real talk if anyone on here ever wants to like... buy me a DVD i will totally draw a real quick bust or whatever in exchange, i have a target wishlist registry thing and everything 😂
Tumblr media
Like it says in the note thing on the page, DVD or DVD/Blu-Ray are both fine, regular (not 4k) Blu-Ray is probably fine since my PS4 should be able to play those, but I only have a regular-ass PS4, not a PS5, I cannot play UHD, so if something is 4K UHD please make sure it has either a DVD or a regular Blu-Ray as well...
Anyway it should be set up so you can buy stuff off my registry without me having to blast my address to the world (lol) so if you do this, send me an ask or something off anon (so I can like, contact you) (that or like, send me a message on discord if we're friends, or w/e) and I will def draw you a little drawing as thanks 👍
#nadia rambles#ftr i haven't seen the barbie movie so i don't know if it's actually good. i wanted to see it but had no money at the time.#same for blue beetle but the review i read seemed generally favorable in that it's supposedly like... heartfelt? and not all meme#i do really like the weird tech-organic suit design.#and honestly my tolerance for bad movies is higher than it seems at times— i just dislike the mcu specifically#i generally like a bad movie that has a vision — aesthetic drive etc. — over sanitized and visually bland shit#like at least interesting choreo? even the best choreographed mcu movies i've found to be both slow AND hard to follow#and the lighting and color grading i keep seeing is just fucking awful. like. jesus christ. that's conk creet baby that's CEMENT#i did actually enjoy ant-man and the wasp but i found the romance boring and while i like ghost's whole vibe#the reason her design is good is because it's like... literally a destiny 2 hunter outfit LMAO#i prefer clayton crain's comic art significantly but like. that's. maybe not a practical movie costume.#but fuck would i like to see someone try *that*#anyway all of these others i have seen and 100% want to own physical media for (though i may add some i haven't seen later)#obv furiosa isn't out on physical media yet so that's not on there lol#also haven't added madame web yet but eyeing that steelbook tbqh just wanna make sure it includes regular blu-ray first#idk if anyone will even see this let alone send anything but i figure why not#at the very least i can share with family for holiday gift requests....#i don't understand why like the batman and atsv and john wick all have dvd/blu-ray options#but barbie and madame web and prey don't have that option#it's either blu-ray or dvd or 4k or 4k/blu-ray but not blu-ray dvd :/#which honestly is my preferred vessel cause that way i can have access to either if i need it#i put in blu-ray for barbie and prey and prob will for madame web but really wish it was blu-ray/dvd 😔

Astro notes : Short N' Sweet - Uranian Love
Tumblr media
Uranus in the 1st - They have a heart of compassion, they hold a tight grip on it for the most part. Have a very striking presence, and usually have others jaw dropping from time to time. Some very special creatures and they will show you a new perspective on things if you let them in.
Uranus in the 2nd - Magical opportunities await them. They have universal knowledge that carries that to newer astrological thinking. They could use this to their benefit or they can shapeshift the world in a super master manipulative way but its totally up to them.
Uranus in the 3rd - Beautiful speakers. Ferocious thinkers. capable of anything really. They have tons of talents that are pretty unique and it captivates people from time to time. Like how do you draw so fast? how does your voice sound like that? So many different worlds in that mind of theirs, are you gonna pick their brain to know whats up with em?
Uranus in the 4th - Awe inspiring wonders that live in the mind of these creatures. Very delicate and choose their words wisely with people, at home they're notorious for speaking the truth even if it hurt a lil. Nobody likes them at school, so at home they treat themselves to something special to throw that energy back into the air. Could have a war inside their mind or in the privacy of their own home but you wouldn't know. They carry their problems well.
Uranus in the 5th - Talented beings whose sole purpose is to be better than the next, and to stand out from the crowd with their wicked humor, their amazing appeal to the audience, and their generous energy being the token of something lighting the way for people to be shocked, amazed and full of emotions that will have you pulsing. Very needy individuals though, but you'll love em for it. It's not easy to get for everyone.
Uranus in the 6th - They love the outdoors and need alone time to process their emotions here. Have the ability to see thru the minds of others. Their analytically skills are through the roof here. Are capable of leadership roles and teaching others tricks when it comes to different hobbies. Like for example, they could teach you how to paint but in a different way than what is the usual.
Uranus in the 7th - Orthodox beliefs can bring in a pretty interesting love life. The desire to be noticed for their radical personalities can be brought to them by a very interesting partner who matches their vibe. They need something or someone that is going to awaken their minds not just their heart. Usually intimidating upon first meeting but their super chill right after.
Uranus in the 8th - Taboo realities. They can ignite a fire in you with just their touch. Mystical vision. Have tendencies to come off a bit off the rockers, but they normally are right about the things they know. Can hold on to your secrets, and i mean the things that you KNOW will shock someone. Power mind readers.
Uranus in the 9th - Have a deep bond with the universe. Can penetrate the thoughts of others in more ways than one. Have issues with silencing themselves because not everyone wants to know what they do not understand. Have issues with learning things on their own but are too stubborn to let people help them. Very intricate minds that see things in a peculiar light.
Uranus in the 10th - Amazing leaders. They are made to be known as something unique and different and ahead of their time. Could come out in the spotlight in a shocking way, but this normally leads to their benefit. The quicker it comes, the quicker you must be on your feet and keep the momentum to a level of your liking.
Uranus in the 11th - The community loves them. Social media could be a walk in the park for them, making it their playground. Def needs to open up a lil, the more they do the better they are with people and the more popular they can be too. Can hold their own in the group, deep bonds with their friends. Very practical. Can pick up on vibes easily with others.
Uranus in the 12th - Needs to escape the mind more than usual. This is pretty interesting because the mind really is suppose to be your escape, but in this reality the mind needs a place to relax. You can go bonkers just sitting in your room all day, or just doing the same thing over and over. Gotta get up and face that hurricane and use the magic within to make something out of it. Something beautiful comes out along the way. Could be known as the crazy one, but what they say tends to have truth to it. Def be knowin' what they're talking about, you just have to listen more clearly. ;)

This is something I thought of suddenly: So when the Actors-on-Actors roster came out, I didn’t have that much of a problem with Taylor being paired up with Joey King. It was kinda odd to have two close friends who are now doing very different projects put together, but they were happy and watching Joey King fangirl over RWRB was fun.
But now that I think of it, it was such a missed opportunity not to put Taylor with Jonathan Bailey. 
(Gonna preface this by saying I know far less about Mr Bailey than Tay, I skimmed through Fellow Travelers, Bridgerton S2 is on my to-watch list, and as a fan of Wicked the Musical I have complicated feelings about the movie adaptation)
The thing that is so often brought up with RWRB is that it’s a queer rom-com, it’s a queer love story with a happy ending. The relationship itself does not need to be sacrificed. In fact the whole Kensington confrontation is proving exactly that: they are in a position and point in time where they don’t have to give up on their love and relationship for the sake of other aspects of their lives, they can “find a way to love each other on our own terms, no one else’s”. Many people, including the core four of the movie (Matthew, Casey, Taylor, Nick) have said that this is something that made this movie stand out from other queer productions, something that the world needs. 
Tumblr media
Fellow Travellers is almost the exact opposite: it is exactly about the periodic queer struggles. It is about the lavender scare when any queer members of the US government were deemed national security risks, and were subsequently dismissed from their stations. It is about the AIDS epidemic that led to the devastation and discrimination of queer communities. It is about a closeted man who chooses to submit himself to a lavender marriage, but who also can’t let go of his one true love. If RWRB is the idealistic future that we’re trying to build, then fellow travellers depict the dirty, gritting, tragic reality of the past. 
Tumblr media
And here’s the thing, as Matthew said, both types of queer stories are important, both kinds of queer stories need to be told. We need to acknowledge the bad parts of the past, as a reflection of society, as a reminder of history and the progress made, but we also need to imagine the wonders of a better future, as a target for society, as a vision for the progress to make. 
And it would have been so interesting to hear the conversation on this contrast between the main leads of two very different queer projects. 
Additionally, another thing they can compare is queer intimacy on screen, because again, the intimacy of the two projects are vastly different: RWRB made a deliberate point in creating a more gentle, vulnerable, and quiet intimacy in the Paris scene, with the focus being on the characters’ face; Fellow Travellers’ intimacy is far more explicit and wild, much sexier if you will. Again, both have their place in media and the queer community: sex can be wild and fun, but sex can also be sacred and soft. It would be really interesting to hear the similarities and differences between the two experiences, especially since Taylor has done more explicit stuff in Minx (in a heterosexual on-screen couple) and Jonathan has done more vulnerable intimacy in Bridgerton (also in a heterosexual on-screen couple)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are just so many parallels and points that the two could have talked about! So although I’m still fairly okay satisfied with the Taylor Actors on Actors we got, this is such a missed opportunity to talk about the importance of different types of stories in the queer community.

Wanted to share a little something for my fellow Tevan stans currently fed up with the rising flood of BoB toxicity on 911 abc's socials.
We can all see that post the release of the Tommy x Henren scene, the BoBs have gone totally rabid. Until the Tevan pride post, we were still managing to dominate the comments section with our positivity. But now all hell has broken loose.
I mean, it's upsetting and annoying to see but not shocking. They whined so much about the nonsensical karaoke scene which they never got to see, but the show released the bonus scene with Tommy right before the new season's production begins (and the writing has started weeks ago.) It's such a huge slap on their faces and somewhere in the back of their minds they know B*ddie is never happening, but they pretend to be in denial and now their strategy is to make sure that we Tevan stans don't get to gush over our canon ship without having to counter their nastiness. All because their fanon ship dreams are dying a painful death.
Do the BoBs and the B*ddies outnumber Bucktommies? On social media at least they do, we have to admit this. But I still hope that the writers don't indulge this bullying and harassment just because that fandom is a loud majority on socials. Their controversial opinions and insensible demands cannot be a deciding factor for shaping future storylines. There are many people who appreciate Buck and Tommy's storyline and feel represented by it, despite the little screen-time they've gotten. We cherish all the tiny crumbs we get and make the most out of it without threatening and harassing anyone for what we don't get. We daydream and make our headcanons but we don't tell the writers how to do their jobs. And that's the reason why we were blessed with the deleted Tommy-Henren clip.
Ultimately, the showrunner is answerable to the network studio mainly for the show's viewership and ratings, not the hue and cry about whether certain fandoms are enjoying the current storylines or not. And with the way these BoBs are getting crazier with their delusions, they will never stop watching the show even 50 seasons later with their eternal hopes for B*ddie going canon, so I believe viewership is never going to be an issue for Tim and ABC.
So I am pretty positive that as long as Tim is personally keen on developing Buck and Tommy's love story (and the network is supportive), irrespective of the BoBs' frustration and their vile flood of hate for Tommy and Tevan, he will continue writing as his creative vision sees fit. We shouldn't lose faith just because the haters have stepped up their game and are going above and beyond to make us lose it. We just have to stop engaging with them completely. The block button is the greatest boon — it's so much more satisfying to do it than bickering with the haters. Just continue spreading your love for Tommy and Buck, even if we seem a minority. Little drops make an ocean after all.
Not to forget, the timing of the Tommy and Henren clip being released is so important. They could have shared it with us during Pride but they didn't. They did it now. Which means that Tommy is definitely an important part of the storylines for season 8 even if it's in a supporting capacity. ABC wouldn't have released the clip so close to the premiere date announcement if Tommy was not returning. Tim Minear wouldn't be telling fans how old Tommy is and other stuff if he had no plans to write more for that character. So we have to ignore all the mad theories, gross misinterpretations, and wicked hopes of the BoBs and trust that better things are coming! 🙏🏽

Say it ain’t so
[a/n: this is also posted on my ao3. It’s not permitted to be posted anywhere else without my permission, approval, or consent. If you see it elsewhere please notify and thank you! I also do requests.]
Alastor isn’t fond of media. 
That includes the flat screen who hasn’t shown his face on the news or any other television program. It doesn’t particularly affect him but it certainly raises his questions. He watched as the lights flickered and sparks flew from the power lines. It was a hunch. A theory even but his suspicions were most likely correct. If the missing overlord and glitchy effects were anything to go by.
Perhaps, his dear friend deserved a visit? For entertainment of course. 
But he should inform Charlie of his decision. In case things go differently. Walking down the stairs he made eye contact with the lady herself. His eyes curved to the shape of smile which pulled his lips ever so tightly.
“Charlie, my dear, I’ll be busy this evening so continue your activities.” His voice getting rather monotonous when he continued. “With everyone else. Ta Ta!”
She gives him a wave and her eyes crinkle from how genuine she is. It makes Alastor raise a brow but he gives a curt nod.
As the radio demon left the hotel he went into the streets of hell. Alastor roamed the twisted alleyways of Hell, his senses were assaulted by the sights and sounds of suffering. Pure filth and cruelty, it was perfect. Tormented souls writhed in agony, their anguished cries echoing off the decaying walls. The air was thick with the stench of despair, a humble reminder of the eternal torment that awaited those damned to this infernal realm. 
And he is one of them.
Instead of the usual blare of media screens that adorned the buildings the screens eerily silent. Not even on, Alastor noticed. The absence of the incessant drones capturing others secrets made him even more confused. But his questions were answered when the televisions on the displays lit up. The 666 news channel started playing.
Ah! Finally, Vox must’ve fixed—
But the sinners thoughts were interrupted as he saw the screen. It was Velvette not Vox. Involuntarily his smile twitched and his nails gripped his staff. Leaving the man even more confused than he was before.
Alastor doesn’t enjoy being the one in the dark, perhaps it was time to shine some light on this subject.
A wicked smile tugged at the corners of Alastor's lips as he snapped his fingers, summoning his shadows to envelop him. With a predatory gleam in his eyes, he allowed the darkness to swallow him whole, transporting him to his intended destination. His yellow teeth are put into a devilish grin.
How interesting.
.˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.˚🦈˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚.
Wires bent and stretched in the sinners palms. The televisions screen flashed blue before malfunctioning and his body twitched as his chest heaved up and down. Thirsty for air. His once-sharp voice module crackled with static, sending jolts of pain through his system with each attempt to speak.
”Va-a” Vox’s throat burned for relief but he was given none when a raspy cough left him. “Val? Valentino?”
He called for his business partner but he was given no feedback. Not even Velvette?
Shit he’ll overheat like this.
His fans were barely cooling his rising temperature. Vox wasn’t sure if he would be able to cool himself down. The televisions surroundings seemed to blur as his vision began to falter, the relentless heat threatening to overwhelm his systems entirely. Fuck, fuck, fuck—
“My, my! Hello old friend,” A voice laced in static broke Vox from his thoughts. “You seem to be in quite the predicament.”
An intrigued hum left the deers mouth. His crimson eyes crinkled in amusement as he stared the younger man. Vox gulped down some of his saliva. His screen buffering with pixelated black and white before showing his face again.
“You-!$*sa…!”
”Hm?”
His fingers curled scrapping the floor with his claw marks. “What..” Vox used his hypnosis eye. “Are you doing here?”
“I’m here for the entertainment, my friend.” His eyes gazed into Vox’s. “Not for your little tricks.”
A grumble was his reply.
“So, it’s seems like you are in quite the situation. Ha ha.” 
“No shit, Alastor.”
Alastor chuckled darkly at Vox's words. "Well, well, looks like the overlord Vox is having a bit of trouble." He paced around Vox, his shadowy form casting an eerie aura in the dimly lit room. “Where’s your beloved moth?”
Vox felt himself tense.
“Who gives a shit? I-$!sdo-dn’t!!” His screen buffered.
The deer chuckled at his behavior and gave the tv screen a light tap with cane. Making the screen return to his usual face.
"Fear not, my dear friend, for I have come to offer my assistance."
Vox's screen flickered as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Help? From you? I'd fucking trust Lucifer over you.”
Alastor's grin widened, revealing his sharp teeth. "Ah, but you see, Vox, you are desperate, are you not? And who better to assist you in your time of need than the one and only Radio Demon? Your rival.”
Vox hesitated, weighing his options. This was probably a one in lifetime experience. Call him a simp but to be nursed by Alastor…. The thought wasn’t repulsive. But if this was all just a stupid joke he’d fucking kill himself-or Alastor. He wasn’t sure which he actually wanted.
Despite his pride, he reluctantly accepted Alastor’s offer. "Fine," he agreed, his voice strained. "But don’t you fucking try something."
“Splendid! What a pleasant surprise.”
With a snap of his fingers, Alastor summoned his shadows once more, manipulating them with expert precision. The screen displayed a “Danger!” sign and Vox covered himself in electricity. Static shock sending throughout his body.
“Ah, ah! Don’t move Vox,” The overlord shivering when Alastor said his name. “They don’t bite.”
 Shadows danced around Vox, cooling his overheated systems and stabilizing his malfunctioning circuits. Slowly, Vox felt the intense heat dissipate, replaced by a welcome sense of relief. He didn’t know Alastor’s shadows were able to that. In fact, he liked to believe that he knew a lot about Alastor. Because.. they’re rivals of course.
As the shadows receded, Vox's screen cleared, displaying his image without any glitches or distortions. He blinked in surprise, momentarily speechless. He… helped Vox?
"Consider it a favor, Vox," Alastor said nonchalantly, though a hint of amusement lingered in his tone. "But remember, every favor comes with a price."
Vox gritted his teeth, knowing all too well the nature of deals made with demons. "I won't forget it, Alastor," he replied through clenched jaws. "And I won't owe you anything."
Alastor chuckled ominously, his red eyes gleaming with mischief. "We'll see about that, Vox. We'll see."
The sinner got up from his bed and approached Alastor and spoke softly. “Thanks.. I guess.” Alastor’s gaze softened at his words even if Vox wasn’t aware he heard.
”Hm? Im afraid you’ll have to speak up, dear.”
”I said..” He bit his lip. “Fuck you!”
”I think, I should’ve let you fry up.”

Hi! Since I'm putting together a playlist for Nigel and Alex, I was wondering
What are some songs that you think are really good fits for them/their story?
I have a couple Like Minds playlists assembled using my own vision of the characters. The first is my take on LM canon (meaning sliiiightly divergent from it) and which is a complete list in the old school mix CD/tape style, meant to be listened to in order from start to finish as a complete story.
The second is a much longer and more random list that I am always adding to, and which is meant to be "what if they both live" vibes. Some of the songs are meant more specifically as POV or about Nigel or Alex, but most of them are the dynamic between them. Some of these tracks are heavily influenced by the He Stings Like He Means It fic by @gali-in-distress, including the song from which the title was pulled as the first track, and also with songs from which chapter titles were pulled. I am always adding more as I find relevant music for them.
The entire first playlist are songs that fit them well, imo. If I had to pick specific songs from it, I'd have to go with Salvation by Scanners or Monster by Meg Myers.
The big AU list has so, so many tracks that it's really hard to pick just a few. Honey, Young God, Ya'aburnee and multiple other tracks by Halsey are all good. Arsonist's Lullabye IS Alex's theme song as far as I'm concerned. Beautiful Crime by Tamer, Become the Beast by Karliene, Animal covered by Chase Holfelder, Wicked Game covered by Ursine Vulpine, Strangelove covered by Black Math, Tiny Gods by Shayfer James, Bang by Armchair Cynics, Exit Music by Radiohead, I Come With Knives by IAMX, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND by Bad Omens, I LUV U by Mia Rodriguez, Time is Running Out by Muse, the list goes on and on.
Everyone is going to have their own take on Alex and Nigel and their dynamic as a couple, and music taste is so personal that I recommend just going through the various Like Minds lists on Spotify to see what presses your buttons. To find even more music, I also recommend listening to Hannibal/murder husband playlists and maybe also Killing Eve, Death Note/Lawlight, Killing Stalking, and similar media themed playlists because they tend to have a similar vibe.
Hope that helps!

(spoken like i’m in a drive thru)
can i get uhhhhhhhhh
more eugene headcanons, yeah just whatever the chef likes of those
The chef is on it :>
Miscellaneous Eugene Head canons!
- Eugene is actually mildly allergic to cats and very allergic to dogs. He just doesn’t care enough not to adopt a kitty. Really the only thing stopping him from adopting every stray he makes eye contact with is his own poor work life balance.
- He doesn’t really have the time to consume a lot of media, indeed most of the time the media is consuming him. If he gets around to it though he has a surprisingly high tolerance for any horror stuff. Realistic horror is really what gets to him most, but a lot of the time stuff doesn’t register as being scary.
- The only thing that really kept him from staying up at ungodly hours was Felix’s insistence that it was Nap Time Right Now Immediately. When Felix died he lost a lot of his sense of time, so Eugene’s sleep schedule has suffered a lot.
- When Eugene was little, he was a late talker but an early reader. Indeed his development as a child was often found to be befuddling. His social skills were often behind and he was often too afraid to talk to other people his age, but tended to excel academically. This was only exacerbated by the fact that he was bumped up a grade during elementary school.
- Cats are probably his favorite animal, but he also really likes ducks, nudibranchs, penguins, and rays.
- When Eugene was younger he wanted to be a marine biologist, and later a vet.
- Eugene is a trans man I know he is he told me himself. He got very excited when he got on T and started growing facial hair and then immediately shaved it off. He just liked knowing he could.
- Before he realized he could talk to ghosts his whole seeing dead people thing was mostly chalked up to nightmares and an overactive imagination. During his teen years he actually started to think he was just hallucinating.
- Y’know how everyone has those foundational pieces of media that never really leave your brain..? Like they just sorta merge with your personality. I feel like Eugene would be that way about Wicked (or whatever the Drawtectives equivalent would be for that… Bicked?) He has indeed seen Cats and it terrified him as a child and he refuses to rewatch it, so he never saw the remake.
- Eugene talks to himself, animals, and inanimate objects. He tends to be pretty gentle about the later two but doesn’t always extend himself the same kindness.
- Eugene is both slightly nearsighted and farsighted, he just doesn’t have great vision overall. He uses glasses to read. He can never seem to remember where he left them (they’re always on his forehead or in his hand already.)
- He has a really high pain tolerance. He could fall from a third story window and walk away bewildered but otherwise unscathed.
- Because Eugene can see the ghosts of animals, he sees a lot of bugs just hanging out. They usually fizzle out pretty fast because bugs don’t really have unfinished business the same way people do.
- Eugene wears cologne but it doesn’t really smell like that much. It’s sort of like petrichor, or wet metal, kind of cucumber adjacent. He smells mostly like his shampoo, which is floral.
- In contrast to his attitudes regarding horror, Eugene cries at every cheesy feel good movie he sees. He really likes rom-coms if he makes the time to watch them.
- He doesn’t like carbonated beverages and if he gets one he’ll let it sit out until it goes flat.
- He really really likes keychains but doesn’t own a lot. He likes the jingle jangle sounds they make. Rosé gave a few to him and he’s been enraptured with them ever since.
- Eugene likes sweet beverages, he can’t stand the taste of plain coffee. He insists upon just trying to add the correct amount of milk and sugar to his coffee to make it taste the way he enjoys, and he’s never really managed to get the ratio quite right. He just drinks it anyway and feels sad about himself.
- Eugene owns a phone bone but doesn’t really use it outside of contacting his coworkers/friends and playing drawing hop. When he types me uses emoticons like “:~)” and “<:~\”. He also sends a lot of gifs of little animated animals.
- He really likes milkshakes but doesn’t get them that often.

Hi! This is a fic rec of my favorite reality show au's organized by word count from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!
As You Are by Zarah5 (139k)
AU. Five years after The X Factor launched his career as a radio host and songwriter, Louis Tomlinson returns as a judge. Falling for a contestant is the last thing he needs. It's also against his contract.
The only reason Harry auditions for The X Factor is because his best mate signed the two of them up as some kind of joke. Harry doesn't get the big deal—not until he's faced with this season's judges and realises that one of them used to be his desperate, impossible teenage crush.
For the Right Reasons by juliusschmidt / @juliusschmidt (105k)
Harry doesn’t agree to be the Bachelor expecting to find love. He’s just hoping for an exciting jaunt around the world, half a dozen new friends, and, if he’s lucky, an amazing hj or two.
Louis may have signed up to be a contestant on the Bachelor, but he’s not interested a ring or a proposal, not from Harry, not from anyone. He wouldn’t turn down a few more Instagram followers, though.
Somewhere In Between Lightning by jassy117 nauticalleeds shiningdistractionwrites / @nauticalleeds @shiningdistraction (99k)
As Louis took another bite, he thought back to how he had once believed that the hardest thing about being on Love Island would be Liam handling his social media.  He had been wrong. It was Harry Styles, peeking over at Louis as he forked a pancake into his mouth, and gauging his reaction. It was having to quench the swelling of his heart, which felt simultaneously like hope and the breaking of a thousand pieces.
---
A summer gone wrong (or very right) when, under Liam’s persuasion, Louis finds himself drunkenly applying for Love Island, and getting accepted. Oh, well. A summer spent on an island paradise couldn’t be all that bad, right?
Imagine his surprise when Louis arrives in sunny Majorca to find that his first love and ex-boyfriend, Harry, is another contestant, about to capture the hearts of everyone in the villa. Most normal people don’t have to face their ex on an otherwise straight TV show. Most normal people don’t fall for their ex again in front of the whole nation, either. Too bad this whole situation isn’t normal.
The Stars Are Guiding Me Back by coffeelouis / @coffeelouis (80k)
Directing the first ever season of The Bachelor with a bisexual star is a huge career move for Louis. After throwing himself into his career, he finally has the opportunity to prove himself as a director with a unique vision.
For Harry, being cast as the first ever Bi Bachelor means finally putting his ex-boyfriend behind him and starting anew. He's taking a chance on finding love and determined to do it right this time.
They didn't exactly think this through.
[or, the BACHELOR AU where Louis directs his ex-boyfriend Harry in his season as America's first bi bachelor.]
The Wicked Game by cherrystreet / @cherrystreet (70k)
An AU in which The Bachelor is gay, Louis is a contestant, Harry is the bachelor, everyone drinks a lot of champagne, the entire world gets to watch them fall in love, and no one plays by the rules.
Outwit, Outplay, Outlast by dancesongsoul, lookatyourchoices (60k)
“Tommo and Harry are gonna do it. I don’t know when, but they’re gonna do it. They’ve got the mattress, the pillows, everything’s in place, and they’re gonna do it. I really wish those two the best of luck.” –Taylor Swift, "Chapera"
Or a Survivor All-Stars AU in which Harry and Louis are just in this game to win the million dollars, but they end up with something better.
Featuring Harry's yellow swim shorts, Louis in snapbacks, and OT5 shenanigans.
Becoming Us by sweariwouldnt (59k)
Married at First Sight is a television show in which hopefuls looking for The One are matched by experts deeming them to be the perfect match. The twist? They meet each other for the first time at the altar. When they exchange their ‘I do’s’. And get married for real.
One Harry and Louis find each other at the altar. They have five weeks to make or break the set-up marriage.
Playing To Win by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom (36k)
Big Brother UK alumni Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are selected for the UK vs Australia All Stars series with a massive one million dollar prize in the offing. They’re both fit and smart and would make a great alliance... if only they can stop their feelings from getting in the way.
OR the one where Louis really doesn’t want to like Harry, Harry is struggling to quell his growing fondness for Louis, but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t fight fate.

Prophecy And Symbolism of Eastern Grass Owl
The Following Channel is from higher powers, Divine, the ancestral plane and is prophetic through Quornesha S. Lemon|
Whether the Eastern Grass Owl appears in dreams, visions, waking life or synchronicities, it is a sign and message that you’re safe, protected and guarded by divine forces that help battle lower frequencies on your behalf. A traitor will be exposed and the authorities of the spirit will see the truth. You are more powerful than you were before. Your confidence is on another level, as well as your love. Your thoughts are highly regarded and you confuse your enemies. The prosperity of the wicked will come to you. Divine will alchemize all that opposes you and put blessings into your hand instead of what the enemy desires.
You are a force to be reckoned with and you walk so gracefully that the only thing/being that can humble you is God/Divine. You can rest assured that the next chapter of your life is that of being unbothered, unhindered and unstoppable. Not only do your ancestors trust and love you. but other people’s ancestors love you as well. You honor people that you have never met before. Your heart is golden.
This message isn't, obviously resonant with all whose paths it crosses, as perhaps you may encounter someone of this vernacular, mastery or skill. Therefore, it is a sign from the universe that you're meant to work with such a person. What was once a threat will subside. Pay attention to an increase in your finances or salary. You are watched over by higher powers. You are loved in many realms and some of these very realms fear to try you in a malevolent way.
To Go against you is to go against God/Divine. You are about to, if you have not already are about to be gifted with sight to commune with forces beyond the control of the ordinary and you will have authority over it all. You will have a grace and favor over your life. Dead goals and dreams will be resurrected. New passions will arise. It’s time you live in a paradise of your own. Your instincts will begin to be right on the money. Pinpoint even. A shift has occurred that no one can undo. NO power in heaven/hell can nullify.
Need further clarity or your own queries answered? Book your own reading as my schedule is full and I do not guarantee a reply on social media regarding this post.
If this is not you, then it is time to get clear to rejoin your tribe or the rest of the world of infinite beings. It's time to bring your light to the forefront. However, if you aren't able to invoke, heal or otherwise on your own, call on the assistance of shamans, healers, intuitive people, etc. to assist you. This synchronicity can possibly have specific meanings for you, it's time to get insight.

hello Meiri! I'm currently reading through your last Pathologic fic and I'm absolutely in love with it. One thing that sticked out to me, though, (in this fic and others you've written) was the many references to mythology/different myths, which is a topic I'm very interested in but in which I have almost no knowledge. So I thought I'd ask: Do you have any particular recommendations of books (or any other media) on the topic? Hope you have a nice day!
hiiiii HAPPY TO HEAR YOU'RE ENJOYING IT SO FAR and i'm going to keep it 100 You gotta read the Iliad & the Odyssey. if you want to approach greek myths (which is the canon i put the most in my writing) you gotta do it. when i was barely learning to read age 4 my dad would read me the Iliad & the Odyssey so i very much come from a background of I Knew This Already and didn't have to get into it as an adult but this was the entry point for me. helped by the fact that i was 4. this was My entrypoint to greek mythology age 4 and i consider it pretty essential reading if you want to get into that. also obviously Ovid's 25 Metamorphoses. it's a pretty short read (middle school mandatory reading here) like book thinner than my pinkie. also keeping it 100 I Read Wikipedia Pages For Fun. i know it's not everyone's cup of tea but that is a real thing. many greek myths have gone through multiple iterations and reading wikipedia pages allow you to see their different iterations and seek them out on your own.
if you're not into reading wiki pages as a hobby and are not particularly interested in checking out the Iliad & the Odyssey right away i recommend Anne Carson's works, especially Eros the Bittersweet (not necessarily Myths-related) & her "An Oresteia", which is a more-modern-minded translations of Agamemnon (by Aeschylus), Elektra (by Sophocles) and Orestes (by Euripides)
here's my reasoning: while EtB does not exclusively relate to greek myths in particular, it is articulate around greek poetry in general and it (in my vision at least) give you a real appreciation for the written greek word; it's like a peek behind the scenes at how Writing A Myth was conceptualized, even if its main subject is Eros [the bittersweet] & while you're also "better off" reading the original plays of Agamemnon, Elektra & Orestes, if you truly have no knowledge of greek tragedies & how they are woven in myths/myths are woven into them, Carson's translation give them a "fresh" "modern" "kick" that makes them way easier to read than older translation and also i think would give one the "taste" for more greek tragedies (fun fact! "House of Atreus! House swollen with blood and soot, with divine rage and spit(e) [...]" is directly inspired by the (Aeschylus) Oresteia: the House of Atreus is the wicked house around which Orestes' story articulates itself...)
this is maybe revealing nothing new of me but i've watched No movies about greek myths and i have read No "modern retellings"/contemporary YA or NA books with or about greek myths or things of the sort. most i'm completely uninterested in frankly.
HOPE THIS HELPS i know it's. pretty dry to tell someone to read the iliad & the odyssey if they want to get into greek myths but like. gotta be done doesn't it. also anne carson's translation work & hopefully it gives you a Taste for the Rest. i really did like my reading of her An Oresteia & it truly did give me the kick i needed to finish this fic lol.

If Spookies feels like two different movies, it’s because it’s one of those nightmare productions where the “making of” story might be more interesting than the movie itself. Yes, too many cooks spoil the broth and Spookies is solid evidence that too many filmmakers ruin the movie. With production being shanghaied near the beginning of post-production work and half the film reshot, Grue Believers will never know if the original crew’s vision would’ve made a better movie. Throw in some top makeup and effects people early in their careers and the Grue Crew have plenty to fuel their talkabout of this fun, mess of a movie.
At the time of this writing, Spookies is available to stream from Tubi, Shudder, ScreamBox, and AMC+, and on physical media in Blu-ray format in a 2-disc set from Vinegar Syndrome.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film chosen by Jeff, will be Just Before Dawn (1981), an underappreciated slasher from co-writer/director Jeff Lieberman (Squirm, 1976; Blue SunshineI, 1977) and starring George Kennedy, Chris Lemmon, Deborah Benson, Greg Henry, and Mike Kellin. 
Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].

Monkey Man Packs a Brutal Punch: A Review
Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over the man who took everything from him. 
Tumblr media
It's nothing short of a miracle that the Monkey Man has finally emerged from the depths of development purgatory. After years of languishing in the turbulent waters of Netflix's production pipeline, Jordan Peele emerged as the savior, resurrecting the project and ushering it onto the grand stage of the silver screen. However, despite the palpable excitement and joy that accompanied its long-awaited release, I find myself grappling with conflicting emotions.
On one hand, the film's stylistic choices, characterized by the relentless use of shaky cam, uncomfortably close-up cinematography, and disjointed editing, left me feeling perpetually unsettled and, at times, downright nauseated. Throughout the entirety of its runtime, I found myself silently pleading for respite from the visual chaos, yearning for clarity amidst the frenetic flurry of motion that dominated the screen. Yet, alas, my desperate entreaties were met with indifference, as the film stubbornly clung to its chosen aesthetic, heedless of its potential impact on its audience. Moreover, while the premise of the film held promise, offering the tantalizing allure of a revenge thriller, the execution ultimately fell prey to the trappings of the genre. The narrative unfolded along a disappointingly predictable trajectory, with each plot twist and turn telegraphed well in advance, robbing the story of any genuine sense of suspense or intrigue. It became increasingly evident that the film was content to tread familiar ground, relying heavily on tired tropes and clichés rather than daring to chart a more innovative and unexpected course.
Tumblr media
However, conversely, one cannot overlook the evident passion that director, co-writer, and lead actor, Dev Patel, has poured into this project. His directorial prowess not only breathed life into the script but also elevated it to new heights through the incorporation of cultural metaphors and meticulous artistic direction. Patel's vision packs a powerful punch, particularly evident in the film's action sequences. Despite some reservations about the framing, these moments are executed with a raw and brutal intensity that hits in all the right ways Featuring unique yet visceral kills and a trio of extended action set pieces, Patel draws inspiration from the John Wick franchise while infusing the genre with his own distinctive flair. Furthermore, the film deftly navigates numerous political and social themes with remarkable finesse, seamlessly integrating them into the fabric of the narrative. Particularly commendable is its handling of trans representation, notably through the portrayal of the Hijra people, which surpasses the treatment typically found in mainstream LGBT+ media.
As anticipated, Dev Patel shines brilliantly as an action star in the first trailer. He exudes a raw, ferocious intensity befitting a formidable action hero while also conveying an emotional vulnerability that encapsulates his character's traumatic past. Sikandar Kher and Makarand Deshpande deliver compelling performances as the antagonists, showcasing their formidable acting chops. However, their characters are somewhat underutilized, particularly Deshpande, who remains mostly in the shadows over 95% of the film. There's a yearning for a deeper exploration of his character beyond merely being a background figure. On a contrasting note, Vipin Sharma's unexpected presence brings a comforting warmth and love to the screen.
In summary, "Monkey Man" packs a powerful punch as Dev Patel establishes himself in the action genre. While the film may have its shaky moments, it brims with passion and creativity. It's evident that Patel is still honing his craft, but this marks a commendable debut for the first-time director.  I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. 
On another note, how is it possible for a man who works at an underground flight club, to still have one of the most beautiful faces in the world despite being beaten to a pulp every night? Someone teach me this sorcery. 
My Rating: B

If you don't mind, can we have (some of) the diaboys spying on azushin date?
I got a liiiiiittle confused on how I wanted to answer this (considering I did post the third part of the twitter au xmas based on @azusamarryme idea of there being a reveal to azusa and shin dating which i love them for that idea so THANKS LOL) so here's what I'll do for this: I'll put the top five diaboys who WOULD spy on this azushin date and how they feel (if they are yay or nay and why) and how they spy//how did they find this out (I am not sure if this is what you wanted so I do apologize!!)
5) Shu
This is a little stupid but to be honest, I think Shu and Azusa fairly get along, they aren't like best friends or friends in general, but he's alright with him. As for a relation between Shu and Shin, he finds him annoying, so the reaction he has when the words of them dating (Azusa and Shin) gets around, he honestly could care less
He isn't yay and he isn't nay about it, Shu is neutral
The way Shu found this out was through media, mostly through Laito and Kou.
Does Shu really spy on Azusa and Shin on their date? No, not really, he might show up to the place by himself and sit afar to get a good vision, but he might fall asleep if he's bored
4) Ayato AND Laito (Duo thing baby)
Ayato HATES Shin but they do get along with minor things (drugs, im sorry, both of them smoke and get high so that is there hobby, you are free to leave LMAO) Ayato's relation with Azusa is nothing much, Azusa will bother Ayato to beat him and shit and Ayato gets weirded out, that's all
Laito actually likes Azusa, he'll flirt with the kid to be a tease and Yuma holds his urge not to put Laito six feet under with Hades. He isn't very fond of Shin but does make dirty jokes with him which sails poorly
Ayato is not yay or nay, he's nosy and that is clear as DAY
Laito is yay about this, he thinks it's a very...Odd yet interesting pair to see a Mukami with a Tsukinami, so he'll support it anyways!
Both Ayato and Laito hear about this rumor through media and it's Ayato's idea to go full ninja to see this Azushin date for himself, dragging Laito with him (They're both not very sneaky and suspicion rises when they try to spy left alone)
3) Ruki
Of course, Azusa and Ruki have a strong bond, they're brothers, they've been through the trauma, AMAZING BOND! Ruki and Shin don't even talk to one another a lot, so it's a very dull and shallow relation socially
This...This is a shock, he doesn't believe for a minute UNTIL Azusa himself says he's going out, so Ruki doesn't even know HIMSELF if he wants to support this or not, it is Shin and he is the First Blood. He leans more to the nay because he wants his youngest brother safe, Shin is a powerful guy (we've seen the games or played them i'm sure) and Ruki knows what Shin is capable of. If it makes Azusa happy, he will try his best to support them
Kou comes SCREAMING about this when he finds out and this is how Ruki catches onto the rumor
He doesn't dare to eavesdrop, that isn't his style, he let's someone else do it for him (whether that may be one of his other brothers or even sending Yui to do it herself)
2) Kou
Yes...Kou is second in this, him and Azusa have a WICKED good bond! They'll do things together and if anything, Azusa likes to be around Kou the most in school (this is just my own idea) Kou and Shin don't clash but they don't mix into a good paste of being friends, Kou likes to tease Shin and Shin does it back, it's nothing huge
YAY, YAY, YAY ALL THE FUCKING WAY- KOU IS SO HAPPY THAT AZUSA IS GOING ON A DATE, HE SUPPORTS IT! He was a little nay when Azusa only tells him it was a date with Shin, he has the big brother instinct and, sam as Ruki, is a bit unsettled with it being a Founder, but he hardly cares
Kou finds out by Azusa telling him (the bby had no one else to go to who would really understand) and Kou is actually the whole damn start over the media posting about this event, HE WAS SIKED FOR HIS BROTHER
He does eavesdrop BUT from afar, he keeps his distance, Ruki told him not to but he wasn't in much control because it's Kou (he wouldn't really listen)
1) Carla
Carla and Azusa do not have a bond socially, Carla sometimes is scared of Azusa based on his masochist behavior but that subides easily. Carla and Shin, obviously, are close, they aren't tight like normal brothers, but they do care for each other as the last Founders alive
What? Azusa and Shin have a date? This was a joke to Carla, it really was, he didn't believe this line of shit fo a SECOND on the media. He started to believe when Shin said he was going out for plans he made, THAT was the kicker for him. It's a huge, FAT NAY for Carla, for a Founder to be in love and go on a date with a vampire made him sick, of course he was against it- it ruins the overall plan to bring up the bloodline again and the whole population that once succumbed
This is how he found out ^^^^
Carla sends familiar EVERYWHERE, they track down Shin's scent and watch from a safe distance, they'll even report every FIVE MINUTES with what is going on currently and when Shin gets back, he is in for a TALK

⚠️ IL LEGGENDARIO ARTISTA MARZIALE DONNIE YEN È UN MEMBRO DELLA CONFERENZA CONSULTIVA POLITICA DEL POPOLO CINESE ⚠️
🚩 Tra i Delegati del Comitato Nazionale della Conferenza Consultiva Politica del Popolo Cinese per la Regione Amministrativa Speciale di Hong Kong vi è anche Yen Ji-dan, più noto come Donnie Yen, Artista Marziale e Attore, che lavorerà nel Settore "Letteratura e Arti" del massimo Organo Consultivo della Repubblica Popolare Cinese 🇨🇳
🇨🇳 Nato a Guangzhou, nel Guangdong, nel 1963, Yen Ji-dan ha partecipato, per la prima volta, alle Due Sessioni di Marzo 2023 come Delegato della CCPPC, e ha dichiarato che - come Artista Marziale e Attore - fornirà suggerimenti e lavorerà per attrarre investimenti per film d'azione Cinesi che possano raccontare al meglio lo Spirito (精神) e l'Orgoglio (自豪) del Popolo Cinese 🐲
🎬 Inoltre, ha dichiarato che sarà sempre più selettivo nelle sue apparizioni in quanto Artista Marziale nei film Occidentali, e che sceglierà solamente ruoli rispettosi nei confronti della Cina, della Cultura Cinese e del Popolo Cinese 🇨🇳
🇨🇳 Bruce Lee («Un eroe!» | Mao Zedong), Jackie Chan (Membro della CCPPC 2013 - 2023) e Jet Li hanno portato in Occidente la Maestria delle Arti Marziali Cinesi, ha dichiarato Yen, che ha poi condiviso il suo stupore per il sentimento anti-Cinese e la visione negativa della Cina nei film Occidentali, spesso legati a stereotipi sinofobi 😡
📺 Nel 2023, è uscito il film "John Wick: Chapter 4", di cui Yen ha preso parte nel ruolo di Caine, artista marziale e assassino estremamente abile, amico-avversario del personaggio interpretato da Keanu Reeves 💕
💬 "La maggior parte delle persone al di fuori della Cina non vede il nostro progresso finché non viene qui: le autostrade, l'architettura, la comodità della vita: i media Occidentali si concentrano solo sulle storie negative sulla Cina, non parlano mai del nostro progresso, non menzionano mai la realtà della Cina" 🇨🇳

⚠️ LEGENDARY MARTIAL ARTIST DONNIE YEN IS A MEMBER OF CHINESE PEOPLE'S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE ⚠️
🚩 Among the Delegates of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is also Yen Ji-dan, better known as Donnie Yen, Martial Artist and Actor, who will work in the "Literature and Arts" Sector of the highest Advisory Body of the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳
🇨🇳 Born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, 1963, Yen Ji-dan first attended the March 2023 Two Sessions as a Delegate of the CPPCC, and stated that - as a Martial Artist and Actor - he will provide suggestions and work to attract investments for Chinese action films that can best tell the Spirit (精神) and the Pride (自豪) of the Chinese People 🐲
🎬 Also, he stated that he will be more and more selective in his appearances as a Martial Artist in Western movies, and that he will only choose roles that are respectful towards China, Chinese Culture and Chinese People 🇨🇳
🇨🇳 Bruce Lee ("A hero!" | Mao Zedong), Jackie Chan (CCPCC Member 2013 - 2023) and Jet Li brought Chinese Martial Arts Mastery to the West, said Yen, who then shared his amazement for the anti-Chinese sentiment and negative view of China in Western films, often linked to Sinophobic stereotypes 😡
📺 In 2023, the film "John Wick: Chapter 4" was released, in which Yen took part in the role of Caine, an extremely skilled martial artist and assassin, friend-opponent of the character played by Keanu Reeves 💕
💬 "Most people outside of China don't see our progress until they come here: the highways, the architecture, the convenience of life: Western media only focus on the negative stories about China, never talk about the our progress, they never mention the reality of China" 🇨🇳

Here's the thing. My comfort media is not easily consumable for me. I have a hard time reading for long periods of time because a little over a year ago, I lost central vision in one eye when my retina and cornea decided that divorce was the only option. So I often settle for the movies but let me shout from the rooftops once again that
The Hunger Games only passably translated well to film.
I love those books with all the fire in my soul and I'm sad that the movies are seen through a Capitol lens (I know y'all know what I mean). And Peeta is one of my top 5 comfort characters of all time... and I'm old so I have had time to find so many good characters. I love that imaginary little guy more than it is reasonable and marathoning the audiobooks or movies have gotten me through some really wicked times.
In not unrelated news, if you love someone who doesn't remember you... i'm so sorry. Also, hug your grandmothers.
