I aboslutly agree with you by casting steven as ricky it adds a more tragic twist to the star lasso experience scene,if it had been jesse plemmons i would have been less sympathetic but with steven i felt bad for him
steven could have played it menacing, he played menacing in burning and it was fantastic and a little hot. but instead i just saw like a lost child in adult jupe, someone just getting by in an industry that clearly never valued him as a person by literally putting him on the same entertainment level as a chimp or having him be the "asian kid" which i know from experience with the walking dead fandom or the years of people thinking steven is ke huy quan (i'm so serious)..... probably hits close to home for steven as an actor. and now he thinks he's gained an upper hand using the horses to feed his metaphorical chimp but just like with gordy, the balloons pop eventually. but i was thinking also about how jupiter's claim will become a spectacle again once the dust settles and jupe will have gone from child star to animal attack survivor to amusement park face to jean jacket victim to unsolved mysterious mass disappearance it literally never ends
how it felt watching the wolverine/deadpool honda odyssey “fight” scene
*sobbing* no bc you don’t understand Abuela is not a villain she’s traumatized she literally had to leave everything behind and watched people, including her own husband, die and then all of a sudden she got this miracle that literally moved the earth to create a safe haven for her so OF COURSE when she sees that the magic is in trouble she has trouble dealing with it because that’s been her stability for so long and OF COURSE when she sees it REALLY starting to weaken she freaks out and starts snapping at people because for all she knew, if they lost their magic, they could lose EVERYTHING again. The miracle LITERALLY created the mountains around their encanto, for all she knew, if the magic ran out, the mountains could have crushed them all or they would have disappeared back into the earth, it would leave them vulnerable again, and OF COURSE she still loves her family and Mirabel but of course she snaps at her bc she’s scared and doesn’t know what’s going on but she knows Mirabel is connected to it somehow and whatever it is was so bad her son LEFT and OF COURSE she pushes her family so hard to help the community because she has survivor’s guilt bc she wasn’t the only one who lost her home or her loved ones but she was the one who got the miracle so of course she feels like she has to earn it somehow and OF COURSE she doesn’t know how to help her children with their mental health bc she doesn’t know how to handle it, let alone handle her own, and it’s just so devastatingly HUMAN and I just- *ugly cries*
This is making the rounds on BlueSky, but I haven't seen it here yet.
Twitter is rolling out a "Recreate this with Grok" button directly on images now when you open them. Also, some people have experienced their artwork getting labeled as 'made with Grok'
I understand why some people have tried to stay but, please at the very least start transitioning your work to other places so at the very least you have a exit without hurting your finances too much.
Twitter is only going to become more hostile towards artists. It's full of poison and it's only a matter of time before it fully erodes.
The cruelty of racist white men.

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
this transcript of a percy shelley letter written to mary will remain the funniest thing ever to me because it’s so obvious that whatever happened at byron’s palace was torn out on purpose to protect all their reputations
Source: Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley, ed. Ingpen, vol 2 ——— p.s. the beach convo shelley mentions was turned into his poem julian and maddalo - as this copy mentions in the notes!
