This was the first I’ve heard of this but apparently SAG-AFTRA would like cosplayers not to dress up as characters from Live Action media

Sources:

1. Klaudia Amenábar on twitter
2. Estar Guars Tia on twitter
3. SAG-AFTRA’s guidelines for influencers

[ID] Klaudia Amenábar @kaludiasays on twitter says “in all seriousness SAD asking for no cosplay of characters from struck productions the week of SDCC is a really smart move. if people actually follow it in solidarity it will be a REAL disruption these companies don’t want bc they rely on fans doing 90% of marketing nowadays.

Even before the strike half the big companies werent doing big panels there anyway, relying on some actor promotion, their owned conventions and events, and [caps] FANS. [/caps] fans creating disruption as well to help the workers would be very visible as well.

and if it’s for months and several conventions, and creators pivot their content away for long periods of time, it’ll really make their pockets hurt bc they [caps] BARELY [/caps] pay for owned marketing anymore and again, rely on fans. [caps] DRAIN THEM DRY. [/caps]

for those asking about the source on cosplay, but also on past productions twitter.com/estarguarstia (…) [end ID]

[ID] quoted tweet from Estar Guars Tia @estarguarstia reads Ok guys I got a response.

Image: screenshot of an email from SAG-AFTRA reads Re: Further clarification for content creators.

We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promoting struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today. [End ID]

Am I allowed to promote struck work on social media as a fan and not in a paid capacity?

Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity.

Can I attend conventions as a fan as long as I am not being paid to promote anything?

You cannot participate in conventions such as Comic-Con on behalf of, or to promote, companies we are striking against- this includes appearances, panels, fan meet and greets, etc. involving struck work. You may participate in a convention in ways that are wholly independent of characters from struck work or sponsorship by struck companies. If you have any questions relating to this distinction, please contact SAGAFTRAstrike@sagaftra.org. [end ID]

#what if people who were going to cosplay a struck character instead dressed all the same #like maybe they dress as picket signs or 404 error scenes #or they all do the holes cut in a sheet ghost costume #imagine a sea of 404 errors

while this is definitely a despicable thing to say, countless writers on twitter have already quoted/commented on the article in question saying that it’s definitely a pr move the studios and amptp are pulling to try and scare people into submission because they’re afraid actors will go on strike too. so like yes it’s horrible but also if sag and wga both go on strike and support each other studios will have no choice but to eventually go back to the table to negotiate because the industry will literally stop entirely lol

great twitter thread about this by david slack!

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

1. What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
2. What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
   
3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
4. Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 
   
5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 
6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
7. Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
8. Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
9. What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 
10. What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

Sweet Dreams - Rora Blue

2020.

“Sweet Dreams explores the intricacies of everyday ableism and everyday ableist comments. Some of the comments recount dialogue said to the artist. Other phrases were submitted by other disabled and/or chronically ill individuals as documentation of comments that have been said to them. Through using recognizable objects associated with disability in correlation with playful colors, Sweet Dreams aims to reclaim objects commonly associated with pain and disrupt the narrative on what it means to be disabled.”

I see so many people starting to use Threads as a way to escape Twitter and yes, it’s owned by Facebook’s CEO and giving Facebook the monopoly of social media is bad but I think we should also talk about the fact that, you know, Threads isn’t avalibe in the EU for privacy reasons????? That should be concerning to EVERYONE

also the fact that iirc if you want to delete your threads profile you’ll need to delete your Instagram account too 🙃🙃🙃 (also please lmk if any of the links repeat and/or are fucked up!)

Well that’s one I didn’t even think possible…. Well, that’s a good way to force everyone to not leave the app

Have you seen the permissions it needs?

This is fucking terrifying

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn’t block other “spellings” of it. Writing it as “r@pe” or “r4p3” means that someone who has “tw rape” as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn’t wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can’t even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren’t old/mature enough to be on this website.

I’ve hated that “un-alive” filtering since it started. Because my pretentious ass read 1984 and Brave New World when I was 16. Words like “suicide”, “rape”, “death”, etc, these shouldn’t be censored. These are words that describe actions and states of being. They’re fucking unpleasant words, but you know, life is sometimes fucking unpleasant. Hiding the word doesn’t magically make the bad thing go away. It makes you afraid to talk about it. It makes it a forbidden subject. It locks people who need to talk about it in a closet, like a fucking wife who has an opinion in 1925.

Stop it. Use the correct word.
