“oh you know him”
TV Executives: “if the strike goes in, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”
Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.
Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.
It's just hilarious that they're trying to pull this whole "but your favorite shows!" nonsense.
Oh, you mean the shows you cancel after the third season no matter how good they're doing to avoid paying writers residuals? The shows that get produced and then never aired because you found a nice tax writeoff? The shows whose writing suffers because the writers' room got six weeks to write before getting booted and making the showrunner adapt all their scripts? The shows you straight up pulled from your streaming service to scam their crews out of rewatch money?
I will happily sacrifice my shows for the writers that gave them to me, no questions needed, but if anyone tries to say that the blatantly terrible way streaming treats its writers is somehow beneficial to shows, remind them of Infinity Train and Batgirl. That's the ideal they're pushing towards if someone doesn't say no, and we should be thankful that the writers are doing that for us.
come to Marshals if u would like to purchase World’s Most Breakable Object
my biggest fear is making a whole rant post about my favorite character or show and then completely fucking it up
like what if what i say about my blorbo isn't right. what if i missed the point. what if i took the symbolism a little too literally or didn't even catch it at all. i'd lose my shit
HELL YEAH FUCK HIM UP YOUR HONOR
no but seriously the "my friend wanted some help with legal work" line in aa4 changed me as a person. i think about edgeworth trying to reach out to freshly disbarred phoenix in a million different ways and it not working, so this bastard pulls a damsel in distress move on the guy who's only weakness is people who need help and goes "wright:((( there's this very very tough case:((( innocent people will go to jail if you don't accept these first class plane tickets for you and your daughter and spend a week with me in this five star european hotel :((( oh i am so lost and confused ughh this legal work is killing me" AND IT WORKS MULTIPLE TIMESSSS
