READY OR NOT (2019)

💁‍♀️Strong Female Lead

A+ acting to all involved and our leading lady is a knockout. Aesthetically pleasing to look at, if not confusing at times but fun. (This film gives strong YOU’RE NEXT vibes.) Worth a watch and, dare I say, a rewatch down the line. Is the twist a little questionable? Yes, but so are rich people in general so I’m going to let it slide because, again, this movie was fun and continued to have something to say right up until the very end. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The two main things I wasn’t prepared for in this film were the Satan worship and the fact that the bandolier of bullets was fake and didn’t actually help our lead at any point during the film (which is wild to me because it made such good promo photos), but I digress. We start out with the wedding, it is picturesque and something most people would die for (ha). Our happy bride, Grace, is missing some details that her new hubby, Alex, left out about his mega-rich family, like how they made a deal with the devil and now have to play killing games (sometimes? Sometimes it is just a card game, I guess). Grace obviously doesn’t take this well (hysterical women, am I right, fellas?) and is very mad at Alex! But there is no time for that because the game is afoot!

Grace realizes this is very real and very serious when one of the family members accidentally kills a maid (the cleaning staff are expendable, obviously) and Alex admits the crazy truth. There is a sort of tender moment when he says that he would have lost her if he didn’t agree to marry her and play the game and he is right which is crazy but also THIS IS CRAZY. I don’t fully understand why there is no way for the bride to win though, with the other games the new spouse can win or lose but Hide and Seek = Death no matter what? Who made that hard and fast rule (the devil, I guess, but work with me). Alex and Grace have to separate (because that will save her?) and Grace gets a gun and the bullet bandolier (sigh).

The bullets in the bandolier are fake and Grace is in trouble again almost immediately but luckily no one knows how to use the weapons they have (they were given out largely at random) so Grace is able to gracelessly slip by and Alex’s brother, Daniel, helps Grace out but only a little (he is only a little bit of a nice guy) and at this point all the maids have been killed by the family or the house. Outside now, Grace has a new chance to escape, and one of the kids fucking SHOOTS HER in the hand. WACK. She pops him good in the face and he’s down for the count, speaking of, Grace falls down into the body pit and just barely makes it out. (This scene has Resident Evil 7 all over it).

The butler tracks her down and she fights him for the car but drives away without killing him and all I could think was, “run him over.” “Hobble him.” Says Annie Wilkes from MISERY, but there is no way in hell I would have let that man follow me, I would have ran over his legs with that damn car. But that wasn’t in the script, so she had to get got by him again, get saved by brother Daniel, he then sacrifices himself, Grace bludgeons the mom to death, and then the OTHER twist! Alex turns on GRACE. Alex realizes that Grace doesn’t or won’t love him anymore so he grabs her and offers her up to his satanic family which is CRAZY. Grace has started to let out this ululating scream at this point from her voice being strained but also the sheer horror of the last person on earth she trusted betraying her and I FELT IT in my gut. 

This primal screaming is kept up until nearly the end of the film, it comes from her chest and resonates in her throat. It has to hurt and it reminds me of the raw emotion from MIDSOMMAR. Finally the sun rises and all the evil family implode since they failed to give the sacrifice to big daddy Satan and Grace can’t help but smile.

She walks out of the burning building and smokes a cigarette.

Cut to black, end of movie.

Will you...?

--- January 14th, 2023 ---

Alex: It started raining once Alex was leaving the store in London and it wasn’t really a fun drive back to the house, not in the rain and with the winds. He knew everyone would be cooped up inside, no dog wanted to be out in this weather. He dreaded getting out of the car once he had parked, but he still faced the gusty wind and hurried inside. “Fucking hell,” he muttered, his clothes drenched from the rain even thought it had only been a few steps outside. Alex placed down the bag with the paper weight, kicked off his shoes and made sure he had the little box securely placed in his pants pocket before hanging up his coat to dry. “You know, I rather it was snowing out here than this rain,” he muttered as he entered the living room where he assumed Sophie was.

Sophie: The day had been a mix of excitement for all the things Alex was doing with his music that was coming out and keeping an eye on the promo and a relatively lazy day that turned into super lazy evening as the rain started. It was something Sophie was so used to that it was calming and peaceful to her. She had gotten the babies, all three, down for naps finally and had just brought out a bottle of wine to have a glass and put on a movie when the door opened. Seeing Alex come in she turned her head giggling seeing him semi wet from the downpouring raining. “Aw but the rain is so much better. It’s so relaxing and romantic and calming. We can curl up in the couch, snuggle in some blankets and listen to the sound of the rain and just lay here.” She suggested. “How was it our promoting?” She asked, “where are the guys they didn’t come back with you?”

Alex: He glanced up at Sophie's words and noticed the giggle leaving her lips. "How’s the rain more romantic than snow, huh?” he asked, shaking his head and water was dripping off of the strands of his hair. “It was really good,” he told her and then shook his head. “Nah, Zack said something about meeting Annie and exploring London – which is such a stupid idea in this rain,” he said, bringing the bag he’d brought into the living room with him and around the couch to sit down on the other corner of it from where Sophie had been resting. “I don’t know what Jack and Rian are up to,” Alex added with a shrug. Truth was he’d been so busy in his own mind, that he hadn’t listened to what they told him they were gonna be doing. “Kids down for a nap?”

Sophie: “Yes the rain is more romantic than snow have you ever seen the kisses in rain on movies how romantic they are? Sure snow kisses are cute but rain is the good stuff.” She teased. “I’m glad Annie finally is back working with us and that Zack and her seem to be on track and happy.” She loved that they seemed to have blossomed and we’re getting closer and more serious. “Oh I’m sure rian and jack will show up eventually then when they get bored.” Shaking her head because she knew it was true. She watched him set a bag down but didn’t really pay attention to it. “They are finally took forever they should be out for a few hours.”

Alex: "Yeah, you're not getting me to kiss you in the rain, because this," he motioned to the window and then down to himself, "is no fun. My pants are literally stuck to my skin because they’re so wet.” Which thinking about it was such a bad idea to be sitting on the couch, so he got up, glanced around to see whether or not he’d left a wet spot on the couch, but it was mostly the front of it that was wet, so he settled back down to rest for a moment. “I told you they were fine,” he chuckled at the mention of Zack and Annie. “Still don’t see how it’d be fun to explore the city right now.. Except maybe if they just lurk around places and make out,” he grinned slightly and his eyes fell on the bag on the table, a scoffed laugh escaping his lips as he shook his head at how ridiculous this whole thing at really been, now looking back at it at least. “I got you something,” he said to Sophie, chuckling at the randomness of it now.

Sophie: “I didn’t say you have to kiss me in the rain today but someday. Someday you’ll kiss me in the rain.” Teasing as she shook her head. “You could go get changed and take your pants off so you’re more comfortable and you know dry babe.” She glanced up at him crinkling her nose, “see Zack kisses his girl in the pouring rain.” She teased pouting out her lower lip. When he said he got her something she raised her brow. “You got me something? A present? Is it a snack?” Because it would be totally on brand for him to bring her food.

Alex: "Yeah, not to burst your bubble, but I don't think that's gonna happen," he laughed softly, though he was fully aware that if she was determined to kiss him in the rain, he would. Brushing his hands over his pants as if that would wipe away the wetness, Alex felt the little bulge from the tiny box and shook his head. “I will, just let me sit with you for a moment.” He rolled his eyes when Sophie said Zack was kissing his girl in the rain. “Oh please, you can’t tell me you rather want me kissing you in the downpour in some dark alley in London than have me curl up with you here, watch Harry Potter and make out some,” he said with a grin. He nodded as he questioned him giving her a present but then laughed. “No, no. There’s no food… I should’ve brought you food, right? But you’re gonna love this,” he said with a grin and shifted to lean forward a bit, picking up the bag and holding it out for her.

Sophie: “We’ll see about that never say never.” She pointed out. When he said to let him sit with her for a moment she shrugged, “okay sit in wet pants and be uncomfy then.” She joked as she shifted on the couch. “I mean I’m always out to make out and watch some Harry Potter. I even have the stuff to make spiked butterbeers.” She said which would be fun to add to their movie watch. Taking the bag she looked at it, it didn’t give away much and she dug into it finding a wrapped package that was heavy. “Alright you know Christmas was like almost a month ago.” She teased as she opened the package and dropped the crystal paperweight out into her hand. “A paperweight?” She asked “I mean it’s a gorgeous crystal but… what.. why? I’m confused.” She chuckled. “Is this for my office when we get back home?”

Alex: "Oh, you're making me want a spiked butterbeer right now. Can we do that, watch Harry Potter and have spiked butterbeers?” he asked with a chuckle. That sounded so much more appealing to him than going out in the rain just to kiss, something they could happily do inside and not get drenched in the rain. He laughed when she reminded him Christmas was a couple weeks ago and he shrugged. “Yeah, I know. This isn’t for Christmas. It’s not for your birthday either,” he added with a grin. The look on her face was pure confusion and he shifted, laughing softly and shaking his head. “No. No, I wasn’t really.. this is actually a funny story because I wasn’t really looking for, well, a paper weight,” he told her, brushing his fingers through his wet strands of her to mess it up some more, tugging at it lightly. “See I was looking for something entirely different, but then the lady kept offering me things that just weren’t right and I wanted to leave but she’d tried so hard to sell me something that I couldn’t just leave without buying anything, y’know?” Like that really made any sense to her, he knew it probably wasn’t as funny when you hadn’t been there. “See, I was just ready to leave with this paper weight I had no idea what to do with, but then I found this, and it just..” he trailed off, shifting to pluck the little ring box from his pocket and taking a brief moment to look at it. “I saw it on my way out and I knew this had to be the one.”

Sophie: “Yes we can have spiked butterbeers and Harry Potter.” She said because it made it for a good night of cuddling up while the babies slept. He started making a point that this wasn’t even something he planned it buy but that he had to buy something given he had been in this place for awhile apparently. Which she didn’t have a clue what he was talking about. She watched him shift and then she saw it a small box come out of his pocket and she felt herself feel like she stopped breathing. That was a jewelry box and Alex holding a jewelry box and talking so all over the place she didn’t think it was just some necklace in there. “Had to be the one…?” She questioned terrified to get her hopes up of what she thought that was. “Alex…” she whispered looking up at him.

Alex: He was rambling, he knew he was and for a moment Alex wasn’t even sure he made any kind of sense to Sophie. He looked up from the ring box when she said his name and he swallowed, suddenly feeling the nerves that clearly had him already talking all over the place and he took a breath, sitting up a little bit straighter before opening the box to reveal the ring that had caught his attention when he was just about to leave the store. “You see, I don’t really have any words prepared or anything, but I just..” he trailed off and looked up at Sophie again from the ring and held the ring out to her. “Will you marry me, Soph?” he asked, and it was almost a plead now, not that he really thought she’d say no, but suddenly he started overthinking this and maybe he figured she deserved so much more than a paperweight and a ring on a random, rainy weekend just outside of London.

Sophie: There was the little soft pop of the box open, the glint of sparkle when the light hit the ring. It was a ring. Almost immediately everything felt like it was spinning. It was something she never expected, she had planned to never get this and be fully happy being alexs partner. Then the words asking her to marry him and immediately her eyes welled with tears, but the smile gave it away her hands covering her face as she started to nod. “Yes. Yes. Yes.” Her body moving and crawling over him straddling his lap not caring about his wet pants. “Yes a million times yes for the rest of my life I will marry you.” She said tears falling heavily from her eyes now.

Alex: For a brief second Alex saw Sophie tear up and his brain immediately started panicking until he heard her say 'yes' over and over again and he relaxed. He felt her moving into him, her body straddling hers and he almost dropped the box with the ring as he wrapped his arms around her tightly, then loosened his grip to bring his free hand up to her face and wipe at the tears. "I don't think you have any idea how much I love you," he murmured, brushing his thumb over her cheek and he locked his eyes with her teary ones.

Sophie: Tears continued to fall down her face, pure happy ones but she was definitely sobbing and shaking as he wrapped his arm around her before bringing his hand up to wipe her face even if more tears fell. “I am so in love with you Alex.” She breathed, “I.. I never thought you would want this but I want nothing more than to be your wife someday.” She breathed more tears falling from her eyes as she leaned her forehead forward. “You made this one of the best days of my life it’s perfect.”

Alex: His thumb continued to brush against her cheek in an attempt to wipe her tears that really just kept coming. He sighed softly, nervousness leaving him finally and he closed his eyes when her forehead rested against his. The way she said she'd want nothing more than to be his wife someday made him realize that she was absolutely willing to give him time. He'd offered her his hand and he knew she wouldn't keep tugging at it until she'd get the whole arm. She wanted to get married, but he knew she would've just spent the rest of her life with him without marriage if he hadn't wanted it and so he knew she wouldn't pressure him to marry her tomorrow if he wasn't ready for that yet. And that realization alone had him even more sure this was what he wanted. He leaned in after a moment, capturing her mouth in a kiss, tasting the salty tears on her lips and smiling softly into it.

Sophie: She knew that Alex didn’t like when she cried but she imagined this once he was okay with it given it was happy tears. Sophie didn’t know or right now care when they got married. This, this itself was a huge step and Alex was screaming to the whole world look at this woman I want to be my wife. They would figure out those bits together. Sophie loved Alex every bit of him even the parts that were unsure about marriage and forever. She understood his worry about them. But she was so sure about him, had never felt more sure about anything than Alex was her person. The person you hoped you found to spend your life with. His lips captured hers and she kissed him crying into the kiss because she was just so in shock and happy.

Alex: The kiss was wet from Sophie's tears and when he finally broke away, Alex felt like he had stains from them on his own cheeks. He wiped at her eyes again gently, eyes lingering on her face before he dropped his hand and unwrapped his arm from around her to bring the little box with the ring between them. "Give me your hand," he said softly and when she did, he took the ring from the box to slide it onto her finger.

Sophie: She felt Alex shift and his body pull back before he shifted the little box and told her to give him her hand. Her hand shook as he took it softly and took the ring ands slid it onto her finger. It was the perfect fit, the ring was perfect and she loved it but she loved the man who had given her the ring so much more. “I love you so much. Oh my god you’re going to be my husband someday.” She beamed before kissing him.

Alex: Alex had worried the ring wouldn’t fit, that they’d have to go back and find the right size or get it resized so she wouldn’t lose it, but it seemed to fit just right. Sophie’s hand was shaking, but he managed to put the ring on and then took her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze and smiling widely at her, eyes locking on her again. “I.. yeah, that’s why I got you the ring,” he said and a soft chuckle left his lips. He dropped his hands to her legs and shifted a little, realizing the way she was sitting on him now, she was for sure getting wet by the soaked pants he was still wearing. “You’re getting your clothes all wet.”

Sophie: The ring fit perfectly and the one he picked was just what she could dream of. Honestly it wasn’t even about the ring but the fact that he wanted life with her forever. “I just… I didn’t expect this like not now but I don’t know I didn’t think it would happen and you want me to be your wife you really do and that just.” The tears fell again. “I don’t care if they’re wet I just want to be close to you.” She breathed leaning into him. “I love you. I love you so much.”

Alex: He laughed softly and nuzzled his nose against hers briefly. “If it makes you feel any better I didn’t think I’d be proposing to you today when I left for work this morning,” he admitted, reaching up again to try and wipe at her face again as the tears started streaming again. “The wet clothes are gonna be so uncomfortable,” Alex murmured, but he really didn’t want to move right now anyway. He let out a soft breath, pressing a kiss to her cheek as she leaned into him more. “I love you too, baby. I really, really love you.”

Sophie: She laughed, “so what changed the spur of the mind you need to marry me or at least officially make me engaged to you?” Of course she was curious but she hadn’t seen this coming a million miles away. “We’ll we can take our pants off if you like then we’ll both be less wet together.” She offered since she figured he was saying he was uncomfortable. “I know you do you’ve sacrificed so much that I know you don’t always feel comfortable with and it means the world to me I hope you know.” She said softly. “Have you told the boys? Are we gonna tell our parents?”

Alex: “You bring out the best in me,” he said simply, a smile tugging at his lips. He played the whole day in his mind again and shrugged his shoulders a little. “They were asking me about what it was like directing, how it came about. I guess I might’ve mention how you just.. I don’t know, told me I could do it, y’know?” He murmured and tried to recreate the moment for her. “Apparently the boys found that all funny and then Jack said something ‘bout marrying you and it just.. It was all in my head,” he said with a shrug and licked his lips a little. “I just knew I wanted you. And I want everything for you.” When Sophie said something about how they could take off their pants, he laughed. “There’s nothing wrong about you and me being wet together,” he smirked, but the drenched pants really were kind of uncomfortable. “Oh fuck,” Alex groaned when Sophie asked about their parents and he let himself fall back against the back of the couch. “I should’ve totally asked your dad for his okay before I asked you to marry me.. shouldn’t I?” he sighed out loudly.

Sophie: There was a small laugh, “so the idea of someone else marrying me… even as a joke and you realized that was it, I’m the one for you?” It was sweet actually that sometimes it happened when you least expected it. When he said he wanted everything for her she smiled he cared so much about her and her happiness. “Yeah yeah wet together has a whole other meaning to you I meant your pants babe.” She shook her head. “No you didn’t have to ask my dad if it’s okay to marry me he loves you. He loves that you gave us three happy healthy babies. Trust me he wants you to be part of the family.” She said.

Alex: “It’s stupid, I know,” he chuckled. “It’s not that I haven’t thought about marrying you though,” he told her softly. “I may have been drunk, but I do remember giving you a paper ring the other day.” Really, that was kind of him testing out how it felt, though at the time he had clearly not thought he’d actually propose two weeks later. “You can’t tell me you weren’t thinking about that at all,” Alex laughed, but he did know what she actually meant. Falling back against the couch, he sighed and then lifted his head enough again to look at Sophie. “I obviously can’t ask him now. What would I even say? Hi, I’d like to marry your daughter please, and you can’t say no because she already said yes?”

Sophie: "I know I'm not saying it never crossed your mind but I know you made sacrifices in buying a house in England to spend time in and I would have made the same sacrifices for you too if you never felt comfortable with marriage again." She understood it better than at the beginning of their relationship. Rolling her eyes, "Babe you've already won major brownie points if you want to get laid you will have no problem getting laid tonight." she said clearing that up. "You don't even have to ask him babe, that's super old and traditional and we've never exactly been traditional. All I know is I want to be yours and marry you someday and that's all that matters. My mum and dad are going to be so over the moon about it. I just hope your mum and dad will be." she said because she wanted everyone to be happy. "Let alone the boys they're going to actually freak the fuck out when they find out."

Alex: “I know that,” he said with a smile. And really, he though that maybe that was exactly the reason he felt comfortable with the idea of marriage if it was with her. He laughed softly and shook his head. “Just to be clear, I didn’t get the ring just so I’d get laid tonight,” he smirked, leaning in for a quick kiss and relaxing from that first moment of being terrified about not talking to Sophie’s dad first. “Course my parents are gonna be happy. And I do think we gotta tell them. Don’t really wanna go through a phone call because they saw something about it on the internet before hearing it from us.” He was aware Sophie wasn’t going to take the ring off when she went outside, and he definitely didn’t want her to anyway, but that meant anyone taking their picture would see. “Ha, don’t think they’re gonna believe it until they see the ring,” Alex laughed.

Sophie: She didn't know if it was just time or it really had been someone saying about marrying her that had made the realizations pop in Alex's mind but she didn't care. She was his, forever now. "I know you didn't get the ring to get laid last time I checked you can get laid pretty damn easy without a ring." she teased giggling softly. She nodded, "I mean I know I rather tell them in person but we don't know when we'll be back in Baltimore so maybe tomorrow we can facetime them, and surprise them?" she murmured. "We can tell my parents at Sunday dinner." she offered. "Well good thing I'll be wearing the ring when they see me." she murmured before glancing up and back at him. "They're not coming back right away are they?" she raised a brow a smirk tugging at her lips.

Alex: "Any way you wanna tell them works for me," he said with a soft chuckle, eyes lingering on her with a smile playing on his lips. He was a little surprised at her question and shrugged his shoulders. “I have no idea. I feel like they said something about it, but I was kind of not really listening,” he murmured. “But they have keys so if you’re trying to get into my pants right here right now, that’s so not gonna happen,” he teased.

Sophie: "I mean we could be quick babe, I kind of would love to have an intimate moment alone with my fiance." she quipped using the word for the first time, "Plus this is our home and you just proposed to me babe and I'm all kinds of emotions and I need a healthy and good way to burn that energy out." she reasoned, "Then we can worry about telling our parents because right now we deserve to enjoy it."

Alex: "Yeah, but if they just barge in, that's not gonna be an intimate moment alone,” he reminded her, biting down on his lower lip. “If you’re willing to move this into another room, preferably one we can lock,” he said, “then I would be happy to finally get out of these pants.” Alex chuckled softly, grinning slightly at her. “I’d offer to carry you too if you tell me where to go.”

Sophie: "This is why we shouldn't give them keys and make them knock because I kind of don't want to wait." she huffed, but she understood his concern but she hoped he could understand her frustration. "Down here the kids won't wake up if I end up making noise." she pointed out, so it really was a conundrum. Her mind tried to think of another room but she didn't want to just go upstairs to their bedroom they had been pretty much only keeping to their bedroom lately when home. "I don't know maybe we should just wait then." she suggested because if they came home anyway it would disrupt the moment with them yelling through the house for them.

Alex: “Don’t blame me. You heard how they were whining about what to do if they came back here and we wouldn’t open up for them,” he chuckled softly, but he could hear the obvious frustration in Sophie’s voice and he shifted to sit up straighter, wrapping his arms around her. “Wait until when? They’re all back here and occupying half the rooms in here?” He grimaced a little bit and shook his head. “I mean we could just make out until they get here, but that’s so not the same,” he murmured. To make his point though, he leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss, deepening that slightly before he shifted, guiding her legs to wrap around his waist as he started to get off the couch, picking her up with him. Holding her up, a grin curled onto his lips as he started to walk, making their way to the bathroom that was downstairs, letting Sophie down once he’d slipped into the room and locking the door behind them, just to be safe. He glanced at Sophie before moving to the shower and starting the warm water. “I know it’s not exactly kissing in the rain, but…”

Sophie: "I meant wait until they go out again, that might mean no sex until another day but sometimes that's how it goes with guests in the house." she reasoned. "When have we ever been able to make out and not end up fooling around or more?" At the very least heavy petting ended up involved and then frustration from not getting what they wanted and she didn't want frustration on one of the happiest moments of her life. She felt him kiss her and shift her legs till they were wrapped around him. It took him a second to slide up and then off the couch with her wrapped around him, her arms around his neck. When he got into the downstairs bathroom she felt herself put down and the door locked before he started running the shower. "I mean it's kind of like kissing in the rain just a more controlled environment." she chuckled before pulling him in. "You're gonna be my husband someday." she mewled, "Do you know how hot that sounds, Alex Gaskarth my husband?"

Alex: "That might never happen," he laughed, knowing very well just how much the boys enjoyed hanging out in their house, especially this London one right here. He knew she was right though, they rarely managed to make out and not end up wanting more. Though he still leaned in to kiss her and started to shift to get up with her, carrying her into the bathroom. Once the door was locked, he turned back towards her, grinning slightly before starting the shower and shrugging his shoulders a little bit. “It’s as much as you’ll get for a kiss in the rain right now,” he laughed softly, letting her tug him in easily. “Mmh, you know that means you’ll end up with the same last name as our kids.. as me?” he asked. “I mean.. if that’s what you want of course. I can’t say I really considered changing /my/ name yet but I guess it’d give me even more reason to change my occupation to pirate,” he grinned. “You know.. Alexander /William Turner/?”

Sophie: She knew the boys loved staying at their place when they were here and she really didn't mind. Aside when she couldn't get laid in her own living room or kitchen because they could just walk in but you know, they'd make the best of it. "It's about time I got the same name as our kids, I mean I took the time to grow three of them and they just got your name, I had to do all the actual growing." she teased. When he mentioned changing his occupation to pirate with taking her last name she rolled her eyes. "I'll keep Turner for my stage name, just for legalities with acting but legally I'll take Gaskarth. Plus my brother is William Turner and that's just weird." she crinkled her nose, "You'll have to live out your pirate fantasy another way." she teased as she shifted and pulled her top off and tossed it onto the floor before unhooking her bra and letting it fall to the ground.

Alex: “Oh so you’re not even going to consider letting me take your name?” he asked, but he really was just joking. If she really was considering keeping her name, he knew he’d be open enough to talk the options they had, but with it being such a given that their kids had been given his last name, he assumed Sophie would be okay with it too. “Fineeeee,” he said with a long, exaggerated sigh, “I’ll just go back to being a knight.” He checked the water and then grinned when he turned to see her almost halways undressed. “And here I thought you wanted the full experience of kissing “in the rain”,” he teased, moving over to wrap his hands around her waist and tugging her in. “Let me take the rest of your clothes off..”

Sophie: "I mean if you want to be Alex Turner, I am not going to stop you but I will be Sophie Gaskarth while you're Alex Turner." she teased. "I mean you're my knight in shining armor, or tin foil depending on the day." she giggled shaking her head. "Why get our clothes wet if we're not actually going to be in the rain babe, that's just extra work." she said as he pulled her in and held her close to him. "Mm undress me all you want. I'm yours."

Alex: "Nah, I'm good. I'd make a terrible pirate anyway. Except that would be the perfect excuse to be drunk every day," he said with a laugh. He really didn't want to actually be drunk every day anyway. "Well I'm not taking you out in the rain now," he teased as she dropped her bra and he moved over to tug her into him. He leaned on, capturing her lips in a kiss, letting it linger and he slid his hands around her more until they came around to the front and he started undoing the pants to the proceed to take them off.

Sophie: When he said aside from the drunk part she rolled her eyes. “No being drunk every day.” She said shaking her head. “I didn’t think you’d take me out in the rain topless but I’m also not gonna get laid in the rain so this will have to do.” It made sense to her not that their house was around anyone for acres and they had had sex outside in their other home before but it was the middle of winter. His hands came around and unbuttoned the pants she was wearing before pushing them down and stepping out of them her mouth still lingering slowly in languid kisses against his mouth.

Alex: He was much happier kissing and making out with her here than outside in the pouring rain, but really he was starting to be done talking and more interested in getting closer to her. While they kissed he stepped forward, backing Sophie up until she reached a wall and he momentarily trapped her between that and himself. He felt a little breathless when he broke away, but only to tug off his shirt and toss it away, his lips were soon on hers again, hungry now.

Sophie: She loved getting to kiss him, savor in him, but this was their first time getting to be with each other since putting that ring on her finger. Feeling him walk her back step by step until she was pinned against a wall. Once his shirt was off she herself pushed back and her mouth consumed his as she pushed him gently into the shower the water falling down on them even though he still wasn't fully undressed. The water poured down over them as her mouth moved heavily against each other.

Alex: He only briefly caught her against the wall, their lips busy moving against each other the whole time before he broke away, very briefly so to tug his shirt off. As they kissed again it was Sophie pressing him back now ans he happily let hed move him backwards until they were in the shower and he felt the warm water pouring over them. "Soph," he groaned softly into their kiss. He eas still wearing his pants and they were getting increasingly uncomfortable, both from the way the wet fabric stuck to his skin and from how tight they shddenly seemed to feel.

Sophie: Their lips moved against each other and she couldn't help but back him into the shower. Her hands moved down and grasped his waistband, pulling him forward and starting to unbutton them. "We need to get you out of these pants." She murmured the water soaking them even more as they clung to his skin. Her hands pulled and yanked at the fabric down his legs, pulling down his boxer briefs with them as she got them down enough and used her leg and foot to push her pants down to the bottom so he could step out of them as he pulled her into him and pushed herself up against the wall.

Alex: "Yes," he murmured into their kiss as he felt Sophie starting to tug at the waistband of his pants and soon she was pushing them down, which was a pain because they stuck against his skin with how wet they were, but they managed. The moment the pants and boxer briefs were low enough he kicked them off and tossed them out of the way with his food. Stepping more into Sophie, she ended up backed against the wall and his hands slid over her body, one hand coming to rest against her thigh and pulling her leg up so he could step more into her and she could wrap her leg around him.

Sophie: Her back was against the tile, water pouring down over them as their mouths consumed each other. The mouth of her future husband kissing her as if she was his air was enough to send chills down her skin and a moan to come out of her lips into his mouth. His hand gripped her leg and pulled it up, him stepping into her, her hands grasping low on his back, almost his bottom and pulling his hips into her as she groaned out feeling him against her, "Fuck, baby." she breathed her hand sliding up his back before tangling into his brunette hair.

Alex: Where they were often just hands and bodies consuming each other they focused on the kissing for now. Which didn't mean Alex didn't let his hand wander and managed to step closer into her by lifting her leg around him, pressing his hips into hers. He felt Sophie's hands on him sliding up his back and tangling in his hair and he groaned into their kiss, rolling his hips against hers, eager to feel more of her. "Fuck," he cursed out between kisses, his hand running down her chest and stomach to slide between them and adjust them, so with another roll of his hips he could bury his length into her.

Sophie: Their kissing was heavy, like they couldn't get enough of each other. She was so in love with the man who had told her just how much he wanted her to be his forever. His hips rolled against her and her head tipped back against the tiled wall, cursing out feeling his slide between her, eyes fluttering closed and breathing heavy. When his hand adjusted himself his length slipped into almost so eager to take him as she angled her hips up filling her to the fullest, her fingers pulling at his wet locks, "Yes!" she breathed out.

Alex: It was easy to tell how much they wanted each other, how easily they were consumed by their kisses until they shifted and Alex could finally bury himself inside of her. His length easily slipped into her, filling her up and taking a brief moment to enjoy being connected before he started to thrusts his hips, his hands resting against Sophie's waist, then wandering over her sides, along her thighs and gripping lightly into her skin. "Fuck, Soph.."

Sophie: Gasping as he filled her, her body rolling back against the tiled wall. "Al." she breathed out, "Oh my god, you feel so good in me." His hands grasping as her sides, before moving and touching whatever skin he could reach. "God, Alex." she breathed heavier than before, "Lift me." she whined, "Take me against the wall." she panted, wanting him to be able to pin her against the shower wall.

Alex: His hand easily slid under her thigh, lifting her other leg that wasn't already wrapped around him and he lifted her up so she was trapped between the was and him, pressing her against the tiles with the water running over them, down their bodies. Alex cursed out under his breath, picking up a slightly faster pace and dropping his head forward so he could pepper nibbling kisses against Sophie's neck and jawline. "Shit.. Baby you feel so good, he breathed out, biting her skin gently before pulling back and locking eyes on hers." Yes.. "

Sophie: There was a soft giggle and laugh that left her lips when he lifted her up and her legs wrapped around him. With him having her up and pinned against the wall his hips moved faster and she gasped out a slur of curse words falling from her lips. His teeth grazing down her skin before feeling him bite. “Oh god yes Alex!” She yelled at him biting at her skin. “Don’t stop baby. Please don’t stop.”

Alex: He chuckled softly when Sophie laughed and he shifted a little so he could adjust her to being pinned against the wall, safely hoisted up on his hips with her legs wrapped around him. He smirked against her skin when she yelled out. "Don't stop biting you?" he asked with a chuckle. His thrusts were quick and heavy and he was easily consumed by how good she felt around him.

Sophie: She knew by the way he held her that she was safe. He wouldn’t drop her or hurt her. When he pulled back she gasped. “Yes.” She breathed, “just mark me make me yours.” She whined as he thrusts became hard and quick his hips snapping into hers as she moved against the wall for any leverage.

Alex: He laughed softly. "I think I already did." And he wasn't referring to the very light mark that was left behind by the bite. He buried his face in her neck again, suckling on the skin before biting at the spot again, picking up slightly harder thrusts as he felt Sophie move with him against the wall, causing hid breath to get harder, groaning against her skin. "Fuck, baby."

Sophie: “Mm are you sure?” She asked not that he wouldn’t hesitate to leave marks on her body. Feeling his mouth suckle, nip, lick, before biting down on the spot that was super sensitive caused her to buck her hips and pull harder at his hair. “Yes!” She gasped, “god right there oh fuck right there.” She whined feeling a tightness in her stomach.

Alex: Maybe it was the nervousness that had a grasp on him half the day that was finally lost it's grip that had him feeling all kinds of things, or maybe it was just the way they so easily moved perfectly together that had him feeling his orgasm building quick. Sophie's hips bucked into him and he bit at her skin again before licking the spot as if to gently tend to it. "I'm already so close baby.. Fuck."

Sophie: She felt him bite at her skin again and there was no way that she wouldn’t have a good bruise on her neck. His voice was strained and tight. “Oh god.” She whined her own stomach thightening. “Fuck.” She breathed out and nodded, “baby I want you to come for me. Come inside of me please I want to feel you.”

Alex: He cursed out under his breath, nose brushing against her jaw before peppering sloppy kisses there and over her lips, capturing them in a brief, hungry kiss. "Soph.. Oh fuck, baby," he breathed out, his voice tight and strained in a way he was sure she knew he was so very close. Her words easily egged him on and it only took a few more thrusts before he couldn't hold back his release. "Fuuuck," he moaned out

Sophie: Their kisses were sloppy her hands now grasping his face the cool metal of the ring pressing into his skin as she captured his mouth between words. When his hips started thrusting hard she felt him swell before starting to come inside of her and he head fell back hitting the wall her own walls tightening around him as she found her release as he continued to fill her her screaming his name again and again before her body went slightly limp in his arms.

Alex: He felt the ring against his skin and he had to admit he loved the feel, knowing just what the ring meant for them. He came hard inside of her and felt her walls tightening around him with her own release, cursing out as they broke their kiss and he dropped his face against her shoulder, breathing heavily as he started to slow his thrusts, guiding them through their orgasms. "Fuck, Soph.." he murmured, holding her up between him and the wall.

Sophie: He slowed but didn’t stop helping the feeling coursing through her body that had her on pins and needles. “Fuck.” She breathed, “mmm” she knew they couldn’t stay in there long for risk of people coming home but she enjoyed and savored in it. “How’s it feel to have sex with your fiancé for the first time?” She grinned then giggled pepper soft kisses where her lips could reach.

Alex: He chuckled softly, humming at the feeling of her lips on his skin. "So damn good," he mumbled, pressing his lips to her shoulder before lifting his head to kiss her lips instead, smiling into their kiss. He gave her hips a gentle squeeze before lifting his hands to find hers and lace their fingers together, bringing their arms up above her head against the wall, his movements stopping but savoring the feeling of still being buried inside of her.

Sophie: She smiled when he said so damn good. “You realize I’m going to love you for the rest of my life right?” Sophie was going to love him the rest of her life with or without a ring. He knew that but she was still in bliss from being asked and having him take her in the shower. Feeling his hands take hers and lifting them over her head their fingers lacing together as he held her pinned tk the wall buried inside of her. “I love you Alex.” She murmured softly.

Alex: "That's kind of what I was hoping for, yeah," he laughed softly before he kissed her, their fingers lacing together so perfectly and he smiled into their lips, holding her to the wall while the warm water was still drippling over his back. He tugged at her lip teasingly as he pulled away and the smile on his lips widened as she told him she loved him. "I love you too, Sophie." He let go of her hands slowly, fingers wandering down her arms, to her shoulders than around her sides to pull her in a little more.

Sophie: She chuckled softly "I know but I will say I would have loved you forever with or without a ring you know?" It was true she would have been with him forever as long as he wanted her. Her arms stayed up, holding them up herself as his hands started to explore the expanse of wet skin. A smile on her lips when he said he loved her too. "You know we can't stay in here forever the boys are going to come home eventually. Do we want to tell them or do we want them to just spot the ring and freak out?" she grinned giggling softly.

Alex: He took the moment to explore, as if taking her in and he smiled the way she held herself up against the wall. Eventually, he shifted, Sophie slid back onto her feet and he took a step back, taking the opportunity to actually shower and wash the cold, damp rainy feel off his skin. He glanced at Sophie and grinned before shaking out his hair a bit. "Whichever you wanna do is fine by me. They're gonna freak whether we tell them or let them see the ring."

Sophie: He finally shifted her legs unwrapping from around his waist and setting onto the floor him holding her so she didn't slip. She stepped forward under the hot water, her hands wrapping around Alex from the back her hands helping Alex to wash him in a more intimate moment together. "So they don't know at all, not any of them?" she laughed, "You realize you might kill Jack, and you definitely just killed all the Jalex fans in the process." she giggled because she still found it more funny than anything.

Alex: He smiled when he felt Sophie’s arms wrap around him from behind and he turned his head to look at her briefly. “No,” he chuckled. “I didn’t talk to them about it before I went off to look for a ring, and then, you know.. the whole thing with the paper weight happened and it was so stupid I wanted to tell you about it. But it didn’t make any sense without knowing what I was actually looking for,” he explained with a smile, turning around to face her now and finding the shampoo to help Sophie wash her hair, smiling as he gently scraped his hands over her sculp. They lingered in the shower, it really was a sweet moment of helping each other clean up and wash up. Eventually Alex turned off the water and grabbed a towel to wrap around Sophie, then one for himself to dry off. “Think we should totally put on something comfortable and then I’m still hoping for some spiked butterbeer,” he grinned cheekily.

Sophie: Her hands continued to help wash him though it wasn't like he needed the help. It was more just to keep the intimacy going. She laughed, "Well I hope you know I love the paper weight too." she said, because it was going to be special. It was apart of their engagement. When he turned around he helped her wash her hair and she sighed happily feeling his hands caress her wet locks. Taking the warm towel she wrapped it around herself before stepping out of the shower. "I think comfortable is good, and yes we can have spiked butterbeer still. Maybe you should text the boys to come back and we can all have a harry potter marathon, as long as Rian doesn't whine." she grinned.

Alex: It was nice to just be together in this moment, feel hands caressing each other. “I’m hoping it is gonna go in your office,” he chuckled softly. When they got out of the shower, Alex dried off and decided to ditch the wet clothes he had left behind and rather just wrap the towel around his waist. There was no sound announcing the boys had come back yet though, so he figured they could safely make it upstairs and they did. Alex grabbed some comfy clothes from the closet, tossing some on the bed for Sophie just assuming she’d get as comfortable in sweatpants and a hoodie as he was. “I can’t tell Rian we’re gonna watch Harry Potter though, he is definitely going to whine,” he laughed softly and found his phone to text them saying they were gonna have a movie night. “Don’t know if they’re gonna show up soon, but I say we get the butterbeers and just curl up?”

Sophie: "It is going to go in my office, where else would I put it?" she asked chuckling softly. "I got an engagement ring and an engagement paper weight." she grinned giggling. As they exited the bathroom they headed upstairs and she took the warm sweat pants and hoodie he tossed onto the bed for her. "We will just put extra whiskey in his butterbeer so he will get tipsy faster and not whine." she said, tying her hair up. Padding downstairs she headed over and pulled out the cinnamon whiskey and all the ingredients that she found on her phone for these drinks, starting to mix a large glass jug full and putting it in the fridge before making them their own individual butterbeers and heading out into the living room. Sitting down she moved to sit in his lap, holding her hand out with her ring. "It's just so sparkly and pretty." she beamed.

Alex: He was quick to change into comfortable clothes once he had them out. “He’s still going to whine,” he chuckled, but he knew they’d just scold Rian about it and tell him to shut up. When Sophie headed downstairs to get the drinks ready, Alex took the moment to check in on the kids, smiling as he saw them all fast asleep and he realized they were lucky to have them almost always sleeping through the night now. Padding downstairs, he found his way back into the living room and flopped down on the couch, sitting comfortably as he grabbed the remote to start looking for the Harry Potter movies. “Oh this looks so good,” he chuckled as Sophie set their glasses down on the table and then moved to sit in his lap, his arms easily wrapping around her as he smiled. “It had to be one I knew you’d like.”

Sophie: "Can I kick him if he does, he doesn't get to ruin Harry Potter." she said because she was very strongly opinionated on those movies. Whining during them was not allowed for any reason. "You know I believe we watched Harry Potter the first time we stayed in that hotel together back when we first started hooking up, looks like it comes full circle." she grinned. When he said it had to be one she'd like, "firs of all I love it, not like it, and second of all I would have married you with that paper ring you gave me." she said, "I'm just happy to be yours."

Alex: “I’m not gonna dare to stop you,” Alex laughed, knowing very well nobody should ever so much as dare to say anything bad about Harry Potter around her. He leaned back some more, arms lazily around Sophie the way she sat in his lap and he smiled, watching her examine the ring and holding it out to look at it. “That paper ring would not have been great in the shower,” he couldn’t help but laugh. “This whole thing started in the water, obviously the ring needed to be waterproof.” He was just teasing, but it was fun to think back, because she was right they were coming full circle with this in a way. His hand moved up to brush some wet strands behind her ear, starting to grin when he spotted the mark on her neck. “Mmh, definitely mine,” he said with a smirk.

Sophie: She laughed when he said that he wasn't going to stop her from doing that. Part of her knew it was her very British loyalty. "No the ring would have gotten ruined in the shower the paper one." she said chuckling but it was more that she didn't need the ring to be marrying him, even if she did love the ring he picked. "Fair point, we do like our water, though let's just hope we didn't follow suit like the first time and make another baby." she teased, because she knew that wasn't happening. When he looked at her neck she laughed, "Oh god, I didn't even look... definitely yours but how bad is it?" she knew that the boys would call it out the second they saw it.

Alex: “Oh no, no more babies this time around,” he murmured, eyes widened a little bit. He brushed her hair back and chuckled at her question. “It’s.. obvious.” His thumb brushed over the bruise, looking a little closer and biting his lips, he thought he could see the tiniest hint of an actual bite mark, but that was barely visible, though the whole mark was pretty dark already and very obvious he’d spent a little time suckling and nibbling away at her neck. He leaned forward, picking up their butterbeers so they could have a sip and when the glasses were settled on the table again, Alex shifted, gently pushing Sophie off onto the couch so it was just her legs draped over his lap. It took him some more shifting but eventually he guided Sophie to lift one of her legs to bring it behind his back and then he could shift and move to the side, resting against her between her legs and humming softly.

Sophie: “Mm you know babies happen when you have sex and we tend to have a lot of it.” She teased she knew they were perfectly safe and fine. “Like obvious obvious or just obvious.” As if that was understandable. She figured it was probably dark and she wondered if you could tell it was more than just sucking but biting. She felt him shift her onto the couch and moving her body till he was resting between her legs his head between her chest and stomach. Fingers came up and stroked through his damn hair. “Don’t get any ideas with your head down there.” She teased tugging his hair as she took a sip of her drink.

Alex: He took another look at the mark and shrugged. "I'd say it's obvious obvious," he murmured, not that he really was worried about it. So what if the boys saw? They’d be more focused on the ring on Sophie’s finger anyway. He shifted and moved her so he could rest between her legs with his head coming to lay against her torso, just above her stomach. “Mmh, I wasn’t until you mentioned it,” he said with a grin that gave away he was teasing. Besides, they had invited the boys to come back soon and he wasn’t going to risk them walking in on any ideas he might get. He smiled though when he felt her running her hand through his hair and tugging at the damp strands.

Sophie: "Oh great, they're going to find out we got engaged and immediately had sex and are not going to let us live it down." she laughed, as if they let them live down their sex life anyway when they found out any bit of it. She laughed stroking his hair, "Maybe if you're good and the boys go to bed I'll let you explore those ideas." Really it was more of a joke than anything. It was only a little while later as they laid there that she heard a car pulling down the stone driveway, "I think our guests have returned babe."

Alex: “They kind of know we have sex anyway,” he chuckled softly. “Or maybe we just made out and got a little distracted..” He hummed softly at the way she was stroking through his hair and he closed his eyes, comfortably resting again her. “I’m always good,” he grinned slightly, his arm wrapping around her slightly as best as he could with the way he was resting against her and his fingertips caressed at her gently. “Mmh, ‘s about time,” he mumbled, listening to the fumble of keys and then the front door opening. “We could’ve already started the movie and they would’ve been so late for it,” Alex said, not really bothering to move at all.

Sophie: "Only because we have three kids." she rolled her eyes, "If it wasn't for them for all they know we could have been not sleeping together till marriage." A snort of a laugh because even she knew that wouldn't have been believed in a million years. "Are you always good? I don't know about that." she teased sticking her tongue out at him. "Would have been rude to start the movie without them don't you think?" she asked brushing her fingers through his hair making sure it was the hand that had the well noticeable diamond on it.

Alex: He lifted his head a little to look at her as she too started laughing at that. “Yeah, don’t think they would’ve believed that..” He shook his head a little bit before resting it against her again as he heard voices in the hallway. He heard Jack and then Rian, but he wasn’t sure if Zack and Annie were with them yet. “Rian wouldn’t have cared,” he chuckled softly, but he had been fine waiting to start the movie anyway. He enjoyed the feel of Sophie’s fingers slipping through his hair and the few times her hand brushed against his scalp, he noticed it must be the hand that now showed off the ring he’d given her earlier. “See, we can totally still pick a movie,” Rian said as they walked into the living room and noticed the tv wasn’t playing a movie yet. “I’m telling you, they’ve already picked one and are just waiting for us now,” Jack argued and looked around briefly, spotting the glasses on the table. “Are those butterbeers? Oh we’re so watching Harry Potter, Ri.” The men turned his attention to Sophie and Alex where they were curled up on the couch, Alex clearly not bothered to move away from Sophie at all and both boys greeted them. “Hey!” Jack suddenly said, “why is she allowed to play with you ha- HOLY SHIT.” Rian’s head snapped around. “She’s always playing with his hair Jack, what the hell are you so surprised about?”

Sophie: "Yeah I know you never would have survived us not having sex to marriage." she grinned before giggling almost crazy because it was true. They were far too attracted to each other to have that kind of life. Hearing the boys arguing if they had picked a movie or not she sighed, "We picked a movie will you just sit down." As Jack pointed out what they were drinking, "They are spiked butterbeers, actually." she said "And there's a whole jug in the fridge for everyone. No complaining Rian." she said before Rian could even hear anything. Her fingers continued to stroke through his hair and Jack protested how she got to play with his hair before cursing causing Rian to jump. "BECAUSE." His voice raised almost to a screeching level and she had to try her hardest to keep her face straight, "BECAUSE!" His hand gesturing as Rian told him to stop screaming in his ear turning to look, "She did not have that on her hand when we left this morning! What the fuck is that?!" Sophie just blinked a few times before she finally stopped playing with Alex's hair and held up her hand, "Oh you mean this?" a smirk starting to tug at her lips as Annie and Zack came around the corner and she immediately screamed and jumped up and down.

Alex: He scoffed a little. “Oh like you would’ve been fine with that?” he said with a roll of his eyes and a chuckle. Rian was ready to argue when Sophie said no complaining and he seemed to sigh out internally, Alex knew that meant he’d just be fine with whatever they were picking to watch for the night. Not that anyone cared about that the second Jack started screeching, causing Alex to fail terribly at trying to hide the chuckle that wanted to leave his lips. “That’s a ring, Jack,” Alex said as if it was the most normal thing in the world and Rian’s eyes, too, widened. “Holy fuck,” he said the moment Zack and Annie came around the corner and when the woman spotted what the hustle was all about she immediately started screaming and jumping up and down. “Hey, calm down,” Zack tried but chuckled softly. “Is that an /engagement/ ring?!” Rian asked, eyes still widened in surprise and Alex simply nodded. "Yes."

Sophie: "Mm never said I would have just said you definitely wouldn't have." she teased, chuckling softly. With Jack screeching like he was being murdered and gesturing about like he didn't know what to say or how to act. "That's not just a ring that's a ring on that finger!" Jack practically screamed, "Why are you screaming Jack?" Sophie asked rubbing her own ear because damn he was screaming now, "You are going to wake the babies and I may kill you." she warned. Sophie nodded, "We're engaged, he proposed just a few hours ago." she beamed as Annie came running over half hugging her over the couch, "Oh my god it's about time!" she squealed.

Alex: The prospect of waking the babies seemed to finally stop Jack from screaming any more and he shut up almost immediately. Maybe he didn’t want to deal with crying little ones, or maybe he was just afraid of how mad Sophie would get if he did wake them up. When Annie came running over and starting to hug Sophie, Alex huffed out. “Hey, hold on. I’m right here,” he called, starting to shift to sit up and give Annie and Sophie space to hug without him being squished in the middle of it. “Engaged – when.. how – WHAT?” Jack asked, fully confused apparently and Rian and Zack too seemed to look surprised. “Why the hell didn’t you say anything when we were together this morning?” Rian asked. “Because,” Alex started with a shrug, “I didn’t even have the ring yet until after we were done with the interviews today.”

Sophie: Jack seemed to take it serious from there, he stopped screaming and jumping around. Whether not wanting to deal with crying babies or an angry Sophie it didn't really matter. Alex managed to slide out from between Annie and Sophie who were hugging, Annie taking her hand to look at the ring and them whispering like over excited girls. While Alex explained to them that he didn't even have plans or a ring until after the interviews. "It was very spur of the moment from what I've gathered." Sophie said, "I mean you should see the other engagement present he got me." she said as Rian groaned, "Yeah we can tell by the hickey on your neck what else he gave you." As she giggled, "No not that, stop thinking everything is about sex Rian, that was /after/ we were engaged!" she grinned to which he just groaned again.

Alex: "You must've had something planned," Zack said but Alex shook his head. "I really was just gonna look. But you have no idea how invested this lady at the store was to make sure I buy something.. I panicked, but then found this ring,” he motioned towards Sophie who was gushing over the ring with Annie. “If it’s not sex, what else would he get you as an engagement present?” Jack asked, fully confused about that apparently and Alex covered his face to hide the laugh and his face. “It’s not an engagement present,” he groaned but then nodded towards the crystal paper weight on the table. Jack picked it up to look at. “What would Sophie need a paperweight for?” Zack asked, causing Alex to sigh out. “I panicked okay!”

Sophie: She wasn't surprised that he had no plans, from what she already knew. Alex was always someone to do something spur of the moment. "Sex isn't a present, Jack, it's a fun time." she said rolling her eyes. Rian still groaning like he was going to rip his short hair out. The boys started laughing when he said he panicked, "Yeah that sounds like Alex." Zack said causing her to laugh, "It's really sweet, it'll be something I can keep forever besides the ring." she said of course, "So yeah.. we're getting married." she grinned at the boys who just looked stunned, "Not any time soon we haven't even talked about that and there's no rush but he's pretty dead set on me being his wife." she grinned over at Alex and leaned into him to peck his lips. "Now back to our movie night. How about it?"

Alex: "Yeah, we're getting married," Alex repeated, glancing at Sophie with a smile and really, the way she was grinning and how very obviously happy she was, that was all Alex needed to know he'd done the right thing and somehow picked the right time. “Yeah, just because this was kind of spur of the moment, I don’t think we’re gonna get married tomorrow or the day after,” he chuckled as Sophie leaned in to peck his lips. “Oh, movie!” Jack said. “Where’d you say the butterbeer was?” Alex shook his head. “In the fridge, Jack.” He shifted, ushering Annie out of the way. “Excuse me, please let me settle back into my spot,” he said with a grin and once she had taken a step back, Alex shifted to settle back against Sophie.

Sophie: "I don't think it'll be tomorrow or the day after either but I wouldn't put it past us to do something spur of the moment someday." Didn't mean it would even be this year but she could see them just deciding it was time to be married and getting married much like a lot of things in their lives. When he shifted he ushered Annie out of the way and pushed Sophie back before settling back between her legs and laying against her chest, "Apparently I'm the designated pillow tonight?" she raised a brow, as the boys were off to get drinks and Annie curled up in one of the large chairs that Zack and her would be able to curl up together. The movie night went on and they managed to get through three of the movies before the boys and annie wandered off to their rooms to sleep and Sophie shifted on the couch, "We should clean this mess up babe."

Alex: He grinned slightly, knowing that definitely wasn’t off the table. They could spontaneously decide to tie the knot without much planning ahead. It didn’t take long for them to get ready to watch a movie or a few and Alex ushered Annie away so he could settle back against Sophie, the spot he’d occupied before. “Yes, you make a very comfortable pillow.” They all curled up on the couch, or in one of the chairs and made it through three of the eight movies before they all started to spread out and head to bed and Alex was glad the house had as many guestrooms as it had. Alex was half asleep when Sophie shifted, asking him to clean up and he grumbled softly. “Can’t we just sleep?” he murmured, but he pushed himself up to get up and off the couch, running his hand through his hair and over his face. He knew they really should, they had dogs running around the house after all, and the kids would be up early giving them no time to clean in the morning. So he helped her put everything away before he walked up behind her at the kitchen counter and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Mmh, can I take my fiancé to bed now?

Sophie: "Can we at least be invited to the wedding since we missed out on the engagment?" Jack pouted coming back already pouring his glass. "For someone who is so warm you don't seem to mind curling up today on me." she chuckled stroking his hair again. "Mmm normally I would say yes but we should clean then we don't have to worry about it tomorrow." she reasoned because it had been a very long day for them. When he walked up behind her after they finished cleaning she felt his arms tight around her waist the word fiance dancing on his lips and she smiled. "Mmm almost." she said turning around in his arms before pecking his lips, "I was thinking." slipping out of his arms and opening the freezer. "A little ice cream might hit the spot." she grinned as she grabbed a spoon and opened the container taking a spoonful to her mouth and licking it with her tongue slowly and sultry while holding his eyes locked on her.

Alex: “If we have time to send out invitations, it’s not a spur of the moment thing, right?” Alex chuckled. “But if you’re around I promise I’ll let you know,” he said with a grin. Alex hummed as he settled against Sophie again. “I get warm when I sleep not just from laying around,” he argued, “plus the rain drenched me, I got cold.” He was happy she let him lay the way he’d settled though and they had a good time watching the movies. Eventually, finally cleaned up, Alex found Sophie by the counter and he chuckled as she slipped from his arms to get to the freezer. He watched her move over to grab some ice cream and he knew she was teasing him the way she was licking away at the spoon. “Are you gonna let me have some?” He shifted to lean back against the counter, watching her.

Sophie: Sophie laughed at his promise to let them know if they are around. She knew that someday whenever that happened the boys would be there, they were such an important part of their lives. "I mean I guess do you want some?" she asked as she licked off the remaining ice cream. Taking another scoop she she headed towards him and 'accidentally' dipped some onto his shirt. "Oops." she said as she set the carton down. "We should take that off you or it'll stain." she said reaching to pull his shirt off before picking up the spoon again. "You know I have an idea." she said stepping closer as she dragged the spoon across his chest, before dipping down and running her tongue against the expanse of skin.

Alex: “Yes I want some,” he said, watching her, but he still couldn’t stop her from ‘accidentally’ spilled some ice cream on his shirt. “Excuse me?” he asked, chuckling softly as he let her help take the shirt off of him, leaving him standing shirtless in the kitchen. He arched a brow as Sophie dragged the spoon across his chest, spreading more ice cream on him and he groaned softly. “Soph,” he murmured, licking his lips as he felt her tongue on his skin. “Are you trying to seduce me?” Alex asked, a small grin starting to spread across his lips.

Sophie: Her tongue licked softly at the ice cream on his chest, taking it off little by little. She imagined he'd be sticky regardless afterwards but she was feeling playful and everyone was asleep upstairs. "I might be trying to seduce you." she said, as her tongue licked off the rest of the ice cream on him. "And everyone is upstairs, and no one is downstairs but you and me." she murmured, "and I was thinking about your head somewhere else than when we were on the couch."

Alex: He glanced down to watch her, tongue licking along the trail of ice cream she had left over his chest. “It’s working, keep going,” he murmured, encouraging her with a grin spread across his lips and his hands moved to rest on either side of her hips. He groaned softly when she mentioned a different place she’d pictured his head to go to. “And where exactly would that be?” he asked as if he didn’t already had very good idea.

Sophie: A giggle left her lips when he said it was working as she peppered kisses against his chest. When he asked where that would be, "How about I show you?" she said as her hands grasped his shoulders and started pushing him down, her body leaning into the counter, "I was thinking right about here." she said once he was down level with her pelvis, "Do I have to paint you a picture anymore?"

Alex: He arched a brow when Sophie suggested she showed him instead and then her hands were on his shoulders, pushing him down until he was level with her pelvis and he groaned softly. “I got a pretty good idea,” Alex murmured. He brought his hands up her legs, caressing over the fabric of her sweat pants and he almost sighed, internally hoping really nobody would come down in the kitchen. Still, his hands found the hem of her pants and dipped into it, tugging lightly and brushing his fingers against the bare skin beneath.

Sophie: "Do you? I just want to make sure." she said softly, obviously not wanting to be too loud. Feeling his hands travel her legs she knew he would worry about people walking in but she had all the faith between the alcohol and how late they were up that no one would interrupt them. Feeling his hand dip down into the sweats she tilted her head back, grasping the counter as she as he explored her for a bit before she shifted her one hand and moved pushing down her sweats letting them fall to the floor leaving her lower half bare to him.

Alex: The alcohol helped to stop from worrying too much. Everyone had been tired when they wandered off to bed. He knew Jack would be out in now time, Rian would either go right to sleep or talk to his girlfriend before he’d sleep and Zack and Annie.. well they’d be busy themselves or actually sleeping, chances were incredibly low anyone would walk in on them right now. Still he hesitated briefly and let his hands just wander and explore instead until Sophie pushed her own pants down and he groaned softly, leaning forward to bury his face between her now bare legs, humming before starting to pepper kisses and then dip out his tongue to tease between her lips.

Sophie: She didn't want to make him uncomfortable but there were more chances of them waking people upstairs than down in the kitchen on the other side of the house. When she pushed off her pants that seemed to be what he needed, that final push as his head dipped between her legs, her hand grasping into his hair on his head the other holding her up against the counter. Then there wa the feeling of his tongue starting to caress between her lips, "Oh god, yes." she breathed out.

Alex: He was easily overthinking, because it was moments like this he ended up being very protective, especially about what was his in a way, not that he really thought of Sophie as his property. She knew him well enough to know he’d overthink though so the way she just pushed down her pants was what pulled him out of that train and he groaned at the sight in front of him that he definitely couldn’t keep away from. His tongue brushed between her lips, caressing her and humming softly as he felt her hand in his hair. He shifted so he could drag his tongue up more until he could flick it against her clit before wrapping his lips around it and sucking softly, only briefly.

Sophie: She knew that for Alex this was partially because sex was between them. This was them being vulnerable with each other in ways they enjoyed. Not meant for other eyes. Her body leaned back more as her head fell back. "Oh fuck, Alex!" she gasped out her hips pressing into his mouth as he started suckling on her clit. "Just like that baby, don't stop." she whined, fingers curling in his hair as he so expertly went down on her.

Alex: With the guest rooms upstairs and the kids rooms too, Alex knew that chances were anyone would hear them were higher if they were upstairs. Which didn’t fully weigh out the fact that down here, anyone could barge in any time, but then Sophie was bare in front of him and the alcohol in his body made it impossible to not want to give her what she wanted. “Shh,” he breathed out, glancing up at her briefly before focusing back on the task at hand, grinning slightly before suckling on her clit again, flicking his tongue against it every now and then.

Sophie: She heard him shush her and she groaned, "I really don't give a fuck about the rest of the house, don't stop." she panted, pulling him back in. She wasn't normally so demanding but the feeling of his mouth on her was so addicting that she couldn't see past the lust that was settling into her body, though she would try and keep her words at least more quiet as her hips bucked looking for the relief his tongue could provide to her. "Alex." she whined her hand coming up and covering her face and biting her hand to keep her voice down.

Alex: He was too busy to reply to that, but he would’ve told her that he did care though. Thought he didn’t care enough to stop his movements on her to say something, so he rather flicked his tongue against her clit again before going back to sucking on it, alternating between the two, He shifted some more, bringing his tongue between her lips again and letting the tip of his tongue dip inside of her a few times before going back to wrapping his lips around her clit again.

Sophie: She knew that he cared but her mind was hazed over from pleasure that she wasn't reasoning properly. His mouth went back to working on her, his tongue dipping inside of her before wrapping his lips around her clit and she bucked forward, her hips getting sloppy and messy and she knew that with just the right touch she'd be coming on his tongue.

Alex: He continued to move his tongue, flicking it against her clit and then moving between her legs again, dragging his tongue between wet lips before dipping the tip into her again and then burying his face more between her legs so he could pump his tongue easily.

Sophie: His face buried more between her legs and she gripped onto his head, "Yes, yes, yes." she breathed, his tongue pumping in and out of her with each move causing her legs to shake. "fuck alex I'm going to come so hard." she breathed, "Please, oh god, please."

Alex: He felt her legs shaking, his hands holding onto them as if that would keep her standing straight, but he really didn't pull back from her, his tongue buried deep onside of her, or as best as could be at least and pumping in and out. He hummed, not really able to encourage her to come by saying so.

Sophie: His humming was enough to do her in with his tongue buried inside of her, her hips bucked forward on his mouth once, twice, before a nose came from her lips and she yanked hard on his hair pressing her hips into his face as felt herself start to come on his tongue her body shaking as she wanted to ride out the orgasm as long as possible.

Alex: He was happy to feel her body react, to taste her on his lips as she came around his tongue and he tried to lick up everything that he could reach. When he finally felt like she was okay again, he pulled his head back a little to grin up at Sophie

Sophie: Her body leaned back and pressed against the counter. "Holy fuck babe, I think I might need tor request eating out in the kitchen more often." she grinned panting heavily as she saw his grin that showed how proud he was of himself.

Alex: He licked his lips as he slowly came up, stepping close to her by the counter and he grinned more. "Was so much better than the ice cream." He leaned in to capture her lips in a kiss.

Sophie: He captured her lips in a kiss and she grinned tasting herself on his mouth. "Better than ice cream huh?" she murmured reaching out and feeling his hard length and tugging him closer to her with hit. "Maybe I should give you the same kind of service unless you had other plans, I'd hate to cut into your sleep time."

Alex: "So much better," he murmured after their kiss. He felt her hand shift between them and groaned as Sophie wrapped in her hand around his length. He had yet to get his pants out of the was, but there was time to tug and put on theen know.

Sophie: “I’m glad you prefer me to ice cream. Though I guess you did get some kind of cream.” She grinned before giggling at her own dirty joke. She waited and got his pants down and shifted her hand to stroke him in long firm strokes. “Now tell me do you want my mouth on you or somewhere we’re else.” She asked.

Alex: A grin spread on his lips at Sophie's joke and he laughed softly. He was so glad she was comfortable enough to say and do these things, to be open to explore all these things with him. "Fuck," he said through lips almost pressed together and he closed his eyes when Sophie's hand started move her hand over his length. "Mouth," he breathed out, his hips shifting into her tough a little bit.

Sophie: She knew it was from being on cloud nine that she was so open and vocal. Her hand moved back and forth stroking his hardened length. His hips shifted a tiny bit as she sank down on her bare knees pulling her hair out of the way and lick the tip before taking him eagerly into her mouth.

Alex: It wasn't often that Sophie was this very open and vocal about things but Alex loved it. He knew it meant she was comfortable with him and that was reason enough to be happy about it. His eyes watched her sink down slowly, he bit his lip as she knelt in front of him, hips pants gladly dropped down and he moaned quietly at the feel of her lips wrapping around his length. "Oh, fuck.."

Sophie: Her mouth moved effortlessly against his length her tongue caressing thr under side of his cock. Her hand grasped at his thighs pulling him closer she said in her knees completely bare from the waist down her hand twisting around the shaft for extra stimulation as she bobbed her head against him faster taking him further into her mouth.

Alex: He easily moved closer when Sophie tugged at his legs and he cursed under his breath at the feeling of her bobbing her head on his length. His head fell back, groaning a little louder but trying to keep it low still, not eager to wake anyone or just get anyone's attention. His hips bucked forward a bit when Sophie too him in deeper. "Fuck... Yes, baby," he breathed out, his hand reaching down to tangle in her long strands of hair.

Sophie: Her head continued to bob back and forth against his length a little faster. Especially when his hips bucked forward into her mouth forcing him a little deeper into her mouth. Tilting her head back she was able to take him deeper gargling slightly against his skin as his hands gripped her hair tugging slightly causing her to moan around his length.

Alex: He tipped bis head back a little, glad he could lean against the counter slightly to hold himself up. His fingers tangled in his hair, gripping and tugging lightly at the red strands. "Soph..oh fuck." He hadn't expected to be so aroused to quick but Sophie had a way of turning him on and tending so expertly to him that he felt his body tensing a little, the pleasure building up and he cursed out as his hips bucked again. "So close.."

Sophie: She felt him lean into the counter mich like she had. She continued to move faster as his hands gripped into her hair pulling and tugging. His hips bucked again into her mouth pushing farther down and she coughed slightly but didn’t stop as she heard him say he was close determined to get him to find his release.

Alex: Sophie didn't flinch or pull back and Alex loved the way she felt around him, the way she was determined to get him off this way. "Fuck, yes baby. Sophie.." he moaned out, biting down on his lip hard as he felt his release, almost feeling bad about filling her mouth with his come, letting out a drawn out curse, trying to not be too loud.

Sophie: She felt him encourage it more and she then felt the swell before feeling his come hit the back of her throat her tongue attempting to lay flat to let him spill down her throat until she felt him finish. She bobbed her head a few times before pulling back the soft wet sound of her mouth smearing against her lips as she sat on her knees and looked up at him almost innocent as she wiped her mouth gently with the back of her hand.

Alex: He came into her mouth, breathing hard and panting as he looked down to see her swallow him, licking his lip as he let out a chuckle at the way Sophie looked up at him so innocently. "Fuck, baby.." He reached down, tugging her up onto her feet to pull her into him some. "God I love you."

Sophie: When he reached down and pulled her up into him, she grinned, "Oh you love me huh? I think you're in that post stated bliss of after an orgasm kind of love." she teased, "I also still have no pants on my lower half, we should probably at least pull those up if you're gonna stand here and tell me how much you love me."

Alex: "Hey, I spent all day making sure you know how much I do love you,” he chuckled into their kiss. Glancing down, he scrunched up his nose. “We should get you dressed.. and me too, I guess.” He shifted to pull up his pants and help Sophie putting hers back on too before he wrapped his arms around her, sliding his arms down to the back of her legs so he could pick her up and sit her up on the counter. “Are we done cleaning up here? Or were you thinking more ice cream?” he grinned at her as he stepped between her legs to just stand with her for a moment, one arm lazily wrapped around her while he used the other hand to reach for the box of ice cream Sophie had discarded on the counter.

Sophie: "You did, you did a good job babe." Given he had proposed, but she was pretty sure most guys felt extra boost of serotonin when they hit that release, especially when watching someone with their mouth around them. Not that she doubted his love at all. Feeling him help her dress she giggled, "You really are more worried about me getting dressed than you because the boys have all seen you naked." Joking since she didn't really expect any of them to come downstairs. She felt him step between her legs now that she was sitting on the counter. "You do mean actual ice cream now right?" she raised a brow at the man as he grabbed the box of ice cream that was half melted behind her and held it up.

Alex: “I don’t want them coming in here seeing you butt naked,” he chuckled, tugging up her sweatpants to cover her up before lifting her up to sit on the counter. He put his own pants back on, but left his shirt discarded on the floor since it was covered with ice cream anyway. Standing between her legs, he reached for the ice cream and chuckled. “Yes I’m talking about ice cream. Figured we’re good with other creams right now,” he smirked slightly, glancing at her before digging a spoonful of half-melted ice cream from the container. “Plus if we don’t eat this, it’s just gonna be a waist of good ice cream. We can’t just put it back in the freezer like this.”

Sophie: "I'm not butt naked only my lower half was naked and for very good reasons." she teased when he dressed himself. A snort of a laugh left her lips at his comment of other creams. "Yes, yes, I think we've had our fill of other versions." she murmured. When he said that they couldn't put it back like this he was right. "We could pour it into glasses essentially it's like a shake now." she said swinging her legs as she leaned forward and kissed him hard for a moment.

Alex: "Ooh," he said, eyes widening almost excitedly. "A shake would be so much better than just trying to eat this." He dropped the spoonful back into the container and was distracted briefly by the hard kiss she pressed to his lips. "Hmm," Alex hummed, grinning into the kiss and playfully biting at her lip as he pulled back. "Let's pour us some shakes and head upstairs, yes?" A mischevious grin spread on his lips as he added, "unless you wanna linger here and make out for a bit.."

Sophie: "Shake would be so much better wouldn't it?" she nodded, and she was more than happy to be able to have a shake and enjoy it. She felt him bite at her lips and tug it a tiny bit and moaned against his mouth. "I mean if you want to linger here and make out for a bit I'm not going to stay no." she hummed, "But I would hate to exhaust you." she grinned giggling softly.

Alex: “Sooo much better,” he chuckled, putting the container back down on the counter and placing both his hands on either side of her on the counter. “Exhaust me?” he asked, laughing as he shook his head. “I think I will be fine to make out with you some. Now if you expect me to take you upstairs in a bit and make sweet, sweet love to you.. then that could be a little problematic,” he chuckled. “But I’ll never get tired of making out with you.” To prove his point, he leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss.

Sophie: "I mean exhausting it's late and you are getting older." Of course it was just joke when he said if she expected sweet, sweet love making afterwards it'd be problematic. A laugh rang from her lips, "Babe, I hate to be the one to break this to you but we don't make sweet, sweet love all that often." Which was kind of true, given she had just gone down on him in the kitchen. His lips met hers and she reached up and cupped his face, humming against his lips.

Alex: “Never too old to make out with you,” he said with a playful roll of his eyes. He laughed, leaning for a kiss that she gladly seemed to return. “Where’d be the fun in doing that all the time anyway?” he grinned into their kiss before letting himself get a little lost in kissing her, tugging her a little closer to the edge of the counter to bring her closer to him. He only broke away briefly to catch his breath before kissing her again, parting his lips to let his tongue pry against her lips for them to open, asking for entrance to deepen the kiss some more.

Sophie: A smile tugged to her lips that he'd never be too old to make out with her. There was that idea that he really was never going to get sick of her or at least not be attracted to her. "I love making love but I think all the time it'd get boring and we are anything but boring babe." She had learned to appreciate their sex life and intimacy. He pulled her closer, his mouth parting and his tongue prying gently between warm wet lips as she allowed him entrance, deepening the kiss in soft languid movements of her tongue with his.

Alex: “We’re so not boring,” he grinned. “I mean, you just went down me in our kitchen.. with guests upstairs. That’s so far from boring,” Alex laughed. The kiss wasn’t hungry or heavy, it was a soft kiss that they deepened by letting their tongue move together, almost playfully more so than fighting for dominance and Alex sighed happily into the kiss. He held her close to him, enjoying being pressed up against each other as they kissed, letting that linger for a while.

Sophie: "I mean they're upstairs sleeping or getting laid themselves." given two were a couple, "It made more sense to pleasure my man downstairs." Their mouths moved together, her fingers caressing down his cheek as they kissed. It wasn't dominate or possessive but it was playful and fun and she couldn't help but giggle into the kiss. Her lips nipped at his before breaking the kiss breathing heavy as she tugged him closer in between her legs.

Alex: “Do not forget about your own pleasurable moment,” he reminded her with a grin before focusing on their kiss, enjoying the moment, chuckling softly against her lips when she giggle and he leaned forward a little as she nipped at his lips and then he grinned as she tugged him in closer. “We’re gonna be so tired tomorrow,” he laughed softly as he leaned in and kissed her again, not really bothered all too much. The kids were gonna be up early though and though he wasn’t sure what time it was, since they had watched three full length movies, he assumed it was getting really late. But he didn’t have any work stuff planned for the next day and the boys and Annie were around to help with the kids, so he knew they’d be good. Plus.. he couldn’t really get enough of kissing her.

Sophie: "Trust me I don't... not at all. Was a great pleasurable moment." When he pulled back she nodded, "We're going to be so tired, so very, very tired." With three kids, "We should leave a note for Annie and the boys to watch the babies until we wake." Since she knew they would pitch in and help as much as needed. Especially since it was so late. Their lips returned to each other for a bit before she broke the kiss. "Maybe we should go kiss in bed. Any chance I can get you hard enough just to fall asleep with you inside of me tonight?" she asked tilting her head she knew that she didn't expect sex or love making but falling asleep with him inside of her even as he wouldn't be hard just the connection was something she craved as she peppered soft kisses against his jaw. "Or should we worry about that another night."

Alex: “If they’re as busy as we are, Annie and Zack are gonna need to sleep in too,” Alex chuckled. “But we can give that a try, yeah.” He smiled into their kiss and hummed as they eventually broke away, his eyes a little hooded, tired from the long day and all that had happened. He closed his eyes as he felt Sophie’s lips against his jaw and he sighed softly at the feeling. “Think we could be fine with that, yes..” He loved the idea, loved being so close and connected with her. And it had been a while, he knew that, Sophie had mentioned she wanted that a while ago and they had yet to find moments together like that. Bringing his hands to her thighs, he gently patted against them. “C’mon. Let’s leave the ice cream wasted and go to bed. I wanna sleep with my fiancé,” a grin tugging at his lips.

Sophie: "I don't think anyone has been as busy as us today." she teased, they had been fooling around and pleasuring each other. "There's no way they will need more sleep than us." she laughed shaking her head a tiny bit. "If you are sure, I don't want to make you uncomfortable." If he was going to be frustrated or anything like that. When he said to leave the ice cream she felt her heart skip a beat. "You know I think that is the sexiest thing I've ever heard from you. Wanting to go sleep with your fiancé." she said smiling as she slipped off the counter tossing the ice cream into the bin. "But seriously you should leave them a note, I think I'd like to sleep in with my future husband and then tell the babies mummy is finally going to get the same last name as them." she teased before starting to head upstairs.

Alex: “I won’t be uncomfortable,” he murmured. So maybe if they could not get to sleep that way he would possibly be a little frustrated, but he was comfortable enough with Sophie to get over that. And maybe they’d just be perfectly happy and fine. Alex grinned when Sophie said it was the sexiest thing she heard him say. “You’re not gonna be bummed about the ice cream?” he teased, but she was already slipping off the counter to toss the container away. He sighed as she mentioned telling the kids about it and he realized he’d barely gotten to spend any time with them that day. “How about you leave that note and I go check on the kids?” he suggested as he followed her upstairs, catching up halfway up the stairs.

Sophie: "Okay." she said, "As long as you're sure." seh said as she tossed the container in the bin and turned back to him. When he said that he was going to check on the kids she nodded, "Okay you check on the babies and I'll make sure they all get a note." she murmured as she quickly jotted down a note for all of them to find before slipping into the room. She moved to the bed pulling back the blankets and headed into the closet and changed into a nightgown to make things easier when he returned.

Alex: Once upstairs, Alex did slip into the kids' rooms to check on them, taking brief moments to watch them sleep and then he headed back out and towards the bedroom. He smiled when he found Sophie. "You changed. Am I supposed to change to?" He grinned slightly, closing the door behind him and then wandering towards the bed to get in with her. "I think I promised you kisses.. and some real close cuddling."

Sophie: "I figured it would be easier to really cuddle." she said "You don't have to change. Unless you want to but you should make sure the door is locked, Jack has a habit of just walking in whenever he wants." Which was true and him jumping into bed with them while Alex was tucked inside of her was not on her 'to experience' list. "Then the promised kisses and very close cuddling." she nodded, "Because you did promise."

Alex: “It’s gonna be much easier.” He turned to look back at the door and he made sure it was locked before he continued to wander over to the bed to join Sophie in it, humming softly as he paused in front of it. “If you’re only wearing that and I’m gonna be so close to you, I’m so not going to wear any clothes at all. I don’t fancy overheating,” he chuckled as he glanced down at himself. He’d left the shirt downstairs so he was left in sweatpants that he could easily get rid of before climbing into bed, finding Sophie to crawl over her, his hand dragging up her legs in the process and tugging up the fabric of her night gown.

Sophie: When he said he was going to wear nothing at all she figured part of that was to not overheat as well since he always got so hot when he was sleeping but she also figured it would make it a bit easier to be so close. Feeling his hands move up her legs and pushing the fabric up slightly she swallowed, "Are you sure this is okay if you don't want to you don't have to you know?" she said not wanting him to feel like anything had to happen between them.

Alex: He moved to crawl over her, tugging the night gown up before shifting up enough to hover over her. “When have I ever not wanted to be with you, babe?” he asked softly, leaning down a little to almost rest on top of her. “So it’s okay, Soph. I may just need you to touch me.. kiss me.. yeah?” He licked his lower lip as his eyes locked with hers and then he leaned down to place a soft, brief kiss on her lips.

Sophie: She knew it was true when he said that, "I know but you said not to expect anything when we came upstairs and I don't want you to feel like you have to if you can't or don't want to." She murmured looking at him when he said she might need to touch him and kiss him. "I can do that." she breathed out before feeling him pressing a soft kiss to her lips. Her lips moved against his as she adjusted her body under him, moving so he was straddling her leg and shifted her leg to help him grind against it.

Alex: “I want to,” he said simply, because it was true. He did, he wanted to be so close with her. Which didn’t necessarily mean he for sure could be, but he was willing to try and take that chance. Alex smiled softly, brushing his lips against hers. “Good,” he murmured, feeling her shift until he was straddling his leg and it came up so he could grind against her, humming at the friction this caused. Their lips moved together, picking up their soft, yet loving kisses from back when they were in the kitchen and his one arm slid under her to tug her up against him, wanting to feel more of her against his body.

Sophie: When he said he wanted to she nodded her head. Her leg was bent enough for him to grind against her, at least for now. She felt him slid his arm up and under her to pull her closer to him. "Al." she breathed into his mouth, her hands traveling down his sides, "Tell me what you need from me?" she murmured as she wanted this to be as pleasurable for him as possible given she had made him come twice that day so far like he had made for her.

Alex: He lifted her up a little bit to bring them closer together, feeling her press against him slightly as he ground his hips against her. He heard her, lifting his head a little and offering a smile. “Think you did a pretty great job at seducing me earlier.. I don’t think you need me to tell you what to do,” he murmured. Though after another kiss, he continued, “I want to feel your hands explore. I want your hands on me, touch me.. all over."

Sophie: His hips continued to grind against her and she gave a sheepish smile. “I know but this is different I want to get you hard but I also know it might take more than humping me.” When normally them grinding would have him hard in no time she didn’t want him to grow frustrated with himself. When he told her to touch him all over she nodded. “Now that I can do.” She murmured against his mouth rolling her leg under him and moving her hands down his chest, teasing at his own nipples before sliding down his hips nails scraping her skin.

Alex: “You gotta stop worrying,” he said softly, biting his lower lip. “It may take time.” And partially he was telling that to himself too, because this would take longer than it normally did, because he wanted her, but it took time to get that want surging through his body. He moaned softly she she scraped her nails over his skin, caressing here and there, her leg pressing up against her. “More,” he murmured, his hand finding her free leg to wrap that around his one leg, bringing them a little closer together.

Sophie: ���I don’t mind how long it takes Alex.” She said, “I don’t want you to get frustrated.” She said because she obviously worried about him. She scraped her nails down over his back pulling him in as his body moved her other leg over his back. Her other leg hitched up slightly between his leg starting to rock harder against him encouraging him to grind agaisnt her leg more her hand grasping at his bottom and pulling him down hard into her as she moaned into his ear.

Alex: His lips twitched, curling into a smile as he peppered a few kisses against her lips. Hed body easily moved the way he guided her and her hips rocked harder into his, causing him to groan. Her skin press more against him, grinding and rocking together. And maybe it was the way her nails pressed into his bum, tugging him down against her, or it was simly the moaning into his ear but he felt his length twitch slightly, moaning out at the feeling.

Sophie: Hearing him groan was like bliss at the very least he was enjoying something. Her nails dug in a little harder as she felt him moan and his body jerk a tiny bit. “I love you.” She groaned into his ear, “I just want to be close to you you know that right?”

Alex: "Soph," he moaned. "I know baby, I wanna be close to you too." Where his mind had been reacting to her all day, clothes took longer at this time. Alex slowed his movement against her leg when he felt the little twitch, the reaction he was hoping for. He knew he couldn't actually fuck her right now, but this was about being connected and he felt comfortable enough to be that now. "Do you want me to lay on top of you all night?"

Sophie: She smiled at him as he said that he wanted to be close to her too. When he moaned she sucked in a breath and arched her body into his slightly before shifting. “Um maybe we should get you enough and then cuddle up from behind into me laying on top of me all night eventually my breathing might get harder.” She said and she was sure neither of them wanted that. “Or we can face each other and I can lay my leg over your hip.”

Alex: He groaned slightly as Sophie shifted. "As much as I love taking you from behind," he started, chuckling at the bluntness of it, "I think I wanna be able to kiss you." He now shifted too, grunting as he slid off of her to lay on his side beside her, reaching out to tug her in again.

Sophie: She mewled a soft moan when he shifted off of her. “Well it’s not like we’re having sex.” Okay he was going to be inside of her so it technically was sex but not in the traditional way they normally would. He tugged her in and she hooked her leg over his hip and settled her pelvis low against him grinding gently against him. “Just tell me when you’re good enough.” She whispered.

Alex: "That's a lie," he laughed softly as they shifted and he pulled her in, feeling her leg hook over his hip. "We're not trying to get each other off, but I'd say it does count as sex." He felt her hips grinding into him so wonderfully and he moaned at her words, rolling his hips into hers. "Baby," he murmured, shifting against her once more and sure she could feel his length hardening more with each movement. His hand moved to the back of her neck to pull her in for a passionate kiss. "I want to be inside of you.. Now," he said after a moment, biting playfully at her lip.

Sophie: “Okay so it counts but not in the same way we’re used to with the whole getting each other.” His hips pressed into hers and she could feel him reacting to it getting hard each time they moved with each other. Feeling him grab her neck she crushed her lips to his her hand curling to his face. Feeling his teeth bite at her skin she nodded shifting her hips to angle them easier for him. “Then you can be inside of me and then cuddle me.” She breathed out.

Alex: He reached between them when Sophie shifted to adjust, then rolled his hips a little to slide his length into her, slow to make it easier to bury himself inside of her, moaning softly at the feeling before his arms wrapped around her, tugging her in and ready to curl up with her.

Sophie: She shifted to help him and he pushed in and slid his length into her. It took a little bit before he was buried inside of her completely and she shivered at the sound of his moan. She shifted her body into his and let his arms curl around her. “Sure you’re not gonna mind getting too warm sleeping this curled up and inside of me?” She murmured.

Alex: "Sophie," he said softly, nudging his nose against hers gently. "I'm perfectly happy being with you like this." He hummed softly, holding her close to him and brushing his hand up her back slightly caressing against her skin and he leaned in to kiss her softly.

Sophie: A small smile appeared on her lips when he said he was perfectly happy like this. She knew he normally got overly warm but she also knew that they wanted to be close. Something she knew was in part to their new engagement to each other. “I love you.” She murmured pecking his lips back.

Alex: His one hand rested against her back and he brought the other up to cup her cheek, brushing his thumb over her cheek before letting his fingers tangle in her hair lightly. "I love you," he murmured softly, smiling against her lips. "God, I love you so much."

Sophie: His hand tangled in her red locks and she looked at him a blush settling on her cheeks when he said how much he loved her. “I know you do.” She said, “I love you so much too. Today was… I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way you know? Knowing that it’s going to be me and you the rest of our lives. I couldn’t be happier.” She said and she fully meant it.

Alex: Alex shook his head a little and chuckled softly. "I didn't even take time to plan out how to ask you... You would've deserved so much more," he sighed softly. He knew Sophie was gonna argue that it was just right the way it happened, and he didn't want to argue, not now, not that, so he leaned in to capture her lips in a soft, lingering kiss. When that finally broke, he smiled at her." Good night, baby."

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 18X01

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I was really excited for the Premiere and I have never been so disappointed in my life. It took me a few days to write this review because I’m just so unimpressed. I feel like the only interesting parts of the Season 18 Premiere were the Meredith and Hayes FaceTime call, Levi in that outfit and Jo with that hair, and the interviews. That's it. I mean Teddy and Owen’s two weddings were interesting if you’re a Teddy and Owen shipper, but I never have been so that didn’t really do anything for me.

The pacing of the episode was super slow and it was just altogether boring. There were also just so many inconsistencies. For example, Teddy and Owen originally planned to get married at the park with just Megan, Farouk, Evelyn, Leo, and Allison which doesn’t make sense because prior to their break up they were talking about planning their dream wedding. Now they finally get married and Richard didn’t even know about it? They asked Megan to fly in, but they didn’t tell their friends at the hospital after they just all attended Maggie and Winston’s wedding two weeks earlier?

It’s also not clear if Meredith knows that they got married which is weird because she’s the main character of the show and was an integral part of Owen’s previous two weddings one of which was held at her house. Also, Amelia and Link weren’t there and it’s not clear if they even knew about the wedding which is weird because Meredith, Amelia, and Link were all present when Owen proposed to Teddy at Christmas at Meredith’s house and they are all co-parenting Leo together.

While I appreciated the shift to a lighter tone and that they chose to have this season exist in a post-COVID alternative universe where we can see the actors faces again without the PPE and return to escapism the Premiere didn't pack the punch I was expecting. The premieres are usually super shocking and action packed and this one just wasn't. It was just boring and all of the most interesting stuff happened off camera during the two weeks between the Season 17 Finale and the Season 18 Premiere which is just stupid.

I saw the priest getting hit by one of the cyclists coming a few minutes before it happened based on the promo and the context of the scene and there wasn't a big shocking event like there usually is. The pace of the Premiere really felt off to me. My friend Amy who I watch with every week described it as the pacing you usually associate with a nice stroll through a moonlit garden. Fine for episode two or three or a connecting episode but not the Premiere. I feel like they really misjudged what fans were looking for and I’m hoping that they do the work and course correct now that the Premiere has aired and the completely dismal fan reaction as come out.

One of the few bright spots for me was the introduction of Peter Gallagher as Dr. David Hamilton. I love him as an actor! He's great! His recent roles in Grace and Frankie and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist were fantastic! I was super excited when I heard he was coming to Grey's. I like Dr. Hamilton so far and I'm interested to see how his relationship with Ellis and Meredith having dreams about her mother following her battle with COVID will play into the story this season. While it would be interesting to see Meredith work in Minnesota temporarily like Cristina did back in Season 9, I don't want her there permanently. Seattle is as much a character in the show as any of the main characters we've come to love, and something would be missing for me if she moved.

To be perfectly honest, it doesn't make much sense to me for Meredith to move to Minnesota permanently when she only knows a few people there. Who would watch her kids? If she's going to move to me, it makes more sense for her to move to Kansas where Alex is or Switzerland where Cristina is. Her kids have already lost their father and so many other caregivers and Meredith has stuck it out in Seattle for so long after everything that's happened that her moving to Minnesota for me would be bonkers.

Also, where were her kids in the Premiere? All of the interviews that came out prior to the Premiere talked about how Meredith’s focus at the beginning of the season would be on her work and her kids, but they were nowhere to be found in the Premiere and it’s not clear whose watching them while Meredith is in Minnesota. The interviews also made it seem like Meredith and Hayes would still be circling each other at the start of the season with quotes about how timing hadn’t been on their side, that they still needed to have an official drink and go out on a date, and that while Meredith wasn’t looking for a relationship one might find her.

That had literally nothing to do with the Premiere we saw whatsoever! The kids were MIA and it turned out that Meredith and Hayes started dating off screen following Maggie and Winston’s wedding and we didn’t get to see ANY of the firsts they talked about so much over the last two seasons. So stupid. The Premiere was a total rip off. I hate that Nick Marsh is back and I’ve never gone from liking a character and an actor to hating them in such a short period of time ever. My God. I’m so pissed off about this. What the hell were they thinking? Why did they think we would want this at all?

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Nick Marsh as a character and Scott Speedman's portrayal of him when he first showed up in Season 14. I was all ready for him to be Meredith's next great love and I was on board. But then he disappeared and was never heard from again and it was reported that Speedman wanted to take a break from TV for a while so I mourned the loss of what could have been and moved on. I sat through the out of character nonsense that was the DeLuca storyline in the belief that eventually that storyline would end, and Meredith would get a real proper love interest that made sense and would be her post-Derek endgame.

So, I was really excited when they introduced Hayes and I have really come to love his character and his budding relationship with Meredith. I feel like I've been waiting forever to finally see them go on a date and I am super pissed off that we didn't get to see it. I would have loved this storyline with Nick if they had introduced it at any previous point in time, but now after they've spent so much time setting up Meredith and Hayes it's just infuriating. I feel immense rage over how they handled Meredith and Hayes and Meredith and Nick’s storylines in the Premiere. I'm so angry. The whole thing just made no sense. That Premiere should never have aired. It never should have gotten past the draft stage. It was that bad. The first date and all of the firsts that come with a new relationship are the most exciting parts of a romantic storyline for me and I love seeing all of that on screen. They hyped Meredith and Hayes’ relationship up so much and even had the two of them talk about 'firsts' and dating after death so for their first date to happen off screen along with Austin's panic attacks and bad reaction to his Dad starting to date again is just such a rip off.

I have stuck with this show through thick and thin and for them to reward that loyalty by having the most interesting parts of that storyline happen off screen while showing a bunch of stuff on screen with other characters that they could have just told us about? So ridiculous. I was so excited for this season and now I'm just angry. I'm hoping that they are building to a big mid-season finale where Meredith is going to return to Seattle and by that time Bailey will have helped Hayes out with Austin and the two of them will finally get together on screen but I'm starting to feel like every time I get invested in one of the Meredith's new love interests, they pull the rug out from under me and I'm getting really fed up.

In other news, I'm not too surprised that Megan and Riggs broke up off screen only because Virgin River, which I love, just got picked up for two more seasons and I imagine Martin Henderson is busy filming that and it looks like Megan is going to be around for a while and they had to explain it somehow. I loved Meredith and Riggs together and I hated how they ended that storyline so I'm not sad about them breaking up off screen.

The Premiere also broke my heart over Amelia and Link’s storyline. It’s just so stupid. It’s drama for drama’s sake that’s all it is and it’s tired. When did marriage become so important to Link? In the span of a few months, he went from being totally fine with not getting married and checking in with Amelia every few weeks on how she felt to convincing himself that Amelia wanted him to propose so he did so at her sister's wedding and used her dead brother's children to do it. Amelia's right the whole thing was super messed up and manipulative and she was right to say no.

Link decided marriage was important to him and that fostering Luna would be totally fine without ever talking to Amelia. Yes, Amelia should have shared her thoughts with him too, but he also should have paid attention. Now their otherwise healthy relationship is over because she doesn't want to participate in an archaic ritual that involves signing a contract and exchanging vows? That's just stupid. I hope they find a way to work it out and get back together because I really like them as a couple.

I like Dr. Michelle Lin the new Head of Plastic of Surgery that Bailey and Richard are looking to hire. I thought for sure after that photo of the other guy made the rounds on social media that he was going to be the new Head of Plastics, but then he said that he doesn't do "free" and I knew he was out. I'm excited for there to be another female surgeon of colour on the show as the gender and racial balance on the show has been more white and male as of late and I think Grey's is at its best when you have a roughly equal number of women and men and as many different races being represented as possible.

I think it makes the storylines more interesting and authentic and personally gives me more characters that I can identify with. This new doctor seems driven, determined, and could have a potentially interesting dynamic with Richard and Bailey. She’s also giving me some Cristina Yang vibes and I’m all for that. I love Cristina. Always have. Always will. That being said, I'm a bit confused as to where they are going with Jo's storyline as I thought for sure the new Head of Plastics would be a guy and her new love interest. But Bailey did say they still needed to hire a new general surgeon and a new neurosurgeon so maybe one of them will be for her?

I can't really say that there was anything I loved about the Premiere which is disappointing. Jo's parenting hair dye mishap was funny, Levi's outfit cracked me up, and I liked that Bailey agreed to help Hayes out, but that's about it. The thing I was most excited for coming into this season was Meredith finally being back on her feet and seeing the romantic storyline between her and Hayes finally come to fruition.

Finding out that she's going to be in Minnesota for the foreseeable future, she and Hayes started dating off screen but had to call it quits because seeing his Dad date someone new caused Austin to have panic attacks, and finding out that Nick Marsh is back? I hated it. I don't understand how the same person who wrote the Season 16 masterpiece “Snowblind” with that amazing snow scene between Meredith and Hayes wrote the Premiere. I just don't understand. I really hope they're not going to do a love triangle with Meredith, Hayes, and Nick because that would just be so stupid.

She's a forty something award-winning surgeon who's a widowed single mother of three. Love triangles made sense when she was young intern, but at this point it's just dumb. I also didn't feel the chemistry this time around between Meredith and Nick like I did the first time. It felt forced and flat. I like Maggie and Winston together, but I didn't find their storyline in the Premiere particularly engaging. I'm glad that Amelia stayed true to herself, but I hate that Link has decided marriage is the only way forward and that they're still fighting.

The only moment that really made me laugh out of the hour was when Jo opened the door and Levi was in that ridiculous outfit. I loved the FaceTime call between Meredith and Hayes, but I hated the context. Honestly, I'm not really excited about any upcoming storyline this season which makes me really sad. I'm usually super positive and hopeful when it comes to this show, but this episode just stomped all over my dreams. All I can hope for now is that they pull a twist and everything I was hoping for happens in the mid-season finale otherwise I don't think I'm going to like this season very much.

Until next time!

Godzilla vs Kong: A Good Christian Film

It was Easter weekend, so I had wanted to check out a good Christian film. There is some new hotness out there called "A Week Away".

It's a musical, about a troubled teen, who breaks the law; his options are then to either go to juvie or go to a Christian camp. Obviously, this teen would be white:) It's a spellbinding tale about right and wrong, about Jesus, and from the looks of the poster, it's also about some Christian booty - and the power thereof to save this young man's soul.

I was all set to watch it, but somehow "Godzilla vs Kong" ended up on my screen instead. 

Weird, right??

But, I can find Jesus in any movie. I was sure I could find Him in this movie too, so I let this weird phenomenon take me:)

The trailer of G vs K had me hyped!

Godzilla and Kong, going WWE in various cities as their ring. I'm sold!

Then, they said "and here's the cast!" I really didn't care about the cast. I mean...  let's say that a young Mike Tyson, time travels to 2021 and says he wants to fight Conor McGregor. 

Young Time Traveling Mike Tyson vs McGregor??!! Are you kidding me??!! The world would literally stop as these two fought (aka Tyson murdering McGregor in the ring). 

And then, the promoters spent all their time hyping Mike and Conor's training staff, and the ref, and the people calling the fight, and why these two are fighting - WHO CARES?! Some fights don't require much promo.

Unless they're going to interview Kong and Godzilla (and how great would that have been??), idc.

But, this movie sure does, so let's go through them, briefly:

Rebecca Hall - 

 I love her! I don't care about her in this movie, but I love her. She is the top smarty-pants scientist who's out there trying to manage this big thing(Kong). She's kinda like Dr. Fauci.

There's a cute,little deaf kid who everyone tells me is special. 

I'm not going to make fun of this character, though I'd really like to, because she does some silly things. But, what kind of asshole makes fun of a cute, little deaf kid??

Alex Skarsgard -

He's eye-candy. Fun Fact: he learned sign language, so he could better communicate with Kaylee Hottle (cute, little deaf kid - who in real life, is a cute, little deaf kid). That's awesome! - he's still simply eye-candy.

Eiza Gonzalez - 

They needed a Hispanic person on the team.

Millie Bobby Brown - 

Her character is annoying, boring, and disrespectful to her dad (a triple threat). She kept referencing the last Godzilla movie (which in it, apparently, her and her dad had issues), as if anyone watched/remembers that movie.

Annnnnd there's a crazy black guy in this

 - he's kinda like Alex Jones.

More interested now? Nah, me either.

Can we please get to the fight now?!

Nope, gotta talk about "the why?" first: 

You see...  

...

Godzilla... um... see, there's some sort of energy that... we need, cuz ya gotta have energy, right?? So, Kong... he... *sigh* damn. He's tracking the energy, but Godzilla is big like Kong, so... there was a war a long ago? Some rich dude is building some THING... there's a planet and a tunnel... and Kong has axe. Boom! PLOT! Kong works with the humans a lot here, which doesn't make much sense. It seems to me that the humans are doing just as much damage to him as Godzilla. Again, I don't care. Just say that Godzilla said Kong's mama is fat and ain't got no teeth, and that would have been enough for me.

An axe though??? What the hell??

JUST FIGHT!

When they finally do fight, it's very cool!

They fight in the water. 

There's an epic battle at the end on some surreal planet full of butt eaters. Not joking, there's a scene where some creature swoops down and starts eating some dude's butt. I hope we learn more about Butteater Planet some day.

Like I said, Kong has an axe (and it's magical... yep) 

And there's some Mortal Kombat-type action that goes on as well.

I loved the fighting, but it was only about 7-10 mins of the movie (and I'm probably being generous). The other hour and fifty minutes are about the cast and "the plot". It's called Godzilla vs Kong, dammit! That's all I need! It's the only reason I'm there! It's the only reason I didn't watch a privileged white boy sing songs about how he found love (in his loins) at a Christian Camp!

I recommend fast-forwarding  through to the fights. 

Better yet, just find the fights on Youtube. Trust me, the rest of the movie doesn't matter. The fights are dope, 

but not enough in comparison to all of the bullshit surrounding them.

I would have rather have had 30 mins of fighting, maybe a couple of breaks for them to sit down, drink some water, and get coached up... maybe have some comedians commentate (Chappelle and Burr, maybe), and right back to it. If they do this again, tell the actors to get out of the way!

Grade: D-

I think I found the Jesus in this though:

Many pay attention to church twice a year. A lot of long drawn-out services. BUT, you can skip around, to get to the good stuff if you'd like.

If you want the gospel - BOOM John 3:16 - now you don't even need to sit through the service (and what makes a long service longer? - watching it online as many did to escape The Ronas)

If you want your shot of religion, so as to not feel guilty until Christmas, then skip the Catholic services, skip the "Black churches" , cuz if you don't, you'll be streaming that service all day and all night. Find that little church, who doesn't have a staff or musicians yet, their tech might not even work right for the live broadcast, the feed could go out on you, but hey... it still counts for that Easter credit.

My point is, Jesus doesn't want you to waste your time, so don't watch this movie. Amen?

Amen.

Patreon Membership Drive: Turbo Championship Hyper Fighting Edition!

Hello all you happy people! For those wondering “who the hell is this.” I”m Jake Mattingly. I review animation and comics here on this tumblr 5 times a week, and love doing so. I do so by recapping an episode of an animated show or a volume of a comic piece by piece, how detailed depends on the work and how condensed it needs to be, analyzing the episode and sometimes throwing in some jokes because i’m a silly weirdo and tis my nature. 

 So far i’ve been able to scrape by with the help of my patreon’s kev and emma, with Kev suplimenting that iwth various comissions (I.e. paying me to review a specific episode of a show much like someone would comissoin). But I don’t want to place my entire finacial future in the hands of two people so last month I lauched my patreon membership, trying to get people to join my patreon to releive some of the pressure on them. And not a person signed on during the first month. 

But I realize a large part of that is I simply didn’t advertise propertly, not really explaning what it is I do, what they get, or throwing in any extra incentives for signing up apart from “If so many people pledge to my patreon i’ll do X review” Which is still the main thrust of my campaign but I realized I need MORE than that to give you all proper money for your buck, especailly with Tumblr trying to monteize in the most half assed way possible making people presumibly more wary of spending money on me. 

So for this promo i’m going into what it is I review exactly, how to sign up for my patreon and how any of that works, what you get out of it, and various juicy stretch goals i’m hoping ya’ll can help me reach so

WHAT IS IT YOU DO EXACTLY?

As I mentioned above I review animation and comics, more animation than comics. My meat and potatoes are Disney Duck works, primarily the 2017 reboot and the Don Rosa and Carl Barks comics. For the former i’ve done retrospectives on Lena’s arc, the Della storyline from season 2 and ALL the Season 2 storylines, the last one currently in progress. I intend to review the entire series, the lackluster tie in comics, and the this duckburg life podcast, though the last one has some strings attached we’ll get to under my goals.  I”ve also been reviewing various Carl Barks first apperances and most importantly doing a complete retrospective on Don Rosa’s masterwork the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. 

I also review certain shows week to week, almost entirely Disney as aside from the True Colors Debacle they have the most reliable schedule and announce release dates farther in advance than Cartoon Network and Nick which just sorta pop up announce things. I covered all of season 3 of Ducktales and season 2 of amphibia (With season 3 coverage coming in october) and i’m currently reviewing Owl House every week till that hiatus hits. 

Finally i’m currently looking at all the Tom Luictor episodes of star vs the forces of evil tracking both Tom’s character arc and the show’s steady decline straight into the dumps. 

Comics wise i’m more sporadic but in addition to duck comics stuff, I’ve also been doing a retrospective on the Scott Pilgrim franchise: all 6 volumes of the comic, those reviews avaliable now and in two weeks from this post, just in time for  the video game and movie anniversaries to finish things up. I recently started another one for the comic book Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, I intend to finish one I did for New X-Men, and I have a few in my mind’s eye I want to do soon on John Ostrandre’s Suicide Squad run, Justice League International, and Mega Man that i’m going to do pilots for to see if anyone’s interested. 

Finally recently i’ve started doing quick thoughts, quick reviews on recent stuff from trailers to full on movies I don’t have to cover normally. 

So What Is Your Patreon?

Patreon is a site where creators can get paid for work and can put up exclusive content and what not. You pledge anywhere from a dollar a month, and become one of my patrons and help me do this blog for a living. I genuinely love writing about media, analyzing it and making weird jokes, and this lets me do that as my job and my passion. I simply don’t want to put finacing that on the backs of only two people. 

So What’s In It For Me?

Unlike Tumblr itself I feel my supporters deserve to get the most bang for their buck. As such Patreon Membership starts at JUST ONE DOLLAR. That’s right for a dollar a month, 12 bucks a year so the price of a movie, you get access to my occasoinal exclusive reviews, exclusive poles once I get more than two members so that’s actually sensical to do to vote on reviews, and to pick a theatrical short when i review a bunch of them for character birthdays or holidays or just cause. 

In addition to these though i’ve decided to sweeten the pot. ON SIGN UP ANY PATREON OF ANY TIER GETS ONE FREE REVIEW OF ANY SINGLE EPISODE OF TELEVISION OR ISSUE OF A COMIC BOOK. That’s right for just one buck, you get a review of your choice. Whatever you want. You want to force me to watch something you hate so someone else can bitch about it for you? Go on about an episode yo ulove? shine a light on something obscure? Well i’m your man and for ONE BUCK A MONTH, you can get that. Whatever you want put on my schedule as soon as I have room and your payment’s gone through. 

And if you want me to review stuff on a more regular basis, five bucks a month gets you a review a month, same permaiters as above along with said free review. I will PERSONALLY make sure there’s a space on the schedule every month for your patreon review and review whatever you want no matter how good, bad or stuppid. 

But that’s not ALL. 

STRETCH GOALS:

To explain these better than what I did next time: My stretch goals are goals on my patreon: if I hit a certain number of Patreons I will review (Insert Thing Here) And these are meaty projects too: full season reviews, retrospectives and what have you and something’s unlocked with each person who signs up, adjusted from orignally basing it on price. So your dollar a month not only gets you your own review, but also will get my solemn vow to review a bunch of other thigns, and the more people who sign up the more thigns I’ll add to my plate. Not only that but just for this pledge drive i’m adding a bunch of super neat drive exclusvie stretch goals that will VANISH AT THE END OF AUGUST. dosen’t mean I won’t EVER do these reviews, but it does mean i’ll probably sit on them a bit. 

TLDR: You singing up gets me to guarantee to review some extra stuff. 

SO WHAT ARE THE GOALS. 

I”m glad you asked. Each one is based on a person joining, so 

REGULAR PATREON GOALS THAT AREN’T GOING TO EXPIRE BUT ARE STILL PRETTY NEAT:

One goal for each new patreon so

1 New Patreon: Starting off light but still juicy, I will review the complete season one of Amphibia across two posts. I’ve already rewatched the season recently, so all someone has to do is sign up and i’ll get on it in septmeber in time for season 3! And that’s not the only show as i’ll also review BOTH seasons of the birdtastic show after my own heart Tuca and Bertie! 

2 New Patrons: This one’s a big lighter but you still get some neat things: for my scottaholics in the audience I will review the rest of Brian Lee O’Malley’s works so far: Lost at Sea (his first graphic novel) Seconds (his first post scott work) and Snotgirl (his first ongoing and first work he didn’t draw himself), which follow a girl trying to reclaim her soul/cat, an immature restrauntieur who discovers reality changing muschrooms, and an influencer who might of done a murder. For those who don’t really like Scott Pilgrim i’ll review a buch of paramount plus shows first seasons: Kamp Korral, the rugrats rugboot and iCarly. So if any of that sounds good get on the bus won’t you?

3 New Patrons: My juicest one and one that stands alone: I will review the complete first season of the Owl House across two posts. Every episode, every bit of lumity progressoin, every bit of foreshadowing in hindsight, all for you, all if three people join my patron. So if you want more bisexual magic, step up. 

4 New Patrons: Duck Goals Woo-Ooo! This one unlocks a review from Duck Master Carl Barks EVERY MONTH. Not only that I will be taking suggestoins from my patrons , meaning you can help decide which ones I do! And while tha’ts plenty i’m jucing this one up as getting me this far also nets a review of This Duckburg Like, the interquel podcast that’s given us our last ducktales content for what will likely be an eternity. 

5 New Patrons: Gravity Falls Retrospective! I”m not only talking both season of Alex Hirsch’s era defining masterpice, but also the side materials I have acess to: the shorts, Journal #3, and the lost legends tie in comic. I”d throw legend of the gnome gemulets in there two if I had a working 2ds or 3ds bu tas it stands this is what I got. 

6 New Patrons: Avatarverse Retrospective. No not James Cameron the Bravest Pioneer’s movie he wants to turn into a franchise despite NO ONE wanting this please stop James, we’re begging you. Of course i’m talking about Avatar the Last Airbender, the epic franchise that’s blowing up in size. This will include all three books of Avatar: The Last Airbender, All Four Books of the Legend of Korra, and all the juicy side stuff I can cover: the sequel comics for both series, the kioshi novels and the eye gougingly bad M Night Shamlyn Movie. Yes I really will   myself to that. I have not till now i’m happy that way but I will sufer for you. Speaking of suffering:

7 New Patrons: It’s a crapstravaganza!  If i’ve made it this far I clearly have enough fan support that I can fly into the eye of the crapstorm so i’m going to review some of the worst things I can think of:  * Chuck Austen’s X-Men the run that dared to ask the tough questions your coke addleed uncle you don’t let see your kids would like “What if Angel could cure AIDS with his blood and had sex with a minor while her parents watched?” “What if a rouge relgious sect tried to make Nightcrawler pope and then desingrate people with commuiion wafers in a scheme that makes no sense?” and “What if an x-man made a plant horny?”  * America: The comic that has the infamous and oft used by me line to compare it to other bad lines “What in the holy menstration are you doing here”. And it’s still not the most bonkers thing int his somehow 12 ISSUE SERIES tha twastes one of marvels best creations.  * The Prince: Aka that series HBO what farted out onto the service with no intention of renewal after realizing “Holy shit we greenlit this what is wrong with us” which is basically family guy but with the royal family. I’d say it was a somehow worse family guy but Famiily Guy once had an episode that was about 22 minutes of transphobic punchlines so as long as there isn’t an episode of that your good.  * Mordecai is a Bastard Man: Aka that arc of Regular Show that took a ship I really liked, Mordecai and CJ, and then destoryed it with cheating, attempted murder and saxophone.  *Star Vs Final Arc: Aka a look at how a once great show descended into a mess with unfinished plot lines, wasted characters and a finale so terrible it’s only topped by “Kids this is the story of how I really want you to say it’s okay to bang aunt robin” 8 New Patrons: Infinity Train, all four books and any finale movie if it happens. (Please let it happen) All aboard! 9 New Patrons: Two juicy disney retrospectives! The Incredibles (both movies and both comics series) and Darkwing Duck (Both the Boom! and Joe Books runs) Let’s get incredibly dangerous! 10 New Patrons: My highest tier for now and i’ts anothe rdouble feature and two big projects. If you get me this far, you’ve earned em: A She Ra and the Pricesses of Power Retrospective and a Bojack Horseman retrospective. The two greatest things Netflix has made back to back for life. 

And THAT’S NOT ALL... as I said I have some special stretch goals JUST FOR THIS PLEDGE DRIVE. 

SPECIAL DRIVE SPECIFIC GOALS BABY!:

These are a simple five extra projects for hitting the goals within the rest of the drive FROM AUGUST 1ST TO AUGUST 31ST. I will not add these to the regular goals for a full year if you do not reach them, so one buck helps you unlock projects that otherwise might not happen for YEARS. Like the other goals their measured by patrons but ONLY for this month sooooo

1 New Patron: Quack Pack series review! the most hated Disney Afternoon show in one big two part review. God help me. 2 New Patrons: Rise of the TMNT Retrospective: Both seasons, a movie and regular coverage on the offchance a third season hopefully gets greenlit.  3 New Patrons: Peanuts and Garfield Specials retrospective!: Retrospectives for the technicolor years long world of Peanuts specials and the shorte rlived but still neat garfield specails. All the specials plus all the animated movies for both!  4 New Patrons: Craig of the Creek-AThon: Rewatching season one and watching BOTH seasons i’ve missed since then with full reviews as well as reviews of each bomb of episodes as their released on teh app from here on out!  5 New Patrons: Steven Universe Retrospective!

“Last Holiday” and the Beginning of the End

Hi wow I missed this show so very very much.

First off, I really love Jeremy Adams, this episode was such a nice, fun one with great emotional arcs and lost of funny moments.  I’m kinda sad this is his last SPN episode, because the three he was involved in writing are all so great (we all know how I feel about “Last Call”)

This episode is just straight up funny.  Jeremy is really good at pulling jokes from episodes (”Meat Man” “I killed Hitler”) and making them flow pretty seamlessly in the dialogue.

What struck me first, when Mrs. Butters first appeared, is how willing Dean is to let her in and let her do her own thing in the Bunker.  He’s not a particularly trusting dude, and it took a little bit for me to understand it, but I think I figured it out.  Dean isn’t used to being taken care of.  Hell, he’s literally been the one taking care of others the entire time.  He’s the nester, the clean freak, the one who cooks for them.  He’s spent a lot of time taking care of others, and you can kinda see why he might be okay with Mrs. Butters taking care of him for a change.

Also????  Sam fuckin Winchester???  “Ignoring your trauma doesn’t make you healthy”?????  Go OFF king.

Also I just...man, I love Jack.  I really really really love Jack.  I’m so excited that he has his soul back, I’m so glad that he and Dean are on the path to healing. 

HIS LITTLE WAVE WHEN HE MEETS HER I LOVE HIM.

“What are you?” (which??  leave my grieving son boy alone?)

“He’s a millennial, but don’t let that throw you, he’s a good kid.”

Ok fine Dean I’m just a wreck that’s fine.

Jack’s guilt is so palpable, I feel like we haven’t always gotten to see this kind of nuance from Jack, but Alex is so so great, I’m really looking forward to seeing Jack’s journey through the rest of the season.

Them having a real Christmas together?  Everything.  The montage of holidays?  Cleared my skin.  Sam wearing a birthday hat?  Cleared my skin.  Dean being excited about his birthday?  Watered my crops.

“Son of a bitch” coming from Jack just.......I’m emo.

SAM GOING ON A DATE WITH E I L E E N JEREMY ADAMS SAID SAILEEN RIGHTS

Also very interesting that when Mrs. Butters tosses Dean in the dungeon with Jack and starts talking about “infection” she mentions the snake in the garden, who Jack literally just interacted with in the last episode.  Obviously the snake in that situation was more of a healing thing, but it is interesting that it’s mentioned by her right after Jack comes back from the garden.

The fact that Dean Winchester would not cockblock Sam if his life depended on it...absolutely legendary.

Dean’s emotional honesty to Jack is absolutely staggering and would definitely not have happened if the man hadn’t broken in half in Purgatory in episode 9 I am js.

Also boy oh man Dean sure didn’t see anything in the telescope because there are no other worlds left huh?  Fucking yikes Chuck.

LISTEN I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT BUT THIS BIRTHDAY CAKE IS ALL I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE NEXT SEVEN TO TEN BUSINESS DAYS

I thought it was interesting that the vast majority of both promos we’ve seen were comprised of footage in this episode.  I know they did that in the “Drowning” SPPT promo, making things from a funny episode seem really dark, but it draws attention to the fact that there are only a few moments of the remaining episodes we’ve seen now, we’re mostly riding blind.

Which brings me to the very end of the episode, in the promo for next week in fact, at the very final second.  What literally brought me to my knees in my own home.

“In case something goes wrong, there’s something you and Sam need to know.”

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Now I don’t think this is the ~tearful~ scene that we’ve seen in the other promos (I definitely did not directly compare them bc that would be weird and unlike me).  I’m pretty sure that scene happens later down the road, but uhhhhhhhhh looks like we gotta buckle up for next week bois.

All in all, I loved the episode.  I thought it was fun and funny and sweet.  I thought it was the perfect episode to come back to.  And I really, really, really missed this show.

updated tag dump (most are the same ... but they look nicer now <3) shall do the verses tomorrow

Riding Dirty

A/N: Sorry this took so long to get done. Alex needs more loves me thinks ;-)

Plot: You’re horny but Alex is jet-lagged; so you find a happy middle ground to ride his bare thigh.

Pairing: Alexander Skarsgard X Reader Warnings: Smut (duuh!!)

--- --- ---

When I walked into my apartment I instantly knew Alex was home; it had only been a couple or three months but facetime doesn’t bring full satisfaction - the feeling of someone else’s heat against you. Alex is sat in the living room on the sofa, he’s slouched right down until he could lean his head back over the cushions comfortably and is dozing lightly.  The TV is on low and all the lights are out; plan A was obviously out of the window at this point as there’s no denying how tired he is from travel.  

I hang up my bag and slip off my shoes then head over to gently curl up beside Alex and wake him; he stirs as I sit and opens his eyes slowly, an instant smile spreading across his unshaven face.  

“Hey baby girl!” Alex turns his head fully and kisses me sweetly. “Hey.  You been back long?” I keep my voice quiet. “Few hours. My body clock is all off.” he rubs his face and stretches himself so much that his tee rises up from the band of his shorts and I see stomach skin; I fail to hide my small whimper and he bursts out laughing. “I did wonder how long it would be…” he smiles, I know he’s kidding around. “Can’t help it…. I missed you….. And…. you….” I smirk and try to put on my best ‘playing coy’ act.  It doesn’t work. “Well...I’m afraid I cannot help… I’m exhausted and so is my dick.  The mind is very willing but my body is not.” he chuckles. “Sorry baby.” I pout and huff a little, looking up at him under my lashes “Do you have any ideas to help me?” “You do have that new pink thing… that was a fun video.” “But I don’t get to feel you against me.” I shuffle a little and lean up gaining a raised eyebrow from him.

“You so have an idea running through your head.” he smirks and watches me as I nod. “And what is this idea you have?” I grin and kiss Alex slowly, my hand caressing his cheek as I lean up and use my free hand to hitch up my skirt to push down my panties; he has enough energy to help me out with that part and tries to move his hand between my legs.

“Nu-uh..” I shake my head and swat his hand away. Alex frowns “I thought-?” “You thought wrong… That’s not my idea.” I nip his lower lip and straddle his thigh.

“....Oh? ...Oh!” he smiles and licks his lips.

I giggle and lower myself down enough to just make contact between us and slowly run my pussy back and forth along his upper thigh; Alex lifts his leg a little to make closer contact.  I was going to tease and not show him how desperate I was for him to make me cum but that all just got blown to hell.  

“You’re filthy...you know that?” Alex keeps his voice low and close to my ear, his hand splays on my lower back then finds the zipper on my skirt. “I think this is gonna get in the way.”  He swiftly unzips the material then easily lifts it up my torso to guide it off over my head. “Much better.” “Those promo shots...where you’re in the shorts and tee on the beach?” I whisper against his lips. “Had me feeling all kinds of things.” “Like what?” he pecks at my lips teasingly. “Like how thicc those thighs are and how they’re practically begging to be ridden.” I roll my hips, lowering myself down fully onto his waiting thigh, my knee just resting against his crotch. “Damn baby...any part of me you won’t ride?” I shake my head and moan, wrapping my arms around his shoulders and pressing myself against him; Alex rests one hand on my lower back and the other on my ass then moves his thigh in time with my movements.  I keep my lips close to his ear, panting his name and moaning softly; my hips move easier the slicker my pussy makes his thigh and I find myself more desperate for that release.  I hadn’t realised just how badly I needed to feel Alex against me to feel satisfied, regardless of whether his cock was inside me or not. Alex moans quietly against my neck then sucks lightly on the skin that joins onto my shoulder, flexing his thigh as I ride it while his large hands guide my hips in their ever more frantic and desperate movements.

“Oh god…” I pant and grip the back of his shirt, whine his name and tilt my hips. “That’s it… just let go, don’t hold back.” Alex whispers to me; both encouraging and reassuring with his words. I whimper and bury my face against his neck inhaling his cologne.  I tense and call out silently against his skin as I cum, surprised at my body’s reaction to just riding his thigh and feeling his skin against mine. Alex holds me close and kisses up my jaw, “Feel a little better?” I nod and turn my head, blushing crimson. “Thank you..” “That was all you baby.” He smiles and pecks my nose. “Get some sleep now…. You’ll need it for when I wake up…”

splatoon promo kids name list cause its always a pain to try to look for them for me personally and i realized. i could change that!

NOTE: weapons are ALWAYS inconsistent with the promo kids. their names may be assigned to different models as well. their first appearance is what they are usually seen as, and whatever weapon they "main" are based on renders/what they use in trailers.

SPLATOON 1

The skin tones are very inconsistent with everyone pictured.

TOP ROW: Kaori, John, Mizuho, Rul

BOTTOM ROW: Pit, Laura, Yuriko, Yuya

Kaori and John are the "Agent 3"s. Yuriko and Yuya do not have official renders.

SPLATOON 2

The skin tones are inconsistent, mainly with those with darker skin tones (unfortunately).

TOP ROW: Surume, Cuttlefrsh (Cuttlefresh in the earliest known trailer), Kou, Kensaki

BOTTOM ROW: KelpShot, Splashley, Tof-U, Yari

Surume and Cuttlefrsh are the "Agent 4"s, though Cuttlefrsh/Male Agent 4 is only ever depicted once (discounting coroika). Yari does have a transparent render, I just prefer the one with the roller (though, I wish I could find the transparent version of it).

OCTO EXPANSION (bonus)

BONUS: even though the renders used to represent Agent 8 are wildly inconsistent, there's two regular octoling renders that people believe are linked to them. Their names come from Octolings that look very similar to them in the offline version of the lobby. (Patricia and Steven). Sometimes Patricia is referred to as Naomi due to misinfo. They're like, promo kid adjacent to me.

SPLATOON 3 (the most popular and consistent)

VeronIKA and TakoTruck's skintones are inconsistent :(

Eyecolors for VeronIKA, Hirooooo, and AnemoneNo1 are inconsistent

TOP ROW: VeronIKA, Hirooooo (five o's), AnemoneNo1, TakoTruck

BOTTOM ROW: Stephanie, kAyOss (the k is not meant to be capitalized im dumb, image is inaccurate), C4L4M4R, YARRwhal

VeronIKA and Hirooooo are the "Neo Agent 3"s (though, Hirooooo is only used once for the artbook)

There is also an instance where Hirooooo's name is misspelled (only four o's) but i didnt want to find the image

BONUS

Tof-U is technically present in one of the gameplay showcases(?) I believe it's an error

kAyOss used to look different and was most likely combined with the unrelated promotional character shown next to them (who was used for Wireglasses/Glassless in Coroika)

okay thats all! I'll reblog and add on any additions if necessary

[mila-dans]

Here it is:

“Baby, I know it hurts right now. Trust me I know because your pain hurts me more but this pain will leave our soul and all that will remain is love.” - Supernatural quote of the day (8/8) (327).

“The Famous Final Scene,” - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (one of the greatest rock writers of all time). 

This is the end.

Is it, though?

Sure it is.

Supernatural has been on for 15 years. Older than a majority of its viewers. One sci-fi show has not only been on but has SUCCESSFULLY premiered every year since 2005. This show is about two brothers fighting evil. That was the tag line, the selling point. Yeah sure its expanded and extended on the synopsis but not too much. Since season 4, we've had two brothers and an angel (another brother) fighting evil (disguised as good). Currently, we have two brothers and an angel (three fathers) and the son of Lucifer (son of the Winchesters (all three)) fighting evil (which happens to be the model for good). This is what the show is. Monsters, Demons, Angels, Hunters, rock music, that sweet 67' Chevy impala, a few fifths of whiskey, whole lot of women, and many references to the X-Files. Is this an accurate depiction of the show "Supernatural"?

Yes. And this show will end.

But, what will live on is so much better.

We aren't here for the props or costumes. The plot consistencies or the little smudge of extra makeup that is required to make the show perfection. We are here for not just the show...

We are here for the actors, the directors, the writers (sometimes), the makeup department, the lighting coordinators, the set designer. WE ARE HERE FOR THE PEOPLE

We are the FANDOM. We are the FAMILY.

Nothing will change that. The show will end. We know that. It's a hard to swallow pill and that's okay cause we are all taking those meds (along with some others)! We are like a net, hanging on to one another, becoming connected and interweaves. When the net gets a dip in it, when someone struggles to hang on, the rest of the net, the rest of us pull harder, become stronger. We have each other's backs. We may not like one another, we may hate one another's preferences or ships and some of us may even go extra lengths to satisfy whatever desires the show leaves us with but are any of those wrong? No. But to me, the show is too important to be nitpicky about who gets set up with who or what becomes canon or not. This show is a rock to me. It is a constant that I needed in my darkest times. But now, now I’m okay. I’m okay thanks to the show, but especially thanks to the fandom. To think that I only discovered the following in the past year out of the three that I’ve been watching it is bizarre. I feel as if I was welcomed into the family just the same as someone would’ve been if they saw the show when it first aired.

It’s crazy. All of it. Knowing that these characters will cease to exist in their true form and place brings me to the edge of insanity. But, I’ve got to remember, just as you have to remember that this is not the ending. Just A ending. This is just the ending of the production and creation of Supernatural. It is not the ending of the actors, the fanfics, the gifs, it’s not the ending of the fandom.

When you take away the aspect of having to film the show and produce a profitable episode, you become left with what the show has built. Love. Love of every kind. Love towards the show, to Misha, to Baby, to their wives and families, to everyone. This is the legacy the show has left for us to cherish and continue on with.

Always Keep Fighting. Love Yourself First. You Are Not Alone.

So many good things came from a single idea that came from a single man. Look at where we are now. We have the masses that aren’t just mindless followers supporting Jensen because he’s attractive of loving on Jared just cause he’s their type. No. We have a family that loves one another. This show has not only itself gotten me through hardships, but it gave me a family to motivate and push me forward. This show is the reason that I started praying again because for years I felt lost and discouraged but each night, just like when I first started, I pray for the crew, the actors, and so on and so on and all of their families. I call their kids out by name when praying. They are that important to me.

These men and women are not idols to me, they are not superstars. They are men who have made mistakes. Men who are far from perfect and that’s what I love about them. They don’t try to be something they’re not. To be upset with them because of bad actions is to hold them up to the standards of perfection which is impossible for any mere mortal to adhere by. Jared has gone through depression, anxiety, whatever you want to call it, he has been through hell and thanks to his family, he has come out the other side. Alex, Jim, Mark (2x), Kim, Ruth, etc., etc., are my family. Sure I might faint if Jensen looked directly at me but HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE LIPS?! Matt Cohen knows. 

We have built a family and we will stay a family when the show ends. Family is forever. Real family that is. What we have is real. Just like what the boys have been saying in the promos. “You ask what’s real? We are.” And it is true.

Morn for the loss of the show called Supernatural. Remember the speech Sam gave in “Metamorphosis” and then the one he gave in “Prophet and Loss.” Remember the pizza man and why six is afraid of seven. Remember Dean and his love for pie along with his love for Baby (And “PUDDING!” of course).

But now, go and watch the gag reels. Watch the convention videos and Misha’s directors cut of the show. Watch the reality that came from fiction.

We now only have the reality, the truth, the love, and the family to hang and hold onto. Don’t let it go. Don’t let that emotion fade. Let it grow. Save it for later when we hope and dream that one day it may return. We have hope, let’s use it. We have love, let’s give it.

I love my family. One of the best, if not the best, family I’ve ever had. Thank you for making me a apart of your family. Thank you for welcoming me into your home. thank you friends, thank you family.

LONG LIVE SUPERNATURAL

Conversations with Friends about the Future & Stuff

Putting out new music always left Alex feeling giddy and excited in a way rarely anything else did. It was a different kind of excitement he got from it, a high so different from the very happy highs and times he got when he was with Sophie and the kids, simply because it was a totally different thing after all. He was so happy not just having the new song out, but also the news about the upcoming album and the music video to the new single that he actually got to direct, that promo stuff felt a little like a blur to him. With their European tour starting soon and Sophie and him having spent time in London already, the boys had decided to come out to the UK and move rehearsing and promo work there, giving Alex more time to be with his family and not having to fly back and forth to see them. Especially not with how Avery had dealt with being on a plane for so long..

“Dude, we gotta go in,” Rian’s voice rang in his ear and Alex shook his head quickly, pulling himself from the train of thought and readying himself for the interview they were about to do. They talked about how writing new music went, how this new song came together and how the video came about. Alex smiled at the mention of him directing and nodded. “Yeah, I had this concept in my head and I know I went home after writing the song with Jack and Andrew, and I kinda had this whole vision in my head and I told my girlfriend about it,” he said, the smile on his lips widening without him really realizing, “I don’t think she really was a fan of the concept,” Alex laughed, “but I told her it would be kind of cool to dip my toes into the whole directing thing, with the vision in my head and all and she immediately said I should try – so I ended up doing that.” He wasn’t aware of how much his face had lit up at the mention of Sophie, how the boys had given themselves side glances thankfully not caught by any camera, and it wasn’t until they got out of the interview that Jack nudged his elbow into his side gently. “Are you serious?” he asked and Alex looked at him confused for a moment. “What?” Rian rolled his eyes. “Could you be any more in love with her?” Funny thing was, Alex couldn’t imagine a greater love than he felt for Sophie, he wasn’t sure anyone could fathom more love for one person than he did for her, and the same for the kids too in a way and he couldn’t help but smile goofily at the question. “If you’re not gonna marry her, you know one day I just will,” Jack joked and Alex almost growled, “hell no you won’t.” He nudged his friend back and while that was the end of the conversation, it spooked around in Alex’s mind constantly for the next few hours that they were out doing promo things.

He couldn’t really remember how he ended up in a jewelry store in London, but he found himself just kind of wanting to have a look, maybe see how it feels and now the lady at the desk was desperately trying to offer him almost every ring she had in store while none of them felt like they’d be the right pick. While he could plan some things out, Alex was often a spur of the moment kind of person and after that teased conversation earlier, it kind of clicked. There was a switch in his head that was turned and he just /knew/ he wanted Sophie, he wanted to give her everything she wanted in life and he absolutely did not want to even think about anyone else potentially ever considering making her a wife when it wasn’t him. “We have another one here,” the sales lady suggested and went on to explain all the little details of it, but Alex shook his head. He had his hands stuffed into his pockets and was feeling increasingly uncomfortable at this point. “No, no. You know what, I’ll take uh…” he looked around desperately and grabbed the first thing he could reach, “this.”

Of course the look on the lady’s face was hilarious when he handed her a paper weight and Alex realized how ridiculous this was, but he couldn’t just leave without anything at all now that he spent at least an hour occupying this lady’s time. He paid for the weight and turned to leave, eager to get out of the store when he stopped dead in his tracks as a ring to the far left side caught his attention. He wandered over and when he looked at it, taking in the little details, he just knew this had to be the one.

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 17X5

SPOILERS AHEAD!

I’m going to go right ahead and say it. This episode felt like a PSA to me, but it was well done. It was emotional and impactful and the storyline about Bailey’s Mom made me tear up, but at the same time the episode felt very stagnant and I feel like the lives of the other characters didn’t really move forward or go anywhere. It felt like they were all standing still. I liked the conversations between Jackson and Richard and Bailey and Maggie about how COVID has impacted black and brown people more than other races and how unfair that is and how politicians and decision makers need to pay more attention to that.

I loved the conversation between Bailey and Maggie. I liked that they addressed what happened with Maggie’s Mom because that storyline bothered the heck out of me. Maggie treated Meredith and everyone else horribly when all they did was try and help and then she forced her mother to undergo treatments she didn’t want because Maggie couldn’t handle the fact that she was dying and then they just dropped it. I’m glad to see that make a comeback and that Maggie has recognized that what she did and the way she behaved was wrong and is now using that experience to help others.

I loved their comments about guidance counsellors and others assume black people aren’t as bright or as capable as white folks and how insidious that is. It’s not something I’ve experienced myself as a white person, but I’m glad they’re highlighting it. This episode was written by Zoanne Clack who is a black woman and a former E.R. Physician. The previous episode was written by Julie Wong who is an Asian woman and I think it’s great they are utilizing the talent that they have so that people of colour can share their stories and their experiences on a global scale. 

By telling these stories through the lives of characters we know and love and can empathize with it allows people who will never have these experiences understand a little bit more. Representation is important and this show has always done a really good job in my opinion of highlighting important topics and social issues in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. These characters are fictional, but their stories are taken from the lives of real people and I think an important step in the process of creating a better fairer world is creating media that reflects people’s realities in order to cultivate empathy so that people who might not otherwise understand or get it have a window into that experience.

Maybe it changes their mind. Maybe it doesn’t. But the point is that it opens people’s minds to the possibility of seeing a side that they didn’t before and that is half the battle when trying to get people to understand someone else’s experience or point of view. I’m going to be seeing my family this holiday season virtually and in small groups from a safe distance. As is the case for many visiting with relatives over the holidays means having to listen to a lot of ignorant opinions, frustrating statements, and in some cases racial slurs and inappropriate remarks. 

So I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’m going to handle that this year because my tolerance for that crap has gone out the window. All this to say it’s nice to see good people fighting the good fight to get these stories out there to a global audience so that maybe some people will get it and maybe some good will come of it. And even if it doesn’t seeing characters and stories that represent you on screen is powerful and moving and wonderful and we all deserve that. I teared up watching Bailey suffer with the deterioration and death of her Mom.

The end scene where Bailey describes the patients she’s lost to COVID in the voice over while her and Richard sing ‘My Girl’ to give her Mom that moment of peace and a death with dignity got me. It really put a face on the disease. Watching her and her Dad struggle with it was so hard. I loved Bailey’s voice over where she shared info about the COVID patients she’d lost so far and who they were not just their disease. That was well done. Made me tear up.

I loved the talk between Meredith and Bailey at the hospital and on the beach. This episode wasn’t as shocking as the previous ones, but it was still good. I’m glad Meredith is getting better. I will miss the beach, but I’m excited to see her wake up, get better, and hopefully spend some time with Hayes. Which brings me to my chief complaint with this episode which is where the heck was Hayes?!?! This is the second episode he’s been absent from for no discernable reason and no explanation has been given as to where he is.

I did not sign up for this. A big part of the joy I felt when they announced that he was being upped to a main character was the implication that he was going to be given his own storylines and character development outside of Meredith and his relationships with Abigail, Liam, and Austin. But Hayes being absent when Meredith’s not awake robs of him that. Don’t get me wrong. I love Meredith and Hayes together and all I want is for them to be together and live happily ever after.

But, Hayes has such a rich and interesting backstory and there’s so much to explore there. Richard Flood who plays him brings such a wonderful depth to the character and he deserves to have his own story apart from Meredith and I really want to see him interact with the other characters more. We’ve seen him interact significantly with Jo and Bailey, but I’d love to see him interact with Maggie, Amelia, Jackson, and Owen more. His absence this episode reminds me of the episode after the Conference Episode last season where he was suddenly missing for no reason and they didn’t explain where he was.

I’m confused because he was upped to a main character just before this season started so he should be in every episode or almost every episode like the other characters are. I’m starting to get concerned that the actor who plays him has fallen ill or tested positive for COVID-19 or that he’s dealing with some kind of family emergency and so they had to cut him out of the episode last minute. I hope I’m wrong, but I honestly can’t think of another reason the actor would be missing for upwards of 2 to 4 weeks when these episodes were filmed.

I can’t see his absence being a story choice because it doesn’t make any sense and they haven’t addressed it on screen as they usually do when an actor has departed or needs time off and they have time to write that in. He also doesn't appear to be in the promo for next week’s episode which is strange considering it shows another meeting being held by Richard where some of the other department heads can be seen and we get shots of most of the other characters. After the Premiere aired he appeared in the promo for Episode 3 standing outside Meredith’s window and in that episode we saw them have a heart to heart that I thought was really beautiful and lovely.

At this point it’s unclear if Meredith even knows that Hayes is the one that found her and got her help and is distraught over her condition. He’s the head of Peds which is a pretty important department. Where the heck is he? They can gladly write off other characters in the second half of the season to give him more screen time in my opinion. I really hope the actor and his family are okay.  I’d also hate for his sudden absence to wreck Meredith’s storyline.

I love their friendship and flirtations and I’d hate to see her wind up alone or with someone that clearly isn’t right for her and that she doesn’t really love because something unexpected happened with the actor. I really really hope he’s in the mid-season finale next week! Jo suddenly declaring that she wants to quit general surgery to become an OBGYN came out of nowhere and makes no sense to me.

She spent years being with and then married to the Head of Pediatric Surgery and was decidedly lukewarm on the idea of having kids or even being near them. So her and Alex split and in the wake of that she randomly decides she wants to be an OBGYN and deliver babies? What the heck? I’m also confused because I feel like Hayes should have been there because it was a Peds case and he wasn’t and if Jo wants to re-specialize it would make sense for her to talk to Carina or Hayes.

Carina’s a main character on Station 19 and is still reoccurring on Grey’s so she can talk to her for an episode or two, but anymore than that and I think that would fall under Hayes perview because he’s a main character. But he’s currently MIA and we don’t know why. I did love Jo’s scenes with Levi though. They’re always hilarious and I think they bounce off of each other really well. I’m glad that Tom improved and apparently isn’t dying.

I like him with Teddy and I hope they get back together at some point. I’m glad they are choosing to be friends again. More than anything I want Teddy to pick a lane here. Owen or Tom. Pick one and go with it. Stop flip flopping all over the place like a fish out of water. Teddy’s a hot mess these days. I liked Amelia’s speech to Teddy. She has feelings about what Teddy did and didn’t do, but as she says she herself has done horrible things, some of them involving Owen, so she’s not in any place to judge, but she also doesn’t want to be friends with Teddy or really talk to her. And that’s fair. I have to say I love Amelia post-tumour. She’s great.

Also what happened to Casey Parker the resident from last season who was transgender and former military? I really liked him! Where did he go? I’d much rather see him that DeLuca or Nico on screen. Based on what I caught of next week’s promo it looks the COVID situation at Grey Sloan is about to get worse. We see Richard addressing staff in the cafeteria saying that they need to prepare for a surge of patients and that their patient load could double. We’re in May in the current Grey’s timeline so that fits.

It’s apparently also a cross over. I don’t want another cross over. I want to know where the hell Hayes is! And it looks like Amelia is back in the OR and the doctors are treating two teenagers who were kidnapped and held captive. Yikes! And we see Meredith smiling at someone on the beach before suddenly waking up. My guess is that it’s Derek and we are finally going to get to see them embrace and then Meredith is going to return to the land of the living. And hopefully interact with Hayes.

Until next time!

Love is a Chemical

Summary: Remy just wants to know why the hell Logan is so pissed. Logan says something he shouldn't have, and suddenly all Remy wants is to leave.

Warnings: Invalidation of feelings

Pairing: Losleep

Oh and honorary @sleepless-in-starbucks tag bc losleep :D

Notes: Still on mobile, so no read more or promo links unfortunately, and also I promise there's more parts to this, but this one is a perceived unhappy ending.

Remy didn't know when the fight started, wasn't entirely sure what it was about anymore.

He just knew he wanted the fighting to stop. Wanted Logan to stop being so fucking passive aggressive and not even tell Remy why he was so pissed with him.

"Damn it, Lo! God, you're so fucking lucky I love you," he said, trying to rub the stress from his forehead.

He'd meant to continue, but Logan spoke up before he could.

"Love is just chemicals in the brain, Remy."

And he froze. And Logan looked at him a second too late, regret filling his expression that didn't really matter to Remy right now.

Not with how fucking hurt he felt, hearing his boyfriend invalidate his love.

"And pain is just your nerves responding to outside stimulus, Logan," he snapped, "doesn't mean it doesn't hurt any less. Doesn't mean it's any less real."

Logan backpedaled, not used to Remy using his actual name over pet names and nicknames.

Good. Remy was beyond irritated, far passed pissed, and right into fucking done.

"Remy, I'm sorry I didn't-"

"Oh, you didn't?" Remy interrupted, crossing his arms and glaring at Logan with all his anger and hurt packed into one. Fucking. Look.

Logan paled, and Remy hoped he realized just how badly he fucked up.

Love is just a chemical.

Bullshit.

Love was something Remy treasured. Something he didn't get growing up and held onto with a tight fucking grip when he got it.

It was something he had with Logan, though he guessed his boyfriend didn't agree.

"Sure seems like you did, Ackroyd," he said, feeling sick satisfaction that Remy knew would turn into guilt later at the way Logan flinched at his last name.

He didn't say anything, and Remy scoffed.

"Fine, you didn't mean it. But you also still haven't told me what the fuck I did wrong. And all you've done is throw passive aggressive comments and invalidate my feelings instead of resolving it like a grown ass man."

Remy wanted to throw spoiled rich kid in his face. Wanted to tell Logan that if he thought he'd changed he was wrong.

He wasn't going to though, he was a better man than that.

Logan opened his mouth, to say what, Remy didn't know. And honestly? Right now he didn't really care to, he just wanted to go anywhere that wasn't here.

So he cut him off before he could even start.

"I'm going to V's," he started, walking around the kitchen table and heading towards the door, stopping there to grab his jacket and slip on his shoes.

For a moment, he looked at Logan, helpless and clearly not sure what to do.

"Call me-" briefly he considered telling Logan how to fix this, but quickly decided this was something he needed to figure out himself, "-or don't. Whatever floats your boat. Whether I answer or not is up in the air."

Then he grabbed his keys and he left, barely resisting the urge to slam the door behind him.

They filmed at Rooster’s Sunrise Hotel for 3 days/nights

From TVLine- “It worked not only as a case right now, but also as something that informed the journey Sam and Dean have taken, where they started as kids, how they kind of came together and then how that has [led up] to the point that they are, emotionally, when the episode airs. So it ended up being a really good reflection of our guys now, telling a story about our guys then, which, to me, are always the best versions of those types of flashback stories.”

Guest stars: Jake Abel (Micheal), Mark Pelligrino (Lucifer) 

Other Spoilers/info:

Production shut down as a precaution for coronavirus on 3/13, two days into filming. It is scheduled to start again on Aug 18th. 

Jensen indicated there might be some re-writes for this ep to account for COVID protocols.

When they started filming, they indicated they were on day two. So maybe they could only use some of the scenes they shot? Then they added an extra day all called it day 9. COVID protocols makes things take longer 

AlCal was definitely on set. 

Jake Abel was definitely on set, and he posted an instagram story with his trailer and Lucifer’s (Mark Pelligrino)

Some filming was done at a gas station called Showalter’s (name of the director) with Jared, Jensen, and Alex

Jake “Spoiler King” Abel filmed a video showing chairs for Jared, Jensen, and Alex as well as Rob Benedict (Chuck/God). They were filming near a lake with a mountain view (that looked similar to where Cas died in season 13)

Rob Benedict posted it was his last day in Vancouver, indicating we won't see Chuck past this episode? Or very very briefly in 20? Jake Abel posted a similar message, also baiting fans about Misha’s whereabouts 

Scene “28” took several days and seemed to go across both 19 and 20? So they might have done some combo filming?

Sneak Peak:

Castiel ? maaaaybe? Jack ? maaaaybe?

Guest stars: Jim Beaver

Other Spoilers/info:

Jensen indicated filming would take two weeks, longer than usual (looks like a 9 day shoot, with a day off for Labor Day)

According to Superwiki, 9/3 was the last day on the bunker set, the final days are on location. 

Scene “28” took several days and seemed to go across both 19 and 20? So they might have done some combo filming?

Filming locations seemed to include a barn (pic with a stunt guy showed wooden walls and straw) and a lake (not the mountain lake from 19), and a forest. Filming signs spotted at Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. 

Jim Beaver confirmed his appearance on Twitter

There was a pic of J2 with baby on a bridge. Baby had her original plates. They seem to be wearing the same clothes they were in the pilot. There may be grey (??) In their hair, but that could be lighting

Misha posted some creation videos, saying he had been on an impromptu camping trip. He was back in his house. They were posted on the last day of filming and he had pretty decent scruff. He also mentioned that it was the last day of filming and he wasn't up there. 

The show officially wrapped at 6:25 on 9/10

Jared said “the last time Sam and Dean see each other is the last time Jared and Jensen film together” but seem to imply that was not the final scene? It was a confusing answer to a question about filming the final scene. 

IMDB credits a vampire?

 General Info (oldest to newest). This is a blend of pre-COVID and post COVID, so some might change. 

Misha will be in 15 out of 20 episodes this season (he’s missed 4 so far. Unclear about 16, 19, and 20). 

JaxCon/Vegas Con spoilers: 

Misha said the ending was “happier than he expected” but also had some sadness. He later used “sad and redemptive”

Dean says the line “stop killing my people” (to god?)

Jensen said he doesn’t see how the story could continue past this season, but Jared said its more of “a see you later” (in more recent interviews, Dabb seems to shut that down completely)

Al Cal posted a pic of a “thrown away” call sheet that seems to indicate Micheal, Lucifer, and a character named “Betty” interacting in the bunker. Unclear as to the validity, could be from 19 based on casting 

Charlie (original flavor) will return

Filming resumed on Aug 18th. Per Canadian policy, they must quarantine for two weeks. Those quarantining seemed to include:

Fairly Clear: Jared, Jensen, Jake Abel (Micheal), Rob Benedict (Chuck/God) Mark Pelligrino (Lucifer), Al Cal (didn't need to quarantine, but he is definitely on set), Jim Beaver (Bobby)

Unclear/Rumored: Misha (he is being deliberately cagey), Osric Chau (Kevin- but likely for another project, he was a week ahead of everyone else)

Reasons Unlikely: Sam Smith (chemo treatment), Kim Rhodes (working at a camp during quarantine), Ruth Connell (posted from Malibu the entire time)

No idea: Shoshannah Stern 

Jensen said sp 19 is more of a season finale, while 20 is a series finale. Repeated in interviews/livestreams. 

Jensen indicated that the ending did change per COVID protocols. Later interviews confirmed this, but it seemed to indicate the changes were in regards to how many people filmed at once (crowd scenes, recurring characters returning)

Misha is being very, very cagey about where he was. Some live streams seem to indicate he is not at home, but he has yet to confirm- his presence in 19/20 is hard to track. In an interview with Metaverse, he was in bed in a hotel looking space and you could see mountains in the background. He was not on set for the first week of filming, so he could be a week behind. 

Misha has thrown around the words “final”  and “what he <Misha> would have wanted” per Cas’ ending. “Sad/Proud” and “poignant” were also used. His latest line is “sad but satisfying”

The finale will air Nov 19th in conjunction with an hour long special. 

Dabb confirmed to TV line the episode 19/20 explanation Jensen’s mentioned- For the most part, we wrap up a big chunk of our mythology in Episode 19,Episode 20 is more character-based and is more concerned with Sam, Dean and this family they’ve built around them than it is with figuring out the Case of the Week.

When talking about the lightheartedness of returning on ep 14, Dabb said deeply depressing and upsetting episodes are coming (USAToday). He also said we would see “new sides” of Jack, Cas, and Billie. A revisit of Chuck and Amara’s “sibling issues” as well is on tap. Jared said sacrifices are coming. 

From TV Line-  re the battle with Chuck. Allies will return, but was repeated several times in the article that is comes down to Sam and Dean. Jack will struggle with getting his soul back but will be helped by Cas. 

It was confirmed there will be no appearances by mamma and papa Winchester, possible due to COVID. (TVLine). 

According to ET there will be lots of “Easter Eggs” in the finale from early episodes. TV Line furthered that by Jared confirming Sam and Dean “in the way they began”

One singular interview asked about Cas and Jack (SyFy) and we got this “Cas has had a very long evolution on this show, but an evolution to an emotionally healthy place, which is generally speaking not something we do a ton. It means someone is at least emotionally healthy on this show.” Jack will be dealing with having a soul and the mistakes he made, particularly Mary.
