This Is My First Poll! Something New I Want To Start Doing Before Posting The EMSP.

Made my first MCR necklace last night!

I chose the song Disenchanted because it's one of my favorites. I also felt like it's something different, like, not what you'd expect for MCR jewelry/kandi.

At first I wasn't sure if I loved it. I have synesthesia (and a weird brain in general) and I wanted to make the necklace match the colors of the song. Inevitably I got a bit overwhelmed playing around with the beads and getting them in the best order I could. Why is this such a big deal to me? The world may never know lol. But the more I look at it the more I like it. And I can now say that I'm very proud of it.

Initially, I was going to have the D-I-S be black letters and the rest be white. I felt like that would be unique on its on own AND THEN I realized that the word "dead" could be spelled inside "disenchanted" and I felt like that was super MCR coded so I went with that. That's what I'm most proud of. 😁

The Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage (EMSP) List

I thought it'd be helpful to make a list for the movies that I've reviewed so far. I will update it as new reviews are posted. Unfortunately, I'm not yet able to add links to direct you to the full review. The letters EMSP stand for " Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage" which is how long he spends on screen in a given movie. It is ordered from his highest screentime percentage to lowest. I hope this helps those looking for a new Ewan movie to watch!

What to do now? A guide for uncertain times:

Right now: do something other than social media or reading the news. Play a game, pick up a hobby, go for a walk, try a new recipe, ground yourself in something. Let your brain process everything by putting it on the back burner, let it percolate. Remember that you do have a voice, that the worst thing you can do is check out, that the most radical thing you can do is be kind.

Next few weeks: Keep working on the things that bring you joy. Make plans for the future. Assess where you are and where you want to be — physically, mentally, personally, geographically. Schedule doctor’s appointments. Delete your Twitter. Make new friends, connect with old ones, talk to your neighbors, join a community group. If you have a supportive family, talk to them too. Donate to the ACLU. By propping up others, teaching others, reassuring others, you help yourself too. Find a mutual aid group. Keep your head up. Love yourself and don’t wallow in despair. Remember that you do have a voice, that the worst thing you can do is check out, that the most radical thing you can do is be kind.

Next few months: execute on the plans for the future. Keep going with those hobbies. Keep loving yourself. Read reliable, fact-based news. Delete your Twitter (for real this time). Bake bread for your neighbor. Celebrate the holidays. Buy concert tickets as far out as you can, give yourself things to look forward to. Volunteer at a community center. Take a class. Teach others about how us queers and faggots are just people too. Remember that you do have a voice, that the worst thing you can do is check out, that the most radical thing you can do is be kind.

Next 6 months: Keep executing your plans. Write your representatives. Plant a little garden. Learn an instrument. Go to a zoo. Keep reading fact-based news (AP, Reuters, ProPublica, NPR even though it’s a bit biased to the left). Donate to the ACLU. When the sun comes out, get some bread, cheese, apples, and grapes, put them in a basket, go for a gay little picnic. Don’t make another Twitter account. Stock up on meds. Learn a new TTRPG. Pick up a fibrecraft. Remember that you do have a voice, that the worst thing you can do is check out, that the most radical thing you can do is be kind.

Next 4 years: make little baby steps to move towards your plans. Keep building relationships. Vote in local elections. Donate to the ACLU. Volunteer for state or national elections. Recognize that you live in a stupendously large country with assloads of diversity. Love yourself. Lift up other people. Remember that you do have a voice, that the worst thing you can do is check out, that the most radical thing you can do is be kind.

Shit is going to be really really rough for many many people. But if you’re reading this, you can’t give up, you can’t give in, you have to keep going. If you’re trans, if you’re queer, if you’re a freak and a faggot, you have to live.

Full disclaimer that I live in western Washington state, I’m white, I have a tremendous amount of privilege. I do my damndest to help people and use my own privilege to help others. I’m not perfect nor infallible, but reach out if you need something.

And if you’re still reading this, I love you.

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)

After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has chosen your perfect boyfriend...

Christian! (Moulin Rouge)

You definitely have a type and it's sad, broken men who are love-starved (highly specific, I know). Luckily for you, Christian is THE sad, broken, love-starved man of all time! He's sweet, sensitive, and will love you with a passion that can ignite the stars. And don't worry, this bad boy can take the trauma of a lifetime and still maintain purity of heart! No matter how bad things get, his love for you will never falter. Just give him some kisses and cuddles and he'll be yours forever.

Thanks for playing!

(and sorry for the wait)

Oh!! YES I LOVE SAD BROKEN BOYS. He’s so whipped in this movie… wowowow to have him be whipped for me…. 🥵

He might remain pure of heart but I will make sure that he is soul is defiled.

Thank you!!!! (Also I totally noticed after I posted it that one of the questions was supposed to be a 3 word answer and I gave you a paragraph. I have piss poor reading comprehension, sorry lmao)

22. (A Brief) Ewan McGregor Movie Review: Young Adam (2003)

I haven't made a post in awhile, especially a Ewan movie review. I had started working on the Screentime Percentage about a month ago and then life happened and it got shelved 🫤. I didn't want to leave it halfway done so I finally finished tallying his SP this week! However, this won't be a regular review and I can't guarantee that I'll go back to my original format. I still enjoy tallying the SP but honestly, I've fallen out of love with the review writing portion. It's just a lot and I figured I might as well just do the part I enjoy instead of forcing myself to do the part I don't. So that's my little update!

Synopsis: "Young Adam" is about Joe Taylor, an amoral drifter, who discovers a dead woman's body while with his workmate. As the rest of the town is swept up in the sensational story, Joe is slowly consumed by his secret that he alone knows the true fate of the mysterious woman.

Screentime Percentage: Ewan is on screen for 69/98 minutes making his SP 70%. This means that Rogue Trader has finally been knocked out of the #1 spot!

To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is the movie worth watching for Ewan alone? Yes. Outside of the high SP, this is also an erotic movie so there's lots of sexy Ewan content. I counted seven sex scenes plus one implied, ten shirtless scenes, five kissing scenes, and two nude scenes (one ass shot and the other frontal nudity). This isn't even including the nudity performed by women. There's also the infamous Custard Scene™️ which you just have to experience for yourself. Is the movie worth watching in general? No. I've seen it a few times now and it just fails to interest me. Maybe the book is better but the movie is plain boring.

Where to Watch: It's currently uploaded for free on YouTube.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

Whoa this is seriously cool! Thank you for sharing your fish of the day! That's so funny that even fish have doppelgangers lol

(for anyone reading this who also received a freebie ask from me and was confused on how to answer, THIS is a perfect example!)

Freebie!

Tell me something you've been dying for someone to ask you about

Mola Tecta!!! aka the hoodwinker sunfish
