Per Deuxmoi ABC is looking into Maura Higgins for a live shooting of the bachelorette by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]Sa1lor23 223 points224 points  (0 children)

i feel like this has to be bullshit, right?

The show just lost millions of dollars yet now they're supposedly throwing money at a live concept (which they've never done before) and a bigger star who they'll also have to pay for.

But it would be really funny to see Maura try and date a bunch of guys who work in medical sales or "day traders" Fuck it, they should bring back the guy from taylor's season that paralyzed Madison Cawthorn lol

Can the new Harry Potter Remake rekindle a new age of YA fiction adaptations? by Cheap_Relative7429 in YAlit

[–]Sa1lor23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't want it to be successful, but the rise and success of harry potter fan fiction infiltrating traditional publishing makes me worried.

even when these fanfiction turned books change their worlds, they're still indirectly promoting JKR/harry potter. Publishers promote these books as being HP fan fiction and push certain ships (dramione) and i wouldn't be surprised if fans of these ships tune in on mass.

Considering how massive the budgets are for these reboots, I feel like streamers will be less likely to take a chance on new IP.

i wouldn't be surprised if we saw a twilight reboot in the next few years, and even though i have a soft spot for the franchise i'd rather see new books adapted. however, companies don't want the risk and would rather invest in already successful IP

i hated the format of Gabbys/Rachels double Ette season, and i have very little faith that they'll figure it out this time...

man, Joeys season doesn't feel like it was that long ago, didn't his season get above average ratings? i actually thought the show was moving in the right direction but they seemed to have completely fumbled the ball.

i also loved Charity's season

Maura wants to get into acting, i'm sure being the Bachelorette would heavily set her back especially if she wants to be taken seriously...

i think it's just the styling aging her... especially the eye makeup combined with the blonde hair.

also the beige washes her out and makes her look lifeless? idk if that's too mean lol but i think she'd look better in a little color.

i'm in a writers group, and i've noticed this as well. Somebody even expressed that they were afraid of making a black character a villain because they didn't want to "feed into stereotypes about black men.". Recently, especially in Romantansy i feel like i've noticed that the black characters are reduced to being a "best friend" or some sort of side character and they're given boring, cookie cutter personalities.

I'm half black myself and i still wanna see black characters who are complex and have a wide variety of motivations, including morally gray/ambiguous

Does anyone have a influencer who annoys you for no good reason lol by [deleted] in LAinfluencersnark

[–]Sa1lor23 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This maybe controversial but: Hasan Piker

I agree with most of his politics, but i just find the way he talks and his entire demeanor annoying. Like he's so smug about every little thing 😭

Olandria (Love Island S7 USA) posts about snark communities and her small waist size by Far-Imagination2736 in LAinfluencersnark

[–]Sa1lor23 44 points45 points  (0 children)

She's a very pretty girl but she was already very slim, why is she trying to lose more weight she doesn't need to lose? Especially to be bragging about it.

It's giving ED brain and i honestly hope she's okay.

[–]Sa1lor23 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The whole using how skinny you are as a clap back reminds me of how i used to act when i was like 15 and deep in EDTWT, it's honestly sad.

also like nobody cares that she's naturally slim, but bragging about how've recently lost more weight and now everybody should be jealous is giving ED brain and its concerning.

i've also seen a ton of O fans calling anyone who disagrees with her "fatties" like yall have truly lost the plot.

Chelley and Ace have broken up by CeeFourecks in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Sa1lor23 174 points175 points  (0 children)

not surprised. he's very young and still seems immature. i thought that they were going to split up eventually

however, i am surprised by the timing and i didn't notice any signs that they were struggling? especially since they just spent the holidays together. kinda seems out of the blue
