Curious Caterer: Fatal Vows

[movies-tv-more]

TV Show & Movie Collections for March 12, 2024

Not A Book Friday

Apparently this movie was actually based on two books by Diane Mott Davidson, Catering for Nobody and Dying for Chocolate. Both books in the Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery series.

In the movie (and the book) Goldy Berry is a caterer, who, when one of her friends dies, finds herself on the case at first because she sees something that the lead detective, Tom Schultz, doesn’t see it (it’s food related, so, it does make sense). And then, she gets bitten by the amateur detective bug, and has to see the case through.

One big difference between this movie and the book is that while it’s based on the books, they have taken the husband character down to a much nicer level. He and Goldy aren’t always best friends in the movie, but, he's not in any way the same sort of character as in the book. Not surprising since while this is a mystery movie, it’s still a Hallmark mystery movie.

Dying for Chocolate: A Curious Caterer Mystery

[taylorkellyreporting]

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: curious caterer: dying for chocolate

so, i’ve seen parts of the first two movies and i do know who the killer is in this one but i’ve never fully watched either of them so i thought it’d be fun to liveblog all 3!!

off topic but nikki is so beautiful

not biscuits 😭

i wonder if laura still would’ve died if brad hadn’t interrupted her when she was trying to talk to goldie about what was going on

brad, she’s just not that into you

or maybe she is, since she just asked him out? lmao

“marla!” “that is exactly what these shortbread said when i walked in. they went ‘marla.’ they called my name and now we’re in love.” “well, as long as the beignets weren’t talking to you. archie dennison is already in a committed relationship with them.” “ooh, i wonder if adele knows? maybe she’ll catch him in the act with the beignets.” i love them 😭😭

i love that goldie and richard have such a good relationship, it’s way better than when the ex husband is an asshole

tom was such a jerk in the beginning 😭

so glad goldie and brad didn’t end up together, nikki and antonio have zero chemistry

owen comforting goldie and telling her to let him know if he can help with laura’s funeral like he didn’t kill her

i wonder if laura was having an affair with archie or if she was helping julian

mason is so scared of tom, it’s hilarious

“well, you were definitely trespassing this time.” “you gonna arrest me?” “don’t tempt me.” that was so flirty???

“i was just in surgery and handed over the scalpel.” goldie’s face was priceless 😭

“detective. did you come to arrest me?” “i’m beginning to think you wanna be arrested.” she just really wants him to put her in handcuffs

OH SHIT, BRAD WAS LAURA’S EX?

goldie’s face when marla told her laura and brad were together is sending me so bad

“brad and i are having dinner.” “…oh.” not his voice going up like two octaves 😭 my guy is jealous

“maybe you could be there, too.” i don’t think he’s interested in being a third

“i should bring a date.” the way he said it…he was trying to make her jealous, too lmao

mason is so adorable

“i imagined an affair.” “did you imagine the same thing with your first husband?” dfkgkd

“i used to have a major crush on goldie when she was my babysitter.” “really?” “she used to bring me delicious treats in mason jars. thought she had the jars specifically made for me.” LMAO. tom is trying so hard not to laugh 😭

woah, brad was gonna propose

i did not know they entertained the idea of marla being the killer

“i’m surprised you lasted three years” lmaooo goldie’s so shady

owen is insane

“i was closer.” i love goldie

can’t wait for them to go canon 🫶🏼

fucking mason 😭

this was a solid introduction but so far, the sequel is still my favorite!!

[gaelic-diary-holder-returns]

Got a free trial to Hallmark to watch The Curious Caterer which is based upon Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Shultz novels and boy was it bad, Goldy’s espresso habit and the Rocky Mountain setting were both taken out and also Goldy was played by an ex model, she should be sort and fat since she’s a chef for goodness sake.

Azul was gone, in much a similar manner as Cater — the only evidence serving that he was there being the shattered glasses that now lay on the ground.

“AZUL!” Jade was too late though, and this was the most emotion that he had really shown that night; the bottled emotions finally coming to the surface. 

He knelt down and carefully picked up the glasses, paying no mind to the tiny shards that pricked at his skin through his gloves. Paying no mind to the pinpricks of scarlet that had begun to stain the white fabric. And he stared at the broken glass; in a way, it represented their night. Normal enough at first, but once you got too close, it cuts at you and makes you bleed… it hurts you. And Jade was hurting, he had been since he had found the Prefect’s body earlier that night. 

There was no time though; to mourn, to panic, to freeze. Time would come later, now was the time for action; to stop this here and now.

“Sorry,” Jade breathed, dusting himself off, and pocketing Azul’s glasses. “Are you both alright?”

Silver and Vil both looked at Jade, taking in the slight tremble of his hands as well as the pinpricks of blood that stained his gloves. The calm mask had slipped for a mere second, but they both knew that this affected Jade just as much as it affected them.

“None of us are alright,” Vil sighed, massaging his temples. “And you don’t need to apologize; it’s okay to not be alright… especially in this situation.”

Silver nodded his head in agreement. “If it were Malleus… I would have the same reaction,” he whispered. “You’re strong, Jade.”

Jade pursed his lips but said nothing, instead just offering them both a silent nod; he got the message, but he also knew this was neither the time nor place to lose control of himself. 

“But if the teacher’s lounge wasn’t the room–” Silver mused.

“The library,” Vil exclaimed, eyes widening at the realization. “Think about it; where was Rook at the beginning of all this? The library!” Vil calmed himself down though, since that outburst was quite unlike him. “And if Cater and Azul are being held there, that’s where they will likely be.”

Silver and Jade looked at each other before looking back at Vil, and they followed after him, hands on their pens; ready for the worst, but hoping for the best. Because hope was the only thing that they had now.

…

…

The library was brightly lit up, almost harshly so. And although it was bright, the brightness cast equally as dark shadows.

Rook was nowhere to be seen, and that was both reassuring and a cause for dread. If he wasn’t here, he could be anywhere — hiding.

“Stay together,” Vil murmured, taking the lead again.

Silver and Jade looked at each other, each of them taking to a side of Vil; Silver to his left, and Jade to his right. 

“MhmMMMMM!” 

Muffled yelling; at least one of them was alive.

Following the muffled sounds, Vil, Silver and Jade found themselves in a sheltered alcove of the library. And amongst the dusty books that rarely got any use was Cater, who was looking at the trio with tears in his eyes, and Azul, who was currently unconscious.

They were both alive. And while the trio felt tremendous relief that they were both alive, they couldn’t help but question why. 

Why did Rook spare them? Why did he kill Crowley? Why did he kill Crowley and Professor Crewel with magic, yet he slit the Ramshackle Prefect’s throat? Expired love potions caused some nasty side effects, but nothing to this level of violence and bloodlust.

Jade acted first though, cutting Cater free of his bounds first; using the broken glass from Azul’s glasses to cut through the ropes. 

Once Cater was free of the ropes, he ripped the gag off, taking it heaving breaths. “Get out,” he hissed, gripping Jade’s shoulders. “He’s planning something and you need to get out!”

Jade stared into Cater’s eyes and nodded, and took his hands off his shoulders before moving over to Azul. “We will, but not without both of you,” he said just loud enough that Cater could barely make it out.

Vil and Silver covered Jade as he cut through Azul’s ropes, and then carried his house warden like a bag of potatoes over his shoulder. Yes, he would be livid once he woke up, but this allowed Jade to carry Azul while wielding his pen, should he need to protect himself, Azul, or the group.

And right as they were about to cross the threshold of the library’s doors, they slammed shut, and all the lights died out.

It was a trap, but I already knew that. It was too easy. Vil thought to himself, and brought out his pen, illuminating their immediate area in a purple glow.

“Ah, leaving so soon?” Rook’s voice called out from the darkness, a breathy chuckle echoing off the walls.

Vil grabbed a book, and while the others were looking at him with shock — since now is not the time to read — he paid them no mind. “It seems that you caught us,” he answered, hoping that some banter would allow him to do what he needed to do. 

Give me a few minutes of time, please. Vil looked into the darkness, searching for that familiar face. “It is awfully rude of you though, to leave your guests in the dark. After all, you can only see the fairest of them all with proper lighting.”

Leave, get out now. Vil’s message got across though, and using the third-year’s distraction, Jade (still with Azul over his shoulder), Silver and Cater managed to slip through the door.

“Roi du Poison, what are you planning? Do you think I would be so foolish to accept anything from you knowing how your unique magic works?” Rook finally stepped out from the darkness, just enough to where he was faintly visible.

Vil quirked his brow at Rook and shook his head, “No, I know you well enough.” But do you know me when I’ve been backed into a corner? “And I know that the real Rook wouldn’t do any of this. It’s the duty of the beautiful to take responsibility for all of their choices. So — Take. Responsibility.” Vil hissed, his grip tightening on the book. 

Rook cocked his head, staring at Vil with empty eyes, the sclera still stained black. “Why does the cat chase the mouse, even though its food dish is full? Why does someone hunt, but not for food?” Rook mused, taking a few steps closer, not breaking eye contact with Vil.

Just a bit closer.

“For sport. For the thrill,” Vil tutted. “Was that what all of this was for then? For you to just have fun hunting down your professors and peers just because you were bored?!”

Rook stopped walking, just an arm's distance away from Vil. “No, it wasn’t fun; they didn’t know…”

Now.

Vil took a breath, stealing his nerves. “You trapped yourself, and you shall remain trapped until we find a way to fix this,” he placed a hand on Rook’s shoulder, and once Rook looked at Vil’s hand in curiosity, Vil pushed the book he was holding to Rook’s chest.

Remain trapped until we find a way to fix this.

And the book sucked Rook into its pages; a prison of paper. And Vil slumped to the floor. Out of relief — that for now, it was over — but also exhaustion. He was so tired.

And while, yes, Rook was now caught, he and the others still had far to go. With reporting everything that had happened. To figuring out how to free Rook and reverse the effects of the potion. To working through the trauma they all had lived through, since this whole ordeal definitely had taken its toll on all of them.

[18 May 2022] Hello! I really loved your game so thank u so much for making it. Ren completely stole my heart! I wanted to ask, do you think would be into a very submissive MC, or it’s something that is not to his liking?

TY TY!!! ;w; 💕💕

He would be into you regardless! If you're talking about being submissive in a general sense, then Ren would LOVE it. I mean? He's /already/ looking out for you and catering towards all your wants and needs, so if his partner was willing to put in the effort and do the same for him? 💳💥💳💥hand in marriage pls💳💥

But if you mean submissive in a sexual sense, he'd still be down lmao. His real persona is naturally more dominant than his Haruko/"Ren" persona, so he'd be more than happy to take charge in the bedroom if that's what you prefer! He also babbles A LOT during sex, so there's the off chance of him unintentionally ordering you around without knowing it ("You're doing so well, squeeze me tighter.", "Your mouth feels great... Can you take more?", "Does that feel good? I want you to come for me.", etc.), and if he sees/feels you follow through with it? 💳💥your hand in marriage again pls💳💥💳💥 this time it's a beach wedding💳💥
