#david holmes: the boy who lived

[alwaysahiccupandastrid]

Just finished watching the David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived documentary about Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double, and it's so heartbreaking to see what happened to David. I don't think anyone is to blame, it was a horrible accident, but just seeing the footage of David doing stunts vs the life he is now living... the way he has chosen to live since the accident is so inspiring, I'm in awe of how he has maintained such a positive and bright outlook on life, but there's no denying that this is definitely not the life he wanted. To go from being a stunt double doing back flips, jumps, etc., to having to have assistance just to get out of bed, to his body beginning to deteriorate, the fact he was still only very young when it happened to him... it's just so upsetting to see.

I'm so glad that his story is being told - obviously it's something I was aware of because I've been a Potter fan since 2009, but it's never been told from David's perspective or with such clarity. It's so wonderful to see that Daniel Radcliffe has maintained such a close bond with David too, visiting him in the hospital back then and even now still going to meet up with him and the other stunt guys, executive producing this documentary... it says a lot about the kind of person Daniel is as well as David, and it's amazing that they've remained friends all this time.

I know we're boycotting everything to do with you-know-who, but this wasn't a documentary about her, she wasn't even mentioned or shown (which was why I hesitated to watch it at first), this wasn't even a documentary about Harry Potter; this was about David Holmes and his story, and I think it's so important to watch it.

Eagle-eyed Merlin fans might catch a glimpse or two of our lovely king as the fearless Gryffindor captain of the David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived documentary (produced by Dan Radcliffe)! :)

Watched the David Holmes documentary and it's so devastating and heartbreaking, while at the same time, so inspiring. I really don't feel I can complain about anything in my life any more. David Holmes is such an inspiring person, such a gleeful man, such a compassionate an understanding soul. Tragically, the documentary to me felt like his farewell letter, to let the world know he was here, he did some fantastic things, he's sorry about putting his loved ones through pain, he loves everyone, he loved his life and his career, he has no hard feelings, and he's going to try his damnest and hardest to stay as long as possible and do good things with every minute of life he's got left. I can only wish he gets a better quality of life and that at least, when everything is over, he'll get to go in peace.

[night-raven-tattler]

Hello there, I recently became a follower and I love your writing so far, keep up the great work and I hope you’re having a wonderful day

I saw that requests are open so if it’s alright, can I get headcannons of the first years (separate) and shows/movies they’d enjoy watching with the reader?

Thought it’ll be pretty fun and an excuse for me to get recommendations lol, thank you!

Hello, Aesthetic! Thank you for your kind words! This was a bit of a challenge for Mx Tattly, since they are not a huge movie person. However she hopes you still enjoy his takes. They also wrote from the perspective of the Prefect/Yuu having access to some movies from their world of origin. Enjoy!

Movie night, otherworldly edition

Characters: Grim, Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel, Ortho, Sebek and GN!Reader (separate)

Warnings: food mention (Epel's part)

By opening the document, you agree to Mx Tattly's terms of source confidentiality.

-ˋˏ’✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

Grim's preffered genres are: comedy, action, animation, fantasy

Grim trully is a child at heart, and all the colorful characters and scenes from animation have him hooked

He also enjoys a good laugh, especially visual gags

He barely has any attention to spare for a series, so movies are his preffered format

He would never admit it but he's a sucker for found family

Silent movie crier

Loud denier

Some favorites from your world: Home; Bolt; That one Wizard Boy Movie we Don't mention in This Household; he has a weird relationship with Ace Ventura

『••✎••』

Ace's preffered genres are: horror, thriller, action, adventure

He enjoys gorey stuff and being the guy you hide behind of when the scenes get too much, but he needs time to prepare for psychological horror

Ace is the type to look up spoilers before watching something and he tries to trick you into believing his made up version of the plot

He talks a lot during movies but hates when others do it

While he enjoys a good adventure movie, he hates superhero movies and he thinks they're silly

He prefers movies over series because he likes the format more, but he's down for a short series

Some favorites from your world: The Mummy; Jumanji (he loves making fun of it); American Psycho; Scary Movie

『••✎••』

Deuce's preffered genres are: action, adventure, animation, family movies

He is pretty easy to please, he'd watch anything that is entertaining

Definitely a Marvel fan

He also loves animation movies, the animation always leaves him awestruck

He likes movies about families and their bonds

Deuce is also surprisingly into medical dramas... but also cop dramas

He is a crier as well but only when he's just with you

Some favorites from your world: Black Panther; The Rookie; A Goofy movie; Police Academy 2

『••✎••』

Jack's preferred genres are: documentary, adventure, romance, dramas and telenovelas with a bit of nudging

Jack is the type of guy to retain various informations after watching something

He can sometimes memorise entire scenes, and he finds that habit less annoying when he watches documentaries; he likes something informative and motivational

Jack also enjoys some romance movies sometimes, but he is very picky so it's hard for him to find one he actually likes

He does, however, like to point out and comment on the weird courting habits humans have

Jack finds telenovelas and soap operas kind of nonsensical and overly dramatic, but he also gets hooked on the plot pretty quick and soon enough it would become a bit of a guilty pleasure

Some favorites from your world: David Holmes, the boy who lived; the social dilemma; Love, Simon; Yo soy Betty la fea

『••✎••』

Epel's preferred genres are: comedy, action, western, anything he can mock and make fun of

If you think Ace is bad with his mid watch commentary, Epel is 10 times worse

He mocks things in movies so often he's giving Cinema Sins a run for their money

He won't shut up even if you give him all the snacks, he'll talk while eating

He also has the most colourful, boisterous, ridiculous laughter imaginable (and I say that lovingly), so if the comedy movie is not making you laugh then Epel's laughter is

Epel is not a picky watcher so he can get behind anything that isn't too sappy

If you pull out anything with Vil on the poster though he will dematerialise from your couch

Some favorites from your world: Rush Hour; Desperado; Puss in Boots 2; any Fast and Furious movie (unfortunately)

『••✎••』

Ortho's preferred genres are: anything he finds intriguing, family movies

If anything, Ortho has a wide palate and can enjoy almost anything

He also knows how a movie ends before he watches it, but it never ruins his enjoyment

He never spoils anyone unless they try to argue with him about the direction of the plot

Most of his interest in movies came from wanting to understand human behavior better, but now he can just use them as a time killer or sleepover material

He also likes watching your reactions to the movies: how often you laugh, how often you cry, how often you reach for snacks

A favorite from your world: Big Hero 6

『••✎••』

Sebek's preferred genres are: historical films, (period) dramas, musicals with the right nudge

Listen here, musical enjoyers. Here is the most susceptible one to being convinced to join the dark side

One word: Hamilton.

Yes, he'll think the music is nonsensical, BUT he'll also tap his foot to it

AND if you say anything about teaching him something from the soundtrack to surprise Malleus with, he's all ears

He is also very quick to get songs stuck in his head: he's easy prey

All jokes aside, Sebek can be a good watch buddy when his interest is piqued

Not even he can deny when a movie has good plot and characters

He does prefer period dramas, since he has a soft spot for the setting

And historical films: a nerd do be nerding even during movie nights

Some favorites from your world: The Crown, Hamilton, Les Miserables, maybe Oppenheimer but it would be used in his anti-human agenda

『••✎••』

Speaking of Oppenheimer...

Well, let's discuss Barbenheimer.

Everyone went to watch both movies:

Ace went dressed in pink for the both of them

Deuce got confused by the "dresscode" and apologised to you for not knowing about it

Jack and Ortho enjoyed both

Epel insisted he liked Oppenheimer more but he's lying

Sebek cried at the end of Barbie

Grim is the only one who in fully in Oppenheimer's corner

Hello everyone! This is Mr. Nightingale or Demian for the friends, he/him, I'm a trans boy but fuck genderrrrrr.

My current hyperfixation is Dead Boy Detectives and Doctor Who. I'm Edwin Payne, and I live in pain.

I'm an artist, I draw and write and dance! I love dancing.

→ All my stuff is tagged with #my art and reblogged on @mrnightingale-art so you can find it easily. Mainly drawings for the moment, maybe some random thoughts and poems. I'M NOT DOING COMMISSIONS.

-> #my post is for... Well, everything that's not reblogged XD

→ #save for later is for useful things and posts I'd like to draw in the near future.

→ #Edwin meets Punk is for my silly AU set in the 80s where Charles drags Edwin in the punk scene.

→ I'm working in a payneland longfic comic! (it's a comic now lol) that'll see the light of Tumblr... Some day. The playlist (suggestions are welcome):

I also like: BBC Sherlock, Sherlock & Co, Good Omens, Sandman, OFMD, Hannibal, Arcane, etc.

I've always loved musicals, fav is Hamilton bc of ✨leimotiv✨, also Epic and The Hunchback of Notre Dame musical, but I don't know much more, so every recommendation is welcomed.

Literature: ✨Oscar Wilde✨ Shakespeare, Dostoievsky, Poe. Fav Books: Demian (Hesse), Maurice (Forster), Jekyll & Hyde (Stevenson) and Dorian Gray. Lots of Sherlock Holmes and Arsène Lupin.

Music: ✨Queen✨, David Bowie, The Clash, anything in the 70/80s, lots of punk and post-punk. Recently I started listening Ska only bc of Charles Rowland (and the fic I'm trying to write). And I also love classical music, yk, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Paganini, Chopin. I'm rather old-fashioned. And Måneskin. They're like, one of the few modern bands I really like and still listen to.

I love learning languages! I intend to study English at uni, (mother tongue is Spanish) but I also know French, and a little bit of Italian and Russian. Yep, I'm insane, and I pretend to keep going (prolly German, eventually Latin and Greek), it's a rabbit hole thing, yk. But actually I'd like to work on cinema and be a film director. Or maybe an actor, apparently I'm good at acting??? I mean, I'm in the theater club at school and I don't suck completely at it. Idk.

Yep, I suck at this sry.
