Is that for the essay we talked about?

addisonmallory | 8:00pm
Yep!

drewstarkey | 8:02pm
How's it going?

addisonmallory | 8:02pm
Pretty good, actually
addisonmallory | 8:03pm
I'm just doing the final touches for the second draft, last research today and tomorrow, and hopefully in a few days it'll be ready to set out into the world

drewstarkey | 8:06pm
Can't wait to read it!
drewstarkey | 8:07pm
I actually asked Rudy and Madison about their thoughts on people looking up to actors like us, and they said that everybody's got power over other to some extent, our influence is just greater because there's more people listening
drewstarkey | 8:07pm
Which I found really interesting
drewstarkey | 8:07pm
Thoughts?

addisonmallory | 8:20pm
Well that's 100% true, but I don't think that makes it fair, if you know what I mean
addisonmallory | 8:21pm
If Madison states something about economics and politics and I do the same, people are more likely to believe her because on their eyes, she's the one with more influence even though I am the one who actually studied it for almost ten years

drewstarkey | 8:23pm
Yeah I get that
drewstarkey | 8:24pm
It's a tricky thing, no one can be right about this. I think what's most important is that people start to question who's got the authority instead of trusting whomever but what can you do

addisonmallory | 8:40pm
It's so frustrating oh my god
addisonmallory | 8:40pm
I'd love to talk about it but this essay is taking all my brainpower rn, I'd be down for a proper discussion someday hahah
addisonmallory | 8:41pm
Are these the kind of things you guys talk about on the set?? lol

drewstarkey | 8:42pm
Not really hahah I was just thinking about this and Madison and Rudy were around
drewstarkey | 8:42pm
And I'll definitely take you up on that offer 😊

addisonmallory | 8:43pm
Cool cool
addisonmallory | 8:43pm
So you guys are filming rn?

drewstarkey | 8:45pm
Yeah, we're about halfway through shooting
drewstarkey | 8:45pm
Done for the day though, I got off early lol

addisonmallory | 9:00pm
Lucky lad lol
addisonmallory | 9:00pm
Is this time as exciting as the first time?

drewstarkey | 9:01pm
Kind of I guess, a lot of the excitement was partly because everything was new and we didn't know what the reception would be like, and all of that is gone
drewstarkey | 9:02pm
But the story is even better this time around, everyone's really excited about their roles, and it's nice to be back into working with the guys after we bonded a lot throughout last year

addisonmallory | 9:04pm
Aw omg that's so sweet, really makes me excited about season two
addisonmallory | 9:05pm
Is it weird going back into Rafe's character though?

drewstarkey | 9:07pm
Also kind of lol I ended up doing some reading again
drewstarkey | 9:08pm
It's easier than it was the first time because now I know him better, but it still took me some getting used to
drewstarkey | 9:08pm
It's the same for everyone though, we're all quite different from our characters

addisonmallory | 9:20pm
Obviously lol
addisonmallory | 9:20pm
See I could never become an actress or anything, I can't even pretend I like my coworker's fucking cat 😂

drewstarkey | 9:21pm
Haha yeah acting isn't the easiest thing in the world
drewstarkey | 9:21pm
This is why I'm relaxing rn, I've been up since like 4am and it's shittt

addisonmallory | 9:23pm
Ewww
addisonmallory | 9:23pm
waking up before 10 should be illegal

drewstarkey | 9:25pm
I'd be okay with 7/8am honestly
drewstarkey | 9:25pm
Anyway I'm about to fall asleep, but it was good chatting to you!

addisonmallory | 9:40pm
