Only because there’s no box on the license application that says “donate body to be chummed and thrown on rich people”.

But for real if my vacated body can save someone else’s life or make it better by all means get that shit.

I hadn’t even thought of this. Apparently it gave him terrible headaches too, because they screwed the damn visor into his head. Crazy. Poor guy.

I can’t not think of Peanut Hamper.

Oh, I assumed he was talking about something written for him recently. Sulu showed up in Lower Decks not too long ago, and I know the franchise in general has a penchant for nostalgia at the moment. He certainly seemed to have a little more of a Takei tone in his LD appearance, but that may also just be him having grown more into himself over the years.

But yeah, if it’s someone else playing it and it doesn’t inform an established performance, then whatever.

I mean, if it informs the performance meaningfully, it’s part of the end product. Doesn’t mean it’s necessarily canon or whatever, but it certainly has the potential to impact later performances if direction moves away from the actor’s previous internal preparation.

I could see it being off-putting to work under a director or with writing that bleeds your public personality into your role, especially if it’s one you’ve gotten to a certain place with.

Like even as a roleplayer, any character i might embody in the moment has a life of its own that’s distinct from mine, and would make decisions that I wouldn’t. If someone tried to push me into acting a way that’s more typical of myself out of character or that’s more in line with a different character I play, or if they reacted to the character based on that outside stuff, I’d certainly resist it.

Clearly Rom is neutral good and Moogie is chaotic good.

You can’t eat money either. You can use passion to create food, though.

Also I’m totally living that lie. Might be a crapshoot to try it, but it’s working for me. It’d probably work for a lot of miserable 9-5ers.

Seems like a real good reason to get independent and start doing things for passion instead of for money.

I get out my sunglasses and prepare for lens flare.

That looks like a shut up kiss that didn’t work on either of them.

This honestly went the other way around for me. There was a lot of stuff I couldn’t manage as a teenager and in my 20s, and a lot of pain I had that I don’t have anymore. Though I definitely have to do more negotiating with my body about food.

But I started taking estrogen in my early 30s, which seemed to make a big difference.

If it helps, everyone else around our age is also creeping up on 40.

I don’t think we spontaneously turn into our parents or adopt the thinking of their generation.

They’re all transporter clones anyway.
