#Char and Alex are something so personal as well

[skeeterofthefeeder]

9 year old me would be shatting her pants if she knew what i was drawing right now. hi billy

headcanons and tidbits about my hum!bill design below because im ill

- i wanted to kinda have a balance between alex’s one drawing of human bill and The Tumblr Design. as well as some of my personal design choices because i wanted it to be lore accurate but still visibly projected on by Meeee

- bills still only got one eye (hence the closed lid, he chooses not to have a prosthetic) and i gave my design of him polycoria so he has two fused pupils in one big eye. he still has long ass giraffe lashes

- ive seen a lot of human designs of him with a suit and jacket and i think thats really cool but i wanted mine to be a bit simpler n try something new so i gave it a caped coat thing. which i actually like a lot but i might experiment in the future shrugs

- pierced ear with teeth because he would methinks. im not disclosing whether its deer teeth or human teeth

- crooked gapped discolored + missing teeth because i think its fitting + an aspect of alex’s bill that i liked and a design choice i like in general sniles. his breath smells like beer and issues

- not skinny like the Tumblr human bill design, i wanted to emulate the triangle shape w/ his body type so hes a little bottom heavy at the torso (tho it might not be too noticeable w/ the coat) and has scrawny limbs. he gets to be a chubby old man as a treat also ive seen designs of him with pointed ears and i thought that was neat. just human enough to be human passing but still Questionably Inhuman

- his bow tie looks a little bit less like his canon design’s, i liked a ribbon-looking one better since its kinda a parallel with stans ribbon thing + i hc he got it from his mom and the hat from his dad

- i dont really know if i wanted the lighter streaks to be highlights or greasy hair i could see it being both or either tee bee aych. i hc that his hair gets a lot longer when hes in the theraprism + dwelling on the divorce, and i really wanna draw that at some point

- i dont really have a face claim for him atm but if i ever find one im passionate ill edit this and out it here. i think hes got pretty sharp cheekbones but theres some chub under his chin + hes got a pointy nose. yknow cus hes. pointy

- i got this hc from tiktok but i thought it was really interesting; his hands are really charred from the fires of his deals, + expanding on that hc i think hes got burns from the euclydia fire under his coat and gloves

thats about all the thoughts i have for now, thanks for reading !!!

[quigzahhutt]

The first press of Alex's cock into Logan's hole is unbelievable; they've done this countless times before, but knowing it's different this time is... overwhelming.

Logan had pulled him aside a few months ago, slid his left hand into Alex's right, and the cold metal of his wedding ring against Alex's fingers where they were laced together was dizzying; it still is, honestly.

It still feels like a dream to think about– the fact that they're married and living together in a ritzy flat in Monaco. They're officially an item, no longer just a couple, a pair of adults who don't know what they're doing, teammates.

And as he was stuck in an emotional haze, caught up in the touchy feelings of having a husband, Logan had asked about having kids, and Alex suddenly felt like he was back in F1, taking an ice bath in a silly inflatable pool, practically naked in front of four different cameras. Completely and utterly out of his depth.

They had a conversation about it– numerous conversations, actually, long ones about the logistics, the realities and fantasies of it all, before eventually coming to a mutual conclusion.

And now here they are, tender bodies tucked against each other, filling the gaps and missing places of the other person, skin touching skin as the sun sets out the window.

Although, it is overcast out, so the sunset isn't anything special, but it feels like... like Alex knows they don't need it for this to be significant, that this is special all on its own even if the sky outside is an ugly color.

The warmth of Logan's hole is suffocating without a condom; Alex almost feels like he can't move or else he might hurt himself, that he might pull out and find the head of his cock charred and burnt.

"Alex- move," Logan gasps out, wrapping his legs around Alex's torso and fucking himself back on his cock.

It works, and Alex is pulling out and thrusting back in like it's his first time ever doing it; the movement is choppy, and it punches a groan from his chest, something that steals all his breath and leaves him heaving.

Logan isn't any better off; he's breathing just as heavily, and his fingers are digging into Alex's shoulders like he thinks he might disappear, leaving behind an crescent indentation of his fingernails.

"You okay down there?" Alex huffs, the end of his sentence swerving off into a breathless chuckle as he rests his forehead against Logan's, and the smile he gets in return is something he wishes he could tattoo on his brain for the rest of his life.

Because it's absolutely beaming, full of teeth, and lazy, and it's the most relaxed Logan has looked in years.

"More than. How couldn't I be when you're about to knock me up?" Logan says, still smiling with ease.

And he says it so naturally and it feels like a punch to the gut; the realization that Logan is made for this, made to be with Alex, made to be his, made to be pregnant and a mother and its all so overwhelming.

Alex has to tuck his face into Logan's neck because he feels like if he looks into his eyes any longer he might burst into flames, or maybe say something stupid and ridiculous that would definitely kill the mood immediately.

Instead, he steels himself, hikes Logan's legs up higher against his hips and then plants his arms on either side of his head.

"Are you ready?" Alex asks breathlessly, drunk on joy and a brand new feeling blooming in his chest, something he's never felt before.

And Logan just looks up at him, the skin around his eyes crinkled in the way that he loves oh so much, and the expression on his face tells Alex everything he needs to know.

this prompt completely ran away from me I'm so sorry if this isn't what u were looking for anon😭😭

[starry-hughes]

“charlie?”

trevor found his girlfriend in their bedroom at the lake house. a quick shut of her laptop and her heart beat picking up, charlie looked pale. she looked guilty. like when she was trying to lie to trevor about bullies at work.

“hi,” her throat was dry.

“what’s wrong?” he frowned. she shook her head. “just some work.”

she excused herself. “noodle needs to go out.” she took the dog downstairs and out the back door. trevor was confused. he knew charlie well enough to know that something was wrong.

he didn’t invade her privacy though, he left her laptop untouched. he felt like that would cross too many lines they wouldn’t come back from.

later that night, charlie was on her phone. staring blankly at it. she was in shock. the same email she read on her laptop, now being read on her phone. an open position. dallas. two days to respond. no other offers sent to anyone else. just charlie. they wanted charlie. starts in august. relocation necessary.

trevor was outside with his friends. jack, cole and alex all talking while trevor was so caught up thinking about what charlie was hiding. “what’s wrong with you?” cole nudged him. “char has just been weird today.”

“how?” alex questioned, he knew charlie pretty well. “hiding something on her laptop, not talking much.”

“not talking isn’t weird for her,” jack reminded. “but she talks to me normally.”

trevor’s brain was so jumbled at the end of the night. he didn’t think charlie was cheating, it wasn’t in her personality to do so. maybe a present she didn’t want him to know about. or a secret work project. whatever it was, it was causing charlie to be off.

[arlcchin]

I have a sweet/angsty headcanon that Michael loves like a dog but since hes literally one of the strongest archangels hes afraid of being with MC.

So. Yk , something like admiring someone from afar,and if anything happend to them he would definitely teleport out of nowhere and make up some excuse "oh yeah i was just really close"

- i think this would be Explained the best with the song "Sarah" by Alex G.

He would always visit MC in their dreams to make sure theyre sleeping well, but again those dreams are just dreams. Because theres a fear of losing them and losing everything he has.

He can only be intimate and close to MC in the dream.

"I can't be what you need

I am stuck in a dream

I am stuck in a dream"

"Don't you know she's been here all along in a dream?

She belongs in a dream"

I feel like, even if u give him fake promises or any promises he will hold onto it and cling onto it because he knows and thinks u are a good person ,and because he gen loves u.

(I also want to mention i want to give him a hc he has separation anxiety bcs i have it so i just want to relate to my fav char).

So if you ever try to leave him prepare for a mental breakdown

"Every day I'll make promises that plague Sarah's heart

So I can watch her fall apart

'Cause I know when I break her down

We'll spit on all the happy clowns that live around this sunny town

She loves me like a dog

And when we mess around, I'll let her know the truth

I can't rely on hope with fate

And every time I wake, I second guess the game I play

Did I make a mistake?"

(Hope any of this makes sense bcs im literally not a writer😔)

[beetlebethwrites]

Im not sure if this has been asked yet, but how would each RO react to receiving a spicy picture/text from MC while they’re working?

Matt would be pretty receptive to it. It would probably wake him up from the monotony of his job but he wouldn't reply too quickly; he doesn't want to actually get fired.

Eve wouldn't be comfortable receiving something like that while at work. She'd ask you to refrain in future, especially with pictures.

Alex would have to sneak off and reply in kind, it's their way and they do quite like sending a little spicy picture of themself. They're not shy in that way.

Jordan wouldn't be comfortable with it. They'd ask you to respect their boundaries and to not send them these kinds of things to them without asking.

Char would briefly look at it, play it off so well and then tell you that he can't look at this kind of stuff in the day but you'd be welcome to show them in person.

Bo-yeon would reply quickly telling you not to message this to xem while xe's at work. It's not appropriate and xe works hard to look as professional as xe can. That being said, xe wouldn't be unhappy to receive messages like that in other circumstances.

The perfect gift

The perfect gift, everyone thinks, is the minimal gift that Dean deserves in his birthday after all the years he spent taking care of everyone and saving the world, and his family is willing to find. Aka, the ducklings+ Cas try to find the perfect gift for Dean

The perfect gift, Jack decides as he puts different pans and pots in the kitchen counter, is this. And he can’t help but be excited when Dean smiles at him as he takes a bite of his-slightly-more-charred-than-brown burnt pancakes. The excitement doesn’t stop even when he has to help Dean cleaned the kitchen and burnt pans.

The perfect gift, Bobby-John believes as he struggles to find the design he wants, is this. And he feels cheerful as Dean hugs the teddy bear he designed with its soft and brown fur, dressed in a plaid t-shirt that smells like the apples and cinnamon of the pies that Dean likes so much. Bobby-John gets even more cheerful when Dean hugs him too.

The perfect gift, Kaia ponders as she struggles to find it, is this. And the gleeful look on Dean´s face as he opens the box and finds a collection of well-loved Vonnegut books is worth it. And Dean and her will later get engrossed in a conversation about the real classics, while Claire calls them nerds, and that will be even more worth it.

The perfect gift, Jesse rules as he browses the aisles of the store, is this. And the childlike wonder that Dean gets as he finds his favorite comic books from when he was a child makes Jesse´s chest swell up with pride. And later, Dean and him will see the comics and try to recreate the sillier moves, and they will laugh like loons.

The perfect gift, Alex hopes as she tries to untangle the wool, is this. And the way Dean´s eyes light up as she presents him the bracelet with the good luck pendant makes her thankful to be here sharing this moment. And afterwards, Alex will hug Dean, and the hunter will promise to always be there for them.

The perfect gift, Krissy wonders as she steps inside the music store, is this. And the way that Dean caresses the polished wood of the guitar she gifts him, as he starts playing some tunes, makes her smile something fierce. And once the party has dwindled down, Dean will track her down and teach her some basic tunes, and her smile will be the brightest

The perfect gift, Patience reflects as she wipes the paint from her hands, is this. And the delicate way that Dean handles the portrait she made of their whole family as if he was handling a Picasso, is a balm to her soul. And later Dean will build the picture a frame before finding the best place to hang it at the Bunker, and they will both smile every time they see it.

The perfect gift, Ben exclaims as he clicks in his computer, is this. And the little fist bumped, Dean makes when he opens the box to find the tickets to the baseball game makes him do a little fist bump himself. Later on, Dean will take an old glove and a baseball ball and their little play will devolve in an all time war with his siblings and family, and he will cackle at the chaos.

The perfect gift, Claire trusts as she finishes the final touches of her gift, is this. And the delicateness that Dean has as he pulls the new polished and repaired dagger out of the box, makes Claire smile despite herself. Afterwards, Dean will ask her how she was able to make this and Claire will smile cryptically towards Cas, but won’t say anything, after all she is the one that went through all the trouble of recreating the angel´s blade.

The perfect gift, Emma contemplates as she tries to take the glue out of her hands, is this. And the brightness of Dean´s smile as he careful looks at every photo of the scrapbook she made, bright her heart and her days. After, Dean will pull out and old trunk full of memories and pictures and they will start another scrapbook together, and she will feel the happiest person on the world

The perfect gifts, Sam shuffles as he tries to get them all through the door, is this. And the way that Dean almost falls in his haste to get to the pie table is a reward by itself. Later, Sam and Dean will go out and sit in the trunk of the Impala as when they were kids just watching the stars and they will both forever be grateful of being brothers

The perfect gift, Cas is not sure what it is and then he remembers something small that Dean used to want when he was a child. It is in the way that Dean eyes start to wet as he slowly but surely takes the figure action he wanted all those years ago, and sometime soars inside Cas´ chest as Dean pulls him in a kiss. Dean will go to bed later that night and will cuddle with him, and that is the most perfect gift that Cas can ask.

The perfect gift, Dean thinks, is this right here. It is the sheepish look in Jack´s face as he presents his burned pancakes to him. It is in the proud eyes of Bobby-John after he presents the teddy bear to him. It is in the excitement that Kaia gets as she starts to discuss her favorite books with him. It is in Jesse´s laughs as they pretend to be Batman and Robin It is in the way Alex´s protectiveness ensues as he promises to never leave any of them alone. It is in the soft tunes that Krissy plays on the guitar as he teaches her some of the music they both love. It is in Patience´s art and painting that bring a smile to his face every time he sees them. It is in the hesitant but firm way Ben throws the ball as their little practice evolves into and all war (it is also in the chaos that ensues). It is in the way that Claire smirks as he wonders how was she was able to recreate such a master piece. It is in the happiness of Emma and her little quips as she tells him the story of every photo on the scrapbook. It is in the nervousness on Sam as he suggests they go to watch the stars as was their tradition when they were children (it is in the happiness he gets as they do just that). It is in the action figure that Cas carefully gifts Dean, and it is not even about the action figure, it is about the healing of his inner child and the thoughtfulness that Cas had when he searched for said gift.

The perfect gift, Dean is sure, is this moment, it is being alive, surrounded by his love ones, and he wouldn’t change them for all the presents in the world

Caught || M. Verstappen

Paring: OC! Kaia Verstappen X OC! Luka Leclerc

Summary: When you noticed small changes about your daughter you started to worry, always on her phone, new big clothes, so secretive, it kept you up at night but how could you be so gullible? It was a boy but not just any boy, it was Luka Leclerc. Max wasn’t to happy when he found out Luka was getting down and dirty with his daughter

Warnings: none

“Come on schatje” you held your youngest child alex’s hand and then continued to pick him up pulling him in for a cuddle. It was 2am and the poor thing couldn’t get to sleep

“Mammy where is kaia?” The boy had questioned, I raised an eyebrow, kaia my eldest daughter had been really quiet all night, must’ve gone to bed early.

“She is in her room my love, please get some rest” I looked at alex who just nodded and fell asleep instantly.

I was about to walk back to my room when a particular door caught my eye, kaias door. I slowly opened it expecting her to be laying down but there was no one there, almost as if she had vanished.

I quickly pulled out my phone and called her multiple times over, yes I know that I snuck out as a child but she’s 16, I started to panic.

I was about to call the police when I heard a branch crack from outside her window, she had snuck in. Not only that but she reeked of cologne and she was wearing a hoodie that I certainly did not buy for her.

“Care to explain where you’ve been” I started watching the girl and she jumped not expecting me to be behind her

“Well, you see, I was just um, I needed some fresh air” I chuckled at her, walking to her

“Please don’t sneak out” I wrapped my arms around her

She was about to open her mouth in protest “no, I know you were sneaking out, I mean what kind of fresh air activity involves boys hoodies and” I scanned her neck

“Is that a hickey” my eyes widened

“Mama you must not tell papa please, it is all I ask and I really like the boy I do” she was begging at me tugging on my shirt

“so that’s why you’ve been on your phone so much more lately” she laughed at my statement and just nodded

“Can you tell me who the boy is and then I won’t tell papa” I held her hand acting like I wasn’t completely freaking out ready to kill whoever she’s been out with, maybe I could talk to their parents or something

“Uh… it’s Luka as in Luka leclerc” my mouth went agape, I thought they hated eachother! They had always hated eachother in karting but now I guess not

“Oh my! They’re coming over to dinner on Saturday you cannot let papa see, I will help you cover your hickey tomorrow and also you are grounded for sneaking out” I told her and I Shut the door not really caring to her response, I was just tired

Time skip to Saturday

“Charlotte! You look gorgeous” I kissed her cheeks as she blushed slightly returning the compliment. I looked over to see max and Charles hugging and talking

Charlotte went to go and put something in the kitchen so I made my way over to the leclerc children, Isabelle, marco and Luka. I could tell Luka just wanted to leave and see kaia so I quickly whispered kaias whereabouts and he thanked me greatly.

“I need a drink oh my” Charlotte laughed holding out a glass of champagne as we sat outside in the sun admiring the sunset

“Me too char, me too” I took a sip of my champagne and then Charlotte turned to me

“I think I need to tell you something” charlotte seemed kind of nervous and she was fiddling with her fingers

“Uh I kind of found Kaia’s underwear bra and shirt in my sons room” she smiled sheepishly waiting for my reaction

“Oh no, I was just about to tell you, I caught her sneaking home with hickeys on her neck. Let’s pray to the lords the men of the house don’t find out” Charlotte laughed at max and Charles

“So not to be THAT person but I so called it the moment they started karting” Charlotte stated putting her hands up

“Oh my I thought they hated eachother god maybe they should both pursue in acting or something like that” the 2 of us had a laugh

“WHAT THE FUCK” Charlotte and I both went place to the sight of Luka out of breath in only a shorts and kaia in Lukas hoody and nothing else

“It’s not what you thi-“ Luka went pale as kaia just stood behind him scared

“It’s exactly what I think it is and the truth is you’re not allowed to be having sex with my daughter you’re not good enough for her” max practically screamed at Luka to which then Charles came into the conversation

“How dare you fucking say that, have you ever realised it takes 2 people to have sex it’s not all Lukas fault maybe your daughters just a bad influence” Charles rolled his eyes and Charlotte and I both looked at them

“What the fuck did you just say” max was raging, he was so angry and just frustrated

“Stop it, you are all acting like children” Charlotte swatted her husbands shoulder as everyone went to stare at the 2 of us

“Look, as Long as theyre being safe I don’t have an issue with it” I said trying to calm down, I could see kaia and Luka cringe to us talking about their sex life. Max starred long and hard at me.

“Can I talk to max for a second?” I asked the group pulling max aside

“That was rude max, you insulted Luka, a boy you’ve known your whole life and you say he’s not good enough? They’re young in love, we were doing the same thing” I said to max huffing

“Yeah well- I just don’t want any Ferrari supporters in the bloodline” max rolled his eyes and me

“I think we’re safe, you scared the poor boy to death. Now please, go and apologise without any threats of any kind” max hesitated and reluctantly turned around walking to the boy who had now put him clothes back on

“Look, do whatever you want in life, I’m fine with you dating my daughter but if you fuck up I will murde-“

“No threats max, you promised” I whispered

“Look no Sex and no Kissing” charles came up and nodded and then turned to max and they both talked about it for a bit and hugged

Kaia was delighted and Luka was super happy and pulled her in for a kiss

“STOP SHOVING YOUR TONGUE DOWN MY DAUGHTERS FACE” max yelled

“This is going to be an interesting relationship Char” I smiled at Charlotte who nodded and laughed in agreeing

Today I think I shall gush about my piglin naming system! Inspired by Technoblade :)

Piglin names typically come in three parts, being (attribute)(thing you’re known for)(bastion name). Bastion names are normally used if you’re interacting with anyone outside of your bastion or horde, because goodness knows how many piglins out there are named Gold…

First names are usually a personality trait or something alluding to one, not always literal. Techno was named as such because he’s cool and calculating on the outside, like technology. Flint (my oc, for a second example) was named as such because he’s hardy and dependable.

Second names are given later on in life (some piglins choose not to use them, or never earn them)— these can be a lot of things! Usually it’s a profession, but it can also be a notable event in your life; it’s something people would recognize you for. Techno got the name “blade” because of his prowess with blades in farming and on the battlefield, and Flint got “bairn” for being good with those who are born (animals, but children especially).

Some piglins never end up getting second names, and some don’t associate with a bastion. Those who are outcast or choose to move elsewhere may take up a different name. They also morph with time— if someone becomes more well-known for something after they’d already received a second name, they’d change it to match!

This is the short version, amazingly enough. More under the cut if you’re interested in it! You’ll get a glimpse into how my mind works, lol

First names aren’t given until piglings start to grow their tusks in, around which time their personality shows a lot more. As a baby, they’re given a placeholder name by their parents or caretakers, which can be anything! Typically, it’s from a pool of names that that bastion or horde holds dear, so litters a couple years apart may end up having the same childhood names.

I actually have a list of some names that’d work in one way or another, though not all of them may fit together smoothly. You can likely shift stuff around and add or subtract letters so it rolls off your tongue easier. I mean, technically this is in english, so it’d likely work in the piglin’s spoken language, but hey!

Birth names: Typically some physically defining trait, notable action, or person/idol/role model, given to the piglet shortly after birth. Examples include steve/alex/jean, mud, snow, speckle, leather, squeal, swift, trot, crinkle, crimson, trip/skip, hopper

First names: Typically an object or item, or field of study or important advancement in relation to the piglin’s temperament around 8-12 years of age. Overworld examples are used less frequently, but tend to be given to piglets with exceptional or odd temperaments. Examples include Techno(logy), Flint, Fence, Ash, Ember, Clay, Obsidian (Obi-), Cinder, Gold, Flame, Blaze, Rose, Water, Rust, Cobblestone (Cobble-), Honey

Second names: Typically a thing or descriptor/verb (usually in past tense), given to the piglin after finding something they excel at or become known for. This is usually a word that pertains to multiple aspects of them (as with Techno, ‘blade’ refers to his expertise with bladed items both in battle and cultivation). Examples include Blade, Bairn (born), Char, Forge, Lock, Arrow, Shield, Bloom, Ferrous/Aurous, Brew, Heal, Tame, Craft, Knife, Smith, Saw, Sword, String, Saddle, Spirit, Breath, Grown, Wrought, Torn, Write, Built, Read, Smelt, Bud, Scar

Literally just copy pasted from my notes app so apologies if stuff is repeated or doesn’t make sense! If you guys have piglin name ideas or oc ideas regarding this I will give you a kiss on the forehead, I adore it.

The more I talk about it the more it sounds like how warrior cats name themselves. I know nothing about warrior cats, unfortunately, so I can’t say it holds true, but… I feel like this may be a common thing I worldbuilding. Regardless, I just think it’s neat!

If you are insane about piglins as I am or still relatively sane with a little interest in them, do interact! I’d love to bounce ideas off each other ^^! Also if you got this far I love you and tuck you in all cozy like a snug bug!! Don’t forget to eat and drink today, you deserve it! Okay that’s all for right now! :D

The teacher asked and the girl nods. The teacher could tell the girl was nervous "luke could you come over here please?!"

If I could reach the top of the world

Be all I am it'd be so beautiful

If only...

I could be brave and I could be strong

I would know where I belong

If only

I wanna feel free to be who I am

What I'm about is more than I've been

Ready to show the world who I am

Start letting out what I am holding in

Find my own place to stand

So I could be who I am

Yeaaah

I have it inside, I know that I do

All that I am is gonna break through

If only...

I could believe and live it right now

Take the time to work it out

If only...

I wanna feel free to be who I am

What I'm about is more than I've been

Ready to show the world who I am

Start letting out what I am holding in

And find my own place to stand

So I could be who I am

I'm closer to where I'm meant to be

If I try I know that I can get there

I'm not gonna stop 'cause I believe

That there's so much more... to me to me

So much more oooohhh

I wanna feel free to be who I am

What I'm about is more than I've been

Ready to show the world who I am

Start letting out what I'm holding in

Find my own place to stand

So I could be who I am

Yeaah yea yeaah yea yea

So I could be who I am

I can be who I am

Yea...

*song over*

Apon walking off stage she was bombarded by the boys "why did you never say you could sing?!" Luke asked her "well I just felt really nervous about it 1 because I didn't think I was that good and 2 you know how my parents feel about music being more then just something you listen to" I say. My parents did exactly see music as a proper career choice and they made that very clear especially ever since the guys started their band "well you were amazing!" Alex says making her smile "thanks Alex" she says as the boys all look at one another "hey Char.....how would you feel about joining our band?" Luke asked with a slight smirk. She almost couldn't believe it "are you serious?" She asked them "definitely, you clearly have the passion for music" luke says "and the voice of an angel" reggie says making me blush a little bit.

It was on Charlotte's 16th birthday while hanging out with the guys that reggie gets her attention "so um I have something I wanna ask you" he says and the girl turns to him "yea reg?" She asked smiling "well I ummmm......" he gets inrrupted by Alex "he wants you to be his girlfriend" he says. Charlotte couldn't believe it "so?" Reggie asked her and she simply kissed his cheek "does that awnser you question babe" she says and reg gets this big goofy smile on his face "well its about time!" Bobby says making charlotte giggle a little bit. The next year was amazing but it was made even better when they were rehearsing for a show at the Orpheum which is huge for them especially since a loads of bands became extremely popular after playing this theatre.

(1, 2, 3)

Luke: Take off

Last stop

Countdown till we blast open the top

Face first

Full charge

Electric hammer to the heart

All: Clocks move forward

But we don't get older, no

Kept on climbing

Till our stars collided

Luke: And all the times we fell behind

Were just the keys to paradise

All: Don't look down

'Cause we're still rising

Up right now

And even if we

Hit the ground

We'll still fly

Keep dreaming like we'll live forever

But live it like it's now or never

Luke: Hear the noise

In my head

It's calling out like a voice I can't forget

One life

No regrets

Catch up, got no time to catch my breath

All: Clocks move faster

'Cause it's all we're after now

Won't stop climbing

'Cause this is our time, yeah

When all the days felt black and white

Those were the best shades of my life

Don't look down

'Cause we're still rising

Up right now

And even if we

Hit the ground

We'll still fly

Keep dreaming like we'll live forever

But live it like it's now or never

Alex: We ain't searching for tomorrow (reggie & Charlotte: tomorrow)

'Cause we got all we need today (reggie & Charlotte: today)

Alex:Living on a feeling that's been running through our veins

Reggie: We're the revolution that's been singing in the rain

All: Don't look down

'Cause we're still rising

Up right now

And even if we

Hit the ground

We'll still fly

Keep dreaming like we'll live forever

But live it like it's now or never

It's now or never (Charlotte: now or never)

*song over*

Charlotte couldn't believe how good that felt, The boys all pulled away from their instruments, Alex slowing down his beats while Charlotte concluded the song with a small guitar riff before her and Alex ended with one last beat of their instruments. The energy of that was plusing though the girls vains as she puts down to her guitar hearing a few cheers from the employees Orpheum making the girl smile. "Whoo Excellent!" "Sounds great, guys!" A hand on her shoulder caused the girl to open her eyes. her gaze shifting over to reggie who was smiling widely at her and he kissed her Forehead, Charlotte couldn't help but smile back. She turns her attention to the other boys who all had smiles apon their faces, "Whoo! Yeah!" one of the workers closest to them continued to cheer while Stephanie's smile continued to grow. This was the biggest night of their lives and they were merely hours away from playing for a big crowd at the Orpheum, They were about to become legends and nothing could ruin her mood.

"Thank you!" Charlotte said, smiling

towards the workers. "We're Sunset

Curve" reggie adds on "Too bad we wasted that on the soundcheck. That was the tightest we've ever played," Bobby told them while he and Luke high five one another. "There's always room for improvement, Bobby. Besides, I have a feeling our performance will be just that much better when we're feeding off the crowd's energy," Charlotte said, turning to Reggie who had wrapped his arms her from behind course her to ever so slight lean against him. Luke smile "she's right guys, we're gonna be so much better when the crowds energy is pumping though our vains so just wait until tonight, man, when this place gets packed with record execs" Luke agreed.

"Alex, you were smoking," Reggie

complimented while the drummer

looked to him in surprise before

bashfully lowering his head. "Oh, no. I was just warming up," Alex tried to say. "You guys were the ones on fire."

"Alex you were rocking it!" Charlotte complained as she playfully punched his shoulder. "Could you just own your awesomeness for once?" Reggie asked. Alex looked to Luke and Bobby who were nodding in agreement before glancing down The blonde eventually gave in, a smile appearing on his face, "Alright, I was killing it" he says "hell yea you were!" Charlotte says with a smile. "Ok, well, I'm thinking we fuel up before the show. I'm thinking street dogs," Luke suggested while Alex and Reggie quickly agreed. Charlotte however wasn't over hungry so she decided to stay back here while the boys went to eat, she followed Bobby over to the girl waitress who had been cheering

the loudest for them. "Hey, Bobby,

where you going?' Luke asked as he, reggie and Alex followed behind as well.

'T'm good,' Bobby tried to say, but

the rest of the band was already on

his tail as he approached the girl.

"Vegetarian," he told her causing

Charlotte to scrunch up her nose and

look to Reggie who chuckled as she

mouthed the word to him. "I could

never hurt an animal" he says and char just rolled her eyes, "You guys are really good" the girl told them before looking to Charlotte and smiling. "And you killed it out there girl" Charlotte smiled "Thank you very much" she says  said while the boys all grinned "I see a lot of bands. Been in a couple myself. I was really feeling it," she told them, her words making charlotte's smile widen while she tried to sneakily punch the arm of the person closest to her - Alex - in excitement "That's what we do this for," Luke said, clapping a hand on Bobby's shoulder "I'm Luke by the way" he says "and I'm Charlotte, btw I love your outfit" she says "thank you" the girl says.

"Hi, I'm Reggie." "Alex", "Bobby.", "Nice meeting you guys," the girl told them. "I'm Rose", "Oh, uh. . .here's our demo" Reggie said, handing the girl a CD. "And a T-shirt, Size beautiful." Luke says handing her a t-shirt "Thanks. I'll make sure not to wipe the tables down with this one. "Oh, good call. Whenever they get wet, they just kinda fall apart in your hands,' Alex told her, holding his hands out for emphasis as he spoke. "Don't you guys have to go get hot dogs?" Bobby questioned, obviously annoyed. Luke glanced at the boy and pat his shoulder once.

The boys left reggie making sure to kiss Charlotte's head once more before leaving "you two are really cute together" Rose says "yea reg is the best, I don't know what I did to deserve him" Charlotte says smiling

*later*

"Where are they, Bobby? We go on in

five minutes. They should be back by

now" Charlotte insisted, hopping from one foot to another in an attempt to shake off some of the nervousness she was feeling "They'll be here, Steph. Stop worrying, Bobby told her, gently grabbing ahold of her shoulders and attempting to get her to stand still. "They wouldn't pass up on an a opportunity like this andyou saw how excited your brother was. He'll make sure they get back to the Orpheum one way or another." "But-" Charlotte began to say, her hands shaking a bit. "Remember what Luke told you about working yourself up before a gig. You get too jittery and it doesn't help you focus when you're on stage" Bobby reminded her. Charlotte frowned before closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath. "You're right,' she said, letting out the breath and smiling softly. "They'll be here, They always are" she reminds herself. That of course doesn't stop her worrying about the boys where abouts which in turn coursed her to start pacing as there came a knock at the dressing room door.

Bobby opened the revel two cops "is everything okay?" He asked and the second the word left their mouths Charlotte broke down in floods of tears "nooooo!" She screamed out feeling her heart shatter into a million Pecies. Over the next few mouth she became a shell of the girl she once was but what really broke what was left of her was when her parents set her up with someone else. The fight that followed course her to run out of the house and its unfortunately it was a mouth later that she was crossing the street late at night as a drunk driver came speeding down the street.

And this is just the start of the story of Julie and the phantoms.

i know you already touched on some, but yellowjackets and pll for the media parallels?

Okay so some very obvious similarities between the two shows as in they’re both about a group of girls who are friends who end up sharing these really traumatic experiences, and we see those experiences shape them into people who can only be understood in a specific way by each other. Pll plays with horror tropes sometimes although it isn’t a horror show the way Yellowjackets is and vice versa for Yellowjackets interacting with like, genera drama tropes you’d find in Pll. There are some similarities between archetypes in characters and dynamics.

Jackie and Alison is a pretty clear parallel: both the popular leader girls who died before the bigger story came to fruition and their death dramatically effects things for the other girls going forward, she haunts the narrative after her death even appearing to Shauna/the liars post her death (Alison actually being alive isn’t that useful to this parallel so I won’t really address it here). Even though they embody some similar archetypes and places in the narrative of both shows Jackie and Alison obviously aren’t the same character and the dynamics/ripple effects of their death have differences. Jackie is not a “mean girl” like Alison was, her power actually came from how nice and easy to get along with she was (in a world that wasn’t an environment she was fundamentally unsuited to on all levels, in which she was just slightly cunty/not willing to get her hands dirty thus rapidly losing social power pre her death, definitely not a controlling, manipulative rule with an iron fist type a la Ali in any way). Also her death is shown to have significance for the group in general but only Shauna is truly haunted/her life is defined by Jackie’s death. For the other girls (and my perception of this might change with further exploration in the show, but atm) the significance is there but symbolic/part of a picture so much bigger. I don’t even think that Emily is irrefutably the most effected by Alison’s death of all the chars, it’s so significant for all of them in different ways. But I think in a similar way to how all the liars kind of take on the “role” of Alison in some way after her death (I’m actually writing a paper for a class about Pll and gothic doubling so I go into them all “mirroring” Ali in some way there a lot I won’t get into it here much since I don’t want to end up writing my paper twice), you see something similar with Jackie in Yellowjackets, and in that way I think you could say the liars “consume” Alison as well even if it isn’t literal like with the team eating Jackie. An obvious case is Shauna marrying Jeff, and taking on the future Jackie likely would have had if she lived. Also see Taissa and then especially after her death Lottie taking up the mantle of leadership when Jackie can not, the way Spencer took on that role for the liars. 

Taissa and Spencer parallels! They’re both the high achieving smart girl who is stubborn/prideful and Will die on hills! If they want to! Also very loyal and especially young! Taissa is very protective in the way that Spencer is and that’s a big part of both their roles in the dynamics. Both also went to law school and then worked in politics although Spencer was less on the frontlines. Also noticed they’re both typed ENTJ on pde. Also the whole mirror! Tai thing vs Spencer and Alex mirror scene which yes campy but a parallel for sure. But yes they have an evil double. I also last year when I watched Pll did read a lot of old A theories out of curiosity and the Spencer as A ones usually involved a split personality or break that lead to her chasing her own tail in a sense, and I feel like Tai re: mirror Tai is similar to that. 

Mona and Misty feels like the most on point comparison imo. They’re both so driven by wanting both love and control, also I reblogged a comp het reading of Misty reading that’s also very Mona. Their attitudes to the other adult yellowjackets / the liars and sort of being on the outskirts but there to help with murder cover ups etc. lol. I just love those crazy bitches. I’m actually having a hard time finding words to explain their similarities to me it’s just so obvious. 

Shauna, to me, parallels both Emily and Spencer, and specifically I think Shauna is sort of a potential version to me of what could have happened for Emily if the writers had been willing to explore underlying flaws or darker aspects to her char the way they did with Spencer and Mona all the time and to a lesser extent Alison Aria and Hanna. They have the Jackie/Alison thing in common and Emily is sometimes shown to be effected by her grief in terms of having a lot of repressed anger, abandonment/commitment issues imo, and also she very much wants to see herself as a good person/has a lot of pride which is very Shauna. also I feel like the specific overlaps are also in line with the ways Spencer and Emily have a fair amount in common. Shauna also takes on the Spencer role specifically in the finale scene her saying her piece about the roles Jackie forces onto her and how she wishes Jackie was dead basically reminded me a lot of the Spencer + Ali (paraphrased) “I made you Spencer” what is a leader without any followers you would not exist without us you are dead to me already” scene. Also Shauna is Spencer like in her obsessiveness. 

Taissa x Shauna x Jackie I had a whole thing about being like Spencer x Emily x Alison, however it’s been a season and I was a lot more obsessed with that dynamic in s1 recently I’ve been more pre occupied with both the lottienatmisty sitch and the taivan dysfunctional divorced arc and shaunatai (which I was literally obsessed with in s1) shines less than other dynams rn and Ella’s not on set. Taishauna reminded me of Spemily because of the same sense of them clashing brutally but ultimately being very tender with each other/understanding each other so we’ll and being there for each other in especially hard moments. Tai and Shauna both kind of take on the Spencer role with Alison at points like I said and then the idea of Jackieshauna is like the idea of Emison obviously the heart of the dynamics are different but tropes wise there are similarities. Especially the way Shauna/Emily need their dead girls to be kind of on this pedestal in their memory/are in love with the impossibility of them I rebloged a meta about this for how Shauna sees ghost Jackie I think… On my note about Jackie being softer than Alison I also think there’s a bit of similarity to Emaya in how things play out. The scene where Tai comforts Shauna over Jackie’s body in the finale reminded me of Spencer comforting Emily in Unmasked when Maya’s body is found. 

I was toying with a Mistynat Vandermarin comparison but I don’t have much concrete to say tbh except the whole Misty watching Nat through a camera deal in the s1 finale would so happen with Mona watching either Hanna or Spencer… actually or any of the liars ngl. 

I’m sure there’s more to say but I’m finishing this up after leaving it half written a while lmao 

(from an ask game I made about finding parallels between two things)

i work hard at my job, but i suspect i’m purely decorative.

@vanishinq

The laugh that escapes her is bright and cheerful, escaping through the open windows and out into the comparatively cool air of nighttime LA. She's not completely certain when it was that she became Alex's personal taxi driver - seemingly at beck and call even on nights that she herself isn't even working - but she doesn't mind it. It's nice to know that he's getting home safe, and he never really calls unannounced unless the buses are cancelled or he's had a rough night, and he's usually good company as they cruise through the almost-empty streets.

"I hate to break it to you, but there is a good portion of your job that is to be decorative. Well to be hot, anyway, which is more or less the same thing." She shoots him a grin, light and teasing, though her eyes sweep his face for a moment before they return to the road ahead. He's usually good company, sure, but sometimes it's hard to tell if his jokes are only jokes, or if there's something else buried behind them.

Char allows the silence to settle for a few moments before she speaks again. "So how was tonight? Rams seemed to think it was going to be a busy one. That what's got you bemoaning your beauty?" Light and easy, letting him avoid the subject if he wants to.

Alex Miller Delivers Gritty, Guitar-Driven Rocker, “When God Made The South”

American Idol alum Alex Miller’s fans have been eagerly awaiting new music, and he delivers with “When God Made The South.” An anthemic, guitar-driven ode to the glories of Southern living, the track is a great send off to summer. “WGMTS” is as gritty as a gravel road, as raw as moonshine and as slick as goose … well, you know. It’s a bit outside of what most might consider Miller’s “traditional Country” lane, but the move was intentional and offers a glimpse at another side of this talented Kentucky-born vocalist. The track is available for pre-save now. “Lyrically it’s just Country as dirt, but we rocked it pretty hard. I wanted it to sound like something between George Strait and KISS.” – Alex Miller “I really took the Idol judges’ advice to heart,” Alex admits. “I get that I have to challenge myself and keep growing to keep going in this business. This song was perfect for me. It screams ‘hit’ and the minute I heard it I knew we had to cut it. The lyrics are straight on Country. If you just read them, you’d never know this single was so edgy, but Jerry’s production takes things in a whole different direction – and I think it is just awesome.” “I really struggle to think of a young artist as self-assured of his style and brand as Alex Miller. This single gives a nod to modern Country radio without sacrificing identity.” – Billy Dukes, Taste of Country “A trailer load of grits ain’t got nothin’ on Alex’s latest.” – Duncan Warwick, Country Music People  “Alex shows off his jammin’ side with utmost perfection!” – Preshias Harris, Nashville Music Line “Best of all possible worlds – the past, present and future of Country – all wrapped up in one song.” – Char Richards, The Life Box Media Channel Produced by award-winning songwriter and industry veteran Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records, “When God Made The South” is the first release from Miller’s second and upcoming album for the label. His debut CD, MILLER TIME, delivered three well-received singles: “I’m Over You, So Get Over Me,” “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya” and “Through With You” (which took Alex to the Top 35 of the Billboard Indicator Chart, and reached #2 on THE COUNTRY NETWORK with its companion music video). “We’ve been on a real journey together for the last 18 months,” says Salley of his relationship with Alex. “We’ve learned so much about each other on a musical – and personal level. What stands out the most to me is that he loves all kinds of music. As Country as Alex is, he can perform any type of music that moves him. He is not one dimensional. It is a blast to hear this kid stretch a bit outside of his natural zone and try something new. He is so young and can go so far, it should be fun for him.” Miller’s had a blast to date; he loves the road and the energy of the crowds and this year he has shared the stage with Brooks & Dunn (Iowa State Fair), Jamey Johnson (Wisconsin State Fair), Generation Radio (Ohio State Fair), Niko Moon (Kentucky State Fair) and King Calaway (Oklahoma State Fair). Additionally, he’s headlined at the New York State Fair, opened shows for Diamond Rio and Sawyer Brown, and debuted at the popular Wild Rose Casinos in Iowa. Fans can keep up with Alex on his website, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Read the full article

DROP SOME DEETS ON NED AND CHAR’S STORIES WITH HASTE

I want everyone to know that this is a HILARIOUS ask because Leah probably knows the absolute most about these fics lol! I just come into her DMs and talk about it and then she responds and we freak out about work that IS NOT EVEN OUT YET. A true friend <3

For those not in the know, whenever I write my fics, I always do a lot of character work and work out other backstories and things. I honestly think it's just the actor in me - and the obsessive planner in me. It's why the Cowboy Like Me text fic exists (that started out as a writing exercise and as a way for me to keep tabs on what the extended ensemble's activities were before all the plots merged) and it's why the Simon Lovers Twitter gc knows allll about the Richard and Hermione backstory that didn't make the cut in the OTWTTW text fic (maybe one day I'll do a Rimoine text fic lol). So when I was plotting out my "Miles the Rake" fic, I had to plot out his siblings marriages; one, because, well, character work, and both Ned and Char would be married before Miles, and two, because I wanted the characters to be featured heavily in Miles' stories and I wanted to have a strong sense of who they were and who their partners were. Minor spoiler that their partners are involved in Miles' love story with Arshi, so it just made sense to plot it out.

The trouble was that the more I wrote, the more I fell in love with these characters and their stories.

Without giving too much away, I'll give inquiring minds this;

Ned and Rosie are childhood best friends to lovers. They've essentially been best friends since they were born, in love since they were two, and their story is filled with such sweet, misguided, innocent mutual pining, mutual jealousy, and so much love and selflessness :,) I love these crazy kids. They get married when they're 22 because they really just can't wait. I love them, your honor! (I've already chatted about them SO MUCH on Twitter, that I won't do a writing sneak peek)

Now, Charlotte and Alex I have not chatted about on Twitter, so here's a sneak peek:

The air was hot, stiflingly so. 

Biting the inside of her cheek, Charlotte offered a group of mamas a delicate smile as she wove past them, gracefully dodging the rest of the crowd as she made her way towards the doors. The ballroom was packed - then again, any party the Viscountess Bridgerton hosted was always bound to garner a large crowd. Her mother had gained quite the reputation for themed parties, and tonight’s had ensured that Charlotte was dressed in a gown decorated with pearls and scales, her long hair in a braided crown - she was a mermaid. 

Of course, Charlotte had not been the only Bridgerton to be roped into costume; her entire family was made to dress as some sort of underwater spectacle. She could see her parents right now; her mother was gamely sporting a gown that extended into eight large tentacles that followed behind her wherever she went, clearly delighting in how dramatic her homage to the great sea witch was. Her father, to his credit, also looked pleased with his costume; he’d donned it begrudgingly, apparently having lost a bet to her mother, but once he discovered that he could actually poke people with his trident, he’d been a steadfast presence in the ballroom since then, not slinking off like he usually did during one of these events, all in favor of seeing how many times he could stab her uncle Colin on his behind. 

Still, as diverting as it usually was to stay and watch her parents tread the line between charmingly eccentric and downright insane, the ballroom had grown too hot for Charlotte. 

But not in temperature, no. 

Charlotte Bridgerton was a lady. She did not usually get flustered or bothered. But here she was, both of those things.

💰 for everyone?? :3

💰 If your OC had all the money they could ask for what would they do with it? Where would they go and what would they buy? Are they the only one who benefits from this wealth?

Matt would definitely want to continue with the channel. He'd make it so that all of the team can get the software and equipment they need and that they have a fair wage to do whatever they want. He'd almost definitely help Jordan (and anyone else) with any further study that they want and maybe consider a masters for himself as well. He'd be thrilled at not having to continue to work.

Eve would first and foremost help her mum buy her house/buy a new house. Then she'd probably travel some, learn to drive etc. She isn't materialistic but would likely have some splurges for clothes she could never think to afford before but has always loved. She'd use the chance to give up working and write instead.

Alex would undoubtedly buy loads of things. They are the kind of person who buys a lot of things anyway, they enjoy owning objects. The big thing that they could buy with unlimited money would be stability and they'd do it for the team, their housemates and everyone else as well. They'd also likely pay for their younger brother to go through whatever education he wanted as well as whatever their grandparents want. An extended trip to Portugal for their family would be paid for as well.

Jordan would run the risk of paying for all sorts of things and leaving themself out of the rounds. They would pay for whatever their family needs first and then get around to themself after. They'd probably buy a few nice things for themself like trainers they really like, a special holiday, driving lessons, a few things like that.

Char would help his parents pay off their mortgage, pay off his own and then probably go around and go to concerts and festivals across the world. He'd get a good quality drumkit. They'd maybe get some upgrades to their hearing aids if there was something he really felt like he would really benefit from but he's not too fussed about getting more discreet ones.

Bo-yeon would use the money to buy a flat and take the opportunity to travel more, particularly home. Xe would definitely pay for things when xir parents need it, and the money would just pay for an increased level of freedom away from grant applications etc.

IMAGINE #40 - Meet my son

Here were go for the next request and this time, we come back with a good old imagine with our beloved Alexander ❤️ Sorry for the delay, I needed to take a break from everything! Thanks anon for this lovely request, I hope this is what you expected! 🤩 Have fun till the next Alex’s imagine ❤️

Summary : After too much disappointing relationships, you come to the conclusion that being single isn’t that bad. But Stellan Skarsgård has other plans for you and for his eldest son who is single for too long… 

Pairing : Alexander Skarsgård x reader

Warnings : fluff! 

Tag list : @katerka88​ ; @bonnieelizabethparker​ ; @ateliefloresdaprimavera​ ; @anangelwhodidntfall​ ; @fawnbrrry​

For many people, a romantic relationship is a priority in life. A goal to achieve. You might as well say that you are not in this category of people. After three relationships that ended in three painful breakups, you had made the decision to stop suffering because of a man. And after two years of being single and free, you must confess that you were doing very well and that it had been a wonderful decision. You were free to do what you wanted, see who you wanted to see and take time for yourself. But that was all before someone had other plans for you...

Stellan Skarsgård was the archetypal Swede: tall, blond, pale-faced and charming. He could seem reserved, even cold, when you didn't know him, but very quickly, you discovered a kind and funny man. You admired him as an actor and when your agent told you that you had been chosen for the second role opposite him - a father and daughter role - in Lasse Hallström's next film, you were both proud and stressed. You were no longer a novice in the business cause you had been playing roles since you were young, but you were still apprehensive about playing opposite such great actors.

As soon as the shooting started, your fears were gone. Stellan took you under his wing, gave you a lot of advice to improve your acting even more. He spent a lot of time rehearsing with you and so, you both became close. Being the same age as his son Bill, he thought of you as one of his daughters and that helped you a lot to make that connection appear on screen.

For four months, he did not stop charring you because it was also his other specialty. He would joke around, hide some of your stuff, clown around in the middle of a serious scene and more. He was really a big kid despite his age. But the thing that made him laugh the most was when he heard that you had decided to stay single. 

"Why would you do something like that to yourself?!" he had laughed as you were having lunch in the set cafeteria. He almost choked on a piece of salad. 

"But I'm not doing anything to myself since I chose it!" you retorted with a look of fake shock as continuing to eat your meal. He wasn't the first person to make these kinds of comments to you and you had a whole series of arguments in your bag.

"Unbelievable! You're the first woman I've ever met who tells me she doesn't need a man in her life!".

"Stellan, what you just said is very misogynistic! I thought the Swedes had much more progressive ideas than that!".

"Oh c'mon! I'm from the old days, remember? For me it's impossible to live without a woman. Besides I had two wives!’. You burst out laughing as you put your lunch tray away, determined to make him understand your point of view.

"I live very well, you know. I take a lot of time for myself, I travel, I do what I like, I discover new things and...".

"And why not do all that with someone by your side, like a man for example ?"

"But what for?" you insist, bursting into laughter again.

"Rah", he growled, frustrated that he didn't change your mind, "I don't understand you young people! It's like my oldest son, Alexander, he's also been single for a few years now and he keeps telling me that...". Suddenly, Stellan stops talking and looks into the void, lost in thought.  

"Stellan, is everything okay?" you ask, concerned. Why had he suddenly stopped in his explanations ? His reaction was very strange and worried you. Two minutes later, he finally explains to you what he has in mind.

"Yeah yeah everything’s fine”, he hastens to add, rubbing his hand together like if he just discovered the best plan ever. “I just had the most brilliant idea of all!"

"What do you mean?". For a simple answer, he just rolled his eyes, with a mischievous smile on his face. He looked rather proud of himself and his genius idea. 

"You're single. My son Alexander is too. If I can get you two to meet, I will have made the couple of the century!". He used his hands as examples to show you what he was going to do. You look at him seriously for a few seconds before laughing. 

"But I'm serious you know!", he seems almost offended to see you making fun of him. 

"Yeah yeah...so am I Stellan! You're just forgetting one little detail! Feelings can't be controlled, you can't force someone to fall in love !".

"Oh but don't worry about it, it won't be necessary", he said to conclude, with an implied tone...

*

So for the rest of the shoot, he kept harping on you with "You should meet my son" or "Oh Alexander loves that kind of thing too, I'm sure you'd get along great!". But knowing Stellan, you decided not to take his remarks seriously. It's true, after all he was just saying that to be nice. He was sad to see you alone and was just being considerate. In the evenings, when you were alone and lost in the thought, you sometimes thought about it and imagined a possible love affair with his son, and you felt apprehensive. You hadn't been with anyone for a long time, you had grown to like this independence. the idea of having to share it with someone bothered you. Besides, you had never dated an actor before and it must have been very special. Impossible to stay incognito. In short, Stellan's idea (if it was indeed his idea), was only half convincing to you.

*

You've never been so wrong in your life. On the evening of the premiere, you walked the red carpet looking as natural as possible in front of the audience and the photographers. And then suddenly the crowd started to scream, especially the women. Intrigued, you looked at what caused such a craze and you saw Stellan's car pull up and the giant blond man get out. I understand now, you think, until you see behind him a second blonde giant getting out of the car. The screams increase and you understand why. Stellan decided to come with his son Alexander. Charming smile, graceful walk despite his size, natural class and irresistible beauty. He is indeed his father's son... They pose together and separately for a few minutes before coming in your direction. Except that you hadn't imagined for a moment that he would come with him! 

"(X/Y) !", exclaimed Stellan as he arrived in front of you, "how are you sweetheart !". He hugged you before shifting to bring his son over. "This is Alex, my son." Oh my goodness. He's just as tall as his father, if not taller, and he's even more handsome up close. 

"Nice to meet you. I'm Alexander" he says as he leans in to kiss you on the cheek. This Alexander is too good to be true. God bless Sweden. 

Your body temperature rises of ten degrees in a few moments. Everything you had thought about until then disappears. Your cheeks were burning and you couldn’t no longer control your body. You still managed to mumble a "nice to meet you", almost closing your eyes to keep in mind this magic moment and the delicious smell of her perfume water in your nostrils. 

"Come on, let's have some pictures together", Stellan offered as he hugged you both to strike a pose. The next day, all the newspapers and media would laugh at the state of your face after this very unexpected encounter...

After the screening of the film and the various interviews, all the guests were invited to a small party. Sellan and Alexander had been together all evening and you had not yet had the opportunity to speak with him. To tell you the truth, this terrified you more than anything else. Coming out of the bathroom, where you had been checking your makeup, you headed to the bar to get a drink but someone had already taken the lead for you. 

"Would you like a Gin and tonic on the rocks, with a slice of lemon in it?". You turn around and run into Alexander handing you a drink, a friendly smile on his face. Oh that face, help me god. He's irresistible. He seems to notice your puzzled expression - how could he guessed that you were going to order that particular drink? - and adds :

"Dad told me this was your favorite alcoholic drink. Like me" You smile, amused, and take the glass he is handing you, thanking him for his attention. 

"So it was true...He wasn't saying that to joke or reassure me..." you murmur, looking around the room in search of Stellan with your eyes.

"Excuse me?", Alex asks after taking a sip of his own glass, wondering if he had heard you speak.

"Oh nothing...This is between your father and me" you add as you finally find him. He is chatting in a corner with some other guests. Within seconds, he turns to catch your eye. You then raise your glass in his direction to toast, a small smile on your face, to show him that his plan had worked. He responds in kind, with a "I told you so" look on his face.

“What about sitting at a table and talk more quietly ? Apparently we have a lot to talk about..."
