NOW PRESENTING… EVERYONE’S FAVORITE KOI BOI: BAILEY!!

or maybe he’s not ur fav koi boi but that would make him sad :(

He’s kinda bad so don’t mind that

Featuring: -koi tail w/ flows side fins

-gills

-patchy hair to match his tail

-blackened/clawed hands

-scales on his shoulders

-mismatching jewelry made from human trash (he LOVES shiny things)

-based off the Showa Sanshoku variant of Koi

-big floppy ears

-people watching! ((Oh no is he getting a crush??))

-Kinda invisible in most angles (BUT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY) booty fin

FULL IMAGE PLUS A SIDE STORY BELOW THE CUT!!

(sorry it’s sideways and also that I didn’t actually get to do a ton of art bc he took WAYYY longer than expected and my iPad was dying)

SIDE STORY TIMEEE In an au where ONLY Bailey was a siren, I feel like he’d have been caught (bc he’s too curious about humans, more so because he wants to know if his dinner can feel emotions.) and would’ve been kept in an aquarium so that marine biology/ichthyology students like Jasper would’ve seen him and soon the whole gang would start visiting him, along with Tonio ((mod’s bf!!)) who he’d probably have a huge crush on for some weird siren reason. He starts visiting the aquarium every day and Bailey starts going absolutely insane bc what kind of coward was he, letting glass get in the way of his human crush? He breaks the glass, and attempts to drag himself to Toni but starts suffocating (man’s got gills) so Sora, Jasper, Finn and Toni have to carry this massive fish-bitch to go stay in a bathtub temporarily before dumping him into some giant freshwater lake nearby lmao (and if you’re wondering about Pebble, he’s still a demon and shares a similar interest in Toni ;) )

USA Today Interview (2024)

For Jonathan Bailey, one of the biggest perks of starring in a massive franchise is getting your very own Lego figure.

The British actor, who plays the swoony prince Fiyero in “Wicked,” is featured in a 945-piece plastic Emerald City set. Although he has yet to procure the toy metropolis for himself, “Christmas is coming and I hope I’ve been a good boy this year,” Bailey says with a grin.

The impish heartthrob has been using Legos to unwind while on a weekslong promotional tour for the blockbuster movie musical, which tells the origin story of the witches of Oz. “Just last night, I managed to (put together) the Atlantic Ocean in this giant Lego globe that I’m currently building,” he delightedly explains.

The fantasy film caps off a monumental year for Bailey, 36, who earned an Emmy nomination for his devastating work in Showtime miniseries “Fellow Travelers,” and spent the summer in Thailand shooting “Jurassic World: Rebirth” (in theaters July 2, 2025) alongside Scarlett Johansson.

“It’s extraordinary the types of roles I’ve been able to play these last two years,” says Bailey, who broke through to U.S. audiences on Netflix phenom “Bridgerton” in 2020. “I’m pinching myself. If I could have gone back and told my younger self that this would be happening, I’d probably do a flip.”

Jonathan Bailey brings 'boyish charm' to 'Wicked' prince Fiyero

Bailey is no stranger to musical theater: At just 8 years old, he played the pint-sized revolutionary Gavroche in “Les Misérables” on London’s West End. And in 2019, he won an Olivier Award for a gender-swapped revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Company,” singing the mile-a-minute “Getting Married Today.”

But it was a viral audition tape for the musical “The Last Five Years” that caught the attention of “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu. “It felt like the thing I’ve always loved about musicals, where the song is just an extension of the dialogue. It felt like acting,” Chu recalls. “He just has that X factor. There’s such a boyish charm to him that you’re like, ‘That is Fiyero.’”

Like many, Bailey became obsessed with “Wicked” thanks to its Broadway cast album and 2004 Tony Awards performance with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. “The lyrics are so fascinating and witty,” Bailey says. “I remember laughing specifically at Glinda singing how this hat is ‘really, uh, sharp, don’t you think?’ I screamed!”

When the contumacious Fiyero arrives at Shiz University from Winkie Country, he instantly enchants the besotted Glinda (Ariana Grande), but slowly finds himself drawn to the green-skinned Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo). He also freely flirts with both his male and female classmates.

“Fiyero is confident and curious and kind enough to invite anyone to Winkie Country,” Bailey says cheekily. But as a gay actor, he’s grateful for the “years and years of progress” that have allowed him to be the leading man in a big-budget movie like “Wicked.”  

“There's been many Fiyeros before me, and many members of the LGBT community who have fought for times where someone like me could play these parts,” Bailey says. "This story resonates for so many people because it’s about identity and celebrates our similarities. In playing Fiyero, you realize what an ally he is to someone who’s outside of society. People are incredibly unkind to Elphaba, and he uses his charm and privilege” to help her feel accepted. “It’s really lovely.”

“There's been many Fiyeros before me, and many members of the LGBT community who have fought for times where someone like me could play these parts,” Bailey says. "This story resonates for so many people because it’s about identity and celebrates our similarities. In playing Fiyero, you realize what an ally he is to someone who’s outside of society. People are incredibly unkind to Elphaba, and he uses his charm and privilege” to help her feel accepted. “It’s really lovely.”

The 'Bridgerton' dreamboat heads to 'Jurassic World' next

Bailey delivers one of the movie’s standout numbers in “Dancing Through Life,” in which Fiyero persuades his schoolmates to join him for a night on the town at the trendy Ozdust Ballroom. The song begins in the Shiz library, where Fiyero swings between ladders, slides across desks, and flips through novels using only his feet. The actor spent seven weeks rehearsing the choreography, much of which takes place on rotating bookshelves.

“It turns out in Fiyero’s boots, it’s not so easy to open books and read ‘War and Peace’ with your toes,” Bailey jokes. “I also started training vocally over Zoom while I was filming ‘Fellow Travelers.’ I would do these scenes with Matt Bomer where I’d be smoking and screaming, and then I’d have to come back and sing somehow.”

Ultimately, making "Wicked" helped Bailey feel more at ease taking on the beloved "Jurassic Park" series, in which he plays a bespectacled paleontologist named Dr. Henry Loomis.

“Dancing and closing books with your toes does not save you from raptors,” Bailey quips. “ ’Wicked’ is its own beautiful beast, but it leans so much on the original imagery of ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ It taught me to blur out the reality of what it means to step into an incredibly iconic story, and just focus on working hard and having a lot of fun."

Bailey teases that he has another musical project “on the horizon.” In the meantime, Fiyero will have a more substantial role in "Wicked: Part Two" (in theaters Nov. 21, 2025), which shot back-to-back with the first movie. He still regrets not taking home the character's black leather boots, created by "genius" costume designer Paul Tazewell.

“I did manage to steal some postcards from the Emerald City,” Bailey says. “Some of those accidentally flew off in the middle of a take and landed in my bag. Other than that, I hope Paul will send me Fiyero’s tight pants one day."

————————————————

chatter fills the living space of the new york brownstone, the laughs and giggles of those occupying the space make their way onto the surprisingly quiet streets of the residential neighborhood.

and then across the street and a few streets over and throughout the entirety of the city that is new york, each person is celebrating the new year in their own special way.

whether it be with family over dinner, or with a lover watching a film, or even waiting in a crowd for a ball to drop in times square, even with all the noise and chaos outside the brown door that separates you from the rest of the world…

even if there may be other interesting things rather than spending the night with your dysfunctional family eating ham and cheese off of boards, the both of you still chose to be here with each other.

the clock counts down from ten to midnight and as you look at natasha with the biggest smile on your face all she can think is that holy shit i’m the luckiest fucker alive and god, i’m so glad i get exist in this life with you.

and the night continues for two more hours after that. the both of you continue to entertain your guests and drink the expensive spirits you had saved all year specifically for this occasion.

tony makes some joke about when to expect a baby from you in the new year and natasha throws something back at him that makes him cower behind pepper, but she doesn’t miss the blush that tints your cheeks.

she squeezes your hand that’s rested on her lap, an indicator that the joke doesn’t have to become a huge thing but that she’s open to the idea when you are. you kiss her near the ear and whisper that you can both talk when you aren’t a whole bottles worth of bailey’s drunk.

once everyone has finished off the last of the charcuterie board laid out in the kitchen and had a slice of your homemade tiramisu cake, clint is the first to suggest they start heading home.

although hesitant to let your friends leave at such a late time in the night you decide it’s better this way or else you’ll have a home filled with cranky men in the morning.

you walk them out the door to their designated rides and bid them ‘goodbyes’ and ‘get home safes’ as natasha follows closely behind you.

natasha let’s out a sigh of relief once the door closes and it’s finally just the two of you alone again.

you loop your arms around the redheads neck and stuff your nose into the frabic of her blouse. her scent becomes an instant anchor in bringing you back down to earth.

you stay in that same spot by the foyer until you finally muster enough courage to turn towards the stairs and lead you and natasha towards your bedroom.

the next morning is new year’s day. and although it’s entirely a new year natasha feels it as just another morning after a huge celebration.

she turns to you and smiles but it instantly fades, a small part of her crumbles at the thought of the end of your time together coming so shortly. natasha is only getting older as are you and the years are only going faster. at least that’s what it feels like.

and although the thought is completely all irrational and that you both still have all the time in the world left with most of your lives still left to live; natasha thinks that even with just that reassurance…all that time would still not be enough time to spend with you.

she soon forgets her worries when you wake moments later. you snuggle into her neck and place kisses there. natasha leaves you more access by tilting her head but you only giggle at her advances and kiss her on the nose before letting the sheet fall off your body as you move off the bed.

‘let me clean so i can get breakfast started.’ you say as you step into the restroom.

natasha follows soon after that.

glitter and confetti lay like a blanket over the hardwood floor. natasha catches the sigh you make at the mess and she’s already on her way to fetch the broom from the pantry.

as she makes herself busy cleaning up the bottles and wine glasses scattered across the room her eyes find a pile of polaroids laid out onto the coffee table in the middle of the living room.

she looks through them and smiles as the memories of the both you from the night before come to mind.

‘watcha got there?’ you ask when you notice her pause in movements. you walk up behind her throwing an arm around her waist and peek over her shoulder.

photos, of you clinging to the other while laughing over a joke you couldn’t remember now, one of you hugging natasha while she has her back to the camera and you smirking directly at it, and another of you that you remember her taking as you prepared food in the kitchen.

she turns her head to you and smiles. and it has become entirely too apparent now that even if she knows it in the bottom of her heart, she hopes you never reach the end. she hopes you still love her when you’re scared and she’s lost or if you’re tired and she’s wrong.

she wants every single midnight with you just like the last one. she wants to be there when the day ends and the new one begins, finally she wants to be the last one you see and the first thing she wakes to.

‘what are you thinking?’ you finally ask. you see the small quirk in her smile and she finally says,

‘i think that…you look like the rest of my life.’

All your faves saw Wicked early at world premiere in Sydney

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/all-your-faves-saw-wicked-early-at-world-premiere-in-sydney/

All your faves saw Wicked early at world premiere in Sydney

The queer movie event of the year, Wicked, has made its world premiere in Sydney.

Fans waited for hours outside the State Theatre on Sunday afternoon to see the film’s stars arrive on the Yellow Brick Road.

Ariana Grande was joined at the premiere by director Jon M Chu and castmates Cynthia Erivo, the Oscar-nominated star who plays opposite Ari as Elphaba, Jonathan Bailey and Jeff Goldblum.

Australia’s biggest Wicked superfan Joel Creasey hosted the “first of five world premieres�� with Mardi Gras co-host Narelda Jacobs.

“You know how people have their favourite bands or people like Swifties?” Joel said on Nova last week.

“This is my Taylor Swift. I mean, Wicked is your personality. Wicked’s your Beyonce.

“It’s what I go to when I’m happy, when I’m sad… I’ve seen it 250 plus times.

“That’s why Narelda is there. She’s my emotional support anchor.”

Wicked is ‘bloody epic’ and ‘beautifully done’

Drag star Hannah Conda walked the Yellow Brick Road in her witchiest drag.

“@wickedmovie is actually mind blowingly amazing!” Hannah wrote.

“As a fan of 21 years this itched every scratch and cast every magic spell you could ask for. I am speechless!”

Courtney Act also approved of Wicked after seeing it at the premiere, describing it as “bloody epic” and “so beautifully done”.

The buzz around director Jon M. Chu’s big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical is getting just as deafening, after US entertainment bible Vanity Fair declared that Grande’s performance as Glinda the Good Witch of the North was Oscar-worthy.

Wicked is split into two films

Wicked first debuted on Broadway over 20 years ago in 2003. The first cast starred Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively.

Universal’s film adaptation of Wicked is split into two films, premiering a year apart.

Director Jon M. Chu previously said they initially set out to make one film, but they couldn’t bear to make edits to the story.

He wrote on Twitter X, “As we prepared this production over the last year, it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it.

“As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us for so many years.

“So we decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one Wicked movie but TWO!!!”

Wicked arrives in Australian cinemas on November 21, 2024.

Look at him !! I could get lost in writing about a nasty creep like him. I want him to kiss me but I also wanna smack him; I dunno XD

Agent Eddie Zane, Man of the House

Steve Abnesti, Spiderhead

Not gonna lie, I wanna write some really dark stuff for Steve.

Chase McKinney, Now You See Me 2

Detective Wayne Bailey/Kirsch, Scream 6

Warwick, Graveyard Shift

Another one I could write some really dark stuff for... :D :D :D Sorry, haha XDD

Alexis Butler and Val, We Summon the Darkness

Mulgarath, Spiderwick

... Count Olaf... Series of Unfortunate Events

Look, leave me be. He's just so GROSS. I love gross, irredeemable villains that you know the writers really just went 'I am going to make this character so unlikeable'. Truly top tier.

Capricorn, Cockerell and Flatnose, Inkheart

I always thought Cockerell especially was pretty XD Kinda Otis B Driftwood-Style.

Dag, Barnyard

I MEAN?? Ugh. I'm sorry. I know he's a coyote. But he's such a bastard and I love it. He's been a favourite of mine since I was a kid!

*****

Personal favorite: 2009 But also: 1996 (Theatrical Film), Emma Approved

P.S.: 2020′s pretty popular, from what I’ve seen. I’ve enjoyed it myself, but it’s not among my favorite.
