Content warning: Pinned post, about following from multiple addresses
Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.
I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.
Content warning: pinned opinion about nude scenes in films
My opinion about nude scenes in films: against my own interests I believe that they are always avoidable and the same impressions can be achieved in other ways.
Many actresses are somewhere in their career forced to do a nude (sex) scene. The male actors hardly ever are. To me the purpose seems sales rather than art. I'd wish for films to never include nude scenes and to always use suggestion instead.
When I reshare a Twitter post from my own feed there, onto this fediverse account, it's only things I would otherwise have posted here anyway but this way it saves me typing it twice. It's not something unattended at all (as proven by the manual resharing), just somewhat lazy. I also leave out stuff that's not fitting for the fediverse. #CrossPosting
Hi, this me from my Friendica instance. I also post from @GidiKroon@mastodon.social, @gidi@pleroma.gidikroon.eu as well as from Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr as @GidiKroon but I'm mainly using my own Friendica for now. Even though I have been on the fediverse for a few years, I've never done an #Introduction post, so let's do one for this channel.
I tend to post about actresses and singers I'm a fan of, sharing news about their new projects as well as my thoughts about films and tv I watch. In between I give my take on political things as well as about the fediverse. When I learn new things hosting a fediverse server or other technical things, I try to share them here too. Longer posts may end up on my blog gidikroon.eu (which you can follow at @GidiKroon@gidikroon.eu).
In real life I work as a software developer, but I keep work separate from a private account like this. I play (beach) volleyball when I can, at a very low level. I live i... show more

I live in the Netherlands and occasionally cycle and take photographs. I read and watch sci-fi and fantasy, and am interested in ways to achieve social justice, gender and race equality, sustainable energy use and climate justice.
Feel free to follow, as I will also follow other accounts I find interesting without expectation of them following back. Feel free to share (boost, repeat) my posts if you want, using whatever share function comes with your platform. I tend to close DMs to only allow people I follow. I check my fediverse accounts only one or a few times a day, typically on my phone or tablet, so I tend to not be part of live discussions.
Dafne Keen as Jecki Lon in The Acolyte can be seen in these first look photos of the character in Entertainment Weekly, together with an interview where Dafne talks about the character, how she played her, and that the horns made hugging anyone on set a safety hazard. https://ew.com/star-wars-the-acolyte-exclusive-first-photos-dafne-keen-jecki-lon-8622948
She sounds like a really interesting character and I have full faith that Dafne makes her amazing. The trailer suggested the role is small though, but I hope we get to really explore this character. After all, I'm not a Star Wars person, I would be watching it solely for Dafne.
Disney+ has announced its newest "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte", set in the final days of the High Republic era, will premiere June 4. The cast includes Amandla Stenberg, Jodie Turner-Smith and Carrie-Anne Moss. #StarWars #TheAcolyte #DisneyPlus #Lucasfilm #Entertainment #Television #TV #Streaming
I'm watching Dafne Keen in the film Ana. It's rather difficult to find outside the US, even when you know it is sometimes called The Guardian. But I can confirm that the US blu-ray disc also plays in my European player.
The film is from 2020, so a while ago, and only the second film with Dafne that I get to see. From the trailer it seems interesting. But I would watch films with Dafne anyway... #DafneKeen #Ana
Dafne Keen. Actress: Logan Noir. Dafne Keen Fernández is a British and Spanish actress who played the role of the mutant Laura Kinney / X-23 in Logan Noir (2017) and Lyra in the HBO series His Dark Materials (2019).
Dafne was 14 when the film was released, but I think it may be filmed even earlier. She doesn't look much older than she was in Logan and she does look much younger than in His Dark Materials.
She plays a child who seconds after her mother got arrested gets under the skin of a used cars salesman and becomes his problem.
I really liked it, it isn't the standard story you're expecting from the trailer. Dafne is of course the powerhouse you'd expect.
I like the scene over the end credits, where Dafne/Ana shows how to record a proper advert for Rafa's used car business, after Rafa at the beginning of the film tries (and fails) the record a great advert to get some much needed attention for his business. #DafneKeen #Ana
I'm doing a rewatch in honour of Dafne Keen's birthday last Thursday. The Acolyte is not out yet and Ana is still not showing anywhere on streaming in my country, so it'll be an episode of His Dark Materials. Episode 1x05 is the one I like to watch. Where Dafne shows that Lyra being brave doesn't mean she isn't scared.
Dafne Keen is such a good actress. A lead character can be made to look cool by writing cool things for them to do, but that's not the trick here. With Dafne's Lyra it's pure acting. It's interacting with other characters, the emotions, the frustration, the drive. And I'm also noticing that she has chemistry with every character she interacts with, not just Will but also Lee, Ma Costa and the leaders of the Gyptians.
Dafne Keen is going to be in a film called Whistle. She just posted a screenshot of what I think is a Deadline article announcing it, but when I look for it I can't find it (and the rss feed didn't show it up either). So no link, no further details, just the title. #DafneKeen #Whistle
Rewatching His Dark Materials series 3 from my blu-ray that arrived a few days ago. At episode two, so bear on a boat. Lyra is still asleep, but fortunately Dafne Keen has actual acting to do besides lying in bed, also these early episodes. #HisDarkMaterials #DafneKeen
Sometimes I flippantly say to myself that I like all of His Dark Materials series 3 except the business with Lord Asriel, his war, the Angels and the Authority, Will's father, the wandering doctor... which is basically all of it. But that's not fair, there's enough of Lyra, Mrs Coulter is also interesting though I don't understand her, the Magisterium is always funny with Dafne's father chasing Lyra.
But there's a thing I really dislike about Lord Asriel: he pretends to give leaders of other beings all kinds of fancy titles and a seat on the council, but he never listens to them and always does his own thing. "I need your leadership" he tells someone and proceeds to completely ignore them.
Content warning: His Dark Materials series 3 spoilers
It's so beautiful in this Land of the Dead episode that all the people there have lost the memories of the outside world, but crave these memories, so when Lyra starts reminiscing with Roger, they get drawn to them. How they filmed that with the colour slowly returning is also very beautiful.
Edit: it's two episodes of that storyline and neither is called Land of the Dead... It's No Way Out and The Abyss.
Today Dafne Keen turns 18, which means Logan is now 7 years ago. She's a very talented Spanish/British actress who, unlike Lyra, did not sleep through growing up, making the great His Dark Materials.
Dafne Keen. Actress: Logan Noir. Dafne Keen Fernández is a British and Spanish actress who played the role of Ana "Ani" Cruz Oliver in the television series The Refugees, and the mutant Laura Kinney / X-23 in the 2017 film Logan.
I've seen all of His Dark Materials recently, Ana is not available for me, so that leaves Logan for the Dafne Keen #BirthdayRewatch . For some reason that I don't know the blu-ray also contains a black-and-white version of the film; I'll be watching that with the audio commentary since both I haven't done before. #DafneKeen #Logan
So many stunts she does herself, including some big ones. While 11yo. I think that by then she was already well versed in aerial silks, which is one of her hobbies outside of acting. Photography being a recent other one.
She's so good. That scene near the end where they're sharing the same dark thoughts. That scene in the middle where she has that outburst at Logan. Actually, I happen to know she improvised that one(*), not on the day but during her final audition. It's on the blu-ray extras and the look on his face of 'what is happening' was very real.
(*) Can you imagine, I say it again, 11 years old, having done your audition, probably acing it because, Dafne, and then turn to all those studio execs and ask: 'Can I do it again? But this time improvise it?'
The actress—who has booked a secret role in the ‘Star Wars’ film ‘The Acolyte’—discusses growing up alongside her ‘His Dark Materials’ character, Lyra.
Starting a rewatch of His Dark Materials, all the way from series one, because series three starts soon. This was the first time I saw Dafne Keen and the reason I watched Logan. I think most people will have seen her in Logan first and be very impressed by her and the intensity of the character, but also seeing her first in His Dark Materials impresses a lot.
Watching it on HBO Max instead of my blu-ray, because views count in this day and age. Production and tv companies really look at views and social media engagement to decide who to hire, what kind of show to commission. Record companies look at number of likes whether to finance a tour. Casting people look at imdb rankings, which are based in part on searches. It's unfair, but to support your faves, engage. #DafneKeen #HisDarkMaterials #Logan
To prepare for series three of His Dark Materials on 5 December, there's this recap of series one and two on Instagram, with quotes from the cast, including Dafne Keen. (I see what she meant about the dirt...) #DafneKeen #HisDarkMaterials
We'll get season three of His Dark Materials on 5 December, so the interviews start coming. Dafne Keen is interviewed in Marie Claire about finding the character, how the word 'need' was key in season one and the dirt in this season, and about playing the more grown up Lyra this time. Great photo shoot too. #DafneKeen #HisDarkMaterials https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/people/dafne-keen
Dafne Keen on the final season of His Dark Materials, her new starring role in Star Wars’ The Acolyte and the best advice Hugh Jackman shared with her…
Dafne Keen had said she was filming something big, turns out it's something called 'Star Wars'. So not bigger than His Dark Materials then, I guess. #TheAcolyte #DafneKeen
Leading up to our Sinterklaas present of His Dark Materials season 3 on 5 December, there's this interesting interview with Dafne Keen in Fabric Magazine, with photos by Joseph Sinclair. #DafneKeen #FabricMagazine
I like seeing the scar on Dafne's forehead in photos: it means the photographer didn't go overboard with the photoshopping, or at least knew enough about their subject to know the scar is a well-known feature of hers.
Dafne Keen looking back to yesterday when it was her 17th birthday, which I missed because I'm an idiot and thought it was today. Well, I've not really booted up yet this year, so what'd you expect.
Happy Birthday for yesterday and also already for next year! Hope to get His Dark Materials S3 soon. #DafneKeen #HisDarkMaterials
