Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.
tomgreggies can we please talk about the significance of tom calling greg after logan dies. that is beyond forehead kiss, beyond nero and sporus, beyond any of the fucked up shit they have done in the past. tom being the one to call the siblings, staying strong over the phone, telling them the excruciating details of their father's heart fucking stopping, watching his mentor literally die in front of his eyes, and holding it together. and then he calls greg, and we watch him say "i'm not okay," watch him shed tears for the first time all episode. he can't do it with shiv---he could never do it with shiv. and greg doesn't need to know the bullshit about tom's "logistics" folder, about cyd. it's not why tom called. tom called because he loves him in his own insane batshit crazy fucked up way but he loves him, he loves him and there's no denying it now and oh my god season 4 is going to destroy me
If you showed this to a person from a century ago he wouldn't be confused like yeah these are hot topics, you would have a totally normal conversation with him.
i know this is just because of the specific ways in which i personally am unwell but what's horrifying to me about jupe is like. what if the only shape your life can make is a circle leading you right back to the moment in childhood you've been trying to get away from as long as you've been alive. what if you were never going to end up anywhere else. what if the beginning determines the end no matter what happens in the middle
Ok but the fact that someone from the Heartstopper team had to reach out to someone from Taylor Swift’s team. Like hello yes queen goddess Taylor, may we please use one of your songs in our little queer Netflix show?
And then she said YES

I got asked a few weeks ago by pictosays if I had any tips for upcoming film students, now I’m nowhere near an expert but this is what I have come up with from personal experience.
Learn from the ground up You are in school for a reason, don’t walk in thinking you know everything because you made a film for A Level Film Studies, everyone did and people will get annoyed with you rather quickly.
Take risks University is the time to take risks in your work, you have a safety net, use it to your advantage.
Get experience Talk to 2nd/3rd years to get roles on set, they need some extra hands on set and you need to know how a set works in the ‘real world’. Also use your summer/weekends wisely, get an internship or some runner jobs at a production company. Hands on experience is invaluable and a foot in the door never hurt.
Be nice to your peers In film school more so than others you have to work in teams, it’s part of the industry and it’s a part of everyday life. Don’t make enemies you will regret.
Theory is important It’s one thing being able to make a film look nice but if the shot has no real relevance/meaning then it’s pretty useless.
Use Lynda.com I use this website all the time, it has detailed tutorials on all industry standard software. There is a subscription fee but most (mine anyway?) universities offer a subscription as part of the degree. (Also Avid is the industry standard for editing Feature/Hollywood films at least get your head around the workflow)
Be prepared to self-teach This is true of all subjects but in film somethings you just have to figure out yourself, you have to figure out your own workflow. So instead of complaining about it just get stuck in - you never know it could be fun.
Don’t get cocky about your specialism You want to be a director? Awesome, go for it but have a backup. Director isn’t the only job available and it also isn’t ‘the most important’. Film sets are nothing without all the other departments, learning how they work will do you no harm.
Watch films! Expected really but at times you get caught up in production, make time to go to the cinema or to re-watch your favourite film, remind yourself why you do what you do. Also expand your genres, watch the classics and go to experimental film festivals because inspiration can come from the strangest places.
That’s everything I have for now, it’s also good to remember my BA is more fine art film than feature/hollywood but the principles the same - play around, find your niche and work hard.
If you have any questions just drop me a message :)
Oh there is something so deeply and horrendously ironic about the fact that Shiv couldn’t be CEO. She couldn’t inherit her father’s kingdom. Her husband had to. The only way she can have it is by being a wife and a mother. Because that’s the only way a woman can have any power in the world her father created.
