#Para: Rory

[charlierhodes]

Charlie chuckled softly, appreciating Rory's effort to lighten the mood. “If you wanna try your luck at the games, be my guest. But I'll warn you now, I sunk a pretty good chunk of change and still ended up empty handed.” She glanced at him with a playful smile. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself despite the book tour. It sounds like it was a lot of work. But hey, it’s good to see you in a more relaxed setting.” She looked around, spotting a ring toss booth with colorful prizes. “How about we start there?”

"I'm glad to hear it, love," Rory said with a crooked grin appearing across his features. "To be fair, that ride is a bit sketchy, but it seems like it could be safe. I just haven't gotten up close and personal with it." Licking his lips, he shook his head. "Would you like to win somethin'? I could be of assistance." Looking over at Charlie, his shoulders relaxed a bit. "It's been a good day. I've just recently came back from a small book tour, so I talked to a lot of people in a very short time." A small sigh left his nostrils before the same crooked grin from earlier appeared again. "But I'm havin' some fun, love. I promise."

It was tough to not get personal about the people Carson helped during his shifts, especially in a community like Paxton. Carson did his best to keep a professional distance, but after bonding with the kid during the long abulance ride, knowing his parents were on a work trip to Tucson and wouldn't be able to get a flight in until later, Carson had promised to come by as soon as his shift was over in a few hours. The nearest hospital was a little commute away, serving several local towns and communities. Carson knew most of the staff, but the nurse who walked into the room was new to him. "Hey," Carson said, keeping his voice low. Brayden had fallen asleep, likely under the influence of the medication he was on. "Sorry, Linda said it was okay if I sit with him. We were playing Uno, and he just recently dozed off."

TWINS RAAAAAAH

[rosesonbreeze]

OPEN TO: F/NB PLOT: Our muses are childhood friends/teenage lovers who have been in and out of each other's lives for the last two decades. Now, Javier shows up to your muse's engagement party to talk some sense into your muse. MUSE: Javier Jimenez-Wagner, 37, He/Him, former race car driver turned ne'er-do-well heir to his family business

"That guy? Seriously?" There's a hollow laugh that escapes Javier, equal parts sanctimonious and embarrassed. For the bride-to-be, or for him? The jury is out. But he's never been the kind to bury his emotions, or let self-preservation win out over doing the right thing. And if his childhood friend never speaks to him again? Well, then that's the price he'll have to pay. "We used to make fun of guys like that. And what, you're just going to marry him? Have him put you up in some fucking ivory tower?" Javier gestures back to the engagement party. The lavish but stuffy affair, that she's organized for this sham wedding. Lowering his arm, he finally softens his voice. "This isn't you. This party? Spending a fortune and inviting press so no one notices you're not in love with him." His eyes dart between hers, swallowing the lump in his throat. "I notice."

"I'm DEF enjoying it you little handsome man, you." She said with a giggle, enjoying the fact that someone else seemed to like her hat just as much as she did. "I got nothing planned! I mean, I was going to build a sandcastle, because I would be super sad if I didn't, but I'll happily defer that plan and walk with you if you'd like some company. Spending some time with you will for sure be worth it." She said with an exaggerated wink.

"You on the lookout for some hotties to fool around with, or just wanting to bask in the sun on a walk?"

Hearing someone shout something cause Rory to turn around. He immediately noticed it was Stacey, and she was running towards him. “Stacey! Hey there, love.” A laugh escaped him as he stopped walking, waiting on her. “The sun is quite lovely. What about ya? Ye enjoying’ it?” He brought a hand up, hitting the brim of her hat gently. “Care ta walk with me? Unless ya got other plans. Don’t want ya hold ya up, if ya got somethin’ planned.” A smile played at his lips, shoving his hands into the pockets of his swim trunks.

Eli sighed as he leaned back against the bar and stretched out his aching neck and shoulders. The after work rush was finally calming down, and he intended to use the lull to get some prep work done, once he'd had a well earned 2 minute break, though. He grunted as he straightened up and went into the back, hauling everything he thought he'd need for the rest of his shift through to the front.

Once that was done, he got started on cutting up various citrus fruits, not that there was much call for anything too fancy in the dive bar, but he knew the one night he didn't have everything prepped, that'd be the night a bunch of people came in asking for cocktails. He glanced up and nodded at the few people who'd come to the bar while he was working, silently letting them know he'd be right with them, and started slicing the last orange he had waiting. He was almost done when the knife slipped, cutting a clean slice through the middle of his left palm. He cursed loudly and profusely as the juice from the orange went into the wound, quickly grabbing a rag from the bar to stem the bleeding.

@cag3dsong | for river song.

It remains odd that his daughter - his daughter! - is an intergalactic legend. A fact Rory is extremely proud of, really, but that does not detract the fact that whenever he meets River, he is hard-pressed not to hover and worry. That's his kid, okay!

"Come on, let me take a look at that before you have to jump off again."

Mercedes looked at him, her head titled a little. "Are you always so chivalrous, Rory?" She asked, sharking her head slightly. He was always so kind and caring when she spoke to him, not that he was all that different from the other guys she knew, but Rory was just sweet. It was a nice trait to see in a guy. "Oh I'm not rushin' especially since you just got yourself a drink." She replied, giggling a little. "You having a good time baby?"

Walking into the bar, Rory looked around for a moment, seeing what drink options they had. He headed to the bar, spying Mercedes sitting there, taking shots. A smile appeared on his face as she turned to him. "Uh, ya. I can do that, love. I could also assist you back to your hut as well. Whenever ya are ready though." Rory lifted a hand to signal for the bartender to come over. "Rum and coke, please," he told the bartender before turning back to her. "No rush though, love."

Hunter was prepared to be greeted by the usual rushed footsteps from Jude and Ollie. And in the recent days, a side-eyed glance from Kat as Lia disappeared to her bedroom. Instead, all Hunter walked in to was the dog excited for his arrival. Tail wagging, jumping to hind legs and forcing Hunter to deliver a few pets...and a scratch or two behind it's ears. All curiousness for the empty cabin subsided as Hunter lowered himself on the couch and decided to take the quiet as a form of peace. He settled comfortably, expecting to hear the women's squawks as they approached the cabin at any moment. He took great joy in the opportunity to sink into empty thoughts before they disrupted the stillness. His head rested back, his eyes closed and he did what he loved doing the most. Think of nothing, feel nothing. Buster had already hopped beside him on the couch and was panting away but Hunter was able to blur the sound into white noise. And, just as his mind managed to drift with the quiet...the curiousness returned. Hunter didn't open his eyes but shifted with annoyance on the couch to try and find comfort. He tried to let his mind drift to the quiet once more but the curiousness returned as suspicion. Ignoring it, Hunter cleared his throat. Shifted again. Determined to not wonder where they were because he could do with an hour or two without their voices. He tried to focus on the quiet, wanting it to wash over him but instead of a blissful stillness there was just annoyance. Until finally, in defeat, his eyes opened. "Where in the fuck-"

@wildthiiing | liked for a starter. for mick.

His fingers fumble with the bandage he is wrapping around his wrist. Ray knows he can ask for help, but it seems so stupid that he's gotten hurt, and he doesn't really want to see or hear people's judgement right now. So he struggles on his own, only pausing when he hears footsteps behind him.

[peaceeandcoolestvibes]

They downvote everyone who disagrees into oblivion but lately, they’re getting the idea that maybe he’s been with someone the whole time. No offense but there’s some solid reasons why he doesn’t share 😂 he doesn’t sing about love since 2017 for no reason lmfao

Carson knew it was probably a lot for a first 'date' to be Thanksgiving dinner. He'd wanted Rory to have people to spend the holidays with, but wondered if it had been too much. It wouldn't have been weird if the two were simply friends, so why should he overthink it just because he also happened to find the guy attractive? As long as Rory was okay with it, so was Carson.

It would be nice to have some time with just the two of them, though. Carson's family and extended family had luckily been on their best behavior, but Carson had been too nervous to actually make a move. He had hardly been able to get Rory alone. Rory kissing his cheek when they said goodbye was the closest they'd got. "What are you having?" Carson asked, reaching to take Rory's jacket for him. "I think it's the whiskey special tonight, but I'll probably stick to a light beer."

Oi tudo bem?

você acha que BJ poderia ter alguma piscopatia ? Veja bem não falo de Lydia e toda aquela polêmica mas sim da maneira que ele mata sua ex é terrível não sei se a palavra pode ser usada aqui então troco por outra ele massacra Dolores e ninguém sabe se ela estáva viva ou não quando acontece aquilo com Dolores ele precisa ter uma grande frieza amo Bj mas não acho que ele seja doce ou anti herói para mim ele é um vilão tô cancelada ?

Hi lovely, since I don't know Portuguese, I used Google translate to answer this one, I hope it's okay! (I do understand Portuguese to some extent reading it, because my native language is Spanish, but to make sure I did understand the question I also translated it with Google translate. I hope I understood correctly!) I'll post the translated answer under the Read More cut, in case the translation is wonky 😅.

I don't think you are wrong in your reading of Betelgeuse as a villain at all, and no, don't worry, you aren't cancelled at all for seeing him that way. It's part of the appeal that he's a wildcard, and also a sleazy, twisted goofball; you never know what exactly he'll do next. He is originally presented as a villain in the first film, too, though a very complex one, as he falls in a gray area. And even though his character seems to have evolved to some extent (even though Tim Burton would probably not admit to it in interviews), into a gentler, less prone to act out kind of character, he still can be unpredictable and wild.

What he did to Delores, though, was something he did in the heat of the moment, but it does reflect he has (or had while he was alive) a deep darkness inside him. He had a rough life, and he thought he finally found happiness. And then he found himself betrayed and used, and the happiness he thought he found was a lie. He was dying, murdered by the first woman he trusted and believed himself in love with in a very long time (he did say his heart had already withered long ago, before he met her). He killed her in cold blood and took his revenge right there before finally collapsing with the poison. One could read his reaction as him being cold-blooded and unhinged, and while that's understandable, he was also deeply hurt and dying. I personally don't think he was ever in love with her; it was more of a lust thing, but of course he did trust her and ended up being taken for a fool, used, and killed. He didn't let her have her way with the ritual, and the entire affair ended bloody.

The way he killed her by hacking her into parts reflects he does have darkness inside him, though I don't think he's prone to explode that way under less extreme circumstances than literally being murdered by the person he had just married.

Whenever Betelgeuse has presumably killed again in both films, he's done it in a goofy, cartoonish sort of way; so while he is completely capable, I don't think he's icy cold as a killer. He could have also killed Rory on the spot, but instead he made him expose his true intentions to Lydia and everyone else present at the church (and made him watch and participate in the wedding afterwards. Better revenge if you ask me 😂 gotta love BJ). So while killing is as easy as a the snap of his fingers to him (he literally just stared at the influencers to trap them in their phones; they may not be dead and gone, but Betelgeuse is that powerful to empty out an entire church of people just by staring at them!) he doesn't appear to resort to killing unless he has to do it either as part of a bioexorcism or to save his butt etc.

Anyway, Beej can be so "adorkable" sometimes, it's easy to forget he's immensely powerful and dangerous.

He may not be really cold-blooded and prone to snap and kill, but that he can be villainous, scary powerful, and willing to kill, there's no question about it. The fun thing with Beej though, is that we can see him as an anti-hero or a villain if we want, and I think both interpretations can be correct. He did heroic actions in the second film that in my opinion placed him in the role of the hero in that film, but his readiness to kill and discard people (like the influencers, whose fates we aren't sure of at the end), and his willingness to sacrifice others for his sake (like he dressed up Bob in his outfit to confuse Delores), makes him more an anti-hero (with solid villainous tendencies) than a hero.

The fact that he's an unpredictable anti-hero (or complex villain, totally valid as well), and yet would never harm those he truly loves, like Lydia and now her family, is part of the great, lovable appeal of Betelgeuse currently. 💜 Let us not forget he could have very easily forced Lydia to marry him at that church despite the code violation, as the immensely powerful demon that he is, and yet, he let her banish him away. He could have also forced himself on her at some point, but always respected her (except that one insta-pregnancy lol but that was an illusion, so does it count? 😅). He could have threatened Astrid to make Lydia accept his terms, too, but Astrid was always safe with him.

Tl;dr: yes, it's totally valid to see him as a complex villain, just as it's valid to see him as an anti-hero. The important thing is, all of that frankly terrifying power that he has, is literally in the palm of Lydia Deetz hands, and we love him for it.

(Portuguese answer below!)

Google translated Portuguese answer (I hope it's correct!)

Não acho que você esteja errado ao ler Betelgeuse como um vilão, e não, não se preocupe, você não está de forma alguma cancelado por vê-lo dessa forma. Faz parte do apelo que ele seja um curinga e também um idiota desprezível e distorcido; você nunca sabe o que exatamente ele fará a seguir. Ele também é originalmente apresentado como um vilão no primeiro filme, embora seja muito complexo, pois cai em uma área cinzenta. E mesmo que seu personagem pareça ter evoluído até certo ponto (mesmo que Tim Burton provavelmente não admitisse isso em entrevistas), para um tipo de personagem mais gentil e menos propenso a atuar, ele ainda pode ser imprevisível e selvagem.

O que ele fez com Delores, porém, foi algo que fez no calor do momento, mas reflete que ele tem (ou teve enquanto estava vivo) uma escuridão profunda dentro dele. Ele teve uma vida difícil e pensou que finalmente encontrou a felicidade. E então ele se viu traído e usado, e a felicidade que pensou ter encontrado era uma mentira. Ele estava morrendo, assassinado pela primeira mulher em quem confiava e por quem acreditava estar apaixonado há muito tempo (ele disse que seu coração já havia murchado há muito tempo, antes de conhecê-la). Ele a matou a sangue frio e se vingou ali mesmo antes de finalmente desmaiar com o veneno. Pode-se interpretar sua reação como sendo de sangue frio e desequilibrado e, embora isso seja compreensível, ele também estava profundamente magoado e morrendo. Pessoalmente, não acho que ele algum dia tenha se apaixonado por ela; era mais uma questão de luxúria, mas é claro que ele confiou nela e acabou sendo tomado por idiota, usado e morto. Ele não a deixou seguir o ritual, e todo o caso terminou sangrento.

A maneira como ele a matou, cortando-a em pedaços, reflete que ele tem escuridão dentro dele, embora eu não ache que ele seja propenso a explodir dessa forma em circunstâncias menos extremas do que literalmente ser assassinado pela pessoa com quem acabara de se casar.

Sempre que Betelgeuse presumivelmente matou novamente em ambos os filmes, ele fez isso de uma forma boba e caricatural, então, embora ele seja completamente capaz, não acho que ele seja um assassino gelado. Ele também poderia ter matado Rory na hora, mas em vez disso o fez expor suas verdadeiras intenções para Lydia e todos os outros presentes na igreja (e o fez assistir e participar do casamento depois. Melhor vingança se você me perguntar 😂 tenho que amar BJ ). Então, embora matar seja tão fácil quanto estalar de dedos para ele (ele literalmente apenas olhou para os influenciadores para prendê-los em seus telefones; eles podem não estar mortos e desaparecidos, mas Betelgeuse é tão poderosa para esvaziar uma igreja inteira de pessoas apenas olhando para elas!) ele não parece recorrer à matança, a menos que tenha que fazê-lo como parte de um bioexorcismo ou para salvar sua bunda, etc.

De qualquer forma, Beej pode ser tão “adorável” às vezes que é fácil esquecer que ele é imensamente poderoso e perigoso.

Ele pode não ter sangue frio e ser propenso a atacar e matar, mas pode ser vilão, assustador, poderoso e disposto a matar, não há dúvida sobre isso. O divertido com Beej, porém, é que podemos vê-lo como um anti-herói ou um vilão, se quisermos, e acho que ambas as interpretações podem estar corretas. Ele fez ações heróicas no segundo filme que, na minha opinião, o colocaram no papel de herói daquele filme, mas sua disposição para matar e descartar pessoas (como os influenciadores, cujos destinos não temos certeza no final), e sua disposição de sacrificar outros por sua causa (como ele vestiu Bob com sua roupa para confundir Delores), o torna mais um anti-herói (com sólidas tendências de vilão) do que um herói.

O fato de ele ser um anti-herói imprevisível (ou vilão complexo, totalmente válido também), e ainda assim nunca prejudicar aqueles que ele realmente ama, como Lydia e agora sua família, faz parte do grande e adorável apelo de Betelgeuse atualmente. 💜 Não esqueçamos que ele poderia facilmente ter forçado Lydia a se casar com ele naquela igreja, apesar da violação do código, como o demônio imensamente poderoso que ele é, e ainda assim, ele deixou que ela o banisse. Ele também poderia ter forçado ela em algum momento, mas sempre a respeitou (exceto aquela gravidez instantânea haha, mas isso foi uma ilusão, então isso conta? 😅). Ele poderia ter ameaçado Astrid para fazer Lydia aceitar seus termos também, mas Astrid estava sempre segura com ele.

Tl;dr: sim, é totalmente válido vê-lo como um vilão complexo, assim como é válido vê-lo como um anti-herói. O importante é que todo esse poder francamente aterrorizante que ele possui está literalmente na palma das mãos de Lydia Deetz, e nós o amamos por isso.
