nothing you see is what you
think it is. in any way shape
or form. this business is just
that - business - and all we,
the entertainers, are is assets.
pawns on a fucking
chessboard in games that pit
corporations against each
other. we follow every order,
every demand, every request
the companies we work with
ask of us without hesitation.
we aren't people, we're
property. we aren't actors,
we're action figures. media's
a joke and fame is a joke.
passion is pitiful. none of
these actors have passion.
none of them care about what
they're doing. not because they
never did, but because they've
been drained of it. we're
controlled by organizations
that sign us when we're young,
dumb, and desperate - when
we're most vulnerable - so we
kip the fine print knowing we'll
have a life laid out for us. and
we do, but it's not our life. it
never is. we do whatever we're
asked to keep us relevant, in the
news, a hot topic. contractual
obligations keep us from doing
the things we want to do, and
loving the people we want to
love.

damn yalls agencies have so
much ❤️ for their fans huh

statistics 💓
i'm trying to be serious, elsie.
i know you're mad or hurt and
i know what i did was bullshit
but i'm trying to explain

elsie
continue, then

statistics 💓
saoirse means nothing to me

statistics 💓
romantically at least

statistics 💓
our agency wanted us to be
in love, to do cute things in
public for publicity. that
sounds so simple, i know,
and it sounds like we could
have just said no. but that's
not how it works. one slip
up, one incorrect move, one
mistake could mean
everything. we're puppets on
fragile strings - stretch to far
and we're cut off. when you're
cut off, you're done. no other
agency will pick you up
knowing you disobeyed, no
directors will hire if you lack a
manager who can talk you up,
no auditions are offered when
your credibility crumbles like
that. so when they decided me
and saoirse needed to be
together, we had no choice.
saoirse's falling apart over it -
she loves her high school
boyfriend from back home - and
i'm in the same boat as her. kinda.
but she's using every penny
she's made from every role
she's gotten to take care of her
parents, so losing her job is not
an option, and she's stressed
that to me as many times as
she possibly could.

elsie
so what are you trying to tell me?
yeah this is all fucked, i hate that
this is happening to you guys,
but what are you leading up to?
it's not like you can drop out on
this deal. your careers are on the
line.

statistics 💓
go outside, just for a moment.

elsie
timothee, i'm not sure if you
noticed, but it's a rare day
today where it's pouring down
raining in LA

statistics 💓
please

statistics 💓

elsie
jesus, tim
