came across this photo and like... zendaya looks incredible. she looks like jlo

but tom looks like jason bateman if jason bateman was trying to catch you to tickle you and/or eat you alive

i love how i'll get fixated on a character and then start saying shit like "awww he's such a lil guy! a lil fella!!" when the "lil guy" in question is a grown 30-40 year old man with visible facial hair and wrinkles and pores

for example: peppino spaghetti

love how anthony basically said he doesn't have an iphone face. it's funny because i've seen people describe the mota main cast as dudes who look like they would ghost you on bumble which is funny but i think casting did pretty well (even if they don't look like their real life counterparts), what do you think?

as far as looking like their real-life counterparts, the cast ranges from Very Similar to That's A Whole Different Guy. when it comes to the main cast, raff law as ken lemmons and callum turner as bucky egan are close to the "Very Similar" end of this hbo war spectrum (tho no one's ever gonna be as Dead On as ron livingston's lewis nixon imo). on the other hand, the real life harry crosby was quite fair-haired (probably dark blond/light brunet) while anthony boyle is very much Not That.

also, iphone face is soooo subjective imo. i worked in an archive over the summer, handling old photographs ranging from the 1890s to the 1940s, and you wouldn't Believe how many people back then have that stereotypical "iphone face". to the point where they sometimes look out of place lol. (see: robert deniro as a kid). or, i'd see people who don't necessarily look "out of place", but they looked familiar enough that they'd probably blend right in today. so, to me, a lot of the cast members (barring more obvious outliers) blend in well enough. to me, at least!

anyway, check this guy out! (i nicknamed him 1910s barry keoghan while at the archives):

Zionists love to be like well Jewish people are indigenous to Israel! Like LOL u colonial weirdos have no idea what being native means do u. It doesn’t mean “my far back ancestors were at one point originally from here”, it means a place is you and your peoples home. the logic of “indigenous identity” zionists have would also mean then that Cajuns are indigenous to Canada. Natives were (probably) not the first people to be in the Americas, migration happens all the time and used to happen freely a lot more! We also probably came from somewhere else and ended up in the Americas. We don’t have some fucking magical ethnic connection to the land, we just lived here for millennia and over time developed our own cultures and traditions and tribes and communities and homes. That’s it. The only reason Native identity has all this mysticism around it, is because at some point white settlers came, decided they were owed the land, decided they didn’t want us there, and killed us.

Notice that if I take that paragraph and make it about Palestinians it’ll still make sense, but if I make that about “israeli” settlers, it won’t? Yeah. Stop co-opting our movements.

i need people who have never been anorexic or just straight up dont remember what its like for whatever reason to shut up about it forever because literally it changes the way your fucking brain works . when its really bad its literally the only thing you think about its wholly obsession literally the only thing you think about is your weight / measurements / how you look and how many calories your eating or burning and you literally cannot help but humblebrag about how your killing yourself and everyone is competition . and people act like youre just some bigot who hates fat people if you show symptoms or talk about it ever even if you were also a direct victim of fatphobia . i am not joking when i say they need to add looking at th*nspo or running an ed blog to the fucking dsm there is a reason its so widespread IT IS A SYMPTOM . and everyone acts like its just Disorder That Makes You Fatphobic and that its mental illness lite or mental illness only white cis women have when thats not even true and it is the mental illness with the highest mortality rate

When you're trying to find content of one of your favorite shows, there's barely any, and the majority you find mischaracterizes the fuck out of all of the characters

“The denarius (silver), which bears an image of a younger Caesar on the obverse and Caesar, Joshua Graham and Bill Calhoun on the reverse…”

Your like actually lying to me

watching a bunch of shitty movies js bc the random man of the month is in them

Why is it so exhausting to update commission prices

Genuine question because I don't go to a lot of concerts nowadays. How many artists give a shout-out to their children like that? There wasn't even a smooth segway between the songs. In the end it got the intended attention.

Misha collins may not have the most stereotypically or universally attractive front face profile but his 3/4 and side profiles remain undefeated and I don’t think this is arguable

All right I did it I checked out the one piece live action. I've never seen one piece. This might drag me into the huge ass anime. (I might read the manga in japanese but that's more a For Practice reading choice thing)

Anyway koby is my guy. Koby paralleling and contrasting Luffy is <3 and it's gonna hurt I imagine

Much more to say later lol. I still have a couple eps to go

And of course. Obviously but. Either Netflix is gonna have to Not Cancel or another studios gonna have to buy this right cause like... I doubt the creator is gonna want a dead end 1 season live action when the manga and anime are still ongoing for Over A Decade

You asked for a fic rec so I’ll toss this one at ya: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46767358?view_full_work=true Stick through the formatting for the characterization, tone, and really the whole vibe of this fic. I haven’t been able to get the bathroom call between Daigo and Majima out of my head for weeks since I read it with how naturally it all flows. My own little Daigo characterization booklet to review when I feel like I need a refresher on him.

so I may have stayed up until 6am reading this (would’ve slept earlier but I couldn’t stop reading it) and hgggahaghhhhaggahshhhhhhhh that was one of the most well-characterized fics I’ve ever read what the fuck. like the differences in how each character speaks (both tone-wise and in differing levels of authenticity) and how they speak to specific others (the daigo and majima dyanmic specifically- how they actually take into account how long they’ve been working really closely- SO good), the mental anguish and chaos vs the overwhelming emptiness of being daigo dojima but no longer The 6th Chairman Daigo Dojima……….I could keep going but I think you get it.

tbh I’d been wanting to write something exploring a similar set of dynamics/situation (post-kiryu’s fake death, interactions with haruka, daigo, and/or majima specifically, reflecting on his shortcomings while acknowledging the heavy Grief left behind) but now I’m like. well I still could but this was so well written in regards to daigo and haruka that, as far as something between those two goes, I don’t feel the need to.

thanks for the recommendation! my brain is broken now (affectionate)
