Amazing and easy-to-understand lecture/ explanation of the three-act structure told through the analysis of Toy Story 3 by its screenwriter Michael Arndt. The video is over an hour long but totally worth the time. (TS3 really is the perfect ending of the whole series, it’s been almost a year and I’m still not over how TS4 ruined it for me)
Pencil drawing of Wei Wuxian from “The Untamed”
I have drawn so little for the past year or so but thanks for the quarantine, I got the time and mood to finish reading a book, binge watched the whole adaptation series then spent 9 days in drawing a portrait for the first time in a long time. This shot in which he dropped a tear playing the flute was so pretty I had to draw it :P
Sorry for cropping and blurring the picture as well as the watermark. I had my art repost without consent before and I absolutely hated it.

Being in a fandom on Tumblr
And it reached its epic conclusion
I CHOKED ON FUNDIP
HISTORY HAS BEEN ENGRAVED INTO THIS POST
Happy New Year! My leftover merch is now on my Tictail shop, including my House notebooks! I only have a few of each left, and I’m taking domestic orders at the same time, so you’ll have to be quick.
I’ve also put some of my older prints/merch on sale, as they’re down to the last few - Tictail’s platform is ending its services in April so I don’t think I’ll be selling merch anymore after that. If you wanted any of my old HPCC prints, now is probably the chance :)
As for shipping, it’s still a flat rate of $3.50 for prints, but $6 for the notebooks (+$1 for each additional notebook) because of the weight. I’m offering free shipping for orders over $30 though!
As always, thank you to all my followers for your support and love for my art through the few years I’ve been here! I’m planning on doing more original art in 2019, but I hope you’ll still stick around for that too <3
Reblogging this as a reminder that my online shop will be closing on the 31st of March! I’m in the process of recounting my stock so that I can take email orders in the future, but if you’d like to snag a few prints while the process is less cumbersome, I’d def recommend doing so while my shop is still up.
I still have a small number of Cursed Child / Scorbus related prints left in case anyone is interested :D

When I say “Fanfiction is free” part of what I’m saying is yes, you did not pay for the thing.
But I saw a comment from someone that made me realize the rest of the intention behind these words is being lost.
Fanfiction is provided for free, but it is not produced for free.
Authors pay their effort, including physical and emotional and mental. Authors pay their time, in planning the story (mental time) and writing the story (physical time). Sometimes it’s less than an hour for something quick and dirty, like askbox prompts. Sometimes it’s years of their lives in epic fic hundreds of thousands of words long. Authors pay additional time to alpha read their own stories, trying to make sure that they’re free of SPAG errors and make sense and sound good. Beta readers pay their time and effort alongside the authors for editing the stories. Authors pay for posting their stories with all of the anxieties that come from allowing their work - which to this point they have invested all of the above - into the public eye because while it has certainly cost them a good amount to produce the story, fandom history has proved that many other people out there enjoy fanfiction, and authors believe that at least someone else will enjoy their story, too.
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that it costs the writers a lot of something in order to produce it. A lot has already been paid into a piece of fanfiction by the time it is available for readers to read. The expense of fanfiction creation is, by and large, resting squarely atop the shoulders of writers.
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that readers don’t have to pay the cost of creating fanfiction.
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is that readers don’t have to pay in anything - not time, not money, not effort, not anything - in order for fanfiction to be created. It’s a donation. It’s a gift. It’s available for you to take or leave, at the expense of someone else.
Writers have, for a very long time, requested donations of one thing as remuneration for everything they put into making fanfiction: comments. Authors have asked, in so many different iterations: “If you have consumed what I have labored and invested in to create and if you have found any enjoyment in it, please tell me, so that I can recharge enough to do this again.” Some of them may recharge on critical comments, but most of us don’t because we’ve already paid everything we want to pay to create the story.
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” isn’t just that it doesn’t cost you any money. I am saying “Please respect the time and effort you didn’t have to pay into creating this thing you enjoyed, by respecting the individual creator’s requests.”
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “be kind to authors, they have paid a lot for this gift they’re sharing with all of us, and they deserve to feel like it was worth it.”
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please don’t charge authors more time and emotional effort than what they’ve already provided you at no absolute cost.”
I’m not saying any of this to argue. It’s a fact that authors pay into providing fanfiction. They do it for fun. They do it out of love. They do it because they enjoy writing. No one is making them do it. No one is paying them to start or finish the story. That doesn’t mean it’s not WORK. And the only return they get on what they put into the story is the kindness of strangers that invest a little bit back by leaving a nice comment. That is why they stay, that is why they do it again, that is why we have fanfiction.
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please don’t be the one charging authors so much more that they leave.”
What I am saying when I say “fanfiction is free” is “please keep it that way.”
I like to say that I appreciate all kind of support and in a way, I do, but it’s seriously frustrating to update my fic, get close to 100 views on that chapter within two to three days but only getting 1-2 comments or not getting comment at all when I know as a fact that there’re that many people who do follow it and who do read the newest chapter as soon as possible.
you get paid for it / monetise your writing
you write original fiction not ‘just’ fanfiction
you are published somewhere
somebody else tells you that you fit their definition of ‘being a writer’
everybody knows about your writing including parents, work colleagues, friends, your three dogs, two cats and a tortoise called George
you have very fancy pens and an ink pot
you have a vintage typewriter
you once went to a murder mystery party where you took on the character of Lady of the Manor, a celebrated diarist with a penchant for poison and beautiful women
You write stuff. Not because you have to, because school projects made you, because you thought you’d give it a shot then hated it, but because you want to.
They make you feel things, those stories you want to tell. They make you feel so much it’s like they’re burning inside you, clamouring for attention, demanding you give them a voice. Stories can be assholes like that.
You watch the world go by and make up new characters based on people on buses and trains, craft new universes on scraps of paper just because you saw this cool gargoyle on a building. You wonder what it would be like if Harry Potter went to university too, and you write about that. You scribble thoughts in diaries, jot down poems in tatty notebooks, spends hours dreaming about characters - yours and other peoples - and you tell stories about them. You study canon and you fill in the gaps, write new endings, choose your own pairings, bring your favourites back from the dead or write your grief as they die all over again. You merge universes, twist tropes, make the devastating fluffy and the fluff dark.
You publish online, you don’t publish online, you don’t publish at all. You write yourself into worlds, you write yourself out of them. You give yourself a world where you can be whoever you want to be or you find catharsis in exploring one where you can’t. You kill your darlings and you bring them back to life. You dream of monsters and demons and envisage worlds where they exist, or you give them human faces and explore where the real evil lies. You write novels in manuscript nobody but you can read and shove them under your bed and dig them out again a decade later when they’re dusty and all the ink has faded. You get a new fountain pen and the first thing you do is write a sonnet about a member of One Direction. You write love letters to your characters, write love letters as your characters, you don’t write love letters at all. You create new worlds, put your own spin on existing ones and you write.
That’s it. You might not get to call yourself a professional writer, but you’re a writer and somewhere out there is a reader, waiting to pick up your story.
So write it. And don’t ever let anybody shame you into thinking you’re not writer enough to tell it.
i thought i’d make an faq filled with every excuse in the book about reposting, for those who still don’t understand why it’s bad…or for people who don’t know what to say in retaliation to these! so here we go.
first of all, an artist doesn’t even NEED to explain themselves. in the same way with someone who says “dude, make sure that soda is diet” or “please don’t tickle me”. they don’t want you to do it. you don’t need to test them by ignoring them. the reason doesn’t matter: it’s the person’s wish with THEIR things. if you had any respect for others, you’d just take it at that.
BUT for some people, they don’t want to respect others at face value, and want their reason. (which, i might add, is rude.) so let’s get into that:
no.
you’re not giving artists exposure. for people like myself, freelance artists, you’re hurting us. about a year ago, i sent my portfolio off to an indie game. in it, i had a piece of work that had been reposted (that i didn’t even know about). i was told much later that they “looked into it” and saw that my work was posted by someone else, which means now they have no idea who the artist was, and THEREFORE can’t be sure my work was legit. i lost a potential job to a repost.
doesn’t matter if you say “i didn’t draw this”. sometimes, they don’t even look. they just look to see if it’s on any site other than your own. and that’s terrifying for artists. so don’t endanger our livelihood for instagram likes.
besides, you’re not even giving exposure if you didn’t credit, cropped out the signature, or somehow made the resolution so low to where you can’t even see the signature. which brings me to…
some people still don’t want it reposted even with credit. the last answer should show you one of the many reasons why.
and it’s MY art you posted. you can’t take something i did and do whatever you want with it. imagine if you took someones drawing, photocopied it, and spread it all around the town without their permission. they’d have every right to be angry, right?
i have to post my art onto my websites to build a fanbase, something crucial to an artist. it shouldn’t be on ME to not post it in the first place, it should be on YOU to not repost it. you’re just echoing victim-blaming arguments.
you’re basically saying “if you don’t want to be bullied, don’t exist.” which is a terrible thing to teach people, rather than “be nice and respectful towards others.” yes, i know our world isn’t perfect. but that’s no excuse to contribute to vile things.
good for you! good for them! but did you know there’s more people in the world other than just you and your friend? we have wishes and feelings too, so you don’t get to project your own emotions onto what WE should be feeling as well. i love peaches. some people don’t like them. that doesn’t mean that now they have to eat peaches because i don’t mind them.
go steal the mona lisa and tell me how that works out.
everyone can VIEW it, yes. artists want others to view their work! we just don’t want you to do stuff with it we asked you not to do.
putting my work on items and selling it is totally illegal. van gogh’s work is owned by companies now, who have authorization to print it on things. and i’m just ONE freelance artist who is, you know, still alive and not giving permission to do that. you can’t compare a dead artist from the 1800s to a digital artist in 2017. apples to oranges, my dude.
because saying “the artist” really tells people who i am and lets them visit my websites! thank you so much!
but all sarcasm aside, that doesn’t do anything other than show you were too lazy to find the artist. same thing with “source: the internet” and “who drew this xD” or misspelling my url on purpose or putting the credit under a cut. OR cropping the image to cut off my signature! you didn’t give me credit.
i’ll have the social media i want to have. not up to me to make more accounts on more things just so you won’t disrespect me.
reverse google image search is so great.
also, if you didn’t know the artist, that’s a HUGE reason not to repost it in the first place!! you didn’t even know if it was okay since you never got to see their position on that!!
take down your video with stolen fan art. take down your entire fan art twitter account. i don’t care “how hard it was to save those images” or “how many views you have now”. you got all that attention from someone else’s hard work. searching for art will never be as hard as making it. if it were that easy, you’d be drawing all the art yourself.
yeah, i feel you. it’s the same thing as when you ask your mom if you can borrow some money, she doesn’t answer, so you just steal it from her purse. no answer means the answer you want to hear, right?
wrong. don’t take “unresponsive” as a yes. that’s disgusting.
one day you’re gonna come across an artist who has no chill and wants to sue, and can actually do it, since some people put their work under HEAVY copyright. and i’m gonna kick back in my chair with a nice capri sun and watch it all happen, since you have that kind of attitude towards people.
yes, this whole thing seems a bit. well. “salty”, as some would put it. and i have every right to be irritated over this. all these questions are asking “WHY should i respect their wishes? give me a reason” or “but here is my excuse rather than just taking it down”. time after time, artists are villainized just for telling people not to repost.
like i said, the artist not wanting you to repost it SHOULD be reason enough! we’re so tired of having to fight people just to have respect for our art. we have to deal with tracing constantly, so can you please take reposting off our plates? i know bad things will always happen, but that’s no reason to make it worse by contributing.
artists are generously putting our art out there for free. if you want to keep seeing our art for free (btw we don’t HAVE to, all the big artists could just up and leave and go to patreon), maybe show us some respect? because we get pretty dejected when we see strangers getting attention from something we did, and it makes us want to remove everything we show you guys. you say “don’t post it then!” but would be mad if all fan art disappeared.
if you want to keep the art, respect the artist making it. there’s a real person behind that drawing.
This is THE best post on Tumblr.
Reblogging.
putting this here on my art blog for once for all of you who reposted my art although I said multiple times that I don’t like it. If you have anything reposted from me, take it down now.
DO NOT REPOST MY ART.
Everyone struggles with this feeling.
But you know exactly how much work you put into your art, how many hours and how much care and love went into your pictures and no matter the amount of likes or retweets you get, you KNOW the worth of your work.
I’ve had this feeling bothering me a lot lately and I know I’m not alone out there, so here’s some positivity for all of you from my main artblog!
This is totally relatable for me but more for my fanfics because I care too much about follows, favorites and comments whereas I’m so used to no one caring about my art here that I don’t take the lack of responses to my art personally much
From the deepest part of my heart I want you to know saying “credit to the owner/creator” on content you’ve reposted without permission means absolutely nothing and does nothing to absolve you of content theft and you can rot in it
This! I was “lucky” enough to only have this happened to me once but it hurt so much even to see 20 likes on a repost when my own post only got 3 likes.
I don't know who to ask this and i've seen you talk about knowing stuff about the movie industry so here goes-- I don't understand what makes a movie a hit/box office success. like I get a movie needing to earn back it's budget and more is a good thing, and that there's a difference in 'box office success' between a mainstream movie and an independent film. but what makes a mainstream movie 'financial successful' compared to an indy in terms of how much money each movie has to make- Cont.
Cont- and like depending on the movie the International market/box office (China?) is more important than the US box office– so like ex. Crazy Rich Asians made $174,532,921 in the US, and $238,532,921 US+restofWorld with a Budget of $30M, and it’s considered a hit/success even though. $238+M is not as big as with movies like Black Panther. so like can you explain- Cont- 2/3
Cont 3- Reason why I was asking is cause I was looking at how the Fantastic Beasts Series is doing- and people are saying it’s not doing so good and that worries me.
I’m really worried about the announcement that FB3 got a delayed start of production/filming and people talking that it’s due to FB2 not doing as well box office-wise and I’m terrified it’s gonna get cancelled and we’re not going to get the remaining 3-2 movies. I really loved the Fantastic Beasts movies and want them to do well. :(
It’s funny, but I get a lot of asks just like this one. My attitude is to just wait and see. There’s nothing we can do about it, so think of Newt: “Worrying means you suffer twice.” 😉
You seem to know a lot about the financials already. There’s not much more I can tell you other than that Crimes of Grindelwald was not a financial failure as a film, not remotely. It just didn’t do well in comparison to the other HP films.
I think you get that when a movie that costs $30M ends up making $238M the profit is more significant than a $100M movie that makes $238M.
CRA–budget, $30M, gross $238M, profit of $208M
BP had a budget of $200M and made $1.34B (holy shit), which is exceptional, so maybe not he best comparison.
CoG–budget $200M, it made $649M as of January.
BlacKkKlansman cost $15 and made $48M
Solo cost $250M and made $392M.
So profit is relative to budget and expectations. It’s always expected that indie films will make a lot less, so their budgets are a lot less to maximise profit. When one does as well as Crazy Rich Asians, it’s unusual. Solo, with it’s huge budget, made much less profit comparatively speaking, so it was a disappointment. Crimes of Grindelwald did okay, but not as well as hoped. (Prisoner of Azkaban made a million or so less than Chamber of Secrets, but then Goblet of Fire’s gross was back at CS levels.)
Box Office Mojo – for anyone interested in this stuff.
The delay in FB3′s production is disturbing. I wish we knew more about the reasons for it. But as of now we don’t, so we just have to cross our fingers.
I’m quite into box office data so I can explain a little about this. As a general rule of thumb, any movie needs to make twice its budget in box office to break even. The budget reported for a movie always means its production budget, which excludes the marketing budget, which always go very high for blockbuster movies, especially one like CoG with a huge marketing campaign (this could get as high as the production budget).
Movie studios split box office gross with the movie theaters and in some case with distributors too. They value domestic box office more than international box office because they get a higher split ratio in their domestic gross than international gross. The split ratio in China is among the worst that they only make back about 25% of their gross from China. Indies generally have very little marketing campaign and of course their production budget is always very low that when a movie like CRA makes about 240M from a 30M gross, studio will likely make 50-100M net profit, which is awesome for them when they spent so little into making it.
For CoG, its production budget was 200M and has made almost 650M. The overall budget would be about 400M. About 75% of its box office gross was international so it got back a smaller split there. It’s certainly not a flop but is definitely a disappointment for WB. When studios spent 200M to make a movie, they’re likely expecting >100M net profit instead of 30M.
Deadline does a most valuable movie blockbuster tournament every year and here’s FB entry for reference. In summary, FB’s budget was 180M, made 812M in box office and studio net profit was about 164M. With a higher budget and lower box office gross, CoG’s net profit will be much lower than that.
Here’s the studio net profit data of some of 2017′s movies for frame of reference if anyone is interested.
(2018′s data isn’t released yet but infinity war is said to have made > 600M net profit)
I can’t say for sure but CoG’s lower box office take is quite likely the main reason they delay production for the third FB movie and WB will have to be very careful with the third movie.
~19 years later~ The scar had not pained Harry. All was well.
I ended up scrapping my artbook project for various reasons, so here is the CC/Scorbus illustration I drew for it. I’m kinda sad I won’t be able to see this across two large pages, but at least I’ve had it printed as a postcard print instead!
I'm a bit sad not being able to buy an artbook but at least I got all the prints. This is my favorite of all the new prints.
My latest order from @plati-arts arrived last week, just a week after I placed the order! I was very excited about it but have been so busy that I only have time to post it now.
you know hes like. a known abuser right lol
*she
Amber Heard abusing Johnny Depp
For two years now we know that she abused Johnny, yet everyone keeps ignoring it. Today Johnny made a claim in court papers which he can proof with photos. there also are a lot of other things that proof her abuse:
At the Sept. 14 premiere of Johnny Depp‘s new film Black Mass at the Toronto International Film Festival, photographers captured the passion on the red carpet between the star and his wife, Amber Heard, who kissed and cuddled for the cameras.But away from the shutterbugs, a source says, the newlyweds got hot and bothered in a different way. Amber, 29, hovered near her hubby as he schmoozed, and when she saw him chatting with a young woman, the source says, “she stormed over and tried to butt in.”When Johnny, 52, continued the conversation, she “looked livid” and quickly pulled him aside. The source says, “She talked to him like a child. Johnny smiled awkwardly and seemed to calm her down, because the next minute they were holding hands again and she was all smiles.”According to the insider, this volatility is nothing new for the couple, who wed in February and bicker about everything from his female fans to Johnny’s recent weight gain. She’s bothered so much that Amber has begun dictating his diet. “She says he looks like a mess now,” says the source.“Amber is very loving toward Johnny — but if things aren’t the way she wants, all hell breaks loose,” the insider says.Friends who’ve witnessed the actor bend to Amber’s controlling ways are wondering what happened to his rebellious spirit. “He’s blinded by love,” the source says. “He’ll do anything she wants — and she knows it.”http://www.celebitchy.com/449943/star_amber_heard_was_livid_at_johnny_depp_but_all_smiles_for_cameras/
there are more stories like this example: at the lone ranger premiere in disneyland she was super rude to everyone basically,
when they were on their honeymoon Johnny was greeting fans and got annoyed by that
she hits him multiple times during that stupid Overhaulin’ episode he did specially for her
she pulled him away from his fans at a Japanse airport in 2013 (notice how she really pulls him and just refuses to let go)
she also pulled him away while he was in the middle of a conversation with someone at the hollywood film awards in 2015
she taunted him on instagram by posing with her fist and adding a comment about ink (referring to his former slim tattoo) she had made countless of refs to him in interviews in such, still taunting him
she can’t do an interview without mentioning him, bullying him
combine this with Doug Stanhope’s statement:
We’d watched it build like this since before they were married. We’d watched her manipulate and f— with him for years. We didn’t say a word. To each other, yes, but never to him. When your friend is in an awful, abusive relationship — man or woman — …http://www.thewrap.com/johnny-depp-is-being-blackmailed-by-amber-heard-heres-how-i-know-guest-column/
and here abusing her ex-wife:
http://www.tmz.com/2016/06/07/amber-heard-domestic-violence-arrest-partner-tasya-van-ree/ (in this link you can find an audio of her in the court room)

and the statements from his bodyguards and the police:
normally she was the one who had to be physically pulled off of Johnny. Reportedly she would throw bottles, scream and “charge” at him. The guards will testify during the restraining order hearing in June. http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/05/31/amber-heard-johnny-depp-bodyguards-no-abuse-claims/
On May 21, 2016, officers responded to a domestic incident radio call…” LAPD Sgt. Marlon Marrache says. “The person reporting the crime [Heard] did not insist on a report and no report was warranted. There was no evidence of any crime. A crime did not occur so the officers left the scene and left a business card.”Marrache adds that if there had been any signs of abuse, officers would have conducted an investigation, regardless of what Heard said had happened.http://ew.com/article/2016/05/27/johnny-depp-amber-heard-police-investigated-abuse-claim-no-evidence-crime-found/
a part of the court doc (from johnny suing the sun for defamation because the called him a wife beater which he clearly isn’t) in his evidence list which can be found below you can see that johnny has photos as evidence that match the timestamp of this attack
and his evidence list: (which includes text, photos, witnesses)
see full here: http://bybyeblackbird.tumblr.com/post/168411141303/so-it-turns-out-that-the-evidence-and-witness
after that witness list was revealed she dropped the case and ro with prejudice:
also this interview where he talks about the false accusations: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/johnny-depp-interview-2018
And this:
“In his GQ interview, Mr. Depp is simply defending himself against Ms. Heard’s lingering, false abuse accusations,” Adam Waldman, Depp’s lawyer, said in a statement issued to Newsweek. “Johnny Depp is a victim of violent abuse.”
Depp’s team rejected that statement, and his attorney suggested the “shameful psychological abuse” it mentions stems from Heard’s “continuing cynical manipulation of the important #metoo movement and its real victims.”
“Ms. Heard has been previously arrested and spent the night in jail for domestic abuse (an arrest that was initially blamed on police homophobia, although the arresting officer later averred to being a gay rights activist),” Waldman said in the statement to Newsweek. “Ms. Heard has admitted to multiple violent attacks against Johnny Depp that caused serious injury. Eyewitness, photographic, and previous sworn testimony will be presented to the court.”
Added Waldman, “Regarding the confidentiality agreement of which Ms. Heard’s counsel complains, Ms. Heard started violating it before the ink dried, first with a statement, and soon after with a domestic violence PSA asking ‘how is this happening to me?’ purporting to give advice to real victims. More breaches followed.”
Waldman confirmed to Newsweek that court proceedings into the abuse allegations will take place in November in Britain. Depp’s team intends to submit evidence proving Heard “faked” all allegations of abuse. Depp’s camp will present “clear evidence of the violence committed serially against him by Ms. Heard and the serious injuries that he suffered,” Waldman added.
and this:
“Two days ago, Amber Heard’s lawyers professed their ‘outrage’ to the media that Johnny Depp had finally spoken in self-defense,” Depp lawyer Adam Waldman of The Endeavor Group wrote in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Friday. “I responded with what happens next — we will submit overwhelming evidence to a U.K. court next month that Ms. Heard repeatedly violently attacked and severely injured Mr. Depp, and then faked abuse allegations against him. Ms. Heard became in the process an imposter in the #MeToo movement who abused the trust and experiences of real survivors for her own reputational gain.”
Depp’s team is previewing the evidence that it will present in the upcoming court hearing in the U.K. this fall tied to a defamation lawsuit against The Sun for an article that labeled the actor a “wife beater.”
“Our evidence will include photographs, sworn testimony and admissions, and eyewitness accounts,” Waldman wrote. “Ms. Heard, who has a prior arrest for domestic abuse, and her lawyers have responded to these remarkable disclosures with two days of profound silence, excepting social media posts of Ms. Heard wrapped in an American flag asserting: ‘we survivors…’”
Waldman concludes, “Ms. Heard’s lawyer publicly claimed Ms. Heard has unconsulted witnesses, but none have materialized. We would like to hear, and believe the public should hear, what, if anything, such ‘witnesses’ have to say, so that those statements may be held to account against our imminent court filings.”
and this:
An attorney for Depp tells PEOPLE in a statement, “Were Ms. Heard’s faked abuse claims presented yet again at a real #metoo event this week a ‘confidential arbitration’? Ms. Heard (and lately her new attorney) have been peddling easily disproven fake abuse claims for over 2 years in public, and now that real evidence is coming, exhibit a sudden and predictable desire for confidentiality.”
When you falsely accuse your husband of domestic abuse, but instead end up bringing your abuse of him to light.
……..
Holy shit
Wow. I feel terrible that I thought Johnny Depp was the abuser. I made the same mistake with Evan Peters, thinking he was the abuser, and not Emma Roberts. Amber Heard is horrible!
Okay so first of all I want to make it very clear that I don’t blame anybody for believing Johnny was guilty. Nobody’s perfect and everyone makes mistakes.
That being said we must never forget that
We only succeed in hurting innocent people in a way that cannot be undone.
The court of public opinion is a terrible place to look for Justice. No to mention, THIS is just another one of so many reasons why so many of us scream at the top of the mountain that
I mean even the people we don’t like deserve due process if for no other reason than to protect ourselves should we find ourselves in the same boat.
Until we have all the evidence we can’t be 100% sure. THERE’S ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT WE CAN BE WRONG.
Even if someone wants to do the spiel about there not being enough arrest/ convictions, putting an innocent man in a jail DOSE NOT take a guilty man off the street.
I can’t stress enough that we should never take accusations like these as a proof guilt because we can not turn the clock back.
We might be wrong, but I’m keeping this anyway because this is the first time I’ve seen like all the counter-evidence in one place.
Wow…I feel really bad for Depp now, after all the things I said about him.
bc some people refuse to believe that a woman can also be abusive…
In highschool, there were a lot of girls who were violent. You know, the “cute violent” but in reality, it wasn’t like that…
I fucking knew it
Imagine you have to drag a library of well documented instances just to show people this woman is trash but a guy can get crucified without so much as a sticky note of evidence to prove he did the crime. We have a long way to go to undo this double standard.
