Not the most egregious live action casting but they really just picked the first old white Brit with a mustache to play Yularen didn’t they I mean they look and sound nothing alike and I think that’s a shame

lol this is where I go ahead and say im a fake fan i didn't even know remember who that was from the clone wars because i liked the show but its not my favorite thing overall siodjaoidh

i mean im cool with old white brits being interchangable lol its a nice change from casting any person of color for literally any ethnicity that isn't european or like a wasp in the us XD

but i can see why people would be like ?? lol they are not the same picture, but honestly anon you caught me being a fake fan oijdaisodj

🐌🥳

"... but, I could watch this person's face forever."

MY PERSONAL WEATHERMAN (2023). Episode 1 -> Episode 8.

I was about to say, ugh, that's way too much all at once

but then I looked closer, and realised. That's the fucking job gauge.

YOOOO THAT REBIRTH TRAILER WAS AWESOME! THE GOLD SAUCER, AERITH SINGING, THE GIRLS SLAYING (okay that’s honestly not a surprise, they’re THE girlbosses of gaming) WE ACTUALLY SAW VINCENT, FIRST LOOK AT CID, AND MAYBE EVEN *THE* SCENE? LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

crying laughing @ this edition of le fantôme de l'opéra that my dad got me for christmas it's just. i don't know how to describe it. every page is a scan of a page of the 1926 edition, with like 1-2 inches of margin around it??? and the letters are so small and the scan is not of very great quality so it's kind of hard to see the words?? interspersed with scans of pictures but some of them are upside down??? there's one page where the scan didn't really work in the upper left corner so it's just totally black???

the back of the book says

Le présent ouvrage s'inscrit dans une politique de conservation patrimoniale des ouvrages de la littérature Française mise en place avec la BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE et la BNF proposent ainsi un catalogue de titres indisponibles, la BNF ayant numérisé ces œuvres et HACHETTE LIVRE les imprimant à la demande.

(my rough translation: This publication is in line with a policy instituted in conjunction with the BNF (National Library of France) for the conservation of important works of French literature. In service of this goal, Hachette Livre and the BNF are offering a catalogue of unavailable titles digitized by the BNF which Hachette Livre will print upon request.)

so like this is on purpose but i have so many questions. first of all why the margins. okay i guess that is my most important question. why not just make the book correspond to the size of the pages in the original? or, if the size of the book is fixed, you could at least size up the images to use as much of that wasted space as possible, no?

i want to say how ridiculous this is and how there's no market for it but there clearly is one because i asked my dad to get it for me! i'm the market!! i told him to buy this edition because it was the only french-language print edition i could find to buy in the us for less than $50 (outside of amazon because fuck amazon). but like, why is that the case? the full text of this book, in plain text which could easily and legibly be printed, is available for free on the internet. why isn't there some publisher who's just printing that out and binding it? seems easier to do than printing scans. not to mention a lot easier to read!!

(to see what i'm talking about, go to the hachette BNF webpage for this book and click on feuilleter to download a sample of the pages in PDF)

For everyone wondering why BCS episode 6x09 was called "Fun and Games": A reference to the famous 1962 play by Edward Albee "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" - a play about the breakup of a longtime couple that build their life together on a lie which ultimately comes crumbling down.

the urge to write an elaborate steddie historical tragedy AU only to write a reincarnation fic of canon vs. the amount of WIPs (unposted) that I have going on and dont need more of; FIGHT!!!

just saw these tags in my activity and?? hello??? there's like four (4) characters with names in the entire book????? does the nemo/aronnax tag on ao3 mean nothing to you

akd as lucifer (the mysteries)

finished season 2 of discovery. that felt VERY final but.... there are two more seasons???

GIRL HOW......

when you want to reply to comments from nine months ago but the account has been deleted :((

The scariest part of being in a relationship with someone who loves you and accepts you as you are in a way nobody ever had before is that you start really actually thinking about life with them. My ex and I talked about getting married and living together back then, but I don’t think I ever THOUGHT thought about what came after. Not the life impact and the cohabitation and what that really means for you both and the career aspects and the actual long term future. The man I’m with now makes me feel so safe and so genuinely loved that I’m like. Actually considering having kids with him one day. Like actual birthed-from-my-body children. Carried for nine months and pushed out in a horrifically painful process, definitely going to involve getting stuck with needles babies. I have never in my life even CONSIDERED that much less not been nearly sick at the thought. But this man makes me feel safe and supported enough that I might actually be ok having kids if it’s with him. What the fuck.

Scared

Tell me anything about Kit in college au

-she's a senior and a lit major, with a focus in literary studies

-her classmates think she keeps the most organized and neat notes of all time and they are half-right -- her notes are relatively in order (although she puts in a lot of additions with a lot of arrows pointing to things, and sometimes crosses things out because she only writes in pen, but she titles everything) and her handwriting is very nice but when she goes to study or work. everything gets everywhere. she can be found sitting at a table in a hallway corner surrounded by dozens of open books and notebooks and little pieces of paper from analysis ideas she didn't want to forget and wrote down on the most available surface (she always forgets she can write things down in the notes app on her phone. in fact she just forgets her phone in her dorm a lot) and her hair pulled back by a big claw clip that's missing like. four teeth and only still working through kit's sheer force of will because she's had the clip since she was 12 and likes it

bertrand, passing by: can i.....help you with anything kit: no. kit: but if you're going by the coffee shop, i could use a muffin, thank you.

-her favorite snack from the campus convenience store is a frighteningly cheap box of white and milk chocolates shaped like little dogs; expensive and dark chocolate gives her headaches

-she's in the radio club with haruki and bertrand. i have the feeling i can do something very exciting with this decision but i have not yet figured out just what

-she once fell asleep during class and found out she'd somehow still taken notes. she can't read them, but she took the notes.

The weird thing about ADHD is that I am so much more aware of things like time and prioritization than the average person, but I can’t tell if I’m actually skilled at them because my entire skillset is the result of intentional acquisition.

So yeah, I know all about goals and timelines (and timers and calendars and progress meetings) because unless I seek out external structure, my performance will completely fall apart. I calendared every single homework assignment at university with a color-coded spreadsheet that I updated daily and weekly. I know all about assignment scaffolding and goal setting and timers and breaking down a project into parts and periodically re-evaluating as the deadline grows closer. I know all about SMART goals and goals vs plans and tactics vs strategy.

But...uh...I’m not necessarily any good at prioritizing or sticking to schedules and meeting deadlines. I just know a lot about the how-to because I can’t “just do it” like many of my peers can.
