Round 3 households

Pleasantview: Part 3 (of 3)

[cosmic-waves7]

Jealousy, Jealousy.

Note: I tried Smth new w howl, pls pls lmk if u like it cuz I was half asleep as I typed this out (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

He's jealous.

It was only a quick pitt stop at the Wizard Pendragon's shop (one of Howl's many aliases) that set it all off.

A calm morning for the Pendragon's moving household was set to start and the shop needed a bit of upkeep as customers were running dry. So with the creaky floorboards all swept up and Calcifer warned to not misbehave, the clock-like magical device that hung next to the door signalled with a resounding ding and a switch in colour indicating where the castle had teleported to.

There was a long day ahead but you couldn't be more pleased.

As the hours went on Howl worked in rhythm with you as tinkering laughter was heard throughout the shop and bubbling mixtures were stirred harmoniously in cauldrons. There was a calm air to your love as he flitted around you with hands briefly coming to couch and maybe even teasingly squeeze at your hips as he passed.

"Pass me the dandelion leaves ?", He asked while focusing on the lilac fluid seeping from the side of the potion bottle he was pouring into.

You nodded with a kiss atop his freshly midnight-dyed hair - courtesy of sweet Sophie, you know she didn't mean it but you couldn't thank her more for the darkened charcoal colour that had seeped into his golden locks- and off to the ingredients section you went muttering past bottles of all sorts.

Coming back empty handed with no dandelion leaves in sight you let your eyes wander to his sprawled out form in the chair by the fire, Howl only looked up and smiled a bit disappointedly before getting to his feet and tugging on his boots.

You could already see long black feathers creeping out his cloak, predicting his speedy mode of transport for the errand.

"I'll be back in a moment sweetheart, not to worry. Markle will take care of everything."

Knowing full well the small child would've dosed off by now as he'd left to play in the fields while you both worked, you were left to manage the quaint store while Howl flew out for after a dizzying kiss goodbye and mumbles of bringing you wildflowers to carefully twist into your hair.

Then and only then did a customer decide to come in.

He was a polite young man, easily flustered and a soldier of the royal palace you noted due to the bluish uniform donning his slightly hunched physique.

He was nervous.

You grinned trying to ignore his demeanour so that maybe the pink in his cheeks would lessen.

"Ma'am, the queen has requested for a simple sleep draught from the makings of your shop.", He coughed, "please." came soon quickly after he'd recollected himself and pulling at the yellowed buttons holding his vest together.

You hid your smile behind the worn glove that your sweet partner had embroidered a pathetic attempt of a small daisy onto which you very much cherished, it felt like you were talking to a mouse rather than a fully grown man.

"Why of course."

The man...boy even, settled into a lone seat to watch you set up, eventually gaining courage to invite you into bubbly conversation that you found very boring very fast hence weren't all too interested in so short sugared-up answers were all he received.

The 'banter' he thought he was receiving on your end was honestly faked curiousity.

It seemed he was quite dim. Too dim for your liking.

His puny attempts to indirectly flirt were unoriginal and simply unwelcome.

Just as you were starting up your potion with another lame probe on the topic of the weather about to leave the man's mouth, your beloved hurriedly came in. Cheerily he was chattering on about a bird he'd been able to fly up close to in in his bird-like form.

"Oh, you should have seen it's-", Howl interrupted himself to stare at the man sat atop the brass stool across your apothecary tabletop, "feathers?"

His demeanor immediately switched.

Gone was the gentle, patient magician you were so accustomed to. There stood an intimidating wizard and he oddly felt much taller, much more powerful than a split second ago.

This was the Howl Pendragon you'd only ever heard about through word of mouth, not the one that childishly insisted to cuddle up on your ill-fitted couch or cast silly spells to jokingly make your hair stick up in different directions.

No. This was a whole different feel of a person and it seemed like the magic was almost spilling out of him in waves, you could almost taste it's electric crackling force in the air.

He felt more confident, cocky, ready to rip into this poor man down to his basic self-worth.

You liked it.

His lips twitched.

"Darling, who is this?"

Howl's voice was always deep and smooth as silk, just as it was right now, yet you were no fool and could pick up on the the roughened edges of his tone.

But it seemed like the young soldier took no notice of the emotional state of the suddenly very upset wizard in his presence. He only turning around to bow deeply in respect while stuttering out a greeting and an explanation of his presence.

Howl only had a curt nod to give as a reply and you could tell he wasn't very ecstatic have a new face in here.

If he could roll his eyes at the 'competition', they'd roll all the way to the back of his head to see his brain.

The next few minutes were tense as he only grinned tightly and came to your side to place a very domineering palm on your corseted waist pulling you in closer to his warm body, sending a clear message.

"I'm sure you've got this one little potion down love?", He said with his eyes sharply glancing to the young man that had very clearly receded back into his shell at this point.

Howl didn't even need to say a word, didn't even need to properly look at the guard for him to metaphorically back away. But of course he had to ensure he got his point across, so what else could he do but dip down to deeply kiss your lips, he was only seconds away from basically pushing his tounge into your mouth if you didn't stop his dramatic live-performance.

Nodding satisfied with himself, you huffed whispering 'show off' while he stepped back to tend to his dandelion-leaf-less potion.

You couldn't even look up at the barstool your customer sat on anymore with the intense blush covering your face and you could only imagine the agony of embarrassment he was going through.

With the potion sealed up and a-way-over-the-actual-price bag of coins thrown at the counter, he promptly escaped out the door not even bothering to check for any change.

Shrugging you turned back to glare at Howl who was innocently blinking into space.

"Was the last part really necessary."

He slowly smirked, tendrils of his magic swirling past your shoulders.

"Whatever do you mean?"

You quickly found yourself within his grasp, pressing kisses to your knuckles as an apology.

You knew he wasn't sorry at all.

Loud laughter could be heard from a distance as Calcifer moved the castle along to wherever your hearts desired.

Luther Hargreeves

You love hearing stories about his life on the moon. He mostly thinks that his stories are boring but you assure him that you like them.

Since he lived on the moon you are his first everything. maybe not his first love Like in everything. First kiss, first time, ... Because of that felt insecure. He tought you would leave him because of this.

He was also scared how you´d react of his condition. He kept it a secret until Diego told him to tell you.

You were shocked at first but you didn´t mind one more reason to hate his dad

He´s the biggest softy and very protective over you.

He alwyas takes you out to cute picnics.

Diego Hargreeves

Allison Hargreeves

Fighting with her together against rasicm (it does not matter if you´re black or white or idk)

Raising Claire together. Spoiler alert she absolut loves you.

Being always on your side. We are not supporting S3 Allison inthis household

Finding Luther weird. Not for his condition. but for hid behaviour towards your girlfriend.

Finding her power extrem cool. But after hearing that faked her whole life with her power, the first big fight began. She assured you she wouldn´t do that to you and only did it to het ex because she tought she was a failure.

You wanted to believe her but you were scared that you were also in her curse or whatever it got called.

It was suprisly Luther who brought you two back together.

Klaus Hargreeves

Spontaneous roadtrips somewhere in the world.

You are the only person who knows he´s non-binary.

You both are the funny duo everyone is annoyed of. Like recreating memes at midnight or laughing always by just looking at each other.

You´re taking his drug problemn serious and helping him to sober up.

You are his second and hopefully last love.

Going shopping and catwalking the new clothes all over the hous just to annoy his family more. The only one who seem to enjoy it is ghostie Benerino.

He tells you at random momtents how much he loves you.

Viktor Hargreeves

He had massive trust issuses at first thanks to that bitch

To his birthday you bought him a violin, so could find peace in his playing again. But he got lowkey scared to end the world again. But he tried it anyways one night. When you heard him playing it was so beautiful. Since then he plays every night for you.

You comfort him after his nightmares.

Teaching him some self-defense.

Growing from hating Luther to liking loving him. And starting to hate Allison.

He teaches you how to play violin.

You are always reading to him, because he likes your voice and it comforts him but this little bean sleps always in

Lila Pitts

SARCASM

Your realationship is full of sarcastic comments. What confussed the Hargreeves and other people.

You are the only one she trusts after hearing, that her ´mother´ killed her parenets.

You two meet, because you were her mission, but she fell for you. So your realationship started with trust issues.

Suprisly it was Five who got you both together and played wingman.

She´s very cocky, but so are you. One thing she loves about you.

Teaming together upwith Five, because he´s the only one who´s not a man-child, acording to you.

She´s saving you from stupid actions and descision you might would do.

The Tides’ Captain

sad implied lucemond:(

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS FIC INCLUDES TEEN PREGNANCY!!!! LUKE IS 15 AT THE START OF THIS FIC, SO VERY UNDERAGE!!!! DNI IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THIS TOPIC!!!!

a/n: Luke has a son out of wedlock (it’s definitely Aemond’s), and is thus shamed and exiled by his family (with great hesitation and protest from Rhaenyra and Corlys’ side of the family, but is celebrated by the Greens)

Also, how Luke got pregnant will be up to interpretation (I personally say there’s no explanation for it, it just happened and is a complete surprise to everyone involved, which would bring potentially unhinged shenanigans and that thought is hilarious to me)

•._•._•._•._•._•

It had been six months.

Six months since Luke was found to be with child.

Six months since Luke was found out to have been bedded before marriage.

Six months since Luke had been put in front of the court and shamed.

Six months since Luke had been exiled from Westeros.

It had been six months since he’s bedded him.

The damn bastard didn’t even own up to it! But what should he have expected, with his reputation as a mutilator of kin and a bastard spawn. Tis only fair a bastard birth a bastard - at least, in the eyes of the court, and to the one he gave his maidenhood to.

The brunette even had to abandon Arrax, and was given no dragon egg to gift to his child. Something he knows the Hightowers and their allies celebrated.

Luke had sailed across the sea after hitching a ride with sailors who took pity on the poor lad. They did whatever they could to help accommodate him; fed him, sheltered him, told him stories and taught him song and dance and fishing. And in return, the exiled prince helped in whatever chores he was able.

He grew to care and love his sailor family, and they saw him as one of their own. They had even given him a new name - Prim Carlisle of the Tidefall Ship, Pearl of its crew. Luke’s little one was even given options for names by his found family; Pitt, Ervin, Arwen, Mittie, Eula, Matildah… He was leaning into naming the child either Tidus for a boy, or Joanna for a girl.

The crew had even given him his own weapon, in case he ever needed to fight alongside them - though they promise he needn’t have to, as they’d never let a pregnant fellow do heavy work, and they’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he never has to see, hear or commit any violent act. When Prim saw the dagger, he knew immediately what to name the silver blade melded into a dark hilt with small gems molded onto it - Tidal. His family laughed and teased him for such a corny name, but he stuck by it.

Before he knew it, six months had passed by, then seven, then eight and finally, he was in his last month of pregnancy. And before he knew it, he met his son; Tidus. His hair was of his mother, brown curls that framed his chubby and red face, but his eyes - they were purple.

Got something from his father, hm?

The bitter thought flew in his mind, as he smiled bitterly at his sleeping son. His birth wasn’t easy - it took Prim two days to get him out, and he had to be moved from the ship to land for proper care and assistance, as the sea is no place for anyone to give birth in. The trek to land helped in positioning Tidus correctly, so the last few moments of his birth was a success. And most importantly, Luke…Prim didn’t have to be cut open.

For a solid three months, Prim and his crew stayed on the island to rest from the chaos of birth, and the celebration of a new member of their family. After their rest, they set out yet again, this time, with even more cherished cargo with them - a child and a few girls of the island willing to come aboard and travel with Prim’s family, to help with medicine, organizing and with basic household - shiphold- chores.

Once again, Prim’s family was expanding. A few years evidently pass by, and Tidus was now three, while Prim was now eighteen. It has been three years since he last step foot on Westerosi grounds, since he had last sailed Westerosi waters, since he had last flown on Arrax in Westerosi skies. Prim was a far better sailor than he was three years prior - he was no longer seasick on deck, he knew the ropes, knew how to navigate the seas, knew how to chart and read the weather, knew how to use the stars in his predictions, and he knew how to sail and fish and hunt and lead.

When the captain of the Tidefall Ship fell to a sickness one day while they anchored on a small island, he named Prim the next captain once he hit the bucket. And when he did, his last will and command was effective immediately.

At first, Prim didn’t know if he had the ability to become captain, but with his crew’s help and his son’s encouragement, he became a feared and respected leader of a band of skilled, resourceful and “no-good” sailors under the moniker Prim Carlisle, “The Mermaid”.

It was only another three years later, when Prim and Tidus freshly turned twenty one and six respectively, did Prim decide to finally settle down somewhere cozy and quiet, where it would only be Prim and Little Tidus. When he dropped the news to his crew, they immediately went into hysterics, and immediately said they’ll settle down with him as well - though, with some prodding from Prim, they continued on their voyages, with Prim’s second in command as the new captain.

After a few weeks at sea, mapping out potential places of note good for a single parent and their child, Prim settled on a valley surrounded by wildlife and mountains and cliffs, with a meadow in the middle full of flowers with space large enough for a farm, cabin and animals.

The crew promised to come visit with gifts and trinkets and anything the father-son duo could need, and Prim held them to the promise.

Prim and Tidus lived in relative peace together in their little corner of personalized heaven. They had a cabin full of comfortable crafts by Prim and Tidus, alongside being decorated with presents from their family. They had a farm with two cows, five chickens and three sheep. They had growing crops of all kinds, as they were given many seeds by their crew to start out with. Not only that, but the girls had even given and taught him how to make the most of what little one might have during the weeks leading up to his and Tidus’ settlement.

Life was perfect for the father-son duo.

Until it wasn’t.

It wasn’t long until they hear rumors from travelers about a war brewing in Westeros, a war between family - a dance of dragons. Each side had been looking for dragon seeds to hatch and claim dragons for their side, and their reach had far extended past even the Free Cities. Prim knew better than to get involved - especially with his former family, so he made precautions to barricade both the obvious and inobvious entrances to his valley, and hid him and his child away from the skies. Only his crew knew their whereabouts, and how to get in and out.

However, these measures weren’t enough to keep him safe from someone who was desperate to get him back despite the years, and despite the fact that he never owned up to his part as Tidus’ father.

Above Prim, during a night of chill and snow, as a white and thick blanket of white coats the lands, he hears a roar that brings shivers down his spine. Clutching his crying son to his chest, who was scared for him and his mother in front of the green beast above them, in one hand while on the other, he holds his dagger - Tidal, Prim looks up and gazed past the hulking mass of flesh and scales -

And makes eye contact with a desperate, relieved and grieving violet eye.

[cheers-mdears]

Was thinking about how amazing it is that fantasy and sci-fi are so popular as films and that probably the vast majority of household name actors have been in at least one

And then remembered that Brad Pitt allegedly *hated* making Interview with the Vampire because of the dark sets, the contacts, and that he was playing "the bitch" and like. Would you have preferred to play Lestat, Brad?? The melodramatic princess pathetically in love with self-loathing "turns down two men's proposals" Louis?? He gave Louis a KID to save their marriage, how is he not also a bitch lmaoooo

[desire-mona]

dps boys (and keating's) favourite songs (aka me projecting because i love music) (also modern au because you cannot limit me to music before 1960 you just cant)

i made a playlist of all these songs in case you wanna give em a listen, you can find it here. if you totally disagree with me or wanna add more then absolutely let me know!

neil: talia - ride the cyclone (the musical)

yes i KNOW it's obvious to choose a song from a musical BUT. ride the cyclone is special, i think he'd really like the lack of an ensemble and enjoy the dark premise despite the comedic nature of a vast majority of the show. also i totally think his favourite performance would be by gus halper bc of the use of the projector. mischa or noel is definitely a dream role of his.

todd: vincent - james blake ('s cover, og by don mclean)

don mcleans lyricism is like catnip to poets and it has gone unacknowledged for far too long. a lyrically gorgeous, vaguely queer sounding song about a tortured artist, covered by someone with an ANGELIC voice. can you name anything more todd? not to mention the piano is so far beyond moving, nothing short of a masterpiece.

charlie: dear prudence - siouxsie and the banshees (again - a cover, og by the beatles)

firm believer that charlie was an avid beatles hater for a WHILE until eleanor rigby grew on him, much to his dismay. is now a casual beatles enjoyer, only due to the fact that their vocals annoy him. so a cover by siouxsie sioux (whom he most definitely has a crush on) is basically a blessing in disguise. loves the instrumentals, loves the vocals, loves all of it. insists that its better than the original and will ultimately die (correct) on that hill.

meeks: love on the line (call now) - her's

as much as i love and adore meeks, i have been loyal to my headcanon that he is an annoying music snob since day one. of course, this culminates in his favourite song being by THE indie pop/rock band that pretentious people love to bring up the death of. he is no exception, any time the band is mentioned he will without fail go "did you know that they died in a car crash?" either way, id be lying if i said this was a bad pick. the upbeat vibe mixed with the actual meaning of the song being about a guy wasting all his money on a sex hotline? it makes the whole song so fun, and thats right up his alley! super danceable too, which plays a huge part.

pitts: bad fruit - jean dawson

will mona ever shut up about jean dawson? signs point to no. anywho, if you've followed along with my pittsie musings then you KNOW that i consider pitts to be the most well versed music guy to ever step on welton academy campus. realistically, im sure his favourite song changes on a day to day basis, but he always comes back to this. jean dawson makes art that ive seen few do similarly, everything he brings to the table i find so incredibly unique and well crafted. definitely pitts' biggest music crush.

cameron: '39 - queen

absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, an extremely guilty pleasure. i take his parents as the type to ban queen in their household (for reasons that im sure youre able to pick up on) but i ALSO take cameron as a sucker for classic rock, match made in hell. of course, since brian may does the vocals on this song instead of freddie, he can listen on the dl and be fine. also, the concept of time travel in music is SO!!! INTERESTING!! would absolutely go on a 10 minute long tangent about the story and meaning of the song, which only mittsie would actually listen to.

knox: lavender buds - MF DOOM

fine, FINE. i'll give knox a proper headcanon, but i wont be happy about it. i think i would listen to MF DOOM a lot more if i was a former bully, but thats not actually based off anything so dont take that as an insult, avid listeners. honestly i dont really have an in depth explanation for this one, just look at the lyrics and youll understand.

(this repeats 3 times)

i also take him to be a big r&b/ blues enjoyer, also based off nothing at all, so the sample probably appeals to some sense of nostalgia.

keating: clair de lune - claude debussy

yes, even modern keating's fav song would be classical, you can rip that from my cold, dead hands. this song was based off the poem by the same title by paul verlaine, which i'll include because it is just so damn beautiful.

Your soul is a select landscape

Where charming masqueraders and bergamaskers go

Playing the lute and dancing and almost

Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.

All sing in a minor key

Of victorious love and the opportune life,

They do not seem to believe in their happiness

And their song mingles with the moonlight,

With the still moonlight, sad and beautiful,

That sets the birds dreaming in the trees

And the fountains sobbing in ecstasy,

The tall slender fountains among marble statues.

Paul Verlaine, 1869 (originally written in french, so this is a rough english translation)

now the song itself does SUCH a good job at capturing the beauty and moving parts of this poem, and it fits perfectly with a plethora of different emotions. i know without a shadow of a doubt that its his kryptonite. is that me projecting because i love this song and i love keating? absolutely, but i still think its true either way.

[hisbutleronhiatus]

It has been 42 days since the Kuroshitsuji hiatus was announced.

Pitt had a delightful chat about photography with a young camera enthusiast named Sascha who stopped by his studio. Apparently, they’re one of the Phantomhive household’s German connections (Diedrich’s never mentioned them, but even a newshound like Pitt can’t sniff out all of the earl’s associates) and are currently on holiday with their colleague, Ludger. He was a nice enough fellow, though the taciturn chap didn’t seem to share Sascha’s passion for snapping pictures, opting for leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette while the other two were engaged in conversation. Always one to note the finer details, Pitt was struck by the fact that his visitors both had eyes which glowed the same shade of phosphorescent green. Otherworldly, one might say…

[skullsmuldon]

"She’ll also add a critical look on her face while doing it so it looks more credible/professional."

Yooooo. I literally gasped! The shade, Skuls!!

How many awkward moments do you think there are in that household considering so much of her work, whether at the shop or on her own, revolves around... weddings?

---

She arrives home and he's like, "how was your day?"

And she goes, "Beautiful, my love. Weddings are so wonderful! My favorite part of this job! I get so many ideas for... my own???"

---

A bit awkward, no?

Maybe not.

I hope she maximizes this opportunity, although I do think she's pretty close to locking him down so she can spend the rest of her life inviting friends over to lounge together by the pool (He strikes me as being done with dating. He's got it too easy at this point.)

What's the saying? "It's not how you start, it's how you finish..."

She clearly has friends willing to give her business, as this wedding was through her friends. And she could tap into the grown children of his circle of friends who are getting married, and she really, truly could build a solidly successful business for herself in that area where there IS so much wealth.

(I mean, at this point, surely she's made a contact or two. Right? DD isn't exactly an anomaly in Hollywood where men date much younger and are familiar with the concept of sugar babies and their endeavors like modeling, influencers, event planners, etc).

It's a hard job market out there! If there's ever a chance to take a risk on building something, it's definitely when you don't have a single bill to worry about.

Ah, what is that feeling even like, I wonder?

Anyways. You always make me laugh!!

You are welcome 😅😂 I make myself laugh too it’s such a shitshow.

This is no serious business to me more like a PR stunt. Same like when they pretended she was an alumni or a pro athlete when both is a lie. Anything to make DD look less like she was smoothie shopping for a sugarbaby to mold to his wishes.

I’m sure there are friends willing to give her work but there only so many weddings for friends who can have and tbh if you aren’t willing to pass off her arrangements as bohemian or free spirit wildflower interpretations/designs it looks like my godchild who picked a flower bouquet from the forest for me. Definitely not sth I would pay thousands and thousands of dollars for.

DD (his own word) is afraid of dying alone so pretty sure they’ll marry at some point. It’s a win win for him, he can still do what he wants and who he wants, and she’ll stick around until he dies takes what she’ll get out of being a widow buys herself some beach cottage and lives her farmer market lifestyle.

She isn’t “Hollywood pretty” enough to attract a real big shot geezer like Brad Pitt or any of the other creepers. She is also too old by now. She might be able to get a normal non famous guy if she wants that.

Look at those masterpieces I could have never… the child safety on the scissors would have prevented me… ( those who know know😂)

Mesa Gallery from TS2 Console

This lot is supposed to be in Strangetown but I don’t have any room available in my deserts so this artsy household lives in an apartment in Evergreen Harbor. I thought that they could do wonders there creating and recycling (and I need to actually try Eco Living gameplay).

Rico Banana: (A)

“Rico Banana doesn't sell smoothies, he sells the smoothie lifestyle. As Rico likes to say, "Be cool, stay in school, and drink deep from the smoothie of life. Peace!”

Jasmine Yves: (A)

“In spite of her most cheerful, heartfelt efforts, Jasmine is a terrible artist. It's difficult to pinpoint her inadequacy, but most blame her unfortunate affinity for tragic clowns.”

Willy Weir: (E)

“Beloved but addled, Willy claims to communicate telepathically with an invisible race of space lizards who have taught him the mysteries of time travel, warp speed, and not wearing pants.”

Patricia Pitts: (YA)

“Brilliant but troubled, this reclusive artist gained notoriety in the creative community with her suggestive work, "The Secret Potato". Some might see the potato as a metaphor, others as a simile. “

[pinkobsessedfreak]

the poets and their pet of choice (aka: dog or cat people?)

(there's ship stuff under the "keep reading" tag and i wrote for whatever ship i could think of hcs for)

neil: dog person. c'mon, neil perry is a walking golden retriever, of course he loves dogs.

todd: controversially, a dog person. he loves cats, but there is nothing like a dog jumping up on you to give you kisses. he seems to like their company more than some humans, occasionally. they're easier to talk to. (todd + therapy dog?)

charlie: also controversially, a cat person. charlie loves dogs, yes he does, but he embodies cat energy. specifically a jaguar. he just loves cats (and wearing cat-based animal prints [like cheetah, tiger]).

knox: dog person. there are no thoughts behind his doe eyes and though dogs can be smart as hell, they can also be dumb as hell, and they just work so well with him. also, imagine him holding a puppy. done.

meeks: cat person. he may be a talkative person, compared to other... nerds, i said it, but the silent solitude a cat provides is perfect for him. he loves that they can curl on his lap when he studies and also try to interupt the studying for his attention but in less distracting ways than a dog.

pitts: dog person. it feels like i can make a "tall person" joke here but just, dogs. actually, i think pitts is allergic to dogs and is so sad that he can be toppled over by a sneeze because of dogs but not by the dogs themselves.

cam: cat person. do i really need to explain? i will regardless. he genuinely thinks any animal would hate him but cats come up to him and he is so confused, but they are also a lot less energetic than dogs, so he can deal with them and their affections easier. he, like meeks, also likes their habits during your own studying.

multishipper madness:

anderperry: as two dog lovers, they would get their first dog within a few months of moving in together. neil knows that todd is it for him, and todd knows the reverse is true, and though the latter struggles with saying it, the dog exemplifies it in ways todd cannot put into audible words. it's a golden retriever, and it serves as the biggest source of comfort for the two of them when things get hard. nights spend cuddling with a pooch hopping onto the couch and subsequently their legs are the best nights for them. todd writes a poetry book about the dog (as todd writes a poetry book about everything, the words never stop spewing from his mind, especially with the infusion of love he feels everyday) and publishes it. dog lovers everywhere adore it.

knarlie: charlie comes home one day with an armful of cats (not kittens, as one would expect. charlie went into the shelter and adopted six of the oldest cats without ever asking a question about kittens). knox cannot say no to him. they baby these cats for as long as they live. charlie does the same thing with two dogs later on in their lives together, and knox is so in love with him it hurts is just as happy to baby these babies until they pass on. knox and charlie and their kids would be the family always surrounded by a thousand pets of different kinds, i wouldn't doubt. there is so much love in that household that it could suffocate you if you weren't careful.

mittsie: because of pitts' unfortunate allergy to dogs, they get a cat, and pitts cannot think of anything prettier than meeks, asleep on their bed, with their cat laying on his hip and purring louder than he believed possible. there's also nothing prettier than meeks laughing as he tries to move their cat off of his arms so he could keep writing whatever paper he was fixing up at the moment. there's truly not much of anything prettier than meeks, in pitts' eyes, and it is only bettered by the presence of a cat with fur a familiar shade of orange. meeks also insists on feeding their cat the healthiest food they can manage, but since meeks cannot be allowed into the kitchen as he can burn water, pitts prepares cute little healthy meals for the cat. they're so in love with each other it hurts.

cherry: neil will walk into their apartment with a puppy in hand the same day charlie gets a cat, but there is no argument over which one they keep. "you got a cat without asking me?" "you got a dog without asking me?" "fair... so we're keeping both?" "char." "yeah, why did i even ask." the cat and dog don't get along the best and neil and charlie both have different ways of getting them to befriend each other. they never figure it out, but one night, something clicks, and the cat and dog become cool as cucumbers. charlie nicknames them the most ridiculous things, and neil thinks it's adorable. neil thinks all of charlie is adorable, even though the boy couldn't take a genuine compliment to save his life, but it works.

chadd: todd and charlie go to the shelter together to adopt an animal and somehow end up with an old therapy dog and two cats, thanks to charlie's pleading and todd's pure love and inability to resist him. todd swore up and down they only had the means for one pet, with their lease and all, but he did not complain at all about the two carriers and one leash they ended up putting into their car and driving home. charlie thinks the therapy dog would be most useful for todd, since he can't always be there for him when he has some of his worse panics, but charlie finds a lot of use in the dog too. their relationship is a lot of healing and these animals only serve to help that. the cats are twins and serve their own platter of chaos. todd writes many a poem about their similarities to his boyfriend: no wonder he picked them out.

camtodd: there's a sale at the shelter, and neither of them plan to get a cat, but by some random chance, they both have a break in their day just long enough to go. the shelter is crowded with families who were waiting on a chance to see the animals, and cam almost leaves because he doubts they'll get to, but they do, and when he sits down on a floor, todd scooting against his side, in a room swarming with kittens, he expects all of them to crawl into his boyfriend's lap. and they do. but then one falls into his own lap and pads around, mewing. then another. and another. and then he's swarmed with cats, something he never believed could happen. he doesn't call it crying, but tears do fall down his cheeks. they adopt the first two cats that crawled into both of their touches. cameron cannot believe he managed to get this lucky, he has no idea how. todd doesn't really know, either, but they are so happy together that it frankly doesn't matter.

kitts: pitts goes to visit knox's family, who are all too excited to meet him: of course, knox's family includes their adorable bernese mountain dog, skipper. pitts is not deathly allergic to dogs, but he came prepared with enough allergy medication to drown a horse. he takes one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening: thankfully they only make him lightly drowsy and not entirely delirious. knox, who had completely forgotten his boyfriend was allergic to dogs, sees him taking the pills and asks, only to be brutally reminded the man he loves can never be a dog owner: he feels terrible, and offers to go home early, but pitts would never end this trip prematurely for the world. when it does end, though, knox suggests they look for a hypoallergenic dog. pitts laughs. they adopt one a few years later.

kneil: knox is one for big romantic gestures, so he figures, after he and neil had been together for three years, he'd celebrate their anniversary by getting a dog. neil had mentioned wanting to get a pet far more in those past few months than he had the first two years of their relationship, so knox took the logical leap. when he comes home on their anniversary with the cutest dog he could find, neil is just... totally in love with him and the dog and he can't believe it. his boyfriend knew how to take hints, but he did so in the dorkiest ways, sometimes, especially since neil thought his disappearance the entire day meant last-minute anniversary preparations (it did. the dinner neil was expecting would come later that night. along with the proposal, but adopting a dog, for the two of them, was likened to a marriage proposal, so neil sees it coming before knox even has the chance to ask.)

carry: cam is the one to surprise neil, this time around. sort of. though everyone else is great at surprises, cam is constantly worried that the other person won't like it, so the moment he seriously considers getting a pet to try and bring more comfort into their lives, he asks neil. neil is all too quick to agree, and they have a cat by the next week. cam made sure, time and time again, that neil was okay settling for a cat instead of a dog, because he could handle a dog, he could, but neil did not think he could handle a dog (and the sharp cacophony of their barks) all too well, so they take home the large white cat that curled up in the brunet's lap and fell asleep while cam was sifting through paperwork at the shelter. this cat brings them comfort at their roughest times, when human touch and words are too much for the mind, as well as many happy memories.

parlie: pitts' allergy stikes again, though not to his boyfriend's dismay, and after much deliberation over whether they could handle a pet together, their question is answered for them when a kitten appears on their doorstep and they immediately take her in. watching your partner nurse a little kitten back to help is the most adorable thing to watch, they'd both agree. it makes them think about the impossible. once the kitten is healthy and older, they love having cooking competitions to see whose food the cat likes more: it's an even split, since pitts can cook amazingly and with heart while charlie creates on instinct without any semblance of intent and yet still produces beauty. the cat doesn't mind and lives heartily on both of their delicious productions.c

gingersnaps: they are totally the couple to get a dog that is almost as tall as the both of them and take them for walks all around town. they are both cat people, a fact that cameron mentions the moment meeks sees the puppy and cameron knows they are going home with a dog. the worker at the shelter warns that the dog is going to grow tall, sending cautious glances at their nowhere-near-six-foot selves, but they shrug it off. the dog does grow quite big, and they just barely manage to keep them adequately contained and healthy on top of maintaining their own health, sanity, and savings, but they make do. meeks tends to get attacked with kisses by their very tall dog often while he's trying to relax on the couch, and cameron tries to help him, only to get "attacked" as well. their rest only comes when their puppy tires out and falls asleep and they can curl up in each other's arms, notably covered in dog slobber as they do.

meekx: to combat knox's usual big romantic gestures, meeks is the one this time to surprise knox with an animal. he gets a puppy with eyes the same shade of brown that he's seen in the eyes he's come to fall in love with. knox is almost moved to tears, and he hugs his boyfriend and their dog close to his chest when he first sees them together. there's something so endearing to him about seeing meeks attempt to hold a squirming puppy in his arms, and knox presses several kisses to his curls and to the puppy's adorable head once he pulls away from the hug. this new love is fast and immediate, kind of like how the two of them fell in love in the first place.

a bundle of nerds: their dog, because even with two cat people, they end up with a dog, has bronze fur, increasing the number of orange-haired dorks in this grouping to three and leaving the sole brunette outnumbered even further. they let the dog onto the bed at night with the three of them, though it was already a squeeze before, since pitts tends to be colder than the cam or meeks and they need to supply for the lost heat. pitts finds it easiest to play with and "wrangle" the dog when they're being a tad too energetic, but meeks has a way with training them, and cam has a way with soothing them, that perfectly balances their care and love between all of them. pitts buys a gross variety of different toys for the dog, and cam and meeks love watching their boyfriend play with the dog from their porch/balcony, while simultaneously falling even more in love with him, if that were possible.

mittsiedd: college and career life is tough, and as everyone starts working later hours to try and provide in the grueling and failing economy, they start spending less time together, and todd's and pitts' anxiety starts to worsen. they're typically together for the hard nights, pitts silently holding todd as he gets him to mimic what he can remember from his own therapy sessions while he does it for himself, with meeks trying his best to provide comfort from his graveyard shift with whatever he can think of. when his coworker tells him that her cat had a litter and she needs to rehome the kittens, the answer to his problem bursts into his head as if it had been obvious the entire time. he does ask first, though, and todd, who had a calm night, easily agrees, as does pitts, with the little convincing it took of meeks saying "studies show that petting an animal can lower your blood pressure." cuddles with a kitten do not supplement cuddles with your lovers, but the cat really does help them make it through this tough stretch of their lives.

camderperry: cameron has always been afraid of getting a pet with neil and todd, because he thinks their mishmash of a relationship will not last as long as the animal's life. todd and neil disagree. enter: mx. whiskers (charlie, a part of the entire plan to get cameron out of his goddamn head, c'mon, didn't he see how annoying it was in school, was responsible for the name). cameron admits to breaking out in a stupid sob when he comes home form work to a text saying "surprise!" and a cat bundled in todd's arms, because its there, its real, it means something. neil pulls him into his arms before he can start bawling, which he still does, and todd immediately supplies him with the kitty, and suddenly, for a moment, a long and dear moment, everything is right in the world. the cat snuggles into cam's arms, and he rests his head atop of their warm head, and todd presses a soft kiss to his cheek, followed by neil planting a kiss to the both of his partners' foreheads, and everything is good. everything is right.

polypoets: it is hard enough to coordinate anything when seven people are all dating each other, let alone attempt to decide if they should get a pet, as it involves feeding, grooming, play, and vet schedules which are tough to dictate between two people as is, but somehow, the poets manage. at first, when they decide to try and see if they should get a pet, they cannot agree on what type of animal to get ("four to three. we win!" "we can't get a dog, knox! what about ger's allergies?" "i'll be fine, but i don't think we should get an animal until we have our own place together." "this three bedroom apartment isn't enough?" "we can barely afford rent without the pet fees." "oh fuck, i forgot about those." "we can afford rent just fine." "not with pet fees.") they get a fish for their first attempt at pet parenting while still in that apartment. it goes... about as expected: chaotic but surprisingly well. cam and todd are in charge of creating the schedules, neil cleans the tank, meeks is in charge of health, knox and charlie make the fish do dorky tricks while they do their feedings, and pitts keeps track of their supplies. when they do get their own place, a house with a huge primary bedroom that seems as big as the average studio apartment but with enough space for all of them plus some, they get a cat. and then a dog. and another fish, for old time's sake. the schedule is pretty much the same, give or take some semantics. they all grow old together, happy and in love with each other and with these dorky pet additions to their family, okay?

Well this shitshow has caused a bunch of people to not be his fans anymore. There’s less people willing to make content. That doesn’t make them bad fans. That makes them say, you know what? I can’t support what you’re doing. And people change in their thinking when they age. When I was younger I loved Brad Pitt. I don’t want his new movies. //

Pain Hustler performance might have been better than Ghosted, but it still wasn’t enough to outweigh the destruction of his fandom.

No one is owed fans. If people don’t want to be fans because of someone’s personal life, that’s their decision. He enjoyed those fans all that time fawning over him. Fans aren’t entitled to knowing everything about him, but He’s not entitled to having fans either.

I don’t blame fans who walked away. They aren’t scamming, spreading falsehoods, attacking people, etc. they simply walked away. That’s a healthy way of handling the disappointment.

Pain hustlers was ok. 1. It’s been done better in Dopesick. 2. The story/script was all over the place. 3. I’m noticing now how Chris is a technical actor and am seeing little clues in his performance. I guess that’s what happens when you aren’t thirsting over a guy for his looks as much.

Yeah, I’ve said that Chris is an actor that needs his fandom. He still is a relatively unknown to the GP. So I think of it as he’s not a household name. But I struggle to think of anyone nowadays, in his age bracket, that has that. People just don’t care about celebrity culture like they used to.

No one is owed fans, you’re correct. They’re not owed their fans loyalty. I think more and more often fans are becoming more informed consumers. Your personal life is much more put out there for consumption. And people know how important their money is to these celebrities. If you don’t have fans going to see your projects how are you going to continue to make big budget, big paycheck movies?

There are so many fans who have walked away, and there’s continuing to be more. They have every right to do so. I don’t fault them for that at all. I don’t fault people who have hoped for the best but between more and more nonsense coming out plus the fandom drama, they’ve left. Sometimes it’s not just the celebrity. And let’s face it, there’s been some blog wars going on. I know myself, and so many of my friends that are mods get hateful asks daily.

I know so many of the POC writers in this fandom have been getting the most vile racists asks because they’ve continued to write for him. There’s a lot of people shouting about racism in this shitshow, but don’t want to talk about that, do they? How there’s been some blatant racism hiding behind anons. You continue to be berated on the regular, why would you want to stay. Some of those asks, it’s not a joke. The only person who can think that, much less write it, is someone who is racist.

I do think PH came too late in this long line of similar projects. And I also think this one had the weakest script. The cast wasn’t the issue. Chris has always been quite technical. He takes direction well, but I do think there are times his weak spot is fully understanding the character. He’s acting, he’s not becoming the character if that makes sense.

So I think you need to lessen so much attention on Box office and whether or not that makes you an A-lister. It's when you're a household name that makes you an A-lister...whether every film you do is a "hit" or not imo. I think having your films do well at the box office are GREAT, and that def factors into it, but also so do award wins and nominations (don't discredit them also! It gives you exposure to more people knowing your name as well). But you don't ALWAYS have to have films doing tons of money at the box office in order to be seen as an "A-lister". Not everyone flocks to all of Tom Cruise's movies, or even Denzel's movies. Sometimes it's just the movie!

I agree that even though BO films are great doing films for awards and nominations but can we be honest? I remember a while ago some Tom fans asking on your blog about their frustration with his career and worrying about his choices and no offence you kinds dismissed him due to him being successful financially over being in award nominated films? I understand cause sometimes those Tom doom asks can be exhausting, but I genuinely feel like his career on screen outside SM has been a bad for someone in his fame. We joke about the JE team going night and day for him, but altlwast he has a team that does that cause Tom's team could care less about his rep. Some might say Tom doesn't need to be on that THR list or respect in his industry, but I'm sorry, who wants to work in tbeor jon where ppl don't respect you? Tom came up at the same time as Timothee, and the trajectory of his career was sad for someone who was recognised on stage and in a disaster film.

As a fan selfishly, I'm not satisfied with Spiderman. I didn't trust the MCU and how they deal with characters, and I just can predict people moving away from those ip movies to make space for midbudget films. Look at the career of Glen Powell. Ppl want characters that are grounded, not detached superheros. With those other actors mentioned, you can compare them to their predecessors, Leo, Julia,Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe for JE lol, there's a healthy comparison. With Tom, I can compare him to anyone cause no actor would depend on one organisation like he has. Yh Andrew did Spiderman, but he was already oscar nominated.

Tom's career only works for him cause if he had been anyone else, he would have been shelved due to flops and poor reception from critics. I just dont see the interest on him anymore, and ppl may thinknim dramatic but ppl didn't think DC or MCU would flop, and yet it did. No one could anticipate Barbie/Oppenheimer's success, and here we are.

I'm sorry if my ask was negative or if you felt I was judging you but sometimes I just feel ppl aren't honest abut his career cause they just like him a bf when his peers are doing more than him with less backing. Drew Starkey was the kid he beat up in TDATT, and yet he's the muse of Luca Guadagnino's next film and a Loewe ambassador. What's Tom doing? A sequel to a prequel and another SM film that doesn't even have a director? It's a shame.

Oh boy.... 🤦🏾‍♀️

I feel like this "debate" about movie stars (who's one/who isn't one) is garnering a lot of back and forth arguments and craziness for no good reason. These articles are just sharing who they are keeping their eyes on, and who has potential to be one of the "greats" in the future of they keep playing their cards right.

In the meantime however, can't we just appreciate actors for their craft and enjoy watching their rise to fame and seeing their filmography develop? Shouldn't we be HAPPY if some newer actors are in conversation of being potential A-listers or great "movie stars"? Why are we fighting against this and turning this into some kind of competition among fandoms? 🥴

This isn't directed to you personally Anon, but just based on what I've been seeing in my inbox.

If you've been following me for any amount of time on here, you already know that I don't take any of this stuff (or talk) too seriously. I like my faves, and I love seeing what they have next coming up. I don't care about fandom wars, nor do I care about pitting actors against each other. To me, ALL actors have their merits and things that I enjoy about them. I don't feel like I need to pick and choose one actor over another. That's silly. 🙄 I wouldn't want to live in a world where there was just ONE actor. I, personally, LOVE variety.

My only point in my earlier post is that I don't think that we can be so rigid in our definition of what a "movie star" is, because imo, there are MANY factors that go into making what one would call a "movie star" and especially an A-lister. We can see this when we look at movie stars of the past. We also have to keep in mind that society in general has changed, and social media has also changed a lot.

Another thing...An A-lister is someone who's bankable, yes, but it's also someone who has been nominated for awards, or even won awards. Look at Cruise, Hanks, Denzel, Julia, etc. All of those actors have been nominated or won awards. It's part of what makes them the A-list. They're highly sought after for roles, and they have made some great career choices in their filmography. They've also had flops (EVERY actor has a flop) so it's not like they had a hit every single time. They're usually also very likable, charming, and just have star quality. It's not smthg you can put your finger on. There are MANY factors, in other words.

Anyway..... With that said....

I'm sorry Anon, but it kind of seems like your post is a thinly disguised way of trying to minimize or (yet again) express disappointment in Tom's career. 🥴

I don't have any fear for Tom's career, because I'm just here along for the ride. 🤷🏽‍♀️ While I do think that him getting most of his overnight fame due to such a huge role in a Marvel film may have hindered him somewhat as far as being typecast and being able to step outside of that superhero "box", at the same time, that role gave him the fame, money, and household name status to be able to do whatever his passion is. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Would I like to see Tom working with some more well-known directors in great roles? Of course! And he's already worked with some great ones in the past (i.e. J.A. Bayona, Ron Howard), so it would be great to see more of that in the future again.

But at the same time, I'm not going to have an aneurism if Tom never plays anything other than Spiderman for the rest of his life. 🤷🏽‍♀️ To me, I'm just happy as long as my faves are happy.

Re: Drew....

That's good for him! But I don't think Tom needs to be compared to him? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Actors are just actors. Idk why acting somehow became some type of blood sport competition, but most actors aren't thinking in that way.

I think fans need to calm down and stop viewing things in that way. Jmho. Just be happy for others?

Tom has been venturing outside of the MCU, so I think he himself doesn't just want to do MCU films his entire life. I think ppl need to realize, though, that just because an actor's career looks one way one moment, it doesn't mean that it will look like that forever. An actor's career can ebb and flow over the years. It happens. 🤷🏽‍♀️
