I've seen a lot of takes on sag joining the strike go by. Some focus on the fact that most actors are in fact not big names being paid big bucks so don't let the studios fool you. And yes very good, don't trust company propaganda.
Others talk about the less frequently mentioned (and more challenging) take that every actor, and writer too, deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Yes even if they are the big names who have already been paid bigger bucks. Excellent, love to see workers' solidarity and people learning the difference between well paid and hoarding money indiscriminately.
But the one I so far haven't seen mentioned, is the fact that you in fact want the big names with the big bucks there. You need them to join in. They add the weight, the leverage and are harder obstacles to ignore.
Let me put it this way.
Sag and wga members are the army besieging the castle and the big names are the trebuchets ready to fuck shit up.

Still coming to terms with the fact that this 5th video is going to be our longest video to date when it's done and I think that's pretty neat.

One of my morbid fascinations is mourning customs around the world.
I know that in the West it's mostly silent and solemn. Quiet respect for the dead.
The people of my motherland prefer to howl loud enough for the dead to hear.
I personally have always been a quiet mourner. Then again, it might have a lot to do with my reluctance to draw any attention to myself at all times. From the living and the dead, I suppose.

☽ Late night musings - Melkor, Mairon & commitment ☾
While we know and love Angbang for explosive and passionate romance and chemistry, I think you can also tell a lovely tale about commitment with it.
Let's face it: Melkor can be pretty annoying and chaotic so you gotta make this work, especially if you're an order-obsessed control freak like Mairon is (affectionate). They have to learn what their boundaries are and teach the other to respect it.
What they do have going for them in that regard is that Melkor actually appears to be willing to give Mairon at least some trust and respect and let him handle things on his own, which I think is key to the success of their relationship (be it romantic or platonic) because Mairon is one of, if not the most independent Maia who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Imo he absolutely would've left Melkor and gone back to Aulë/moved on to another Vala if he hadn't gotten what he wanted (and what Melkor promised him) out of their relationship.
It's always been interesting to me how this seems to be the one instance/one of few where Melkor puts in at least enough effort on his part to keep up his end of the bargain. I'd even go as far as to say that Mairon managed to rein him in a bit because, as we all know, Melkor's little kingdom of evil would've collapsed much sooner without his help.
I know, I know, shipping glasses and all that (sue me lol), but another reason why I think it's interesting to consider that the relationship between Melkor and Mairon is surprisingly positive compared to how they treat other people - even if you adhere to strict canon only - is that the existence of such interactions with others strengthens the narrative that no one and nothing is born evil and everyone is at least theoretically redeemable, which is quite important to the legendarium as a whole.

One of the things I really appreciate in Picard S3 is how the season slowly gave back Voyager to Seven. I get why they didn't in season 1 of Picard and only mentioned Voyager and her Voyager family obliquely -- Seven barely knew the people in La Sirena, and there's no impetus for her to share. The subtlest of nods was a good way to kick it off.
Season 2 has willingly said Janeway's name to Raffi and the context of why she wasn't in Starfleet.
By season 3, Seven is surrounded by the spirit of her old family. The best visual indicator of it all was the silver Voyager Model Seven kept prominently on a shelf in the anteroom of her quarters.
From BTS we also see Tuvok has the same one, and from this, we can infer all Voyager crew have their own models. (I would give them real money if they would sell that Voyager model too!).
It also means wherever Seven was all through the years with the Fenris Rangers Seven carried this tiny Voyager ship around.
In Prodigy Vice-Admiral Janeway has her own Voyager model, but of course, she's not going to be satisfied with a tiny model.
Keeping Jellico in the photo for the Voyager scale.
And of course, the scene in the Fleet Museum:
Featuring the Grand Old Lady herself, USS Voyager. (Hello, Voyager!)
Ends with a proper reunion with Tuvok, the only person other than Janeway who was there for Seven since the beginning:
I missed seeing them together -- and look at both of them now, in Command Red.
Janeway was the only missing element with an unfortunate thing of production and time getting in the way of Kate Mulgrew being around, as I understand it, she splits her time living in Ireland and the US (I could be wrong!) -- it's also one of the reasons I dearly hope we get a new show with Seven as the main lead. Because I selfishly want Janeway to appear and possibly give Seven her Captain's pins.
I know Jonathan Frakes expressed his wish that Riker be the one to hand out assignments to Seven, and it would make sense if he becomes a newly minted Vice-Admiral. Since Janeway might be higher up in the Command chain at this point.
But I still want Janeway to be the one handing out crucial assignments to Seven and the Ent-G.
So, yeah I hope we get that show but also I'm really glad this season finally brought Voyager back to Seven. It was her home.

Fool's Fare Jake has a major pain kink. Loves when Guppy sinks her teeth into his skin, hard enough to leave behind indents. He makes the prettiest little gasps and moans, eyes glazed over and jaw slack as he watches her. He whines when she rakes her nails down his stomach, the muscles there flexing as he arches up into her. His hands are gripping onto her hips so tightly, and he's begging for her to give him some relief.
They're not even to the main event yet. All they've removed is his shirt at that point
#ff#fool's fare#late night musings#anyway i'm going to bed#he loves riling her up#let's her have control for a little bit before flipping her over and fucking her til she can barely speak

I will simply never understand why people like characters that are completely unrecognizable from how they're characterized in the original media.
#just general musings#as someone who gets invested in characters from the source material or not at all this concept is so foreign to me#and i dont mean taking them and altering a thing or two or putting them in an AU#but like if the original creator cant sell me on a character theres 0 chance im joining that fandom to tinker w them to a point where i am#maybe im just weird#late night musings

when zora told us that if we are silent about our pain they will say that we'd enjoyed it . . . when lewis told us to press on and make good trouble . . . this is what they meant . . .

For your consideration: Pearl panics when she gets cold because of lingering DL trauma. (Powdered snow, yippee!)
In Secret Life she wakes up with a start because she accidentally kicked off her blankets and woke up freezing. She goes to check on the Mounders to make sure they're still there and she's not alone.
And maybe they have a cuddle pile where she can make sure they're all warm and safe. That's all she needed really, a little warmth.

So I stay a little longer, hoping you might change and confess to me that all this was love.

☽ Late Night Musings - The Halls of Mandos ☾
My personal take on Mandos is that it's a place of limbo, not heaven, hell or any sort of afterlife really.
For Men (including all mortals), that's already a given due to the fact that they don't permanently stay in Mandos and move on to an unknown place outside the circles of Arda. For Elves, it's the case because they weren't meant to die in the first place and the goal is to get them reembodied eventually; the same applies to Ainur. For Dwarves, it's their belief that Aulë gathers them in a different part of Mandos and they'll eventually aid him in rebuilding the world and receive a place among the Children of Ilúvatar.
(For Orcs as well as any other creatures who possess fëar, it can be assumed that they would also be called to Mandos and be met with a fate either like Elves or Dwarves, though we don't know any details. I have headcanons about the fate of Orcs in particular, but that's a story for another time.)
While Mandos is very much a place that physically exists and can be visited - even entered, though I would guess that Námo probably doesn't allow the living to come and go as they please - I think that it's also a spiritual place similar to/possibly located in the same plane of existence as the Unseen Realm and the Olórë Mallë in Lost Tales, and that the experience of those who come to Mandos in spirit after death is rather abstract and varies from soul to soul.
The purpose is not just to be judged if you have done great evil throughout your life, but more importantly self-reflection and healing, and each soul goes on their own individual journey.
For those who were good people in life, accept their mistakes and are ready to make peace with themselves and others, Mandos is a cozy, comfortable place where you may in time find loved ones, have a chat with Námo, Nienna, Vairë and their Maiar, admire the tapestries and rest. For those who committed great evil and are refusing to let go of their anger and spite, however, Mandos appears like a labyrinth or prison that they can't escape from. The key to their way out is not only Námo's judgement, but also - and this will influence his decision - the state of their being and the amount of healing they need, as well as any others they might have wronged.
It may be that this entire journey is like a dream, from which you will in time awaken to find yourself face to face with Námo for one final time - for he, his family and his servants may have visited you already a few times to offer guidance, wisdom and perhaps one or the other harsh truth - and hear his judgement.
For Men, he has no power to hold them and will always send them beyond the circles of the world. For Elves, he will offer them to return to life in Valinor, safe for the ones whose crimes and/or lack of repentance warrant a longer stay; the procedure for slain Maiar, provided they heeded his call, may be similar. For Dwarves, he will let them take their place among their ancestors and relinquish them to Aulë. Orcs may or may not share the fate of Elves.
