The way that this is just my post put on a picture of Christian Bale for some reason. Okay
THIS CAN’T KEEP HAPPENING!!!!
I’m not overly fond of how the characterization for many characters in Season 3 of Hemlock Grove changed. Not to mention how many died.
I have issues with Shelley the most. Now don’t get me wrong, I think her being able to speak was interesting and seeing her gain independence and belonging is great. I’ve always wanted her to fight for her right to take care of herself and break free from the infantilization both Roman and Olivia put her in. But I hate how her speech and voice changed so drastically.
I understand a different actress played her for season 2 and 3 and that’s fine. Things happen. But we did get to hear the way Shelley “speaks” in season 1 and she’s very articulate. She spoke like a Jane Austen character (no doubt due to her love of literature) and that’s what I loved about her. But once she gained an actual voice, that part of her left.
The voice change is fine, it could be explained as her inner voice being different to her actual voice because she hadn’t spoken before and therefore didn’t know how she sounded. But why did all her eloquence vanish? There’s bits and pieces of her old speech pattern but it’s no where near the same.
Not to mention I don’t really fuck with this grown man she’s romantically involved with.

If you're at work in a retail or hospitality environment and you see a sex worker with a client... no you didn't.
If your boss asks you if you think that person's a sex worker, you tell them you do not believe that. You don't report their presence to anyone. You don't joke about it with a coworker. You don't eavesdrop or bother them.
We're working the same as you are. Leave us alone!
Some examples of situations where you might need to keep your mouth shut about a potential sex worker:
- You see someone you don't recognize walk past reception at your hotel to head directly for the stairs or elevator or towards the rooms without acknowledging you at the reception desk. Yes, this includes when the person is wearing revealing clothing or a nice dress and heels. This is not your business.
- You notice multiple men going to the same hotel room during the same evening, each only staying for an hour or so at a time. This is not your business.
- You seat two customers for dinner and work as their waiter/waitress for the night. You see one give an envelope of cash to the other. Yes, this includes when there's a huge age gap between the two and they're being affectionate. This is not your business.
- You overhear one customer ask another how much they charge for a night, whilst making drinks for them. You heard nothing. This is not your business.
I do not care what kind of retail or hospitality setting you work in. If you see a sex worker, no you didn't!
if the cops get involved, you know who gets punished? not any of the clients, only the sex worker. not a pimp, not the hotel manager, only the worker; and the cops are liable to sexually assault them as well.
if you have any qualms about sex work, you can start by improving workers' rights as a whole. demilitarizing police. increasing comprehensive sex ed for all ages. battling misogyny in the workplace. under the boot of capitalism, we all suffer - the most vulnerable, such as sex workers, suffer worst. leave them be.
@clownfluencer I swear this post attracts the MOST false info in the tags of any post I've made, with people being so confidently wrong.
As someone who has sold sex in Canada, the sex worker will be punished if caught! At minimum, this will be by being kicked out of the place you found them soliciting or seeing a client and lose out on money, but if the person is an immigrant on a work permit or is visiting from another country you'll get them deported/sent home and the engagement in prostitution will be logged and get them banned from travelling to various countries. There are absolutely serious consequences to reporting sex workers in Canada.
This is true anywhere clients are criminalized, therefore selling sex cannot be considered a legitimate profession, meaning it breaks the rules of work visas or a right to travel there.
Hey so, there was a much nicer way to say that and you could’ve contacted me privately about this instead.
I was telling the truth from how updated my knowledge is. When I wrote that which was like what…an hour or so ago? That was what I knew. Sex work is legal. Buying sex work is not.
I’m not following all the recent updates to the law but I looked at my governments take on this and this is what I found
I was talking specifically about Q3 here. It’s not a criminal offence to sell sexual services from your own person. Selling someone else’s sexual services like a pimp is though. Yes it gets more complicated than that depending on circumstances and yes you could be arrested which is why people need to stfu and mind their business if they suspect it. I was HOPING this would open peoples minds to questioning the legality around sex work in Canada and they would be smart enough to do some research based on my bare bones tags.
Honestly, there’s no shame in being a little wrong about your knowledge. I find out my knowledge is outdated like every other day. You have to make mistakes to learn and grow right? But there’s much nicer ways to tell someone they’re wrong than to do whatever the hell this was. I would’ve 100% had a real conversation about this with you and changed my perspective and edited my tags if you just reached out to me. But this little “look how wrong this person is omg you’re so stupid and confident about it too” thing is just rude as hell and no one is going to want to listen to someone like that.

Piping hot take: I don't give a shit if straight actors play queer characters as long as they do so with empathy and authenticity. When you say shit like "only queer actors should play queer characters" what you're actually saying is only OUT queer actors should play queer characters. If you're assuming an actor (or anyone else, for that matter) who hasn't declared their sexuality is straight, you are participating in heteronormativity.
you're also saying that you, as an audience member, are entitled to private and intimate details of actors' personal lives, fwiw.
if you ever read any interview with Tim Curry, he's always very clear about finding this absurd. we all pretty much assume Tim Curry is queer, but we'll never know, because he has absolutely point-blank refused to discuss his dating life with the public or the media, because it's nobody's business but his (and anyone he's dating ofc).
it's also like--
some of you younger folk really need to go watch the documentary on Paul Reubens. "Peewee as Himself." Like, the context might help a little? for why so many of us who grew up before Obergefell et al really, really, really fucking hate this narrative where the public has a right to every single facet and detail of an actor's life? especially a queer actor?
actors, musicians, comedians, entertainers, etc., don't owe their audiences jack fucking shit about their personal lives. we can all get over that absurd entitlement any time.
I was just talking with my partner about this a few weeks ago.
Lee Pace is similarly an incredibly private man. For a long time we the public knew absolutely nothing about his dating life or anything about his family outside of little bits and pieces he shared, and even that was deliberately as vague as possible.
He played a trans woman in Soldier's Girl. It's based on a true story, and he actually met with the trans woman his character is based on. During the interview, he said something to the effect of having several stark realizations about himself after working with her and learning her story and her journey and her life.
I make the joke that anyone transgender heard the distinct sound of an egg cracking during that interview. And yet, Pace did not come out. Not until he was forced to, years later.
As, simply, "queer".
We now know he is married to a man. We know he identifies as queer, mostly because he was forced to by an interviewer who has a reputation for forcing very private celebrities to come out or risk losing status. We know he has dated men and women. By his own admission that playing Calpernia gave him very strong gender feelings and he saw a lot of himself both in the fictionalized character he played and in the real woman whose presence he was wow'd by.
Lee Pace might be a trans woman who has found it better to boymode for the sake of an acting career. Lee Pace might be a trans woman who avidly does not want to invite a spotlight into that part of his life- and who could blame him? Lee Pace might be an egg who has just barely started to crack, peeked out from beyond the shell and is not yet comfortable leaving the closet. Or Pace might be nonbinary, genderqueer, gay-as-gender, or... simply a cis gay man who feels it is nunya and enjoys being a little fruity and feminine in his spare time.
I don't claim to know the inner workings of Pace's mind, sexuality, or gender. But I do think that it would be wrong to force Pace to share what he clearly is not comfortable sharing for the entire world to see.
When it comes to celebrities who are respectful and also private, I don't think it is a bad thing if what we as fans know about them doesn't quite match up with the demographic they're playing. Sometimes, there's a reason they found a piece of themselves in the role. And especially when it has the blessing of the real life person that role is based on (such as in the case of Calpernia) or of the real life LGBT people working with that celeb every day - maybe the people directly involved with this know more about this person than we do watching from the other side of the screen.

Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.
calling out @brightismarstonight because yes
“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.

Tfw when men do that thing where they pretend they have no control over their temper. LOL It’s so funny like am I supposed to pretend that I don’t know you’re completely self-aware and present during this rage performance. Or should I pretend you’re the tortured hero in a movie, possessed by a series of fabricated flashbacks of the war and your father
Someone put in the “Why Does He Do That” quote
Another one:
"Abuse is a problem of values, not of psychology... An abuser tries to keep everybody - his partner, his therapist, his friends and relatives - focused on how he feels, so that they won't focus on how he thinks, perhaps because on some level he is aware that if you grasp the true nature of his problem, you will begin to escape his domination."
