Hello hun ! Are you taking requests ?? I don't even know if you write for him but if you do, could I request a fluffy Orm x Surface dweller like, the story of how they met ? They fall in love and he manages to take her to Atlantis somehow ??? Thank you, love your work !

Hey nonny, thank you so much for the kind words ! And, uuuuh, do I write for King Orm???? Have you seen my content lately????? This shithead literally took over my whole life???? I love him more than anything??????

Anyway, this is what I came up with, I hope you like it I know it’s very cheesy but what can I say I am a hoe for soft Orm. Also, English isn’t my first language, please excuse the mistakes.

- Everyone has the ability to change for the better: That is what Orm taught Atlantis; and that’s what you taught Orm.

Ever since Arthur ascended to the throne of Atlantis, the great underwater city had quickly been regaining its past glory.

Arthur trusted Orm to rule beside him, but he knew that his brother still despised the Surface dwellers – no matter how much Arthur wanted to change that. He took Orm to the Surface several times and tried to make him realize the beauty of it… to no avail.

“Surface dwellers are destructive. They are destroying their world and if we aren’t careful, they will ruin our oceans too. Arthur, I swear to Poseidon, if they do not start taking better care of their environment, I will have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.”

“Yeah and we both know how that’s gonna end, brother. Just try to understand them; they’re not all bad. Some might even… surprise you – if you let them.”

Orm tried to make an effort for his family, but he stood firm on his position –until he met you.

He would mostly come to the Surface late at night and usually didn’t get further than the beach. Despite what his brother had advised him, he wanted to avoid contact with Surface dwellers as much as possible. Usually, he just took a long walk on the beach, watching the city lights from afar, trying to adjust to the salty air in his lungs.

But this night, something was different. This night, he was not alone on that beach.  

You were walking on the beach and carrying a trash bag for discarded or washed-up rubbish. It was more peaceful to do at night. It felt rewarding to clean the day’s mess, and at this hour, you were less likely to come across someone else. Or so you thought...

What is that guy doing in the water? It must be freezing! you thought.

“Is... Is everything ok?” You asked him.

Orm didn’t know how to interact with Surface dwellers. He had met Thomas once or twice, but he never particularly warmed to him. Still, he knew that a strange man standing waist-deep in the sea at night would be an unsettling sight for anyone.

He slowly approached you. “I’m fine, don’t worry. I was just, uh, taking a walk.”

The moonlight was shining down on his pale skin, enabling you to get a good look at this stranger and his gorgeous blue eyes. You could easily have been frightened by his imposing figure, but there was something fascinating about him.

At first, he didn’t seem to believe you when you explained what you were doing at the beach. A Surface dweller that wasn’t a complete unworthy idiot was unthinkable. But the more you talked to him, the more he seemed to open up to you.

“Hey, would you like to help me?” you asked him after a while.

And that was how everything began. This soon became a habit. Every night he would be waiting for you at this exact same spot, where you went on to spend hours talking and cleaning the beach.

It didn’t take you long to figure out where he came from. It didn’t change a thing for you.

He kissed you for the first time on that beach, just before diving under the waves to go back to Atlantis. You had leaned towards him and gently kissed him on the cheek to say goodbye. It was the first time you had seen him blush. At that moment, the mighty Ocean Master turned to a shy little teenager right before your eyes, but he soon regained confidence. He wrapped his arms around your back and slid his hands down your spine, pulling you closer to him. He looked deep into your eyes before crashing his lips against yours, letting you taste the salt on his lips. You had never known how badly you needed his lips on yours until the moment he actually kissed you. He kissed you with such passion and heat that it was almost surprising that his element was water, and not fire.

Around you, Orm tried to act like a normal guy, but deep down he was still true to his nature and would lose his temper every time he saw someone litter.

“I swear to King Atlan, if you do not immediately pick up the garbage you just discarded I will release the wrath of the Seven Seas on your miserable existence.”

And people, seeing that spark of fury in his eyes, obliged.

Even though your two worlds were at peace, you both found it very hard not to be able to see each other more often. Orm finally understood what his mother had felt when she had to leave Thomas, and he sensed that it was even harder for you not being able to follow him in his realm. He could tell that made you incredibly sad, and he couldn’t stand it.

And so one day he decided to change everything.

“You know, Atlantis is dying to meet their future Queen.” He had that mischievous look in his eye that you’d come to love. The word ‘Queen’ sent a shiver down your spine but you quickly brought him back to reality.

“You do know that I can’t breathe underwater, right?” you scoffed.

“I have something to show you, my love,” he grinned.

Orm had designed a suit with a limited supply of air especially for you, using Atlantean technologies. You were so happy that you jumped into his arms.

Once in the suit, you held tightly to his shoulders as he led you deep into the ocean and into his realm. You were simply in awe. Orm had told you almost everything there was to know about Atlantis, but you never thought it would be that breathtaking. It felt like a dream.

He was really proud to introduce you to everybody, but still he was worried about you and never left your side.

“Can you breathe okay?” “Are you feeling tired?” “Do you have any pain?” He wouldn’t let go of your hand the whole night.

Arthur, Mera and Atlanna were delighted to finally meet you, and Atlanna greeted you by saying “We are honored to welcome you in our family, Y/N!”

Arthur confessed to you that he was indefinitely grateful that you managed to show Orm there was more to the surface than greed and pollution. You respectfully thanked him, but said you were the one who was grateful, because Orm had brought you something far more important: Love and family.

“My Queen, it is time to go home now,” he said as the sun began to rise. “You have already been underwater for too long.”

“This isn’t fair. I want to stay here with you, Orm. It aches me to be apart from you so much.” You didn’t care about the fact that your body had slowly begun to feel numb due to the pressure of the ocean, or that your breathing had started to fall short. You felt like you belong here, more than you ever did on the surface, next to the man you loved.

He took your arms and gently placed them around his shoulders. “Trust me sweetheart, there is nothing I would love more than keeping you here by my side: But I can’t expose your body to such risks.” Seeing the sadness fill your eyes, Orm lifted your chin up and whispered “You are the Queen of Atlantis, my love. This is just a goodbye.”

You wrapped your arms around him and he rushed towards the surface at what felt like light speed to you.

Once on the beach, he helped you out of the suit and, after making sure you were ok, held you in his arms.

“I will be back for you in no time, my love”

Getting back to the reality of your surface dwelling life would be harder after this, but you knew Orm valued your safety above all else, and that he did everything he could to spend more time with you.

He even told you he wanted to come live with you on the surface for good, because he missed you so much. He asked his brother who already gave him his blessing. But you wouldn’t allow it.

“You are an Atlantean King. It wouldn’t be right if you changed who you are for me. We don’t need to choose between our worlds, Orm,” you breathed as he held you close, looking at you like you were the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on.

“At land, or at sea, I will always be yours, my Princess.”

I actually watched Aquaman a couple weeks back, been meaning to make a post about it but I keep forgetting

I really enjoyed the movie. A couple too many one liners and exposition, but other than that, super solid movie

Also, mad props to DC for making a superhero movie where not only no parents die but they actually bring back to life a presumed dead mother and give her and her love a happy ending. 

But really, this movie has so many great things to appreciate:

The fighting scenes and coreography are so pleasant to watch, the action is fluid and takes full advantage of the environment rather than using janky action cuts

They show you the whole 7 kingdoms of Atlantis and their populace in an organic, tied-to-the-plot way like damn

They also show the good in the above-the-sea world, really sticking true with the best-of-both-worlds theme rather than just putting it out there in name only

The whole thing with the piranha people, suddenly I was watching a horror movie. The shots of Arthur and Mera slowly diving with the red light as they’re surrounded by hordes of zombie fish were fantastic

Arthur and Orm’s interactions. I sincerely did not expect them to be so... candid? to one another. Like Orm going “I hate you because you caused mom to die but I don’t want to kill you” and Arthur’s “For years I wanted to meet my little brother”. I fully expected them to just slugfest one another, so that was a pleasant surprise

Arthur and his dad actually having a nice relationship, all the nods to maori and new zealand life, the whole sequence in the bar with the bikers. The photograph sequence going from awkward beeting to Arthur riding on their shoulders was such a thing of beauty

Also, how about that Black Manta huh. I love that he’s a villain born of Arthur’s shittiest deeds. I love that he survives the movie and will likely come back to join the injustice league or whatever they’re gonna call it

Actual god damn character development for Arthur, who goes from a brute to someone who beats a giant monster by talking to her and opening up about his vulnerabilities, and ends up defeating the final boss with a god damn counter

And I wanna double down on the counter because it is So Satisfying from a narrative point of view. It’s not just a wait for the attack and counter kind of move, it’s a very visual, very obvious shield-like move that can only be used by someone with the patience to stand there like a giant target, and only works on someone who’s aggresive enough to try and force their way through. It’s a move that redirects and counters anger and agression, the kind of move that beginning-of-the-movie Arthur would never have pulled off, the kind of move he could only have thought of using after conquering his own anger and self doubts and it really shows how far along he’s come

And really, that can only be possible because DC actually didn’t kill any parents during this movie, which is an honest to God miracle. They had every chance, and they chose to do better. Thomas could have been killed by Orm’s first strike, but no, Mera revives him. Atlanna could have been killed by her husband but no, she survives and gets to save both her sons who were so deeply wounded by her death. And while there’s a small part of my mind that thinks it would have been a better character journey to have Arthur realize he wasn’t to blame for Atlanna’s death in any way, shape or form, a much louder part is still cheering that Atlanna and Thomas get to reunite and have a happy ending, and that Orm accepts to live in defeat rather than keep asking that Arthur kill him

It’s a happy ending for everybody, and I love it

So yeah, Aquaman is a great movie, go watch it if you still can, you won’t be dissappointed

DCEU: 5 Most Heartbreaking Separations (Including Wonder Woman 1984)

The DC Extended Universe has been very famous among most Hollywood movie fans. The DCEU has introduced various superheroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman. Still, even after having superpowers, these heroes could not stop some of the most heartbreaking separations from happening. The DCEU has always focused a bit more on the separations of the main characters. However, it does not seem to be likable, but this has been a common thing in the DC Extended Universe to watch at large. This article lists the five most heartbreaking separations that we have seen in the DC Extended Universe.

Superman and Lois, Before He Goes to Sacrifice Himself (Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice)

In the film Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Superman is treated very badly by the public. But still, he remains true to his amazing and selfless nature and decides to sacrifice himself to kill Doomsday. This decision of Superman was the proceeding reason for his separation from Lois, who was upset with this decision of Superman. He sacrificed for the people who had been against him, and this is the most heartbreaking separation in this film as he has to separate from Lois, whom he calls “my world.”

Steve’s Last Words To Diana (Wonder Woman)

Steve and Diana are considered to be the best couple of the DC Extended Universe. But, they have to separate very soon, which is a heartbreaking moment for every fan. He decides to die on the plane and tells Diana that he loved her. It is very sad because Diana did not completely understand when Steve spoke to her. Steve and Wonder Woman could have lived with each other their whole life, but Steve’s choice to sacrifice himself has been a reason to separate the two lovers in this scenario.

Steve Accepting His Fate And Telling Diana To Let Him Go (Wonder Woman 1984)

The film Wonder Woman 1984 brings another heartbreaking separation with it. After realizing that to regain the powers of Diana, she has to renounce her wish from the Dreamstone, Steve asks Diana to let him go. She does not want to get separated this time as she knows that Steve would die this time. But somehow, she is convinced by the latter. It is really hard to say goodbye after a 66 years long-awaited reunion. This is one of the most heartbreaking separations in the DC Extended Universe.

Maxwell Lord Realizing He’s Put His Son In Danger (Wonder Woman 1984)

Technically it does not happen because it is a vision, but it is still a separation as Maxwell Lord sees his son escaping from his grasp. Wonder Woman makes him see what would happen if he continues this confusion when she realizes that he has become too powerful with the Dreamstone. Lord sees his own son in peril, which is a separation of Lord from his son. In this way, it will also be considered as another heartbreaking separation in the DC Extended Universe.

Atlanna Leaving Tom To Save Him And Their Son (Aquaman)

Atlanna escapes from her motherland and starts living with Thomas Curry. They both live happily and also have a son. But she is forced to go back to her arranged marriage as she has been tracked down. It is really heartbreaking to leave your family behind and what is more painful is Arthur resenting his mother throughout his life. He does not realize how painful it is for his mother to leave her family behind. This is another heartbreaking separation we have seen in the DC Extended Universe as Atlanna has to separate forcefully from her family. In this article, we have discussed the five most heartbreaking separations we have seen in the DC Extended Universe and concluded that out of all the above-listed heartbreaking separations, the separation of Steve from Diana has been considered to be the most heartbreaking separation in the film Wonder Woman 1984.

          Three (+1) Movies You Should Catch Before the New Year!

                         WOKE! Film Reviews for the Holidaze

                                                     by

                                      Lucas Avram Cavazos

Mary Poppins Returns ###-1/2   Let it first be said that there is no way that anyone can EVER take the place of Julie Andrews (and she was none-too-keen on having a cameo in this remake, though it seemingly had her “blessing.”) That said, there could be worse people chosen to play the part of a modern-day Mary Poppins than Emily Blunt, who takes the proverbial reins…perhaps to a fault? From a critic’s point of view, she plays the part a tad too hard. Whereas Andrews’ iconic character was curt, she was also practically perfect in her genteel ways as an actress playing a role. Blunt does an exceptional recreation of a prolific Hollywood character, but she’s almost too humanlike in her manner, at times sucking the sweetness of the original character from its true nature. That said, she does her best to help nail the plot line sequences that certainly do their part in touching the soul. We can sum up the story easily, as we now find a grown-up widower Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) and his two precocious kids teaming up with Auntie Jane (Emily Mortimer), a suffragette fighter like her mum before her, along with nanny-in-tow and the cantankerous time-tellers and their annoying-ass roof canyon, which incidentally commences the film. Well, not before a real intro with the “new Dick Van Dyke” as Lin-Manuel Miranda plays city lamplighter Jack, sprucing up that horrid faux-Cockney accent left over from Sir Van Dyke, in the meantime. The arrival of Mary occurs when, under duress by the bank where Michael works, he is forced to accept the fact that after his wife’s death and intent to keep her alive, he has fallen egregiously behind in his house note payment, and must now fork over the entire amount or forfeit the house on Cherry Tree Lane.  Thankfully, the music of the Sherman Brothers, who composed the original score lives on despite their passing through Marc Shaiman. Now then, though there are some great song numbers and the energy is always lit, without them I wonder how strong the film could have been…maybe better, maybe not? Everyone has their role to play in this film and they do it well, you will most definitely tear up, and at least one of the songs will get to your core most likely, but after the screening and the feel-good loveliness wears off, it’s hard not to see that the film is merely a modern-day, paint-by-numbers interpretation of a Disney classic. (Now playing across Catalonia and Spain)

Ralph Breaks the Internet ##-1/2   For years, the sheer nature of the animated film sequel was one usually relegated to direct-to-video/on demand sources. Soon, at the seeming behest of millions of adoring children, we shall receive Frozen II: Ever SO Cold (surely I jest with the name), but in the mean time, Disney has thrust a premiere animated sequel upon us, a sequel to the blockbuster film Wreck It Ralph from a few years ago. Firstly, the egregious and rather obvious usage of so much marketed and paid-for advertisement through product placement is outrageous. I suppose one could say that it’s necessary, as it is clearly the only way to lock in zombified youth and keep their uninterested/ing parents mitigated with visuals of brands they know and will likely go out and buy as soon as the film’s funny but superfluous 90-something minutes are over. Whereas the original cartoon tested the fires using retro love showcased by work vs. self plot lines, this new, thin-as-thread argument revolves around Ralph (John C. Reilly) and dear mate Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) as they are faced with a work dilemma when Vanellope’s game Sugar Rush is shut down, leaving her and all its characters gameless/homeless! Ralph suggests that she just hang with him all the time, but that would never do for our female protagonist. No, she sets off to replace a missing steering wheel that finds them $27K in debt to eBay, so they decide to cash in on Ralph’s vintage appeal to meme or GiF him into some quick cash draw. It becomes all way too much, and even the good-natured voices and wannabe themes of Ralph and Vanellope, pale in comparison to the megalomaniacal barrage of big-name companies and internet giants who so obviously paid for this trite shite. (Now playing across Catalonia and Spain)

Aquaman ###-1/2   This film actually made me tear up, and I abhor admitting that, as this is a bloody comic book-based popcorn film, but I despise hiding truth even more, so I must let you know…this DC Film is cornball as all hell… and fantastic, as well! Starring a host of insanely fine-form actors, be it due to Oscar cred or fine-ass bodies, Aquaman begs for the customary suspension of disbelief (after all, it IS a comic book movie), and with that in tow, we view the film as an underwater wonderland…with a tonne of overacting. But I do dare say that even the how’d-he-get-here Jason Momoa is convincing enough as the titular character and son of Thomas, a lighthouse keeper and Atlanna, Queen of Atlantis (Nicole Kidman), who washes ashore and falls in love with Thomas. Are we all still on the same page here? So then, as he’s a bit of a mud-blood, and after his mother is kidnapped, Arthur (Aquaman’s real name) has to learn to harness his power while trouble is abrew down below. Enter in stage left his half-brother Orn (played to oddly Aryan perfection by Patrick Wilson) hell-bent on culling together the seven seas, so as to crown himself the Ocean Master. This sets off the need to keep the younger audiences in form with the rest of the adults and comic dorks, so it is here where director James Wan gives us his atypical flim-flam of zingy one-liners, more dazzling actor-star turns like Willem Dafoe and Dolph Lundgren, and the sex symbol is introduced for the horny ones’ fancies, but may I say that the acting Amber Heard employs as Mera, Orm’s fiancee, is both terrible and seducing in that college/high school one-act play kind of way. All in all, everything is set up so as to be easily palatable and do its best to war with the mighty fray that is the Marvel Universe. And then there is the finale battle scene, a war waged underwater that becomes any person’s imaginary spectacle, and I enjoyed every single moment of it. Well-played and well-done for the young and young at heart alike! (Now playing across Catalonia and Spain)

Fahrenheit 11/9 ####   Premiering a few weeks ago here in Spain, and only at very select cinema screens across the country, this is the first documentary in some time by Michael Moore that could play across an international landscape and should be required viewing on any critic’s or person’s list, frankly. Yes, it is that good. The titular oddity refers to the day after we all woke up across the world in shock and awe that there had been an extreme, perhaps unprecedented, blockade thrown into the realm of the New World Order, which of course, can wage its own war across the socio-political landscape. The way in which Moore has created this think piece is brutal yet funny and all too real if maddeningly convincing. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Moore is a socialist-liberal, and that now runs through my mind as I watch his docs and even now as I scribe. That said, even if this is not his best film, it is undoubtedly the one film in his oeuvre that holds the viewers’ feet to the fire and calls for us to fight the nasty funk Trump’s administration brings in this 2018/19 world. From his hilarious if frightening deduction that Trump only decided to run for the office in order to chastise NBC after realising they had paid Gwen Stefani more for her spot on The Voice than his salary for The Apprentice to the bare way Moore strips the last two years down to a finite joke, this movie hits a lot of targets succinctly. But, it’s when he takes it back to his roots, to Flint, Michigan, and ends up involving all local and state politics, that we start to see the more sinister undertakings happening amongst conservative parties, ideals and societies. It becomes a tad creepy, for lack of a better word. When you add in the fact of the Parkland High School shooting and the way Moore later fuses footage of Hitler and his minions and followers with a rally speech made by the current occupant of the White House, it becomes all too obvious that things are exactly as we think they are (A HOT MESS!) and we have very little recourse rather than claiming truth and shooting down this current and insane barrage of falsehoods.

In an interview with Sydney Morning Herald, Jason confirmed that he landed the role after Aquaman executive producer Zack Snyder invited him to read for the iconic role of Batman. Jason, according to the report knew that he was being booby trapped.

When Jason received an invitation from Zack, he was shocked. He said, "I'm like, what the f**k, I'm not Batman and they said: "listen, it's just a scene, you go in, you read it."

He explained, "So I went in and played the rudest, crudest version of what they made for me because I knew it was a booby trap."

Zack was impressed with Jason's performance and he cast Jason in both "Justice League" which is due to release and "Aquaman" which is slated for a 2018 release.
