#god I'm obsessed with this film atm

[slothpower-central]

Rolling out the Red Carpet for the Cinema branch!!

Hello,hi, it's me that one person who makes the funny videos and thinks she can draw(she cannot) Inspiration hit me in the middle of my film studies course while watching Vertigo by Alfred Hitchcock and I thought "what if I made my own LCB branch where every sinner is based on a movie I've watched in my film class (and just general classic Hollywood cinema) and so I did it! The branch is currently VERY unfinished,as I add a new sinner each week for every film we watch in the class,so lemme introduce you to the guys that I've at least doodled so far(awful art incoming lol)

First up,we need a manager,or should I say,director(get it, because it's based on movies?) anyway here's Dorothy! If it wasn't obvious, she's based on the Wizard of Oz,She may or may not have come from the Outskirts and now she's running around with these sinners,and her little dog too! Oh and her red slippers(boots now,IG lol)? Those have a use, clicking her heels 3 times allows her to bring her sinners back to life!

Our guide is Glinda! Also based on Wizard of Oz,I have....not drawn her yet! But she is ultra hands off,she mainly communicates by sending Dorothy letters in bubbles,oh and did I mention she's a color fixer? ...yea I probably should have started with that

Now onto our actual sinners, don't ask me about major plot details about them,I haven't worked it out yet,

Sinner #1,This is Chaplin! Based on Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin,this guy is more of a fusion of the two main characters of the movie since uhm...neither of them have names and frankly their stories are both so intertwined that You could easily mix them together so here we are. They are the most comical of the sinners,I have described them as having a lot of cat like behaviors to a degree, and they are selectively mute(silent film lol) They have a white board they write on like it's Lethal Company and they have Heelys(mainly for the funny)

I haven't uhm.....finished sinner #2 yet because everytime I try to draw him my art style makes him look like the Pringles mascot lol but it's Kane! Kane is based on Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane by Orson Welles! Right now currently he's like "god I'm in a company of all women...AND CHAPLIN" He's rich like....richer than Hong Lu rich,he does seem to offhandedly mention something Rosebud and it seems almost like he's searching for it...wonder what that could be?(Btw go watch Citizen Kane, I'm not telling you what Rosebud is)

Finally out last Sinner at the moment: Sinner #3 Judy based on Judy from Vertigo! Yessir this is the reason for the branch, her source got my imagination spinning (she may or may not be mine and Amia's favorite atm of the branch) I would have made Scottie a sinner but......I hate his ass and need him exploded and not in the cute way(JUDYYYYYY YOU DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER GIRLLL) Judy is also 20x more fun as a character than Mr. "I'm gonna stare at women for 70% of my screentime" Honestly I could gush so much about her but I won't to keep this brief... essentially by the end of Vertigo Scottie convinces her to change everything about herself to turn her into his lost love/obsession Madeleine (ai know there's more too it but uhm....Go watch Vertigo, I'm not spoiling the movie)[PS, Ignore the doodle in the corner, that was from an idea that Amia's OC Tessie and Judy would get along well]

Tomorrow we'll actually have Sinner #4 who's gonna be based on someone from the movie Sunset Boulevard ( I don't pre watch these bc my attention span actually increases so much when I analyze movies for Limbus)

Anyway I'll keep updating you on the Cinema branch their tag is "LCB Cinema Branch" if you want everything in one place oh! And feel free to draw my lil guys if u want,just @ me or tag me or something. uhm don't ask about their weapons or colors or anything I haven't thought that far ahead yet lol

[spectres-fulcrum]

Now I have to jump from 1777 to ca. 333 BC cause apparently Netflix has an Alexander The Great half seriously acted/half docu series coming out Wednesday and Alexander the Great was my Thing sophomore year of high school(The trailer is EVERYTHING). They better do his relationship with Hephaestion right(queerly)

They were VERY in love and very obviously. Idk why it's a debate after anyone reads how Alexander reacted to Hephaestion's death(There's more but I can't remember atm)

We had an unit on ATG in World History and I wanted to google something in whatever documentary we were watching(I think it was Alexander and Hephaestion making an offering to Achilles and Patroclus) and it led me to finding out there was speculations Alex and Phai were queer and a thing and me just recently realizing I liked girls along with boys was really like. Obsessed.

That's me though. I find out things are queer and I get obsessed. I love non queer stuff too and get obsessed but. It's just like my new AmRev phase was ignited by the Hamilton-Laurens letters that are sus as fuck. Sus as fuck as I'm like yet to find a reasonable het explanation as to why Laurens was encouraging Hammie to find a wife as a cure for his devotion to Laurens.

Under the cut is more me unlocking more memories

Of course, I watched the 2004 Alexander, with Colin Farrell and Jared Leto. They are still my celebrity conspiracy theory of they fell in love during filming and had an on and off thing for a few years and it crashed and burned(That's a very very very long essay spanning several albums because Jared Leto is still clearly extremely fucked up by it see: Never Not Love You but also Love These Days). The Babylon balcony scene was gorgeous! And I loved the flashback to Aristotle teaching all the boys. And we at least got Princess Barsine-Stateira even if we didn't get the rest of the family. For books I think The Conqueror's Wife was my favorite as I loved writing from Drypetis' pov(Hephaestion's wife, Darius' daughter. I headcanoned Bagoas as her best friend though and they were all very poly and friends besides Roxana. I was probably too mean to Roxana looking back) and she was a narrator for that book. I remember reading it on a trip down to the German Christmas market. My teacher always splurged for coach buses so it was an extra nice bus ride read. That was senior year though, when it came out. I still had nook back then, not kindle.

I think our ATG unit coincided with state testing week which is part of why we watched a documentary because my history teacher knew we'd be frazzled and classes were all messed up with that week. not that it matters but it's also is like. Placing things.

Looking at the character list on IMDB(assuming it's legit) I'm like some of these people I need reminders but I'm also like Memnon! (There was an AlexPhai fic where Memnon kidnapped Phai and they grew fond of each other) Ptolemy! Queen Stateira! Hephaestion! And once I gave it some thought I was like X and Y were Phillip's generation and didn't Z kill Darius?

Yep. I need to do some review tomorrow though. God it's gonna feel good. Honestly the trailer was so exciting I was like Alexander! Phillip's death! Darius! Darius with Stateira! IS THAT SISYGAMBIS!?!?!?!?!? (IDK but I'm gonna freak if we get Sisygambis. What if we get precious little Ochus? Drypetis? Bagoas? Please at least give us the canon queer kiss with Bagoas)

[informaltorching]

[delusion-of-negation]

I loove it when folks say things like "you don't need positivity for masculinity/liking youthful skinny twinks/liking buff guys/so on because the whole world is positivity for that" like in what world dudes??? you think the whole world is like wow you like fucking twinks oh my god that's so cool you're not going to burn in hell?

there's not some like limited amount of queer positivity that we simply must reserve solely for the most in need groups, even if somebody was more accepted than somebody else, but that's a bloody big if in this case. nobody's coming to take your support, nobody's saying you don't need it. this is much like when I said I would like more support for terminally ill people, because the "it absolutely will get better!" mantra is unhelpful, and people say it depresses them to think about things not getting better so they simply can't have people like us "ruining" positivity for them. my ramble about it got mostly chronically ill people, so some began brushing terminally ill people under the rug or saying that same bullshit with a new coat of paint, like "but remember even if you cannot be cured some things will get better, don't give up!" but I subsequently get treated like the one hijacking things and being pessimistic, on my own post that I didn't even put in any tags. it literally just advocated for variety, so then we all had something. people took it as their own opportunity to soapbox about how it absolutely does get better just not how you expected uwu, and I eventually got told maybe I should view dying as better, so I can understand even I will get better, as if that's not fucking horrible response to someone saying "would be nice if I could hear good things sometimes idk", like chin up buddy dying is actually what better looks like for a sad sack of shit like you, hope this helps :).

addiction to infighting and viewing everything on oppressors vs oppressed logic means you treat suffering of others as territory disputes and confrontation and threats. I mean, ffs y'all are after mrbeast atm because he *checks notes* paid for surgery for like thousands of blind people who wanted it, I even saw claims he's refusing to pay for people who wouldn't be filmed which btw are absolutely pulled directly out of that person's asshole, you think goddamn mrbeast sat down to film thousands of people??? bro.

and it really is so similar to when people say physical disability is worse, mental health is worse, chronic is worse, x, y, z. it's fuckt. similarly like when I talked about epilepsy and compared it to an intolerance or allergy, which I have, but people assumed I don't, misread what I was saying, went on the attack. it's so tiresome. I literally was saying both are equally serious, and inflicting what triggers that in somebody is wrong and dangerous, people took colloquialisms as literal translations so badda bing badda boom, ableism against myself apparently. which means I'm oppressor, capable of maximum power, thus deserving of maximum cruel. exactly the same logic t3rfs use to send suicide bait asks to me. oppression olympics, I'm sorry but that's what it is. stop it. you'd honestly be more useful to queer people or disabled people as a completely silent onlooker than as an asshole claiming that your oppressor is a gay man with different tastes, dying people, or an otherwise vulnerable disabled person, or the guy paying for the surgery (who btw did also say the gov should be doing so, like ik apparently the narrative is he doesn't do that but yeah he does).

warped outlooks like these are spreading like wildfire, and you'd honestly be surprised how much they're even infesting irl space, including these weird obsessions with finding any way a person transgressed or sinned, ways you're more deserving of support, absolutely ridiculous leaps in logic and twisting of facts, it's just harmful. to people. you can talk all you want about politics, that community, what's best for the ends, but people are the reason literally any of that even matters to begin with. the rights of gay people aren't abstract, they're not for their own sake, they're not philosophical mental exercise, they are to protect queer people.

aromantic people don't get that the world just isn't pro-romance regarding ace, gay, trans, or poly romance, asexuals don't re sex absolutely not being accepted whenever it deviates, if you're an aromantic or gay or trans person, if you're kinky, etc, and then it doubly is an issue that gay/trans allo/allo people start asking we somehow prove being aro/ace is on par with other forms of this general genre of discrimination, as if being equally suffering has historically determined if people should care about each other. preemptively: look at the flags in my icon, I'm fucking aro. dude. however, I'm also gay af. I fuck men. I am criticising the fact you devour exclusionary rhetoric despite saying "exclusionists dni".

some criticise my lack of paragraphs and image descriptions as something adhd/visually impaired people need, but 1) I'm both, describing is hard for me, and 2) schizo, thought disorder, ocd, various issues make it near impossible for me often, just like you reading that, so just leave my posts alone, go elsewhere. variety. thoughts don't come clearly to me, it's a disjointed mess, and so ridiculous that people expect me to just "do better" and write for whatever way they find easier to read- that'd take literally hours. nothing here is "an excuse", this isn't word games, there's not an ulterior motive, get out of that mindset bro. people are like "your excuses don't make it okay not to accomodate my adhd" - idgaf. symptoms of yours don't mean I can overcome my symptoms. I shouldn't have to keep saying this but variety solves all of these. nowhere did I say allergies get respect/gay people have it worse compared to ace people/terminal people should be thought of literally every time you make a post/etc - I said be nice. bet that doesn't reflect whatever wild interpretations will fill these notes. wouldn't surprise me if somebody is saying I said there's not any cringe or toxic aro people, or that I'm erasing how exclusionists harmed ace people by equating some lame opinions with sheer incomprehensible levels of attack online (I never equated shit in these points, comparable and identical are just not synonyms).

something I think people need to learn is that just because your bullies have been calling you short, doesn't mean they don't call somebody else a tree or ask them how the weather is up there. I understand asexuals are mocked for not being sexual, despite it being the case that I'm mocked for being that; I'm mocked that thoughts naturally come in a disjointed spew, and I simply can't comprehend well enough to edit anything, but I understand you struggle to read that; I need posts that don't talk about better as synonymous with deserving, you need posts that have literally a complete lack of any indication things won't get better for you, I understand how your mind can spiral when you see such things. segmenting our communities further for ultra specficity isn't an answer though, that's isolating - really humans need each other. basically, liking twinks is not accepted just because fat guys are generally viewed as gross by society, so is any gay sex, that's all. whether you like either, we still all like dudes, we shouldn't split.

[hughiecampbelle]

hii ! how are you? just wanted to say that i absolutely love your works, they're just so so good and congrats on 8k !! And I was wondering if it would be ok to request for a ship and/or a ship aesthetic? hope you have a great day :)

My pronouns are she/her and i'm queer (still trying to figure the whole sexuality bit out).

I'm 5'4" ish so I wear a lot of platform mary-janes but still have a preference for my beat up white adidas. I have long brown hair with curtain bangs, and it's kind of in between curly and wavy. I have green eyes and have to wear glasses for long distance stuff or my computer. I can usually get really tan due to my latino heritage but I currently live in an extremely rainy country that has made me insanely pale. I also have freckles over the bridge of my nose and a kind of round face.

I love reading, writing, painting, watching movies/tv shows, editing and hiking.

I'm technically an extrovert but by nature I'm more of an ambivert, so I can get along with huge groups of people or just spend days on end watching movies alone in my house.

Generally my favorite genres of anything are sci-fi, horror, anything period piece but not with a huge amount of romance and crime/procedural.

My favorite music really depends on my mood at that moment: soundtrack, punk, 80s hits and kind of ethereal music are some of my top genres. Currently my favorite artists consist of FINNEAS, Weyes Blood, Ethel Cain, Kate Bush, Hole, The Police and Men I Trust.

My dream careers are either psychologist, something in business (but definitely not finance) or film (director or producer preferably).

I have a guilty pleasure of watching and reading anything business related any time I get bored. (hence the succession obsession)

My fashion sense kind of consists of suit trousers, button-downs (oversized preferably), long leather jackets, anything black lace or silk, platform shoes, flowy dresses and vintage stuff.

Aesthetic wise I really don't like to pin it down to just one thing but recently I've very much been into kind of grunge with a side of preppy. Some of my fav motifs (??) atm are runway clothes, red, orchids and film photos.

oh my god that's a lot sorry. procrastinating falling back into the depths of studying anyways love your acc and tysm.

Power Couple x Shiv Roy

Omg y'all would be so cute together!!!! Thank you do much my love, you're a gem!!!! I hope the studying is going okay!!! And I really hope you like your ship!!! Xoxoxo💜💜💜

[fakeshibe]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!! giving some recommendations back!! everything is like, online or computer based because i can't think of anything irl! Also! i tried to find things that are free, because everything costs money now and it sucks so free resources are always good :)

Does The Dog Die? (Totally free, donation optional) A crowdsourced database of content/trigger warnings for film, tv, books, comic and just general media and entertainment. It gives a yes/no for triggers as rated by users, and lets users add comments describing what exactly happens so that you can fully understand why it might be triggering. It covers a lot of stuff, from really common triggers like abuse, to more specific triggers like misrepresentation of autism or specific injuries (like i really hate teeth stuff, and this site gives me a heads-up of if anything happens, and how I'll know it's coming up). Everybody deserves to enjoy films, triggers and sensitivities shouldn't get in the way of that. https://www.doesthedogdie.com/

JustWatch (Totally free, Ad supported) A database of where films and television shows are available to stream/purchase online. It's also built into letterboxd, which i'm not gonna put on the list cause it's already fairly well known, but letterboxd is super useful for building watchlists and keeping track of what films you've seen!! Anyway, JustWatch will show you every location a film is streaming, if it's free, and you can change location to see if you can get it anywhere when you are definetly on holiday and not changing your location any other way :)

SIGNALIS (Normally £16, £11 in steam winter sale) Play signalist please oh my god. An incredible survival horror with PSX visuals and gameplay inspired by Silent Hill and Resident Evil. It has a genuinely touching and devestating story about love and loss, and visuals inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion (Especially the last 2 episodes), Ghost in the Shell and every other good sci-fi anime to exist. It's got the depressing hopelessness of Evangelion plus the Exestential horror of lovecraft and a dash of doomed lesbian robot angst to top it all off. (And just a tip, the end is not always the end. Even when it really, really feels like it is)

This specific SilvaGunner rip (Totally free)It's a mash-up of Everything is Going to be Okay from Prey (2017) and Fresh Static Snow by Porter Robinson and when you listen to it it really does feel like everything is going to be okay.

Prey (2017) (Normally £25, currently £2.50) I talk about Dishonored a lot but I'm just as obsessed with Prey. It's just that posting almost anything about Prey is spoiling Prey, and I think it's better to go in blind. I love that game with my whole heart. I could say so much about this game but I don't wanna spoil it so I'll leave it at that.

In fact fuck it, every Arkane game (Normally £200+, currently £33) they're all on sale on steam till Jan 4th. You can buy almost every arkane game ever made in a bundle for less than £10 atm. Dishonored and all it's DLC, Dishonored 2, Prey, Dishonored: Death of the outsider, Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah are in the Arkane 20th Anniversary collection which is currently £8.26. Deathloop is £10 and Redfall is £15. You can buy every Arkane game for £33 at the moment which is genuinely ridiculous. It'd normally be like £200!!! if you've been thinking about trying any of them, now is the time!! :)

Dither Me This (Totally free, donation optional) This website just dithers images for you, which makes them look really cool and also means they take up far less space. So if you wanna run an old tech style blog, you can make all your images look the same way they'd be displayed on an Apple II computer or a commodore 64. v cool little site! https://doodad.dev/dither-me-this/

MyNoise (Totally free, donation optional) You wanna generate noise? this website is for you! what type of noise? well there's the usual rain, white noise, oceans, brown noise, distant thunder stuff. But also! Cafe noise, forest noise, dungeon noise, tavern noise, oblivion?, spooky ghost singing??, exam hall noises??? literally any soundscape you can think of, bam there's something for it on there. And best of all? it's customisable! here are sliders to change the elements each soundscape is made of. So if your dungeon is a little too much water dripping and not enough clanking chains, well you can just move those sliders till you're happy with it, for literally every pre-set soundscape on the site. None of the pre-sets match what you're looking for? well, make your own! you can copy the sliders from other soundscapes and add them to your own composite soundscape to create a new soundscape. It's a little complicated and can only be done on desktop, not their app, but it's great!! Does your medieval tavern need more whimsical siren song, sorted. Your peaceful beach needs some bird song? easy. It's really great. Some stuff is paywalled, but honestly in my entire time using the site I've never been blocked from anything, it's only things like guided meditation and downloads that are blocked. If I used it more often I'd absolutely donate to their Patreon tbh. You can't use these soundscapes in creative stuff without permission because copyright and human decency obv, but they're excellent for writing/reading atmosphere or for ttrpg stuff!! and if you're a patron you can get them to send you an mp3 version of any soundscape, including your custom ones :)

merry christmas and happy holidays again!! I hope some of this is useful or interesting :) honoured to be part of your tradition this year!! I said in the comments already but there's definitely stuff in there that I'm gonna find super interesting!! especially the doc and the comic, they definitely seem like my thing :D

No obligation to also add things, but there's a couple things I think you guys would find useful/interesting in both posts so I'm tagging you!! @adammonoscore the sound generator especially might be useful for ttrpg stuff, @brittleboneless and @sevententv the £200 of games for £30 might be of interest to you, @exoticotter @hamtv12 and @crunchysaladx the dithering tool and art doc might be of interest to you!! (i haven't watched it yet though so i can't say exactly why other than it's art) also!! @idkhbutillendupranting i’m tagging you because i think you’d find a couple of things interesting, the yo ho ho suggestions, gaming and just general holiday vibes i wanted to tag you for

i wanna hear your recommendations!

a list with some stuff i like + a request for you to share yours :)

as a godless queer who spawned on earth randomly one time, my only holiday-season tradition is charity + passionately enjoying things. in lieu of passing my followers & mutuals $100 cash, have a random variety of things you might like to try - i know we're an international bunch so your mileage may vary on what you can access. in the spirit of giving i am hoping for some recs 🎁♥

disclaimer these are just things i like i am not paid. would be great. but.

yo ho ho if you read comics & manga but always found it to be a pain in the ass to source online, here's the aggregator app of your dreams: tachiyomiJ2K. real. not clickbait. android only tho. the extensions mangacute, mangadex, allanime, and mangareader, are good places to start. as a creator, i'm always iffy about recommending this kind of thing because i'd much prefer you went out and brought the things you're reading, however i'm not under any illusions about which era we're in, media-wise and economy-wise

gemma! - webcomic what if corvo was a woman and young emily was a dragon and they went on adventures in a fun fantasy/adventure way that is Extremely Gender. pictured: gender. god i want to be her > is this the greatest webcomic of all time? no. is it that sweet spot between 'mindless fun' and 'good'? yes. you get me

laksa noodles the more intl friends i have the more i realise that laksa isn't common everywhere. don't let that stop you from trying it. ultimate comfort food. hearty noodly soupy goodness. worth seeking out fr

ways of seeing - mini-documentary so profoundly changed the way i think that i had been wanting to revisit it and so was delighted to find its all on youtube. if you're an artist or want to improve your ability to critically think about what you're seeing in media, this is a must-see. link or embedded>

FUCKING GOOD AND CHEAP GREEN TEA price comment won't apply to everyone this site offers great prices for high quality tea direct from the farm. been buying from here for years and its always amazing - i love the houjicha/roast green tea, and if you like green tea but always wish it was stronger without sacrificing taste or becoming bitter, i recommend genmaicha matcha-iri, which uses matcha to intensify the flavour. yum

incense body powder being a perfume nerd who is prone to migraines sucks. if you like spices and good incense - not the $2 kind that you use to hide cigs from your parents but rather the kind that smells like wandering into a forest temple - you'll love incense body powder. it lasts well and i'd most compare it to a softer, more gourmand comme des garçons Incense series 3 kyoto. shoyeido is the easiest to source as far as i can tell, but other brands make it too. USD$11 - cheaper than even cheap perfumes tbh - the bag will last you years. if you try this please tell me i'd love to know what you think!

anyway!! i wanna hear your recs if you have any! can be any type of thing that has recently improved your mood or changed your life or you think someone else might like?

anyone reading can go for it, consider this a carte blanche for recommendations. gonna tag a few people - you don't have to of course thank you love you <;3 @lapinneok @dangerousdan-dan @arosebyothernames @headcrabrave @corvidad @neznoodles @retired-crow @corpseprince @i-really-hate-creating-usernames @geminison @fakeshibe @skemford @loveofdetail + please feel welcome if not tagged! edit OH @nekon-ron i tried to tag your old URL. ha

[starryevermore]

Omg hey how are you doing? ❤️ I haven't been on here in ages. I miss the time around end 2019-maybe June 2020 because that was my prime time in the fandom. I wasn't a huge fan of the 25x25 project so I kinda lost interest in SnC and their friends (idk if they're even friends anymore nobody interacts with them from what I've seen). I took a break from this blog but now that they're back with the ghost stuff I'm interested again. I'm so glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey, the girls bring such a great atmosphere to their content and they matured so much I very much appreciate it. I don't really keep up with everyone else I occasionally see a tiktok of Aryia on my fyp doing covers or promoting his song but otherwise I'm out of the loop. It's kinda sad how everything fell apart 😭💔

I'm currently debating of changing my blog here because even tho I like SnC it's not my prime interest atm. The thing for me I go through so many phases I feel like I can't be a blog soley for one thing. Like I was into Criminal Minds for months until the end of May. Now I'm obsessed with an Italian rock band called Måneskin, thanks to Eurovision (I highly suggest for everyone to check them out they're amazing 😭❤️ I even started to learn Italian lmaoo) So who knows what I'm into in the next months, I know I will lose my mind when the new Stranger Things season comes out later. I don't really know what I should do with this blog maybe I'll start out fresh.

Anyway I just wanted to check in bc I saw the threads from yesterday. I miss you guys, its such a shame that basically everyone left here 😭

Hey!! I'm good, how are you? God, I feel that "prime time" so bad. I didn't join until April 2020 I believe, but my prime was definitely like May through July/August. Personally, I enjoyed 25x25 when it first started but as they kind of moved away from what the point of the series was (like about the time they went to Vegas), I got less interested. But I'm really into the paranormal stuff they're doing again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until they brought it back. I'm also glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey. I feel like if they had done that, it would've just been the same stale content that they were giving back in late 2019/early 2020. At first I was a bit hesitant about the girls since I know Kat always got easily freaked out during Sam's rituals (which is understandable! I'd do the same!) but I was worried it would be another Jake and Corey 2.0 kind of thing but just with her and Stas. But they've surprised me with how calm they've been, and I really enjoy them being in the videos. And oh my god I feel that. I'm constantly torn between wanting the "good old days" of when everyone was together, but I just keep reminding myself that the last couple of videos we got with most of the friend group together just didn't do it for me. Better to enjoy the past than to have a bad present, or something.

And you should def bring in some of your other interests! Lowkey, I would've abandoned this blog if I didn't start posting about the mcu/seb/chris. Remember, this is your safe space and you can do whatever you want with it! Honestly, the best thing you can do is just go multifandom. That way when you cycle through interests, you can just say "hey, I mean, this blog isn't dedicated to one thing anymore, and I can do whatever I want with it". And you'll be surprised by how many of your followers are also into your other interests! Like, I knew the MCU was a big fandom, but I was still shocked at how many of my mutuals were also into the same things as me. And I know of at least a couple who are into Stranger Things/Måneskin/Criminal Minds. And you'll get new followers too from those fandoms who are into those things! So go ahead and start posting for them! And, just speaking for myself, even if I'm not always into the same things as you, I still love seeing you on my dash!

Lmao, lowkey felt bad spamming with all of my bottled up feelings, but yesterday was just a big day for me finally opening up about things irl and I had to get some things off my chest over here too 😂 And I know, there are so many people who have left or just aren't as active anymore (and that's fine! they have their reasons!), but I also miss the way things used to be. Honestly, idk if I'll get to that level of connectedness that we were all at in 2020 again, even in my newer fandoms cause I just get scared I'll get attached and then they'll leave and I'll have to start all over again 😭

ok but an all Canadian film starring Rachel McAdams, Annie Murphy, Ellen Page and Emily Hampshire - (excuse me I'm not Canadian so correct me if my geography is wrong, I'm terrible at geography btw - side not I will write that patrick x david fic, just so busy atm), so you know how Annie was going on about how she imagines Alexis to be the kind of person who would be a writer in one of those heavy knit sweaters off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador? Well Annie plays a writer that 1/?

lives off there, and she is in a relationship with RM - idk maybe they meet cute, and the same thing happens to Ellen Page and Emily Hampshire characters. Think the same atmosphere as Lars and the real girl/God's Own Country. Perhaps it's a holiday movie (think Home For The Holidays if you haven't seen it?) set in early 2000s. EP and EH kind of travel and then like love actually it kind of ties up them together. Dan Levy can write it, I trust him with the direction I want to take. 2/?

I don't really have a specific direction, I just know the atmosphere, and it's probably also because I like all four actresses, it's a comedy ofc, no angst, the only angst there is is that where it's shown in typical straight rom coms. I feel like they'd all have amazing chemistry together, particularly Annie, Ellen and Emily, Rachel is probably also got great chemistry, it's just that I know Emily and Annie have great exhmistry and Emily follows Ellen on instagram so there must be some 3/?

sort of chemistry there you know? Anyway they're all amazing so there's that. I doubt this will happen, but I still think there is a possibility that Annie and Emily will work together in the future or Ellen and Emily. 4/4

I also think we should add Tatiana Maslaney if they don't cast Rachel McAdams because she is just as good, but if they added her with RM I'd still be just as happy :)

holy SHIT i am obsessed with this!!!! you have a gold idea here and it sounds like the gay romcom we all need. on a side note.. did happiest season hurt you with the angst? this can be a fix it lol

i would watch anything with any of these actors in it honestly and you have fleshed it out babeeyY! also i don’t know if you’ve ever read this SC fisherman AU by @al-ex-an-d-er-hamiltons but those are the total vibes i am getting from what you said. 

Also props on casting literally the best canadian actresses that exist honestly!!

I haven't mentioned it to anyone, not even my close friends. But I unintentionally started my journey on the path to self love and acceptance this year.

I had no idea I would EVER come to this bridge in my life, I figured I'd always hate myself. But here I am.

I started by allowing myself time to enjoy things I love, watching playthroughs of Resident Evil Village was the beginning. That game comforts me in ways I don't think I could ever describe.

Resident Evil 7 is a close second.

Then Twenty One Pilots released Scaled and Icy. I was already obsessed when I saw the color scheme (VERY close to the Pansexual flag colors, and I am pansexual) I LOVED Shy Away when it came out and I felt Choker to my core.

I'm going through a lot of personal stuff atm in my romantic life. Being distanced due to Covid is the worst, especially when your partner is allergic to EVERYTHING. I feel like I'll never see her again. It's been four years.

I'm helping raise my baby sister and have been since she came home from the hospital. She's almost four now and loves Frozen and Disney princesses. So, I decided we should give Frozen 2 a chance.

I don't care if people hated it, but Frozen 2 is WAY better than the original! I cried so much over the course of that film.

Ultimately, Elsa learning she was the one she'd been waiting for got to me the most.

I don't know why, it just resonates to me so deeply. It's like something clicked in my head and now I need to respect myself and learn to love myself. I'm deserving of love now when I didn't think I was before.

And when Lil Nas X released 'Montero'

Oh god.

That's when I KNEW this year is about self love. I have to better myself FOR myself. Because at the end of the day, I'm the one who's stuck with me. I'm always going to be in this body and this mind and so I should start to try and make it a nice place to live.

So, I will focus on my talents and practice them and try to be recognized in this world. If they aren't enough, then I'll find my purpose someday.

Until then, I'm here and I'm me. And that's all I need to be.

Summary:Samuel Drake and you were married for over ten years and lived in Riverdale. Youtwo were having a wonderful time with even a baby boy to welcome to the world.Everything seemed all right, until that moment you got stressed out as a motherand wanted some freedom. That’s when you got feelings for a colleague at work.You held up the affair for over a month, when Sam got suspicious and eventuallyfound out about it. You two decided it was better to split and to leave him and yourchild in Riverdale, where he would have a decent childhood.A few years later you get a surprising invitation to your kid’s 13th birthday. DoesSam know?

A/N: Oh hello! It’s me again! To be honest; I had so much fun writing this story. Ilove Riverdale and it’s many wicked characters and my love for Sam Drake is stillgoing. I thought this was going to be a one shot, but instead I’ll split it into a part1 and 2. I hope you guys like it! I’m very nervous about posting it! So thanks to the one who requested this story and I hope you enjoy it!

New year, new me.

That’s what you always tell yourself when another year full of memoriesends, right? For you, it was at the end of the summer break when you decided itwas time to go back where you started.

Okay, it wasn’t just because you saw the light somehow. Your accountantjob in Seattle was getting worse by the week and when you figured out your bosswas never going to give you that promotion unless you flirted the hell out of him,you packed your stuff and left. Romance wasn’t a great thing either. Your affairdidn’t last long in the end and you got dumped for a girl with more money. Afterthat you had some relationships here and there, but nothing felt like a certainperson you left behind. With your kid for god’s sake!

And now you were standing here, in front of your old house. On the day ofyour son’s 13th birthday party which he invited you for in secret. First youthought it was a joke, but when you saw the curly and sloppy handwriting, youknew Sam couldn’t have written it.

Eventually you got the courage to buy a present and a birthday card. Youpacked your bags and here you were. And you had no idea if Sam knew you werecoming. Cass’s message didn’t say.

Your old home still looked the same and you felt tears prickling in youreyes. The many memories you two had had been playing like a film in your head.You slowly walked to the sidewalk and got to the conclusion that you had no idea if Sam knew you were coming. You started to panic slightly and stoodstill in front of the porch. What if this was all wrong?

Your thoughts were interrupted by the front door that opened. Standingin front of you was Cass. He had grown the last time you have seen him. He had acolorful party hat on his head and was dressed in a nice looking white shirt withjeans. He slowly walked towards you, his facial expression calm, but surprised.

“Wow,” he said. “I didn’t think you would actually show up.”

You just stood there and smiled a little. “Well, at least your mother cansurprise you now and then,” you said.

With no emotion he put his arms around your waist and his head againstyour chest. You were caught off guard and bend a little to your knees to put hisbirthday present and your purse down.

“Cass,” you whispered and carefully put your hands on his shoulders.

“I’m so glad you’re here mom,” he said, muffled through your red/whitepolka dot dress. “I really am. Even because you did something very stupid.”

You smiled warmly and looked him in the eyes.

“That’s a very mature answer from someone who just turned thirteen,”you said.

Cass’s smile got brighter, but changed it to a straight line when he sawyour worried look on your face.

“Cass,” you started and put your fingers on his cheek. “Does daddy knowI’m here?”

He avoided eye contact and looked down. You frowned and eventuallystood up. That caught his attention back to you and he grabbed your hand.

“Mom, please,” he said. “I just… I know you did a bad thing, but-““Cass? Dear, are you outside?”An unfamiliar voice called from the inside of the house. You felt the grip on your hand tighten. The clicking of heels sounded and the front door openedagain. A brown haired lady, dressed in dark purple came outside. When she sawyou and Cass she raised her eyebrows. Her eyes looked especially at the handsyou two were holding.

“Who’s this then Cass?” she asked.Damn. Her voice was pretty. A little too pretty if you asked me.“M-mom,” he stuttered. “This is Hermione Lodge. Hermione, Y/N.”You looked at her. She smiled at you when she noticed the title you had been given and walked towards you. She reached out with her manicured hand. 

“It’s a pleasure meeting you Y/N,” she said. 

Then she spotted your birthday present for Cass.

“Oh my! She bought you something! Isn’t that lovely?”

Cass nodded and picked it up. “I’m going to open it inside, okay?” heasked.

“Of course dear!” she said. That was his cue to run. You wanted to go afterhim, but Hermione stopped you.

“Listen darling,” she said. “I know your history, everybody knows.”

You closed your eyes with a sigh. God damn it, even the newbies know.Why did you come back to Riverdale again?

“So what’s it to you?” you asked. “Haven’t seen your face before by theway.”

She chuckled. “Oh sweetie, I moved here from New York a few months ago.”

You thought she was joking…

“And I’m sorry to let you know, but your ex-husband moved on.” “With you, I presume?”“Oh! There are some brains in that head of yours! How lovely.” 

Your blood was boiling, but you kept it at a straight pace.

“Anyway,” she said and turned around. “Maybe it’s better if you wentback to the place you came from. Sam is probably not amused if he finds you here.”

She was very rude, but she was right. Cass his reaction to the million-dollar question was awfully clear that Sam did not know about your comeback.Still, you did not want to get kicked out. Maybe it was time to just come clean.

“And maybe it’s time to just be here for my child Hermione,” you said.“After all, he was the one who invited me. And I suspect you have children ofyour own?”

Hermione nodded strangely.

“Then you should know the feeling when you just want to spend timewith your loved ones. Am I correct?”

You patted her on the shoulder, gently pushed her out of the way andwalked inside.

That felt awfully good! Your confidence grew by the minute, until youwalked into a living room full of people you knew. A few of them immediatelystopped talking to look at you.

“I’ll be damned,” Fred Andrews said. “Y/N is back in town.” He cheered hisbeer up at you, but with no response from the rest of the party guests.

Now everyone had his attention on you, including Cass who was sitting onthe couch with your present half opened. He looked worried, but also a little bitproud. You smiled and waved a little.

“Hey everyone,” you said. “I guess the cat’s out of the bag. I’m back.”

You got a few suspected looks, until they turned around when the door tothe backyard opened. Sam stepped inside with a birthday cake and lit up candles.He started singing the happy birthday song. Everybody slowly joined in. It hadbeen a long time since you heard his voice. It still sounded pure and beautiful.

Behind you you heard Hermione’s pretty voice again, singing the last fewwords of the song and joined Sam. Cass’s face was priceless, but before he blewout his candles he hesitated.

“What’s wrong big guy?” Sam asked. “You don’t know what you wannawish for?”

Cass looked at the cake, the candles and then suddenly at your face. Youfroze.

Shit. SHIT! NO!

Sam followed his direction and when he met your eyes he was shocked.The whole room was on edge you could feel it. You grabbed the handles of yourpurse tighter and finally made eye contact.

“Hi,” you said. “Surprise.”

Sam didn’t respond. Instead Hermione slipped her arm around his andwhispered something in his ear. You frowned at the interaction, but didn’t wantto make a scene.

“It’s okay Dad,” Cass said, finally putting everyone at ease. “She’s on thelist.”

You chuckled lightly. Cass blew out the candles and everybody clapped.Sam’s rhythm was a little off, but you understood why. You tried to ignore Sam’sburning eyes and sat down next to Cass on the couch.

“Well?” you said. “Aren’t you going to open your present?”

He smiled and took the pretty and colorful box back on his lap. Hermionewas slowly cutting the cake in pieces and while giving everybody a piece; you felther eyes not leaving your sight. Cass ripped the paper off the box and opened it.His eyes lit up when he grabbed a camouflage colored fidget spinner out of thebox.

“Mom, this is amazing!” he said.

“That’s not even the best part,” you said and with your finger you tappedthe middle. Little green lights appeared around the three circles while Cass wasspinning it around. He laughed and gave you a big hug. You grabbed his waistwith your hands and put your chin on his shoulders.

“What did you get bud?”

You moved your head towards Sam who was standing awkwardly in frontof the coffee table. Your face stayed natural, but from the inside you felt like youwere going to explode. Cass turned the spinner around and stood up to show it tohis dad. Sam was amazed by the colors and they were distracted. You steppedaway from the couch and walked to the kitchen to get a drink.

The kitchen was surprisingly empty. You spotted a bottle of red wine onthe counter next to the left over cake Hermione put there. You opened thecabinet were the wine glasses were supposed to be. They were still there, shiningand pretty. You opened the bottle and got yourself a drink.

“Wow, I can’t believe you,” a voice said behind you.

You gasped and turned around quickly. Sam was looking at you with anatural, but amusing look on his face. His hands were in the pockets of his jeansand you saw his muscles underneath his shirt. He was still good looking, couldn’targue with that.

“Can’t believe what?” you asked with a little tremble in your voice. “ThatI’m here?”

“Well, now I know why Cass wanted to mail the invitations himself. Sothat’s a mystery solved.”

You chuckled, but didn’t leave his eyes.“No, the facts that you still know were to find the booze.”“Oh, it was on the kitchen counter. I just thought that it was for the guests.”“Y/N.”

He took a step forward.“Remember that you don’t live here anymore?”

You sighed and looked at the floor.

“I know Sam,” you said. “I know. It just feels so good being back here and Ijust went on with the flow.”

He nodded and while he talked he grabbed himself a beer from the fridge.“You met Hermione?”You nodded. “She seems nice.”“Yeah.”

Silence. You two stood across from each other; hanging against thecounter. You both took a sip of your drink and didn’t know where to look. Yourempty hand was on the marble, feeling the smoothness of it.

“Sam-“ you started.

“What’s the real reason why you’re here, Y/N?” Sam asked andinterrupted you. His face was serious this time. You knew you had to come clean.

“I just wanted to see my son-“

“Right, your son. Y/N, you haven’t had contact with YOUR son in years.This is bullshit.”

“It’s not bullshit!”

“Oh really? No phone calls, no text messages. I left you one a few yearsago. You probably never opened it!”

“God damn it Sam, let me finish-“

“You were the one who left us! Remember?! With that stupid modellooking fellah from your job. How is he by the way?!”

“He left me, okay? The moment we moved out of Riverdale, he met somerich bimbo and knew he couldn’t have a future with a sloppy accountant.”

He wanted to say something else, but he quickly withdrew. Instead helooked out the kitchen window into the backyard.

“So,” he whispered. “How did that feel, huh?”“What?” you said. “How what felt-““THE PAIN Y/N!”He moved away from the counter and used his arms a lot to express his feelings.

“The pain when I figured out you were having an affair with someone else. Did you realize that I had no idea why you would do something like that? To yourfamily?”

You closed your eyes for a second. Of course you remembered the feeling.“At least Hermione has some sense in her,” he said.Your eyes quickly opened again and you looked him in the eye. Sam sighed and figured what question came next.

“Yes Y/N. She was there when I needed someone the most.”He looked down.“When I needed you the most.”You now also stepped away from the counter.“Would you believe me if I said that there are two reasons why I’m back here in Riverdale?” you asked.He nodded slightly.

“Cass is the first one obviously. But the second-“

You slowly got closer to Sam. You saw his hands flinch a little, but nothingelse happened.

“I miss you Samuel Drake.”

You two were just a few inches apart and you tried to look him in theeyes. He avoided your search.

“I miss the time we spent together. The time when I helped you figure outthat puzzle for your brother. The time when we met at Pop’s Diner where I wasgetting take out for the first time in my whole life.”

“And you were so lost,” Sam said. He chuckled even which you respondedto the same.

“All I’m asking is that you forgive me for my sins Sam. You know how thatfeels like, right?”

In a flash his eyes met yours. It was like he was reminded by something inthe past. You were an inch away from touching his skin. You saw the many tinyscars on his face and the glow in his eyes. You two got closer and you were readyfor a kiss until Sam cut it off, abruptly.

“I can’t do this Y/N,” he said while walking away from you. “I can’t do thisto Hermione.”

You sighed. “I understand, I’m sorry.”“It’s okay.”Suddenly you heard the ringing of a mobile phone coming from the corner of the kitchen. You two looked at each other confused, but out of curiosity youchecked it out. Warnings of Sam aside you found the source. It was coming froma very expensive looking purse. It had Hermione’s name on it.

“It’s your wife’s,” you said.“Well, technically she’s not my-“You raised an eyebrow at him.“Forget it,” he said. “Anyway, I should probably get her. She expected a phone call after all.”“Okay, I’ll stay here and get a refill.”

Sam chuckled when he spotted your empty wine class.“Don’t go too crazy tiger.”He walked out of the room. There was no way you weren’t going to check out miss Mary Sue’s purse. You zipped it open and found the phone immediatelyon the top of her stuff. The screen showed a missed call and three messages.

Did you get it?Hermione, I’m waiting.This is taking too long. Did you get the artifact from Samuel Drake?
