We both have ours on our wrist (my left, her right). I get occasional questions, because it doesn’t really look like a face until you know what you’re looking at, but I love it so much.

The only thing that makes me doubt that it’s the same person is the fact that the Miquela renders are so much better than the Bermuda ones.

This movie is so damn important to me. I was 16, maybe 17, when I first saw it. I was a queer goth kid in the middle of Ohio, I had changed schools and I was at a point where I felt isolated, confused, and alone. Years before, Rocky Horror had already given me a taste of gender fuckery and queerness, but it was so…

They’ve already changed a lot about the character just to use her - apparently Lenny was a middle aged man when they suggested the role to her.

Hunts always seemed to me like the condiment equivalent of Rose Art crayons.

I’ll admit, I loved the ME3 ending, but I do wonder if the backlash to it is part of why DA:I’s ending suffered. Some of the complaints for ME3 at the time stemmed from there being no final battle, no real conclusion afterwards. So for DA:I, they gave players a straight forward big battle and a party.

I found it really interesting to discover that Duckie was based off Molly’s own friend, who turned out to be gay. In that context, you can see where the inspiration behind Duckie was warped for a hetero view - without Duckie pining after Andie, his behaviour... isn’t OK, but mildly less creeptastic.

Hands down, the best movie-to-musical is Heathers. It’s sharp, it’s hilarious, it’s catchy as hell, and it actually expands on a lot of originally weak characterisation, bringing out both sympathy and agency to Veronica and JD (while firmly painting JD as an epic fuck-up).

Before I started watching B-99, I had trouble telling Andy Samberg and Jesse Eissenberg apart, and Jesse Eissenberg annoys the everliving snot out of me so much that I tense up just thinking about him. I wasn’t familiar enough with Andy to have any association with him beyond the mix-up, so it put me off watching for…

It actually acknowledges this! Openly! Multiple times!

The very beginning of the show, when she’s still in New York, are incredibly different from the rest of the series. I highly recommend sticking with it, at least for an episode or two.

Speaking of Derrick, wtf was that Courtney Act Victoria’s Secret thing she was wearing?

Adore’s lost some weight, definitely, but I think it’s also because she’s been shifting towards a much more genderfuck androgyny over the past year - which, retrospectively, I think also explains some of why AS2 fucked with her so much. She’s come a long way from the glammed up trailer trash femme look that she had in…

From what they’ve released so far, I don’t have much hope for this. The action economy system seems needlessly crunchy. It seems like it’s largely drawn from the Starfinder system.

Most of the women in my mum’s side of the family eventually have to have the same surgery. It can become incredibly difficult to see, especially as the skin above the eye looses its elasticity and starts to droop lower with old age.

I spent 4 years doing engagement for a survey panel in which it was the exact same survey every day. Which meant it was PR to the same 30k people every day, trying to convince them to tell us about what TV they watched, with little to no reward. I sent out some inane fucking emails, I can tell you that.

Ugggh, my reenactor parents are like that. And hypocritical about it, too! They’ll snark about SCA folks wearing sunglasses (even those designed to look period-appropriate), but there were SO many Mary Janes and polyester.

People clearly have read the article. She and the tour she was with clearly didn’t call the Met ahead of time to give notice about her costume, and chose instead to show up at one of the busiest times in the week.

I must ask, because I did a lot of 16th/17th (and rare 18th) century reenactment when I was growing up - what period and events did you do? It’s so rare that I ever come across a fellow reenactor!

I was raised by 16th century reenactors, and one of the biggest events of the year was always going to Plymouth for the annual muster. It was always the crappiest event for my mum and I, too, because they didn’t allow women to participate, but it did mean that I got to spend a lot of time with the on-site crafters and…
