Disney kid siblings

Peter pan Liddell and Alice Pleasance Liddell

Peter PAN and Alice in my version are based off of Come away version where they are siblings.If you watch the movie you might understand more, But in my a u it's also combined with a disney version, Where are they are Twins who after having a lot of adventures in neverland in wonderland start a new adventure at Auradon prep, But technically speaking they're many years old , However, they are about 13. No, because time runs different in wonderland and neverland

Alice- Alice is a thirteen year old adventurous, And curious Girl, Who found the secret world of wonderland, But in the aftermath when the queen of hearts Had chased her out, Alice Went back to Her world of england, But became bored, Of the same old same old especially now that she was living with her sister, So alice decided to go back to wonderland, and live there permanently. It was a tough decision having to leave her family.But in the end she She decided it was for the best, Since her family was in financial trouble and if she left, maybe it would give them More of a boost to get So thus she'd be got her new life in wonderland, However there was one thing she missed most of all and that was her older twin brother peter pan, Whom she was inseparable with.

Peter pan- Peter pan, Was always a playful person, However there came a time When He lost His older brother, Whom he was playing with and accidentally made him fall into the water causing him to drown and get electrocuted by an Unexpected storm In the water. After that day peter pan was never the same and tried to act more grown up, As a way to mask his pain. Alice Was quite side about her brother's death, But was even more worried for peter pan, Who is starting to become emotionless, But one day will peter pan was at the markets, He came a Cross A flying Whisp, That led him into the forest, And in the forest the wisp turned into a Female shape and introduce yourself as tinkerbell peter pan's, She said that she could bring him away from all The drama and problems going on with him at home, If he took her hand and followed her to a place called neverland, Where time never moved and you could stay young forever. Peter pan was hesitant about this, But then remembering All that was going on With his family being in debt, His brother dead, And some of their own family members , turning against his parents, And some of their own family members, turning against his parents He decided it was for the best that he leaves, So that may be his family can start afresh, So he agreed and flew off with Tinkerbell to neverland, And as the years passed by , peter pan kept bringing, Much wealth back to his family from neverland, So that they would never be poor, The only thing he regretted was never saying goodbye to his Twin sister Alice.

Many years had passed and alice and Peter PAN's parents had long passed Leaving leaving their older sister lorena to be the new owner of the house, She grew old and time as well with Yvonne. Alice and Peter's younger brother max's becoming adult Before them, But fast-forwarding to 2021 Alice, Having explored Almost all of wonderland, Was curious if she was Curious if she was able to go back to her home of london, And decided To crawl out of the rabbit hole To see what was happening above. When she crawled out The Old Neighborly House where she lived was replaced with a beautiful mansion, She couldn't even believe it herself and then she heard from the sky A familiar sound. It was Peter PAN Calling to her, And thus the twins were reunited, Two years had passed The 2 Are now attending Arudon prep with their significant others.

Winifred darling is the niece of Anita darling, based off of the 2021 Cruella movie, And is in no way related to Wendy darling Who long passed away. Winifred is now the new love interest of Peter PAN, With her siblings, always following her on adventures through neverland.

Amandla Darling, Is the oldest Sibling, and Was once, A girl in wonderland herself, Like alice but in a different part, the looking glass, And she is also the future storyteller Of Alice and Peter pan's stories.

Winifred darling Is the second oldest And is based off of wendy darling a bit, But is more nerdy, And as a mixture of nurturing, And feminine Strength, And is willing to fight any pirates, Or be a big sister figure to any lost boy. She is Very close with her younger brother Kingston, But it's also enemies with him Seeing him as a intellectual rival with her in school, And the two often fights over who's smarter.

Kingston is the oldest boy and the third born, And just like his older sister is a huge nerd, But prides itself on it and see himself as the smartest in the family, Which Always gets under his sister skin, Matter of fact he mostly does it for the entertainment about her reactions, However as siblings they are still very close. People sometimes think he's a bit cowardly But in reality he can be brave and will stand up to Evan The scariest pirates like captain hook, Matter of fact, the only thing he and his sister are afraid of is their younger brother mkhosini Who, Let's just say Acts like the evil child in the family He's also a bit shy around tiger Lily's sister katawasisiw Whom he saved one time When she was kidnapped by captain hook, And saved her from nearly getting her head cut off by A pirates, In return she gave him a big kiss like the scene in the peter pan movie of 2003, And he started developing feelings for her and her intern, And the two do get along pretty well, And like to solve mysteries in the book of neverland which was a gift from the indigenous tribe of neverland given to Kingston That holds all the secrets and mysteries and powerful forceshe didn't within never land, Something that would be quite useful to captain hook who constantly tries to steal it.

mkhosini Is the last born, Baby brother of the family, A k a the evil child, And he takes this job with pride. He isn't necessarily manipulative, Or a type of sibling who blackmails his older siblings, But instead will physically force them to do things that he's really passionate about, And this is kind of help the family, But it's also made win afraid and kingston Fear him the most because, Of what he's Capable of doing Even in the dark, And He uses Two his advantage, His older siblings are Looking After him, Using his Strategies sort of butts to make them Fear him so much that they can't even tell him no, But he's not all Evil, He does look up to Peter PAN As an older brother figure which Kind of Makes kingston jealous, But also slightly relieved to that his brother is off his back, But also scared for peter pan's sake, And at the end of the day mkhosini It's just a very energetic Person, With a bit of a violent streak with his siblings, But he still love them.

Week 6: Favorite WLW movies / shows

15-week Sapphic challenge

PS: I didn’t include shows or movies that have sapphics as side characters or side storylines with little screentime

Shows

Orange Is The New Black (2013-2019)

Torrent :)

Not only the best WLW show, but it’s one of the best shows of all genre and all time. I mean, they are the reason that Netflix became successful (Ungrateful MFs).  If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re missing a lot, i swear. I’m not exaggerating when i say this show changed me and made me grow as a person. 

A League Of Their Own (2022-)

Prime Video

It’s character complexities, queer majority, diversity, intersectional stories, heart and sense of humor reminds me a lot of Orange is the new black so if you like the latter, watch this and vise versa. + Women in sports, duh! 

The Sex Lives Of College Girls (2021-)

HBO Max

Mean (but not really a bad person u know) lesbian lead, let’s go! This show is f*cking hilarious like you won’t just love the show for the lesbian representation, but all of the leads! It’s more than its title! 

Dickinson (2019-2021)

Apple TV

Haven’t finished it yet, but it’s already on my top 5. Not every show can pull off a modern interpretation of period pieces. And thank you, Apple TV for letting the show wrap up in the middle of lesbian cancellations. Thank you for the bare minimum. 

Gentlemen Jack (2019-2022)

HBO

Haven’t watched the show yet, but I KNOW, i know it would be one of my favorites. I love badass lesbian historical figures especially when they are gender-nonconforming

Movies

But I’m a Cheerleader (1999)

Hulu

Classic. Historical. I think this is the 1st lesbian movie i’ve watched after i came out? It also helped me became more aware of my compulsory heterosexuality. 

Ang Huling Cha-Cha ni Anita / Anita’s Last Cha-Cha (2013)

Juanflix (DM me if you’re outside Philippines)

Unfortunately, only few people know about this movie, but it’s really one of the best WLW movies in the Philippines AND in the world. And just so you know, the older woman and the girl didn’t have any weird romantic or sexual relationship, this is just all about the lesbian girl’s first childhood crush. A very wholesome story! 

Rafiki (2019)

Hulu 

This is not hyped enough and we all know the reason why. :) Very beautiful film with amazing cinematography, chemistry and soundtrack. It’s banned in Kenya so make sure to support this movie. 

TRIGGER WARNING: Blatant and violent Homophobia scene near the end

NECESSARY SPOILER: It has a good ending so don’t worry

Saving Face (2004)

Prime Video or Apple TV 

Cutest WLW movie ever! It felt very warm the whole time i’m watching it. Another Sapphic classic and Lesbian 101 for baby gays. 

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

Hulu 

A masterpiece and a great take on Female gaze. Art and Lesbianism really are partners. 

[misspickman]

cissie !!

Sexuality Headcanon: thats a lesbian babyy

Gender Headcanon: generally i think of her as nonbinary but tbh any flavor of genderqueer. u cant tell me someone who hates their name and went by different names is cis

A ship I have with said character: cissiecassie obvs but also anitacissie, i mean the story writes itself

A BROTP I have with said character: i love her and bart soo much but also cissie and kon have a special place in my heart. in general the entirety of young justice

A NOTP I have with said character: recently i saw a couple of tim/cissie fics around and i guess theres not anything Wrong with this but it feels wrong, to me. theyre good friends but like romantically?? i cant see it

A random headcanon: re her being nonbinary i think of cissies gender as one of those 'i need to get more masc so i can be more fem' posts. its real to me. maybe it starts out of spite or just the desire to see what she could have been like without her moms influence and then she lands somewhere in the middle. a lot of what we see of her in yj98 gives more prep vibes but i like to think of her as more of a jock, in a more casual sense (i mean this about fashion specifically)

General Opinion over said character: her overall arc in yj98 is one of my fav parts of that comic, really enjoy how despite quitting the team shes still prevalent and a part of the group ignoring tt03, and idk shes just a very well-rounded character? her one sided rivalry with anita, how quickly she and cassie become besties but how shes still ready to call her out on her bullshit, the way shes allowed to set up boundaries and refuse to come back to the team and have that decision be respected mostly, i didnt expect all that to be done in a satisfying way but imo it was! would love to have her back as yj's civilian friend who they keep trying to not so subtly include in various ways

[dorkousloris]

thinking about anita having to go through the stuff i have to relearn myself through them i- so prior to this, i was always see myself as simply nonbinary / enby, and that's it. i was comfortable in that and then i am re-learning myself once more-

back in 2019-2020, i designed anita to kiss a favourite RO- didn't have any solid ideas for them, they were there for me to draw my favourite ship i still came back to draw today. but they're still enby, but that's it- a soft but very sensitive OC that wears binders occasionally and was much more softer that i look back and goes 'huh, oh i forgot u were like that-'

2020-2022? top scars and short hair for neets is me wanting it, so drawing them in that had allow me to develop them more- from that soft little guy to still a little guy, but this time, who is tired, annoyed, and can be soft but only with close friends and people they care- i have the most fun drawing them with these new revelations and it also lowkey make me feel happy to simply draw them with top scars, and in that progress, it fits them.

and last year to this year, it truly fits them when i recently embraced being transmasc so was neets. they just tug my sleeve and ask me that they want to go on T. so they did, and i am. once again re-learning myself more. its... a someday dream for me. for now i enjoy developing them in this new path once more.

and now, they're not that soft baby i used to call them, they're a confident little shit- still tired, still annoyed at peoples bullshit, but most of all, they're quiet and thoughtful and. more angrier but also more grumpy, and still soft- but for people they love and cares for.

and well, still a little guy but more developed this time around.

[thatbanditqueen]

Here to leave my review on the long awaited Chapter 3 (its okay we forgive you) -

FIRST OF ALL, Ida and Saul are my spirit animals and favorite characters seriously. They so help in keeping the story light hearted and comedic even when Elvis is making me wanna slap him on behalf of Becky! It was relatable and hilarious when Saul was the last one to find out who Elvis was the men in my family are exactly the same. Ida is Captain of the Becky Butt x Elvis ship please she was all for her niece getting some under her roof, we love a supportive queen. And Elvis is a ridiculously charming man - but ridiculous nonetheless. Poor Jerry having to drive them down there, look for a nonexistent lost ring and then give up his comfort all so Elvis could get some. And Becky Butt, baby, my heart is breaking for you already because yes I want them to be happy but I can only imagine how much heartache is to come before Elvis opens his damn eyes!!! That man can be so stubborn. Also, the conversation they had, the way Elvis is always trying to deflect and distract and go on the offensive it gave me Anita phone call vibes 101 I lived for it. Elvis winning over Ruth so quickly, why am I not surprised? The man is a child himself. But with time I know he’s gonna be the best step daddy. Ruth picking up the Becky Butt moniker - LMAO. That names gonna stick and I’m 100% for it. Becky’s such a good mom, always putting her daughter first and making sure she’s comfortable/okay. She’s got a child streak in her that I think pulls Elvis in because he does as well but she has a maturity he never mastered in my opinion due to everyone in his life bending to his every whim. And can I please tell you how grateful that I am that you really lean in to the gorgeous physicality that was Big Daddy. Talking about his stomach, about his largeness, all of it, so many fics hardly allude to it meanwhile I want to suffocate underneath that man. Becky is living my dream. Thanks for updating, what a delightful read it was 💗

Dear Bri,

Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is so very reaffirming to hear what you think! Ida and Saul are so fun to write, I can hear their voices in my head, they are sort of a composite of different family members/friends i grew up with. For some reason, a lot of older women in my life, including my grandmother, were absolute sex instigators. My granny once told me, with all seriousness, that all i needed to do to solve a relationship issue with my partner at the time was just to have sex and forget about the whole fight.... hahaha. SO, yes, Becky may have gotten knocked up young, but she has never been as carefree or in tune with her sensuality as Ida, and Ida wants to really make that happen for her :) I don't know, I could just see Elvis pulling something like this with Jerry, I see it as part of his ego/inferiority duality, like he's somewhat drunk the koolaid that he's some sort of really cool rock star, but also, if he was really confident, he'd just tell people what was really going on, ughh, he was such a cute, clueless dork/ total dick in so many delectable ways, I really enjoy playing with him and writing this fic. And I love love LOVE BDE's physicality, though I will be the first to admit that @eliseinmemphis's posts about worshiping big daddy elvis were fundamental to my own burgeoning fixation with this era Elvis. I need him to crush me. I need to play with his tummy and the waddle under his jowls. Becky is all of us.... and I think her earthy, latent sensual earth mother nature finds BDE attractive and is drawn to him both as a lover, and as wounded boy she wants to nurture.... or will be moreso when/if he gets his head out of his ass and gets over himself enough.

Thanks again for taking the time to give me this feedback!!!! I know it was hard to wait for this chapter, although, in my defense, the wait between ch 1 and ch 2 was a lot longer, life is a little more settled and i think it shouldn't be more than two weeks or so until I post ch 4. I already have somewhat of an outline/set of ideas. But I hate giving a date, because I always seem to miss any deadline I set for myself, and then I publish as soon as I finish, when I really should let things sit and do a proper proofreading job. But don't be afraid to give me a nudge, I've finished chapters because someone asked for it and it motivates me.

all my love,

norAHHHH

v me seeing your message :)

the cult hypnosis episode liveblog

(side note I can't believe they didn't have dever & huertas-- heck I would have loved the OTHER dever to do an audio commentary. The castle's dad one had the audio instead which, like, valid ig.) Anyway I'm on a new dvd now, which is why I am complaining about the lack of (my preferred) bonus features.

Not QUITE the same mess lol

KABOOM I loove alexis sm <3 <3

Oof I'm quitting my job to go to school I can't imagine having a job & a non-job & a tutoring gig & paying a lease & holy crap I am so privileged

Yay calling him Sito.

were not was

Jane: He didn’t have to. Good looking guy, no bags, checking in for one night?

that's a flip phone... Plenty of people have their own website. too bad the guy doesn't have imbd tho

random lady yelling.

Love esposito's outfit! so chill!

You never get a confession this early in an ep. u KNOW smth's going to go down. Is there going to be another one really fast like this where they solve it hella fast & after the third murder with an instant confession they get suspicious?

Ah she has an alibi! Is she confessing to cover for someone else?

Love the doodle. Maybe it was a code to whoever is going to read her confession I love the flashbacks. While I'm here, the door opened on the left, attached on the right. I don't think it was like that in the crime scene. wdym you don't think so?

someone is making her confess to their crime that's why this stuff is happening.

Yeah that's how addiction is alright.

I loooove how she doesn't remember! Anita Miller: No, from me!

RC: What about forensics? Did CSU come up with anything? JE: Yeah, a hotel room in New York City? (he shudders) They found all kinds of fun stuff. (not clipping)

Clipping the theory part. unless there was a tall/cext to the phone you don't have!

Doc holloway's back!!!!

Ryan & me: Two weeks? Wait a minute, that’s how long Anita says she’s been feeling blurry.

RC: As much as I love a good mystery, a small part is hoping he can give us some clarity on what the hell is going on.

idk why I find the "ask for help" poster with the guy crying in their hands so humerous. Maybe bc it reminds me of the cotton eyed joe meme I made. Me: *just commit autosurgery trying to cut off my own breast* My surgical tape: *won't stick* Me: *crying* my adhd: IF IT WEREN'T FOR COTTON EYED JOE I'D BE MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO

Love background artists.

I need details.

I love love love the way it goes with the filming. POV filming. (markiplier moments, girl hand, man hand, we also need a black guy. Like that aone scene where you have three hands at some point bc you're picking up the artifact, swapping the teddy bear, holding his nose so he doesn't sneeze, & every single movement is a different person's hand. for Diversity. We need a left-handed person now tho.

Because he did what to you? aiy dee kay. Love the music sm KB, explaining like bonvolio: Yeah, you and Anita Miller are working together on this. You’re either covering for each other or you’re covering for someone else out there.

love how there are two interrogation rooms. She's very adamant that she did this. Why not take the out? "So I didn't kill him? I'm hella confused after all..."

Get doc holloway back here. RC: What if their lives intersect, just not in such a literal sense? Me, just participating in the fictional canadian character poll: ramona flowers? powers? renata? Hold on... scott pilgrim dreams is what I'm saying.

RC: (dryly) Really? Alternate universe? That’s how little you think of me? RC in a future episode: *goes to an au where lanie is preggo & rysposito is canon. unless that was just a fanfic i read...)

I love her ring KB: (off is look) I’m sorry, it’s just, you got excited. It’s kind of cute. RC: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know how I like the weird stuff. Me: SEASON ONE

WHAT'S nothing? on your phone there?

I LOVE this kid, this absolute child. radar oreilly vibes off him, esp with castle's psychic link theoryu.

OUTSTANDING! LOVE THE WORDS! consistency bc of slaughter! "I need to confess!" 'take a number'

"She remembers bc she thought it looked suspicious" that's the only reason someone WOULD remember! & the only reason they'd take a pic.

a big bald man!

It's just a doodle. It is a celtic knot holy trinity sign, no? the van you've been disoriented. How long have you had that symbol in your head? KB: this is important! Dwight: *I killed a guy but fuck ok bestie*

Assertiveness training I love this tranny sm. He needs to get on testosterone.

Sometimes THEY scrub footage, sometimes it's the detectives...

her phone again. what is even going on with that?

I love it. love the way she picks up her jacket, the boys, she's coming back to work this late at night in an hour... I love these folks this family their dynamics their movements & body language I thouht it was jim not alexis. Peter's cafe/bistro

Her face. she is rolling her eyes & I love alexis & I love her bangs & I love alexis & the alexis-kate relationship kjsdflkjkldjfsd It IS pride! Ooh music!!

Love those two cops smiling in the elevator. IT implies that there was a conversation in there that we missed.

Me: native Esposito: also technically native EHI: *kills ppl in their "sweat lodge initiation"*

lmao SO culty he talks so slow. Need to speed this up. good gravy. Ooh I only just noticed her eyeliner. love it.

this place reminds me of japan. Why is he expecting? Oh maybe bc he killed the guy! ooOOooh! SHUT THE DOOR SHUT THE DOOR BY WHICH I MEAN NO DON'T SHUT THE DOOR YOU'RE GOING TO BE TRAPPED THIS IS MY PARANOIA KICKING IN.

Love the art of himself on the walls. Where is that? Sweden? years????

Bauer: I’m struck by the level of your hostility, Detective. It’s not healthy. RC: You know what I’m struck by is your total lack of curiosity as to why a homicide detective is asking about your employee. "little group" THOUSANDS of members across the globe! RC: Wow. That’s – amazing, how you would just know what off the top of your head. Bauer: I make a point of meeting every member of my EHI family. The people you mentioned are not among them. Me: thousands of members & you have met every one sure but u remember every one?

Bauer: *looks to the side offscreen* RC: *looks to the side too* *realizes* *rolls his eyes up* Me: I do the same thing when my brothers are standing behind me irl & annoying me so I whip around to face them...in minecraft

btw what is that glass thing on there?

grande poobah??? his what???

RC: So all three of our confessors have had problems in their lives. Alcoholism, anger management, assertiveness issues, all things that they could have gone to EHI to treat.

that's true! RC: Wipe memories. Think about it. The fogginess, the confusion over the last two weeks? KR: So you’re saying that a glorified self-help group can erase memories? How? Doc H: With drugs.

Me: *seen the s7 premier* Memories actually change all the time. Outstanding! Love the words! KR: Castle, do you have any idea how insane that sounds? I would clip that but meh RC: Just not in person. Me: Not your psychic theory again!

"Ok he did NOT flirt with me" (why does the woman's vers need to be flirty tho? /gen q for EHS or w/e their name was)

Just letting them continue to argue lol

KB: Yes, a genius at annoying me. (not clipping) RC: Yes, a genius at annoying me. KB: (aside) I’m starting to feel the urge.

the door opens the wrong way THE DOOR OPENS THE WRONG WAY THEY MENTIONED IT RIGHT AFTER MEEEE (tho I have seen it too) wait all these rooms have the same painting? srs?

the way ryan says "su'm" instead of something, I looove it. kinda hate it tho.

CSU: Detective, I traced the signal from Bauer’s video conference with Beckett. JE: So where in Stockholm is he? CSU: That’s the thing. The signal was routed through Stockholm, but it looks like it originated from a local IP address. JE: Local, as in Manhattan? CSU: As in inside this building.

Love esposito's giant coats & layers & stuff.

that hand is slim, but pretty masculine. He smiles but idk if it is flirtatious. None of the suspects said that the bathroom door was open. Why do they know his name tho? Two versions, one for women & another for men? You don't have one for left-handed ppl or someone who maybe can't use or doesn't have their right hand, for Black ppl, for any poc, for ppl who are women but don't want to smile flirtatiously with justin, for fat ppl...

Someone from the crew, yeah you do need a bunch more ppl than just justin, the suspects, & the head of ehi.

At least she pronounced her T. Oof the music. it's so good.

Aw dwight never got to confess slkdjfslkdfjl these three have become friends & I love it sm. Friendship forged in a situation like this.

KB: It’s okay, Castle. You know I like the weird ones. Me: YES YES SJDLFSJKDFLSJDKLFJDS THIS IS THE SERIES

KB: (slyly) How do you know what I do to you when you’re sleeping?

Alexis!!!

crazy to me that everyone unanimously decided to go against track record. like it makes the whole thing shocking but also Not

good for kahanna but i think this is gonna be the straw that breaks the camel's back and she's gonna go home. granted she DID do okay in the trailer challenge but i think that's a one time thing

what up my name's lala i'm 32 and i never fucking learned how to count B)

LIL POUNDCAKE. OH MY GOD OHHHH MY GOD STOP IT

SHES BAAAACK

imma foxx, anita klew and ura dragg. they really went for low hanging fruit LMAO

wait im so confused. why are there multiple lil poundcakes?? why does the position of her arms and hands keep changing between shots?? huh

OMG THE UNCENSORED FOOTAGE!!!!!

me looking at the replica lil poundcakes like "YOU WILL NEVER BE HER"

hypothetically if this lost all stars season actually happened ten years ago as jessica's character said, it would actually fit into the timeline because as1 was in 2012, as2 was in 2016 and this "lost season" would have been in 2013. this could have been the original as2 and then lil poundcakes disappearance caused the hiatus...... 🤔

ok wait?!?! kahannas actually not doing half bad <:DDD

hi

INT. COFFEE SHOP – DAY

ANITA How’s it going?

NICK Just got back from an audition at Champion Studios.how about you

ANITA Oh, I was teaching at the dance studio.

Mind if I borrow your hat? I could use it for the musical im working .

nick Of course! what is it about

ANITA I’m working on the storyline for the musical. It follows an actor wrestling with her identity and relationships while traveling the world.

ANITA Isn’t it amazing how music and dance work together?

NICK Yeah, they just flow, like they’re speaking the same language.

NICK Or adds a whole new layer.

anita we should do something

nick like

anita shoot a reel

nick here?

anita come on

abita lets check the footage nick it looks great

ANITA I usually at Champion Studios on Sundays…

NICK Let me know if you ever need an extra hand. INT. REHEARSAL SPACE – DAY

Anita is rehearsing a song from her musical, pouring emotion into each note.

ANITA (singing) "I’m lost in the silence, searching for words to say…"

She pauses, breaking character. Nick enters and claps.

NICK That’s beautiful. I love it.

ANITA Hey, what are you doing here?

NICK I just wanted to check in—you mentioned you'd be rehearsing.

ANITA I’m working on my song, but I’m stuck on the chorus.

NICK It sounds great. What’s the theme?

ANITA Finding hope in tough times.

NICK How about, "When the world’s crashing down, we’ll rise up, we’ll fight…"

ANITA (nodding, excited) Are you a songwriter too?

NICK (smiling) "We’ll chase away the darkness, with our love shining bright…"

ANITA "And together we’ll conquer, we’ll soar to new heights…"

They share a warm smile.

NICK How’d you get into all this?

ANITA (looking at an old photo) Into…? Oh — my aunt was an actress in a traveling theater company.

Anita’s eyes soften, lost in memory.

ANITA There was this little library across the street from my house in Boulder City, Nevada. Every house looked exactly the same. I was ten and already needed to get out. My aunt flew into town one day and showed me the library’s old-movie section. We spent the entire day watching classic films—Bringing Up Baby, Notorious, Casablanca.

(slight beat) I never knew the world was so big.

(smiling, nostalgic) I started putting on plays in my garage. I'd write the scripts, print programs, and she’d give me props from wherever she’d just been—New York, London, Paris.

anita its a two person musical i woule like u play a role

nick sure

anita let me send u the script

nick sure

INT. NICK'S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Nick sits on his unmade bed, reading Anita’s script. He hums, trying to find a tune, occasionally checking his phone, looking slightly anxious.

INT. ANITA'S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Anita answers her phone.

ANITA Hey, how's it going?

NICK Hey, Anita! I’m good, just reading your script. How about you?

ANITA Have you checked out Act 2?

NICK Yeah, it looks good. How about adding a few lines in Hindi when the lead meets locals in India? It could add emotional depth.

ANITA Okay, what do you have in mind?

NICK (in Hindi) "Hamare dilon ki awaaz hai jo humein ek doosre se jodti hai." (It’s the voice of our hearts that connects us.)

ANITA (smiling) That’s beautiful.

NICK Let’s meet tomorrow for coffee.

ANITA Sounds good.

NICK Talk to you tomorrow. Bye! INT. STUDIO SPACE – DAY

Anita and Nick sit at a desk, working on scripts, making final adjustments. The atmosphere is calm.

NICK As I was saying on the phone—have you thought about adding more foreign language into your script?

ANITA But I don’t know how to write in another language.

Nick smirks and leans in.

NICK I can help with that.

He clears his throat and speaks in Hindi.

NICK (in Hindi) "Mera naam Nick hai. Main is pariyojana par aapke saath kaam karne ke liye bahut khush hoon. Aap mere liye prerana srot hain." (My name is Nick. I am very happy to be working with you on this project. You are an inspiration to me.)

ANITA I don’t understand, but that sounds great!

NICK It means "My name is Nick. I am very happy to be working with you on this project. You are an inspiration to me." let me rent out studio space.

EXT. NYC – DAY

Anita and Nick rehearse a scene together.

ANITA A producer wants to back our musical. We have a week to finish it. This is our chance.

NICK I know, but we can’t rush. Let’s get Act 2 right.

ANITA I was thinking about the Hindi dialogue you added. It’s working well.

NICK Glad you like it. Let’s add more moments like that.

ANITA I’ve been practicing some Hindi. Want to hear?

NICK Sure!

ANITA (in Hindi) Main hoon Anita.

Nick claps, impressed.

NICK That was great! Your pronunciation is spot on.

NICK Let’s rehearse the opening song of the musical.

ANITA (singing, with feeling) "In the shadows, where I’ve been so long, I’m searching for a place where I belong… But deep inside, I feel a spark, A way to chase away the dark…"

Nick steps closer, joining in with his verse.

NICK (singing, encouraging) "I’ve walked through nights with no end in sight, But I’m holding on, I’ll find the light… We’ve got the strength, we’ve got the will, Together, we can climb this hill…"

ANITA (singing, harmonizing with Nick) "We’ll rise above, we’ll break these chains, And leave behind all the pain… In the light, we’ll stand so tall, And in the end, we’ll have it all…"

NICK That’s good. Let me think about some ideas, and we can connect tomorrow.

INT. NYC STUDIO - DAY, SCENE 7

Nick and Anita are in the middle of a discussion. Nick shares his thoughts, attempting to convey his ideas.

NICK I’ve got some ideas—like props, LED screens—really make a splash.

ANITA This show doesn’t need all that. It’s about the story.

NICK But it needs to stand out. You’re too focused on keeping it simple.

ANITA (raising her voice) It’s about staying true to the story, not making a splash.

NICK I’m just trying to bring something fresh. Maybe you’re too stuck on your vision.

ANITA (voice trembling) This project is personal. It feels like you’re just here for yourself.

NICK (shouting) Maybe I am! If that’s a problem, maybe we’re not on the same page.

ANITA Maybe we’re not. I thought we were creating something together, but maybe we’re better off on our own.

NICK Fine. Let’s leave it at that.

A few days later.

Nick texts Anita.

TEXT FROM NICK Can we talk?

TEXT FROM ANITA Okay. Tomorrow.

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 7.1

Nick and Anita meet, the tension between them still palpable.

NICK Let’s start over. I need to confess something.

ANITA What is it?

NICK At first, I didn’t believe in your musical. I just needed a distraction—I didn’t care about the story.

Anita is taken aback.

ANITA So it wasn’t about us, just you?

NICK Initially, yes. But then I saw how much it meant to you, and I started to care. I pushed for changes to make it successful for both of us.

ANITA You let me believe it was about us.

NICK I’m sorry. I didn’t want to seem like a failure. But I see now that hiding the truth made things worse.

Anita looks at him, conflicted.

ANITA It still hurts.

NICK I’m not asking you to forget—just to give me a chance to prove I care about the project… and about you.

Anita pauses, then nods slightly.

ANITA We’ll see.

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 8

Nick and Anita meet, the tension between them still palpable.

NICK Let’s start over. I need to confess something.

ANITA What is it?

NICK At first, I didn’t believe in your musical. I just needed a distraction—I didn’t care about the story.

Anita is taken aback.

ANITA So it wasn’t about us, just you?

NICK Initially, yes. But then I saw how much it meant to you, and I started to care. I pushed for changes to make it successful for both of us.

ANITA You let me believe it was about us.

NICK I’m sorry. I didn’t want to seem like a failure. But I see now that hiding the truth made things worse.

Anita looks away, processing this revelation.

ANITA I thought we were creating something beautiful.

NICK takes a deep breath.

NICK Can we still try? For your aunt? For us?

Anita studies Nick’s face, searching for sincerity.

ANITA For her… yes. But we have to do this together, no more hiding.

Nick nods, a sense of relief washing over him.

NICK Together, no more secrets.

anita i think we are almost done with scripy

nick let us submit to the producer

They share a warm smile, slowly breaking the tension.

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 11

Nick and Anita are rushing to finalize the musical, both feeling the pressure.

anita i have some the musical got the funding

nick that's so cool

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 12

Anita and Nick are talking through final details when Anita’s phone rings, breaking the tension.

NICK What is it?

ANITA The producer wants He wants to take it to London,

anita

//////////

anita im sorry i need to go

/////////

ANITA Hey,how is it going

im here in the city

nick how did it go ANITA i ended up not going

NICK (nervously) im sorry we could collobrate on the musical but I’ve been thinking about my solo show, and… I really need your help.

There’s a pause as Anita senses the weight of his words.

ANITA Of course! What do you need?

NICK (taking a deep breath) I want to make it more personal, more… me. But I’m stuck. I could really use your perspective.

Anita leans forward, intrigued.

ANITA I’d love to help! How about we meet up tomorrow? We can brainstorm together.

NICK (relieved) That sounds great. Thank you, Anita. This means a lot to me.

.. NICK So, I was thinking about starting the show with a story about my first audition. It was a disaster, but it’s where it all began.

Anita nods, taking notes.

ANITA That’s a perfect opener! It’ll set the tone and show your vulnerability.

Nick takes a moment, then looks directly at Anita, determination in his eyes.

NICK I want to incorporate music that reflects my journey, too. What if we use original songs that speak to those experiences?

Anita’s eyes light up, clearly excited by the idea.

ANITA Absolutely! We can create a soundtrack that evolves with the narrative. It’ll help the audience feel every twist and turn.

Nick leans closer, his enthusiasm contagious.

NICK And I’d love for you to help with the arrangements. Your musical touch would elevate it.

Anita smiles, touched by the invitation.

ANITA I’d be honored! Let’s make this show something special.

ANITA UR THE PERSON I WANT TO HEAR THIS DAAAA MOST :33

What character trop do u think I Suit, like it doesn't have to be exactly Japanese media but any character trope u think of when u meet with my personality :333

OMG HEY HEY 🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🌸🌸✨✨ okay so this is actually really fun to answer / think about.

So, to begin with, I’m just going to be completely honest. You remind me of the annoyingly happy / positive characters in media that never give up, always spewing positivity and uplifting others, and maybe even a little naive / optimistically innocent. I DON’T MEAN THIS IN A BAD WAY I PROMISE AHHHHH 🥹🥹🫶🏻😭😭✨💖💖 you’re fun, adventurous, loyal, and fiercely protective over your friends.

You’re the sweet character that is always there for everybody else and always believes that you and your team can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it; resilient, tender hearted, caring, sweet, sometimes naively gullible 😭🫶🏻 but all around loved and appreciated by everyone.

Here’s some tropes that I think best represents this in various media: you don’t fit into a single category but these are definitely some of the closest.

𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍

𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕

𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌

𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒖𝒆

𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒑𝒊𝒙𝒊𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍

𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅

Here’s some characters I believe relate to you:

Lucy Heartfilia (Fairytail)

Anna (Frozen)

Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket)

Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)

Joy (Inside Out)

Starfire (Teen Titans)

Rapunzel (Tangled)

Sardonyx (Steven Universe)

Poppy (Trolls)

Giselle (Enchanted + not necessarily her but definitely positive and uplifting like she is)

Harley Quinn (Batman + for some reason I do see a crazy side to you 😆💖)

Anyway this was fun, I hope you like my answer and it didn’t fail to meet your expectations. This was literally my first thought when you asked this, the hyper and excited character that loves their friends, not necessarily shy 😭 I would say what do you think I am because now I’m interested 😫💖💖🌸🌸✨✨✨ I LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU LIKE MY ANSWER @justcallmesakira 🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨✨

[crazyblondelife]

Bald Head Island - This & That

Happy Monday! I’m here at Bald Head Island and definitely on turtle time as you can probably tell from my posting schedule! The weather has been off and on, but yesterday was absolutely beautiful with highs in the low 80’s and the humidity was relatively low which is very unusual for this time of the year at Bald Head!

I’ve still been making some fun videos and definitely active on social media, so be sure to follow me on Instagram and check out my stories to see what I’m up to! Amos and I have been doing a lot of walking and enjoying the beautiful weather…I’ve been cooking yummy meals, drinking some great wine and enjoying this time before the fam gets here!

Even though July seems like the middle of the summer, it’s always been the month when I start thinking about fall because the magazines are showing fall clothing and sweaters start to appear in stores! I’m by no means ready to start wearing fall clothes because it feels like it’s just now getting consistently warm but I do enjoy planning because fall is my favorite time of the year!

I think I’ve mentioned that the whole family will be here with us at Bald Head next week…all 11 of us and 2 golden doodles…Amos and John Wayne, our daughter’s dog. It will be a house full, but we’re going to cook and spend days on the beach, and enjoy being all together for the first time in a while! We’re going on an afternoon sail, and on the 4th we’ve entered the annual July 4th parade where everyone decorates their golf cart and prizes go to the best cart! I know it will be the most amazing memory for my grandsons and I’m so excited! I ordered every imaginable July 4th decoration from Amazon so we’re ready to go!

I know I’ve shared this dress in a previous post, but…I remember trying it on and at that time, I knew that I wanted to wear and photograph it on the beach! It’s the perfect, timeless summer dress and I couldn’t resist posting again! Yes…I did get the bottom wet, but it was so much fun and I’ve been wearing it around in the afternoons feeling very much like a Victorian seaside lady!

My Beach Reads…

I’m reading two amazing books at the same time…they are both so different and unlikely beach reads, but I’m really enjoying them both! The Neville Collection by Neville Goddard is a collection of essays written by Neville Goddard and first published in 1932. It was put into one volume and re-published in 2020! It you’re interested in metaphysics at all, this book is fascinating, but admittedly not the easiest read! I’ve been reading it first thing in the morning when my mind seems more receptive to comprehending the deep ideas! I actually am really loving this book!

The second book I’m reading is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, who also wrote Rules of Civility, which I loved! This beginning of this book is set in Russia…I’m only on page 178, and it’s so descriptively beautiful that I can see in my mind the beauty of Russia in the early 1900’s! However, at this point, I can tell it’s taking a turn and it’s going to get somewhat dark, but I am thoroughly captivated by the story, so, of course, I will keep reading! If you haven’t read Rules of Civility, you really should pick up a copy!

I’ve read many books at the beach and some of my favorites have been Educated by Tara Westover, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale…also by Kristin Hannah, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, The Fountainhead by Anne Ryand (I stood in the pool and read this one for the most part because it was so hot that summer), The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave and Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver! I’m sure there have been many more but that’s a pretty good start!

When I first started blogging, I remember every blogger I followed being obsessed with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. At the time, I didn’t know what a big deal it was but now, I know what a big deal it is!

Wine…

By now, I’m sure you know that I love my wine and I’m always looking out for new ones to try! I’m pretty much a white wine drinker and summer is such a great to drink white wine! I’ve discovered two wines that I’m enjoying right now and I’ve also found a wine subscription that I’m going to join as soon as I get home!

The two wines that I’ve been enjoying since I’ve been here are Overstone Sauvignon Blank and Rumor Rosé! The Overstone is a well priced New Zealand Sauvignon Blank and the Rumor is a French Rose! I like to have a few bottles of something reasonably priced for an everyday drinking wine that goes well with cheeses and lighter summer fare and Overstone is great for that!

The Rumor Rosé is a little more expensive but still at $30 a bottle, it doesn’t break the bank! I typically am drawn to a French Rosé because they are light and dry and perfect for afternoons on the porch…at the beach or at home!

The wine subscription that I’m planning to join is Dry Farm Wines. Dry Farm Wines has a very specific criteria for the wines that they sell which I absolutely love… these criteria are - sugar free, not toxic additives, lower alcohol, organic farming, lab tested and vegan, keto, non GMO and paleo friendly! Dry Farm Wines has partnered with over 600 small farms that nurture the land, organically cultivate healthy soils, and grow wines with a beautiful sense of place.

Summer Recipes

As some of you know, I’ve recently partnered with Heritage Foods and have been busy cooking/grilling/eating their fabulous meats! They recently sent me an amazing box filled with pork tenderloins and pork chops. The farmers that partner with Heritage Foods grow 100% heritage breed animals that are raised humanely, outdoors, on pasture.

This collaboration is thrilling for me as it’s my first one as a “food blogger”! The Brown Sugar Roasted Pork Tenderloin above is a recipe from How Sweet Eats and I’m planning to make it soon!

Frozen Lemonade Pie was something my mother made when I was growing up! I loved it so much and I especially loved the graham cracker crust. I was scrolling through Instagram recently and saw this recipe from The Domestic Rebel, and summer memories of eating this pie came right back! I can imagine the tart lemon combined with sweetened condensed milk and it makes my mouth water! I cannot wait to try this recipe, but there’s no way you can go wrong!

On My Radar…

I’ve know about the brand & Other Stories, for a while now, but I’ve never really looked into it…what in the world was I waiting for! There are so many pieces I want! I would describe the aesthetic of & Other Stories as updated, well made classics…things you’ll keep for years to come and always feel stylish wearing them!

I would pair this striped sweater with these beautiful linen pants for a sophisticated beachy look! I also have my eye on this striped midi dress as well as this gorgeous tiered midi dress! I’m obsessed with this jumpsuit which would be great dressed up or down! Lately, I’ve been wearing long sleeve blouses in the evening because I get cold and this one is perfect for chilly summer nights. I’m loving this gorgeous blouse paired with these shorts!

I really hope you’ve enjoyed reading today! I’m including a boutique below with everything in the post to make shopping easier! PLEASE…leave a comment and tell me what you’re cooking, reading, drinking and shopping for this summer!

[velvetprvsley]

so i watched all three episodes, and it just made me mad tbh. The only people that really spoke good of him was Linda and Anita Wood's daughter. And the way the women made it seem weird that he was so close with his mother.. a man that loves his mother is a great man. Him having a picture of her beautiful tomb stone with his bed is not "weird and creepy", it just shows that he really loves and misses his mother. And to compare Elvis to R Kelly (a man that has raped several girls, done sex trafficking, and produced childp and probably much more) is so sick.

This one girl was in the documentary, she was 14 when she met Elvis. When she asked him why he wanted to be with her, his answer was that it brought him back to his childhood, when no one would be with him for his image and money. And he said that she liked him for him, and he liked that. She also said he never went any further than kissing, and he never made her feel uncomfortable. I think he was just very misunderstood and all he wanted was to be loved and appreaciated for him, and not his image. Of course he's done things that probably aren't the best, but hes human like all of us. Can you imagine people still picking on you for your flaws almost 50 years after you pass away. Please just let him rest and stop making dumb docuseries, books ect to profit from it.

Anyways that was my rant hope u enjoyed, not worth watching if you ask me :))

me logging on Instagram: seeing the new elvis doc:

I live in the u.s so I can’t even watch that foolishness but whew the trailer was messy… can we please just get the unreleased elvis on tour footage, I promise no one wants more discourse about his love life 🤠
