His bad knee creaks and cries out in protest as he puts his weight on it, threatening to give out, and Levi pulls a deep breath in through his nose to steady himself, waiting until the sharp throbbing dies down into something more manageable before he reaches with his left hand for the cane propped against the wall between the table and bed frame.

True North

Chapter XI

Excerpt:

Frank’s eyes fluttered closed as Bucky kissed her fully, she could taste the beer on his tongue and she was sure he could taste hers as well, neither of them even caring that they shared such a passionate kiss in such a public place. It wasn’t exactly out of the ordinary to see couples close, especially in clubs or lounges, but based on the size of the town, Frank was sure there had to be someone in the pub who was uncomfortable, so she pulled away slightly, hand resting flat on Bucky’s chest as he chased her lips, trying to reconnect them. 

“Come upstairs with me,” Frank whispered softly against his mouth, Bucky groaning as she kissed his mustache, “we can talk a little more privately up there,” 

“Talk, huh?” His voice was low and husky, eyes hooded as she slipped out from under his arm, pushing herself into a standing position, “About your new missions?” 

“If you like,” Frank leaned over the table to kiss him quickly, voice dropping further, “or we can…not…talk.” 

“I like the sound of that,” Bucky pushed himself up, hand ruffling his curls as he followed her around the table and towards the staircase, glancing around to see if anyone was watching them closely, but thankfully he found no one.

To fan art and fiction enjoyers:

Please excuse my rage slipping if it happened over having to address this literal mediocrity of a subject in comparison to endless things that actually matters in real life. Because this would be at the scrapping bottom of it, but since the occasion presented itself, here we are:

Do you know there are some, let's say, manners, being in fandoms, and/or in using social media in general? NOOO? 8U

Well, Lets start somewhere!

Like it or not, YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY READ STUFF PEOPLE WRITE. Before you follow, before you comment, before you interact, because if you come across something you don't like, or you started to assume things— that's a you problem and not the fault of the poster.

If you DO NOT enjoy a character, a pair of ship, or a certain head cannon, filter the tag it's used for, Google has free tutorials on how. Most social media have these settings and most decent posters tag their posts correctly. If you keep seeing that pair, you can block the people who create it. You are free to do so ofc but WHY WOULD U come on main and air that out? Personally I find it so bizarre and it could show the type of person you are to other people — a toxic company over fictional substance — and I'd say that is not a flex, more like showing your dirty nappy in public. Those characters you love are not real and so not effected by your high ground stance, but actual humans that share you that love notice and get that impression, and it's a weird one. You SHOULD, of course, set your boundaries, and usually where that is be in your profile, on your bio or a pinned post.

Loving bizarre, villainous, creepy concepts DOES NOT EQUAL morality, nor loving good sunshine and flowers does. It's what a person does in real life what counts, not what they consume in entertainment. In fact, it is not a sign of a good person those who be shaming humans who like different fictional concepts. Or when someone keeps using ai generators knowing full well it's based on constant data theft of all sort of human creators across generations and can not exist without the continuance of this theft. Or those supporting creators that they know did irl crimes. Or those who are Policing what's can and cannot go into fiction as if the fickleness of preference have never let alot of things survive its judgement. And I can go on with the miniature examples. You are forgiven if you did not know before, some people learn through experience, but not anymore when you continue this behaviour. And maybe if you can't differentiate between reality and fiction, and what's more important than what, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be consuming fiction.

DO NOT POST WHAT YOU DID NOT CREATE. Do you like it when people keep posting your selfies that you only ment to share for funsies and what not? Isn't worse if you did not post that selfie in the first place or never wanted it to be used like that? It's the SAME FOR ART. This is the artists work just as much as your face is yours. Social media at the baseline is about who ever the poster is, their posts are theirs. So you posting an artist's drawing, with no permission, no credit to them, no nothing, is not allowed and people can report that. Don't be an ignorant thick fig and play the victim when schooled like this precious dear\s .Reposters disconnect so many content from their creators and this is how alot of beautiful things in life die, by simply not knowing they are loved, shoved into the over consumption machine..

And lastly, You don't have anything nice to say to OP? Don't say anything! It's not your misguided duty to educate people on how embarrassingly self centered you are, it's okay to be a basic #&★— I promise. It okay to feel out of place in a niche that doesn't concern you. It's okay to realise other people have different perspectives of the fiction work you enjoy. You can sit down.

And I'd like to add, Mani is a safe space for au and ships even if I don't like em, cuz they are only FICTION and will remain FICTION no matter how much I loved them or hated them.

Good day, dears🍀

[that-girl-glader]

I feel so bad for those who have never read/watched TMR, Hunger Games, The Giver, Divergent, Farenheit 451, or TLOU because HOW ARE THEY GOING TO SURVIVE BRO. I just watched a tiktok video thay just "proved" a point I've been saying. Those books, that genre is GOING to become Historical Fictio. I SWEARRR. BECAUSE HOW IN THE ELON MUSK do you expect us to not end up there, how in the billionairs drowning in a submarine do you expect us not to get there. Let's be so fr right now. Atleast dystopian fans are PREPARED.

[just-antithings]

Elemental (2023) Ganzer Film Deutsch: Kinostart, Besetzung & Kritik

Elemental ist ein angekündigter US-amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Film des Regisseurs .

Genre: Animation, Komödie, Familie, Fantasy, Liebesfilm

Laufzeit: 102 Protokoll

Veröffentlicht: 2023-06-14

Sterne: Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi

Verleih: Walt Disney Pictures

Direktor: Thomas Newman, Thomas Newman

„Elemental“ – Handlung

Was die konkrete Handlung von „Elemental“ betrifft, halten sich die Verantwortlichen sehr zurück. Bisher ist lediglich bekannt, dass sich die Fortsetzung um die junge Familie des Söldners Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) und der außerirdischen Kriegerin Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) drehen wird. Zudem soll eine alte Bedrohung zurückkehren, sodass die kleine Familie gezwungen ist, ihr Zuhause zu verlassen. Auf ihrer Flucht finden sie Zuflucht in der exotischen Meereswelt von Pandora.

„Elemental“ – Hintergründe und Kinostart

Als Unterstützung bringt der Starregisseur ein ganzes Kreativ-Team mit. So wird etwa Thomas Newman, Drehbuchautor von Thomas Newman „Elemental“, am zweiten Teil von „Elemental“ mitwirken. Um den hohen Erwartungen des Publi**** gerecht zu werden, will Cameron außerdem auch mit den Nachfolgern neue technische Maßstäbe setzen. Anlässlich seiner Ernennung zum Ehrenmitglied der Society Of Motion Picture And Television Engineers versprach der Filmemacher, gemeinsam mit dem „Weta Digital“-Studio ein neues Zeitalter des 3D-Films einzuläuten.

Entsprechend langwierig sind natürlich die Dreharbeiten und Postproduktion des Films. Die Produktion musste auch aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie unterbrochen werden. Nach einer zweiwöchigen Quarantäne konnten die Arbeiten im Juni 2020 wiederaufgenommen und Ende September abgeschlossen werden. Zudem habe man auch beim dritten Film maßgebliche Produktionsfortschritte erreichen können. Zwischendurch hielt Produzent Jon Landau seine Fans auch via Instagram die Fans mit frischen Material vom Set bei Laune.

„Elemental“ hat bereits einen holprigen Weg hinter sich und musste mehrfach verschoben werden. Dem deutschen Kinostart am 14 June 2023 sollte nichts im Wege stehen. Das Publikum wird im Kinosessel dann die Qual der Wahl haben: Ganz gleich ob 3D, 4K, High Frame Rate (HFR) mit 25 Bilder pro Sekunde oder IMAX-Auflösung und verschiedenen Sound-Einstellungen. „Avatar 2“ soll in so vielen verschiedenen Versionen im Kino erscheinen, wie kein Film zuvor.

She's Made of Outer Space

Inukag Fluff Week: Stargazing

Ao3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33117460

***

Paying attention to the stars was never something Inuyasha did to pass the time. He knew they were always there, decorating the dark sky with their tiny gleams of light. They didn’t illuminate the night, unlike the bright moon, but the stars are reliable and will always be easy to find. The stars are never on his radar, since he prefers to close his eyes and listen to his surroundings for any lurking dangers. Of course, he is never worried, he knows he can take down anything that crosses his path.

Those stars in the sky were never important enough for him to stare at all night long. Inuyasha was never one to pay attention to the little things, because he was always too busy handling the bigger issues in his way. It was not until a girl mysteriously came from the future that he had the opportunity to do so. The same girl who had sneakily crawled into his chest and made a home in his empty heart. Instead of stealing it, she kept his heart tucked securely in her chest, with her arms wrapped around it and keeping it beating.

It was then that he began to realize his heart started to beat for her, to keep her alive, to keep her smile going, and to protect her from any harm. Her happiness was the most important thing to him, and he would do anything to keep her from feeling anything else. He was aware of how often he had messed up in the past, and that is why he tries so hard to keep her happy in the present.

Kagome, his girl, his perfect, beautiful, and courageous girl, was everything to him and more. She loved watching the stars whenever she was given the chance. If she could have it her way, she would sit outside and stare at them every night. Ever since she noticed how bright they were here compared to the ones on the other side of the well, he realized just how much more she paid attention to the sky. During their mission to defeat Naraku he would peak at her looking up at the stars from within her sleeping bag. She would do this every single night unless she was past the point of exhaustion, and the expression on her face never changed.

Inuyasha would pay close attention to the way her cheeks would heat up and bloom pink. Her plush lips would part as she looked in awe, and quirk up into a smile. Her eyes would stay glued to the sky, flickering in different directions each time she settled onto a new one. It was hard for him to keep quiet when he would hear her whispering with Shippo about the constellations. The fox kit was always so enamored with her stories and she was always so patient with him. Most nights Shippo would be fast asleep besides Kagome in her sleeping bag, but when he stayed up late to talk to her, it was obvious that he cherished their time together.

A smile would appear on Inuyasha's face out of pure admiration while watching her. Kagome was so confident that no one would be listening, but Shippo always knew the half demon was awake. When Kagome got deep into conversation with the kit about the stars, Shippo would quickly glance at him and catch his eye, but Inuyasha would choose not to push it any further. He preferred to pretend to have lightly dozed off, giving her the impression that he was not completely aware of her and what she was doing. It was his favorite game to play, and she never suspected a thing.

The reason he kept quiet was not just because he could never get enough of her voice when she spoke to Shippo, but because he could not get enough of her eyes. To Inuyasha, Kagome’s eyes shined brighter than the stars. Deep within her eyes were endless galaxies and he could see all of them every time he looked at her. Her eyes told him everything she was thinking, he could read her emotions just by gazing into them, and they were always so raw and honest. If he could take away every worry from her mind he would have done it a long time ago, because he should be the one to remove whatever bothers her, and she should be the one whose smile never falters, and whose laugh could make the flowers bloom.

Inuyasha never paid attention to the little things in life because he was always dealing with bigger issues. He never cared until Kagome appeared and showed him how important the little things were in a world so dangerous as his.

On nights like tonight, where there was no cloud in the sky, no danger to be worried about, and no tasks to do in the coming morning, he would lay his head on Kagome’s lap and stare at her while she looked upwards.

Her eyes never changed, always promising hope and wonder. Always so big, round, and outrageously so beautiful that his breath would hitch when he gazed too deeply into them.

Inuyasha did not have to look at the night sky to watch the stars. Kagome’s eyes held the universe and the sky above was only a mere reflection to her own.

Kagome blinked once, her long lashes kissing her pink- tinted cheeks. She glanced down at her half demon husband who was resting on her lap and smiled. “What are you looking at?”, she innocently asked.

Inuyasha never took his eyes off of her, and the way he stared with lovestruck eyes made her heart beat faster. He took in a breath, but it was not enough to fill his lungs due to how captivated he was while looking up at her. “I’m watching the stars.” He said breathlessly.

She could not hide the way her eyes grew wider or how her cheeks turned red, but Inuyasha savored the sight and locked it away into his memory. This girl sitting above him, his Kagome, was the most precious star within the universe. How lucky was he to have found her, the girl who taught him to enjoy the small things like stargazing, and to selfishly get to keep her all to himself.

When an assassin is charged with taking the life of the crown prince of one of the most notoriously heinous kingdoms, he finds out there is a good deal more to the story than he ever knew, and that the prince is a lot more than a typical mark.

What will either of them do when they find out that the dark underbelly of the kingdom runs far deeper and more heinous than either of them knew, and are forcibly thrown into each other's lives -- whether they like it or not?

Hey guys! Eeek...Chapter 1 is here!! Any comments, feedback etc is much appreciated! Please be kind haha...hope you enjoy. Side note...don’t own anyone or anything bla bla in the story. All totally made up and a figment of my imagination...here we go..

                                              𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝟣 

You opened your eyes slowly, expecting to see light filter thru the half shut curtain's that covered your bedroom window. It was still dark with a small dusting of light coming over the hills. Looking up to your alarm clock, the time read 4.47 am. Rummaging around your bedside cabinet, you finally found the remote, flicking the telly on and immediately muting the sound. The last thing you wanted to hear was a high pitched squealing woman having an orgasm about an amazing vacuum cleaner that does this, that and the other, plus you didn’t want to wake James. Rolling over you came face to face with him and watched him sleep in the glow from the television. He always looked so peaceful and content when he slept and it had seemed that lately the only time you could tolerate him was when he was asleep. You watched his chest rise and fall slowly, listening to the soft moan that escaped his lips with each breath. 'Why do you have to be such a bitch?' you scolded yourself. You had an amazing boyfriend, who had done nothing but love, cherish and sacrifice for you for the last 4 years, yet you did not love him. It was James who was there for you when you’re mum died, arranged the funeral when you couldn’t, and took you away after it all. It was James who worked his arse off when you couldn’t work for 6 months after a nasty horse riding accident, supporting you, your business and your 20 horse's. And it was James that put up with all your bullshit. He never once lied, cheated or hurt you, when there were probably a lot of times he could of. Your thoughts turned to when you first met. You were both 19 when he had turned up at the racing stable's where you were working at the time to put an extension on one of the stable block's. You were having problems with a young colt that had been dropped of that morning. Taking the horse off the truck, he leapt and bound on the spot before standing on your foot and nearly running you over. He reared up and lashed out with his front legs, getting one over which had forced you to let the horse go, watching as he ran down the lane way, only stopping to reach over the fence to try and bite another horse. "Little shit" you mumbled to yourself as you walked thru the barn to shut the gate so he couldn’t get back out towards the road. Just as you were walking back outside you spotted James, leading the colt at his side like it was an old schoolmaster. He stopped just in front of you, patting the horse as he grazed happily at his feet. "Looking for this?" he laughed as he handed you the rope. After seeing James' vibrant smile and hearing his childlike laugh, you couldn’t be angry any more. "Thanks" you laughed, hand out to take the lead rope from him. Instead he placed his hand in yours, shaking it thoroughly. "I'm James" he beamed. "And you are...?" "Morgan" you replied shyly, actually taking in how good looking this guy was. "Well Morgan" James smiled, his hand still gripping yours. "Let's put this boy away, then you can get me a coffee before we start...Oh didn’t I tell you you’re helping me? Well your are now!" he laughed, dragging you along the path before you had any chance to resist....

Next thing you knew it was 2 years later and you were moving into your new place. An old, neglected, 300 acre horse property with everything you needed. Arena, stables, yards, a huge shed for James and hundreds of acres of fields and forest to ride over. As you moved the last box from the truck into the house, dumping it in the middle of what was to become your bedroom, you walked silently over to the window, taking in the amazing view of the sun setting behind the hills. You knew then that you didn’t love James, and in the back of your mind you knew you were making a mistake. 'But this was what you wanted all along wasn’t it?' you asked yourself. 'What more could you want?’ Feeling James' arm's slip around your waist, you shut your eyes, trying to fight back the tears. "Do you know how happy you've made me?" James whispered in your ear. "I love you". Squeezing your eyes tighter, all you could do was nod...

Day by day and month by month went by until it was your 2nd anniversary of moving onto the farm and yours and James' 4th anniversary. Waking up that morning to a surprise bunch of roses by your bed with a card from James, you knew there couldn’t be a 5th. Throwing your dressing gown on you walked over to the french doors that had once been a wall before you redecorated, and opened them. Walking out onto the small deck that over looked your back garden and looking out. From there you could also see part of the drive and some of the back paddocks with horses of all colours and size's grazing happily in the warm sun. Pulling your dressing gown around your neck you headed back inside, thinking to yourself that soon it would be winter and you would hardly use the little deck that you had had breakfast on nearly every day that summer. The old farm that had once been barely livable was now a beautiful, thriving Equestrian business that you had slogged over since the day you brought it. It was your baby. James had built two self contained, small houses about a hundred metres away from the main homestead that were rented out as a source of income over the winter months when the lesson and trekking horses were turned out. That didn’t mean you were never busy. Winter was probably your busiest time. You loved winter and all that it entailed. Plus you still had your regular customers that you gave lessons to, worked certain horses and winter was generally when you got a lot of horses to break in, which you absolutely loved. There was no better thrill or sense of accomplishment that you achieved from having a wild horse that you couldn’t touch, to riding it, willing and happily thru your forest.

"Hey Hun?" James called from downstairs. "What time do you want dinner?” Sitting up on the edge of the bed, you rubbed your eyes, trying to wake yourself up. "Hang on" you called out, lying back down on your bed. Downstairs you could hear the familiar clang of pots, water running and the way the old pantry door squeaked every time it was opened. Lately you hadn’t felt like eating, as much as James made sure you did. "Don’t want my baby getting sick!" he would laugh, placing yet another plate in front of you. Finally getting up and pulling a jersey on you noticed the time, realising that you had slept a lot longer than you had planned and still had to feed the horses. You made your way quietly down the stairs, hoping not to catch James' attention...but it was too late. "Come...Sit!" he ordered, taking you by the hand and leading you over to the breakfast bar that ran nearly the entire way around your huge, farm styled kitchen. You sat motionless as you watched James whirl around the kitchen doing ten things at once. You smiled to yourself. 'And who said men couldn’t multi task?' you thought. "Sorry, it’s not much" James said, placing a plate of bacon, tomatoes and eggs with toast in front of you. "Didn’t get home till late". "No probs, sorry I wasnt up when you got home" you replied, sculling your glass of water to ease the hunger pains that had set in as soon as you smelt the delicious food. "No probs" James beamed. "You need the sleep" he replied, kissing you gently on the forehead. "Now eat before it gets cold". You picked up a piece of toast, the whole time feeling James' stare on you, and took a bite. Once he was satisfied that you were eating he mentioned something about meeting someone to rent a cabin, but you weren’t entirely sure. You hadn’t been listening, instead you were watching a bird flutter about with a feather that he had found...your mind drifting off aimlessly. Staring out the window you watched James as he climbed into the old farm truck, holding the door open for his trusty old Labrador, Goldie, to jump in beside's him and head off into the words. Scrapping the food into the scrap bin you felt abit guilty over wasting the food that James had cooked but snapped out of it when your thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing. "Hey mo mo!" you heard squealing down the phone. "Sam" you replied, an instant smile spreading on your face. "I’m coming to stay...see you in a few days...gotta go...bye!" she laughed before hanging up. That was Sam! You had meet Sam the first week you had arrived there from New Zealand. The first thing she said to you was that she loved your funny accent. You knew right from the start that you would be best friends. Sam always had a way of knowing exactly how you felt, even when you lived 5 hours apart. And you knew that Sam would always be there no matter how serious or amazing the situation was. Sam saying she would be here in a 'few days' meant that she could either be here in the morning or in a month. You were never too sure with her. She definitely lived in the moment which you loved about her. Walking over into the office you looked up at your pin board which was covered with pictures, phone numbers and photos of Sam and you and remembered when you had been as carefree as her. Opening the diary, you reserved one of the cabins for Sam, writing a note that you weren’t entirely sure when exactly she was coming. Flicking thru the other pages you noticed a booking for the other cabin, in James' writing. The log, 2 bedroom cabin had been booked for 3 months, but James hadn’t left a name. Wow...3 months. you gave a little sigh of relief at the small, but important income, that would bring to the farm. As you heard the familiar sound of the truck heading back up the drive, you looked up at the photo of Sam and you that was taking at a beach about 3 years ago. You had a large sun hat on, with a fake coconut bikini top on and Sam had a top hat on and was wearing a fake moustache! You couldn’t wait until she arrived....you had a lot to talk about....
