starting anew after fleeing twitter. here’s what to know.

i’m a multifandom fanfic writer. i was on ffn but lost it all in 2012 when ffn purged its content.

fandoms i wrote for are buffy (buffy/spike), thg (peeta/katniss, finnick/annie), and wednesday (tyler/wenday).

i make moodboards too but i’m busy with school so may take some time if you make a request.

my fics do contain smut so if it isn’t your thing please scroll past.

i do not want to be involved in anyones drama.

was posting on twitter for a while but the post limit was too difficult to circumnavigate and there was too much fandom drama.

into aesthetics and pretty pictures so i reblog them a lot because i’m a magpie and want to keep them.

i’m just here for the ride.

In MEMORY of RUTGER HAUER on his BIRTHDAY - (January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019)

Career years: 1969 - his death

Born Rutger Oelsen Hauer, Dutch actor. In 1999, he was named by the Dutch public as the Best Dutch Actor of the Century.

Hauer's career began in 1969 with the title role in the Dutch television series Floris and surged with his leading role in Turkish Delight (1973), which in 1999 was named the Best Dutch Film of the Century. After gaining international recognition with Soldier of Orange (1977) and Spetters (1980), he moved into American films such as Nighthawks (1981) and Blade Runner (1982), starring in the latter as self-aware replicant Roy Batty. His performance in Blade Runner led to roles in The Osterman Weekend (1983), Ladyhawke (1985), The Hitcher (1986), The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988), and Blind Fury (1989), among other films.

From the 1990s on, Hauer moved into low-budget films, and supporting roles in major films like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Batman Begins (2005), Sin City (2005), and The Rite (2011). Hauer also became well known for his work in commercials. Towards the end of his career, he made a return to Dutch cinema, and won the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor in recognition of his lead role in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011).

Hauer supported environmentalist causes and was a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He also founded the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association, an AIDS awareness organization. He was made a knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 2013.

Early life -

Hauer was born in Breukelen, in the Province of Utrecht, while the Netherlands was under German occupation during World War II. He stated in a 1981 interview, "I was born in the middle of the war, and I think for that reason I have deep roots in pacifism. Violence frightens me." His parents were Teunke (née Mellema) and Arend Hauer, both actors who operated an acting school in nearby Amsterdam. He had three sisters. According to Hauer, his parents were more interested in their art than their children. He did not have a close relationship with his father, and writer Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema later became a father figure to Hauer after they met during the filming of Soldier of Orange.

Hauer attended a Rudolf Steiner school, as his parents wanted him to develop his creativity. At the age of 15, he left school to join the Dutch merchant navy. He spent a year travelling the world aboard a freighter, but was unable to become a captain due to his colourblindness. Returning home, he worked odd jobs while finishing his high school diploma at night. He then entered the Academy for Theater and Dance in Amsterdam for acting classes, but soon dropped out to join the Royal Netherlands Army. He received training as a combat medic, but left the service after a few months as he opposed the use of deadly weapons. He subsequently returned to acting school and graduated in 1967.

Career:

Early works -

Hauer had his first acting role at the age of 11, as Eurysakes in the play Ajax. After graduating from the Academy for Theater and Dance, he became a stage actor with the Toneelgroep Noorder Compagnie. Hauer made his screen debut in 1969 when Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the television series Floris, a Dutch medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country, and Hauer reprised his role for the 1975 German remake Floris von Rosemund.

Hauer's career changed course when Verhoeven cast him in Turkish Delight (1973), which received an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film. The film found box office favour abroad and at home, and Hauer looked to appear in more international films. Within two years, Hauer made his English-language debut in the British film The Wilby Conspiracy (1975). Set in South Africa, the film was an action-drama with a focus on apartheid. Hauer's supporting role, however, was barely noticed in Hollywood, and he returned to Dutch films for several years. During this period, he made Katie Tippel (1975) and worked again with Verhoeven on Soldier of Orange (1977), and Spetters (1980). These two films paired Hauer with fellow Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé. At the 1981 Netherlands Film Festival, Hauer received the Golden Calf for Best Actor for his overall body of work.

American breakthrough -

Hauer made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone film Nighthawks (1981) as a psychopathic and cold-blooded terrorist named Wulfgar. With his sights set on a long-term career in Hollywood, Hauer worked with an accent coach in the early 1980s to develop a convincing American accent. Unafraid of controversial roles, he portrayed Albert Speer in the 1982 American Broadcasting Company production Inside the Third Reich. The same year, Hauer appeared in arguably his most famous and acclaimed role as the eccentric and violent but sympathetic antihero Roy Batty in Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction thriller Blade Runner, in which he delivered the famous tears in rain monologue. Hauer composed parts of the monologue the evening prior to filming, "cutting away swathes of the original script before adding the speech’s poignant final line". He went on to play the adventurer courting Theresa Russell in Eureka (1983), investigative reporter opposite John Hurt in The Osterman Weekend (1983), hardened mercenary Martin in Flesh & Blood (1985), and knight paired with Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke (1985).

He appeared in The Hitcher (1986), in which he played a mysterious hitchhiker tormenting a lone motorist and murdering anyone in his way. He received the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the television film Escape from Sobibor. At the height of Hauer's fame, he was set to be cast as RoboCop (1987), but Verhoeven, the film's director, considered his frame as too large to move comfortably in the character's suit. Also in 1987, Hauer starred as Nick Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive as the descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name.

In 1988, he played a homeless man in Ermanno Olmi's The Legend of the Holy Drinker. This performance won Hauer the Best Actor award at the 1989 Seattle International Film Festival. Hauer was chosen to portray a blind martial artist superhero in Phillip Noyce's action film Blind Fury (1989). He initially struggled with the implausibility of the character, but learned to "unfocus my eyes, to react to smells and sounds" after meeting with blind judo practitioner Lynn Manning during his research for the role. Hauer returned to science fiction in 1989 with The Blood of Heroes, in which he played a gladiator in a post-apocalyptic world.

Commercials and later roles -

By the 1990s, Hauer was well known for his humorous Guinness commercials as well as his screen roles, which had increasingly involved low-budget films, such as Split Second (1992); The Beans of Egypt, Maine (1994); Omega Doom (1996) and New World Disorder (1999). In 1992, he appeared in the horror-comedy film Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the main antagonist vampire Lothos. He also appeared in the Kylie Minogue music video "On a Night Like This" (2000). During this time, Hauer acted in several British, Canadian and American television productions, including Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight (1994) as Earhart's navigator Fred Noonan, Fatherland (1994), Hostile Waters (1997), The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon (1997), Merlin (1998), The 10th Kingdom (2000), Smallville (2003), Alias (2003), and Salem's Lot (2004).

Hauer played an assassin in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2003), a villainous cardinal with influential power in Sin City (2005) and a devious corporate executive running Wayne Enterprises in Batman Begins (2005). Also in 2005, he played the title role in Patrick Lussier's film Dracula III: Legacy. Seven years later, he portrayed the vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. Hauer hosted the British reality television documentary Shock Treatment in 2005, and featured in Goal II: Living the Dream (2007) as Real Madrid coach Rudi Van der Merwe. He also recorded voice-overs for the British advertising campaign for the Danish butter brand Lurpak.

In 2008, Hauer received the Golden Calf Culture Prize for his contributions to Dutch cinema. The award recognised his work as an actor as well as his efforts to aid the development of young filmmakers and actors, through initiatives such as the Rutger Hauer Film Factory. In 2009, his role in avant-garde filmmaker Cyrus Frisch's Dazzle received positive reviews; it was described in Dutch press as "the most relevant Dutch film of the year". The same year, Hauer starred in the title role of Barbarossa, an Italian film directed by Renzo Martinelli. In April 2010, he was cast in the live action adaptation of the short and fictitious Grindhouse trailer Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). Hauer played Freddie Heineken in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011), for which he received the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor. Also in 2011, Hauer appeared in the supernatural horror film The Rite as an undertaker named Istvan, the protagonist's father.

From 2013 to 2014, Hauer featured as Niall Brigant in HBO's True Blood. In 2015, he starred as Ravn in The Last Kingdom and as Kingsley in Galavant. In 2016, he joined the film jury for ShortCutz Amsterdam, an annual film festival promoting short films in Amsterdam. Hauer voiced the role of Daniel Lazarski in the 2017 video game Observer, set in post-apocalyptic Poland. Lazarski is a member of a special elite police unit that can hack into minds and interact with memories within. Hauer also provided the voice of Xehanort in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, replacing the late Leonard Nimoy and was himself replaced by Christopher Lloyd following his death.

Personal life -

Hauer was married twice:

Hauer and his first wife, Heidi Merz, produced Hauer’s only child, Aysha Hauer (born 1966). An actress, she gave birth to Hauer's grandson in 1987.

Hauer was with his second wife, Ineke ten Cate, from 1968, and they married in a private ceremony on 22 November 1985. Cate was the daughter of Laurens ten Cate, the editor-in-chief of the Friesland-based newspaper Leeuwarder Courant.

Although born in Utrecht, Hauer had strong links to Friesland. He once stated in an interview with the Algemeen Dagblad that he "needed to feel the Frisian clay under his feet".

Hauer was an environmentalist. He supported the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and was a member of its board of advisors. He also established an AIDS awareness organization called the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

In April 2007, he published his autobiography, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners (co-written with Patrick Quinlan), in which he discussed many of his acting roles. Proceeds from the book go to the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

Death -

Hauer died at his home in Beetsterzwaag, following a short illness. He was 75 years old. A private funeral service was held on 24 July. On 23 January 2020, which would have been Hauer's 76th birthday, a ceremony was held in Beetsterzwaag in his honour. Attendees included Sharon Stone, Miranda Richardson, Diederik van Rooijen, and Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven.

❛ I wish I’d done this before. ❜ / buffy + jax!

"Yeah, because you definitely would have done this of your own accord without me bullying you. Don't be sassy. Now hold still--" Buffy chuckles from her position sat straddled on the older mans lap, lifting his chin upwards so she as a better angle for visuals as she carefully applies the clay mask around his eyes and the lines of his facial hair.

"I know you have that rugged-blue collar-silver-fox thing going for you -- and trust me, it's working -- but your lack of skin care is starting to hurt my feelings."

[lorettaelizabethretired]

It would be a lie for Buffy to say that she was completely apologetic for the way she had behaved during the carnival, but there were definitely parts of it that she felt bad about. For instance -- Did she regret that she had called Wolfgang a irreparable twat? No. Did she now realize that the name calling and ass-whooping she had fully intended on doling out would have been better saved for a more ‘meet me in the parking lot’ type of setting as opposed to a charity event? Yes, absolutely.

The only apology she had in mind was for the man whose hold had stopped her from flinging her small body at Wolfgang; the man whose son she had been threatening in line for face painting. The one guy who the thought of having him be mad at her made it hard for her to sleep -- so she hovered in front of Ajax’s apartment door. 

Buffy took a long breath, chewing her lower lip and knocking on the door in a quick rhythm before she lost her nerve. She hoisted up the bottle covered by a brown paper bag to her chest, thinking maybe if he was considering her through the peephole and didn’t find her presence alone enticing enough perhaps the bottle would convince him. 

“Hey, boss?” her voice calls carefully as she steps closer to the door. “It’s me. Open up?”

what if we were lovers on opposite sides of a war but during our ultimate final battle for the fate of the world i used the last of my reality bending powers to fake our deaths and warp us away so we could live out the rest of our lives as wanderers but then our ghost son found us and now we have to deal with the consequences of our actions (and we were both boys)

Debating on doing a CRB project when I retire my current king but I'm not 100% sure. I'd like to sell some buffies/scrotes and get some GB to fund it but I'd also like to hoard that shit

My Ajax project is literally almost done I just need to make the custom lioness when my heir is 2 y/o because I want them to be the same age- It wasn't a hard project, but it was nice for a "getting back into the swing of playing Lioden again" sort of project since my mass NCL breeding is taking a break for February

(in game Jasper's probably happy to not have 50 cubs running around at any given time)

but once the new Jasper is kinged then I'm assigning myself the "Keep note of the mass NCL breeding and throw the resulting cubs in a google doc" job again- I know I did it at one point (Maybe during Mr. Loverman's reign? I think I remember keeping track of primals and bobbed tails and primal fangs) all I know is I got burnt the fuck out after ~130 cubs.

last minute shitty graphic is shitty! but happy valentines day to everyone whether you’re single or have someone special in your life! i’d like to dedicate this one to my lovely rp partners and the amazing romantic and non-romantic ships you bring me! here’s to a great v day for our ships! and to ourselves of course. ((if i forgot a ship we have, let me know and i’ll add you to this list to tell you what our muses did today!!)) ❣️

@graveiary girl i bet nate & elena are having the most corniest valentines day ever. he’s probably made her breakfast in bed but it wasn’t that great bc he doesn’t cook well. then took her shopping, a walk through the park, ice skating, and then a super romantic dinner on a balcony. and of course, steamy sex with rose petals everywhere. lbr nate loves her sm. happy v day honey!

@cloningfailure ok lbh, ajax is probably using this day to try and make it up to sarah for something shitty he’s done to her. he keeps delivering bouquet after bouquet all day until she gets supet annoyed and catches him one time leaving roses on her porch and throws all the bouquets he’s gotten for her down to him from her bedroom window and he’s just like WHY SARAH I LOVE YOU STOP BEING SO SODDING MEAN TO ME! but he doesn’t give up bc he’s stubborn af. anyway happy v day!

@altarofmyego michael and david are definitely competing for rosaline’s affection today lbr. they’re trying to constantly one up each other with every gift they give her and they’re totally different each time. like michael brings her a puppy and then david brings a hot male model for her to eat like ??? they’re stupid. but love her. happy v day!!!!

@quotesravens caroline is definitely expecting something huge from damon today but at the same time isn’t lol. they probably order in from somewhere and spend all day poking fun at each other but end up fighting about something then having angry but cute valentines day sex. they’re dumb and married. happy v day!!!!!!!

@slayvicr angel knows he can’t do much for buffy because of the way things are between them but he has a bouquet of roses and a box of her favorite chocolates sent her with a cheesy 1800s love poem attached to it just to make her smile. <3 happy v day!

@rosefromdeath klaus definitely knows how to do romance. he took her to a garden and let her pick out whatever flowers she wanted and then cooked her a super delicious and romantic dinner and obviously painted something for her. not huge but a small canvas that represents how much he truly appreciates her help and her in general. <3 happy v day hon!

@mysticalquinnfabray tyler is definitely trying HARD to make it up to quinn this year. he’s gotten out all the playing cards. he took her baby shopping and let her pick the crib they’re going to have for their little girl. and he takes her out to a great dinner and movie and offers her a bouquet of flowers. but he doesn’t have sex with her but only kisses her and gives her a massage bc he doesn’t want to rush anything between them since he’s still making it up to her <3 happy v day!

prompt: “ okay no — i can’t handle the way they keep staring at you. ”  from: jax to buffy [ @sinsoakedsaints​ ]

“What?”

Buffy’s voice is indignant, but there’s a good-humored laughter in it as she turns to look at Jax. 

“You’re the one who told me to wear this dress,” she reminds him with an arched brow and a lift of her chin as she looks over his face. 

The silk black dress does, admittedly, leave very little to the imagination when it comes to clues to how her form is shaped beneath it. With the high slit along the leg and the plunge in the neckline, she can understand why people are looking. That was kind of the point of it. 

However, when she remembers that many of the men in the room are former clients of hers, it’s easier to understand why Jax had become suddenly territorial. 

Buffy reaches for his arm and pulls it around her waist so it can rest against the small of her back -- a bit lower than what’s probably polite in public, but she’s beyond caring about what others think of them. 

“You’re the one who gets to take me out of this dress later. No other sorry asshole in this room can say that.”
