Among their demands, writers are seeking an acknowledgment of, and correcting for, the way that streaming has affected the work, compensation and working conditions of writers. The WGA’s current agreement with the AMPTP, which represents the nine largest studios in Hollywood, expired on May 1. The Writers Guild of America officially went on strike Tuesday after talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers broke down despite months of negotiation.

Luckily, Seth isn't the only keeper drawn to Titos's call, and Mazki knows what to do to save Seth's life. After nearly killing Seth during their bonding, Titos is terrified of his abilities.

Framing my conversation about a film or book with facts about myself. It pisses me off particularly because I find myself being wary of giving an opinion. It is the “Calm down, dear” of the ageing critic, the patronising wink. It dismisses the thing, the film, book, woman (quirkiness, I think, has become a gendered trait) as frivolous. Quirky suggests a description of appearance, of colourful tights, beads, and people singing where they’re not meant to sing, but it quietly nods at something deeper. It defines a character by her eccentricities rather than inviting you to see them as a whole. To have disproportionately large eyes and a faraway gaze. To be frivolous, naive, awkward, self-conscious. Every time she unpicks tiny humiliations, exploring people’s inner lives, and every time critics say she’s quirky.
