Thoughts on the astrophage challenge?

(I personally don't think it's real at all, there just isn't enough astrophage for a bunch of dumb teens to be getting their hands on it)

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

DO NOT EAT ASTROPHAGE.

DO NOT EAT ULTRABLACK PAINT. (since that's what they're mostly using; it's super freaking hard to get hold of astrophage on Stratt's Vat, nevermind rural America)

DO NOT POUR ASTROPHAGE OVER YOURSELF.

...Maybe pour ultrablack paint over yourself? I mean, there's no obvious downside besides that being a rather stupid thing to do.

(P.S.: I only have a vague knowledge of who Mr. Beast is but he needs to stop this whole astrophage challenge thing, if what news outlets are reporting is true. Which, to be fair, may not be true.)

I know what you did, because I’m smart (botgd 2 oneshot)

Dixie glanced around the safe house as Blunt stood across from him with folded arms. “How very...like Scruffy to have a place such as this. It’ll make an excellent place to hide and house half breed refugees. Protective and camouflage wards by the Weaver himself...Your man is such a dear.”

Blunt didn’t say a word, and just starred his cousin down.

Dixie squinted a little, and then tsked once. “A horrible turn of events. But I have relief supplies heading to the rebellion in troves. As much as I can afford for free, and a discount for the rest. I intend to only make enough of a profit to replenish the depleted charity stock, and pay for my...task forces. Anyone they catch complying with that ridiculous ‘kill on sight’ order will have their head’s pasted and remains sent home in a box before they have time to reconsider the error of their ways...” He paused as the uncomfortable silence returned. “Oh good heavens Blunt what is it? Why are we here?” 

“So you can talk freely.” Blunt told him, and motioned at the walls. “This place is nearly invisible, impervious to sounds escaping to the outside...I want you to, at least once, admit what you did...” 

Dixie lowered his casually raised hand. “Oh? A confession? Pray tell cousin, what on earth do you mean?” 

“You know what Dixie, others treating me as a fool is fine, that’s what I present, and that’s what I like. But you’re different. You call me an oaf and dimwitted, but I’m as smart  as you are and you know it.” 

Dixie barked a laugh. “Oh my, this is rich. What a claim. And what makes you think that?”

Blunt’s fingers tightened on his arms. “Because I’ve been thinking about Opie’s arrest...and something else that Sweetbutt had talked to me about a while ago that I didn’t consider connected to anything...until now.” He began to pace a bit. “I kept asking myself, what would I do, if I were you...”

“If you were me doing what?” Dixie asked in a brazen challenge, only there was a small element of vulnerability behind the words. 

“Taking revenge against Darien.” Blunt answered, and Dixie’s expression soured. The larger man held up a finger. “Sweetbutt, Akkey, and I...we all changed a lot. We all went from bad people, to better people. Seeing Darien do the same made us see him differently than how you see him. It’s no mystery you wanted retribution for the genocide he caused. You don’t relate-”

“Yes, pardon me for not relating to the likes of Darien.” Dixie interrupted. “By the way, lovely perpetuated mess that we’re dealing with to this day on account of him.”

“You exploited Opie.” Blunt accused flatly, and didn’t let his cousin’s interruption take him off track. “You left your gun, and he stole it, just as you instructed him. He used it to attack Darien, and went on the run to maintain the element that this all wasn’t just a set up. You ‘discovered your weapon missing’ at a moment where you could have been killed by not having it, and reported it missing immediately, to deliberately link yourself to the crime. You’d be confronted, but there wouldn’t be enough evidence to convict, and in a twisted way, you’d seem more innocent by appearing as the initial suspect, only to be dismissed later...you used the rebellion’s mercy against them. There’s no way they will, or even could, give Opie a punishment even close to the severity Darien, or Indigo got. Especially since no one died.” He gave him a s tern look. “Am I wrong?”

Dixie leaned forward menacingly. “Why would Opie agree to something insane like that? I took exception of his and his father’s situation sure, but it wasn’t personal. So why would I even seek him out?”

“Because you had the one thing he wanted. A chance for revenge. You found Rhenco...his tormentor, and traded his location to Opie in exchange for the job. Opie is smart too, he knew he’d get away with it. What makes it worse in some ways, is that because of your, often valid I’ll admit, criticisms, you and Grey managed to create something that fully utilized the rebellions lenient approach to matters, while still ensuring victim safety and justice. You literally exploited the last loophole before it was permanently patched up...You deny it?”

Dixie didn’t say anything.

Blunt gave an annoyed hiss. “Come on Dixie. The Brotherhood can’t hear you in here. Yeah, I know about them, Stonegit told me, and I’m figuring they threw a wrench in your gears in a way that forced you to take this convoluted approach.” His shoulders lessoned their tension a bit. “There’s only one reason you’d be willing to be so quiet over something, even if you erased all the evidence...and that’s if you were hurting...”

Dixie strode forward with a flare in his eyes. “Hurting? Try practicality. Let me tell you a little something about whether or not something is worth confessing to Blunt Elmiss.” He pushed a finger into his chest as he tilted his chin up at him. “You think I’d risk admitting to this insane conspiracy theory of yours for even a second? Based on everything I’ve seen? I make a bounty against a man who murdered hundreds of thousands, and the next day an innocent secretary almost gets his throat slit over people who ‘support the rebellion.’ I see the charred bodies of people, and children, I knew, people and children I was supposed to take care of. I spoke softly and I was scorned. I spoke louder and I was shut down. I became angry in my approach, and I was seen as a greater enemy than the man who killed all those people! Why?! I know why! Donz...Donz! Donz! DONZ! That name, thrown in my face time and time again, as if I were somehow Orskaf!”

He paced away as he threw his hands over his head. “Oh but then there was you. You, you perfect angel. You loveable trickster. You, who was, and is, and will always be just like me. But your cheery, stupid, wide eyed face has disassociated you with your grandfather long ago. And yet I, was linked to man who wasn’t even in my nuclear family! Yes! I’ll admit it Blunt, I was harsh, I was unkind in those very specific moments. But I was also silenced, in all but formality I was driven off the island, and the only thing I ever wanted to do for them was help. FUCK! I’m still helping them, and I always will! No matter how angry they made me, I saw the good past it, there was never any doubt...so why couldn’t the same be done for me!? You want me to confess? Well then first look me in the eye and tell me they’d accept me one day...”

Silence fell between them. Dixie blinked, and then slowly brought a hand up to grab at the front of his shirt. He seemed...shocked. Shocked at how much he had, and was, feeling in that moment. It was...hurt...just as Blunt had said. The man folded his arms and turned away. 

Blunt crossed his arms as well after a pause. “If I had known they were throwing your name back in your face...I’ve knocked their heads. I’m sorry...”

“Think nothing of it.” Dixie said in an attempted dismissal. “I understand, I act the part.”

“I might be mad at you for what I know you did...whether you’ll ever admit it or not...but in grand total...you haven’t done anything worse than half the people on that island...You’re a hard pill to swallow, and I think I hate you most days. And I think this is a valuable lesson for you to learn, that good deeds, and being good at what you don’t, don’t mean a lot when you’re an asshole to people.”

Dixie sniffed once as if in mockery, but there was a bitter edge to it.

“But.” Blunt held up a hand, and sighed. “I think you also showed us where some weaknesses lie. And I’m not even talking about the criminal justice. The rebellion...it used to have a unity about it, even if someone was a total dick. Akkey and Tree, Grey and Seasick, Greg and Haddock, Stonegit and Skye...there were so many people that had huge blow outs, and moments where they couldn’t agree on anything. But we were all in the mess together, and we were intent on seeing it through...I think we lost some of that. Dixie...I wanted you off Haligan because I wanted you here, where you could have help, where you...”

Dixie glanced at him.

Blunt searched for the right word. “Well where you had people that really loved you.”

Dixie blinked, and then glanced around as if he hadn’t quite understood what he meant. 

“You were ostracized by the one group of people you actually wanted to be friends with. A lot of it was your fault, and lot of it was theirs. There’s no some in this one. Everyone fucked up. And it hurt you. Because you never meant for that to happen. Even when you tried to make it right, you probably never lost a certain tight feeling in your chest...you’re not alone. Stones in particular knows what that’s like...”

With his back still turned to him, Dixie swallowed thickly. “Please Blunt.” He droned. “Just because you always called me by my right name, said you liked my dress when we were kids in front of all your cool friends who had seen it fit to throw dirt at me, doesn’t mean any of this monologue means anything coming from you...”

Blunt shook his head a little. “Your walls don’t have to come down right away, or even all at once Dixie. But its high time you knew that I saw them just as clearly as you saw mine.” He dared to step a little closer to him. “You saved my relationship Dixie, with both Stones, and Akkey...I can’t even begin to think about how I could repay you for that alone. At the same time, you’re an angry, violent person who maims people who stole something as lifeless as money. You can’t be both of those things...eventually you’ll have to choose one...” 

“Not a fan of duplicity hm?” Dixie asked coyly, but there was still that strange, uncharacteristic strain in his voice.

Blunt held out a hand, and when his cousin glanced at him, he saw it in his eyes. It was the same look he saw in Stonegit’s eyes, Akkey’s eyes. The trauma, the hurt, the baseless compulsive reaction to hide it all and bear it alone. “Come home with me...stay in the loft for a while.” Blunt invited him. “With Stones working so much and Akkey back out in the field...I could use the company...and so could you...”

Dixie regarded him, and then took his hand in-between two fingers. “Well...very well I suppose...”

And so Blunt walked out from the safehouse with his cousin. It was not the first time in recent history, nor would it be the last, that he raked the coals over this man for his poor choices. But there was also a sudden resurgence of familial protectiveness he hadn’t felt in a very long time, and he knew he would have choice words with others as well, and maybe even a demon, which was certainty saying something.      

[c-atm]

Prepared?

Steven couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down his eyes. He arrived too late. Too late to protect her...Thank goodness for Garnet, future vision and Lion. She would've be in worse shape than she currently is without them. Still, torn clothing, the bruised and sliced cheek and eye, the bloody and burnt gashes on her torso, inner thighs and chest, smaller ones littered all over her body, her left arm cauterized from the shoulder and her haggard breathing. It was too much to take in.

Still he allowed some pride to seep in. By the time he and the gems appeared at her now trashed campsite, there were a number of mutant fusions gems poofed at her feet and ready to be bubbled. As for Connie, she stood ready to fight..to defend the camp. Never dropping her shaking blade, even greeted them with a pain-filled and tear stricken yet brilliant smile.

He already knew what she was going to say but he quickly and gently silenced her. There was no way in hell he was going to let her apologize and beat herself up for defending the lives here, successfully at that.. His main objective was three fold. Get Connie to the fountain for recovery. find who or whatever did this. Make sure they can’t do it anymore.

“ How many are left?” Steven urgency in his voice made his question almost come off as a command. Connie didn’t take no offense though, she can imagine how much it pained him to see one of his loved ones in her currfent condition

“Just one...they’re smart” Her voice started to break up with her facade of strength. She coughed harshly, overwhelmed with sadness and disgust before she started to sobbed “ They killed three councillors, sent the smaller and lesser ones to overcome them, swarm them and tear them like animals.” She coughed up a bit of blood and dropped to her knees still sobbing.

Seeing her breakdown like this fueled him with an unknown rage, he looked at the gems and non-verbally told them to find the gem. As soon as they left searching in different direction lion heard a shuffling in the trees. Getting on in front of his master and mistress, the mighty beast released a supersonic roar, clearing quite a piece of land bear and creating bit of a dirt cloud..

A quiet ‘fwwth!” was heard from said cloud as a red hot spike flew towards the trio. Before Steven could respond, Connie with her last bit of strength knocked it back toward which it came, before collapsing out of fatigue,and pain. Steven lifted Connie up onto Lion gently. She tried to refuse stating she could help still, which brought a small smile to his face. Her spirit was his inspiration even now.

“Get her to the fountain now.”

Lion didn’t need any coaxing as he opened up the portal and leaped through. He watched them go before balling up his fist, his eyes cold as ice and harder than any diamond. He turned to see the creature walking from the cloud, a stalker smile on its face...

Thin and jagged mass, about the size of garnet, looked like a green, red and purple polygon humanoid with two legs and arms. It’s gem was a surprisingly perfect oval but was damaged with a noticeable crack. From what he could tell it had one rectangular eye, a perfectly formed nose and a mouth. It had claws in sets of three with blood on them and piece of Connie’s camp uniform in its ‘right hand’. A set of two talons on each ‘foot’

“Any other time I might have thought you were cool looking, like a boss from a game.” Steven taunted, as he stood waiting.

“Thisss isss no a game diamond bearer. Thisss isss a hunt and you just took my candidate for assimilating and population.”

Steven was a little put off by the fact that this mutant can talk, didn’t help that its voice sounded like it was slithering..but neither of that matter..No, what matter was this thing attacked his Connie...with intent to use her for 'population'?... Steven was sure he heard wrong.

“What do you mean..?”

The mutant smirked before speaking. “It assss I sssworned, to bring ssstrong humans and gemssss to populate usss through assimilation and artificial breeding. But now none of it matters since your here..Her time will come, regardlesssss.”

As the thing was speaking he saw the gems heading back and gave them a look to stand down for now.

”You swore huh..Means there someone in control and you’re a soldier” .Steven smirked abit. “ And you guys know about us? Me, Connie, the Crystal gems and such?”

The thing smiled as it claws started to burn red hot “What of it Diamond bearer?”

The mutant charged forward claws ready to burn the young hybrid in half only to stop mid run; feeling an extremely uncomfortable, drill-like sensation through its body before being blown back a few feet and onto the ground. The mutant looked up and saw Steven walking towards it, his hands encased with bubbles with spinning spikes. It was literally it only thing it could do, it’s gem cracked to a near shattering, from Steven’s blow..it couldn’t even close it’s drill wounds..

“You know, if your boss or whoever knows about us..then there is no need to keep you around...So Ms.jagged.” His cold tone dropped even lower and in his eyes shined with malice as he stood over the now horrified gem. “For harming innocent humans..For killing innocent humans”

Steven lifted his fist, the spin on the spike getting faster and faster creating sparks of energy. “FOR HAVING THE AUDACITY TO EVEN THINK OF ATTACKING MY CONNIE! YOU’RE PREPARED FOR WHATS NEXT, RIGHT!?”

The mutant couldn’t respond, the roar of Steven scaring it straight to it’s very essence mustering what little energy it had it spoke lightly. “n-GUUUUUUUAAAAAHHGHGGGHGAAAhhhhh!”

Steven spinning fist interrupted the response, turning it to horrifying gurgled scream as the drills burned, twisted, ripped, and chewed the mouth of the hard light construct. Steven didn’t stop there,The rectangular eye was next, it’s nose after that, it’s limbs followed then he just started to wail on it. Each strike more nightmarish than the last, the scraping and sawing sounds, the mutants gargled attempts at screaming and Steven unrelenting stare as he worked.

It lasted all but 45 seconds before the monster finally poofed. He looked at the gem and was so tempted to shatter, but it did had information he reasoned and decided to bubble it without healing it. Sending it back to the temple with the others.

The crystal gems while cautious walked up to him, Pearl was the first to speak.

“Steven, are you-

“NO!”

His rage was still there but subsided when he realized it was Pearl. He looked forlorn and broken “ I’m sorry for that..Just, I’m not gonna be ok, not to until I see Connie is back on her feet.”

Pearl gave him a reassuring smile “Steven, we understand. No one gonna fault your actions or your emotions.”

Steven looked around and saw that they were all in agreement with Pearl; he gave them a small smile in return “I appreciate that…”

“Steven”

The boy turned to pearl as she presented the corpses of the brave councillors who fought with Connie, two women and a man. They wore torn, scarred and missing pieces of meat but they would be ok. Steven smirked to himself as the tears started to run. It took only a few minutes for the corpses to turn pink, missing parts grown back and was waking up like it was all a dream.

It was at this time that Lion decided to return. Steven didn’t hesitate to get the beast to bring him to the fountain, leaving the gems to explain what happened...Not before thanking the councilors for their part in the battle either.

Steven arrived at the fountain and quickly ran towards his berry, who was relaxing neck deep in the pond back facing toward him. Before the teenager could even register what was happening, Steven was holding her in most secure and loving hold she ever received.

She was a bit nervous and embarrassed due to being in only her sporty undergarments and having scars from the recent healing.

That was until she felt the trembling, heard the apologetic and thankful whispering and felt his tears running down her face. It was too much not hold him back with BOTH her healed right arm and new PINK left arm and do the same.

“I almost lost you.”

“I’m here because of you.”

His grip tightened around her frame. “You could have died.”

“I know...i’m sorry.”

“You were so valorous”

She rubbed his back and gently ran her hands through his hair. “ I tried. I couldn’t let them down. Couldn’t let you down.”

“You never do. Why didn’t you call us?”

“You just had a crisis with Spinel. I wanted you to rest...Didn’t expect it to go south that bad. That and I really couldn’t anyway, they targeted communication.”

He moved his face to her shoulder, lips brushing her skin as he spoke. “I am getting you a communicator and a tracker, so i can always find you.”

Connie giggled in spite of her tears “Deal...I was so scared Steven.”

“Hard to tell with how fearless you seemed..You definitely cleaned up house, Berry.”

“They weren’t hard. Though they did get some licks off..Fast buggers. Is the camp OK? “

Steven kissed the top of her forehead, hearing the worry in her voice “ Yes, a little trashed but everyone is alive...though I had to resurrect the three who helped you.”

“Damn it.”

Steven could feel her shaking as her tears ran down. “They’re alive, not in the best of ways but they are alive..”

Connie could only nod to Stevens voice. It was better than nothing. ” I got a new arm, It seems."

“I see, it’s fluorescent and a bit illuminating. ”

“That it is...It feels..off and not-off. If you can understand where I’m going with this..”

“Nope..We’ll discover you new limb together. It fits you though.”

Connie chuckled before giving his temple a small kiss.“Yeah.."

“I...Went off on that gem mutant. Think I’ve might have gave the gems. nightmares.”

"It might have given every camper and counselor nightmares and traumas.”

“I’ll guard your dreams, Nini. Just say the word.”

“We’ll guard each other, both in the dream and in the waking world.. I refuse you to lose sleep over me.”

“I already do..Though it’s usually over things like about how much I adore you.”

“Sssttteven..that’s not fair saying something like that now “ Connie hid her face in his shoulder so he couldn’t see her heated face. Ignoring the feeling that she was now pressing upon him in her current state of undress.

Steven just held her tighter picking her up slightly as he did, basking in her touch, sound and smell. “ I love you Connie. And happy you’re alive to hear me say it So you better be prepared for me telling you everyday from now on..”

She lifted her head up off his shoulder and looked him adoringly before giving sweet and tender kiss which he returned. She placed her forehead to his, smiling that ever brilliant smile of hers. "I’m happy I can hear it.. I love you too Biscuit. You better prepare yourself because I love as hard as I fight. ”

“As do I Connie, as do I.”

Tarzan’s Margot Robbie on Why She’s No Damsel in Distress, 2016

When Margot Robbie popped up in The Big Short last year for a 60-second cameo—by definition, playing herself—to explain what “shorting” a bond means while drinking Dom Pérignon in the bathtub of a billionaire’s Malibu condo, I subconsciously shorted her. Here, it seemed, was that girl who invites you to stare and then tells you to fuck off if you stare for too long. The fact that just two years prior she so ferociously inhabited the role of the hottest gold digger in the history of cinema in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, permanently lodging herself in the collective male libido, served only to reinforce my concern that she might be some new breed of high-maintenance superpredator. Thankfully, the cameo turned out to be a clever little lie in a movie all about big fat ones. This was Margot Robbie playing her caricature—the retrograde Playboy fantasy in permanent soft-focus.

It comes as a surprise, then—a relief, even—to meet Robbie in April on the Santa Monica Pier and discover that she’s not remotely like the manipulative sex kittens she’s been so eerily good at portraying on the screen. It’s Robbie’s idea that we take a trapeze class together, and so here we are, smack dab in the middle of an amusement park over the water. Robbie, in yoga pants and a white tank top, her hair pulled up into a messy ponytail, goes entirely unrecognized, which has something to do with the fact that, dressed for a workout with no makeup, she looks like every third person you pass in Southern California—but prettier. She is smaller and more compact than I had imagined, and has the athletic mien of someone who played sports in high school, along with the graceful gait and natural poise of a woman who’s used to moving through the world on the balls of her feet like a dancer.

I assumed Robbie had taken up the trapeze for one of the very physically demanding roles she plays in two big studio movies coming out back-to-back this summer—Jane in The Legend of Tarzan, costarring Alexander Skarsgård and directed by David Yates, in July, followed by the cultishly beloved psychopath Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, based on a task force of characters from DC Comics and directed by David Ayer, which comes out in August and seems bound to turn her into a household name—but I had assumed wrong. When Robbie was growing up in Australia, her mother sent her off to circus school—she received her ��trapeze certificate” when she was eight. She hadn’t given it a thought in years, though, until she began having a recurring dream not long ago in which she was flying through the air, high above the net under the big top. “I couldn’t stop thinking about that stupid dream,” she says, and so she found this place and took a few classes. “I feel like I missed my calling.” She chalks her hands and gets ready to climb up to the platform.

One of our instructors, Kenna, a daffy redhead wearing comically large yellow sunglasses, remembers Robbie from her last visit. As Kenna is buckling us into our safety harnesses, she asks Robbie what part of Australia she’s from. “Gold Coast in Queensland,” says Robbie, her accent thickening at the mere mention of her homeland. “I watch a lot of really trashy TV,” says Kenna, “including Australia’s Next Top Model, and the girls from Gold Coast are definitely not respected by girls from Sydney and Melbourne.” Robbie laughs knowingly and says no, but because she has just slipped into full-on Australian-accent mode, it comes out as neeerrroh! “I had no idea I was living in a state that gets laughed at until I moved to Melbourne,” says Robbie, “and then someone was like, ‘Ohrrr, yar from Queensland, eh? You put “Eh?” on the end of your sentences because you’re all a bit slow.’ And I was like, ‘Is this a thing? That Queensland is the dumb state?’ It’s so embarrassing.”

At that, another instructor, CR, appears to teach us the finer points of trapeze. There are moments of weightlessness at the peak of each swing from the bar, which is when you want to change positions, or “throw the trick.” “As long as you make the change at the right time,” he says, “you hardly have to break a sweat. It’s all about timing.”

Robbie (precisely, elegantly) throws one trick after another—the set split, the set straddle, the penny roll—with what looks like little effort. “She’s disgustingly good at it,” says Kenna as we stand on the pier watching her above us, and I cannot help thinking that these exact skills apply to Robbie’s life down here on the ground: She has consistently displayed a knack for making her moves at exactly the right moment, no sweat. At seventeen, with very little acting experience to speak of—a few school plays, some commercials, a low-budget flick she describes as “barely even a student film”—she moved to Melbourne and landed a part on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, the longest-running drama in the country’s history, a gig she had for three years. In 2011—after working very hard with a dialect coach to perfect an American accent—she moved to Los Angeles and immediately got a part on the short-lived TV series Pan Am. A supporting role in Richard Curtis’s coming-of-age rom-com About Time followed, and then she was cast as Naomi—that minx from Bay Ridge—in The Wolf of Wall Street. It was a career-defining performance, one that left people agape: Who’s that?

As Jared Leto, her costar in Suicide Squad, puts it, “She took a role that other people would have had a very difficult time with and elevated it to something spectacular. To be able to stand alongside Leo [DiCaprio], one of the titans of the industry, and be there face-to-face, blow for blow, and not only hold her ground but really shine, was kind of a rare, explosive discovery. It reminded me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface.”

At first, Robbie wasn’t even sure she wanted to play such a shrewd ballbuster. “When I first read it, I thought, I have nothing in common with her. I hate her. It was a really tricky one to get my head around. But her motivation was ‘You guys are doing it—why shouldn’t I? It’s this man’s world, and I’m going to get mine.’ And I understand that.”

The things she was doing herself as far as stunts, you wouldn’t believe. There’s only a handful of actors who do that sort of work

David Ayer

Now, two years later, at 25, she’s the girl of the moment, on the cusp of a very big summer. The Legend of Tarzan, as directed by Yates, who brought us the best of the Harry Potter movies, is an A-movie reboot of a B-movie franchise, one that the filmmakers hope will lift the character up out of the swamp of kitsch and into the twenty-first century. When Warner Bros.—having kept a close eye on the dailies while Robbie was shooting Focus with Will Smith in late 2013—approached her about playing Jane, her first reaction was: Not for me. “There’s no way I was going to play the damsel in distress,” she says. But then she read the script. “It just felt very epic and big and magical in some way. I haven’t done a movie like that. The Harry Potter films could have been really cheesy, but David Yates made them into something dark and cool and real—plus it was shooting in London, and I, on a whim, had just signed a lease on a house there.” For Yates, “an unpretentiousness, a real pragmatism, was evident from the moment I met her. There’s something very true about her, and those qualities were very important for Jane—someone who’s open to experience the beauty of the world.”

Naturally, sooner or later, Tarzan meets Jane. “I met her in L.A. about a year before we shot the movie,” says Skarsgård, “just before The Wolf of Wall Streetcame out. She lived in this tiny studio apartment in Hollywood. We were supposed to just have coffee and talk about the project, but we spent the entire day together. I remember being blown away by how cool and down-to-earth she was. And then Wolf came out, and she went from relative obscurity to being the hottest actress in Hollywood.” When Tarzan finally started shooting in London, “she was living in a house with six other people,” says Skarsgård, “kind of a frat-house vibe, and on weekends she would go to Amsterdam and sleep in bunk beds in a youth hostel with Canadian backpackers, or to some music festival in Northern England and sleep in a tent. She’s not precious at all.”

The story of Suicide Squad, meanwhile, is that all of the bad guys in the superhero world who are locked up in prison are offered a chance to do some good—a suicide mission, if you will—to get their sentences reduced. Harley Quinn is both the shrink and the girlfriend of the Joker, played by Leto. “She doesn’t even have superpowers,” says Robbie. “She’s just a psychopath who runs around gleefully killing people—she finds joy in causing mayhem, which makes her weirdly endearing and fun to watch.”

The role, says Ayer, demands “a lot of heavy lifting for an actor. But she’s a tough girl, and she’s incredibly smart and mature beyond her years. She has ridiculous depth, and she’s never been coddled, so she’s very physically courageous. The things she was doing herself as far as stunts, you wouldn’t believe. There’s only a handful of actors who do that sort of work themselves.”

Robbie was filming the underappreciated Whiskey Tango Foxtrot with Tina Fey in New Mexico just before she went off to Toronto to shoot Suicide Squad. “She had a personal trainer literally following her around the set so she could be ready for Suicide Squad,” says Fey. “She’s very strong. There’s a scene in Whiskey Tango where she punches me and says, ‘We’re going out tonight!’ I had this huge bruise on my arm for days.” Fey is crazy about Robbie. “She doesn’t take herself too seriously,” she says. “And she has that soap-opera background, which I think is great. Those people just make a choice and don’t overthink it. They don’t think that acting cures world hunger in and of itself.”

When our trapeze class comes to an end, we find Robbie’s driver. As we head back to her hotel in West Hollywood, her phone rings. It’s Robbie’s boyfriend of two years, Tom Ackerley, the assistant director she met in 2013 on the set of the World War II drama Suite Française. “Hi, darling,” she says into the phone. “Just mastered a new trick. . . . Yes, I’m very chuffed with myself.” (Later, when I ask about Ackerley—whom she describes as “the best-looking guy in London”—she says, “I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.”)

Ackerley is actually calling to talk business: He and Robbie—along with Ackerley’s friend Josey McNamara, who is also an AD, and Robbie’s childhood best friend, Sophia Kerr—started a production company, LuckyChap, a year ago. The four of them all live together in that house in London and are planning to move to Los Angeles later this year. They have already acquired five projects, one of which is the script for I, Tonya, the highly anticipated Tonya Harding biopic that Robbie will star in. (Robbie is a decent skater—she played on an amateur ice-hockey team when she moved to New York City in 2011 to shoot Pan Am.) Their first film, Terminal, a dystopian noir thriller, has just started shooting in Hungary. Robbie plays a waitress whose story line ties all the others together. “We chose the most challenging indie film imaginable—it’s not commercially viable from a financier’s point of view,” says Robbie. “It’s shaving years off my life. It’s really hard work, but so rewarding and much more empowering than just acting. I was starting to feel like a little pawn getting moved around the board: Go here! Do that! Be her!” “This is a very smart thing for her to do,” says Fey, “because otherwise, as a piece of casting, she’s always going to have someone saying, ‘You look amazing—but we’d love for you to weigh less.’ Already at 25 she’s like, You know what? I’m going to opt out of that fuckery and be on my front foot with my career.”

It’s early evening when we finally arrive at Robbie’s hotel. We walk past the bar, and bump into Sandy Powell, the legendary costume designer, who’s having a drink with a friend. As it happens, Powell did the costumes for The Wolf of Wall Street, and Robbie tells me that most of those tight, come-hither getups she wore were Powell’s actual clothes from the nineties. “I would say, ‘Where did you get that?’ and she would say, ‘It’s mine. I used to wear it all the time.’ ”

We pass the swimming pool, and there’s not a person in sight. “I so badly want to go for a swim,” she says. “Do you mind if I jump in the pool?” She runs off to her suite while I make myself at home on a chaise and order a drink. When she reappears, she’s wearing a white one-piece bathing suit with a vaguely suggestive cartoonish illustration of a half-peeled banana emblazoned on the front, and short-short denim cutoffs. She seems blissfully unaware that the suit looks like something that, say, Pamela Anderson would have worn in the nineties. This reminds me of something Cara Delevingne—who plays Enchantress in Suicide Squad—told me about Robbie. “I was having a conversation with her the other night at the MTV Movie Awards,” Delevingne said. “In this world of celebrity and Hollywood, so many people act like they’re being watched all the time—but Margot doesn’t act like that at all. She’s constantly dancing like no one’s watching.”

The whole fake-it-till-you-make-it thing has really worked out for me. You can apply that to anything—you just have to hustle

Margot Robbie

She peels off her Daisy Dukes and knifes into the water. At one point, she submerges herself just to the bottom of her nose. Suddenly, with her hair slicked back, I realize who she reminds me of: Margaux Hemingway, in a famous shoot from the seventies by Douglas Kirkland. Robbie gets out of the pool and lies down on the chaise next to me. I mention the resemblance, and she Googles her. “Wow,” she says. “What a stunner.”

Owing mostly to her surf-tastic teenage years, Robbie seems to prize a kind of athletic comfort above all else (though she does love the red carpet—“I think I enjoy the getting ready part more than the actual event, to be honest”). But her penchant for dressing down is also a tactical measure. Here at the hotel, as at the pier earlier, she goes completely unnoticed. “If I dress like this, people don’t look twice. It’s as soon as I put on makeup and a dress and have my hair done—I can’t get ten meters without being recognized.”

I bring up the various spellings of her name—Margaux, Margo, Margot. “I always said, ‘Mom—there was a really cool way of spelling my name, and you picked the boring way that gets everyone confused. They forget the T or call me Mar-got,’ ” she says, laughing. (Her childhood nickname was Maggot.) “Now everyone’s finally spelling my name right—that’s how I knew I’d made it.”

Robbie was raised with her three siblings by a single mother, Sarie Kessler, a physiotherapist, in a very small house (her parents divorced when she was young). “I adore my mother,” says Robbie. “She’s the most pure-hearted, divine human being.” We get to talking about the similarities in our childhoods: lots of kids, raised in a house with only one bathroom, everyone working to help make ends meet—the kind of setting that can scald one’s heart with ambition. “I went to a school where all of my friends were very well-off,” she says, “and I went to their houses a lot, and so I knew what it looked like to be rich but I didn’t have it, so I was like: OK—I know exactly what I want.” She worked several odd jobs—tending bar, making sandwiches, selling surfboards—which gave her a lot of confidence at a young age. “The whole fake-it-till-you-make-it thing has really worked out for me. The more times you do that, the more you realize that no one really knows what they’re doing; everyone’s kind of figuring it out or pretending they know until they do know. And you can apply that to anything—you just have to hustle.”

Robbie’s hustle—her resourcefulness, mixed with ambition and a little naïveté—has defined her career since before it even started. “I was watching TV one day—maybe I was fifteen,” she says. “There was a girl my age doing a scene, and she said her line, and it was just not that good. And I remember thinking, I could have done it better. And then I thought, Well, why is she doing it? Why isn’t it me?”

To a one, every person I spoke to about Robbie pointed out two things: her willingness to try anything and her uncanny ability to be good at everything. A couple of years ago, when there were still eight people living in that house in London, Robbie made a rule: No one can move in unless they get the house tattoo. So they found an artist named Pedro with a shop nearby, and one day, while Pedro was tattooing Ackerley, Robbie begged to have a go at it. “I have a bit of a morbid fascination with needles,” she says. “There’ve been a few instances when I’ve given piercings.” Pedro eventually handed over the gun, Ackerley relented, and, well, she got hooked. As a wrap gift after Tarzan, Sophia—her best friend/housemate/business partner—bought her a tattoo gun on eBay, and soon, between scenes while shooting Suicide Squad, says Robbie, “people would come into my trailer: ‘Hey, Margs—can I get a tattoo?’ ‘Sure—sit on down!’ ” She even gave Delevingne something she dubbed “toemojis”—five emoji faces on the bottoms of her toes. “And then we all decided to get Squad tattoos, David Ayer included,” says Robbie. Now she travels with her tattoo kit everywhere she goes.

We head up to her hotel suite, where Sophia is hard at work on LuckyChap, and before long Robbie has set up her tattoo emporium on the dining-room table. The Rolling Stones are blaring from a laptop, and she’s giving me my very first tattoo. We had discussed it earlier—in theory—and settled on the Roman numeral five (V) because my birthday is May 5 and the V stands for my last name. And, well, why not—anything for a story, no? She sketched out a few ideas in my notebook, and then on my arm, and then, after few false starts, in a matter of minutes, it’s done. I love it, I say. “I’m so happy,” she says. Suddenly, Sophia shouts, “Oh, my God! Look at the moon!” and we both jump up and join her at the sliding glass doors. The three of us stare in silence for a moment at the biggest, brightest, orange-est moon any of us have ever seen. And then Margot Robbie, whose own star is burning awfully bright right now, says, “The moon is glistening. Literally. We’re listening to the Rolling Stones. And I just gave you a tattoo. So perfectly Hollywood!”
