Basically, someone or a group of someones decided to levy a DDoS attack. What this means is that they created a botnet (network of devices controlled by a bot, usually run in the background of an unsecured IoT device or computer being used for other things. Think data mining) to flood the servers with false requests for service.

What this does mean: AO3 might go back down, if the attack is relaunched. These types of attacks are usually used against businesses where traffic = money, thereby costing a company money. This isn't really an issue here since AO3 is entirely donation and volunteer based.

What this doesn't mean: stories, bookmarks, etc will be deleted and your anonymously published works will be linked back to you. No vulnerable points are breached during this process, so unless this group ends up doing something else, no data breaches will happen. You are safe, your content is safe.

i check out and read a lot of these books for free via my local library by using the libby app (you can even add your friends' library cards to gain access to libraries in places you don't live). when i'm feeling like reading via audiobook, i use libro fm!

look, no one HAS TO read diversely. no one is going to be reverse fahrenheit 451'd and locked in a room with no fanfic and only books and not let out until they work their way through the entire literary canon. but reading, and reading widely, and reading diversely, is what teaches people to form their own opinions and question the things they are told. it's why they hang up stuff like "READ READ READ!!" in grade school classrooms.

we live under systems that increasingly benefit from going unquestioned. no, of course reading ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by robin hobb is not going to dismantle these systems tomorrow, nor probably even in our lifetimes. but doing it will help set up a world capable of doing it in the future. and until further notice, we are all part of this wretched world. might as well read a good story while we're here.

anyway, i'm reading THE WEST PASSAGE by jared pechaček and the new cmq book this week.

[ilookatmyfingerilookatmylife]

the fact that this seemingly idiotic drug dealer managed to say both peace is a lie and absolution within thirty seconds and i just didn't fucking notice???

What drinks i think the Ninja would get when they go out to the bar:

Nya- Vodka Cranberry. timeless, easy, always tastes good. Never nasty beer.

Kai- Rum and Coke. Same as Nya, and there's no surprises with it. Not much variation between bartenders. he also isn't shy about ordering a bottle of blue moon when the mood strikes

Jay- Stella Artois. He thinks the name sounds fancy. he has an interesting taste for beers because he used to sneak his dads awful coors lights so he doesnt mind beers that have a more offensive taste

Zane- Water. Alcohol doesn't do anything for a robot. Someone once bought him a Sidecar in an attempt to flirt and he liked it well enough, though

Cole- The evilist most bitter locally brewed dark IPA you can imagine. He's tried so many beers to the point he likes the more outlandish drinks. He dogs on Jay for ordering Stella every time they go out together

Lloyd- Fuzzy navel, amaretto sour, pina colatta... he walks up to the bar and asks for the sweetest cocktail the bartender can think of, basically.

Pixal- Water, same as Zane. She only comes to play pool

I'm arguing with some catholic girl on tiktok (yes i know, first mistake) and she just told me that "going to church on sundays" is literally in the 10 commandments. Baffled actually.
