A theatre robot. Who can emote and knows every play ever published. It gets updated once a month. When I need to audition for something, it will recommend monologues and songs for me. When I have to learn a new scene, it will run lines with me.
I NEED THIS TO BE REAL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE THREE PAGES OF LINES AND I'M BARELY OKAY ON PAGE ONE.

IM5 sans 1/5
OMG I'M GONNA SOB
We've actually known about Dalton leaving for. What. A week now? Something like that. But everyone's being super supportive of Dalton's choice. But it has been hard of course. And I'm sure the boys are doing all they can. But Cole is like, not even pretending to be okay. COLTON IS REAL (and by that I mean they were fantastic friends and I can't wait until they're like 30 something and their kids are like amazed that a guy from IM5 and a guy from FlyAwayHero have anything in common, let alone managed to stay friends for flippin ever). Boybands are a helluva drug.
(I am a year and some change older than these children. I've never even met them. I'm such a CREEP)

Shins
My shins are angry with me. They're mad because I didn't stretch properly before jogging today. They've been yelling at me since this morning. Hah. I'm so sorry T.T
Now to lie here until the pain goes away.
I COULD do my assignments for tomorrow and study for the midterms.
OR I could rewatch Avatar: the Last Airbender.
(As much as I wanna do the latter, I probably won't start homework until like 9 and won't start A:TLA until, like, Friday)

Problems without Solutions
Yes. We need more queer roles & actors.
Yes. We need more trans roles & actors.
Yes. We need more colored roles & actors.
Yes. We need more female roles & actors.
Yes. We need more overweight roles & actors.
We need stories that are realistic, unoffensive, honest, and empowering.
WE ARE ALL AWARE THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRY.
HOWEVER.
Instead of constantly complaining about it, I'd love some ideas. Write the script. Go ahead. Write a script that includes all of this. That is accurate. That has strong messages. Write the whole thing. And then find a way to sell it to the masses. I'm not kidding. Someone do it. Please. Someone do it. Because clearly it's incredibly easy and the change can be immediate so go ahead. Be the person to change it!
I need people to realize that this will not be an overnight change. If you can be the one to make it so, congratulations, you're better than the rest of us. Otherwise, you need to realize that we live in a society where change takes time. Jared Leto played a transsexual individual. He himself is not a transsexual. The fact that the role was even allowed in a popular film is a huge step from where we once were. Disney had its first black princess in 2009. Most of the movie, she was an animal, but she was still a black princess, which would never have happened in Walt's day. Actress Melissa McCarthy is a stout woman who has become very successful in her field. She gets a lot of hate and harsh words from the media, but she still gets great roles because she is recognized for her talent. Should we be satisfied with this and leave it at that? No. But stop being so angry. Change is coming. And yes, push for change to continue. But stop yelling and shouting because all that's doing is annoying people and making people like me, who agree with you, want to stop caring. There's a way to peacefully fight for things. And your argument is a lot more effective if you can speak eloquently without cursing every other sentence.
