Hello I’m an out of work alcoholic detective in a movie. Only I can solve the grisly murder committed by a sexual deviant. I get pulled out of oblivion to do the same and fall in love with the victims sister and never drink again. Oh and the murderer is the cute guy next door https://t.co/bpCVDnUDJO

Hello, I am a character played by Salman Khan in movies. In love triangles I make sure the girl ends up with the other guy while other times I make cameo appearances as prospective groom but my real purpose is again to unite girl with her lover. https://t.co/V0ib7WYkp0

Hello, I'm a bookshop in a movie. My books are charmingly higgledy piggledy and mainly leather-bound, my staff are the perfect blend of nerdy and good-looking, you'll never see anyone actually buy a book but we're the perfect meet cute/portal to somewhere fantastical. https://t.co/fbuz0TMHw0

Hello, I am the local Sheriff in a horror sequel. Despite the fact that this sort of thing has totally happened before, my department is completely unprepared for the eventually that it might happen again, and I don't believe it will, no matter how many bodies pile up. https://t.co/Xoz79vCTQd

Hello, I am a chubby black woman in a movie. I am just here to be your sassy friend with the witty comebacks. Mostly, I'll just say "Girrrrrrllllllluh" and "mm hm" a lot in addition to shaking my head in disapproval.

Hello I’m a writer in a movie. I wear pjs & wait for the muse to strike while surrounded by empty coffee mugs and get no work done yet am feted with very expensive pub parties. When I fall in love w/the grouchy neighbor downstairs my writer’s block will miraculously vanish.

Hello. I’m a computer geek in a movie. I can break into any system by typing random keys extremely fast then shouting ‘I’m in!’ All the while this is happening green text will be projected scrolling up my face. My T shirt has a band on it too.

Hi I'm another famous landmark. I replace any need to show the city's culture & am visible through any window. When the aliens show up the mayor should destroy me preemptively so that the aliens don't have anything to aim at, get bored, & leave to find a more interesting planet.

Brilliant thread this. Hello, I'm an old-times newspaper editor in a movie. I snarl WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME? at a terrified new reporter, read it faster than a real human could, crumple it into a ball and pour a drink. But later it turns out the young reporter was onto something. https://t.co/vMciLGLrPA

Hello, I'm a researcher in a movie. We only work on creating murder-dinos. We definitely never scream "where the fuck is that number coming from?" Without consulting spreadsheets or research we have all the answers to anything in history/science but never in matters of the heart https://t.co/1Ej2g1d7LI

Hello, I’m a journalist in a movie. I drink whole bottles of vodka while reporting in the field but somehow churn out prose my editor deems worthy of a Pulitzer. https://t.co/UfDntj2wh1

Hello, I’m a woman hacker in a movie. I’m a sidekick for a man to have an adventure. My jargon, written by men, will be embarrassingly wrong. Screaming at me makes the hacking go faster. https://t.co/fKZ2a5MmQW

I’m a lawyer in a movie. I know the answers to everything I’m asked about relating to every field of law without any research and I have one fiery just-out-of-law-school sidekick who is somehow equipped to step in for me at any given time. Everything happens on courthouse steps. https://t.co/ywhthQiTrZ

Hi, I’m a paramedic in a movie. I drive ambulances super fast with flashing lights and sirens, and move critically ill patients to hospital. Nothing less. I live on death, destruction and blood. Occasionally I give ‘10 of morph STAT!’, or shock asystole back to life. https://t.co/ByljoaGrjM

hello I’m a disabled woman in a movie, I mostly exist to encourage the abled characters to seize the day and reach for their dreams in case they (*gasp!*) become like me. In the end I’m either dead & everyone wil be better for having known me, or I’m miraculously cured https://t.co/FQWRXBDcfQ
