I hope you enjoyed chasing those windmills 😁
I have read that Jared and Jensen are repped by different agencies, Jared is with UTA and Jensen is with Gersh.
How do these agencies rank in Hollywood and what criteria does an actor usually use to choose which agency to work with?
Also, Jared appears to have one rep. (Jason Heyman) and Jensen has three (Alexander Yarosh, Bob Gersh, and Leslie Seibert). Does it mean anything that Jensen has more reps?
I know nothing about how these agencies work (obviously) but am interested to know what the difference is.
I found this information on IMDb Pro, I can’t figure out how to link it I’m sorry.
Those windmills turn out to be faster than they look. Who knew.
The "Big Three of Hollywood” talent agencies are :
Creative Artists Agency (CAA). The biggest and most influential agency in town known for their A-listers and sports clients. Recently bought ICM, an agency mostly known for representing high-tier showrunners/writers like Shona Rhimes, so they're known for (sometimes infamous) packaging bundle. Many agents have left CAA to go to UTA.
William Morris Endeavor (WME). A merge between two agencies in 2009 created another powerhouse agency and upped their game in events management.
United Talent Agency (UTA). Probably the most adaptable agency that includes news broadcasters and comedy clients. UTA likes to boast they represent the "most watched and celebrated actors in film and television".
The 4th position (X) is a battlefield of competing mid-size agencies looking to possible merge: Gersh Agency, A3 Artists Agency, Paradigm Talent Agency, Agency for Performing Arts (APA), and Verge Agency. Then there are the boutique agencies.
Actors choose the agencies based on the work they want to do i.e. commercials, modeling, or television/movies. Some boutique agencies specialize in children actors so there are age ranges to consider. Talents send in submissions of headshots, resume, and cover letters. As an actor grow, they move to bigger agencies, usually with submissions. In-demand actors generally don't send submissions to the Big Three Agencies, the agencies go to them.
Jared was originally represented by CAA and Jensen was originally represented by WME.
Jared's agent, Jason Heyman, was poached by UTA during a "midnight raid" in 2015 through 2019 and Jared decided to go iwth him to UTA while Melissa McCarthy stayed behind with CAA. Heyman went from a high post at CAA to a partnership at UTA, so for him it’s a promotion.
Jensen either left or was dropped by WME and he signed onto Gersh in 2014, who also represents Danneel. This was probably the best move for him because at WME he was always given to newbie agents (basically interns) to handle his career.
Actors can be repped by more than one agent or agencies in order to handle their brand in different markets as well as minimizing conflict of interests. I’ve known actors who had 3 agents: one for voice work, another for commercial work, and a third for tv/film - maybe that's why Jensen has 3 representatives in one agency? Then there are actors with just 1 agent for the same things but in different markets, maybe that's why Jared has 1 agent that we know of.

A thing that takes up real estate in my brain is how everyone in the Who Is Lingering gang would genuinely throw themselves into danger for the sake of others for varying reasons. It’s all either out of pure selflesness or guilt for something in the past. Like, girl help, none of them have a bone of self preservation in their body. Another thing that makes it interesting is that it’s not just that they value their lives lesser than other people but they also just believe that they can take whatever they get when they get themselves into dangerous situations. Not like in a “Haha I’m so powerful” kinda way but a “I know I can endure this better than other people could cus I’m used to it.” Kinda way ya feel?
So I think it’s just nice to see them all slowly realising that they don’t really need to do that cus they all got each other now. They’re not on their own anymore, they have tons of people that they can rely on now. And now they HAVE to survive cus of,, mostly spite but also goddamit if they die then all these other idiots are gonna get themselves killed too.

AKA The easiest character for me to torment with illness 😷
A prime whumpee candidate.
I gave him a sprite edit for every basic illness known to man and made this category chart. I may have a problem. This sprite editing is addicting.

Shinigami you're not helping.
The lactose thing is just a headcanon. I've seen a lot of memes and shitposts with it and I was like, yes this is canon to me now
Shinigami just causally eating that ice cream right next to him to rub it in his face while he struggles to intake the milk, god what an asshole

Poor baby... ;-;
At least Shinigami has a non-existent warm beverage for him lol
Credit to this mini-fic for the nausea edit inspiration

Feel free to share your sick headcanons w me if you got any for him.

Ok so REAL QUICK COLLEGE AU marinette joins Lukas band as a lead singer to fill in for rose and juleka (for unknown reasons) and their first show is coming up. Luka and marinette built a lot of chemistry while spending time together during & after practice. Naturally, Luka falls in love with her. At the day of the concert, they’re on stage and she starts getting nervous and starts losing confidence. She quickly looks towards luka in panic but he’s already looking at her and gives her a gentle nod and that’s all the reassurance she needs. RIGHT BEFORE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SONG Adrien walks into the club to meet up with nino and alya (in this fanfic, nino and alya are already dating and Nino is the mutual friend that introduces Adrien to the group). As Adrien turns around to watch the band, the highlight of the song drops, marinette is all shining and smiling with confidence and slaying her song and happens to make eye contact with Adrien who is just like 😮😮😮 and is instantly mesmerized by her. And then after the show he begs alya and nino to take him backstage to meet the band but like he just wants to see marinette. The band and ninos group meet up, adrien starts rizzing up marinette, and Luka is watching all of this go down from across the room. And then the band’s keyboardist announces that he is moving away to study abroad for a year (coincidence? Convenience? Idc I’m not a writer lmao) and Adrien offers to fill in for them. Nino vouches for adriens skill so Adrien joins the band and then love triangle shenanigans happen kdrama-style :)
