At least I was trying to be better than I was.
At least I regretted the evil I'd done.

Blind Item #22 - The Show
A certain former actor who played a high IQ genius on a long-running procedural has had a secret AO3 account for years. His bookmarks consistent of DDDNE whump fics of the character that he played on the show. The actor reads these whenever he gets sad. Throughout his almost two decades on the show, the actor used to talk the writers into never giving his character a break. However, some of his suggestions for his character, who was a surprising fan-favorite, were so depressing that the showrunner flat out refused. After the first few years of his ideas being rejected, the actor took to AO3 to at least put his ideas for his character out into the world, even if they weren't canon. To be clear, both the fanfics he wrote and had bookmarked were just heartbreaking for his character, but none of these had anything beyond what's generally socially acceptable in a script or in the fanfiction community. Recently, the actor was asked to return for a second cameo in the reboot of the show. One of his terms of his return was that one of the fanfics he's written for his character be written into the season's narrative arc for his character. As soon as he sent the email, though, the studio's filters flagged it as a threat due to the graphic violence described (even though it was just a plot idea for the character he plays, and not an actual threat). The HR staff member forced to review the email was reportedly "deeply disturbed" and "concerned about where he even gets these ideas." She asked him if everything was ok at home, and pulled in the FBI consultant to sit in on the meeting (he was similarly disturbed but agreed there was no active threat). The actor was forced to go to a mandatory HR training after this, and the HR staff member and consultant both informally suggested that he see a professional. His character is so popular amongst fans, though, that the studio has considered accepting the terms of his return.

none of these games have morrigan and leliana dragon age
BioWare may be gone, but their spirit lives on in games like Baldur's Gate, The Witcher, and more. bit.ly/3W6cYC3
thinking about carol telling zosia-hive that a train horn is the loneliest sound in the world and how much she loves it. and how zosia-hive would never know exactly how that loneliness would feel because they are a collective.
which to me in that moment just feels like it emphasises carol's loneliness because as much as carol wants and needs zosia-hive, at her core she knows that they cannot replace an actual human being.
