The House (2022) is not actually a horror film, but it is ominous and creepy and stopmotion so it's at least as adjacent as some of the other things I've added to my Halloween watchlist in the past. Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Goth are in it.

They started construction before it was even confirmed the contract was signed, huh?

That baby fell down the stairs.

So basically the whole first act is about a family in the 1800's whose father and mother become blinded by materialism and social status when a mad artist allows them to live in a mansion in exchange for giving up their old lives and house to basically become living props in this art installation. The daughter takes her infant sister and escapes as the mansion burns.

Now it is modern day, the mansion went from being on top of a hill to being part of a town, and humans have been replaced by anthropomorphic rats. One such rat, a home renovator, is getting the mansion ready when he has to deal with two types of pests: carpet beetles and a couple that doesn't leave after the open house ends. He is driven mad and feral as the new half-rat half-beetle occupants of the mansion reduce it to squalor.

That fucking kid with the ice cream.

He...he was talking to his dentist and not a wife or girlfriend...???

Now it is the future, and the world is flooded aside from the mansion which has become a dilapidated apartment complex inhabited by anthropomorphic cats. The landlady is obviously unable to extract money from her remaining tenants what with the apocalypse and all, but she still clings to her facade of a capitalist society. As the floodwaters rise and everyone else leaves, it turns out the mansion was converted into a boat behind the landlady's back and all of them sail into the horizon.

It's easy to interpret The House itself as a character, an entity exerting a will over its dwellers and influencing their greed and their obligation to the building. The narrative plays with what a house is and what it represents, be that social standing, wealth, memories, the future, the past, or a collection of bricks.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005, Tim Burton)

29/03/2024

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 2005 film directed by Tim Burton.

The film stars Johnny Depp and is based on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl.

Another adaptation had previously been made from the book in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, by Mel Stuart, with Gene Wilder, from whom, however, Burton said he did not take inspiration for his, instead trying to return to the spirit original of Dahl's novel.

Charlie Bucket is a poor child who lives with his family, consisting of his parents, his paternal grandparents George and Georgina and his maternal grandparents Joe and Josephine.

One evening grandfather Joe tells Charlie that, years before, he worked in the first shop opened by the man who would become the most famous sweets maker in the world, the enigmatic Willy Wonka. Unfortunately, Wonka's rivals, envious of his sweets and success, sent spies to steal his secret recipes, to the point that Willy Wonka was forced to close the factory, firing his employees.

One day Willy Wonka makes an announcement that shocks the whole world: whoever finds five golden tickets hidden in as many chocolate bars produced by him, which could be found anywhere in the world, will have the opportunity to visit his grandiose factory, and one of the five visitors will win a special prize. As soon as the news spreads, the sweet shops are stormed and, after a short time, the first four tickets are found by four children: Augustus Gloop, from Düsseldorf, Germany, greedy and obese; Veruca Salt, from Buckinghamshire, England, a capricious and spoiled little girl by her rich father; Violet Beauregarde, from Atlanta, Georgia, a vain and arrogant little girl, world bubble gum champion and winner of numerous awards; Mike Teavee from Denver, Colorado, a very intelligent and grumpy child addicted to television and video games.

During the tour of the factory, a series of flashbacks reveal Willy Wonka's past: he was the son of the uncompromising dentist Wilbur Wonka, who made him wear enormous orthodontic braces and didn't allow him even the smallest sweet. One Halloween night, after his father had thrown the sweets he had collected into the fire, little Willy secretly managed to retrieve and eat a chocolate. After closing the factory due to recipe thefts, he decided to reopen it having found new and loyal workers among the indigenous Oompa-Loompas.

During the tour inside the factory, unlike Charlie, the other four children turn out to be unpleasant and disobedient and are involved in various events due to which they leave the scene one after the other: Augustus falls into a river of chocolate from which he was trying to drink and is sucked into a tube that collects the chocolate and takes it to the various departments; Violet tries an experimental chewing gum on herself and swells, transforming into a huge blueberry; Veruca is attacked and thrown into the garbage dump by a group of squirrels trained to shell nets, after trying to catch one; Mike gets teleported by a machine to transfer Wonka Bars to the television and becomes very small.

Charlie Bucket, played by Freddie Highmore.

Willy Wonka, played by Johnny Depp.

Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, played by Noah Taylor and Helena Bonham Carter.

NOVOCAINE- 2001 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfectly ok movie.

Frank Sangster (Steve Martin) is a rich and successful dentist. Hes also married to Jean (Laura Dern).

He has a brief affair with new client Susan (Helena Bonham Carter) who is also a drug addict who is swindling him.

After he is framed for murder she tries to help him avoid jail....

Surprised Helena popped a titty for this movie.

Not a bad film, an easy watch but not brilliant at any point really.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Mostly JR with a Chiaki sprinkle of SiH AU based on the 2005 Movie

First, The beautiful art here is by @dogggish which is just brilliant. In addition he also contributed muchly to the list and it was his idea to stream the movie in the first place which led to this inspiration so thanks. And Thank you also to @yoshiunova, youmeandteddybears and @starlyd4 for your insight and contributions. If I'm missing anyone I apologize!

Character List

Charlie: Mahiro

Willy Wonka : Usami Akihiko

Grandpa Joe: Uncle MIsaki

Charlie's parents: Takahiro and Manami

Dr. Wonka: Usami Natsuko

Veruca: Isaka Ryuichiro

Her father: Isaka Daddy

Mike Teavee: Hiroki (he's got the anger management problem)

Mike’s parent : Kamijou Papa

Violet: Shinobu

Violet’s mom: His sister Risako

Augustus Gloomp: Chiaki

Augustus's mother: Yoshino Mama

Ooompa loompas: Teddy bears in latex outfits

The main oompa including the therapist: Suzuki

Other grandparents: don’t exist. Sometimes Todo comes over though.

Akihiko grew up with major trauma in his life due to a coldhearted dentist Mom who dumped all the candy (and the toys too) into the fire. He also really doesn’t like kids and all this really fits great with JR canon because that’s kind of true. He has the flashbacks to his childhood and needs a lot of loving but he's had so much trauma. Mahiro is growing up loved but dirt poor but loved with his parents and his uncle Misaki in their little bent broken down shack. Misaki tries to help pay for things in his dead end job and he also helps Manami with household chores and making sure Takahiro isn't spoiling Mahiro rotten. Manami’s got major MILF energy just like Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Bucket.

And Takahiro - well if you’ve seen the 2005 movie that fits well.

Dr Wonka is Natsuko and not Fuyuhiko because in the movie the dad has newspaper clippings about Willy covering one of his walls and that’s similar to Natsuko reading all of Akihiko’s novels. (Well, probably not the Junai ones.)

Chiaki is a much tinier Augustus but he does love eating and he is a clutz and he falls into the chocolate river to his mother’s worried yelling although somehow she’s not surprised at all.

Isaka is rich just even more spoiled than he is in canon which would be frightening. Mike is Hiroki because he has a huge anger management problem. And Violet in the movie just has that Shinobu don’t mess with me aura.

And teddy bears. Of course they are singing animatronic teddy bears because this is Akihiko. They sing all the songs only they're themes to JR with words about Hiroki, Shinobu and Ryuichiro and how badly they're behaving. So the plot is pretty much canon except Misaki is a lot younger and cuter than Grandpa Joe and gives Akihiko the VA VA VOOM effect very early on.

In the end Aki finds true love with Misaki. The Takahashi family are able to buy their own apartment and Misaki moves in with Akihiko and they have private expeditions in the great glass elevator. “NOT HERE BAKA USAGI!” Etc.

Once upon a prickling, bone-bleaching summer, Jethro Carlisle Fellows was nearly run out of town for being just about the worst goddamn dentist the county had ever been cursed to know. Before that he'd been fired twice from the general store, thrown out of the watering hole for drinking the still and passed from hand to hand until his addled head spun. The only person who ever gave him the time of day was his own poor wife, Zelda, who'd been cheated by some fickle feint to get paired up with a man like him. Eventually, out of grace or just because they were tired, someone threw him a shovel and put him to work digging holes. Digging graves. And that was that in the summer of 1902.

Four generations later and the Fellows are still the funeral folk of Magnolia with each head of the household making it more respectable than the last. The current director, Henry Fellows, is a magnanimous and respected man, father of three (mostly) untroubled children and a boon to the community. If only Jethro could see those pretty pews, silvery candelabras and tasteful velvets. Then again, maybe he does - what with the Old Fellows Funeral Services in such proximity of the cemetery. Maybe that's him whistling now.

Peugeot 402 Roadster - 1938 by Perico001 Chassis n° 367340 Peugeot 402 Légère re-bodied in the style of a Pourtout-built Darl'Mat Roadster Bonhams : The Autumn Sale 2020 Estimated : € 170.000 - 200.000 Sold for € 201.250 Autoworld www.autoworld.be Brussels - Belgium September 2020 "Paulin became the leading French stylist of the time... Everything he touched was designed with aerodynamics in mind. He was very conscious of fuel efficiencies and the aerodynamic efficiencies that could be created by the lines of the car. You could go faster, which meant you could put a smaller engine in the car..." – Adatto, Richard, From Passion to Perfection: The Story of French Streamlined Styling, 1930-1939. The 1930s was a period when automobile engineers and stylists first began to apply the principles of aerodynamics to passenger car design, a movement that would result in some of the most breathtaking works of automotive art that the world had ever seen. One stunning example of this trend was the exclusive series of streamlined roadsters, coupés and cabriolets styled by Georges Paulin and built by the French coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout for Émile Darl'Mat, whose Paris-based company was one of the world's largest Peugeot agencies. The Peugeot 302 chassis was used at first, fitted with the larger (2.0-litre, later 2.1-litre) four-cylinder overhead-valve engine of the 402. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1936, the 302 lasted for only 18 months, though its short wheelbase chassis would live on in the 402 Légère. Darl'Mat was a passionate champion of the Peugeot marque and longed for it to return to racing, particularly at prestigious home events like the 24 Heures du Mans. Using his considerable influence, he obtained the factory's blessing for a limited run of sports cars worthy of Peugeot's sporting legacy. He was one of a select few dealers able to offer custom coachwork to his customers, and Peugeot was more than happy to supply him with whatever he needed, so long as the orders kept rolling in. Darl'Mat enjoyed a close relationship with Marcel Pourtout's successful carrosserie on the outskirts of Paris, and together the two men would create some of Peugeot's most memorable – and beautiful – automobiles. Marcel Pourtout had founded his coachbuilding business in 1925 and produced unremarkable designs at first, though that all changed when he was joined by Georges Paulin. A dentist by profession, Paulin understood aerodynamics and had impeccable taste. He worked for Panhard, Unic and Peugeot, for whom he designed the 1934 'Eclipse' featuring a retractable steel cabriolet roof, a construction he patented. In 1940 Paulin joined the French Resistance to fight the Nazi regime but was arrested and executed. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Médaille de la Résistance by the French government. Pourtout built around 105 of these streamlined cars for Darl'Mat between 1936 and 1939, and examples of the roadster ran competitively at Le Mans in 1937 and 1938. Demonstrating Paulin's conviction that a car did not necessarily need a large engine if it was effectively streamlined, three Darl'Mat Peugeots finished in the top ten in 1937, with the best placed example of Pujol/Contet coming home 7th overall, while the following year the Darl'Mat of de Cortanze/Contet finished 5th overall, winning the 2-Litre Class. Many years later, while restoring the ex-Dorothy Patten and Baron Rainer von Dorndorf's Darl'Mat roadster, the vendor found this very sound Peugeot 402 Légère and realised that its chassis was identical to the roadster's. A tool-room copy of the roadster body was made and the result is the car offered here: a fitting homage to its designer, Georges Paulin. Meticulously restored to the highest standard between 2017 and 2019, this superb car benefits from extra horsepower courtesy of a high-compression cylinder head and twin Solex carburetors mounted on a special Memini intake manifold. Power is transmitted via a Cotal electromagnetic gearbox to the Pilot wheels. Offered with restoration bills, French Carte Grise and Contrôle Technique, this pre-war icon is a pleasure to drive, a feast for the eyes, and ready for racing or any Concours d'Élégance. https://flic.kr/p/2jKwT8o

Selecting the right dentist for dental implants is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration of several factors, including their certifications, experience, patient feedback, and the cost of surgery. Ensuring that the dental clinic demonstrates a high level of competence is also vital.

“D’you need a pencil, love?”

Part Two || Masterlist

Pairings: College!Roger x Reader

Word Count: 3.2k

Warnings: None!

A/N: My darlings!! Your love for part one was so encouraging; I’m so glad you enjoyed it! This part is a little dialogue-heavy, but I think it’s v cute. My update schedule is nonexistent, so I don’t know when part three will be up, but I promise I’m working hard on it! I hope you like part two! ♥

The minutes ticked by painfully slowly through your next two classes. Though you took thorough notes, hardly anything you wrote down registered with you. You promised yourself you’d have a real look-over later that night, but currently you were too distracted by thoughts of the slowly-but-steadily approaching coffee date.

Your initial excitement hadn’t worn off, but it had started to become outshone by an ever-increasing nervousness. You hadn’t thought when getting ready this morning that you would be going on a date, and you fussed with the pleats of your knee-length peasant dress, wondering if he liked it. It didn’t really matter, since he’d already seen you in it this morning and you hadn’t given yourself time to change into anything else before you were supposed to meet him, but you still worried. Honestly, what was a guy like him doing asking out a girl like you? He could have any girl he wanted.

None of your worrying could change the fact that he’d asked you out, though, and eventually you packed up your notes from your last class and headed towards the library. There was a café frequented by most of the students at Imperial College London right across the street, and you usually popped in to get a cup before you went to study in the book stacks. You wondered if you’d be the first to arrive, or if he would already be there. You felt your heartbeat start to jump higher and higher the closer you got to the café.

As you came up to the door of the quaint little coffee shop, you gave yourself a second to compose yourself and not show outwardly the panic and excitement that were warring for dominance in your chest. You caught your reflection in the window; you looked fine, a little nervous, perhaps, but ultimately as good as you could have hoped. You tucked a stubborn curl behind your ear and opened the door.

You saw him almost immediately, back to you, blue shirt stretched over his broad shoulders as he leaned on the counter and talked to a man standing catty-corner to him. You didn’t want to interrupt their conversation, so you hung back, waiting until Roger turned around so you could get his attention.

The man Roger was talking to glanced over at you; he nudged Roger’s shoulder and nodded towards you. Roger turned, smiling when he caught sight of you.

“Y/N,” he said happily as you came over. “Right on time.”

“You did say not to be late,” you reminded him.

He grinned. “So I did.” He motioned to the man standing next to him. “This is my mate Brian. Brian, this is Y/N.”

Brian smiled at you and held out his hand. “Pleasure to meet you, Y/N.”

“And you,” you said, shaking his hand. He was taller than Roger, with dark, soft curls and brown eyes.

“We’re in a band together,” Roger supplied.

You looked to him in wonder. “Really? What band?”

“It’s called Smile,” Roger said, flashing you a smirk that left you no doubt that he used that line all the time.

“Yeah, because Roger here is studying to be a dentist,” Brian teased.

Roger’s smirk faded. “I was gonna leave that bit out for the moment, mate, until she though I was a bit cooler, but thanks.”

You laughed. “Dental school is great,” you said. “Very up-and-coming.”

“Yeah, well, Brian wants to study space dust for a living,” Roger said. “Which is kind of even less cool than dentistry.”

“I’ll have you know that astrophysics is very cool, Roger Taylor,” Brian said, unruffled. “Plenty of girls think it’s very rock n’ roll.”

“Space dust?” Roger asked, doubtful.

“Well, maybe not space dust, per se,” Brian admitted. “But they do like that I know all the constellations. What can you do, tell them to floss every day?”

You laughed. You liked Brian, and you could see why girls would like to lay under the stars with him and have him point out constellations. Roger didn’t seem to upset by his friend’s ribbing, and you could tell they were good mates.

“Don’t you have a class to get to, Mr. Astrophysics?” Roger asked. Brian grinned.

“Yeah, actually. Sorry I can’t hang about and let Y/N know what you’re really like.” He grabbed a stack of books from the counter. “Don’t forget they moved us to 7, so we’ll need to be there by 6:30.”

“I got it, I got it,” Roger said, waving his friend off. “Tim’s the one you need to remind.”

“You should invite Y/N to come,” Brian suggested.

“Yes, thank you,” Roger said, lightly shoving his friend towards the door. “I’ve got it covered.”

Brian smiled at you. “It was nice meeting you, Y/N.”

You smiled back. “You too, Brian.” Roger watched as Brian left, his expression affectionately exasperated.

“A real charmer, that one, isn’t he?” Roger said.

“What did he mean about inviting me tonight?” you asked. “Not that you have to,” you added quickly.

“No, it’s alright,” he assured you. “I was going to anyway. We’re booked to play the Rose and Crown tonight.”

“Smile?” you asked.

“Yeah,” he said. “I mean, we’re not bad, you know, you might like it. You don’t have to come, of course, but it’d be great if you did.”

You smiled. “I’d love to,” you said, all plans to go over your notes later that night forgotten. “When should I be there?”

He considered this. “Oh, maybe 6:45-ish? If you want to get a spot close to the front? And that way I could have a chance to see you before we go on.”

“I’ll be there,” you promised. “What kind of music do you play?”

“Rock n’ roll,” he said confidently, a hint of pride in his voice. “Real Led Zeppelin-type stuff.”

“I don’t know that much about Led Zeppelin,” you admitted.

He put his hand to his chest and feigned like he’d been shot. “Bloody hell, sweetheart. Tell me it isn’t true.”

You giggled. “I’m afraid so.”

“Oh, man, I’ve got to show you their album sometime,” he enthused. “The way Bonham starts out real subtle and jazzy on ‘How Many More Times’, and then about thirty or so seconds in, he just goes wild on the ride cymbal and starts in on the toms and drives the whole song along...” He seemed to notice he was rambling and cut himself off with a bashful smile. “Anyway, he’s a really great drummer.”

“Are you a drummer too?” you asked, endeared to his enthusiasm.

You could have sworn he blushed. “Not anywhere as good as Bonham,” he said, “but yeah. Brian plays guitar, and Tim’s on bass guitar. He’s also our lead singer.”

“Do you sing at all?”

He shrugged. “Sure, sometimes, for backup.”

“Well, I’m excited to see you play tonight,” you told him. “You can teach me what real rock n’ roll is like.”

He inclined his head in a bow. “I consider it an honor to be your guide into the wonderful world of rock music, my lady.” He looked back up at you. “I’ve just realized I’ve never asked if you wanted a drink. I apologize.”

“Oh, no,” you said, blushing, flattered at his apology. “I’m fine, thank you.”

He raised a brow. “You’re sure? This is technically a coffee date, remember.”

“Right,” you said. “Um, a cappuccino would be lovely, thank you.”

He looked pleased that you’d allowed him to get you something. “Coming right up.”

You waited by the counter as he ordered cappuccinos for both of you; a few minutes later, he brought them over and handed one to you.

“There you are, love,” he said.

You took a sip of the hot drink and was glad you’d let him get it for you. “Thank you. For buying, I mean.”

“My pleasure,” he said. “I did ask you out, after all. Shall we find a seat?”

You followed him to a two-person table by the window and sat across from him, noticing how golden his hair looked in the light of the afternoon sun.

“So, what’s your story?” he asked, studying your face with a gentle kind of curiosity.

You smiled. “What do you want to know?”

“Anything you’d like to tell me,” he said easily. “For instance, what are you studying?”

“History,” you said. “I think. I’m taking a lot of history classes, anyway.”

“So you’re in the chemistry class just for the requirement?” he guessed.

“Yeah,” you agreed. “I’m afraid I’m going to fail, though - I’ve always been horrible at science.”

“I don’t believe you could be horrible at anything,” he said sweetly. You blushed.

“You’re very sweet,” you said, “but you don’t know how bad my grades were in my high school science class.”

He leaned back in his chair, draping his arm over the back of it. “I could always help you out, you know,” he said. “I’ve had to take loads of chemistry classes to qualify for medical school. I’m not a mastermind, but I could show you a few tricks.”

“That would be great, actually,” you said sincerely. “Thank you. And - ” You pulled his pen from your bag. “I’ll try to remember to bring my own when we study.”

He cracked a surprised smile. “I was only joking earlier, you really can keep it,” he said. “One less pen seems a small price to pay for getting to know you.”

You couldn’t help the shy smile that his words brought out. He certainly did know how to make a girl feel good about herself.

“Well, thank you,” you said, putting the pen back. “I’ll cherish it forever.”

He laughed, dimples showing in his cheeks. “You’d better.”

You took a sip of your coffee, mostly to hide behind while you recovered from how very much you wanted to kiss those dimples.

“So you’re from America, right?” he asked.

You raised a brow. “However did you come to such an astute observation?” you asked in your best posh British accent. He rewarded you with an amused smile.

“What part of America?” he asked.

“Virginia,” you said. “It’s right on the east coast, kind of in the middle between Maine and Florida.”

“Why’d you decide to study here, then?” he asked. “No schools that fit your fancy back home?”

“I’m actually with an exchange program,” you said. “I technically go to the University of Virginia still.”

“So you’re only here for this term?” You wondered if you were reading too much into it or if he really did sound disappointed.

“No, I’m here for the whole year,” you said, trying to gauge his reaction, but you didn’t need to. His broad smile was plain as day on his face.

“That’s great,” he said. “I mean, that you don’t have to just be here for a few months. You can’t really fit the whole London experience into one term. Are you going back to Virginia for the holidays?”

“I am,” you said. “It’ll be nice to see everybody.”

“Any special chaps back home?” he asked.

Your heartbeat jumped. “No. No one special.”

He leaned his forearms on the table and studied your face, a smirk playing across his own. “I bet you’re a heartbreaker, aren’t you?”

Your laugh was a little embarrassed. “No way. I think you’re projecting.”

“Me?” he asked, playfully incredulous. “So you think I’m the one breaking hearts up and down the isle, do you?”

“Oh, I know you are.”

He leaned back in his chair again and looked at you with amusement in his pretty features. “Well, I won’t deny it,” he said. “But where’s the fun without a little risk?”

You frowned. “Getting your heart broken isn’t exactly a walk in the park.”

He gave you a knowing look. “There was a special chap, wasn’t there?”

“Was being the operative word here,” you reminded him as he took a sip of his coffee. “It didn’t really count, anyway, because he didn’t even know I liked him. I don’t even know if you can qualify me as a person who’s had their heart broken because I’ve never even been on a real date before.”

Roger almost choked on his coffee. “What?”

His surprise amused you. “It’s true.”

“You are joking, aren’t you?” he asked, genuinely surprised. “You mean to tell me that this is the first date you’ve ever been on in your whole entire life?”

You blushed. When he put it that way...

He ran a hand over his face. “Well, that really puts the pressure on me, now doesn’t it?”

“What do you mean?”

He bit his lip. “I mean, I’ve got to make this one really good. If it’s your first one ever.”

“You’re doing a pretty good job so far,” you told him, endeared to his concern.

“You’re not just saying that?”

You laughed. “No, I really mean it. I’m glad my first date is with you.”

“It’s probably the best first-date experience you could have hoped for,” he teased.

“Oh, definitely,” you agreed. If only he knew how right he was. “And since you’re going to be a fixture in my memory even when I’m old and gray and telling my granddaughters what my first date was like, I think it’s time I got to ask you some questions.”

“Ask away,” he said easily. “Though we’ve pretty much covered everything already.”

You gave him a doubtful look. “So the only thing there is to know about you is that you’re studying dentistry and you play drums for a band called Smile?”

“Basically, yeah.”

“I refuse to accept that,” you said. “There’s got to be other things a girl should know before getting tangled up with a guy like you.”

He raised a brow as the ghost of a smirk crossed his face. “Tangled up, eh?”

You blushed. “I only meant - ”

He chuckled, easing your embarrassment. “I know, I’m sorry. Continue. What kind of things would you like to know?”

You met his eyes; they were more green than you had remembered. “What’s your favorite color?”

“I don’t have one,” he said with certainty.

You frowned. “There’s not one color you like more than the others?”

“No,” he said. “I like all of them equally.”

You huffed. “Well, do you have a favorite food?”

He looked amused at your slight frustration. “Anything Japanese.”

“What’s your favorite movie?”

He didn’t have a lightning-fast answer for that one. “Oh, let me think on that one for a second.” He tilted his head back, as if looking to the ceiling to remind him of what his favorite film was; you took the opportunity to appreciate the view of his jawline and the steady pulse under it. Before you could get too distracted, though, Roger’s attention was back on you.

“I’ve got it. Have you seen that movie that just came out last year, 2001: A Space Odyssey?”

You shook your head. “I heard it was weird.”

“It was,” he agreed. “But in a good way. What else?”

You thought for a minute. “Hmm... what’s your middle name?”

“Meddows,” he said. “Roger Meddows Taylor.”

You considered him. “Meddows,” you repeated. “It’s pretty. It suits you.”

You thought you saw his cheeks redden a bit. “Thanks. What’s yours?”

“Y/M/N,” you told him. “Not nearly as unique as yours.”

“It’s lovely, though,” he said. “Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”

It was your turn to blush. “Oh, hush,” you said. “Go on, ask me a question before you say anything else entirely untrue.”

He asked you what kind of music you listened to, and from there you spent the next two hours asking each other things and talking about anything and everything. He was funny and easy to talk to; being with Roger was easily the most fun you’d had since coming to Imperial College London. Some part of you wondered if this was all a game to him, if he was having fun in the moment but had no intention of following up with you after you parted ways. You ignored that cynical part of you and decided to just enjoy spending time with him for now, irresistibly drawn to the boyish charm, laid-back confidence, and surprisingly gentle sincerity you found in him.

Besides, he’d invited you to his show that night, so at least the spell would remain unbroken until then. You supposed it was his right to never see you again - though you suspected that wouldn’t be the case - but at least you had tonight. You were fairly glowing from his attention, and you were going to enjoy it while it lasted.

Just when you’d come to an impasse in your argument over who was the most attractive Beatle - “Paul’s too, I dunno, cute. George was a real stunner in the early days, though.” - Roger’s gaze caught on your watch and he cocked his head to be able to read it.

“Bloody hell, is that the time?” he asked.

You checked your watch; it was already past 6. You searched his face, mildly panicked.

“You’d better go,” you said. “You don’t want to be late.”

“Yeah,” he agreed as he stood. You followed suit. “Brian already thinks I’m incapable of getting places on time.”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “D’you want to, um, just come with me now? I mean, you’d be getting there earlier than you thought, but it might be easier. We’d just be setting up for the show. And I can take you back to your flat after.”

“Sure,” you agreed, going through the door he held open for you. You didn’t mind spending more time with him. “Thank you.”

“My van’s just over there,” he said as you walked, indicating the student parking lot by the library. “It’s not exactly a boy racer, but it gets the job done.”

“Would you be disappointed if I told you I don’t know what a boy racer is?” you asked.

He laughed. “Yeah, I’m absolutely gutted. This whole date’s been a waste now,” he teased. “No, ah, a boy racer is a kind of sports car that’s got a lot of modifications. I think Americans call them hot rods?”

“Oh, yeah,” you said, rubbing your arms against the chill of the light breeze. “That makes sense. Some of the guys at my high school were into hot-rod racing. I always thought it was kind of dangerous.”

“It’s really cool, though, you’ve got to admit.” He looked over at you. “You cold, love?”

“A little,” you said. “But it’s no big deal.”

“Here,” he said, shrugging off his denim overshirt and leaving a red tee underneath. He held the overshirt out for you, and you gratefully put it on over your dress.

“Can’t have you catching cold,” he said.

You gave him a bashful smile. “Thank you.” His shirt was warm and smelled like him, kind of sweet and smoky.

He opened the passenger door of his van for you when you reached it.

“Your carriage awaits, my lady,” he said gallantly, flourishing his hand. You giggled. Between his shirt tucked around you and the smile on his face at your laughter, you did feel like royalty. You didn’t know what could have made such a sweet and charming boy like Roger Meddows Taylor want to take you out, but at the moment, you didn’t really care. It was only you and Roger and the Beatles’ new single “Hey Jude” on the radio of his van, both of you singing at the top of your lungs. You couldn’t imagine any girl had ever had a better first date.

BOO!    guess who?    fancy a little crucio

Was that [HELENA BONHAM CARTER]? Oh no no, that was just [BELLATRIX LESTRANGE], a/an [CANON CHARACTER] from [HARRY POTTER]. They are [FORTY SEVEN] years old and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long. {ooc: jo, twenty, gmt, she/her}

bad things happen when you spend an entire day walking around with your bellatrix lestrange wand,    pretending that your cat is the fox bellatrix avada kedavra-d in book six.         (  me applying as bella is the bad thing )

I’m jo btw and if you don’t know who bellatrix lestrange is, go read or watch anything harry potter related.

how long has your character been here?

bella has been around for around a week. long enough for her to consider killing a few thousand muggles.  she’s literally in her own private hell right now 

what is your character's job?

getting a job is not something she’s really considered. there is no way she’d ever do a mundane muggle job.   bc she hates muggles & who would hire someone with that smile? i love her but the babe needs to see a dentist asap. 

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

so this version of bellatrix is a mixed bag of book & film. mostly she’s the same in each but the minor differences are, unlike the book she did still set fire to the weasley’s house & was on the astronomy tower ( because the film gave bella more stuff to do in no.6) but unlike the film she did NOT explode.  ( wtf was that pls @ warner bros. )  she’s been pulled from death. literally. has no idea that voldemort is gone or who survived. i would not want to be the person that broke the news to her.

she remembers molly weasley killing her.

also cursed child did not happen. thank you hidden washington for banning delphini. just no. 

has any magic affected your character?

magic at the hands of the dementors of azkaban who sucked out the last shreds of her sanity?  yes. magic at the hand of washington dc? no. 

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know!!

mmkay,   so this is my first time playing bellatrix. it was a very spontaneous decision bc this bitch called dylan forced me. she can’t live w/o me.  please bear w/ me and bellatrix. she’s probably going to be running round with a sour face bc ew muggles. she should warm up to people eventually...

maybe....

jk she’s gonna have the worst time in her life. 

also i’ll post a starter tomorrow when the 24 hour new blog thing lets me show up in the tags.
