All credit goes to the amazing Luna over on Tenforward.social.

Seriously. A fucking awesome person with an even better taste in memes. Also great at giving hugs and a thousand times funnier than I am.

PNG template for the ‘This Guy Sucks’ part can be found here as provided by the equally epic and truly wonderful Maurice over on Tenforward.social, although originally created by ‘ihaveaweirdidea’ over on Tumblr.

So happy that I’ve been able to spend my time lately around two people who are so kind, generous, and incredible. You could do a lot worse than following them on Mastodon. Just saying.

    Sometimes the actors know their characters a lot better than the writers. For example, in the empire strikes back, the original script had Han saying something else, whereas Ford came up with the ‘I know’, which fits much better with his character.

    Kershner: (Tries it out) “I love you.” And you say, “Just remember that, Leia, because I’ll be back.” You’ve got to say, “I’ll be back.” You must. It’s almost contractual!

    Ford: If she says “I love you,” and I say “I know,” that’s beautiful and acceptable and funny.

    Kershner: Right, right.

      Or Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.

      One of the most influential science fiction monologues was ad libbed, and it’s so much better than the original script.

      Original script:

      “I’ve seen things… seen things you little people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium… I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments… they’ll be gone.”

      Hauer’s monologue:

      “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.”
