What Makes You Beautiful

When We Were Young Masterlist Summary: The band are shooting their music video for WMYB and Louis gets jealous when Harry sings to YN.

Today the band were shooting the music video for their first single, 'What Makes You Beautiful', in Malibu. YN and the five boys sat in the orange camper van, talking to the camera that was filming the behind-the-scenes. YN sat beside Zayn, in front of Louis, as Harry began to explain that the band were on set to shoot their first music video, Louis begins to poke at YN's cheek from behind her. She turns around to face the older boy and sends him a playful glare causing Niall and Liam to share a knowing look at Louis' attempt to get YN's attention.

"I'm about to attempt to drive..this lovely vehicle" Louis explains to the camera as he stands looking at the van. The clip shows YN sitting in the front passenger seat next to Louis, with a nervous look painted on her face. At one point YN is pretending to sing to the camera and Louis grabs her chin with his hand and pretends to sing to her, making the pair laugh. The six of them are running around the beach, messing around, laughing and joking with eachother.

Louis' whole demeanour changes, when John the director suggests instead of Harry singing his part to the camera, he sings it to YN. The four other boys look at each other nervously, waiting for Louis's reaction, knowing he had a bit of a crush on the Brighton girl.

"But..I..I think the fans would prefer it..if Harry was singing into the camera..you know like he was singing to them" Louis tried to argue.

"Yeh I agree with Louis" Harry argued.

"No we've already decided" the director stated, before giving Harry and YN instructions to stand facing each other. Harry sent Louis an apologetic look, to which the Yorkshire boy gently smiled at him to let him know he didn't blame him.

"Okay..YN you're going to act a little shy..and Harry you're going to sing your part and lean closer to YN..to make it look a bit more intimate"

Baby you light up my world like nobody else The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell

Despite feeling his stomach drop at the scene in front of him as Harry brought his face closer to YN's as he sang, Louis couldn't help but stare and wish that it was him instead.

"That's a wrap for today...thank you everyone"

As the band sat in the black van, travelling back to their hotel from the set. Louis and YN were sat in the back of the van, whilst the four others were spread out in front of them.

Startling him from his stare out of the window, YN turned to him "Hey..you okay?"

"Yeh..m'fine" Louis mumbled.

"Sure..you seem upset" YN asked with a worried look on her face.

Louis smiled, that's one thing he loved about YN, she always knew when he wasn't himself "Yeh m'okay love"

He noticed YN seemed nervous, hesitation in her voice "Do..would...do you wanna have another film night tonight?"

Louis tried to hide his smile, so in true Louis style he teased her instead "Is this your way of trying to cuddle me again?"

"Uh..um..uh"

"I'm jokin' love...I'd love to have another film night.." Louis smiled at YN, before adding "..and I wouldn't mind a cuddle"

Shocking Louis, she lifted his hand and wrapped it around her frame before laying her head just below his shoulder. Louis didn't realise he was smiling to himself until he glanced up and caught Harry's gaze and a smirk on his face. As Harry teased his best mate by making a heart shape with his fingers, Louis stuck up his middle finger mouthing 'piss off', before he rested his head on top of YN's.

tony stark for your ask game? <3

peachy fren! thanks for the ask!

Favorite thing about them All of him. Every last bit. I left this question for last because I had no idea what to say. He's my favorite character of anything ever. Picking just one favorite is impossible.

Least favorite thing about them Hmmmmm, maybe how smart he is? But mostly just because it's so difficult to write. Oh, I know! The fact that Marvel, in an effort to keep up with the economy, has made him a billionaire because I'm so tired of seeing the coldest takes on how being a fictional billionaire makes him the literal devil.

Favorite line MCU: "I am Iron Man" (the first time) I'll admit I wasn't sold on the idea of Iron Man when I originally saw it. I grew up on the Tim Burton Batman films and only watched the X-Men movies for the scenes with Rogue in them (baby Alle had a crush), so I thought I knew what superheroes were and I wasn't overly impressed with them. And then Tony stood there and took accountability for his actions and at the very young age of 12, I sat up and took notice. Comics: "Good morning, beloved" because he's just so blasé about the whole thing. Why are you calling him beloved, Tony, hmm? Answer me, Marvel. I demand answers.

brOTP Rhodey & Tony. Hands down. Best brOTP in the entire world. My favorite chaos duo. Super smart when they're apart, the biggest idiots in the entire world when they're together.

OTP I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but Stony. *gestures vaguely at my ao3* Obviously

nOTP Any of the pairings that came out of CACW. Are there good ones out there? Yeah, absolutely. Are they overshadowed by the absurd amounts of bashing fics that were written just to dump on Steve whether or not he'd been romantically involved with Tony in that verse? Yeah, and I don't feel like scrolling through all of them just to locate the gems.

Random headcanon Tony learned how to play the piano from his mom. She had a grand that was kept at the mansion that moved with him to Malibu and then to the tower (he's beyond thankful at his past self for insisting on having it moved instead of leaving it in the Malibu house to sink into the ocean when it was destroyed).

Unpopular opinion My unpopular opinion about Tony for the greater MCU fandom (and non-fans) is that he's a good character who doesn't deserve all the hate he gets. For actual Tony fans? My unpopular opinion is that he has the same mentor/mentee relationship with Peter that he has with Harley and the only reason Peter's gets so much more emphasis in the fandom is because Peter had his own movie with Tony in it.

Watched the Barbie film. Then I watched that Lisa vs Malibu Stacy, as some online had said that it does the same job but better.

At their heart, these are two very different stories. Lisa vs Malibu Stacy is a deliberate and conscious story of feminism. Barbie is not.

Barbie is a story about self and reflection through media. Namely, the way that little girls see themselves and see others around them, such as boys or their mothers, eventually becoming mothers and how they see their daughters.

Not 'Barbie is a girl and I am a girl so I am Barbie', but rather Barbie as a space in which multiple conflicting ideas can coexist and be worked through and processed in a way they might never be outside of Barbie.

It's crucial that at the center of the film is a mother and daughter who cannot communicate with each other and only begin to communicate with each other once they start playing with dolls together. The doll is not simply the image of the self mirrored back to you, the doll is the self changed and distorted and amplified such that you yourself can change.

Lisa vs Malibu Stacy has nothing on this. We have some interesting mother daughter interactions but it's mostly focusing on Lisa's alienation. They never reconcile their difference and Lisa's feminism is never understood by her friends or family.

The one point though where these two works do come together, and where Lisa vs Malibu Stacy is the clear and undeniable winner, I think it has to be the use of mattel.

Both of them have the legacy of Barbie taking on new meaning in the lives of girls and so spinning out of the corporate control. Both of them have the corporate executives becoming aware of this and conspiring to crush the spirit of girls and sieze control of dolls and maintain their profit margins. Both of them are shown to be ineffectual for the sake of comedy, but then you have that crucial difference.

Barbie's mattel ultimately don't actually care about the corporation or the conspiracy. There's literally a line where the CEO says he 'didn't get into this business for the bottom line,' he 'did it for the little girls'. In the climax of the film, the corporate characters aren't even written to be consistent from this defanged narrow perspective. They just let Barbie do whatever she wants.

Whereas Malibu Stacy's mattel have a bit of floundering at first for the sake of comedy, but ultimately they are the bad guys of the story and can't just be handwaved away. Especially crucial that they win out in the end with a still ineffectual and daft strategy, but a strategy that works nonetheless precisely because of its use of consumerism. That the hype machine and advertising of any widely known brand or franchise is always going to stamp out any valid or good criticism in the end.

Truthfully I cried at both of these works. I cried a lot. But Lisa vs Malibu Stacy wins out in the end for me. Partly because of a more coherent feminist message but also partly just my own preferences.

Barbie ends on the big happy ending. Everyone gets what they want. And bizarrely mattel want Barbie to have what Barbie wants.

Lisa vs Malibu Stacy has the more human and flawed ending, which I am always going to prefer to a happy ending. Just my preference! That mattel are able to crush her feminist criticism of Malibu Stacy. But at the end of the episode we see that one solitary little girl buying the alternative doll. And Lisa saying maybe it was all worth it if we got through to her.

You know, Barbie almost has that! There's one bit where Barbie has a meltdown and the mother character, hold on, what are their names? I think Sasha is the daughter. Let me look this up.

Okay. Gloria and Sasha. Right, so Barbie is having a meltdown, and Gloria has decided to give up on her and just head back to the real world and let Barbieland be as it may. But her daughter Sasha then tells her no. You have to fight for girls. You have to at least try.

But then we get the happy ending, don't we? She tries to fight for girls, and it works! And everyone gets what they want. Contrast with Lisa vs Malibu Stacy where Lisa tries to fight for girls and is defeated. But there's those little victories along the way. That it's still worthwhile even if it doesn't work out. That girls and women are still worth fighting for even if you don't win.

I don't know. I always prefer those endings! I don't want to hear about people who got everything. That annoys me. LOL I want to hear about people who were left behind, people who didn't make it, but still kept on living anyway. That's what matters to me.

Quick comments on other obvious comparisons. Bart and Ken. Both can be said to represent insecure boys who cannot stand girls having just one little thing for themselves. Ken eventually works through his insecurities and overcomes adversity. Bart shrinks and transforms into a corncob.

I think the Bart storyline is a suitable blunt dismissal of a misogynistic thinking that a story about feminism/women and girls shouldn't need to address anyway.

But I also feel that the Ken storyline in Barbie works really well with the core concept of dolls as reflection of the self. Ken having the crisis of identity needs to be there as this is the girl working through her understanding of boys around her, perhaps even working through her own male self. I don't think the Ken storyline was as good as it could have been, but narratively I think it is important and that's what really matters here.

And then there's Ruth Handler and Stacy Lovell. I much much prefer Lisa vs Malibu Stacy actually involving Stacy Lovell in the feminist discourses and labours. Ruth Handler being a deus ex machina is just daft I feel. Having her be an actual woman who lives with misogyny in her life but still cares about inspiring little girls is I think much more interesting than having her be an immortal ghost haunting a corporation who in real life were horribly abusive towards her.

The comment about 'her story would have to be its own film', when the Simpsons just casually mixed that story in to a 20 minute tv episode.

But The Simpsons did have me researching Ruth Handler to find out if she was actually a treasonous communist if that was just a wild exaggeration.

As far as I can tell, Ruth Handler was not a communist, or at least not specifically collaborating with the Viet Cong. As far as I can tell, she was either innocent of tax evasion, or embroiled in tax evasion with others at mattel, and they turned her in to both protect themselves and also keep her feminist politics out of the company.

Again, the Barbie film goes some way to discussing that tension of feminist politics inside the company of mattel and the ways that capitalism will work to control and repress and assimilate that. But mostly it's subtext or just handwaved away with comedy. Whereas in The Simpsons it is very much front and center.

So that's my conclusion I think. Barbie has a lot more to say about girls and identity and relationships, but Lisa vs Malibu Stacy is the more coherent and honest feminist thesis.

SECONDS (1966)

"The rad midpoint between MAD MEN and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, so obviously I dig. You're a schlub who wasted his life and you get turned into Don Draper (Def someone showed this film to Hamm) and live in a beachside painting studio in Malibu, but Rod Serling says "Hole up, brother. Remember how on my show one of the like 4 themes is 'you got what you always wanted and it was terrible?' Diss dat." I mean Rod's not involved but it's got his vibes dig? Rock stepped in when Daddy Dougie had a scheduling conflict, brought his own baggage, and crushed it. This my shiiiit." -Tommy Gazelle

Hello ! I Hope you’re doing good, it’s been a while ! I was wondering if you could help me find fics similar to « Dirty Little Secret » by isthatbloodonhisshirt please ? (As in : celebrity!Derek, fanboy!Stiles and maybe secret relationship ? With a dash of social media if possible !) thank you so much ❤️

Sure, @sakuraoiwr!

Dirty Little Secret by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

(2/2 I 91,001 I Explicit)

“Holy shit, this is a date!” he blurted out, turning back to Derek wide-eyed. “This is a date! You intended for this to be a date, this was supposed to be a date!” He figured if he said it enough times, maybe he would believe it, but so far, no dice.

Derek was scowling again—seriously, did he want wrinkles?—but he just reached into one of the bags and pulled out a burger, checking what was written on the foil in sharpie before handing it over to Stiles.

“Of course it’s a date, what did you think this was?”

***

Fate by Sivan325, SivanShemesh (Sivan325)

(1/1 I 599 I General)

It was the fifth time Stiles had seen him. He seemed to be everywhere Stiles was. If that wasn’t fate, he didn’t know what was.

Sad, Beautiful Boy by Blazing_Birdies

(1/1 I 680 I General)

Derek is famous and secretly dating Stiles, Stiles is tired of hiding and they come out very publicly, cute kissing ensues.

You'd Be Like Heaven to Touch by Nier

(1/1 I 2,018 I Teen)

"We got a runner! Boyd hold the doors! I'm on my way!" Erica sounds way too excited over the PA system about someone shoplifting.

"There she goes again," he hears Jackson over the walkie, amusement evident in his tone. "How do you think this is gonna end for him?"

"I don't know," Stiles honestly thinks they might get sued if Erica repeats what she did the last time someone tried to steal from the store.

Remember Randy Orton, yeah?

Remember his special finisher: RKO?

Yeah, Erica RKO'd the last shoplifter.

Sheepish Wolves by skoosiepants

(1/1 I 3,779 I Teen)

Derek is a movie star. He's an action hero. He's a leading man with criminal scruff, more abs than are humanly possible, and the thick, hairy thighs of a god.

And he's currently nuzzling into Stiles's neck, like he's only just holding back from licking him.

Beacon Hill(s) by twobirdsonesong

(1/1 I 7,860 I General)

Summary: Boy owns travel bookstore. Boy meets movie star. The rest is the rest.

Celebrity Crush by rarepairenabler, softywolf

(1/1 I 30,307 I Explicit)

Stiles wasn’t expecting to meet his favourite actor when Scott helped him land an internship on the set of Jackson’s new film, and he certainly wasn’t expecting Derek to fall in love with him. Not that Stiles was complaining.

Pen Name by rootbeer

(7/7 I 51,007 I Teen)

Anxiety (/aNGˈzī-itē/): A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. ~~ "The set was busy; people bustled about with their various jobs. No one seemed to notice, or maybe they just didn’t care, as the gangly boy looked about nervously. He was all skin and bones, a track of moles across his light skin. He carried a bag across his shoulders, a coffee cup in his left hand and a curious look on his face. There was nothing remarkable looking about him at all, and perhaps, that was the most remarkable thing."

When the Sun Goes Down by Staleinskii

(15/15 I 61,557 I Mature)

Derek Hale was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. For as long as he could remember, his family had run the famous Lunar Coast Hotel in Malibu, and it was the life set out for him. All he knew were galas, charity events, and smiling for the cameras to uphold the Hale reputation. Derek hates the toxic lifestyle of the wealthy elite, instead longing for something more. When he meets local surfer Stiles Stilinski, he's shown the life he's always wanted. As Derek dodges his family's disapproval, the corrupt media, and his mother's plans for him to take over the hotel, he falls for the local "scum" everyone in his social circle looks down on.

Stiles spends most of his college break in a coffee house where he stares after Derek Hale. For some reason, Stiles is unaware of the fact he's quite the musician, and Derek amuses himself at Stiles' obliviousness.

DNI criteria:

proshippers, terfs, any form of trans or LGBT+ phobe, tories, anyone nonce adjacent, folks who ship with Haida or kin my main kins (explained below). minors are free to interact but i'd like to keep things casually friendly and not form close connections.

please do not interact if you self ship with Haida (the others are fine for doubles!) this includes his 'simps', crushes, and anyone who talks about him in a romantic or sexual way. you're absolutely valid, it just makes me uncomfortable to see or talk about. i'm getting better with this though ^^ patience and cooperation is appreciated in the meantime.

for the same reason, please don't interact if you kin the hyena species, Wakko, Ron or Legoshi. seeing others gives me the same discomfort in ways i struggle to explain, because of an identity disorder i'm not too comfy elaborating on in public, my apologies. you're equally as valid, just prefer you didn't interact that's all! i've received therapy for the disorder this year (2024) and it was pretty successful, i feel i can maintain it and myself as one! for now it's just better safe than sorry :')

my goal isn't prevention, only harmless avoidance. please respect my bounderies, thank you! your cooperation with my comfort, even if it understandably doesn't make sense to you personally, is appreciated ;;

So apparently the final shooting of NHIE s3 was in Malibu. To be more specifical, it seems that the last scene of season 3 was filmed in Malibu, which is a very special place to Devi since she spread her dad's ashes and then she kissed Ben at the end of season 1.

I've already read a lot of posts about the fact that this could possibly mean a scene where Ben and Devi could be finally endgame.

I just want to say something, as a huge fan of NHIE and as a Benvi shipper:

Of course, as a hopeless romantic I really wish this means something related to Ben and Devi and the possibility of them being finally endgame.

But after watching season 2 ...

I feel the need of getting my feet back on the ground, because Mindy Kaling and her writers' team are unpredictable.

So I think that it's better for our shipper's hearts not getting too excited at the possibility of Benvi being endgame simply because Mindy and her team likes a LOT turning tables.

At least this is what I'll do.

My relationship with this fandom changed a lot in the past months.

And mostly because my perception of the fandom itself and the series changed too.

I still love this show because it had such a strong impact to me: I loved the portraying of all these characters and the various relationships between them, they felt deeply real to me.

Obviously I'm not immune at the Ship Topic because I have my favourite one. But even though I am a Benvi Shipper I don't hate Daxton and the reasons are very simple.

I accept Paxton as Devi's teenage crush, especially because of the hotness topic: after all Devi's still a teenager so it's quite normal for a girl like her wanting to live the classic high school "Teenage Dream" with a hot and sweet boyfriend like Paxton.

I've always preferred Devi's relationship with Ben because to me it was more deep and meaningful. But I have to say... in the past months even my perception of them as a couple changed a lot.

They are a perfect match on paper but this isn't enough to make them the right person for each other, it doesn't mean they're made to be endgame.

Personally I think that they still need time to grow up individually, first of all things.

There are traits of Ben that I don't like for sure, and this made me think that maybe after all he's not the Right Guy for Devi at this very moment of her life.

Same thing for Ben, because there are traits of Devi which cannot make her the right person for him right now.

Devi needs to understand her value as an individual and especially she must figure out that she doesn't need to be involved in a romantic relationship in order to be okay with herself. But she needs a lot of time.

Even Ben needs to find his own dimension to grow individually and he also needs a lot of time.

But the thing is... if Ben really had deep romantic feelings for Devi, I hope these make him realize that he needs to come out from his dark corner and put his pride aside. During the final scene when he's watching Devi and Paxton dancing at the prom, his expression his deeply shocked and devastated. I hope he would finally get some courage from that moment to stand up for Devi. Only if she's really what he want, of course.

I also don't think that the final route for them is to be endgame at the end of the show.

Honestly, after all this time rewatching the episodes (and after seeing the poor treatment that Devi had from the fandom) what I really hope for the very final moment of the series is for Devi graduating and going to college ready to build her future.

We must simply accept the fact that maybe romantic endgame is not in the plan of Mindy Kaling or the other writers.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't be happy if Ben and Devi were endgame at the end of season 3: I would be very happy. But I wouldn't be upset if they weren't because they are not so right for each other.

❗DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion, I don't want to upset anybody. I just needed to say what I think.
