'Did Timothée Chalamet get y/n y/ln a role in 'Little Women'?'
By Bridget Thomas
Tumblr media
As previously reported by various outlets, actress y/n y/ln has been cast as the youngest March sister for yet another remake of "Little Women", expected to be premiered by the end of next year. However, we can't help but wonder, how did y/n manage to get a role alongside actors of such high caliber, such as Meryl Streep and Best Actress Nominee Saoirse Ronan?
Despite the success of movies such as Supercut and The Hating Game, y/n's acting skills cannot even begin to compare to those of her co-stars, she's a romcom actress, and she's supposed to stay that way. But as Ringo Starr once sung: "I get by with a little help from my friends" and y/n is no exception.
Timothée Chalamet, Greta Gerwig's other main muse, has Hollywood eating out of the palm of his hand, and his influence goes a long way. So much so, that he was able to secure Amy's role for new friend (possibly new something else) y/n y/ln.
Right after they were seen mingling at a party in Paris with y/n's boyfriend (probably soon to be ex) Charles Leclerc, y/n got the call that they decided to give her the role.
Don't we all want a boyfriend who uses nepotism to our benefit?
Seriously, though, how does y/n manage to get this heartthrobs to spare a glance her way and do this stuff in her name? Somebody call the Winchester Brothers, we might have a witchcraft case right in front of our eyes.

'Victoria Presley: I still miss my best friend, but all she did was use me.'
By Daniel Gomez
Tumblr media
After staying away from social media and her job for a month and a half, beauty influencer Victoria Presley is back and she's not afraid of anything. Not even legal repercussions.
Back in July, Victoria received a 'Cease and Desist' letter from none other than former best friend y/n y/ln, demanding she stopped talking about her in public and to news outlets. This sparked the rumors that Presley had been selling her secrets to tabloids and was the one to reveal the engagement secret alongside actress Mia Kim, Aidan Kim's sister.
Victoria immediately removed herself from the narrative, deeply hurt by her ex-bestie's actions. Now, after gathering her thoughts and recovering from being stabbed in the back, she's giving us this exclusive interview.
"I can't help but miss y/n, she was my best friend for so long. But all she did was use me." Victoria is still in disbelief of y/n's actions, after giving her all her love and support. "I let her live in my house for months, and one day she leaves without any explanation. All to meet that Formula One guy."
Victoria has expressed her discontent with y/n's relationship with Charles Leclerc several times, arguing he is one of the main reasons y/n cut all ties with her and not the rumors that she revealed y/n's secrets to tabloids.
"He changed her for worse. Their relationship is so toxic, they breakup and get back together again and again, and they're just looking for ways to use the other's reputation for their benefit."
However, Victoria is certain the relationship won't last much longer, since y/n has her sight set on co-star Timothée Chalamet. "y/n has liked him for a while. When the rumors of his relationship with Kylie Jenner came out, she assured me she could steal him away with a flick of her hand."
Meanwhile, Victoria is focusing on her beauty line and its evergrowing sales. "I'm competing directly with Rare Beauty and Fenty. I'm in the big leagues, the way I deserve to be."

Monza, Italy, September 3rd.
1...2...3... deep breath in, 4...5...6, breathe out.
You repeat the process five times until your heart has set in your chest and isn't trying to break free anymore. Until you've stopped squeezing your thighs with your palms and you can keep your eyes open without feeling like the red decoration is stabbing your eyeballs.
It's good that you can manage your anxiety before it turns into panic. You're still embarrassed about The Spain Incident, although neither Charles nor Carlos fault you for it at all. Still, every now and then, their panicked faces flashback in your mind and you feel sorry for them all over again.
You don't want this weekend to turn into The Monza Incident. Not when Charles' contract renewal was announced a few hours ago and he's on Pole Position, this weekend has to be perfect. Or as perfect as possible, for your boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
The weight of the word has multiplied by a thousand in your mind. Silly, when you really think about it. But palpable in a way that has butterflies flying around your stomach every time you think about the word and Charles' smiling face appears in your mind.
He's your boyfriend and you're his girlfriend, and this was a mutual agreement you reached with panic still holding you by the throat, only soothed by Charles' soft lips against your temple and his warm hands rubbing your skin.
You agreed to come to this Grand Prix because it will be the last one for you for a while. Filming for Little Women starts soon, and though they have a couple of races in the States, your schedule can be a little unpredictable. Also, you're hoping to score more roles soon.
You breathe again, deep enough that your lungs ache and lightheadedness threatens to rise through your body. You're overwhelming yourself, again.
According to the world, you’re not skilled enough to be in a movie with Saoirse and Timothée and should give up the role to someone who actually deserves it. Which you won’t do, of course. That someone who deserves it is yourself. It has taken a lot of pep talks in the bathroom mirror to brainwash yourself into believing it, but you’re getting there.
Plus, there are more things to worry about with Victoria back on her bullshit and Aidan's album coming out in two days. There are so many things to fix again, just when you thought you were getting there. Of course the two people that hate you most in the world have to mess with you again.
"Already here?" Carlos asks the second he crosses the door to the Suite. "It's way early."
"Good morning to you too," you let the air out of your already burning lungs and smile at Carlos. "I have nowhere else to be."
You could be at the Paddock Club, mingling with whatever celebrity or rich local is there. Or even visiting McLaren, since Lando offered to 'show you the garage', something Charles didn't like, of course. The secret of your newly earned girlfriend-boyfriend titles is one you try to keep close to your heart.
As if that has worked before.
A wave of anxiety runs down the back of your neck when you remember the tweet you saw this morning about a Deuxmoi tip on Charles and you. What could the exact price be, to reveal your relationship to the world?
"Have you had breakfast? Looks like you're going to throw up," Carlos says, sitting in the sofa opposite yours.
It's at least the fifth time he's told you that during the weekend. You know he does it out of a place of concern, but it still rubs you the wrong way. You also need to look perfect, not like you're going to throw up.
"I had breakfast back at the hotel, it's just the lighting."
"Sure?"
"I'm fine, Carlos. How are you?"
Carlos shrugs, he's not being the center of attention this weekend despite this being another home race for the team. "Good."
"Didn't you have to be at the meeting today?" you question, although it's obvious that by his getting there just now, he didn't.
"Had my PR reminders yesterday. Charles is different."
Of course. He has to know what he's allowed to say about his renewal and what he should not speak on at all.
Your own team advised you not to let yourself be seen at Monza. Mildred would have pulled you out of the plane if it had been up to her, and Walter would have helped her hold you hostage until the weekend was over.
They're both trying to find out about the Deuxmoi pictures too, although you doubt they can reach an agreement of any kind with whoever holds them to stop them from calling People Magazine up.
This whole avoiding being seen thing makes you feel wrong. As if you were doing something bad with Charles instead of just finally letting the love you've felt for him for months show. You hate it.
You're wrong to compare your current situation with your past ones. Aidan was your first really public romantic relationship, but before that, you didn't hide your partners either. Of course you weren't that famous, but even then, you didn't entertain the thought of scurrying around like criminals.
"He'll be fine, y/n," Carlos adds, looking at the way your foot keeps stomping the floor, like you're some kind of hyperactive bunny. "He's on Pole. You can pray for Max's downfall, though, maybe that'll help."
"I don't pray for people's downfall," you click your tongue, crossing your legs to stop the tic.
Karma and all that.
"Maybe you should." Carlos winks at you, and your conversation is finished as Charles leaves his meeting.
You can tell something's off just from the way his shoulders tense, but he smiles at you the moment your eyes meet.
"Everything okay?" you ask before he leans down to reach your height as you sit and pecks your lips.
"Yes, everything's good."
He's lying.
─────────
What was the point of coming to Monza if you're only watching the race through the screens?
You don't think the sun has touched your face at all since you got to the circuit, and you really want to be out there. But you stay put in your seat as the formation lap occurs right outside of the Suite.
It will make no difference, though, Charles is focused on the race, as he should be, rather than whether you're watching him through the TV.
Soon enough you know what will make a difference.
It's some kind of miracle that Charles has managed to regain the P1 position after the disastrous pit stop Ferrari put him through, and maybe Carlos was actually praying for Red Bull's downfall since Max has his very first DNF of the season and Checo can't get past George in P3.
Charles is going to win Monza again.
The decision making tree branches in front of you in a matter of seconds, people at the Suite are already talking excitedly and someone asks if you want to go down, there are four laps left.
You get up from your seat, aware that if life was anything like that videogame you played a couple times on the set of Parisian Valentine with your co-star, the "This action will have consequences" legend would appear on the screen right now.
You follow the Ferrari worker out, but even between the excitement and celebrations, you manage to hear what the PR Manager really thinks of your presence in the Paddock.
"She’s such a PR nightmare,"
She switches to Italian when your eyes fly to her face. And you can only wonder what cruel yet entirely accurate thing she said.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's worse than a nightmare. It feels like the apocalypse all over again. And the weight of the world is back on your shoulders, feeling like you're messing up what was a weekend out of a dream for Charles.
You flashback to Monaco and the way Mati pulled you out of your head and locked your phone in her purse. You wish she was here more with each passing second. You cannot tear your eyes away from every single tweet speculating about your presence, about your relationship, about your intentions. It's overwhelming.
But Charles' happiness is what matters. He's absolutely ecstatic, even after the mishaps during the interviews where his PR training had to kick in and lead reporters back to Formula 1 related questions.
The thought that maybe you should have tried to make friends with more people occurs to you when you arrive at the celebration in the private club and Charles is dragged away from you. He tries his best to hold on to your hand, but the truth is people want to be with him and not you, so you let him take the spotlight he deserves and enjoy it.
"So, are you and Charles dating, then? Didn't you use to be engaged?"
You half-smile at the girl who just asked you the question, so boldly it takes you aback. But you guess her eyes are so bright from how much alcohol there is in her system, she's bound to be direct with liquid courage running through her veins. She's pretty in that dark hair, dark eyes way that has you momentarily doubting your own looks.
The extra heartbeat that takes you to reply, has her eyes shifting around the room before settling on Charles, who is finally walking back to your side.
Your boyfriend hands you a drink and smiles at the dark-haired girl and her friend, politely. "Are you having a good time?" the question is mostly directed towards you, but both girls jump at the chance of saying they're having the time of their lives and congratulating Charles for such an epic win. But they prompt you to join the conversation a few seconds later, so you're grateful for it either way.
There's a song in Spanish playing on the speakers and Charles is doing his best to sing the words while encouraging you to move to the beat with him. With his arms around you, things feel a little lighter, the whole in your chest that anxiety carved out is slowly filling with the love you feel for him, and the happiness of the day outshines the darkness of the thoughts in the back of your mind.
That is, at least, until the first notes of 'In Your Pocket' replace the previous song, after the DJ announces it's a special request. It's a remix, obviously, so people can dance to it, but a few of them have stopped moving altogether just to be a little less discreet about eyeing you.
"C'est pas amusant," you hear Charles say to one of his friends, who is hiding his mouth behind a tall glass of alcohol, his eyes still betray his enjoyement.
"It's fine," you squeeze Charles' arm, trying your best to smile although you're being put in the spotlight and there's nearly nothing worse than being the butt of a cruel joke. "It's just a song."
You wondered many times what those surrounding Charles thought of you. They didn't know you, after all. His brothers were nice to you when you saw them around the Paddock, and it wasn't like you'd hung around the rest of his friends. Did they mock him when tabloids called him a homewrecker? Or did they believe he'd just embarked on what seemed to be a dead-end relationship?
"I'm sorry, soleil, they're just— they're idiots," Charles adds, his hand reaching for yours. He looks genuinely upset and you can't help but hate whoever requested the song a little more for spoiling Charles' mood rather than for making fun of you.
"Charlie, it's okay, I've been through worse," your reassurance doesn't soothe him, so you squeeze his hand and he presses his lips to your temple. "I'd rather listen to Bad Bunny or something, though."
Charles laughs and pulls you out of the dancefloor, to a more private part of the club where you both can catch your breath and share a few kisses, unafraid of people staring at you.

New York, United States, September 7th.
You know you're in trouble when Mildred calls tells you that you need to be at her office ASAP. She also used that condescending 'I'm the adult' tone that sends you back to when you were fifteen and got in trouble with your mother, so it's another indication that she's angry at you.
Of course you know why, the words 'PR nightmare' haven't left your brain in days. And the moment you set foot in New York, Mildred was all over you about every single thing that was being said about the Monza Incident—aka seeing your boyfriend like any normal person would.
"This isn't ideal," Mildred says after a while, she has been explaining the public's perception of you for the past half hour. "It's like you—"
"Like I fucked up?" you cut her off, squeezing your knees to stop from biting your nails.
"We were rebuilding your brand, y/n. People think you waited for things to die a little so you could go public with Charles. Aidan's new album is not helping your case."
If you thought 'In Your Pocket' was bad, nothing compared to the rest of the songs. Some in which he called you a list of things including a homie-hopper, drama starter and said you settled for a 'bum' when you could have had a 'rockstar'.
"How is that my fault?" you don't intend to sound so whiny, but you can't help it. Why are Aidan's actions always your fault somehow?
"People are talking more about how you are dating a Ferrari Driver after spending months saying you weren't, rather than the fact that you landed an incredibly important role."
"We haven't told anyone we're dating,"
Mildred rolls her eyes despite her best efforts to remain professional. "Do you really think that's necessary?"
"What do you suggest we do?" you ask, knowing you won't like the answer.

FOR THE ASK GAME ERM. Either Ada Wong or Luis they’re on my brain rn. Or even Maria Death Island
I'm gonna do all of these so long post beware!!
ADA
How I feel about this character:
I have such a huge crush on her ok. Giggles and twirls my hair. Also I support her shady endeavors go girl get that money!!!! Her design is solid and recognizable and I really like that even though she does good things sometimes she's still someone who works behind the scenes doing illegal shit for money LOL. I also think that her character has a lot of depth even tho a lot of people just see her surface level.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
Leon is the main one (only the remake versions + re6) but I can see her getting with Claire or another girl character! To me she's bi with a preference for women but she does what she has to do for her job. Oh and her and Mia <- my fav RE crackship <3
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
I like to think her and Luis would've been good friends :) or at least I think she's drop by from time to time to spy on him. Maybe if he joined the BSAA/worked with Rebecca I can imagine her trying to poach his research LOL.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Uhhh um idk actually! Some people didn't like her voice for re4r but I personally loved it.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
I REALLY REALLY wish that she was the main character of re6. The whole story revolves around her and her attempt to clear her name and gain her autonomy back so WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DISTRACTING AND CONFUSING ARCS. Don't get me wrong I love Chris and the exploration of how his job has affected him and I LOVE Jake and Sherry but it should've been more about her...it was supposed to be her story....(and I could write a whole essay about how her re6 plot is a metaphor for abuse- specifically sexual abuse... but that's a post for another time.) Also I know Capcom is allergic to backstories but please... I want to know what her motivations are! What drove her to the life she lives now! What does she do with her money!
I also wish that she was in re8 </3 they couldn't handle her cuntiness </3
LUIS
How I feel about this character:
I love Luis, even with how much I see him on my dash i STILL think that he's underappreciated. He has everything a good character has, themes motives etc...
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
LEON I like to think that if Luis had survived he would have eventually gotten with Leon. I mean they lay it on pretty heavily with Luis' flirting, and they have pretty compatible personalities (when Leon isn't being a dick LOL).
My non-romantic OTP for this character: (This is a more if-he-survived-scenario) I know they didn't really meet much in canon but he's besties with Ashley to me. I like to think that she'd forgive him for his role in umbrella and they would party HARD from time to time. I also think that him and Ada would be friends (as much as Ada can be friends with someone due her her job and everything) and would probably take him to dinner from time to time to bitch about life and try to get information out of him. And Rebecca! I think he would love working with her and think that she's brilliant. Scientist friends forever!
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Not really an unpopular opinion but I'm still 99.99% convinced that he's still alive. Unless something in the RE universe blows up into a million pieces then to me it's still alive. If Wesker can survive THAT Luis can survive anything.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
Kinda building on the last question, I would LOVE to see him come back/be alive and work for Rebecca. I would personally like to see him with some mobility aid of some kind due to his spinal injury (like how Buddy at the end of Damnnation has a wheelchair!) ^-^
MARIA
How I feel about this character:
I like her character! I know they're kinda weird about her with her clothes and Leon, but I like how she's not romantically involved with anyone and her only goal is revenge/help her father/ avenge her father. I know it sucks but it's not often that we get to have a female character who isn't romantically involved with someone/interested in a mc so I think she's really cool! I also love how she's quiet and a badass and I personally hc her as selectively mute (aka situational mutism)
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
I don't really ship anyone with her!
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Maybe if things Were Different I could see her being friends with Leon, as even after everything she's done he still sympathies with her and is sad/regretful at her death.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
I don't really have any unpopular opinions about her... maybe that she should've been put in some more combat-friendly clothing, but I digress.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
I dunno! I don't think there's much that could be changed about her/ her circumstances without changing her entire character. Maybe it would'be been nice for her to be given a normal chance at life, or at least join the BSAA or something, but I doubt they would let that happen because she's a bioweapon i'm pretty sure.
Anyways that's all of them! THANK U FOR THE ASKS ERIC ^-^!!!

OKAY FINE LET'S GO OVER THIS IN MORE DETAIL
here's why backfill works in the original trilogy while it doesn't for the Apollo trilogy.
So, our cases are: Dahlia Hawthorne (Phoenix had a girlfriend???) and Clay Terran (Apollo had a bestie???)
For Dahlia, it's written into the narrative so it's a bit of a bad comparison, but it's the best I got. Of course Phoenix never wants to talk about it or acknowledge it. He was so betrayed by someone he loved that it's too much hurt to bring up in casual conversation. (You'll notice how in the beginning of 3-5, even after the player has been given pretty much all the pieces, Phoenix continues to refuse to talk about it. Maya starts needling him about his weirdness around Iris and still, and still, and still, Phoenix refused to say a word.) (And this is sticking to his previous characterisation!! In the first game, he doesn't talk about his connection to Edgeworth until the final case, 1-4. In JFA, he refused to talk about what happened with Edgeworth until 2-3, at the last possible second. And even then he doesn't really explain why he reacted so badly until 2-4. It feels natural because we've had examples of Phoenix doing this shit before, so it makes sense that he has a life outside of the narrative that he just doesn't want to share with us.)
Not only is Dahlia integrated through the narrative as naturally as she can be, she's also integrated well into the characterisation of those she's attached to. Phoenix's bad reaction to Edgeworth's thing in JFA starts making *more* sense when taking his time with Dahlia into consideration. Edgeworth's cold and controlling approach to court is a product of Von Karma, but Dahlia's hand in his first ever case helps add to that "no more surprises" mentality he's got when we first meet him. (And even his turnaround in 1-3!) The only one who kinda suffers characterisation wise from Dahlia being a thing is Mia, in my opinion, but only because of what the narrative had to do. She's so traumatised by this case that she stayed out of the courts for a whole year?? Not the impression she gave off in the first or second games. (But it can be excused through the passage of time. Dahlia's impact was about four years removed from 1-1 and all.)
Dahlia being such a huge thing in Phoenix's backstory doesn't feel tacked on or added for the sake of drama, despite being exactly that, because of how it was integrated.
Now, contrast, Clay Terran.
For starters, who even IS Clay Terran? He's Apollo's bestie (reportedly) and is an astronaut, loves space, and is willing to drug his idol/coworker in order to play along in a farce to prevent a spy from hijacking the station. Okay, sounds great! *We never meet him on screen in the one case he's important for.*
(Quick note, I tend to treat 5-4 and 5-5 as the same case in my brain because 5-5 is just an extension of 5-4. And 5-4 is already interrupted timeline-wise by 5-1 so. You can forgive me for this.) (DD is a real doozy of a timeline wtf were they thinking)
Anyway all this to say, Clay Terran is not important. He's a victim, so the most we get about him is just backfill. Posthumous characterisation, which works when your character isn't so important that you're basing one of your three main leads on it for their heel turn. (Another momentary gripe, I feel like they really leaned into this because it was their only idea for Apollo. "Make everyone wonder wow, Apollo's so different now! What happened to make him like that?" Is a fine idea in isolation, but in practice it really just makes Apollo feel like a completely different character from the one we spent all our time with in AJ.)
Okay so second important question: Who is Apollo Justice? He's an eager no longer so naive kid who's a little loud, a little cranky, and willing to put his trust into his clients and those he comes to know over the course of his journey. Fantastic. This applies only to AJ; in DD, he is willing to mention a friend he's got *constantly* and also wayyy too quick to attach himself to his new coworker, Athena. (It's an issue of story as to why this happened, once again. Apollo had to be on great terms with Athena for the drop to hit as hard as it does in 5-5. He had to mention this otherwise unknown friend for everything in 5-4 to even function.)
But anyway. The reason Clay Terran doesn't work where Dahlia Hawthorne did is simply because. Apollo's whole characterisation had to be tweaked for Clay to even exist whereas Phoenix's whole characterisation was fitted into Dahlia's existence.
Phoenix keeping secrets about his past? Believable. He's done it before. It's congruent. Apollo blabbing about an element that otherwise didn't exist before? Excuse me, uh, you have a friend??? Incongruent I hate it.
(They really had to jam Apollo mentioning Clay into both 5-2 and 5-3, didn't they? Apollo talking about this otherwise unmentioned friend threw me for the biggest loop, mainly because the Apollo I got to know in AJ and form ideas about never had any friends before being forcibly adopted into the Wright family. It seemed out of the question before DD was a thing; he was too grumpy, too lonely, too lacking in extraneous past life details for me to even consider his having a friend, let alone a bestie whom he would throw away everything for.)
You can absolutely explain all of this away but it won't convince me. They jammed Clay Terran into the narrative as sloppily as they did Dhurke and Khura'in and I will die mad about it.

better be home soon for obvious reason. into temptation as well. you know, maybe even the whole album? it's crying album.
the song that’s a fucking bop
when you come!! the chorus when he just screams, like for real WOOOOOOOOOOOOAH UNDER THE HEAVEN!!!
the song i most dislike/least love
umm. boring but none <3. i guess kill eye if i have to chose.
------------
pisces, aquarius, capricorn & jones ltd
my favourite lyric
darkened rolling figures move through prisms of no color // and in hand, they walk the night // but never know each other. (daily nightly - exactly babe. whatever u say)
my favourite song
the door into summer. mike's voice is heavenly on that song. also love the way he pronounces wagons. i don't know why he does that.
the song that makes me cry
don't call on me. don't ask why. i have a weak heart.
the song that’s a fucking bop
um too much to mention; salesman, love is only sleeping, star collector, what am i doing hangin' round'?
the song i most dislike/least love
hard to believe is a bit reminiscent of their cheesy pop songs. i feel like they just put that on there so davy could have something else to sing.

do u guys wanna hear some work drama. it's not drama it's just me being a bitch.
ok so at work at noon every day we get a delivery of new books and books from other branches, and usually we schedule two people back there to unpack and scan in all the books bc it's just a lot (usually 4-7 crates full of books). while they're on delivery, they take all the books from other branches that are holds and put them on a cart and then at 1, two other people will process and wrap all the holds and put them on the hold shelf. I usually put myself on holds at 1 because it gives me an hour to vibe and listen to music after I get off lunch.
so theres this lady at work who i never felt any particular way about. she gives "super into fitness and alternative medicine" vibes. anyway i put her on holds with me one day last week and she is fucking MIA for the first 20 minutes or so and then mostly sits on her phone instead of helping me for the rest. and i try to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe theres something urgent shes dealing w, whatever. so i generate a list of expired holds to go pull while shes alphabetizing the cart of processed holds to be shelved, w the implication that she would bring the cart out when she was finished organizing them and we'd put them away together. i finish pulling the holds. I think "wow, it's taking her a long time" and go check and the cart is just sitting in the middle of the office and she has again vanished. ok. whatever. ticked. I finish the task on my own and make a note not to put her on holds.
then yesterday i made the mistake of putting her on delivery w my work friend. the truck actually normally gets there around 12:15 and you know this woman waits until the truck pulls up to go on break. so theres my friend in the back, shes an even newer hire than me, trying to deal w all this and having no clue where the person who is supposed to be helping her is. luckily im off desk so i can jump in to help her and we get a lot of it processed before she shows up again and claims she didnt know she was on delivery even though 1) I emailed it to her and 2) it is her job to check where she is scheduled.
like I could forgive either of these incidents on their own but both of them? for someone who has been here for years? no <3
i told my work friend that I wouldnt put this lady on delivery again but I'm like. tempted to put her on monday delivery/holds alone just to say fuck you. but that would make me look bad at my job so I wont. but I'm thinking about it <3 fuck you <3
like girlie you work at a library you are not sticking it to the man by slacking off or whatever, u are making ur (young new hire) coworkers lives harder. do ur job bestie! also please tell me when u like to take lunch and which tasks you hate so I can schedule ur lunch not then and put u on ur least favorite tasks as much as possible <3

  had   nisrina   been   the   answer   to   a   couple   that   longed   for   a   family   ?   no   ,   not   even   close   .    she   was   a   solution   .   the   product   of   desperation   that   panicked   at   the   discussion   of   divorce   and   a   future   lost   of   riches   :      for   the   vasquez’s   ,   marriage   was   not   fabricated   to   contain   genuineness   ,   but   to   benefit   both   parties   while   providing   a   stable   front   to   the   media   .   what   was   expected   from   one   another   was   not   love   ,   it   was   to   withhold   the   agreement   that   landed   two   bodies   muttering   the   words   ,   “   i   do   ,   “   .   a   child   ?   was   never   spoken   of   ,   nor   wanted   .   getting   pregnant   was   a   hidden   trick   of   manipulation   ,   silent   words   of   leave   me   and   your   unborn   child   now   and   see   what   happens   .
    nisrina   was   a   pawn   in   her   mother’s   selfish   games   ,   an   accessory   placed   in   matching   outfits   and   paraded   around   .   motherhood   ?   it   was   everything   sabine   has   ever   dreamed   of   .   so   much   that   the   minute   the   door   closed   ,   the   minute   the   camera’s   clicked   off   ,   nisrina   was   placed   in   whoever’s   hands   were   the   closest   and   dismissed   .   such   a   loving   mother   ,   right   ?
      so   where’s   nisrina’s   father   in   all   of   this   ?   the   hotel   tycoon   was   the   complete   opposite   from   his   cold   hearted   wife   .   aloof   and   stern   melting   into   a   surprising   pool   of   pure   tenderness   for   his   child   .   he   might   have   been   angry   at   getting   stuck   in   sabine’s   trap   ,   but   that   anger   never   looked   at   his   daughter  ;   while   ezequiel   never   dreamed   of   fatherhood   ,   he   embraced   it   .   it   taking   all   of   one   second   of   staring   down   at   his   daughter’s   face   to   understand   that   she   was   now   his   sun   .
     growing   up   in   the   presence   of   someone   who’s   honest   about   their   lack   of   desire   to   be   a   parent   ,   was   not   something   nisrina   could   stay   ignorant   to   for   too   long   .    her   innocence   normalizing   it   until   she   was   old   enough   to   perceive   the   world   around   her   .   after   that   ,   it   became   something   that   was   sitting   right   in   front  of   her   face   .   it   was   in   the   books   she   read   ,   the   movies   she   watched   ,   and   in   the   feeling   she   got   as   she   surveyed   her   friends   mother’s   who   looked   down   at   them   with   tenderness   spilling   from   their   hues   .
     nisrina    ,   she   clung   to   the   good   in   those   around   her   ;   no   matter   how   many   times   those   people   proved   themselves   to   be   anything   but   deserving   of   her   love   .    and   with   her   mother   ?   she   tried   .   again   and   again   ,   nisrina   would   reach   out   for   sabine   .   cry   for   her   affection   ,   plead   for   an   ounce   of   interest   .   she   could   offer   gentle   smiles   ,   present   her   achievements   ,   even   tried   acting   out   in   hopes   that   it   would   earn   just   the   slightest   reaction  ..   but   nothing   ever   worked   ,   in   fact   it   seemed   to   just   drive   sabine   away   .   until   eventually   ,   nisrina   was   pushed   into   the   arms   of   a   nanny   and   sabine   was   on   a   plane   to   whatever   country   would   get   her   the   farthest   from   her   daughter   .
     ezequiel   smothered   nisrina   ,   went   to   the   extreme   lengths   to   get   her   anything   and   everything   she   could   ever   want   .   he   wanted   to   fill   the   hole   that   sabine   engraved   in   her   ,   swore   that   if   nisrina   would   let   him   ,   he’d   love   her   enough   for   the   both   of   them  .  
    with   sabine   always   mia   ,   and   her   father   never   staying   too   long   in   one   place   for   work   ,   nisrina   would   be   pulled   from   public   school  ,   and   enrolling   in   private   studies   .    giving   her   the   opportunity   to   learn   without   being   present   in   a   school   setting   ,   and   allowing   her   father   to   bring   her   along   with   him   .   nisrina   would   go   from   an   empty   house   with   staff   members   to   her   father   and   his   hotel   staff   .   not   the   biggest   difference   ,   but   to   have   her   father   always   one  room   away   made   her   feel   less   lonely   .  
   during   these   years   ,   she   would   only   speak   to   her   mother   less   then   three   times   a  year  ..   but   at   that   point   ?   she   was   long   over   begging   her   for   affection   .   the   media   would   brand   her   as   a   daddy’s   girl   ,   the   future   face   of   the   vasquez   hotel   chains   .   her   life   could   consist   of   penthouses   ,   ruling   the   hotel   kitchen   ,   running   aimlessly   around   hallways   ,  singing   in   the   dinning   hall   ,   and   finding   family   in   the   strangest   of   places   .   her   father   would   expand   from   las   vegas   ,   to   new   york   ,   to   the   caribbeans   ,    and   eventually   to   italy  .  
    before   her   eighteenth  birthday   ,   her   father   would   divorce   sabine   officially   .   putting   all   of   his   assets   in   his   daughters   name   .    this   would   cause   chaos   in   the   media   ,   and   land  sabine   on   their   front   steps   in   false   tears   and   apologizes  that   meant   absolutely   nothing   to   either   of   them   .   two   year   later   ,   sabine   would   remarry   and   final   ties   would   be   cut   forever   .
      where   is   nisrina   now   ?   nisrina   is   located   in   the   beautiful   city   of   new   york   ,   in   hopes   of   gaining   peace   and   mind   to   construct   her   first   album   since   being   signed   a   year   ago   .   she   is   still   an   absolute   daddy’s   girl   and   has   an   insanely   close   relationship   with   him   .    constantly   on   the   mission   of   bettering   herself   ,   and   moving   on   from   old   wounds   .
*   CONNECTIONS   .
YOU’RE   MY   BABY   ,   EVEN   WHEN   YOU   LEAVE   ME   .

TVD 9x13 (part 1) The past is never dead. Enjoy! =)
Cut to – The secret facility, Augustus’ office. Matt is waking up from the surgical procedure.
Tumblr media
AUGUSTUS: I have some good news; you won’t need to wear an eye patch; the prosthetic fit perfectly. Trust me, you’ll thank me later. Anyway; better get ready for your father’s funeral. We put in an extra bed in Edward’s room so you can bunk with him for tonight, then you’ll be free to leave tomorrow and forget this ever happened, both of you. I’m sure you two have a lot of catching up. Your suit is in the closet, took the liberty of getting you a new one, the one you brought was an insult to fine tailoring. I’ll let these gentleman help you to your room (a group of what look to be soldiers take him to Edward’s cell room).  
Cut to – Salvatore mansion living room. The gang has returned from their time travel adventure. Katherine is back in her body and sound asleep in her room. Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan, Damon, and Alaric, are having a night cap.
 ALARIC: Well, that was insane… but I’m glad it all worked out, thanks to you, Bonnie.
BONNIE: We all did our part, that’s how a team works. If anything, it was all worth it just to see Katherine stuck in a teenagers body (they crack up).
Tumblr media
DAMON: Totally worth it!
Tumblr media
CAROLINE: Speaking of…
ALARIC: I knew there was no way I would avoid what’s coming…
CAROLINE: And you would be right. You made a major hiring decision without asking me, not cool.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: I didn’t want to bother you during your vacation. If it helps, surprisingly, her students adore her.
Tumblr media
CAROLINE: (In bitter acceptance) I know…
DAMON: (Taking the opportunity to bring up the subject) Who would have thought Kitty Kat would be teaching at the school, and actually give something back to society. Guess that in a twisted way, it kinda worked that she was given the opportunity…
ALARIC: Guess it did. Everyone deserves a chance.
CAROLINE: As much as I hate to admit it, it’s true.
DAMON: Makes you wonder about Kai…
Tumblr media
BONNIE: (Gives him a look, he was not very subtle with his approach) Damon…
ALARIC: What are you talking about?! Kai and Katherine are very different stories.
DAMON: How exactly?  
Tumblr media
ALARIC: For starters, Katherine didn’t murder her entire family, or my wife for that matter.
DAMON: No, but if it’s about headcount, Katherine is above Kai; and if it’s personal, don’t forget she killed Caroline, and Jeremy.  
CAROLINE: I almost forgot about that … that bitch! But I do love being a vampire, so it worked out in the end. But back on point, Kai also tried to kill the girls, and would do it in an instant if he could.
ALARIC: Them, and everyone else.
BONNIE: He could have killed all of us in the prison world, but he didn’t…
ALARIC: Because he was not being himself, somehow his psychotic break worked in our favor.
DAMON: Maybe he wasn’t “being himself” because he really has changed…
ALARIC: Are you hearing yourselves?! What are you guys implying? That Kai deserves a chance because he didn’t kill us? Are you serious! Bon, I’m surprised that you, of all people, would side with that train of thought.
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Don’t patronize me, Ric. You are entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to mine. All I’m saying is that forgiveness is a virtue; and, repeating your own words, everyone deserves a chance, or at least the benefit of the doubt. You know, for a person that prides themselves for being objective, you are being anything but…
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Bon, you know I love and respect you, but your talking crazy talk. Or did you forget what Kai put you through?
BONNIE: No; and I never will. But still, I found the strength to forgive him.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Sorry, but that’s not strength, if anything, it’s fear.
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Oh, you’re gonna psychoanalyze me now?! Professor Saltzman, didn’t know you had so many specialties! Please, enlighten me!
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Don’t push my buttons, Bon.
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Don’t push mine, Ric.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: I can’t believe we went through all that trouble just to spare you from having to see Kai; and now you pull this out your hat.
BONNIE: Well, your so called “masterplan” didn’t even work, so…
ALARIC: That one hurt.
Tumblr media
BONNIE: It was meant to…
Tumblr media
ALARIC: So much for forgiveness being a virtue, ha?
BONNIE: So much for objectivity being the reason behind judgment.
DAMON: Wow, wow, wow… guys, chill out. We are just having a conversation, no need to get personal.
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Too late for that.
ALARIC: (Recognizing that got out of hand) I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to say those things. Seeing Kai opened an old wound. I, I…
BONNIE: I’m sorry too; don’t know what got into me. I understand your feelings, and I have no right to judge.
ALARIC: Neither do I…
DAMON: Aw, my besties are friensies again.
Tumblr media
CAROLINE: Why don’t we make a deal, no mention of Kai, ever again… that escalated way too fast.
STEFAN: I agree.
ALARIC: It’s okay, Caroline, that’s what friendship is about. We might not always agree and bump heads on our views, but we speak our mind. And, in the spirit of being honest and direct, I have to say that I do have a double standard when it comes to Kai.
CAROLINE: Ric, literally, I just said not to mention the “K” word!
BONNIE: Ric is right, Care, we are all friends here, no need for bans. Listen, the reason this came up is because Damon and I had a long chat with Kai, he really did seem remorseful… And, in full disclosure, I’ve also been having these dreams, more like visions of him… His past, his future…I don’t know, changed my perspective… and when I finally saw him, I sensed it, the change, the remorse, the pain…  
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Full disclosure? I know, we had a chat of our own; didn’t remember it until we got back. I think he compelled me to forget, but the compulsion broke once I got here.
DAMON: So, what did he say?
ALARIC: That he was sorry, told me more about his past, but to be honest, I let his words come in and out. I didn’t want to hear it; I wasn’t ready… don’t know if I ever will. But I did feel like his words came from the heart. (To Bonnie) Forgiveness is a virtue, a clear sign of true strength. I admire you for that. And, if you want to give him the opportunity to redeem himself, and let him out of his prison, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s your call. The only thing I ask is for you to give me my time, space, and, of course, make sure he doesn’t present a danger to anyone. If you’re game, I’m on board.
Tumblr media
CAROLINE: Uhm, so we are seriously considering this?
ALARIC: I guess we are. But we all have to agree; and set the ground rules.
CAROLINE: In favor of speaking the truth, I’m sorry but I have to say, when did we become a villain’s reform facility? This is Kai we are talking about, Kai! But, then… I did a lot of horrible things with my humanity switch off… God, I’m so confused! Never expected this conversation to turn into Ethics 101.
DAMON: None of us did, Blondie, but here we are…
BONNIE: We don’t have to decide now, let’s take some time to think this out.
ALARIC: I don’t need more time. I’m ready and willing to do this if you all are.
BONNIE: You already know my answer. I’m in, as long as he agrees to our terms.
DAMON: I’m with Bon.
STEFAN: I’m with Care; (looking at her) whatever you decide…  
CAROLINE: (Turns to Ric) What about the girls? I don’t think Kai will be able to resist the temptation of eliminating the competition.
ALARIC: He doesn’t pose a threat, at least in that sense. There is no Gemini coven to compete for.
CAROLINE: And the psychological damage? Knowing their uncle killed their biological mom, and their family…
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Even if he were here, they will never know that. They’ve been spelled to erase that from their mind.
CAROLINE: When was this? How come I didn’t know?!
ALARIC: Guess it never came up. I had Valerie do the spell as soon as they were born.
CAROLINE: And when he came back from hell?
ALARIC: They never knew who he was… and like I said, they’ll never know.
BONNIE: You know I would never put the girls in any danger. If I thought there were the slightest possibility of them getting hurt, I wouldn’t be considering this.
ALARIC: We know, that’s the only reason I agreed.  
STEFAN: If we could take away his powers, it would make it easier to trust that he won’t use them for the wrong reasons…
Tumblr media
BONNIE: We can’t take them away because of his vampirism, but I can bind them. And when, and if, he proves himself, I’ll give him access to them again.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Let’s talk supervision. He will need to be close to keep in check, but not too close.
DAMON: He could stay at the cottage, it’s not exactly the house, yet it’s close enough to supervise.
CAROLINE: Works for me, as long as he is banned from the house and the school; at least until I know he can be trusted.
BONNIE: (To Ric) … are you really okay with this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ALARIC: Not nearly enough, but I understand why we should at least try. So let’s give that bastard the chance he never had; and if he doesn’t take it, we’ll send his ass right back where it came from. Everyone agree? (They nod).
DAMON: So, when are we doing this?
BONNIE: How about Thanksgiving, to go with the spirit?
CAROLINE: Only if you promise me that he won’t ruin my dinner!
Tumblr media
BONNIE: He won’t, I promise.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: There’s no way in hell he’s having dinner with us, right, Bon?
BONNIE: No; Damon and I will set him up at the cottage, then we’ll join you guys. Everything will work out.
CAROLINE: How can we be sure he won’t flee the minute he’s left alone.
BONNIE: Binding spell, he won’t be able to leave the cottage.
STEFAN: Can’t he just siphon the spell away?
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Not with his powers bound.
DAMON: Well, it’s all figured out… Look at us, who would have thought we would ever be thinking of this, let along doing it.
BONNIE: Who would have thought I would be the one to put it on the table … Guess some things do change.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Guess they do… Okay, now that that’s settled, I’m gonna call it a night. See you guys tomorrow (he leaves).
Cut to – The Powell mansion, Edward arrives after being MIA for some days. Anthony is relieved to see he is alive and well.
 ANTHONY: Sir. (gives him a fatherly hug); you had me almost go mad of worry!
Tumblr media
EDWARD: I’m sorry, Anthony, I’m fine. I just needed a couple of days off the radar to clear my head.
Tumblr media
ANTHONY: Would it be too much to ask to inform us, next time you feel like performing a disappearing act?
EDWARD: I will. I promise.
ANTHONY: You should inform The Madame you are here…
THE MADAME: (Walks in the room, looking mad, and worried) That won’t be necessary. I swear I could smack you right now!
Tumblr media
EDWARD: I am sorry, I should have told you both. But I’m back, and fine.  
Tumblr media
THE MADAME: (Hugs him) Thank god! Where the hell did you go?
Tumblr media
EDWARD: (Hesitant, he doesn’t seem to remember himself) Uhm, just some place I know… Listen, I’m really sorry for what I put you through, but I’m exhausted, and really need some decent sleep. Goodnight, we’ll talk more in the morning (goes up to his room).
Tumblr media
THE MADAME: Something is off with him…
ANTHONY: Something indeed.
Tumblr media
Cut to – Fell’s church, underground tombs, late at night. A large number of bodies, that look like they have been horribly attacked, are piled up.  
 VERITAS: That was a beautiful dinner, my love.
LUCINDA: I had them specially wined and dined, just for you (kisses him).
VERITAS: I know this is not what I promised, but once I get what I need from this god-awful place, I swear on my soul that I will give you anything you want.
LUCINDA: (Teasing) You don’t have a soul.
VERITAS: Would you still love me if I did?
LUCINDA: Of course not… (One of the bodies makes a sound, she approaches) Oops, looks like this one didn’t get enough. Want to finish him off?
VERITAS: Please, you do the honors. (She savagely tares into his neck, until she rips his head off).
Tumblr media
LUCINDA: (As she wipes the blood from her mouth) And where exactly in this puny little town is that “thing” you are looking for?
VERITAS: It’s in the church’s altar, but given our “situation”, we can’t access that area; or so it is believed. I don’t want to risk turning into dust, only to find out if it is in fact true. We need to compel someone to fetch it for us.
LUCINDA: Why didn’t you compel one of the dinner plates to do it?
VERITAS: It’s not that simple. Only the worthy ones can have access. (Looking down at the bodies) Do any of these seem godly to you?
Tumblr media
LUCINDA: Not judging from the place I got them… (They smirk).
VERITAS: (Kisses her) God, I love you, woman!
LUCINDA: And I love you.
Tumblr media
VERITAS: Trust me, once you see what it is, you’ll know its worth it. I would tell you, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise.
LUCINDA: I understand. When are the others arriving?
VERITAS: Tomorrow. So let’s not waste any more time, and take advantage of our alone time… (grabs her passionately; they make love, unperturbed by the massacred bodies that surround them).

Cut to – Munich University, operating theatre. Elena, Sage, and Alex, are working on an assignment for a Biomedical Robotics project.
 ELENA: (Trying to surgically implant a chip in a corpse, and failing badly) This is so above my abilities! Hell, I can’t even open a regular corpse, let along insert this thing inside it! I’m premed for Christ sake; how do they expect me to know this.
Tumblr media
ALEX: Relax, Elena, no one expects you to. That’s the beauty of this program, it’s about the challenge, not your educational level. You’ve read the books, seen the lectures, now practice. It’s all trial and error, and they know. That’s why they give us dead bodies to experiment.
SAGE: They do that in Med school too, Alex. The only difference is that here, we don’t have to follow the rules.
Tumblr media
ELENA: I don’t even know what the rules are!
Tumblr media
SAGE: Trust me, you don’t need to know them. Medicine is about knowledge and experience. Know your art, master your art, fuck the rules.
ELENA: No disrespect but that sounds very irresponsible.
SAGE: Do you think Marie Curie was following the rules when she discovered radium and polonium? Love what you do, work your ass off, and believe in yourself, that’s all you need. Nothing irresponsible about that.
Tumblr media
ELENA: Guess not…
ALEX: Where’s Sam anyway? Wasn’t he assigned to this project too?
Tumblr media
ELENA: We had a little fall out, I asked him to team up with the other group; needed some space.
SAGE: What happened?
ELENA: You know what happened.
Tumblr media
SAGE: Wait? Is this about the test tube thing? I swear, I was just doing a solid for a friend.
Tumblr media
ELENA: I know, I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at him for not telling me, especially for not destroying it like I asked him to.
SAGE: You were right to do that, by the way. That thing is creepy.
ELENA: Were you able to find out what it is?
SAGE: It was impossible, molecules behaved very strangely… almost like they purposely changed themselves when they knew they were being watched… Never seen anything like that before. Maybe if I had more time to study it, I could have figured it out, but Pietro caught me red-handed and confiscated it. Listen, in Sam’s defense, he is very protective of the people he loves, he was probably just trying to find out what it was, and why someone would send it to you…
ELENA: I know, but still, he should have told me.
SAGE: Well, no arguing there. Hey, can’t say I didn’t try.
ELENA: Thanks, but I’m gonna punish him for a bit longer.
SAGE: I have some whips, if you’re into that sort of thing (teasing wink).
ELENA: (Smirks) I’ll let you know. Anyway, about Pietro, you guys really need to be careful with him.
ALEX: (Mocking) Because he’s a vampire?
ELENA: No, because he’s insane.
ALEX: How so?
ELENA: I don’t know, he rubs me the wrong way.
SAGE: He’s just eccentric, in a blood sucking type of way.
ELENA: Just be careful with him…
SAGE: Why, did something happen?
ELENA: No, I haven’t even exchanged one word with him, but I have a gut feeling.
ALEX: I get where you are coming from.
SAGE: (With lust in her eyes) But he’s so yummy! Wouldn’t mind a little evil if it comes in that package.
ELENA: He’s like 200 years old…
SAGE: (Sarcastically) Uhm, really?
ELENA: Okay, forget I said that, putting my foot in my mouth.
ALEX: (Snarky) Oh, come on, Sage, can you not let your panties blur you’re judgement, for once. Didn’t’ you hear what Elena said, she has a gut feeling, maybe you should listen.
SAGE: What I do with my panties is my business, so mind your own.
ALEX: No problem; I was just trying to be a friend.
Tumblr media
SAGE: No, you weren’t; but whatever, over it.
Tumblr media
ELENA: (Sensing the clear tension between the two) Okay, why don’t we get back to our patient; he might be dead, but if he weren’t, he’d definitely be dead by now.
Tumblr media
Cut to - Alaric’s bedroom, late into the night. He’s sound asleep, in full rem mode. In his dream, a familiar face appears.
 JO: Ric…
ALARIC: Jo?
Tumblr media
JO: (Smiling) Last time I checked, that is who I was…
Tumblr media
ALARIC: (Hugs her tight) Why haven’t you visited? It’s been so long since the last time you came to me…
Tumblr media
JO: You needed to move on, and if I kept showing up in your dreams, you wouldn’t have.
ALARIC: I miss you.
JO: I miss you too. But you have to let me go, I’m fine, I’m at peace. And Radka, is absolutely wonderful… Don’t you dare ruin that.
ALARIC: (Smiles) I won’t, I promise. But you didn’t come here to tell me that, did you?
JO: No, I didn’t.
ALARIC: We are insane for thinking about it, I’m sorry I even gave it a thought. I’ll backtrack it all tomorrow, I swear.
JO: Don’t. That’s why I’m here, but not for the reason you think. I understand everything now, and giving him an opportunity is the right thing to do. He’s ready for this, and so am I. That’s why I’ve come to you… to let you know that I support you, all of you.
ALARIC: But how could you be fine with this, after everything he’s done?
JO: He’s my brother, Ric. I want to...  I need to believe in him… You weren’t there when we were growing up, they treated him horribly since he took his first breath. He never had a fighting chance; they broke him before he could even be a whole… I never understood what that implied, until I died.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: Jo, I…
JO: I know, but don’t be. There is nothing to be scared of. Our girls will be perfectly fine. You, me, and Caroline, have made sure of that.
ALARIC: But…he killed you…
Tumblr media
JO: I killed him first… by not trying, by not standing by his side when I was witnessing all the abuse. He deserves for someone to fight for him, to believe in him… and you are the one.
ALARIC: Jo, I don’t know how to do this…
JO: You’ll figure it out, you always do (smiles and kisses him). I have to go, just know that I love you, and the girls, always and forever. You have made me even prouder for finding it in your heart to at least try.
ALARIC: (Crying) Wait, please, don’t go… don’t leave me alone.
Tumblr media
JO: You are not alone; you never will be.
Tumblr media
ALARIC: I love you… 
Tumblr media
(she vanishes as his dream transcends into consciousness).
Cut to – 2018 prison world. Kai is having another one of his uncanny tea parties with the Miss. Cuddles replicas.
 KAI: I told you she wouldn’t leave us here. We are going home! Any day now, any day… (smiles, sips his tea, the same Beethoven song lingering in the background).

Two Christmas’ (Alec Volturi x Reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were nervous. You were still working on your relationship with Jane but was disadvantaged since you were romantically involved with Alec. She thought you were taking her brother from her and it especially didn’t go well since you were human. Even Alec himself, had trouble with that sometimes. As of recently things were going well and you didn’t want to ruin that. 
You and Alec made plans for spending some time out of the castle on Christmas day which was tomorrow. Alec wanted Jane to come along since they didn’t like being apart unless they had to. Jane decided to go but they were interrupted by Aro, who offered his opinion. “I don’t believe you should, Jane. Such a day should be spent exclusively with your significant other. I don’t think (Y/N) would appreciate you coming along.” The twins were very disheartened by this so much so that they said nothing else about it. Alec only just telling you. While he was away to meet some nomads on the outskirts of Italy, you saw the opportunity to approach Jane and give her what you had been hiding all along.
You dug into your beside drawer taking out a box about the six of your palm. You’d never be ready so you immediately left, trying not to think too hard on what you were about to do. 
You knocked on the door, hiding the box behind your back and Jane opened it a second later with a skeptical look. “Hi Jane, I was hoping I could talk to you?” “...Very well. Close the door behind you.” Jane turned away and you hurried in, doing as she asked.  “Take a seat.” She gestured to the bed. You complied and she followed suit.  “You’ve been awfully quiet. You’ve been locked away in here for about two days now...are you okay?” “I can assure you, im fine.” She said with a stoic expression. It sounded systematic in how she said it. “Uhm, well, Alec told me-” “What do you have behind your back?” Jane tried to peer behind you but you continued to block her view. “I’ll show you in a second. I just want to talk to you about something first.” You said quickly and she remained quiet. “Alec mentioned that you two were talking about tomorrow.” she hummed in agreement, nodding once.  “He also told me what Aro said.” You didn’t get a response so you continued. “I didn’t think it fair for Aro speak for me. Truth be told, Alec didn’t tell me anything about this until just before he left. So i didn’t know that you coming was even on table but i wanted to tell you in person that I’d be thrilled if you came with us.” Jane seemed taken aback for a second. “But Aro-” “-was wrong, or at least, he wasn’t accurate. Christmas is about spending the time with the people you love and i want to spend it with my family.” “I dont understand.” Jane muttered. “I know you have your judgements about me and i know you think i’m going to snatch your brother and run away but I promise i have no intention. I find it admirable how close you two are, I wouldn’t dream of separating you. It wouldn’t be right if you weren’t there, not just because i know it would dampen Alec’s mood but also because...you’re my sister.”  What really drove it home was you calling Jane your sister. She wouldn’t have believed you otherwise but if you were exceptionally cruel, you wouldn’t have went to such lengths. It made her second guess whether she was really losing her brother or if she was actually gaining someone else. 
“So, um, I got you something, consider it a Christmas present that’s also a peace offering?” You gave her a small smile holding out the black box. “I mean, im not really supposed to give you it until tomorrow and I didn’t get the chance to wrap it or anything but-” You were cut off when Jane gently took the box, looking shocked. “How...when?”  “I have my ways.” You joked lightly. She opened it and stared at it.
Inside was a silver charm bracelet, already including three charms. “I didn’t know what kind of charms you’d like or if you even liked charms so forgive me if you don’t like them.” You scratched behind your neck. One was red with black roses, another glittering gold and the last white and opaque.  “It’s beautiful.” Jane trailed her fingers along it. “Tell me about these...charms.” Jane said quietly.  “Oh well, you can pick your own and have as many as you like. Is your first time seeing them?” Jane nodded. “They look like small pendants.” You smiled. “Do you like it?” You asked and Jane nodded again. “Thank you. I’ve never received a gift for an occasion. Gifts are rare.” “Im glad, i didn’t show Alec to see if you’d like it. I haven’t got him anything or anyone else for that matter." Jane heard something as her head perked up. "Alec's returning. He's coming this way." "Hide that!" You said quickly with excitable glee as Jane quickly put it in her desk drawer and made her way back. 
A minute later, Alec walked through the door. "Im surprised to see you two together." "Yes well-" You spoke up but Jane interrupted you. "We missed you, brother. (Y/N), decided to visit and check on me. It's a sweet gesture, don't you think?" Alec nodded with a soft smile. "I appreciate you looking after my sister whilst I'm gone, cara mia." Alec looked at you before bending down to kiss your forehead. You smiled back at him as he moved to quickly kiss his sister's cheek and sat beside her. Before long he was lying on his back. "Alec, please do not make a mess of my bed." Jane scowled. Alec huffed and Jane lightly shoved his arm. "Jane, you know how to make a bed." "That doesn't mean I enjoy doing it." "We have to do it all the time." Alec muttered and Jane, alarmed, looked to you. "Your brother likes to wrestle. Imagine that, eh? A young guy -however old he is- being fueled with testostero-" Alec rolled over, covering your mouth. "let's go. You've said enough." You groaned. "Alright, alright, I'm going, I'm going." Alec hauled you up as you walked back to your shared room. 
He let you go in first, closing the door and wrapping his arms around you from behind. You turned to face him in his arms, wrapping your own around his neck as he smiled at you. “What are you two up to?” Alec’s voice was quiet. “Worried?” You teased. “No, I’m happy to see you both get along but Jane has taken to you rather quickly.” “It’s a start...I gave her a christmas present.” “You did? What did you give her?” Alec seemed surprised. “A charm bracelet, im sure you’ll see it.” “That’s very kind of you cara mia.” “Oh we aren’t done there, my love.” You grinned at him. “Do you remember telling me about your talk with Jane about tomorrow before Aro got involved?” “Of course.” “Well, I told Jane i wouldn’t have it any other way. I insisted that she come with us tomorrow.” “You did?” Alec’s smile vanished, as though he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. You nodded. “Of course I did. She’s your sister. I’m sure she’ll tell you exactly what i sa-” You were interrupted when Alec gave you a kiss before pulling you into a hug.  “Thank you.” You heard him say into your shoulder. 
Christmas day couldn’t have come fast enough. “Now that is a big Christmas tree.” You said gazing up at the huge decorated tree in the town square but also being met with falling snowflakes to the face. You turned to see both Jane and Alec, also looking up at the tree with violet eyes.  “It’s impressive, indeed.” Jane said. All the surrounding stores were shut but the lights on their display windows still on. One particular display window caught your eye. You gasped. “Oh Jane! Come and see this!” You took Jane’s hand and pulled her along, lightly running toward the window. Alec couldn’t help but smile at the sight of seeing the love of his life and his sister, hands interlocked as they rushed ahead. He stayed back admiring the sight before following after you.
You both peered into the window still holding hands. "More charms!" You exclaimed. "Oh, I love that one!" "I like the silver and blue one." Jane smiled. "Where is it?" You looked puzzled unable to locate it. Jane pointed to the charm. It was silver plated and navy blue with a slight shimmer to it, no where near as glittered as Jane's gold charm. "Oh me too!" You nodded profusely. As she lifted her hand to the window, a twinkle caught your eye. There, on her wrist, was the bracelet you got her which you were certain she had been hiding under her sleeve.
Last Christmas had went from uneasy to one of the best. You remembered it well. It didn't take long for Jane to accept you after that. Whilst the twins still preferred to have their own time together. You were included more often and Jane seemed much happier to see you giving you a smile as she would the Masters or Alec.
You bound into the room, Christmas Eve arriving once again. "Why don't you give your love for Christmas!?" You sang out as you enter the room. "Why hello to you too." Demetri turns to look at you with a smile. "So fun fact, I've got you guys presents this year. However...my bestie gets hers before any of you. She's my favourite." You grin handing Jane a small bag. Jane smirks as she opens the small bag to find another three charms, one however was silver and smooth which has her name on it in cursive. The perfect addition.

A/N : Please be kind. This is my first time posting something I have written.
Chapter 1 : Brielle
12/26/17
Dear Diary 🖤,
You know when life goes really great, and you think the universe isn't against you, and then all of that changes one day? Well that day is today. Today my family and I are moving from Dublin, CA to Miami, Florida. My dad says being closer to his side of the family would be good for us. Can you believe that?! That is so not fair!!
Ever since my parents found out about my mental health issues, they have been super overprotective, and it's driving me insane! I don't even want to move to Florida, it's so hot!! Besides, they can't just make me uproot my life and move across the world to live closer to people I don't know! Ugh! I hate this!! I just wish they would listen to me and my concerns, but nooo they don't because I am "too young and delicate." Well I am gonna prove them wrong , and then we will see if I am still too young and delicate!!!
Love 🖤,
Brielle
I close the leather bound book with silk flower designs on the front, along with my initials, B.M. I trace the letters lightly with my finger as the memory of my grandma Marie handing me the book with a radiant smile flashes in my mind.
Just remembering her smile was enough to make me bring tears to my eyes. I miss her so much. Grandma Marie passed away a few months ago on this exact day, but every time I think of her, it feels like only yesterday when she collapsed on the floor and stopped breathing. Interrupting my thoughts, Brianna shouts, "Brielle! Are you ready to go yet? We have to leave now if we are going to make it to the airport on time!"
"I'm coming. Just need to grab my bag!" I responded with a smidge of annoyance. I love my twin sister, but she thinks that she can tell me what to do and that is so annoying. I get that she is a few minutes older than me, but seriously, it needs to stop. I make my way down the spiral staircase after putting my diary back in my bag.
At the bottom of the stairs, I find Brianna sitting on the couch in a formal shirt and ripped jeans with the biggest smile on her face.
"I'm glad at least one of us is excited to leave everyone we know just to meet people we don't!" I state sarcastically.
" Yeah! Well, one of us has to be the mature one. Not everyone can be as dramatic as you. I mean it's not like your life is ending!"
" Hahaha! I am not that dramatic! Anyways, where are Dad and Mom?"
" They are outside, putting all the luggage in the car." She looked down at her phone.
I started to make my way towards the front of the house when my phone started to ring, playing" Flying Solo". I check to see who is calling me to see that it is Mia, my best friend, and answer it.
" Hey, bestie! What's up?" I ask cheerfully.
" Don't ' hey bestie' me! You said you would call me yesterday, to say goodbye before you had to leave and you didn't. What happened?!"she screams in my ear. Uh oh! I am screwed. I love Mia, she's the best but she is hard to deal with when she is upset.
"Sorry, Mia! I was so busy packing for our move to Florida that it slipped my mind! Can you ever forgive me?" I asked apologetically.
"Hmm…let me think….okay! I can forgive you, but I still can't believe you're leaving today!" She says with a hint of sadness in her voice. I hate knowing that she is sad because of something I have no control of. I know I should tell her that we most likely won't be able to see each other again, but I couldn't bear to say that, so instead I ended up saying.
" Hey! Just because I'm moving doesn't mean we can't visit each other over holidays or weekends!" I tell her in my most cheery voice.
" Really? Yay! I can't wait to head to the beaches when I meet you in Florida for the holidays!"she exclaimed.
Why did I say that? I can't believe I just lied to my b.f.f of seven years. I say goodbye to Mia, then head outside to put my luggage in the car. When I make it outside, I see my parents talking near our red SUV with the leather seats. They seem really serious, so whatever they are talking about is probably something they want to hide from us. I love my parents, but sometimes having a conversation with them can be... difficult.
" Hey mom, and dad! I have my luggages, should I put them in the trunk?" I ask.
" Oh! Um… yeah, honey. They go in the trunk," my mom says shocked. Well that's not suspicious! This is why it is hard to talk to them without them constantly watching what they say to me. They are afraid that if they say one wrong word I will shatter like glass.
" Okay," I replied with a final tone signaling the end of the conversation. I really don't want to discuss my feelings with my parents right now. I know they do it because they care, but sometimes it can get real annoying real fast. After putting my luggage in the trunk I turn around, to see my dad with the same worried expression he shows before he asks me what I most dread to hear. " How are you feeling today Brielle? Is everything okay?" He asked hesitantly.
"Dad, I'm okay. I promise. Besides abandoning the only home I have ever known, I am okay."
"Honey, we know that you don’t want to move to Florida, but I really need family around right now especially after losing Grandma Marie. I hope you can understand.” He said solemnly. Wow! I feel terrible. How could I act so selfish? I am not the only person who was affected by Grandma’s passing. Even though I might hate it, I will have to pretend to like moving for my dad’s sake.
“ I am so sorry dad! You’re right, maybe Florida won’t be so bad. I mean, there are beautiful beaches I could enjoy there.” There is a beat of silence between us before Brianna comes out, and asks, “ Shall we head to the airport? Our flight leaves in one and a half hours right? And we still need to go through security?”
“You’re right, sweetheart. Let’s go! Get in the car.” Mom responds. We all get into the car with mom behind the wheel. She then pulls out of our driveway and heads down the road of my childhood neighborhood. Watching my childhood neighborhood zoom by I can’t help but get lost in all the good and bad memories I have experienced in this neighborhood. I am going to miss this place so much, but I was bound to leave this place soon. Why not start now. Florida, beware. The Williams family is coming.

The Weekend Warrior for January 10, 2020 – 1917, Like A Boss, Just Mercy, Underwater
Well, it looks like we’re back to the usual business now that it’s 2020 with the first weekend with four wide releases – two new movies and two expanding after opening in limited release over Christmas. I’m running a little behind on this so I’ll work on finishing a few reviews before Friday but for now, you can just get a general idea of what’s coming out so you can make some moviegoing plans.
Tumblr media
The big movie that I’m most excited for people to see is Sam Mendes’ WWI epic 1917 (Universal), starring George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman as two soldiers sent on an urgent but dangerous mission to the frontlines to prevent an invasion that could leave thousands of British soldiers dead. It’s one of the most exciting movies I saw last year, which is why it ended up on my Top 25 at #2. I already reviewed the movie for ComingSoon.net and did some interviews for VitalThrills.com, so I probably don’t have a ton more to say about it, but it is the one movie I can recommend whole-heartedly this weekend. It is easily one of the best movies I saw last year (twice!)
Tumblr media
This weekend also brings the high-concept R-rated comedy LIKE A BOSS (Paramount), which pairs Rose Byrne with Tiffany Haddish and Salma Hayek, three very funny women and great actors in a movie directed by Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl). Essentially, Byrne and Haddish play long-time besties who have been building a small grassroots make-up company and then Hayek comes along as a huge corporate mogul who wants to buy them out who makes a deal that will allow her to get a larger percentage if the two friends break up. You can probably guess the rest. (My review will be posted later tonight since it’s under embargo.)
Mini-Review: It was almost immediately apparent as Like a Boss began that this movie wasn’t going to be for me. It wasn’t the premise or the characters as much as it was the fact that it expects the viewer to be somewhat savvy about the make-up business, something I know (and care) little about.
Byrne and Haddish play best friends Mel and Mia, who have turned their shared love of make-up into a thriving local business that gets the attention of Salma Hayek’s Claire Luna, a big-shot exec at a corporation who wants to buy a stake in their business but with a catch. If for some reason the friends break-up, Luna gets the majority share of the company. This is literally the difference between a 51% and a 49% stake… so not really that big a deal.
I’m not even sure where to begin with this because there’s so much talent involved that generally deserves better, but Haddish has yet to deliver anything on par with her Girls Trip role, and that doesn’t change here. Mind you, I’ve been a big Rose Byrne fan for quite some time, and she’s really been great in movies that allow her to go between humor and drama, but it feels as if she’s trying way too hard to keep up with Haddish, who has actually toned back her character to be more of a 4 or 5 on the Haddish scale.
Jennifer Coolidge seems to be doing the exact same thing she’s done in everything from Legally Blonde to Two Broke Girls, basically acting like a dimwit, and it’s a shame because it’s not really a good part. There’s also Mel and Mia’s three best friends who are so useless at bringing anything to the story that it’s unclear why they’re in the movie at all except to act as a Greek Chorus.  This leaves it up to Billy Porter to steal the movie with but just one scene, and pretty much the only one that delivers a laugh.
I’m not sure if the makers of this movie thought that it would be seen as another pro-feminist movie that women flock to, but the problem might be the simple fact that it’s written and directed by men. That certainly couldn’t have helped, especially since this movie is clearly trying to be another Bridesmaids by pushing the R-rated envelope.
The thing is that if you’re going to make a comedy, you should at least try to make some effort for it to be funny, and the fact that Jennifer Lopez’s Second Act takes place in a similar environment but finds a way to be funnier is telling that Like a Boss just isn’t up to snuff.
It’s doubtful Like A Boss will be anyone’s worst movie of the year, but that’s because it isn’t particularly memorable and will likely be forgotten by February.
Rating: 5/10

Another movie expanding nationwide after a platform release is Dustin Daniel Cretton’s prison drama JUST MERCY (Warner Bros.), which stars Michael B. Jordan as young defense attorney Bryan Stevenson, who finds himself trying to get prisoners on Death Row exonerated. The movie also stars Jamie Foxx as Walter McMillian, a man falsely accused of murder who becomes Bryan’s biggest case to date while Brie Larson plays Eva Ansley, who works with Bryan. I was kind of bored by the movie the first time I saw it, but I gave it another chance recently and generally liked it more, especially towards the last act. I may write a review before Friday if I can find any time but I’m pretty slammed this week.
The last movie of the weekend is actually one I’ve been looking forward to, since the sci-fi thriller UNDERWATER (20th Century Fox) is my kind of movie. It stars Kristen Stewart, Jessica Hardwick (from the Netflix series Iron First), TJ Miller, Vincent Cassell and John Gallagher, Jr. as a team of scientists who are trapped 6 miles below sea level when their station is hit by a catastrophe and they learn that they’re not alone down there. It’s the new movie from William Eubank, a talented filmmaker who I interviewed years agofor his movie The Signal. I’m also still working on my review for this so please check back tonight/tomorrow for it.
Mini-Review:
It’s a bit of a bummer this new undersea horror-thriller probably won’t get a fair shake from critics, because it’s being released in January. Far too many film critics just love their clichés, and when it comes to January movies (other than the ones premiering at Sundance), they expect everything to be horrible. They go in with that thought in mind and then nitpick to make sure they’re theory is right. Maybe it’s true, but it’s also not particularly fair when you have a movie like Underwater that delivers exactly what’s being sold.
The underwater drilling station Kelper rests on the outskirts of the Mariana Trench, and no sooner then we meet Kristen Stewart’s electric engineer Norah, Kepler is hit by a powerful earthquake that tears the station apart, as she and a few of her colleagues do what they can to survive. They soon learn that they’re not down there alone.
Yes, the premise is a bit of a horror cliché we’ve seen many times before, mostly in space thrillers like the classic Alien, but director William Eubank (The Signal) clearly has chops to direct a much bigger-scale movie like this that involves a lot of underwater FX-work.
While the dialogue isn’t always great, and the attempt to make TJ Miller the film’s comic relief doesn’t always work, you generally like the characters played by Stewart, Hardwick, Cassell and Gallagher, which tends to be half the battle when it comes to horror films.  You actually care about them as they face bigger and bigger jeopardy.
I’m sure some women will take issue with Stewart spending a good portion of the movie in a skimpy bathing suit, as soon as she’s out of the bulky deepsea suit she wears for the rest of the movie, but you won’t hear any complaints from me about that.
Like I said, the movie gives you exactly what is being advertised and Eubank has created a movie that’s suitably claustrophobic and at times, legitimately terrifying.
Rating: 7/10
LIMITED RELEASES
The movie opening in limited release that I can recommend highly is Ladj Li’s police thriller LES MISERABLES (Amazon Studios), an amazing police thriller about a group of French detectives trying to deal with issues taking place at the local projects. I thought this French film (France’s shortlisted selection for the Oscar “International Film” category) was fantastic and shows a promising new talent in Li, who wrote and directed the film. If it’s playing in your area, I recommend checking it out, although I’m guessing it will be on Amazon Prime sometime soon as well.
I haven’t seen Jon Avnet’s THREE CHRISTS (IFC FIlms), which has Richard Gere playing Dr. Alan Stone, a psychiatrist in charge of dealing with three schizophrenic patients who all believe they’re Jesus Christ, as played by Peter Dinklage, Walton Goggins and Bradley Whitford. It will open in select cities and On Demand shortly after.
Opening Friday in the States roughly eight months after it opened in the United Kingdom is Ron Scalpello’s crime-thriller THE CORRUPTED (Saban Films), starring Sam Claflin as Liam, an ex-con trying to win back the love of his family, while trying to get out of the tangled web of corruption surrounding him. The movie also stars Timothy Spall, Hugh Bonneville and Charlie Murphy.
Josh Hartnett and Margarita Levieva star in Anthony Jerjen’s Inherit the Viper (Lionsgate), playing siblings Kip and Josie, who are dealing in opioids as their only means of survival.  Kip’s attempts to get out of the family business put him and his sister and younger brother (Owen Teague) in danger. it will open in select cities and On Demand.
Ofra Bloch’s documentary Afterward (1091) debuted at DOC-NYC last year with its look at the issues between Israel and Palestine that came out of the Jews being driven out of Germany during World War II and settling in Israel where they were seen as an enemy by the Palestinians, while trying to give and receive forgiveness. This is a fantastic doc that will open on Friday and then be on VOD January 28.
Alison Reid’s doc The Woman Who Loves Giraffes (Zeitgeist/Kino Lorber) is a little more obvious what it’s about, as it follows Anne Innis Dagg’s solo journey to South Africa in 1956 to study giraffes, featuring voicework by Tatiana Maslany, Victor Garber and more. It opens at New York’s Quad Cinema on Friday and at the Laemmle in Los Angeles on February 21.
Opening today at the Film Forumin New York is Renaud Barret’s doc System K (Artification Release), which looks at the city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the street artist performance scene that criticizes government corruption and the poverty that has struck the area.
The Sonata (Screen Media) stars Freya Tingley as a virtuoso violinist who inherits the mansion of her composer father (the late Rutger Hauer) after his sudden death, where she discovers a mysterious score with strange symbols that she tries to decipher with her agent and manager (Simon Abkarian).
This week’s Bollywood offering is Meghna Gulzar’s Chaapaak (FIP), starring Deepika Padukone as a woman attacked with acid in New Delhi in 2005 and how she survived it.

116: Reality TV: yeah it can be fun to watch but honestly what’s the point? Everyone’s own lives are hectic too

115: Parents: Some are great, some are bad. Some are controlling, some don’t care enough.

114: Back stabbers: I’ve dealt with many of you, but it’s your fault that you lost out on a great friend. Hated you guys for a while because I thought we were good friends, but I’m thankful toxic people like you are out of my life.

113: Ebay: is the shit. I got a crap ton of barbie clothes for my dolls when I was younger from there. Haven’t gone on there for a while tho

112: Facebook: the go-to app for when parents are around. That’s the only most censored app I have that I go on when they’re around

111: Work: wish I had one because all of my friends are making money, but once I get one I’ll wish I didn’t have a job so I can have more free time. It’s not like my parents will let me get a job anyways.

110: My Neighbors: Never really talk to any of my neighbors at my dads or my moms. Pretty sure they get annoyed with how loud I play my music

109: Gas Prices: i remember when it costed $5 or $6 a gallon. Please stay at $2.35 

108: Designer Clothes: hella cool but also hella expensive. Thankful for cute cheap stores because I’m about to be a broke college student

107: College: thankful for the opportunity to get a higher education, but it’s always super expensive. If more jobs require a degree, why can’t we just make it more efficient to get a degree with less money? But that’s also too much to ask for

106: Sports: I like watching it and playing it is also fun. 

105: My family: My parents divorced had me go through shit mentally and physically. (no they didn’t abuse me, their divorce was just difficult) I hope one day you two will stop acting like children and not beat down the other parent when we spend the night at your house. But I know it won’t ever end. I’m thankful my younger brothers won’t remember your divorce and they’re what keeps me going.
104: The future: I can’t wait to see what you hold. I can’t wait to go to college. I can’t wait to go into my career choice. I can’t wait to meet that special person. I can’t wait to start a family. I’m just excited for you
