youre so real for this
😭 like. yeah yeah fnaf is cringe but look man i was a kid when it came out. i was exactly the crowd and was fully immersed in all the hype and truly the early days feeling of community between the teasers and theories was like nothing else. probably the first time i was really Involved with something online and the in depth retrospective from somebody else who was lost in the sauce is just so compelling and nostalgic
#if u were interested at all in the og hype cannot recommend his series enough.#god i want the movie to be good so fucking bad the cast is perfect#its not exactly a hot take to say what a shitshow the series became so i really just want some good classic claustrophobic horror#dunk on the series all you want but its just wrong if you claim that first game didnt blow up for a reason.#my break ended like 10mins ago i just got heated thinking about feddy faber. i hate these games actually

"The studios thought they could handle a strike. They might end up sparking a revolution"
by Mary McNamara
"If you want to start a revolution, tell your workers you’d rather see them lose their homes than offer them fair wages. Then lecture them about how their “unrealistic” demands are “disruptive” to the industry, not to mention disturbing your revels at Versailles, er, Sun Valley.
Honestly, watching the studios turn one strike into two makes you wonder whether any of their executives have ever seen a movie or watched a television show. Scenes of rich overlords sipping Champagne and acting irritated while the crowd howls for bread rarely end well for the Champagne sippers.
This spring, it sometimes seemed like the Hollywood studios represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers were actively itching for a writers’ strike. Speculations about why, exactly, ran the gamut: Perhaps it would save a little money in the short run and show the Writers Guild of America (perceived as cocky after its recent ability to force agents out of the packaging business) who’s boss.
More obviously, it might secure the least costly compromise on issues like residuals payments and transparency about viewership.
But the 20,000 members of the WGA are not the only people who, having had their lives and livelihoods upended by the streaming model, want fair pay and assurances about the use of artificial intelligence, among other sticking points. The 160,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists share many of the writers’ concerns. And recent unforced errors by studio executives, named and anonymous, have suddenly transformed a fight the studios were spoiling for into a public relations war they cannot win.
Even as SAG-AFTRA representatives were seeing a majority of their demands rejected despite a nearly unanimous strike vote, a Deadline story quoted unnamed executives detailing a strategy to bleed striking writers until they come crawling back.
Days later, when an actors’ strike seemed imminent, Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger took time away from the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho not to offer compromise but to lecture. He told CNBC’s David Faber that the unions’ refusal to help out the studios by taking a lesser deal is “very disturbing to me.”
“There’s a level of expectation that they have that is just not realistic,” Iger said. “And they are adding to the set of the challenges that this business is already facing that is, quite frankly, very disruptive.”
If Iger thought his attempt to exec-splain the situation would make actors think twice about walking out, he was very much mistaken. Instead, he handed SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher the perfect opportunity for the kind of speech usually shouted atop the barricades.
“We are the victims here,” she said Thursday, marking the start of the actors’ strike. “We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. I cannot believe it, quite frankly: How far apart we are on so many things. How they plead poverty, that they’re losing money left and right, when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs. It is disgusting. Shame on them. They stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment.”
Cue the cascading strings of “Les Mis,” bolstered by images of the most famous people on the planet walking out in solidarity: the cast of “Oppenheimer” leaving the film’s London premiere; the writers and cast of “The X-Files” reuniting on the picket line.
A few days later, Barry Diller, chairman and senior executive of IAC and Expedia Group and a former Hollywood studio chief, suggested that studio executives and top-earning actors take a 25% pay cut to bring a quick end to the strikes and help prevent “the collapse of the entire industry.”
When Diller is telling executives to take a pay cut to avoid destroying their industry, it is no longer a strike, or even two strikes. It is a last-ditch attempt to prevent le déluge.
Yes, during the 2007-08 writers’ strike, picketers yelled noncomplimentary things at executives as they entered their respective lots. (“What you earnin’, Chernin?” was popular at Fox, where Peter Chernin was chairman and chief executive.) But that was before social media made everything more immediate, incendiary and personal. (Even if they have never seen a movie or TV show, one would think that people heading up media companies would understand how media actually work.)
Even at the most heated moments of the last writers’ strike, executives like Chernin and Iger were seen as people who could be reasoned with — in part because most of the executives were running studios, not conglomerations, but mostly because the pay gap between executives and workers, in Hollywood and across the country, had not yet widened to the reprehensible chasm it has since.
Now, the massive eight- and nine-figure salaries of studio heads alongside photos of pitiably small residual checks are paraded across legacy and social media like historical illustrations of monarchs growing fat as their people starve. Proof that, no matter how loudly the studios claim otherwise, there is plenty of money to go around.
Topping that list is Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive Davd Zaslav. Having re-named HBO Max just Max and made cuts to the beloved Turner Classic Movies, among other unpopular moves, Zaslav has become a symbol of the cold-hearted, highly compensated executive that the writers and actors are railing against.
The ferocious criticism of individual executives’ salaries has placed Hollywood’s labor conflict at the center of the conversation about growing wealth disparities in the U.S., which stokes, if not causes, much of this country’s political divisions. It also strengthens the solidarity among the WGA and SAG-AFTRA and with other groups, from hotel workers to UPS employees, in the midst of disputes during what’s been called a “hot labor summer.”
Unfortunately, the heightened antagonism between studio executives and union members also appears to leave little room for the kind of one-on-one negotiation that helped end the 2007-08 writers’ strike. Iger’s provocative statement, and the backlash it provoked, would seem to eliminate him as a potential elder statesman who could work with both sides to help broker a deal.
Absent Diller and his “cut your damn salaries” plan, there are few Hollywood figures with the kind of experience, reputation and relationships to fill the vacuum.
At this point, the only real solution has been offered by actor Mark Ruffalo, who recently suggested that workers seize the means of production by getting back into the indie business, which is difficult to imagine and not much help for those working in television.
It’s the AMPTP that needs to heed Iger’s admonishment. At a time when the entertainment industry is going through so much disruption, two strikes is the last thing anyone needs, especially when the solution is so simple. If the studios don’t want a full-blown revolution on their hands, they’d be smart to give members of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA contracts they can live with."

Sandman s2, confirmed news!
I see a lot of speculation on the topic, so as someone who has closely followed and confirmed information, I am comprising this thread of confirmed Season 2 leaks that I will update regularly.
This is inspired by @orionsangel86 rant, and I have no real following here for people to listen to me, but I hope this will allow the fandom to discover me as a Sandman creator.
All information has been thoroughly confirmed, and some of it was found by me. I will try to keep the chronological order:
1. Ruairi O'Connor is our Orpheus
Well...I don't have to explain, the man's face is on there, plus Melissanthi Mahut follows him on Instagram
2. Esme Creed Miles is our Delirium
Back in August, we suspected Esme Creed Miles had joined the cast of the Sandman as our Delirium when Lourdes Faberes posted this picture with this caption:
Soon after the entire cast followed Esme and since then have interacted and been in the same place multiple times including last week when Donna and Mason were filming:
3. Barry Soloane is our Destruction
His wife spoiled it, and he has it on top of his acting credits. He is followed by all of the Endless and Neil on Instagram, and they interact regularly.
4. Midsummer Night's dream is filmed/being filmed
As you can see from this leaked call sheet from the same day, the scenes included elves and fairies + the caravan + the people who asked what was filmed on their walk basically confirms Midsummer Night's Dream
5. Wanda and Ruby's characters are being merged and are being played by Indya Moore
We have no further information on the changing of storylines.
+ a lot of minor roles have been confirmed as well but those are of no vitality.
6. Names of six of the supposed 12 episodes have leaked
(In no particular order)
"Season of Mists"
"Brief Lives"
"Family Blood"
"The Song of Orpheus"
"The Ruler of Hell"
"More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold"
Source is WhatsOnNetflix (reliable source)
!!The next ones are speculations since we cannot confirm them but it is quite likely as timelines fit:
1. Ferdinand Kingsley has filmed the Season of Mists dream sequence
The only clue we have of that, is that he maintained a hairstyle similar to Hob's with a longer beard for a while and has recently chopped it all off.
2. Filming of "Season of Mists" in Brighton Pavillion on the 20th of February
According to eyewitnesses, the production was humongous, the extras and actors were dressed in gothic/mythical/monster/horror attire, which excludes the location from being Destiny's garden or have anything to do with the Family dinner, leaving Season of Mists as the most plausible conclusion
3. On-site location filming on Castle Arce in the week of March 15th
The Castle Arce area has lots of mazey parts, dare I say Destiny's garden, but that is pure speculation. (I just found these so I have not had the time to decipher them properly).
3. Destiny will be POC
I sincerely hope that to be true. The only semi-clue we have that suggests this might be true is the picture from Lourdes (above with Esme) and the fact that Adrian Lester is in the picture, but he is not part of the cast or seen in leaks anywhere. We hope for news soon.
That's it, folks.
Those are all leaks compiled in a comprehensive list to avoid further speculation. I will be updating the list accordingly and if anyone has questions, feel free to send them my way, I feel confident in all the ones that we have confirmed to be true.
Love,
Li

The Great Hellbound Railway
The Great Hellbound Railway is an expansive storyline that unlocks after your Persuasive reaches 175, and once you are a person of sufficient importance within London. These new additions expand upon activities and round out stations throughout the journey.
New Research Projects in the Jericho Library
"There are few pleasures greater than being in a library of one's own."
There are two new research projects available to everyone with a Library in Jericho! Return to the Oddlion Septagonal Reading Room to hit the stacks in pursuit of obscure knowledge and errant citations. Pursue forbidden histories of mutability and countervailing mysteries of the Elder Continent in the supreme comfort of your own library, and overturn popular scholarship in style.
These new projects are a permanent addition to the Library, and join the Hinterlands research project as always-available avenues of research.
Practising Law in the Courts of the Evenlode
"The traditions of the Evenlode are older than the courts in London, and the appointment of unconventional counsel is an expected part of proceedings. In fact, many here would be doomed to represent themselves unless you deign to offer your services."
You can now intervene in trials at the Courts of the Evenlode! You've been a spectator for long enough; it's time to wade into the fray and put your legal nous to good use. Defend rattus faber from the sticky fingers of local urchins. Prosecute the case of the Guild of Gondoliers against the Society Matron. Work out exactly what this Rubbery Man is being charged for, and how exactly he feels about it.
Pursuing justice in the Courts of the Evenlode is a permanent new activity, available to all players who have spent enough time in the Magistracy.
Story Additions to Burrow-Infra-Mump
"It is as though it grew in some other place where the colours are brighter and more vivid than our world can support. It is, unquestionably, a rose."
We've released a short new story in Burrow-Infra-Mump! London's ill-fated war against Hell casts a long shadow. Debts remain unpaid, relationships strain, and old obligations come due. A rose has appeared in Burrow-Infra-Mump; a curious plant of petal and bone that neither London nor Hell seems enthusiastic to claim. Cultivate it, or burn it to the ground, and learn of its relevance to the conflict of '68.
This short story is available to anybody who has completed the development of the church at Burrow, and starts via an Opportunity Card in Burrow-Infra-Mump.
It is also now possible to develop the old ruins at Burrow into a secular freehold. This is an alternate means of completing the station, and does not commit it to any faith or denomination.
New Artwork
Finally, something that you might just have gathered from this blog post already. Each station along the Great Hellbound Railway now has its own unique header art! New artwork joins the existing headers for Ealing and Station VIII, so keep an eye out for these new delights all up and down the journey to Hell.

You know, I really appreciate that The Critical Role cast appreciate their production crew and background staff so much that some of them end up being in ads or bits Dani Carr, Kyle Shire, Max Schapiro, Christina Faber, and Kirby to name a few. I just appreciate that they're clear they couldn't do this without the support of a bunch of equally talented people behind the camera. They might be the faces of the company, but they alone do not make this endeavor successful.

Click for full-size and better quality.
It's showtime!
In celebration of the movie, I decided to make a new header for my main account featuring the main cast (with bonus phone guy) in the style of the promotional posters.
\(^_^)/
There was a devastating moment as I was coloring and one of my main yellows dried out. It was then I received horrible news: Prismacolor, whose markers I use in almost all of my art pieces, was no longer selling individual markers. They hadn't been for the last two years, but thanks to my severe art block, I had remained blissfully unaware of this development until now. What's worse? They still sell markers.
Yep. They still sell them. In sets. Only in sets. And they only did this with the markers. Pencils still can be purchased individually.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
So now I'm slowly phasing out the Prismacolor markers for Copics. I like the yellows I got for Chica and Golden Freddy. Foxy and Freddy will be next, along with Phone Guy's uniform.
Pspspspspspsps. There's a lot more detail to see. Close-ups under the read-more.
Medium: Prismacolor and Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils, Faber-Castell and Copic ink pens. Touch-up work and background done in PaintShop Pro Ultimate.
November 25, 2023

Who is the voice of the female Deputy?
When I saw this question, I decided to try to find an answer.
I looked up all the actors listed in the credits, listened to their voices (in interviews, demo reels, or other videos), and… I’m still not sure who played the female Deputy.
While I usually find it relatively easy to recognize voice actors in French, my native language, it turns out that’s much harder for me to do in English. Also, it doesn’t help that they’re usually very good at changing their voice/accent and that, in real life, most of them don’t sound like the characters they play.
I still believe the person who played the female Deputy is also “Cult Follower Female 5” (CFF5), but it seems to me the actor used a different accent and tone so the cultist sounds a bit “villainous”. In any case, I didn’t find anyone that sounded exactly like the two characters…
According to my ears, though, the female Deputy and the female Captain from New Dawn have the same voice. Outside of cutscenes, the Deputy has 314 lines in Far Cry 5 (which you can listen to here, here, here, here, and here) and the audio files were all reused for the Captain. In cutscenes, so the “lines” that were specifically recorded for New Dawn, the character sounds exactly the same to me, which means the voice actor must have worked on both games.
I looked at the names that appeared in the credits of the two games and narrowed the list down to the 15 (+1; see below) likeliest candidates, so here are the people who, in my opinion, could potentially be the voice of the female Deputy, as well as, when the information was available, either in the game or on IMDb, which character(s) they played:
Claire Armstrong
Kailea Banka
Carolina Bartczak (Cult Follower in FC5; apparently not in FCND, but you never know)
Kimberly D. Brooks (Gun for Hire)
Nicki Burke (Cult Follower in FC5, Selene in FCND)
Lucinda Davis
Stacey DePass (Nana in FCND)
Amber Goldfarb (voice of Faith’s Priestesses, “Cult Follower Female 3”, and, I believe, Rae-Rae)*
Julianne Jain
Mara Junot (Sherri Woodhouse, “Civilian Female 6”)
Helen King
Erica Linbeck (voice of Anne, but also this and this)
Cynthia Kaye McWilliams (Resistance Soldier)
Debra Wilson
Kim Yarborough
Mayko Nguyen, who plays Kim Rye, was credited a second time as a “voice talent” in Far Cry 5, which implies she may have also played one of several NPC. Since she worked on New Dawn, she too could be the female Deputy’s voice.
Again, English isn’t my first language, and after spending two days listening to all those voices, everyone started to sound the same to me :’) If you’re a native English speaker and/or have a great ear, though, maybe you’ll be able to more easily solve the mystery! We can do it!
*IMDb says Amber Goldfarb played “Noodle’s owner” (the woman who called Ms. Mable for her pet snake) but the files tell me the voice is actually “Civilian Female 6”, so Mara Junot.
And under the cut, just in case, I included all the other female voices who appear in the credits.
FAR CRY 5
MAIN CAST
Beryl Bain (Tracey Lader)
Sarah Booth (Tammy Barnes and, according to IMDb, a “Civilian”)
Luisa D’Oliveira (Deputy Joey Hudson)
Jenessa Grant (Faith Seed)
Debra McGrath (Nancy)
Tasya Teles (Mary May Fairgrave)
VOICE TALENTS
Carolina Bartczak (Cult Follower)
Lauren Jackson (Skylar Kohrs)
Erin Mathews
Julie Nathanson (Jess Black)
Kristen Peace
Murry Peeters (Grace Armstrong)
Claire Rankin
Cara Ricketts (Dr. Sarah Perkins in FC5, Mickey in FCND)
Charlotte Rogers
Paula Shaw (Ms. Wilhelmina Mable)
Jane Wheeler (Adelaide Drubman)
PERFORMERS (I’m not sure they recorded voices and they apparently didn’t work on FCND)
Michela Cannon
Roanna Cochrane (Cult Follower)
Athena Karkanis
Karen Knox
Janet Porter
Melissa Robertson
Alyssa Trask
Brandi Marie Ward
FAR CRY NEW DAWN
MAIN CAST
Reina Hardesty (Carmina Rye)
Leslie Miller (Lou)
VOICE TALENTS
Rylee Alazraqui
Mary Faber (in the “Additional Thanks” section in the FC5 credits and in Lost on Mars according to IMDb)
Camryn Jones
Rachel Kimsey
Melanie Minichino (Gina Guerra)
Carolyn Ratteray
Marisha Ray
Nadia Verrucci
PERFORMANCE CAPTURE PERFORMERS (again, I don’t know if they recorded voices in FCND)
Ava Augustin
Tamara Brown
Jenny Raven
Ajanae Stephenson
Lydia Zadel (also credited in the “Additional Thanks” section in FC5 and a voice in Lost on Mars according to IMDb)
Good luck!
#if you need voice samples to help you you can request them on vohc#but this was harder than expected for me…#far cry 5#the deputy#the junior deputy#far cry new dawn#the captain#the security captain#we can solve this I believe in us!

reading gods worst article on tma (Narrating the (Queer) Gothic in the Podcast The Magnus Archives, Maria Juko) and its so bad that its funny. btw this got published in a book (Rethinking Gothic Transgressions of Gender and Sexuality, edited by sarah faber and kerstin-anja münderlein, 2024) and I can only assume the editors didn't listen to tma themselves because good lord what are these takes. come with me as I read this mess
strong start when it claims the entities seek to torture and destroy humanity. patently untrue. we know they have some sentience, but the focus on humanity does a disservice to gerry explicitly saying "you think people are so special its only our fear that counts?". also "destroy". how are you going to get fear if the entirety of humanity is destroyed. we know what the entities wanted (or at least what the web wanted) it is explicitly stated in mag 200. it says so right there so explicitly that I find it impressive if Juko missed it.
calls the beholding the antagonist? if you want to call Any fear the antagonist id go for the web, but even then, antagonist is not the role id ascribe to a lovecraftian entity
"with the podcast’s final season set in a world dominated by the Eye that Jon et al. ultimately overcome to save the world" / "The world comes to depend on [jonmartins] relationship, with the two of them becoming queer heroes." save the world??? heroes?
4. stupidly funny implications. interesting citation for georgie but that's not important right now. the point is the fight against evil and the reading alleging tma says being queer will get you Heroic Powers. Juko's forgetting about the queer characters that get Evil Powers (all of them. all of the powers are evil. that's the point.) did the archivist utilize ace and bi power when he became the lynchpin of the apocalypse and tortured strangers
5. "As a case in point, inclusivity starts at the level of casting: female police officer Basira Hussain is voiced by Frank Voss, who uses they/them pronouns." very true but idk. frank voss and jonny sims are just pals, ill allow Some implications from this but the author is using it to imply more intentional focus on inclusivity then I think jonny was doing
6. "First, the podcast’s main character, the asexual biromantic Jon, is bestowed with supernatural powers, challenging not just heterosexual but all sexual norms of society." BESTOWED? stop using the word bestowed here oh my God. he is not a superhero!! did Juko listen to the entirety of tma without any moral grayness happening here??? also ?? jons bestowed supernatural powers are in no way related to his asexuality & biromanticism??
7. christ. this isnt a bad tma take but it is reminding me why I wanted to quit my literature analysis bachelor
8. did jon utilize ace and bi power when he betrayed martin. did martin utilize gay power when he stabbed jon. jesus christ what do you mean humanity's salvation. the apocalypse isnt fixed at the end by the power of love.
9. i guess? if you felt like it? tma really isn't a queer narrative in my option but I guess?? you could read it like that. if you wanted to. I'm unsure if you should though because these people are deeply unwell
10. "And particularly in the first seasons, Jon and his colleagues often fail to control the evil entities, losing for example colleague Tim at the end of the second season, which leads to a rift between some of the Institute’s members" yeah because truly they were thriving before that. they were the bestest of friends before tim died. they all held hands and danced in circles
11. unsure how much longer i can take this. this isn't the X-Men
12. "[Jon] could be defined as an asexual biromantic who uses his love for Martin as a form of power to save the world." no he couldn't. next
13. "With this in mind, Jon’s exploration of the Archives becomes a metaphor for accepting his (a)sexuality." HUH. NO IT ISNT? jons asexuality isn't relevant narratively At All. go home.
14. for the love of god can anyone hear me. its so dark in here. were the beholding and jonah magnus asexuality allies when they helped jon become an avatar. the sentence after this calls jon the hero of the narrative again btw. patently untrue
15. "Only by accepting his power can Jon save the world." jon didn't save the world.
Juko discusses melanie & georgie but her takes on them are pretty normal and decent in my opinion. if anyone wants a pdf of this horror let me know & ill send it. I'm so annoyed I'm considering writing an email about this. btw it called jonmartin "enemies to lovers" trope and also said their relationship "starts heteronormative and changes to a more equal footing, whilst retaining heteronormative elements". about the gay couple.
to conclude: I don't know which podcast juko listened to about a heroic narrative about queer love that saves the world, but its not the magnus archives. did you know that the eye is an asexuality ally?

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

#like my first time actually lettin the characters b white..and if u read jus a lil bit of the book you’d see why#idk if anybody else in the book will be in the story more to have an actual actor in mind since I’m only on chapter 4#but these three fit..especially jake this is right up his alley#the silent patient#aaliyah’s reading

Pia! If you have the time / want to, can you break down where all the characters are from in Underline the Rainbow as a series? It'd be fun to see them laid out like that XD
Oooo, this does sound kinda fun!!
Okay so:
Falling Falling Stars
Efnisien ap Wledig (he really bears no resemblance to his canon counterpart)
Gwyn ap Nudd
Dr Gary Konowalous
Nate Prince
Janusz Bodanowicz
Kadek Setiawan
Crielle ferch Fnwy
Lludd Llaw Eraint
Christian Smythe
Michael Henton
Augus Each Uisge
The Ice Plague
Mosk Manytrees
Eran Iliakambar
The Golden Age that Never Was
Alois Flitmouse
Anton Valenosk
Vadim Osentsiv
The Nascent Diplomat
Ohlo Ohlo Temsen (here Temsen Ohlo Ohlo)
Radula Enris (here Enris Radula)
Original characters for this story:
Faber Castle
Caleb Crawford
Kent Williams
James Visser
Lucien Beaumont
Lachlan McGregor
*
I think that's everyone!! At least so far. This is very much an 'FFS AU' for me, especially since Gary, the main love interest, didn't exist prior to it. But it also pulls so many characters from that story, and two couples form two separate stories in this universe.
I may be bringing in other characters but I'm not sure when, at this stage. It's a pretty robust 'cast.' And it was really fun to turn two vench into humans!!
I was the most unsure about Caleb and Faber for a long time, I didn't know how people would feel about like another original romance, especially because I both really wanted to write it, and wasn't feeling Augus/Mosk in this as much as I was in Smoke in Autumn. But I'm really invested in Caleb and Faber, I like the challenges of their dynamic, and I think they have such an intense dynamic arc, even though several years of their connection is spent apart-while-working-together.
But yeah, it's definitely a multi-cast event! :D :D
#asks and answers#underline the rainbow#underline the black#TGATNW#the nascent diplomat#falling falling stars#the ice plague#it's been like really cool to suddenly realise that actually#i can write about whatever characters i want in something like this#it's an original world#and they're all my original characters#and it's like... in the past it was always like 'an AU of a single thing'#whereas this is like a massive crossover event in its own way?#idk how to explain it - it's been fun having the cameos lmao

@sake-chan wollte wissen, wieso ich denke, dass Rick beim Tatort aussteigt, deshalb kommt hier meine ellenlange Erklärung dazu. Die Theorien stammen nicht zu 100% von mir, sondern auch von @diethebosstasse <3
Man hat nicht ein einziges Mal was von Rick gesehen. Keine Kompars*innen und keine Nebendarsteller*innen haben ein Foto mit ihm geposted. Auch Steffi nicht und die macht das sonst wirklich IMMER, weil die beiden laut ihr wirklich beste Freunde sind. Auch auf den Insta Stories zur Drehschluss Feier war er nicht zu sehen.
Aktuell dreht er für den ZDF "Love Sucks", wo er eine dauerhafte Hauptrolle hat. Zwar könnte die sein Engagement in "Das Boot" quasi ersetzen, weil das ist ja jetzt vorbei. Aber wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass er zwei Hauptrollen gleichzeitig dreht?
Die ARD ist aktuell auf dem Spartripp, hat ganze Teams gekappt und mehrere Ermittler rausgeschmissen. Gut möglich, dass mit Rick dasselbe passiert ist, sofern er nicht selbst hingeschmissen hat.
Im Juli war Steffi in einem Podcast zu Gast und hat gesagt, dass ihre aktuell größte Angst ist, eine Person zu verlieren, die ihr sehr wichtig ist. Das hat sich nach einer Arbeitsfreundschaft angehört.
Looking at Fabers Stilveränderung in DBH, nachdem Bönisch gestorben ist, könnte mit Rosa in MIC dasselbe der Fall sein. Die sieht jetzt total anders aus - vielleicht, weil Jan in Cash stirbt.
Die Storyline könnte auch darauf hinweisen. Ich mag über keine Figur sagen, dass sie auserzählt ist, aber Jan könnte das vielleicht sein. Er hat Frau und Kind verloren und sich dem Alkohol gewidmet. Dann kehrt in Cash Abakay zurück und das Wettbüro, in dem Jan sich rumtreibt, hat mit Drogen zu tun. Hört sich schon arg nach schlechtem Ende an.
In der Episodenbeschreibung zu MIC steht zwar, dass Faber, Herzog UND Pawlak ermitteln. But honestly? Das wird Jan nicht tun, nachdem er in Cash noch total abstürzt. Außerdem wurde diesmal nichts über das Ermittlerdrama verraten. Die wollen eben nicht sagen, dass Jan stirbt oder hinschmeißt.
Ricks Name steht zwar auf Crew United und in der Presse im MIC Cast, aber das ist wahrscheinlich nur, um seinen Ausstieg erstmal zu vertuschen. Auf seiner eigenen Website unter News steht nix vom MIC Dreh, nur von Love Sucks.
Jana Giesel (Mia) und Angelika Bartsch (Britta) wurden ebenfalls noch nicht genannt. In den letzten Folgen stand im Pressetext immer, dass sie wieder mit dabei sein werden. Aber die beiden braucht man halt auch nicht mehr, wenn Jan in Cash verreckt. Generell weiß man diesmal Cast und Crew technisch nicht so viel wie die letzten Male und so wars bei Annas Ausstieg auch.
In einem anderen Podcast hat Steffi im August gesagt, dass sie "im letzten (Tatort)" sehr emotionale Szenen mit Rick gemeinsam hatte. In Love is Pain gabs quasi keine Herzlak Szenen, also meint sie sicher Cash. Spricht wieder für Ermittlerbeziehung aufbauen, damit der Tod dann noch mehr weh tut.
Gegen Ricks Ausstieg spricht natürlich schon, dass er selbst gesagt hat, er findet nix an diesem "Aufhören wenn's am schönsten ist" und, dass man wirklich sieht, wie viel Spaß er mit Steffi am Set hat. Aber das ist natürlich alles keine Garantie. Schon gar nicht bei der ARD.
Karl sagt zwar, vielleicht isser auf Rehab und pausiert nur eine Folge und das hoff ich auch, aber honestly... es sieht schlecht aus für uns :')

I find it disappointing that in 2024 people are still talking about Burton as if all the works for which he has been applauded were not really created, written, designed (both costumes and set design and make-up), filmed and scored by other people. Everything really dark and countercultural in his films comes from other people (who he left alone to work bc he didn't even show up to work and we he shows he do nothing). Burton is a traditionalist at heart. After all, it is not only evident in his choice of stories and cast (white, Euro and thin) but in his interviews, as when he said "as a film director you tend towards those fascist movements - somehow you relate on a personal level. Or something…" (Tim Burton on Burton, Faber and Faber, 2006). Burton at the end of the day, when we pay attention to him, is someone with a tantrum without a real revolutionary and disruptive idelogy in favour of the opressed ones. Guillermo del Toro is everything that Burton pretends to be, but for real and honest and better.
