Nick & June's Mixtape Vol. 5

Yep we’ve reached THAT part of our collective mix tapes where it’s time for the tears. Season 4 saw June’s homecoming and Nick’s attempt to “let her go”. Brace yourself people, even the Nick haters found 4 09 hard to take.

I should have run away with you when I had the chance

Oh boy the legendary 4 09, a moment in THT history that’s notorious for unleashing a tsunami of tears. Nick and June meet for the first time in months, at an isolated icy location, but as he steps from the shadows behind her and calls her name, her face visibly melts. Turning to face him, the sun literally breaks through the clouds.

A wide shot depicts the initial distance between them, but as always it’s quickly overcome and they gather inside, huddling together in a warm and glowing light with their child “like a real family”. Unfortunately, like all their moments of happiness, it’s tinged with the sorrow and heartache of their inevitable separation. June has come to ask Nick for some help in the unending quest to retrieve Hannah, and he’s already 10 steps ahead of her, having compiled a treasure trove of photographs and information about her daughter. “You did all this for me?” June seems stunned at Nick’s willingness to stick his neck out to help her, the ensuing look on his face speaks volumes.

If you ever have to wonder why Blaine might be willing to stick his neck in the noose for just one chance to bask in June’s literal glow, consider how cold and isolated Blaine must feel in Gilead without her. Regret pours out of Blaine “I should have run away with you when I had the chance”, but he’s deeply mistaken. Gilead and their own peaceful existence as a family cannot occur simultaneously; Nick and June are our figurative Romeo and Juliet, invented as the perfect construct to illustrate what can be lost or broken by these types of regimes, and exactly why it’s necessary to fight.

The window and the hazy golden light is a call back to S2 when Nick and June stood in Waterford’s kitchen, named their baby and dreamt of a life together. In both scenes Nick makes an affectionate quip about their daughter being like her mother, there’s an overwhelming sense of love for June as the mother of his child in these moments. This scene also contains one of the most beautiful kisses you’ll ever see on THT. Blaine pauses ever so briefly, scans her face, senses his inevitable cue and dives in. There’s a sense of uncontainable longing, passion and as they break away…..so much heartache. Gilead continuously rips these two away from one another, but the irony is had it never transpired neither would Nick and June and neither would Holly.

I’d managed to hold it together up until this point but it was the doll that finally did me in. As he danced it front of her and laughed for the first time EVER, my heart tore open like a cheap paper bag, and I swore I heard the sound of a thousand Osblaine’s hearts breaking all at once. The cruelty of Gilead feels truly visceral in this moment. As The Nature of Daylight, a composition about war tearing families apart, plays in the background, we saw a snippet of what their family could truly be….the actual price they pay every day.

Eric Tuchman gave audiences something very special with 4 09, he didn’t just write a beautiful reunion between two of our favorite characters, he drove a deep and painful point home. For every “Gilead” there are thousands and thousands of Nick and June’s; families all desperate to be reunited and finally hold their children once again.

Try to be happy

Following on from our last track, 4 09 gave us yet another classic. Sitting there bleary eyed from the buckets of tears I’d already shed, I wondered exactly how much more of the heartbreaking anguish we were expected to take? Then Nick went and upped the ante and told June to “Try and be happy” without him, and slipped THAT ring on his finger. I was so horrified, I could have set my television on fire. We had to wait until the next season to actually meet Rose, she seemed fairly innocuous, almost intentionally unthreatening.

“Would I like her?” asks June, well yes definitely, the woman had exactly zero chemistry with Blaine. Watching Nick and Rose together was like witnessing an arranged marriage in which the agreed parties were courteous and appropriately affectionate but never passionate. Nick seemed determined to be kinder to Rose than he had been to Eden, however the only evidence that anything other than a polite handshake had actually taken place was the baby in her belly. “Try to be happy” June echoes Nicks words back to him through her tears in Season 5, and it’s then for the first time since S1 that we see inside Blaine’s mind’s eye. It’s filled with the two of them alone, kissing, flooded in a blinding light.

The moment is slowed down to emphasize the depth of his desire and obsession. It’s a memory turned fantasy that tortures him constantly. The light is so bright it almost burns and as he silently hangs up the phone, we see him standing alone backlit, underscoring not only the vividness of his memory of June but also his solitariness. This was inserted to impress the intimacy of his pain at being separated from Osborne, and it mirrors perfectly June’s memory of kissing Luke in S1. As always these reflections are somewhat skewed, Here we see June cry as she feels the pain that Luke endured as he stood on that icy bridge in S3, and listened to her tape. There’s a difference here though; Nick doesn’t love Rose, and he never did.

Only Murders in the Building 4:6 Valley of the Dolls

Yeah this episode was filler but it was funny. The actors figured out what we all deduced is that the killer has been after them since season one. But! I don’t buy it being the Westies. Yes they took advantage of Dudenoff’s death to cash the checks and basically live in the West tower rent free. But that was their only crime. I’m sticking with my theory that Dudenoff was killed three years ago and the killer tried to stop the podcast to make sure they wouldn’t find out about Dudenoff. But Sazz wouldn’t let it go. And since they made two references to the script being full of plot holes I’m sticking to Marshall as suspect number one.

Meanwhile Melissa McCarthy was hilarious and really made me feel for her and Charles when they talked about their mom. Plus her fight with Loretta was funny as hell. And yay! She and Oliver are engaged!🥰🥰🥰

Hey friends please let me know if you are experiencing this. I have Hulu live TV so I was going to use that to watch 911 live. I navigated to ABC live and it literally says 911 is playing but all it’s showing me is a live weather report. Is this happening to anyone else? I’m missing the entire episode.

Nick & June's Mixtape Vol. 6

It’s officially our last Nick & June Mixtape until season 6, but never fear as we’re finishing up with some revenge, victory and a kiss fit for a fairytale. Osblaine’s would always love a bit more, but with a hated foe finally dead and a long awaited bargain struck for freedom, let’s not get greedy.

Thank you

Season 4 gave us some great Nick and June fodder and 4 10 was a banger. “What the Fuck is this?!” Fred stammers astonished as June unapologetically grabs a face full of Nick right in front of him. Honestly was Fred really THAT stupid? I mean he was conceited, self-obsessed, but not dumb AF. He HAD to know there was something going on between these two.

Perhaps as a narcissist, Fred had dismissed his suspicions throughout the seasons as pure impossibility, or Serena’s claims as manipulative lies. But I doubted it. There were simply too many clues that he flat out knew or at least suspected these two were at it when his back was turned. As we saw in S2 he promptly arranged a child bride for Nick, after the slightest insinuation from Serena that he’d been paying June a little too much attention.

Fred didn’t even flinch when Serena told him that Nick was the father of June’s baby, he just seemed surprised to learn that they hated him. Then there was the litany of digs he had at Nick throughout the seasons about June and Nicole. He knew, or at least was highly suspicious when Blaine rocked up in S3 Ep 6 to visit his girlfriend, and when Fred ended up in that pitch black forest alone with the two of them, he DEFINITELY knew he was fucked.

Fred had already been rightfully scared when Blaine marched him in and slapped him around, he’d even started begging when he first saw Osborn. But when he saw them kiss fearlessly in front of him, he knew for sure he was a dead man. The connection between these two had always been a closely guarded secret, it was one that they weren’t hiding from him anymore and Fred knew he was never leaving that forest with it alive.

This kiss turned Fred into the figurative hostage who’d seen his kidnappers face and could no longer be released lest he open his yap. This could potentially cost Nick his life, and as Fred could tell from June’s look of adoration, that was something she would simply never allow.

I wish the world would go just go away

In 5 09 we finally saw Tuello spill the beans to June; Nick could get immunity if he becomes his inside man. But somethings wrong, Nick’s said no. Lawrence has been alluding to the fact that he’s been grooming Nick, exactly what’s been going on in June’s absence? Here June got a rude awakening of what Nick has become under Lawrence’s influence. Separated from her for what we can assume is almost a year, he’s become the figurative fist Lawrence uses to squash dissent amongst the commanders, all for the purpose of his new found vision: New Bethlehem.

In Gilead, Blaine has been encouraged to settle in, and in his attempt to “stay out of trouble” he’s had to make some compromises. He’s had to get a wife, and in order to avoid a Handmaid, he’s had to impregnate her……it’s Gilead law. Regardless of her intimate understanding of the inner workings of Gilead’s strict conventions, as he tells her, June’s face crumbles with the heartbreaking loss of a distant dream. “I have to protect my family, same as you” he says, but underneath, Blaine appears abandoned and wounded that June now has a family he isn’t part of. To him Osborne is everything, a never ending obsessive love that constantly fills his waking mind, but for all he now knows, to her he is “nothing”. Unlike his marriage of convenience with Rose, Nick is vividly aware that a part of June has always loved Luke. In her freedom and her new life with Luke, Nick assumes he has become no more than a half forgotten memory….and he’s hurt.

He’s wrong. The reality is, June’s been trying to shoe horn herself back into a life that she no longer wants. Her disbelief that he wouldn’t grab the chance at being reunited with her and Holly for good, in part stems from her own desire. She’s been burning time without him. There’s a glimpse of the distance that time and Lawrence had created between them, but as they draw closer it melts away.

The entire sequence appears like a slide show, littered with camera angles, gestures and exchanges that echo their relationship like precious mementos. As the two of them are inextricably drawn to one another, the dappled sunlight, green trees and framing are all so reminiscent of the scene in S2 when the two young lovers dreamt of being a family together in Hawaii.

“I wish the world would just go away, just for a little bit” June says tears welling in her eyes. The tragedy of Nick and June has always lain in the sweet simplicity of “in an ideal world” and here it is once more; Romeo and Juliet are getting shafted by the entire world yet again. Blaine’s no dummy, he can clearly see the news of his new family has gutted Osborne and in clear, simple and absolute tones, he reassures her that he loves her. It’s a statement that resonates with a sense of timelessness. He did, he has, he will. Her face collapses with the heartbreaking futility of it. It’s no use, the powers that be will always conspire to keep them apart no matter how hard they try.

We now know from 5 10 that Blaine never let her go, so when he doesn’t kiss her here, it all makes perfect sense. June seemed almost crushed to have waited so long, come so close and then not touch him at last. I was reminded of the “ice scene” when Nick came within a breath of her, touching her hand for the first time, then leaving her startled and winded. Was this an ending or actually the suggestion of a new beginning? All the exchanges between these two in S5 are about their responsibilities and commitments and never their desires. It’s intentionally done to illustrate their unhappiness without one another despite their best efforts to the contrary.

In season 2, in a rare moment of vulnerability, Blaine had confessed; “I think about us…..I think about it all the time” “Well don’t” June replied “OK I’ll stop” he quipped, illustrating the ridiculous futility of it. Here Blaine echoes his own words about his daughter a sign that as we head towards the Testaments, the focus shifts to their children. “Children look to their fathers. Set an example” Osborne calls as he leaves; his choice of loyalties lies just beyond the threshold, and their attempt to bury their hearts will soon prove just as pointless as it always was.

I'm Nothing

5 10 was like a binge fest for the Osblaine’s. There was a kiss straight from a story book, moments of revelation, a good old fashioned throw down and a long awaited crossing. Nick’s walk across the bridge in that misty moonlight really was a memorable season 5 moment, his physical crossing indicated a complete changing of loyalties and a declaration of devotion; he would simply never let Osborne go. Hearing that June had been seriously wounded, Nick still draped in designer swag, hightailed it from Lawrence’s wedding, to June’s bedside.

Regret and sorrow oozes out of him as he watches her silently and in a purely Shakespearean moment he leans in to deliver her a kiss. In a nod to the death scene from Romeo and Juliet, June rouses before Nick notices. I suddenly became uneasy that his deal with Tuello may have sealed his fate, was it his metaphorical poison? Given references to Nick in the Testaments, I prayed that the writers weren’t going to take the liberty of erasing him. I hoped that it was merely a reflection of her kiss on the bridge in S4.

“Every love story is a tragedy if you wait long enough” Fred had lamented to June, he’d deceived and bound Serena, her potential achievements cut off mercilessly much like her finger. He’d rejected her attempts for affection, demanding sex be reserved for purely functional purposes whilst he pursued other physical attachments. Their relationship had rotted and sure enough he’d ended up on the slab, leaving Serena somewhat teary but mainly terrified. I’d always thought of Nick and June as the anti Waterfords. Nick had sacrificed and set her free, he’d loved her entirely and respected her autonomy; I prayed that this meant something more promising than a trip to the morgue for the young commander. Tuello was of course happy to deal, he’d needed someone to fill Fred’s place for some time; and Nick stepped up, as he had done in so many ways throughout the seasons. However, this moment, where Blaine at long last signed on for his eventual immunity on that dark misty bridge, seemed more loaded with foreboding than hope. Perhaps given the dark twisted skewing of these repetitions and reflections, it was Tuello who should have been concerned for his own safety. Gilead is coming and in encroaching regimes, he is just the type of gentle voice of truth, to be silenced first. As usual, Nick didn’t actually give a shit about his own self-preservation, when confronted with the reality of June’s demise. Presented with a contract he didn’t even pause to read the terms and conditions, he just signed it.

Like a puzzle box, Blaine had previously remained surreptitiously precise and infuriatingly elusive. But after the gift of a moment of privacy with Osborne, and the promise for her safety by Tuello, the box at last snapped open. By bringing him to June, Tuello had automatically ranked up to some sort of platinum level trust in Blaine’s eyes, and instead of trademark stoicism, Tuello was granted a rare moment of complete candor. He asked the question that so many of us had been DYING to know the answer to; Why hadn’t Nick run away with June when he had the chance? Blaine fixed Tuello with that trademark stare, precisely assessing all aspects of the man in front of him, and then after 5 seasons, we finally got our answer. Apart from “Everybody Breaks”, “I’m Nothing” was probably one of Blaine’s most memorable lines for all of the seasons. While each of these phrases are only two words, they both reveal a significant fragment of his carefully hidden core.

We were all Tuello in that moment on the bridge, stunned by Blaine’s confession. Tuello, the father figure Blaine had searched for so desperately, gently reassured him that he was wrong. Until now we had assumed that Blaine had remained in Gilead out of some sense of loyalty or because he was trapped. Not once had we considered that he hadn’t made a break for the border, because he thought he was nothing but an errand boy, who’s existence would not only be pointless, but an inconvenience in June’s life. “I don’t know anything about you, I don’t know who you are” June had remarked in Season 1, astonished at Blaine’s resolute obscuration. He had no history, untethered, he may as well have been nameless. In offering nothing of himself, he had given nothing to her, and she demanded more. Up until then, Nick’s sole purpose had been service and for the first time, someone wanted “to know him”.

Tuello had sensed that something persisted between the two despite her homecoming. They were still meeting in secret and trying to make deals for each-others safety. Nick’s presence in Canada would have undoubtedly signaled absolute disaster to any hopes of June rebuilding her marriage, yet in 5 09 she encouraged him to make a deal none the less. Her request was nothing short of utter marital sabotage for the both of them, and deep down she would have known it.

Tuello certainly knew, and he made his business to point it out to Blaine. At every bid for her freedom, Blaine had dissolved into the shadows, offering himself as the veritable sacrificial lamb to be eaten up by Gilead’s darkness. Service and sacrifice overshadowing all sense of value or desire. Consequently it all amounted to these two being so far, so very very fucked.

This time he covertly stole into her hospital room, bargained for her safety and snuck away ala classic Blaine…..only Tuello knew, but just you wait till June finds out. ....Bring on season 6.

THE BEAR SEASON 3 PREDICTIONS!

Only Murders in the Building 4:3 “Two for the Road” Spoiler Warning

Okay so the actors are back! And everyone gets paired up. Yet somehow none of them are as annoying as Amy Schumer’s drive by cameo in season 2. Even after Zack Galifianakis’s mean little rant to his agent. Good for you Howard for standing up for Oliver.

So Mabel and Eva Longoria discover Christmas Guy hates Christmas but is stuck having to keep up appearances because his Christmas themed Tik Tok went viral. First of all thank you Hatter (John Hoffman) for letting us see Kamal’s ABs. 👏👏👏 second why couldn’t this guy do other themed workout videos? Like Halloween or Easter? Or movie themed when it’s not a holiday? Who wants to watch a Christmas themed workout when it’s not Christmas? Guy doesn’t know how to Tik Tok. But thirdly the gun on the mantle is a Red Ryder Bb Gun knockoff and Christmas Guy has no motive for killing Charles. Yet fourthly he has a ham radio and is acting weird about it.

Eugene and Charles make a good team. Both plans are disasters in getting Stink Eye Joe to remove his eyepatch but they discover he too is just as socially awkward as Charles and he doesn’t hate him. But the picture in his Apartment features a group shot of the Westies with someone’s face rubbed out holding the pig. Now by the height and slim figure and the fact we can see a bit of white hair I think that’s Sazz. Was she Dudenoff?

Now while Oliver was too busy trying to impress Zack, he did peace together that the Perfect strangers theme was a call sign on the ham radio and 445 was a channel. The person on the other ends warns them that the last person who asked questions got killed (Sazz).

Now while this suggests the person on the radio was the killer, I think it sounded like Melissa McCarthy’s voice. And we know she’s playing Charles’s sister. So I have a theory. Sazz found out something fishy about the movie deal. Went to Charles sister for help. They discover someone is after Charles. Sazz recruits the Westies to help, employing ham radios to communicate. Even pooling their money to rent the studio apartment and take turns watching the East Tower. Because the killer is actually someone in the East tower? But when Sazz gets killed, the Westies freak out and cover up their investigation. We shall see Arconiacs.

Hii, what about Rebecca Welton x Black!wife!reader based off the song So My Darling (acoustic) by Rachel Chinouriri?

Remember I'll always love you

Rebecca Welton x black!wife!Reader

Warning:fluff, indecent language, kissing, anxiety,

A/n: after I finished writing I realized that I read your ask wrong, but I hope the story line still works for you:) hope you enjoy reading as I did with writing♡♡. I'll probably make a part 2 when I have spare time because this is so cute!

♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●

You knocked softly on the door, and Rebecca opened it, a confused but surprised expression was painted on her face. You smiled softly at her as she returned it.

She was dress in her usual attire. Black pencil cut skirt and a tint blue silk blouse with light pink fluffy house slippers. Her hair in a decent messy bun and light makeup. She looked heavenly.

"Y/n darling, your early" she said a bit nervously, your smile drop alittle thinking you may have came a little to early and maybe she hadn't finished preparing yet.

" Oh I hope that's OK, it's gonna rain soon so I thought I'd come early to beat the rush, you know how Manhatten is" you spoke chuckling slightly.

" ah yes no problem, at all" she spoke placing her hand on her hip, smiling.

It was starting to get awkward between the both of you.

" um can I come in now?" You asked, it was below a whisper but audible enough for her to hear. Your baby voice broke her from her trance.

" Yes of course" she said loudly as she moved for you to come in. As you entered her flat you were immediately hit with the most strong aroma.

Rebecca really went all out to make this first date special. She walked into the kitchen and you followed sitting on a beanch around the island.

" Your gonna have to give me a house tour babe" you said in hope to make small talk. Rebecca turned around surprised at the name you just called her.

" um yeah ok, um sure i- just" Rebecca stumbled on her words you could tell she was nervous. You got up and walked over to her, you smiled at her softly as you held both her hands in yours.

" becaa it's ok, step by step right?" She nodded as a small smile painted her lips.

"You ready to eat, I made Italian pasta, i didn't know what you liked so I tried my best" taking the pasta off the stove she placed it onto the counter.

You could tell she was nervous but you didn't want her to be. She was doing her absolute best.

" would you like wine?" She asked before she walked into the wine pantry.

" sure" you responded taking a look at her apartment again. It was truly beautiful, and it was definitely her aesthetic. Scented candles to her perfume, dim light, big window, grey curtains, it was giving old money vibes.

But most of all it was very Rebecca Welton vibes.

" how long have you lived here" you questioned when she brought back the wine and two wine glasses.

" not long probably a year and a half" she responded pouring the wine into the glass.

" becca" her name on your tongue was like music to her ears. She hummed in response and looked up at you. For a moment you swore the world stopped moving. And it was just the both of you. Her big green eyes staring into your eyes. You were stuck in a trance with her.

" Your doing enough becca, you just being with me in a cave is more than enough for a first date" you spoke as she giggled a little.

" see their's the becca I know, let your hair down" you said smiling from ear to ear, Rebecca sighed, almost like she was holding it in for an eternity.

You both sat down and had dinner. It was absolutely amazing. Great flavor, great seasonings, it was just perfect.

" did you like it?" She asked as she took both plates and proceeded to take them to the sink.

" yeah, you should open your own restaurant" you said and she began laughing like crazy.

" darling I had to watch 10 tiktoks and probably 15 YouTube videos to make that" she said as she started to turn red.

" atleast you tired" you said in between gigles.

" A for fucking effort" she commented. You both were dying of laughter. After you both caught your breaths you looked at eachother again.

" well it was still perfect" you said admiring her facial features. You both leaned in to kiss but you both pulled away.

" Well the night is still young darling, what do you wanna do" she asked drying her hands as she walked into her grand lounge area, you following like the little lost pup you were. Her flat was as big as any mansion.

You gasped as you saw the alluring porcelain and gold piano in the room, she turned around and followed your eye line seeing what made you react the way you did. A soft smile came across her face.

" ah yes, came with the apartment, I used it a couple times but" she stop as she looked at the piano deeply, if you didn't know better you would have thought she was admiring it but you did know better and she was looking at it as if it brought back memories.

" can you play" she asked snapping out of her trance, her gaze meeting yours. you looked down at the floor nervously.

" Oh come on it can't be that bad" she said a flint of sarcasm to it. You looked up to meet her eyes and glared at her.

" come here" she sat on the bench in front of the piano and tapped to spot next to her. You obliged and sat next to her.

" play what you know" she whispered. You sighed as you began to play ocean eyes instrumental, it wasn't perfect nor was it terrible but it could use some work.

" not bad" she said smiling as she began to play a song. You recognized it from the intro beat. It was 'so my darling'. One of your favorite songs.

She slowly began singing it while she was playing and you couldn't help but blush. Her green eyes shimmered in the dimly lit room, the candle on top of the piano was the only source of light.

As she ended the song she couldn't help but smile at you.

" that was perfect" you whispered as you leaned into her. Both your lips met and it was electric. It was soft and slow, so passionate. It felt as if there was no time in the world and you both can kiss forever. Soon it became rough as both your tongues dance like two lover's in the rain.

You both pulled away for air, bursting out laughing again.

" Your perfect" you said, laying your head on her shoulder.

" and darling your magical" she whispered kissing your temple. You soon fell asleep to her playing her song again.
