Golden Globes after-party is tonight.
Since you announced your relationship to the world, this will be your second public appearance together. Drew was dressed in an all-black suit to compliment her basic black dress with a bit of shine to draw attention. You like to match your outfits here and there.
This was also an excellent opportunity for Drew to meet new people in the film industry as well as some of his favorite actors and actresses. When he met some of his favorite people, it warmed your heart to see him so happy and giggly.
As usual, there was a large crowd at the after party. You were able to communicate with other actors and actresses. Your father is a well-known actor, and seeing some of his former co-stars is always pleasant.
In the middle of a conversation with Margot Robbie talking about her recent film, Barbie, you heard a familiar voice call out your name.
Margot excused herself, saying, "I'll see you later." She tells you, "Love you, sweet girl," before pulling away from the hug.
She’s amazing.
"Oh, hello, Y/N. It's been a while; how are you?" Your ex-boyfriend, Adam, came into view, astonished to find you there, but smiled at the end.
“Yes, it has been a while and I’ve been great, you?” You reply with a normal tone. “This is my boyfriend Drew, he’s also in the film industry” wrapping your arm around his, looking up at him with a soft gaze.
No matter how you ended things with Adam, you still had love for him at the end of the day.
You can feel the stress increasing in Drew’s body. He only becomes like this when he detects a threat and he wants to protect you at all cost. You’ve stated to him in the very beginning of your relationship you were in a two year relationship with Adam, also in the film industry. You ended on good terms and moved on from each other.
You have no feelings for Adam.
The only thing on your mind was why your partner was acting like this. A million thoughts race through your mind as you try to figure out why.
You can understand why he is suddenly acting this way. You would have the same reaction if you met Drew's ex for the first time. He knows you just have eyes for him.
"Nice to meet you, Drew," he adds confidently, extending his hand.
"Adam," he said, firmly shaking his hand. "You play Rafe Cameron on the Outer Banks, correct? "My cousin loves you," he says with a chuckle.
Drew was taken back by the chuckle from Adams mouth, “Yeah I play him in the show and I appreciate it, you can tell them that I said thank you” his response was calm.
The two begin conversing, getting to know one other. You continue to stand beside the two grown men, even joining in on the conversation. Drew's questions or comments drew your attention.
Adam nods, turning his body towards you, “Congrats on your movie by the way, you did amazing,” talking about your newest movie you starred in with Sydnee Sweeny.
“Thank you Adam, filming that movie was a hassle but a lot of fun all together” you kept your arms around Drew’s arm the whole time.
Eventually, you realized it was time to leave Adam and finish your night with Drew. The night has just begun, and there is food calling your name.
"It was nice to see you, but it appears that we should get going; I hope you have a good rest of your night, Adam," Drew said, indicating between Drew and you. 
"Of course, yes, enjoy the rest of your night" Adam claps his hands together before shaking Drew's hand and hugging you.
By the end of the night, Drew and you are sitting down at the table with a few of your friends while music plays from the band on stage.
Drew and you were facing each other, your hand fiddling with his gold chain while he questioned you about Adam.
"Baby, you understand how much I love you and value our relationship. I'm sorry if I was acting like a dosh," Drew rambles on, but you cut him off by kissing him to silence him.
"You weren't acting like a dosh; you were professional the entire time, and I understand why you were the way you were," you said, placing your palm on top of his and softly pressing your thumb on his hand.
"I actually love you a lot more," he says, smiling.

Sydney Sweeny's Career Changing Photoshoot
Tumblr media
Sydney Sweeny is no stranger to the camera and today was no different. She couldn’t remember what publication she was posing for but she didn’t particularly care. Photo shoots were so commonplace in her daily life that she would feel odd if someone didn’t take at least one photo of her in a day. I mean, how could they resist not to? Her body was nothing short of sexy. Long blonde hair, a petite frame, and a large rack that fell out of every top she wore. Yes, Ms. Sweeny quite enjoyed the fuss that her body brought. As the photographer called for the shoot to start and the assistances quickly darted out of frame to watch from the sidelines, Ms. Sweeny began to ready herself, quickly glancing at the mirror aside the camera to make sure she looked perfect before staring directly at the camera, ready to be a part of another perfect photoshoot. Little did she know that this particular photoshoot was going to be quite life changing…
*FLASH*
Tumblr media
As the bright flash of the camera filled Ms. Sweeny’s eyes, a strange, heavy sensation washed over her. As her eyes recovered from the bright light and the room around came back into focus, she nearly screamed from what she saw in the mirror. Her petite frame was gone, now replaced with rolls upon rolls of cellulite ridden fat. Her black leather dress had been changed out for a slightly too small set of baby blue lingerie. A Conservative and expensive face of make-up had been swapped for sparkly, gaudy eyeshadow and cheap lipstick. As Ms. Sweeny began to stupidly stutter questions about her situation, multiple curvy adult film stars wearing similar lingerie sets to hers began to surround her with slightly amused looks on their faces. As the photographer shouted out some perverted directions and the girls began to find their places, one quickly explained that the photoshoot was for celebrating Ms. Sweeny’s famous weight that she had become known for in the BBW porn scene, reaching eight hundred pounds just a few days ago. Ms. Sweeny felt as if she had been punched in the gut. Her Hollywood fame and beauty had seemingly been taken away in an instant and a career in niche, embarrassing fat fetish porn took its place. Mouth agape with shock, her thickened hands began to absentmindedly feel her newly fattened body. She noticed that her boobs were even larger than they previously were, but they no longer sat plump and perky, now sagging underneath their own weight. She grabbed her large gut in disgust and attempted to pick it up to no avail. It hung so low that most of her bumpy thick thighs were covered by it. A small tattoo adorned her belly, reading “Sydney Feedee.” Her stage name no doubt. Even though her mobility was reduced by her pillowy arms and fattened face, she could see just how large her ass was. Uneven and sticking out nearly four feet, it would be difficult to find any pair of pants that could fit those heavy cheeks. It was a miracle that the lingerie bottoms were still in one piece, albeit stretched so thin that any sudden movement would probably snap them in an instant. As her co-stars began touching and commenting on Ms. Sweeny’s body despite her protests and her thick cankles ached in pain from standing too long, the weight of her new life began to truly set in. Forever gone was her mainstream fame and approval, now nothing more than jerk off material to a small niche fetish community. The porn star Sydney Feedee had to live with the fact that only she knew of her old life; her real life. Her depressing thoughts were broken by the sudden sound of a wolf whistle. One of the porn stars had found a rubber strap-on and was slowly approaching her. Ms. Sweeny could do nothing but watch in horror as her fate as a fuck pig was to be soon upon her. Well, she had to become used to her new lifestyle sooner or later…

Lisa Frankenstein Headcanons
Lisa says she doesn’t play with dolls anymore, but would soo keep any sort of plush the creature would buy for her
The creature brushes and braids lisa’s hair every night before bed
It’s still debatable if the creature sleeps or not, but there have been times where lisa tried to ease him to sleep; rubbing his back or running her fingers through his hair. Basically any soothing touches to try to get the creature sleepy just to see if it would work. Usually though, lisa would be the first to fall asleep while the creature is still wide awake. He appreciates her efforts though.
When the creature is fully alive again and is able to speak again, he definitely tells stories of his past and the stuff that went down in the 1800s. 
Lisa def throws her own mini concerts anytime she’s alone, especially around the creature. Oh, and if chappell roan was around back then, lisa would be such a huge fan, like c’mon guys. That girl would be singing her heart out.
Also lisa is very much blue pilled. She very much stands for women’s rights, and 110% supports her trans zombie bf
“You don’t need one of those to be a man” like, hello???
The two would’ve loved strange and spooky movies likes beetlejuice, sweeny todd, edward scissor hands
Ironically though, for being a murderer, the creature prefers sappy romantic films. He probably likes historical documentary films too to get caught up on everything he missed
The two like to create things for each other. Like, lisa would probably draw the creature and write cute poems for him. The creature would write lisa sweet and sappy poems for her as well, but he would also write songs dedicated to her and play them on the piano for her. 
i'll probably add more soon if i think of anymore lulz

How does their conversation go 👁️__👁️. Would she be completely closed off? Would she be understanding but tell him off for how he treated her?
It might be hard because we (aka me) don't really know too much about this girl since it was all from Peter's POV so her character and her motives aren't as fully fleshed out as I would like but I will give it my best go!
Tumblr media
He walked into the coffee shop early. He hadn't slept the night before. He'd spent his night getting stoned then tossing and turning until he finally gave up and got ready. For the first time in a few days, he actually showered, though, he had no clean clothes to change into afterwards which felt like it defeated the purpose.
He ordered them each their own coffee. Some how, through the fog in his mind, he still remembered her favorite drink.
Peter took a seat outside under the shaded umbrella of a table set in the back. He tapped his fingers anxiously against the cool metal. What was he supposed to say when he saw her? Did he jump straight into his rehearsed speech or let things unravel slowly? Did he offer to hug her as a greeting when she arrived?
No, no. That was too much.
Did he stand up? That seemed like the gentlemanly thing to do. Did he try to pull out her chair for her for was that a step too far?
Shit. She was here.
His heart rate spiked and his breath caught in his throat.
Peter jumped to his feet. It just felt like the natural thing to do. He felt like he needed to stand in her presence.
"Hi!" Too enthusiastic. Tone it down. "...Hi. Hey."
She gave him a stiff smile, eying the second drink at the table, "For me?"
He nodded, "Of course."
Peter slid the drink across the table, afraid to pick it up and hand it to her in case their fingers touched. He didn't want to cross any boundaries with her. He half expected for it to be thrown back in his face but, instead, she took it and sat down opposite him. He quickly scrambled into his chair after her.
Awkward silence settled around them.
He watched her sip her drink and desperately wished he had a cigarette to busy himself with. He didn't actually want the coffee sitting in front him. It was just something for him to fidget with.
"Your-"
"I'm-"
They both tried to break the silence at the same time.
Peter gave a half hearted laugh and shifted uncomfortably in his chair, "You go first."
"You're hair looks like shit," she spoke.
He let her comment sink in before a smile grew across his lips.
She wasn't wrong.
At least it was washed.
"Yeah, well, I said some really shitty things to my favorite hair dresser and treated her like shit so she rightfully left me to rot in my own filth."
She narrowed her eyes at him, "You never thought to find another hair dresser to deal with your hair problem?"
Peter shook his head, his voice softened, "There would never be anyone as good as her."
Now it was her turn to crack a smile.
She leaned back in her chair and he felt a sense of ease wash over him.
"You're an asshole, you know," she quipped.
Peter gave a sad grin and nodded, "I know. Trust me. I know."
She studied him carefully, watching his every micro expression, and finally licked her lips, coming up with a silent conclusion to her thoughts, "Come on." She stood up and started to walk away, turning over her shoulder to shout. "Hurry up! Follow me, dickhead."
He quickly did as he was told and hurried after her, abandoning his coffee on the table, "Where are we going? Are you bringing me somewhere to kill me? Because I'd let you if that's what you want."
He fell in step beside her, keeping her in his peripheral. She looked determined but calm.
"I'm going to cut that horrid mop on top of your head. I'll decide if I want to Sweeny Todd you when I'm through. You'll have to wait and see."
Peter looked down at his feet with a smile.
He was forgiven. Sort of. Almost. True forgiveness takes time but this was a start. She understood him better than anyone. She could read him with just a look. He had no doubt that she got everything she needed from him the moment she sat down and looked him over. She knew he was sorry. She knew he felt bad. She knew he regretted everything. She knew he was broken and hurting and grieving and lost.
She didn't need words to know the real him.
He wore his sorrow on his sleeve.
Tumblr media
I wasn't really sure where I was going to take this when I started so I just let the vibes take over. I think this is more realistic between friends than some big speeches or giant confessions of apologies tbh. When I think back to fights I've had with my friends in past, we always "make up" by just being like "eh forget it i love you anyway even if youre a dick wanna come over and eat pizza with me??" and let things go. Esp with this particular story, it's not like he did anything too crazy besides take her for granted and publicly yell at her. I've screamed at a friend in middle of my high school parking lot before and we were besties again like the next week. I think that's just how real friendships go.
"You're an asshole." "I know." "Great, let's go hang out."
Sometimes it can just be that simple! Insult each other, laugh about it, and then move on. If you're close enough with someone, you should be able to read them without words and know exactly what they're thinking just from a look. If someone is sorry, they show it through body language and how they act. Sometimes words are just extra fluff.

Confession time! Is Immaculate worth the watch?...
As always my friends spoilers under the cut ✝️
Tumblr media
I'm not going to wait until the end to tell you I loved this movie. It's beautiful and brutal and I loved it.
Sydney Sweeny did phenomenal. As far as I am aware this was her first horror role and she knocked it out of the ball park. Sister Cecilia has definitely made it onto my list of final girls I adore and if I am being perfectly honest, I don't think anyone could have portrayed this character better. Sydney's mannerisms and the way she speaks with apprehension are so perfect for our almost fish out of water character.
If you hate religious horror, pregnancy horror, or violence, infanticide and gore I really wouldn't watch this. I love religious imagery but I don't usually keep in mind if something is religiously unseemly or blasphemous because personally I hold no bearing for the Christian faith any more.
Jumping into the plot
Sister Cecilia comes to God or let's say God came to her as a child when she fell into an iced over lake and died for several minutes before being brought back. This experience made her feel that she wanted to devote her life to God.
Something I deeply enjoyed and I'm unsure if this is common among portrayals of nuns or Catholicism. I feel like I've heard a lot or seen a lot of this naivety of not knowing what sort of thing you're getting into. While sister Cecilia genuinely doesn't know the horrors she faces ahead, when constantly questioned about her choice to become a nun, Cecilia stands firm in her stance that this is what she wants. The only reluctance is moving from Detroit to Italy as the church she attended back home closed. She is a fish out of water as I said before in a country where she doesn't speak the language around people she does not know.
We get hints that something is off the first thing being the opening sequence where we can assume the previous mother-mary-to-be gets her leg snapped in two and buried alive after trying to escape the convent. Sister Isabelle is cold and harsh to Cecilia while everyone else including mother Superior is warm to her. Mother Superior even complimenting her beauty profusely upon seeing her. Father Tedeschi, who contacted Cecilia and personally invited her to join them, confides in her about his faith and why he chose to become a priest.
I feel as if in a way we are drawn in with her. The convent is a sort of hospice for older nuns and so when Cecilia after taking her vows sees one lying on the ground she goes to help. I think it's around here when she passes out that they some how impregnate her?? I will say I was not very clear on their method of this. The priest later explains that on the nails used during crucifixion they found flesh and bone and enough DNA but how exactly the process worked I don't think they ever explained and honestly I don't think they needed to.
When Cecilia is found to be pregnant it was interesting to me that we never get her opinion of it. She seems fine with it generally but her face during the initial ultrasound seems distressed....and well who wouldn't be distressed. We get a scene where they interrogate her about having intercourse and breaking her vows which is strange to me when later it's revealed they knew. Maybe it was a front to keep up with her and a red herring for the audience but it was a little odd to me that they knew everything about her and hand picked her only to grill her so harshly about it.
Theres two scenes that imply this as a pattern before it is revealed and one of them is Isabelle trying to drown Cecilia. The entire time she screams and raves about how it should have been her...for me it sort of clicked into place later that she was so mean to Cecilia because she knew that they had chosen her. From their initial meeting when Isabelle protests mother superiors orders to tour Cecilia around she is put in her place and told to do as she says and it feels sad in a way to me? Maybe I could make some commentary about infertility and longing for something you can't obtain but I don't have a horse in that race and don't feel well versed enough to speak on it. Only that it leaves me with a softened heart for Isabelle's circumstance and slightly more angry with Cecilia's as here was a woman who was willing and open...and instead you choose to take away this young woman's choice in the matter.
The second scene Cecilia is caring for one of the older nuns and remarks about the same cross scars that she later receives being on an older woman. It's kind of vile to imagine how long they must have been doing this and how long they've gotten away with it at the expense of all of these women...
This movie visually was stunning and the reveal and third trimester is a wild ride. Our girl Cecilia is smart and capable and has all the makings of a final girl. I think really it's only chance that her hospital plans fall through when she uses the blood of a chicken to fake a miscarriage to get access to a hospital outside the church. When crying and...smelling?? The bloody sheets mother Superior just so happens to look under the bed to find the bundled up chicken corpse. Even when the call is made to stop the car Cecilia makes a fucking run for it barefoot through the fields.
Even through everything Cecilia remains rebellious. Her spirit doesn't seem to break only bend on occasion. The chase through the catacombs was nerve wracking and had me clenching my jaw and gripping the arm rest the whole ride. Then we get the ending and boy is it a fucking ending.
Cecilia kills father Tedeschi and climbs out of a hole in the catacombs wall. She, after all of that running while being in labor, squats down and squeezes out this baby in this gutteral scene where we just get a close up of her face. In a way, and not to get too reachy or overly analytical, it makes me think of eve. How no one was...really there for her except adam to witness the birth of their children. How there was no medication to take. Nothing to do. Just sit and cry and scream and spit and push. Cecilia's child is never shown on screen. We can only assume it's a similar look to its siblings in the jars of that basement lab. It's breathing heard hindered off screen as it does nothing but breathe not even cry...and then Cecilia bites off the im umbilical cord and kills the infant Cain and Abel style.
Over all this is a really fantastic movie. The ending had me wanting more which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The visuals were stunning I loved the costumes especially the mother Mary scene where they unveil her and tears just roll down her cheeks. The acting was phenomenal and I think it's even worth a second or third watch from me. I couldn't appreciate the nail gore (makes my teeth hurt and makes me cringe) but overall I could appreciate the beauty of this movie. Happy Easter everyone!

The Sixth Sense (1999)
Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist, starts treating a young boy, Cole, who encounters dead people and convinces him to help them. In turn, Cole helps Malcolm reconcile with his estranged wife.
Tumblr media
Warning: Review may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.
JayBell: I guess you could say Bruce Willis' character is the main character of this movie, but honestly, the kid and his mother are what make the movie great. Is it my Bruce Willis Ubreakable/Glass trauma? Maybe.
But seriously, Haley Joel Osment is in the hall of fame of child stars for good reason. And Toni Collette kills it as concerned, overwhelmed single mother. Their scenes together stand out as the most emotional for me. I love the car scene where he finally decides to reveal the truth to his mother.
Part of the enjoyment of this movie is the big plot twist. Because I had seen The Sixth Sense before, a big part of my enjoyment was listening to Anzie's comments and trying not to give anything away.
The heart of this movie isn't about the supernatural at all. It's about learning to trust the people who love you, reaching out when you're struggling, and learning to grieve and let go.
Rating: 7/10 cats 🐈
Tumblr media
Anzie: Soo there’s really only two things to truly discuss about this movie. First, not only is Haley Joel Osment adorable, he’s the best crier I’ve ever seen next to Sydney Sweeny’s Euphoria Breakdown™️. Second. I know I knew. Somehow I forgot. But when I realized what was happening like halfway through I was shocked and I felt so dumb. I wasn’t mad either. It’s a really good plot twist and if I wasn’t so good at sleuthing 🙄 I would’ve screeched at the big reveal and promptly died on the floor. But the start had weird vibes - like I def thought the kid that shot him was a future scene and maybe the rest would be a flash back but NOooooooo. He’s a GhOsT. I really only got it when I started realizing he never had any scenes except with the kid plus when they accused the mom of abuse at the hospital - bc I figured the kids therapist would get involved. Overall I do like the spooky mystery vibes (don’t appreciate the ghost vomit or the one kid’s head).
^ side note I can’t watch Bruce Willis without having Unbreakable/Spilt/Glass Flashbacks but it is good to know M. Night Shyamalan didn’t do him soooo dirty.
^second side note I appreciate how everything comes together to show that even after a year of KNOWING your loved one is dead it’s still difficult to move on *coughcoughCastawaycough*
Rating: 6/10 Black Cats 🐈‍⬛

The Magnificant Seven in September 1914
Brave men and women from my new book
Tumblr media
Rare photo of the Americans who persuaded their countrymen to go to war for France 954 days before their country did.
Seven American volunteers photographed in September 1914 in Toulouse in France a month after they had joined the French Foreign Legion and a few weeks before they were sent to the front. It was an amazing lot that only a war can bring together. I think I have identified them: (standing) Georges Casmeze, a businessman who took the initiative to summon the American volunteers when France went to war; Charles Sweeny, a soldier-of-fortune and later friend of Hemingway; Jack Casey, a talented artist from San Francisco, who did some wonderful sketches of his comrades in the trenches; Bert Hall, a talkative adventurer of many trades; (sitting) James Stewart Carstairs, a rich artist and art collector who committed suicide; William Thaw, son of one of America’s richest families and finally James Bach, a mechanical engineer who in 1915 with Hall and Thaw joined the famous Escadrille Lafayette.
The seven men in the photo belonged to a group of 44 American volunteers, who joined the Foreign Legion in Paris in August 1914. After years of research, I know the personal history of each of these men, and in my new book “Fighting for The French Foreign Legion”, I try to tell how every one of them gave a valuable contribution to modern history, and strengthened relations between France and America.

In weniger als drei Wochen hat das Warten auf Godot ein Ende!
Ja, es ist soweit. Ich schreibe endlich Samstagabends kurz vor 11 die Saisonvorschau. Schon seit paar Wochen geplant, aber durch @nicht-ganz-allein-sunny zur AusfĂźhrung "gezwungen".
Wie beginne ich das denn? Am besten mit dem Ende der Warterei. Und das ist, wie mein aktueller Lieblingswitz zu erkennen gibt, Warten auf Godot in Bochum. Stand nie auf der Liste, bis ich gesehen habe, die Premiere musste mehrmals verschoben werden. Und das find ich abstrus genug mich rĂźber nach Bochum zu setzen und dort am 6.9. die Saison zu starten.
Und jetzt geht es so weiter wie es in letzter Saison Ăźberwiegend war. Schlag auf Schlag auf Zugfahrt auf Schlag. Mein Vorhaben ist es bei mir zu jeder Premiere in Dortmund zu sein. Komme was wolle. HĂśhere Gewalt* ausgeschlossen.
Freitag, der 13. Uhh. Spooky. Der Dämon in dir muss Heimat finden, findet das Studio in Dortmund. Und lädt mich auf Mensastühle zur Selbstoptimierung ein. Nachdem der Po sich von den Sitzen erholt hat geht es dann einen Tag später in den großen Polstersaal zur nächsten Vorstellung. Es wird sehr wahrscheinlich ein weiteres Meta Stück von Kieran Joel. Dantons Tod und Kants Beitrag. Beide Namen sind mir bekannt. Kant hatte ich mal in der Schule. I dont know what will happen. Dann ab ins Bett und früh morgens aufstehen. Das erste Tripel wird abgeschlossen und das zweite gestartet.
Überraschenderweise werde ich in Dresden wacher werden. Das Staatsschauspiel und Sunny rufen mich. Christian Friedel spielt McBee! Hier schreit er mich hoffentlich nicht direkt an. Ich bin sehr auf Jannik Hinsch als Banquo gespannt. Und die Ei Szene. Und wo ich sitze. Erste Reihe mit Notizbuch könnte weird werden. Wo sitzen wir nochmal? Ich wills gar nicht wissen. Danach fahr ich weiter nach Nürnberg in meinen jährlichen "Ich guck mir Deutschland an" Urlaub. Leider hat Nürnberg in dieser Woche wo ich da bin noch keine Theatersaison. Skandalös für mich. Erfreuend für den Geldbeutel.
Nach einer Fahrt zurück über die Elbe geht es morgens zurück durch durch die Republik und über meine Heimat hinaus. Nach Düsseldorf... Oh nööö. Nicht diese hässliche Fassade. Die schreit nach Architektur die Theoretisch gut aussieht... Aprospros anschreien. Christian Friedel bekommt seine zweite Chance mich von Hamlet zu überzeugen. Nach Ersatzbegleitung im Dezember und ohne Theatererfahrung sitzen wir nun schräg hinter diesen Anschreiplätzen. Wehe du zerquetscht mir wieder die Hand. Ich weiß wo dein Bett wohnt, Sunny. So dann aber nach Hause. Bisschen runterkommen und bei mir kurz Woyzeck reinschmeißen bevor ich schon wieder über die Elbe fahre.
Weil was CF kann, kann ich schon lange und guck dann in Dresden Dorian. Ich mag das Buch nicht und das Stßck soll speziell sein. Aber wenn das CF Tripel so gut liegt dann mach ich das auch. Dann gehts - es ist mittlerweile Oktober - nach einem freien Wochenende!! zum ersten Opernbesuch der Saison zu Sweeny Todd bei mir in Dortmund, bevor ich ne Woche später am 18.10 weiter nach Bochum zu Frankenstein fahre.
Bitte mach ne Regenerationspause Tryn. Eifer nicht von Hoch zu Hoch, um nicht in ein (Dopamin)Loch zu fallen. Bitte. Vergangenheits Tryn fleht dich an.
Kurz vor St. Martin geht es dann zum nächsten Dortmunder Doubleheader bei mir. Freitags Schwindel, Samstags Jeeps. Das kann ich mir btw noch in mindestens zwei weiteren Städten angucken. Nun.. Nach Premierenpause bis zum 2. Advent geht es dann zum Ring an einen Abend in der Oper Dortmund, mit GÜtz Alsmann, von Loriot. Ich nehm hier endlich mal meine Oma mit, weil die braucht auch mal Ablenkung und immer allein wird langweilig. Naja, passiert wenn Theaterfreunde im Osten wohnen. Kannich hier bitte auch Freunde haben???
Im Januar dann wieder viermal Theater. Wuppertal mĂśchte mir die Originalvorlage von Frozen Die SchneekĂśnigin zeigen, Dortmund die Premieren von Null Zucker und Antigone. Und Bochum spielt bisschen mit Fabian und den 20ern. Wie kann dieses 100 Jahre alte Buch immer noch SO RELEVANT SEIN????
Im Februar hab ich Geburtstag und außer die Ablehnung zum Eintritt in den Club 27 ist tatsächlich nichts geplant. Schrecklich.
März. Ende März. Endlich wieder Theater! Premieren WE in Dortmund! Freitags Alle Spielen, Samstags Vatermal. So der Plan. Weil ich will ja zu jeder Premiere da sein. Ihr errinnert euch an das * von weiter oben? STÜCKKOLLISION MIT WUPPERTAL. EINZIGES DATUM WAS REISETECHNISCH PASST. HELP. (Das die Woche danach LBM ist und ich womöglich wieder in Dresden im Theater sitze ist ein ganz anderes "Problem".)
Es kommt der Part im April der nur in sehr groben Zügen angedacht ist. Per DE Ticket ein paar Städte abklappern und alle 2-3 Tage abends ins lokale Theater. Ne Strecke hab ich im Kopf. Fragt sich bloß ob das auch Vorstellungsmäßig passt. Well..
Bevor mein Dortmunder Theater dann für zwei Jahre wegen Bauarbeiten woanders existieren muss, nur - Gott strafe mich! - Gott weiß wo, gibt es im Mai dann die Premiere von Ein Abriss! Was bisher geschehen sein wird. Und irgendwo im Opernhaus wird Carrie - Das Musical gespielt.
So! Das waren jetzt die geplanten StĂźcke. Das wird mit spontan Besuchen/Reisen mindestens das Doppelte. Ich sage mal so 45 Vorstellungsbesuche vor? Oh Gottottogott. Jetzt ist zwei sechstel Eins und ich stell den Post mal in die Warteschleife. Guten Morgen, Mittag, Abend. Warum lest ihr den Quatsch hier eigentlich?

what are some of the recipes witch angeal has made from his "family recipe" book? any fam favorites? any faves the boys have?
hello! I'm so sorry its taken me so long to answer, I've literally been agonising over Recipes trying to figure out what Goth Witch Angeal would bake 😆.
(I will say that insporation for much of this comes from Sweeny Todd, the curious creations of Christine McConnel and a handfull of Grims Fairytales.)
Okay, so Angeals Go to recipe is meat pie. The thing about this AU is I like towing the line between fantasy and realism with these Characterisations, so you never really know whether they are just Goth and Wiccan or actual storybook witches.
The meat pie started as a joke to scare the local church goers. in the early days of Gen and Angeals relationship, Angeal grudgingly went to church with Genesis in order to "present themselves properly" to the community. Genesis Grew up Catholic, and He is actually still quite religious in a rather hethenistic "Chriso-pagan" kind of way... The crusifix shaped scar at his Clavical that he's had for over 200- I mean... 2 years doesn't seem to deter him from standing on hallowed ground.
They'd been invited to a pot luck, and the woman that had extended it to them had done so incredibly passive agressivly. people like that grated on Angeal... so he'd turned to Mimsy (the recipe book) who immidiatly flipped to the page on meat pie.
To this day the people of the church don't know whether they ate human flesh or not...
The Fam as some more "normal" faves:
Angeals recipe for tri-chocolate brownies is Zacks favorite
Edger is a big fan of both his seed loaf and his mouse mix (its exactly what you think)
Genesis is fond of his Red velvet Cake. he does not use food dye to colour it red. do with that information what you will.
Sephiroth adores his Sea food Risotto, as well as literally anything with Chocolate in it. If anyone ever left Sephiroth in the woods, the only reason he wouldn't get eaten by the witch in the gingerbread house is because he too is a witch.
Cloud would eat Angeals Harvest special Pumpkin pie for every meal for the rest of his life if he could. allas Angeal will not let him.
food traditions include:
Angeals secret Ham recipe (no you may not know) at Yule. They don't eat turkey for many reasons. the main one being Zack complains it sucks allthe moisture out of his mouth. the second main one being Genesis prefers his meat extremely rare... for reasons.
During Imbolc they tend to eat deviled eggs until Zack hits food coma status. once he starts he can't stop.
During Litha they eat Honey cakes Which are some of Angeals personal favorites. usually this is with homemade mead or elderflower wine.
Mabon is all about soup. mostly pumpkin, sometimes carrot. Angela will absoloutly admit to getting the pumpkin soup recipe from a childrens book.
Samhain is all about spice and warmth, so Chillies, and Stews, and cornbreads, and soups and all kinds of things. There is also a lot of Pomigranits involved. Cloud seems to like sitting on the kitchen counter, feeding everyone who passes the seeds. Thats why They all refer to them as their personal persephony.
Beltane is again all about the Honey as well as fresh fruit and veg. Strawbery cream cake must be consumed. it is the law. And Angeal is 100% aware it is an aphrodesiac, thats why he bakes it. feeding Sephiroth strawberries is always fun.

Would you be interested in taking a pair of clippers with the #2 guard on them, and buzzing the hair on the top of my head a 1/4 of an inch long, and then take the guard off the clippers, and cutting the hair on the back and sides as close to the skin as the clippers will cut it, and standing in front of me doing that while I'm rubbing your chest and playing with your nipples? I would be enjoying every minute of both of them. You cutting my hair while I'm rubbing your chest and playing with your nipples.
i'm boutta go sweeny todd on your ass baby boy

Today I am remembering that time Mr. X came into the room while I was working to mention that he was watching this movie that he was really enjoying about a hockey player who had to stop playing hockey and was trying to learn how to be a figure skater and this girl who was already a figure skater was trying to teach him but they both really rubbed each other the wrong way because he was being really dismissive of the sport as not being as athletic as hockey and she was kind of snobbish in the reverse way and unimpressed by his hockey skills which don't directly translate into figure skating skills the way he thought they would and I stopped everything I was doing to stand up out of my chair and say "You mean The Cutting Edge? The 1992 film The Cutting Edge starring Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeny? You are watching The Cutting Edge (1992) and you like it?" And he had to back out of the room slowly because I have just caught him liking a Romance which happens to be one of the few Romances I really love and I was Very Excited.

I think musicals are so appealing because of the repeated melodies/phrases throughout the play.
Hamilton is a Musical that does this alot with melodies. One that stands out is Angelicas theme and his sons song. Another one is Sweeny todd(through this might be just the movie) has a melody for his madness
Phantom of the opera is another that repeated alot of musical phrases
omg thats so true!!! especially with the count of the songs too!! nonnie you’ve just led me to a deep dive into musical melodies so thank you for that!!
