When you’re on a date with someone you thought had good potential and they drop the line “well, there’s no reason you couldn’t change the gender of Legolas, it would have no real impact on the story…also Tolkien was problematic as a writer”. 🤦🏻♂️
I dunno how you straight lads do it sometimes 😉
Overheard a couple in their late 20s having an intense argument at an airport lounge yesterday.
They have $60,000 saved up between them.
The guy wants to put $50,000 toward a down payment on a duplex to lock in housing security before starting a family, and spend $10,000 on an intimate backyard wedding with close friends and family.
She refused: “I am only getting married once. A $10,000 wedding looks cheap on social media, and I’m not serving tacos in someone’s lawn. We need a proper venue, videographer, and open bar for 150 guests. We can rent for another two years.”
He looked completely exhausted: “You want us to burn four years of combined savings on an 8-hour party to impress people we talk to twice a year?”
Her reply: “If you loved me, you wouldn't make me negotiate down the one day I’ve dreamed about since I was eight.”
Rent for 2 more years to give her the dream wedding, or is this an immediate dealbreaker?
I can't get over how brilliant this 17hr masterpiece (for that's the only word for it) by @noxicore is. This is the real future of #StarWars. #KOTOR #KOTOR2 youtu.be/qlvio4iUyK8?si=hGHH…
There’s this bizarre subsection of the internet where people create 40k-inspired songs using AI (there’s an irony) which sound like classic Disney. And…I’m kindof here for it. #warhammer40kㅤ

Just hit 300 subs on YouTube! Thank you all so much. I know that's tiny by YouTube standards but it means the world to know there are people out there and listening. Scripting out the next one, exploring my perspective on the feminisation of the fantasy genre. #fantasywriting
Why does every story in every fantasy/sci-fi franchise overtaken by activists/women just become The Phantom of the Opera? There’s even reference to a fecking lake. 🎭
Plans for the scrapped Season 2 of THE ACOLYTE have reportedly been revealed:
• Season 2 would have had a 1 year time jump
• Osha would duel a Hutt in a gladiator arena
• Yoda is training Mae to help her find Osha
• Qimir works directly with Darth Plagueis
• Throughout the season, Qimir and Osha are tasked by Plagueis to assassinate key figures
• 2 flashbacks would reveal more about Qimir’s training under Vernestra Rwoh
• Qimir’s base is in a mansion, where he is served by a snarky droid
• At the mansion, Darth Plagueis appears as a hologram to guests but is secretly inside like a vampire hidden deep in the shadows.
• Plagueis constantly tries to have Qimir bring him Osha. Qimir refuses and the two duel, with Qimir almost killed.
• Osha saves Qimir and brings him to a Force deprivation pool where the two would have had the closest thing Star Wars has had to a sex scene.

Well, never thought I’d be shared by @TheCriticalDri2. What a Tuesday.
Ever wondered when and why we started listening to actors and their opinions? Then this rather fascinating video breaks it down. The guy who made it is just starting out on youtube, so do him a favour and show him some support. youtube.com/watch?v=nMMjB27i…
Second video into the void: When did we start taking actors seriously? How did they go from contemptible sub-class to society's moral arbiters? It's a weird and wild ride through the centuries: youtu.be/nMMjB27ikC4

First YouTube video, inspired by an actual chat with @TheCriticalDri2 on what it's like to be an actual gay nerd but not subscribe to 'The Message'. youtu.be/Y2Me64Q3R-E?si=6osb…
