Wil Wheaton - Tumblr Posts
Wil Wheaton as Joey Trotta in Toy Soldiers (1991) -heart if you reblog or save! ✨
I felt bad about Mike Flanagan not being included so I decided to make another poll.
Inspired by @ktlsyrtis 's poll.
Please, please, please reblog this so it reaches the widest audience possible.
Also sorry if I'm not the only one who's done another poll.
When Dream decides he’s serious about his friendship with Hob, he creates a clock to help him keep better track of their time together. Hob has proven his patience, but Dream means not to make him wait again if he can help it.
(Also @dsudis has written some fics lately about Dream having time blindness, and I love this idea desperately.)
The clock sits unassumingly in his bedroom where no one else can see it, gilt details on ebony wood, with four dials instead of a single face.
(If only there was a pop culture reference that might make this kind of clock more clear. Ah well. Too bad there isn’t. Fuck TERFs. Protect and cherish trans* people.)
The first dial shows the time in the Waking where Hob is. This is to prevent him from appearing in the early hours of the morning or at other inconvenient or atypical times, or at least do so knowingly.
The second dial allows him to set the time and date of their next meeting and counts down to it. It makes a musical chime that none but him can hear, but the gentle sound reaches Dream anywhere within the Dreaming.
The third dial tells him a general idea of what Hob is doing: the slender gold hand points to Teaching a great deal, and At the New Inn. It shows With Company when Hob is hosting others so that Dream will not interrupt, despite Hob’s assertion that Dream is welcome any time. Occupied covers a great number of messy human experiences that Dream understands are not to be discussed in polite conversation. He has no desire to embarrass his friend.
Sleep also sits on this third dial in a place of pride at the noon slot. Dream doesn’t need it, knows when Hob dreams without any assistance, but every time he sees the hand point to sleep pulls a faint smile from him, and that is reason enough to have it.
The fourth dial tells Dream how Hob is faring. It has categories like In Peril, Lonely, Unwell, Typical, and Celebrating. The spidery writing on the dial changes as needed, updating with information Dream is meant to use to be a good friend.
It is completely unhelpful. Since Dream created the clock, it has pointed unwaveringly at In Love. Hob has not mentioned any type of romantic entanglement since Dream’s return. Dream is too afraid to ask.
Ready Player One
I’ve watched the movie and have read the book and I have one thing to say. I kinda want/wanted a RPO semi-animated tv show. The story could be broken up into a mini-series narrated by Wil Wheaton or Tye Sheridan. The cast could stay the same and maybe follow more of the book? I don’t know. I would be cool to see more book references! except for that weird part with wade. you all know that part.
Snort-out-loud funny.
These are fantastic! (via Reddit)
One of the best things on the internet!!!!
I just reblogged something that reminded me this song/video exists, and I still cry like a little baby every time I watch it.
Seriously.
In 1960, SAG and WGA struck to force management to adapt to the new technology of television. Without that strike and the agreement it birthed, residual use payments would not exist.
My parents stole nearly all of my salary from my entire childhood. My Star Trek residuals were all I had, and they kept me afloat for two decades while I rebuilt my life. I have healthcare and a pension because of my union. The AMPTP billionaires want to take all that security away so they can give CEOs even more grotesque wealth at the expense of the people who make our industry run.
To give some sense of what is at stake: There are actors who star in massively successful, profitable, critically acclaimed shows that are all on streaming services. You see them all the time. They are famous, A-list celebrities. Nearly all of those actors don't earn enough to qualify for health insurance, because the studios forced them to accept a buyout for all their residuals (decade of reuse, at the least) that is less than I earned for one week on TNG. And I was the lowest paid cast member in 1988. They want to do this while studio profits and CEO compensation are at historic highs.
I mean, if not now, when? And I haven't even touched on AI and working conditions.
We must fight for the future of our industry in the face of changing technology, the same way our elders did in 1960. So today, my Spacemom and I went to the place where it started for us, way back when, to do just that.
I see all your support. It means so much. Thank you.
I wish I had a friend group like them.
Thank you! Very insightful.
Will, do you have any fun stories from working on Next Gen or any other shows?
I sure do!
Cute story from Wil Wheaton about Brent and his shenanigans 🥰
