#people away from this blog lmao

[astrovian]

if you user t/rrent there’s been a dual audio version of the man from rome out since september and the image quality is better than youtube

Thanks for the tip, anon!

I do just want to point out something though - we absolutely should be paying for RA's content where possible

Now, don't get the wrong idea that I'm preaching from up on a high horse because trust me, I have streamed (and still do) so many things in my life that may have come from uh... let's say, more *dubious* sites

Accessibility to content is a real issue for a number of us, especially because RA tends to do a lot of UK/European-centric releases. Here in NZ we can have *so many* paid subscriptions to legal streaming services and still not be able to access modern mainstream content that places like the UK & US take access to for granted

So look - I get it. I actually actively encourage it 99% of the time

But bear with me for a second:

I know it's obvious, but I think it bears repeating that paying for RA's content is the number one way we can say directly to film creators - "yes, we want you to cast RA in more things!!" and also allows us to directly tell RA - "yes, we do want to see you do more things and continue on like you are!!!"

It's that old stupid phrase that I hate for being so true: money talks

And that idea of talking with our money directly to Richard is particularly important to keep in mind, more so now than ever I think, as we look ahead to the next few years, and also back at the past few years of RA's works

I mean, look at the main types of works RA has been producing in recent years:

a) Netflix-heavy content (where most of us have subscriptions that are not solely dependent on him being in their shows)

b) Smaller, more niche productions & film markets (e.g. though maybe a bad example because it's also a Netflix film, we know for a fact RA took a pay cut to shoot Space Sweepers because he liked the idea of the film, but the film itself was intended really for more of the Korean market than the Western one) - not necessarily Hollywood blockbusters

c) Audiobook narrations & voice-over work

Combine that with the fact that he's very explicitly said that his focus for the coming years is on his fledgling writing and producing careers which he's been setting up, and I sadly do think that the time when we see him less and less on-screen is coming much sooner than any of us would really like to admit

(and I mean that in a "I'm happy for you RA for following your current passions but also depressed at the thought because I want you to continue in front of the camera for as long as you can" kind of way)

I'm not saying that I think he'll give acting up for good anytime soon (he's not THAT old, despite his complaints and talk of self-retirement 🙄) but I think it's incredibly naive for all of us to not see the writing on the wall in terms of the direction he actively wants (and is working hard to ensure!!) his career is moving in - and in particular, what that means for his on-camera career

My prediction is that we will see his narrative, writing, and producing works increase in volume and they will take over the majority of his time in coming years - we'll only get the occasional film/show from him compared to the bounty he's blessed us with in the past (keep in mind I am also really talking big, big picture here)

Which will be a bittersweet moment for us because I think we're all so happy he's following what he wants but also so sad his new acting jaunts will be less frequent for us to consume (note how I'm not suggesting he will stop acting in film/TV altogether)

((and I would could write a freaking novel on why I think he's seemingly a bit obsessed with this idea of self-retiring and getting old as an actor but that is a story for another time maybe!!!))

BUT ANYWAY, as dumb and as obvious as it is, what I'm saying is that paying for RA's new shows/films is the number one way we can get the message across to him that despite these exciting new paths that he's gonna wander down (and we will be following him down!), we still want to see him exercise his acting muscles as much as he's willing to for us!!

So, by all means, t/rrent & stream where you need to - heaven knows I do. Do it if you need or want access to his work ASAP and that's the only way you can get it. Do it if it hasn't been released in your country & don't feel guilty for it

All I'm saying is - if you are blessed with an avenue to pay for one of his works, and if you have some spare dollars at the end of a paycheck - please, please, please do so

Stream it illegally, then ALSO go buy the DVD. T/rrent it then ALSO buy it from Apple or Google Play. Stream and t/rrent it and then ALSO go see it in the cinema. Or do all of them if you really can afford to!!!

Paying to see RA's films/shows is the number one way we can ensure he makes more room in his life for future acting gigs while he also focuses on wandering down new exciting chapters in his career

every time a post/poll goes around about being aspec and fandom shipping enjoyment/engagement/whatever im like. NOW can we stop acting like being an aromantic person who enjoys shipping is some kind of Weird Outlier Situation? can we stop acting like this is an Unpopular Opinion or even Persecuted Outcast Take rather than idk, the default standard, just like everywhere else? idk romance repulsed aromantics Yes Including Fiction aren’t the default or even a significant majority and it really drives me nuts when people act like aros who enjoy shipping are somehow Not exactly that.

Mini Rant

I honestly hate loasstwt tbf. Like the amount of ppl i see on there shaming others for how they manifest is absurd. Someone likes a+p? Great. Let them affirm. Someone uses states to manifest? That's great, let them do it. Someone wants to manifest in steps? Great, let them do it. Honestly if you don't like or agree with the way another person manifests something, that's okay. But don't project your negativity onto others and try to tell them that they're doing it wrong. Like stop it. You look ridiculous.

Why get so worked up and offended over how someone chooses to go about their manifestation journey? You don't like manifesting with states? Fine. That method doesn't work for you? Don't believe in subliminals? Okay good. But don't attack others for doing what works for them. Someone else creating their own rules for their own reality does not and should not conflict with yours. We're all limitless creators... right? So let us be limitless creators. Like tell me you're not confident in yourself without telling me you're not confident in yourself because people who bully others for no reason are insecure, not confident. If you were actually confident in your own manifesting abilities, you wouldn't be making others feel bad for being confident in theirs. If you actually believed in yourself, you wouldn't be bringing others down. Do better.

Side note I've seen my fair share of racism, lgbtphobia, fatphobia, etc on there too buts that's a whole nother thing to discuss, but yeah the whole "your way of manifesting is wrong" "youre a bad person for doing xyz" "why do that when you can do this" "you're not doing it right" type of mindset people have on there is something I had to address. Like. Your manifestation journey is unique. Let people do things their way and go do things your way. Don't be a pathetic asshole and let people be themselves. Sure, everything does go your way, but not everything HAS to be your way. Get what I'm saying?

✨“proud” for one my muse’s proudest moments

"We came across a burning landscape one day. There was this mutant boy, in a dimension we were staying in. He had an uncontrollable power, that caused any carbon-based life around him to burst into flames."

"He killed like 300 people! I didn't know if he could hurt us or not, but we didn't care. We tracked him down and found him hiding out in some cave somewhere."

"We were going to save him. It was the first time we'd ever made a decision together, without any conflict. He was terrified of us at first, thought he was hallucinating.

"And then when he realized we're sentient, he started begging us to kill him! It was really sad, man... But we talked him down, and he agreed to let us take him to a dimension where all life is silicon-based.

"He can't hurt anyone there, and we check in on him from time to time. He's learning an alien language, and making friends. He's alive, and he has a pretty good life at that."

I'm so glad that you're talking about her because she drove off one of my favorite writers (kazushawty) and when I read her reasons and proof, it didn't make sense at all :( (lol if she sees this message of mine, she'll probably think that im kazushawty w/o any proof because that's how she is)

HOW COULD I FORGET KARMA 😭😭😭 I HAD TO EDIT IT TO INCLUDE HER… but LMAOAOAO the shade at the end??? i absolutely get it anon, i’m also still in contact with karma on discord and i watched EVERYTHING unfold, including with zari. these two were just minding their business until one of her anons decided to start shit, involving them both that it just got out of control and zari + karma were driven off this app. like… i wish there was a way to ip track/doxx someone on anon. but unfortunately my bf who works in cybersecurity said it isnt possible. :(

i feel like i should start making more of an effort, when i talk about something in a piece of media being Upsetting to me, to distinguish between 'cathartic' upsetting and 'gave me psychic damage' upsetting. sometimes i mean OUGH OW MY FEELINGS THIS FUCKS ME UP IN A MEANINGFUL AND RESONANT WAY, MY LIFE IS ENRICHED FOR BECOMING AWARE OF IT and sometimes i mean that it is genuinely distressing and i want to shake the creators and ask what the fuck they were thinking

[nebulouscoffee]

Me, attending the latest in a ridiculous number of funerals this year in the place of a childhood friend who couldn't be there, watching the lifeless body of an old lady who used to make me snacks in the kitchen when I was a kid be carted away forever while my friend's mother cries and tells me she's grateful I could be there because it felt like having the support of her own daughter, hugging her and talking reassuringly and not processing a single one of these emotions: ... I am going to write soooo much fanfiction about this

[lottieurl]

The people saying shit like the ear eating isn't about Jackie and Shauna being in love are stupid and Wrong. Like, genuinely wrong. Here's an interview the showrunners did:

https://variety . com/2023/tv/news/yellowjackets-premiere-showrunners-shauna-eating-jackies-ear-1235563321/amp/

(no space between variety . Com obvs but Tumblr be stupid about links sometimes)

Also they were on a podcast:

https://open spotify . com/episode/4WBBVxpcip9F8lz35zNAPC?si=5095e4e1514c4d67

(same deal about the . And spaces)

I haven't listened to the podcast myself yet but here are two choice quotes from someone who has that they sent it to the discord:

"it's very intimate...there's like an even slightly erotic component to it, i would argue...both friendship, but also almost a quasi-sexualized love, in a way"

" who knows how the dynamics of any kind of relationship would be different given a different kind of social context...given various repressive forces of the age...who knows what would have been different"

And I have some Thoughts on all of it but the ear eating is intentionally homoerotic

ok so. for the podcast search for "Prestige TV Podcast, Yellowjackets season 2, episode 1 recap" (that's a link but in case it doesn't work you can search manually)

and here's the article

i still need to listen to that podcast but THOSE QUOTES huh huh huh honestly if you don't think it's gay you're boring and i have no interest talking about it with you

Sad that we apparently have reached a point where people need to be told outright to manage their expectations for an episode of a tv show lest they throw tantrums afterwards.

[itstheelvenjedi]

Slow on the uptake bc checking tumblr/socmed is very much the bottom of my priority list rn

But obligatory disclaimer as a polyam queer butch that I do not condone, support or agree with the shit Frazer Blaxland has been saying lately.

I'm not personally gonna stop making content for Dammon/shipping him with characters, I'm so deep into my personal headcanons that tbh the only connection there is pretty much the voice itself and the vague appearance so I feel like I can separate the two pretty well. If you can't that's also fine but also pls do not attack me for this. I will block you. I'm ONE more bad thing away from losing my fucking shit frfr (which is why I'm so inactive here rn) and I'm NOT about to be the bitch that has to tell the psych that dumb fandom drama was my last straw so I will not be engaging w any attempts. This is the only time I'll bring it up. but yea. Feel like I have to say it so ppl don't assume I support those disgusting opinions.

Also not sure how long I'll be 'active' here again. I may disappear again for a while I'm sorry ;; shit sucks rn and tumblr/most socmed is effort and spoons I dont have LOL if we're buds and for some reason you DONT already have me added on Discord feel free to DM me and I'll give yall my Discord tag,

That's the place that's easiest/least stressful and where I spend most of my time atm, but I don't want ppl to feel like I'm ignoring them! I promise I'm not <3 if you tagged me in a meme or whatever I will get around to it when I can I promise, it'll just be slow and at the whim of how many spoons I have on a given day haha

I’m about to start publicly shaming bitches who can’t read the clear “dni if you ship pedophilia and incest” on my pinned post.

More horrible sinday headcanons hello. We're just going bullet point now. Also it goes without saying but everything discussed here is consensual. Anyone assuming otherwise because he's a villain? [cocks gun]

If you ask, he's going to tell you he's a switch (truth) and very predominantly a dom (lie, he's a switch with a slight preference for the opposite). The first time someone takes control in the bedroom/gets rough with him, it's going to be abundantly obvious that he likes exploring that fear of a lack of control sexually. Literally, it's the #1 way to make him absolutely, whole-heartedly lose hold of his little well-kept persona. It's the biggest irony in the world, but nothing gets him off like having all of his control taken away in the bedroom.

Once again surprising no one, he likes it rough. Like, rough rough. Don't get me wrong, he can and does enjoy vanilla sex but like idk maybe he wants his face shoved into a pillow while he—

Literally obsessed with leaving + receiving any kind of marks. He's not necessarily super possessive in a classic sense (once again: he can't love anyone more than he loves himself), but there is a thrill to having a lasting reminder.

Hate-fuck central here. Might fall in love with his attractive rival, also might hate them but still want to sleep with them. He's so so so so normal guys

If someone is clearly attracted to him smoking he can and will blow smoke into their mouth, I'm just saying.

Horrible spiteful little power bottom when applicable. Will shit talk you to hell and back while absolutely loving every second of it.

Rivals who have sex with him absolutely get to not only degrade him but say things he wouldn't normally never let anyone get away with. The problem is he'll say twice as worse back and usually mean it.
