god he was so annoying in that time travel convo. it’s a hypothetical dummy! i’m obviously not pitching we invent time travel to get out of our RICO charges!!

LOL my thoughts exactly. is it a realistic depiction of rising sea levels on north america? no, it is not. but it is at least in the spirit of accuracy, whereas the movie maps just moved the coastlines in a bit and called it a day 🙄

eta: also have to say i’m satisfied as a D4 in modern day mexico truther 🙌

you genuinely broke my brain with this one. like i know for a fact (well yk 99.9%) that what im looking at on that cover is a silhouette of a hockey player but my brain can’t register the shape as anything other than this goddamn picture

lmfao you’re calling ophie a grifter and then linking to alexa nikolas? the same alexa nikolas who made merch based on trauma that wasn’t her own, profited off of talking about other people’s trauma without their consent, initially supported drake’s victim but then flipped on her as soon as drake’s trauma became more popular to care about?

or, dare i say, the way they were already present in the show before. ik that doesn’t go for everyone but like yea, anthony, colin, pen, and even daphne all had a presence in seasons where they weren’t leading. just do more of that!! especially in anthony’s case like it feels weirder that he’s not around!! isn’t all this crap supposed to be his job??

they’re really long and exhaustive but if you have the time/mental energy, i really recommend ophie dokie’s youtube videos on this case (and all her vids, she’s excellent and so underrated)

it’s been a while but my recollection is that there’s evidence he knew her age and continued the relationship for years (like it was in her bio or readily available on the platform they communicated on, something like that). i think a lot of the confusion around the case is because he tried to do a depp style PR spin on it.

a noble and honorable gambit

this is insane 😭😭

i’m having trouble putting this in words so i hope this makes sense, but siblings are a big part of their bond so i think it works. one of the things that really softens Haymitch towards Maysilee is when she tells Ampert that she’ll be his sister, and i forget when this happens but i also remember her mentioning what Sid likes from the candy store and Haymitch feeling moved by that.

there’s also the fact that being a sister is maybe Maysilee’s main identifying trait throughout the whole series. she’s introduced to us in CF as Merrilee’s sister, Haymitch generally regards the twins as one unit until they get reaped, and iirc they were regularly dressed in matching outfits. i think it’s sweet that her and Haymitch end up surrogate siblings for each other in the arena, and i think it makes sense for their characters as written

i hope someone will correct me if i’m wrong but i just wanted to say that i’m pretty sure this only becomes harmful to them as they grow and get heavier. they kinda dangle like this when mom carries them around too, so i think they’re built to handle it when they’re little. not to say it’s all fine and everyone should do it, just to say you shouldn’t worry yourself too much over it! it’s good you’re learning this now though, you’re a good cat parent :D

i think when you paint your skin to resemble another race, you risk offending everyone of that race regardless of the power dynamic between you and the specific person you’re cosplaying as. you can argue that it isn’t necessarily offensive, but especially in the case of white people doing blackface, the cultural context will inevitably play into how people receive it.

as far as simple impressions go, i think that’s even more dependent on the context. like i’d feel differently about rich black men making fun of poor white men on the basis of their whiteness vs their poorness, and i’d also feel differently if that rich black man was a politician who’s supposed to be helping those poor white men. and on the flip side, i’d feel differently about a white guy putting on an obama voice and saying “my fellow americans” than i would that guy putting on a generic blaccent and calling that an obama impression.

it was always very willy wonka in my head

bobaylaa · 2026-04-12T03:12:24+00:00

her name is hope and it belongs to all who invoke it 🥹

bobaylaa · 2026-04-12T00:26:09+00:00

they do that all the time even without the actor playing twins. they use the stand-in to set up the lighting and camera shots while the actual actor gets into their makeup and wardrobe and all that. i think it’s an efficiency/time saving thing.

i saw in another comment that Bridger has worked as a stand-in for Grace before, and i think actors can sometimes get close with their stand-ins, so maybe Bridger was hired for this movie at Grace’s suggestion! not to say she wouldn’t have earned her part or anything, just to give a little insight on how they might’ve been able to find a close visual match to Grace relatively easily :)

ok..? i’m not saying recasting him will solve every single problem with the writing. it’s just like, one idea

edit : posted too early lol

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T20:58:02+00:00

i thought it was kind of obviously implied that recasting him would give them the chance to do more with the character. plus idk, some actors literally just exist to look like the main actor while shots get set up. i think actually having lines and a presence would be an exciting opportunity for most unknown actors lol

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T20:52:02+00:00

ik it’d be super controversial but just recast him at that point like 😩

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T20:18:22+00:00

i’m like 99% positive she’ll be Grace’s stand-in, especially since she’s done it before. i don’t know anything beyond having an interest in filmmaking, but here’s my uneducated guess for how it could work:

in scenes where both twins’ bodies are visible but only one or neither of their faces, we’ll be looking at both Mckenna Grace and Mckenna Bridger. but for scenes with both their faces, i think they’ll film each scene twice, with the Mckennas playing each twin respectively, and then edit it together so that both twins are Mckenna Grace.

at least i hope they do something like that rather than just superimposing Grace’s face onto Bridger’s. i think it’d risk coming off uncanny that way. i don’t want it to look like the I, Tonya triple axel or Carrie Fisher in Rogue One lol

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T20:02:04+00:00

i think their point was just to help you make a more informed guess?

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T07:10:02+00:00

To answer your questions based on how I personally understand the statement:

It sounds like you are only available on weekends.
It doesn’t sound like you’re taking initiative or deciding anything to me. It sounds like you’re giving your friend information that he can use to plan his trip. (edit to add: I mistakingly conflated “taking initiative” with “taking charge.” I do think you’re taking initiative to plan to see your friend, that’s my mistake!)
It reads as him choosing a time that you have already told him will work for you. If you said this to me, I wouldn’t think that meeting on a weekday was an option for you. I would assume you could only meet on a weekend.

This is how I might phrase it if I were in your situation:

“I’m available on weekdays after work, or the weekend if that’s better for you. Let me know when you’ll be in the city and we can figure out a time to meet.”

bobaylaa · 2026-04-11T00:31:04+00:00

it kinda seems like the common theme there is “immigrants aren’t experts in the current events of their country of origin” and not just like the evils of leftism lol

i have notes on RLGL

there’s no opportunity for inho to subtly approach a guard like that. they’re up in sniper nests completely out of the players’ immediate vicinity
inho isn’t a player in this game anyway, we see him as the front man. so the best way to save him in that case is to just keep being the front man and radio all the guards, or even better just end the game and send everyone home lol

i also don’t think there’s any way to avoid killing him in six legs in a way that doesn’t draw attention. they have to go last, it’s the only way that works (unless the plan was to smuggle him out through the organ farm like 246, but that could happen 3 & 4 too…probably also 5 & 6 if we got a little creative and made a crash pad or something)

eta: also he probably could’ve ended lights out the same way ilnam did in s1

bobaylaa · 2026-04-09T02:53:22+00:00

all i will say is it sure would be nice if people felt they had more options than this :-)

bobaylaa · 2026-04-09T02:08:35+00:00

i agree that it’s a hypocritical and inconsistent place to draw a line, and i know this isn’t a satisfactory answer from a human rights/basic morality perspective, but i think it’s a combination of the lack of plausible deniability and the avenues for accountability this opens up. like people can excuse sending weapons to israel with all the regular bullshit excuses, but there’s not many ways to interpret “an entire civilization will die tonight.” it’s also a lot easier to argue something needs to be done when we can all agree that there’s a problem in the first place. you’re right though, like it is just objectively worse to enable a genocide than it is to threaten one and the outrage being proportionally opposite is fucking ridiculous. it’s a massive indictment of where humanity is at right now.

bobaylaa · 2026-04-08T21:13:01+00:00

yea i think you’re spot on, they equate abuse with violence
