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).

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.
I'm going to do some mixed-up rewatch to see the combined talents of Jenna Ortega and Amy-Leigh Hickman by jumping between the second and fourth seasons of You. Double the brilliance. I'll be doing episodes 2x08, 4x08, 2x09, 4x09, 2x10 and 4x10. #JennaOrtega #AmyLeighHickman #You #YouNetflix
Amy-Leigh Hickman. Actress: You. Amy-Leigh Hickman was born on 15 September 1997 in Hastings, Sussex, England, UK. She is an actress, known for You (2018), Ackley Bridge (2017) and Safe (2018).
Ellie shows up at the hotel room and speed edits a film script, until her smarts and insights throw the whole process in disarray when she realises they need to start over with the script and actually try to understand the character of Beck. After the defenestration she goes back to her own hotel room and is only quickly seen again when she assures Joe she can order an Uber for herself to get home. She knows nothing yet about the whereabouts of her sister.
Content warning: You 4x07&8 Nadia report (spoilers)
Nadia grows suspicious of her professor, who is actually Joe, and breaks into his apartment, finds the clues and the key faster than Joe does himself in the next episode and walks in on... Marianne in the cage! This is the latter half of the episode, in the beginning she has words with her 'is he or isn't he' boyfriend.
That was 2x07, I found I had to watch that too since Nadia's story is sort of broken between the episodes.
In 2x08 we get Marianne's story, the nightingale in a cage, for the first 21 minutes. This leads to the moment Nadia walking in on that terrifying scene, but seen from the other side. Nadia tries to free Marianne, call the police, anything, but has to settle for just bringing food and water. She promises to be back with a plan. But this episode Joe grows suspicious of Nadia and almost foils her plans to put the keys back and go to Marianne. The episode ends with Nadia rushing to the cage, just missing being seen by Joe who is finally on his own trail to find the cage, and announcing to Marianne that she has a plan, but that it's a mad one.
Ellie walks in on Joe and Love who have met up the morning after the events of Forty's process. She is still looking for her sister Delilah and proceeds to spend the day cooking with Love. She tells Love about how she came to live with her sister after her father died. Later in the episode she has the arguably most heartfelt moment of the series where she has her 'what's wrong with me' outburst in the kitchen, when she believes her sister has left her.
Nadia is talking to Marianne about the plan to get her out without involving the police, while Joe walks in and she needs to hide around the corner. This is when a panic-stricken Nadia properly sees the madness of her professor, indicating the reality closing in on Joe. When he's gone Nadia and Marianne agree that the only way is for Joe to die. When Nadia is later rushing back after sourcing the drugs and knife needed, she gets into a mishap at the underground access gates and is taken to the police station. Once outside, she receives the remainder of the drugs she needs for plan b that Marianne has set in motion due to the delay. Meanwhile, she has to admit to her 'boyfriend' that she doesn't consider him her boyfriend as this is not the kind of conversation that you can postpone because you're in a hurry.
Two titbits from yesterday's Tudum, Netflix's fan event, that I gather from clips posted:
Wednesday season 2 is going to introduce another Addams Family character. Many people have asked for Cousin Itt to appear, but the cast say they don't know yet who it will be. Also, from the fact that the cast announcing this was Jenna, Emma, Joy and Hunter, you can guess their characters are back.
You is going to be the final season, as announced earlier, and there was no news. Just the suggestion that Joe is going to face (an) opponent(s) related to the many loose ends. The clips to illustrate these loose ends included Jenna Ortega as Ellie. My favourite story would be where Ellie and Nadia team up to take Joe down. #Wednesday #You #Netflix #JennaOrtega
Rewatching the Amy-Leigh Hickman episodes of You season four, which if I remember correctly means that I can skip some of part one, but that in part two it really kicks off.
Episode 4x01 has a nice scene introducing Nadia. Episode 4x02 has several scenes including her doing the explaining thing. Yes, Nadia is very much like Ellie with regard to her place in the story. #AmyLeighHickman #YouNetflix #You
You 4x03 has great scenes with Amy-Leigh Hickman where her character becomes more involved in the story. Episodes 4x04 and 5 I'm going to skip in the rewatch, since Nadia is not in those. It's part 2 of the fourth season that I really need to see on my Amy-Leigh Hickman rewatch... #AmyLeighHickman #YouNetflix #You
Just finished You 4x06 in the Amy-Leigh Hickman rewatch. In this episode there are quite some good Nadia scenes, including where she gets uncomfortably close to the action. Like Ellie she represents the outside world, us as viewers, and she observes and suspects.
Episode 4x08 changes the story quite a lot in a way that I can't say because of spoilers. But Amy-Leigh Hickman's Nadia is an important part of it. She's no longer an observer.
Episodes 4x09 and 10 are where the Nadia situation gets really intense. If you want a quick rewatch of Amy-Leigh Hickman in You, episodes 8 to 10 of season four are it, the same as for a quick rewatch of Jenna Ortega in You season two, you'd also do episodes 8 to 10. Though I would recommend the whole part 2 (episodes 6 to 10) here.
It's clear to me (or my imagination) that this Nadia storyline in part 2 was intended as an Ellie storyline until Jenna Ortega was not available, stuck in Romania doing Wednesday. Amy-Leigh Hickman is the only actress I'd trust to take over such a big thing and she does so amazingly. #AmyLeighHickman #YouNetflix #You #JennaOrtega
This is what I like, actress in the writers room. Here Amy-Leigh Hickman visits the writers room for You season 5. She isn't even confirmed yet for that season, but I take this as a very positive sign. #AmyLeighHickman #YouNetflix #You
896 Likes, 11 Comments - YOU Writers (@youwriters) on Instagram: "With season 5 officially underway, @amy_lhickman popped by to plead her case #FreeNadia"
Definitely watch part two of You season four for Amy-Leigh Hickman. She's so good in it. This part two is also better than part one, maybe they should have released it together. Can't say anything more about it because of spoilers. #YouNetflix #AmyLeighHickman #You
Content warning: You season five idea/hope based on season four part two
Let's hope there's a season five and let's hope Ellie can come back and we can get stories (somehow) involving Nadia and Ellie together, I think that would really work. If Ellie hears what happened to Nadia, they could team up. That would be fire. Two great actresses playing two great characters that are so similar it creates its special chemistry.
The You Netflix account posting these two Ellie and Nadia videos side by side... I love both actresses, and characters, and had already noticed their similarities in the makeup of the show (the wise young person that fascinates Joe, who he wants to protect, but who is fundamentally a reflection of the real world rather than Joe's strange business). Further parallels: both Jenna and Amy-Leigh became famous from a tv series with a lot of kids living in a house where there were two adults, but the stories were about the kids (Stuck in the Middle and Tracy Beaker Returns/The Dumping Ground). #You #YouNetflix #JennaOrtega #AmyLeighHickman https://twitter.com/YouNetflix/status/1632096328036634625
It's such a confusing post by the YouNetflix account on several media, and confusing many people already, I'm not going to share it. Basically they posted a video with a bunch of dates and now people are thinking those are the dates the episodes are going to come. Reasonable thought. But those are the dates for various teaser clips. S4 part 1 will be 10 February, part 2 10 March. Why is this important? Because Amy-leigh Hickman is in that season! #YouNetflix #You #AmyLeighHickman
