holy shit i just watched australia

i need to make sweaty passionate love to the drover IMMEDIATELY

how is he so hot 😱🥵😩

like i literally need him

The way he’d not let you leave the bed for days before he has to go droving. He wants to remember every soft curve and sweet noise he pulls from your lips. Savor the taste of you for when he’s alone on the desert plains with nothing but his hand. He’d dream about what he’ll do to you when he finally comes home after months away. Like the rain that comes every season, he’s not letting you leave his bed until he has to go droving again.

I’m extremely normal about him.

If I was in place of Nicole Kidman I would disintegrate.

I don’t appreciate how Faraway Downs just ruined my life with that alternate ending 😐

AUSTRALIA / FARAWAY DOWNS BOT LIST : (my proudest works 🫧)

drover

[1,]STAMPEDE - when lady ashley comes around to take the reigns of his late husband's bussiness, things seem to be going pretty well. Or, that is, until the abusive workers get fired and it's left up to you to cattle-drove. What happens when a stampede breaks lose? (platonic)

Currently watching Faraway Downs and the urge to write Drover fanfiction is making it hard to focus

[manny-jacinto]

i cannot BELIEVE that out all of the things he created, baz luhrmann is releasing the extended version of Australia AS IF it’s not ALREADY the longest thing he has ever done in his life 😭

like baby girl, people want the extended version Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet or The Get Down not fucking Australia 😐

[tomkeirblyth]

People calling Australia a long movie as if that’s not the standard for movies nowadays lmao

[spaceoperetta]

Today’s experience was logging onto Hulu, seeing Faraway Downs, and going wait uhhh isn’t this literally just Baz Luhrmann’s Australia? And after some googling the answer is “yes, he recut it into a melodrama miniseries and there’s new footage”

~wip wednesday~

thank you for the tags my loves!! - @honeyedmiller @guiltyasdave @eupheme @aurorawritestoescape @mermaidgirl30 all your fics sound amazing!

here's a blurb from my Drover fic (smut with some feels)

His shadowy scruff grazes the insides of your thighs as he open-mouth kisses his way down to the only true place he calls home. He was a roaming man, never settling anywhere for long, but between your thighs, he swears he'd live for the rest of his life.

Ravenous hazel eyes flit up your trembling body to meet your keen stare. No words are exchanged; there isn't much to be said during this sweet, familiar escape.

The two of you know how life is in the outback. Any day could be your last, especially with Drover's line of work, so you relish each precious moment spent together, even if you did occasionally butt heads.

Sometimes, you couldn't help but want to drive him crazy.

i tag @seventeenpins @ghotifishreads @holacia3 @pedrospatch and anyone else who wants to gives us a preview of their fic!

Y'all really let me watch Faraway Downs (Australia) without telling me how it ended huh

[astairwaytobooks]

I did not sign up for that alternate ending to Faraway Downs/Australia! That ripped my heart out it was so sad. Though in hindsight rewatching the original movie ending, it is very clear he was always meant to die. I did appreciate it was a good ending to the story, maybe even better than the movie version, though I think they did a decent job changing it in the movie, but it is just so heartbreaking.

On the flipside that scene did finally tell us Drover's name, which is something I'd always wondered about.

For the rest I really liked the extra context and slower pacing the miniseries provided. I did really miss the movie score though.
