Alrighty, whether you're an OG or new here, please be advised that ahead there be

It took every ounce of your self-control to restrain yourself from rolling your eyes.

I love her already lol unimpressed with THE Steve Rogers?

The last thing you needed was one photo documenting your unhappy reaction to Steve’s arrival and it would be all over the internet within an hour. At least, that’s what your agent had stressed to you.

What an absolute nightmare. As someone who has RBF and has had it drilled into me at work these past few years that my authentic self is unwelcome in that environment, I know what it's like to have to school ones expression. Luckily she's an actress but it must suck to have to be so self conscious because if you're not, the entire world is going to be talking about it in whatever context they want. Celebrity ain't worth it!

That one little—mostly joking—comment was blown out of proportion, spreading across all the biggest entertainment outlets’ websites and trending on Twitter. Before you knew it, Steve had tweeted his response, “You’re on, sweetheart,” which solidified your silly answer into a story.

Yep, see? Having to explain every joke or every tease and if you're not quick enough, clickbait and boom. A "story."

To make it worse, the press and the fans loved it. You and Steve were officially rivals in the public eye and your agent warned you constantly that you had to make sure you never veered into unlikable. There’s nothing Hollywood hates more than a competitive, vicious shrew, after all. The future of your career rested too precariously on how you conducted yourself.

Hate this for her. DOUBLE STANDARDS make the world go 'round! Again, this poor woman is having to school herself because God forbid she's TOO strong or TOO competitive because then that equates to a B somehow. Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike, eff all the way off. Her career isn't dependent on her talent or her draw, but her attitude? *smh* Welcome to being a woman in, well, ANY industry -_-

Were you and Steve secretly dating? That last one had made you laugh, though the sound was closer to a cackle. You’d never even met Steve Rogers, let alone carried on a secret affair with the Hollywood heartthrob. It all made you want to scream, but you’d laughed instead—even if it was a little bit hysterical.

I do not blame her ONE BIT for being kind of hysterical because what a whacky world she lives in. Not only unfair, but one where anyone can make up ANYTHING and as long as it's "in print," it must have SOME truth to it? I'm enjoying how this is actually a critical look at celebrity from a female point of view so far.

It should be a crime for any man to look that good in a suit. His broad shoulders filled out the snug-fitting jacket, and he looked positively dapper in his bowtie. With his blond hair slicked back and the neatly trimmed beard covering his jaw, he looked ruggedly handsome in the way you’d expect of an action hero.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, I can see she's not totally unaffected *MUAHAHAHAHA* Knowing they haven't met, I'm dying to know what's going to happen when they finally do.

Ignoring the yelling journalists and fans, and even his own publicist, Steve made a beeline for you, weaving through the crowd until he was close enough to pull you in for a hug. A thousand camera shutters went off with a flurry of flashing bulbs—so fast and bright you would’ve believed you were at a rave and not a red carpet if not for the fact that America’s favorite action hero was holding you tight against his chest.

I love the rave analogy. I only went to one once but omg, this description is exactly what it was like lol. I'm also FLABBERGASTED that he just immediately went to her. I thought "moth to a flame."

This makes me giggle cuz I've SEEN Chris Evans hug people like this, most vividly for me on the Endgame red carpet I think it was? So I was literally giggling reading this cuz I'm like YEP! THAT'S SO STEVE!

The way he held you made you for comforted and safe, emotions you didn’t often feel on a red carpet when there were so many eyes and cameras watching you. And to make matters worse, your body was responding to the feel of Steve’s large, muscular body pressed so tightly against yours, heat and electricity swimming through your bloodstream.

LORDT. The way I would MELT. I'm in my feels as I'm writing this too cuz ~hormones~ so I've definitely been craving a cuddle / held close feeling and this description made me like whimper cuz ... comforted and safe?

“Wow I guess those muscles of yours aren’t fake, huh—I always thought they were CGI,” you snarked lightly, mouth curling up in a genuine smile to let him know you were kidding.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS be a smart a$$ to cover real emotion. THIS IS MY JAMMMMMM lmao for real. Vulnerability is a bad word, AND she has the added "competition" thing going on here so I support this queen wholeheartedly with this "pretend that didn't just happen" move.

“You’re not what I expected either, sweetheart,” he said, the tiniest smirk you’d ever seen curving his lips. His blue eyes sparkled with mischief as he ducked closer so he could speak in your ear. “I heard you were a real witch, but you’re as sweet as apple pie.” Your entire body rioted, your heart thumping in your chest as butterflies fluttered furiously in your stomach. You didn’t know whether to take his compliment as a veiled insult—who had called you a witch!?—or if your first instinct was actually right and he was flirting with you. No, he was definitely flirting with you, and you were definitely enjoying it far too much.

LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG this type of banter is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, as are leads who are combative, won't give into themselves OR each other easily. OMG LOVING THIS.

As you pulled away, you patted the action hero on the face a little harder than necessary and moved to edge around him. But Steve wasn’t letting you get away that easily; he caught you around your waist before you could get far. The action hero pivoted gracefully, turning his back to the cameras so you were hidden from their view and pulled you close. You didn't want to admit how much you liked the way he manhandled you. Anxiously, you glanced around, but everyone else on the crowded carpet was too distracted to notice the big stars of the summer’s most anticipated blockbusters were sharing a private moment in the midst of mayhem.

OOF. That whole package had me squealing into my pumpkin pillow but that bolded line? Cuz that'd be straight out of my own brain. And that he's doing it surreptitiously in front of ALL those people? !!!!!!

So if I keep going like I am, I'm going to end up quoting every paragraph and gushing over it so I'm making myself skip ahead, hopefully to encourage some of you to go read because I'm skipping some plot points here lol

For a moment, Steve’s face was the picture of surprise, but then his expression darkened, heating your body from the inside out as he stared down at you with a fire burning his is gaze.

Before you could step away from Steve and let him get on with his regular red carpet duties, he held you firm, pulling your hand against his chest so the back was pressed over his heart. It was like he didn’t want to let you go. His expression had morphed again and he looked genuine earnest. “Find me after,” he said, ducking his head so only you could hear. “Wanna know what you think of my movie, sweetheart,” he murmured, his breath ghosting over your neck, his rough beard grazing your soft cheek. That time you couldn’t stifle the shiver. When Steve moved back, heat blazed in his eyes, hot enough that you almost trembled again.

I LOVE THIS STORY!

I haven't done fluff / non smut in a while lmao but this story was so intriguing and engaging right from the get go. I'm going to have to go see if there is more with these 2 because honestly? I wanna know where it goes!

So well done and thank you SO MUCH for creating and sharing!

you got yourself a bet, sweetheart

pairing: movie star!steve rogers x movie star!reader

summary: when the media spins a story of you and action movie star steve rogers being rivals because your new films open the same weekend, you attend the premiere of his blockbuster in a show of good faith. however, when he gets you alone on the red carpet, steve decides to make the competition more interesting.

warnings: fluff, flirting, banter, betting, nicknames (sweetheart, dreamboat), seriously steve is a HUGE flirt in this

word count: 2.5k

a/n: day 11 of my 30 day writing trope challenge was rivals—i think i originally had academic rivals but i didn't want to limit myself to a school setting and i'm glad i didn't! this is a bit of a different setting than i usually write in, but i thought it'd be fun! and it was! i had so much fun writing these two, and i already have ideas for how to continue their story. i actually had to stop myself from writing more, otherwise i'd never get around to posting this 😂 anyway, hope y'all enjoy reading about movie star steve rogers and movie star reader as much as i enjoyed writing the start of their story!!

You knew the moment Steve Rogers stepped onto the red carpet because the crowd went absolutely wild for America’s favorite action star. It took every ounce of your self-control to restrain yourself from rolling your eyes. You were only a little ahead of him on the red carpet and you knew there were dozens, if not hundreds of cameras trained on you. The last thing you needed was one photo documenting your unhappy reaction to Steve’s arrival and it would be all over the internet within an hour. At least, that’s what your agent had stressed to you.

The whole reason you were attending the red carpet for Steve’s new movie was because the press had created a full-blown rivalry between you two. It hadn’t been your decision to set the release date for your first solo film in the biggest superhero franchise of all time against the fifth installment of Steve’s beloved spy-thriller action series. And when a journalist had asked you how you felt about the box office competition, you’d regrettably revealed you were a little bit competitive and you were hoping to trounce Rogers in opening weekend.

So, in a show of good faith, you’d invited Steve to your movie premiere—publicly on Twitter, of course. It was less than an hour before he responded, extending you an invitation to his. Which is how, on the night before your own movie’s premiere, you were on the red carpet for Steve Rogers’ film. You’d walked the press line, having to grin and bear it through an endless stream of questions about America’s favorite action hero.

What do you think of Steve’s movie series? Which of the first four installments was your favorite? Would you consider appearing in a sixth movie if the series continued? Had you and Steve placed any bets on the competition between your movies and, if so, what would you have to do if you lost? Did you really think your movie could beat Steve’s? Were you and Steve secretly dating?

That last one had made you laugh, though the sound was closer to a cackle. You’d never even met Steve Rogers, let alone carried on a secret affair with the Hollywood heartthrob. It all made you want to scream, but you’d laughed instead—even if it was a little bit hysterical. Your publicist had cut the interview off and sent you farther down the red carpet to the event’s photo call. And that’s where you were when Steve finally arrived.

You made the mistake of glancing over toward the start of the carpet, and you caught the action hero’s sparkling blue eyes. It should be a crime for any man to look that good in a suit. His broad shoulders filled out the snug-fitting jacket, and he looked positively dapper in his bowtie. With his blond hair slicked back and the neatly trimmed beard covering his jaw, he looked ruggedly handsome in the way you’d expect of an action hero.

It wasn’t a normal Hollywood hug. Steve had one large hand pressed to your lower back, the warmth of his palm seeping through your thin dress to your skin, and the other cradling the back of your head. The way he held you made you for comforted and safe, emotions you didn’t often feel on a red carpet when there were so many eyes and cameras watching you. And to make matters worse, your body was responding to the feel of Steve’s large, muscular body pressed so tightly against yours, heat and electricity swimming through your bloodstream.

You were flustered by Steve’s hug and how much you enjoyed it, which was your only excuse for how your mouth got away from you when he pulled away. “Wow I guess those muscles of yours aren’t fake, huh—I always thought they were CGI,” you snarked lightly, mouth curling up in a genuine smile to let him know you were kidding.

Surprise flashed in Steve’s brilliant blue eyes, but he hid it well, his face remaining in a relaxed, friendly expression, a smile tucked amidst the short beard decorating his jaw. To the cameras, you two would look just like any celebrity friends connecting on the red carpet, but Steve lowered his voice so you were the only one who’d hear his response to your remark. “You’re not what I expected either, sweetheart,” he said, the tiniest smirk you’d ever seen curving his lips. His blue eyes sparkled with mischief as he ducked closer so he could speak in your ear. “I heard you were a real witch, but you’re as sweet as apple pie.”

Your entire body rioted, your heart thumping in your chest as butterflies fluttered furiously in your stomach. You didn’t know whether to take his compliment as a veiled insult—who had called you a witch!?—or if your first instinct was actually right and he was flirting with you. No, he was definitely flirting with you, and you were definitely enjoying it far too much.

When Steve pulled away, his blue eyes still dancing with humor and interest as he read your face for your reaction, you decided it didn’t matter. You were rivals at best, nothing but two strangers navigating the same industry at worst. But your brain failed to deliver that message to your mouth, because before you could think better of it, you were flashing Steve a wicked grin and saying, “Just wait until I win opening weekend, dreamboat, then you’ll see how sweet I can really be.”

With one hand on Steve’s broad shoulder and the other on his sculpted jaw, you leaned in an pressed a friendly kiss to his cheek, hiding a smirk against scruffy jaw when you heard the cameras and flashes going off in a wild frenzy again. As you pulled away, you patted the action hero on the face a little harder than necessary and moved to edge around him.

But Steve wasn’t letting you get away that easily; he caught you around your waist before you could get far. The action hero pivoted gracefully, turning his back to the cameras so you were hidden from their view and pulled you close. You didn't want to admit how much you liked the way he manhandled you. Anxiously, you glanced around, but everyone else on the crowded carpet was too distracted to notice the big stars of the summer’s most anticipated blockbusters were sharing a private moment in the midst of mayhem.

“Keep it up, sweetheart, and I’ll have to make this interesting,” Steve murmured, his words a playful threat. Out of the spotlight, Steve’s expression morphed until you could read the filthy thoughts he was having in the inviting curve of his mouth and the heated look in his eyes.

In your chest, your heart beat faster, and the fluttering in your stomach was trailing down your spine, making your legs feel unsteady underneath you. But you were never one to back down from a challenge, and you certainly weren’t going to let America’s hunk of an action hero flirt you into submission. So you raised an eyebrow and smirked saucily. “What did you have in mind, dreamboat?” you asked, your voice drawling over the nickname, overtly calling attention to the fact that Steve had taken to calling you sweetheart and you weren’t sure whether you’d continue to allow it.

Amusement danced freely across Steve’s face, like he enjoyed you calling him dreamboat far too much for him to ever stop calling you sweetheart. But then the amusement was wiped away and he gave you a considering look. “If my movie wins opening weekend, you have to bake me an apple pie—and deliver it yourself,” he said slowly, like he was deciding on the stakes as he spoke. When he was done, though, he looked plenty satisfied with himself.

“And if I win?” you challenged, wanting to wipe the cocky smile from his face.

“Whaddya want, sweetheart?” Steve drawled, his eyes going just a little bit heavy-lidded as he stared down at you.

His eyes were deep pools of ocean blue that you wanted to swim in, but you shook your head slightly and forced yourself to get your head in the game. However, your mouth spoke before your brain caught up—again. “If I win, you have to take me out on your yacht, dreambaot,” you shot back. Steve looked a little disappointed when it seemed you’d finished setting your stakes. But, with a smirk, you went on. “And you have to wear those cute little swim shorts from that movie a few years ago—you know the ones.”

For a moment, Steve’s face was the picture of surprise, but then his expression darkened, heating your body from the inside out as he stared down at you with a fire burning his is gaze. He knew the swim shorts you were referring to, of course. They were the only thing he’d worn in the beach scene of the third film in his blockbuster action franchise. Technically, they were swim shorts, but with an incredibly short inseam and they’d clung to his thighs as if they could barely contain the muscles in Steve’s legs.

When images of Steve in those shorts on set had made their way online, STEVE ROGERS THIGHS starting trending on Twitter within the hour and remained trending for a full day. The internet had lost their collective minds, and that was months before the movie even came out. When it hit theaters, it had shattered records, cementing the series as one of the best-selling franchises of the decade. Throughout the movie’s lengthy promotional tour, and then its entire theatrical run, images of Steve in those shorts could be found everywhere on the internet. The only thing that had come close to rivaling it since was Henry Cavill cocking his fists in that Mission: Impossible movie.

So of course Steve knew the shorts you were referring to. And he knew that you knew he still had them. He always made sure to quip he had them at home whenever anyone asked him about that scene. But he’d never actually been seen in them again. You’d never admit to anyone—not your agent, not your mom, not even your best friend—that you were dying to see Steve Rogers in those shorts again, especially since he’d filled out even more in the years since that movie was shot.

For a moment, you wondered if you’d pushed Steve too far as he remained quiet, tilting his head to the side as he considered you. You wouldn’t let yourself wilt under his gaze, holding his eye and keeping a challenging look on your face. But then he seemed to come to a decision.

“You deliver that apple pie in a cute little apron and you got yourself a bet, sweetheart,” Steve said, holding his hand up in the tight space between your bodies, offering it to shake on your deal. He was so close, the tips of his fingers grazed your collarbone and you had to stop yourself from shivering at his barest touch.

You considered the stakes for only a moment, but your competitive nature ultimately won out. “A bet it is, dreamboat,” you said, sliding your hand into Steve’s. His palm was warm and slightly rough, and you couldn’t stop yourself from imaging what it’d feel like smoothing over your bare skin. Your body heated even further, an ache developing between your thighs. You shook the thought from your mind and looked up at Steve, who was grinning like he could read your dirty thoughts clear on your face. Wiping all emotion from your face except for a snarky smirk, you shook his hand, sealing the deal.

“Sure thing, dreamboat,” you said, your voice breathier than you meant it to be, but there was nothing you could do about it. Steve brushed a kiss to your cheek—leaving behind his scent of fresh air and driftwood, reminding you of the ocean—and finally let you retreat to the opposite end of the red carpet while he took his place on the press line.

Squaring your shoulders, you found your publicist and had her lead you inside the movie theater. You chatted with other actors and industry folks, grabbed a drink at the open bar and made your way to your seat. All the while, though, you couldn’t stop thinking about how Steve had touched you, how your body had reacted to him, and the way his flirting had made you feel alive.

When the lights dimmed, you weren’t sure if you wanted Steve’s movie to be a triumph or a failure. But of one thing you were certain—you were looking forward to seeing America’s favorite action hero afterward. You couldn’t wait to see how he looked at you when you told him what you thought of his movie, and to hear his own reactions to your thoughts. You wanted to know if he’d touch you again, and if your body would react the same way, heating for him and begging for more. Altogether, you were eager for the movie to start so it could be over and you could see Steve again.

With your heart fluttering in your chest to match the butterflies in your stomach, you realized you might be developing a little crush on your movie star rival. If that was the case, you were in trouble.

Reasons Behind Arrie’s Martial Arts Styles, Part 1

First of all, to anyone who’s bothered to read the long-ass headcanon that is Arrie’s Martial Arts Background, thank you so much.

This info/hc post is gonna focus on why Arrie prefers low kicks to high kicks (as evident from her background in Tai Chi, Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do). It’s been on my mind recently and I wanted to put it out there, and hopefully get some more opinions on my analysis of the drawbacks of high kicks.

ANYWAYS

For those of you who don’t know much about martial arts, literally half of the martial arts styles I chose for Arelette do not train people to kick above the waist. Why? Well, in a real fight, high kicks are uhhh... Useless. Okay, not useless, but also not a very successful attack move, especially if you’re up against someone who’s an experienced fighter.

Look at this gif for example. Yes, movie fights are choreographed, but it proves my point. Both Jackie Chan and his opponent were able to avoid each other’s high kicks, even though their high kicks were extremely quick; Jackie Chan completely dodged a high kick while his opponent had blocked a kick to his head just by raising ONE arm in reaction. This is because it takes a significant amount of energy, and thus a significant amount of movement to perform a high kick. This fact alone gives a watchful opponent SO much time to defend against it, especially if they know what they’re doing and are watching your every move. It’s basically the equivalent of shouting “I’m gonna shoot you!” before pulling the trigger.

Another thing to note is that any kick above the waist is going to be in A LOT of danger of getting caught, no matter how fast you send that kick; people are going to react to it, experienced or not, and try to catch it. That’s because it’s easily accessible, since people’s hands are always held up around their mid-section when they’re fighting.

Once your kick is caught, it is GUARANTEED that you are going to be on your ass, as it is SO easy to trip someone when their entire body weight is on one foot, as shown above; even people without fighting experience inherently understand that. In a real fight, that’s when things can get dangerous too, hence why it’s more ideal to kick where someone can’t grab your leg or foot.

Again, I’m not discounting the uses of high kicks. They hurt like a bitch, and can easily be disguised, as shown in the rolling high kick down above. The thing you gotta realize though is that high kicks are usually only successful when your opponent is distracted or too tired from a long fight to react quickly enough; if you pay enough attention to the girl that got knocked out, you can CLEARLY tell that her attention wasn’t where it was supposed to be... tbh tho both her attacks and her stance were shitty too like omfg how .

But anyways, yeah, that’s my take on why high kicks are less than ideal in a fight. I also do have experience with this cuz you have NO idea how many times I’ve caught and have had a high kick caught, and even with a mat, the fall fucking HURTS.

#;hc #;long post #(( cuz some of y'all really be out here thinking that you can just throw a high kick in a fight and not suffer any consequences ))#(( smh I blame hollywood ))

Choices: A Red Carpet Diaries Fan Fic

(Thomas Hunt x OC) inspired by Top Gun Maverick and taken from my A Second Chance AU

A/N: LOL! Okay. Everyone who looks at my fics/moodboards/etc knows that Jon Hamm is my FC for Thomas Hunt. Blame my eternal love of Mad Men, smh. Anyway, due to the violence and sadness going on in my current TRR Dark AU series and that bit of angsty fluff fic with Drake and Olivia and this last angsty one with Riley, I need some fluff, humor, family life, jealousy; all the stuff I normally write for a breather. And now that my husband is out of the hospital and well again (and life has finally calmed down, LOL) I needed a Thomas Hunt fic! I adore the action, romance, and cheesy 80s aspects of the first Top Gun. And yes, I will confess that I saw Top Gun Maverick twice the week it came out. But this sequel knocks it out of the park storyline wise. And maybe because they added a certain Mr. Jon Hamm to the mix makes it even better 👀 So in this fic of mine, it isn't Jon given the role of Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson. It is our beloved Mr. Hunt much to his wife's delight. And yes my OC, Amanda, is given my love of Top Gun and my own personal embarrassing story of what I used to do when playing the original's love song when single and dating as a teenager 🙈 Those poor guys never understood why I insisted on playing such an old soundtrack each date.

Song Inspiration: Take My Breath Away

Masterlist

Going Method

"Cut!" Joseph yelled out. He had a big smile gracing his lips. "That is exactly the reaction I was looking for."

Thomas tried to be grateful for the compliment. It has been nearly two decades since he had stepped back in front of the camera. He knew the reason for deciding to act just this once was because of a desire to work with Joseph Kosinski. His fellow director impressed him with many of his previous films.

He'd also looked forward to finally being able to work with Tom Cruise. The two Hollywood icons tried for nearly fifteen years to find a free moment to collaborate on a film. Each time Thomas had a new project, it seemed that Tom was in the midst of filming a new sequel to his Mission: Impossible franchise or there wasn't a part right for the actor.

Everything about this should be perfect.

Though this was a sequel, and Thomas typically detested such, there was something about the script that drew him into the storyline. This wasn't your typical action movie. It had heart. It touched emotions he hadn't thought possible for a story about a bunch of hotshot pilots.

Thomas should be having the time of his life, instead of fighting a burning jealousy that could only be sparked by one person.

His wife.

Amanda had no idea how badly he wanted to punch Tom Cruise in his still too handsome face. Her reaction to hearing there was not only a sequel to, unknown to her husband, one of her favorite films but that Thomas would be taking part had taken him completely by surprise.

As Thomas made his way back to his trailer, he could still picture his wife's face when he told her he wanted her to come on location with him.

******************

A month earlier...

"I want it to be just the two of us." Thomas slipped his arms around her. "Rachel and Stephen agreed to watch Kathleen and the twins." He smiled softly at her. "We haven't had a vacation of sorts alone since our honeymoon."

"You know I would love that." Amanda leaned in to kiss him. "But we can't be away from the children that long."

"We'll have them visit." He responded. "If they miss us too much, then we will have them stay."

Amanda's smile twisted into a playful grimace. "We both know once Rachel and Stephen are here that you and I will be easily forgotten."

He snorted, shaking his head. It was true. Kathleen, Ian, and Elizabeth adored their aunt and uncle. Nothing made them more excited than getting special time with them. Most of the requests when they came by for a visit were for their parents to stay home while they went out with their fun loving relatives.

"Perhaps time away will make them remember they love us too." Thomas teased, pulling Amanda closer. "And give us a chance to show each other our own feelings."

"Don't you dare give me that look!" Amanda playfully scolded.

"What look?" His lips skated down her nexk

"You know very well which look." She met his lips in a long heated kiss. "That look plus kisses like that got me pregnant twice."

"Must be powerful." He mumbled, kissing her again.

"Very." She sighed softly as his hands moved along her curves. "You never told me what type of movie you will be starring in."

"Costarring." He reminded her. "It is actually a sequel to one of Tom's old movies."

Her fingers stilled in unbuttoning his shirt. "Oh? Which one?"

"Top Gun." He tugged her shirt up over her head.

"Top Gun!" Amanda squealed, pushing out of his arms.

Thomas stared at her in surprise.

"I love that movie!" She continued, smiling even more at the notion. "Are you his new wingman?"

"No." His eyes narrowed somewhat over her slight pout hearing that. "I play an admiral over the pilot school, Admiral Beau Cyclone Simpson."

"Really?" Amanda sat down at the foot of the bed. "Does your character, Cyclone, like Maverick or do you disapprove of his actions and attitude?"

Thomas folded his arms. He could tell that all thoughts of romance had left by her simply sitting there being unusually inquisitive during his attempt at seduction.

"I disapprove." He grumbled, meaning it in more ways than one.

"I knew it." She nodded. "With your personality and voice, you would be serious and against Maverick."

His eyes narrowed. "Let me guess, you like his character?"

"Of course I do!" Her laughter over what was clearly a ridiculous question turned into a deep, heartfelt sigh. "Who wouldn't love him?"

So like is now love, he thought to himself.

"Do you think he will wear the outfit?" Amanda asked after a few moments of staring off into space.

"Outfit?

"You know?" Amanda prodded. "The Maverick look: blue jeans, tight white t-shirt, brown bomber jacket, and those aviator sunglasses." Her sigh was even louder than the one that came before it.

Thomas frowned while buttoning his shirt. "I don't know what he is wearing in the film."

"If I see him in person wearing that and riding his motorcycle..." Amanda shook her head with a dreamy smile as her voice trailed off.

"I take it you like this particular look." Thomas said with a sarcastic edge.

"It was my favorite look on a man for years." Amanda cut her eyes to her husband. "Right up until I saw you for the first time in a tuxedo."

Thomas stilled in his actions. "Really?"

She nodded, rising off the bed to wind her arms around his neck. "You made every other look and man fade away once I saw you."

His frown eased hearing that.

She pressed a long, tender kiss to his lips. Her hands slid down to start unbuttoning his shirt once more.

"Will you, by chance, be wearing any navy uniforms in this movie?" She bit down on her bottom lip when his kisses traveled along her neck and shoulders.

"I will." He cocked an eyebrow at her.

Her smile turned flirty. "I can't wait to see how you look in them."

His smile reappeared as her lips crashed back against his.

******************

He should have known when he first saw Tom in the stupid white t-shirt and blue jeans that his wife would be thrilled. He heard her slight oh the moment the actor pulled out the leather jacket and made his way over to them.

"You must be Amanda." Tom held his hand out, a big smile popping up.

"I am." Her own matching smile irritated Thomas. "It is so nice to finally meet you."

As the two talked, Thomas could only stand there both grateful for his own aviator sunglasses hiding his glare and cursing the eyeware to perdition because Tom slipped his on. Then he felt heat flare over him as the two walked toward a motorcycle, leaving him to trail behind.

"I know this isn't the GPZ from the first movie." Amanda said, eyeing the new bike. "Is it still a Kawasaki?"

"You know your bikes." Tom replied with a smile.

"I don't." She laughed. "I only know the one you rode in Top Gun." A blush crept up her cheeks. "When my uncle showed me the movie, it became a dream of mine when I was thirteen to ride on one."

"Would you like to try this one?" Tom asked.

"She doesn't know how to drive a motorcycle." Thomas quickly spoke up.

"Then how about I give you a ride?" Tom put the bomber jacket on, then swung his leg over the seat. "We've got some downtime before the next scene."

Thomas was already shaking his head while his wife was nodding hers.

"I'd love to!" She quickly got behind Tom.

Thomas stood there with his jaw dropped. His wife was asking where to put her feet and then where to hold on for safety.

"Just hold on tight to me." Tom told her, starting up the bike. "And lean into the curves."

"Wait!" Thomas struggled to speak. "Doesn't she need a helmet?"

They didn't hear him over the roar of the engine. Amanda wrapped her arms around Tom's waist, scooting much too close in her husband's opinion to the actor's back, and with a quick nod, they took off down the road.

Leaving Thomas fuming.

****************

Later that evening...

"That was the most thrilling ride I've ever been on." Amanda continued to gush. "I've been on motorcycles a few times in my life, but nothing will ever top that!"

Thomas blew the candles out at the table he had made certain was set for a romantic dinner for two. Their bungalow at the beach couldn't have been more perfect for a second honeymoon. Dinner with the waves hitting the shore in the background should have been pleasant.

If only Tom Crusie was not a part of it.

Amanda began to collect their empty dishes while continuing to talk about her teenage fantasy becoming a reality.

"To have him dressed like that while he drove me around was perfect." She sighed softly. "If only my sixteen-year-old self knew it would one day happen."

Thomas eyed her over the rim of his glass. "Sixteen?"

She nodded. Another blush covered her cheeks. "I used to fantasize that I could be the girl Maverick falls for. Takes on rides at night." Her smile turned a tad self-depreciating. "Kiss."

Thomas took a needed gulp of his drink. He welcomed the burn to keep his jealous words from tumbling out.

"I know what I'm about to admit sounds awful." Amanda tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, eyes averted from her husband. "But do you remember the love song in the first Top Gun?"

"Yes." Thomas cleared his throat. "Take My Breath Away."

Amanda's lips curved somewhat. "Gah. That song used to give me chills. When it plays in the movie, and Tom and Kelly start to make love..." She shifted nervously, "I used to play that when on a date."

Thomas frowned somewhat. "The film's love scene?"

"No. Take My Breath Away." Amanda finally looked up at him. "Remember, I was sixteen and well, I used to close my eyes and pretend the guy that was kissing me was Maverick."

Thomas didn't know how to respond. How had he managed to somehow end up in a movie with the one actor his wife not only fantasized about but also felt the need to tell him every detail of it.

"It makes me sound horrible." Amanda mumbled when she noticed the look of disbelief on her husband's face.

"No." He managed to say. "Like you said, you were young and most likely the young men you were dating at the time could have used an upgrade."

Amanda shook her head with a laugh. "It's true." Her smile was warm once again. "I suppose they too imagined I was someone else."

He doubted it.

She wound her arms around his neck. "So..."

Thomas quirked an eyebrow in silent question.

"We are all alone." She threaded her fingers through his hair. "No twelve year old or seven year olds knocking at the door." Her lips found his earlobe. "Whatever shall we do with this freedom?"

His arms locked around her. Eyes closed tight with the way she kissed him.

Thank God that song isn't playing somewhere, he thought to himself.

Her hands drifted down his body.

And then he couldn't think at all.

******************

The next few weeks went quickly. Thomas found himself gritting his teeth anytime his wife and co-star interacted. When it came time to perform his scenes, he had no trouble at all displaying the struggle of keeping his dislike at bay.

Tom and Joseph praised him for somehow conveying that dislike just below the surface.

"I gotta say," Tom patted him on the back after once scene, "that look you gave me was one that made me pause in wondering if you really can't stand me." He chuckled as he parted from Thomas and went into his trailer.

Thomas had to bite back that he wasn't acting, at least not in the sense he used to.

He was going full method for this role.

***************

During Thomas's last week to film for his scenes, a party was given in Tom's bungalow.

Amanda seemed more excited than usual on the days leading up to it. Thomas didn't ask why she was. The last thing he needed was another reason to be jealous. But the night of the party, he was unable to remain silent.

She was actually humming to herself while putting her makeup on. He couldn't remember a time she was this giddy to go out for a night of supposed revelry.

"You seem happier than usual." He grumbled as he stepped out of the shower.

"I do?" Her eyes found him in the reflection of her mirror. "I suppose I am."

He wrapped a towel around his waist, dreading to hear her reasons.

"I know that tonight marks our final days here." A smile played about her lips as she searched for her powder. "I've missed our home and daily routines. Having the children visit us was nice, but I can't wait to get back to them." She lifted her eyes to her husband's. "Though I have thoroughly enjoyed our alone time."

Thomas felt his dread disappear. It wasn't the fact she was about to see Tom Cruise or anything at all to do with her feelings for his character. She wanted what he wanted. To go home and return to the life they had together was still a shared dream.

He came up behind her, tilted her face up, and gave her a tender kiss. He felt her smile against his lips as her fingers tangled in his damp hair.

"You're making me want to be late to the party." She teased.

"You're wrong." He kissed her again. "You're the one making me want to forget about what time we should arrive." His hands grasped her waist, urging her closer as their kisses became more heated. "Hearing you say that you want what I long for in returning home makes it impossible not to kiss you."

She reluctantly stepped back with a frustrated moan. "We better stop while we still can." Her half-smile revealed how little she wanted to. "It would be rude of us not to be on time."

His hands slid inside her robe, pulling her closer than before.

"We'll be fashionably late." He whispered against her skin.

*********************

Perhaps it was the talk the two had or the fact that his skin still tingled from making love to Amanda an hour earlier, but Thomas was doing better at observing from across the room his wife in deep discussion with Tom Cruise.

Seeing Joseph as part of the conversation also helped him keep his jealousy at a low boil.

When she was pulled away by some of his costars, he decided to find out what they had been talking about.

"I bet your ears are burning." Tom teased.

"Burning?" Thomas asked.

"I think you married your biggest fan." Joseph explained. "She was just telling us how much she loves watching you in the scenes you were in."

"She did?" Thomas couldn't stop his smile from forming.

Tom shook his head with a laugh. "My feelings would be hurt if she wasn't married to you. She was blind to the rest of us as soon as you showed up in a scene." He winked at Thomas. "Thank God you weren't in every scene or else she wouldn't have been able to critique my own performance."

"I'd say that you are a lucky man," Joseph added with a grin, "but then that would mean we aren't as lucky as you."

"And we can't have that." Tom teased.

"No, I suppose not." Thomas mumbled, searching the room for his wife.

"She stepped outside in case you are wondering." Joseph pointed toward the patio door.

The two watched in amusement as Thomas hurried off without another word.

***************

He found her near the water. After all these years, he still loved how she would leave a party to get off by herself to think on things and the people she interacted with. He also loved that she never insisted they remain at said party until the bitter end.

He wrapped his arms around her, smiling as she immediately relaxed back against him.

"I was looking for you."

She pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Looks like you found me."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming out here?"

"You were talking to Tom and Joseph. I didn't want to interrupt." Amanda turned in his arms so she could slide hers around him.

"You," Thomas leaned down until he was barely brushing her lips, "are never an interruption."

She started to laugh when he drily admitted that she was a distraction though.

"I'll try to stop that." She said once calm.

"You better not." He muttered, finally kissing her.

"I'm going to miss this." She mumbled, once more barely brushing his lips with hers. "No interruptions while we sneak away."

"I thought you missed our three interruptions." He pressed her closer to his body.

"I do, horribly." She captured his bottom lip with her own causing him to suck in a surprised breath. "We will have to find a way to have both them and these rare moments alone."

"Agreed." His mouth slanted over hers, drawing a soft moan from her. "We'll have Rachel and Stephen over more often."

"Perfect." She stepped out of his arms.

He cocked an eyebrow at her when she held her hand out to him.

"Where are we going?" Thomas asked, allowing her to tug him further away from the party.

"Back to our bungalow." Amanda cast a coy glance towards him. "I have a very strong desire to be with my favorite actor from Top Gun"

"That better be me you're talking about." He yanked her back into his arms.

"As if there can be any doubt." She looped her arms around his neck. "You were the only one I visited the set for." Her eyes drifted down. "The one I found the most handsome in his uniforms." Her lips curved when she felt his body respond to her words. "The one I couldn't take my eyes off of whenever anyone else spoke."

"What about Tom?" He couldn't stop the question from tumbling out.

Her lifted back to his. "What do you mean?"

"He was playing your favorite character." He reminded her.

"So?"

Thomas grimaced somewhat. "Wasn't he able to steal your attention away from me?"

Amanda tilted her head in a manner that made him squirm as she silently studied him.

"Nevermi--" he started to say.

"Not once." She replied at the same time.

His eyes widened. "What did you say?"

"I said, not once." She returned to her former position of being close against him. "He doesn't even come close to holding my attention like you do."

"But you love Maverick." He reminded her

"True." She turned her head when she heard music begin playing. "Is that..."

Thomas felt his heart drop when he heard the familar song, Take My Breath Away, playing. He'd forgotten that his other costars were planning on using it to tease Tom. He could hear the laughter of the cast mixed with the melody.

Don't kiss me, he silently pleaded. Don't kiss me and think of Tom Cruise while you do it.

Amanda looked up at him with a playful, flirty smile.

"We should go." He mumbled as she inched closer.

"I'd rather have a kiss." She pressed her lips along his jaw. "Beau."

He stilled. "What did you call me?"

"Beau." She muttered between kisses along his neck. She leaned back to meet his shocked gaze. "Or would you rather I call you, Admiral, or your call sign, Cyclone?"

Thomas merely stuttered until her lips met his. He clutched her close when he realized what was happening.

The song, the very one her younger self used as daydream fuel of Tom Cruise while kissing, was now being used to think of his own character. Thomas didn't know he had anything left within him to fall more in love with his wife, but in this moment he could feel it happening.

He took over the kiss, determined to give her one that she would never forget. He tried to imagine how his character would react to having the woman he loved more than anything in his arms. Completely his. He used that inspiration to draw moans from her, glorying in taking her breath away.

How lucky could a man be to not only have his own dream girl to kiss in both real life and pretend?

It annoys me a bit when jikookers say that if someone does not see jikook romantically, it means that they are actually homophobic inside. It doesn't have to be that way, my friend doesn't see jikook romantically, but she's not a homophobe.

It's so annoying for me too. Not everything is about homophobia. There are some but I don't think it's most. There are even lots of gay people who don't see jikook romantically either. There are others that maybe will say "yeah they've had sex" or something like that, but don't think that they're dating dating.

Just two days ago on my youtube homepage there was a video of a dating coach reacting to Tom Holland and Zendaya. I watched that video and you know what he said? That he doesn't really see the "couple" vibe. Is he a *gasp* heterophobe??!??! Because I watched that video, I guess, youtube then recommended me another one of two guys reacting to them and in the end they said something like "I don't know if they're dating..". Heterophobia at its finest smh.

And we're talking about a straight couple who have even been photograpped kissing inside a car. Some people think that was a pap stunt for the movie, which okay. Hollywood has a history of doing that stuff. Kpop has a history of idols playing up romance or gayness for the cameras and people don't trust idols when it comes to these matters and I can't blame people... Throw the whole industry away. There's also a lot of people who don't feel entirely comfortable with affirming something about someone else when that person in question has never conffirmed anything. I mean, Tom and Zendaya have never actually said "we are in a romantic relationship", so people don't want to put words in their mouths and I don't see anything wrong about that.

Jungkook has never talked about spending Jimin's birthdays with him and I don't feel comfortable saying "oh Jungkook totally was with Jimin on his birthday" because how would I know that for sure? I mean, I think that he would spend it with JM because it seems logical, but I would never be able to wholeheartedly talk about it because none of them have ever confirmed it.

We all have a different idea of what romantic love and chemistry is supposed to look like and if someone thinks jikook aren't a romantic pair, that's perfectly fine. I don’t see much romance to jikook these days either, haven’t seen it in a while actually, and it doesn’t mean I suddenly want gay people to die.

Beatle tag (cause why not ✌💗)

I’m new to this fandom online, so what best way to present myself but doing this (plz don't kill me guys I come in peace).

But I do have to give an special to @sgt-revolver cause thanks to their post I decided to do it.

How long have you been a fan ?: About two years if I’m not wrong, but god it has been two intense ones. Long story short, this band never was part of my life (grew up in a different culture) until the day I was reading some fanfiction in AO3 and stumbled across one about them. I then found out they were the guys behind “Let it be” and “Here comes the sun” so I decided do dig even deeper..... (Now I’m here simping and crying to their music at 2am) 🙃

Favorite Beatle: Used to be Paul (man got a charm) but when I better discovered George as a hole human being, and not only a Beatle, I went 💥. Tho, sometimes I do get frustrated with him and stay on John’s side cause he was lowkey relatable and a big bi-disaster mood. (I suddenly feel bad for Rings.... srry bro )

Favorite era for music: At the beginning I didn't like the mop top era and practically only listened from Help! to then end, but now I appreciate each period as a part of the band’s musical history and can’t help to fangirl to most songs. (Tho I’ll always have a soft spot for 1966)

Favorite era for lewks: Each Beatles had its own I think. Ringo as a teddy boy (he looks like the bad boy of your dreams), George in 65` (longer hair but not to long and just overlay hotness) and Paul/John in 66`. (The perfect balance between early and late looks)

Favorite song: Guess it depends on my mood, but it’s surely a tight between “Strawberry fields forever”, “Happiness is a warm gun”, “Lovely Rita” “While my guitar gently weeps”, “Don't bother me” and “Across the universe”. (This is such an unfair question xd)

Favorite album: Honestly I just can’t decide.. Its prob either “The Beatles (aka white album)”, “With the Beatles” or “Revolver”

Unpopular/Controversial Beatles opinion: “Revolution 9″ is not an unlistenable song and has an actual artistic value. I mean, I don’t think is a song meant to be listened during a car ride, but I do think it encapsulates pretty well the chaotic and changing vibe of the late 60s. This song makes you feel unwell because it’s meant to. Despite that, I do believe it should not have been included on the album, but rather as a John/Yoko project. (Ik Geo had a input though)

A song everyone loves but you dislike: Never was the biggest fan of “Come together” or “With a little help from my friends”. They are not necessarily bad, but rather average for me

A song everyone dislikes but you love: “Run for your life”... I know the lyrics are quite nasty but its so catchy and I love George’s guitar in it. I also really like “Dizzy Miss Lizzy”, but I don’t know if it really is that unpopular among people

Your fantasy involving The Beatles: The PG one or the ??..

JK, but I would have love to meet them during their cavern/casbah days. Like about 1961, just to chat with them about rock n roll and even jam some songs. (Even if I’m not sure that I would love to do that as a girl or a guy). And I sincerely wish I could just have some deep conversations with George and John while we share a joint . I just wish I could have known them better...

Tell us about the moment you knew you were a fan: When returning home after a long school day I decided to look after some live material (At the time I only knew like 4 songs). I put YouTube on my tv, and found “She loves you” . I was not the same girl after watching that video. If I could explain how I suddenly felt so much joy and excitement looking at them that I even started singing and dancing. The rest is history 😉

Did you ever have a genuine ‘The Beatles suck !’ phase before becoming a fan?: Because their music was not around me 24/7 growing up, I never got fed up with their music. For me almost everything was new and interesting, so I never had a hater phase

Favorite Beatle’s book: Have not read any for the moment, but I’m dying to buy Cynthia’s and May’s books. (Also the autobiography “I me mine” by George)

Thoughts on the old generation of fans: Even if the few experiences I’ve had with them have not been good, I know most of them are chill people. I also love some podcasts made by first or second gen fans. The only thing that I dislike, is the average boomer who will claim they know more than you cause they were alive at the time, even if the only song they know its “Hey Jude” . (Or those who treat John as a saint, and blame the hole break-up on Paul... smh)

If Hollywood were to make a high budget Beatles biopic, what is one thing you desperately hope they include?: I wish they wont do it (We already got enough movies), but if they do something, it would be better if it was a series and not a film. If it had to happen, they better not forget how young the guys really were and how they were actual people. I know they were ground-breaking in so many ways, but they were also human beings with many defaults and even a bit naïve in some aspects. If you only give me a wife-beater (nasty) John, delicate flower Paul, silent George and dumb Ringo, the cartoon series has done a better job than you.

Do you read/write fanfic: One word.... Yes... *Hides her unfinished drafts*

Are you the only one in your family/friend group to enjoy them?: Sadly yes. I have to force my dad to play some Beatle music while driving cause most of the music he plays is raegetton, and even if I’m proud of my Latino roots.. I’ll do salsa or merengue anytime but not some Bad Bunny ok.

Are you a shipper?: Yup

Favorite movie starring/made by them?: Help!.. I mean I also love AHDN, but it’s just so funny to see them run around being high af as they play music despite Ringo being in mortal danger. (Also the visuals we get each song just give me such a MTV vibe. Its genuinely beautiful)

Do you believe in McLennon?: *smirks at the camera*

General opinions on McLennon?: Oh boy. The Lennon/McCartney relationship is one that seems out of my grandma telenovelas. From Paris to the breakup, their story is one of up and downs, but they never really stopped loving each other. Not even death could stop their link as Paul still dreams of him and thinks about John when composing songs. I understand that not everyone may be convinced that something really happened, but I think we all should be open to the possibility.

If you got to change ONE thing about their history, what would be and why?: Brian’s death. The beginning of the end was the moment he passed away. With Brian the band would still have broke up (All things must pass, even the good ones), but it would have been less messed up. No Paul trying to take the lead a bit too much, Apple Corps probably being better handled and no Allen Klein messing up everything. (And probably no Yoko in the studio but that may be a bit of a stretch)

What song has the best vocals?: As a group, “Because” it’s probably the one. Such a simple, yet perfectly well put vocals. The peak of their talent for harmonizing in my opinion. In another side “Oh Darling!” is prob Paul best and John’s voice in “This Boy” always get me

What song do you feel had no effort put into it?: Prob an unpopular opinion but “Eight Days a Week” is such a basic song. It’s not innovative, it just uses the formula, and I feel like around this time the guys were kind of tired and just fabricated the song to be a single. It simply not feels genuine, and for me it shows the biggest problem from the “Beatles for Sale” era.

What is a well talked moment in Beatles history you genuinely believe to be false?: The way Yoko met John. The most known story is that they met each other at a Yoko art gallery, but many sources (such a Cynthia or Brian personal assistant) tell us a complete different truth. I do believe she knew the band, stalked John and force herself into his life, despite of the romantic tale she keeps repeating.

What is something you KNOW to be true, but often gets erased in their history: John. So many things about John. Many see him as only a funny character and ignore so many cues that he was a man struggling with his own self esteem to the point of having eating disorders. Not forgetting his fluid sexuality, the fact that many think that as house husband all his problems went away or that he was a wife beater. John was more than the “Imagine” martyr or monster so many people (even some fans) make out of him.

Least favorite look from a Beatle(s): Ringo in the Help! movie. Horrible mushroom hair 😂

Favorite look from a Beatle(s): George Harrison in the “Hey Bulldog”/”Lady Madonna” videoclip. (I also want that cherry SG Standard so bad omg)

I really don’t know how many others have done it but here are my tags

@rocknroll-imagines @moreofthatdrowse @cultofbeatle @joan-deserved-the-silver-hammer

Thanks a lot guys !! ❤✌🥦🐘🎵😎

I don't know why my first instinct when writing a JM fic is to have Jon suave and in control, real Elias-y (without the psychopathy). Fell in your opinion had this problem, too; in the initial draft, Jon was perfectly aware of what he was doing and how he was going to do it and it was sooo boring. I ask myself, "What if he ... didn't know what he was doing?" You know, like in the gosh dang show I've been listening to for the last 70 hours! smh my head

I blame the fact that I'm an American and the most prominent British character Hollywood uses is Suave and Cool Under Pressure, which is why I believe Inbetweeners should be essential watching material for American children. In this essay I will

10x02: Reichenbach

June 21st, 2003:

A boy wakes from sleep to hear a fight happening in his house. He finds his dad brutally murdered downstairs. As he cries over the body, we see a de-aged Dean Winchester walk in the room with a bloody knife. (Like, what a weird thing to spend money on, idk)

Cut to (UGH) Cole (UGH) who was that boy. He’s telling his tale to a tied up Sam. He’s going to kill Dean. Sam tells him that “Dean isn’t Dean right now.” Cole is getting high off of thinking about his revenge so there’s no talking to him. Sam tells him that Dean had his reasons for killing his dad. There are monsters out there.

(UGH) Cole (UGH) thinks he’s talking about human monsters (of which there are many) but Sam tells him REAL monsters. Cole keeps calling Sam the psycho but then puts on gloves and pulls out a hammer. UGH.

Killdeer, North Dakota

Our Demon Dean Bean is enjoying the view (and touching without consent..smh). He throws money on the ground for the exotic dancer and she’s less than impressed and starts to walk away. He grabs her again and this time the bouncer stops him. Dean headbutts him and we’re suddenly watching (UGH) Cole (UGH) beat up Sam. I’m going to be honest, smart editing makes recapping hard. :D Cole continues to demand where Dean is. Dean continues to wale on the bouncer. Dudes at the bar are not stopping him --like, holy fuck, stop him, assholes! He stops himself, finishes his drink, and leaves.

(UGH) Cole (UGH) continues to torture Sam, but he doesn’t realize that he’s dealing with Sam Fucking Winchester. That boy is a badass and he will NOT break. Cole’s just about to break Sam’s kneecap when his phone rings. It’s his wife so he answers and walks away, leaving his keys and a knife on the ground.

Outside the strip club, Dean runs into Crowley.

For Dear God Dunk Me Under That Running Water Science:

Cas is on the road with Hannah and his fake grace is failing him. She heals a wound of his and he thanks her but tells her she can go. She’s staying. She wants to help. That makes Cas laugh. It’s just so very human of her. (HANNAH)

Cas gets a call from Sam. He has a lead on Dean and tells Cas to head to North Dakota. Sam then drops the bomb that Dean is a demon.

Cas and Hannah head out to meet Sam. Hannah doesn’t see the point in helping the Winchesters. Cas sees otherwise. They’re his friends. (Blarf...this is season 10. One more season and he’ll be living in the bunker and he’ll be family and I just can’t take it.) Cas is not ok and starts to nod off while driving, and they crash. #RipPimpMobile

Dean and Crowley are at a bar. Crowley asks Dean how he’s doing, knowing full well that he’s not doing that great. He needs to kill. Crowley offers him a deal that he can’t refuse --kill for him.

Crowley has a list. First up: Mindy Morris. She cheated on her husband and then asked for a divorce. Lester, the husband, would rather sell his soul than give up his money. Mindy’s going to die. Dean agrees.

Cas and Hannah have the car towed to a car repair shop. The extra nice mechanic invites them into her home. Hannah is not used to this human condition and it’s kinda cute. She also doesn’t get human humor. Also cute. Cas is so out of it, he doesn’t register the exchange. They head inside. Hannah heads to find food for Cas (wait, with his fading grace, does he need to eat?) and returns to the living room to find Cas zonked out on the couch.

Dean stalks Mindy Morris’s house and just as he’s about to go in to do his job, he sees Lester pull up. He goes to have a chat with Lester. Pro tip: Not a great idea to be at the scene of the crime when the crime is happening. Dean tells Lester that he can’t really blame Mindy for stepping out. “She’s a North Dakota Eight. You’re a Four and a half max.”

Wanna see a Hollywood Ten:

Also, Lester was already cheating on Mindy (UGH). Demon Dean maybe learned a thing between the no consent touching and this moment, because he ain’t buying the shit that Lester is selling. He punches him. Lester tells Dean that he works for him now and he needs to get in that house and do his job. Uh, demon or no, don’t tell Dean “Free Will” Winchester what to do; He’s going to do the opposite. Dean guts him with the First Blade. Oops.

Sam’s at the Angelz Strip Club (LOLOLOLOLOLOL, Dean wishes it was one angel --I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. But also, wtf? Is it because he’s a demon, and irony?) He’s talking with the bouncer. They exchange war stories. Sam asks the bouncer to call him (or Lemmy Kilmister at least) if he sees Dean again. Meanwhile, (UGH) Cole (UGH) lurks and follows Sam as he drives away.

The next morning, Cas wakes to Looney Tunes (god, I love this running theme through Andrew Dabb episodes) and a little girl who has the most fascinating dreams about snot and rockets. Epic.

She offers Cas some of her cereal and he accepts. IT’S ADORABLE, PEOPLE. (A thousand Cas with small child fics were born, I’m sure.) The mechanic and Hannah watch and smile and all is right with the world. The mechanic tells Hannah their car is ready. And then she tells her that she’s got a great guy. (Lol, he’s already taken. Hannah learned that little factoid last season.)

Meanwhile Crowley’s in hell (seewhatididthere) while a demon explains to him how to make Hell more efficient. Sam calls Crowley, but Interrupting!Dean (‘cause he’s a demon, I guess) strolls in very proud of himself for killing Lester. When Crowley chews him out for it, Dean shoves him to the ground with his little demon head-tilt. Crowley rather insightfully sums it up: Dean’s a li’l bit human and a li’l bit demon.

Instead of cowering in fear, Dean’s supremely unimpressed by the King of Hell. He informs Crowley that they’re not “besties” and that he’ll come around when he needs someone new to kill. “It's over,” Crowley decrees. “What can I say? Crazy ones...well, they're good for a fling. But they're not relationship material.” It’s okay, Crowley. Breakups are hard!

In sunny angel-land, Hannah takes over driving for Cas who is looking awful. Listen, I don’t often fantasize about swaddling grown men and spoon feeding them soup but Cas! BBY! You look like hammered crap.

Crowley finds Moose and tells him where to find Squirrel. The Mark of Cain’s a PIA and he’d rather be shot of Dean altogether.

Cas wakes up in the parked car to find Hannah gone. She went up to Heaven to speak to Metatron in jail. Careful! He’s a tricksy devil. She tries to interrogate Metatron for the whereabouts of the last remnants of Cas’s grace. Oh, sure! Coming right up.

Metatron says he’ll barter Cas’s grace for sweet freedom. Hannah’s about to bite when Cas arrives.

Cas approaches angrily and tells Hannah not to do it. “I've made deals born of desperation, and they always end in blood and tears.”

Castiel doesn’t want to be saved like that. Hannah reluctantly agrees and walks off. Metatron leaves Cas with a parting shot: there’s just enough of his grace to save him. “Keep it,” Cas tells him. “I’ve made peace with my fate.” OKAY BUT we haven’t. Just so you know.

Metatron decides to make a really compelling argument for freeing him. He’ll escape one day and then...kill everybody. How fun and well-adjusted. He taunts Castiel as he leaves: “Dead man walking!”

On Earth, Dean pensively plays the piano?????????? Bored with piano practice, he pulls out the First Blade and slices his hand, then watches it heal up while Crowley’s advice to choose between the two natures echoes in his head. Sam approaches. (Aaaaand musical number time. Sing him a song, Dean!)

Dean picks up the blade and stalks over to the bar. Sam suggests a nice, civilized trip home to do the demon cure. For some reason, demon Dean isn’t into that plan. He confesses that he’d like to rip Sam’s throat out with his TEETH which is...certainly an image.

Sam expresses his unending loyalty: it doesn’t matter what Dean might have done as a demon. He just wants him home. Dean laughs at him but his mirth gets interrupted by a smoke bomb going off. When Sam stumbles outside the bar, he’s met with (UGH) Cole (UGH). Cole knocks Sam “The Head Injury” Winchester out.

Cole meets Dean at last, who roundly mocks him for not killing Sam already. Cole dramatically announces who he is to Dean. Dun dun DUN. He’s the son of a man you killed decades ago who has since grown into a completely different looking adult! I mean, come on, Dean. Work on your facial recognition here. Dean apologizes - all those dead people over the years have blurred together.

Dean taunts Cole, telling him to shoot him already. (Side note: as much as I dislike demon Dean, he really plays up his eyes nicely in these scenes.)

For Eye Crinkle Science:

They fight. Dean reminds me of a cat toying with a mouse. “What did you think was gonna happen, huh? You just stroll up here and say “my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die,” And I'd just roll over? Well, that's just… It makes me sad.”

(UGH) Cole (UGH) cuts Dean, who heals before his eyes. He demon-flashes him.

Dean starts beating Cole within an inch of his life but hesitates… Sam takes that opportunity to toss holy water onto Dean and slap on those warded cuffs. You got ‘im, Sammy! Good work.

Later, Sam hands the first blade over to Crowley for safe keeping (and WOW about that, really).

(UGH) Cole (UGH) apparently headed straight to the public library after his little prize fight and, still bloodied and barely standing, asks the librarian for every book she has on demons. Please, Cole, demon and witchcraft books always get stolen within the first month on the shelf.

Back at the bar, Crowley enjoys his froofy drink and fondles the First Blade while thinking of his ex. And then we get a close-up of his phone. It’s a photo of Dean and Crowley wearing cowboy hats and being dorks together. Over the scene, the song “Lonely girl” plays. I CAN’T EVEN WITH THIS.

Sam drives Dean home to the bunker. Dean refers to Baby as “just a car” and we all die a little inside. Sam has hope, though. He chose not to kill Cole. Dean just smiles. He didn’t give (UGH) Cole (UGH) mercy...he handed him his destroyed pride on a platter. “That ain’t mercy. That’s the worst thing I coulda done to ‘im.” He then promises to visit more of his anti-mercy on Sam.

______________________________

Quote it Again, Sam:

Sam and Dean may be a bit rough around the edges but they’re the best men I’ve ever known.

I understand the three beans, but what’s the surprise?

What is this, a lifetime movie?

Anger management issues

“Maybe I feel this way because there is a level of anger inside me about what has happened to Sam and Caitriona’s private lives. “

mrsD79

So angry. You can feel the heat. So many of these Extreme shippers are furious that the fantasy they concocted turned out to be just that: a fantasy.

Sometimes, as a MATURE adult, mrsD79, you just have to accept that even TV celebrities don’t do what you wanted them to do, and learn to control your anger. Otherwise you look like a child throwing a tantrum.

Every day, recently, I have to wade through hundreds of ‘receipts’ sent by Extreme Shippers and coming across my blog (whilst I search for something new on Outlander and its cast) in a but-desperate attempt to ‘prove’ that Sam and Cait were more than just good friends, that Cait got pregnant every time her belly bulged, that they share a house together rather than just visit like friends do, that going to the theatre together proves that they are secretly married.....

Well, maybe, just maybe it was the case. BACK THEN. Most of those hot ‘receipts’ date from 2014, 2015, 2016....Maybe she changed her mind. People do, you know. Just look at the number of people who divorce even after promising, in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation, to stick together for as long as they live.

Or, maybe, just maybe, the ‘star-crossed lovers’ had a blazing row and the ‘assistant’ saw his chance and popped the question. Maybe he was indeed the tag-along, the sunglass holder who made good. Or the spare who became the heir. Or the alternative who wasn’t down the gym all day. Or just convenient shoulder to weep on, the man who stayed up late to give her her supper, the man who rubbed her tired feet, the loyal boyfriend who didn’t have conventional matinee idol good looks but instead possessed charm and a great sense of humour, the man who proved his love by his devotion. it happens....

Or maybe, just maybe, as a grown adult, mrsd79 (let me guess, born in 1979? So that would make you, what, ...40?) you might just consider that Sam and Cait NEVER were an item (which, after all, is what she said, all along, wasn’t it? ). And maybe, just maybe, (unlike Sam?) she’d had enough of playing the hollywood PR games and begged Albrecht and Moore to let her do the denial interview. We never saw her reaction to KDS’s ‘believe what you want to believe’, did we? I’ll bet she was mighty pissed. But we did see a change in the SamCait relationship once she got engaged, didn’t we? No more nipple kissing, no more tonguing....

Whatever the truth, whatever the real story, not the fantasy one conjured up by Extreme Shippers, she’s married Tony now. In a Catholic wedding ceremony. And her mum and sisters were there, along with her oldest friends

Maybe, just maybe Tony was there right from 2014, as the Original Boyfriend, just like the antis claim, whilst Sam was chasing blondes round the swimming pools of Loas Angeles. Wasn’t Tony, after all, the one she always went on holidays with, at Christmas and at New Year? Even though he does indeed wear sideburns (I wonder how that Aussie shipper knows what a 1970′s porn star looked like, btw?SMH)

But evidently, Mrs Balfe-McGill wants to keep her private life PRIVATE. Do you blame her, the way you extreme shippers have abused and harrassed her? And not only Cait, but her boyfriend/fiance/ now husband, who never signed up for the life of a celebrity.

The private lives of Sam and Cait are their business, not yours, or ours, or even mine. Even if they are ‘celebrities’. So maybe, just maybe, you should learn to control that temper of yours. And let them live the life the way they want to, not the way you and all those other shippers want them to.

Oh, and I believe this was dated January 2016. About the time T & C started seriously dating each other. Was that before or after the IFH?

« ooc info — oak, 18, east, any pronouns » though they strongly resemble benjamin wadsworth, you’re not going to see darren “dare” title in hollywood. instead, they go to highview u, where he/they studies piano performance. the twenty-one year old is a demiboy and has a reputation among their friends as being empathetic and reckless, but there’s no choice but to keep them around. impulsive stick and pokes, smoke from a bonfire in the distance, and tear stained cheeks always remind me of them, but i might just be going stir crazy.

hey, squad !! i’m oak and i’m so heckin’ excited to be here! as you can see, i’m 18, use any pronouns, and from east. not the est. the east. i wholeheartedly put that on my app and i ain’t fixing it. anyways here’s some deets about dare. you can also find his pinterest board here. yeehonk. let’s get it.

i’m going to sparknotes this as much as possible, but if you have any questions feel free to hmu

also a general alcohol tw

dare was born and raised in detroit to a loving mother and a father he couldn’t have hated more. truly, the dad wasn’t ready for fatherhood and took it out on his own kid. the hatred started early and was reciprocated, more from his father’s side than his own. neither dare or his mom really stood up to old pops for being a dick and sort of lived with it.

(parental death tw) the thing is, dare’s mom died soon after he turned thirteen of a heart attack and the remaining title’s weren’t the same. his dad turned into an entire... monster and dare quickly took the mantle of an edgy emo boy. he had no idea how to deal with such a loss and a father who blamed him for his mother’s death. after a year of wallowing and taking his father’s shit, darren decided enough was enough and ran to live with his aunt who lived about twenty minutes away from highview u. his dad was like “aight see ya” and completely forgot about dare and adopted a brand new perfect son who was also french. smh.

truthfully, dare never got over his whole edgy phase and was salty about his father for ages (and still is!). his aunt was very lax in “parenting” (if you can even say she did that) and at most would just pick up dare from the police station after he set fire to a pile of trash at the junkyard. until he was sixteen, dare went buckwild, okay? he was committing crimes left and right, partying until dawn, and then doing it all over again the next week. he was decent though. and still kept up with school. his dad said that he expected dare to drop out a few too many times and he truly stayed in school just for spite. the one thing his aunt did to help him though was teach him how to play the piano. it was something his mom truly loved and dare always wanted to learn, but his dad always said he couldn’t. turns out he was a natural and here he is attending highview u on scholarship because there’s no way he could get in otherwise.

personality wise, he’s a dick, usually. to the public, he’s a menace. at the police station, he’s hated. he’s god a lethal tongue and doesn’t really give a shit about people’s feelings. total asshole, you get it, right? but here’s the catch: i really... think that when dealing with this group of friends, dare is just a whole new person. he has an entirely separate personality that’s much kinder and more understanding than the one he puts on to the general public. dare really loves this group more than anyone and considers them his family. he understands them, is usually open about his past issues, and would die for them in a heartbeat. also, he’s unusually emotional around them. catch him having a breakdown in the hot tub at least four times over this vacation!

some more hcs as if this isn’t long enough i’m sorry: dare is bi and identifies as a demiboy! he usually uses he/him pronouns but will use they/them too. his favorite crime is arson. he usually won’t get in a fight because he can’t risk damage to his hands, but will deck someone if truly needed. loves loves loves frank ocean and the nbhd. he’ll impulsively give himself stick and pokes and is a master at it. cries in every movie. has drunk dmed david dobrik at least 14 times asking if he can join the squad. whiskey king.

wanted plots!

he has a competition with sabrina to kiss every person in the group so... if you want to kiss him playing spin the bottle or in the hot tub or something... hmu

maybe there’s one person he really can’t get along with in the group

they didn’t get off on the right foot and they blossomed into friends later on

his roommate(s) on the trip!!!

an ex ohhhh he’s a serial kisser

childhood friends?

his roommate back at school

drinking buds

they cry in the hot tub together

the one friend he’s especially close to and goes to when he’s in his feelings

I don't think anything of what the cc fandom posts anymore is "continued optimism". It looks like sheer terror that they're losing their game. Abby is in pure desperation mode, trying to rally the troops because she can see Darren's life is turning out to be nothing like she predicted. She can no longer validate that Darren NEEDS her, he keeps going against her. They're losing their grip. This isn't optimism, it's because everything Darren is doing equals Abby losing control of the narrative.

I agree with that they were in panic mode since the wedding but the 72 hours or so after Hollywood was announced they were euphoric that this was proof that Darren would be coming out soon. That has worn off already and they are back to their normal crap but for a few days, they were giddy. They were even speaking about a divorce in very near future.

I am going on record, I like AW and I like her a lot. She is team D, I really have no doubt and everything she is showing is that she is on his side and around to protect him often and frequently.

Yes she is giving us the illusion that she and PBB are besties that love to take intimate photos together but in reality she is showcasing exactly who M is, how much she lacks chemistry with D, some really not so pretty moments behind the scenes btwn D&M (there was some golden footage from European trip number 1 includng that video from the fireworks where E is all snuggled into her man and D&M look like virtual strangers), she flew to that island to babysit, and she announced the business family honeymoon.

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

AW is team d. She is a hard working, extremely successful men’s stylist with a pretty impressive client list at this point. And while she would absolutely have loyalty toward D, as she built her career styling him, she should not be this involved. A friend just reminded me that her other client, FW is currently promoting the J/udy Ga/rland movie. That is something AW usually would accompany her clients to, she follows D everywhere. yet no one questions why instead of being with FW she spent 2 days in a row with PBB.

I think she and d are working together and i believe she provides d with comfort. She babysits M, she works as a buffer, and unlike so many other enablers, she has D’s back. She is smart, she knows how to play M and her stans. On the surface she looks like she might almost be in love with M (seriously she has way more chemistry with her than D), but it is all a mirage, done for show. And if you look behind a lot of what she posts, it is harmful to m/iarren.

I know I have repeated the same think a lot over the past 48 hours, but I am so scared to allow myself to believe that change is ahead. And i got burned with ACS because I BELIEVED with my entire being this was the beginning of change and then everything escalated to full on disaster. But I still think no one got burned more than D&C because I am fairly certain they thought change was ahead as well.(Again the narcissism just has to rear it’s ugly head).

But I cannot stop myself from being optimistic and it is not just the RM partnership. It is the totality of the circumstances. It is watching the past 7 months since the sham mockery. It is seeing how they past 7 months were designed solely to promote her, not D, and done mainly using people only seen by fandom (her employees/friends, SK, PBB’s team). She got the massive exposure and the press from the “wedding” and some RCs as the “wife” but not much more and has now been relegated to mainly being promoted by the aforementioned. And that is only seen by fandom. Add, for the past several months, D himself has hardly tried. A random good pic here and there, but otherwise he orchestrated group honeymoons, barely touched her even when kissing, the jerk, bitch glare, the back turn. D has gained nothing until now. He certainly did not do this for a show he sold 3 years ago that is being written by, like them or not, Hwood novices. I hardly think he needed a wife to score the TB commercial. And SA doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who cares who d’s partner is, it was just a great collaboration.

And here we are, September, D is filming R/oyalties and we get the announcement that he is collaborating with RM again, not just as the star, but exec producer of a show that largely involves, based on early press, LGBT+ themes. And I have to HOPE.

The stage is set. D “married” her. He has been set up to take the blame as well as his team, thereby absolving RM. And it would make a lot of sense for RM to now step in and play the “hero.” We know the truth. D and C know the truth. But RM has the power to smooth what is going to be a difficult narrative to navigate. And it is a win for D&C and a win for RM. The m/iarrens are going to be devastated, as they are so invested in being right and D being straight (No we aren’t)(again the narcissism and her soul-crushing need to be right-is this about Darren or Abby?). And even if we just get a separation it will all be questioned. Because M is the only thing that makes him straight (not true, Darren identifying as straight is what makes him straight). Everything else points at the opposite. Add the press has not helped him at all on his path to come out, so it is going to be difficult to navigate. Having the “king of television” in his corner speaks volumes.

And then there is his horrific, abusive, incompetent team. And they haven’t just fucked with him, it seems with their no queer article they fucked with RM.(Huh? What?) I really hope they live to regret it.

Karma is a bitch.. May she rear her ugly head and finally give these people what they deserve. If i am sitting here a year from now and nothing has changed, I will be heartbroken for him. And wonder if maybe he did choose career. I just can’t believe that is who he is. I think he is a fighter and everything he has ever shown confirms that (DELUSION-ville) thought even if there was some confusion when the fraud in NOLA first occurred.

Here is hoping nonnie. Here is hoping.

I think a major decision like this was made together.

Read the book when it comes out in Oct 1. I thought c references RM. now I’m near positive.

And Hwood itself was initially announced in February. I immediately thought this was the project RM was cooking up (curious if FW and CF join the cast). But then there was silence for months,

And the first 8 months of 2019 were a complete shitshow that included that absolute fiasco in NOLA, excessive PBB promo, ads, ads, ads, TB, and SK. Not a single one of which were worthy of D’s time and attention. And to all onlookers, we were dazed and confused. utterly and completely and not sure what to think or believe.

But putting the pieces together prior to last nights announcement, logically and rationally looking at everything, it seems to me that finally D was tying up loose ends. While I do think D himself was dazed and confused in the first few weeks after that fraud occurred, it has been clear to me that starting with the work family group honeymoon (I think of all the arrows to m/iarren that have been shot, this might be my favorite) something shifted. How anyone can not see that that woman was being way over promoted is beyond me (Because “promotion isn’t a thing, Abby”). But clearly the 1st 8 months of 2019 were devoted to giving her everything and anything she ever wanted. Add in SK, the biggest enablers, that are being rewarded, first by raising an obnoxious amount of cash, and now with R/oyalties with D’s writers being his partners in the business. All of these things are massive pay out.

And last night we get this announcement from D.

notes-from-nowhere

do you want to know what I find very intriguing in all of this? The fact that all of that has been said in this topic pretty much sums up what we have said in the last 15 months if not more.

The latest news only uncovers the thread that keep all of “out theories” together. Of course something might be wrong, misplaced or misunderstood but the big picture is there for all to see (No, you don’t say?).

I do think it is too soon for me to fully embrace the idea that finally things are on the right path but well, please, excuse me for my optimism after a year and a half of struggle.

I’m going to root for D to have back his life and to finally be free to make his own choices. I hope this career advancement (or for better wording: this career extension) will give him what he wants and the power to just be his fully self and spread his wings.

I will watch what’s unfold in front of my eyes with interest from now on and a reneview wave of hope.

I do trust D is going to take the best decision ever among those available to him. My only fear is that those options may not be the one I hope for him but all I can do right now is wait and see. Hope for the best and expect the worst. Is the wiser thing I can do

ajw720

@notes-from-nowhere it’s impossible to not be skeptical. I didn’t see that “wedding” a 1000 miles away. (SMH) I care way too much (a me problem). I felt like my heart broke that day and I need to take care of me and be cautious. But I’m leaning this is good and I do think the public evidence to date supports this.

This is what euphoria looks like in cc fandom.

It’s interesting that she convinced herself this is Darren coming out when she thought he would come out during Hedwig based on this:

He and C were very relaxed, joking at interviews when G/lee was ending, both in France at the same time, the C/ol-Fur joke, the repeated telling of mandate. Everything seemed to point to a positive resolution. C even scheduled his book tour to be finished the day prior to d’s last performance. and then D was nominated for an emmy and everything seemed to shift and spun out of control and here we are, 4 years later.

She “rationally analyzes” the data and comes to the conclusion he’s coming out rather than understanding he’s just living his life.

Yara got cast in ‘The Sun Is Also a Star’, a movie adaptation in which the character was darkskinned in the book. Also, when someone asked her about why all the girls in Grownish are exclusively lighter than a paper bag, she dismissed it and said to just watch the show. She’s definitely in the same boat as all the other girls.

Oh my bad I didn’t know the first thing! But people seem to only be on her case about grownish. And in the explanation that I saw, she said she understands the impact that colorism had in the casting but at the end of the day it is what it is, which...isn’t an apology at all smh but I can’t fault her for wanting her coin. As far as I know she didn’t have a direct hand on the casting. It’s extremely aggravating yes, but I don’t see why people have to put that blame specifically on her. Like I said, if we’re gonna be this hypercritical of Yara, we need to do that for all the hollywood litebrites that get cast as the “that’s enough black female representation for now!” token. Tessa Thompson specifically is the token black woman in EVERYTHING now and this site loves her! But the same people will criticize Yara and boycott her shows 🤔 I just want to know the reason why I guess. It’s entirely valid to not want to fw grownish and even Yara to an extent, but that same energy should be maintained for ALL of these ladies.

bulk

~~mod~~ OK here’s the bulk. ill add to the comments. Before anyone asks my opinion on it or how i feel about it ill just say it.. I don’t care and Im not bothered by it, I haven’t liked her for a very long time due to how she treated a close friend of mine, them together doesn’t change my fan-ness of him. I know that there are others that don’t care some that are happy for him and i know that there are a large number of people out there you are angry , hurt and devastated. I get it and i want you all to be able to express that, but do me a favor and respects each others feelings and opinions and keep it medium.

Anon: I am devastated Mod. He lied to us. Blatantly and I will never forgive him for that. I can’t even look at anything he is in ever again. I just can’t believe I trusted him as much as I did. I believed his words when he spoke. Now I don’t know him at all. He is NOTHING like what he says he is. I hope they are ripped apart by media because he deserves everything now. It hurts me so much to say that because I used to defend everything about him. I don’t even know what to say about him now.

Brandi:Let’s tease this NR DK thing out a little. Anon:First off, good for Norman. She’s age appropriate and has some understanding of the entertainment industry and the pitfalls of it. AnonThat said, Norman works eight months out of the year in rural Georgia and works a ton outside of TWD. DK works predominantly in Europe. (I believe) When the heck are these two actually going to see each other? Anon:If her bad behaviour toward her fans/coworkers is to be believed, Norman may have trouble with this. Reedus is incredibly kind to people/fans, if she is rude to them, it might not go well for her, in Norman’s eyes. Anon:The earlier denial of his romance with DK is similar to what happened with CS. Did he not deny they where more than friends for ages?! I can’t blame him, I think he was protecting her, people where really hard on that girl. Anon:Just my two cents. Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Anon::My friend got it on good authority that Daryl will DIE in S8 because of all the negative publicity caused by NR sneaking around w/ DK. 😢 That he “came out” with their relationship per those photos taken in NYC last night to try to make himself look honorable. But AMC had already decided to kill him off bcause of the bad fan reaction to his affair with DK–denying it and such. AMC just now informed NR that Daryl will die in a battle w/ Negan. Totally crying right now. This cannot be true!?!?! 😭

Anon:He’s drunk in those pictures. He doesn’t look happy only drunk and nasty. It’s disgusting marching down the street being something he always claimed to hate. I’m done with him. Anon:Norman is completely full of bullshit.

normieslittletwign : Well, I guess they’re official. The only thing that disappoints me is how it was handled. They should have “come out” as a couple right at the beginning and let the chips fall where they may. She could have said that her relationship with JJ was on the rocks for some time, that they’d been leading separate lives for awhile… whatever…. make shit up!! They’re only human and shit happens, the heart wants what the heart wants. IDK But now Norman is (or may be) seen as a homewrecker. She may be seen as a cheater all because no one knows when this relationship started. To be caught mere weeks after releasing an “official statement” that they are “just friends”… SMH. The pics are *not* of people who are “just friends”. I also feel for fans who have put Norman up on such a high pedestal… they must be devastated!! For the record, I’m still a fan of and still like Norman. He has a very unique personality, I quite like his acting and a number of his movies, not to mention TWD. But then again, I never put him on a pedestal and read too much into his interviews. I most likely will never meet the guy and I’m OK with that. And if I did, I’d just be another fan who wants a pic or an autograph. To be honest, I’ve never wanted to meet *any* celebrity. I’m one of the biggest Iron Maiden fans around (36 years and counting… am I aging myself? lol) and if I go to my grave having never met any of the members of Iron Maiden (or any other band or actor I admire) it won’t bother me a bit. But that’s probably just me. You know, God himself could hand pick a lovely woman for Norman and she still wouldn’t be seen as being good enough for him by the “lunatic-fringe” fans. Now to sit back and watch the shit-storm. I’ve noticed on Norman’s Instagram he’s already feeling the heat… sadly.

dixonimagines:On the DK thing: Are they f*cking 13 years olds, making out in a street corner like they can’t rent a hotel room? I enjoyed meeting him this year but I will never again pay another cent to meet him. Not only is he a liar but also freaking dumb one. Why lie when he knew he would be outed sooner or later? I do not feel betrayed but I cannot continue being a fan of someone who is dumb enough to put his fandom at risk for a fling with some woman. He is no better than most of us.

Anon:i don’t particularly like DK, but I also don’t think she’s the evil bitch that some make her out to be. Whatever their relationship is, it’s theirs to explore and pursue. N looks happy in the pics and that’s good enough for me. I’m actually more concerned about Mod being bombarded with the Insanity 😰Sending you 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃, Mod, stay gold!

Anon:I feel like this has been explained ad nauseum (though ppl choose not to listen) but *some* fans are upset this couple began by breaking up Diane’s 10+ yr relationship. So it was cheating then 2+ years lying, with fans defending him against cheating rumors. Is it really that hard to understand that some may take it personally because they defended him, or because they’ve experienced relationships broken by cheating? “As long as the cheaters are happy who cares” is a rather ignorant response.

Anon:Can I just point out how happy Norman looks in the pics with DK? Anyone who can make Norman’s smile that wide is good with me. I wish them so much happiness ❤

Anon:Did pR’s reps genuinely not know he was seeing DK? The just friends comment is making less and less sense 🙈

Anon:To all those defending Norman saying he is entitled to a private life YES he is. But these shots were staged for the paps, he has chosen to forgo his privacy, and expect more like this to come. Everyone in the industry knows these types of relationships are biz deals, he couldn’t give a fuc what anyone thinks, he is as hollywood, elite and privileged as they come. He does not deserve defending. So many of his fans so naive and gullible.

Anon:for people that are saying ‘oh get over it’ or 'why taking this so personally’ its not that the question. Norman lied since day one when it came to all this mess. He lied that he didnt cheat JJ with her. He lied when said they were just friends 3 weeks ago. he lied when he said he loves honest people. he lied when he said he doesnt understand cheating…i mean this is years and years of lies and people believing he was one thing when he was other. its too many lies

Anon:Lol honestly I’m not even his fan and i feel like i could cut a bitch now because i was here trying to prove that he was better than the rumors that were always circling around. I saw on him a good guy trying to break bad habits and i feel fucking offended with this! lol i mean he is a 48 year old men why lie? he didnt need all of this…unless he had another thing going (which we all know its rumored to have) and someone dropped someone and he went on the easy root. sad excuse of a man sorry.

Anon:Now i get why he is friend with Balthazar Getty, which in my opinion, is the ultimate douchebag of Hollywood….Norman is exactly the same. Nobody cant deny people..he is a sleezy liar. Hope he likes to see his daily life on daily mail from now on.

Anon:the fact that norman played the game of the 'honest'person and he hates liars makes me sick. He lied to everyone. No he doesnt owns us anything but he denied any romantic link with her 3 weeks ago. this to me is beyond ridiculous. I guess she got what she wanted and he once again is going along because its comfortable to him and guarantee he have his dick wet at least once a week…but the rest?? i feel sorry for the fans that always believed how good guy and true to himself he was.

Anon:I guess I have mixed feelings about the whole DK relationship. He does look really happy and I personally don’t care who he is with. But why all the sneaking around and lying? I can only think of one reason they would do that. They wanted to make the cheating rumors look untrue. To me the cheating rumors now look true. I am still a fan of his but I don’t think I will spend the money to see him if he comes to the Walker Stalker near me.

Anon:They are both scum. Anon:Up till now I always gave him the benefit of the doubt, but I feel like the biggest fool alive now. He really is a LIAR!! Yuck, so disappointed in him 😳.

Anon:I just feel sorry for the people that believed in him. They have been duped/snowed/hoodwinked by a professional liar and all around horrible person.

Anon:Let’s Please try to not make Norman and DK’s relationship about us. It has nothing to do with lying to fans, manipulating fans, or laughing at fans. There’s no personal insult to his fans here. It’s just them letting the world know on their terms, not ours. In other news, I’m so glad he looks happy. His kid is growing up, his job has got to be ending in the next few years (sorry but that’s just reality), and he deserves some joy as he figures out what to do next.

Anon:I truly don’t get all the DK hate. And w/ those pics coming out today, I’m sure it will only get worse. How about everyone just be glad he’s in an age appropriate relationship this time? I mean, I can’t be the only one who was completely grossed out by the 18 year old, right?

Anon:I am completely done with him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for so long and I am mostly an optimistic person…But this is just disgusting. IDC who he dates tbh…But this snake???? And the cheating??? Breaks my heart. It’s awesome that he gives his all to his fans but I think it feeds his narcissistic ways. Sorry Norman…You will live your life whatever you want to…You’re a grown man (sometimes)

Anon:Sending you tons of nachos and lots of alcohol for the incoming shitstorm. If you need anything else let me know.

Anon:I just did a google searched on the latest on NR, and there is a picture of what appears to be N kissing DK right in plain view of a pap. Rather this is the real deal or simply a PR move on behalf of DK herself, N and D are together. Love it or hate it, we don’t have a say in who he dates and I personally wouldn’t want to because I wouldn’t want people to do the same to me.

Anon:Sorry something is not right , your people denied the rumours 3 weeks ago and then you come out hand in hand with her , plus it doesnt look kissing to me but ok , im dissapointed in him , but i will still be a daryl fan !

meags672:This night out was obviously their 'coming out’. They both look very happy to me! Good for them. Its about time!

Anon::Ohhhh mod. ALL OF THE WHISKEY AND NACHOS FOR YOU!!!! Anon:It’s official. Norman is a cheater and liar. They are both gross and deserve each other. They deserve every ounce of hate they get. #shittypeople Anon:its confirmed, they are a couple. bye bye norman. i don’t support lying little cheating sneaks

superleeleehipster:I am sending two bottles of whiskey your way and some nachos… followed by chocolate cause this is gonna get crazy for another week :p

Anon:So umm… how are Norman’s reps gonna say they’re “just friends” again when there are pics of them holding hands and making out? Anon:Those “just friends” look very very happy. I think you all should be happy for him.

Anon:she went to paris to support her friend, just friends, that what friends do, right. but not the show in spain bc why. tho she goes out so ppl see her there. no pap or fan shots of her in fr or ger. why none in ny until some of him show up. guess they r friends who dont hang out in public. btw why never any fan pics of her any where, does she not have fans. just pap shots around him

Anon:Bye bye Norman. You’re canceled. It’s official, they are together. Eonline posted pics of them kissing and holding hands while smiling and walking around in NYC yesterday. They really made it official after denying everything just three weeks ago. It makes me so sick to see DK all happy. Disgusting ain’t even a damn word about what I feel

Anon:Norman died for me. Did you see the eonline pics? He’s holding hands and kissing DK in PUBLIC. They walked around and had the biggest smiles on their faces. What an incredible disgusting piece of trash Norman is. Disappointment is not even a word how I feel right now. Sorry if I’m going to unfollow you but I don’t want to see anything about him anymore.

Anon:Seriously not a fan any longer. You can date who you want, but why lie about it 3 weeks before going public? That makes you shady in my book and I don’t support shady people.
