“Okay that makes sense”

Now explain it to a Japanese samurai from the year 1218

"do you know how waterwheels grind up grain in a water mill using the force of running water? We found a way to create a huge source of force that runs all the time and can transfer its force over long distance. I can tell you in more detail, but that's the basics. Now that is a chime that has a mechanism that one can press instead of having to open the door to let you know that you are waiting to be let in. It requires the transferred force to make the mechanism work and that wire is how we transfer the force to the chime."

“go to hell” is basic “i hope one person in your gay ship refers to the other in canon as ‘like a brother to me’ as a way of expressing affection for him, thus leading people online to think they are actually related” is smart. it’s possible. it’s happened to me like five times.

i do think there should be more stories and shows and stuff about guys falling in love with butch women actually, i think that’d be a good thing. and not ‘this is as butch as twitter can handle’, i mean butch as can fucking be without apology, and making those boys weak in the knees about it. i think it’s great actually to have f/m romances that exist to break gender norms, too. i think it sucks that the only mainstream het romances that exist are either about women who are already feminine or with women who are just a little too scarily masculine and have to be fixed into being girlier. that’s shit.

it’s not like. taking away from queer people if you let “the straights” have some genderfuckery in their romance, too. that’s good, actually, the blurring of gender roles and performance and getting better understandings of your own sexuality is good for everyone. and it’s really fucking weird if you think that mainstream “het” romances shouldn’t feature women who are “too masculine” because that’s only allowed for queer people, somehow.

some lazy sunday sketching before bed 😴 Elphaba has not known peace since meeting this woman

So... Tombstone

To those of you who have not heard, Rob Weitoff aka John Marston was not invited to this years Tombstone Redemption, which is a massive rdr2 centered event where normally a lot of actors show up, including that of minor characters like Karen Jones and Susan Grimshaw.

Sadly Rob is not the only one not making an appearence, other actors have also voiced the fact they will not be attenting, and here is the run down of why. Just to make it clear, this is not a gossip post, but rather to educate so that people can be aware of what is happening and if they want to support the organiser of the event.

The man who is behind this event as well as Blackhills Redemption is a guy named Kenny, who sadly has turned out not to treat the actors as well. There have been a lot of incidents relating to different actors, which I will not be discussing due to the fact they don't seem to want to discuss it, however I recommend watching this (the line is a link, press it to show the video) live by Kenny in which he talks very disgustingly about some situations. In the comments you can find some timestamps for different things.

But the incident I will adress is Rob's because he has been very vocal about it, sadly a lot has been taken down but here are some screenshots of some of the posts.

Other things regarding Kenny is the absolute poor planning of the events themselves. I have been in contact with someone who went to these events who let me know that the lines to meet the actors were nine hours long, which was partly due to the fact that the room where all the actors were and where everything was happening was "if you stood in the center it was about 3 or 4 people wide" (which is a safety hazard), but also the line was conjoined, so to meet any actor you had to stand in the same line.

Kenny also complains in the live linked above about the fact that the actors actually took the time to talk to the fans rather than just go "oh hi, you like my game? Thanks, bye" because it "takes too much time" which is part of what he blames the long lines on. Another thing he states within the first minute of the video is that he "only mistreated three of the actors" which is such a dumbass thing to say.

And to top the whole thing off, Kenny has used AI in the marketing of his events, something which a good chunk of the actors are currently striking against, and even those who aren't have mentioned their dislike for it.

There is more going on with Kenny but I won't touch on it for several reasons, I just wanted this out so people can decide if they want to support this guy and so if other actors decide that they want to speak out they know we have their backs.

In the comments, people are talking more about this, including the incident of a cast member asking about COVID precautions for a vulnerable member of his household, and I feel the need to say….this person was just someone vulnerable. It was a newborn baby; this man got mad at someone wanting to protect their newborn with no immune system from COVID.

I’ve seen a couple of videos and a couple of other accounts on this with fans saying Kenny was so bad he made them cry over things so simple as ticket booth interactions, selling upwards of 400-600 VIP tickets, higher pricing for no lines and better perks, grossly oversold—meaning even those with the “VIP” tickets had to stand in line for 6-8 hours, some longer, some couldn’t even get access to the events they had paid extra for, with no refunds and crickets from the team. All this to say if you manage to make Rob out of all people angry publicly then try and disparage Rob’s character by claiming him to be some alcoholic maniac is just a new low, please do not attend this event, and please warn others to not attend either. The actors WILL NOT be there, nor do they want to be due to the poor treatment.
