#Esme Lawrence: interactions

[elegancemultimuse]

Esme shook her head at Penny's words. "It's going to take effort if I want to look as good as you." She said as Esme felt that it would be more work than Penny seemed to think it was. Not that Esme liked to have all eyes on her. She had always been more of a blend in the background type. "I am just not feeling a big party tonight." Esme admitted as her social battery was pretty drained. The woman had enough that she'd had to do today, and was exhausted. "You can order whatever you want from my UberEats account." Esme said as that seemed like a pretty good trade off.

"Well it's not like you have to try really hard. It's kind of effortless from you," Penny suggested with a sweet smile before letting out an exaggerated sigh. "I mean I'm pretty sure but I'm not going to drag you out of here against your will." As much as Penny had wanted to socialize, she did have another party the next night and she would rather stay home then push Esme beyond her capacity. She slid off her heels, actually grateful for the relief as she turned back into the apartment. "But you're paying for takeout. I have to warn you though, I am very hungry."

Esme was lost in her book and didn't hear someone approach her. As she turned the page to start the new chapter she noticed the shadow of someone standing next to her. She looked up with a small smile on her face. "Oh sorry, did you need something?" Esme asked as she was unsure if they were trying to get her attention or not.

[elegancemultimuse]

Esme looked over at her friend as she tried to enjoy spending time with the other. Although for some reason she couldn't shake the feeling that the two of them were being watched. Of course logically Esme knew that wasn't the case. The two of them were here on their own. Weren't they? (@snowedpeach)

[eleganceashton]

Continued  || @eternalashton​ (Beth) 

“Beth, I love and appreciate you so much. I want you to be happy because you deserve it.” Esme said, knowing that Sam really didn’t deserve Beth as far as Esme was concerned. It seemed her best friend was always upset about something that he had did and she hated it. Esme had come here as a bit of a mess but now she wanted to focus on her friend even though her friend wanted to focus on her. However she knew she couldn’t avoid Beth’s questions forever. “I slept with Ethan.” She said, the words tumbling out of her mouth.

[elegancemultimuse]

Esme's body felt as though it was lighting up with each kiss. The feeling was shooting tingles through her entire body as she kissed Dana back. Each second seemed to make her crave even more from the other.

Dana pulled Esme close and locked lips with her. This was going right for the deep end, a passionate intense kiss against her new girlfriend. She sat down on the bed and pulled Esme down with her, Dana's larger frame with Esme in her lap.

Season 6 Episode 1 Black Tuesday

My first watch-through comments are below the cut. Spoilers!

Lizzie is fine as fuck and honestly who cares if she used to be a prostitute she is too good for Tommy. Her whole opening spiel about being a coward, Okk. I stan these peaky women.

I do feel bad for Tommy though.

Ohh ok is the mud on half his face supposed to be symbolic?

That third body is NOT Polly. Please!!

9 minutes and 30 seconds in and I’m crying

Wiping my tears “oh that’s a cute little puppy”

I don’t care what anyone says, Michael is hot

Tommy’s sober four years. Hell yeah!

Ada’s little girl Elizabeth, omg my heart!

Also Arthur is a HOT MESS!

Ok so Michael is hot but why is his right hand man so Irish? And they are being extremely mean to Tommy, not gonna lie.

Why was there a fucking pigeon in the bar?

So where’s Linda? Obviously not here for Arthur to be this messed up.

I am actually rooting for Tommy. What Lizzie said about him since Polly’s death gets me. But like that was Michael’s Mum? But I know Polly was basically Tommy’s mum. Ugh so hard to choose a side. A war is right.

Shit!! Tommy turned on Michael! That’s going to land him in jail! If Michael and these people of Jack's were actually good at their job, they would have checked the briefcase.

Ok Karl!!! I can't say anymore because that would be indecent of me but..

Honestly Ada is too good to be a Shelby. And poor thing has to deal with Arthur all by herself.

OMG BOSTON PRISON OH NO!! I’m laughing tho!

Ok no!! So she did have a baby!!! But Lawrence?! Not a fan!

Honestly, I love Gina. I never thought I’d say that but her fucking attitude in the jail, her mocking, yes I love her.

Is that their fucking house?! I thought it was a damn hotel.

This scene with Gina and Tommy is leaving me fucking speechless.

Oh no, he’s with a prostitute.

Wow, Ruby is sick, I hope it doesn’t get worse.

I really can’t tell if Tommy and Lizzie are in love or if it’s really gone. I hope there’s a bit left.

Ok but like remember when all last season Tommy was coughing? I’m skeptical. But honestly, I think he does love his kids! Something is really wrong with her because it’s gypsy stuff and it’s bad and damn I loved this scene! Tommy really loves her! Whatever is wrong with Ruby is why he’s going to see Esme!

Ok but talking about Michael’s wife like that, that’s a low blow even for you Tom. But Michael is dedicated and so in love!

I nearly cried when it said Helen McCrory Obe.

                 WANNA' LEAVE MY OLD LIFE BEHIND  . 

the students of halloway will be hosting a summer pool party to get away from the heat of the day  .  it’ll be held at the indoor university pool  ,  with music  and kegs stolen from the alleyway  bar  ,  and  liquor  .  food will be made during the day  ,  and served in large quantities  ,  most of it likely going to waste by the end of the party  .  the party has been advertised as optional  ,  but you know deep down that it’s not really a request  .  if you don’t party  ,  then you work   --  and leadership has made it as simple as that  .  

 thunder begins to roll in  ,  and maybe the students are thankful for the possibility of rain  .  however  ,  as the storm approaches  ,  you’ll notice a change in the atmosphere  .  it’s suddenly incredibly hot  ,  more so even now that the sun has set  .  no chance of rain has been gifted from the sky  ,  and instead--  a heat storm has brewed over what’s remaining of halloway  .  but wait---  this is no ordinary storm  ,  is that lightening green ?  thunder crackles  ,  and neon emerald strikes across the sky  ,  leaving you with more questions than you have answers  .  you’ve never seen anything like this before  .  

the midst of picked up winds  ,  the power flickers with uncertainty  ,  before everything has gone dark   ,  completely  .  somehow  ,  you’ve found yourself in a group the moment the lights turned off  ,  and it’s up to you to decide whether or not you stick it through with the people you’re stuck with----  or ignore mother nature’s warning signs entirely  .  

somehow  ,  even with the event derailed  ,  our party goers aren’t ready to give up the summer fun just yet  .  after all  ,  if it’s the end of the world- they sure knew how to party like it was  .  the pool still remains open  ,  and the janitor’s room has been raided for supplies to keep it going  .  all hands on deck  ,  and the indoor party keeps on keeping on  ,  with glow torches found in the supply room  ,  and an old radio stashed away from the 90′s  .  with it  ,  all the tracks you’ve had saved on your playlist before  ,  are switched out for burnt cd’s from the early 2000′s  ,  as the power still remains off  .

The Handmaid’s Tale 3x07 Thoughts and first half of Season 3 Review

Okay gonna break it down by the story lines that were going on here. This episode seriously went absolutely nowhere, but made sure we still got some of that token Gilead suffering just to remind us--again--how horrible this place can be.

1.June/Hannah/Mrs. Lawrence

June had no plan. What was she going to do once she saw Hannah? Say Hi? Mrs. Lawrence is also a mystery. We had ample chance to learn about her and Joseph, but nothing of substance really came up. I liked the narrative in ep 5 about their courtship with the cassette tapes. But we haven't gotten much beyond that. If we're spending so much time on June at the Lawrence's, why can't we explore who they are? Lawrence is a conundrum but beyond those few scenes in eps 2 and 3, we haven't seen him and June interact in any meaningful way. And Mrs. Lawrence comes off as a recluse who's gone crazy and is some version of a hysterical woman who can't handle things and honestly, that seems like a disservice in a series that is supposed to prioritize the story lines of women in this society.

1.5 June/OfMatthew

Okay the instant we met OfMatthew they tried to make it seem like she couldn't be trusted. June made a couple of attempts to try and feel her out, but it hasn't worked so far. I'm tired of them doing that thing where they imply there is more to the character, but never actually explore it. This girl is pregnant for like...the fourth time poor thing. But then she's "saving June's life"? Why is Aunt Lydia asking her to keep tabs on June anyway? I get why June lashes out afterwards and one thing I love love loved was the Handmaids instantly shielding her from the guardians. But...in the end OfMatthew's actions ended up costing the life of Hannah's Martha and no direct repercussions to June. 

Why is June spared? I feel like she's been able to get away with way too much at this point. At the Waterford house it made more sense because there was so much more at stake and they were all somehow involved. But now? Here? June is just being stupid and going nowhere. And OfMatthew is a question I really want answered but feel like it probably won't happen.

2. Emily & Moira

Loved it. Absolutely. Not nearly enough. I want Emily coming out of her shell, figuring out the kind of person she has become, how she copes, her leaning on Moira for support. Her realizing that she can fight from the outside. This was too short. Moira and Emily MADE IT OUT. We need their stories, their voices. It doesn't just end once they're out. As the series moves forward, there NEEDS to be more of a focus on Canada and the refugee experience of these characters that we watched suffer and become another version of themselves in Gilead. It won't detract from the narrative, it'll just shift it. In it's natural direction imo.

3. The Waterfords in DC

Again, this went absolutely nowhere . We have this mystery new commander and Esme Cullen and they seem to have something to offer, but nothing has moved forward. Dirty politics? Adultery? Ooh ahh -_- but nothing has actually...happened? 

We already saw last ep that Fred and Serena were well on their way to repairing their relationship. I do like the notion that they work best when they're plotting something together or working towards something together. Serena wants her power back and ironically, working on par with Fred is what makes their relationship thrive. Even though she worked with him to build a world in which all the power is stripped from women. But since this has already been set in motion, why the dance? Figuratively and literally lol. Give. Us. Forward. Movement.

Overall S3 Thoughts so far:

Why is it so stagnant this season? Even if Hulu is ordering more episodes and they want to stretch it out, at least give us some new content, some new stories. I would KILL for Janine or Alma's backstories. Why not go that route? We all know by this point that Janine isn't actually crazy and Alma we have zero knowledge of but know she seems to have been involved in the resistance from pretty early on. Tell us about Alma! And through her, tell us about the resistance~!!!!!!~!~@!!!!

The world of Gilead was already established early on in the series and we've seen little sprinkles of how it came to be through backstories and elements of the Handmaids' daily routines. GIVE US SOMETHING NEW. AGH. We don't need to see more suffering, more executions. I thought this season was going to be about fighting back! There is literally so much that goes unsaid, so many untapped characters that are made to be nuanced but nothing about them is ever actually explored.

Seven episodes in and what's new? 

- June has a new posting but we still know nothing concrete or valuable about the Lawrence's or about the resistance movement which seems to at least partially operate out of that house

- The baby is safe in Canada with Luke and Moira, butwe know nothing about their lives there. What's it like living as a refugee? With a baby? We get some of that just now in 3x07 with Emily and Moira, but like I mentioned above, it's not nearly enough. It's like a little tease? Like the potential is THERE why not dedicate more screen time to this story?

- June told Luke the truth, but we haven't seen Luke in 2 episodes and we only really saw his reaction to the recording as he listened to it. Did he tell Moira? How is he coping? What is Moira thinking? 

- Serena pulled her usual "j/k Ima do what suits me not you" and Fred is along for the ride to like...gain more power? We see a new Commander come into play here but after two eps we still know nothing? we're just...kinda suspicious.

- Nick has been so MIA it's not even funny. He gets promoted but we really don't know why/how? He gets deployed but was hanging around DC for those few weeks after he said goodbye to June? June finds out some (not-so-surprising) info about her baby daddy but we don't see her cope with it or address it at all?

Look at all these BUTS

The stories are being set up but not fully executed and I can't fathom WHY. Also, these setups could have been done in maybe 4-5 episodes instead of SEVEN. 

Hulu has been really quiet about the second half of the season which I think we are officially entering into now with Ep 8. So maybe everything picks up like crazy at the end. Here's hoping. 😞

[elegancemultimuse]

@hellraisxrs  asked: 💍 //for Esme maybe? from any of my muses you'd like!

Esme blinked her eyes a couple of times. She didn't really remember how she'd gotten to this point. She rolled over and noticed Erica next to her. This didn't serve to answer that many questions but she was glad that she wasn't alone. The last thing Esme remembered was drinking the night before.

[elegancemultimuse]

Closed  || @wxnderstrxck​ (Laurel) 

Esme found Laurel very cute, but she was far too shy to act on it. So instead she always found herself coming into the bookstore as an excuse to talk to the other girl. Today in particular she was determined to try to make a good impression. “So, I finished that last book you recommended and loved it. I was hoping you’ve got some more suggestions for me.”

[eleganceashton]

"You know me, I just stress myself out about things." Esme replied as she knew that Ethan had seen her in some of her worse moments. She just couldn't seem to control herself when it came to overthinking. Esme was just thankful that her and Ethan were able to give each other a lot of patience. "I've been hoping to see that one. The reviews are all pretty good."

Ethan nodded, “It will be over before you know it.” He tried to reassure her, but he remembered it being hard from the little he’d done. “Alright..” He nodded, “That works for me I guess.” He told her with a small smile. “I was thinking maybe be new inside out 2 movie. I heard it’s good.” He shrugged, the first thing coming to mind. @eleganceashton

[elegancemultimuse]

eternalmultimuse​:

“Alright, Tuesday it is. I will have a look at the options for us and we can take it from there.” He said with a shrug. He did think he had seen a few adverts of some movies that looked good, so he just hoped they would be out by then. “If not you can never go wrong with food, in my opinion.”

“That sounds great. I’ll look too.” Esme replied knowing it would be good to be familiar with the options as well. She was just glad that Enzo wasn’t one of those guys that expected the woman to do all the planning. “Definitely a good option as well.”

[elegancemultimuse]

OPEN: Female, Male, Nonbinary. CONNECTION: Friend, romantic partner roommate, etc. PLOT: Esme is exhausted and is just looking for a night in to relax but everyone around her just seems to want to party. She hopes to convince your muse that her idea of fun is worth while. Where this goes is up to you.

Esme let out a small hum. “I just want to cozy up in bed while I eat candy and have a Halloweentown marathon. Is that too much to ask?” She pondered as everyone else seemed to want to go out and party. Esme was in more of a staying in mood and she was hoping not to do it alone. “What do I have to do to convince you to hangout with me?”

[elegancemultimuse]

Esme was trying to believe Sabine's words. She wanted to believe that it wasn't about her, yet she was the one who had been naive enough to think that the man actually cared about her. Esme should have thought with her brain and not with her heart. "I don't understand why people mess with someone's feelings for a game. It's cruel." She added as Esme was certain that sort of thing would have ended when she finished high school. Yet here Esme was as an adult and dealing with the same problems. "Well now I don't really know what I can trust. I thought he was sweet but that clearly isn't true. So was anything he even told me true or was it all just lies?"

brunette wishes that she could simply take femme's pain away , knowing the feeling all too well herself . "it's all just a game to them these days ," sabine's being honest , lips pursing in a thin line as she shrugs . "it had nothing to do with you , okay ?" she assures as she gives her friend a small smile . she ponders , humming softly . "tell me more about him ? i'm sure we can come up with something ."

[elegancemultimuse]

OPEN: Female, male, nonbinary CONNECTION: Friend, stranger, romantic partner. PLOT: Esme spends her entire life reading. She is lost in her own mind until someone comes along to break her from her trance.

Esme spent way too many nights in the library. At this point if someone was trying to find her, this would be the first place they should logically look. However, tonight she had outdone even herself. It was dark out, the sun having set many hours before. Yet here she was with books in her arms. She looked through the stacks in a bit of a trance, looking for a particular book that she knew was in stock but didn’t appear to be in the right place. After some time, she found it, only to be interrupted by the shadow of a figure. Esme turned a bit startled, as she thought she was alone. “What are you doing here?” 

[elegancemultimuse]

OPEN: Males/nonbinary CONNECTION: Sister’s roommate

Esme’s sister had texted her earlier to ask her to drop by her place to pick up some important papers for her. So here she was letting herself into her sister’s apartment. What she didn’t expect was to find her roommate in the Livingroom with their pants around their ankles and their aroused member in their hand. “Oh jesus, I’m sorry.” She said, and looked away awkwardly. “My sister asked me to get something for her. I didn’t know you were home.”
