A Simple Favor (2018, Paul Feig)

22/12/2023

A Simple Favor is a 2018 film directed by Paul Feig.

The film, starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, is the film adaptation of the 2017 novel A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell.

Stephanie Smothers is a widowed single mother who runs a recipe vlog.

One day Emily calls her friend and tells her that she has a serious problem at work, so she asks Stephanie to babysit Nicky while she is busy, because Sean has flown to London to assist his mother, who is hospitalized with a fractured femur. After two days in which Emily gives no news and does not answer her calls, a worried Stephanie contacts her employer, Dennis Nylon, who hastily informs her that Emily is in Miami.

A fan of Stephanie's blog reports seeing Emily at a gas station in Michigan, then alerts the police who actually find the car near a summer camp and Emily's body drowned in the nearby lake. Detective Summerville, who continues the investigation, reveals to Stephanie that the autopsy on Emily found severe liver damage, a large amount of heroin in her body, and puncture marks in her arm and between her toes. Added to this, Sean recently took out a $4 million life insurance policy on Emily.

Emily is arrested after being hit by a car driven by Stephanie's friend, who was watching the live stream.

The final text explains that Emily was sentenced to 20 years in prison; that Sean's second novel became a New York Times bestseller and that he is a successful professor at Berkeley; Stephanie's vlog reached a million followers and turned into a morning show, and she also became a part-time private detective. Emily is in prison and winning a basketball game.

Filming of the film began on August 14, 2017 in Toronto.

In the United States the film was banned for children under 17 due to the presence of "sexual content, nudity, bad language, drug use and violence".

On the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film received 85% positive professional reviews with an average rating of 6.9 out of 10 based on 204 reviews, while on Metacritic it obtained a score of 67 out of 100 based on 40 reviews.

In May 2022 Prime Video announced the start of production of the sequel; the direction will always be entrusted to Paul Feig, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick will return to the cast, while the screenplay will be written by Jessica Sharzer, who will also cover the role of producer together with Feig.

i need incesty mystery novels

I am terrible at book recommendations because I can't remember the books I've read very well and I haven't read very many books.

I did come up with a few titles, though:

Brother/Sister (Sean Olin) Dark Rooms (Lili Anolik) Simple Favor, A (Darcey Bell) Sleeping Murder (Agatha Christie) Truth About The Savolta Case, The (Eduardo Mendoza)

These are all mystery books with canon incest of some kind. (Sleeping Murder is more just suggestive.) All bro/sis. I can't actually call them recommendations or shippy, though.

Everyone should please share any recommendations they have.

No Home for a Hero - Ch1

So, I guess, some context - This story is kinda the main reason I got an account to begin with. I wanted to post this somewhere, but had no clue where to go, and eventually decided to try here... and then promptly forgot to actually post the story, and got tangled up in YouTube and decided to post it THERE instead, reading it aloud myself. Felt like I should at LEAST return here and leave a text-based version.

You can find the audio version on YouTube Here.

No Home for a Hero

The village bell rang out across the countryside. Mid-morn was upon the land; the farmers were hard at work in the fields, the fishermen were off to the riverside for today’s catch, and the priests… Well, their studies and prayers were interrupted for whatever reason had been brought about for them to ring the bell. The world was already awake - the bell was just a small reminder of what time of day it was.

For some, however, it was more than a small reminder. It was a wake-up call.

Anni shot out of bed, adrenaline coursing through her veins. Rushing to get on her robes, she accidentally stubbed her toe on the corner of her bed. That wouldn’t stop her from her one goal, however, as she pushed past the pain and continued readying herself as fast as her body could move. One simple thought bounced around in Anni’s skull:

I’m late.

Before stumbling out the door of her room, Anni stopped to make sure she had all her notes and charms gathered. There would be no time for breakfast, as her finals had already begun, but forgetting something as basic as her training medallion would prove catastrophic. Nutrition could wait, but a sparkmage must have their tools prepared for the challenges ahead of them, and if Annibelle was going to be late, she was at least going to be well-prepared.

Most students were only there for mundane reasons. Some wanted the basic survival techniques with enhanced flare, some wanted skills to make their long days on the fields easier to manage, some wanted party tricks to knock the socks off of their friends. Others, like the Darcey boys, were there as a punishment for their misdeeds. Cow tippers aren’t exactly welcome around here. Anni, on the other hand, chose to go in order to live up to her mother’s legacy.

Medallion? Check. Diluted vials of Siren Tears? Check. Notes on Fulminology? Check. After making sure everything was where it needed to be, Anni made a mad dash down the stairs and out the door. Or, at least, she would have, if something hadn’t hit her in the middle of the kitchen. Not some magical epiphany or anything - Just a frying pan. Right in the gut.

As she curled up in pain from the crash and subsequent fall, her mother merely stood in shock, not sure what to think of the chaos in her kitchen, nor the scrambled eggs and daughter on the floor before her. After a few seconds of painful groans from Anni, her mother spoke.

“Anni… It’s the solstice. Classes aren’t happening.”

At a first glance, her mother would seem like no one special. Just another face in the ocean of faces. Only when you knew her name - Evelyn Cross Garner - would you understand her importance. Children’s books and historical texts may play up the glory of the war hero, but it’s undeniable that her wit and foresight helped the coalition win the war against the seemingly unstoppable regime so many years ago. Now hundreds of years old - at least, that’s what she’d like you to believe - Evelyn’s life has taken a calmer turn in retirement, and in the upbringing of her own children.

Anni took in a deep breath, the stranglehold of stress letting loose its grip as her mother’s reminder set in. “...Right. No finals.”

“Right! It’s going to be quite the party today. Aren’t you excited?” Evelyn picked up the pan and wiped it down before wandering over to the stove. “I hear Pastor Davis is going to prepare that Currant-Pear Streusel you like so much.”

Anni lay on her back, clutching her hands to her stomach. “That’s… nice.”

Evelyn gave her a concerned glance. “Aren’t you excited?”

“Mom, I just took a pan to the gut. Give me a bit.”

“That wasn’t intentional, I’ll have you know.”

Anni chuckled. “You sure?”

“Of course! I would have aimed for the face,” her mother said in a sarcastic tone.

“I don’t think I need another broken nose, mom.”

At that remark, her mother started laughing uncontrollably, and Anni joined in soon after. The scars of our past make good comedy for our present, as the two of them remembered the time Anni ran face-first into the barn doors, expecting them to magically open on their own.

But sometimes, the tragedies of our past will live on forever. Evelyn never moved on from hers; Annibelle’s middle name, Hazelwood, kept a simple homage to her lost sister. Evelyn’s heroism didn’t come from natural leadership. It didn’t come from love for the common folk. It didn’t come from raw power. It came from a sheer, undying want to find her sister and ensure her safety.

A wish which would never come true.

“Say… What was that for, anyways?” Anni stopped chewing to ask her mother a question.

“Hmm?”

“You know, the bell.” She took another large bite out of her breakfast.

“Oh, um…” Evelyn stopped to think.

“Ef noh suppoph poh ree on hodeeth,” Anni said through a mouthful of scrambled eggs.

“What?” Her mother inquired.

Anni swallowed her food. “It’s not supposed to ring on holidays.”

“Yeah, I don’t know what’s up with that.” Her mother paused. “Well, now that you’re up, why don’t you go down and find out?”

“Well…”

“Always good to get some exercise, you know.”

“I already got some when running down the stairs, mom.”

“Sure, but that was cut short, wasn’t it?” Evelyn laughed. Anni took another bite of her food, and once she was done, spoke up again.

“Fine, I’ll check it out.”

“Oh, while you’re out and about, would you be a dear and get me some orange juice from Jovi? I hear her plantation has ripened.”

“Sure thing, mom.”

Hazelwood - Annibelle’s middle name -  was a constant reminder of why she wanted to live up to her mother’s legacy. It wasn’t to find Hazel - It had been years since she was last seen, and she was most likely dead -if not worse - by this point. Instead, it was to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves.

Evelyn failed to save her sister. There was no way to go back and fix that mistake; but Anni would make sure another one just like it wouldn’t happen on her watch. With her newly acquired skills and talents, the aspiring sparkmage could protect the innocent, standing tall where her mother stood before.

Well, once classes were finished tomorrow, that is. Finals were just around the corner, after all.

The heart of the town was busier than usual for a Holiday. The commotion could be heard from quite a distance away - whatever had brought the village together had also stirred them to unrest. The streets were eerily barren, yet the roar of the crowd made it feel like the place was on fire. Trudging cautiously down the empty paths, Anni made her way towards the church at the center of town, where everyone had likely gathered.

Turning yet another corner, her assumption was right - the crowd came into view, all piled in the large courtyard before the steeple. It didn't seem violent, but the harsh glares from everyone's faces as they yelled endlessly at one another made it clear that something wasn't right. At the edge stood some people smart enough to not get involved; The Darcey boys leaned against the wall while laughing at the craze, Elder Alma was knitting away in a rocking chair from the second-floor balcony of her apartment, and Professor Maxwell sat on a bench a good distance away from the commotion.

“Professor?” Anni asked, the wave of noise being far enough that she didn’t need to raise her voice.

The Professor spun his head around. "Oh? Hello, Annibelle!"

"Professor, you can just call me Anni."

"And you can call me Max, Annibelle." The professor smiled and laughed. "I see you've got some fashion sense," he said, eying her training robes

"I- Yes, I do. I thought today was Finals…" She slumped down in mild defeat and embarrassment. 

“Hah! No, that’s tomorrow.”

Anni rolled her eyes. “Trust me, I know that now…”

"Well, considering what kind of a riot might turn up here,” Professor Maxwell gestured towards the crowd in front of them mid-sentence, “maybe you can put what you've learned to good use!"

"I don't think I have the right tools to call lightning right now, Professor."

"Of course not! That would be overkill.”

“And it would be very unlike you to not have that at the ready.”

The professor burst into a hearty fit of laughter. “Ah, Annibelle, you know me too well.”

"So, Professor-"

The professor cut her off. "Please, Annibelle, just Max."

"Max, what's going on here?"

"I’m… Honestly unsure. The king sent out a surveyor, I think?" He turned to look at the crowd, a stumped frown taking form on his face. “I’m unsure why the crowd got so riled up by a story, nor why that’s what the survey was for.”

"A story?" Anni asked, puzzled.

"Yes.” He paused for a second, collecting his thoughts. “The surveyor said something about protecting our civilization's culture in case we all get wiped out from a war."

“Seriously?”

“Yes, Anni. There is that war in the east, you know?”

“But those are Naval battles!” Anni responded frantically in confusion. “And they’re thousands of miles away!”

“Well, I guess someone made a compelling argument to get this done, then.”

“Or our King is a wuss,” Anni said, rolling her eyes. This wasn’t the first weird decision he’d made while in power, and it probably wouldn’t be the last, either.

“Whatever the case, I’m sure-”

Maxwell was cut off by one loud, clear, booming voice that outdid the entire crowd.

“WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP FOR HALF A SECOND?”

The crowd fell silent. Anni took this moment of clarity to rush her way towards the front of it all to try and see who was talking. It wasn’t any voice she recognized, that’s for sure; It was likely the surveyor, but anyone with the power to bring order to a chaotic gathering was a leader, and leaders were often heroes. And if this was a hero… Maybe this was one who fought alongside her mother in the storybooks.

“I am sick and tired of these stupid arguments. Who cares about the condiments the dragon used to fry the frog? That’s not the point of the story to begin with!”

Pushing her way to the front of the crowd was anything but an easy task - Anni struggled to find a path through the densely packed horde. Who could it be? Peaking over the heads of the swarm of people, she couldn’t make out any faces.

A person from the crowd chimed in. “Well, what else do you want? It’s in the name of the tale! The Dragon and the Frog!”

After finding a small gap and making a good dash forwards, Anni misjudged the ability to stop her own momentum, crashing into the backside of someone who shuffled into her path at just the wrong time.

The Surveyor spoke again. “It’s about the frog’s ignorance to the simple fact that he is a frog! The taste of the cooked frog is irrelevant!”

Apologizing quickly and getting back up to her feet, Anni continued her weaving through the crowd as thoughts weaved through her head. Was it Syr Danniel? Commander Eltwood? Prince Balst? Could she maybe learn how to be a hero by traveling abroad by the side of one of the classic protectors?

“You think it’s irrelevant!” the Woman retorted. “Our culture values the taste and flavors of plenty of ingredients! It does not matter if it is a local tradition. You are here to record everything you can, and this matters as much as anything else!”

Finally, after a crazy scramble to reach the front, Anni had made it… to be greeted by anything but who she expected. It shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise, but her hopes had been brought up, and now they were shot down as she looked at the man across the way who was addressing the lady.

His garb was… unique. A stetson sat atop his head, and the tattered jacket that lay across his torso looked like it would have perfectly suited an inventor. Strapped to his back was a sword unlike any she’d ever seen before - One that curved along its blade, carrying a hilt with no guard. A satchel rest against his hip, and he held a book open in his hand.

“Miss, I’ve a VERY strict deadline to meet, and I don’t want to waste it with the likes of this town and its petty arguments.” The man spun around. His brow was furrowed, channeling the anger of a lesser god, and his teeth were gritted as if he were, well, arguing with a stubborn peasant over the ownership of a single penny.

“Oh, REALLY now?” The woman stomped the ground in rage. “Is it REALLY so tight you cannot listen to something as simple as the seasoning of a frog?”

The man closed his eyes for a second, let out a hefty sigh, and turned to face her dead-on with a glare to kill. “Look, Miss, Yes.”

On that note, the sky split in half. The air turned to dust. Every color died, draining from all as a massive rift tore itself through reality behind the Surveyor. Like arms of the starved reaching for a loaf of bread, the rift struck the ground with immense force.

“Yes, my schedule IS that tight.”

The dirt and cobble was torn through like molten butter to a chainsaw, the fabric of reality pouring up in an inverted waterfall. The crowd’s shock turned to horror, their horror to panic. Some ran as fast as they could. Others couldn’t dare move a muscle, frozen in place by fear. The screams returned, but this time as a frenzied cry for help rather than a heated debate. In the panic, though, Anni tried to hold her ground and calm herself as she prepared to defend the town however she could. This was her shot.

But the roar of the crowd and bodies pushing their way past made it impossible to focus, as she kept rebalancing herself in the tide of people. It didn’t matter either way. The screams slowly died as the air turned to dust, the dust to stone, the stone to nothing and the nothing to a crushing end.

Yet… Despite the world dissolving around them, and the darkness encompassing everything to a point that it was impossible to see even a meter before you, the Surveyor took these last few moments to utter a simple phrase.

“Farewell, dumbasses.”

He Saluted, and all lost meaning.

Ringing.

It was all she could hear. All she could think. All she could see. There was nothing but ringing, and it was everywhere. It was everyone. It was everything. Ringing, ringing, ringing,

Until suddenly, it wasn’t.

Her eyes were wide open. Not out of choice; Anni couldn’t move a muscle, no matter how hard she tried. The ringing faded to a mild distraction, nagging her ears like a needy fly. Her thoughts returned, and she could see the world again… though lacking color. The saturation had been all drained but for a dim green glow on some of the people closest to her. The bustle of the crowd had been drowned into an eerie silence. All movement was frozen. All she could do was stare dead on at the rift in the world before her as its still image burned into her brain.

Well, the mostly still image.

With a heavy sigh, the Surveyor stretched out his arms and back. Blue eyes. He blinked a few times and let out a loud groan as he stretched again. Brushing his shoulders, his jacket froze in place the moment he took his hand off of it. “Yknow, I’m never gonna get used to this.” After a small pause and some more stretching, his glare turned straight to Annibelle. The small amounts of green turned blue as he approached, his eyes piercing her heart with a deadpan stare.

He grabbed her shoulder. She could feel it. She could feel everything. The force of a thousand stars and the power of the tide was burning through her flesh, bone, muscle and body, as though a talon had pierced her heart. She couldn’t scream, but if the chance was ever given to her in that moment, she could have shattered all the world’s glass.

“Yeah, you’ll do,” said the Surveyor, letting loose his grip. She began to fall. The world rose. The crushing pain only worsened, and she could feel her lungs collapsing. She fell through the earth, into the depths of whatever grave await her beneath the ground, choking on the dirt and stone the deeper she plunged. The ringing was gone, but a new thought took its place:

“Help”

With a blinding flash of light, the fires faded, her breath came back, a freezing sensation seared her blood, and the world disappeared around Annibelle.

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Darcey Bell • All I Want : A novel.

[heavenlylibrary]

“I got another beer and thought of Bell and me in a big apartment on Nob Hill, how we would have dark paintings and beautiful wooden bowls. Bell would have a job producing movies and I'd be a photographer and we'd eat tabouli and make our own Christmas cards and name our baby India. Our bed would be thick with patterned blankets, quilts and cranberry satin pillows. But the dream place bled into a starker room, Bell asleep on the futon, me awake at the window—our life as raw and painful as a bloody bone.”

- From Suicide Blonde by Darcey Steinke

Veiled Memories: The Demon's Prophecy

The memory of the flash of green light I saw before crashing my car deliberately into a cliff is vague and surprisingly etched into the core of my remembrance. I don't remember why I crashed my car, but it earned me a perfectly round scar on my cheek, branding me permanently.

That is the only memory that my mind decided to keep. After the incident, I suffered a concussion and was in a coma for an entire month. I forgot everything about who I was and who my family was, although one thing is for sure: I was abnormal. I was stuck forever in a void of unfamiliarity with myself.

Two weeks after gaining consciousness, the hospital nurse fed me some bland gruel. I tried, with difficulty, not to make a face. Bright lights attached to the ceiling blinded me. Suddenly, someone banged harshly on the door of my room, forcing the nurse to turn her back to me, causing the gruel from the bowl to spill onto my lap. 

"Oh no, I am so sorry for that, Miss Darcey. I'll clean it up after opening the door," exclaimed the nurse. I shook my head and smiled at her, putting her at ease. Though, one thing was bothering me. The nurse was the first person who called me something other than "patient number 52" during my stay here at the hospital. The name Darcey rang a bell in my head.

After the nurse opened the door, a young woman barged inside. She was at least a head taller than me, with long silver hair flowing down her slender back, glowing in the hospital lights. She was wearing a beige business suit and high-heeled court shoes. She had an angular face and large, bambi eyes. 

She asked the nurse to leave the room, and the nurse obeyed without objection. When the two of us were left alone, she pointed her finger at the spilt gruel, making it disappear. Furthermore, she touched the scar on my cheek, and the next few moments were indescribable. 

I arched my back in agony and felt myself flying through another void, leaving behind uncertainty. I relived all the moments from my birth to the accident in a matter of seconds. I heard my mother's voice in the void.

"Linda Darcey, you are not a mere human. You are a demon who needs training to battle witches." Then I heard the divine prophecy delivered by my uncle on my 18th birthday. 

"You will crash in a garden of green lights, killing the last one of the impure kind (the witches) with a heavy price to pay".

Suddenly, I felt myself jerk back into the present.

"I feel like I do not need to introduce myself now," my demon sister Kat said while curling her mouth. "That scar stored your lost memories, and I am happy you got them back."

ICC Awards 2023: Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal are two of the nominees

Jaiswal received a nomination for the ICC Emerging Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2023, while Suryakumar was one of the four candidates for the ICC Men’s T20 Cricketer of the Year 2023.

Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal of India received nominations for the ICC Awards 2023 on Wednesday.

Jaiswal received a nomination for the ICC Emerging Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2023, while Suryakumar was one of the four candidates for the ICC Men’s T20 Cricketer of the Year 2023.

After winning the award in 2022, the 33-year-old Indian dominated 2023 in the shortest format, amassing 733 runs from 17 innings at a strike rate of 155.95 and an average of 48.86. In men’s T20 cricket, Suryakumar’s century was the second-fastest for India after Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball score against the same opponent in 2017. India won by a commanding 91 runs.

Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe, Alpesh Ramjani of Uganda, and Mark Chapman of New Zealand are the other three nominees.

In addition to Jaiswal, the leading batsman of New Zealand, Rachin Ravindra, South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee, and Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Madushanka are the other contenders for the title.

Within the women’s division, Ellyse Perry, the past two-time recipient of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year (2019 and 2017), joins West Indies all-around legend Hayley Matthews, England spin specialist Sophie Ecclestone, and Chamari Athapaththu of Sri Lanka, who was in brilliant form throughout the year.

The nominees for Emerging Women’s Cricketer of the Year are Phoebe Litchfield from Australia, Lauren Bell from England, Marufa Akter from Bangladesh, and Darcey Carter from Scotland.
