Doctor Who Theme: Round 1

Seasons 18-22

"The new theme was arranged by Peter Howell using his Yamaha CS-80, ARP Odyssey and Roland Jupiter 4 synthesisers as well as his EMS Vocoder, and some additional processing to that recording. [...] The opening and closing themes followed the pattern set in 1970 [...] However, Howell's theme began in the key of F-sharp minor. This obligated incidental music composers to end their final cue of the episode in the highly unusual key, or something complimentary. Howell therefore has called himself "the guy who just made it difficult for everybody". (DCOM: Meglos) Beyond this unusual feature, his opening remained unchanged aside from some very minor alterations to coincide with the revised Sixth Doctor opening sequence from The Twin Dilemma and his closing included the "middle eight" and ended with an explosive sound (nicknamed the "sonic boom" and complimented by the white-out effect at the end of the credits). This theme was used from Season 18 through Season 22."

Season 23

"Season 23 saw another new arrangement by Dominic Glynn. It was more haunting and ethereal than the previous themes, but very similar to Peter Howell's arrangement in most respects (enough so that the opening graphics remained unchanged from the final Howell season). The theme was in the E Minor key."

Here's How Peter Howell Remixed the #DoctorWho Theme Tune in the 1980s

Fans of the Doctor Who theme (and who isn’t, eh?) should check out this BBC report from 1982 in which Peter Howell describes how he went about revamping the programme’s famous opening tune. The clip was originally screened on 2nd February 1982 as part of The Music Arcade: Electricity in Music. Peter gives a detailed run through of his use of polyphonic analogue synthesisers, a vocoder, and an…

[mickmeasley]

made a midislap remix of it (was a little tough since the midis note alignment and bpm automation was real janky) but im pretty proud of it. worked in some of that 6th doctor dominic glynn atmosphere, 12th doctor tubular bells, 7th doctor posh harpsichord on the middle 8, some "Cristobal Tapia De Veer" inspo for the instrumentation, and my own personal touch of the rock guitar intro sting. pretty proud of it, especially when that middle 8 hits

if you know who made this old ass midi file please give them my regards

How you hug

Jonah Hauer-King

He's just a sweetheart. He'll hold out his arms, asking for a hug rather than just giving one because he doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable in public.

And then when you return the hug, his arms will just wrap around you securely and he'll lightly caress your shoulder with his thumb.

He loves burying his face in the crook of your neck as well and just take in your scent.

And when you're alone, this man won't be able to keep his hands off you (respectfully and consentually, of course). No matter how or which position, he'll have you in his arms.

Tom Glynn-Carney

(Sorry, couldn't find a gif of him hugging that fit)

Tom puts his everything into hugs. While it can be a small hug sometimes, he usually likes to pick you up. Especially after he's been away for a while and you come to pick him up at the airport.

He'll pick you up with ease, his hands on your back (or a little lower) and your legs wrapped around him. It's as if you are the only two people in existence.

Ewan Mitchell

(Sorry, couldn't find a gif of him hugging that fit)

Ewan is a tease and he simply loves hugging you from behind. He'll slide his hands from your hips to wrap around your waist and pull you into his chest.

He'll probably also sneakily press a kiss to your temple, cheek, neck or shoulder as well.

Matt Smith

Matt just loves to hug you tightly, wrap his arms around your shoulders and whisper sweet nothings into your ear.

This man is a gem and he would just lightly rub your back and tell you he loves you and all that.

Joseph Morgan

It's almost as if the world would end if he were to let go of you. At least, that's what he'd make it feel like.

In public he usually will stick to more of a small hug or a side hug, but among close friends, family or just the two of you, he will hold you as if his life depended on it.

He'll just wrap his arms around you, put one hand in your neck or on the back of your head to keep you close and sink into you.

Daniel Gillies

Much like Joseph, Daniel likes to just hold you close, but what mostly differs them, is that Daniel is more of a tease and more sneaky.

While he'll have one hand on the back of your head, cradling your neck or somewhere on your back, his other hand will most definetely be on your ass. It's just a little thing he likes to do, remind himself that you were really his and he was the only one who could hold you like that.

Paul Wesley

No matter how much of a jokester or tease Paul normally was, he was not about your hugs.

He would take you into a big bear hug, his arms around your shoulders, and just squeeze you close, swaying from side to side.

Don't get me wrong, he likes the occasional tap on your butt, but he preferes your hugs to be something special. As an actor he has to do a lot of intimate things with other women, which is why, when it comes to you, he likes to show his affections through the simplicity of a good hug.

Ian Somerhalder

Ian is very protective of the people he loves, and it shows through in the way he hugs.

His arms will wrap around you and he'll rest his chin on top of your head, holding you close, but not too tightly.

He likes to just have you close, make sure that you know he's there and how much he loves you, and his hugs really show that.

Chris Wood

Chris isn't much of a hugger, apart from the occasional ones, he usually sticks to just putting his hand on your shoulder or on your hip.

What he is, is a cuddler.

Whenever one of you are sitting or laying around somewhere, he'll find an excuse to cuddle.

If he's sitting on the couch, he'll nod for you to come over with a cheeky grin and then just pull you into his side, let your arms wrap around him and stroke your back, or play with your hair.

If, let's say, you visit him on set and are seated in his chair, he'll simply pick you up, earning lots of giggles as he sits down with you in his lap, his arms around your waist.

Jensen Ackles

Jensen gives more of a classic type of hug. His arms wrapping around you before he moves his hand up to stroke through your hair and cradle the back of your head.

He would be a little stiff at first, but after every hug you notice him growing a little softer, more comfortable.

Jared Padalecki

I know the gif is with Jensen, but I felt like it best captured Jared.

This man is as goofy as goofy can be. Look it up in the dictionary, you'll find his name.

Jared would just wrap his arms around you, locking you in his embrace and lift you up, teasing you that you're so small (most people are small compared to him).

It's silly, but he knows that it always makes you laugh, and that's his goal.

Especially when either of you have a bad day, he knows his sillyness will cheer you up, as the sound of your laughter does that for him. It's his little way of showing you he cares and that he feels comfortable enough with you to be his goofy self.

Matthew Daddario

Matt is a simple, affectionate man.

He loves having you near, wrapping a casual arm around your shoulders.

His hugs would be different depending on the reason for the hug. If it's just a hug, he'll wrap an arm around your shoulders and pull you into his chest. If it's because either of you is upset about something, he'll slide his arms around your waist and draw you in like that and if it's out of happiness or excitement, he'll wrap his arms around your waist and give you a small spin.

Dominic Sherwood

(Sorry, couldn't find a gif of him hugging that fit)

Dominic is an affectionate man and he doesn't shy away from showing you how much he cares about you, even through little things such as hugs.

He'll put his arms around you and just give you a big, good hug, whether you're alone, with friends and family, or out in public, he doesn't care. He knows you're his (and he's yours) and he's not afraid to show it.

Dylan O'Brien

If there was any possible way to hug you tighter, he would.

He's silly and goofy most of the time, but he's also very much in touch with his emotions and a vulnarable man. He won't always say it, but your hugs are his favorite thing.

He especially loves it when you are the one to initiate the hug as to him it's a sign that you want him around and that you like holding him as much as he loves being held by him.

You'll put your arms under his shoulders and his arms would lock around you as he'd pepper the side of your face and your shoulder with kisses, all to convey his love for you and show how much he cares about you.

Tom Holland

He likes to hug you from behind, let you know that even though you don't always see him, he loves you and he wants to hold you.

His arms would wrap around your shoulders and he'll press a kiss to your cheek before burying his face in your shoulder.

He especially loves it when you put your hand over his wrist and reach your other hand back to move through his hair as he finds the simple touch very comforting.

Josh Hutcherson

Random hugs are his favorite.

No reason behind it other than wanting to have you in his arms.

His arms wrapped around your waist, his chin on your shoulder. Short, but sweet.

As he would pull away, he'd give your ass a small tap or press a quick peck to your cheek.

Really, just short and sweet.

But also often.

VERY often.

If you come to visit him on set and they're looking for him, he'll most likely be off somewhere with you in his arms.

Tom Blyth

As stated before, Tom is a very affectionate person, so he will not miss up on the oppertunity to hug you.

When he comes back from filming, when you visit him or when you simply see each other again, he would practically tackle you in a hug.

His arms would wrap around your waist and being quite tall, he'd just pick you up in his arms, probably earning giggles and laughter.

Except when you're feeling down or having a bad day.

Then he'd wrap one arm around your waist and another around your shoulders, holding you close and hugging you tightly until you're feeling at least a little bit better.

One Night // Tom Glynn-Carney x f!Reader

Summary: Where reader goes out with her friends and meets this charming, sweet (and so fucking) hot guy in a club.

A/N: This is the first fic I have published based on a real person. I don't know Tom, this is just puuuure fiction, thank you very much! It's actually just a short little One-Shot :)

Ship: Tom Glynn-Carney x Reader

Warnings: Language (is it tho?), mentions of having sex, use of alcohol, One Night Stand

You have always thought of yourself as a pretty ordinary person. You had a decent job, a decent apartment, and a group of friends that you could count on for a good time. So when your best friend, Emily, suggested you go out to a trendy new club in London, you thought, why not?

The club was packed, the music loud enough to make you feel it in your chest. You weren't usually one for these kinds of places, preferring a quiet pub or a cozy night in with a book. But tonight, something felt different. You wanted to let loose, to forget about the mundane for just one night.

After a few drinks and a lot of dancing, you found yourself at the bar, slightly tipsy and in need of a break. That’s when you noticed him. A man standing beside you, ordering a drink with an easy confidence. He had a rugged charm about him, with tousled blonde hair and an intense gaze that seemed to see right through you.

“Having a good time?” he asked, his voice smooth and inviting.

“Yeah, better than I expected,” you replied with a smile. “I’m Y/N, by the way.”

“Tom,” he said, extending a hand. You shook it, feeling a strange spark at the touch.

You chatted for a while and you found yourself genuinely enjoying his company. He was funny, down-to-earth, and didn’t seem to have any of the pretentiousness you often encountered in these places. He didn’t mention his job, and you didn’t ask. You talked about music, movies, and travel – all the things that made life interesting.

Your laughter mingled with the thumping bass of the music, your body moving freely to the rhythm. Tom's eyes, a striking shade of blue, sparkled under the dim club lights as he leaned in closer. Your conversation flowed effortlessly, a seamless exchange of stories and laughter that felt strangely intimate for two people who had just met.

Before you knew it, the night had flown by, and the club was starting to thin out. Tom glanced around, then leaned in, his breath warm against your ear. "Do you want to go somewhere quieter? Maybe talk without shouting over the music?"

You hesitated for a brief moment, then nodded. There was something about Tom that made you want to throw caution to the wind, to embrace this rare sense of spontaneity. "Sure, why not?"

You walked through the bustling streets of London, the cool night air a refreshing contrast to the heat of the club. Tom hailed a cab, and you slid into the back seat, a comfortable silence settling between you. The ride was short, and soon, you stood in front of a sleek, modern apartment building. Tom unlocked the door and gestured for you to enter.

You stepped inside, taking in the stylish decor. The apartment was a perfect blend of modern chic and cozy comfort, with clean lines, soft lighting, and personal touches that hinted at Tom’s personality. He led you to the living room, where a leather sofa dominated the space, flanked by bookshelves filled with an eclectic mix of literature and knick-knacks.

"Make yourself comfortable," Tom said, heading to the open-plan kitchen. "What can I get you to drink?"

"Surprise me," you replied, sinking into the plush cushions of the sofa. You watched as Tom expertly mixed two drinks, his movements confident and precise. He handed you a glass, your fingers brushing briefly, sending a jolt of electricity through you.

"To unexpected nights," Tom toasted, raising his glass.

"To unexpected nights," you echoed, clinking her glass against his while you were blushing slightly.

You sipped your drinks, the alcohol warming you from the inside out. The conversation picked up where it had left off, but now there was an added layer of intimacy. You sat close, your knees touching, voices low and hushed. Tom's gaze never left your face, his eyes tracing your features as if trying to memorize them.

The air between you grew charged, the unspoken tension crackling like static. You felt your pulse quicken, your breath coming in shallow bursts. Tom set his glass down and leaned in, his hand gently cupping your cheek. He paused for a heartbeat, searching your eyes for any sign of hesitation. When he found none, he closed the distance, his lips capturing yours in a kiss that was both tender and passionate, making your heartbeat quicken.

You melted into the kiss, your arms wrapping around his neck as you pulled him closer. The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of you lost in the moment. The kiss deepened, your bodies pressed together, a hunger igniting between you.

Tom's hands roamed over your back, tracing the curve of your spine while your fingers tangled in his hair. You broke apart briefly, gasping for air, your foreheads resting together. "Are you sure about this?" Tom whispered, his voice husky with desire.

"More than sure," you replied breathlessly, your heart pounding in her chest.

What followed was a whirlwind of passion and desire. Clothes were shed hastily, discarded in a trail leading to the bedroom. You moved together with an urgency that bordered on desperation, your bodies finding a rhythm that felt both new and familiar. Tom's touch was gentle yet firm, his kisses searing a path across your skin. You felt more alive than you had in a long time, every nerve ending alight with pleasure.

You finally fell asleep in each other’s arms, your bodies entwined, the city outside just a distant hum. The night had been a blur, but one thing was clear: it was a night neither of you would soon forget.

You woke up to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains. You carefully slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake Tom. You dressed quietly, glancing back at him, a sense of something deeper stirring within you. You shook it off, knowing this was a one-night stand, nothing more.

You scribbled a quick note thanking him for a wonderful night and left it next to Tom before slipping out the door. The cool morning air hit your face as you stepped outside, swirling within you a mix of exhilaration, confusion, and a hint of sadness.

Back in the apartment, Tom woke up to find the note. He cursed softly under his breath, realizing he had forgotten to ask for your number. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the note in his hand, feeling a strange emptiness. For once, he had met someone who treated him like a normal person who didn’t care about his fame or his job. And now you were gone.

You walked through the quiet streets of London, replaying the events of the night in your mind. You knew it was just a fleeting moment, a brief escape from reality, but it was a night you would never forget, a night that made you feel truly alive.

As you reached your apartment, you couldn’t help but wonder what might have been. But you pushed the thought away, determined to hold onto the memory of a perfect night with no regrets. Life would go on, but you would always have that one night in London, with a man named Tom.

Later that morning, Tom found himself at their usual rehearsal spot, a grungy but cozy studio tucked away in East London. The rest of the Sleep Walking Animals were already there, casually tuning their instruments and chatting amongst themselves.

“Morning, mate,” Joe greeted Tom, plucking at his guitar strings.

“Morning,” Tom replied, his voice absent-minded.

Alex, noticing Tom’s distraction, smirked. “Someone’s got their head in the clouds. Or should I say, still in bed with that hot Y/H/C from last night?”

Tom shot him a look. “Shut it, Alex.”

“Oh, come on, Tommy boy,” Bill chimed in, drumming a rhythm on the edge of a table. “You looked proper smitten when you left the club. She must’ve been something special.”

“She was,” Tom admitted, slumping down onto a battered old couch. “But she buggered off before I could even ask for her number.”

“Savage,” Jack said, shaking his head. “Didn’t even leave a name or nothing?”

“She did,” Tom replied, running a hand through his hair. “Y/N. That’s all I got.”

“Y/N,” Nuwan mused, his fingers dancing over the keys absentmindedly. “Could be anyone, mate.”

“Thanks, Captain Obvious,” Tom muttered, frustration evident in his tone. “It’s just... I dunno, she was different. Didn’t give a fuck about who I am or what I do. Just treated me like a normal person.”

“Well, you are a normal person, mostly,” Joe teased. “Except when you’re whining about a girl like a lovesick puppy.”

“Oh, fuck off,” Tom said, but there was a hint of a smile.

“Can’t believe she just legged it,” Bill said, shaking his head in mock disapproval. “What, were you that bad in bed?”

The room erupted in laughter, and Tom threw a cushion at Bill. “Piss off, Caple. It was great, thank you very much.”

Alex leaned over, grinning. “So, did you shag or not?”

Tom rolled his eyes but couldn’t help the grin spreading across his face. “Yeah, we did. And it was... it was amazing.”

“Sounds like you’ve got it bad, mate,” Jack said, strumming a chord on his bass. “Bet you wish you could find her again.”

“Yeah,” Tom admitted, his voice softer now. “I really do.”

The guys exchanged looks, the teasing dropping away for a moment.

“Look, mate,” Joe said, more seriously. “We’ve got a gig tonight. Maybe you’ll meet someone else who’s just as cool. Don’t get too hung up on one girl.”

Tom nodded, knowing Joe was right but still feeling the pang of regret. “Yeah, I suppose.”

Nuwan started playing a familiar tune on the keys, and the rest of the band gradually joined in. The music filled the room, and for a while, Tom let it carry him away, the notes and rhythms a welcome distraction from thoughts of you.

But even as they played, your face lingered in his mind, a reminder of a night that felt all too fleeting and a connection that was painfully out of reach.

You sat with your friends at your favorite coffee shop, a cozy little place with mismatched furniture and a laid-back vibe. Emily, Sarah, and Jess were all there, sipping on their drinks and catching up on the latest gossip. You knew it was only a matter of time before the conversation turned to you.

“So, Y/N,” Jess started with a sly grin, “anything interesting happen last night? You disappeared from the club pretty quick.”

You felt your cheeks flush. “Maybe.”

“Maybe?” Sarah echoed, her eyebrows raised. “Come on, spill it! Who was the guy?”

“His name’s Tom,” you said, trying to sound casual. “We met at the bar, hit it off, and... well, I went back to his place.”

“Oh my God, Y/N!” Emily exclaimed, nearly spilling her latte. “You had a one-night stand? With a guy you just met?”

“Yeah, I did,” you admitted, unable to hide your smile. “And it was amazing.”

“Details, please,” Jess demanded, leaning in. “How was he? What was his place like?”

“He was... incredible,” you said, feeling the warmth of the memory. “Funny, down-to-earth, and not full of himself. His place was pretty stylish too, very him.”

“Sounds like a dream,” Sarah sighed. “And you didn't get his number?”

You shrugged. “No, I left early, and he was still asleep. I didn’t want to wake him. Besides, it was just a one-night thing.”

“Still,” Emily said, shaking her head, “you should’ve left your number or something. What if he wants to see you again?”

“I doubt it,” you said, trying to sound nonchalant. “He probably doesn’t even remember my name.”

“You never know,” Jess said with a wink. “Maybe he’s thinking about you right now, regretting not getting your number.”

“Yeah, right,” you said, but a small part of you couldn’t help but hope Jess was right.

“Anyway,” Emily said, changing the subject, “my brother’s got tickets to this gig tonight. Some indie band. He asked me to come, and I thought it could be fun. You guys in?”

“Who’s the band?” Sarah asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

“Sleep Walking Animals,” Emily replied. “Ever heard of them?”

“Sounds vaguely familiar,” Jess said, shrugging. “Why not? I’ve got nothing better to do.”

“Same here,” Sarah agreed. “Could be fun.”

“What about you, Y/N?” Emily asked. “Got any plans tonight?”

You shook her head. “Nope, nothing. I’m in.”

“Great!” Emily said, clapping her hands. “It’s a plan then. We’ll meet up at my place and head over together.”

As you finished your coffees and chatted about other things, you felt a strange sense of anticipation building inside you. You weren't sure why, but the thought of going to this gig excited you. Maybe it was just the idea of a night out with your friends, or maybe, somewhere deep down, you hoped for something more.

TOM GLYNN-CARNEY INTERVIEWED BY VARIETY MAGAZINE.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE SEEING THE MAKEUP AND PROSTHETIC FOR AEGON'S APPEARANCE AFTER ROOK'S REST?

"The testing stage was long, and took a while to nail what we were gonna go for."

"Lots of different versions."

"The one we settled on was gnarly, to say the least."

HOW DID IT FEEL WEARING THE MAKEUP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE EPISODE? WAS THERE ANY POINT WHERE YOU DISCUSSED WAKING UP FOR A BRIEF SCENE? IN “FIRE & BLOOD,” AEGON IS OUT FOR A YEAR, SO I WAS CURIOUS THE EXTENT TO WHICH AEGON WILL BE OUT OF COMMISSION?

"Well, no, we couldn’t give Aemond a year or two to enjoy his position."

"We had to speed up time a little bit."

"But it was great."

"It was restrictive in all the right ways."

"It was claustrophobic."

"It informed the way that I breathe and move and spoke, whenever I did."

"I was very grateful to be included in the discussion process, from conception stage to the end."

HAVE YOU CREATED A NEW VOICE FOR AEGON FOR WHEN HE'S ABLE TO SPEAK AGAIN?

"I didn’t create a new voice."

"I did a lot of research into how intense heat and burns can affect your vocal folds, and just completely decimate them."

"Obviously I couldn’t do that to myself, so I had to find a way to replicate it."

"It was something that I had to definitely consider going into this new stage of Aegon."

"He has to feel changed, like he’s shifted."

"And I hope that reads eventually."

IN HIS INCAPACITATED STATE, DOES AEGON KNOW AEMOND DELIBERATELY ATTACKED AND BURNED HIM? HOW DO YOU INTERPRET THE FINAL SCENE OF EPISODE 4, WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE AEMOND IS EITHER SHEATHING HIS SWORD WHEN HE APPROACHES AEGON, OR HE'S GOING IN FOR THE KILL?

"That’s for the audience to decide."

"I can’t comment on that."

"I don’t want to tell people what to think."

"That’s up for grabs."

AEGON AND SUNFYRE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SCENE TOGETHER IN EPISODE 4 WHEN HE RIDES HIM. WHAT LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY DOES AEGON FEEL FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS DRAGON?

"He is very important to Aegon."

"What I enjoyed about that moment was that there was a little bit of a light shown on their relationship to each other, and the vulnerability between the two of them."

"It’s funny, I have a beautiful golden retriever, and on the day we had that scene, it was as if it were Ziggy, my dog, sort of pushing my chest."

"It felt like it was him."

"So any interaction I’m having there with Sunfyre is like having my own dog."

"There’s an understanding and appreciation of each other, and they don’t see each other as often as they would like, but there’s probably good reason for that."

"It lends itself to showing Aegon’s vulnerability and that softer side that I’ve tried to carve out a little bit more of this season."

SO AEGON WOULD FEEL SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

"Of course."

"It’s like taking your dog for a walk and he gets hit by a car."

"That’s my fault."

HOW DOES TAKING AEGON OFF THE BOARD AFFECT ALICENT AND THE GREENS?

"Well, from Aegon’s bed, he probably thinks it gives her a little bit more room to be more of a dominant force in the small council."

"It frees up that seat at the end of the table."

'I don’t think in Aegon’s bed he’s thinking': — “Oh, Aemond’s probably going to sit there as prince regent.”

SO YOU DON'T THINK AEGON THOUGHT AEMOND HAD INTENTIONS OF SITTING ON THE IRON THRONE? BACK IN SEASON 1, THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE AEGON DIDN'T EVENT WANT THE THRONE, BUT AEMOND BROUGHT HIM BACK TO SERVE.

"I think that’s where that idea at the start of Season 2 was born, where Aegon is talking about how Aemond’s as loyal as a dog and will attack enemies on command and knows his place within the realm."

"But that coin can flip at any moment."

"We’re all dancing on a knife’s edge, and all it takes is one little push from one side."

"With the volatility that runs in Targaryen blood, there’s always potential for betrayal."

"But then again, was it intentional? Who the hell knows?"

WHAT WOULD WESTEROS BE LIKE WITH AEMOND AS KING?

"He’d be a steel fist, wouldn’t he? I think he’d be quite cutthroat, and a cold king probably."

"At least from the outset, he’d want people to fear him."

"He often talks about being bullied as a child, so he probably wants to reinstate himself as a secure, powerful man who won’t be messed with, which could be dangerous in a kingly position."

Pairing : Ewan Mitchell x Bestfriend!Reader, Tom Glynn-Carney x Bestfriend!Reader, Matt Smith x Bestfriend!Reader (not specified who, and they will only be referred to as He or his)

Summary : After being friends for a long time, you both decided to take your relationship to the next stage.

i got inspiration from reading this amazing story, thank you love.

The concepts of soulmates is questionable, as most people have at least discussed once. But, it is undeniable in this situation as the way he and your chemistry aligns is evidently wonderful. The lad has informed his girlfriend one time that he is one amongst the fortunate few to discover a home in someone.

“You really are the personification of my greatest decision to have ever made.” he breaks the peaceful and comfortable silence. He can't help but smile quietly at the rims of his lips. “And I’m generally the one who makes poor choices.”

You steals glances on your man, shaking your head, and returns a delicate chuckle. “I’ve known it since the beginning.”

Then laughter dominates between you two, with warmth pouring from their never-ending conversation, which largely consists of reminiscing about their first everything.

“Can’t believe a common friend will bring us here.” you admits with a string of pleased giggle, “I’m never a fan of stumbling into each other, but I’ll never not dislike it with you.”

After a brief second, the other side hums in agreement, scooting closer to the young lady with the same fond expression.

“My home, my best company, my safe haven, my everything. Thank you, baby, for being my person.”

Yours breath hitches on the throat once your body is colliding with him. You sneaks your arms to wrap around your boyfriend’s neck instinctively, leaving no space in between the two of you. When he slides his hand up to the side of yours hips, slowly lifting your white shirt up and exposing your naked skin, a gasp escapes your lips.

It’s warm, and just a mere touch from him sets all your nerves ablaze, igniting something inside you. You slowly rocks your hips to grind against his, tilting up to lock gaze with him.

He mumbles, "You’re driving me insane," to which you simply smiles in delight and then presses your lips together.

Fancasting The Secret History

sharing my vision of who could play these classics students

i tried to be as realistic as possible, considering their book descriptions and casting actors close in age to each other and their characters. after seeing so many of the same names in these fancasts, i wanted to throw some new ones in the mix!

henry's a big guy, dark-haired, square-jawed, bespectacled — he basically looks like clark kent/superman. so my thought process went to henry cavill look-alike, jamie flatters (b. 2000). coincidentally, my old fancast was david corenswet, so i guess it all checks out. i only know jamie from avatar: the way of water, but based on his music videos, i think he's got the acting chops to capture henry's more unhinged side that he lets slip idk

to me, bunny is the most american out of the group because of his family background, it's even described as "an upbringing vitally present in Bunny in every respect, from the way he shook your hand to the way he told a joke." saw this rudy pankow (b. 1998) casting suggestion on mycast and it just made total sense to me. having watched him as jj maybank in outer banks, i know he can capture how obnoxious bunny can be, and he'll do well trying to annoy every character and pushing their buttons.

admittedly, this was a hard one because i originally had tom glynn-carney in mind but i wanted someone younger, so i didn't go too far and went with ty tennant (b. 2002) who's played the younger version of his characters twice now. i mean if you think about it, aegon ii targaryen and charles have a couple things in common: both are alcoholics and have an incestuous relationship with their sister 😭 since charles and camilla look androgynous and described as angels, i figured ty looks the part. i also believe in ty's acting skills to portray charles' complexity as the story goes on.

i thought of young actresses who resembled ty and went with thomasin mckenzie (b. 2000), who i loved in jojo rabbit and last night in soho. i know thomasin would look good as a blonde, but more importantly, she's got the face for period dramas. camilla is enigmatic, but i think richard just saw her as like an ingénue, so i figured thomasin can do that layered performance.

thought and long hard for who to cast as francis because i'm so tired of seeing the same redhead actors or some random redhead model 😭 thank goodness luther ford (b. 1999/2000) has been discovered. his portrayal in the crown sold me because it was very francis of him to just sit around drinking booze and smoking while dressed in modern princely clothing.

another inspired casting suggestion i saw on mycast — physically, i think dominic sessa (b. 2002) truly fits the bill; i like that he's not your conventionally good-looking guy too. acting-wise, he was incredible in the holdovers. and i believe he could put so much more personality to richard papen's character.

might make a part 2 for other characters like julian morrow and judy poovey :> thanks for checking this out and let me know if you see the vision!

p.s. it's never gonna happen but it'd be interesting to just see this set of actors get together because they seem like a bunch of introverts 😭 they might bond over taking film photos of each other though so that's cool

stephen is such a funny engine. he was the one who was so paranoid over being replaced by glynn yet he’s also the one who’s the most ecstatic when sir robert told him that he and glynn will be working together at the end of Over The Hill. stephen tried to assert his dominance like mentioning his historical importance and age and speed and expect glynn to react negatively yet glynn just agreed and went "yeah you’re cool! this place's cool " and stephen's so baffled and glynn asked if he's okay. what’s his issue

Finished my cover of the Doctor Who theme, here is the opening variant. It's highly inspired and takes elements from Dominic Glynn's 1986 version and Murray Gold's 2014 version.

How you kiss

Jonah Hauer-King

Jonah is a pretty private person and can easily be flustered, so he won't be one to show a lot of PDA in public. He will occasionally press a kiss to your cheek, temple or on top of your head, but it is only in private when he will actually really kiss you. He'll just look at you, his eyes flicking between your eyes and lips and he'll playfully brush his nose over yours, letting you be the one to actually connect your lips.

While he will not really kiss you in public, he will more than make up for it when you two are together. He'll take any chance he can to coax you into giving him a kiss and proceed to teasingly pepper your lips with small kisses before ending up giving you a good, deep kiss.

Tom Glynn-Carney

Tom is a tease and you cannot convince me otherwise. He would not be big on PDA, but not against it either. He'll just lean in and brush his lips on yours, waiting for you to kiss back before really deepening the kiss. And sometimes, even though you kiss back, he'd just pull back with a smirk, enjoying the flustered look on your face when he teases you.

His kisses are either very sweet and soft or hot and passionate and there is no inbetween.

Ewan Mitchell

(I couldn't find any gifs of one of his characters kissing, sorry)

Ewan is a private person, but if you were dating for a while he definitely wouldn't mind showing the world you were his. While not going overboard when in public, if you'd find a quiet little place, he would slip his arm around your waist and kiss you.

I think everyone can agree that Ewan is a pretty good flirt and quite a tease. When you're alone together he wouldn't mind teasing you and just keep peppering you with kisses all over your face before surprising you with a deep kiss on the lips.

Matt Smith

Matt is the kind of man who knows how to use the combination of sweet and passionate. When you two are alone, he will sometimes just cup your face in his hands and kiss you to show how much he loves you.

Even in public, he will just kiss you if he feels like it.

And when you pull away, he would just look at you, smiling, as if he can't believe how lucky he got to have you.

Joseph Morgan

Joseph is not someone who kisses often, but when he does, you just know he means it. It's soft and slow and you can actually just feel the love that goes into it.

He will hold you close, cup your cheek and brush his thumb along your bottom lip before pressing a featherlight kiss over your lips that will have you feel woozy for days. He'll then gently pull you in closer, his hands resting gently on your hips, and continue exchanging soft kisses. Every one of which as if it were the first.

Daniel Gillies

Daniel is a tease. Let's not pretend like this man is not an absolute menace.

He'll steal a few kisses and sometimes pretend to go in for a kiss, only to kiss your cheek instead. Then, when he's had enough of his teasing, he'll pull you in and gently grab your jaw, holding your head in place as he gives you a proper kiss.

Kisses are either very teasing or fast and hungry.

Paul Wesley

Paul is a gentleman when it comes to kissing. Probably one of the only things in which he is...

He will cradle the back of your neck, using it to pull you in for a kiss. They are usually chaste and sweet and he'll sometimes playfully nip at your bottom lip, taking pride in seeing you blush when he does so, knowing you were really his.

Ian Somerhalder

Ian's kisses are slow and passionate and usually a little sloppy.

He'll hold you close with his hands on your waist or in your hair and just kiss you like he doesn't have a care in the world. He likes to take his time too, making sure you feel how much he desires you.

Chris Wood

Chris is passionate about the people he cares about, especially those he actually loves. If he could, he'd spend all day cuddling with and kissing you.

He would hold onto you, coaxing you into kissing him by teasingly nipping at your jawline and once you'd finally do, he would instantly deepen the kiss and show you just how much he loves you. He'd whisper affectionate words against your lips, his lips never leaving yours.

Jensen Ackles

Jensen is who enjoys kisses, even the small ones. A quick kiss before going to work or doing some shopping or when one of you comes home.

It is on date night when he really goes all out, making sure that everything was perfect. He would look at you and ask if he could kiss you, and of course you happily oblige. He'd let you be the one to make the first actual move and smile as he feels your lips on his. Then he'd probably make a cheeky comment or joke after pulling away that either makes you laugh or earns a 'suffering parent face'.

Jared Padalecki

Jared is cheeky and playful, which shines through in his kisses.

He'll take any opportunity to kiss you, starting small and soft, but almost always ending up in a deep and passionate kiss.

He will hold you and sometimes just pick you up, peppering your lips with cheeky kisses.

Matthew Daddario

Matt is goofy, but besides his work, the one thing he is really serious in is you.

His kisses never mean nothing. He is not always good with words, especially when you are concerned, and so he'll use his mouth instead.

If he's sad or upset the kiss itself will be quick, but he'll linger so you can feel his breath on your lips. If he's happy the kiss will be more playful and he'll nibble on your lip and if he's excited he'll let his tongue trace over your lips.

Needless to say, his kisses are enough to let you know just how much he adores you.

Dominic Sherwood

Dom is a little shy/hesitant at first, but when he feels your lips, nothing can stop him from showing how much he loves you.

He doesn't really care about PDA and whether you're alone together or on the street, he'll give you a kiss.

He likes to hold you close when you kiss, making sure that you feel just how much you want him in every second you have together.

Dylan O'Brien

Dylan would kiss you as if he had been starving and you were the last piece of chocolate on Earth.

His kisses seem as if they last an eternity but only a second at the same time and he'll take the opportunity to kiss you at every chance he had.

In public he'll stick to chaste kisses, with friends and families short but sweet kisses, but it is when you two are alone together that he will grab your face and slowly pull you in closer. His eyes seem to be devouring you before he presses his lips to yours and kisses you like there's no tomorrow.

Tom Holland

Tom kisses you as if every kiss might be the last.

Slow and full of love with his arms wrapped securely around your waist. When his lips are on yours, there is no power on Earth that can convince him to let you go.

Josh Hutcherson

Josh's kisses are pretty comparible to Everlark.

Slow and a little hesitant sometimes, but filled with the most pure form of love. Every kiss with Josh would serve as a reminder for the love you hold for each other.

Tom Blyth

Tom's kisses are really sweet and slow.

He's pretty affectionate when it comes to the physical level, taking his time in conveying his love for you through the simple act of a kiss.

He'll likely hold your face in one way or another when he kisses you, making sure that he can feel you're actually there and he isn't just dreaming.
