“Do. Not. Touch.”
————
Summary: Rumple has been working in his office for days (2 hours) and you’re dying to get his attention even if it means being disobedient…
Note: this one is more fluffy to give me a starting point to write from haha😂
“Now, what did I say?”
Rumple was on the verge of multiple magic deals, some of which would allow him to torment his enemies… making the matters all the more pressing. He’d set you up with snacks, blankets, a movie— but you had one job.
“You said I am supposed to sit here and watch the movies until you come out of your office.” You sighed.
“Very good dearie, and?”
“And I’m supposed to take my vitamins after the second one.”
“Excellent. Now, I’ll be out in a few hours. Oh and (y/n)?”
You looked up.
“Don’t touch anything up front. You don’t know what they do and I don’t want you getting hurt.” He was firm in saying not to do it…
Soon enough he left to go to his office.
That gave you enough time to watch 10 minutes of the movie, get bored, and go knock on his door.
“Yes dearie?” He answered.
“It’s lonely without you.” You pouted.
“I have to work, little one. I’ll be out in a couple of hours.” He patted your back and turned you toward the living room again.
You huffed and went back to sit down. Another 15 minutes went by… then another 15. At the 2 hour mark, you were certain his absence was going to end you.
Your juice boxes had run dry, the gummy wrappers were scattered in the floor… and you now had a serious desire to get his attention.
You walked back to his door and heard him talking to people, which you shouldn’t interrupt.
So, like a good little one, you went to the shop to do the exact thing he told you not to- but at least you wouldn’t be bored.
You got your hands on crystals, trinkets, tools, anything you could find. It was going remarkably well until you heard a voice.
“Do. Not. Touch.”
It was Rumple.
“I gave you very specific instructions dearie, but you disobeyed me.” He was suddenly right behind you. “Do you want to tell me why?”
You shook your head.
“Nu, tank you.”
“That wasn’t a request.” His voice was a bit more stern.
“Mmmm nu don wan tell why. Tank you.” You tried to grab a few more trinkets and run away, but soon you were caught in his arms.
“Well then dearie, I suppose you won’t mind going to time out until you feel like talking?”
You instantly transported to a corner, with Rumple standing behind you.
“Now, you’ll stay here until I get everything back where it’s supposed to go.”
You huffed but agreed, though a few minutes later you did feel a little guilty for disobeying him.
“Okay little one,” he came back. “We’re gonna do write-offs so we learn better for next time. Do you know what you did wrong?”
“Mmm tell daddie um not wan talk bout bein bad…”
He raised his brow at you.
“An be bad in first place”
He smirked. “Exactly. Now…”
A crayon and paper appeared in front of you.
“Okay, I want “I will obey daddy” 10 times.”
You pouted.
“(Y/n?)” he raised his brow again.
And of course you did as he said. You liked to make him happy, but write offs weren’t enough to make you not do it again the next time you wanted his attention ;)

Warner Discovery strikes again with news of a Tax write off most specifically another Scooby-Doo movie. "Scooby Doo and The Haunted High Rise" which was going to feature the Hex Girls. It just needed to be animated but that's when executives decided to write it off. I said my thoughts on Tax writes offs several times on Twitter They need to have laws regulating them, they are unfair to the people who work on said media, they take away value from a studios library, they should be straight up illegal ECT. But one other thing that bothers me is that when I tried too look into other shows & movies written off for Taxes all that comes up is news of Warner bros Batgirl & the Scoob Sequel. I know they did some before with Symbiotic Titan & Megas XLR, but what about stuff not from Warner bros they can't be the only studio that does this right? So far the only none Warner media I know that was wrote off for Taxes was an old horror film called Corpse Eaters. I don genuinely want to document media this has happen too but it's like finding needles in a hay stack. Links to the list.

🟦⛔⛔🟩 We have the most complete list available online of ~60 #DisneyPlus and #Hulu Originals Disney is removing on May 26 . Plus, additional catalog titles set to leave: almost 100 gone. $DIS #DisneyPlus #Hulu
The news broke courtesy @DisneyPlus_Actu on Twitter a few days ago. In that time, he was forced to remove the information by Disney+ France. Now, 2 days later, all major entertainment news sites are reporting it. Initially, they were reporting 27 titles set to go. I am thrilled and tickled to say that after reaching out to them they are slowly updating their lists to reflect the…

Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē
[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.
Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.
He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.
He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.
Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"
"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.

Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.
I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.
Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.
No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.
But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

After 146 days, the Writer's Strike has ended with a resounding success. Throughout constant attempts by the studios to threaten, gaslight, and otherwise divide the WGA, union members stood strong and kept fast in their demands. The result is a historic win guaranteeing not only pay increases and residual guarantees, but some of the first serious restrictions on the use of AI in a major industry.
This win is going to have a ripple effect not only throughout Hollywood but in all industries threatened by AI and wage reduction. Studio executives tried to insist that job replacement through AI is inevitable and wage increases for staff members is not financially viable. By refusing to give in for almost five long months, the writer's showed all of the US and frankly the world that that isn't true.
Organizing works. Unions work. Collective bargaining how we bring about a better future for ourselves and the next generation, and the WGA proved that today. Congratulations, Writer's Guild of America. #WGAstrong!!!

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.
#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME#there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing#and the writing is what i need to be doing#writeblr#this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to#edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol#i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!!#my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means#i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her)#hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong#i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet.#i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse#i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!!#i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO#i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness#and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it#im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us#i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer#and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art.#i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work#even if it means being miserable#but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

Paramount plus removed content might be a red flag.
So recently  Paramount plus just removed the critically panned Fairly OddParents live action spin-off Fairly Odder. On Twitter it’s basically RIP Bozo, but considering that it was also removed from Nickelodeon’s website & reportingly also digital stores it sounds eerily similar to the HBO Max purge. I wanna remind everyone not all of the removed HBO Max shows where tax write offs but even with that said we there isn’t any other way to watch Fairly Odder (Legally) outside of some YouTube videos still up from Nick & Paramount. And in the event this is a tax write off situation what’s stopping Paramount from just stopping there? Nickelodeon is infamous for axing show within a mere 2 seasons and if they get trigger happy they who knows what’s gonna get banished to the shadow realm? And if the Tax write off thingy spread to Paramount then what about other studios doing the same like Universal or Disney? 
Again we don’t know if it’s a Tax write off for sure and sure might as well be a lousy continuation of a dried up franchise. And also I know writing off media for taxes isn’t a Warner bros exclusive thing (Although trying to find any other media that was not from Warner bros is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack) but I really don’t like this idea of tax write offs being a scapegoat for entertainment companies to make some more money.

Au where Damian comes to Gotham with the goal of infiltrating and eventually overthrowing Batman instead of inheriting the mantle. Not much changes from canon except for the fact that he views everything that batman owns as his. That's his future cave and his future batmobile. This also includes his robins. After all everyone knows Batman wouldn't really be Batman without them.
Cue a very bewildered Tim being lectured on his eating habits by a righteous Damian who won't let one of his people take shortcuts with their health.

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."
