NAOMI & JOSH & ANGEL — DAY FORTY.

location : daybeds.

time : day 40, morning

summary : naomi completes her challenge by getting angel to spoon her and josh hates it

featuring :  angel / @dobits + josh / @graftisms

naomi: on the surface it seems like a simple enough task, but it's not like you go up to some guy who's not your boyfriend like, 'oh my god, please, spoon me, i'm desperate.' it's actually so silly, and naomi feels like she's got her work cut out for her even when she talks to callie about it – obviously giving her a heads up. she takes the opportunity when angel's alone on the daybeds, curling up close next to him. "hey," she greets, voice and demeanor all soft, though kind of a hard sell to seem like a girl in need of some comfort after the night she had. "i'm sick of this, both of us being, like, wifed up and busy. you gotta make more time for me," she says.

angel: “sup, babes,” angel says. then, tongue firmly in his cheek, “i mean, mrs. josh.” mostly ‘cause he has no idea what the dude’s last name is. in any case, he reaches over to teasingly pinch her cheek. at least she can admit to being wifey, angel smiles at their paralleled domestication. “i’m a househusband, actually. different vibe.” he’d been stretched out on his back, arm tucked back behind his head, but rolls to his side to give naomi his full humored attention. “m’kay, gimme the gossip then. what’s been goin’ on with you?”

naomi: "yeah, yeah," she rolls her eyes, a smile playing at her lips, "whatever, mr. callie." maybe they're not as official in nomenclature but they may as well be, really, and she'd fight him on that. teeth snap at angel's fingertips as he reaches over to pinch her, trying to bite back. "yeah, what's the distinction then?" she asks him, moving in close so their bodies are touching, her head resting in the crook of his arm. "please, everybody in the villa knows what's up with me. though, wait, actually -" god, she actually has such a story to tell him about a missing vibrator, but it's so not a spooning vibe. she needs to temper the mood down or she's gonna have him giggling instead, calling callie back over to conspire or something. she takes a breath, "if i ask you something, you'll give it to me straight?"

angel: “the distinction is that i’m a big, manly husband, obviously,” he says like duh. like it wasn’t just yesterday he was proclaiming himself jude’s wifey. well, naomi’s right about that, it’s hard to miss updates about her when josh is literally shouting them from the rooftop. he interjects playfully in her pause, “what? is it true you were dressed up in a canadian flag when you asked him to be your boyfriend?” words travel in the villa, for sure, but not before getting goofily jumbled. plus, angel just likes to tease her. he turns more serious at her question though, brows popping up on his forehead as he nods earnestly. “yeah, of course. what’s up?”

naomi: "right, so that means you . . . mow the lawn, love to grill, listen to weezer?" she asks, nose crinkling. the suggestion that she'd be dressed up in the canadian flag to dtr sounds like something out of jay and silent bob go canadian, eh? (real film) so she's got to roll her eyes, but truthfully, angel's not even that far off. but all the cringe was kind of worth it for the look on josh's face. "mmh, yeah," she nods, playful smirk tugging at her lips, "and i was covered in maple syrup, too." endeared by the earnest shift in angel's demeanor, she smiles slightly. her comfort around him isn't a charade, though she's subtle about the way she turns her weight, glancing over her shoulder at him. at what point does it start to count as a full spoon? "do i look a total fucking mess right now? rate these eyebags."

angel: “mhm, m— weezer?” nose scrunches in a mimic of her’s. “iron maiden, baby. does your old man listen to weezer?” that would be hilarious, especially considering who her dad is (whose identity he’s learned since casa). there’s a distinct sweetness to her smile, probably not even related to the supposed syrup. he’s surprised she doesn’t argue that he was the one to ask her to be official, obviously. something cute about that, too. “awww,” angel squeezes her upper arm, shaking her a bit, before he lets it lay awkwardly between their bodies. he snorts some at her question, his arm still a barrier between them as he tries to lean over her shoulder to be able to get a look. “naomi — jesus, i can barely even see you.” it’s not as if they both aren’t touchy feely people, he’s not really thinking twice about it except that maybe she is trying to hide something with her back to him. he’s chuckling patiently. “the hell are you doing? swear, i’m getting flash backs to when we shared a bed.” with her pointing the opposite way and angel probably taking up too much room, except now there’s proximity. “of course you don’t have eyebags.”

naomi: "well, no. but he doesn't mow the lawn or like to grill either," she adds. she's basing this off daytime comedies. "he likes italian operas. you can have that one for free, in case they have another islander trivia night," she adds with a wry smile, the first indication that she might be slightly bitter about the last one. "shut the fuck up," naomi says, though he's barely said anything, his perception of her and the possibly adorable nature of her current relationship status makes her blush. "nuh-uh, if you were getting flashbacks, you'd be starfishing right now," king of taking up space. "i'm just actually so exhausted, i feel like it shows," she sighs, shifting her weight back against him, hoping she sounds pathetic enough to be taken seriously for the allotted time before she can pop up with a surprising amount of energy. "can you just hold me for a sec?"

angel: “oh, right, yeah. who doesn’t get down with an italian opera?” chock full of sarcasm. “man, really hoping we don’t. think we all know each other a little too well now.” at least they can rest easy knowing there won’t be another movie night, though, with that consideration, angel’s a little wary what people might do with that knowledge. “hey, i gave you plenty of room. you only take up, like, this much space anyway,” he argues, fingers pinching a teeny bit of air. it’s a far cry from sleeping with callie, both of them tangled up in each other. angel frowns a bit, is about to offer to give her space to sleep when she poses her question. “oh —,” he naturally gives pause to the newness of this kinda favor coming from naomi. but far be it from angel not to cuddle. “yeah,” he says softer, vaguely confused, like when he’s trying to figure out what one of his little cousins are wanting from him. in any case, he throws an arm over naomi and scoops her into his chest, his head still inclined up a bit so he can see just the edge of her profile. “everything’s good, right?”

naomi: "i only took up that much space because you were taking up the rest," she retorts, flicking at his pinched fingers. honestly, it's a funny comparison that in casa, naomi flirted with angel on the first day and callie compared angel to her brother. now, angel feels like family to naomi and callie's railing him in the hideaway. his reaction to her request is so endearing, unexpected, especially because she would've never asked something like this of him – to be held – without prompting from producers. she feels so when he wraps his arms around her without question, almost feeling guilty that she'd pictured it like a challenge. "yeah," she nods, "everything's good, i swear." she makes eye contact with adela as she walks by and flashes her a grin and a tiny thumbs-up close to her chest, like, victory, bitch. "you can go now, if you want, i'm like, two seconds from crashing."

josh: he's walking by, minding his own business, used to the tangle of limbs that usually decorate the daybeds. but it's the sight of naomi's face that makes him do a double take, pressed against—fuck, what's that guy's name again? jenny's back-up guard dog, if last night was any indication of it. he doesn't mean to interrupt them, but by the time he recognizes what's going on he's stopped in front of the bed, eyes narrowed despite trying to not completely lose his cool. is this what having a girlfriend means, that she can press her ass against any other guy and it be okay? it doesn't help that he catches the tail end of the grin meant for adela, assuming it's because of angel. "what's so funny?" he asks, with only a little snark. he's trying to check himself, fully aware of how much of a mug he looks like right now, towering over them. "oh sorry, am i interrupting something? i can go." doesn't this guy have a girlfriend? ffs.

angel: it seems like naomi’s halfway to lullaby lane by the way she keeps her back to him, so he’s keen to give her the space she asks for. naturally, it’s then that josh throws a snarky (but only a little) shadow over them. angel’s aware of how it might look, he’s also aware that josh might still be bent out of shape by the presumably un-fun night he promoted for himself, so angel’s willing not to make matters worse. “no, no,” he tells josh as he carefully snakes his arm out from under naomi’s head before leaning over to smack a kiss against her cheek. “don’t throw me in a locker, i’m goin’, swear,” angel tries to show him a smile to imply his joke as he lifts himself off the daybed, then amiably taps josh’s arm. “she was just saying she was, like, mad tired. you two kids feel better, ‘kay?”

naomi: she has to fight the urge to literally facepalm when she hears josh's voice. she thought she'd been more tactical – trying to be quick about this while josh was inside somewhere so she could just regale him with the funny story about it later. maybe on the dance floor at tonight's party. "seriously, don't go," naomi's lips turn downward into a pout as she sits up a little on the daybed, positioning her arms so they push her chest up – like maybe he'll forget to be pissed (or at least he might forget to bother with angel) if she uses the right distraction. she reaches her hand out, beckoning him closer, "c'mere."

josh: "who, me?" a hand reaches out like he's gonna grab her, until it dramatically splays across his chest instead. his head makes a show of moving around, watching angel walk away (completely ignoring him as he got up) and looking around to see if there's anyone else nearby. "i thought you wanted him not to leave," he nods in angel's direction, voice a little too breezy. "it's okay, i can get someone else for you. dylan's gotta be around here somewhere."

naomi: jaw drops comically when he fakes her out, a scoff of disbelief on her lips as she tries to keep from grinning at him. naomi can't help but be amused by the dramatics, because from her vantage point, it's all so silly.  "oh my god, i literally just told him to go," she says, getting up on her knees so that she has the vantage point to try and reach for his hand again, to try and reel him back toward her. "don't be a prick," she's choosing not to play into the low blow any further than that considering the circumstances, "you might as well stick around because i'm not gonna let you go anywhere." she ducks her head slightly to hold his gaze, wishing there was a chill way to tell him to just trust her. "please," is her best attempt, a word she doesn't use too often. "stay."

josh: damnit, why is she smiling? now he wants to smile, momentarily forgetting the whole point of being mad at her for being pressed against some other dude, especially when she's looking up at him like that. stifling an exasperated groan in the back of his throat, he comes a little closer until his knees are nearly against the daybed, reaching down to hook two fingers to the bottom of her chin, drawing her a little closer. when she's looking at him like this, on her knees, it does help his mood. "you're not gonna let me go anywhere?" he scoffs, not sure if he should be entertained or annoyed. he's mostly the latter, but her shamelessness in this moment makes him feel like he's missing something. "you gonna tell me what the hell that was about?" his voice drops a little, not trying to make a scene of the scene he already caused.

naomi: "nope, no bailing now," she says this matter-of-factly, arms snaking around his waist as she rests her chin on his chest. there's still that smile tugging at the corners of her lips, especially as she watches him fight to keep his annoyed resolve. her gaze darkens a little as she looks up at him through her lashes, honestly a bit turned on that he's gotten all bothered about this – she wouldn't like the alternative. "josh," his name comes out like a sigh, though it's a little bit of a placeholder to give her an extra second to gather her words. "we were just laying out and talking, and i started falling asleep. like, it was a late night. i barely realized," she explains, as if she didn't specifically ask angel to hold her. but hey, she's already lying, so might as well. as hot as the edge to his voice is, she doesn't want him pissy at her all day over a stupid challenge. "i'm sorry, i totally wasn't thinking."

josh: josh sees through the puppy dog eyes, he really does. he can only assume that she's laying her charm on thick because she knows he's in the right and doesn't want to admit it. he just wishes that her look wasn't so effective on him, having to glance away to keep any semblance of cool, even if his hand reaches down to run his fingers through her hair—not particularly lightly. jaw tightens slightly at her comment, because it's not like he enjoys hearing that she was sleeping with some other dude, even if it was platonically (or he can only hope it was).  "he was putting you to sleep, then?" josh snorts (derogatory), finally looking back down at her. his hands move to grip the side of her face, two fingers pinching her cheek. "i'm also tired, you know," he says, voice low, "because someone kept me up all night. maybe i should go nap... you think adela's available for a spoon?"

naomi: a low, frustrated moan builds from the back of her throat as he tugs at her hair, surprising even herself with the sound – she didn't expect him to be so rough with her. maybe that's why she expected him to say something more possessive, rather than bringing up another girl. there's hurt that briefly flashes through her eyes before they fill with fire, aware that dare or not, she wouldn't have intended to hurt him. "angel and i are friends. he's just someone i'm comfortable around – it's platonic," she clarifies, because she hadn't really thought that she needed to until now. she doesn't make jokes about fucking him. "is that really what you want to do? you wanna go?" she hopes to call his bluff, her hand reaching up toward her face to touch his. "because i can find someone else to put their hands on me, but if you just don't want anyone else to touch, then say that," her voice is low, more honeyed than it is aggressive though it's not without a certain edge. naomi's gaze meets his as she guides his hand lower so that he can feel her pulse, the rise and fall of her chest – and then she reels back slowly, falling back onto the mattress so she's just propped up by her elbows, looking up at him with dark eyes. "so, which is it?"

josh: "adela and i are friends, too," he counters, "platonic." does platonic count if you wanted to fuck them at one point? it doesn't really matter, because josh thinks he can tell from the look in naomi's eyes that he had made his point. or maybe it's just because he doesn't actually want to go right now, the air between them crackling with intensity—the sexy kind. josh's eyes darken as he looks down at her, holding himself back from touching her exactly how he wants to right now, because of the vague recollection that they're in public. but it's hard for him not to want to react physically when she talks about other people touching her, even if josh knows she doesn't actually mean it. he can feel the rise and fall of her chest beneath the palm of his hand, his own breathing beginning to match hers, even their heartbeats feeling in sync. sometimes it feels like they know each other so well, josh can anticipate her moves; so when she abruptly pulls away to make her point, it doesn't even surprise him. her elbows have only touched the mattress for a beat before he's grabbing her by the ankle and pulling her towards the edge of the bed he's still standing in front of, so when he finally kneels onto it her body's pinned between him, and he's towering over her. "i wasn't aware i needed to clarify that, as your boyfriend." the word feels pointed, but it's only because josh is still trying it on for size. it fits like a new sweater, needing a few more cycles in the wash before it fits snug. "but fine," hands find hers to pin them against the mattress, fingers interlocking with her own, "i don't want anyone else to put their hands on you. least of all some fucking guy." sorry to angel, but he's just some dude. the bottom half of him leans down so their hips are pressed together, and josh gives her a serious look. "okay?"

naomi: god, she's going to owe angel such a massive apology later. if he'll even hear her out, that is, considering he's just been upgraded (or downgraded?) from mere challenge target to foreplay. she's got twice as much to talk to him about now. still, it's hard not to feel like she's won when josh's eyes go dark and he doesn't pull his hand away from her. naomi's usually turned on when josh is pissed, but usually she's pissed too and trying to hold back. this is kind of fun, feels like a new range of territory for them, and her eyes are charting out all of his mannerisms in a new light, the way his jaw tightens, raising the vein in his neck. there's a gasp from her lips that dissolves into surprised laughter as josh tugs her across the mattress, and she's equal parts turned on and amused by josh's macho display of bravado an utter seriousness over the whole situation – one that she has the perspective of knowing that there's absolutely nothing for him to worry about. she's so aware that he's absolutely going to kick himself over this later. naomi's quiet again as he leans closer, gaze flickering between his eyes and his mouth, not sure where to look as he pins her hands above her head. naomi's tongue swipes across her lips to wet them as she nods, wishing that she could lean up to kiss him in this moment, but she doesn't have the range of motion while she's pinned underneath him. her only weapon is her ability to carve her hips into his, which she does, slow and teasing. "okay, baby," her tone is placating, but a little breathless, "you're the only one." she has no idea if the rest of the villa can see them, but she does have the teeniest bit of self-awareness, and interest in more privacy. "now," her tone is measured, wrists tugging lightly to test his grip, "will you take me inside and prove it?"

josh: they go inside and bang.

I'm tired of People Magazine shilling for celebrities. There was a time when they actually reported the unsavory news, and weren't kissing up to celebrities. Now they shill for anyone and everything.

Josh Duhamel has article on their site where he mentions meeting his now wife. He slid into her DMs when she was in her mid 20s 👀, didn't think they would get serious given the age difference, and 5 years later they're married expecting a child. She is now 29 to his 50. She was a former pageant winner.

They did the same thing a few weeks ago for Liev Schreiber and his now wife who is 24 years younger. When they first started dating, Liev claimed she just the nanny. She is another former pageant winner turned yoga instructor.

It should be noted all of these guys were married or in long-term relationships with women in their age bracket before becoming cliche'.

Another thing, I don't think Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher got enough criticism for their actions. The hostage apology video is just icing on the cake.

The Sophia Turner and Joe Jonas divorce PR battle is fascinating. Joe really thought he could throw Sophia under the bus, and the GP would buy it?

Wait....

Are you telling me Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts busted up because he fucked the nanny???!!!????? I did not know this!

JOSH & MALI, DAY 29. 

with @graftisms !

mali wattapohn.

"please tell me you're not kissing anyone right now." she has a hand over her eyes, mostly teasing — she kind was the main instigator in all that, but whatever. details. "i have a drink, no strings, if you'll keep me company for a few." 

josh vargas.

"do i look like i'm kissing anyone?" he scoffs, taking a swig of the terrible drink he made himself, too stubborn to throw it out. "last i saw, you were kissing dylan... or was it frankie? is this you promising that you'll keep that," he motions to her face, "to yourself?"

mali wattapohn.

"don't know, got my eyes covered," she returns, peeking before lowering her hand, offering one of the drinks — probably some fancy old person shit again — as she moved to sit on a chair adjacent to his. "i'll keep it to myself, i swear it," she agrees, laughing a little. "what's with the attitude? i thought i was meant to graft."

josh vargas.

he finds it funny that she sits across from him instead of next to him, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise. "i'm not giving any attitude," he laughs, taking the drink from her with a grateful nod. "i'm not meaning to, at least. just not very fun watching everyone make out with each other from the benches." it makes him wonder who in the other villa is in his position, sitting at the sidelines being equally bored. he wants to think it's naomi, but he doesn't believe she'd ever be anywhere less than the center of attention. "you like dylan?" he asks in passing, taking a sip of his drink. let the record show it's the first time he hasn't called dylan 'kangaroo boy' in weeks. 

mali wattapohn.

"sure you aren't," she teases, leaning back into her own chair. "so that wasn't judgment at my choice in kisses i heard?" if it had been maddox, she's not sure she would've gotten the same reaction, because he had literally told her to go after maddox. "you could've joined." she knows he couldn't, but the sentiment is mostly meaningless, anyways, a knowing smile tugging at her lips. their lips purse at the question, trying to think of how to answer it. "not as much as phoebe does," she says, in lieu of answering it, smiling in spite of it. "he surprised me, though, that's for sure." 

josh vargas.

"you can do what you want," he leans back too, resting his weight on his hands. eyebrows arch as if to say really?, knowing he doesn't need to say it aloud. they both know he wasn't going to join—and not just because dylan and frankie are both not his type. "yeah, he surprises me too," josh nods a bit, and for once it's not meant as a dig. one thing he hadn't expected out of casa was to (gag) like dylan. "are you gonna go for it, or do you like phoebe too much?" he has to imagine that if she liked phoebe too much, she wouldn't have kissed dylan in the first place.

mali wattapohn.

“with maddox,” she points out, rolling her eyes a little. something about having permission makes her want that a little less, honestly. but she’s distracted again with the talk of dylan, nodding slowly. “i think there’s a lot more to him than he’s shown.” it’s just an observation, but she does think it’s true. she sucks in her cheeks, frowning. “no, probably not,” she admits, chewing at her lower lip. “i don’t know. i’ll feel it out, maybe, but i don’t want to hurt her,” they give a shrug, worried that that will come back to bite her if they let it. “she’s been too nice to me to just…steal him away.” she gives him a wry smile, given that’s virtually what she had been trying to do to him. “it doesn’t feel right.”

josh vargas.

"or whoever," he laughs, wondering if him mentioning maddox earlier today had been a bad move. it's not like everybody doesn't know where he stands with the guy. "if you wanna go for bash, i'm not stopping you. he could probably use it." because josh doesn't particularly think rhys is being loyal back home, nor should he. "like what?" josh can't help but scoff. what, dylan is nice and deep? what isn't he? eyeing mali curiously, josh finds it hard to believe a girl like her cares so much for the feelings of another girl she only met two days ago, but if mali is being insincere, he can't tell. "i think he likes her," josh pipes up, not sure how much help he can be, "but naomi's got him by the balls, even here. if she wants to steal him, she can't move at glacial pace. even if he's making excuses to kiss you all." he can't blame dylan.

mali wattapohn.

“if you say so.” she’s mostly teasing, to no end. she did mean it when she said she’d keep it to herself, but she’s not going to not flirt either. “who brought up bash? if you just want me back in the villa, you can say that, darling.” though part of her does wonder if he knows something she doesn’t about bash, giving him a slightly quizzical look that’s sure to be misread. “he’s a better chat than i expected. i tried to see if he was really so serious, and he didn’t bite at all, without it being a Thing.” maybe it’s a little petty to bring that up, when josh himself had — it’s not her intention to make him compare the two, when they’re not trying to. “and he’s taller in person,” her eyes roll, laughing at herself. “i hope she knows that,” she says sincerely, biting her lip, sure she’ll tell her that later. “but i think he does, too, even if he’s not looking to admit it.” there’s so much for josh to read into here if you want holy fuck. “who knows, though? it’s only day 2.”

josh vargas.

"who brought up maddox?" he echoes her words, giving her a look. josh doesn't want her back in the villa--not because he doesn't like her, but it'd be hard to get naomi to move past his actions with mali in casa if she's physically there. but josh is also bored of being the casa bystander, impossible not to give his two cents about any of his fellow islanders being grafted. "who, dylan?" he's not sure if she's talking about dylan or bash, but knowing his luck, probably dylan. "serious about what? what did you say to him?" he wonders just how many people have brought up josh and naomi to dylan. no wonder he basically laughed in josh's face yesterday. "i'm taller," josh feels the need to point out. "are you a good enough friend to help her out? you seem much better at getting what you want then she is," josh casts her a look.

mali wattapohn.

“you, about six hours ago,” their fingers points at him in accusation, jesting. she doubts he’d actually see her back, anyways. maybe she can burn some bridges on her way out, though. “yes, dylan,” she gives him a look, like keep up. “serious about naomi. i’m sure everyone else is calling him a mug, but i don’t know.” it’s not her style. “maybe he just likes the girl. he certainly didn’t fall for my little damsel in distress act.” their eyes roll. even if he was being flirtier today, she’s not convinced he’ll bring anyone back — probably to his detriment. “and unavailable,” she lobbies back, giggling at the apparent need to compare himself even then. “oh, i’m a pro,” she boasts, giving him a tiny smile. “i’ve given her some tips. and if she’s asks, i’ll help, yeah.”

josh vargas.

"only because you said you wanted to get to know him. i'm not conjuring maddox's name out of thin air." it's not like he's trying to get the dude laid, not that maddox needs the help. "he is serious about naomi," his eyes roll, "or was, i guess. i don't think he knows how to not be serious with someone. it's obvious he likes her." it feels so grade school talking like that, but mali clearly hasn't met naomi herself, doesn't know just how easy it is to get ensnared in her charm. like a siren leading sailers to their death. "but they were together, like, three days. i want to see him move on." the words slip out before he can help it, although josh doubts maki will be surprised to hear it. eyes roll when she calls him unavailable, laughing once. "glad to hear you're using your powers for good instead of evil," he teases, flashing her a smile. "maybe i'm biased, but you're definitely the best bombshell here."

mali wattapohn.

“uh huh. say what you will, i think you actually like the bloke.” her eyes are twinkling with delight at the back and forth. if they can get a rise out of him, they will. “obviously,” she shakes her head a little. men. “but what i wanted to know is if he just thought he was, or if he actually is. there’s a difference, you know.” maybe she shouldn’t be spelling this out to someone she doubts is actually serious, honestly. “how long were they chatting before it was official, though?” she asks innocently, her eyebrows raising. she truly doesn’t remember, but she wonders if he recognizes the irony in having faith she didn’t do the same to him that she did to dylan. they can’t help the surge of pleasure that swells in her chest at the approval, a laugh bubbling out of her. “mixed signals,” she teases him, trying and failing to frown disapprovingly. she knows he doesn’t mean it like that, to be clear, but still. it’s nice to be liked. “it’s all about balance. a little bit of evil, then a little bit of nice. keep karma at bay.”

josh vargas.

he tries to give mali a serious look, but it's hard to not smile at her, so instead he flips her off. "you wanted to know what?" he's not following. definitely doesn't want to talk about naomi and dylan's early stages when josh was still in the picture, lips flatlining. "how should i know?" it's her laughter that warms his frostiness up, shaking his head. "it's just a compliment, jeez," he teases, even though he can hear how it might sound. "it's too bad you're a bombshell for casa," he shakes his head, eyes lingering on her, "i feel like you guys got the shit end of the stick. you'd have much more fun with the whole group."

mali wattapohn.

her laughter is almost a cackle, bordering on unladylike at being flipped off. "sometimes you can think you really mean something, but when another option presents itself...it turns out you didn't. he passed, by the way." it's added offhand. she's not sure he'll continue to, given he called his situation complicated. her eyebrows lift a little at his tone, chewing on her lower lip. "you should ask." it's advice she really doesn't want to give, since it's sort of implying he won't actually bring anyone back, but it stands. "oy, don't give me any of that. you sound like a funeral director, i'm not dead." their laughter is a little indignant, but they get it, too. the sentiment is nice. "i might get to meet everyone yet. maybe i'll steal your girl this time."

josh vargas.

her laugh makes him laugh too, not sure if he ever heard such a wild noise come out of her. "so what's the verdict, then? you think he's gonna go crawling back to her?" josh is feigning disinterest as much as possible, but mali might know more about dylan's motives than josh right now. he'd like to think dylan has enough self-respect than to go back for naomi--he's banking on it, actually--but josh really doesn't know. "yeah, no thanks." he's not looking to get wrapped up in the past of naomi and dylan's relationship, instead trying to focus on what's ahead, and whether that means him and naomi or not. "i'm not ruling it out," he smirks a little, assuming that maddox will probably bring mali back, mostly because it's exactly what josh would do if he didn't have anyone else to think about. her talking about stealing naomi makes him snort. "get in line."

mali wattapohn.

“i don’t know, truly. he called it complicated.” she sees no reason not to give him that kind of information, honestly. she doubt it’ll impact her. “i think it would be short sighted to trust her.” they do their best not to make that sound pointed. it’s not in either of their best interests, as far as she’s concerned. “suit yourself,” she shrugs, pausing as if holding back a little. “i would want to know if i were you, i suppose.” they laugh, tossing her hair over her shoulder with some pride. she doesn’t think she will, but she can never be sure. “lines are not made for pretty girls,” she teases, a smirk appearing. “you think i couldn’t?”

josh vargas.

"well that's an understatement." he wonders if talking about the naomi/dylan/him love triangle thing with mali is the best use of his time, if she's somehow going to use all this information against him. but at this point, he can't imagine it'll get more complicated than it is now, and it's not like he's saying anything to her that he wouldn't say to dylan. "i don't trust her," he admits, "but i know she doesn't trust me either, which was the whole problem in our relationship. someone's going to have to give if anything is going to come from it, so... i'm trying to make it be me," he shrugs, a little sheepish. "but if it blows up in my face, at least plenty of people will get to say they told me so. why, is it just gonna piss me of?" she's starting to sound like she knows more than she lets on. "i didn't say that," josh lets out a laugh. "you might be too similar for her taste, though."

mali wattapohn.

she gives a hum, thoughtful. surprisingly mature coming from someone who literally just slept with a person he's not interested in starting anything with only yesterday. "probably a good start. even if you do end up looking stupid," she agrees, her eyebrows still raised though. "it might a little. i don't think what they've shown was all that bad, but i know i wouldn't be pleased." flirting is harmless when she does it, but if it's their partner, that's another story. the double standard runs deep. "are we much alike?" it's a little surprising to hear — naomi always seems more fiery than mali feels they are on screen. "i didn't get that impression."

josh vargas.

he knows the risk of looking stupid is great, especially if naomi wants nothing to do with him after sleeping with mali. but maybe it's being in casa, but josh is beginning to grow a little tired of the show. if he wanted to keep things going here, it'd be easier to bring mali or layla or anyone back and try for something real—but right now naomi is a giant question mark that he's not looking to leave untouched. even if it doesn't end well, he doesn't want to come out of this with any regrets. "are you talking about just flirting, or... did something happen?" he hesitates, not sure what she's getting at. "a little bit," he nods. "you remind me of her when we first got together. flirty, a little high maintenance, but a good time." naomi without all the drama that's come after them since then, or the crazy arguments. "obviously you're not the same person. you don't have a celebrity parent, do you?" he smirks a little.

mali wattapohn.

"um," she gives a small exhale through her nose, looking skyward as she works out the timeline mentally, doing the math on when they had officially split after the jenny ordeal. "flirting is probably the best way to frame it," she says slowly, trying to recall if there was anything more — other than their little kitchen ordeal, she didn't think anything was too incriminating, but had it been her on the other side of that? "i've probably spoken well out of turn now, you know," she points out to him, licking her lips for something to do. "i am not high maintenance, thank you very much," she reaches over to smack his knee lightly, rolling her eyes. "well," she jokes, smiling a little. "probably not in the same way. my parents are quite private."

josh vargas.

he nods mutely, not really surprised by what she says. "you're fine," josh shakes his head, offering her a small smile. he doesn't actually know is she's saying this for his sake or hers, but naomi and dylan flirting while they were together doesn't mean much to him. naomi flirts with basically everyone. "okay," his laugh is sarcastic, eyes rolling lightly as well. "that definitely sounds like they're famous." god, he should've known, huh? maybe he just attracts these girls. "what do they do?" eyes flicker to meet hers, hoping she knows that she doesn't have to answer the question if it's too much.

mali wattapohn.

"i know that." they're not really concerned with saying too much, more so just not overstepping. "i just think you should know your behavior was only a little worse than hers, from where i stood." and, really, the longer she speaks to him, the more sure they are that he really doesn't always think with his brain. "not the kind of famous you would know," she returns, laughing in spite of herself. "my dad's got a hand in a tech company, and my mum is very philanthropic." the way she says it is only slightly sarcastic, a roll of her eyes. "it is less fame, honestly, they just...have a presence, i guess?"

josh vargas.

that is something he hasn't heard yet, someone not blaming everything on him. it takes him aback, blinking in surprise before his lips fall into a smile. "wow, that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me," he jokes, hazel eyes soft. it does mean a lot to him, more than he cares to admit. he needed to hear that, even if she's just trying to inflate his ego. it's working. "oh, so they're rich," josh laughs, flashing her a grin. "you're rich. that makes so much sense now." he's teasing, of course, foot reaching out to nudge her lightly. "i should've known when you said singapore."

mali wattapohn.

her lips curve in a teasing smile, rolling her eyes. "your standards are in hell, then," she quips, meeting his look with a small press of her lips, feeling a little discomfort from it. "besides, is it nice if it's true?" her laughter is a little more sheepish at that, a finger going to their hair to give them something to do, absently. "you should've known. all the clues were there, i even told you where i spent my holidays." singapore is kind of a dead give away if you're looking for rich and bored on a reality show. "is it too cliche to say we're comfortable?" she winces a little, joking, giving him a grin anyways.

josh vargas.

"don't i know it," he snorts. they seem to get lower as the days go by here. if josh makes it to the end, he better hope that he actually has a relationship, because nobody is gonna want to touch him with a ten foot pole. "yeah, it is," he laughs, shaking his head. "you don't get it. i have marcus shitting on me because he doesn't get why i'd be annoyed that he didn't warn me that he kissed naomi, when we were together three fucking weeks. all because people act like what i did with jenny was some unspeakable act." it really upsets him, actually, because kiss aside, josh had really tried to make things right with both girls. "oh, i figured," he grins at her, "but i wasn't gonna call you out. but them being known? you're rich rich," he teases. "don't give me that, i use that line and we're, like, middle class." upper middle class. "would i know the tech company, or is it an asia thing?"

mali wattapohn.

“so raise them.” she nudges his leg with their foot, gently, even if their tone is exasperated. “the bathroom thing was a little messed up,” she allows, tilting her head a little. “but you tried to tell her your head wasn’t in it, while naomi is having almost kisses with dylan in the kitchen?” their delicate shoulders lift and fall, not really seeing the why behind the naomi dedication (yet). “i don’t know that it’s fair to make you into some kind of devil for that, in truth.” it was so sticky, but it was clear the edit was trying to make him look like the villain, and she never got why. maybe they just like villains, though. “it’s my parents money?” she tries instead, laughing. “only middle class?” she acts a little scandalized, hand going to her mouth with wide eyes. “what will the papers say.” she hesitates only for a moment, before answering. “i think mostly an asia thing. do you know paralus?” it’s made up but like on par w accenture.

josh vargas.

"what, you want me to never date again?" as if dating after the show isn't going to be hard enough for him. hookups, on the other hand... he's hoping that gets better. not that he had any trouble in the first place. "what do you mean, almost kisses?" THAT gets his attention, fully looking at mali now. any amusement from the playful conversation has stalled in his eyes. josh knows he shouldn't care about what happened in the past, that it's pointless if dylan is going to hopefully move on anyway—but it does hurt to hear, especially when everyone has been acting like he's the bad guy in their breakup. "suddenly you having your own business makes sense," he smirks a bit. "upper middle class, i guess? i don't know. we're comfortable," he echoes her words slyly. josh had been hoping to recognize the name, but he shakes his head.

mali wattapohn.

"oh, please, like you'll have trouble with that," she scoffs, pointedly looking him over. there's no way a guy who looks like him is going to have a shortage of girls after him, mid sized dick comments and all. the look he gives her is more serious, less amused by her opinions and she does pause for a moment, her lips parting and closing once more as she realizes no one's said anything to him. "after mimi left, i believe? maybe a little before. they had a little...moment," she explains, slowly, her own smile fading. "they did not mention it?" maybe it was just production playing things up for the viewers, though. "i work very hard, thank you," comes the quick answer, but she's laughing through it. "i am very lucky to have good connections," she concedes, not wanting to be one of those nepo babies. "oh, so you're rich, then." she gives him a teasing smile. "i think only those tech bro types would." (edited)

josh vargas.

"you think?" he grins, another stroke of his ego that she has no problem assisting with. "i feel like the girls are either gonna love me or hate me when i get out of here. be honest—has twitter been ripping me to shreds?" as if he doesn't already know the answer to that. her vagueness isn't helping his annoyance, not directed at her, but at the situation in general. hearing 'they did not mention it?' about anything naomi and dylan related feels like a preemptive slap in the face. josh may have been the dick that kissed jenny while they were together, but at least he was honest about it. "what kind of moment?" he pushes. "did they kiss?" if they did, he swears to god... this is exactly the lack of trust him and mali were just talking about. "that's what all nepo babies say," josh snorts, managing a small smile on his lips. "definitely not rich. at least, not by tech companies and actor dad standards."

mali wattapohn.

"you have a very healthy base of stans, i think they're called." it's a direct dodge to the question because, yeah, a little, but he does have apologists (mel, the rare kel). "i think you are the mums' favorite," she adds helpfully. part of her nearly backpedals, shaking her head quickly at the question. "no, no. just an almost kiss, like i said." a tiny sigh, before continuing, "they were playing around in the kitchen and got quite close to it, though. very close." since she assumes he'll ask. "yes, well. i'm a stereotype, i suppose." a sunny smile, despite his teasing. "is her dad an actor? god, so she's a nepo baby, too. no wonder you compared us."

josh vargas.

"stans?" he laughs, having never heard that phrase before. clearly he's not on tumblr. "is that a good or bad thing?" the mention of moms liking him makes him cringe, thinking about his other mother no doubt watching the show religiously, along with the rest of the family. "because i'm so sweet?" the sarcasm is thick in his voice, flashing her a smirk. part of josh wishes that it had been more than an almost kiss, so he could be validated for feeling as annoyed as he does—but maybe he's also just looking for a reason to fall off the naomi train. it doesn't help when there's pretty girls in every corner of casa flashing him a charming smile and not-completely-innocent eyes. "yeah, he is," josh nods a bit, before grimacing. "sorry, i don't mean to keep bringing her up. thanks for telling me, though. and for what it's worth, you guys aren't that similar. i don't want you thinking that's the only reason why i like you."

mali wattapohn.

"it's some term for fans, i'm not too sure," she giggles along, especially when he cringes and gives her a sarcastic answer. "do you want an honest answer or do you want me to agree?" it's teasing. she's sure he knows why. "it's more likely because you're fit, honestly. they love eye candy." they give a little headshake at his apology, not too bothered. honestly, they're kind of curious about the other girl, given how dedicated she had two separate men, at least at the start of yesterday. "it's alright. i wasn't sure if you'd want to know, honestly, but i would." and there's no chance she'd handle it as well as he is, frankly. "so you do like me," there's amusement in her eyes, a triumphant smile, even though she's sure he'll backpedal that and claim platonically or whatever — he's already said she's his favorite bombshell, afterall. but they can't help but tease. "i'm not too concerned about her, hon. you can tell me the other reasons, though," they toss their head, her ego peering out. "flatter me, i won't let it get to my head."

josh vargas.

"i want you to be honest, always," he says, flashing her a grin, "—as long as it's about me being eye candy, obviously." the last part is said in jest, but not without his own little chuckle. "nah, that tracks. i've been hit on before by friend's moms before. they love me, what can i say? it's the dimples." he pokes his own dimple on his right cheek, flexing it in the process. "no, i'm glad you told me. if there's anything else you think i should know, with her or whatever else, i'm here to listen." it's not like josh isn't tempted to know every single thing that's made it in the edit that he has no idea about. it's hard to keep a secret in the villa, but clearly some people have. "you know i like you," he laughs, eyes watching her closely. josh is glad they're sitting far enough away from each other; if they weren't, he would've tried to make some excuse to touch her, which would ruin the whole no mixed signals thing he's trying to let go on. which speaking of— "sounds like you're asking for me to give you mixed signals," he smirks, throwing her own words back at her. if he was smart, he'd make an excuse to get up and walk away.

mali wattapohn.

"as if you don't know that already," her eyes roll, still a little charmed by it anyways, in spite of herself. the mom knowledge doesn't surprise her at all, but she's still got a slightly impressed smile on her phase. "the dimples, the boyish charm," she teases. "were they good looking at least?" it's a little weird to be hit on by parents of your friends, but she's still curious. sue her. "yeah? i'm glad. i don't like to speak out of turn," not true, she loves giving her opinion at all times, "but in case it lends some clarity." they aren't sure he feels guilty about jenny, exactly, but maybe it'll lessen that. "i don't know, it's so difficult to read you sometimes." they have to bite back a joke about knowing well and good how much he likes her, pressing her lips together into a sarcastic smile instead, breathing out a laugh over her own words being tossed back. "what if i promise to take it strictly in a friendly sense?" the wide eyed look she gives him is really anything but, though it could pass as simply earnest if you don't look too hard. "or, better yet, i'll forget you say anything after."

josh vargas.

"some of them are," he laughs, hoping this isn't something they air on television. he doubts his own mother would get a kick out of the story. josh gives her a look that says he doesn't believe her in the slightest. "sure you don't," he snorts. "but it's fine, you could never speak out of turn." not with with him, at least. "i'm difficult to reason, seriously?" it's hard not to sound surprised at that, even though jenny had pretty much told him the same thing once upon a time ago. in a way, the two of them had been in a similar position that him and mali are in now. maybe it only comes out when he's half-assing trying to keep his cool in front of a pretty girl. "don't give me that look," his eyes narrow playfully at her, knowing that the doe eyed thing works too well— you know, on him. his tongue swipes over his bottom lip for a beat, before he shakes his head. "i'm too good with my words. you won't forget it," josh jokes, although some of the flirtatious humor is sucked out of him, this time listening to the warning bells sounding in his head. swallowing down the rest of the drink she made him, he takes a deep breath. "i should go find miles, see if he needs help grafting." it's a piss-poor excuse and they both know it, but he rises to his feet anyway. "you gonna ask maddox to sleep with you tonight?"

mali wattapohn.

"lucky. i wish a hot mum would hit on me." it's clearly a joke, but she also knows her dms after the show would likely be swarmed after that remark, should they air it. her grin widens at the clear disbelief and she nods. "i'll keep that in mind." she doesn't believe him really, but they will consider it if there's more to say. "yes, it must be all the mixed signals and crossed wires," she drawls, drily, to let him know she's only teasing. "i think you've just got a lot going on up there." they gesture to his head. she can kind of sense she pushed a little too far when he finds such an obvious excuse. "he's going to scare her away with his jokes if he's not careful, he'll need the rescue, so..." they trail off, graciously accepting the slight rejection despite the disappointment, giving a broad smile. "another time." she moves her drink to the side, half gone and looks back up with a quirked eyebrow, inquisitive. "probably, unless he's already half in love with layla."

josh vargas.

"do you?" his eyebrows raise, clearly not believing her. yeah, it was a nice ego boost, but there is something to be said about getting hit on your friend's mom... just kidding, josh totally loved it. this might be the first time anyone's ever assumed that josh has too much thoughts going around in his head, but he flashes her a grin anyway, somehow touched. "i think you overestimate me," he admits, although it's nice to know she's thinking about him regardless. there's no doubt in his mind that if naomi didn't exist in the game, he'd be all over mali while here. it's exactly why he's mumbling an excuse now, a small smile gracing his lips when she doesn't call him out on what he's doing. "i doubt it," he snorts, "but layla and i are sharing a bed tonight, so i don't think you have to worry about that. but hey, the couch is open tonight, if you think you'll miss it too much." smirking to himself, josh's mouth opens to add something else—then decides against it, closing shut after a beat. eyes flit over her a little sheepishly, before giving her a nod and turning to walk off. he really ought to get better at staying away from that one.

2019 Hugo Award finalists announced

The 2019 Hugo Award nominees have been announced; the Hugos will be presented this summer at the 2019 World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin, Ireland.

Normally, I find that I've read and reviewed a huge slice of the year's finalists, but this year is different; I've done a lot less reading lately, partly because I wrote two books in 2018 and partly because the new EU Copyright Directive ate my life for about 10 months in the past year.

I was a little sad to be so far behind the curve when I saw the new list, but then I realized that this meant that I had a bunch of really exciting books to add to my to-be-read pile!

One notable inclusion: the Archive of Our Own fanfic archive -- a project of the Organization for Transformative Works (for whose advisory board I volunteer) -- is up for "Best Related Work."

Las películas más esperadas en la cuarentena

Algunos de los estrenos que más ansiamos en este año cargado de  conflictos en el mundo audiovisual.

Rodajes pospuestos, otros cancelados; estrenos que debieron hacer malabares con sus fechas u optar por otra modalidad,  volcándose directamente a los servicios de streaming sin hacerlo antes por las salas.

Pero más allá de las dificultades y cambios radicales en el mundo cinematográfico, los espectadores atraviesan la cuarentena en distintos lugares del mundo esperando con ansias una gran cantidad de películas prometedoras. 

Mientras nos adaptamos a la “nueva normalidad” podemos acercarnos a los trailers de algunos de los filmes más esperados del año. Lo cierto es, que por más que tarde en llegar, e incluso con aquella incertidumbre respecto a las fechas, el hype será el mismo (o aún más!). 

1. TENET 

Christopher Nolan vuelve a la pantalla grande luego de Dunkirk, la gran película bélica llena de características propias del director de la trilogía de Batman, o de los clásicos instantáneos como Interstellar e Inception. La trama de TENET (2020) está más cargada de incógnitas que de respuestas; en palabras de la sinopsis oficial, el film es “Una acción épica que gira en torno al espionaje internacional, los viajes en el tiempo y la evolución, en la que un agente secreto debe prevenir la Tercera Guerra Mundial”.
