#can we talk about the reshoot hair

[nsfwruru]

pussydrunk manon from katseye x reader??

idol!manon x surfer!reader

oh my days brother, just think about how much of a fiend she is when it comes to surfer!reader she met while filming the music video for “debut” in Columbia. like she leaves abruptly during her part of the MV, just so she can be between your legs. just absolutely devoting her time to you— oh and don’t you worry that won’t be the last time!

cw: obvious smut (r!receiving, cunnilingus, semi!public sex, foul mouth reader, fingering), porn with some plot, fem!reader, reader is somewhat a tan queen, reader is a Spanish speaker, not proofread

There was just something about you to Manon, it wasn’t anything extraordinary, you just happen to catch her eyes constantly, maybe it was the Columbia air, or something about you just looked so good. Even when her other members tried to snap her attention off of the beach where you stood, zipping up your wetsuit ready for another casual surf on the beach, Manon was unable to pull her gaze away.

It had been about maybe, 6 even 7 reshoots of one specific part, give or take, where she constantly messed up her part of the choreography, because she was still hung up on you. At every moment she got, she trailed your body as you came out of the sea soaking wet, your hair damp, and your skin glistening, it made her miss every single beat. Truly, it wasn’t until her leader, Sophia, had quite literally knocked her to her senses, for her to actually get her part right. It was so bad to the point Sophia had to pry Manon away from the camera’s to scold her, telling her that if she didn’t get her act up, that someone would have to eventually cut her out of the MV.

“Come on’ Manon. We are all trying here, so whatever is going on with you and the beach you keep looking at— just get it together alright? You know what, just take 5’ alright, get your thoughts together, and then we’ll call you over okay?” Sophia spoke sullenly, it was clear to Manon that her poor leader was exhausted, and it made her conclude that there was only one way to solve this issue! If she were to be able to talk to that person who’s been catching her attention for hours at this point, maybe she’ll forget about the whole ordeal and focus.

Biting the bullet, and reassuring herself that she would miss all the shots she doesn’t take, she scurried her way over towards the beach. Searching around to see your figure whom was walking out of the communal showers after getting out of your wetsuit, and your regular dry clothes, it was apparent you were about to leave. Manon, who had no intention of letting such a bronze beauty go, pounced over to you, her face lighting up when she inched ever so closely.

“Ah wait— you! You there!” She called out, pointing her hands over to you as she ran closer, of course, since you really just came here to surf, you where taken aback by such a beautiful woman strutting her way over to your vicinity. “Ay— I mean… Tú ahí! Ven aquí!” The woman spoke in her very clearly broken Spanish.

Pointing at yourself, you looked around the area to see if she was referring to anyone else, but it was mostly likely directed at you as it seemed like she was running towards you. “Ah, me? You…you’re talking to me?” Manon nodded at your inquiry when she finally caught up to you, with your surfboard still gripped in one hand, and your other equipment in one hand, you tried your best to wave back at her.

She was out of breath, like she ran a marathon, Manon let out a long winded sigh, before fixing herself up. “Oh you— you speak English!”

“Well yes, but may I ask why you’re calling for me? Did I forget something on the beach, mi meil?”

Manon, who was now dancing circles in her head, regrading her composure after being completely whipped for you, not wanting anything more, (not to be crude or anything) but to be between your legs right now. She doesn’t waste anytime, knowing that sooner or later she’d have to back on set filming the music video that quite frankly, she didn’t care about right now.

“No it’s uh, it’s not that. You’re just so stunning I couldn’t get my eyes off you for awhile now and…”

Abruptly cutting her off on that comment with a light chuckle, finding it quite humorous that’s all she had to say, but quite in awe at her lethal face card, you too, unknowingly didn’t want her to leave your sights so soon. “Well thank you so much pretty girl, I could say the some about you! So, you, your single?”

“Yea!— I mean, yes I am, why may you ask?”

“You look, interested in me? Ah I mean— sorry that may be wrong, but people here are very straightforward, so I assumed you may had intend the same.” You admitted, not wanting to come off as snarky or insensitive, but truly meaning no harm to your words. Luckily for you, Manon was an expert at picking up social cues, and somewhat understood what you were putting down.

“No your completely right, your gorgeous, I wanted to just get your number so like, I could have some way of contacting you. You catch my drift?”

See that’s how it started, it was innocent, and you hadn’t minded spending your time with a beautiful woman for a few days in a row because she could only stay in Columbia for so long. Everything was slow, until it wasn’t, from what began as a friendship turned out to be nothing but a way to relieve her stress after another day of shooting.

Manon was so sweet in the beginning, offering to bring you over to the set while she was filming, showing you the inside and outs of the music industry. Even letting you be a backgrounder for a main shot which included her and her other 5 members, always making it apparent that she wanted to be near you every waking moment. Which was both endearing and suspicious as you’ve only met her for maybe 5 days at maximum.

It was all friendly really until you offered to stay with her alone at the backstage during her one off break, where things truly took a turn. She had finished a shoot and wanted to have another lighthearted conversation with you, without all her nosy members butting in, which had lead you to be in the makeup room that was all the way in the back of the building the company she worked for rented.

Manon, who knew her time was limited with you, had grew tired of waiting for you to make the next move again, and wanted to hurry this up so she could regain into her focus once more. As you spoke about your tales at sea, and dangerous waves you conquered by sheer luck, you dismissed the way her hands slithered around your inner thigh.

You tried to wave it off like it was just your hormones talking, but sadly you were unable to deny the heaving in your chest as she brought her face closer towards yours. It wasn’t long until you were sitting on one of the vanity desk, pinning up against a mirror and Manon, kissing her lips hungrily like it was the first meal you’ve had in days. Both of your hungers consumed each other, as suddenly you allowed entrance of her tongue into your mouth, dancing with hers as fisted a bundle of her shirt.

She needed to feel every inch of you so badly, she wasn’t even trying to pry off your jeans as this point, she just swiftly slid her fingers to unbutton and unzip as best she can before gliding her fingers into your undergarments. She rubbed your bud for a bid, creating a decent amount of slick from her fingers. “Hah, you’re a lot more easy than I imagined you’d be.” Manon giggled to herself before prepping you for her fingers, slowly inserting two, in a very agonizing pace, almost as if she was teasing you.

Gripping onto her shoulders in a mix of discomfort and anticipation, she could’ve swore you were digging so far deep into her skin to either leave cute or dents from where you held yourself. She found the way you winced your eyes in pain almost like a spectacle to her, finding it more amusing as she slowly, but surely made her way into fucking both her index and middle finger into you.

The sounds of your moaning and squelching of her fingers gliding in and out of you so easy was music to her ears, she wanted to hear more, she needed to feel more. She quickened her pace at unbelievable speeds, being a dancer and singer really did something to her stamina and speed as she didn’t slow down one bit. Fucking her fingers into your delicious tightness, she didn’t know where to focus, whether it be the way your hips buckled and grinded to the rhythm of her fingers, or how your body arched more and more when you came undone. (Maybe even when your body writhed whenever you’d suck her fingers up so quickly.)

It was all too much, it would be an understatement if you said it was just good, “Yeah good girl baby, you can come.” She would whisper foul words just like that as she’d let you unravel yourself all over her digits, fucking you through your high continuously as she wanted to see how tour faced looked again while she fingered you towards your high.

But knowing her, that wasn’t enough, she needed more, to taste how delectable you were. Manon, who had the stamina of course, of a dancer, didn’t even let you calm down from your high as she slid her fingers out of you with a sharp pop, reaching over to her fingers seeing the mess you made all over her.

Putting her fingers into your mouth to muffle your quiet mewls, she brought her face down at your bud, and gave it gentle kitten licks. Loving the taste of you as you just finished, making it all the easier to taste you, as your hips buckled by the sensation of pain from the previous high, you tried connecting your thighs together to stop her from licking. To no avail as she dug her nails into your plush thighs and spreader you open once more.

It took her no time to eat you out as your gripped onto the edge of the vanity to form some sort of stability between the both of you. Grabbing her knotless boho braids, trying to pry her off of you gently, but not enough to mess up her newly done hair, knowing you’d be told off by her from how long she spent getting it done. You pleaded with her to stop as you felt tingly and it hurt a lot, and that you were sore or whatever.

“Wait— hah— Manon! Stop, I can’t—“

She had no regard for your soft feelings, her mind was absolutely drunk on the taste of your pussy, she needed every drop you could give her, and wasn’t leaving until she got what she wanted. Her tongue exploring the deeper into you, feeling like you were about to burst as she had no indication of stopping. She even went as far as to reach her hands out and cover your mouth with her index and middle finger, and rub your bud once more, letting you come undone quicker.

To her surprise it actually worked, she watched as your face twisted from sheer discomfort to immense euphoria, feeling like you where on cloud 9. The way her tongue swirled all around as she rubbed her thumb across your lower region, it was once again, all too much. Causing you to arch your back and release another wave of pleasure, this time atop her tongue.

She couldn’t believe the sight that was in front of her right now, pulling away from your sweet cum dripping cunt, she didn’t want to leave so soon. She wanted so much more, but noticing how the time flew by so quickly, she probably had maybe 2 minutes before Sophia, or maybe even Megan would burst inside and interrupt her. Finally deciding to pack it up as she left you a mess on the desk, picturing seeing you in different places with the same expression, she sighed as she spoke.

“Shit girl, you taste fucking good, I’ll meet you at your place after shooting. I can’t get enough of that.”

You nodded breathlessly at her comment before trying your best to put everything back onto your body, your legs in a complete state of soreness, comparably worse to when you first started surfing. She was amazing at what she did, and god did you both enjoy every single moment you got together before she had to go back to Korea.

god manon twin, I’m sorry if you ever have the indecency to ever see this😪 this was my most shameless moment I hope you forgive me anyways lol… i love tan!reader 😫😫

[iwasbored777]

Wait what?? What about the trailer scene being reanimated? I get all my atsv info from Tumblr and instagram only lmao

I wanted to make this comparison way earlier but I couldn't be bothered but your ask made me want to lol.

You know that iconic "are these your drawings" scene that became a meme ever since they released the first version? Nothing's wrong with changing stuff to make them better but I'm imagining these poor people who put their blood and sweat and tears to make it perfect only for directors to change their minds and go like "add more flirting, needs more flirting". Like LOOK at this:

The first version vs the final one (if the gif isn't loading just tap it, maybe it's just my internet connection idk but they're glitching for some reason here when I added them)

Sorry if the quality of the gifs isn't the best but it's visible enough. I think the difference is more than obvious. And God bless the second version! Gwen seemed so chill in the first version, she is more natural here, and they talk more and are playful with each other. Miles is equally confused here tho lmfao but this is my favourite change of the scene (THE HUG!!!! 😍😍😍😍)

These two:

Oh and the meme format. The amount of drawings in the second one killed me I was laughing my ass off in the theater 😂

(again hope that gifs are loading properly if not try tapping them)

Another thing that you can't unsee is how more confident Miles is when you compare the first version to the final one:

They added rizz thank heavens cuz he looked like he was afraid of her like why???

The dialogue had changes too, the stuff they talked about the toys were new and when she lands on the bed in the first gifs she tells Miles how he grew and he tells her her hair is pinker (is that he word he used?), they didn't have this in the first version. The whole "is Spider-Man grounded?" part when Gwen sits on the window - I think this part was the same, they didn't have to animate her part again (I hope) but they had to animate everything about Miles again in the same conversation. They had to redo at least 90% of the whole thing.

I just feel bad for everyone who had to do it all over again but this is way better, we can all agree on that. But it's not like this is the first movie that had reshoots or whatever you call it for animation.

I hope I got it all covered, tell me if I missed anything.

We are really that good? I'm scared off by the large number of couples. Is each of the couples sufficiently disclosed in the script? You're so excited about this show. I'm skeptical, but maybe I should try?

I MEAN. MUST A SHOW BE GOOD. IS IT NOT ENOUGH FOR IT TO SPARK JOY AND GIVE YOU A BRAINROT SO DEEP THEY HAVE TO GET YOU INVOLUNTARY COMMITTED BECAUSE OF IT

but all jokes aside, let's talk about it. when it comes to reviewing shows, i always try to be as honest and objective as i can, so im not just gonna lie to you and pretend we are is a masterpiece. it's very much not. if you enjoy plot driven stories then this series is very much not for you because the plot is basically non-existent, or rather.. all the different dynamics between the characters ARE the plot. to me the show is a slice of life in the connotation that's given to it in anime and manga: a narrative that takes place in a recognisable everyday setting, often in a school, and that focuses on interpersonal relationships. this isn't to say slice of life shows with a character driven story can't be masterpieces, they absolutely can, but we are is not..very refined, there are some things that do not make much sense to me and the way the story is told can be a bit frustrating at times, not to mention that for a director who likes to show a million angles of the same moment you'd think the editing would be top notch but it's just. it's not, okay, it looks like my hair after i chop it off over the bathroom sink at 2 am when i cannot sleep, that shit's ROUGH

all this being said, im still enjoying this show TREMENDOUSLY. and believe me, no one is more surprised about this than i am. tbh i can't quite explain to you why it works for me when other (maybe even better) shows don't, it just feels very genuine, the humor isn't over the top, the characters are all extremely likeable, and i love that they're giving the platonic relationships the same weight and importance as the romantic ones. and i mean..im mostly insane about phumpeem because apparently that's THEE Dynamic™ for me, but since there are four different pairings i feel like there's something for everyone

although when it comes to development, since you asked, i do want to point out that pondphuwin and winnysatang's pairings are clearly the main ones (before anyone comes at me, i do remember the cast saying this), but aouboom still get a fair amount of screentime and they're the heart of the show tbh. the only pair that's suffering in this regard is marcpoon, but honestly it makes sense considering they had to reshoot stuff

so, um. yeah ;;;;;; this is way too long and it's probably a mess but i wanted to give you an honest and complete overview so you know what you're getting yourself into if you do decide to give it a chance. i actually started to like the show more and more after episode 3, so maybe if you have a free evening you could just try it out and see if you can get into it!!!!!!

tl;dr: it's not a masterpiece and it has its shortcomings but it's highly enjoyable and although not all couples have the same amount of screentime and development i think everyone could find something to like in the show

Fears and Monsters

Pairing: Pedro Pascal x F!Reader

Warnings: You are the parents of a baby, mentions of the clickers, no spoilers for the series.

With a visit to The Last of Us set, you find out a little more about your daughter's fears.

Translations: Amor - Love / Princesa - Princess

No beta and english is not my native language, so please be nice!

Aurora's little legs were bouncing restlessly as soon as you got her out of the safety seat, if she could talk she would surely be thanking the heavens, a short four hour drive seemed like an eternity for a five month old baby.

The weekend was too boring, Pedro had spliced ​​some footage, which made him not see you for a little more than a week. You had talked to Neil, asking for a little time to visit the set and as he already knew who would be your companion, he accepted immediately.

"No way!" Bella's voice, still dressed as Ellie, echoed before you could actually see they. "I can't believe you two came."

"Just a quick visit, we couldn't stay home any longer." you replied, already handing little Aurora into Bella's arms, who seemed to be more anxious than the baby.

"And you... You've grown!" your daughter's laugh when she was squeezed by Bella made you laugh together, your presence already attracted some looks. "Are we going to find your old man?"

"Please." you asked, following the path. "How has the reshoots been?"

"Very calm. Well, they are simpler scenes, in Jackson, there is very little left to finish."

"This is great, I heard you saw a giraffe these days."

"My God! You should have seen it, she was so beautiful and calm, I swore their necks weren't even that huge."

"Pedro was also impressed, I needed to hear about it for a few days." even though Bella held Aurora tight, you kept a close eye. "I confess that maybe I got a little jealous."

A few meters walked and you were already entering Jackson's set. Most of the things there were practical effects, the little wooden houses, the horses in the stable. A handsome man in a shabby plaid flannel with disheveled hair. You could swear that the environment became even brighter when you saw him smile in your direction.

"My girls!" he came towards you, giving you a hug that took your feet off the ground. You could feel him bury his face in your neck and smell your perfume. "I missed you, amor."

"We miss you too." you replied as soon as he released you. It only took seconds for him to take Aurora from Bella's arms and shower her with kisses, barely pausing to breathe. Aurora was in that adorable phase where every gesture was a reason to laugh.

"You look so beautiful, my sweetheart." Pedro had entered a universe of his own, lost in love with his own daughter. "What do you think about taking a walk with Dad?"

"And then he says he's not a silly daddy." Bella commented to you, who immediately agreed, but it didn't go unnoticed by him.

"I'm not. She's just too cute." you could have sworn Pedro would melt right there when he saw the little girl put her little hands under his cheeks. "See? She agrees with me."

"This time we let it go." you replied, still with a silly smile watching the two. "So, shall we go for a walk?"

"Sure. Let's go see Jack!" Pedro reached out one of his hands, taking yours and giving it a quick kiss.

You and Bella followed him, laughing at all his excitement. Jack, whoever he was, seemed miles away, as Pedro made a point of stopping and saying hello with Aurora to everyone along the way.

When you get close to one of the stables in the scenario, you finally understand that it was Jack. A completely brown and beautiful horse that was there. Bella went ahead and called him, Jack with meek steps placed himself at the edge of the fence.

"Look princesa, a horse. Just like in that book daddy showed you." Pedro approached and you can see Aurora's face close. Foreseeing what would happen, you moved even closer to the horse. "Don't be afraid, my love, it's just a pet."

"Look at Mommy." you got her attention by petting Jack. He promptly licked your face, making you laugh. "See? Want to try?"

Pedro barely took her little hand and it was enough for Aurora to show the power of her lungs. The cry echoed throughout the set, making Pedro immediately move to the opposite side of the horse.

You even thought about going to him and trying to help calm her down, but you were no match for Pedro, who managed to calm her down just by talking to her. Since the little girl was born, he had taken that role for himself.

"Okay, someone really doesn't like horses." Bella spoke, petting Jack. "Maybe she likes Olivier."

"Who is Olivier?" you walked towards Pedro and Aurora's cry was no longer heard.

"10 bucks she won't cry with Olivier." Bella arrived announcing, attracting Pedro's worried look.

"20 bucks for you not to make that up." he replied, with the little girl lying on his shoulder.

"30 bucks to see him from afar."

"What do you think amor?" Pedro turned to you, who shrugged.

"I have no idea who it is."

"You promised that when she came we would show her." Bella interrupted, thrilled to see Pedro relent.

You made your way back to the inner area of ​​the set and it didn't take long for you to understand what it was all about.

"You are not going to show my daughter a zombie." you made a move to pick her up, but the little one remained firm in her father's arms.

"Only from afar." Pedro warned, turning his daughter to face Olivier. "I promise if I see her threaten to cry, we're out of here."

"Aurora, look over there." Bella tried to get her attention, she seemed to understand exactly what they were saying.

Aurora glanced in Olivier's direction and then at her own father, babbling something. The little eyes, still red from crying, no longer had any tears. Again she turned to the man who was made up and pointed her little hand, trying to reach.

"I think... Hold on a second." Pedro took a few more steps towards Olivier.

At that point, everyone around was already paying attention to the girl's reaction, who still looked curious. A few more steps and you were around Olivier, who, despite his hideous make-up, was looking curiously at the girl.

"She's definitely not afraid of him." Neil, who accompanied the recording, said in surprise.

Aurora cooed excitedly and stretched out both small hands towards the man who was dressed as a clicker. He lowered himself to her height and she started to play with him, trapping her little hands on the ends of the makeup she had made.

"No way!" Bella mumbled as disbelieved as the two of you.

"She hates horses…" you started, still baffled by her toothless smile.

"And she loves Olivier" Pedro's voice was as surprised as yours.

"Unbelievable!" Neil placed himself between the two, asking permission to take Aurora in his arms, which, as he was even closer to Olivier, he accepted immediately. "Hi Miss Pascal. Do you want to play with the clicker? Oh dear, Uncle Neil will get you a job next season."

"Unbelievable." Pedro muttered, still disbelieved. "Did you see? My little girl isn't afraid of zombies."

"That she certainly didn't get from me." You watched Neil distract Aurora with the rest of the staff dressed up as infected.

"My fearsome." Pedro caressed your chin, stealing a quick peck from your lips. "You made my day, coming here, bringing our girl."

"Too bad we're already going home." You said, just to tease him, but you saw his smile disappear immediately. "By home, I mean room 42 of a certain hotel near here."

It took a few seconds for him to understand, which drew a sincere laugh from you.

"Are you staying all week?"

"Yes, my love, we couldn't take the longing anymore." he didn't hesitate to hold you in a hug, distributing several kisses, just like he did when he saw Aurora.

"Well, then I guess Aurora would love to meet all the other Olivier's in the series."

[i-want-my-iwtv]

I will be delusional as I want BUT I'll pretend that tom cruise going back to Warner Bros means we'll finally get the deleted scenes from the iwtv please please manifesting

🙏🙏🙏 Anon, embrace being delusional! I wish! If anyone's connected with Warner Bros please please tell them we want the deleted scenes!

Anyway since we're on the topic... over the years I've talked about wanting the cut scenes, and I wanted to reflect for a moment on why we want them. I think we want them because, like a delicious cake, once it's all consumed, we still look at the serving plate, hoping we can still lick the icing off the knife, or maybe the baker has some leftover cake back in the kitchen?? Or maybe they can tell us that the secret ingredient to intensifying the chocolate is ESPRESSO... We just want another taste so badly! We want to know the secret ingredients that set it apart from other cakes. And some filmmakers know that, and sometimes they're happy to share the cut scenes on a DVD release, maybe with commentary as to why the scenes were cut, like:

"Here's a scene were Louis kills a priest and ultimately we had an overall run time limit of 2 hours, but it was otherwise a perfectly good scene."

"Here's part of a set of scenes we shot early on where Lestat shows mortal Louis what killing entails, and although we loved it, we ended up improving the Lestat makeup & hair a few weeks later, and for the sake of continuity we had to cut it bc we couldn't go back to that location to reshoot, or it would have taken too much time to fix in post, etc."

Giving over the cut scenes is a little like an artist showing the scrapped versions of a painting composition, and that's fine when the creator wants to invite the viewers into their artistic process, but I think the IWTV filmmakers at the time (and for years after) really wanted the '94 movie to be serious* to the point that releasing cut scenes could have undermined their overall vision... maybe they simply didn't want to invite the audience into their creative process.

(*Serious, BUT there was certainly plenty of beauty, charm, dark humor, intimacy, desire, so much more! Maybe the filmmakers cut scenes that THEY felt didn't mesh well with the overall story they wanted to tell, like putting together an outfit and choosing accessories that go better rather than others... you know?)

WITH THAT SAID... What cut scenes would you have liked to see? That's what fanfic and fanart are for, so tell us and maybe someone will be inspired to create it for all of us 💝

IF Tom was still part of VC at all... one of my personal fantasy casting ideas was to have Tom play the Marquis in TVL, and now he's really old enough to do it! 😅 Can you imagine?? Tom playing his own horrible father! Cast younger actors to play kid!Lestat, teen!Lestat, etc.?? Tom!Marquis showing obvious preference for his two older brothers and being horrible to Gabrielle... it could be amazing.

Obviously it wouldn't be adorable like this but... I've always loved Tom Cruise characters when he interacts with kids and teens, he's always seemed very in touch with his inner child, even when that inner child is more of a 12 yo brat. Whole novels could be written on his layered performances with child and teen actors, but for now, just a few thoughts...

^From Jerry Maguire. I can't quite articulate why this was so compelling... iirc, maybe because his character is really frustrated/demoralized in this scene, and there's something comforting about a kid naively telling you that "the human head weighs 8 pounds," as if to say, "Your problems are not really as big a deal as you think they are; live in the present moment." And Tom in this character seems to absorb that deeper meaning and it gives him some relief, it's a step towards his character's growth.

When Tom played Ray in War of the Worlds, he had a teenage son, and there was a heartbreaking scene where Ray had to choose between protecting his son or his daughter. From That Moment In:

Desperate to keep his family together, Ray is forced to leave the terrified Rachel alone for a moment as he puts his weight on Robbie and forces him to the ground as the air around them lights up with smoke and tracer fire. Meanwhile, another couple, fleeing the madness, sees Rachel standing by herself and attempt to rescue her, not knowing that her father is nearby. Looking back, Ray sees this and becomes torn between his children, not wanting to lose either but forced to choose. Robbie assures his father that this is what he wants, “I want to see this,” and to please let him go, which Ray finally, achingly, submits to, seeing that Rachel is being whisked away. Father and son say goodbye as Robbie runs over the crest and Ray rushes down to get his daughter as a hellfire of explosion overtake the hills, giving us the impression Robbie has met his end.

I just love the idea of Tom playing the very character that had caused so much pain for Lestat, that Lestat was always on defense from that man, looooong after he died. Despite all the torment the Marquis inflicted on Lestat, Lestat still gave him a comfortable place to live out his last few years, the roles pretty much reversed as happens with aging parents, Lestat actually nurturing this man (not always in the kindest way but still!) in his feeble old age... and couldn't bring himself to even kill him out of mercy.

Nature & Nurture, Lestat was damaged by his father genetically and emotionally in his formative years, and so much of Lestat's bravado and verbal attacks seem to be a shield for the awful feelings of growing up unloved, unwanted, and beaten for expressing his own desires. So much so that even in canon he often expresses the intensity of his desires far more eloquently and frequently in the narration than he's able to do verbally, even with the characters he cherishes the most. Because to express his love exposed himself to losing it.

Tom could for sure pull off a performance that would capture the Marquis, because he essentially played Lestat with the qualities of a victim perpetuating some of the abuse he suffered from the man who was supposed to be (and was!) his role model for becoming the man he became. 😭

[kingpreciouswrld]

soo i’m testing your miranda one shot where the reader comes home after some time away and i was thinking something like that with gwendoline??? gwen has been gone shooting for a new movie or show and tells reader that she won’t be home for a another week or so but ends up coming home earlier as a surprise

pairing: Gwendoline Christie x Reader

word count: 578

A/N: Sorry it's so short, I tried! This was actually a great idea, I'm surprised that I didn't think of it!!

It was rare that Gwen was away from home for so long, but for shooting the show Wednesday, she was shooting for 8 months in Romania. You could've gone with her but you had other obligations that kept you at home.

You guys kept in touch everyday, calling each other or texting each other what's happening. You'd always get picture texts from Gwen in her outfits and you had to say that you absolutely loved the Larissa Weems fits.

The time difference made calls hard but you'd stay up as late as it would take to hear and see Gwen. She was your light and you wouldn't miss the call for the world.

It was down to the wire when you guys started talking about being back together. You had so many things to show Gwen and you were excited to finally be in her arms again. Little did you know, Gwen was set on surprising you at home.

The next day, you called Gwen at the usual time,

"So when does your flight come in next week?"

"I'm so sorry love but Tim wants me to stay a bit longer to reshoot some scenes with Christina. Jenna got COVID so we have done extra time for redos."

You frowned, one, because Gwen wouldn't be home until later but two, because she was exposed to COVID and could get sick herself, "Is Jenna okay? Poor girl."

"Jenna will be okay darling, they're taking precautions and she's taken care of," Gwen covered her mouth piece and said thank you to her assistant who took her suitcase off of the conveyor belt.

"Okay well…how're things going over there? Was it fun in Romania? It definitely looks beautiful." 

Gwen had muted herself as she got into her cab and unmuted herself when you finished rambling, "Oh it's just amazing here darling, we should really come here together one day. You would like it here."

You hummed as you say down on the couch,"I would, wouldn't I? Also, I really love your Larissa outfits, do you think you could take some home?" You asked shyly.

Gwen smirked, "You like Larissa, hm? Well I'll see what I can do love, okay?" 

Your stomach tingled and your toes unintentionally curled at the thought of having Gwen as Principle Weems at home, "Yes babe, thank you!"

"Of course baby doll," the older woman chuckled. She muted herself again as the cab stopped in front of the house. She got out her suitcases and walked up to the front door, "Darling, there should be a package at the front door, do you think you could bring it inside for me?"

You hummed and got off the couch, "Yeah, I can go grab it real quick. What did you get?"

Gwen covered the peep hole with her hand, just in case you looked. You didn't. You opened the door to find Gwen in her lounge wear, looking exhausted but happy to see you.

"Gwen!"

You squealed in surprise before jumping into her arms. You clung to her like a koala and Gwen laughed as she one handedly moved her suitcases inside. You started kissing her neck, your hand tangled in her hair. Gwen chuckled and hummed, "Don't start anything you can't finish bunny."

You blushed and stopped kissing her neck but pulled back and gave her a soft kiss to her lips, Gwen met you halfway and kissed you back. 

"Mmm what a welcome home indeed."

Cozy embrace🎃☕

Since nobody is using this gif in the realm of him needing to be held I will so I present my first fic on here!! (This will be about Cillian because I haven't finished peaky blinders yet and don't want to butcher his character!)

It was a late fall afternoon chilly but not quite cold Cillian was on his way home after shooting he had been away for months leaving his girlfriend at home to roam by herself once he'd arrived outside their beautiful home he'd realized y/n had decorated the outside while he was away he'd remembered her saying over the phone how she wanted to decorate but wanted to do the inside of the home with him so it seemed she'd kept her word he smiled and laughed slightly at the thought of his adorable girlfriend getting frustrated trying to reach to put up the higher decorations he shook his head and began opening the door getting smacked in the face with the smell of their favorite fall candle burning walking in setting down his bags in search of y/n oh how he'd missed her missed holding her and being held God how he missed how her arms would hold him so close to her it made him feel safe like nothing else even mattered but it also allowed great view of her boobs which he loved but that's not what was important right now what was important was the stunning woman laying on his couch in their shared home with nothing but a cozy sweater he's pretty sure she stole from him and blanket covering her legs all the while reading a book listening to music in her own little world he walked over to her after kicking off his shoes immediately going to give her a kiss on the head and say hello "Oh my gosh your home! I missed you so much!" Y/n brimming with excitement to finally see that handsome face of his in person after all this time giving him a peck on the lips holding his face in her hands Cillian's facial expression gave it away that he wasn't to energized and didn't want to talk looking at his sad tired blue eyes and seeing sleep trying to take hold she said "You must be pretty tired huh? I'm assuming shooting was very taxing this time around?" "Yeah it was a lot to handle I mean it was great but there were so many interviews then workouts and reshoot after reshoot because we couldn't get the scenes just right... I just missed you a lot sweetheart I couldn't wait too come home and be with you even if it's only for a week till they need me again I just wanted to be home with you" Cillian said crouching down to hold onto her looking into her beautiful eyes he could get lost in there so full of adoration for him so filled with the warmth of her love for him he loved it so much Y/n spoke breaking his concentration "well get up here love and we can just hold each other and chat or just lay here whatever you prefer my love" she said grabbing his hand rubbing her fingers over his knuckles soothingly giving trailing kisses all the way to his jaw she loved him loved being able to care for him how he cared for her without it being awkward no tension of any kind just love and warmth in the safety of their shared home so when he silently stared climbing on the couch to lay on top of her and rest his head on what he called the best pillows ever and she wrapped her arms around him one on his back drawing shapes into it soothingly and the other hidden in his hair he looked up at her somehow saying everything yet nothing at the same time "I love you Y/n" "I love you too Cilly" he smiled softly shoving his face back into her sweater "But we are decorating this house tomorrow it's so... Bland" He laughed into her chest allowing her to feel every small giggle "Whatever you say sweetheart as long as it's with you I don't care" This time she's the one who smiled feeling content with life closing her eyes along with her boyfriend to just enjoy each others presence

[sms]: hope ya had a good labor day weekend. easy day tomorrow for your first day back at work :) now i know originally we only had one thing on the schedule for tomorrow but over the weekend some things happened and now we’ve got a whole day ahead of us.

[sms]: reminder i have a dolce&gabbana fitting tomorrow at 10 am, make sure i’m up and awake by 8. can’t miss this one because it’d look real bad on me. especially since we’ve been knowing about this for a month now. so make SURE i’m up. i’ll cook breakfast for us so no need to get something before coming over. just text me what you want me to make. the fitting isn’t too far from my condo, walking isn’t a problem and you don’t need to accompany me if you don’t want to. it’s a fitting so you’d end up being in the room with me while i … well, yeah

[sms]: now for the new stuff (i’m sorry) mooch needs me to reshoot some scenes for money talks because the files got corrupted. we’re looking at 1 pm in brooklyn. drop off at brooklyn bridge is fine. bring my clothes in a separate garment bag. brown timberlands, the grey levis, black hoodie, black leather jacket, black beanie with the us flag on it. if you choose to not come with me to the fitting, then i’ll still expect you to have this ready and to meet me outside the d&g building with the ride ready.

[sms]: but then after, we’re heading with mooch to the hamptons. he’ll drive so no need to worry about getting us a ride there. he’s gonna spend time with his dad and we’re going to check out a few properties i’ve been looking at. projected to have a pretty good ROI because of the area theyre in. also just overall rich white people wanted to vacay out there and shit. or i could just rent it out.

[sms]: still deciding on that. anyway. enough about that.

[sms]: quite literally it for tomorrow because the drive to the hamptons is unfortunately long. also, i just mainly have phone calls to make. speaking with a lot of modeling agencies — god i’m going to rip out my hair tomorrow.

[sms]: but while that’s happening, i’m going to need you to get in contact with austin, the guy who prints my clothes. find out when he’s available so we can start drafting up designs for the next hookgoods drop and how much we’re looking at to supply him with the all the blanks and ink he needs. we can work with his schedule, that isn’t a problem. as long as it isn’t on a wednesday, saturday, or sunday. next step would be to figure out where the fuck he’s gonna print this shit because his studio isn’t in new york anymore and instead in bumfuck tennessee.

[sms]: back to my place. get ready to go to airport to leave for wisconsin for some wrassling.

Voiceplay Visuals - Time Warp

When I was considering the concept of doing a few "bonus posts" during my 12 Days Of Christmas In July miniseries, I was like "oh I am absolutely doing a post for Time Warp!" and so here we are!

Time Warp was released on the 14th of October, 2023 (last year), and is what the group has referred to as a "Biggie" video. What this means it's that it's mostly like a VoicePlay Mini, but it's longer than a minute, and uploaded as a proper video on the channel (other "Biggies" include Wellerman and Peaches). So yeah, it's not a full-length cover of Time Warp (one can only dream!), but it's still more than we would've gotten from just a standard Mini! The arrangement was a collaboration between Rob Dietz, Geoff, and Eli, and the video and creative direction were both just left to Eli. And this cover/video features the awesome Ashley Diane! Anyway, idk how long or short this post might be, but there's definitely fun things to show and talk about, so let's get into this!

Alright we're starting off the video strong, with Geoff wearing glasses and practically smouldering down the camera, SIR-!

(Seriously he already looks so lovely and handsome most of the time anyway - the fact that glasses make him look even better is frankly just unfair)

Oh and you might notice a sign in the far background (the blue-green thing) that says "Oviedo Mall". That's where VoicePlay films most of their Minis (and "Biggies"), and it's also where Pattycake Studios is located!

Sir you stop that right now! 😂😅

(Never ask me for screenshots from the Peaches video - I love it a lot but I am too damng weak to those eyes looking right at me!)

("Hey that's not a YouTube screenshot!" Nope, it's from the Patreon Early Access video. Don't @ me, it's the exact same video, but it just gives me a better/"cleaner-looking" screenshot in this case)

Alright, outfit talk time!

Geoff I suppose could low-key be dressing up as Brad Majors with the glasses? (Yes I have seen Rocky Horror Picture Show - only once a few years back, but I of course know the songs, and really know Time Warp).

Layne is definitely repping Columbia with that shiny gold jacket, and also hey it's a rare case of seeing (what I'm assuming is) his natural hairstyle! (Layne had curly hair in Jingle Bell Rock as well but I completely forgot to mention it).

Cesar is wearing a Rocky Horror Picture Show shirt, nice (I am fully unsurprised that he's a fan of it, lol), and Eli's wearing the same jacket that he did in the video for Good 4 U a couple years ago!

"It's just a jump to the left..."

Love the old-timey effect they put on the visuals for this bit, and the monocle!

(I can't do frame-by-frame scrubbing on Patreon videos, but there's a lot less User Interface stuff getting in the way when I wanna take full-length screenshots, so if the source of the images keeps changing during this post, that's why)

The main reason I wanted to do a VoicePlay Visuals post for this one: the dancing! (And I was totally dancing along with the first chorus here, couldn't help myself!)

Oh and speaking of the dancing, I gotta show my appreciation for the fact that Cesar and Ashley are doing the choreography properly (well, mostly - the "step to the right" bit should include matching hand motions!). E.g. having the right timing on "bring your knees in tight" (you don't do it immediately!)

I wanted to get a clear shot of Ashley before I gave proper appreciation for her sparkly sequined top! Very cute!

"...when a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink!"

(Both Eli and Cesar are winking!)

Zoom in on Geoff, Layne, and Eli down in the mini "cutaway box" at the bottom! First of all, Geoff has the biggest happy grin on his face and I love it, and second of all, Layne jumped into shot and almost immediately lost composure and almost cracked up laughing 😂

Layne kept going though, good for him! (And honestly leaving that part in instead of reshooting just makes it more entertaining for us imo 😁)

Cesar is iconic, that is all

I love how Layne appears to be trying The Least with the dance moves. 🤣 (Meanwhile Geoff and Eli appear to be having an absolute blast!)

Not gonna bother trying to get a decent screenshot of the "pelvic thrusts" bit, but it's still very amusing. Layne again going for Bare Minimum, Geoff is trying but his expression indicates he's close to pulling something or throwing his back out (rip), while Eli is absolutely going for it, and even does a little spin! 😁

Just Random Chaos Time. VoicePlay Brand Of Dumb! 😂😂

And of course there is only one proper way to end a performance of Time Warp, and this is basically how you do it!

Say VoicePlay, any of you know how to Madison? 🤔😜🤣

So that's Time Warp! I don't watch this one a great deal, so it was fun to have a reason to revisit it. This was an additional little "Halloween season upload" from VoicePlay last year, and I am so hyped for whatever they might come up with this year, but for now, I've got one more bonus post coming your way, and then we'll finish off with more Christmas stuff! See you soon!

ACTORS AU!

So while driving to and from work today, my mind kept going and makingnup small scenes on the actors au, where all the characters are actors in the show, and they were on those fun group interviews we see in events, like the ones with the avegers cast and all that.

I cant write for shit, but here are a few things that came to my mind:

When asked who have more in common with their character, they all pointed to Vash. He is basically the same, just less sad and traumatized lol;

When asked who is the least similar to their character, Nai raised his hand. Dude's absolutely sweet and his entire wardrobe is composed of pastel colors. But he also really enjoys playing Knives;

Nick hates cigarettes, so he uses the fake herbal ones for shooting. He particularly likes the jasmine ones;

Meryl is girlboss, she's very mature and gorgeous and says shes having a lot fun with the show;

Roberto is super fun to be around and sometimes help the kids that plays kid Vash and Nai to play pranks on the other actors;

Nick is the one that messes his lines the most but is good at improv;

Meryl never messed a single line, but she did suggest some should be changed;

Vash's jacket tend to get stuck everywhere and they have to reshoot;

Meryl is not actually scared of bugs, she have a pet tarantula named Poppy;

Nick accidentally hit the Punisher on every single actor he had a scene with;

Nai can actually play the piano, he even won contests when he was a kid;

Legato went all for it and let them dye his hair blue;

The blonde part of Vash's hair is dyed, the brown part is his natural hair, but he liked the style so much he decided to keep it;

Vash is not allowed to drink coffee. There was an incident. They don't talk about it;

Nick have a sweet tooth;

Roberto came in once with a homemade lasagna he made, and people actually fought for the last piece;

When it comes to alcohol, Meryl almost never gets drunk evennif she drinks more than everyone else, Legato is the weakest against it, Nai just falls asleep, Nick either ends up striping or crying, Roberto usually just starts laughting histerically, and Vash becomes very VERY clingy

Feel free to add more, I just have a lot of fun with this

————————————————————————

"Vic, will you stop messing up?! This is like take two hundred!" Austin raises his voice a bit at Victoria as they're trying to make a video stating they're current situation.

"I'm sorry! I'm just nervous! And this is not the two hundredth take. Don't be so dramatic." she responds.

"Don't you think I'm nervous, too? Also, I'm not being dramatic."

"Whatever you say, Aus."

"Alright, let's get it right this time. We don't have all day, you know. We have to go reshoot that scene in like an hour."

"I know, I know."

Austin goes to press record on his phone again & Vic takes a deep breath.

"Hello, everybody!" Austin starts off with a greeting. "I know I don't ever post on social media, but there are a couple of things my co-star and I need to talk about."

"As you all have seen, I'm sure, are photos & videos of Austin and I out in public a LOT. We know there are rumors going around about us being together, and that I am cheating on Ashton. Neither of which are true."

"Victoria & I are not together, but we are co-stars in our upcoming film "The Last Time", which will be out next spring, or summer. And we are also, co-parents."

"Yes, co-stars & co-parents, because we are having a baby together. We will not go into details on how it happened, but we needed to clear up the rumors. You have seen us out quite a bit as we're starting to plan the nursery, doctor appointments, and all that. Ashton is supportive of my decision to keep the baby, and for Austin and I to raise it together."

"I hope you all can support us in this decision. Thanks for listening if you made it this far. We'll talk to y'all very soon."

"Bye!" Vic ends the video.

"Finally." Austin says with a sigh of relief.

"Now, can you post it or do we have to get Kate's approval first?"

"We have to get her approval first, then she'll tell us to post or redo."

"Hopefully we won't have to redo."

"Yeah, that was torture."

"Oh, shut up. I couldn't help it."

"You ready to go to the studio?" Austin asks her.

"Yeah, we should get going."

On the way to the studio...

"Did you tell Ashton about the gender?" Austin asked.

"Yeah, he's really excited about it."

"Did you tell him about you moving in with me soon?"

Victoria was quiet.

"You didn't tell him." Austin said, knowing the answer.

"No, I haven't yet." Vic responds.

"You we're supposed to tell him, Vic! I'm literally prepping your room to be painted the color you picked out."

"I know, I know. I just haven't found the right time yet."

"Well, do you know when that's going to be?"

"I don't know. He's been so busy. I barely see him."

"I thought you said he makes time for you."

"He does, but not enough."

"I don't know, Vic. Like I said at the doctors. I feel like if he loved you as much as he says he does, he'd schedule his studio time better to be there for you more."

"I know. It's another thing I have to talk to him about."

"Talk to him soon. About everything."

"I will."

Once they arrived at the studio, they were told to go to their trailers to get changed & then head to hair and makeup.

Austin walked into his trailer, the same one he had previously. As he looked around, moments from that day, played in his head.

He shook his head in disbelief, knowing one of the last times he was here was a day that would change his world without even knowing it.

When they were both ready, they got onto set and went over their lines while the crew set up the correct angles and lighting.

"Okay, I think we should be good to go. You guys ready?" Anna asks.

Vic & Austin both agreed they were ready & went into it.

"C'mon, Jake. Just say it." Vic says in character.

"Say what, Allison?" Austin responds in character.

"Say it. Three words, eight letters. Say it & I'm yours, Jake."

Austin in character kisses Victoria 'in the heat of the moment'. Kissing with so much passion. To Austin, this isn't even acting.

They break the kiss & Austin says his next line, "I love you, Vic- I mean Allison. Fuck."

Austin messes up his line, Vic is lowkey in shock & is confused, Anna yells cut.

"Look who's messing up, now." Victoria says messing with him.

"Haha, very funny." he says in a sarcastic tone.

"Let's take it from the kiss! Annnnnddd, action!" Anna calls out.

Austin kisses Victoria again. As he's pulling away, he's reminding himself to not fuck up again.

"I love you, Allison." he got it right that time, although it was a struggle, because he did really want to say Victoria's name.

"You do? You mean it?" Vic asks in character.

"Yeah. Yeah, I do."

They kiss again before Anna yells cut to finish the scene.

"Austin, even better kissing this time around. Good job, kid." Anna complements his work.

Austin gets shy and looks down, blushing "Thank you."

"You guys are free to go. If anything else comes up, we'll call you."

And with that, the parents to be started heading out.

"Hey, Aus?" Vic says to Austin.

"Yeah?"

"When you accidentally started saying my name, did that mean anything?"

"Oh shit." Austin says getting distracted & completely ignoring her question. "What the hell is she doing here?"

"Who?"

"Who do you think?"

"Eliana? Is that her at craft services?"

"Yep."

The two of them walk past her, as Eliana is flirting with the same extra she was making out with when Austin caught them.

"Not gonna say hi to Auntie Eli?" Eliana asks them right as they past her, giving a fake pout.

"Auntie Eli? What's that supposed to mean?" Vic asks, stopping in her tracks. Austin stops too, being just as confused as Vic.

"Oh c'mon, Vic. Didn't you know the word around the set now is you being knocked up?"

"That's going around set now?"

"Mhm. I think that snooty extra was listening in to Anna & Sarah's conversation the other day."

"Are you sure you weren't the one eavesdropping on them, Eliana?" Austin asks her.

"Why would I do such a thing?"

"I don't know. Maybe because all you care about is drama & sex."

"That's not all I care about."

"Okay, so what though, Eliana. I'm pregnant. It's Austin's. The official announcement comes out later today. Everyone will know anyways." Vic says. "Also, you are not, and will never be, Auntie to our daughter."

"Awww it's a girl? I hope you name her after me."

"Never in a million years. In your dreams."

"God, Vic. You got both of them, Ash & Austin, yet you're still being such a bitch."

Victoria could feel the blood start to boil inside her body.

"Austin, let's go, before I slap a bitch."

Vic starts walking towards her trailer, but stops once she hears Austin say one last thing to Eliana, "Listen, I'm saying this once. If you ever see us again, pretend like we're ghosts and you can't see us. Don't EVER talk to us, text us, anything. Especially, do NOT ever come near our daughter. Vic & I both, even Ashton, do not need an ounce of you in our lives. You've done well enough. We'd both rather die than to ever see or speak to you again. You got that?"

Eliana nods her head yes, nervously.

Victoria felt a rush go through her body, feeling turned on by how he just put Eliana in her place. It was a side of Austin she had never seen before. As if he's already being a protective father.

She feels her phone buzz in her pocket, it's Ashton texting her he'll be over the apartment soon since he's getting done early today.

The feelings she had for Austin only lasted for a moment. The text from Ashton erased them from her mind.

Austin & Vic both got changed and collected their things from their trailers, and hopped in the car to head out.

The car ride was silent. Austin was still pretty tense from the Eliana encounter. Vic wasn't sure if she should say anything or not, but the question she had for him that was left unanswered was eating her up inside, so she spoke up.

"Hey, that question I had earlier..."

"Yeah, sorry I cut you off. I just got distracted by Eliana. What was the question?"

"When you accidently started saying my name, did that mean anything?"

"Uh, no. It was um, just an accident. Why?" Austin responds nervously.

"Well, with the way you kissed me..."

"Just doing my job, Vic."

"Even Anna said it was better than the original..."

"Okay, I decided to add more passion. Still just doing my job."

"If you say so..."

"I'm not in love with you or anything, if that's what you're thinking."

"No, no. I was just wondering, is all."

"If I was, would you do anything about it?"

"I mean, I'd tell you it'll never happen because I'm with Ashton."

"Right, Ashton."

"Are you jealous of us? Me & Ash?"

"No." he shakes his head.

"Hm. Okay."

Austin thinks to himself, "Fuck. I think she's catching on."

They reached their destination, Victoria & Mila's apartment. When they pulled into the parking lot, Ashton was standing there outside his car, waiting for Vic.

"Oh, look who decided to show up." Austin said in a petty tone.

"What do you mean? He's here almost every night." Victoria answered.

"Okay, what I should have said was, Oh look who decided to show up before midnight."

"Whatever, Aus. Thanks for the rides today. Hopefully I'll have my car back from the shop soon." she says as she gets out of the car.

"Yeah, no problem. I'll see you later."

"Bye." Vic says shutting the passenger door.

She runs up to Ashton and they embrace each other with a big hug. Austin scoffs to himself and heads on home.

"How was your day, baby?" Ashton asks Victoria.

"It was alright. How are you? How was yours, honey?"

"It was good. Even better now that I get to see you."

"Aww, stop. You're so cute. I love you."

"I love you too. Let's go inside, yeah?"

"Yes, let's."

They make their way into the apartment. Mila was passed out on the couch, so they quietly went into Vic's room.

"What are all these boxes for? We're these here the last time I was here?" Ashton asks Victoria as she shuts the door behind her.

"Shit." she mutters to herself.

"What? Is there something going on? Are you moving?" Ashton asks.

"Um, yeah. Ash, we need to talk."

"Yeah, we do babe. What's going on?"

"I've been meaning to tell you, but I've just been nervous to say something and also when I've seen you lately, it's been late at night, we'll do a quickie then sleep, and repeat. But um, I'm moving in with Austin soon. We decided that it will be easier for when we're going to the appointments & if I have an emergencies, Austin's there & he won't miss anything. Also, it'll be easier to co-parent that way too. I know this is a lot, but I hope you're okay with this."

"Um, yeah. I get it, babe. I just wish you would have told me sooner."

"I know, and I'm sorry. And don't worry, Austin made sure I had a bedroom on the opposite side of the of the house so it's more of my headquarters, so you can be over easier and not having to worry about bothering him."

"So, he'll be cool with me staying over?"

"Yeah. I told him that has to be a thing to make us living together work."

"Okay. That's fine. Whatever will be easiest for you & the baby."

"I'm glad you're okay with this and that you've been so understanding."

"Of course. I love you & I truly want you to be happy and want what's best."

"There's another thing I need to talk to you about..."

"What's that?"

"Do you think you can start scheduling your studio time better? Missing appointments, barely spending actual time with me. It sometimes feels like you don't want to be apart of the baby's life, or even mine. I get your busy, but when I see you nowadays, it's almost midnight. We haven't had quality time together in so long."

"You're right, and I'm sorry. I promise I'll be better. For you and baby girl. I'll tell the boys we have to change our schedule. Whatever I have to do to make you happy."

"Thank you. I love you."

"I love you, too. So much."

Ashton kisses her passionately. From someone who loves her so much, Austin's kisses from earlier felt even more passionate & loving. Makes her really question if Austin was being truthful or not about his answers earlier.

Part 4: The Tie

I'm home for three days so I'm starting reno on my kitchen when my phone pings. My heart skips a beat when I realize it's Evan.

"Hey, can I call you? Its urgent" reads the text.

I don't respond, I just hit the call button. Evan picks up on the second ring.

"Hey, what are you up to?" He sounds frazzled

"Epoxying my kitchen counters." I reply

"By yourself?"

"Yea. I've done it before"

"That's...different" he sounds amused and a bit impressed. He speaks again "I am having a really big issue and I feel bad bothering you when you are in the middle of a huge project" his voice a bit shaky.

"No worries. What is it?" I ask

"Well I completely forgot to order the tie. I have the vest and no tie. It just dawned on me. And it's been awhile since I ordered the vest. Can you possibly look into it?"

"Ok. Where are you right now?"

"Uhhhh, BFE Canada. They needed a reshoot on a couple things from my last project. That's why I'm calling you. They have a gas station in this town. Like, that's it" he sighs.

I laugh. "Yea I don't think you're going to find a tie in soft pink at the BFE Canada gas station"

He softly chuckles and it sends shocks through me. Concentrate, I tell myself.

I speak again "Let me see if they can still order it. I don't see why not. I will call you back.

"Thank you so much and I'm so, so sorry" he says

"You're welcome. Hang tight I will get back to you ASAP"

I hang the phone up and immediately call the suit store. I talk to a fairly unfriendly woman who seems annoyed that yet another customer doesn't have their "shit together." I want to tell her to give the poor guy a break but then figure I don't even have to tell him about this conversation. After a bunch of sighing and snarky comments on the clerk's end, we have ordered a tie. I pay forty freaking dollars for a rush delivery, but it has to happen.

I call Evan back

"Hey, what's the verdict?" Is his greeting

"Well I had to pay forty bucks for rush delivery on top of the price for the tie, but it will be here in 3 days"

"You are amazing. Can you pick it up? I'm back in like 5 days and have a couple things to do. I will pick it up from you as soon as I can"

"That's fine" I reply. The word amazing ringing in my ears. Shoot me a text when you are stopping by."

We say bye and hang up. Well, at least I'm helping I think as I go back to what I'm doing.

-----

My doorbell rings. Evan is standing on my porch and he is a sight for sore eyes.

I open the door. "Hey! How's it going?" I say

Evan hugs me and I am not expecting it. But, I hug him back of course.

"Thank you for helping me out. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it" he says softly in my ear.

I shiver. "No problem! But, bet you can't wait til this wedding is over" we both laugh.

"It's ok. At least I've met some interesting people."

I wonder what he means by that. He can't possibly be talking about me.

I joke around, but I'm also fishing. "Oh? Who have you met that's interesting besides me?" I flip my hair and bat my eyelashes and then laugh.

"Well, I went out with Heather last night. She got my number from Julie" I can't read his face. He is looking right into my eyes as if watching my reaction.

"Heather?" I say confused and then I realize Heather is miss"Blonde Bombshell" herself. Oh. Shit, really? I hide it as best as I can "Oh, nice. She's pretty. Did you have a good time?" I ask. I wonder if he can tell I'm holding my breath.

"Well, she's nice. But, I can't tell if it's fake or not."

Like her boobs? I think to myself.

"I don't really know her, so I can't help you there" I say to him and shrug. Trying to put the kabash on this conversation.

"She's, uh, not like you. You seem like you keep it pretty real. You kinda have to for the line of work you are in, I guess."

I can't hide my shock that the words even came out of his mouth.

"Uh, well, It kinda forces you to be real for sure" I reply. Blushing.

"Are you going to see her again? You might need more time to get to know her. " I say encouragingly. Although I don't feel enthusiastic about it.

"I'm not sure. But, that's for another day. Oh, here's the money for everything." He pulls a bank envelope out of his back pocket. "I can't thank you enough."

"No, problem" I take the envelope

"Hey, are you going to Vegas for the Bachelor/Bachelorette party in a couple weeks?" He asks with a smile.

"I am super excited for it." I reply, returning a smile.

"Good. Me too. Should be a good time"

ts/dnp guy here!! i loved the ep more than i was expecting too (specially cause i havent watched any sanders sides in a like a year khekdj) it was so funnn. what was ur favorite gift? also lets go new sweaters !! i super cant buy them but they looked pretty from the 1/3 of them we saw on camera kdgmsb

Yayy hi!

Yes, sanders sides has been a bit like that recently, yk? Haven't had a proper sides episode in a long while, and I'm sure lot of it is because of stuff Thomas was going through and maybe with the hair changes and all they would have had to reshoot a bunch of stuff that they already had ready. The past couple of asides episodes had also been kinda lacklustre. I was fine with that though, like, I understood that it takes time to bounce back so it's quite alright, wasn't expecting much from another asides.

But this was proper stuff, this was good character progression, plot developing, high tension, really interesting dynamics and foreshadowing and allusions to a bunch of stuff that has been building up (like Logan's shouting) which I enjoyed sooo much omg.

My favourite gift, cannot decide between Virgil's and Janus' (the dark sides are good at this I suppose). It was so 'seems like shit on the surface but actually tailored exactly to the recipients' likes. Patton having a fun time unwrapping box after box and arriving at what he loves best - a handmade card ❤️❤️❤️ Love that. What was yours?

And yes the new sweaters are very cute!!

Also if you feel like talking at length about sanders sides ever feel free to DM, but we can also talk over asks about any future or past sanders sides I haven't had a rewatch in so long!!

supernatural s12e5 the one you've been waiting for (w. meredith glynn)

thule society nazis in the recap, oh boy. my fave. remember nothing of this episode (8x13 apparently). though i do remember neck stabbing a nazi to non je ne regrette rien (but i think that was a different nazi stabbing episode??? 11x14). ps totally thought rien was laugh because ríen in spanish is "they laugh". sometimes similar words between french and spanish are the same! sometimes not :P i don't regret anything not quite the vibe of i don't regret laughing lol

DEAN I'm gonna stop you right there, okay? Look, Mom needed her space, and I told you I'm cool with it. SAM But are you really?

so here for sam continuing to poke dean about this. dean should retaliate by making sam deal with something

SAM Uh, rich people like antiquing. I don't know. DEAN I say we check it out. SAM Uh… (Sighs) All right. In the meantime, you sure you don't wanna talk about – DEAN No. SAM Dean, it's called sublimation. DEAN Yeah. Yeah, it's kinda my thing.

i had to look it up because i was thinking of the science thing but psychologytoday.com says:

Why is sublimation a mature defense? Sublimation is considered a successful defense mechanism because it often leads to positive outcomes—and outcomes that are often better than the alternative. For example, let’s say a man going through a divorce emotes by destroying his ex-wife’s property or lashing out at his son. In the case of sublimation, on the other hand, the man may channel his energy into an important project at work. Even though sublimation is a more productive defense than others, it’s still healthy to fully confront and process the underlying emotions involved.

look at that, it's a mature defense mechanism! something something processing emotions too. details details

miracles of miracles they turned on the lights instead of continuing to poke around in the dark with flashlights (xfiles was very silly about that too, kind of a trope of the genre i suppose. drama!)

hi localhost loopback webmail. that is a very nice little fake email screen though. and peekaboo sam in the mirror

finally someone reacting appropriately to overhearing one of their conversations 😂

keep trying to figure out if nazi boy here just has a bad cut/style/color or it's a wig. this is why i don't remember these episodes. could not care less

send in sam to talk to the girl, they can bond over being vessels for pure evil! lol she called bullshit on sam's lucifer vessel story, very reasonable

neverending fight scene.

ok same kid and now it looks like it is his hair. maybe that was a reshoot or something?

i guess british mol villains not enough cartoon evil, bring in nazi thule whatever douchebag his dad is

haha WAIT! i know this diner LOL. i used it for my archivist painting! and in the process of doing that i was checking the outside views too. i think this is the same clip in fact, just darkened to look like night. did they forget to get an exterior shot of something? now i wonder how often they do this. only reason i recognized it was because i'd spent hours staring at pictures for that painting

s1e20 dead man's blood

s1e20 / s12e5

that is so funny. looks like they took out the searchlight from the car too. babies

sam's reaction to nazi defector boy sliding in is cracking me up. kid's hair back to looking strange. maybe it's the color? it just doesn't look right on his head

mentioning again how great his hair is looking this season! what a turnaround. clearly should tag for me rambling about his hair, like the sideburns. looking at the search for hair on my posts, i talk about everyone's hair. a lot lol (best hair, claire by a mile. ugh. so gorgeous). sigh, back to nazis

i had some weird light golden brown hair for a minute when i was using an old box of dye and i was sick of fighting the white hair. kind of looks like that. also, what were they eating? chocolate pie? cheesecake? cake? stallllling

EXCUSE ME WHAT. wheezing

the matrix (1999) / the magicians s1e4 the world within the walls

reminds me of a cross between the matrix bug and the little gold scorpion thingamajig in the magicians. but way goofier

oki doke

kinda feels like this whole episode was an excuse to get sam to say this. and for the mood pick-me-up of getting to kill hitler for dean

DEAN You know, I was thinkin'… we passed a bakery on the way into town. Sign said, “Best pie for a thousand miles”. SAM So now you want pie? DEAN I killed Hitler. I think I deserve some pie. Did I mention I killed Hitler? SAM I'm never gonna hear the end of this, am I? DEAN Probably not.

very cute

Lips Of An Angel- 2 This is your last chance

This is your last chance

Part 1 Summary- After Jack and the reader’s conversation the night before, Jack finds the first opportunity he can to show up at the readers house. Though their conversation doesn’t go in a way either of them hoped for.

Word Count- 2.2k

Warnings- angst, cheating, lying, divorce, toxic relationship.

A/N- At one point I did consider a happy ending, but that thought didn’t last long. This has to be some of the best angst I’ve ever written. I hope no one hates me for this.

It took longer than Jack would have liked for his girlfriend to leave, having lunch plans with her friends gave Jack the perfect opportunity to sneak off to your place without her noticing. It wasn’t that he didn’t like her, out of all the girlfriends he had he liked her the most, but he still didn’t love her like he loved you. Or at least thought he loved you.

Jack texted you to tell you he was on his way to your apartment, giving you enough time to get ready. You had already texted your boyfriend, Brandon, to see if he was going to come over, he replied saying no, he was hungover, and you told him that it was okay, you would let him rest and you let you know if he changed his mind.

On his way to your place, Jack called Urban. 

“Hey, what’s up?” Urban asked as he answered the phone.

“Hey. I need you to do me a favor.” Jack told Urban.

“What do you need me to do now?” Urban sighed.

“If Chloe calls you, can you tell her I’m with you and we’re doing a reshoot of a photoshoot from last week?” Jack asked, eyes focused on the road as he drove.

“But we didn’t do a photoshoot last week, and we aren’t doing a reshoot.” Urban said confused, Jack sighing this time.

“Yeah, I know. Just do it please.”

“Are you going to see..” Urban started before interrupted.

“Yes, but we don’t need to talk about that.” Jack cut him off. 

“Jack, you know what I’ve told you before, you need to give up on that relationship. I’ll do this for you once, but you need to figure this shit out on your own. I’m not going to help you lie and cheat on your girlfriend.” Urban told him.

“Whatever, I don’t even know if she’ll call you.” Jack told him before they both said goodbye and hung up. Jack had been caught previously by lying and saying he was with Urban, when he really was with you, so he had learned to let Urban know now. Jack even went as far to turn his phone off so Chloe couldn’t check his location.

You two had done this so many times, getting caught for the smallest reason, that over time you got better and better at hiding, learning from each time you got caught. One time it was Jack’s location being on, one time it was your boyfriend showing up unexpectedly, the other it was Jack’s girlfriend calling Urban, and one time it was even as small as your hair tie being left in Jack’s car.

It wasn’t long until Jack was knocking on your door, you opening it to let Jack in. Once you closed the door behind you Jack’s lips were on yours almost immediately. Your hands going to his hair as his were placed on your hips, guiding you to lean you into the door. You both deepened the kiss before Jack pulled away, resting his forehead against yours. 

“Fuck I missed you.” He told you, reaching up to push a strand of your hair behind your ear, his fingertips tracing down your jaw. Gently holding your chin as he pressed his lips to yours once more. 

“I missed you too.” You smiled softly up at him, sliding your hands from the back of his neck, over his shoulders and rested them on his chest. “Let’s talk.” You suggested. 

“But what if I’d rather continue this?” Jack asked, his hands rubbing up and down at your waist. 

“Jack.” You sighed softly. “We need to talk about this.” You told him, and he nodded, dropping his hands from your hips, one of his hands meeting yours.

“Okay, let’s talk.” Jack agreed, leading you to your living room, both of you sitting down on the couch. 

“How long can you stay?” You asked Jack who shrugged.

“I don’t know, Chloe’s at lunch with a friend, so I probably have a couple hours before she starts to get suspicious. How long do you have?” Jack asked.

“I probably have all day honestly. Brandon’s hungover and said he’s not coming over, but if he changes his mind, he should text me, so we’ll have notice.” You said and Jack nodded.

“Do you love Brandon?” Jack asked and you shook your head.

“Not really. I mean he’s nice, but I’m not in love with him.” You explained. “Why did you tell your girlfriend you loved her if you don’t?” You asked Jack.

“I don’t know.” Jack sighed softly. “Chloe told me she loved me, and I just panicked you know. I usually break it off before it gets to that point.” Jack said and you nodded. 

“When was it?” You asked, you weren’t sure why you were asking so many questions about Jack’s new relationship.

“A couple days ago. Maybe a week, I don’t remember.” Jack answered.

“Does she know about us?” You asked.

“What do you mean? Of course, she doesn’t know I’m here.”

“Jack. That’s not what I mean and you know it.” You looked over at him.

“I could ask you the same thing, but I don’t have to because I already know the answer.” Jack retaliated.

“Just fucking answer my question.” You rolled your eyes.

“No. She doesn’t know anything.” Jack answered. “I’m assuming Brandon doesn’t know either.”

“Actually, I told him most of it.” 

“Let me guess. You left out the fact that you didn’t sign the papers.” Jack said and you sighed, confirming he was right. 

Even though you and Jack were only together for about a year, 9 months into your relationship you two got married. It was a last-minute decision, there wasn’t even technically a proposal, Jack just mentioned one day that he wanted to marry you one day.  

Within the next 2 weeks you two were legally married, as much as your friends and family tried to talk the two of you out of it, neither of you listened. You were in love and nothing else mattered. For the next 4 months everything was fine, you both couldn’t have been happier. Until Jack went on tour and your relationship had started to fall apart.

You both sat in silence for a few minutes before Jack broke the silence.

“Can I ask you something that I’ve always thought about, but I’ve never asked?” You nodded.

“Yeah, of course.” You looked over to see Jack already looking over at you.

“Why did you never sign the divorce papers when you’re the one who wanted the divorce?” Jack asked.

“I never wanted to get a divorce, but you fucking cheated on me. You were gone for a week, I joined you on tour a couple days after. You couldn’t even resist a week and a half, and you never told me, I found out 2 weeks later when I overheard you talking about it with Urban. If you would have at least told me, we might have been able to work it out. As much as I don’t want to, I still love you.” You explained.

“You know she meant nothing to me.” Jack argued.

“Yeah, and apparently neither did I because if I did you wouldn’t have cheated on me.” You told him, standing up to walk out of the room, Jack standing up as soon as you started to walk away.

“Don’t do this.” Jack said as you turned to Jack.

“Don’t do what? Don’t tell you how I feel when you ask?” You looked up at him.

“That’s not what I mean. Don’t make this out to be a bigger fucking deal then it is and then storm out of the room when you don’t want to talk about it anymore.” Jack argued.

“I’m making this out to be a bigger deal then it is? You’re the one who cheated.”

“I also wanted to make it work and not go straight for a divorce.” Jack said. Almost all of your conversations got to this point, where both of you were blaming everything on the other until you were yelling at each other.

“Of course you didn’t. You just want to go and sleep around with no consequences. You want to go on tour and be able to have sex with whoever you want then come home to me like nothing happened.” Jack rolled his eyes as you talked.

“Baby, you know it’s not like that.” Jack said, reaching for your arm which you pulled away from him. “You know she didn’t mean shit to me. You know how guilty I feel every day because of it and how many times I’ve apologized.”

“But how many of those apologies have you meant?” You asked.

“Every single one.” Jack said, and part of him did mean it. He did feel guilty, and he did blame himself for your relationship ending, maybe if Jack never cheated your relationship would still be fine.

“You don’t act like it.” You said.

“You can’t act like you’ve been completely innocent. We’re doing the exact same thing now and you can’t fucking deny it.” 

“I don’t claim to be innocent.” You told him.

“Well, you sure do seem to be putting all the blame on me.” Jack said and you sat back down on the couch, leaning back.

“Why do we keep doing this to each other.” You asked, even though you had asked on the phone the night before, it was a question you asked frequently.

“Because we love each other.” Jack said, sitting down next to you. “In some fucked up way we don’t want to live without each other.”

“You’re right.” You sighed, leaning your head on to the side of his arm.

“Can I have another chance to make it right?” Jack asked. As much as you wanted to say no, you couldn’t stop yourself from saying yes.

“This is your last chance. Break up with Chloe, I’ll break up with Brandon, and that’s it, I know I’ve said it before, but I mean it this time.” You said and Jack nodded. 

“Give me a couple weeks and I’ll break up with her.” Jack promised but you sat up.

“You really want a couple weeks?” You asked and Jack nodded.

“I can’t break up with her right now, I just told her I loved her, I need at least 3 weeks, you know how bad it would look if I broke up with her right after I told her I loved her?” Jack tried to reason with you.

“And this doesn’t look bad? That would be worse than what you’re doing to me?” You asked and Jack sighed, running his hands through his hair.

“I know baby. I promise, 3 weeks and it will be worth it.” Jack told you but you shook your head.

“If I give you one more chance, it’s now, not in 3 weeks when it’s convenient for you.” You told him.

“2 weeks?” Jack tried to compromise. “I just can’t risk her telling people and all this getting out. It’s too risky.”

“No, we’re either doing this now, or I’m done for good.” You told him, and he stood up from the couch.

“I’m not going to screw this up this time. We just have to wait.” Jack said.

“You already have screwed this up Jack.” You told him and he threw his hands up.

“Whatever. We’ll talk about this later. I have to go.” Jack said, walking towards the door.

“If you walk out that door, we’re done. I’m not taking you back no matter what you do or what you promise.” You told him, making him pause for a second before turning back towards you, and for a second you thought he might stay.

“You’ve said that so many times I don’t believe you anymore.” Jack said, before turning and walking out the door. He was so certain you would come back to him. In 3 weeks, he could show up at your house and you would get back together with him. It had happened before, so why would this time be any different. 

You sat on the couch for a few minutes until you heard Jack’s car pull out of your driveway. You didn’t think he would walk out, but at the same time you couldn’t be too surprised. It’s happened before. This time was different, you meant it when you said you were done.

You stood up, walking into your bedroom, looking through a few drawers before you finally found what you were looking for. The divorce papers that you never signed. You stared at them for a few seconds. Were you really going to do this and be done with Jack for good, part of you didn’t want to be. You wanted to make it work. You did love him, but the other part of you hated Jack.

You carried the papers into the living room, grabbing a pen on your way by the kitchen. You sat down on the couch, putting the papers on your lap. 

You checked your phone, no texts or calls from Jack, and that’s when you decided to finally do what you should have done 2 years ago. You signed your divorce papers.
