hiii friend, could i send "coffee splatters on paper" and/or" the smell of fresh coffee" and/or "empty coffee cup" (basically, any of the coffee ones) 😅 for fred and jo, please? <3 — @shoshiwrites

Shoshi, thank you so much for trusting me again with Jo. She is, as always, a joy and a delight. For those of you who don't know her, Jo Brandt is Shoshi's War Correspondent OC who has made several appearances in the TDS multiverse and appears here by kind permission from her author.

It was easier writing at the Aero Club.

There was always the extra work of bringing her typewriter with her from her room, but the portable was built for outings like this, and, too, there was something…comforting, about writing her column from the middle of things, or at least, as close to the middle of things as Jo was able to get at Thorpe Abbotts without being a security risk. Everyone came to the Red Cross club at some time or another, and the constant stream of chatter in the background made a nice change of pace from the birdsong and quiet tree rustles of the back garden.

And there was the bottomless coffee, of course. And the cat.

"Well hi there, mister, how are you?" Jo asked, as Spark Plug came up to rub against her chair and buff his head against her leg a couple of times. The black and white cat purred for a moment and then took the opportunity to jump up onto the table, narrowly missing Jo's empty coffee cup, and scratched himself against the side of the portable's carriage return a few times. "You're lucky you're cute," Jo said quietly, waiting for the animal to move out of the way before she started typing again. "Usually I charge for spelling errors."

"Excuse me, Miss, is this cat bothering you?"

Jo didn't need to look up at Fred to see that the woman was smiling at her own joke, coffee pot at the ready as she did her rounds of the room. "Yeah, as a matter of fact," she said, sitting back in her chair and holding tightly on to her empty cup before Fred could try filling it. "He was just yowling at me about when I'm going to do that piece about his owner."

The Clubmobile woman deflated a little. "Jo, I'm not -"

"But you are," Jo said, cutting into Fred's excuses about 'not being very newsworthy,' still guarding her cup so Fred wouldn't fill it and run. "You're the one everyone wants to read about! When all those mothers read about their sons they're sitting at home hoping someone's taking care of them -- and that's you."

Fred's smile could best be described as 'flat'. "Interview Mary - or Tatty! They've got much better stories than mine."

"Freda Torvaldsen, from Madison, Wisconsin, is very used to managing rambunctious attitudes," Jo said in a fake newsman's staccato. "Twenty-six years old, she put her career as a kindergarten teacher on hold to go overseas and entertain America's flyboys. From slinging doughnuts to singing tunes, there's nothing Fred, as she's known around base, can't do - and that includes rehabilitating stray animals." She paused for effect.

"You're making me sound like Snow White."

"I'll bet if I asked nicely I could find you seven guys to be dwarves," Jo shot back without missing a beat.

She was serious, and Fred knew it. "Please don't."

"And anyway, she's a brunette," Jo added, for effect. "Thirty minutes. And a picture. With the cat."

"No one wants -"

"Everyone will want a picture with the cat," Jo cut in strongly. "Especially after I tell them where he came from."

Fred got into enough arguments on a daily basis that she could tell when she had lost one, and she sighed (somewhat dramatically) and sat down just as the door opened and a fresh group of flyers rolled in. Most of them gravitated towards the counter and Mary Boyle, but one of them broke away to stand behind Fred's chair as if to look over her shoulder at Jo's typewriter.

"What's this? Fred Torvaldsen is sitting down? On a Tuesday?"

"I'm being interviewed," Fred said, looking up at the pilot with a fondness in her eyes that was hard to hide. Jo bit back a smile and allowed the pair their moment - Clubmobile girls weren't supposed to have favorites, but John Brady was one of Fred's. (If he had his way, he'd be more than a favorite, if Jo was any judge, but she supposed there would be time for that later. Hopefully.)

"Is our trusted correspondent going to write about how we'd all fall apart if you weren't here?" Brady asked, with absolute seriousness.

"I am, Captain Brady, thank you so much for suggesting that," Jo said strongly, before Fred could get a word in edgewise, grinning at him.

"You both are being very mean," Fred said with another one of her exasperated smiles.

"We are," Brady confirmed with a sly smile that did nothing to hide his delight. His hands never left the back of her chair, but there was something in his eyes, too, that was doing a lot of very heavy lifting for his favorite who wasn't supposed to be a favorite.

"There a party here I don't know about?" John Egan's voice came booming from behind Jo. When had he come in?

"I'm being interviewed," Fred cut in, before anyone could say anything else. "Jo's going to add me to her Rogue's Gallery for the Clarion."

"Excellent. Best news we've had all day. You'll make us all look good, Fred. Are you putting in a good word for her, Spark Plug? Are you?" The cat, which had formerly been relaxing next to the typewriter, had stood up as Egan approached, yowling softly for attention and closing his eyes to lean into Egan's large, warm hand and its energetic scritches, the cat's expression perhaps best described as 'pleased'.

Jo looked away to see Fred was watching her with an odd look in her eye and a secretive smile. "What?"

"Oh, nothing," Fred said mildly, sitting back in her chair. "Are we starting this interview now, or what?"

Mission Impossible: a Crazed Ramble by tentacledwizard

Re my mission impossible ask: gonna share my thoughts bc I just finished watching the series (sans 2 and 3) and boy do I have Thoughts. I think I’ll cover the ones I’m most interested in (Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and Fallout) though I might ramble at u about 1 and 7 later lmao. So okay here we go

Ghost Protocol. I REALLY liked this one. This is 2nd on my ranking of MI movies.

This movie has the best team vibes. Might be my favorite iteration of The Team, even if Luther isn’t really there. I just got really emotionally attached to these guys and their interactions lmao..

I liked Brandt. Jeremy Renner didn’t have to do some heavy-duty acting for this role, and he didn’t. His role was to be small and cute and tormented, and it worked. So well that I mumbled “where is my wife” when I watched Fallout, and my brother looked at me strangely.

Jane Carter holy moly. Dude you were NOT kidding about Jane Carter. I love her so much. I love how she’s not even slightly the love interest, how her and Ethan’s interactions have this respect and camaraderie, and even when they kiss it’s not romantic. It’s great. Loved how she got the dudely “gotta avenge my dead wife” backstory with her boyfriend getting killed, and how that propels her most ruthless actions. I guess I’m pretty much agreeing with everything you’ve said about Jane lmao. SHE’S GREAT. Also loved it when she fought Léa Seydoux, it was pretty cathartic. Let female characters be driven and reckless and (eyes Rose Lalonde pfp) yeah

Benji Dunn the man that you are. Okay I’d say that Benji is at his best in the next movie, but this is a damn good introduction. He’s newly promoted, a little bit out of his depth, and I’m a sucker for funny nerdy sidekicks okay. Gonna talk about him some more when I get to Rogue Nation probably.

Ethan Hunt has the best haircut in this film. Idk man that’s my Ethan Hunt commentary. Oh wait it was also funny when he wore the mustache

I GOT ALL FLUSTERED WHEN LÉA SEYDOUX WAS ON SCREEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS. HOW PECULIAR

Didn’t watch 2 and 3, so the brief glimpse of Julia was very intriguing and bittersweet. Then of course in Fallout she Julias all over the place!

OKAY NOW I CAN TALK ABOUT THE BURJ KHALIFA

I’ve actually seen the Burj Khalifa irl and it is SO TALL (I know, very surprising) so I cannot wrap my head around the fact that this scene was shot on location (??) I need to look into that more.

I am a dork and I do not know much about how stunts and action scenes are calibrated, hence the sheer delight I derived from the way the camera moves in the Burj Khalifa scenes. Also my hands got really sweaty during the first half. (The “blue is glue, red is dead” part reminded me of “hasta lasagna don’t get any on ya” IDK MAN)

I spent the wall-climbing section gazing at the TV rapturously and occasionally mumbling “uh oh,” “Ethan Hunt: Human Gecko” or “the climberrrr” alternately. I literally was not hearing myself because I was watching so intently. My breath was BATED lmao.

And like I’d seen the gif sets, I knew he was gonna jump but I didn’t know when. So when Ethan does jump, it’s so sudden that you can’t help but go :O !! And it works. Anddd that’s my favorite stunt in the film (i am an easily impressed nerd with no technical knowledge but i AM dying on this hill. The Burj jump would impress ANYONE and for good reason)

I am replaying this scene in my head over and over. It’s just. It’s so good. My reaction to it reminded me of when I watched [S] Descend and it just Worked and I was amazed. To say nothing of Cascade lmao. Actually yeah this kind of is Cascade in a sense

I'm sure none of this commentary is really original, but I really love it when Tom Cruise does a big jump heh. I am a simple man

So yeah this film is easily my 2nd favorite. It’s character-driven, there’s comedy elements, the way the team interacts and collides and argues with each other is wonderful. And I believe in Jane Carter supremacy.

Oh yeah, Bogdan was funny too. So many good + funny moments here :D

Wait how could I forget the best character (the Russian man who has an enemies-to-friends arc with Ethan)? Love that guy.

OKAY this is too long so Im gonna separate this into 2 parts.

they sent three asks and then I responded, we're gonna use a cut here, LONG POST!!!!!

@tentacledwizard PART 2.

Rogue Nation. This one’s my favorite! I like how it begins not with Ethan but with the Team, because their interactions are good. And of course Ethan’s trying to jump on a plane. Just another Saturday.

I am not very good at talking about plot so let’s talk about Benji Dunn

ok wait first I gotta say that I like how they played with the usual IMF message. The “we ARE the syndicate” got me. Really good moment, and I bet if I rewatched it I’d catch all the little details that made me suspicious of whoever was talking.

Anyway Benji Dunn.. the man that you are…

Like I said, Benji is at his best in this movie. There’s so many little moments that cement his greatness. He’s gaming on company time! He lies about not being Ethan’s friend on a daily basis :( also the sincere dorky smile he does on his way to the opera is so wonderful.

I really like how sincere Benji is. He’s genuinely looking forward to the opera, and he’s eager to wear a mask someday, and he cares about Ethan so much. Yeah he’s a funny little British man but he’s also v sweet and you can see why Ethan goes crazy and kidnaps the prime minister to get him back.

speaking of, I really think that Benji and Ethan’s relationship is… if not the core of the movie, it’s definitely a major part of that core. Does that make sense? Like, I tried to take a picture of the screen every time Ethan and Benji glanced at each other knowingly, and I ended up with a lot of pictures. Even with the 6-month separation (Ethan with a beard is something I never thought I’d see), they know each other. Ethan knows Benji wants to see the opera, and Benji will yell at Ethan when Ethan needs to be yelled at. Ethan compliments Benji’s tuxedo (as he should).

Also ffffuck whenever these guys worry about each other… like when Benji tells Ethan he’s probably going to take it too far one of these days.. Man. The scene where Ethan washes out of the giant torus with Ilsa and Benji goes to talk to him is so good.

oh and yeah Ethan did kidnap the prime minister. For benji. HE DID THAT!!!

Also the scene where Benji is forced to speak for Solomon was honestly incredible, it was like Ethan and Benji were having their own separate conversation with eye contact. When Ethan briefly put his hand on Benji’s shoulder, maybe to reassure him without having to talk, and Benji glances up at him… that’s good stuff right there. When Benji was finally able to talk it was cathartic. God I love these two

Plus the opera fight scene is so fun oh my god.

ok let’s talk about my queen Ilsa Faust

Ilsa Faust is great, and I really like how this series does female characters. Because she has her own shit going on, there’s a bit of romance between her and Ethan but they’re both agents with missions, and she’s never sexualized. I love that. Her signature move is filmed the way a male character would be filmed if he were fighting. That’s awesome.

I really loved Rebecca Ferguson’s performance here, the conflict between saving others and saving herself was neat. It’s also interesting how she has way less reservations about killing people, which plays off Ethan’s… everything. And she never makes it easy for Ethan, which I’d honestly do too if I was involved in the shit she has to deal with.

But of course there are moments that show she does care about him (asking him to run away, the scene where she saves him in the underwater whirly spinner). The hug was pretty sweet.

Also, Ilsa is when I started really paying attention to the outfits in MI, because all of her looks were great. The yellow dress is iconic, and I REALLY liked the pleated coat she wears when talking to Solomon Lane. Plus the suit she wears in Fallout is Good.

Solomon Lane is a good villain. Jim is the MI villain I think of when I think of MI villains, but Solomon is very distinctive. I mean that voice, man. The VOICE. Lmao. He kind of reminded me of a parasitic worm made human, which is a 100% good thing.

So who has the more distinctive and weird voice? Solomon or Claire? That is the question. (I think it’s Claire tbh. Four am, four in the morning, four o clock)

So this is my favorite MI film. It’s fun, it has a good villain. We see Ethan’s personality start to shine through, too- he’s emotionally driven, as evidenced by when he fucking DOES ALL THAT TO SAVE BENJI GOD I LOVE THESE TWO. So yeah, this is the Ethan and Benji movie to me. It’s also a stellar debut for Ilsa Faust… wait what do you mean she gets fridged in the 7th movie. What do you mean

OH Jeremy Renner is still here! And more Luther! Hell yeah.

really want to rewatch this one so I can take more notes on the stunts and stuff, too

Ok time to make a part 3 because this is ridiculously long

PART 3

Fallout. Oh man. This one messed me up.

So from the start, Fallout is a darker, queasier watch than the previous two. The more I watched, the more I realized that this movie Is Ethan Hunt’s Nightmare.

Like there’s the straightforward nightmare at the beginning, and then the film just Doesn’t Stop. It keeps messing with our minds again and again.

This is the Ethan Hunt movie. This is our deep dive into Ethan Hunt’s mind, and at some points it kind of feels like a test of how well we know him- because he wouldn’t kill all those people, so this must be another nightmare, right?

I am used to vivid nightmares, and this film perfectly captures the sheer horror of having one. And I was constantly doubting my own perception, bouncing between bad dream and reality along with Ethan. Man.

Like Mission Impossible has always kind of had that element, what with the masks and everything, but this film dials it up to eleven. I recognized the horror of Ethan’s situation here, and it was a feeling that stayed with me the entire time.

I mean at some points, it gets surreal. The line about Ethan literally being his own worst enemy (it’s true!), his wife showing up in little glimpses until she finally appears, Lane pinpointing Ethan’s fears, etc. When Ethan looks around at the church and says he’s terribly sorry, it’s such a small moment but it’s still kind of a gut punch. Ethan Hunt is trapped in his brain and so are we.

Even the title sequence shows everything burning around Ethan. The full theme song sounds like it’s going to end, but then it keeps going. This movie feels way more apocalyptic than any of the others.

Even Max is dead. I mean come on.

And we see how this screws up Ethan’s judgment, how his priorities are a little fucked in the grand scheme of things. He puts a few people over millions, for better or for worse.

Ethan Hunt running is an iconic part of the franchise, but what happens when all the messed-up stuff he went through catches up with him? What about the fallout?

So when the ending rolls around, it feels like Ethan is waking up, and that lends it a certain catharsis. But the uneasiness of most of the movie still stuck with me for a long time afterward.

Okay let’s talk about the new characters.

Alanna was neat, and I liked her outfits too. Though every time she flirted with Ethan, I had this vivid mental image of Ethan driving up and yelling “I fucked your mom, shit lips!” Probably something he’d say to Zola instead though.

Walker was such an asshole and that was kind of great actually. Not a single redeeming quality to be found. Have fun falling off that cliff, johnny boy.

Oh yeah and he got to say the only “fuck” in the entire series I believe. (It should have been Ethan. Well I can always hope.)

That conversation Ethan and Benji have about how Ethan won’t let anything happen to him, but then later Ethan does something that seems to put Benji in danger (making him be Solomon Lane)? Chef’s kiss. Also Benji FINALLY got to wear the mask, and he’s damn good at it.

More of Ilsa and Ethan’s relationship and man is it complicated haha. I like the scene where they’re walking through a symmetrical landscape, just paralleling each other, until finally they’re face to face. That’s good stuff right there. Also the scene where he’s in the hospital bed was sweet.

My wife [Brandt] is not here but luckily we get a lot of Luther. Luther is the constant in this series- he’s stuck with Ethan from the beginning, for better or for worse. (Better, because he’s a good character). So Luther really cares about Ethan, evidenced by his conversation with Ilsa. He probably knows Ethan better than anyone, except maybe Julia but then again she and Ethan have been apart for a while.

Julia was great. The scenes with her and Ethan were v bittersweet. They still care about each other (just look at Ethan’s constant guilt over not protecting her), but she’s living her own life now. The conversation they had near the end was the culmination of all this, the moment we were waiting for. Plus I enjoyed her friendship with Luther, like I enjoyed Ilsa and Benji’s friendship. The scene where they’re cutting the wires/talking about Ethan was cute.

as for the stunts, hmm… I didn't really get the level of physicality I got from, say, MI1 or Ghost Protocol. Idk man maybe I’m just biased against helicopters?

ALSO I really like Face/Off and Hit Man so the John Lark thing was p cool to me. Ofc John was the asshole CIA agent though.

Anyway good movie, might take some time before I can rewatch it but it’s a masterful delve into Ethan Hunt’s mind. Not my favorite but also really really good and I wrote the most about it.

Conclusion. Wow that’s a lot of thoughts. Probably too many to put in one ask. Uh I kind of also want to talk about MI1 and Dead Reckoning as an echo of MI1 but this was a lot so idk if you’d want me to do that lmao. Anyway I have to thank you for convincing me to watch Mission Impossible all those months ago, because it is one of my obsessions now. (If you read all this I am sorry lmao, hope it wasn’t boring tho)

And now I can finally read your Benthan fic! 8D hell yeah.

okay now it is my turn to reply

I frankly adore Brandt. I've joked to Brandt that I don't really ship Benthan, I just use it as a vehicle to write William Brandt and have him tell jokes. I adore his angry little bureaucratic ass. I am actually a fan of Renner when the material gives him actual shit he can do. Like, he was fucking WASTED in the MCU and the "Hawkeye" miniseries proves he could have been having fun this entire fucking time but they never GAVE him anything. And even if his role in MI is simple, McQuarrie is so damn good at writing characters that Brandt feels vibrant. In GP he goes from sad sweater boy to lowkey the weakest link of the team but everyone is there to help him. And in RN there's a THOUSAND lil moments I love with him. I always point to Benji's interrogation scene, there's a VERY VERY PRECISE bit of editing where Benji is going off on a tirade about how the CIA sucks, and the camera lingers on Brandt LITERALLY JUST LONG ENOUGH for Renner's mouth to make this tiny microexpression, like TWO FRAMES of Brandt indulging in admiring Benji's lie-craft.

Also the argument in the bigass car with Luther was Renner improvising according to McQ. Love it. Brandt's my angry little pencil-pushing angel. Any time he shows up in the PT AU, I'm 😍😍😍

GP lives and dies on the team dynamic tbh, which I find hilarious bc imo MI3 was pronounced dead on arrival bc the team dynamic is non-existent and like, why am I even here???? the chemistry is truly batshit.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ALL THE TRULY MIND-BOGGLING FACTS BEHIND THE BURJ CLIMB AND HOW TERRIFYINGLY PRACTICAL IT WAS check out this post

Also Ethan's gorgeous LEAP at the end of the sequence is my second-fave Physicality Moment in that movie. The first is of course Ethan's silent vault over the railing after he leaves his prison cell. I'm a slut.

and I bet if I rewatched it I’d catch all the little details that made me suspicious of whoever was talking.

oh you want a fun one? in the record shop, there are two listening booths. ethan goes into the one on the left.

Solomon Lane is sitting in the one on the right.

re: Benji in Rogue Nation, I mean McQuarrie himself has said Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn is the beating heart and soul of the Mission franchise. so don't worry, we ALL stan.

ILSA FUCKING FAUST. /fans face. Yeah, the way MI handles women is like… I don't know how to go back to, like, James Bond films. I keep remembering Skyfall (which I remember as a good movie) and how one of the ~bond girls~ is casually executed and the whole point is how unfazed everyone is, how DISPOSABLE she is, how James Bond as a franchise wants backpats for pointing out "man it sure sucks how disposable women are in these spy flicks huh"

smash cut to Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout, and ESPECIALLY Dead Reckoning.

I keep saying this but MI manages to pull off the Metal Gear thing in that the Male Gaze of the camera is thoroughly bisexual. Long before we see Ilsa's amazing leg shot at the opera, we get a long lingering shot of Ethan's tiddies, and the way he's held captive is very female-coded, the position, the way he tries to wile his way out of it, the barefoot thing, all of it. There's such intense intentionality with how MI frames bodies.

Hell, I've been flicking between MI and the X-Men AU movies and comparing Ilsa to Mystique is super interesting because both of them fight with their legs-first. But the choreography of Mystique always has this "heh heh heh naked legg" feeling, while with Ilsa, her fighting style is so consistent, it feels like a natural result of her build and how she utilizes momentum. I remember there's a fast moment in Fallout where she very casually assists Ethan by taking out a guard as he extracts Alanna, and she does her leg flip thing. It feels Correct for her, rather than the MCU "make sure you fight pretty" bullshit.

Anyway I love Ilsa but Benji is actually the Love Interest in RN and we all know it.

"wait what do you mean she gets fridged in the 7th movie" SHE DOES NOT GET FRIDGED i am gonna die on this fucking hill, that Ilsa's death was good and actually meant something

Anyway I cosign all your thoughts on Fallout. I think it's the best movie and frankly I think it's a cinematic masterpiece. The claustrophobia of it, the nightmare of being Ethan Hunt, the repeated use of dreamlike imagery to convey that we're falling further into that nightmare with him, AND THE ENDING. I find the ending so bittersweet because yes, Ethan and the team pull it off, they push at the edges of possibility and reason until the universe yields and gives them the win

but then Julia says "I know you'll always be there" and its like watching a door slam in Ethan's face. He's always going to be in this dream/nightmare, a world that exists one layer removed from reality, and he can't get out. It's amazing. I want to kiss McQ on the mouth.

That Ilsa-Ethan scene was not in the original script and TC suggested it day-of and they just did it and its one of the most beautiful shots of the movie, with the green trees melding with the slight green tones of Ilsa's outfit and with Ethan's eyes. The fact they have an entire conversation between Ethan and Ilsa's eyebrows. I love them.

I created this blog over a year ago, but I never used it, but i decided that I'Il change that now, or at least that's my plan.

Some infos about me. You can call me Lizzi or Liz. I'm from Germany, which is sometimes really annoying. (My interests and obsession suffer as a result.. Finding K-pop albums here is a struggle, especially if you want something specific. And I'm not even starting with english movies in theaters)

I love to do creative things like DIYs and digital drawings. I also write Fanfictions (since 2020), but right now, only for myself. I plan to publish them soon [maybe]

Now about Fandoms, Ships, and all that stuff

Kpop

i'm in there since 2021, and I'll probably never get out :3. Generally, I'm a multistan, and I listen to very many groups and soloists, but I still have my Ults and favs.

Ult Groups:

BTS - Army since September 2021 (they brought me into kpop) and i will probably be posting about them regularly, haha

bias: Suga and Jhope

shippings: Sope <3, Namjin, Vminkook

Dreamncatcher - Insomnia since beginning 2022

bias: Jiu and Dami

right now, I don't ship them, but maybe that will change

IU - Uaena since middle of 2023, but I started listening and loving her songs in 2022 (l also saw her live ♡ and she is so amazing)

Other Favs:

Gidle [Bias: Yuqi], Stray Kids [Bias: Chanbin]. Mamamoo [Bias: Solar, Moonbyul], Twice [Bias: Jihyo], Itzy [Bias: Lia]

~*~

Marvel

I watched my first MCU movie (Ironman 1) in 2021, and since then, it's an on and off relationship with this fanom. Usually, I will come back every other month or when a good movie/series comes out :D

Avengers

favs: Clint, Bucky, Nat, Yelena

shippings: Winterhawk <3

Xmen

favs: Logan, Wade, Yukio (she is so cute), Laura

shippings: Poolverine <3

Gods/Others

favs: Loki, Lady Sif, Valkyrie

shippings: Valkyrie/Sif

~*~

Football [I'm German leave me alone l i will call it Football because it's Fußball here] liked football my whole life and when I saw a Bravertz edit it was the push I needed and now I am here haha

Fav Players: Julian Brandt, Marco Reus, Robert Lewandowski (maybe some others too, but they are more an on-off thing)

Fav Teams: BVB, FC Barcelona [honestly, I'm more a player person like the teams where the payers that I like play]

Shippings: Julian Brandt x nearly everyone (like for real I ship him with many ppl but i only write fics about Julian x Marco; Julian Robert; Julian x Marco x Robert [don't ask me why.. it just happened])

~*~

This blog will probably be really chaotic, but generally, I'll post about anything related to the fandoms just listed... and maybe other stuff I get obsessed with :)

Julian Brandt. Snuggling in front of the fireplace <3

that‘s so incredibly cute. i love that.

flames danced in orange and red, humming a quiet melody which spread comfort through the living room. tonight, the couch was unnecessary. julian had a better idea an hour ago, and carried the multiple blankets from the king-sized bed downstairs. spreading them out in front of the fire place, you quickly found yourself in the warmth of his muscular arms.

cheek pressed tightly against the material of his sweatshirt, your soft fingertips danced across the left side of his waist. „it’s much better than watching tv.“ you muttered. it was rare that julian had an entire evening off. mostly, the coach and his assistants pushed in as many training sessions as possible, without risking another injured player for the team. while the top of the chart became the most important goal, the midfielder desired to spend any free minute with you.

„gotta cherish each moment together.“ julian answered, dipping his head down to blow a featherlight kiss on your hair. his long fingers brushed over your watermelon-pink tinted cheek, drawing small circles between the irregular movements. it was his dedication, to showing you in each moment, how much he admired you that kept the relationship steady. even with the right timetable, and the constant travels through germany.

it didn’t take long, barely half an hour, when the light snoring caused the corners of his mouth to curl upwards. the bed might have been more comfortable, but the nights in front of the fireplace, snuggled up tightly, were too rare. closing his lids, julian pulled you carefully closer to his body, and slowly drifted off into a calm sleep within minutes.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Chapter one: "A day in the life"

In the late 1960s, when the Beatles unveiled their album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," there was a peculiar sensation, particularly concerning the album cover and Paul's appearance.

His appearance seemed unusual, and it wasn't just the addition of a mustache. There was something about the shape of his head and the absence of distinctive facial features, almost as if he had undergone plastic surgery to remove them, including his beauty mark.

The album cover spurred Eleanor into action, prompting her to delve into the mystery surrounding Paul McCartney's transformation and the identity of his apparent replacement.

Woke up

Got out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Eleanor slowly opened her eyes, rubbing away sleep she stretched her arms overhead, feeling the stiffness of sleep gradually dissipate. With a yawn, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and sat up, taking a moment to let her senses adjust to the new day. She glanced at the clock on her nightstand, noting the time with a faint furrow of her brow.

First, she reached for her glasses, slipping them on and instantly sharpening her vision. Next, she padded across the room to draw open the curtains, allowing the soft morning light to filter in and illuminate her space.

With deliberate movements, Eleanor made her way to the bathroom, flicking on the light and splashing cool water on her face to invigorate her senses. She brushed her teeth meticulously, the rhythmic swish of the toothbrush against her teeth a familiar comfort.

After completing her morning ablutions, Eleanor turned her attention to her wardrobe. With a critical eye, she selected an outfit that balanced comfort and professionalism, opting for a blouse and trousers that conveyed confidence without sacrificing practicality.

Made my way down stairs

With her attire chosen, Eleanor moved to the kitchen, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted her. She poured herself a steaming cup, relishing the warmth as it spread through her body, chasing away any lingering traces of drowsiness.

And drank a cup

As she sipped her coffee, Eleanor glanced at her to-do list for the day, mentally preparing herself for the tasks ahead. With a sense of determination, she took a deep breath, ready to tackle whatever challenges awaited her.

""Okay, think, Eleanor," she mused aloud, her brow furrowing in contemplation. "Why would the Beatles replace Paul McCartney like this? He was the pretty boy of the band... so it wouldn't be wise to get rid of something like that." She paused, her mind whirring with possibilities.

Perhaps there were artistic reasons behind the change, a desire for reinvention or experimentation. Or maybe there were personal reasons at play, tensions within the band that led to McCartney's departure or transformation. Eleanor considered these possibilities, weighing each one carefully as she tried to unravel the mystery before her.

Eleanor's thoughts gravitated towards a darker possibility: Paul McCartney's death. The notion that he might have been murdered sent a shiver down her spine. She considered the idea that the band might have replaced him to conceal this grim truth from their fans, preserving their image and legacy. The more she dwelled on it, the more chillingly plausible it seemed. Determined to uncover the truth, Eleanor resolved to dig deeper into the mystery, prepared to face whatever unsettling revelations lay ahead.

With a pen in hand, Eleanor meticulously jotted down her thoughts on who might have been responsible for Paul McCartney's alleged murder and why. As she deliberated, she gradually crossed off names from her list of suspects.

John Lennon, she reasoned, seemed unlikely given his close bond with McCartney and their shared creative synergy as the driving force behind the band. Similarly, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were ruled out for their enduring camaraderie with McCartney.

Turning her attention to George Martin, the Beatles' producer, and Paul's partner at the time, Jane Asher, Eleanor considered their potential motives. She speculated that George might have stood to gain financially from McCartney's demise, while Jane could have been driven by a desire for fame or personal gain.

With each name crossed off her list, Eleanor felt a growing sense of unease. The truth remained elusive, lurking just beyond her grasp as she delved deeper into the labyrinthine mystery surrounding Paul McCartney's fate.

Frustration boiled within Eleanor as she grappled with the perplexing puzzle before her. "If all of these people seem innocent... what the hell happened to McCartney?" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with anger and desperation. Determined to find answers, she rose from her seat and approached the record cover once more.

But instead of scrutinizing it for clues, Eleanor opted for a different approach. With trembling hands, she carefully removed the vinyl from its sleeve and placed it on the turntable. As the needle made contact with the grooves, the haunting strains of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" filled the room.

Closing her eyes, Eleanor allowed herself to be swept away by the music, hoping that amidst the melodies lay the key to unlocking the mystery that had consumed her thoughts. With each note that resonated through the air, she listened intently, searching for any hidden messages or revelations that might shed light on the truth behind Paul McCartney's enigmatic disappearance.

Eleanor's eyes snapped open as she heard the name "Billy Shears" mentioned in the lyrics. Recognizing it as a potential lead, she swiftly grabbed a pen and paper, jotting down the name as a possible suspect in McCartney's alleged murder.

With newfound determination, Eleanor resolved to investigate further, determined to unravel the mystery surrounding Billy Shears and his potential involvement in the grim events that had cast a shadow over the Beatles and their iconic album.

Eleanor pondered the myriad possibilities surrounding the enigmatic figure of Billy Shears. "Billy Shears could be anyone," she murmured to herself, considering the various roles he might have played in McCartney's life and the events leading up to his alleged murder.

He could have been a trusted confidant, a close friend privy to McCartney's innermost secrets. Alternatively, Billy Shears might have been a journalist, exploiting his access to the Beatles for personal gain. Or perhaps he was a crazed fan, obsessed with McCartney to the point of assuming his identity.

As Eleanor mulled over these scenarios, she realized that uncovering the true identity and motivations of Billy Shears would be key to unraveling the mystery that had consumed her thoughts. With determination burning in her heart, she vowed to leave no stone unturned in her quest for answers.

Eleanor's mind raced with the realization that she needed to speak directly to McCartney himself. If anyone held the key to unlocking the truth, it was him. With determination coursing through her veins, she resolved to reach out to him, hoping to glean some insight or confirmation that would bolster her claims.

But how would she approach him? Eleanor knew that contacting a legend like McCartney wouldn't be easy, but she was undeterred. Armed with her convictions and a burning desire for justice, she began to formulate a plan to get in touch with him, determined to uncover the secrets that lay buried beneath the surface.

Eleanor knew that presentation mattered, especially when seeking to gain someone's trust and cooperation. With this in mind, she decided to change into a cuter, more appealing outfit before attempting to contact McCartney.

She perused her wardrobe thoughtfully, selecting pieces that exuded charm and confidence. After much deliberation, she settled on a knee-length floral dress, cinched at the waist with a belt to accentuate her figure. Paired with a delicate necklace and a pair of ballet flats, the ensemble struck the perfect balance between casual elegance and approachability.

With her outfit chosen, Eleanor moved to her vanity, taking care with her hair and makeup. She opted for soft curls cascading over her shoulders and a touch of rosy blush to accentuate her cheeks. A swipe of lip gloss completed the look, adding a subtle hint of allure to her smile.

Satisfied with her transformation, Eleanor took a deep breath and picked up her phone, ready to reach out to McCartney. As she dialed his number, she couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mingled with nerves. But she pushed aside her doubts, knowing that she was prepared to do whatever it took to uncover the truth.

With determination coursing through her veins, Eleanor set out for the Cavern Club, knowing it was a place where Paul McCartney had strong ties. As she made her way through the bustling streets, her heart raced with anticipation, her mind buzzing with the possibility of finally coming face to face with the legendary musician.

Arriving at the club, Eleanor scanned the crowd, searching for any sign of McCartney's familiar figure. But as the minutes ticked by without success, she felt a sense of disappointment creeping in. Undeterred, she resolved to pursue her quest further, knowing that she couldn't afford to let this setback deter her.

With a determined stride, Eleanor made her way to McCartney's house, her resolve unwavering. She knocked on the door, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for a response. As the door swung open, revealing McCartney standing before her, Eleanor felt a surge of adrenaline course through her veins. This was her chance to finally uncover the truth, and she wasn't about to let it slip away.

Summoning all her courage, Eleanor managed to speak, though her voice trembled with nerves. "Hello, Mr. McCartney," she greeted him, her words barely audible over the pounding of her heart.

Paul regarded her with a calm demeanor, his voice as smooth as velvet as he replied, "'Ello love. Is there any reason why you've decided to not just call me but show up to my house in the middle of the afternoon like a psycho?"

Despite the charm exuded by McCartney, Eleanor knew she couldn't allow herself to be swayed by his charisma. She had a mission, and she needed answers. Swallowing her nerves, she met his gaze squarely, steeling herself for the task at hand.

"I apologize for the intrusion, Mr. McCartney," she began, her voice steadier now. "But I have some questions I'd like to ask you, if you don't mind. It's about... well, it's about something rather serious."

Eleanor couldn't help but notice Paul's discomfort, but she remained resolute in her determination to get to the bottom of the mystery. Ignoring his signals, she pressed on with her inquiry, her voice firm.

"Okay, Mr. McCartney," she began, meeting his gaze unwaveringly. "What's with the new look?"

Paul shifted uncomfortably under her scrutiny, his expression guarded. "I just felt like doing something new," he replied, his tone casual but lacking the usual warmth Eleanor had expected.

She sensed there was more to his answer than met the eye, but she knew she couldn't push too hard. For now, she would have to bide her time and continue her investigation through other avenues. With a nod of acknowledgment, Eleanor took her leave, her mind already racing with plans for her next move.

As Paul's answer lingered in the air, Eleanor sensed there was more to his response than met the eye. She studied his demeanor, noting the subtle shifts in his expression and the tension in his posture. It was clear to her that there was something he wasn't saying.

Summoning her courage, Eleanor decided to probe further. "But Mr. McCartney," she persisted, her voice gentle but firm, "this new look... it's quite drastic. It's not just a change of hairstyle or wardrobe. It's almost as if..." She hesitated, searching for the right words.

Paul's gaze faltered for a moment, a fleeting glimpse of vulnerability flashing in his eyes before he regained his composure. "Look, lass," he interjected, his tone firm, "sometimes people just need a change. That's all there is to it."

But Eleanor wasn't so easily swayed. She could sense there was something deeper at play, something Paul wasn't willing to confront. With a determined glint in her eye, she prepared to delve deeper into the mystery, knowing that the truth was within her grasp, if only she had the courage to reach for it.

Despite Paul's attempt to brush off her questions, Eleanor couldn't shake the feeling that there was a deeper story behind his sudden transformation. She couldn't ignore the nagging doubts that gnawed at her mind.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Eleanor decided to approach the situation from a different angle. "Mr. McCartney," she began again, her tone gentle yet insistent, "I can't help but wonder if there's more to this than just a desire for change. The rumors swirling around about your appearance, about... about whether you're still the same person..."

Paul's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of annoyance crossing his features. "Look, love," he interrupted, his voice tinged with frustration, "I appreciate your curiosity, I really do. But sometimes rumors are just that - rumors. And as for me, well, I'm still the same old Paul."

But Eleanor wasn't convinced. She could sense there was a vulnerability lurking beneath Paul's confident facade, a vulnerability he was desperately trying to conceal. With a determined resolve, she prepared to press on, determined to uncover the truth no matter what obstacles stood in her way.

Feeling a surge of determination, Eleanor decided to approach the conversation with a mixture of empathy and persistence. She could see the tension in Paul's demeanor, the way his eyes darted nervously as if searching for an escape. But she couldn't back down now, not when she was so close to unraveling the mystery that had consumed her thoughts.

"Mr. McCartney," she said softly, her voice tinged with sympathy, "I understand that change can be difficult, especially when it's accompanied by speculation and rumors. But you must know that people are talking, wondering if there's more to this than meets the eye."

Paul's mask of composure slipped for a moment, a flicker of vulnerability shining through. Eleanor seized the opportunity, pressing on with her questions. "Is there something you're not telling me, Mr. McCartney? Something you're afraid to admit, even to yourself?"

For a moment, there was silence as Paul wrestled with his inner turmoil. Then, with a resigned sigh, he relented. "Alright, lass," he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. "There is more to this than meets the eye. But you have to promise me you'll keep it between us."

Eleanor nodded solemnly, her heart pounding with anticipation. Finally, she was about to uncover the truth behind Paul McCartney's mysterious transformation, and she was determined to see it through to the end, no matter what secrets lay buried beneath the surface.

Eleanor's heart leaped with anticipation as Paul seemed on the verge of revealing the truth. She leaned in, her eyes locked with his, ready to hear what he had to say. But before he could utter a word, the door slammed shut with a resounding thud, leaving Eleanor stunned and bewildered.

She pounded on the door, her mind racing with a flurry of questions and possibilities. Had Paul been about to confess something crucial? Or was he simply trying to throw her off the trail? Whatever the case, one thing was clear: she wasn't going to give up until she had the answers she sought.

With a determined resolve, Eleanor turned away from the locked door, her mind already racing with plans for her next move. Paul may have shut her out for now, but she wasn't about to let that stop her from uncovering the truth. The mystery of his transformation had only deepened, and Eleanor was more determined than ever to solve it once and for all.

As Eleanor walked away from Paul McCartney's house, the weight of disappointment settled heavy on her shoulders. She had come so close to uncovering the truth, only to have the door slammed shut in her face.

But as she reflected on the events of the day, Eleanor realized that her quest for answers had only just begun. Despite the setback, she remained undeterred in her determination to unravel the mystery surrounding McCartney's transformation.

With renewed resolve, Eleanor vowed to continue her investigation, exploring every lead and pursuing every clue until she finally uncovered the truth. The road ahead would be long and uncertain, but she was determined to see it through to the end.

And as she walked away, her mind already racing with plans for her next move, Eleanor couldn't help but feel a glimmer of excitement. For she knew that the truth was out there, waiting to be discovered, and she was determined to find it, no matter what obstacles stood in her way.

Day 5 of family vacation

Today was more eventful!

Wife and I got up comparatively early and managed to leave around 10:30am (only 10 minutes later than planned!), arriving on time for our electric catamaran tour of Elkhorn Slough. It was fabulous. We saw sea lions, harbor seals, loads of birds, and dozens of sea otters, including three otter pups with their mothers! They were so cute! Several of the otters were eating, and others were napping on the surface (in groups). We even spotted a few otters who had gone ashore!

Birdwise, it was also a major success: even aside from lots of favorites, I saw 3 birds I'd never seen before! These included Brandt's cormorants (hundreds of them, probably), common loons, and a common murre. The murre was interesting because when I saw it, an unfamiliar bird I had never identified, the word "murre" popped into my head. I have no idea how I knew! But I did check with the naturalist on board to make sure; she identified the cormorants (we saw all 3 of the species we get around here) and the loons as well. Other birds I've seen before, but not recently, included a couple of American avocets (this might be the first time I've ever seen them not in breeding plumage) and a black-necked stilt, as well as some Forster's terns. And there were several brown pelicans diving into the slough. Interestingly, a lot of the brown pelicans we've seen since arriving here are already in their breeding plumage!

It was really a great way to spend 1.5 hours.

Afterwards, Wife wanted seafood for lunch, so we drove to Castroville to a restaurant she wanted to try. Afterwards, of course, we had to visit the Giant Artichoke.

We came home and had some downtime before Best Friend arrived with her husband and Fake Nephew, who is now 14 (how?!). It was nice to see them, though Fake Nephew really wanted to play board games while Best Friend and I wanted to catch up. But at various points different family members played Ricochet Robot with him, and sometimes he joined the conversation. Our dinner delivery didn't arrive until about 8:40--much later than expected--by which time we were all famished despite having snacked. But afterwards, Fake Nephew actually loaded the dishwasher! We will see them again tomorrow, which is our last day here.

The other thing is that the snowy plover banding people wrote back! Most of the birds whose bands I managed to record had been banded as adults, mostly at nearby beaches, one on this same beach. But one was a juvenile banded as a chick just this past summer! and one had been banded as an adult 9.5 years ago!

As of today (November 1st) Blaketober is officially over and, my goodness, what a ride. I am a changed person. Lowkey proud of myself for respecting the timeline, even when I thought I wouldn't make it (tragic) and entertained the idea of cheating a little (fyi, I didn't, except on one (1) small occasion, but it was just 20 pages and life got in the way,so-).

Like basically anything else in my life, here are my unasked for opinions on all the books <3

Needless to say, there will probably be spoilers

Alone with You in the Ether [★★★]

This challenge didn't start off very strong for me. Although I did overall enjoy the story, this was the book I struggled the most with—the only one, actually. The writing style was phenomenal, to no one's surprise, but I found the pace to be a bit slow, and didn't particularly connect with the characters. Not to mention the theories (seriously, Olivie, leave quanta alone). To sum it up: Not my cup of tea, my cute little brain was not made for this. But the bees !!!

One For My Enemy [★★★★★]

This, on the other hand, my brain very much enjoyed. My heart can't say the same, given the fact that I was in physical pain after finishing it, but anyway- I felt for Dima, for Masha, for Dima and Masha, for Sasha, for my baby Lev (love that man, seriously). I even felt for Roman. Roman! Someone give that man a hug. What a tragedy, this book. Olivie blake could easily write Romeo and Juliet, but could Shakespeare write One for my Enemy? I don't think so.

Masters of Death [★★★★★]

One of the best books I've read this year. Favorite one out of all five. Easily. Even if ghost Thomas Edward Parker the fourth was a child of Twitter, yes. I spent half of the book laughing out loud and the other half crying. I wish I were joking, but I'm not. I was hyperventilating by the end of it. (Not fun.) Fox and Brandt could step on me and I'd thank them. Seriously, go back and do it again. Don't walk, run to buy this book.

The Atlas Six [★★★★]

It was supposed to be 3.5 stars, since I felt like it missed that ✨sparkle✨, but that is to be expected when you already know the plot points and twists and all of that, so I decided to change it and leave the rating as it was after the first read. If I gave it 4 stars, there's a reason. I don't really have much else to say about this? I still didn't understand shit about physics and quantum theory (again), but I did understand the characters a little better this time around. Or, at least, I started to appreciate them for who they were instead of what I wanted them to be, Parisa and Libby included. A win is a win, right?

The Atlas Paradox [★★★★]

Repeat after me: Nico can learn how to live without his left hand (Libby), but he can't learn how to live without his conscience bECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS WITHOUT GIDEON !!!!!!

@olivieblake don't worry, I'll take it well if they're not endgame 😊(🔪)

Anyway, Dalton? Hello, hi, nice to meet you. Also, who told Callum he could be so hilarious? That man is not appreciated enough, methinks. I am so ready for The Atlas Complex and whatever new project our lord and saviour Olivie is working on. Take all my money. Take my firstborn too, I don't care, just give me the gays and the theys.

#dee reads #blaketober #alone with you in the ether #one for my enemy #masters of death #the atlas six #the atlas paradox #the atlas series #olivie blake

Enha - WWhen they're jealous Pt5

Sunghoon x y/n! And I found another variant of Brad, thankfully. ✨BRANDT✨ WHOOHOO! Anyway, I hope y'all are doing well, have some flowers 💐 (I picked them just for you 🤭). Requests are open as always, and sorry it took longer to post this one 😬

PARK SUNGHOON

Sunghoon is an ex - ice-skating athlete 😱

And now he's an idol 😵

Don't expect me to not make this about him dancing with you on ice...

It was like you two were doing a Disney - On - Ice tour, gliding together like Elsa and Olaf 👸😍

So, I don't know you personally... OR DO I?

But srsly, I don't know if you're good or bad at ice-skating. But either way, it didn't matter, bc your ice Prince was holding you tight in his arms

Protected from the cold, protected from potentially falling, protected from BOYS...

Or so he hoped... 😧

Sunghoon tries to spin you again, a cute smile on his face, the kind where his nose scrunched up and he throws his head back

Your arm sticks out a little, and that was when SOMEONE knocked into you 😤

Let's imagine Sunghoon was abt to say "Hey, watch it!" in an old New York accent

But he didn't get the chance as he saw you were in danger of slipping and falling and hurting yourself

NOT A SCRATCH ON HIS S/O!! 😡

However, Sunghoon didn't get the chance to catch you, as the person who almost KILLED YOU had caught and secured you in their own arms already

You look up

Hey ✨Brandt✨, what are YOU doing here????

Sunghoon was already jealous for a few reasons:

Reason No. 1, you immediately greeted this guy with a huge, pure smile.

Reason No. 2, Hoon thought HE was the only ice-skating professional you knew.

Reasom No. 3, he caught you when Hoon didn't.

Reason No. 4, ✨Brandt✨ had his arms wrapped around you.

Reason No. 5, WHY DID HE HAVE HIS ARMS WRAPPED AROUND YOU?

Boy has a death wish, and Sunghoon was more than willing to fulfil it for a moment

But he decided to observe for a moment first, just to see what was going on

"Hey! Damn, Y/N, I haven't seen you in ages." The guy said, pulling you into a hug. One that wasn't approved of by Sunghoon, your watchful boyfie

"IKR? What has it been, a year-?"

"And a half." ✨Brandt✨ finished your sentence

AWWHHH, cute right?

INCORRECT. MORE LIKE AHHHHH, STUPID RIGHT?

Hoon tries to gently grab at your waist to pull you back to him, but awkwardly doesn't know how to do so without seeming too desperate

✨Brandt✨ doesn't seem to know he was holding onto you for dead life, ffs

"And oh my god, I haven't seen you ice skate in even longer!" You bring up, and if it was anyone but you, he wouldn't have refrained from rolling his eyes

You were his sweet s/o

Read it again: HIS

That small thought process led Sunghoon to just not hesitating anymore as you two continued to conversate

This was all wrong to him 😣💔

Ice Prince just pouts a lil and glided away

He left the rink, and sat on one of the many hundreds of seats outside of the ice ring

Sulks. Literally. Pity him like a man baby

SOMEBODY GIVE HIM HIS S/O BACK.

You realise after some time that Sunghoon isn't there, and-

Oh boy

Oh deary me

Sunghoon acts tough and possessive around you, but... He secretly cannot be left alone when he misses you

It's acc not that much of a secref

SORRY HOON, IMA SPILL THE TEA

One time, you were mad at him (literally, just that one time in ur entire relationship, that's how much he hates being without you)

You didn't talk to him for, what, a day? And it was early on in your relationship, he could have been able to deal with it

SHOULD have been able to

He wasn't himself. 😭. Sunghoon didn't leave the house. Didn't leave the room. Didn't leave from under his duvet, didn't leave his phone. He was hopelessly waiting for your call to say you forgave him for whatever he did that was wrong

Couldn't eat, sleep, smile.

Nothing... 😔

SO YOU CAN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR TOO LONG. OKAY?

You ask your friend to help you over to Sunghoon, and he leaves you two be.

You just plop in his lap, half to make him snap out of it and feel better, half because you really can't stay on skates any longer than this

You reconcile. 🎉

Both here and at home 😉

"Hoon, are you jealous?"

"Don't sound so condescending. I have EVERY reason to be."

"You look like you're gonna throw a tantrum." you deadpan

"And I will if you don't come home with me right now."

Now that's Sunghoon done with for now in this lil series. Sorry it wasn't as long or anything! If you want sumn more specific, pls request - doesn't have to be Enhypen based!

Hope you liked reading, I'll be back soon with some Sunoo 👌

Bye bye <3

#enhypen headcanons #enhypen #park sunghoon #park jongseong #lee heeseung #sim jake #kim sunoo #yang jungwon #nishimura riki #jealousy

clares vanguard rambling corner

eledglema, or the batman as a lot of the vanguard refer to him, is a meme deck yes but one that i will stan for forever. eledglema has 2 skills. the first when theyre placed as the vanguard reveals the top 5 cards of the deck and places any revealed set orders directly into the order zone. this is helpful because generally you can only play 1 order per turn so even if only hit 1 off the top 5, youre still accelerating the game plan. also we generally we run mostly orders that let us draw cards or otherwise plus in other ways, so win win. still the inconsistent nature of the top 5 check is why this is considered a meme. ive packed as many orders i reasonably can for this reason but yknow. eledglema's second skill is the payoff, and the trigger you generally wanna hold off pulling til the last second. after the battle it attacked, choose any number of set orders from the order zone and send em back. sending back 3 with different names restands a rearguard, sending back 5 restands the vanguard as well. so lets say youre able to hold back and get lucky and wind up with 13 set orders. this results being able to restand eledglema twice and a rearguard thrice, which assuming you have a full board, equates to eight total attacks. generally the ceiling for amount of attacks is about 5-6, so you can see why its compelling to want to pull off. fun fact is that eledglema is actually able to pull off the most attacks in a single turn in standard play at 20 attacks, but thats not going to happen in a practical match.

so while that is the main game plan it is worth mentioning some significant supporting actors. we run the arkhite ride line for its thematic purpose (shes a monster researcher and eledglemas a monster), as well the ability to tutor torrential energy research, a set order that grabs monsters revealed in the top 5. a bit a gacha mechanic theme going on. we have savoeid, a monster that recycles itself and other monsters, ensuring we always have a proper board and access to reriding eledglema every turn. we also use the craggy monster perfect guards to increase the amount of monsters in the deck as well as sure up our defenses. habitable zone tutors set orders as well as increases the total playable for the turn up to 2. mobile kennel eingarten is a cute set order that has a dog on it,, but acts good fodder for a lot of our effects that require discarding, cuz when its discarded it just cheats itself into the order zone instead. definitely a card you wanna see in your hand rather than in eledglema's top 5 peek. finally the shining new star from this years festival collection: Surga & Dargage. theyre a dual nation pair for brandt gate and dark states, that look at the top x+1 cards of the deck (where x is the number of set orders you have in play), put one to soul and then allow you to put a card from your soul to your hand. in most decks, this is moderate filtering. but for eledglema who can get x higher than anyone else, this is the ultimate compression piece. the best case scenario is playing one and starting a chain that brings them all out of deck and making it so your deck is almost all triggers in the late game, setting yourself up for the best moment to use eledglema's restanding skill.

this has been clare rambling vanguard thoughts, please consider playing vanguard. its worth it.

@icecreamvi replied to your post “Ok just finished rogue nation i think i liked...”:

I loved when they put the guy in the box

i loved when Ethan had a cute lil convo with the terminal agent at the start

i loved when ethan fixated on ilsa's shoes, and when ilsa tossed him the key but he couldn't fucking reach it so he just vaulted the pole, and the power of both of them barefoot and fighting in tandem

i loved every moment alec baldwin looked like an idiot

i loved all of Brandt's microexpressions (there are a lot)

i loved Benji just casually being able to completely clown on a lie detector test, the first of many hints that his competence has grown. also grown: his beard, and it looks amazing and soft

I loved "Hi Benji. Miss me?" like my god <3

I loved how Benji is GENUINELY INTO OPERA, we never get hints that he's a scifi or fantasy geek but we KNOW he is into classical music and live performance, that's so good

I loved Ilsa in the golden dress, esp the lil shorts underneath that are so functional

I loved Ethan vs a Tall Dude and how it genuinely alters how Ethan has to fight, and the desperation of his physicality, esp that double kick to the guy's chest, it's so GOOD

I love how Ilsa spots Benji once and saves his life bc everyone who lays eyes on Benji imprints on him

I love the car chase and how Ethan bodily searched Ilsa but it's not gross or weird, it's professional, I love it so much

I love the fucking scene between Ilsa and Solomon, the seething annoyance between them, the grit-teeth cooperation, I adore it. also just how she tossed the gun and how NOISILY it clatters on his sushi setting

(i'm gonna keep going )

I love that Simon Pegg pointed out that Benji is the only person allowed to yell at Ethan, and its GLORIOUS when it happens. i love Ethan's stunned little "okay" after and the microsmile he gives as he turns away.

I love Luther's role in the story, I really adore how Luther and Benji on paper have similar roles but in function they are just so different. Benji is a field tech, he has initiative and moves on his feet. Luther is better at the actual tech stuff, can do much more impressive feats, but doesn't have that same boots on the ground vibe. It's amazing.

I love Ethan and Benji's Morocco outfits. Ethan's in maybe his most colorful outfit of the series and I love it, and BENJI'S SHOOOOES.

I love Ilsa debriefing the boys and how cute they are and her expressions during it.

I love that Tom Cruise can hold his breath for fucking five to seven minutes and he freaked out the filming crew during the torus sequence.

I LOVE THE FUCKING WRITING CHOICE, THAT BENJI TELLS ILSA "I MISJUDGED YOU" RIGHT BEFORE SHE FUCKS HIM OVER. OH IT'S SO JUICY.

I love that in MI3, when Ethan came back from the bed he was immediately 'on' and ready, but in RN when he comes back from the dead, he's like. he's so fucked up l m a o.

I absolutely adore that when the script called for Ethan and Benji to get into the car, TC was like "I can't just get in the car" and then was like "I got it. roll cameras, I got it," and then improvised the moment when ethan faceplants off the car. And I love it bc I see myself in that technique, because it's a moment that had the potential to have Something, so he made sure it did. With a movie, you have 2 to 3 hours to tell a story and convey characters, and TC refuses to waste any of the moments, and I try my best to do the same with my writing, so I respect it.

I love the motorcycle chase but I'm a slut for all motorcycle scenes.

I love "Tell me you made a copy of that disk," "Of course I made a copy," the LOVE IN BENJI'S EYES. GOD.

I love Ilsa vs her shitty handler and the horror of how screwed she is, how you can watch the hope in her eyes die. Also the shake in her voice with "You bring me in," its amazing.

I love Brandt vs Ethan for the entire end of the story, the Bitchiness vs the Tiredness, it's tasty. Great chemistry.

The entire scene between Solomon and Ilsa in the graveyard is honestly gorgeous. The scenery, the camera pulled all the way back, the black slim look Lane has, Ilsa's amazing coat, the way they talk. I really adore that entire scene.

I love how Ethan doesn't think for a second about running away with Ilsa.

AND OF COURSE I LOVE THAT THEY TOOK BENJI. He's the damsel! And Ethan immediately loses it, he's out of his mind, yeah lets kidnap the fucking PRIME MINISTER, and how every time he tries to explain Lane, everyone else is like "ethan, u cray tho" I love Ethan's desperation, I feast on it.

I love how... Ethan memorized the fucking list. What a fucking batshit move. God.

I love Ilsa vs the Bone Doctor and how she rides his body the fuck down. THE WAY THAT RN KEEPS FUCKING WITH GENDER, like Ethan's play against Lane is a Wounded Gazelle Gambit, a very femme-coded move that fits with his MI1 history as a honeytrap, while Ilsa gets the extended fight scene.

I'M FORGETTING OTHER THINGS BUT I LOVE RN

not as much as I love Fallout tho

So 2022 is really kicking my ass...the Saturday we went to Comic Con I got the text to say my Grandma, my mum’s mum, had passed away.

She was 90, had been ill for 3 years and had been in hospital all of that week but it still hit me. My mum threatened me with my own demise though if I even thought about coming home so I went and had the best time with @tylrposey and our friend Ebony.

I just wanted to write everything that happened here so I can look back on it and remember how much fun we had and how nice people were!

So just going to write about how it was meeting Lesley Ann Brandt, Linden Ashby, Tyler Hoechlin and Tyler Posey and watching the Teen Wolf Panel!

So the first person I met was Lesley Ann Brandt, Maze from Lucifer and Nika from my oc that time! She’s my fave from Lucifer so was the obvious choice for me, but I kinda wish I had also met Aimee Garcia because I’ve seen her pics and stories from meeting her and she seemed so sweet! If only I were rich ey!

Anyway. Lesley was super sweet! I went to her first photo session of the weekend and, with us being diamond pass, was one of the first to have my picture with her. I always make sure I say hi and be super polite because I have seen a few people treat them a bit rudely? Like, I’m paying for this so you’ll do what I want kind of thing.

She gave me this super sweet smile, asked me how I was (and told me she was great when I asked her) then I wasn’t sure how to stand so she said ‘Shall we do a back to back?’ so we did and I think it came out really cute! What I didn’t realise was she then went to wearing her mask with other people so it may have been a safety kind of thing but I still think it came out really nice!

We then went and met Linden Ashby, we all had pics with him so we went together. Ebony went first, then Becca and then me...he is defo a silver fox! What a handsome dude!

And so so nice! Obviously you only get a couple of seconds in the booth with them but he welcomed me with a smile, asked me if I have a preferred side (as Becca had requested which one she stood on!!) then told me I was very welcome after the picture was taken and I said thank you.

He was so nice that we went to his table and got our pictures signed, he sat and spoke to us for ages about how he looked too tan on the pics, how he was enjoying being in the UK etc. He was so easy to talk to!

We left the Saturday quite early, after shopping around the stalls (I love buying art from cons!). It was so hot in the venue with not many places to sit, a long line at the bar and they had taken our drinks off us before we came in.

The next day was the Tylers day!!

Posey was so cute, I did get a bit nervous meeting him because it’s Scott McCall!! But he was all smiles and energy and just made you feel SO welcome. I’ll talk more about him when we get to the auto bit so here’s my pic;

Then we met Hoechlin, he was looking SO cozy in a white jumper and, just like everyone else, was full of smiles and was so welcoming. Even though you only got a few seconds they all really made it feel like an ‘experience’ instead of rushing you through like a few at Liverpool Comic Con did.

After we had the pic taken, me and Becca were in the same one, the girls at the printing stations told me our pic hadn’t printed properly and just handed me a pic of just me?? So I was so confused and they sent me over to some other people to ask them if I could have it reprinted.

So I was just wandering around with this picture of me like ‘help me what do I need to do’ until this woman came and took it off me and was like ‘wait there’.

So I was just like okay?? and I turned to Becca and Ebony and was like ‘what is going on, help me Derek!’ only to turn back around to see actual Derek Hale grinning at me, holding the picture of me up against his face going ‘Are you coming in for another pic or am I posing like this??’ So I grabbed Becca and we went back into the booth for another pic and he was so nice!! He went ‘Second times a charm! But if you need a third, you’ll be very welcome!’

Luckily (sadly?) the printing worked this time but it did mean I got to spend more time with Hoechlin!

(he gave me the picture of me back, my mum has it now hahaha)

After meeting Tyler H we went over and got our Posey autos and let me tell you that boy is an ANGEL. Throughout the weekend we could see his queue and people talking to him and you could just tell that he was being the Sweetest, making sure to give everyone the most time he could. His girlfriend was there as well and she was just as sweet! A few people asked her for selfies etc or spoke to her and she gave them more than enough time without taking away from Tyler.

We ended up being first in the queue because of the passes we had and omg I was literally shaking. I tried to hide it because Becca was so nervous and I had to be the strong one but I am KNOWN for embarrassing myself in front of famous people so there was a risk.

Always, he signed my picture and I introduced Becca as the Scott to my Stiles which he LOVED and he guessed how to spell Becca’s name in one go which he was super happy about. I told him I’d paid for selfies too so he leaned over the table and we took a few pics and I asked him if I could have a hug because all I wanted that weekend was a posey hug :((( and he went “No!” and I was thinking shit I've done it again but he carried on and went “over the table is SHIT I'm coming round there!!” and he came round and gave me a massive hug then asked for my phone again...but it had died!!! So Becca had to give me hers, he took a pic of me and him then was trying to get Becca and Ebony in. I was going “higher!! higher!!!!” because Becca kept trying to hide hahaha

Then I forgot to get my pic he’d signed so he had to chase after me calling my name to give it me back

Ebony also met Dylan Sprayberry who was so nice and had gummy bears stuck to his forehead (?) and had to be moved away from Posey on the Sunday hahaha, I can only imagine the havoc they were causing even with Hoechlin in between them!

We also accidentally stalked Chandler Riggs because his table was in the coolest place in the whole venue and had a breeze going right through it. We ended up getting his auto for Ebony’s uncle tho I’m not sure it wasn’t out of sheer awkwardness. He was very nice but, as someone with a zombie phobia, I hadn’t seem him in TWD haha!

The Teen Wolf panel (which happened in-between meeting the two Tylers) was amazing. They talked about all sorts from their fave take out (Hoechlin doesn’t do take out while Linden talked about one from Hawaii for a g e s), weird fan encounters (Posey said there was no weird, he will accept anything then offered to cut his hair for people in the front row. Sprayberry said someone accidentally put their finger in his armpit when they were posing for the picture the previous day...but that was more weird for them than him), Sprayberry talking about how he had called Linden to help him with an out of control party one time and he showed up in his Beacon Hills sheriff outfit and how Posey wished he had Scott’s dirt bike but it was auctioned off before he could take it or even bid on it! Bless him seeing as Dylan got the jeep!!

Someone brought up Stiles and Kira not being in the movie which they expertly dodged, saying that there was still plenty of other characters coming back, staying very diplomatic which I don’t blame them for!! Someone asked Hoechlin about Sterek...in 2022. He said he supported anything the fans wanted to ship, shipping wasn’t for him but if that’s what people wanna do it’s what they wanna do then Linden talked about how he didn’t understand what shipping meant for so long hahaha

Also they talked about how the movie is set 15 years after the last ep (Posey pointing out that made Scott older than him, when all throughout the show he’d been younger than him) and they don’t have a release date for it yet, they’re definitely excited for us to see what they’ve made though!!

It was just so hot in there and there wasn’t much seating (it was by far the best con I’d been too apart from the lack of seating at the panels and the heat) so I can’t remember much of the panel and Becca had to go for fresh air (so I was worried!).

When we went over to where she was sat Zachary Quinto was randomly chilling outside of the door we were by. I swear every time I went passed his desk he wasn’t there!

But yeah, that was our weekend! I’ve spent the week helping my mum with funeral stuff (Becca managed another weekend away with Westlife idk how!) so it was nice to relive!

If you’ve read this far, thank you and I hope you enjoyed hearing about it!
