Unfortunately, I'm not yet able to add links to direct you to the full review. The letters EMSP stand for " Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage" which is how long he spends on screen in a given movie. It is ordered from his highest screentime percentage to lowest. I hope this helps those looking for a new Ewan movie to watch!

Hey BTR fandom, I've been trying to find a place to download the original show all day and haven't been able to find one. Can anyone hook me up with the best way to get the episodes?

I've been watching them on a few streaming sites but the buffering is awful and I'd really rather just be able to save them.

I've already tried a few websites that allow direct downloads or Torrents but the archives are all old or they don't have the show at all.

Thanks pals

(also I'm aware nothing else is on this blog I promise I'm not sketchy I just didn't want to put this on my main blog and I wasn't using this one for anything)

I'm not an artist (I wish) but this seems like great info to spread regardless.

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

I want to use this but for Ewan character headcanons 🫣

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

love this clip so much. Can't believe I forgot about it :)

happy sunday :)

Segment of "Test Readings by Ewan McGregor for the Trainspotting Criterion Audio Commentary":

Hello, my name is Ewan McGregor, and welcome to the Criterion Collection special edition of Trainspotting. On this track, you will hear commentary from director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, screenwriter John Hodge and myself. These interviews were recorded in London during the winter of 1996.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND

For my birthday today I went on a shopping spree (idk if buying 7 clothing items at a thrift store counts as a "spree" but oh well lol) and I decided to quickly peruse the movie section. I restricted myself to only buying a movie if it was a Ewan one so that I didn't go over budget. I wasn't expecting to find anything cuz I was already at the bottom shelf and BOOM! I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!!!!!

I screamed! I couldn't help it! I was so surprised and excited that one of my FAVORITE Ewan movies was for sale!!!! Plus, this was one movie that I figured I'd NEVER find in store especially not on DVD. Hands down this single handedly made my birthday PERFECT! 🤗

Hello handsomest!! I saw it is (was/will be) your birthday ^^ and I wanted to come and wish you a joyful one, hope the love you give in this platform is given back to you in your daily, I've read some sporadic messages through and through and I wholeheartedly wish you are having a better time because I genuinely think you deserve the happiest of seasons in this life, sorry if my message doesn't come through or feels too flat, english is not my first language, but I mean to say I hope you're having a great happy birthday today and any other birthday, any other day in general actually, please take care<333

oh my gosh, thank you so much friend! 😭 You don't realize how much this meant to me. I greatly appreciate the well wishes. I've been feeling very down and invisible lately and your message brightened my spirit. All the love to you! ❤️

thank you so much! You're too sweet! 🫂

It's my best friends birthday (late/early idk) wanted to make him a birthday post since he's the most kindest person I've met.

He will listen about your day and yap with you.

He will give great advice. He will even do everything so you never feel alone. He is my favorite person in the earth ever (well Olivia is first lol )

Also when I came out as trans he was supportive.

So wish him birthday wishes . Thank you so much for bringing purpose to my life you are my best friend I'm glad you where born.

25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025

Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality

Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway

Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups

Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay

Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward

Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient

Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative

Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!

Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community

DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!

Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?

Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.

Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability

Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough

Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing

Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work

Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market

Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question

Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them

Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area

Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...

Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable

Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact

Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive

Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people

Technically a companion piece to this.

Hey y'all

As some of you may know, I was recently kicked out of my house. I'm okay, and I have a place to stay right now, but it is not going to be easy. This is a GoFundMe post, and although I would appreciate donations you DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE. I hold absolutely nothing against people who can't give me money, especially because I know a lot of y'all are teenagers lol. I don't expect to reach the donation goal at all, I just decided on a somewhat arbitrary number that would let me cover all my basic payments for a few months.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to those that celebrate!

I don't own green clothes but I didn't want to run the risk of getting pinched today so I made a pinch immunity necklace last night lol

My coworkers liked the pun

very pleased with it. It served me well. 😎

Today was GREAT day. I feel amazing and so happy. It really feels like things are looking up. ❤️

I'm so tired of boring t-shirt designs, let's bring back weird and unique merch items!! You can have my ideas, guys, just don't try to sell me another $60 black hoodie I beg of you

i must not kill myself . killing myself is the myself killer

Last night there was a part in my dream where I was watching a Danny Gonzalez and Drew Gooden YouTube video. I don't think the video was actually public though. It was like I had access to their b-roll footage and stuff cuz they would say something or do a bit and one of them would say "wait, let's try that again." and they'd retake the shot. I was very excited to witness their process of creation. It just felt so personal.

During filming, Danny had a drink on the desk that he would occasionally sip from and Drew, whether accidentally or intentionally, ended up also drinking from the same straw. The boys found this hilarious, though unhygienic, and Danny wanted Drew to do it again but remarked that only his son drinks after him because they're family. Drew responded by saying it was okay because they're family too. They're boyfriends (jokingly referencing the fanfiction video). Danny corrected him saying, "actually we're married." They were giggling hard and kinda blushing. That's when I started to suspect that what Danny had been drinking the whole time was beer and he, and possibly Drew, were tipsy. I think Danny said something like, "since we're married we should kiss, that way we don't have to worry about sharing germs." At this point, they had scooted much closer to each other and Drew had one arm around Danny's chair. Again, the pretense was that they were joking around but I couldn't help but feel that they had forgotten a camera was recording them.

They started "pretending" to almost kiss. And I put pretending in quotes because by now, I was certain that the joke was over. The only thing stopping them was that they had wives. Their faces were really close to each and they kept whispering something that I unfortunately no longer remember. Drew would cup Danny's face, lean in, then pull away at the last second blushing and giggling. Then Danny would would stroke Drew's cheek and do the same. It was like watching a game of chicken. I could see their minds working overtime trying to decide if they should go through with it or not. The footage abruptly ended on a shot of them centimeters away from brushing lips.

Funny enough, none of this phased me. I just shrugged and figured if they haven't already, they would work through feelings eventually.

I have a reason to live! I HAVE A REASON TO LIVEEEE!!! 🥹😭

I loved this scene. I could smell the joke coming a mile away but it was still so cute 😁

Ewan McGregor fans assemble!

I NEED to get my dash looking like I woke up in Ewan McGregor heaven. I can't take only seeing posts that invoke all out panic and despair. I get it. I GET IT! We're all gonna be murdered and select rich white people will finally live their 1950s wet dream and there's nothing we can do about it. Is it too much to ask that I at least be able to read some quality Ewan fanfic as shit hits the fan? What about headcanons of an obscure character? Where are pictures of his handsome face? Think-pieces on an underrated movie? We need a Titanic "and the band played on" moment but it's just all the Ewan McGregor fans sending memes and gifs and whatnot. Please for the love of GOD, I need some happiness 😫

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD!❣️ Once you are given this award you're supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people you adore! Absolutely no pressure but. It's sweet to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out <3
