Scary movies or happy endings?

tbh, im not the hugest fan of either? like dgmw i like a happy ending story as much as anyone, and yeah okay i prefer it to scary, but -- 🤌 peak story is a 'not-quite-happy, not-quite-sad' story... a 'it is what it is' narrative, or better yet one that leaves you with more questions than you started with

when it suddenly becomes the tiniest bit sunny/warm/dry in the uk, and whenever you're outside you catch a whiff of burgers and someone always goes "some mad lad's having a barbecue". idk but for me the heralding of spring/summer is always marked by this cultural phenomenon and it makes me happy

cupboard/drawer/general Things organisation makes me happy. it makes my brain feel quiet

this is going to sound like a humble brag (and tbh it kinda is) but whenever people leave comments or tags on my edits. i love knowing that it's made someone smile, or laugh, or Feel Things generally, and idk i just always get this really wonderful, humbling, contented sense of having a space in this community. if you're reading this, and you've left one of such kind and lovely comments, please know that i do see them and you make me feel happy, thank you💕

this guy makes me happy:

WIP Game - I'm terrible at just picking ONE, so could I have 'To eat that burning heart out of his hand' and 'I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you' please and thank you! :D

To eat that burning heart out of his hand - this is a current WIP that came from the @marvelrarepairbingo2022's Halloween adoptable prompt 5. Weird neighbor has a secret

It is Stephen Strange/Kaecilius. Anyone who knows me, who knows the twisted Easter Eggy way my brain works will understand that this fic will be full of so many ridiculous fandom-y Easter Eggs. But I don't want to say too much about it because it would give away too much of the secret and the fun. Here's a snippet, though, when Stephen first sees his new neighbor (Kaecilius) before they officially meet:

Life at The Langham went on.  Some neighbors moved out while others remained the same, and in the place of those who left were new faces and names to learn in passing at the mailboxes. 

The apartment next door to Stephen remained empty for almost a year before someone new moved in.  For the longest time, the surgeon believed he would be the youngest tenant on the floor until he was as old as the old people were, and they were long gone.  Then one day, he noticed that incredibly posh leather couches and chairs were being moved in from the service elevator along with dozens of boxes labeled ‘books’.  That had been all he caught when he’d returned from his morning run, and later on his way out to work, Stephen spied the new neighbor standing just outside his door, signing off on the delivery, and while there was no doubt that he’d already paid in full for it – as one did for moving – the impeccably dressed gent handed an envelope over to the mover in charge with what was very likely a handsome tip. 

The newcomer was handsome with lips that pouted naturally and eyes like dravite under the sun.  While Stephen locked up, he caught the hint of a foreign accent, but he couldn’t place it; it sounded melodic, though, and he figured he’d forget it as soon as he left the building for the hospital.  It was on the tip of his tongue to walk over long enough for an introduction, which would include a warning to watch out for their neighborly yenta, but when their eyes met, they merely exchanged polite nods before the new neighbor stepped into his apartment, and Stephen booked it for the elevator. 

If nothing else, with or without warning, at least, Stephen wouldn’t be the only target for attempts at matchmaking. 

Perhaps they could eventually form a battle line to protect each other from Mrs. Weinberg’s well-meaning assaults. 

I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you - This was from a prompt given to me by @chaotic-hypnotic-erotic a while back, 44. “This is a totally inappropriate soundtrack.” The pair I was requested was Emma Frost and Phil Coulson. I'm choosing not to write this as a ship but an association built on mutual trust and respect. The title is from "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles.

It's set during WandaVision. Coulson's obviously alive, and he seeks Emma's help where Darcy Lewis, Jimmy Woo, and even Monica Rambeau are having trouble getting through to Wanda. (I thought it would be good to let Emma in to slap around Wanda's mind a bit - that's a bit of a comic grudge, given in the comics, Wanda was responsible for nearly wiping out all mutants at one time.) Oh yeah, and there are Easter Eggy things in this, too, especially if you're familiar with Mad Men.

Snippet:

Asphalt cut into the knees of her pantyhose, just barely scraping her skin through the tears.

Emma hated pantyhose.

Emma didn't own pantyhose.

"I'd ask why you didn't warn me about that first step, Agent Coulson, but something tells me that your LMD mind will already have some sort of logical quip at the ready," Emma said as she turned and sat down where she'd landed. She shaded her eyes as she surveyed her surroundings.

Westview was a dreadful little town, but considering that it didn't truly exist – not really, not even as an unincorporated hamlet, what Emma could really conclude is that Wanda Maximoff's mind was a dreadfully dull place if this was all she could conjure for herself in whatever mental state she was in.

"Well, now I feel hurt, Ms. Frost. I even prepared the very best of quips for a queen, and you don't even want to hear them," Agent Phillip J. Coulson, former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., now an LMD and still having A.I. about it, that is Angst Immeasurable, retorted as he walked over and offered his hand to the telepath.

Emma set her hand into Agent Coulson's and allowed him to lifted her to her feet, finding that this new adaptation of him was considerably stronger than the original, though she had always been fond of the Coulson Prime. Once steady on her feet, Emma brushed her soft hands over the back of her clothes and then paused when the style of herself caught her by surprise.

"Thank you, Agent Coulson, for the help, but perhaps you can tell me why I'm dressed like…I belong on that show that attempted to both romanticize and satirize the Sixites?"

They both stared at Emma's sleeveless white dress with pleated skirt, black dots on the right side of the chest, a gold ring belt around her waist, and a black and white kerchief knotted around her neck. Halfway up her forearms were white see-through gloves, and she wore white heels. Emma opened up the black handbag she carried and found the compact she suspected to be there, taking note of her golden hair shorter than she'd worn it for some time, parted at one side and flounced back in gentle curls.

I think I liked you better when you didn’t have a knife in your hand, Peaches... Chapter 119 - Picture books & Ass Grabbing

When Blake finds herself sold out to the Saviours by her abusive fiancé, she realises that she's certainly not on her own anymore and finds an unlikely friend in Negan. And Negan does NOT like men who beat their girlfriends, one tiny bit…. Look out for friendship and maybe something more…

MASTERLIST

Chapter 119 - Picture books & Ass Grabbing

[Negan realises that Mia and Blake are indeed a popular duo at the Sanctaury...but the dark-haired Saviour eventually manages to find some alone time with the pair.]

Everyone had been excited to see Mia back at the Sanctuary.

Everywhere Negan seemed to fucking turn that day, there they were, the dining hall, down at the marketplace, the goddamn hallways, workers and lieutenants alike, cooing at the kid and talking to Blake like she was their everything.

It was fucking obvious to him now that Peaches was revered in this place. Not in the way he was. When his men and women spoke to him, it was with fear and respect in their voices.

But to Peaches….they showed utter love and devotion. Even workers he had never even seen before, came crawling out of the woodwork the moment they caught sight of her, coming to say hello.

Negan had kept his distance at first, observing the way these people laughed and joked with her, touching her arm warmly as she chatted back to them completely lighting up every room she was in.

And the kid didn't do too badly either, acting as shy as she had been when she had first arrived at this fucking place to begin with, before realising that these people, unlike those dead pricks outside, were not here to do her any harm.

Negan had even caught the baby girl standing up on the benches in the dining hall at lunchtime, pointing at food she liked on peoples trays so fucking charmingly in-fact, that the poor-fuckin' sons of bitches were pushovers enough that they would quickly laugh and offer Mia whatever she wanted.

Negan admired that in her immensely, as he had left the room wordlessly, chuckling to himself as he had ran a hand over his bearded chin, swinging Lucille up onto his leather-clad shoulder as he went.

But as great as Blake and the kid being popular was, Negan had found himself getting kinda ansty and bored by mid-afternoon at the lack of attention he himself was getting from his favourite girl.

Usually he would have found Blake at least once today, placed her in a compromising position or two, the two of them barely able to keep their hands off of each other for long, and screwed her brains out already.

But with the kid now a permanent feature here in their lives, this enjoyable task was proving a little harder than Negan first had realised.

Even speaking to Blake today had proved to be tough enough, just about getting the chance to exchange a few teasing words with the blonde woman, before Mia had complained that she needed to go to the bathroom for the hundredth time.

And, waving his hands of all responsibility in that area, Negan had sloped off in a huff, as Blake and Mia had skipped away to do what ladies normally fuckin' did in bathrooms.

HIS  fuckin' bathroom again, no doubt!

And so it was late afternoon by the time the unusually cheerful and buzzing atmosphere of the Sanctuary had died down to a mere simmer, and Negan, pacing the long quiet hallways in search of the two women, had finally heard their voices, floating low and quiet down the echoing corridors of the drafty factory building.

Negan gave a wide grin to himself as he approached the door ahead of him now, swinging Lucille from his hand a little and bowing his head as he listened.

"And do you know what animal that is?" came the voice of Blake gently, in a tone contrasting the teasing one she usually reserved for speaking to him with.

There was small pause before the voice of Mia was heard.

"Tha..tha…I know tha is…" she said excitedly, sounding like she was wriggling about a little. "Tha donk! Tha donk!"

Negan heard Blake let out a small laugh.

"Yeah that's right, that's a donke-"

But Blake wasn't able to get through her entire sentence before Mia cut across her loudly.

"What tha won? I laik tha won!" she said as Negan took a couple of silent steps forward and peered around the doorway, his chocolate eyes finally settling on the pair of them.

The two ladies were sat in the library, both huddled together on the dusty floor with a large book propped open on Blake's lap, as Mia leaned over her, pointing with chubby little digits at whatever was in the large white book.

"That's a penguin," said Blake quietly, neither of the pair noticing Negan's presence in the doorway yet, as Mia fawned over the image in the book splayed out in front of her. "They like to live where it's very, very cold."

Mia gave a delighted squeal at this, peering at the page with great interest.

"Ca' we go see pengwen?" she asked placing her pudgy little hand to Blake's shoulder before clambering onto her lap.

But it was at this, that he saw Blake's eyes wash with a sort of sadness, that broke his heart to see.

Negan of course knew that it would be likely that Mia would never get to see a penguin in her lifetime.

Not only was travel near to impossible these days but the zoos were all but ruined, and the likelihood that there were even any penguins left on this continent was near unmanageable.

"Perhaps…someday…" Blake murmured in a quiet voice, as Mia gave a sudden yawn, rubbing at her tired eyes with her little fists.

It had obviously been a long day for her….for both of them in fact, judging by the way Blake's eyes blinked slowly as she let out a small puff of air.

But it was then that Negan, leaning in, causeda floorboard to creak beneath his boots, drawing both of the women's eyes to look his way, finally noticing his presence.

Blake offered him a warm, coy smile, that made him feel like he truly belonged here, warm and happy with her right beside him.

"Hey stranger," she purred out gently, wrinkling her nose as Mia scrambled to her bandy little legs, running towards him suddenly on small sock-covered feet.

"It Eggy!" she said in a slurred little voice, making grabby hands at him with her sticky hands. "Eggy, we gon' shee pengwen!"

Negan readjusting his grip on Lucille and rolling his eyes a little, obliged the toddler almost immediately, bending down and lifting her up into his arms with a stiff groan.

"That so?" the dark-haired man commented. "You plannin' on takin' a trip on those goddamn tiny legs of yours, beansprout? You bustin' outta this place? Huh?"

And with that, Negan made a grab for her tiny sock-covered foot, making the teeny girl squeal with delight.

"Noh Eggy, don' do tha!" she giggled, pawing at his leather-clad chest, her chubby fingers grasping hold of his zipper.

But Negan didn't relent, chuckling as he pressed his face close to hers, grazing his stubbly chin across her pudgy cheek.

"Noh Eggy tha tickuls!" she cried out, wriggling from his grasp and prising herself from him once more. until Negan was forced to set her down, watching as the laughing baby girl ran back toward Blake, who had gotten to her feet, large picture book tucked under her arm.

But the caramel-blonde woman looked a little strained now, giving a frown as she placed a hand to her head, wincing slightly and closing her eyes for the briefest of moments.

"You alright, Peaches?" Negan asked her almost instantly, standing up straight and staring over at the woman he loved, a dark and concerned look passing over his long features.

But she blinked a couple of times, offering him a flash of a smile.

"Yeah…I'm fine…just feeling a bit light headed is all…" she muttered.

Negan's gaze lingered on her for a long moment, hearing the lie in her voice, but he played it cool, clenching his jaw tightly, but carrying on as though nothing had happened.

"Well perhaps you're runnin' on empty, Darlin'," he growled, as Mia clutched Blake's hand with her tiny paw, before peering up at the dark-haired man. "It's a good fuckin' job I've arranged for some dinner to be brought up to my room then isn't it?"

At his words, Blake's stared up into his face, smiling at him warmly.

Fuck, it was good to be back with her here again….knowing that yesterday he could have lost her for good.

He was enamoured by her, this hurricane, who had appeared in his life, changing it for the better.

He was different man around her. Softer, more sympathetic….to them at least!

And Negan couldn't help but grin goofily as she and Mia slid past him hand in hand, heading out the door.

"Hmmm, it's about time we got room service, isn't it Mia?" the blonde woman uttered in a sarcastic tone, her eyes sparkling gleefully as she teased him. "You gonna serve it up on a silver platter too?"

But Negan gave a chuckle as he ran his tongue over his lips, eyeing her with awe.

And before Blake could let out another smart-mouthed comment, Negan's hand had clamped around Blake's jean-clad ass, giving it a hard and needy squeeze.

The blonde woman instantly stopped in her tracks abruptly, giving a sudden squeak and causing Mia to stare up at the pair in fright, as Negan leaned his lips in towards Blake's ear.

"Now baby, you have gotta stop with that damn attitude of yours…." he growled in a wolf-like manner, giving another low and throaty chuckle. "Because you're gonna make Daddy wanna eat something' else completely, Peaches…"

But he almost immediately caught Blake narrow her green eyes toward him, as she slowly looked his way.

She had obviously not been expecting this possessive act from him. But the dark-haired Saviour should have known better than to presume Blake would just let something like that, slide that easily.

"Well maybe, if Daddy delivers like he promised on dinner…" she purred in a delicious voice, taking this opportunity to press her cheek to his stubbly one, her lips finding his ear now, causing Negan's mouth to curve up into a wide grin. "Then maybe he can get what he wants for dessert."

But what Negan didn't notice was Blake's hand snake around his waist.

And it wasn't until Negan feet the short sharp slap of the large, hard-bound picture book colliding with his ass, did he raise both his dark eyebrows to the heavens in utter surprise, gazing at Blake as she smirked, pulling away from him.

"But I guess we'll have to see…." she murmured airily, strutting away and heading out into the hallway ahead of Negan, as Mia still clutching onto her hand tightly, peering up at Blake with great interest, wondering what she was missing.

And Negan was, for the first time in a long, long time, rendered utterly speechless….

….shaking his head in wonderment, and letting his chin drop to his collarbone as he let out a small laugh….

…before swinging Lucille back up onto his shoulder once more, and following his two favourite girls out of the door, and back up towards his room.

More in love with the blonde woman now, than he had ever been before.

[bacchanta]

[Spoiler Alert!!!!!!] Random speculations about Merlin/Harry in Kingsman

Rumours have been circulating around that the character Merlin from KTSS would be portrayed as non-heterosexual in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s much acclaimed adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic series.

Spoiler alert, this has not proved true in said sequel. However, as someone who never boards the ship that is Merlin/Galahad, oddly enough, I somehow walked out of the cinema more convinced than ever that Merlin/Galahad now stands a greater chance of turning canon (should FOX opt for, say, a third sequel to the series). This post is not concerned as much about commenting on the film as about sharing my speculations. If someone else agrees with some of the points discussed, great to know; if not, it’d still be helpful to be acquainted with different perspectives.

1.     Merlin does stand a chance of surviving that landmine.

We have seen at least one picture taken behind the scene of the amazing actor Mark Strong with green-screen legs, in full Scottish formal attire, the only one likely occasion for this being Eggsy’s wedding. Creating tragic premise and motivation for revenge by convincing the protagonists, falsely, that someone they care about is killed off by the antagonists has been applied millions of times in recent-year Hollywood blockbusters, Marvel Studios’ The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World AND Kingsman: The Secret Service to list but a few.

2.     Harry Hart’s sexual orientation, like Merlin’s, is one among the many loose ends yet to be tied up.

What’s worth paying attention to is that nearly ALL of the few lines about Harry’s sexuality in the two films are playing with the idea that he gives a stereotypically queer impression to strangers. In KTSS, we have one of the thugs assuming that Harry is looking for a rent boy; Harry tells the lady in South Glade Mission Church that he is having an affair out of wedlock with his boyfriend, mostly making it up to annoy her, yes, but that does not necessarily mean that EVERYTHING in that punchline is made-up. This time, in KTGC, we have one scene echoing the Black Prince Pub fight in the first, with one of the local thugs hurling even more outrageous insults at Harry, all about him looking gay. And oh if you don’t mind me over-interpreting that brief exchange he has with Elton—I’ve asked a friend about whether that’s to be interpreted as a full-on parallel (with very subtle innuendo) to Eggsy’s encounter with Tilde in the first film, and both of us think that it’s a possibility. None of them are statements to be taken seriously by the audience, sure, but at least should Harry turn out to be non-heterosexual, I think most of the reasonable audience will not be surprised because of all the half-serious punchlines building up to that. Moreover, in both of the pub fight scenes, supposedly iconic of the KSM films now, Harry snaps and delivers that 3M line precisely when they take the insults on his sexuality way too far. I doubt if they make any hints on Harry’s sexuality on purpose, and it would be equally perfectly logical that Harry would stay without romantic interactions with any character throughout the whole series, but, once again, should Harry Hart ends up together with Merlin, the audience may not be so surprised.

3.     There is clearly a parallel between Harry and Eggsy as characters.

We see it from the water-test. We see it from the fact that their relationship in KTGC is kind of a reverse of what they are like in the first film, one protecting and taking care of the other. In KTSS, Eggsy, as someone new to the Kingsman, learns from Harry Hart and makes that learning a pivotal reason for his own character development: Harry gets him out of the mess, introduces him to the prospective of becoming a spy, rebukes him when he gives up, and remains the one character Eggys strives not to disappoint. In KTGC, however, we see that the roles of the one who guides and the one guided reversed: when they meet, amnesiac Harry with only his younger memory is the one knowing nothing about Kingsman, while Eggsy, current Agent Galahad, tries to bring him back; Harry’s reaction to the water test, the way they film it and the way this scene is presented somehow repeatedly hints on subtler parallels between Eggsy and Harry’s younger self (he reaches for the ceiling, looks at the door, probably thinks about the one-way mirror as the camera suggests, all just as Eggsy does it in the first film, all except that he does not break the mirror). It may or may not be a coincidence that the stake is so high when they bring in the puppy test in both films, the first with Eggsy unwilling to shoot JB and Harry subsequently getting mad at him, the second with Eggsy threatening and Harry panicking before the conflict resolves when Harry regains his memory. The point is that, if we are to go on with the parallels, does that mean Harry will probably learn something new from Eggsy as well? Can it be something about having personal connections? Perhaps Harry learns from Eggsy that there is nothing wrong with having significant connections with others and end up with someone? That remains a plausible way to round up the character parallels.

4.     Should Harry have a major change of mind, there is a reason provided.

We see the interactions between Merlin and Harry when the former steps on the mine. We see emotional eye contacts and infrequent attempts to mention their old days as colleagues. If Harry is going to opt for some significant personal connection and giving up the isolationist lifestyle he’s been having for decades, Merlin’s return may just make it click in. If Merlin’s ‘my favourite singer’ and Harry’s reply are to be altered, should the two characters end up together, that doesn’t sound too implausible.

But again, while there are positive speculations, there are things pointing to a negative answer.

Merlin may survive the mine and make a surprise return, should they have another sequel, yes, but would that still be that much of a surprise? Filming something and putting it into the next film, killing off a beloved character and then bring said character back have been done once (aka the table etiquette scene filmed during KTSS, and the return of Harry Hart), and it is questionable whether they’d be so bold to do it twice. They do give the impression of not complying with clichés and normal expectations, but the return of Merlin can make this a plot pattern iconic to the KSM series.

My guess would be that at least one of Merlin and Roxy may stand a chance of returning should they be up for a third sequel, and either is likely to be gladly welcomed. Both? BETTER. So basically it’s a kind of mixed feelings here: if either Merlin or Roxy is going to return, it’d be hard to decide which one the audience wants more; both are killed off in ways too similar to be faked twice; I hate sounding like a PC police, but M. V.’s portrayals of female characters in KTGC are not the most plausible, if Roxy’s to return and redeem the film in this aspect, it’d be fantastic. But in sum it’s perhaps impossible for fans to decide which of the two is loved more, should it comes to decide between them.

There is no conclusion to this piece of random babbling. I forgot what I’m talking about three paragraphs in.

well AJ is just simply magnificent!!!💕 and thank you! it's honestly not much of a rough time, per se, just bureaucratic work drama that has made me reach my absolute limit 🙂 but feeling much better today! i went to the seaside today and annihilated my bf on air hockey, which definitely brought me joy 🥰

have an eggy for your troubles💖

This is Finnsie, who genuinely does not mind when I give her all-over bedhead.

And this is Lancelot, who is concerned about you.

oh my GOODNESS. well first of all finnsie is delightful, and please tell lancelot that im feeling much better about a shitty day - and that they are both GORGEOUS💕

a treat like a double-bill feature deserves something special!!! have a before and after of mr egg mcmuffin, the first being the day we brought him home. we originally thought it was a freckle on his nose, but turns out it was just food. it took us a mere three days to realise this.

prev pls know a) id die for pierogi and her lil belly b) we appear to share the same wavelength in having shelf-loving cats named after food. and for that pls accept the image that inspired the post in the first place 💕
