CAPTAIN JOHNSON NOW IN CHARGE OF FERGUSON SITUATION

“I’m going to march with you. There won’t be a police line.”

Sock is a sweet but somewhat unstable teen who commits suicide after the accidental murder of his own parents. In Hell he meets Mephistopheles, the amicable manager of the underworld, who offers him a job: Sock is to become a demon, tasked with haunting humans and driving them to suicide. At first this seems like Sock’s dream job—a way he can finally act on his desires without consequence—but after meeting his first target, a disinterested highschooler named Jonathan, he finds himself with another desire that just might be stronger… and just might have a consequence.

hi there! i’m bo and i’m making a short 2D animated film for my final year of university! it’s about gay girls and family and mars and i need two voice actors. you can contact me at any point via tumblr or ninebluebirds@gmail.com 

quick things to note:

• payment to be discussed according to your rates
• please be 16 or older (for legal reasons re: university policies)
  
• it will deal with themes of parent death and violence
• you will be credited under whichever name you choose
• you must have access to decent recording equipment (at the very least, a microphone that won’t pop, etc) unless you live in wellington, nz, in which case i can get that for you
• both characters are queer so only queer people can apply, the main character mercury is a trans girl so only trans girls/transfeminine people can apply for her role, both are POC so only POC can apply, etc
• minor elements of the plot and dialogue are liable to change in the near future. if the changes make you uncomfortable or unwilling to continue to work on the project, that’s fine. i aim to not have that happen and if changes were made that required further voice work you would be compensated duly

plot background: humans came to mars about 30 years ago from the time the film is set to find a bizarre but habitable planet that already has its own ecosystem and wildlife. humans started to settle in and build cities, struggling with issues of poverty and an inhospitable environment, and within ten years people began to get ill with a strange sickness that was suspected to come from drinking too much of the local unfiltered water on mars. this sickness drained colour from people and made them behave strangely. a regime within the cities is constructed in order to eliminate people showing signs of the sickness in an attempt to stop it from spreading. the overwhelming poverty and difficulty of life on mars meant that people continued to get sick, with resentment building towards the wealthy few who didn’t get sick + the law enforcers. 

now, onto the characters!

Mercury is a trans girl, African-American/Pakistani, about 16 years old. She lived with her mother Maya until she was about 14, at which point Maya died of a degenerative long-term illness unrelated to the water sickness. At age 6, Merc and her mother met a strange lady called Ruby while exploring the ruins of an old Martian temple. Ruby and Maya date and Merc soon sees her as a parent figure. When Ruby is killed by police soon after Maya’s death, Merc struggles to come to terms with this and has to survive by herself up until the present day (the time of her narration). Like many poor people in the city, she also has the beginning stages of the water sickness, which makes her more of a loner than she would otherwise like to be. Merc has the majority of dialogue, as she does a voiceover throughout the course of the film. Mercury’s dialogue examples are here. Looking for a black and/or middle eastern trans lady/transfeminine person who can sound approximately 16-18 (character ages can be varied somewhat).

Ruby is of an indeterminate age (around 20-30, potentially) and is not human.  This voice role can go to someone who’s either trans or cis. When Mercury and Maya met her in the ruins, she was a martian creature called an oona, which is able to imitate the forms of others. Oona are responsible indirectly for the water sickness, and Ruby has what would be considered a bad case of it, although in her case its due to oona being poor at mimicking pigment. She has not told Maya or Mercury that she isn’t human, although she suspects they may have guessed. She is usually light-hearted and mischievous, but in the dialogue section she has, she is discussing Maya’s recent death with Mercury and is trying to comfort her, while being quietly distraught herself. Ruby has limited dialogue (about 40 seconds, give or take). Ruby’s dialogue examples are here. Looking for a woman of colour who can sound between 25-35.

if you have any questions, please direct them to either my tumblr or my email. signal boosts are appreciated very much and if you’d like to follow the progress on the short film itself, there’s a tumblr here that doubles as a workbook, or this tumblr itself. thank you!

This is fucking bullshit right here.

No, not the Ferguson crisis happening because that is important and critical, but this fucking post right here.

Some people use tumblr as a getaway from the world around them. Sometimes this is quite vital to them. So you can’t fucking blame a person for not reblogging current news posts if it means protecting their goddamn mental health.

I’m all for educating oneself about what’s going on currently, and I encourage that people at least make themselves aware of what’s happening where and why. But don’t you dare fucking hate a person because they are doing what’s best for themselves and their mental health. We’re not being fucking ignorant. We’re aware. We’re informed, which is the most a lot of people can do from in front of their computers and desks, but don’t you fucking judge people for not reblogging something or whatever.

What’s happening is terrible, yes, but hating people for not putting their mental states at risk is also fucking terrible and disgusting.

I’m fucking pissed off at a whole fucking lot of you. Bye.

This is important, because there’s a difference between someone ignoring whats going on because they don’t care, and someone trying to protect their mental health so that they don’t spiral down even worse from all the negativity that’s going on.

If you harass, attack, put blame on someone because they’re trying to keep themselves from falling into a very, very bad pit of anxiety/depression/any other mental health issue that could stem from any of this, then you are horrible.
I understand that what’s happening in Ferguson is inexcusable, hell I’m reblogging what I can to spread awareness or news or anything of the sort because it’s not right at all. But people with mental health issues who are badly affected by what’s happening there and need to tumblr savior/post block what is happening should not be shamed for doing so, because what good does it do to put someone’s mental (and maybe even physical state) at risk as well with what’s happening?

it does no good at all.

So please just be aware that there are people out there who do genuinely care, but need to be safe for there own personal reasons and have to stay clear of what is happening, please.
Tag your posts, be conscious of and respectful of other people who are triggered by the events that are occurring.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ferguson police.  

…

Straight up white supremacists.

this is exactly how they’ve always talked to us, this is how cops in NY speak to little brown and black kids as young as 12 and 13 up to 18 and 19 and so on. this isn’t because there’s aggression from riots this is just how they speak about us and think of us.

It upsets me that people are always trying to say this is how cops talk to us (yes, I have had a cop point a gun in my face before) and nobody believes it until Anderson Cooper puts it on television.

cubanazo:

This proves they intend to get away with their actions, which are definitely illegal and inhumane. Anonymity + power is a devastating combo…
