Unprompted Valentine's Day ask. - @melatoninburst sent:
"Nell, my dear buddy, I have got you something," She slips her hand into her bag, pulling out a wrapped box- the box contains chocolate cookies decorated to look like various slashers. "I don't like capitalist holidays but I like you and our friendship so. Happy Valentines day."
It became apparent that Shanice could easier remember her working schedule and shifts over time, including her breaks unless an emergency would be going on, which it wasn't.
In all honestly, the doctor-in-training generally viewed Valentine's Day as any other day, since she still had her work with its duties regardless.
"Aw, how kind of you, Shanice! You shouldn't have, coming all the way to the hospital, just to give me this! Thanks, really, I truly appreciate it." The gesture was small, but the thought behind it was a lot more than that. This served her a reminder that she should return the favor.
💅 : your muse paints my muse’s nails . [ Lucy to Nell ]
This did take her back, when she was a teenager during high school, being with her friends doing each other some makeover. At present, Nell and her friends had their separate lives, so a moment like this was something she usually did on her own nowadays.
“Thanks, Lucy, for painting my nails.” The doctor-in-training smiled tenderly towards her younger friend. “You know, I never thought about this color, but I think it fits me! Definitely different than my usual transparent nail polish.”
girls who are doomed by the narrative!! girls who have been dead since the beginning. girls who are dragged into death not kicking and screaming but clinging on to the brink until their fingers ache with the weight of the years they’ve stolen. girls who’s every last words are already etched on the stone of an open and waiting grave.
Nell Tiger Free credits the performance of Isabelle Adjani in Andrzej Żuławski's Possession as inspiration for her physical acting in The First Omen [2024].
We didn’t have a choreographer, we didn’t have any rehearsal—we didn’t actually know what the fuck was going to happen. Nobody really know, most of all me! All I had was this reference from this one movie, [Andrzej Żuławski 1981 horror classic] Possession. I watched that clip. It was maybe two minutes long. It was somewhere in Northern Italy, and honestly—I wish I had a more interesting answer—but I truly just did it and hoped for the best!
We had two takes. It was weird, this feminist rage took over me. We spend so much time being told to look pretty, perfect, beautiful, put-together, attractive. To be asked to do the exact opposite, to be as free with your body as you possibly can… I mean, I was barking, at one point! All the rage in my body came out. Funnily enough, the only people that walked off set were the men. Scaring grown men has become a bit of kink of mine. [Laughs.]
