random kisses w/ the haikyuu!! boys hcs 💋

characters: tsukishima, akaashi, kenma, iwaizumi & noya

thank you to anon for the amazing request :3

IWAIZUMI & KENMA’S ARE AGED UP

tw// swearing, sexual references, mentions of kinks, mentions of choking

Kei Tsukishima

tsukishima was always very hesitant to kiss and hug tbh

the only thing he did freely without overthinking was hold your hand but even then, he’d immediately pull away if he thought his palm was getting the slightest bit sweaty (from his nerves)

also, he’d get really tense when ever he saw you lean in for a kiss bc he was always afraid that he’d mess up something

like what happens if he sneezes exactly when you’re about to connect lips?- he’d die, that’s what would happen.

anyway, when you first began surprising him by placing kisses on either the back of his hand or the nape of his neck, he’d become a blushing , irritated mess

like, he thought it was so cute and sweet so of course he’d blush but then he’d get mad bc..you made him blush! how embarrassing for him, tsk.

but although he’d be annoyed and hiss things like ‘you’re so weird’ or ‘that’s simp behaviour’ he would never tell you to stop bc deep down he knows that he enjoys it lol

and surprisingly, he wasn’t in denial about it at first either

like mans isn’t stupid

obviously he liked it, why else would he blush?

since he was aware that he liked your lil’ random kisses, he began to pretend to be invested in activity bc he realised that if you thought he was preoccupied with something important/stressful, you’d be more likely to give his neck a lil’ peck

for instance, if he’s just on his phone or whatever then you text him saying that you’re coming over, he immediately rush to gather his backpack and bring out his notes so he can sit at his desk to look like he’s studying lmao

then you walk in like ‘awh bb you’re always working so hard 🥺 kithes’

and he’s just got the most cunning smirk on his face which he’s trying his very best hide to conceal

then you gave him a kiss on the cheek and he was just like ‘gotcha bitch ( •̀ ω •́ )✧’

anyway, when he’s just deadass being lazy he can still tell when you’re about to kiss him bc he’s very observant etc etc

(also bc you always have a cheesy grin on your face before you kiss him lol)

so after a few years of dating, they become less of ‘random kisses’ and more like just regular kisses for tsukki but he always tries to act like it’s surprising

whether that be jumping slightly whenever you peck the back of his neck or inhaling sharply as you pressed a sudden kiss to his forehead

it’s just bc he loves to hear your giggles at his reaction 🥺 he thinks it’s so cute

Keiji Akaashi

this all began when he was lying on the couch, reading a book while looking absolutely scrumptious so you just had to give him a lil’ peck on the forehead and he’s been addicted ever since

he especially likes it when you sneak up behind him, wrap him in a hug then plant a kiss on the nape of his neck - he thinks it’s so cute and he always cuddles your arms to his chest so you don’t let go

OMG AND YOU DID IT AT SCHOOL ONCE AT THE END OF PRACTISE, IN FRONT OF ALL HIS TEAMMATES AND HE JUST- MALFUNTIONED FJBFVBGRAFD

deadass he just stood like a statue while you cuddled up behind him, his mouth slightly agape and his eyes wide

bokuto thought it was adorable and was like ‘awwwhhh!! #couplegoals!! 💖💕🥰’

(yes he does say the hashtag aloud)

while the rest of the team are wondering if akaashi is okay. i mean, mans looking pretty stiff

but dw he’s not dead y’all, he’s just ascended 👼

like seriously he loves it so much

sometimes he tries to give you random kisses by just grabbing your face while you’re doing something and lean in to place his lips upon yours but he always gets distract by how gorgeous you are, so he’ll spend a little too long admiring your face which will lead to you having to awkwardly muttering something along the lines of

‘i love you too, akaashi. but, erm, my toast is burning.’

Hajime Iwaizumi

iwaizumi already did something kinda similar to random kisses but not really yk?

like whenever he saw you really invested in an activity that you didn’t like doing (cleaning, laundry, studying, chores etc) he’d plant a firm kiss on your cheek which would end up trailing across your face, to your lips - just to boost your spirits lol :)

but they weren’t really surprising or ‘random’ bc he would always announce something to grab your attention before kissing you, like ‘babe’ or ‘wow’

also, imo ‘random kisses’ gives off a ‘sweet lil’ smooch’ sorta vibe but the kisses he gives you are far from ‘smooches’

like they are unintentionally sensual as hell

and he doesn’t even realise how erotic they are so he just suddenly pulls away to leave you with your chores ✋😔

anyway, you first gave him a surprise kiss while he was cooking dinner and whispered something jokingly in his ear along the lines of ‘woah, husband material.’

damn, if iwa knew that all he had to do for some kithes was be a hubby then he would’ve done that sooner like geez 😳

istg after that day iwaizumi would be in full maid-mode whenever you were in the house (bc he apparently doesn’t know the difference between the duties of a maid and a ‘husband’ lol)

‘yes i do the cooking, yes i do the cleaning’ - nicki manaj, hey mama -iwazumi hajime after being told that’s he’s husband material

so know you feel obliged to give him kisses and praise him whenever you see him doing chores/cooking/gardening bc you know he’s only doing that to please you lmao

so you just give the man what he wants i mean, he’s trying so hard

and he puts in so much effort to make sure he looks hot while doing it

like if he’s cleaning the bathroom room, he’ll oil himself and get out the Mr Muscle spray to make sure that his chest is shinier than the bathroom tiles

then you’ll kiss his forehead and tell him how he’s doing a great job blah blah blah

honestly, the kisses are hardly ‘random’ anymore since iwaizumi sets up a whole scene just to get you to peck his cheek but whatever

anyway, you helped him realise that he had a domestic and servitude kink

and for that, he’s forever grateful 🥰

Kenma Kuzome

pov: you’re sad so you play stardew valley and your s/o notices and they pounce on you with their love and affection 🥺

and you cry bc you love them so much but you’re not good at expressing it 😔✌

- ok, end of pov -

that was kenma’s pov btw ^

but like seriously, it’s his absolute favourite when you give him kisses while he’s playing video games

and you always give exactly the right quantity - it’s like you can read his mind or something

like, if he’s in a the climax of a round of any first-person shoot/rpg and you happen to walk by, you’ll just place a brief yet caring kiss on the side of his head then leave him alone

or if he’s on stream and you walk into the room - but don’t wanna be on camera - you’ll blow him kisses and he’ll smile like an idiot then discretely blow one back

then his chat is like ‘omg he can smile?’, ‘why is he smiling?’ ,‘is he sending air kisses? SIMP!!!’

but when he’s down, blaring lo-fi music from his cat speakers and playing animal crossing, nintendogs, stardew valley or tomodachi life (etc), you’ll shower him with all your cuddles and kisses

ngl tho, when you scuttle up to him while he’s playing any game and press a lil’ kiss on his ear as you absently rub his shoulders, he literally melts

he just kinda sits there and stares at the screen but not even a fraction of his mind is dedicated on the game, it’s all just ‘(y/n). i love them so much. i hope they know that. wow, i got so lucky, i hope they never leave me. (y/n), if only you could read my mind.’

and to show that he likes it, he purrs!!!

not voluntarily, it kinda just escaped his mouth the first time you were giving him a massage and since you insisted that it was the cutest thing you’ve ever heard, he continues to do it - but v quietly

but- there is one thing he likes more than random kisses

and that is random cuddles

or random lapping-sitting yESSS

he is a simp so if you’re feeling needy or whateva and sit on his lap while he’s playing, he’ll literally just quit tbh-

that’s one of the only times he’ll not use the excuse ‘i’ll do it when this round ends’ so use it wisely and sparingly

but that’s only if you sit facing towards him bc he realised that if you sit like that, he’ll get some cooch

but otherwise, if you just sit on his lap for the sake of sitting on his lap, he’ll either jokingly push you off or continue playing his game by looking over your shoulder

Yū Nishinoya

you stole it from him lol

he’s the OG random kisser ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

let’s recall how on your first date with him, you were worrying that he might’ve stood you up as you waited on the picnic blanket for him to arrive and then he jumped out from one of the hedges and attacked you with kisses

like mans got a lot of energy so i can just imagine him attacking you with affection whenever he is bored

and he does it regardless of what you are doing at the time

studying? kiss attack.

cleaning? tickle attack.

sleeping? cuddle attack.

hotel? trivago

he goes into that shit with a strategy too like ‘if i kiss them on the neck first they’ll move their head and arm which will give me access to their chest so then i’ll plant a kiss there too and depending on whether the jerk to the left or right i can then go in for a kiss on their n--’ etc etc

so imagine how hyped he is when you sneak up behind him in the school corridor and peck his cheek

AND IT WAS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS TOO, IT WAS AWESOME

he was so triumphant about it, as if he had just won some sort of award lol

‘yes, i am the coochieman. and what about it?’

then he bought you lunch for ‘being the best s/o ever’ 🥺

but don’t think you’ll ever beat him in the random kissing game bc while he was feeding you the lunch he bought (he does that sometimes, playfully though, whenever he is feeling like a simp) he’ll lean in and steal a lil’ kiss which will lead to you choking on your rice

‘hey babe, plz don’t choke. otherwise i’ll have to give you mouth-to-mouth, ahaha.’

meanwhile, you’re turning red

Reading Bnha 302

Ok, let’s try to dig and find gold.

So here I was, wondering for a whole week who’s gonna be the one to kick little Toyua’s ass. Rei??? Enji? Miraculously summoning his quirk Shouto? I’m putting off my clown wig bc no such scene. Is it a burned sleeve, Enji? Is it the answer I’m seeking? 👀

Um, kids are banned from the privilege to laugh at little Shou-Shou snot bubbles. Sorry, Natsu, Fuyumi, blame your big bro over there.

What caught my eye immediately was that the chapter has a very dark vibe. Enji’s face are hidden in the shadows almost everywhere. Man, it gives you chills, just look at this. Yikes.

Sorry, but let’s stare at this some more

Couldn’t resist. Sleeping with no care in the world, imitating Kageyama Tobio cute scowl. What? Someone tried to kill me? Nah.

Is this ice? Todo had his quirk this early? *Proud mama sobbing*

Anyhow, moving on.

Right in you face! Hero? You? Pfffffft, yeah, k.

Rei is a queen, and her expression here!!!she’s mad and has every right to be mad.

Rei “maybe just pay attention to your son? Pls? Bc ya know, he just attacked our other son and if you run away now, it’ll end bad”. Enji “woman, I have more important stuff to do, I’m a hero. do it yourself”. Again his face is lurking in the dark. Scary.

And we are at the beginning of the circle again. Same scene but now we have two perspectives. Touya’s eyes are so sad... “I want to be on his place, if only I could...” after all this years he still hasn’t given up here. Playing with his siblings is never gonna be enough. If only they could switch places. Again- shadoooooows.

Poor Natsu, he just wants his sleep back. Ugh, go bother Fuyumi, damn it.

The last person Toyua believed would stay by his side, would understand him, would be there for him currently doesn’t give a fuck, bc sleep is important, duh. He’s utterly alone. Can we start crying already? Yeah? Ok.

it’s time for Mom to try too. “Touya, go play with your friends?please?” “No!”

Well he didn’t listen to his father, and he had a great amount of respect for the man. So kinda an obvious outcome. The thing that got me is that from the early age Touya knows the whole shit ton of dirt. A kid. Thinks that he’s just a flawed experiment, and his mom went along with that. Producing kids. For money. I’d go crazy too.

Ok, this is the reason Rei blames herself too. But what she could have done at this point?

Ok. Fuck. After all these years. After being clearly thrown aside. After watching Enji spending all his time with Shouto. HE IS STILL TRYING TO IMPRESS HIM!!! Smiling at him. “Dad pls, just look at me. I’m here too!”

Tears are covering the whole floor now. Damn it, Hori.

But apparently you burning yourself in hopes of getting a spare glance is not enough. Think of the better strategy next time, bro

MY BABY HERO!!!

Like he’s not even scared? Just determined to stop Enji from bullying his mommy. Did I say “my baby hero”already?

Also we see Endeavor again hidden in the darkness. He looks like a scary fairytale monster, waiting to drag you in hell. He’s too far gone, the light can’t reach him anymore.

Fuyumi and Natsu, hugging and crying? They too knew what was happening, navigating in this neglect and screams...how did they manage to grow up and be normal functioning human being again?

And the saddest frame award goes to...

It’s just devastating. Touya sitting alone, crying bc his dad doesn’t care. No matter how hard he tries, no matter now much pain he’s endures, nothing works, and he’s alone. Always alone.

Oh wtf Enji. Stop, or I’m gonna have nightmares!

My favorite frame. Every member of Todoroki family, reflecting, acknowledging where they could face it defferently, how could they save him...

And now they’re finally ready to face it. Together. As a family, standing side by side.

Rei, calling Shouto their family hero? Shouto acting mature, not going solo but sharing his plan, asking advice, considering his family opinions? I’m.. it’s... I’m so proud, I can’t find words to express it, sorry.

MIDORYIA!!!!

One more completed circle. Shouto’s first step to become a hero was saving his mom. And now she’s here, standing tall, telling him “you’re a hero, son” 🥲 and Todo is thankful to Deku for that. For showing him the way out of his resentment and pain. Deku was there in time, while nobody showed up for Touya...

Tododeku stans, how’re you doing? Seeing their precious friendship?

Ok. I need to say it again. Todoroki Shouto is the kindest, most selfless soul alive. Bite me.

He’s here to give Enji a chance to make it right this time. Give him a hand. He was saving ppl from the age of five. I’ll fight every civilian who’ll dare to say shit about him

And after my tears’ve filled my entire room, I see the eavesdropping blonde and I lose it.

Bj, Hawks and Bakugou. Trio blondies eavesdropping brigade. It was part of that internship.

Btw where is Bakugou? It’s time for him to show up and scream some profanities to diffuse the tension.

I was thinking it was Natsu who wanted to treat his baby bro with soba, but here it’s says Touya. Anyhow, anyone will do. Just give that boy his comfort food, he deserves it. I deserve it too after all of this emotional whirlwind of never ending pain.

Now we’ve discovered almost everything, the last question is Touya’s death. I wonder, if it was Ujiko, the doc who spoke with Todo parents about Touya and his quirk, could he pass this info to someone? Or could he help the boy himself to escape?

𝙉𝘾𝙏 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 : 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙙𝙤𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙

@cherry-jaemin ~ Hello! Can I request a dreamies reaction to you being an idol and their best friend? Thank you!! ♡ (◕‿◕✿) ~~~ Thank you so much for your request it was really fun to write, hope you’ll like it!! :)))))

Mark Lee

he cherishes you A LOT (︶ω︶)

but i honestly see him as someone who keeps his private life private

so your close friendship is kept lowkey

but he finds time to spend time with you despite both your busy schedules even if it’s made through your phone screens :(((((

one thing he’s most grateful for is that you understand

you understand what it’s like spending hours in the practice room frustrated, you understand what it’s like constantly missing home, you understand what it’s like working nonstop with no breaks until your body forcefully gives up my heart breaks for him every damn time

you understand him

your friendship is so pure (•ˇ‿ˇ•)

like you can both be laughing your asses off one minute, mark flopping around like a fish on land

and the next one you can be having a therapy session usually consisting of wordless comfort

mark doesn’t seem an emotional person but if there’s one(1) thing that can shatter him is witnessing you on your breaking point

like you were usually the one to check up on him often and pull him away from work for a while before he drowned himself in it

so seeing you overworked and utterly exhausted made him sick

no one could convince him to leave your side for some time (⌯˃̶᷄ ﹏ ˂̶᷄⌯)ﾟ

you clung onto each other and mark softly scolded you for taking more care of him than yourself despite knowing that he’d do the same you’re like his baby he’s allowed to

other than your emotional moments you’re so playful together

‘bruh’ ‘dude’ ‘man’ - your daily vocabulary involving each other -_-

you sometimes gather in a studio and just write lyrics together or help each other with practice bonding time

basically you just vibe together so well and you’re just so grateful for each other’s presence because it eases your hectic and busy lives

you feel like a breath of fresh air to him and vice versa

Huang Renjun

friendship with him is basically clowns clowning each other 🤡

even more so since you can both joke about your shared career

he makes a tradition of reacting to your every m/v god help u he clowns you from the first second to the last

“looking a bit constipated aren’t we, y/n? i guess that hotpot didn’t sit well with you” <(￣︶￣)>

“that’s just my face when i think about u, garden troll”

*huff* *incoherent mumbles of protest*

but he secretly streams THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR M/V and forces the rest of the dreamies to watch it several times too

you watch his radio every evening and sometimes even send in cringy messages just to get a reaction out of renjun lol

so basically you’re super supportive of each other but in your own ways

imagine sleepovers ma friend that’s a wiiild ride

ghost stories, alien conspiracies, crazy theories - THE MAIN MENU

bet y’all renjun can’t sleep without someone he can hold onto after watching or talking about scary things ੧| ‾́ー ‾́ |੭

and you wouldn’t call that cuddling no, it’s more like....strangling....but with love....kinda....yeah that sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

on another note, you made it you personal mission to lift his confidence whenever SM doesn’t treat him right (╬ Ò ‸ Ó) y’all evil cockroaches

and renjun always promotes you subtly during his lives

“ ‘renjun can you give us a song recommendation?’ yeah sure actually there’s this song-” spoiler alert : it’s always one of your songs

one of the biggest secrets in kpop is who drew that *absolutely* gorgeous portrait of you that you proudly showed in your own live

spoiler alert x2 : it’s renjun, it’s always renjun

your friendship is really one of a kind

basically best friends lovingly clowning and supporting each other at the same time precious am i rite

Lee Jeno

jeno seems like a very comforting person to me

like he’s someone you can go and vent to about all the pressure of your career and what not

and he’d just listen to you and hold your hand tightly in his if you’re able to meet face to face, he has his own way of grounding you when everything gets hectic （＾ｖ＾）

he’s a lowkey hypeman

whenever you happen to perform at the same awards show as dream he makes sure to dance and cheer cutely for you o(≧∇≦o)

you won an award?? this man is so proud he hollers louder than your fans well basically he’s your no.1 fan soo :))))))

he always tries to shield you away from hate so it’s one of the reasons he doesn’t disclose much of your closeness lowkey protective jeno

you had an airport accident once common against idols unfortunately

lemme tell ya, jeno went NUTS (｀⌒´メ)

he’s not a confrontational person but he CAN and WILL be when it comes to you

he babies the heck out of you for the next few days :3

and once he has the occasion to turn on vlive he takes a minute to *calmly* explain that while idols love their fans, it’s not fine for fans to invade their privacy and personal space preach sister

you were also close to flipping the sasaengs’s shit up when they kept bothering keno with calls leave the man alone jeez (┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻

he always reminds you to to take care of yourself

“don’t push yourself too hard” “don’t drink too much coffee, you’ve seen what it can do to jaemin and we don’t want that now, do we?”

he often covers your dances ⌒°(❛ᴗ❛)°⌒ and nails them

“jeno you’re dancing better than me on MY OWN SONG”

“idk what you’re talking about” (＾ω＾)

overall your cheerleader and each other’s poorly read not at all paid bodyguards

Lee Haechan

“your sun is here to enlighten your life!!!!!”

“gtfo hyuck”

this man knows no privacy

he’s ruthless and he visits whenever he wants even if it means that’s on a wednesday AT 3 AM (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻

he tells you it’s because your ‘just forcefully woken up’ is the best blackmailing material

in reality it’s because he just misses you A LOT ( ⁍᷄⌢̻⁍᷅ )

this rascal is busy a lot and you’re busy a lot and so every single moment spent with you is so so precious to you both

he gets overwhelmed by this feeling of longing sometimes so he acts on instinct and just barges in wherever you are

but you can also count on him at any time

*middle of the night* *donghyuck sleepily answering his phone* *sniff* *sniff* “hyuck”

“yeah what’s wrong??? who am i beating up???? should i take johnny too???? just say the name cutie (*｀Ω´*)”

you only ended up crying about missing his cuddles

*sigh* “you only love me for my cuddles”

you once told him fleetingly that you missed breakfast and lunch

you found 2 boxes of takeout outside your apartment already paid by a certain someone i need a hyuck pls

he’s also quite vocal about your friendship and randomly mentions you

“y/n told me that i look cutest with my baby belly so unless you wanna pick a fight with them lay off gremlin” ー(￣～￣)ξ

both your dreams are to get to collab on something anything it would be heavenly for hyuck to colllab with anyone tbh

nothing can keep you 2 apart, your duo is just too strong and the world just isn’t ready for you

Na Jaemin

he’s such a warm person

he babies you but just because he wishes you’d have more time to spend with each other ( *’ω’* )

so the only way to quench his worry is texting you daily to make sure you’re alright and taking care of yourself or he’d personally do it

the way he talks about you tho (╯✧∇✧)╯ like you put the stars in the sky you did for him

“y/n is actually quite good at this game, i ate dirt when we played together”

“y/n looks so pretty in those pictures we took together” Σ(*ﾉ´>ω<｡`)ﾉ

“y/n is my favorite model end of story”

talking about his love for photography, you’re his model 80% of the time

his camera roll is filled with pictures of you every time you find enough time in both your busy schedules to meet up

he has enough to open a fanpage if he hasn’t done that already ;)

in turn you’d secretly dedicate parts of the lyrics you wrote to him

i’m telling you he would CRY hearing your sweet voice sing such beautiful words meant for him he would feel so appreciated pls ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )

he always says that he has no other friends other than his members so having you validating the strong bond he feels with you would elevate him to cloud 9 :,(((((

i can imagine you two meeting on a variety show a mess that would be

you can’t be too close in front of the cameras in order not to give the wrong impressions

but behind the scenes you’re not leaving each other’s side, chatting and clinging onto each other the entire time (≡^∇^≡)

and even on screen as long as you’re allowed to you’re attached to the hip, ALWAYS beside each other

in conclusion you’re the besties everyone is envious of and wishes to share such a precious bond with someone ∩(︶▽︶)∩

Zhong Chenle

y’all are basically the ‘you can’t sit with us’ pair -_-

another one who i think would keep your friendship private

like it is public that you two are friends but neither of you shares more about your meetups and so on

but chenle is lowkey highkey whipped

chenji making keychains for the rest of nct? +1 for y/n (/^▽^)/

surprise party for chenle’s birthday? you’re dressed as staff waiting for him to notice you after cameras are turned off he screeched so loud the entire building heard him and then proceeded to cling onto you forever

you know how chenle took jisung to him home in china? he took you with him as often as you both could afford the time to he even rescheduled a few times to make it convenient for you to come along (｡•́︿•̀｡)

he buys all versions of your albums cuz he can

going to each other’s concerts!!!!!

i can imagine you accompanying his family to the dream concert (˃̩̩̥ɷ˂̩̩̥) the same one when jeno and jaemin decided to get nakey nakey yes

you’re texting nonstop istg (◔_◔)

chenle can always be seen texting in the waiting rooms and so on

you’re his source of confidence before concert and certain schedules

also you’re probably discussing your hangout plans :))))

which often ends up in playing basketball in a park at night and then getting bored or tired and just wandering aimlessly around

you secretly record duets together unreleased unfortunately ( ب_ب )

and he teaches you how to play piano

basically your friendship is very playful and you find a comfort place in each other to remind yourselves that you’re allowed to have fun and live your lives o(*>ω<*)o

Park Jisung

i think it took quite a while to befriend him

his shyness can get the best of him sometimes it’s okay bby

but once you got hi to break out of his shell you’ve got yourself a lifelong best friend congrats (ര̀ᴗര́)و ̑̑

he shows his caring nature through small acts

texts you good luck and encourages you before award shows

becomes your dramatic weatherman

literally glitches if you ever have even a *slightly* sexy concept

“how did you like the dance, jisungie?”

“i-uh...um...it was...yeah...it was really uh *coughs* *clears throat* it was NICE, yeah...nice” (๑ּగ⌄ּగ๑)

ofc he *absolutely* loved it, he just respects you and looks up to you too much to make any further commentary

you coach each other through dance routines :3

you never fail to calm down and give confidence to jisung whenever his nerves get in the way

jaemin actually specifically asked you to look after jisung during his hiatus

jisung’s TMI’s sometimes involve you (´ㅂ`๑)

“today’s tmi? i started working on a surprise for you czennies...and i got help from a very talented performer”

the surprise was a dance cover choreographed and performed with you that was the death of your fandoms ੧| ⊗ ▾ ⊗ |୨

you can be considered childhood friends so you understand each other with little to no words spoken

that’s why everyone loves your ‘partners in pure crime’ friendship

do you mind talking about why you dislike Love Actually and Richard Curtis's romcoms? I've seen you mention it in some of your tags and I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Long post, so scroll now, ye who care not.

OK, so like better voices than mine have articulated Why Love Actually Sucks Balls, but you were kind enough to ask for my view, so strap in I’m gonna talk about Jane Eyre, and the 1990’s Fran Drescher sitcom The Nanny also. It’s coming up on western civilisations’ holiday season, so why not, it’s a good time to tell this movie to choke, because it’s about to be repeatedly thrust upon us once again. (Disclaimer: I acknowledge Richard Curtis is responsible for Blackadder and Vicar of Dibley, so whatever else, we’re still cool on that basis. But I have spite and to spare, so there’s plenty to go around).

My main beef is actually the context. Technically, if all of the below bullshit was in an offbeat movie from any other movie market (I’m thinking maybe a French, or Spanish movie from the 90′s boom, Almodovar style?), the focus would probably be a black humour take on ‘Lord What Fools These Mortals Be!’, sort of look at the inherent ridiculousness of mankind, and how we get in our own way, blah blah, might have been cute. I’d buy that. This movie? A british movie for the american market? It’s sold with a big holiday sticker on it saying ‘ROMANCE’, and specifically ‘ADORABLE ASPIRATIONAL ROMANCE THAT YOU SHOULD ADORE AND ASPIRE TO’. Also the context *inside* the movie itself (through a narration voiceover no less) is that all of these narratives is somehow proof that ‘Love, Actually is all around’, and specifically in a good, wholesome, happy way, overall at least. These stories are redeeming, even if they’re not all happy, they’re Good™ or whatever. The context outside the movie is the same: british TV advertising, hard copy packaging, holiday specials, outdoor gala screenings: they all say over and over: THIS IS SQUISHY HOT PINK NEON LOVE, wholesome, healing, and healthy. You should want this, aspire to this, think this is the cat’s pyjamas! It’s a wide and varied look at the beautiful power of love from all angles, comic, tragic, the lot.

Is it fuck. The ‘positive’ romance stories range from Stage-5 Creeper to Crotch Puppet Afterthought, the ‘melancholy’, thwarted romance stories seem to say ‘if you’re a woman who’s not readily/immediately bangable to your allocated straight dude, romance is over for you I’m afraid’. Let’s recap, shall we:

Much has already been said about Andrew Lincoln’s character BLANTANTLY SHARKING ON HIS BEST MATE’S WIFE being uhhh, less than fresh. I don’t even feel like I need to justify this one, it’s so over-the-top. The main point is that movie itself maintains this as a tragic, swoony, thwarted, heart-string-tugging missed connection, rather than The Worst Friend Ever (meaning: it assumes we’ll be 100% onboard with Keira Knightley skipping secretly away from Chiwetel Eijiofor to grant his best mate one treasured kiss, as opposed to saying ‘what the FUCK Mark, why are you telling me this, this is super inappropriate?? and my only wedding video is just you zooming in on my face? Pls get help’.

We all love National Treasure Colin Firth and all, but like is Love, Actually fixating on a woman who literally can’t speak to you? Has said nothing understandable to you? About whose own life you’ve never yet, and could never have asked about? Whose main interactions with you have been to wordlessly clean your room, bring you food, and tidy it away after? Your ideal woman, who you meet immediately following a break up, is one who silently meets all your domestic needs, while making zero emotional or intellectual demands on you whatsoever? WOW, SHOCKER. (Oh but it’s cute or whatever, they have him propose, and there’s a mix up when her sister appears, but she’s Ugly™, so it’s funny that the sister is not getting romance. I mean, how could she, an uggo?? Classic joke. Good times.)

The Prime Minster and his tea lady: more on Curtis’ Domestic Servitude Kink below, whoo boy.

Laura Linney would really really like to sleep with Rodrigo Santoro, and god bless her who wouldn’t, but she is tragically unable to, because she has family commitments as being the sister – not even fulltime carer, just RELATED TO - a brother living with disability. Sorry folks, romance is OFF THE CARDS, FOREVER for Laura here. How can she??? That’s the nature of love, actually. Can you have sex right now this moment? No? Whelp, sorry, thanks for playing, back to the Tragic Assisted Living facility for you. Gosh it’s unfortunate that’s a truth universally acknowledged that any whiff of disability = no romance for you ever. (Don’t start me on 4 Weddings* [edit: *it’s totally Notting Hill, not 4 Weddings, thank] and how that husband is like The Best because he continues to love his wife even though her legs don’t work. What a champ, honestly, do they have an award for that?) I have to stop now before I get sarcasm poisoning, but my eyes will continue to roll.

How could I say anything bad about the Liam Neeson widower and his adorable lovestruck son storyine? Lol, I’m gonna. Have you seen the Buffy episode The Zeppo? Xander is convinced the only way girls (as a concept, not in the specific) will like him enough to sleep with him is if he has A Thing. The Thing is posited as ‘being cool’ by having an object or skill that alone will be the magic bullet to romance. Musical instrument prowess is considered, and he ends up just getting a car to be his Thing. This just seems like a redux of that logic. This kid could get some genuine direction from the movie to get to know this girl, learn her interests and share his, see if she likes him as a person by being A PERSON, but the narrative just backs away from that and eventually DOES just say ‘play the drums in the show, she’ll like you’ and that’s …it. But it’s cool, teenagers don’t learn key interpersonal dynamics at this age or anything, she kisses him for some reason, whatever. (Bonus points for gifting his dad with a literal supermodel as a punchline, after making that an actual joke earlier about the shallow nature of attraction, and love is about filling a one-sided need.)

I could go on, but I have very little to say about Freeman falling for a girl whose tits he’s been holding for a week, the no-homo pop star Nighy plot, or the guy that goes and has sex in Wisconsin with Bond Girls, and can’t be bothered, which leads me to…

Richard Curtis’ Domestic Servitude Kink. Must I kinkshame Richard Curtis in his own home?? Nope, I’m kinkshaming him AT WORK in his narratives, surrounded by his nubile, pliant, adorable female employee characters. Oh Mr Curtis, I seem to have dropped a pencil!

OK, so like a M/F Domestic Servitude romance is an extremely old trope, and extremely common, and I’m not here to tear that up, because done well it’s amazing, lot of petrol in that King Cophetua narrative tank. I’m a fan. The most famous in-context historical example being Jane Eyre, for instance: he’s her boss, she’s his paid subordinate, they’re both 100% aware of that. It’s a great way to explore the real-life class and power dynamics of these 2 train wrecks of human beings, and they vomit their ridiculous drama llama feelings all over a 600 page novel. Super fun, they’re both awful humans, I love them. Mid-century you might have The Sound of Music, and in more modern times you get 1990s sitcom The Nanny, both extremely well-developed romances involving paid employees, and part of their value is that the shows KNOW THIS. They’re aware it’s the basis for their dynamic, that they have to directly play with that, and develop beyond to go anywhere. Watching Fran Fine in her runway-fresh Moschino minidresses jump on Maxwell Sheffield’s desk for the 800th time making him super uncomfortable (and not a little turned on) is always such a treat. It’s right out there on the label. The problem with Love, Actually, is Curtis doesn’t want to admit that naughty secretary seems to be a cornerstone of what gets him going, romantic-stylez.

One (1) time in the movie would be ‘sure, why not’. Literally the highest political office in the land, making overtures to the woman who brings him tea, i guess might be a bit off, but let’s say it’s done well, and maybe Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon’s charisma gets us over the line (his behaviour is cute because her last man didn’t like her body, but the prime minister DOES like her body! so it’s cute!). Whatever, seen worse. Two (2) times however is making a point, and Colin Firth is driving his silent portuguese maid home - not a french maid but so close! - and deciding he’d like her to bring him tea and clean his toilet for as long as they both shall live, and that also seems to be her greatest joy. Ah, l’amour. OK, I guess you like the thing, everyone has a thing, but at least you’re done now. Wait, you mean there’s a third (3rd) one? Everyone’s Fave Alan Rickman drives the plot of his own marriage’s tragic romance because he’s having stiffening feelings about his own Naughty Secretary halloween costume, after all. All the beautiful speeches about Joni Mitchell give Thompson some nice things to do, but it still assumes the Nature of Romance is to want to plough the help. A man can’t help it! It’s how romantic attraction works! Once would be whatever. Three times and there’s a tag on Ao3 for that, so please just scratch that itch and stop selling it to me in a heartwarming christmas movie as the Universal Nature Of Romance, so varied, so vast, the full spectrum! Just 2 hours to tell a story: but 3 whole narratives and 7 actors devoted to the variants on the naughty maid story. My point is be upfront about it and I’d be all for it - pretend it’s not A Thing You’re Doing and my creep-meter goes ping. Steven Shainberg’s ‘Secretary’ has a scene where the boss literally puts a saddle on his employee, and I find it to be one of the most genuinely moving romances I’ve ever seen. Love Actually makes me feel like Curtis is sending me a ‘u up?’ late night text about his secretary fantasy.

Anyway, I fucking hate this film, and not necessarily because of the content, but because of the context. The movie tells me to love it as aspirational romance. My culture tells me to love it as aspirational romance. Everyone tells me to love it as a varied and full exploration of reasons to get up in the morning, because it’s an aspirational romance. It makes me want to claw my own face off.

twd 11x19 thoughts but this time i have 3 episodes to catch up on (spoilers!):

-i saw that this one was called variant so I BETTER be seeing something crazy in the next 40 minutes

-daryl coming to drag eugene out of there aw<3 I feel like we deserve more scenes of them

-something so satisfying about seeing Sebastian dead xoxox

-award for most "done with everything" face goes to rosita I think. Ezekiel and princess in at a close second

-i need a jerry in my life to feed me this positivity all the time (and fettuccine!) AARON STOP RUINING JERRYS POSITIVITY

-i would sign up for an hour of rosita being fed up with everyone, she's just so funny for some reason (have I made it obvious enough yet that she's my girl crush)

-why do I have a feeling that eugene is just gonna turn himself in anyway

-i just know Jerry is thinking "fuck u guys I told u we shouldn't take the wagon off the road"

-pamela stop petting ur sons corpse

-"what's the point of this place if a good man is put to death" might just end up being quote of the episode i think

-aaron talking about Eric bye I am going to cry

-THE WALKER HAND???

-eugene trying to fight daryl is genuinely the funniest thing that has ever happened on this show

-i want eugene to think highly of himself just for once

-oh i honestly forgot lance was still existing

-hes such a pathetic little man I hope he picks the wrong hand so that he dies

-ffs nevermind

-princess is legit gonna make me cry with this story

-also I cheer everytime someone gets to say fuck in this show

-mercer been looking like a lil kicked puppy all episode

-also I'm so invested in this mercer and princess romance which is really saying something because I usually don't care about any twd couples very much but God Angela Kang please let them have a happy ending

-the walker grabbing the stick wtf?????

-jerry is literally slaying though

-u guys don't understand how excited I was to find out they were gonna introduce variant walkers but I so wish they would have done this a lot sooner because they could have done so much with this if they didn't leave it until the last few episodes to do it, like yes pls give me walkers that can open doors and shit that makes them an actual threat

-holy shit it climbed

-okay Lydia and elijah I see u being a couple of cuties

-stop it this eugene and rosita scene is making me emotional and why do I get the feeling this is gonna be the last time they see each other, it better not be

-ALSO WHAT THE FUCK?? WHO IS GOING AFTER ROSITA LEAVE MY GIRL ALONE

-anyway that was a rollercoaster

-also they better not have only included the variant walkers for this one episode and then forget about them, I want more!

its interesting how baahu has a moon pottu and bhalla has a sun pottu. one would think the positions would have been reversed. maybe they wanted to show that baahu was more nurturing and stuff. but like. its sunlight that grows plants? anyways.

NOICE. COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT NO DOUBT.

THERE GOES THE HEAD.

FILM (Bellamy Blake x Reader)

Request: Bellamy and reader request-where bellamy is a celebrity and reader is a soldier in the army and is asked to star in a film with him based on her experiences. They hate eachother at first but start to fall for eachother after their close time together. After the film ends she goes back into the army but gets injured after saving lincoln-her best friend- and bellamy takes care of her at his place and admits how they feel. -really long pls i love this concept x

A/N: I know this is extremely long but it’s worth it (i think) ily

masterlist

Usually you get along with people. You’re an outgoing, laid back, strong-willed woman who sees what she wants and goes and gets it. You served a long amount of year in the United States Army and if you wanted to, you could write millions of pages of your detailed experiences being a soldier.

You meet new people all the time, always smiling and shaking hands while engaging in small talk about your various accomplishments as a woman in a position of power. So yeah, you get along with people. Usually.

When you met Bellamy Blake, you had an open mind. Sure, big time movie stars like him are stereotyped as arrogant, self-obsessed, drunkards but you decided to eradicate that image from your head.

This was a brand new opportunity that had been given to you. You were going to be starring alongside a well-known, award-winning actor about a movie about your life. Well… it wasn’t exactly about your life.

It’s based on your experiences. In reality, throughout your life there was never a manly, saviour, boy who was there to sweep you off your feet. There was always you, your sister hard work, and dedication who was your best friend. There was no man. And good, because you didn’t need one.

However, in Hollywood things work a bit different. And everyone knows that sex sells. So when writing the script and plotting the film, it was decided that if people were going to finally choose a female who saves the day, there needs to be a love interest. Despite your suggestions to make the movie version of you gay, they decided to cast a male instead of a female.

Sure you were bummed out that the opportunity to finally give the LGBT+ community the representation that they need, you guess you were fine with the decision. Plus, they’re not even using your actual name for the character based off you. You think that both girls and guys are great so having either as a love interest didn’t bother you at all.

And you were actually excited to meet Bellamy Blake. Though he wasn’t a girl, he’s a person of colour. He’s of Filipino descent and this representation counts too especially with how times are changing. So, on monday morning it was finally your first day on set. You were scheduled to meet the cast and all the crew behind the screen.

Bellamy was one of the last people you got to meet. Usually you would have to do a few scenes together before they cast him but apparently the casting director believed that the chemistry between the two of you would be fine.

He sees you from afar and he pauses slightly. He knows who you are, the girl he’s going to be working with for the next eight months. For a few seconds, Bellamy just watches you smiling and talking to the director and his assistant.

You sort of light up the room with that smile of yours but Bellamy tears his eyes away. He’s not really sure why he was so hung up on looking at you in the first place, he’s probably just tired from having such a long flight last night.

Bellamy decides to walk up to you, sporting a grin the people around you excuse themselves to set up the first scene being shot today. Looking to you, he smiles, “Hi.” He holds his hand out.

“Hi,” You respond, your hand meeting his. His handshake is firm and strong but for some reason you’ve become nervous around him. “I’m Y/N. It’s nice to meet you.”

Bellamy lets go of your hand, grinning devilishly, “I’m…” He cuts himself off, “Well, you must know who I am.”

You almost scoff at how cocky he sounded. Furrowing your eyebrows slightly, you let out a small chuckle. Maybe he was just joking… Looking down at your feet, you mentally curse yourself for feeling inferior beside him. You’re just nervous, you’ll be fine once you get comfortable around everyone… You hope.

Though he sounded like an asshole the first time you met him, he got worse from then on. You couldn’t seem to grasp how someone could be so stuck up when they have everything in the whole world handed to them because they’re in famous movies alongside Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.

You kept telling yourself it was an act as though maybe he just had an odd sense of humour. But each day you were proven wrong. He really seemed to not appreciate anything.

You’re not sure if it was all in your head, though. A lot of people seem unappreciative of their privileges these days. It might be because you’ve been fighting a war that isn’t televised to the public and now that you’re home in the land of the ‘free’, you realise how many other poverty-stricken humans have been living.

It’s the final month of shooting and you’re up to the climax and ending of the film including a slightly sexual scene that was postponed until the proper lighting was acquired. You were nervous though. It was your first scene with him after the fight you both had. Though you and Bellamy only got along during scenes, when you were all acting, you had learned to not get in his way. And he learned not to get in yours.

It was published online that the two of you had a major argument whilst on set of the film and while that was half true, it wasn’t major… maybe just heated. You can’t fully remember how it initially began but the two of you got into a yelling match while practicing a scene and it escalated quickly.

“Look, babe.” He stated, taking a step towards you. The smell of cologne mixed with liquor filled your nostrils and you wondered if he was seriously drinking on set. What is wrong with this man? You felt pity for him because he honestly seemed like he was going through shit. “I don’t need to memorise the script. Did you know Johnny Depp has his lines read to him through an earpiece?”

“Last time I checked, you’re not Johnny Depp.” You replied, fighting the urge to list all the qualities Bellamy has that Johnny doesn’t. “Wouldn’t you rather do this through hard work, not an earpiece?”

Leaning against your trailer, Bellamy looked off to the distance as if you hadn’t said anything at all. But then he spoke up as he looked you up and down, “You don’t get it. You’re not even a real actor.”

“And you’re not a real soldier but look at where you are - on set, pretending to be one.” You fired back, furrowing your eyebrows.

Bellamy looked like he didn’t want to be there at that moment. He looked as though he’d rather be literally anywhere else, like the ground could swallow him whole and he wouldn’t even care. “Whatever, Princess. Let’s just get this movie done with so I can never see you again.”

“Wow,” You rolled your eyes, looking Bellamy up and down, “You really don’t care about being in this film, do you?”

With a harsh look, he moved from his position resting against the metal of your trailer and he walked towards you. “I don’t care about anything.”

“Clearly.” You scoffed. “You practically get given roles right? And what’s more, drunk on set, arrogant asshole, what’s next? Doing a line in the communal bathrooms? I mean you fit into the stereotype of a movie star pretty well!”

This seemed to get Bellamy angered. For once, off screen, his features were displaying something other than discontentment. “You fit into the stereotype of a power-driven whore.” He spat, making your eyes widen with shock and anger, “Your movie isn’t even about you! In real life, no one wants to be anywhere near you. You’re alone and unwanted.” He forced a laugh.

You looked at him, wondering what could be weighing him down so much that he’s willing to insult you like this. You knew the two of you were not close but you assumed there would be a level of respect. Though you kind of crossed the line with what you said too…

“Shut up.” You shook your head. He continued, getting in your personal space. He knew his words were getting to you so he kept going, hoping they stung bad.

“No one would want to watch a stupid, boring film about some girly soldier unless a male, like me, is in it.”

“What the hell’s wrong with you?!” You shouted, pushing him back by his shoulders.

Both your chests were heaving as you stared each other down. He was silent. He said nothing. For some reason you could tell he didn’t mean his words. He looked ashamed at himself, as though he had to force the sentences out from his lips to even be able to say them.

In reality, he didn’t mean anything he said but he could tell you see through his facade so he wanted to hurt you in order to push you away. Because Bellamy didn’t think of himself like how the world thinks of him. He never has.

He’s never looked in the mirror and viewed himself as Bellamy Blake, academy award winning movie star. He’s just seen himself as Bell, the boy from a small town. The boy who has a little sister he would die and kill for, who he loves more than anything. The boy who only took up acting because he got kicked out of his year 12 drama class but he was the only one who truly enjoyed it. Bell - and only Bell - was who he truly was.

And now, you had to face each other. On set. With minimal clothing. During a sex scene. It angered you. Immensely. But like you stated earlier, sex sells.

You sit in hair and makeup, your leg bouncing up and down furiously. To say that you’re nervous is an understatement. You had never been insulted more by anyone in the world and now, you had to act like you were in love with him.

You had to kiss him, run your hands through his hair, moan as if you enjoyed it. Sure, it’s just a scene for a film but it was so much more in your head. For Bellamy, it was too.

He walks into the hair and makeup trailer, ready to get his hair done for the shoot as his stage makeup has already been applied. He immediately stands still when he sees you sitting there getting your lipstick done. Deep down he wanted to just sit there in awe watching you because for Bellamy, he had never met anyone more beautiful.

And what’s more is that you’re headstrong. Beautifully headstrong and intelligent about so many things. You not only have been awarded various medals for your courage, bravery, and high ranks - that’s right, before even meeting you Bellamy did a tonne of google searches about you.

He wanted to be 100% prepared. He knew this movie was not only literally making history but making film history. You’re the first female army soldier that is starring in their own film and it’s already huge to the public, he can only imagine what’ll happen when it’s released and everyone loves you - like he know they will.

Bellamy sits down as the hairdresser Chris begins to style his hair and Rachel finishes your makeup. Bell can feel the tension of the cold room cut his throat open and he is silent. His senses overcome him all at once and he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to sit there next to you without saying a word.

Then, the awaited call makes his stomach drop. “Five minutes until we start shooting!”

Bellamy nods and you force a smile at the assistant director, who quickly leaves the trailer to head back to the set. Your eyes meet Bellamy’s for a split second before you look back to the mirror. An odd feeling makes it’s way to your chest and you’re suddenly not sure if you can do this anymore.

Chris and Rachel are done with your makeup, proclaiming that the two of you look amazing and that it’s time to leave. Thanking them, you walk alongside Bellamy in silence as you make your way onto the set.

“Y/N.” He states, looking to you before you walk in, “About yester-”

“-I don’t want to think about it.” You interrupt him, not even looking up because you can feel his eyes just watching you, admiring you, and wishing you would let him apologise. “Let’s just get this done.” Is all you mutter before walking away.

He’s left there, out of breathe, extremely nervous, unlike anything he’s ever felt before. The words he used to hurt you echo through his ears, not letting him feel even a moments peace. Bellamy trails after you, his fingers clutching the end of his costume sleeves.

You stand in front of the director, mentally going over your lines as he speaks to you. Your ears seem to drone him out as Bellamy walks in, looking down at his feet as you watch him secretly. Nodding to the director, he leads you into the hallway set before leaving you to walk to your male counterpart.

The sounds of people around you resemble a droning noise. Your brain refuses to make sense of anything, you’re too nervous. You’ve been into battle, saving peoples lives, you fight for freedom, yet this stupid scene scares you?

Pull yourself together. You think to yourself, breathing steadily now. Everyone is in their place and Bellamy walks over to you, swallowing his feelings as he gets in character. Before the call of ‘Action!’ brings you to life, your eyes are closed.

Walking to your mark, Bellamy pulls you back - or should you say, his character pulls you back. “You can’t go back.” He warns, eyes wide as he steps closer to you.

“I have to.” You shrug, looking down as you pull your arm away gently. You turn to your apartment. “Just go home. Don’t make this harder than it already is.” You unlock the door, ignoring the camera that pans along as you step in.

Bellamy gives you a pleading look, feeling his heart sink as your eyes meet. “Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” He begs, his eyes glossing over with tears as he inches towards you. He feels the need to touch you during this scene to establish the characters closeness but he can’t seem to move closer to you.

“Cut!” The director yells, making you jump slightly. Bellamy sighs as he walks up to the two of you, “You’re doing great but Bellamy, your character Jake is trying everything he can to make her stay. We’ll go from your last line and I want to see more closeness!” He says, giving you each encouraging smiles. “Action!”

Bellamy gives you a look again, stepping closer to you as he says his line. “Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” He begs, his endearing eyes grazing your lips as he moves closer. Placing a hand on your cheek, Bellamy feels his heart stop and you feel breathless. “Please.”

You furrow your eyebrows, feeling tears burning your eyes thanks. You never thought you’d be able to cry on cue. Placing your hand on his, you squeeze it gently before bringing it down, saying your line. “I made a promise when I started to always be there when they need me.”

“I need you!” Bellamy shouts, stepping away in vehemence. He paces angrily, slamming the door shut which makes you jump. He turns back to you, giving you a look that could change your mind about him. Bellamy seems so caring. “Y/N… I-” A laugh is heard from off screen and Bellamy realises what he’s said. You chuckle, looking down at your feet as Bellamy blushes. “Sorry…”

“Keep rolling.” The director laughs, giving you a few minutes to get back into character. You take a breath, looking back up at Bellamy as he paces restlessly.

“Your/Characters/Name,” He says instead of your name. He bounces from one foot to another and you await his line, wondering what he’ll sound like saying it. “I love you.”

“Don’t.” You turn away, your heart beating loudly.

“Don’t what?” Bellamy replies, angrily. You stay silent, letting your thoughts consume you as your character would. “Don’t what?” Bellamy asks once more, his voice louder.

“Don’t say that!” You shout back, turning to him to look him in the eyes as you walk up to him. “Don’t tell me you love me. You can’t do that to me.”

“I love you.” He replies, without a pause as he walks closer to you. “I love you, Y/C/N.”

“Jake…”

It’s happening. Bellamys hands are on you. One on your cheek and the other, off screen, on your waist as he gets closer to you. “I love you.” He repeats, his voice now in a whisper.

Your eyes flutter as you look at him from up close. Only a second was spent admiring him from this close but it felt like an eternity. The way his eyelashes rest on his tan, freckled cheeks as his eyes drift over your eyes to your lips. His thick lips so close to your face.

It’s quiet on set, everyone is watching and entirely immersed in the scene. “I’m being deployed tomorrow.” You shake your head, giving him a sad, hopeless look.

“I still love you.” He shrugs, leaning forward as his chest heaves up and down. Bellamy feels your breathe on his lips and he gulps his nerves down. “I always will. And I know you love me too.”

“You’re making this difficult.”

“Good.” He replies, blinking as you both stare into each others eyes. You feel like you’re only looking at Bellamy, not Jake. Almost like it’s really Bellamy there, telling you he loves you. But you know it’s dumb. “Say it.”

You bite your lip slightly, opening your mouth slightly. “You can’t make me.”

His expression is neutral, waiting and watching for your lips to move into the words he wants to hear. “Say it.” Bellamy begs.

You pause, knowing your director would want a big lead up to the kiss. With a deep breathe, you feel Bellamy’s nose brushing against yours. “I love you.” You mumble.

In an instant, Bellamys lips are on yours and you lose control of your whole body. You feel limp - numb, almost. As if you’re not really there at all even though you can fully feel his lips on yours and the tips of his fingers pressing against your hips.

Your eyes are closed as you move your lips against his. Even though the kiss is staged, you can’t help but feel like it means more. It’s probably all in your head. You pull back, your face painted with shock as you look at Bellamy.

Not a word is shared as he leans in towards your neck and you wrap your arms around him, a hand entwined in his curly hair. He leaves open-mouthed kisses onto your warm skin, closing his eyes the entire time as his chest aches just being this close to you.

Bellamy trails his hands over your shirt, pulling back to remove it along with your confidence and oxygen. The camera man quickly moves slightly behind you to film Bellamy leaning down as he pulls your pants down. Bellamy’s hands trail down your back for the mid-shot camera angle and he then lifts you up to wrap your legs around his waist.

“Alright, cut!” The director yells, leaving you in reality with your legs wrapped around Bellamy Blake. He doesn’t let you go, he just keeps his eyes on you though he pulls back slightly. You assume he knows what he’s doing, being a professional and all.

It’s a closed set, so only the director and his assistant are in the room during this scene. He moves around different lighting stands, getting better high key lighting for when you and Bellamy are on the bed together.

Noticing your nervous glances, Bellamy smiles softly - not looking at your exposed body once, you note. “You’re doing great.” He mutters quietly to you, making you turn your head to look down at him.

“Thank you.” You nod, the hint of a small smile on your lips.

The director yells action and that’s when Bellamy carries you over to the bed. He sets you down gently, as if you’re a porcelain doll, and you lay down as he hovers over you. He stretches his arms to pull his shirt off and you can’t help but watch him looking down at you the whole time.

He takes his pants off too, leaving him in boxers as you lay there in your matching set of lingerie given to you by the costume department. But you know that what you’re wearing won’t last because Bellamy’s hands trace your hips gently, slightly pulling down the black underwear to reveal the skin coloured underwear underneath.

In post production, they’ll edit it out so that it appears to just be nothing but your skin. You’re so nervous so you just focus on him. The lights frame his face perfectly, mesmerising you as Bellamy places his lips on yours, kissing you passionately as one hand rests on your hip bone.

Placing your hands on his lower abs, you close your eyes and kiss him back which internally makes Bellamy go wild. He pulls back with his eyes slightly wide, loving the safe feeling of your warm hands touching him. “You’re so beautiful.” He admits, improvising the line but meaning it.

It leaves you slightly shocked but you go along with it. “Just kiss me.” You reply, leaning up to meet his lips fervently.

Going along with what the director is telling you, Bellamy hesitates before leaning back and pulling the covers over both of you. On instruction, you wrap your arms around him so they rest on his back and Bellamy holds himself up by leaning his elbows beside either side of your face.

Another loud cut is yelled from the director and you wonder how long it’ll be before he gives you a full blown headache. Handing Bellamy a tan coloured pair of pants, you have time to lay there and recollect your breath. Once he’s done putting the pants on for the awkward thrusting scene, he goes back to hovering over you.

One of your bare legs is between his as he begins to move his hips back and forth slowly. You know you’re supposed to be… you know, doing it… but you can’t focus so you just close your eyes. Act. All you have to do is act, Y/N.

Bellamy leans down next to your ear, letting his lips brush against you with every movement of his hips. “Relax.” He whispers, his tone calming you immensely, “Just breathe, I’m right here.”

You furrow your eyebrows, nodding slightly as he presses a gentle kiss to your collarbone just like the shot list orders him to. Bellamy lets out a quiet groan and for some reason it actually makes you feel more comfortable. You make your breathe louder, screwing your eyes shut as you act in the moment.

Leaning back down to whisper to you, Bellamy quickens his hip pace. “Come.” He tells you, shocking you but almost motivating you. He knows exactly how he’s making you feel with is words. And thanks to him, you know exactly what to do.

Your nails dig into Bellamy’s back for a few seconds, trailing down his back as he lets out a loud hum. As you fake your high, you lean your neck back and dig your head into the pillow, opening your mouth as you let out a small moan. You don’t want to go all out because you know they’re just going to put music over this entire scene anyways.

Bellamy watches you, enticed by the way you’re looking at him with a small, open-mouthed smile. With one last thrust, he furrows his eyebrows and tenses his abs, knowing exactly what he’d doing. With a final close up shot of his hand clutching the covers, you’re finally done with the pysical part.

Now, all you have to do is lay down with Bellamy to fake the morning after part. Robes are handed to both of you as Bellamy shifts over and sits on the bed. You stand as Rachel from hair and makeup walks over to you with a smile.

You walk to the dressing room and she’s extremely nice as she helps you place on this odd material over your breasts and hoo-ha so that it looks like you’re naked but you’re actually not. Hollywood films are crazy genius.

Clutching your robe tightly as you walk back to set, Rachel leaves you when you walk in to see Bellamy chatting to the director. Hopefully it’s all positive things. Sighing with a nervous smile, he tells you where to lay down and you only take your robe off when you’re next to Bellamy. You lay down and close your eyes.

Placing the covers over the bottom half of your chest, it flows down to just cover your private parts and even though the material you’re wearing covers you very well you can’t help but feel extremely awkward when Bellamy has to place a hand over your waist. His hand grazes along your upper thigh, carrying the white sheet in his hands as he presses his chest against your back.

When his arm rests against your waist, spooning you from behind, you feel … safe. The nerves and awkwardness has been eradicated from your chest and you feel as though you could actually fall asleep. But then, cut it yelled and that’s a wrap.

After this long and often tiring journey, the film is finally done being shot. Now, it’ll go into post-production and soon it’ll be shown in every cinema around the world. But first, there’ll be a premier where you’ll have to sit next to your co-star, suffer through various interviews, and be asked questions you don’t know how to answer. But that’s not something you can be thinking about right now.

You sit in the vehicle patiently, the wheels bouncing against the rocky, unstable ground. There have been reports of bomb-threats around your base camp so you, your good friend and fellow soldier, Lincoln have been sent to investigate.

In the country that you’re in, this was so surprise. There were often threats of this kind placed amongst your army camp but most go without anything even happening. But this time, no one expected it. You had walked out with your best friend, armour and guns in hand. But it didn’t help.

Before you could even comprehend what was going on, you saw the red flashing lights so you push Lincoln back behind the small lookout house. You, however, didn’t have time to get there quickly and upon impact of the bomb going off, you fell to the ground. And that’s all you remember before you passed out.

You wonder if it was a nightmare but when you move your arm you’re met with the painful realisation that it wasn’t. It happened. Quickly fluttering your eyes open, you feel pain shoot through your entire body as you wake up and try to sit up.

A doctor warns you to stay laying down but her voice sounds drowned out, like it’s a million miles away coming from every direction. “Lincoln.” You mumble, feeling the doctor’s hands push you back down gently. You furrow your eyebrows, closing your eyes as you feel dizzy. “How’s Lincoln?”

A reply along the lines of, ‘He’s fine, stay still’ makes you feel slightly at ease. When you open your eyes again, everything is different. Everyone has disappeared and silence surrounds you. The room is bright white as you look up at the clean ceiling.

Turning your head, you blink slowly to see the figures behind the glass door. It’s your mum and dad standing there, calmly talking to the doctor. Next, your eyes drift to the seat next to yours. “Bellamy?” You croak, making the tan boy jump awake.

He looks to you immediately, standing up and placing a hand on your cheek. “Y/N. Fuck. Thank god you’re okay.” Bell breathes heavily, looking into your eyes with utmost concern.

“W-What day is it?” You wonder, urgently eager to know if you’ve been out for long. Your parents walk away from the door with the doctor, not realising you’re awake yet.

“Wednesday.” He replies, taking his hand off you. Two days. You’ve been here for two days. “Do you need anything? I’ll get Dr.-”

“No, I’m fine.” You shake your head slightly, leaning your head back onto the pillow with a quiet breathe. You can feel his gaze still on you, anxiety radiating off of him. “Really, Bell. I’m good.”

His chest sinks when he hears you use his nickname that only few people know. There’s a pause as he sits beside you on the free space on the bed. “I need to tell you something and this time please don’t shut me up.”

“Well, it’s not like I can run away from you.” You shrug, smiling slightly as he chuckles.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Bellamy looks down as his fingertips rub his bottom lip. “I haven’t stopped thinking about that fight we had. I honestly can’t believe I said that to you, that wasn’t me.” He shakes his head, looking up at you with glossy eyes. “You’re none of the things I called you. You’re intelligent. And brave. You take risks every day and it’s an honour just to be cast alongside you.”

“I know, I for-”

“I’m not done. You’re a beautiful, headstrong woman and anyone who has you in their life is extremely blessed.” He vents, feeling out of breath, “I think that you can sort of see through me and not many people can. I’m not some big, stupid, actor who only cares about being a celebrity and looking good on camera because I’m not that person. I’m not that… stereotype.” He quickly rants, feeling the hot tears burning his eyes slightly, “And I never will be. I’m just a boy from a small town who’s insanely lucky to even be sitting here talking to you.”

“i forgive you. And I’m sorry too.” You tell him, reaching your hand out and he holds yours.

His chest rises and falls slowly as he calms down slightly. “You have nothing to apologise for.”

“I do.” You oppose him, sitting up to be closer to him. “I know how the world sees you and I know that it must be really hard on you with all the pressure to fit into how everyone expects you to be.”

Bellamy pauses. He never knew someone could understand him so perfectly. “Y/N.” He states, randomly changing the subject. “Do you… want to have dinner with me?”

You smile, letting out a small laugh that he admires. “Right now?”

“Right now.” He replies, squeezing your hand in his. The clock on the wall reads 11:35 pm but he doesn’t care.

“It’s lunch time.” You laugh, smiling at him with admiration. You finally get the feeling that this is Bellamy, the real Bellamy.

He shrugs, “Okay. Dinner-lunch then. I heard the food here is to die for.” He jokes, making you stifle a laugh at his terribly inappropriate joke.

“I don’t know…” You mumble unsurely, “Will we need a reservation if it’s too fancy?”

He plays along, smirking down at you. “I’m Bellamy Blake.” He scoffs, acting all high and mighty, making you roll your eyes. He laughs cutely, the side of his eyes crinkling, “So?” He smiles hopefully.

“I would love to have dinner-lunch with you.” You smile, placing a hand on his cheek as a sign of endearment. “But first, I think I should talk to my parents.”

His eyes widen as he nods, making you laugh. “I’ll go get them.” He tells you, standing up with a smile. Before he leaves, Bellamy turns back around to you and asks you a question. “Can I give you a kiss?”

Your heart beats so quick that you wonder if the monitor will start screaming it’s head off. “Yes.” You smile childishly as you both lean forward together.

When your lips meet, it feels completely new. Despite the staged kisses the two of you shared, this one feels different. It’s slow and caring and you feel as though you’re in heaven. You’re completely, utterly happy as your lips move together.

GOT7 & BTS: When they catch their GF dancing with her manager during an award show

I promised I’d be back mwahaha! I’m so sorry for being gone for so long TT__TT School is finally done! I’m slowly working on the request I’ve been given! So tadah! Here is the first request! Thank you soooo much Nonnie for being patient with my lazy sloth-snail ass! I hope you like it!

Hai lovely!! Can you pls do a bts & got7 reaction to their gf or crush(your choice) they are at an award show and they are dancing with their (girl's) manager, enjoying the music and having fun. Like she is close with her manager, not in a flirty way

Jaebum:

Okay Mr. Old Man leader here would be a little miffed. He knew that you and your manager weren’t in that sort of relationship and the care that the two of you felt for each other was purely platonic. That wouldn’t stop him from being annoyed that you were dancing with your manager instead of him. Afterall he was your boyfriend…though it was a secret. He is very sensitive when it comes to relationships (ever since he got harshly rejected in his school days) so he would be protective of you. Sometimes too much for your liking. He would slowly mosey his way towards you, but he wouldn’t join you in dancing but gently smile at you as you danced away. He loved you, trusted you, and because of that he would always be protective of you.

Jinyoung:

Would be smiling at the scene of you dancing away with your manager. But don’t get that smile one it wasn’t a pleased one. You could tell immediately from that smile that he wasn’t too pleased, but it was award show and you were having the time of your life so you didn’t pay much heed. Problem was Jinyoung was like a calm before the storm. First the sweet innocent smile and then the sassy savagery. He would immediately come beside you and pull you into a tight hug, interrupting your dancing. Your manager would get the message and politely bow to Jinyoung before dancing away elsewhere. You would look up at Jinyoung with that look of ‘what the hell’ and he would simply return that look by resting his chin on the top of your head. Mentioning that instead of dancing the night away with your manager, you should spend time with someone special. Like your boyfriend.

Mark:

Mark would be absolutely fine with you dancing with your manager. He would even find it entertaining when you two would start pulling out funny dances. It was an award show and your group had won rookie of the year, it wasn’t too surprising that you be dancing away. He would smile at you and playfully throw in a sassy remark here and there. This would only incite you to make funny faces back at him, making your manager join in your fun. Cue Mark’s signature laughter. He would just laugh his butt off before lazily clinging to you and making your arms moving in a funny fashion like a little puppet. His cute little puppet.

Jackson:

Jackson is a emotional, playful, hyper bunny. More than likely him and your manager were homies and he would pay no heed that you were dancing with your manager. He knew the extent of your relationship with your manager. Purely platonic (Jackson made sure of it). It was an award show and everyone was hyped on vibes and excitement so Jackson would immediately join your dance group and dance away with you and your manager. All three of you would start bursting out into laughter when you all started busting out silly dance moves like the lawn mower or the egyptian. As you were getting tired, Jackson would wrap his arms around you and the two of you would simply sway back and forth, your manager not minding the affection (he was used to it).

Youngjae:

He would be a playfully jealous, shouting out in his beautiful voice as to why you weren’t dancing with him. You jokingly teased him and continued dancing away with your manager. You would gesture for him to come over and you would grab his hands. Your manager politely bowed, knowing that you two were in a relationship and would probably want to be alone. Youngjae would flash you that lovely smile of his as you playfully swing his hands up and down. He was so happy that your group had won the rookie of the year award so he didn’t even mind that you were basically making him dance like an octopus. He would just smile brightly and lean in and give you small eskimo kisses.

BamBam:

100% gonna join you in dancing with your manager. Bambam is a sociable butterfly and would get along with your manager since the time the two of you got together. The moment he saw you dancing with your manager he would go over there and join you two. Especially if it is a girl group song. Cue girl group dance off. The two of you would laugh your butt off as your manly manager would be pulling off cute, sexy dance moves. It was definitely a sight to see. An even better sight, Bambam going full Dance Mom’s mode and start teaching your manager how to properly pull off girl group moves. You would immediately record this whole scenarios so that you can show Bambam later while you guys snuggled.

Yugyeom:

Okay, so this cocky kid would immediately come over to you and your manager as the two of you were dancing. Your manager was actually a pretty good dancer so you had fun dancing with him during the award show, but Yugyeom being young he would be pretty miffed that you were so impressed by your manager’s move. So of course, Mr. I Won Hit the Stage, and begin showing off his moves. At first you didn’t mind, proud at how amazing of a dancer your boyfriend was. That is, until your manager and him began having a dance off. You sighed before playfully sitting back and watching this competition go down. You had your money Yugyeom.

Rapmon:

Nonchalant about the entire situation. The whole atmosphere was so hyped and there was a buzz in the air, of course he’d expect you to be having a blast, dancing the night away with your group members and manager. He would flash you a little smirk and wink when the two of you made eye contact. You were a grown woman and you could make your own decision in life. He knew that your manager and you weren’t in any sort of relationship and if he even suspected some sort of feelings sparking you can bet he would shut that down.

Suga:

Would really not give a shit. Like you were an adult and can make your own decisions so it didn’t matter to him if you were dancing with your manager. Suga wasn’t really much of the dancing type so he wouldn’t be bothered that you found another dancing partner. He knew the two of of you only had a professional relationship. That being said, you tended to get too hyped during these award shows and may accidentally pull out some sexy moves that were only meant for him or the stage so he would linger around near you with the rest of BTS.

Jin:

Jin would be fairly calm and mature about the situation. It was an award show and you were just so psyched about your group winning their rookie award that he would let this sly. After all it was just your manager, and he knew that the two of you weren’t in that sort of relationship. If he felt that the dance ever became too sexual or too flirtatious you can bet this vocal momma would call you out and come to your side immediately. But he trusted you at the very least to know not to cross certain boundaries.

Jimin:

Would be kinda jealous, but not so much that he would go impeded your dancing with your manager. He trusted you no doubt about it, but he felt insecure sometimes since you were so pretty and amazing. He knew deep down inside that you had no feelings for your manager and your manager had no feelings for you (Jimin was pretty sure your manager was engaged). But that still didn’t stop the little bubbles of jealousy to pop seeing as how happy and playful you were with another guy. Chimchim would go over and dance with you two just to soothe his little gentle heart.

V (Taehyung)

This little cutie would smile at you and your manager dancing. He thought it was cute that the two of you were close enough to do an adorable celebratory dance for your group's first win. Hell, like pocketful of sunshine J-hope he would jump right in and join in your celebration. Rather than dancing, he would just pull you into snuggles and hugs, impeding your dancing. Tae is not the type to get super aggressive or vocally jealous when you had no ill intentions and especially since he knows that you and your manager were not like that.

Jungkook:

Protective Jungkook mode would be activated. He would be by your side before you even knew it. He wouldn’t do anything though, except awkwardly stand there. He knew that you and your manager were not like that at all, but he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. He didn’t want to show you his petty jealousy though, he wanted to be the cool and suave Kookie, not the jealous Jungshook. He would just chat with his members, glancing at you every so often to see if the dance between you and your manager went beyond what he was comfortable with.

J-Hope:

If you’re the dancing queen then he’s the dancing king. He wouldn’t be jealous, per say that you were dancing with your manager because he knew the two of you weren’t close like that. But, you can bet that he would join you and your manager in the dancing brigade. You were so hyper and happy after your first win and your manager was equally happy for you so of course the two of you and the rest of your members would end up doing a happy dance. Hobbie is a little ball of hyper sunshine and so he would join the celebration with you and dance the night away with you and your manager.

Thank you reading! Comments and critiques are much appreciated!!

ALRIGHT HERE IT FINALLY IS; 6.03 by me

I apologize in advance: this will be lengthy LONG AF, as it’ll be part-my thoughts watching live & part-post comments to certain thoughts

ALSO** DISCLAIMER** I SHOULD’VE SAID THIS A WHILE AGO BUT I’LL SAY IT NOW that I type my thoughts VERBATIM, which is why it’s never in essay format because eh, it’s not me. IT ALSO MEANS I CURSE A LOT IM SORRY IT JUST COMES OUT, I’M NOT ELOQUENT ENOUGH TO MAKE MY POINT WITH BETTER WORDS .. Anyway I shall begin, feel free to comment on anything *just don’t come @ me for literally just thinking something*

Ready @flyingnonny, @marialujan22

Cute little community, alright let’s see what’s going down

Chinese laundry a little stereotypical but I get it

SHELAGH’S UNIFORM BARELY FIT HA AW

“dear Patrick!” Laura is so adorable I can’t

The smiles in the mirror!! *shit after I think about it, more parallels. Shelagh’s looked in the mirror in so many of her great scenes. Series 1! & 2! & was that 4 with the nurse’s uniform the first time! Ah my bby growing up 😭

Lol sister Ursula’s annoying ass still here .. not for LONG THOUGH😊

NO ONE INVITED U ALONG SIS

dead @ Patrick’s reaction, someone gif it

Her mother in law looks mean as hell

Is Lucy mixed?

ah yep called it. Damn deported? Too relevant today..

PHYLLIS

I just get so excited now I love her

Lmao remember when I legit didn’t like her because of her comments to Shelagh before she came back to nursing. DONT WORRY IM OVER THAT

Shelagh looks so pretty!! More of her in cute outfits with the hair down pls 😍

Here for her 1962 wardrobe

Lol lullaby type music what’s she pulling out

“Tempting fate” stop! No bby everything will be okay if not I’m losing my shit

Sister J & Shelagh moments are precious ** Ah you guys reminded me of again another parallel I’m so here for it.

But like if she’s almost halfway as sister j says, has she told everyone already? we shall see, or maybe it’ll be implied

Shelagh saying “WHAT?” is most of my internal monologue in just about all my classes

FUCK, SISTER URSULA ARE YOU FOR REAL

Phyllis’s hand raise tryna avoid actually saying “no offense” to Dr Turner is gold

UGH I CAND STAND THIS NUN UGH

I will bet all my the cash in my wallet (prob $30 at most) we’ll see a soft side to her and Ima still be like “adios puta”

Shelagh’s like “we have a game plan” aw she is pure gold, protect her at all costs what the hell!¡💖

Also if no one at nonnatus knows this could’ve been a perfect chance to tell them, or someone could’ve been eyeing her walking around the table and suspecting? Like Phyllis would notice, she knows everything

Shelagh looking at Patrick literally like “is this bitch serious??”

This isn’t Downton Abbey, I never hated a ‘main character’ (don’t come @ me I hated a few characters but still loved the show)

SISTER URSULA STRESSED? OH WELL

Yo did sister Julienne really not slide Shelagh a new uniform? She’s in a cute outfit but c'mon

Lol this lady knows she’s pregnant

Fred angrily spinning the wheel, I feel

DONT TOUCH THE ROLODEX

PHYLLIS COME AT HERRRRR

20 min visits, “OK”.

Oh no. I sense a sad story coming

Phyllis’s little run, precious

Sister Julienne spilling the tea, but again I don’t care about sister Ursula’s feelings or backstory

WAIT WHO CALLED A THREAT OF GETTING SHUT DOWN THOUGH? IT WASN’T ME BUT I REMEMBER READING IT? Lol score for u because I didn’t see this coming (even though I know damn well they’re not shutting down, like the show would be over)

PHYLLIS ANGRILY EATING IS ME

IDEALLY I’D WANNA SAY I’M TRIXIE BUT HONESTLY WHEN AM I NOT PHYLLIS

she’s my hero anyway, no disappointment

Angela is precious

Tim trying be funny lol but we actually hate sister Ursula

HA NO SQUIRRELS , WAIT so today literally a squirrel ran across the feet and I freaked out. My campus is full of squirrels but like I’m from NYC I don’t fuck with them.

Ok, A) Shelagh’s shoes kinda don’t match but I’ll let it go & 2) is it implied everyone @ nonnatus knows? Like how has she not had a checkup this whole time. I guess Patrick could but that’s doesn’t seem likely

Toad in the hole?? que eso?

I think I said the other day I think she’s watching tv somewhere

MAKE SISTER MJ RETIRE ?? UM HOW DARE U SAY A THING LIKE THAT

The table: *collective gasps* me: *LOUDER GASP*

EVERYONE WAS SHOOK WHEN SHE CALLED BARBARA A SLACKER

Why is babs taking it to heart? Like she sucks anyway

I love Phyllis damn it, not in a way I love Trixie and Shelagh though, it’s different I can’t explain it

I need Phyllis to encourage me to stay in university PLS (some one meet Linda Basset & send me a video of it)

Ah “delightful” screams. This show terrifies me to think about being pregnant one day lol. Like I thought my mother’s stories were bad enough but nah

Shelagh: *is frustrated* me: *gets frustrated* RELAX BBY

how did they really leave her alone, DAMN IT SISTER U, THIS THREATENED MISCARRIAGE WILL BE ON YOU

Also someone get her a new uniform she’s going to dirty her nice clothes

When did scrubs become a thing ?? my mother has like a zillion pairs & I can’t imagine her working in a dress all day. Omg I gotta find a picture one day from when she graduated nursing school she had such a similar style uniform to the nonnutans, I love it 😂

Patrick needs to put his damn finger down im tired of that shit. If he ever does it again with Shelagh I’ll flip a lid

Anyways..

Did she not want a girl?? @ in law

“no, a girls very special” aw

“MY WIFE IS SPREAD TOO THINLY” ha like on a cracker JK STOP STRESSING SHELAGH

“She wouldn’t appreciate the term Elderly primigravida” ha true man, remember she said that last series

Also Patrick can’t type that’s funny

“mending your dress” FIRST OF ALL PATRICK, SHUT UP

YES SHELAGH TELL HIM

“Cool, calm, collected & professional” love her

SHE LAUGHED BUT CRINGED I NEED The GIF

You guys don’t understand, i need to screenshot a conversation with one of my friends. Her and I only ever use CtM screenshots for message reactions it’s so funny but also weird in a way😂 sometimes their cringes are better than basic memes

But to be honest they really have never fought? Lmao that moment could’ve been a little argument but they got over it too quick, bc/ how do they ALWAYS agree/get on? (Excluding the adoption issue but whatever)

Lol why did she have to get up, you get up Patrick

Her outfit is so cute !! My bby

AW!, they’re cute, I’ll forgive him

former nun sitting on a mans lap I love it!¡ without context it sounds funnier

“We’ll pull through, we always do” better be some foreshadow for something good!

I don’t think she has postpartum though

*SUCKS TEETH* UMM BABS not checking the baby is prob a bad move

Shelagh definitely has a baby bump at that angle, DOES EVERYONE KNOW or not WTF?

Bby you feel pain that’s not good u know this !

seriously does Barbara not see it

I’M MRS COLLIER OR WHATEVER BRINGING UP THE SUBJECT & BETTING ON IT

“Have you all been speculating?” HAHH

“Well I don’t approve of gambling on the premises” SHELAGH YOU ARE A GEM

PHYLLIS FINALLY PRESSING SISTER URSULA, TELL HER

AW babs we all feel

Phyllis protecting Barbara aw

There’s not been as much Trixie as I had hoped 💔

But she’s back bitches and I’m happy I missed her

So Barbara smokes for real now, but Trixie doesn’t share her black cigarettes haha

Take your weak apology and go

I CALLED IT, DONT @ ME

I KNEW SISTER MJ WAS WATCHING TV SOMEWHERE

they put a bench out for her how sweet

Sister MJ saying “silence” then “shh it’s starting” is me every week watching this damn show

It hurts that I am so invested in this show

How did it happen I don’t know but I love it so much

Barbara’s ring is pretty

All is well & everything is almost back to normal and lovely *for now*

Sister Julienne is so faithful, like I really would struggle to be so compassionate

Sister Ursula is upset and I’m awful because I do not care

I knew they’d show her vulnerable side so we’d change our minds but I can’t

Sister Julienne you’re so great

It wasn’t a leak??

YES SHE’S ALIVE

“I’m going to the mother house” *squees* YES ENJOY, THANK YOU FOR THE DISTRESS, PLEASE BE ON YOUR WAY

Sister Julienne don’t ask her to reconsider

This was a sweet moment but still don’t like Sister Ursula

AW SISTER MJ I LOVE YOU

she’s so pure, protect her!

Nice leaving the door open Sister Ursula

HATE THE CHARACTER, but you HAVE TO ADMIT HARRIET WALTER IS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS

Phyllis driving her is only right

YES SISTER J IS BACK IN CHARGE

#LETS GET IT 1962

Trixie’s concerned, WHERE IS SISTER MARY CYNTHIA?? ** I really thought Trixie was going to play a bigger role in this episode & I thought this was going to be a longer scene but there’s 5 more episodes, I won’t complain I’ll just be patient. LOL JK UM when is Trixie going to get some time to shine

Oh Shelagh 💔

Aw the Chen’s

OKAY THEY’RE CELEBRATING & EVERYONE’S HAPPY BUT DO THEY NOT KNOW ABOUT SHELAGH? ** **I’m still not sure if they even know she’s expecting but why was Sister Julienne not told she was in the hospital? I know it happened fast but there was time. I don’t like how this played out like it seemed pushed aside but I guess that’s what next episode will address (I hope)

Otherwise, excellent as always

AH VANESSA REDGRAVE & THE NARRATION >>

“We are all traveling through one another’s countries but it is no matter if we meet as strangers, for we can join forces and learn to love..” ah this so applies today ugh the world is insane

BONUS: PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK

New midwife = Valerie’s coming back which is cool but also she’s going to be problematic so *hmm* maybe not

Fred and Violet are cute but still cringing & laughing about them in episode 1

“..The way the world treats women” MORE PHYLLIS BEING THE MAGNIFICENT GEM SHE IS, I AM EXCITED

finding out Tom’s past will be interesting, I’m thinking his mom almost gave him away but then didn’t? probably was raised with out a dad maybe? We’ll see

“We were happy enough before and we’ll be happy again, whatever happens” I don’t freaking know if this is Patrick comforting or breaking but I’m going to BAWL NEXT WEEK. Shelagh’s face omg💔 I can’t take this like she’s been through so much! They’ve been through so much heartache, what more can they take. UGH WTF I feel like they never get to enjoy anything, & I know “that’s life” & “it’s a drama” or whatever you say but damn. I love this poor character so much (why?¿!) & she’s usually sad in every series !!

The End.🙃 it’s 1:52am, I should go to bed.

ALWAYS HIS FATHER'S SON, BUT ALWAYS HIS OWN MAN - BARRY KIRWAN

Some might believe that having a famous parent in the entertainment business is one of the easiest routes ‘in’ that there could possibly be. Just start showing up, say your name, and hey presto, everybody loves you from the get-go and just like that, you’re a star, too! The reality, however, as anyone who’s actually in the business will tell you, and especially if they happen to be the son or daughter of a famous mother or father, is quite different indeed. A famous parent can be a help, but after that, you’ve got to put the work in just like everybody else. You’ve got to have the desire, have the will, have the work-ethic, and of course, have the talent, too.

One young man who has all of those qualities, as well as the famous dad, is Barry Kirwan, son of the one and only Dominic. And while he’ll always be his father’s son, equally so, Barry will always be his own man, too.

Barry performs on the Sunday World stage at this year’s C2C Festival in Dublin.

I had the pleasure of sitting down for a few coffees and a chat with Barry lately, and with his new single all over the airwaves, that was where we kicked things off. The song’s title alone has certainly got people talking, and if they’re honest, singing along! Barry shared the story behind ‘She Only Loves Me For My Willie’…..!

“I’ll tell ya, where I came across that song first was when I lived in Nashville for three months back in 2010. I was livin’ on Joey and Rory’s farm with my brother, Colm, and Joey and Rory asked me to do a few gigs with them. So I started learnin’ their set and and this was one of the songs that Rory sang in that set. So that’s where I first heard it. I know Paul Overstreet [one of the song’s co-writers] had recorded it too, but I’d never heard of it until we did it for these gigs. And then the reason it popped back into my head was because there at Christmas time Kacy Musgraves did a Christmas album and there’s a song on it that’s a kind of play on words about Willie Nelson [‘A Willie Nice Christmas’] as well, and Willie Nelson is actually on the track with her. I was just out driving in the car when I heard it and it just made me think, God, that Willie Nelson song that Rory sang, I haven’t listened to it in a while, ya know. So I went home, and I had all of their demo stuff that they had sent me to learn for their gigs, and I found that song. I listened to it and I thought, ya know what, this could go down well in Ireland. I mean, I did play with the idea in my head for a few days, and I asked my Dad what he thought, and did he think the radio station would even play it at all, and all of that kind of thing. So, yeah, in the end, I just thought it would be a good catchy song to get out there.”

Barry’s new single ‘She Only Loves Me For My Willie’

How did the connection with Joey and Rory come about?

“Well my Dad was managed by a guy called Robert Pratt, who was Don Williams’ manager, he’s Scottish, from Glasgow. And he had an office out in Nashville. So me and Colm were both working with Dad at the time, and Colm had been out in Nashville doin’ some songwriting and stuff. He was friendly with a girl called Brittney Allen, who was George Jones’ backing singer. She got Colm a few writing appointments and things, and Robert knew that Colm wanted to do the singer/songwriter thing. Joey and Rory had just come third in the duet competition called ‘Can You Duet?’, on CMT, and their first song, ‘Cheater, Cheater’, I think it was, went into the Top 10. They were looking to branch out and do some different things, so Robert caught onto them. He decided to do a songwriting tour for Colm, a kind of showcase, like an in-the-round, and he decide to take Joey and Rory on the tour as well. And there was another husband and wife duo also, Steve McClintock and Cathy McClintock, and there was a girl called Julie Forester as well. So everyone did that tour and that was really how we got to know Joey and Rory. They came over here as well and did a show in Glasgow, and four in the north of Ireland.”

Joey & Rory

To me, as a fan, Joey and Rory always seemed like the most adorable, sincerely sweet, and loving couple, and the most genuinely lovely people. Barry confirmed that they were exactly that.

“They were, they were such lovely people. They welcomed me and Colm into their house, and I stayed for three months, Colm for six before he moved closer in to Nashville. They lived about forty minutes outside of Nashville, place called Pottsville, pretty much a ranch. Me and Colm were living in an apartment which was built above a barn, and that’s all since been turned into a theatre for when Joey and Rory did their tv show which they recorded there at the house.”

Again, I know for me, as just a fan, it was heartbreaking watching Joey get sick again and everything that followed. For Barry, who actually know Joey and Rory, it must have been a really tough time?

“We were hearing news firsthand from Colm, because he was stayin’ very much in contact with them. I wrote Rory a few emails too, and in fairness, he did write back to most of them. But aye, it was a hard time. We were like everybody else in the world reading Rory’s blog. Yeah, the fact that we knew them, and knew them very well, it was tough reading.”

Barry on stage with Lauren just after she was confirmed as the winner of Glor Tire 2017.

Aside from his new single, the other big news involving Barry lately was the fact that his contestant on this year’s Glor Tire [country music talent show in Ireland], Lauren McCrory, emerged victorious, winning the competition.

“I’d met Lauren, probably about two years ago, when I was doin’ a Hugo Duncan outdoor broadcast and Lauren was on it, too. I think it was in Omagh. I heard her singing that day, so I knew she could sing! Glor Tire contacted me then about doin’ the show, and they said they’d send me the audition videos and I was to just pick from those. I think there was about sixty of them to go through. So I saw Lauren in there, and even though I already knew she could sing anyway, her audition video really stood out from all the rest as far as I was concerned. So that was it with Lauren. We recorded my show with her in November [each mentor records a full show with their contestant], and we didn’t really do anything else until the show actually aired for the first time in January. Once it started to air Lauren kept coming out to my gigs and getting up to sing, handing out her flyers, and stuff like that, just getting to meet people. And that was what we did as much as possible.”

Around the same time Barry began mentoring Lauren on Glor Tire, he was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at last year’s RTE Irish Country Music Awards. I wondered if Barry thought that may have confused some people, the fact that, on the one hand, he was being heralded as a mentor, but on the other hand, he himself was being seen as a ‘newcomer’?

“Well a lot of people always have a lot of things to say! [laughs]. And I did hear about some people asking how I could be a mentor when I was only just on the scene myself, and that kind of thing. But look, I didn’t care. I’d been on the scene for a long, long time. Some people think I’ve just come out of the blue, but I haven’t. I’ve been sittin’ behind a drum-kit and backing, probably at some stage, nearly every artist who’s on the scene. I mightn’t have been in their full-time bands, but I would have backed them at different concerts along the way. So I’d seen a lot of people work. And I think I had what it took to be a mentor. And we won, so maybe I did [laughs].”

Barry behind the drums

I wondered if the urge to be out front, and in the spotlight, so to speak, was always something that was in Barry?

“It was, it was always there. Because even at a younger age I was involved in musicals, I was part of the drama group, took part in Feis Ceoils. I was an Irish dancer from the age of five. So I’ve always been on stage, and yeah, it’s always been in me. I always wanted to be a singer, but I was always attracted to the drums as well. It just so happened that I was offered a drumming gig and that’s the way it went. It’s not that I got stuck behind a drum-kit for ten years. It was a very good life, I got paid well for it. So when I took the decision to go out front [to sing], it wasn’t an easy one. I was working with Derek Ryan and had been for four and a half years, and was makin’ a very good livin’, and really enjoyin’ workin’ with Derek. I made great friends while doin’ that. And Sean Corr, my manager, still works with Derek, as his lighting man. So yeah, it was always somethin’ I wanted to do. My Dad said to me that if I wanted to do it, to be a singer, it was an opportunity he could give me by letting me go out as his support act and seeing how I felt on stage, and with the audience. I could do that and see what I thought and then take it from there. So I had to make a decision about leaving Derek. But I’m glad I did it.”

Could he remember the actual moment when he knew he had finally made that decision?

“I think it was the day I actually had to tell Derek that I was leaving. It was October, and I told him I’d be leavin’ the followin’ February. In fairness, he was dead-on about it. He backed it and said look, you’ve got to do what you want to do. So Once I got it out of my mouth that I was leaving, that’s where it became real! [laughs]. We did two nights at the Market Place Theatre in Armagh, and those were my last two nights working with Derek. That last night now, it actually really did hit me. I was thinkin’, God, Derek will be workin’ on Friday night and I won’t be there! It really did hit me hard then. It was scary in a way. I mean, what a lot of people don’t realise is to put a band on the road costs a lot of money. Which can all be eaten up pretty fast! That kind of thing was the scary part. Because when you’re a drummer, you turn up at a gig, you set up your kit, you play. You might do that for three, four nights a week, then you get handed your wages on a Sunday. That’s all you have to think about. Whereas now, the thought of having to pay five or six guys, and a band, get a manager, and you have to have meetings every so often to make sure you’re getting gigs… I mean, all that kinda stuff is what people don’t think about. Since June 2016 I’ve had a band together. Some members have come in and gone out in that time, but right now I have a five-piece band out there on the road.”

Barry had mentioned that his manager, Sean, still worked with Derek. But how important is it to have a manager, and to have a strong relationship with them?

“I think it’s very important. He’s the guy that does the talkin’ for ya, really. He’s a vital cog in the whole thing. So I think you definitely have to have a good relationship with him because if you don’t, you probably wouldn’t get anywhere. The fact that I was very friendly with Sean meant we always talked very regularly and we’re still very friendlym which is a good sign, I suppose [laughs[, and that does help. I’ve known him for the whole time I was with Derek, that’s where our relationship would have started. I would have toured around with Derek’s road crew mostly, especially in England, I was always in the band with them. This is Sean’s first time managing someone too, but it’s the same kinda thing as with me. We talked a lot when we were on the road with Derek, and Sean always had aspirations to be a manager. So it all kinda clicked in together well.”

Colm, Dominic and Barry

Without a doubt, Barry is very much his own man, and even if we were to leave aside for a moment his solo career which is still in its early days, he has a career as a drummer which anyone would be more than proud to look back on. There’s no getting away from one fact, however, nor should there be. Because it’s also something to be proud of. We’d mentioned him momentarily at different times during our chat, but how important a figure in his career has Barry’s dad, the great Dominic Kirwan, been?

“Well I was a rock drummer [first], I went to London to study music, at what was then called Drum Tech but it’s now BIMM, and it was all pretty much rock music. Dad was the one who gave me a break. I know it’s a very hard scene to get into, so I might have had it slightly easier because my dad was Dominic Kirwan. I had to learn how to drum country music. Even though I was a country music fan, I’d never really had to drum it. People might think it’s a very easy genre to drum, but it’s not. You have to have a certain feel for it. Especially for dances, because it’s all about the tempo. That was a major learning curve for me, for the first year on the road with dad. But he’s always been behind me, thankfully. And when I decided to go out on the road, I was his support act for four months around Ireland and the U.K. Every night he watched me perform, and every night he would have had somethin’ to tell me at the end. Like maybe don’t talk as long between those songs, but take a bit longer between those other two. And movement. Because of being a drummer, it’s very hard to come out from behind a kit and know what to do with your hands! [laughs]. So I had a problem with my left hand for a while there, it was just there doin’ nothin! Dad picked up on that, and pretty much stage presence generally. He’d critique me every night. I thought that movement on stage would come naturally enough. But it didn’t [laughs]. I don’t know if it was like a fear factor thing, or a nerves thing. I remember we were doin’ Newtownabbey for my first two nights as a front man, and I’d say I was probably the most boring person to watch. I think I was just like a statue on the stage, just standing there. But the more you do it, the more the nerves relax, and the more the body relaxes. And with Dad giving me the wee pointers every night, just gradually over the four months it became more natural. But there’s definitely a lot to learn. Talkin’ to an audience is a craft in itself, never mind singing to them. You have to make sure you don’t bore them, and that you keep them with you.”

Barry’s new single, ‘She Only Loves Me For My Willie’, is available now to download and to request from all country radio stations.
