Cont. from @brokenbcys || Ben and Anthony (x)

Ben normally had a steady hand, but this time, something was different. Seeing someone else for the first time in so long put him off, and he wasn't sure about what he should do. But he knew one thing was for certain - he would not be responsible for innocent blood being spilled. So, slowly, he lowered his weapon at the man's request and nodded his head.

"Unfortunately, there's nothing here. Looks like it was picked apart months ago." he explained, watching the man closely. "Are you alone?"

Idk what this is but another lil starter for @ghostsxagain || Ben and Elijah

Shit. From his vantage point, he spotted the movement - it was around a hundred yards from Elijah, but it wouldn't take long for his partner to be gained upon. So he frantically called out to the other man.

"Go! I'll clear the path for you!"

The Repenting Sinner

Original Character | FC: John Simm | formerly on spellsandpixiedust

Threads | Headcanons | Aesthetics | Open Starters

NAME: Liam Talbot

AGE: in his 40s

SPECIES: human mage

PROFESSION: mage-for-hire | formerly: petty criminal

Short Bio

Liam is a self-taught magic user, who discovered his abilities when he was thirteen years old. In want for a proper mentor, Liam turned to books and soon to summoning demons, losing his soul to Hell only a year into practising magic. He ran away from home at seventeen and eventually became addicted to using blood magic. On a constant hunt for the next big magic kick he indulged in terrible rites over the years, although once he understood the dimensions of the collateral damage he'd caused, Liam went cold turkey in his mid-thirties and vowed to become a better person.

Liam has since found a way to repent in the form of offering his service as some sort of mage for hire. He’ll work as a private investigator, bodyguard or counsellor and offers his help to those in need, even if it means he has to face the (sometimes literal) demons of his past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

FACE CLAIM: John Simm

HEIGHT: 5ft 7 (1.75m)

NOTABLE FEATURES: various scarred over cuts on his arms from practising blood magic, the sigil of the demon Ba'al Berith on his left shoulder - both things he''s deeply ashamed of and attempts to hide under his clothes

STYLE: Usually Liam prefers to dress in comfortable clothing, such as (often oversized) hooded sweatshirts and jeans. He has a tendency to steal other people's clothing, especially from a significant other or hook-up. He only ever buys his bandshirts, but those are prized possessions. Liam won’t admit it, but he needs glasses for reading, so he can be spotted with his brainy specs every once in a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

LANGUAGES: English (native), German (fluent) , Latin (fluent)

INTERESTS: music (playing guitar & attending concerts), fucking around with magic

VICES: smokes and drinks on a regular basis, can't function without coffee, enjoys being a provocative little shit without even trying, incredibly petty and vengeful

~~~~~~~~~~~~

NSFW

Liam is romantically and sexually attracted to men, looking for a partner who is about as much of an arsehole as he is, often opting for a lot worse. He dates men who are around his age or older, and who can meet eye-to-eye with his brattiness. He's anything but submissive and he needs a partner who is equally dominant, revelling in a constant power shift.

Bonus points for muses with the following face claims: David Tennant, Philip Glenister, David Morrissey, Liam Cunningham

C O N T from @sxmebrxs || David (X)

It felt so surreal to bump into David after so long, having not seen the other man since he was eighteen and still fighting the supernatural with his parents. So much had happened since then, yet the way he cared about this man never changed. He pulled back from the embrace, laughing softly at the touch to his slight beard and shrugged his shoulders.

“Nah, don’t sweat it, man. I could be cocky and say I had everything under control, but that’d be a flat out lie. You’re looking great.” His smile softened slightly and he glanced over to the body behind him. “Fancy grabbing a beer?”

TIFF 2019: Day 1

Films: 4 Best Film of the Day: The Lighthouse

Parasite: Outside of The Godfather, you wouldn’t expect the sound effect of a door to signify the emotional weight of an entire film, but early on in Joon-ho Bong’s Palme d’Or-winning comic tragedy, that’s what he achieves. The door in question is the outer entrance to the stunning house where the ultra-wealthy Parks live: As it opens, you hear the echoing, metallic clank and whoosh of well-heeled machinery. Standing outside of it is Dong-ik (Sun-kyun Lee), the youngest member of the vastly less successful Kim family. He lives with his parents and sister in a dark, bug-infested basement flat. What comes out of this visit, a job interview, eventually leads Dong-ik‘s family to insinuate themselves into the Park’s home, systematically replacing existing staff, until they have fully taken over. To this point, the film is mostly a comedy, but Bong isn’t satisfied with a simple farce. True to his nature, he keeps probing the situation, teasing it out with several other revelations and twists, until it becomes something almost altogether different. By the end, as it swerves inexorably into blood-soaked violence, the film reveals to be a bit of a con itself, drawing us in with its enticing humor, then opening up into a much darker vision, before ending on an emotional note of surprising vulnerability. Through it all, Bong shows a mastery of odd tones, from the opening comedic salvo, to the final emotional beats.

The Lighthouse: Horror is always deeply seated in myth, from our earliest beginnings, those things that terrified us became made manifest and canonized, as a way to explain them -- or at least acknowledge their existence. No modern filmmaker seems to understand this better than Robert Eggers, whose debut feature, The Witch, utilized actual language from existing folk myths and incorporated it into truly terrifying work. His new film utilizes a similar device, but while The Witch remained rooted in the realism of the New England countryside, this film is much more interested in the wild, chaotic lands inside our skulls. Willem DaFoe is the aging, half-mad Scottish wickie, manning the light, and Robert Pattinson is the younger apprentice, dealing with the drudgery of the day’s work for what is meant to be a four-week stint. We have two men alone on a desolate and isolated rocky island that may or may not be haunted with the spirits of long-dead sailors. Working as a kind of companion piece to his first film, Eggers creates a similar atmosphere of dread, while utilizing several thematically linked tropes – substitute the desolate woods for the desolate ocean; and raving seagulls in place of a jet-black billy goat. It’s like a half-mad sea shanty come to horrible life and twisting on itself in swirl of frothing currents. Because Eggers is constantly re-establishing what we are to consider real, and what is left in the buggered minds of these two drunken sots, we are on much softer ground than in his previous effort, the distinction between a pine forest ground, and the sand, I suppose, which makes the film less immediately unnerving, but no less impressive.

Zombi Child: It begins promisingly enough, with oddly interwoven threads from seemingly different films: a Haitian man is murdered with a Voodoo concoction only to return in undead form, escaping forced labor in the cane fields to return home; a group of French teen girls in a highly decorated private school outside Paris indoctrinate a new girl to their literary society; and one of the girls pines for the boy she is madly in love with, awaiting his return. Gradually, French director Bertrand Bonello starts connecting these threads, but the more they reveal themselves, the less luring the film becomes. From its intriguingly ambiguous start, it slides into disappointingly recognizable territory. Eventually, it settles into a commentary on cultural appropriation, by one of the characters, but also, as an indictment of the audience (and possibly Bonello himself), meddling in things we don’t begin to understand in the name of narrative thrill. It has many good moments, and some eerie sequences, but oddly loses power in its coherency.

The Personal History of David Copperfield: Armando Iannucci is well-known as a satirist of the highest order – “Veep,” the HBO TV series that just concluded its run, was a ribald and unsparing depiction of politicians as ego-maniacal lunatics – but his adaptation of the beloved Charles Dickens’ novel hews much more closely to the writer’s own sentimentalist fancy than what we might have expected from Iannucci’s normal comic eviscerations. Still, there’s plenty to enjoy here, from Dev Patel’s winning performance in the title role (dude could charm fuzz off a peach); to the bevy of other great character turns from a resonant cast including Hugh Laurie, Ben Whishaw, Gwendoline Christie,  Benedict Wong, and Tilda Swinton, among others. It turns out Dickens’ penchant for capital C characters plays well in Iannucci’s hands, and everyone seems to be having a hell of a time taking turns chewing up the scenery. It’s certainly a lot less lachrymose than what we’re used to from him, but it’s understandable why he might have needed a breath of less befouled air.

Tomorrow: Due to the vagaries of the schedule, it will likely be a simple, three-movie day: Beginning with Trey Edward Schultz’ Waves; moving on to The Sleepwalkers, an intriguing sounding film from Paula Hernandez; and closing the relatively easy day with Pedro Costa’s Vitalina Varela.

Pre-Gamin’: Dodgers at Cubs (9:05 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Cubs are playing another late-one tonight – 9:05 CT start time – as they plan to host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Sloan Park.

Cole Hamels is starting for the Cubs tonight, and, notably, he’ll be batting eighth. It’s possible that his position in the lineup means nothing – this could make pinch hitting for him sooner a bit easier – but the other Cubs pitchers have mostly batted ninth this Spring, when they’ve batted for themselves at all. On top of that, Maddon does have a history of batting pitchers eighth, so I guess let’s just see what happens during the last week or so. Maybe Joe hasn’t decided which way he wants to go just yet.

As for the Cubs lineup, it’s looking like a very real, regular season group. Among the more mobile choices, you’ll find Ben Zobrist at second, Kyle Schwarber in left, and Ian Happ in center. The Dodgers are countering with most of their regulars, as well.

I can’t say I’ll stay up for all of this one, but I will say “Go Cubs.”

Cont. from @mettleborn || Ben & Sam (x)

There was a flicker of something in Ben's eyes as he stood there, gun still in his hands while he stared. He couldn't quite recall the last time he saw someone alive, someone human... It could have been weeks, months. He had begun to think that he might be the only one out there, but now, maybe he could be proven wrong. That said, there was still the fact that he did not know who the stranger was, or what he was doing. There was every chance that a survival instinct could kick in and the other man could fight, but Ben was armed at least. The response was somewhat surprising, the easiness in the man's voice indicating that this was hardly the first time he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun, but the fact that he was still there meant that he could get himself out of these situations; through words or fists.

"Likewise." Ben replied, a small nod of his head before he slowly lowered the aim of his weapon. He would not disarm himself entirely, but there was no use exacerbating the situation if it was not called for. "What are you doing out here? I heard this town was abandoned entirely..." He paused for a moment, noticing the dog that was with the other. "Do you have supplies?" he asked, willing to at least offer something to another who might need something.

[ofmusingsxandmayhem]

Cont. from @radicalrascals || Nick and Ben (x)

Remaining cautious, but not wanting to escalate things too quickly, Ben slowly lowered his weapon as he watched the man hold up his hands. He knew too well that someone could feign surrender, trick someone into thinking that they were not a threat, but he also wasn't about to start shooting over nothing. If anything, it was a waste of ammunition that he could not afford.

"You're staying in that place?" he asked, motioning to the nearby cabin that he had intended to check, keeping his gaze on the stranger. "Not exactly what you'd call a cosy weekend getaway..."

WEAKNESSES: Rafael tends to put his work before everything else, including friends, family and his own well-being

INTERESTS: his job. there's barely anything outside of it that he registers; although he does enjoy riding his motorcycle and he makes an attempt to reconcile with his children and maybe be better with people in general

VICES: fuelled by his desire to get more work done, and caffeine's limited effect, Rafael resorted to illegal stimulants, and in turn to alcohol to come down. He may have renounced hard drugs, but he still appreciates his booze.

NSFW

Rafael is romantically and sexually attracted to women, looking for someone to engage in sophisticated conversations as much as silly banter. He needs someone who can accept that he won't always be physically or emotionally available, especially not when hyperfocus strikes. He considers himself just a tad bit dominant in bed, but a true gentleman. Has no issues taking care of household chores but needs reminders. He needs reminders for everything.

Bonus points for muses with the following face claims: Ana de Armas, Camila Pitanga, Alinne Moraes

Closed starter for @aufhcker​ 

It was slowly becoming a long and tiring hunt for Ben. He wasn’t as spritely as he had once been, wasn’t the young man who could easily run around and take a hit like he had been twenty plus years ago. He was past forty now and a string of bad hunts had left him with a back that seemed to want to counteract his every move. Still, he did what he could, and he pushed through any discomfort that middle-age brought him so that he could help keep people safe. Just as his parents had raised him to do. 

He had been in Ohio hunting down a pack of werewolves, a group who had been terrorising the townsfolk and had a trail of bodies in their wake. Of course, the local authorities thought it was a wild animal, a theory that Ben was happy to run with as he visited the station under the guise of a federal agent, gathering all the information that he could. But that was only part of his job, the easy part as well. It was the hunting that was the more difficult task. Finding out where the creatures were hiding, tracking their movements, trying to figure out the best way to take them down given that there were four of them and one of him. 

The third night he spent in town, he noticed that this time around, there were only two sets of prints along the dirt track through the forest, and given that it was half the amount he had previously been following, Ben was more than a little confused. They had been traveling together until this point. Why stop now? He hadn’t heard of any other hunters being in town, so why the sudden change in movement tactics? It was cool and a light breeze whipped around him as he moved through the bushes, slowly following the tracks that had been left in the dirt with his weapon in his hand. It was always tense to be following multiple targets, knowing that he was outnumbered and much weaker than the werewolves, but he had little choice. He could only do his best. 

Coming upon one of the werewolves, Ben came to a halt behind a nearby tree, watching the creature sniffing the air. It likely knew that he was there, but he opted to not focus on that, instead readying his rifle.

Slow, deep breaths passed his lips as he aimed the weapon at the creature, silver bullets loaded and ready to go. And so, he pulled the trigger, watching the werewolf crumble to the ground with a screech, falling completely still seconds later. That was one down, however the second was not far away, and Ben had no time to register the sound of hurrying footsteps rushing towards him until it was too late. The second creature rammed into him, sending him hurtling across the forest floor, gun skidding into some nearby bushes. Clearly, it was furious that its ‘friend’ had been killed as it looked at him with anger in its eyes, circling as Ben tried to scramble to his feet. His silver blade was in his jacket pocket, however as his hand slipped into the fabric, he was rushed again, and his attempt to dodge the blow was unsuccessful as he was flung into a nearby tree, face slamming into the trunk and leaving him dazed while the werewolf stalked closer.

Cont. from @radicalrascals || Ben, Nick and Rafael (x)

Ben's heart was almost in his throat as he offered the older brother a friendly smile in greeting. He glanced towards Nick with a hint of colour in his cheeks caused by the compliment, nodding his head slightly as he observed the interaction between the two siblings. He got the impression that Rafael hadn't necessarily been aware of their meeting today, and it made the hunter a little uneasy, but when a hand was extended to him, it took the edge off just a little.

"The pleasure's all mine." Ben replied, shaking the others hand as he noticed the rather firm grip. He managed a weak chuckle when Rafael mentioned the way Nick had spoken about him. "Um, well as long as it's all good things, I guess." He glanced to Nick who looked rather uncomfortable and he smiled softly. Sitting down, he got comfortable and waited for the other two men to join him, sliding menus over to them both.

"Oh... Well, I'm not all that exciting really. I'm in pest control." he replied, hating how lame that sounded, but it was a lie without being a complete lie. He did take out pests, just not necessarily the kind one might assume. "I have my own small business and I travel around a lot... As for where I'm from, originally Chile by way of Texas."

Cont. from @smckehour || Ben and Samar (x)

"Well, at this stage, I'll take my chances with the bacteria." Ben replied, chuckling slightly as he glanced towards his friend and shifted the strap of his rifle on his shoulder. He was grateful to not be alone in this world. He thought he could manage it at first, having been used to traveling alone before now, but having Samar around reminded him that there was still good in humanity. What was left of it, anyway.

"No, not that. I was out this way not long after the outbreak. Made my way through town in search of supplies, survivors, before the sanctuary was created. It's been a while but hopefully I can remember the path through well enough... This old brain ain't what it used to be."
