April 2024 Art Dump

Oki Doki! So That one very early morning that I woke up and was stuck up for over half an hour which was just long enough for me to post on tumblr about needing to organize and figure out where I stood on the entire keeping y'all up to date on the minimal work that I do with my limited energy I ended up cleaning in real life instead so today I started tackling tumblr. And boy howdy I guess I just haven't been posting my art work for y'all for some reason? I think it's laziness, I stress myself out about the tagging process and make it way more complicated than it has to be stressing myself out to the point of not posting anything. Well it gives me something to do now!

Content Warnings: Bright high saturated colors, blood, negative self talk, let me know if I need to add more

Lots of characters and playing with photo editors! So for this first batch I'm hoping the photos will stay in the same order for you all that I'm seeing them in, but in case they aren't I'll try and be a bit more descriptive so you can understand which piece I'm talking about. There's really only three different drawings here (though an argument could be made for four it isn't one that anyone is tripping over themselves to make) the rest of the differences are from a combination of filters and other different photo editing effects. I used both Canva and BeFunky (the free versions) to achieve these looks and variations and had fun tweaking the design just here and there.

The first two pieces and the only pieces with a single character feature Elena Taski, one of my favorite oc's to draw.

Underneath her there should be two pieces that have two characters in them, these characters are young children, one is a girl standing by a tree and the other is a boy running away towards a yellow line that is meant to represent part of a swingset. This is actually a panel in four panel comic of no words I did for an art class in high school, redone digitally and taken out of context. I believe this was the second panel. The characters featured are Jester and Jesse Quinn. All three of those characters are involved in the same storyline/universe of mine called Learn To Be.

The last eight photos depict another piece I did in high school, though I can't remember if it was freshman or junior year I did it. It features five characters each of whom all had individual stories going on at the time, but eventually all but one would become a part of Learn To Be. The one that didn't make it didn't do so because it was a literal self-insert lol. The characters starting from top left are Elena, Camille, Jester, June, and then said old self insert character whose name I'm feeling too dysphoric to deal with right now. Above each characters head is a negative word they think about themselves so again starting from top left it says Failure, Mistake, Useless, Worthless; And It's All Your Fault. (It's the self inserts fault you see, because gheyre the creator, so it literally is their fault all these horrible things are happening to these fiction people-) As you can guess I was doing great lmao xD

[layeredwanderings]

Got up to MHT5 before remembering I have a project I need to work on. So that's all for tonight. I find it interesting that Doc Slaughter writes her private notes expecting - hoping - that someone will read them. Maybe that's what the "more paranoid universe" bit means.

[quadrantbreaker]

i dont know if i trust people who only draw certain characters just because ive seen so much weird shit . you are giving me trust issues

[hotvintagepoll]

Propaganda

Greta Garbo (Camille, Anna Karenina, Queen Christina)—Enigmatic and alluring and made me bisexual. The perfect example of the eroticism in silent films that literally transcends text. Could literally not change anything about her expression but you knew by looking at her eyes what she was thinking. She’s so gorgeous.

Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady, Sabrina, Roman Holiday)—Growing up, Audrey Hepburn desperately wanting to be a professional ballerina, but she was starved during WWII and couldn't pursue her dream due to the effects of malnourishment. After she was cast in Roman Holiday, she skyrocketed to fame, and appeared in classics like My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's gorgeous, and mixes humor and class in all of her performances. After the majority of her acting career came to close, she became a UNICEF ambassador.

This is round 5 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Garbo:

A cold-ass Swedish WLW Sphinx. Had plans to murder Hitler that she never got around to. "She will remain always a child of vikings, moved about by a snowy dream."

First of all, she's on the money; that's how much of a treasure she is. She's beautiful in such a distinct way you need very few lines to draw her. (Drawing by Einar Nerman) She managed to be mesmerizing in both silent and sound films. She kissed a woman in Queen Christina (and probably several more in real life). She was super dry and really funny in Ninotchka. She got the hell out of Hollywood and stayed out, living for almost 50 years after her retirement.

Garbo is one of the many reasons why I'm gay. If you haven't seen Queen Christina please do, She is so gender in that film. Also her accent makes it sound like she's always talking in cursive and it's so hypnotic (or at least I think so).

She's a gay introvert, like all of us here on Tumblr.

Probably a lesbian, absolutely a mood when she retired

Mysterious and aloof, charismatic and enigmatic, with beautiful androgynous characteristics, Garbo is undoubtedly the most eccentric and unique Hollywood vintage star. Her aversion to fame and stardom makes her even more desirable to the audience, and her insane chemistry with the camera, an actress one of a kind! Her particularity and her oddity is what discerns her strongly from her hollywood co workers at the time, noone was like her and would never be like her. I think, to the utmost extent, that she deserves the title of the hottest vintage star, even though that would be an understatement of what she is!

SO gorgeous, her thick Swedish accent makes will turn your brain into pudding

Audrey Hepburn:

"She may be a wispy, thin little thing, but when you see that girl, you know you're really in the presence of something. In that league there's only ever been Garbo, and the other Hepburn, and maybe Bergman. It's a rare quality, but boy, do you know when you've found it." - Billy Wilder

Raised money for the resistance in nazi occupied Hungary. Became a humanitarian after retiring. Two very sexy things to do!

where to begin......... i wont her so bad. i literally dont know what to say.

My dude. The big doe eyes, the cheekbones, the voice. The flawless way she carried herself. She was never in a movie where she wasn't drop dead gorgeous. Oh, also the fact she raised funds against the Nazis doing BALLET and she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work.

"It’s as if she dropped out of the sky into the ’50s, half wood-nymph, half princess, and then disappeared in her golden coach, wearing her glass slippers and leaving no footprints." - Molly Haskell

"All I want for Christmas is to make another movie with Audrey Hepburn." - Cary Grant

I know people nowadays are probably sick of seeing her with all the beauty and fashion merch around that depicts her and/or Marilyn Monroe but she is considered a classic Hollywood beauty for a reason. Ironically in her day she was more of the alternative beauty when compared to many of her contemporaries. She always came off with such elegance and grace, and she was so charming. Apparently she was a delight to work with considering how many of her co-stars had wonderful things to say about her. Outside of her beauty and acting ability she was immensely kind. She helped raise funds for the Dutch resistance during WWII by putting on underground dance performances as well as volunteering at hospitals and other small things to help the resistance. During her Hollywood career and later years she worked with UNICEF a lot. Just an all around beautiful person both inside and out.

No one could wear clothes in this era like she could. She was every major designer's favorite star and as such her films are time capsules of high fashion at the time. But beyond that, she had such an elegance in her screen presence that belied a broad range of ability. From a naive princess, to a confused widow, to a loving and mischievous daughter, she could play it all.

Look at that woman's neck. Don't you want to bite it?

Revolutionaries with a Hard Fate after the end of the revolution

Gâteau, Saint-Just's friend, whose loss he never recovered from. He died in despair in 1815 during the Bourbon Restoration.

Marie Angélique Lequesne, widow of Ronsin, later divorced Turreau, who was also active in the revolution. She had a terrible marriage with him (Turreau betrayed the Ronsin couple twice, once while Ronsin was alive, pretending to be his friend and stabbed him in the back when Ronsin needed supportwhile he was being attacked as one of the representatives of the Hébertist faction during the period of the factional infighting. The second time by horribly mistreating Marie-Angélique after that he married her , even having her whipped). You will see in the links I’m sending. She also lost a son during her lifetime. It’s possible Turreau separated her from her sons’ custody. In fact, to punish her for their separation, he made her live in poverty during three years and she had to seek help from a judge to return to France. It’s likely that this poverty lasted until the end of her life, as her daughter, Alexandrine, died in misery and poverty (Alexandrine, who was also a victim of her father Turreau). Here are the posts: Letter from Turreau to Ronsin and the Complex and The Day a Judge Confronted Turreau for His Actions

Marie-Anne Babeuf, widow of Gracchus Babeuf, who had been her husband’s right hand. Before the revolution, she had already lost a daughter due to a boiling water accident. Gracchus never recovered from this loss. Then, under the Directory, their other daughter, Sophie, died of malnutrition caused by the high prices of rations (Gracchus wrote a letter of despair in prison, saying that people like Boissy d'Anglas had condemned his daughter: "I had a seven-year-old daughter; I soon received the heartbreaking news that she died from the murderous reduction of the two ounces of bread."). She was pregnant when her husband was arrested, and she walked miles with her son Emile to try to save him. She may have even tried to help him escape, according to certain letters. She continued to fight after her husband's execution and was repeatedly arrested by the police. But her son Camille went mad and committed suicide. As for her other son, Caius, he died in Vendôme during the foreign invasion of France at the age of 17. It’s possible that she even outlived her last son, Emile, as, despite being known as a militant with a strong character in adversity, and being arrested by the police under the Directory and Bonaparte, her death date is unknown. Some say she was still alive when her last son, Emile, died. She also saw many of her friends die under the mockery of justice, including Topino-Lebrun, executed under Bonaparte (see Topino Lebrun: A Revolutionary Jacobin Close to Gracchus Babeuf) or her friend René Vatar, who died in deportation (he had campaigned for her release when she was imprisoned).

Claude-Antoine Prieur, who lived his last years very painfully. He lost his beloved daughter and granddaughter. His friend Lazare Carnot died in exile, and Prieur’s friends Frilley and Monnet did not return his friendship. See the very good post ( and sad ) post by @aedesluminis on Prieur’s tragic end: https://www.tumblr.com/aedesluminis/758618574216724480/nigrit-i-dont-think-she-cared-much-about-the?source=share

Jean-Nicolas Pache. He withdrew from political life. He was close to his children, especially Sylvie Audouin (according to Mathilde Larrère, she was a fervent Hébertist and therefore supported her father ideas). He survived his daughter, who often visited him, while watching everything he had worked for collapse. I already talked about Sylvie here quickly here and her role during the revolution and the Directory with her husband Xavier Audouin ( https://www.tumblr.com/nesiacha/767044131014033408/very-mediocre-and-horrible-quote-from-buzot?source=share) . I really have to do a post about pache one day btw

Prieur de la Marne, who died in exile so poor that there was not enough money for his funeral.

Feel free to add because I know I've overlooked many and they all deserve more information

P.S: I hesitated to put Sophie Momoro in it after everything that happened in her life afterwards but if she died in poverty and had a failed marriage at least she was able to have her 3 children and her husband was not like Turreau ( here about some of the life of Sophie Momoro https://www.tumblr.com/nesiacha/758994396416016384/life-and-fate-of-sophie-momoro-n%C3%A9e-fournier-and?source=share). But she still have a sad end.

Life of Rescue Bots x Sweet Tooth

The children:

Little reminder that my calculations are wrong and Sissi and CeCe are 2 years older than supposed when Elsie and Camille are those ages, that means they’re supposed to be: Sissi a Newborn and CeCe two years old, but, well, it’s easier to make a little children than babies :v

And yes, I was temptated before I start again with the routine (I DONT WANT TO RETURN TO NORMAL CLASSES, SAVE ME FROM THIS LIFE)

But here we are, these are Elsie Rubio the bunny, the youngest child of the Rubio’s, CeCe the ferret, Doc Greene and Prof. Baranova’s little girl, Camille the crow, the hybrid that appears with Charlie at the first part of my fanfic, and Sissi (Elizabeth) the red fox, as you read in the third part, Kade and Hayley’s first child

Due to the lot of time that passed from the great crumble and the third part, it’s normal that the kids are bigger, Elsie was the first hybrid baby to born on Griffin Rock from residents that lived there before the apocalypse, two years later after the Great crumble, then, CeCe was born a lot of time later, but still is the second to born from parents that were residents before the crumble or the sick, and then Sissi

Elsie is like a little princess but it’s also a little messy, as the first one to born as hybrid in the island, she received some hostile comments, but that was so much ago that she don’t remember, so, she dedicates her time into playing with other kids and playing the flute with her mom

CeCe is still a genius, her big hair don’t let the rest see her ears, but has a really good ear, she’s always running and is as hyperactive as a ferret, and definitely a menace to society if she wasn’t enough polite

Camille is shy, prefers to sit in silence watching the rest play, but also enjoys science and medicine, he even dreams into being a doctor some day, he can’t talk because of his voice, but can mimic lots of sounds and knows sign language, also, he can’t fly yet but is learning

Sissi is an enigma, because know you see her as little and shy, maybe untrusting, but wait for two years more and you will see the most dangerous menace for all Griffin Rock, because she likes to bite and loves to make jokes (Kade’s fault, all the karma is finally falling on him) and is also too curious and prefer mud than normal baths, nobody knows how she ended up as rescuer when she grow up, but everyone said the same of Hector (Heatwave) when he was a teen

I don’t have a lot to share about them, because what it’s not about the crumble you would probably know, so, meh, in compensation, I made these

That’s all, good night

[im-out-of-it]

part 11 of season 1, episode 13 continued

157. “now give us the book of the white.”-clary. bold of you to assume Camille knows where a warlock book is lmao

158. Camille: I’d love to but I can’t. I have no idea where it is. I’m sure it’s here somewhere. but if the idea was to hide it, telling me would defeat the purpose. (DUH) Goodbye Simon, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you. I wish I could my little caramel but don’t worry, we’ll see each other soon.

(love that she pronounces caramel correctly)

159. but what Camille meant was not my problem, bye

160. guess we found the book. see clary, that wasn’t so hard. you just had to use your brain

161. this was meant for the other post but she does have eternity on her hands

162. I love how jace and clary both don’t listen to anyone and they both act shocked when that happens. Jace ran off and wouldn’t listen to clary and then when jace needs clary to leave, she won’t listen. fuck, they really are soulmates in selfishness recklessness and impulsiveness wrapped up in a bow

163. ah shit this is awkward

164. the Valentine show version and book version is always funny to me because in the books, Valentine couldn’t be bothered with clary which is valid

165. I’m sorry but the way he’s holding his weapon IS SO CRINGE

166. it’s not a fucking wand

167. at least Izzy gave it her best

168. also, are we to believe that valentines men are stronger and upper handed Magnus????? I’ll let that one go this time

169. see ya, good riddance jace

170. I don’t know why everyone is so desperate to save jace

171. I have a problem with Jace and clary’s acting and their facial expressions. I DONT KNOW WHY IT BOTHERS ME

172. I don’t know if it’s because I’m so used to the talent Matt and Harry have but clary and Jace always seem to be doing it in such an extra way. like with Magnus and Alec, their expressions are subtle and I don’t feel as if they take over the scene. I don’t know if I’m making any sense but these ones are just over the top

173. also, if you think about it, these two met just a few days ago. Magnus wasn’t crying on the floor or whatever when Alec told him he wasn’t interested. I know it’s not the same but whatever. like even the way Magnus and Alec look at the wedding, it doesn’t ruin or take over the scene in a way

174. I don’t know if it bothers anyone but it makes it hard to take it serious and actually enjoy the scene. it’s too over the top for me

175. and are we supposed to be sold on their epic romance or whatever? I don’t think they have that much chemistry to begin with. I’m a biased Malec fan and they CREATED chemistry but I don’t see it work jace and clary.

176. also Alec should’ve let her go. what they needed to do with clary was send her problematic ass to idris. let them deal with her. I could see a whole rebranding of the show. take away what was in the books and create different storylines. Jace isn’t worth it and isn’t worth being a main character, literally anyone else deserves the gift she was given, and there are so much more interesting characters.

Maia, Simon, Raphael, ragnor, Catarina, if they had a few episodes going back in time and I’m talking Jem, Tessa if they changed her, Will if he was changed, more Gabriel, Gideon, Alastair, Thomas, Mathew like there are so much worthy characters. and I know it’s hard to add the prequel characters but there was so much more content they could have used or came up with (and I also realize they didn’t have those rights but I just wish the books had a different writer)

177. the whole jace always needs saving was a tiresome nightmare. it was old the first time and the second and the third. like I don’t genuinely understand how book fans exist (y’all are allowed to exist) but the stories are so fucking repetitive. you can seriously predict the whole of TMI. and it’s okay to be a fan but when y’all defend them to the highest superior power and treat CC as some god, it’s really weird

178. and the show made clear they weren’t going to follow the storylines from the books completely. Im just saying this show would’ve been much more if the CLACE shit got cut. there’s no need for them to be the focus when there are downworlders out there and more exciting and fascinating shadowhunters

179. it’s just how I feel and I understand a lot of people won’t agree especially the ones devoted to the books. but I’ve said this before: the series could’ve been better in the hands of an author who actually cared about all the characters and not their basic, insufferable incest, insert favs. the fact that Malec stole the show and was the fan favorite is an example of this. this is what happens when the writers actually care about other characters who aren’t jace and clary

180. and we didn’t need 6 books of jace needing saving, and at least the show tried to switch it up as best as they could. me if I was in charge: (not sure the show or movie but I WAS LIKE ME AS FUCK)

going onto 181, and about five minutes left so almost there. probably just one part remaining 😌 (at least I hope y’all are having fun)

[ladysophiebeckett]

Gabriel is so dumb I'm sorry he needs to read the room. I'm glad Camille seems to be gone for good but now with the news that Lucas might not return I wonder if he's not gonna end up with up after all

first things first, i watch 'emily in paris' for emily cooper and her mad men antics. so if they were to pull a mindy project (in the mindy project the male lead left the show but came back for the final act) where gabriel is written off bc the actor wants to do something else, i think that's fine. provided he comes back.

second, gabriel is really dumb but he's always been dumb. (lucas bravo pls watch ur own show)

i briefly talked about his recent complaints here which is just a rehash of all he said throughout the part 2 press tour.

in past season interviews his biggest lament is not having scenes with other cast members (specifically louis laviscount\alfie). and darren star knows this (he has said it in front of him). so i think, provided bravo stays for s5, he'll be given his own side plot with alfie and antoine as he navigates post michelin star fame and watching emily move on with her life. something positive to balance out the sad.

i think he'll come back bc a job is a job, he's just frustrated bc he's annoyed by his character. it sounds like theyre gonna be renegotiating their contracts, so u know more money and time (show's longevity is gonna be on the table).

as of now, i dont see how the show can end without emily and gabriel ending up together. bravo can temporarily leave but i still believe they're endgame. too much time has been spent on them and gabriel's character is and always will be emily's true romantic focus and prospect. anyway, we'll see what happens. s5 is a long ways away.

Summary: This is the second part of the tale of the surviving child of Celebrimbor of Eregion and how she fared through the Ages of the world. From the Fall of Ost-in-Edhil to Imladris and the vastness of Second Age Eriador, the fight against Sauron seems never ending. Plans have been set in motion across the Misty Mountains, but, in Lindon, many tasks await.

Have I mentioned how much I love OCs? This is literally one of the best OCs I've read, flaws and all, and the way the whole thing is written is chefs kiss. Cant decide if I'm sweating from the amount of sobbing I've done with this work *and the previous/first part* or because of the delicious angst.

your veins are empty of dust by @echo-bleu — 1.7k — Rating (G)

Summary: Anairë finds her late one day in her workshop, surrounded by slabs of stone larger than her. Nerdanel is hammering forcefully at one of them, the barest hints of an elven shape already taking form in the marble. Bitter, stinging tears run down her cheeks and into her collar, and her arms ache with exhaustion.

The body is only barely sketched, but the face is already chiselled, smooth curves and angular cheekbones.

Fëanáro emerges out of the marble, looking like he’s about to take life.

(Across the sea, her sons lead a funeral.)

Frothing. Gnawing. I love the writing. The angst. Fucking mourning. Gimme all and then hurt me some more.

Summary: Elrond had hours to spare, and if Maglor wished to spend the short time they had together reminiscing, he would not blame him for it. As Maglor began singing, Elrond settled himself across the clearing in his own bed of autumn flowers. Maglor’s voice resounded in the clearing, clear and powerful, just as it had upon his fortress’s ramparts as he pushed back Morgoth’s forces with a Song, just as Elrond assumed it must have echoed before the poisoning of the Trees in his family’s halls as Feanor crafted his cursed jewels.

You're the worst- part five

Warning; discussion of smut, Billy being a dick but also being kinda soft

Billy x fem reader/ enemies to lovers

Camille unlocked the front door, gasping in shock when Mariah stood in the hallway, arms folded and a smirk on her face.

"Dont start" Camille warned.

Mariah smirked. "I was simply going to ask if you had a good night" she stated with a grin.

"I don't know" Camille half lied. She didn't remember all of the night, but it must have brrn good judging by the fact she just orgasmed in a moving vehicle.

"Mmm" Mariah hummed tapping her nails against her arm.

"What did you see?" Camille winced cringing at herself.

Mariah shrugged. "Just you and Billy locking lips at the pool table" she stated.

Camille groaned. "What else?" She asked.

Mariah smirked. "You guys left the club" she stated.

Camille gauped. "And you just let me?" She shrieked wincing when her head started to pound.

"Girl, I don't think you would have come with me if I tried" Mariah stated. "You were clinging onto him for dear life, hardly coming up for air" she stated.

"Oh my God, what the fuck is wrong with me?" She stated.

Mariah laughed. "You're single and you wanted to hook up with a hot guy" she shrugged.

"But why did it have to be him of all people? I could have gone with anyone" Camille stated throwing her arms up in the air.

"Well, I guess no other guy would do" Mariah stated with a small sticker.

"I'm going for a bath" Camille stated moving passed her. "Glsd you think this is so funny" Camille threw over her shoulder as she climbed the stairs.

Mariah hurried after her. "Okay, I'm sorry but I'm just happy I was right" she stated.

Canille grunted as she toyed with the zipper of his jacket, the damn thing just wouldn't budge. "I need you to be a friend not gloat" she stated fiddling the zipper.

Mariah sighed, walking up to her and moving her hands. "I'm sorry, I just want you to get out there and live" she stated unzipping the stubborn zippers, the material practically falling off her shoulders. "Guessing this is his?" Mariah nodded toward the jacket.

Camille nodded. "He gave it to me so I could cover up my modesty" she replied cringing as she scanned her outfit.

Mariah smiled. "That was nice of him" she shrugged. "I'll go run you a bath" she called over her shoulder bustling into the bathroom.

Camille got a towel out of the linen closet, before going to her room and peeling the fabric away. She smelt and looked lile sje belonged on the streets, she thougjt before shrugging her a dressing gown on.

Camille sat on the edge of the bath tub  dipping her hand in the water to check the temperature.

"So, are you going to tell me what happened?" Mariah asked handing her some bubble bath.

Camille took it from her, popping the cap open and pouring it into the running water. "Nothing to tell" she stated.

"Oh come on" Mariah whined.

"Turn around" Camille instructed before turning off the tap.

Mariah huffed as she turned to face the wall. "I refuse to believe nothing happened, I mean this is Billy were talking about" she stated.

Camille rolled her eyes, peeling off her dressing gown and letting it pool by her feet before stepping into the warm water. A content sigh left her mouth as she sunk into the bubbles. "You can turn around" she called out.

Mariah turned around, quirking a brow at her friend before plopping down om the closed toilet seat lid. "Come on don't deprive me" she begged.

Camille shrugged. "We had sex" she stated bluntly.

Mariah gasped. "And?" She urged.

Camille furrowed her brow. "And thats it" she stated.

"Come on I need the details, how was it? Was he big?" Mariah asked.

Camille grimaced. "Ewww, that's your partners friends your asking about" she cringed scrunching up her nose.

Mariah rolled her eyes. "Friends share details, spill" she commanded.

Camille sighed. "Some parts are fuzzy" she admitted. "All I remember was the fact that nobody has ever made me cum that much" she admitted sheepishly.

Mariah squealed. "Oh my god! You loved it" she cheered.

"Keep your voice down!" Camille whispered harshly.

"Danny isn't even here" Mariah stated. "So he was good then?" She asked.

Camille nodded. "Better than I'd like to admit" she nodded. "I don't remember getting home, all I remember is one moment I'm at the bathroom sink and the next were fucking like rabbits" she stated her cheeks blushing a crimson shade.

"Camille! You dirty girl" Mariah joked with a wink.

Camille sigjed resting her head against the cool wall. "He said we had sex four times" she stared sheepishly.

"What?!" Mariah exclaimed. "Jesus, you both have stamina don't think me and Danny have ever done it four times" sje stated.

"He could by lying, I told him I didn't remember any of the night which wasn't strictly true" camille admitted.

"What? Why would you do that?" Mariah asked.

"Because its not happening again, end of story" camille declared.

"You could just have some fun, doesn't have to be serious and if Billy makes you feel good, then why not" Mariah suggested.

"Because I hate him" Camille fired back.

"Yes, but you don't hate his penis" Mariah replied.

"Ugh, please don't remind me" Camille stated sinking her head back into the bubbles.

"I'll leave you to wash yourself, don't drown in there" Mariah stated. "Oh, and by the way were going hiking tomorrow and Danny has invited a friend from work, he may be able to help you forget about Billy" Mariah threw over hernshoulder.

"Hiking?! Are you kidding me?" Camille groaned as she sat up, hearing the sound of Mariah giggling as she shut the bathroom door.

Camille huffed flopping back beneath the warm scented bubbles. How could things get anymore awkward?

..................................

Turns out things could get alot more awkward. That afternoon, Camille has decided to try and get out of her pit. She had been marinating in her bed since her bath this morning and she needed a drink, or else she was simply going to die of thirst.

She opened the door and stepped into the hallway.

"I'm telling you man, she was just another chick" she heard a familiar voice state.

"Dude, don't be a dick" Danny replied. " she's my girls best friend" he added.

Camille narrowed her eyes, stopping dead in her tracks to eaves drop. She could see Danny in the hallway, his phone on loud speaker in one hand whilst he was filling out forms witu another.

"Yeah and I get that, but this doesn't change the fact I think she's a stuck up bitch" the voice retorted.

"Billy-" Danny started.

Camille bunched up her fists in rage. That complete asshole.

"What? It's the truth, plus she pretend to not remember last night. She wasn't as drunk as she makes out dude, clearly she just wanted some attention" Billy accused.

Camille snapped, marching towards Danny with heavy footsteps, he looked up at her with wide eyes.

"Camille-" he started, his mouth hanging open when she snatched the phone from him.

"Listen here asshole, I did forget about last night because frankly you weren't even that memorable. And don't worry, I still hate you so nothing has changed" she ranted into the phone before shoving it back in Danny's hand, and marching off down the hallway like her ass was on fire.

"You think she heard me?" She heard Billy ask.

"Uh huh" Danny stated.

"Dude, why the fuck did you have me on loudspeaker?" She heard Billy accuse.

She didn't hear Dannys reply, stomping down the stairs dramatically and into the kitchen. The nerve of that asshole she fumed to herself. Hopefully, this new friend of Dannys would distract her.

.......................................................................

Sunday the 23rd December arrived quicker than Camille liked, despite it nearing Christmas. The sky in California was still bright blue and the air held a mild chill, which was diffrent to New York where snow had been littering the ground.

Camille was due to fly home tomorrow, she hoped her flight wouldn't be cancelled. The thought made her feel slightly sick, she would be glad to be away from Billy but she would miss Mariah and Danny. Plus, the thought of spending Christmas alone made her stomach churn. Every year, she spent it witu Brad and his family since she was an only child and her parents were nowhere to be seen. But it appeared this year it would be quiet, and she would be having a dinner for one.

"Camille, come on I told Danny we would meet them there for 9" Mariah called out.

"Okay!" Camille called back braiding her hair and applying minimal make up. Dannt said he would be bringing a new friend, what harm would ot do to look nice.

"You ready?" Mariah knocked just as she shimmer on her vest top over her lycra leggings.

"Yep" Camille replied opening the door.

"Wow, you look nice" Mariah complimented with a wink.

"Thanks, so do you" CAmille replied back tugging her trainers on.

"Let's go" Mariah instructed linking arms as they left the house.

The parking lot was pretty empty for a Sunday morning, camille figured the residents of Cali liked to sleep in. It was the day of rest after all, she thougjt as Mariah put her small car into park.

"Oh, I think I see Dannys car" she stated.

Camille squinted, spotting the famialr car a few spaces over from theirs. Her heart best nervously at the prospect of meeting a new face, let alone a new guy.

"Hey!" Danny called waving at the pair as they came to stand infronr on his.

"Whats the matter?" Mariah asked noting the sheepish look on Dannys face.

"Welll- he started sxrarching his head.

"Jesus, we gonna stand here all day" a.famiald voice stated.

The car door opened, a steep black boot stepping out as a cloud of smoke flew up into the air. The door slammed with force as Billy stepped around the side of the vehicle a cigarette in his mouth.

Camille gauped. "Are you shitting me?!" She exclaimed

Billy smirked around his cigarette. " Nice to see you too, princess" he remarked witu h sligjt venom in his voice.

"I thought you were bringing Mark" Mariah hissed through gritted teeth.

"Not you too, thought you didn't mind my comlany" Billy exclaimed with a shit eating grin, clearing getting off on the girls reaction.

"I was, but he got food poisoning and Billy asked what I.was doing today and-" danny rambled.

"Since when do you like hiking?" Camille threw out at him.

Billy narrowed his eyes. "Since when did you?" He shot back mumbling around his cigarette. He took another drag blowing it on the direction of Camille, before stomping it out. "Oh wait, you actually thougjt you'd be meeting another guy?" He asked sarcasm lacing his tone.

"Well, since I'm such a stuck up bitch I wonder why you agreed to come" she threw back.

Billy glowered. "Because old Danny boy here, told me Mariah was bringing a friend" he stated. "And you're bot the only friend she had, infact i was picturing a hot blonde" he chided.

"Enough" Mariah called out. "Behave" sje warned pointing at Billy.

"No need to tell me, I'm going home" Camie stated.

"No your not, you don't know the way and I have the keys" Mariah stated holding them up.

"You can't expect me to walk with him" she hissed.

"Darling, you've done alot more with me" Billy crooned with a smirk.

"Shut up! Don't you remind me" Camille warned.

Mariah shrugged. "Come on, please it's yoir last day" Mariah begged holding onto her arm.

Camille sighed. "I'll do it for you, but if he touches me I'm going to go insane" she whispered to Mariah before taking the bag from her. "Oh, and here's your jacket" she treated throwing the bag at Billy, the blonde barely catching it.

"We were gonna drop it off after the hike" Mariah added.

"Well, thats saved you a trip" Danny stated clapping his hands, giving the group a sheepish look when they glared at him in return.

Camille turned on her heel practically dragging Mariah with her, as they stomped up the dirt path. She just needed to get through this with as minimal interaction as possible, nothing could go wrong.

.............................

The hike was going quote well, Mariah had managed to stick with Camille whilst the boys stayed behind then and chatted amongst themselves.

"Oh shit" Camille whispered as she stopped in her tracks. Her worst fear staring right back at her, a rickety bridge that looked like it could plummet at any moment stood there. She scanned the area, her heart sinking when there didn't appear to be a dirt path.

"Oh no, hun you don't have to go we can turn back" Mariah urged holding onto her arm.

Camille shook her head, she didn't want to look like an ass, and she didn't want to spoil the hoke for her friend.

"Whats the hold up? Billy called out grafinf on her last nerve.

"Its a bridge" Mariah confirmed. "Camille has been scared of them since we.were kids" she stated.

"Mariah!" Camille hissed elbowing her in the ribs.

"Ow!" Mariah complained wincing and rubbing the bruised area. "What was that for?" She asked.

"Dont tell him that!" She hissed.

"Well, if you don't want to do it I'm sure you can quit and go home" billys condescending voice called out.

Camille huffed. "No, I've got over my fear I'm not a kid" camille retorted marching towards her doom before anyone cold stop her.

She was in fact lying, and found this out when sje grabbed onto the rope and put her foot on the first slat. Her heart beat wildly in her chest, blood gushing around her ears as her hands became so calmly she feared she cooldt hold onto the rope. Her grip tightened as she took another step the slat wobbling slightly making jer stomach gurgle.

"Camille, I'm behind you" Mariah stated gently. "Are you okay? Just say and ee can get off" Mariah stated.

"Come on slow poke" Billy called out.

"Billy, shut up" Mariah hissed at him.

"I'm going!" Camille called back, shakyness evident in her voice. "Come on feet move, irs not that far" she encouraged.

She took another step, her foot slipping slightly making her scream. She held onto the rope so tightly ze was sure sje would have friction burns on her hand. She looked down at her feet, big mistake.

Her stomach churned when sje noted the floor below, and how high theu were currently. Her legs became like a led weight.

"Camille, are you okay?" Mariah asked.

Camille shook her head, her vision turning black as she began to slump down to the side, hugging the rope. "I'm.gonna be sick" she stated screwing her eyes shut.

"Shit" Mariah swore.

"The fuck is the hold up?" Billy asked as she heard his footsteps still. "Oh, shit" he muttered.

Camille let out a scared whimper when the bridge rocked slightly, her skin became clammy as she felt a hand on the side of her face.

"Camille, open your eyes" Billy urged gently his finger gently touching her eye lids.

Camille shook her head. "Can't" she chocked out.

"Hey" he whispered his thumb brushing her lip. "I gotta make sure you ain't lost your sight" he stated.

Camille fluttered her eyes open, bright blue eyes started back at her, concern etched onto his chiselled face. "You okay?" He asked.

Camille shook her head, he grip on the ropes tightening. "I looked down" she murmured.

Billy nodded. "You think you can take my hand?" He sasked stretching his hand out to her.

Camille shook her head furiously. "I'll fall if I let go" she croaked tears pooling in her eyes. She felt so pathetic, crying like.a baby and infront of her nemesis, he was probably going to laugh and mock her any.minute.

Billy huffed, reaching out to gently cup her jaw. The coolness if his metal rings made her shiver slightly as they made contact eith her skin. "You won't fall, I've got you" he stated. Camille bit her lip hesitantly, her eyes flitting to her hands which were in a death grip. "Hey" Billy nudged her shoulder  getting Canille to focus on him. "I promise, I won't let you fall" he stated.

"I'll fall and die" Camille hiccuped.

"You won't die, not on my watch" Billy stated reaching out his hand towards hers, slowly he unwrapped her fingers from the tight rope, threading his fingers through hers tightly. "I got you" he promised sensing her panic. "Can I take the other one?" He asked nodding to her other hand.

Camille widened her eyes in panic. "I can't" she croaked. "I'm scared" she whispered.

"You need to trust me" Billy urged gently reaching out to grab her hand. "Take my hand" he urged tapping on her fingers.

Camille gulped slowly prying her fingers away, before threading them through Billy's tanned ones. Billy slowly stood up careful not to rock the bridge, before slowly bringing Camille up with him his hands immediately wrapping around her waist.

"You're up" Billy stated.

"Oh, shit" camille croaked panicking, her legs feeling like jello. "I can't do it" she admitted looking away in shame, her panic heating up when she looked down again accidentally. Her legs threatening to crumple underneath her.

"Dont panic" Billy instructed before bending down slowly, putting his hand under her legs and lifting her up. Her face fell into his chest, tears pooling down her xheeks in both fear and embarrassment. "Go".he instructed nodding to Mariah who was looking on in concern.

Camille couldn't even remember crossing the bridge, she had her head buried in Billy's shirt until he gently plopped jrr down on the solid ground, her back leaninf against the rough bark tree.

"Oh god" she croaked furiously wiping her tears away.

Mariah and Danny both looked at her with concern, whilst Billy sat adjacent to her witj a stoic expression on his face as he wordlessly took her hand in his plucking away at the splinters in her fingers.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry hun" Mariaj stated. "I should have researched this trail" Mariah cried out guilt etched on her face.

"Its okay" Camille croaked fuerowinf her brows at Billy who was currently inspecting her left hand before dropping it by the side, je took the right one and repeated the same thing. She tried to ignore the tingle on her skin when his hand touched hers. "Ow" she hissed.

"Sorry" Billy stated flatly not aoinding sorry at all, before dropping her hand by her side.

Camille swallowed her pride. "Thank you" she whispered daring to look at Billy.

Billy nodded. "I need a piss" he grunted back at her, before getting to his feet. He wordlessly reached out his hand and Camile took it, wobbling slightly ad he pulled her to her feet.

"There's a cafe down the road" Danny stated. "Why don't we get something to eat? Calm our nerves" he suggested pointing to the sign.

"Good idea" Mariah chimed in.

"I may be sick if I eat" Camille stated. "But I could do with a drink" she replied. Billy nodded choosing not to reply as the foursome slowly made their way yo the carfe.

" You okay to walk hun?" Mariah asked.

"Yeah I think so" Camille replied still feeling shaky as she took a slow step.

Mariah nodded. "Ugh he's going the wrong way" she muttered. "Danny!" She called out walking towards her partner accidentally leaving jer to linger beside Billy  who still hadn't said a word.

"I'm scared of clowns" he blurted out suddenly.

Camilles head snapped to the aide, her mouth hanging open in shock. "What?" She asked.

"You're scared of bridges" he stated. "Well, I'm scared of clowns they are weird looking fuckers" he snarled his lip curled up.

Camille let out a small giggle. "So are bridges" she replied.

Billy threw her a smirk. "Thougjt you might shit yourself" he grunted.

"Thats disgusting" Camille retorted. "Thank you thougj, I don't think I'd have got off there without you" she admitted.

"If I left you to die, Mariah would have jsd my head" he replied.

Camille swallowed the pang of disappointment that shot through her, she shouldn't have been surprised. 

"Right, well I need to use the restroom" Camille stated noting Billy furrowing his brow in confusion. She didn't give him chancd to answer as she scurried past him and toward the cafe. She needed to get away, it was becoming to tense, a part of her hoped he helped her because he wanted too. Her feeling were becoming muddled and she was determined not to let them get in the way.

lmol analysis Malec Version from Taylor's TTPD (again this is the breakup period) I have many feelings "Oh, what a valiant roar What a bland goodbye The coward claimed he was a lion" This is the line that reminds me of Alec the most, he tried so hard to be brave, to be sure of and to commit to his relationship with Magnus. But he was so scared after all, all those years of repressing his identity and putting himself second weren't just going to go away, and he caved under Camille's temptation and manipulation. Not enough to be a betrayal, but just wavered enough to hurt his lover's heart. "In your suit and tie, in the nick of time You lowdown boy, you stand up guy Holy Ghost, you told me I'm The love of your life" THIS. THIS IS SO ALEC. Throughout the course of his relationship with Magnus and the war, he grew from a moody insecure teenager to someone who was responsible, braver, honest and much more happy with himself. Granted, he still had his insecurities, but just imagine Magnus looking at Alec in a suit at some formal event and noting how much he's grown "When your impressionist paintings of Heaven Turned out to be fakes Well, you took me to hell, too" I interpret this line as Alec's Nephilim lineage supposedly being superiorly holy, yet rendering him unable to be himself. This pains Magnus, because when the supposedly morally superior Shadowhunter turns out not be morally perfect, when the one you love most hurts you because he is weak in the places that you are weak too, that hurts. "You said I'm the love of your life About a million times" *sobs* "You talked me under the table Talking rings and talking cradles I wish I could un-recall How we almost had it all" THIS. THIS. I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL COME BACK FROM THIS. THANK GOD IT DIDNT STAY TRUE but they almost had it all *screams* Magnus I bet you talked about that under the table Imagine Alec just trying to get over how he almost had the love of his life Some comparisons- "I felt aglow like this Never before and never since" *gasp* the semi-loveatfirstsight at the party "But I felt a hole like this Never before, and ever since" YOU KNOW WHO FELT A HOLE YOU KNOW WHICH TWO PEOPLE FELT HOLES??? EVER SINCE A BREAKUP AND 'NOT LIKE THIS' BEFORE??? "If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary You and I go from one kiss to gettin married" "If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary What we thought was for all time was momentary" This line kills me. Magnus really considered being together with Alec forever (or ending his own mortality), and it just poof went away. And it would have seemed so short compared to the lifetime he lived, but WE ALL KNOW HOW TORN HE WAS OVER IT

"Dancing phantoms on the terrace Are they second-hand embarrassed That I can't get out of bed?" Magnus TAT TAT TAT he definitely couldn't get out of bed, and was definitely feeling like a failure for fumbling his 500 year old younger lover

"You cinephile in black and white All those plot twists and dynamite Mr. Steal your girl boy, then make her cry" Who's a cinephile and who's full of plot twists and winding stories and stole Alec's heart? A certain warlock, I think. High-key stole Alec when he was hung up on Jace. Also though I support Magnus for going no-con during breakup period, Alec probably had anxiety over his phone like the second-most in the entire series(the first being Jace bc his parabatai is trying to get himself killed every two seconds). I can't how many time bby boy was just pining over his phone

"Who's gonna tell me the truth When you blew in with the winds of fate And told me I reformed you" Alec really didn't know the weight of a relationship with an immortal entailed. Izzy and Jace and Clary all thought the relationship was great for him, which it was, to help him grow into a better person, but, no one could have warned him about the looming anxiety of becoming an insignificant piece in Magnus' long line of histories. And Magnus definitely told Alec how much he meant to him, but like Alec rightfully called him out on, didn't want to talk about the obvious gap between what Alec knew and what Magnus had experienced.

"I'm combing through the braids of lies 'I'll never leave' ..."

Alec probably thought this. Sniff sniff.

"Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire Your arson's match your somber eyes" DO YOU REMEMBER MAGNUS' DREAMS?! DO YOU REMEMBER THEM HUH!HOW HE DREAMT OF FIRE?? and boy does Magnus have somber eyes and their relationship went up in flames before the war started "And I'll still see it until I die You're the loss of my life"

WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I've said it before and I'll say it again. If one of them had somehow not survived during the war, or not have gotten back together after, they would be the loss of each other's life. This would be for Alec's mortal life and Magnus' immortal one. I said, "I don't mind, it takes time" I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed Alec, when he first met Magnus; or Magnus, when his eye was caught. They both were cautious, and were both willing to try it out slow. I don't think any of them expected it to go as far as it did, BUT THEY COULDNT HELP IT "Who's gonna stop us from waltzing Back into rekindled flames? If we know the steps anyway" YES. Please do so. Honestly I don't think even if they were still broken up after war, they could've resisted getting back together in the following years. But thank the Angel that wasn't the case. I rest my case.

THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S LOVE OF THEIR LIVES. THE END.

i am fuckin obsessed w boiling point rn and ur the only person who talks about it i just..it’s so good i… specifically jamie and his self harm/cutting.. and emily.. and bolton… and ALL OF THEM. why are they all SO GOOD. god. i haven’t even finished it bc i just keep rewatching scenes over and over bc it’s so good and amazing and omg im LOSING SLEEEEEP ARGHRGRHRGEH sigh i just need to talk ab jamie and emily??? hello?? mother son relationship? when she’s crying that she can’t lose him? how she rides with him to the hospital? how HE LIVES W HER??? sigh i love them so much…..

JAMIE. my boy. hes so sad and so sweet and the shows portrayal of sh is, imo, really really good. I for one quite happy with it. but. more content of him tho when?? ep3?? we coulda seen him in the hospital again or something but no?? the one flaw in the series id argue.

[princesssmars]

gossip girl reboot 2x07 spoilers below !

i feel so bad for monet yall. she was upgraded to main character for maybe 3 episodes and now shes being treated like dirt. everyone of the main cast has had a or multiple love interest(s), and all shes gotten is a queerbaiter ?? seriously ??

and DONT even get me started on her mom. i liked the notion of monet getting her cutthroatness from her mom, and i was excited to see them as a mother daughter duo with flaws of course. but camille just...replacing monet with zoya is cruel, and even crueller when she criticizes monets actions when girl YOU are the parent, YOU are what shes influenced by !!!

luna is still barely a side character who we know nothing about and just gives the others advice. not much else to say really.

dont even get me started on julien and audrey. i went from disliking julien and liking audrey to way the opposite in a WEEK 😭 audrey is making no sense to me. first she wants to reconnect with her dad and his mistress, gets mad when julien calls them out and says maybe they really are in love and seemed to believe julianna (the mistress idk her name) when she said they didnt cheat, gets mad when gg posts a most likely fake email that julien sent to her dad saying she saw them, then gets even more mad when julien tries to talk to the girl to get the truth and gets manipulated. this is on audrey to me because i would not trust the man and woman who so thoroughly broke my mother down like we saw kiki at the start of season 1.

i hope georgina and kate both go to jail im so sick of seeing them yall i stg.

obies storyline is still so....fucking boring and hes do disconnected from the group the contrast to his scenes is so jarring. and i saw him trying to flirt with julien like PLEASE dont try her after you got mad at HER because she exposed ur lil girlfriend was a brother fucker.

aki is just kinda there. but i like him much more this season so he can just be there and im cool <3

max is trying to win the approval of audreys cheatin ass dad who is judging him and. oh the irony.

still heavily dislike zoya i wish i didnt but oooo lets just say you can tell shes a fifteen year old girl (incredibly annoying).

i wrote this 33 mins into the 57 min episode so i might rant more if something pisses me off. im gonna write more monet fics since the writers wanna do her dirty. bye.

[aidansplaguewind]

Tbh I think Aidan is a nice guy and not the type to date a much younger woman. I don’t think he has a history of doing that, and he’s said that the Petyr/Sansa stuff makes him uncomfortable. It’s just his characters who are creepy, not him.

Well no, I think it's pretty well established that Aidan wouldn’t date a woman in her early 20s. I'm sorry anon but did you just stop by my blog for the first time today? Because I've already addressed this on many occasions. No one thinks Aidan is a creep, no one has called Aidan a creep, and we've established that he didn't approve of a romantic relationship between Petyr and Sansa. (However, I've never heard or read him say that it makes him uncomfortable. Just that he doesn't see it romantically because he has a kid her age.) But that's because she's VERY young. The age of his kids young.

And as far as his history, Camille is 7 years younger than he is. I dont know how old baby mamma is. And those are the only two women he's been publicly linked to. He's very private. But I garuantee you that between baby mamma and Camille, he didn’t become a monk. And we'll never know the ages of whomever warmed his bed on those nights. But, IF he were single, I don't think he'd be opposed to dating someone my age or a few years younger, like early 30s. That's 15 to 20 years his junior, which IS much younger. So I don't entirely agree with you that he would never do that.

And I'm not just saying that because I want him. The girl who played his girlfriend in 12 Rounds is almost a year younger than me and in the behind the scenes footage he goes on about their kissing scene and says she is a "very, very sexy kisser" and even jokes that the kissing scene was all his idea. So I think it's safe to say he's sexually attracted to women at least 15 years his junior, possibly up to 20. Because 20 years younger than him is still a 35-year-old grown ass woman. I don't think he sees a 30-something as someone who is unequal to him. I don't know how many 30 some year old women you know, but myself and the ones I know don't take shit from a man because he's older than us. (In fact, I got told by a 62 year old man that I'd never find a man because of my mouth. 🤣 Not my cussing but because I stand up for myself and express my opinions.)

Look, I love the boy and yes he is a sweetheart, but sometimes I think some fans want to put him on a Saintly little pedestal and completely forget the fact that he is still just a man.

Some fans think he's too shy and pure to be seen as sexy and yet he buys a fan a drink who calls him sexy to his face. On the red carpet women taking photos were cat-calling him and saying "ooh look at that tongue action" and the little fucker had the BIGGEST shit-eating grin on his face loving every second of the sexual innuendo.

I bring this up because it goes hand-in-hand with the fans who think he's too pure or saintly or something to look at a woman much younger than him and want to fuck the living shit out of her.

It's just not a very realistic viewpoint of a 55 year old man. Personally, I like the idea that he's a little naughty but for those who like to see celebs as super sweet and pure and wholesome, could be at risk of having that bubble popped, I'm just saying. I learned that lesson a very long time ago. Especially when it came to my idea of what older men are like. They're good in bed but the vast majority of them are pervy as fuck. More so than younger men in my experience.

The shy, quiet ones are often the kinkiest too btw. And are usually way better at it than the ones that brag.

Oh, and that picture of him talking to Natalie Dormer at a GOT premiere one year...his hand on her tit looked like no accident. I'm sorry, there's no way that was an accident. She's not crazy younger, she's 14 years younger, but her age isn't my point. My point is, he's still a MAN.

Oh and I just remembered this picture where he looks like he's absolutely hating the female attention. (Note sarcasm)

Okay, sorry that got long-winded. I just wanted to put this topic to bed for the last time with all of my thoughts, opinions, and evidence.

Final verdict: no one thinks Aidan is a creep. It's an actual FACT that he does not approve of Petyr and Sansa romantically. He IS a super sweet guy. But he has a dick attached to him. He isn't perfect. He is only a human man.

25, 31, 43? (I am phishing for movie recs)

25. A movie you’ve seen that you think no one else’s here will have heard of?

try these

Four Lions (2010) - one of the funniest dark comedies, strong actors, very fucked up, but i dont see people talk about it often which is crazy.

Dating Amber (2020) - coming of age friendship movie between two queer kids. i watched this in cinema and it got me so good. funny and touching

Network (1976) - another dark comedy satire about media, sharp writing, sharp dialogue, still relevant even now

Fail Safe (1964) - Dr. Strangelove's less favorable sibling. similar plotline, but this one is humorless and takes a much more harrowing path. if you like slow burn bleak shit, this one can be good

A Death in the Gunj (2016) - this was recommended by clem. a slowburn character study, really soft and explosive at the end

Anatomy of a Murder (1959) - this is not a niche movie. actually pretty sure its one of the most famous courtroom movies of all time. but im recommending this since its an oldie, but such a killer

31. Favorite animated film.

Try these

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (1999) - gorgeous animation, intense solemn atmosphere

It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) - experimental animation, and probably the only film that has ever really managed to evoke feelings into the visual medium this rawly. hard to explain, but if you give it try you'll see it

Also some favorite gobelins shorts

que dalle, duo, QUAND J'AI REMPLACÉ CAMILLE 

gobelins animations are so good at capturing dynamic and tension in such a short amount of time

43. A film that scarred you.

so far there are two films that i really regret watching. its the world of kanako and i saw the devil. i really regret watching them. i wouldnt recommend any of these, and id say you should check for TWs if you want to check them out. imdb parents guide is where i would check for possible CWs

separate ask in case you dont want it on your blog, but no pressure to answer the last ask. the situation honestly fucking sucks and i totally understand if you wanna separate yourself from the fic for a while <3 and if you still have the itch to write, a pre hollywood roxy fic /one shot could be fun if youre up for it. take care <3

oh my friend this is such a kind message thank you so much. i've got no issue answering questions about this whole thing; i'm trying to be as transparent as possible while everything goes down.

what needs to happen now is i just need a bit of time to do what i can to learn and understand more about the situation. i kind of hinted that i don't talk about things like this much on my fandom blogs because i see it ten fold on my personal socials and i'm doing what i can from there. james diamond is not james maslow, and the character i'm writing is pretty distinct from the canon james diamond anyway. i see him more as mine than than the show's and that's what i've been holding onto these past few days. i just need a bit of time to sort that out more! it might be a second before you see anything major for me just because i'm worried about my own online perception and what others may think if i continue with a story about "him" at a time like this.

which woo-hoo. making something that has absolutely nothing to do with me all about me. so i need some time to sort that out too :/ there are literally so many bigger things going on rn than my stupid story lol :/

and yes! ah!! the pre-hollywood one shot!!! it's been living in my head for ages, i just haven't had the time to get it all out. it's super cute, non-canon to my story of course, but very fun nonetheless. if you like

the campiness of a silly stupid big time rush plot line (i.e. the Christmas episode)

hockey games (they made them hockey players and NEVER TALK ABOUT HOCKEY. I'M MILKING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS)

roxy's old car (bonus points if you remember its name)

new beginnings (aww!)

you'll love it once i get it out!

...i also... because i'm mad at james... had a "what if one of the other boys got to roxy first" day dream... complete with a few situations in my story in which kendall, carlos, or logan could've moved on her first. maybe i'll even include jo and camille for the hell of it. and that has been keeping me going. of course, in the real story they just don't see her like that and she doesn't see them that way either... but there are some times i have thought up that are pretty cute and romantic in which the scene could have gone very differently. so if i'm still mad in a few days I'll probably write those too and put them out into the world.

any guesses as to when????? mwahahah
