American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!

Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

this women's day i'm thinking about all the women and girls who were tortured and killed for the crime of being jewish within reach of hamas, those that survived but were taken hostage to continue being tortured, every single woman who will never get true justice for what was done to them. the infants that will never see adulthood.

and i'm thinking about all the western women who cheered.

#g talks #antisemitism #happy women's day unless you're jewish #then you're life doesn't matter #depending on how useful you are to american leftists #and what other causes they deem important #'but palestine!!' yes i'm thinking about the people in gaza #keep that shit off my posts #i'm tired #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog #<- obnoxious goyim are getting blocked

still getting back into drawing. decided to tweak gavialter's design to reflect native brazilian culture more accurately. these are directly based on the pataxó body paint style and significance.

#arknights #gavial arknights #gavial #gavialter #gavial the invincible #my art #yes i am brazilian #for those still unaware #since a certain someone's post had people thinking i'm fucking *american* of all things and calling me monolingual #jackass.

Soooooo, if I didn't already make it clear yet, I'm head over heels in love with MK1's Syzoth. And now that his model is available for download, well, t'was only a matter of time before I did my thing.

And since Syzoth canonically cannot stomach human food, well, what better first hurdle for Outworld's newest emissary than having to stomach a whole LOT of it?

After all, our young Zaterran shapeshifter wouldn't wanna make a bad impression on other realms' delegates, right? ;)

#blender #blender sequence #syzoth #reptile #mortal kombat #mk1 #belly kink #belly bloat #full belly #overstuffed #belly ache #indigestion #nausea #burping #and yes i know i misspelled delegates in one of those panels #i ain't no emissary #i'm an american #that means i'm proud of my idiocy dammit!#cue the eagles and machine guns

SO. i was able to figure out the general structure of the script JLH leaked.

[explanation under the cut]

in order for all this to make sense, the first thing you need to know is that in north america all screenplays (scripts) are written in the same format

knowing this, we can deduce the general structure of the scene and even the length of some of the words

first we need to address the big question everyone's been asking:

are they talking about Bobby or Eddie?

screenplays are always typed in courier font, and in courier the capital letters B and E are identical at their left sides.

so while i enjoy people trying to figure out if the blurry letter in line 24 is a B or an E, the answer is it could honestly be either

where we really need to look is line one. the screengrab is blurry so i've outlined the word "going" and circled the area we should pay attention to

at first, the last letter of the prior word looks like an undistinguishable blob, but there is actually one key thing we can discern from it: the letter can't be y, it doesn't hang low enough

there is a chance that the word is not a name and is "he" which would not rule out Bobby or Eddie. however, that would mean the conversation goes on for at least 14 lines without mentioning "him" by name which is (heavily) frowned against in screenwriting. so chances are they're talking about Eddie

also, with what we know about the characters it's most likely Eddie. can you really see Bobby not talking to Buck because of... well, anything? and we already know that Eddie has a difficult time communicating. so i've decided to go with him for this script but haven't 100 per cent ruled Bobby out

moving on to the actual script itself, anything not highlighted in red is something i'm confident is either the exact wording or something similar. the red sections are the parts that i'm less confident in or know are incorrect somehow

Maddie's first dialogue block is the part i had the most trouble with. with context from the following conversation i figured that she probably asked something along the lines of when [Eddie] will be back at work. the main issue with this section is that the top line is actually six letters shorter than what i have written. this also means that the word that follows "going" has to be at least eight letters long. i tried messing around with the dialogue a bit but couldn't come up with something that would fit the appropriate letter count so for now i just wrote a line similar to what i think the actual line probably is

line six has to be either 12 or 13 spaces long and the first word has to be at least four letters long so i used "really soon" as a place holder, but i'm not completely confident in it

for line eight i initially had "Oh, that's good." but the line was one space short so i changed the "Oh" to "Hey" instead. i don't feel too poorly about this one but it still doesn't feel right to me. if the actual script says "Hey" i wouldn't be surprised if JLH changes it to something else or forgoes the exclamation completely

the final line is just a rough guess of what it could be. i'm not sure how formal the 911 writers are with action lines so i just took a random guess. some writers are extremely formal with action lines while others are more comedic with it (Neil Gaiman is a great example of this). i'm guessing the 911 writers are more the former but i honestly have no clue

#should i be working on my own screenplay rn instead of analyzing someone else's?#probably but i'm doing this anyway #if anyone wants any explanation on the other lines let me know #it's honestly just a lot of knowing how screenplays are written and knowing the 'rules' of script writing #911 abc #911 fox #s7 #911 speculation #911 spoilers #spec #maddie buckley #evan buckley #eddie diaz #bobby nash #OH and before anyone mentions it yes it is “on THE basketball court” not “a”#it has to be a three letter word #so my guess is they were talking about the bball court/game prior to talking about whoever buck assaulted lmao #since “the” is a more personal/less generalized word #also no americans come after me for spelling it per cent #i realized when checking it over that some of y'all might be little shits (affectionate) about it #long post

“You named a bee after me.” “For you, Watson, I’d make adjustments. Always.” “I'm so grateful that I fell into your orbit.” “The thing that’s different about me, empirically speaking, is you.” “I'm gonna miss this - not this, but...this. Working with you. I think what you do is amazing.” “I think you have a lot to share if you cared to. I shouldn’t be the only one who knows you.” “I will never allow harm to come to you - not ever. (’You can’t promise that.’) And yet I have.” “I now value the work we do, first and foremost, because I do it with you.” “We're two people who love each other.” “If you go, I go.” “I’m staying.”

#sherlock holmes #elementary #joan watson #sherlock #elementary really looked at holmes and watson's relationship and said:#'they are beyond definition and labels and it doesnt matter if its platonic or romantic or whatever'#but that they are soulmates and will always come back to one another #because they actively make each other better #and because they love each other #there's so much love and growth and respect in this version of holmes and watson #i love granada holmes but...i think elementary captured just how encompassing this relationship is #even more so - which is a FEAT #im just so sad that elementary continues to get zero recognition as a sherlock holmes adaptation #usually just because its american and bc watson is a chinese american woman #jonny lee miller and lucy liu gave peak performances as these characters and they deserve SOME RESPECT!!#anyway yes i rediscovered this show again NO i will never be normal about it #edit: added a few I forgot and I know there's MORE beautiful lines i'm missing

actually no i'm not leaving it in the tags.

there is a thread on twt (a small one at the time i'm writing this) talking about russian being the language of oppressors. don't support it.

first of all - newsflash but that's xenophobic as hell.

second of all - maybe we shouldn't actually judge people for their government's actions? maybe our fellow russian dream fans shouldn't feel excluded? i know, wild idea!

third of all - discriminating anyone based on the language they speak should not exist in the year 2023 and yet!

#and yes i know op is from the uk.raine #no it doesn't make it less xeno.phobic #yes the guy in the vid was dumb for singing the anthem and there is a discussion to be had maybe #but i am talking about the server and excluding russian here #i understand being scared and that a war is happening - i'm polish believe me i do get thay #but this is not the way.#this is bullying and discriminating people for something they have no control over #discourse #and no clowning in my inbox from americans/western europeans #thx

I feel like anyone who's about to embark on attempting to type out a character's accent phoentically (at least as well as one can with English) should probably stop for a moment before they get going and ask themselves, "How would I, myself, feel about a fic where the one character who sounds like me had their speech written out like this and every other character just got their dialogue left in standard spelling?" I feel like a lot of people would tone it down a bit, at least, if they'd done that thought experiment first.

(Anyone who answered "but I don't have an accent!" isn't allowed to write out anyone else's accent, ever. This rule may seem harsh but you need it. Really, you do. Because you've never had anyone treat your accent as abnormal or comical or wrong, so you really don't know what you're inflicting on others here.)

#writing stuff #have you read that fic where the socially prestige accent is the one being carefully typed out “like it sounds”? no? neither have i :(#the obvious note-for-Americans on typing out UK accents is that most of them carry some connotation of class and/or 'education'#within the uk: ask yourself why a Geordie gets typed out but not some dude from the Home Counties #typing out an accent is - usually - a roundabout way of saying “this person talks WRONG! they're not NORMAL!”#you may also find 'Scottish Twitter' informative for the distinction between in-group and out-group 'transcriptions' of accent/dialect #(i use that example only cos I'm Scottish btw)#(oh yes EVERYONE thinks I have an accent! and many of them attempt to replicate it badly in text!)#fun story: one time i had to learn the [IPA] for a linguistics class and the examples were 'standard' English pronunciations #and I went in the next day BAFFLED by why the book insisted that 'boot' and 'foot' don't contain the same vowel sound #(cos they fuckin do don't they?!)#the tutor explained and was v interested in the fact that to me they're the same. i was then asked to demonstrate again for the class.#but i - alas - was not offered repeated examples of however the fuck people say boot and foot in RP :(#(this was IN SCOTLAND btw)#anyway mibbe jist dinnae dae it? mibbe?#and if you do you have use the actual IPA. there now i've made it more trouble than it's worth for most people.
