This is the poster for my Silver Screen Bang story! I love it as much as I think everyone will love my story!
What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys
these tags are gold omg
It's a misconception that the mimics are hunting humans when they trail along at the back of hiking groups.
In fact, the creature you'll find suddenly walking beside you and acting as if they've always been there is almost certainly a juvenile, as the adults lose the ability when they reach reproductive age.
Recent studies suggest the forest mimic is less like a preying mantis (mimicry as a hunting strategy) and more like a cuckoo (mimicry as a protective strategy for their young). Adult forest mimics will leave their offspring near a group of hikers while they forage during the day, and retrieve them near trailheads in the evening. Groups of hikers provide safety from predators and allow the parents of the species the freedom to forage more widely.
For this reason, the traditional advice to never let a mimic into your vehicle is still very important, as this would separate the young mimic from its mother. If a juvenile forest mimic does follow your group to the parking lot, you can keep it entertained with trail snacks, dad jokes, and simple goofs. The mother will usually collect them shortly before sunset.
When you notice the woods around the trailhead go silent and feel a sense of nameless foreboding, find an excuse to avert your attention from the juvenile so it can sneak back into the forest to rejoin its mother, convinced it's fooled another party of unsuspecting humans.

Y'know, if there's a character that has resonated with me so much is Sailor Jupiter. Too many times in society (mainly social media) a woman falling in love or wanting a husband has been equated to being "weak" or "not a girlboss." With the new Snow White remake and all, people keep thinking a woman wanting love or loving "feminine" or "wife-ly" stuff such as cooking or cleaning equates to a weak female character or a female character who's "bland." (Just look at how Snow White and Cinerella get unwarranted hate. They get hate for being "bland" or "too worthless" just for being feminine, dreaming of true love, or having "dainty" characteristics such as cooking or cleaning.)
But...Sailor Jupiter/Makoto absolutely flips that. Let me explain here: what I love so much about her character is that she shows that just because she's a strong tough girl that doesn't mean she's inherently "masculine" or can't have "feminine" traits such as cooking, cleaning, wanting a husband, dreaming of love, etc. She shows you can be both a strong woman, whilst still having traits society may deem as "feminine" or "dainty," such as wanting love. With all these hate reasons towards Snow White and Cinderella, I feel like she just totally flips it. A strong and badass female character who still wants love, wants a husband, etc. Just really resonates with me and shows just because a female character wants love or has goals such as wanting a husband that doesn't mean she's weak. I feel she just really flips those tropes.
(Ps, before anyone gets angry- I'm not saying female characters can't be masculine or anything. I'm just saying a female character can have "feminine" or "wife-ly" goals or traits such as wanting a husband or cooking while still being a great character or strong physically.)

When he was asked to be in Jimmy Kimmel’s “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” video, in which he pulled up alongside them in a car and gave Jimmy a little wink and an air-kiss, when he showed up at the set he looked kind of put out. Kimmel was afraid he wasn’t down with what they were asking. But he just said, “I don’t know, this wardrobe…don’t you have anything mesh that I could wear?”
When he was filming “Witness” he rented a small farm from a friend of mine. At the end of the filming my friend went and checked out the property as usual. He noticed the barn door had been leveled so it no longer would swing open on it’s own. Went into the house and saw the closets had been redone, in the kitchen the cabinets had been replaced and all the drawers now opened really well. Turns out that there were thousands of dollars of work and materials put into fixing up everything at the place.
My friend called Ford and asked him how much he was asking for the work. Ford told him doing that kind of thing helped him relax and stay sane when he was filming. Would not take a dime. Plus he paid for a new water heater and got the sewage system cleaned out.
And he paid rent to live there the entire time.

Given how much tumblr likes both leverage and days of the week, kind of surprised this isn’t a thing. Happy no-stabbing Wednesday y’all.
