the "you aren't friends" really sells it.

Archaeology: it is mandatory, it is ritualic.

Fun fact about archeology!

if it's a rock and you lick it, your tongue got a little dirty.

If it's a bone, it sticks to your tongue.

Bones remember being inside a body where they could be wet all the time, and they want to return to that state.

Cheers science side of Tumblr. Never say that again though

Can we take a moment to really appreciate XSeed? They're going above and beyond to push for same-sex marriage in our farming sims.

In Story of Seasons, it was "best friends weddings" and XSeed changed it to explicitly romantic weddings. In Rune Factory, they pushed to put same-sex marriage into a game without it...and made it into reality!

Idk after living through the "Natsume removing best friends weddings from HMDS Cute," it's pretty amazing to see. They deserve some props for the work they're doing

It’s important to understand, the Satanic Temple is an activist group.

They don’t worship Satan - they don’t actually believe in Satan. They call themselves Satanists because Satan is the antagonist in Christian theology.

They are actively trying to promote the separation of church and state, and prevent the US from becoming a theocracy. And their method is genius: they’re fighting religion with religion.

Essentially, they go up against religious-based legislation by petitioning for their own religion to also be represented, since separation of church and state means all religions must be equally represented by the government, or none are. If only one is, then it’s getting special privileges and that’s not allowed.

For real, I think there’s multiple places where town councils used to have some local religious leader open their public meetings with a prayer, until the local Satanic Temple volunteered. They generally sue when turned down, and then when the court tells the town you let the satanists pray or you stop having prayers at government meetings… they stop having prayers at government meetings.

And I have to say, as a Christian who doesn’t want the church within ten city blocks of the government, I admire their activism.

I dont really care if you use the term bisexual or pansexual, but what i DO care about is that you understand that bisexuality at NO stage in history was EVER trans-exclusionary. Bisexuality has always included trans folks, and non-binary folks, and the entire spectrum of gender between male and female, as well as Definitively Gender and agender. It has ALWAYS meant "attraction to more than one gender." It has NEVER meant "attraction to cis men and women only."

So, pan, bi, use whichever label you will. But do NOT buy into the recent-years innacurate concept that bisexuality is attraction to cis men and women only, because thats literally never been the case.

No matter how you feel about Scarlett Johansson as a person, the fact is that with this claim, you should be supporting her in this case against Disney. It doesn’t matter that “she’s rich and she doesn’t need more money”, or whatever you think about the casting controversies. This is a legal breach of contract, that apparently meant she lost out on 50 MILLION DOLLARS. She is completely justified. And if she lost that much, how much did Florence possibly lose out on? Rachel and David? Anyone who’s acted in a Disney+ release, how much did they lose out on because the Mouse House are greedy fuckers who want 100% of the profits?

At the end of the day, it’s about equal pay. It’s about Disney not thinking that because they’re a multi-billion dollar conglomerate they’re allowed to bully their actors into taking less than they were promised. It’s about protecting actors who are not white A-List Hollywood stars with the means to endlessly fund expensive lawyers from the same exploitation in the future. 

Until more information is released, I’m standing with Scarlett. You can’t really claim that you support professional women to demand what they’re worth and promised and then be like, “except her, she’s doing fine as is”. Even if her motivations were entirely selfish, or she doesn’t win, it’s highly likely at this point that with her big name, a lot of other actors are going to come forward.

(maybe I’m mad that she’s destroying her own mcu legacy but I suppose this was a bigger worry. also i’m a little confused because she just signed on to produce that Tower of Terror movie for Disney so is that now off? idk I just want everyone to be friends this fandom is never peaceful)

Also bear in mind, she’s clearly been pissed with them for months now, but was still professional enough to do the PR tour for the movie.

I read her complaint. This is legit.

Disney is legally obligated to meet the letter and spirit of its contractual obligations. Scarlett is alleging that Disney has failed to do so, perhaps intentionally. This is a breach of contact and likely tortious. She has the right to sue for damages. People should get the benefit of what they bargained for in their contractual agreements. People should not cheat other people.

Scarlett held up her end of the contract and apparently made a great movie. She claims that the contract was for theatrical release only for the first 90-120 days, because she negotiated a percentage of box office receipts as part of her compensation. Her complaint alleges that *the bulk of her compensation* was this back end percentage of revenue.

Previous Marvel movies had exclusive windows of at least 82 days, and 117 days on average. And people would pay to see the Marvel movie multiple times, so that’s more ticket revenue.

By releasing simultaneously on Disney+, Disney lured many new subscribers, and got them to pay $30 more to watch black widow, and its stock price rose, which increased compensation for Disney executives. This also cannibalized theatre box office receipts, including no one going to the theater multiple times, reducing Scarlett’s compensation. So Disney both made more money for itself AND had to pay Scarlett less money.

Disney needs to pay her all of what she’s owed. She is suing for intentional interference with contractual relations and inducing breach of contract.

Only a person as wealthy as Scarlett can afford the astronomical legal fees that it will cost to sue Disney. Millions of dollars, easily. And she might lose the lawsuit because Disney has very tough lawyers and uses very aggressive legal tactics. Only a person as wealthy as Scarlett can afford to gamble on millions in legal fees and know she might lose.

Only a person as successful as Scarlett has potential monetary damages that make it worth spending all that money on legal fees, because she could recover way more money than it costs her to bring that lawsuit. One article said she’s potentially looking at $60m in damages.

Only a person as successful as Scarlett can afford to piss off Disney, which owns basically everything, and potentially get blacklisted by other major studios. Could a less prominent actor risk their career with this sort of lawsuit? No. Could anyone else in that movie? No.

Scarlett should be applauded for standing up for her rights. This is her money, she earned it over ten years of developing Black Widow, and Disney needs to not fucking cheat her.

Disney damn well knew it needed to amend her contract, because Warner Bros. spent a fortune doing so when it moved all its releases to HBO Max. Disney said, “nah.” What about all the other movies that moved to Disney+? Did the cast of Raya get compensated?

Disney has a habit of screwing over creators. Unlike most of the others, Johansson can afford to sue them for it. Good for her. I hope she takes them to the cleaners. Because then the others will have a legal precedent that will help them pursue their own complaints against the company.

Also, if this is screwing her, it’s also screwing EVERYONE else who gets payments based on box office and various types of residuals. And those people can’t necessarily afford to sue. (Yes, those people are real, I still get checks every quarter from a film I was in in 2006. At this point, that amounts to a few hundred bucks a year, but that’s groceries. And in the first couple of years, it was thousands and the only way I could pay my rent at that point. This matters.)

#DisneyMustPay #hey remember how we recently learned they were refusing to pay royalties to writers? #claiming the purchase of contracts from other companies entitled them to get money #from the IPs #but didn’t obligate them to pay the writers despite that being in the original contracts they bought? #and how when Alan Dean Foster came forward a whole bunch of other lesser known writers did too? #IF THEY’RE SCREWING OVER SCARJO THEY’RE SCREWING OVER ALL THE OTHER ACTORS TOO #AND LIKELY CREW ETC #class issues #capitalism #pay people for their work #PAY PEOPLE FOR THEIR FUCKING WORK

I hate hate HATE all those 2edgy 4me theories about kids shows. Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness. So you know what? From now on I’m gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started: Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone’s player characters (and their family) by the end.

The Walking Dead is actually a bunch of kids playing zombie apocalypse in their neighborhood and every time someone “dies,” it’s because their parents called them home for supper.

Breaking Bad is actually just a fanfic the students in Mr. White’s class write about him because no one has any idea what he does with his free time and the running jokes about it got wildly out of hand.

These are all officially my headcanons for the actual shows now

An enemy is just a friend I haven't worn down

Are you saying that you're the main character of a kids cartoon?

I'm saying that "I'm going to be friends with you" is both a promise and a threat

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

Truth in the tags.
