In honor of my birthday I'm sharing some blogs and stories that I love and mean the world to me!

@separatist-apologist

MB's works are always such a delight to read! They hold so much heart and creativity and I've been so grateful for her in the fandom! She is wonderful and supportive and has made tumblr a nicer place to be. Between the elucien and feysand love, the random posts that brighten my day, and everything else--MB, I'm so grateful for you!

>>All of the Girls You Loved Before--This fic was such a delight. I don't even know where to begin. I was obsessed with it from the first few paragraphs and it just turned into something so incredible! There was something so beautiful and unique about this story, I couldn't get enough of it!

>>Neon in the Nighttime--This. This is what fanfic is supposed to be, in my humble opinion, take the blorbos and put them where they certainly do not belong and chaos. Idk man, this one is just so much fun and I LOVE IT. Zombies and drama and the impending doom looming around every corner/chapter. It's such a great story!

>>A Lost Princess of Sunlight--of course I have to gush over this one! You started this as a gift in the acotarexchange, and still just blows my mind you took the effort and time to plan a multi-chapter fic for me/the event. AND ANASTASIA themes no less. I just, ugh. The vibes and the aesthetic are glorious and wonderous and I love how all the plot lines are working together and the certainty of doom and chaos that is bound to erupt. Chefs kiss.

And many more are worth the shoutout, but these three are the first that come to mind. MB is remarkable and we're lucky to have you here!

Twenty Questions

Thank you @i-am-the-hungryshark for tagging me! This is gonna be a chaotic mess but I am HERE for it. 

1. Do you make your bed? Most of the time. Otherwise I’ll end up back in it and working from there. 

2. Favorite number? 666. Just for the thrill of it. 

3. Your job? Currently I’m working as a freelance photographer and doing some ghost writing. But I’m trying to find something a bit more consistent that pays a living wage... which is so much harder than it should be to find.

4. If you could, would you back to school? Fuck no. Don’t get me wrong, I love learning and I had some wonderful teachers over the years but school in and of itself is the absolute worst. 

5. Can you parallel park? Yes. Do I like to? No. Will I drive around the block three times looking for literally any other parking spot? Yes.

6. A job you had which would surprise people? I don’t really think I’ve worked too many unusual jobs. I did work at a megachurch for a while, in multiple capacities actually, including as a preschool teacher, in the creative department, in youth ministry, young adult ministry, student ministry, and a million other roles over the years. I don’t think its super surprising to people who know me outside of Tumblr, because I'm definitely not the average Christian, but it can be surprising to some people. 

7. Are aliens real? Gods, I hope so. Being alone in the universe sounds terrifying.

8. Can you drive a manual car? Not well.

9. Your guilty pleasure? Peanut Butter M&M’s. 

10. Tattoos? I think they’re beautiful and sexy and glorious on other people but I could never have one. My aesthetic shifts back and forth so often from one extreme to the other that it just wouldn’t work for me.

11. Favorite color? It changes day to day but right now I’m loving that perfect shade of green that you see when you’re driving under a canopy of trees and the sunlight shines through the branches, casting everything in warm and perfect light. 

12. Things people do that drive you crazy? People that are rude to people in service roles are the very bane of my existence, the scum of the earth. As someone who has worked in all aspects of hospitality and guest services, I cannot stand people who are rude to waiters or servers or clerks or really anyone but I truly despise people who are rude to people they deem as less than themselves.

13. Any phobias? I’m terrified of rodents. Mice, rats, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, you name it I’m already crawling up onto the table to get away. On the bright side though, I’m not scared of spiders or snakes so I’ll gladly deal with them for you. I’m also ridiculously scared of being buried alive and I have that phobia that’s the fear of small holes. I couldn’t even watch the trailers for AHS, it was so bad. 

14. Favorite childhood sport? I did a little bit of everything growing up, soccer, basketball, track, cross-country, softball, volleyball, etc. But my favorite things (that I did year after year after year) were dance and cheer.

15. Do you talk to yourself? Sometimes, if I’m bored or proofreading. Or if I’m watching a horror movie waiting for the inevitable jump scare I get all singsongy and judge the characters decision-making process out loud. 

16. What movie(s) do you adore? Gosh, maybe everything? Movies are like magic on a bad day and there's so many that bring me comfort. The Princess Bride is obviously up there. Ever After, The Sound of Music, The Princess Diaries 2, Raiders, Empire Strikes Back, The Goonies, Prisoner of Azkaban (that's the best one and you can fight me on it), Miracle on 34th Street (the 90s version is perfection), The Untouchables, literally anything. 

17. Do you like doing puzzles? Sometimes. 

18. Favorite kind of music? I could never limit myself to one particular genre but right now I’m loving more folksy alt rock and anything slow and soothing and cottagecore by very definition. Folklore has obviously been on repeat.

19. Tea or coffee? Neither. If we’re talking hot drinks give me all the cocoa and cider. Otherwise I’m good with water. 

20. The first thing you remember you wanted to be when you grew up? Persephone. Being Queen of The Underworld and Goddess of Spring has always sounded like the perfect contradiction and I live for that kind of chaos.

This was fun! I’m tagging @crochetawayhpff @shortiemcbealle @alicia178 and @pinkprincesslauren don't feel like you have to do this unless you really want to but know that it’s a blast. ❤️

Cookies I Have From Cookie Run So Far! (And My Thoughts On Them)

Alright, I’ve gotten pretty far in Cookie Run: Oven Break, and I felt the need to share my thoughts on all the adorable cookies I’ve unlocked so far. So far, I have 50/100, so I’d say I’m making good progress. On to the list!

GingerBrave: The bravest boy. If this was a show, he’d clearly be the main character. I recently got him a little suit, so now he’s a gentleman! 

GingerBright: Sweet little lady. She looks like she’d be nice to get a coffee with or help you with homework. I definitely ship her with Brave, no doubt about it.

Strawberry Cookie: Precious baby! She’s super shy and I am compelled to protect her at all costs. Her pet is also a Tamagotchi, so she must be a gamer! Sweet!

Skater Cookie: HE WAS A SK8TER BOI! SHE SAID SEE YA LATER BOI! 

Zombie Cookie: This is one of the fastest zombies I’ve ever seen. They seem like a nice guy overall though.

Princess Cookie: Heck yes, a mischievous princess! Those are the best! I love her dress and hair bows. I bet she just pretends to get kidnapped for the lols.

Pilot Cookie: Is it just me, or is this little old man smaller than most of the other cookies? Whatever, he’s got a cute mustache and he’s adorable. Go and fly!

Vampire Cookie: As a vampire nerd, I immediately adored this guy. I will gladly give him grape juice and chill with him under the light of the moon. 

Gumball Cookie: Is this was Splatoon is like? This boi has a lot of chaotic energy and I like him.

Pistachio Cookie: I love this warrior woman so dang much. Look at that minty green hair! Her power is also SUPER helpful. She a speedy knight!

Pancake Cookie: HE’S A FLYING SQUIRREL! HE’S TOO CUTE I CAN’T EVEN! LET ME HUG THIS TINY CHILD!!!

Peppermint Cookie: Sweet baby. Good baby. My mom would probably adore this baby. (She loves mint and she’s not even a big sweets person.)

Muscle Cookie: As a lesbian, I’m not into big abs and muscles, but he’d probably be a good gym partner. Don’t mess with him is all I can say.

Cherry Cookie: Little Red Riding Hood got some bombs! I hope she and Gumball can go cause chaos on the weekends.

Hero Cookie: Precious nerdy boi with science! I saw his Island of Memories intro and his bond with Jellyco Cube is just the sweetest thing! Follow your superhero dreams, my baby!

Fairy Cookie: I didn’t know Tinkerbell was in this game! Also, I got her a bee costume and that looks super cute on her. Love her hair bun.

Werewolf Cookie: ULTIMATE FLOOF! Doggo here has a lot of angst and I worry for him. Maybe Vampire Cookie can teach him to chill? That’d be nice.

Rockstar Cookie: Oh, the songs I could sing right here. High tier rocker boy. Loving that flowing white hair. Rock on, buddy!

Soda Cookie: Go-to starter for my Breakout runs. I love him very much, he’s super cute! Let me go to the beach with this righteous dude! 

Dark Enchantress Cookie: Oooooh, she is GORGEOUS!!! I love her design~! I’ll be sure to invite her to any fancy balls I might have, as to avoid any Maleficent scenarios with this savage woman.

Moon Rabbit Cookie: My spirit animal! I love how she constantly munches while she runs. This girl is such a mood for me. Cute little bunny ears~!

Space Doughnut: Awww, look at this alien dork! Their design is very cute, and I love how their expression of >:3.

Macaron Cookie: Such a sweetie pie! Why must they all be so adorable?! She’s a little drummer girl! That is too precious! Look at her dress and hat!!!

Pink Choco Cookie: She reminds me of a show I watched when I was younger. It was about a space girl, does anyone remember it? This girl will save the day, I can tell! 

Avocado Cookie: Strong girl on the loose! My pun-loving friends would adore this cookie. And she’s a blacksmith, which is always cool.

Whipped Cream Cookie: Elegant ballerino!! He’s definitely one of my favorites! Such a beautiful boi~! I love his design so much, and he’s very useful. <3 <3 <3

Blackberry Cookie: Yeeees! Gothic girl for the win! She is SO dang pretty! I am WEAK for gothic lolitas, and she even has ghost buddies! I bet she’ll love spooky games like Luigi’s Mansion and Hollow Knight.

Lemon Cookie: Edgy boi is trying way too hard to be Shadow the Hedgehog. I mean, can you SMILE for once dude? It’ll take me a while to bond with this guy.

Salt Cookie: He strikes me as a wise old man you’d find meditating at the top of a mountain, or in his case on a boat in the ocean. I bet he has lots of knowledge to share.

Squid Ink Cookie: AWWWWW, SWEET BABY SQUID!!! Guys, I think they might be my favorite! They’re so squishy and mighty, and they need all my love and huggles!!! Don’t be sad baby, I’ll be your friend! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Lime Cookie: Beach girl! She’s like Lemon Cookie, but slightly nicer! I really like her hair and beach ball. Very cool girl.

Ninja Cookie: FINALLY! SOMEONE WITH MORE THAN TWO JUMPS!!! I went kind of crazy with his jumping powers at first. He’s super cool. Not sure why his pet is a ghost though.

Pomegranate Cookie: Oooh, I love Asian fashion~! Look how fancy and elegant she is! Her story concerns me, and I’m worried about her.

Angel Cookie: Good cookie, sweet cookie. Wouldn’t hurt a fly. It looks like they trust the devil boy, which is beyond kind of them. I love it when angels get along with demons. Defy angle roles!!!

Devil Cookie: Speaking of, they’re a cute little bean too! I love the naughty demon trope, and this cutie is so mischievous! Call Angel your “rival��� all you want, I’m still shipping you dorks.

Roll Cake Cookie: Imagine, if you will, the world’s biggest game of Whack-A-Mole! With that hammer, this boy would win without question.

Popcorn Cookie: I’d be happy to go with this girl to the movie theater! Also, I love how she had popcorn for hair buns. She seems like she’d be up for a fun time!

Carrot Cookie: Oh my lordy, her ponytails are carrots. The artists for this game are so clever. Strong but tiny farmer, I approve.

Ion Cookie Robot: Yes! A robot! I love robots, and this cookie is no exception! Definitely one of my favorites, up there with Whipped Cream Cookie. They’re super powerful too, and REALLY useful in Breakout and Trophy runs.

Dino-Sour Cookie: Gee Dino-Sour, how come Devsisters let you have two pets? Very cool punk boy. I can see him going to Rockstar Cookie’s concert.

Plum Cookie: Aren’t plums purple though? This boy is one tough cookie! Look at his karate moves! Honestly, I thought he was a girl at first. Why must these boys be so pretty?!

Yogurt Cream Cookie: PRINCE ALI! FABULOUS HE! ALI ABABWUA~!

Alchemist Cookie: Look, it’s Twilight Sparkle! Apparently, Vampire boy is her brother? I really like her hair braids(?), I just wish she’d loosen up a bit. She seems like a nice girl.

Roguefort Cookie: Aaaah yeah, elegant thief! This cookie is the coolest! I love this aesthetic so much~! Blue cheese has never been so fancy. Just look at this charmer, stealing hearts!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie: OOOOOhohoho! THIS is what I’m TALKING about! Look at this beast, they’re GLORIOUS! They’ve probably killed a bunch of people, but They’re crazy powerful and I adore them.

Knight Cookie: This guy is SO much fun to play as! He just won’t stop, he’s too fast!!! I couldn’t stop laughing once I found out just how fast this knight could go! Somehow he controls better than Pistachio? I don’t know, I love him!

Birthday Cake Cookie: TOO PRECIOUS FOR WORDS! SHE’S SO DANG CUTE!!! Also, her “Bonus Time” changes to “Happy B Day” and I... I just can’t! She’s the sweetest thing!!! <3 <3 <3

Cocoa Cookie: Awww, look at this sweet baby! I wanna snuggle her! Her design looks so warm and comfy. I have plenty of hot chocolate to give her. <3

Raspberry Mousse Cookie: Ah yes, the pretty boy that got me into this game in the first place. Along with Squid Ink, he’s probably my favorite. There’s a reason he has the highest affection so far with me. I just adore his design, and he’s very powerful! I will ALWAYS have him ready for Breakout and Trophy Runs. Well worth all the hype. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Rose Cookie: Finally, we have this lovely lady. Everyone is shipping her with Raspberry, and rightfully so. She is a high-quality woman that makes gay men straight and straight girls lesbian. Look at that outfit! And those dance moves!

Aaaand that’s everybody for now! I’ll update this once I get more Cookies. So far, I like most of them a lot. Anybody got some favorites they’d like to share? I’m still new to this game, but I’m happy to hear what others have to say!

UPDATE 1: 

I went back and fixed all the gender mistakes I made. (I’m so sorry! D:) Also, I got a few more cookies! So here we go!

Walnut Cookie: Precious detective baby! The newest update is only making her cuter! Probably the shortest of the bunch, and I adore her design~! <3

Cinnamon Cookie: Super useful power so far, and they have a really cool cape! Those cards are very handy! (I promise I’ll pay attention to the genders of these cookies from now on! I don’t want to misgender anyone again!)

Sparkling Cookie: Oooh, a sparkling cider cookie! That’s honestly the only boozy thing I enjoy drinking. He is super classy and seems like the life of the party. He strikes me as a Great Gatsby kind of host.

Moonlight Cookie: OOOOOOOH~! LOOK at this GODDESS! I love the nighttime/dreamy aesthetic. This girl has Luna’s hair and a wizard’s outfit, high tier cookie!

White Choco Cookie: This game sure likes it’s knights, huh? This girl is a fine lady and apparently, she attracts all the lesbians. Can’t say I blame those girls, I do love that hairstyle. 

Spinach Cookie: Aaand the newest cookie to hit the scene, this girl! I have never met someone so dedicated to vegetables, so I have to applaud that. She’s a super sweet girl, and I hope we find who stole her precious vegetables!!!

UPDATE 2:

More Cookies! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this, so I have quite a bit to share. On to the new ones!

Mustard Cookie: Look at this punk girl! Street artist on the loose in the streets! I always admire people and characters in this style, so I’m supporting this rebel all the way!

Herb Cookie: Now THIS guy is everywhere! It seems the fandom really likes him, and I can see why. He seems like a very nice boy, with a sweet plant baby. I like the leaf hair, very cool.

Sea Fairy Cookie: I love how everything on her flows. Her hair, her dress, she’s so beautiful~! I will say though, Legendaries are SO DANG HARD to level up and get affection with! WHY?!

Cream Puff Cookie: Awwww, look at this precious baby girl~! Look at her soft hair and little dress! I almost feel bad running with the super cute ones, I don’t want them to get hurt! 

Matcha Cookie: Oooooh, all these ancient-looking cookies have the coolest designs! She’s probably insane, darkness will do that to ya, but she seems harmless so I like her!

Ice Candy Cookie: This chick could crush me like a grape and I don’t know how to feel about that. Hopefully, she’s only savage on the ice rink. I do NOT want to mess with this girl.

Cherry Blossom Cookie: Awww, look how pretty she is~! Cherry blossoms are always so lovely, and this girl embodies that. She has a PARASOL for crying out loud, I CAN’T EVEN!!

Grapefruit Cookie: This game sure likes sports, huh? She seems really cool, I love her colors! Do you think she’d play Skate 3? Hopefully, she’d get a laugh out of that game.

Pirate Cookie: This guy has been a long time coming. I’ve been curious about him since the Breakout episode. He’s pretty neat, I appreciate how he naturally comes with an extra revive.

Kumiho Cookie: Cool! A Kitsune! I love the spin on the concept of cookies. Let this marshmallow fox live out her reverse-furry dream! I’m loving her design too, look at that hair! 

Marshmallow Cookie: Oh cute! Another marching band cookie! According to her story, she and Macaron had a falling out. I hope they can reconcile and be friends again. :(

Dark Choco Cookie: WE’VE REACHED MAXIMUM EDGE! WITH OREO SHOULDER PADS!!! Interesting how he’s still trying to be a hero, which is a nice spin on the “I have evil powers so now I’m evil” trope. Here’s hoping he stays strong.

Fire Spirit Cookie: Ah yes, the classic lord of fire. A staple for any fantasy story that includes the elements. Again, it’s impossible to get the affection for these guys.

Mala Sauce Cookie: Yay! I got Pitaya’s girlfriend! I always love it when there’s a tribe/society of warriors and the WOMAN is the strongest one there. Heck yes! This warrior lady is a badass!

Firecracker Cookie: I didn’t know I was invited to a rave party! Love the neon colors on this cookie, that’s something this game really excels at.

UPDATE 3:

I’ve reached 90 cookies! I’m on the homestretch!!!

Cheesecake Cookie: OH MY LORDY LOOK HOW FANCY SHE IS! I adore her already! Fancy ladies are the best ladies!

Kiwi Cookie: This game REALLY likes sports. He looks cool, can’t complain.

Yoga Cookie: Awww, a pretzel is trying to be loose! I’ve done yoga a few times, and it is very good for your body. Nice colors, simple design, nice.

Dr. Wasabi Cookie: I’d reference some mad scientist, but I know a lot of them so we’d be here for a while. Her combi generator has been very helpful.

Tiger Lily Cookie: IT’S THE EYE OF THE TIGER IT’S THE THRILL OF THE NIGHT, RISING UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF OUR RIVALS!

Chili Pepper Cookie: Uh oh, this one’s a troublemaker! I really like her hair, it’s very bright. Secure your pockets around this chick, that’s for sure.

Millennial Tree Cookie: These cookies are too pretty, I keep thinking they’re girls! This guy is so beautiful~ truly a being of nature!

DJ Cookie: Ooooh, I love her design~. Rainbow colors will win me over every time. And look! She’s wearing a Bi Pride shirt! This girl is awesome! I like how her special power is basically tiny Guitar Hero.

Snow Sugar Cookie: Soft baby, sweet baby. Looks very cuddly. Their level was very helpful during Sandwich Cookie’s event in getting frozen jellies. Those blue bears aren’t easy to come by!

Fig Cookie: CENTAUR! I wasn’t expecting one of those here! She’s such a sweetie pie~. Since everything and anything is allowed in this game, can we get mermaids or harpies next?

Cotton Candy Cookie: PRECIOUS BABY! She’s so gosh darn cute, I can’t take it! I personally can relate to falling in love with things so easily. And there are official plushies of her now! ONE DAY I WILL BRING HER HOME!

Purple Yam Cookie: Bro needs a chill pill. Not ONCE have I seen this guy smile yet. And I thought Lemon needed to lighten up. Milk seems to care about him though, so I guess he can’t be that bad.

Milk Cookie: The softest of warriors! Look how cute he is~! I adore him! Plus he really shines in the stories. I can only assume Yam is his boyfriend or something. Am I wrong about that?

Cyborg Cookie: Hey! I saw the storybook for this one! I’m surprised I haven’t unlocked this “Aloe Cookie” yet. Are they still in this game? I can’t find them on the chart. Anyway, Cyborg is cool. Very nice design.

Mango Cookie: Newest baby! I love him, and would love to learn all about the islands from him! I’m gonna say it, I already ship him with Ananas Cookie, no questions asked.

The Dress

Summary: A hunt has you out of your element when you have to wear a dress to help the boys get the Book of the Damned back from Rowena.

Sam X Reader

Word Count: 1,467

A/N: This is for @atc74 writing challenge.  My prompt was "Give me one good reason why I should wear a dress." along with the below aesthetic.  Please feel free to let me know what you think. 

Thank you for reading!

“I win!”  you exclaimed as you rushed through the door to the bunker, Sam fast on your heels.  You stopped once you reached the bottom of the stairs, leaning over to rest your hands on your knees. 

“You cheated.”  Sam accused, pushing his hair away from his eyes as he took a few deep breathes to try and slow his heart rate back down.

“No.”  You said, standing up straight again.  You took a towel from Sam’s outstretched hand and ran it across your face and down the base of your neck.  “You said whoever makes it back here first.  You never said anything about not taking the shortcut through the park.”  You pointed out, smiling slyly.  Sam just laughed and shook his head.

“Next time I will have to be more specific.”  He mumbled, stepping closer to you and placing his hands over your hips.  You nodded, smiling sweetly at him before you allowed him to lean down and kiss your waiting lips.  You leaned your body into him for an instant, just long enough to make you want more before you heard Dean clearing his throat from across the room.

“Just in the bedroom, guys.  Come on, we agreed.”  He scoffed as you pulled away from Sam, patting the back of his hand to get him to let you go.

“Sorry, Dean.  I thought you were gone on a hunt.”  You told him.

“I was going to go, but I think I’m going to need your help on this one.”  Dean started. 

“Can I at least shower first?”  You pleaded, ignoring the way Sam’s eyebrows lifted at the thought of you in the shower.

“Please, and take my brother with you.” 

“Dean…”  Sam’s eyes flashed to his older brother, obviously a little embarrassed at Dean’s insinuation. 

“Oh, I plan on it.”  You teased, laughing at the way Sam’s cheeks reddened.  You grabbed Sam’s hand and pulled him gently behind you toward the hallway.

“I left something on the bed for you, Y/N.”  Dean called out behind you, not even bothering to look up at your face.

You heard him laughing the minute you opened the bedroom door and crossed our arms.  "Give me one good reason why I should wear a dress!"  You yelled back at his laughter.

"I need you to wear a disguise for this one."  He called back.  You heard the garage door close behind him as he went to load up the impala.  You knew arguing with him was futile at that point and you shook your head before heading into the shower.

An hour later, the three of you were in the impala headed toward a fancy hotel outside of town. 

“Tell me again why I have to wear a dress?”  You argued, tugging at the material to try and cover your legs.

“Because Sam looks terrible in one.”  Dean said, over his shoulder.  Sam shot him a look and then rolled his eyes.

“You look hot, if it’s any consolation.”  Sam said, checking you out from the passenger seat.

“Maybe, but I’m not going to be able to fight anything in this.”  You whinned.  “I’m not even sure where I would hide my gun.”

“I could think of a few places.”  Sam told you, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Okay, that’s enough.”  Dean growled, rolling his eyes and pulling into the parking lot.  Seeing how uncomfortable he was almost made you feel better about him putting you in a dress.  “You know what to do?”  Dean asked after putting the car in park.

“This isn’t my first time.”  You glared at him.

You climbed out of the car, taking the invitation out of his hand and walking toward the front doors of the hotel.  Inside was a party to celebrate the premier of a new play in town.  It was by invitation only and formal attire was required, hence the dress. 

Dean and Sam had been spotted by the guards at the front door a few days before while you were visiting the morgue so you knew the only hope the three of you had was if you went in alone.  Even with that knowledge, it had taken Dean 20 minutes to convince you to dress this way.

Once inside, you snuck past the kitchen and let the brothers in the back door.  Sam took your hand immediately and the three of you climbed the back stairs to the hotel rooms on the second floor. 

“I can hear them in here.”  You whispered behind you, your ear against the door.  You waved Sam and Dean closer, allowing Sam to step in front of you with his pistol drawn.

“”1…2…3”  He mouthed, and the two of them busted in the door.  Before you stood three witches around a round table covered in ancient books.

“Really boys?”  Rowena asked, her hands falling to her sides.  Her two companions ran out of the room at the sight of the three of you. 

“Brave posse you are running with these days.”  You said sarcastically.

“It’s all thanks to these two.”  Rowena said, gesturing to the boys.  “Everyone knows they are in town and all of the decent witches left.  Now I’m forced to work with amateurs.”  She said.

“Where is it?”  Sam demanded.  “Where did you put the book?”

“Why should I tell you?  You will just take it away again.” 

“You’re damn right, we will.  Now where is it!”  Dean pressed forcefully, pointing the gun at Rowena.  Rowena started to argue, but instead let out a long heavy breath.

“Fine.”  She replied snidely.  She lifted the large book from the shelf behind her.  As Sam stepped forward to grab it, she threw it at him, knocking the both of you backard and rushing out of the door.  Dean fired a shot from his gun, but it only  managed to damage the edge of the doorframe as she scurried around the corner and was gone.

“Are you okay?”  Sam asked, standing and pulling you up to your feet.

“yeah.  I told you I should never have worn a dress though.”  You complained, certain the high heels had unnaturally affected your balance.

“At least we got the book back.”  Dean said, stuffing it into his duffle bag before slinging it back over his shoulder.

“For now.”  Sam replied cynically.  “It’s only a matter of time before she comes back for it.” 

“Well, it’s safe for now.”  You whispered, brushing a loose strand of hair from his face.  He glanced down at your face and smiled gently.  “Let’s get back to the bunker before we get caught up here.”  You begged.  The two of them agreed and led the way back through the hallway to the side door. 

Once the three of you returned home, Sam followed you toward your bedroom.  He stood in the doorway as you slipped your tired feet from the heels.

“You do look really nice in that dress, Y/N”  Sam mumbled.

“Well, don’t get used to it.”  You told him over your shoulder, struggling to reach the zipper in the back.  You sighed in frustration before turning to see that he was still standing in the doorway, a look of disappointment on his face.  “What is it?”

“I guess I was just thinking that you missed out on all of this because of us.  You should have gone to Prom in high school, go to fancy parties, and have a glorious life.  Instead, you train every day with me and hunt creatures you shouldn’t even know exist.”  He said.

You walked over to him, lifting his face so that his eyes met yours.  “Sam, I love my life just the way it is.”  You whispered.  “I never cared about dresses and parties.  I would much rather race you to the bunker and take on a werewolf than drink champagne and waltz with some guy in a tux.”

“I just don’t want you to feel like you are missing out on anything.”  Sam admitted.

“I’m not.  Those people are.”  You said.  You stood up on your toes so you could kiss him.  “Now, will you please help me get out of this thing?”  You words teasing his lips.

Sam leaned into you, pressing his lips against yours as he slid the zipper down the back of the dress.  You could feel his hands caressing your skin as he lifted you up off the ground in one fluid movement, the lacey fabric hitting the floor where you had once stood.

“You’re right.”  Sam said.  You scrunched up your face in confusion, but before you could ask Sam finished his thought.  “It’s better without the dress.”  He teased in your ear.  You let out a laugh as you leaned your head back and kicked the bedroom door closed with your foot.

2021 continues to be a rollercoaster for movie lovers everywhere, with a once promising Spring 2021 going much the same way as 2020 with delays, release date shifts, and growing apprehension. Still, even if the first few months of 2021 will look much like the last 12, there are reasons to smile. For starters, a new Walt Disney Animation Studios project, Raya and the Last Dragon, is about to premiere on Disney+; Eddie Murphy is finally reprising the role of Prince Akeem in Coming 2 America; and there is the chance to at last watch something called… the Snyder Cut?

Here’s what’s coming.

Moxie

March 3

Netflix kicks March off with Amy Poehler’s second feature film as director. Turning her camera lens to the anarchic battlefield of high school life, Poehler adapts Jennifer Mathieu’s novel of the same name about a young woman named Vivian (Hadley Robinson), who is fed up with the toxic masculinity and sexism at her school. So taking a page from her mother’s (Poehler) former hellraiser youth, Vivian starts an anonymous pamphlet-magazine with a punk rock aesthetic. She periodically distributes her musings around the school, mocking the double standards and perhaps calling out potential predators in their midst.

Clearly this is going to turn some heads.

Raya and the Last Dragon

March 5

Get ready for a “Disney princess movie” unlike any other. Raya and the Last Dragon is the latest effort from the fabled Walt Disney Animation Studios, and the first ever animated epic produced almost exclusively from home. The film follows Raya (Star Wars’ Kelly Marie Tran), the first Southeast Asian Disney Princess. But rest assured she’s also a unique heroine within the Disney canon. Lost without her family or home, this martial arts-trained daughter of a ninja chieftain travels through a fantasy wasteland until she meets Sisu (The Farewell’s Awkwafina), a chatty water dragon of legend.

Together they seek to save the desolated and polarized land of Kumandra. They also offer an old-fashioned adventure movie for all ages that lacks a single musical number–yet retains a familiar and welcome amount of heart.

Coming 2 America

March 5

It’s been more than 30 years since Coming to America, the amusing and very ‘80s Eddie Murphy comedy about an African prince out to find his princess in Queens, New York. In Coming 2 America, Murphy’s Akeem Joffer returns to Queens while still a prince, albeit finally with the crown in sight. With his father (James Earl Jones) on his deathbed, Akeem is commanded to seek out his long lost son Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler), who lives in New York City with no idea he’s descended from royalty.

Hence Akeem and trusted advisor Semmi (Arsenio Hall) return to their old stomping grounds to meet and retrieve Lavelle. But, really, it’s just an excuse to have Akeem back in modern NYC and to let Murphy and Hall run wild. Watch out for Wesley Snipes who appears as General Izzi, a warlord that seeks to take over Akeem’s beautiful land of Zamunda.

Chaos Walking

March 5

It’s actually happening: Doug Liman’s Chaos Walking is coming to theaters. Whether you want to go will be another matter though. The movie, which stars Spider-Man’s Tom Holland and Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley, originally finished production in 2017 with the aim to release in March 2019. But after poor test previews, the film was delayed until 2020 to make room for reshoots… and all of that was before COVID happened.

Now the film is finally walking its chaos to a theatrical release in the U.S., UK, and other markets. The film stars Ridley as the last girl in the world, literally. And she’s just been awakened to a bizarre dystopia where only boys like Holland’s Todd are left, and all their internal thoughts are verbalized by a visible force field around their heads. It’s going to be a long journey to salvation. 

The film is based on a YA novel and feels like a young adult adventure from the early 2010s. But the cast, which also includes Mads Mikkelsen, is winsome, and Liman has helmed good movies in the past with troubled productions, including The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith…

Pixie

March 5 (Available in the UK Now)

As a film that by early UK reports is a whole lot of fun, Pixie is a throwback to gangster comedies of yore with a few welcome twists: The hero of the film is Pixie Hardy (Thorughbreds’ Olivia Cooke), a young criminal mastermind who attempts the ultimate heist as revenge for her mother’s death, and who then gets an armada of gun-wielding priests and nuns chasing her for the effort.

Now forced to rely on two outsiders (Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack) in her small English village, Pixie is going to shoot her way to freedom, assuming the lethal, opera-loving Father Hector McGrath (Alec Baldwin) doesn’t put a bullet in her head first. Yeah, this could be a wild, fun ride.

Boss Level

March 5 (U.S. Only)

It’s often been remarked upon by many critics, including our own, that the time loop setup made famous by Groundhog Day has yet to produce a bad movie. Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Death Day, Source Code, The Endless, and last year’s Palm Springs (to name but a few) have all been at least pretty good. So director Joe Carnahan (The Grey, Smokin’ Aces) appears ready to push that observation to its breaking point with an action movie that positions itself as loopy fun.

Premiering on Hulu, Boss Level follows Frank Grillo as Roy Pulver, a mercenary in a time loop that begins with an assassination attempt on his life every morning and ends with a citywide explosion. In between he fights bad guys and tries to figure out how to break the loop and save his son. It’s a well-worn formula at this point, and judging by the trailer, Carnahan is leaning into the absurdity of it, along with relying on a talented cast which includes the underrated Grillo, Naomi Watts, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Jeong, and the ever controversial Mel Gibson. Will it work, or just be one day too many with this concept?

Cherry

March 12

Finally coming to streaming via Apple TV+, the Russo Brothers’ first post-Avengers movie seeks to be a Jesse James fantasy for our modern age. In the film, the Russos’ handpicked Spidey, Tom Holland, stars as Cherry, an Iraq War veteran with an addiction to opioids and a penchant for robbing banks. Highly stylized and the rare type of film we see these days—something original—hopefully Cherry is as sweet as its title.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

March 18

It actually exists. Now. When thousands upon thousands of fans were peacefully flooding comic book convention centers, and not so peacefully taking to social media to let their frustrations be heard regarding “#TheSnyderCut,” no actual finished version of Justice League from director Zack Snyder existed; instead there was just a four-hour rough cut that was in black and white, and which existed without special effects, music, or most of that post-production sheen. But fan demand has willed this abandoned version of Justice League to emerge from the ether and take glorious form on HBO Max.

So this month, the version of Justice League that Snyder intended to make will at last drop at a gargantuan four-hour length. Will it really be the stuff fanboy dreams are made of? Or will it be a longer, more brooding variation on the film that disappointed millions more than three years ago? Whether you’re a disciple or skeptic of “the Snyder Cut” phenomenon, we suspect you’re curious about finally laying eyes on this sucker.

Godzilla vs. Kong

March 31 (March 26 in the UK)

If you’re a little fatigued on superheroes, might we suggest a giant monster smackdown? Just over a week after Batman and Superman have their rematch, Adam Wingard’s hotly anticipated Godzilla vs. Kong will also premiere on HBO Max, as well as in U.S. and UK cinemas. And in the Legendary Pictures event, the two most iconic giant monsters in movie history will have their first heavyweight bout since Toho’s more modest 1962 effort. Gone are the men in suits; in their place is the dazzling CGI that Legendary’s MonsterVerse has already deployed via Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Kong: Skull Island (2016).

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

In the new film, Rebecca Hall plays a researcher who feels compelled to get the godlike King Kong off Skull Island for reasons that are not entirely clear. With similarly murky logic, Godzilla is provoked by this decision, and the traditionally benevolent kaiju is soon attacking Kong without warning. Clearly the big guys have beef. The film also stars Alexander Skarsgard, Eiza González, and a returning Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler. But come on, we’re here to “let them fight.”

Introdrucing the team chaos

Nithys Avaad: The Face™ Really doesn’t want to be The Face, but is charming and polite and a courtier and a very pretty tiefling Warlock. Not to mention her close connection to the princess and the nobility grants us a bonus (we hope). Will kill everyone with Eldrich Blast

Fenris / Fiam / the guy with too many names: Ser Sticky fingers. Everything belongs to this half-elf. Loves his mage hand, a bit of an edgelord, rogue during the day, bard in hay. Somehow got nearly kissed to death by the princess. Goooold

Alessa Brightblade: The Mother™ Watches over everyone, but doesn’t really trust anyone (human heritage perhaps) … yet. Loves jogging and praying (clerics do that a lot) and could probably kill someone with her thighs. Once one-shoted seven bandits. It was awesome

Ingrimm: Loves his spirits (would kill for a good keg of ale) and being a meat shield. Probably hits his head on every door frame. Comes with being a giant dragonborn

Dráven Naelaf: Sniper bro. Elf cursed to look like an halfelf. No interest in removing the curse … aesthetics. Makes maidens swoon because of his glorious hair and beard. Will one-shot your challenge rating 5 bosses with a single arrow. Best hiding spot for his twin

Phedre Naelaf: smol. Walking second-hand embarrassment. Awkward, shy, easily flustered. Should not leave the house at all. Will pet all your pets, though. Spends a lot of time as a dire-wolf. Can’t flirt. At all

The Princess: living and breathing escort mission (NPC). Spoiled, dragon-blooded brat. Has the hots for Ser Sticky Fingers and too much sass

20 Elections, #16: The Glorious Status Quo

The election happened to fall during a meeting of the European Defence Accord, just a complete coincidence, certainly not intended when the Whigs called it honest. That left London a complete damn zoo as protestors, journalists, gendarme, and rubberneckers walked over each other and over the increasingly irritated locals. High above the airships circled over the city and those in the Home Guard lucky enough to be on skywatch duty looked down at the crowds.

Pigeon One hung over EDA Command, the Nippon-Gothic eyesore squatting in Embankment next to Arnold’s Column. Being this high up meant Tash Cohen didn’t just get to avoid sweating it out in front of masked idiots at Command’s barricades, she didn’t have to look at Command. Up here you could almost pretend it was a normal building and not a sad reminder of the 1910’s ‘aesthetics’.

“Barricade to Pigeon One, receiving?”

Cohen got to work. “Pigeon One to Barricade, go ahead.” 

“We have possible eyeball on Suspect Baker, faxing it up now, over.”

Shit. “Acknowledged, Barricade, prepared to receive.”

When you had eight foreign heads of state and the President under one roof, the anarchists and terrorists came out to play. There were fourteen people of interest suspected to turn up – one, a French racial-nationalist wanted for murder, had already been arrested – and Suspect Baker was one of three suspected United Freemen operatives. The Princess of Ireland had almost been killed by a UF man and the United Kingdom was in a panic. Whitehall had needed to push back against the UK sending its own investigators down south.

The fax came up on screen: a furtive figure in a crowd, hiding behind an Anarchist International banner, features only barely noticeable. Cohen called up an image of Suspect Baker to compare. They looked familiar but not enough to be sure.

She really, really wanted to be sure before she called it in but this sadly wasn’t a time for a professional job.

“Sir, Barricade has a possible ID on Pronsias McArthur.”

Captain John Ohiyesa swore in a stream-of-consciousness blaze of English, Dakota, and Welsh. The man swore like everyone else coughed. “He’s just hanging around or what, Cohen?”

“About two heads back from the front of the barricade, if it is him.”

“Check the slow bastards are looking for the other Freefuckers.”

“Wilco.”

There’d been some degree of anti-monarchist violence in the United Kingdom since the Second Parliamentary Revolution, when James VIII nee James III had fled London for Edinburgh and the Protestants up north had risen up (and lost). The United Freemen had been one of several small groups and all dying on the vine until the referendum in 1995, when the country asked should the Queen (as was) stay or should she go? 61% of the UK said to stay and in the face of their countrymen actually getting the free choice the Freemen had demanded, the Freemen had gone nuts. Eighty-seven people had died since across Scotland and Ireland.

Fourteen people had died in two attacks in England. There could not be more.

Barricade came back with bad news. “Sir, all three are in the crowd. They saw Suspect Easy move up to the front. I asked if they could reach them and they said it would mean storming the crowd.”

Ohiyesa did not like people acting before he told them to. When he didn’t rebuke her, Cohen knew things were fucked.

“Contact the Tower and get instructions.”

Now things were completely out of her hands, and Ohiyesa’s hands, and anyone on the ground or in the air. Now they were all just tools of the Tower of London. Now you hoped someone else made a call you could live with.

“Tower to Pigeon One, acknowledge.” A stranger with a Black Country accent. Not the man she’d called in to.

“Pigeon One receiving.”

“Barricade has been directly informed to hold position and monitor. Snipers are in position in case of gun attack. Get reinforcements and paramedic teams on standby in case this is a kamikaze.”

“Acknowledge.” Her heart thundered but her voice was steady.

By the changing of the guard, nothing had changed. Cohen was out of uniform and crammed into an Overhead train when news came through on EBC: a Freemen group had been identified before they could launch their attack tomorrow, a dozen arrests and two shootings had taken place in the five minutes it took her to leave work. The Tower had made the right call. Thank G-d.

And then President Lieber was on the broadcast: “This is another sign of the sterling work by the Home Guard, and another sign of the need for our nations to stay united. Many have questioned the point of the EDA in a world where the two Europes are in détente, where the old rivalry with the Dutch is no more. Here, now, England has caught murderers who would have murdered Scottish and Irish people if they’d never come here; the United Kingdom may one day catch our own killers; and we know of similar arrests by the French and Portuguese for us, and us for Sicily. This is why there is still an Accord.”

The Whigs were under fire for their foreign policy, from without and within – those attacks would taper off for a few days, and in an election each day was crucial. The Tradesmen Party were boxed in now. President Lieber was a very, very skilled man.

Four more terms of the Whigs and three more of Lieber. Well, other countries could have the chaos of referenda and revolutions. Far as Cohen was concerned, England could stay at its pace.
