9 books that are my favourites

tagged by @arenee1999 a few days ago, thank you <3 as i was writing this list in my head last night, i thought - this could be read as a list of my favourite fandoms and television/film adaptations, but hey ho. i did a degree in english lit or something.

harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban by JKR - no book has been so important to my life and i also just think it's a really fun mystery and i still like it, so - it's here, it's staying.

carry on by rainbow rowell - but of course. this one was quite important too.

pride and prejudice by jane austen - i don't think this has ever made a fav book list before, i think because i thought it was too basic, but damnit - this book is great, it influences the way i write enemies to lovers, i love the 1995 adaptation and all of austen's novels are bangers except mansfield park, which i keep trying to like but it sucks.

the once and future king by TH white - all my life i loved the movie 'camelot' and it's depiction of arthur. i only learned as an adult that it was TH white's gentle, earnest, thwarted arthur that they'd used <3 he's perfect. 'ill-made knight' is the best of the series, IMO

lieutenant hornblower by cs forester - i haven't read the books in ages, so maybe it's time for a re-read. the ioan grufford adaptation is great, i wish they'd do the later/earlier books too! BUT this early (in hornblower's life) book is my fav - the only one told from bush's POV as he struggles with how he loves hornblower but worries the guy wants to do a mutiny (which he totally does)

the folk of the air by holly black - a new entrant even though i've loved it for years, but i've decided i don't just think it's really good, it's so good that it's one of my favs. maybe the best of the trilogy is the middle book, 'wicked king' where jude is in power with limited support and they fall in love (or do they???). how the king of elfham learned to hate stories is also brilliant.

'the emperor mage' by tamora pierce. i've been waiting my whole life for the numair book and it was terrible, but her first three trilogies are my absolute crack, and this is the best book of those series IMO. the bit where numair tries to hit the emperor for implying he loves his student daine (which he does) while she's listening but disguised as a bird - and then he fakes his own death, and daine goes crazy... that bit has stayed with me for decades, i love it so much.

'night watch' by terry pratchett. i still feel late to properly loving pterry, but i've always liked this one and now i love it - vimes is my guy, i love the time travel, that he trains himself, that he resists both passively and when required actively. v good. my next fav is probably ... 'monstrous regiment', which i think is a bit more of a weird choice (unlike this one which is mega popular and also about all the things i like), but it just does everything right! oh, 'and 'going postal'.

'the princess bride' by s morgenstern william goldman. i haven't read this for ages either so maybe it shouldn't make the list, but i expect it's still pretty great. a mindfuck for a young child who has only seen the film and thinks all of the frame narrative must therefore be real... also, the film is like one of the best films ever and i have seen that super recently. if you haven't seen the home movie, do yourself a favour and watch it because it's a great way to enjoy the movie a-new.

no idea where this meme has been already. so just saying hello to some folks and if you'd like to do this meme and haven't done it already, please do! @giishu @orange-peony @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @carryonvisinata @alleycat0306 @fight-surrender @cows4247 @messofthejess @mysterioussheep

The recent casting of the Fantastic Four has no impact on Emoverse (unless we eventually do a multiverse crossover @arwen-elvenstar 🤔🤔🤔). In Emoverse, the casting is the same as the 2005/2007 films.

Ioan Grufford as Reed

Jessica Alba as Sue

Chris Evans as Johnny

Michael Chiklis as Ben

@sincerethoughtsblog

With the way the Four kept reuniting well before they became Fantastic, I firmly believe Johnny's had a long-time bond with Ben and Reed. Ever since the older males came to stay at that not so random boarding house, Johnny took a special interest in Ben. Likely due to him being an interesting big strong jock type still loaded with a lot of wisdom. Ben, in turn, easily sees straight through Johnny and calls out his mischief for what it is. While Reed always indulged Johnny and showed him fascinating things, Ben knows when the boy needs a firm hand.

Regardless, Ben maintains a soft spot for the kid. He even later becomes his commanding officer at NASA. Considering how young Johnny is in the original film, he had to be a surprisingly gifted teen during this time. His reaction to Sue and Reed's break-up must have been the reason behind his crashing out of the program.

Ben is initially annoyed to have to deal with Johnny again, but his low key affection for him remains apparent. He managed not to completely mangle Johnny through the Matchstick's sass and pranks.

This was deserved:

Eventually, so was this:

But it always comes back to this:

Get To Know Me

I was tagged by @ezras-channel-rat thank you friend !! <3

1. Star sign and/or Hogwarts House:

aries , but i was born on the twenty-first of march thus the last day for aries star sign , so it doesn't match wholly since i have some taurus traits as well… not that i truly put much faith in star signs. & whilst i haven't ever seen nor read harry potter , i've taken quizzes & most often its ravenclaw i get , even though everyone i've met says that i more so match a hufflepuff ??

2. Put your Spotify/music app on shuffle. What are the first 4 songs that come up?

1.) computers down by david arnold ( good omens soundtrack )

2.) writing’s on the wall by sam smith

3.) the horror and the wild by the amazing devil

4.) work that way by the east pointers

3. Who is your celebrity crush?

i don't have crushes per se , but there's so many that i would love to meet ( but most likely never will because i get too nervous meeting new people & i know i would embarrass myself too much to ever recover from ahdkflf so i stay away from any opportunities to ) such as david tennant , michael sheen , sebastian stan , pearl mackie , jodie whitaker , paul mcgann , olivia coleman , ben whishaw , patrick stewart , billie piper , rami malek , shane taylor , joey batey , tom hiddleston , matt smith , daniel craig , karl urban , howard charles , keira knightly , lee pace , santiago cabrera , ian mckellen , luke pasqualino , james mcavoy , arthur darvill , wentworth miller , tom burke , ioan grufford , james d’arcy , alex kingston , kenneth branagh , & etc. so many more.

4. What’s a sound you love?

i love the absence of sound in the early morning that's punctuated by the soft russel of the wind through tree branches & later by bird song once the pale glow of the rising sun begins to lighten the sky. too i have a heartened fondness for kittens meowing , their rumbling purrs and quiet, rolling mrrs. the sound of rain , whether by mere drizzle or fierce storm , accompanied by wind and thunder. stories or poetry being read by a clear yet emotive voice , captivating my attention as much as they've captured the voices of the characters they read for.

5. Do you believe in ghosts?

no , i don't believe ghost exist. i believe the things that haunt us are an entirely different entity.

6. How about aliens?

yes. there's too much out there for me to believe we are the only living things ever to develop & evolve / be created.

7. Favourite place to travel?

spain , there's still so much more i long to see & i loved every minute of my times there. so beautiful & i love the atmosphere there.

too i love anywhere there are woods though , so i could be happy just going for a walk in the forest xD

8. Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong?

no , because i don't remain angry or upset over any wrong against me. i just don't for some reason , whether there's an apology or not.

9. Tag 7 people who should do this:

( no pressure to do this if you don't want to ; it's only if you do want to ) @snidgethex , @flosimo , @pain-in-the-asguardian , @bisamwilson , @lindir , @theancientvaleofsoulmaking , & @inspirationmerls

We loved…

…ITV’s hard hitting drama ‘Liar’. 

We here at The Mill are a little biased but we absolutely loved the Make-up Hair & Prosthetics work of Makeup Designer Jojo Williams and her team on ITV’s drama Liar.

We especially loved the final shot (seen above) of Andrew Earlham (Ioan Grufford) dead as a dodo out in the mud, marvellously mottled with a deathly pallor and gruesome prosthetic slit throat. 

Watch on ITV Player for some more marvellous make-ups.

Schoolgirl crush when Reed and Ben came to stay at her aunt's boarding house. Yes, Sue was a teenager and Reed a grad student but it's Reed. Nothing but polite conversation until after Sue came of age.

Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of madness review and spoilers.

What a film that was with the whole very gruesome deaths that Wanda did to get to her children, which every loving mother would do after losing her children but can never get them back.

Also Anson Mount Captain Pike back from Inhumans.

Only disappointed was that Ioan Grufford wasn’t used as Mr Fantastic, but well John was ok.

Also saw Oswald the Lucky Rabbit on the TV screen

Ioan Grufford GIF Hunt

Recently got into this wonderful man! He is best knwon for his role as Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four and Henry Morgan in the abc series Forever. I think he'd make a great face claim for anyone looking for an older, more mature one! Plus, he's got a lovely accent. GIFs range in size and some contain text! 

GIF Count: 115+ 

I do not own any of these gifs. All rights to their creators. Sorry for repeats~!

Rewatching Fantastic Four and I completely forgot that Ioan Grufford is American in this movie, because I just heard him speak and had to stop myself from crying.

Omg I have never missed a sexy british accent more in my entire life.
