And Keanu says something really interesting to me on the first John Wick. He comes to me and he goes, “Look, just so you know, little bit of advice, when you edit, once a week, you should see the edit on the big screen.” And I’m like, OK, we’ll try. Later, alone with him, I’m going, “Well, why?” He’s like, “I’m a big-screen actor.” And I had no fucking idea what that meant. I thought it meant a movie star. And he’s like, “No, no, no, no.”
And he started talking to me about non-verbal acting, like gestures, motions. And he’s like, “Look, when you see me on a little monitor and I give this little look, it’s one thing. But when you see it on a 40-foot screen, that look’s going to say a lot. That’s what I want to play this guy as. So just please be aware of it, so when we punch in on the closeups, it’s going to mean something.” And it kind of really clicked for me right there.
I’ve always been fascinated by non-verbal gesture, body language. Keanu would go through and strip his dialogue down. It was like, “No, no, nope. I’m just going to cuddle the puppy.” In the first John Wick, he doesn’t talk for 32 minutes. Try to sell that one to a studio: You have Keanu Reeves and you’re not going to let him talk.

If you're looking to remove this and you haven't figured it out-

The above process is done through the firefox browser extension "ublock origin." I think there's a version for chrome too, but why are you still using chrome? Firefox is better.

You do NOT have to type in the string to block the element. If you right click, and select block element, it'll bring up the red box w/ the code already written in. You can block other elements by mousing over/clicking them if you selected the wrong thing or accidentally clicked off or something.

Then you just click "create" and it'll disappear the fucked up clown for you.

Anonymous asked:

I found T'pol's question about their sexual activity valid. Guess they just beat that meat? Wonder if there are Starfleet issue fleshlights? 🤔

I guess that's why Starfleet installed holodecks on their ships, lol. it's the Designated Masturbation Room:

someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think they also got rid of the no fraternization policy, at least unofficially, not too long after the ENT era. in TOS, I'm pretty sure Kirk was canoodling with everyone on that ship who wanted to participate. 😂

Excuse me, fanfiction written in 2002, I do not deserve to be sassed like this. 😂🥲

(And yes, it was extremely common for fic written in the early 2000’s to just straight up have author commentary interspersed in the fic. Those were the days…)

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT'S MY FIC! YOU READ MY FIC!

I'm so stoked you enjoyed it! I'd apologise for the sass but 19YO me was very proud of finding a fun way to fade to black, so I stand by it. 😂 Also 19YO me had never been kissed, never mind more, so she couldn't have written good smut even if she'd been game to post it. Maybe 41YO me should write that scene...

Now up to 1412 very domestic words, but it's gonna get spicy in a bit, it is about Pon Farr after all.

Now at 2195 words and about to get literally steamy. But that'll lead to the spicy, so...it's getting there! Also the fic this is the sequel to was only 2261 words, so this is definitely gonna be longer.

I am SO excited for this, you have no idea!!

excerpt from my trip/t'pol fic:

“I see. I will now disrobe,” T’Pol said, reaching for the buttons on her pajama top. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on,” Trip said, holding his hands up. “If we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do it properly.” T’Pol stopped unbuttoning. “Please explain.” “You don’t usually just... jump into it. You gotta get warmed up a little first.” “Is the current temperature of my quarters not suitable?” T’Pol asked. “No, no, that’s not what I meant. I mean… you gotta start somewhere. Kissing, touching.” Do Vulcans not do foreplay? “I would be amenable to kissing you,” T’Pol stated. Well, that’s a ringing endorsement, Trip thought.

had to get rid of the "is the current temperature not suitable" line because it definitely is more of a Spock or Data kind of thing to say than T'Pol, but I still wanted to share it because I think it's hilarious

had to cut part of this but couldn’t bear for it to disappear into the void, so here:

“I didn’t know that Vulcans kissed at all,” Trip pointed out. “We do,” T’Pol said. “In private.” “Well, I tend not to stick my tongue into anyone’s mouth in public,” Trip remarked. T’Pol cocked her head. “That is not what Captain Archer has told me,” she said, her voice almost teasing. Trip scrunched his nose. “The back hallway of the 602 Club ain’t that public,” he protested, “and in my defense, I was drunk as a skunk and that cadet went for me tongue-first.”

i know I just did trip having heart eyes for t'pol but I could also make an entire gifset of "trip + annoyed at t'pol" lol

theory 1: baseball curses are real bc look what happened to the cubs and the red sox

theory 2: baseball curses are fake bc no one has ever cursed the yankees

theory 3 (synthesis): no one has successfully cursed the yankees bc they employ a cadre of dark wizards

i'm sinking into a pit of existential despair so that means I'm gonna get my period soon lmfao. hormones are fucking wild. like, i want to sink my teeth into my own flesh and scream, which is a totally normal thing to feel.

to be fair, all of this is really small stuff compared to pre-stability me, but it doesn't mean i can't complain about it :)
