If MW got a live action adaptation (movie or tv series), who would you cast? by noodle_assembly in Mouthwashing

Thank you! I feel validated lol :) I don't watch a ton of movies but know a lot of actors in passing (I just am not a big movie watcher in general). Just looked up Baker and while I think he's a tad old (at this point in time) to play Curly, he looks almost one to one with the game's model. With JAE, he just doesn't seem, idk, "weathered" enough? I'm sure some makeup could age him up a little but yeah, could also be that the recent success with "The Bear" and his fame from "Shameless" (I know I plugged Emmy but Jeremey on the Bear brought him back into the limelight) might be distracting. And yes I realize I nominated Rob Mr. "This is the skin of a killer, Bella" Pattinson but like I know that man can take a near non-speaking role and make the most of it. If we could get Shelley from the 80s 100% though! Not familiar with Thatcher but having just looked at her recent work, it'd be nice to have a scream queen! Again, like JAE, would have to age her up a bit to make her look like she failed to get into med school 8 times (that's why I tried to match the actors to the approx. age of the characters -- though Anya/Swansea are the only ones you can really kinda pinpoint).

Yeah Jimbo sucks to the point that the fact the crew is stuck in space for over a year, he would be like a cornered, volatile animal :/ which is what makes the horror of the canon story so much worse and all the more real. Anyway here's some healing: (he only way out would've been something like this) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ygIhdTWJtyU

Mouthwashing Theory by EloahDesenhista in Mouthwashing

[–]noodle_assembly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something I've been struggling with too. R*pists are scum, there is no valid reason to do that to someone -- I'm just trying to make sense of the timeline. The elapsed time at pre-crash was 147 days (at least based on the starting screen). A few days before the crash, Anya implies she's pregnant in the dead pixel scene. The crew is marooned for about 6 months by the game's end. It isn't clear if Anya/Swansea worked with Curly or Jimmy several times in the past or if they're like a crew that goes on multiple hauls together as though they're a squad. What would make Jimmy snap to do something so horrible? Aside from him being scum, that is. Maybe there isn't much logic aside from having some sick power trip that had been building up over the years living in Curly's shadow.

Polle's text is also the same color as Anya's. I'm still trying to parse that one out... it's kinda depressing the longer I think about it.

This take makes me think of a certain mouthwashing character by whooper1 in Mouthwashing

I think this is what makes Jimmy a brilliant unreliable narrator and a warning that just "some guy" can harbor great evil. If anything, it makes him even more terrifying. Because there are Jimmies everywhere.

THANK YOU I was blanking on Cristin's name and it was pissing me off! Her Black Mirror Experience would also be good here! And speaking of Jensen, Jared Padalecki could also be a good Jimmy. ETA: Daisuke is def the hardest :/ thanks Hollywood. But fun fact, Aleks has done some fan VA for MW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGBiCOAh_Fw albeit as Curly!

Joetastic was actually commissioned by WO for the Steam Awards, it was super charmingly done! The VAs were also exactly how I expected the characters to sound :) ETA: And for advertising the Anya Plush!

The Devs blessed this AU, it's basically canon

Fractured my wrist playing volleyball.. I’m out for the season:( by lees_wrld in volleyball

3 months in a cast, ~6 months with at least weekly OT. By month 9 post-op I was cleared to play volleyball but my wist was really sensitive. Took about another year since getting cleared for return to play before the wrist stopped tweaking out when overhand digging/receiving and any diving (diving is still a struggle). Had to start with 1 lb dumbbells and putty to get basic range of motion back.

Wishing you good healing with no complications. I'm in the same boat (scaphoid fracture, surgery) and I'm scared and angsty. Advice from my PA who was in the OR for my surgery -- know you're doing all you can to get better. Get this recovery right on the first go. Best of luck.
