so i was definitely expecting too much from a tv show from the 90s (honestly, it'd be a lot to expect from a tv show today) but i will die mad about them doing zev dirty like that. of COURSE she had to be magically transformed into a conventional megahottie. but god, this fuckin sucks. the first actress was good! she had charisma! she grabbed my attention in a way none of the other characters did! i would (figurative language, hyperbole) kill to see her get to star as a kick-ass female sci-fi character! we could have had it all!!!!
but no. god fucking forbid we get a female protagonist who isn't skinny and smooth-skinned and button-nosed. we can't fucking have nice things.
#lexx#misogyny#fatphobia#yes i was stupid for hoping i know. but god do you know how exciting it was to see a fat woman with Main Character Energy onscreen?#and at first i thought they'd kill her off for that. and then when it looked like she was going to survive i dared to hope. i really did.#but i guess we can't fucking have nice things!!!!#(no shade to the second actress she's also fine. i guess.)#sure sure it's cool that she's part lizard now or whatever but why'd you have to replace her body (we know why)#i just feel so bad for the first actress. the TALENT. the FIRE she put into that.#for 10 minutes of screentime because they don't want this character to look like you.#i want to rip tear rend et cetera

the cullens with reader who is a VERY popular movie star, but only plays in horror movies as the killer (and she makes them watch her movies)?
The Cullens with a Horror Movie Actor
Thank you for requesting!
In your request you mentioned āsheā but I hope you donāt mind that I changed it to be more gender neutral
Anyways I hope you enjoy!
Edward:
He thinks it's pretty sick tbh
I feel like he might have wanted to be an actor at one point
So seeing you living out your dreams is huge for him
You wouldn't need to force him to sit down to watch your movies
However I feel like he'd get a little in his own head about you being a killer
If you're still human he'd probably start that line of thinking where if he turned you you'd become a real-life killer, how your characters are just fake people but that's like the real him, blah blah
Just cut him off with a big 'ol smooch
Alice:
Again, very supportive
She'd make a whole day of it every time one of your movies releases
Of course, you would need to bring her as your plus one to the premier
She might give you pointers tho tbh
Even though they're not really for you
"Blood doesn't actually spurt like that, it's more of a stream"
As if you control the sfx
Either way she loves it
Thinks you are the most talented actor/actress ever
She would buy posters of your movies and frame them
Jasper:
He gets a little freaked out tbh
First of all, don't go to the theater with him
All of the people getting scared at the same time in such a concentrated group absolutely fires his brain
The sight of human blood (fake or real, on the screen or not) triggers him juuust a little
He also gets a little put off if your character seems to really enjoy the horror they cause
It reminds him of the way newborns love to hunt and kill
He's gonna need some one-on-one time with the real you after watching the movie
Just to remind him how you really are
Don't worry, it's not that he doesn't like what you do or that he doesn't like the movies
It's just the fact that it unsettles him a little thinking about what you could be if he ever turned you
He will watch them though
Rosalie:
She thinks it's badass
Hands down she loves it
I mean she went around killing and torturing her abuser in a wedding dress
That is so horror movie material
And even though that isn't her anymore, I feel like she'd love a good horror movie
And with you as the star? It's her new favorite
Instantly the whole movie is switched around for her
Who cares if you're "supposed" to be the bad guy
Those hitchhikers MUST have done something bad to deserve this
She will gladly sit down and watch them with you
She might even turn them on herself a couple of times
#1 Fan
Emmett:
Don't invite him to the movie premier
He'll show up in a shirt that says "I love my partner even though they're a psycho murderer" of smthn
In all honesty though he loves it
He loves seeing the people around him be strong and brave
He LOVED it when Bella was able to crush the rock and jump super high and hit Jacob
So I feel like he'd get a kick out of you in a mask with a chainsaw
Esme:
I feel like she's not too into horror movies
Absolutely shocking take I know
She just gets enough blood and guts and suspense in her daily life yk
But she will watch it for you
She won't say anything but she also gets a bit unnerved by you being the villain
I feel like she sort of has that underlying feeling of being a monster
So seeing the stuff that she has to do to survive dramatized on screen and played out by none other than her partner
It strikes a chord deep in her heart
She will also need some one-on-one time with you afterward to remind herself that that is not you on the screen
Carlisle:
I actually think he'd be quite the horror lover
I feel like he has a fascination with the way sfx and prosthetics are made for movies
Unironically I think one of his favorite film franchises is Saw
So he would be more than happy to sit down and watch your movie
He has absolutely no issue with you being the villain
The only thing he cares about is talking specifics
He's like Alice but worse
He points out every set error
He's like those old YouTube videos of people pointing out every error made in *insert movie here*
"Look there's one of the boom mics"
"That blood is a bit too pink, and runny"
Vampire! Bella:
Again, she thinks it's badass
She's only recently gotten a handle on being an agile killer
So in her mind she's still that clumsy girl sometimes
Seeing her partner on the screen being a badass killer makes her so proud
Unfortunately another one you shouldn't take to the premier
She is wearing one of those god awful dresses with one bad image of your face printed all over it from redbubble or smthn
And no she won't take it off or change
She already had to sneak out of the house without Alice seeing it

I suspect a lot of people are going to have OPINIONS on episode two.
...it's not cutting sokka's sexism that weakened this one. it's cutting his arrogance about his warrior abilities and cutting suki's contempt for his grandstanding that weakens it.
they play the dynamic off like suki's curious about sokka because he's an outsider. the attraction between them is really played up. and instead of coming across like a talented fighter putting some idiot dude in his place, she comes off like she's almost...doing it accidentally. the scenes between them feel more genuine on her part, like she almost believes him when he says he's a warrior and wants to fight. it's...it's not as good.
it almost reminds me of the little mermaid, if I'm being honest, because they added this dimension to suki of having been isolated on kyoshi island her whole life and never getting to see the world. so she meets sokka and he's like this fascinating outsider who's been places and from a different culture and she's just enamored by that. and she is still a much better fighter than him, no question about that. but I feel like something was lost in the tension between them. it's all sexual tension now, there's no tension tension anymore. the animosity is gone. so it just doesn't hit the same.
suki's mom was pretty cool though. not sure she ever got a name?
lots of other changes to the story here, I don't even know if it's worth it to go through them all. kyoshi herself shows up and she's...kyoshi. that's a compliment. you know her, you love her. ken leung is going to be very interesting to continue watching as zhao. his character might be the change with the most implications, but we'll see how it unfolds. really like the performance though. all the fire nation characters have been really well done thus far. we also see our first look at ozai and I just know daniel dae kim is gonna nail this role.
the writing was overall better. less exposition and lore-dumping, still some coming from kyoshi about the avatar state, but not nearly as bad as episode one. there's just a lot of changes in this episode that are setting things up for how this season is going to play out. I knew they were going to have to eliminate the episodic nature of season one, but man they are really eliminating it. murdering it honestly. there's something sad about that because I know how much is going to inevitably get lost. there won't be much space for this story to breathe.
they ought to have had ten episodes, I think, instead of eight. I think I'm already feeling how compressed this version of the story is at only episode two.
but also momo is here now so like. there's that lol. overall I'm feeling kind of a mix of disappointment and intrigue with this one. the butchered sokka/suki dynamic drags this one down a lot for me.
also I'm still not happy with the portrayal of katara. and I don't think it's the actress, I know kiawentiio from anne with an e. I know she can play up emotion and anger and pain and trauma, and I know she can do joy and heartwarming friendship. but something's off with her take on katara, and it's either in the writing or directing, I think. they've just...neutered her. all her fire is gone and we're left with a girl that feels like a shell of her animated self. like the building blocks are there. she wants to be a waterbender. she really believes in aang. she's caring and compassionate. she's clearly traumatized by the death of her mother. she bickers with her brother sometimes, albeit not as much as in the original. but it's like the spark, that drive she had in the original just isn't there. she feels flattened out and dull. I don't feel this with the other characters...it really is a katara problem.
maybe it'll get better. but this isn't the same character. and when all the other leads do feel like the same characters, that's a problem.
...also, they threw the waterbending scroll into this episode as something gran-gran was hiding from katara for her safety, which...fine, but now we're not even gonna get that arc for katara. I just. ugh what have they done to my girl??

campus nights reagan soft quotes
āthatās my neurotic but lovable roommate, Reagan.ā
āReagan smiles, deep dimples popping out.ā
āReagan reappears in green with her hair down, looking like she walked out of a salon.ā
āWell, heād be a fool to turn you down,ā I tell her honestly. Reagan is the kind of pretty that you wish only existed on the pages of a magazine or on TV.ā
āReagan smiles. I freaking love her dimples.ā
āPutting makeup on Reagan is fun. Sheās so naturally beautiful I probably couldnāt make her look bad if I tried,ā
āReagan is a theater major, and according to Dakota, she kicks ass in the school plays.ā
āCan you do this for my date?ā Reagan makes a circle in front of her face.
āAbsolutely, but you donāt need my help to look gorgeous.ā
āThe green gown she wears could have been made specifically with her in mind. She looks exquisite. Thatās my first thought, but the longer sheās on the stage, the more I fall into her character. I smile as the clock strikes midnight, she bows her head and slowly walks backward until she disappears behind the curtain. After the rehearsal, she comes down off the front of the stage and finds me in the third row.
āWhat did you think?ā
I pull her into a tight hug. āYou are so talented, Reagan.ā I let her go to look her in the eye, so she knows how much I mean it, and then I hug her again.ā
āSheās so damn talented,ā
āReagan looked as hot as she always doesā
āI also donāt like anyone talking to my friends that way. Especially Reagan. Sheās so sweet and nice.
The Reagan I know is gentle, slow to jump into a conversation, and has never been one to get in the middle of an argument.ā
āSheās reverted back to looking timid and unsure, quiet. Now I know she has some fight in her, I want to see it again.
āYou were scrappy back there.ā
āMean girls are the worst. Old wounds, I guess.ā
I canāt imagine why anyone would be mean to Reagan. Aside from generally being one that hangs back out of the center of attention, sheās just so sweet and good. She has a way about her that makes people want to be friends with her. I know thatās how it was for me. The second I saw her, I wanted to talk to her and find out more about her. Being ridiculously hot probably had something to do with that too, if Iām honest.ā
āSheās outspoken, funny,ā
āHe ducks his head and speaks quietly so only I can hear, āJust be you. Beautiful, talented Reagan.ā
āHer face lights up. āThatās where I know you. The Christmas play was beautiful. You looked like a real angel up there.ā
āThank you so much.ā
Adam grins down at me. āReaganās ridiculously talented.ā
My face warms.ā
āSheās the kind of girl who deserves big diamonds and opportunities to show them off.ā
āYouāre fearless. I admire that.ā
āYou are the coolest girl Iāve ever known.
Youāre smart, talented, kind, and gorgeous.ā
āShe shoots a grin over at me, and damn, sheās stunning. Iām totally gone for her.ā
āA talented, beautiful actress. She couldnāt fix a broken arm or do anything that sheād think is heroic, but she is the single bravest person I know. The core of who she is reminds me a lot of that doctor from long ago. She inspires me every day to pay it forward. Ten thousand people, but none of them have made me feel like her.ā
āYou did a great job yesterday. You found your fire. I know that Iāve been hard on you, but itās because I know you can do better. You just need to believe in yourself. Not the character. You.ā
āI think Iām starting to.ā
āBut tonight, Iām feeling pretty ridiculous too. Ridiculously lucky, ridiculously happy, and absolutely, ridiculously in love. Anythingās possible. Itās a one and a million kind of night.ā
āYouāre pretty amazing. You know that?ā
āSheās nice, beautiful too. She has these dimples that I canāt stop staring at.ā
āMy best friend is tough as nails.ā
ābeautiful and talentedā

Dark Skies
The Signsā Face Claims
I had this idea for a while: Personification of the signs. I always wanted to write a story that presents the signs as people, with the same features and personalities that the signs are said to have, living their lives, interacting with each other. Here are a few ideas for each character, if I get to the actual story, the characters will develop a lot of course. Please inbox me your feedback, if you would be interested in a story as such.Ā
Hereās an idea for the face claims. (the actorsā actual sun signs donāt have anything to do with their roles):
Henry CavillĀ as Aries, the impulsive soldier.Strong-minded and brave, but a hot-head, which makes him dangerous in a fight. He often throws caution to the wind and goes straight to the point, which he may regret later. He lives for today, is initiative and ambitious, lacks certain gentleness, humility and senseĀ of social act, hurts people without even intending to. Heās restless, vital and always looks for new challenges and adventures. Deep-set eyes and dark eyebrows give him the severe, serious but handsome look. Heās not into love, but does like sex. He rarely gets attached to people, only lives for war and winning battles.
ZoĆ« Kravitz as Taurus, the confident, self-sufficient, but sensitive girl. You can rely on her, sheās honest and respects good manners. Patient and cautious, she knows what she wants and wonāt let anyone stop her. She keeps her feet firmly on the ground, doesnāt like to dream or wish, she strongly believes that if you want something enough, you have to go and get it. Sheās practical and responsible, but easier to break than sheāll ever show. She loves strongly, and passionately, has a big, loving heart, but knows when to let go, she doesnāt put herself down for anyone. Her doe-like, big, brown eyes will make you trust her with your life. She is exactly who a woman should be, if you could say that, confident, strong, independent and intelligent.
Tom Hiddleston as Gemini, the sweet and funny, blonde, curly-haired sunny-boy. He can seamlessly change everything, from style, ideas to work or partner. He is easy to adjust to significant changes. Surrounded by a little nervous energy, he is brilliant but sometimes emotionally unstable. Being bisexual, he likes to sleep around with different people, but doesnāt really mean to intentionally hurt anyone, he just expects other people to take life and relationshipsĀ as easily as he does. Heās humorous, energetic and cheerful, but doesnāt let anyone see his sensitive side, thatās why his mysteriousĀ way seems very attractive.Ā
Andrew Garfield as Cancer, the typical sweet boy, who likes to play with fire and often gets burned. He can go from being in a great mood to suicidal thoughts in a second. His heart is easy to break and he doesnāt know how to get over it. Trying to bring an order to his chaotic feelings, he starts writing. For himself at first, but thatās how his talentĀ as a writer gets discovered. It helps at first, but his vulnerableĀ nature wants him to take revenge on those who hurt him, which startsĀ to destroy him slowly.Ā
Madelaine Petsch as Leo, the Queen Bee in Louboutins. She likes expensive clothes, always looks flawless and knows it. She appears even more confident than she actually is. As a struggling actress, her life hasnāt been the easiest. Trusting and a little naive, sheās often been used and lied to. She likes to manipulate people, but sometimes ends up being manipulated herself. Trying hard to hide her generous, forgiving heart, she thinks that the key to success is heartlessness and diamonds. Her brutallyĀ honest personalityĀ gave her the name of a ābitchā, which she enjoys at times, it gives her a painful kind of satisfactionĀ to be hated, but admired at the same time. Her long, red hair perfectly matches her ever-red lips and green eyes, that roll so often. She enjoys her naturally good looks and knows how to use it for her best.Ā
Jamie Chung as Virgo, the beautiful healer. Sheās a doctor, she lives for helping people. But the sad truth is, she doesnāt always know how to help herself. Being a gorgeous, strong woman, she is full of insecurities, no one can understand. She is ready to sacrifice herself for others, even people she doesnāt know, because her own life doesnāt mean anything to her. Attentive, with great analytical skills, she seems to see everyone'sĀ personality through, she sees when somebodyās hurting, when somebody'sĀ lying, her eyes donāt miss out on anything. She loves to bring order into the chaotic life, and tries to make the world a better place by being considerate and organized. Being wealthy, she doesnāt like expensive and unnecessary luxuries. Taurus is her soulmate, but unfortunately, there are many struggles that come in their way. Their love is beautiful and innocent, but leaves them both heartbroken, more than once.Ā
Shay Mitchell as Libra, the girl next door. She has always been a girl who went by unnoticed. A wallflower kind of girl as they say. She never minds, she doesnāt like to show off, doensāt like to shine. Simple clothes and sneakers, ponytail and barely any make-up, that is her every day look. She has a soft personality and knows how to handle troubles, a diplomat, religious, fair, justice has always been important to her. People usually think that she is a depressed teenager, but that isnāt true, life is going as she wishes it to go. She doesnāt like to be pushed, pressured, she prefers to leave responsibility to others. Sometimes, she feels a little basic, thatās all. But the girl will find her place in this world very soon.Ā
Michael Ealy as Scorpio, the blue-eyed devil. Despite what people said, he isnāt all that bad. The often call himĀ āthe evil eyeā, if your eyes meet, you always move first. He can kill you with a look, undress you with a look, send you to hell with only one look. Heās never easy, everything is important to him and he takes everything seriously. All around him is black or white, nothing in between. The only people he can call friends seem more like loyal servants. It feels like he never tells the truth, heās mysterious to a fault and will never tell you his opinion about anything. Donāt do him wrong, he will never let you leave with it. He scars a lot of people. Not always intentionally, just by being himself.Ā
Will Smith as Sagittarius, the short-tempered cop. Heās charismatic and respectful, a real fighter for justice. Straightforward, he will shoot arrows, he canāt leave anything unspoken. If youāre in the wrong, heāll make you crack. He does have strong relationships with people, but only the ones who deserve it in his opinion. Quite tolerant, he will accept a lot of your flaws, but never cross a line, he can cut you out of his life in a second. Heās living on the edge, taking risks, jumps into danger, whether itās about work or love. Being short-tempered, he gets angry fast, screams, even gets physical, but calms down fast and often regrets it. He does have a good soul, but not many get to see it. Mostly, all they see is a man fighting for the good in any possible ways.
Keanu Reeves as Capricorn, the lone wolf.Ā He never really needed anyone. He was fine being alone. Growing up in an orphanage, he was used to it. Not knowing love, no one to care about. But still, he got through, fought for his degree, became a teacher, not even knowing what for. He doesn't really fall in love, he doesn't really get attached, he doesn't really need it. His good looks and seemingly cool nature attracts a lot of people, heās interesting, mysterious behind closed doors. But no one really knows him, not even himself.Ā At times, it feels like he's ready, to be a part of the world, to take care of people, but he struggles to believe that anyone would put up with him. He always was so ambitious, so determined, but he came to a point where nothing makes sense anymore. That's the moment he meets him. Better said, he reads his book. A book about retaliation.
Margot Robbie as Aquarius, the sharp-tongued beauty. She grew through struggles and insecurities, which turned her into this perfect human being. She was abused, betrayed and had to fight to survive, just to become a brilliant thief. Sheās a woman who gets what she wants, with her intelligence and incredible looks. She considers herself a visionary, she has her ambitions andĀ desires, sheās close to the spiritual world and has a great imagination. Overly dramatic at times, she knows her worth, and knows others better than they know themselves. People bore her quite easily, she expects mystery and entertainmentĀ from others. Sexually passionate, she suffers from lack of permanent feelings. Her life has to be a never-endingĀ adventure.Ā
Jared Leto as Pisces, the lost soul. He'a a musician, struggling with drugs and alcohol abuse. His curious and creative mind can't manage between his will to get inspiration and his addictions. He always needs more, whetherĀ it's whiskey, love or music, he can never stop. At times, it feels like he's at the end, that he can't do it anymore, but only one shot, and he's back, writing, singing, playing guitar. He falls in love with creative souls like himself, struggling, even dying. For him, it's always over. Every day, can be his last and all he does is singing, dreaming, he always took the path of least resistance.

Donāt Make A Scene
Summary: y/n is an actress and harry is jealous
Warnings: unwanted touching, implied smut, a teensy bit of angst and fluff
Word Count:Ā 2000 words
āYou have to what?ā Harry raised his voice slightly at the news.Ā
Y/N fiddled at the silver jewelry adorning her wrist, āItās a quick scene,ā She retorted. āItāll only be on screen for a minute or less,āĀ
He shook his head as if disappointed. His lips in a firm line tucked in his mouth while his brows furrowed in complete confusion.
āY/N, listen to me. You have a choice to do this scene or not and youāre justā,ā Hary's hands gestured gesticulatively, cutting through the air in an appointed manner.Ā
Y/N huffed lightly, āIām just what?ā
Harry groaned, frustrated with the way this night is taking a turn to. āYouāre just doing whatever they tell you to!ā
āHarry, this is my decision!ā Y/N explained, āNo oneās forcing me to do anything,āĀ
āSo youāre just kissing him for what?ā
āFor a thank you because his character literally saved my life!ā
Harry looked like a fish out of the water as he tried to conjure up a response to her words.
āYou can come to the set if it makes you feel better,ā Y/N offered, to which Harry immediately agreed to. "You can't get angry at me for doing my job, Harry."
-----
Harry is a jealous person. There wasnāt much shame in admitting it because he believed that whatās his was solely hisāespecially Y/N. The idea of his love sharing intimacy with another person, albeit a co-star, was enough kindling to light a fire at the base of his spine, slithering up his back and making his head heated to the point that every thought fired by his neurons resembled an atomic bomb. He could feel his hands itching to stay put, his nerves aching to grab Y/N and never let her go.
Y/N could see Harryās antsy body from the peripheral of her vision. The curly-haired boy glancing anxiously upon the set; a room with dark mahogany walls decored with wooden furniture and accented knick-knacks sitting atop. The atmosphere of the set was enigmatic, curtains shut with only a sliver of orange-hued light peeking through directly on the bed. Candles were lit around the room, wafting off a cinnamon vanilla aroma that reminded Y/N of the ones she would carefully light when the time arose with Harry.
The pout of his pink lips deepened as he released a breath, his cheeks puffed up while his eyes tried to catch hers indicating that Harryās usual calm persona was close to crumbling. Time was drawing closer as the producers slowly wore their ear-in pieces and microphones, adjusting the equipment to fit comfortably.Ā
āHow you doing, baby?ā Y/N asked gently, wanting to comfort him as best as she could before she was skewed away in the world of acting. Her hands folded his curls atop Harryās crown, palm grazing the creased lines of his forehead as he tilted his head up to look at her from his decreased height on her assigned chair.Ā
āDo you have to do it?ā Harry quipped silently, his voice resembling a whine. During the time of their argument to now, he managed to swap his thoughts from being angry to accepting, Well, as best as he could. Y/N was glad that their argument did not explode more than it had to.
He whined low in his throat when Y/N nodded, wrapping his arms around her waist. The fuzzy material of her robe caressing his cheek and Harry briefly forgot what he was here for in the first place.Ā
āAlright, everyone. Places!ā The directorās voice boomed through his mic, amplified by the speakers surrounding the studio. Harry pouted some more when Y/N practically untangled his hands latched tightly from around her middle. Her make-up artists powdering her face with translucent powder as she walked towards the bathroom of the set. He smiled slightly at the sight; his love was so talented and he couldnāt be any prouder than he is right now.Ā
āAction!ā
Ā The lights dimmed to further accentuate the romantic atmosphere of the room, the cameras slowly moving in circles, zooming in and capturing the room. Y/Nās co-star, Allen, was sat upon the headboard with his back supported, the lower half of his body was draped with a silky red sheet covering up to his upper thigh. Harry could only roll his eyes at the cliche scene with Allenās gaze focused on a book, fingers flicking focusing in on the bathroom door opening.Ā
Harry could hear the muttering of the director, cueing the crew to indicate Y/Nās arrival to the lensesā eye. Y/N opened the door just as the large camera drifted to focus on her. Her innocent face appearing on the screen, hair tousled and make-up was just the same as Harry had seen moments ago, only this time did a seductive stare plastered her face. Her lids hooded the dark fluttering of her lashes as her pointer finger rested upon her lower lip. Harry gulped, shifting silently in his seat.
Everything happened in slow motion after that. Allenās eyes drifting from the words on the book to Y/N carefully untying the knot of her robe, revealing stretches of smooth skin that had Harryās mouth watering despite the circumstances. The nape of his neck bubbled with heat while he watched the scene unfold to its climax.
Y/N walked until she was at the foot of the bed, Allen meeting her with his knees digging on the mattress as their lips grazed each othersā, muttering the necessary lines from their scripts. His hands wandered around the fabric before Allen pushed the robe off from Y/Nās rounded shoulders, dropping on the hardwood with a soft thud. Harryās jaw dropped at the lingerie adorning her body, speckles of black lace covering her most intimate parts but surely left little to the imagination. The opaque material highlighting the peeks of her breasts, intricate lace swirling around the firmness of her buttcheeks. The garter snapped around her thigh attached to a fishnet stocking was enough to have Harry imagining doing dirty things to his girl.
The camera shifted its neck lower and lower, following Allenās hands caressing her soft skin raising with goosebumps before resting on the crest of her bum. Harryās annoyance overpowered his arousal as he watched another manās touch affecting Y/N even if she didnāt mean to.Ā
Y/N craned her neck clockwise, adding to the sensuality of the scene and for Allen to nip at her neck. Her mind was zeroed in on capturing the essence of the script as perfectly as possible, the goosebumps on her body elevating with the need to push Allenās hands away from her. Still, she continued with her acting. Y/N was a professional actress after all.Ā
She counted in her mind to make sure that her lines were delivered on time, willing her body to relax under the touch of another manās hands, knowing that her tense figure would be captured by the prying eyes of the camera reeling. A gasp parted her mouth open when Allen squeezed both of her butt cheeks tightly, gripping the tender skin with enough force to prickle tears in her eyes, his fingertips leaving white indentations for a few seconds before turning a blush red.Ā
āCut!ā The director yelled, āThat wasnāt in the script, Allen! Are you alright, Y/N?ā
Harry leaned forward, forearms resting on the armrests, his ears straining to hear the conversation being shared as the director angrily stomped to the stars, his microphone tilted away from his mouth.Ā
She nodded slowly, gulping a ball of wool down her throat. āIām fine,ā
āWe have a script and we follow it so everyone is comfortable.āĀ
An arrogant smirk drooped Allen's cheeks, glancing at Y/N, Ā her arms awkwardly hanging at the sides of her body. āI thought it felt right. Right, Y/N?ā Allen eyed Harry walking towards them, a pissed off look on his face but he couldnāt care less.
āWhat the fuck?ā
āItās acting, pal. Donāt get so heated,ā Allenās hair flopped in front of his eyes, hiding a mischievous glint.
āYou donāt treat women like that even if youāre acting,ā Harryās timbre mellowed the tense aura, noticing Y/Nās barely covered body still adorned in goosebumps from the chilly air. He removed his jacket, wrapping it around her.
The director nodded in agreement, fingers massaging his temples as he glanced at his watch. āSort this out. Iāll be right back,āĀ
Allen chuckled in disbelief, āItās acting.ā As if his annunciation would magically make his actions better. āWeāre professionals, right Y/N?ā
Both men watched Y/N in anticipation of her response, Harry's silent stare asking her a million times to say what she means, to address the elephant in the room before stuffing herself in the corner in fear of confrontation.Ā
āYeah, we are.ā Y/N began, tucking Harryās jacket tighter around her, āIt doesnāt mean I deserved what you did,ā She snuggled closer to Harryās side, finding comfort by the heat of his body close to her. āI donāt want you touching me like that unless it says so.ā
Harry sized Allen up, noticing the swole biceps and peaked pecs but he would knock him out this instant if Y/N told him to.Ā
āFine. Whatever, weāll have to do this scene again anyway,ā Allenās confident tone shook Y/N with fear and rattled Harryās control to the ground.Ā
āActually, you wonāt have to,ā The director returned with a clipboard grasped in his aged-hands, a pen tucked in his ear. āYouāre fired, Allen.ā
āWhat?ā
āI expected you to treat Y/N with respect but you didnāt,ā
Harry hugged Y/N closer to his side, their eyes wide in surprise at the bombshell.
āOh, come on! You canāt do this. Iām the male lead,ā Allen pointed out with such arrogance and defiance against authority. āYou canāt shoot this without me.ā
Y/Nās brows furrowed in worry. It was only the first day of filming and without a lead; there would be no movie.
āOf course we can,ā The director answered calmly, āWhy do you think we film the intimate scenes first? Need to see if you can treat your co-stars with respect before we move on,"
Allenās mouth was dropped open, frustration clearly etched on his features. If Harry didnāt know any better, he might have felt bad for the guy, but his filthy hands marked his girlfriend up without her consent and thatās just not something that he can let slide off his back.
Allen ordered his assistant to get his shirt, slipping his head in the hole before storming off to his dressing room. The director turned to the couple with an apologetic face, promising Y/N that her next co-star is someone that respected her as their partner.Ā
āHarry, would you like to audition?ā
Y/N squealed in delight, immediately wrapped her hands around his wrist, bouncing up and down with excitement, āWill you do it, please?ā
āAre you serious?āĀ
The director nodded, āIāve seen you on Dunkirk. A Nolan film for your debut,ā His tone carried an impressed valve. āI think Y/N here would love for you to be her co-star,ā
Harry stared at Y/Nās pleading, doe eyes. He sighed, nodding with a small smile on his lips, āIād love to,ā
āGreat!ā The director clapped his hands in celebration, announcing through his headset that they would be filming the scene again. āThis is your audition scene. I want this film to showcase intimacy and unrequited love between two people battling against the criticisms of the outside world, think you can do that?ā
Harryās mind reeled in the judgments, comments and harsh words spewed at him and Y/N for being together. The criticisms harshly raking up and yelled in their ears when they didnāt know the truth. Rumours painted to tear them apart, causing doubts and misunderstandings but they always worked through it. It pained his heart to have the world treat her like they did, especially when she was the sweetest little things that could have ever graced foot on the world.
Ā āAlready am,ā

Tis the Season of Love āŖ,
Get That Personās Heart! (letās get it)
The flower blooming Spring is the season of (new) meetings. Look around for an instant and before you know it, the distance between āthat personā and āthat personā has gotten smaller. Will love be born from there? Picking up the relationship that people are curious about.
Even though theyāre at the height of adolescence, the three Yashahimes slay demons all the time. Within that, recently thereās a gentleman that has quickly approached Towa. His name is Riku. He seems to be known among demons and is a suspicious unidentifiable person, but his manners are exceptional in any case! Whether itās because Towa letās her guard down at his friendly attitude, they seem to enjoy their conversations whenever they meet. It seems Riku has a motive but putting that aside, it appears that heās taken a liking to Towa herself. While still not knowing whether heās a friend or enemy, at some point, a relationship thatās not quite love (?) has sprouted between them. This time, we had Matsumoto Sara, the voice actress for Towa, talk about Riku and, going with the theme of Spring, had her choose flower images for the Yashahimes and Riku based on āFlower Languageā.
The handsome young man with an ulterior motive, Riku
Self-proclaimed āpirate come ashoreā. A young man of many mysteries who covets the rainbow pearls the three Yashahimes possess. He also knows a lot about the circumstances surrounding the birth of Towa and the others.
The honest girl who is still inexperienced in love, Towa
SesshÅmaruās daughter and Setsunaās elder twin sister. She treasures Setsuna, who was raised separately from her, more than anyone else. On the night of the new moon, she loses her demonic powers and her hair turns black.
Setsuna
Towaās younger twin sister. Due to having her sleep stolen by the Dream Butterfly, she is unable to sleep. While she does not have any memories of her early childhood, she has gradually become able to let her guard down around Towa.
Spring Breeze Interview, The Voice Actress for Higurashi Towa: Matsumoto Sara
Moroha
Inuyasha and Kagomeās daughter. Separated from her parents soon after being born, she was raised by the wolf demon tribe. When she puts rouge on her lips, she becomes āBeniyasha, the Destroyer of Landsā and goes on a rampage.
ā With the development thus far, which episode left a big impression on you?
What left the biggest impression on me was episode 14 which was the episode that showed the truth behind the forest fire that separated Towa and Setsuna. I always to keep an objective point of view while acting but at that time, I was truly angry from the bottom of my heart. Whether for better or for worse, Towaās emotions came into me.
Also, the depiction of Towa and Setsuna when they were born in episode 15 left an impression on me as well. Since itās SesshÅmaru, I thought he would be rough with the babies but surprisingly, he firmly and carefully held them, so I was relieved (laughs).
ā Being Towaās father, what do you think of SesshÅmaruās actions?
Without really saying too much, even though there are not enough words, I end up just suddenly saying what Iām really curious about. However, I think SesshÅmaru himself acts on his intentions while not caring about what others around him think. I also didnāt know what the future development was, so as the role of the daughter I thought āPlease give more hintsā.
ā How did you feel seeing the figure of Towa fighting up to this point?
When Towaās life completely changed by jumping from the modern era to the feudal era, I worried if Towa would be able to cope but I was surprised at how adaptable she was. Thereās the fact that sheās still in puberty so her sensitivity is like a sponge, or rather her ability to absorb things is amazing, I think. Also, having Setsuna nearby is big. There may be times where sheās uneasy but her strong sense of duty and justice to āprotect Setsunaā is what I feel drives her. Sheās the type to immediately take action if thereās something she has to do, so I think her current environment is a good fit.
ā Alright then, what are some highlights going forward?
Thereās an episode where you will learn Setsunaās childhood and how she lived after she was separated from Towa. In episode 13, it talked about how Monk Miroku sealed Setsunaās demonic powers, so this flashback episode of the past will connect to that. After episode 20, the fragments scattered throughout the story thus far will gradually come together as one, so thereās a lot of information packed in that you canāt miss. I think viewers have been in suspense following the mystery (of the story) so please look forward to the final stage of the development.
Will the Scheming Manās Approach Work on the Dense Princess!?
Towa & Riku Affinity Investigation
Iām weak against boys like Riku, so if someone continuously came to me saying āIām interested in youā, it would make my heart beat fast (laughs). Riku moves understanding that mentality and I think heās good at setting up the mood when approaching Towa. I think right now based on where he stands, he makes spur of the moment decisions on how to act. Heās mysterious but he smiles periodically and even though heās vague, he has a maternal appealā¦ Heās a very charming and sly character (Matsumoto)
By the way! If Riku were in the modern era, what sort of occupation would he be suitable for?
Heās a sweet talker, so the first thing that comes to mind is a swindler (laughs). There was a scene where he showed a magic technique so I think work in the entertainment field would also fit Riku. He also seems suitable to be an actor. Heās got natural talent and can turn into any person. Then conversely, I think strict jobs would also suit him. If he were a schoolteacher, I have a feeling he would be popular with the students. (Matsumoto)
The Part of Riku that Makes One Swoon: He completely reeks of danger.
Rikuās mysteriousness is appealing. He also met Kagome before she gave birth to Moroha, but he looked the same as he does now.
The Part of Towa that Makes One Swoon: She tries her hardest and is pure cuteness!
Losing her demonic powers on the āNight of the New Moonā, Towa becomes worried about Setsuna. Different from usual, she shows the weak side of a regular girl.
Try! Heart Pounding Flower & Date Plan
What flower comes to mind for Towa, Setsuna, Moroha, and Riku?
Setsuna is the Evening Primrose
Setsuna is an evening primrose which in flower language means āSilent Affectionā. The evening primrose goes unnoticed and quietly blooms at night. Having her sleep stolen by the Dream Butterfly, I think it overlaps with the figure of Setsuna being the only one awake after everyone else has fallen asleep for the night. (Matsumoto)
Towa is the Lily
Towa is a lily which in flower language means āPureā. While watching reality change before her eyes, I think the word āpureā fits Towa perfectly as she acts with a pure sense of justice and duty. That sense of not being tainted by anything is also like a lily. (Matsumoto)
Moroha is the Statice
Moroha is a statice which in flower language means āEndless Memoriesā. Born as Inuyasha and Kagomeās child, I think Morohaās existence is blessed. The things Moroha inherited from her parents are within her as āendless memoriesā. Thatās what I imagined. (Matsumoto)
Riku is the Anemone
Riku is a purple anemone which in flower language means āI will believe in you as I waitā. Riku will affectionately call Zero āElder Sisterā (translators: I believe the context is the same word that maiko (apprentice Geisha) use to address their superiors (full-fledged Geishas)) and he seems to have strong feelings for Kirinmaru in his own way, so I matched (the flower) to that image. (Matsumoto)
If you were to gift Towa, Setsuna, Moroha, and Riku flowers?
I think a small bouquet would suit Towa and Riku and they would genuinely be delighted. I think Towa would give you a wink as a thank you. I want to give Setsuna a large bouquet. She would probably turn her face away slightly, embarrassed. Instead of a bouquet for Moroha, I want to take her to a flower field myself. I think she would enjoy the scenery while saying āThis wonāt make any money.ā (Matsumoto)
If you were to take Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha out in the Spring?
My impression is that the warm spring weather would suit the three of them. If in the feudal era, I think they would enjoy cherry blossom viewing. Ideally, it would be great if their parents were there with them too. If in the modern era, Iād have to say I want them to do some kind of team activity. I want to see something like Towa dressing up Setsuna, going shopping together, and eating delicious food. (Matsumoto)
I want their (the three Yashahimes) hearts to become closer while loving the cherry blossoms!
Illustration Description
Whether it was to let Towa know that there was a butterfly on her shoulder, Riku amiably calls out to her. It feels as though Towaās encounter with Riku wasnāt all bad?

Warnings: long smut, arugeing, getting caught, basically it! Idk what else, probably terrible smut btw
T.H| premier or how ever you spell it
āThis is so boringā āwhy? Because you arenāt meeting Batista?ā āOh Iām meeting Batista Thomasā he only laughed at you, it was the press tour today, everyone fancy and shit.
You and Tom have been friends for a long time, friends with benefits for a short one, youāve only fucked a few times..... totally, just in the two hotels, the dressing room, on the couch, on the back of the couch, on the front door, the wall- anyways. But youāve both always had a bond.
You both were making it to your hotel, in his car, he had his hand on your thigh, taking it higher and higher until he cupped you, you turned to him while he bit his lip still looking at the road, you pushed his hand down as he looked at you confused.
āWow you lookā āamazingā Tom finished your assistants words, triko (tree co) looking back him and nodding in agreement, your hair in a natural kinky Afro and a poofy dress, two layers, and off the shoulders, the color was yellow and it radiated off your skin, matching your dark colored acrylics (basically Rihannaās dress but yellow, letās act like it was invented yet) āThanksā you say, smiling at yourself. āWell I have to go take care of something, uh your hair shouldnāt dry out so you should be fineā triko said, walking out.
āI-uh hiā he stuttered, coming up behind you as you turned to him. āWhat Thomasā you ask. āI was thinking about you-ā āso you just wanna fuck huh?ā You cross your arms over your chest raising your eyebrows at him.
āI donāt just want to fuck, I want to talk to you, while we fuckā he smiles, thinking he is funny. āIām not doing this anymoreā you push past him, sitting on your vanity chair. āWhat are you talking about?ā He asked, turning to you. āIām not sleeping with youā you look at yourself in the mirror, fixing your makeup. āWhat did I do?!ā He almost yelled.
āYou only want to sleep with me! We donāt even talk any fucking more Thomas! You cup my vagina out of the blue, you come to my house almost every night with a bottle of wine, itās like Iām a fucking booty callā you slammed your brush down, looking at him through the mirror.
āHey you arenāt a booty call! What the fuck is up with you!ā He yelled, his lips in a thin line. āTell me the last time we actually had a sit down conversation Thomasā you said, he stops in his tracks, trying not to look away. āIn the car-ā āin the car?! You mean the one you cupped me in! In the same day! Like Iām some sex toy and-ā āyou know what fuck you, you canāt make random decisions like you didnāt like it!ā You stood up, bit your lip sure it would bleed, walking up to him. āYou right, i did like it, until what it did to youā you take your pointer finger, pressing it on his forehead and pushed it back. āAnd to meā you put your finger to your chest āand to usā you pointed and both of you. āFind some hooker on the street Thomas, or even better! Zen fucking daya, Iām not fucking wit chu, and you better leave my room or i swear-ā āswear what?ā He asked, crossing his arms and looking at you. āOr I swear I will call you out for the user you are, think about it with me āThomas the slutā ācanāt keep his hands off of y/nā āusing her for a fuck?ā āIsnāt using his brainā, Iāll ruin you and anything youāve worked for, try me. And it doesnāt only have to be about me, Iāll just dig up more dirtā ānow thatās childish y/nā ānot when my feelings are hurt! Your fucking clueless man, I- fuck you!ā You stormed out of the room, leaving Thomas there stranded trying to understand what even happened at that moment. āFuckā he whispered, looking around and noticing he basically couldnāt slam anything because it is all yours.
āHey y/n!ā Jacob smiled, you smiled back at him āhey Jacobā āhow are youā āeh things could be betterā you shrugged. āWanna talk about it?ā He asked, really worried. Both of you making your way to the limo ānot really if Iām being honest, I know I donāt wanna be alone though so do you want to take pictures with me?ā You questioned looking at him, he only nodded.
Each of your arms wrapped around each otherās, smiling at the camera. Giggling as Jacob told you stupid jokes.
On the other hand thomas was taking pictures with zendaya, his hand around her waist and hers around his shoulders. āHey can we do questions?ā An interviewer asked, Tom nodding and coming forward.
Thomas answered a few questions and shared a few laughs until the question came up āso Gwen Stacy, you said youāve always wanted a black cat but you have a Gwen Stacy, how does it feel?ā āI feel like peter is a very lucky manā he laughed ābut I am to, Iām lucky enough to work with y/n how by the way is soooā he opened is hands as if somethings is in between spacing them ātalented, Iām glad we have her and Gwen Stacy here, I mean at least we donāt have anyone bad right?ā He laughed again, the interviewer laughing with him.
āIāve always had the most biggest crush on Spider-Man, itās honestly my brothers fault because he forced me to watch itā you laughed āwhatās your favorite suit of his?ā āProbably venom, he looked really cool but his attitude wasnāt itā you giggled. āDid i mention how beautiful you are, I just felt like I had to say it or else Iād regret it laterā āooo are you hitting on me?ā You grinned, placing your hand on your collar bone. He nervously laughed āI mean, I guess soā āoo imma get you firedā you teased making him laugh, did I mention Tom was basically right next to you both?
His jaw clenched many times, trying not to glance over, his mind roaming into violent things, until he had it, heād just talk to you or something, oh well.
āI forgot my bracelet, Iāll be right backā you waved at tony as he only nodded āIāll be right here waiting for youā he smiled. You walked off the the same limo, staying there for whatever reason you asked the driver to unlock the car, instead he just gave you to whole keys. You went to the limo, unlocking it and getting in. You digged in the side of the seat, trying to find it until you heard the door open and close again, you screamed and tried to stand for some odd reason but hit your head, you groaned and sat down rubbing over the spot.
You looked over to find Thomas, you both made eye contact and you groaned again turning away from him āokay okay look! We are going to talk, to fucking talk!ā He said, you look at him and rolled your eyes, trying to open the door until it was locked, you looked at Thomas and he dangled the keys smiling at you. Then you groaned, once again. āYou arenāt going anywhere until we talk about thisā he said. āIām not talking about shitā āwell you arenāt leavingā āI got hot spotā you pulled out your phone, only to get it snatched, you had your Apple Watch on, ādonāt evenā āoh Iām going toā āI donāt wanna break itā āfine then, letās talkā you gave up, sitting up straight, taking off the watch and throwing it at his head.
āOkay- whatever, anyways talkā āyou wanted to talk! Not me!ā āAlright then! Can you tell me what hurt your feelings?ā āI be-ā āspit it out, stop being hard headed for fucks sakeā you sighed, crossing your arms. āWhat hurt my feelings is that you- i- we donāt talk anymore all we do is just sleep around, I miss you Thomas, not your dĆÆck, I miss you, I miss the talks over tea and the you coming to my modeling. If you want to have sex I get it but why almost every other week? I feel like you collect all of your shit and use sex to get out of it, I donāt want to be the one you do that toā āshit y/n, I donāt want you to feel that way, I donāt do that nor feel that way- now that Iām noticing it I am doing something wrong to make you feel that wayā he frowned, coming closer to you and sitting next to you, taking your hand. āI can make you feel better I promise, Iāll do anything you want me to doā he kissed your hand, you looking at him and your hand. He trails up to your neck, not going to your sweet spot but everywhere else then it, you let out small hisses and shuddered. āI-ā you cut yourself off by a moan, his hands finding its way to your thigh āI wonāt cup you if you donāt like it, Iāll do things for you, I really donāt want you to feel that wayā he whispered, rubbing your thighs and breathing on your neck and your jaw, still moaning from the hand on your thigh. āYou can be my pillow princess, you wonāt have to do anything because I will, Iāll make you happyā āpromise?ā āYeah i do, let me pleasure you, pleaseā he then looked at you, lips so close you could almost feel them on yours, eye contact, so deep making it feel like your exchanging souls, the lust and love in both of your eyes, just now exposing you have feelings for each other.
His hand on you thigh raising to your underwear, pulling them down as he gave a kiss to you. āCan we take this off?ā He asked, his other hand coming up to your chest, rubbing over each of your breasts and you whimper and nod.
He smiles, knowing your dying by his touch, all he had to do really his make sure he is your bitch at first, but this time he really wanted to have sex, not a fwb sex, there is a difference.
Your back lifts as he finished to take down your lacy white underwear, soaked. āDo I make you like this?ā He asked, holding them up wanting you to look at them and you only nodded at him. āLook at it princess, look at the things I do to you, how wet you get when I touch you, you were probably wet the minute I even came close to you, yeah darling?ā He bit his lip, taking your underwear and stuffing it in his back pocket. āOpen upā he tasks and you follow, opening up your legs revealing your sweet angel smell. āI can smell you, itās fucking perfectā he murmured, wrapping his hand around your back and unzipping the dress, pulling it down until your breasts were on display. āI wish I could take the whole thing off, but I donāt want us to get caughtā he smiled, wetting his thumb with his tongue and rubbing over your nipple, he maintains eye contact with you, feeling your chest deeper as you breath in and out.
You could feel your clit wanting stimulation, slowly reaching your hand down you softly rub over pearl, letting out whimpers as Tom watched. āTouching yourself darling?ā He lifted the dress, revealing you touching yourself, his hand came off your nipple and just watched you pleasure yourself, āmmā you bit your lip, your eyes getting slightly clouded. āFaster, for meā he said, now getting on his knees, standing infront of your womanhood, you start to speed up, Tom pushing your legs open more. āBuck your hips downā he ordered, you followed, a moan escaping your lips as Tom spit on you. āGood girlā he purred, kissing your calfās, you bit your lip to contain the moans, āstop what you doingā he said, making you stop your tracks, he took your hand and suck the wetness off, smiling up at you and coming in between your legs, kissing your clit. āI want you to watch me princess, lift up that dressā you lifted up the poofs, meeting his eyes and he smiled āready?ā āReadyā you nodded. He took a strip of you, your folds open from your legs, your back arched, holding in to your knees, he kitty licked your pearl, you whining as you held tighter hearing the sounds as everything else was silent, he then harshly sucked you, āah! Fuck tommyā you bit your lip humming, trying to open them more. His tongue trailed down to your slit and entered, fucking you with it, the texture of his tongue rubbing against your walls, feeling so good, he brings up his fingers, taking his tongue out and replacing it with his fingers, so wet and warm, easy to slip in. āMmmā he pressed on your clit with his tongue, harsh circles and quick sucks, shaking his head side to side your breathing became heavier, him fucking you faster and your hand going down, running your fingers through his hair, tugging as he moaned in you, āmm!ā You moaned louder, his name spilling out your mouth as you released. He lapped up some of your come, wanting to leave the rest.
He left your heat, on his knees still he unbuckled his pants ādid you know you taste so good?ā He asked, pulling himself out, thick and a bit over circumcised, precum on his head, āplease fuck meā you whined, one organism not enough. āI hear yaā his knees in between your legs, he pumped himself before placing it in you, not wasting time. āFuckā he whispered, bottoming himself in you and pulling out, just to go inside again. His hand came behind the head of the seat, fucking himself deeper and snapping his hips āTom!ā āYes baby?ā āMmmā āthatās what i like to hearā he smiled, mostly to himself, looking at your dazed state, your eyes filled with so many things. After getting comfy he started to speed up, your body rocking with his, you grab his arms, digging in his skin as he hissed and fucked you harder making you let out a harsh moan. āLike that?ā He asked, getting close to your spot. āFuck tommy yes, I love it- ah!ā He hit your spot, noticing the differences you made he continued fucking that spot, taking both hands and putting them behind the head of the seat he slammed into you, harder, faster, fuck itās everything you want, everything you need, the skin slapping on skin, him hitting your spot and looking at you like a goddess, he moaned as you clenched so close, so so close.
Until the door opened āwhat the fuck-ā zendaya said, you quickly covered your breasts, looking over and seeing her eyes wide, Jacob behind her just starring at both of you, Tom kinda pissed because he was just there. āSo uhm, Iām kinda hungry but I guess Iāll just take like a Uber or somethingā Jacob cleared his throat, couldnāt see this any longer. āCanāt we just drive the limo and leave them back here?ā Zendaya distantly asked, closing the door. āI thought you locked it!ā You whipped your head at Thomas. āThe keys are in my front pocket! Iām guessing you accidentally pressed the button with your thigh!ā He whispered. āMe!?ā āYes youā āThomas get upā ācan you just ride me because I really want to cum right nowā you sighed as you nodded, him flipping both of you over. You rode him until both of you came, pressing kisses on your neck the car started moving. āWhat is happening?ā āWERE GOING TO BURGER KING BITCHES!ā Zendaya let out āwhoosā and Jacob laughed. āHow long were we out here?ā āFor a whileā Tom nodded, a bump causing both of you to moan, you get off of him and grab baby wipes to clean both of you up, donāt worry thereās a window separator, they canāt see you.
āYou donāt get your panties back, there mine nowā he smiled at you while you tried to fix your hair and your makeup. āHereās some fabreeze! Might want to open the window while your at itā Jacob opened the window, throwing fabreeze in the back and Tom opened the window, letting the sex air out as both of you were dazed kinda, breath still heavy.

Hi! I love waking up in the morning to find my feed filled with your writing! Youāre so good! I was wondering if you can write a zuko x female reader based on the song āEasy as all thatā by Miniature Tigers? That song gives me major pining!zuko vibes. Hope your day/night is going well! :)
Oh my goodness, this literally melted my heart! š„ŗ Thank you so so much! Also I would love to do a song request! I think that idea is so cool! I hope you enjoy!

Crazy About You (Zuko x Reader)
Warnings: none
Genre: Fluff
Part: 1/1
Summary: See request
ā¢ā¢ā¢
When Zuko invaded the Southern Water Tribe, he had expected to find the Avatar. What he did not expect to find was you.
You were absolutely fearless, not hesitating to attack him when he threatened you. You were also incredibly talented at fighting. Without even breaking a sweat, you were able to beat him in a fight. Your water bending was powerful. You were clearly a beginner, but that didnāt matter. Your sheer power was enough to knock him off his feet.
Not to mention you were undeniably beautiful. Of course, nothing could ever come of it. You were enemies. Destined to fight each other until the end of time. He had no choice but to repress the feelings you gave him down into oblivion.
Admittedly, he wasnāt very good at it though. Everytime you guys went head to head he would always be careful not to hurt you. He even purposefully let you escape sometimes. Not that you needed him to. He knew you were perfectly capable of taking care of yourself.
There had been multiple times he went back and forth about confessing his feelings for you. He knew they were wrong and that you would obviously be disgusted, which made him want to keep his mouth shut. But on the other hand, his Uncle had once told him that being honest about your feelings is better than hiding them. Maybe if he told you then he could finally get rid of them.
He shook his head. Right now was not the time to be thinking about you. His nerves about seeing you again made him distracted, but he needed to practice his speech. Not get flustered over a girl.
He straightened up and looked at the badger frog who was sitting on the log in front of him. He took a deep breath before starting.
āHello, Zuko here. But I guess you probably already know me....sort of,ā he trailed off, rubbing his head sheepishly.
This was not a good start.
āUh, so, the thing is, I have a lot of firebending experience and Iām considered to be pretty good at it. Well, youāve seen me....You know, when I was attacking you?ā he asked, quickly realizing that was probably not the best thing to bring up, āUh, yeah, I guess I should apologize for that.ā
Not a good start at all.
āB-But anyway, Iām good now. I mean, I thought I was good before, but now I realize I was bad. But anyways...,ā he sighed, realizing this was not going to be easy, āI think itās time I joined your group and taught the Avatar firebending.ā
There was a beat of silence as the badger frog croaked.
āThat wasnāt bad, but I would probably tweak a few things.ā
I spun around in shock to see her leaning against a tree behind me. She had a basket in her hand that was full of fish. She must have been hunting food down for the group. I looked at her cautiously, unsure if she was going to attack me or not.
āItās a good infiltration plan I have to say, although none of us are stupid enough to believe it after everything youāve put us through,ā she continued, pushing herself up off the tree and coming closer.
āI-Itās not- Iām not-ā I tried to say, my words getting stuck in my mouth as she came closer.
āWhy else would you be practicing your speech? Usually people who are genuine donāt need to rehearse what theyāre saying,ā she argued, standing a mere few inches away from me.
I blushed in embarrassment and crossed my arms over my chest.
āIām not exactly a people person. It usually helps to practice beforehand,ā I mumbled.
āPrince Zuko of the Fire Nation? Shy? I donāt believe it for a second. Although youāre a good actor,ā she insisted, her glare so intense I felt like she was looking inside my soul.
āI didnāt even know you were there! Why would I be acting for myself?ā I exclaimed, my blush growing as my embarrassment doubled.
She seemed to hesitate to take in my point. She took a step backwards and looked at me in shock.
āYouāre being serious,ā she said in disbelief.
āYes. Iām being serious,ā I huffed, finally looking back at her.
I immediately regretted it. She looked beautiful and I felt paralyzed to the spot as she looked at me. Her gaze had softened when she realized I wasnāt joking about joining the Avatar and her stance had relaxed significantly. The way the sun shone on her and glimmered in her eyes-
āWhat are you looking at?ā she asked, looking over her shoulder for something that wasnāt there.
āOh! Uh....nothing. I just uh- I thought I saw something,ā I replied, my whole face going red in embarrassment at being caught staring.
She looked at me once more before sighing. She grabbed my arm and began dragging me behind her.
āCome on, then. If youāre really serious I can convince them to believe you,ā she said.
āR-Really? You would do that? Iāve given you no reason to trust me,ā I responded, shocked that she had believe me so easily.
āBecause youāve always let me go. You never really attacked me and I know you could have if you wanted to. Thereās good in you somewhere,ā she answered.
Her response made me more flustered that I was before. My stomach flipped as she spoke and I could feel my cheeks heat up. Did she really notice I was going easy on her? And did she know why?
I didnāt ask any of the questions I had. I just followed after her as she led me down to the group. They had all been horrified to see her dragging me behind her and they went to attack, but she held them off. She let me explain myself and, despite some rough patches, got them to accept me as a prisoner.
It was clear to me then how much trust the gaang had in her. She stood by my side even after I accidentally told them I sent an assassin after them and she had been able to convince them to let me stay. They clearly didnāt want me to, but they agreed because she asked them to. Even though she wasnāt related to any of them, they treated her like family. They trusted her with their lives.
She truly was special.
It wasnāt until after I saved the group from Combustion Man that they began to trust me on my own. Aang and Toph were almost immediately on board with me while Sokka and Katara were more hesitant. But Y/N was by far my #1 supporter and grew to be my best friend. She did everything in her power to help me gain the groupās trust.
She accompanied Aang and I to the ancient Sun Warriorās temple. She helped me break Sokkaās dad and girlfriend out of prison. She even tracked down Katara and Sokkaās momās killer with me. All to get me to trust them.
And everything she did just made it harder for me to repress my feelings for her. Her laugh sent butterflies off in my stomach. Her smile made my heart ache. Her kindness made me feel things I had never felt before. And there were countless times I had been caught staring at her.
Pretty much everybody could see I was desperately head over heels for her. But I was still fighting myself over wether to tell her or not. I really wanted to tell her. Especially now that we had become friends, it could be possible. But there was always a tiny voice in my head that told me I would never be good enough for her. It told me that I wouldnāt be able to treat her the way she deserved. That she deserved someone worthy of her and that I clearly wasnāt.
That was the battle I had within myself everytime I saw her and now was not an exception to that.
Sokka had convinced us all to go see a play about ourselves. I had originally been against the idea until I saw how excited Y/N was to go. I immediately agreed after that. Now, she was sitting right next to me as we waited for the play to start.
My heart was pounding out of my chest. She was so close to me that if I moved even an inch to the right we would be touching. Her hand brushed against mind as she talked with Katara, spending sparks through my arm. She had no idea how crazy she drove me.
āZuko, are you ok?ā Aang asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
āHuh?...Oh! Y-Yea. Just nervous about the play,ā I lied.
Luckily, Aang was gullible. That or he decided to spare me the embarrassment of pressing the issue. Either way, he let it go. Pretty soon, the play had started. Everybody was pissed with how their chatacter was portrayed except Y/N. She was displayed as head strong and independent, constantly shown beating stage me in our fights. To be fair, that part was incredibly accurate. Plus, her excitement over her portrayal was enough to make me forget my annoyance about how state me was portrayed.
The play itself was kind of terrible. The storyline was skewed and the relationships between everyone felt off. It was annoying, but bearable. At least she was happy. After a brief intermission, the play continued. I was thoroughly bored up until the scene in the crystal catacombs. At that point, Iām pretty sure my heart stopped beating.
āI have to admit Prince Zuko, I really find you attractive,ā Actress Katara said.
āYou donāt have to make fun of me!ā Actor Zuko snapped in response.
āBut I mean it. Iāve had eyes for you since you first captured me,ā Actress Katara cooed.
āWait. I thought you were the Avatarās girl?ā Actor Zuko asked in confusion.
āThe Avatar? Why heās like a little brother to me,ā Actress Katara said through fits of laughter, āI certainly donāt think of him in a romantic way.ā
āWell, thatās too bad for you. Iāve only ever had eyes on Y/N,ā Actor Zuko exclaimed, turning to face Actress Y/N who was watching from the side.
Everyone turned to look at me and I shrunk into my seat. Thank Agni the theatre was dark otherwise they would clearly see the blush covering my face.
āYou like me?ā Actress Y/N asked with a laugh.
āYour beauty and power is alluring. Youāve had my heart since the day I met you,ā Actor Zuko said, taking Actress Y/Nāa hands in his.
I could feel everyoneās eyes on me as I hid my face in my hood. I desperately wanted this scene to be over.
Oh how I would soon regret that wish.
Actress Y/N laughed uncontrollably. She even wiped a fake tear from her eyes when she was done.
āI could never like you!ā Actress Y/N exclaimed , pushing Actor Zuko away, āIām much to powerful for you. You disgust me. Youāre nothing but a monster. An obstacle in my way.ā
I felt my heart sink. Even though she hadnāt actually said those things, it hurt like she did. I needed to leave. I saw Aang getting up to leave and mumbled something about going with him before bolting out of the theatre.
I walked outside the theatre as I thought over everything that had happened. I scolded myself for ever allowing myself to feel things for her. What Actress Y/N had said was probably true. How could she ever see me as anything other than a monster? She was much better than I ever could be, not to mention everything Iād put her and her friends through.
I sat down at the beach that was across from the theatre. I groaned as I let myself lean against the rocks. I cursed under my breath. How did I let myself get so worked up over a stupid play. A stupid play about stupid-
āHey.ā
My heart dropped into my stomach. I felt like I was going to be sick from nerves. I opened my eyes and looked to the side to see Y/N sitting next to me in the sand. I looked up at the stars to avoid her gaze.
āHi,ā I forced myself to say.
āYou seemed upset when you stormed out of the theatre, so I wanted to come check on you,ā she explained, placing a hand on my shoulder.
Her touch sent a shock across my whole body. Even just her touch drove me wild. I was properly and thoroughly whipped.
āIām fine,ā I insisted, still not looking at her.
āYou wouldnāt have stormed off if something didnāt upset you,ā she argued, scooting even closer to me.
Spirits, I wanted nothing more than to pull her close to me and never let go. To her over and over again. I forced myself to stop thinking about how close she was. I needed to forget about it. It would never happen. Ever.
āIs it because of what Actress Me said?ā she asked.
āI...ā I went to deny it, but couldnāt come up with something to say, so I simply sighed.
āZuko, you know I donāt see you as a monster, right?ā she assured me, squeezing my shoulder as she did.
āWhy not?ā I exclaimed, finally looking at her as I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces, āAfter everything Iāve done to you and your friends, why donāt you hate me?ā
She seemed taken aback at my sudden outburst before her expression softened once more. She let her hand drop from my shoulder and instead took my hand in hers. She gave me a soft smile as she squeezed it.
āBecause youāre a good person who got handed a terrible hand of cards to start your life with. I donāt blame you for struggling. I think that makes you an even better person, actually. It means youāre not afraid to work for whatās right, even if itās hard,ā she explained.
I couldnāt stop myself anymore. She looked radiant in the moonlight and her speech was enough to make my heart explode. I reacted before I could think twice about it. I let my free hand cup her face and pressed my lips onto hers. They were soft and warm and everything I had imagined and more.
But then the realization of what I had just done crashed down on me and I snapped myself back. I stared at her shocked face in horror. Oh Agni what had I done?
āI-Iām so sorry. I donāt know what I was thinking. Oh spirits, I-ā I began apologizing before I was muffled by her lips crashing into mine.
I was surprised that she was kissing me, but that didnāt stop me from kissing back. My heart swelled with joy as I kissed her back, letting my hand cup her cheek softly. When she finally pulled away, she rested her forehead against mine.
āI was wondering how long it was going to take you to do that,ā she giggled.
āW-What?ā I asked, clearly confused as to what she meant.
āZuko, youāre not very good at hiding your feelings,ā she teased, causing me to get flustered once again.
She laughed as I began to blush profusely. I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly as I pulled away from her. I felt her hand on my face and then a soft peck on my cheek.
āYouāre so cute when youāre embarrassed,ā she said, a huge grin plastered on her face.
I felt my face grow hotter as my blush grew more intense, but I couldnāt stop myself from smiling back at her. She stood up and held a hand down for me to take.
āCome on. The intermission will be over soon and everyone will be wondering where we are,ā she said.
I grabbed her hand and let her help me on to my feet. She laced her fingers with mine and walked beside me all the way back to the theatre.
The rest of the play sucked. It was probably one of the worst ones they had ever out on. And yet, despite that, I had never been happier. Y/N made me happier than I had ever been before. Looking back, I really should have just come clean about my feelings. But I wouldnāt change it. The way it went down was perfect to me.
Who knew it would be as easy as all that?

I had a headcanon where Shuichi was a girl idol when he was like 8-10(?) Now i cant get it out of my head. It is stuck-
Idk what to name it so i guess ill call it LIAU (Lil' Idol AU) for now. This is a non despair au keep that in mind. The pairing here is mainly oumasai. But it is fine if you wanna use this headcanon for your pairing.
Here storyline:
One day his mother (actress) wanted to try making him an celebrity. So she and her husband tried to audition him as one. But he had a sort of stage fright at the first audition and was not accepted. His mother was quite stubborn about her idea and wanted him to experience the life on tv (She actually would stop if Shuichi said no but he just wanted her to be happy so he just follow what she wants [she is not a dickhead don't worry lmao]). She then got an idea of him cross-dressing as a girl, an idol. As usual he accepted, when he first put it on, he kind of liked it, wearing skirts and make ups (eyeliners are his favourites and was stuck with it even after he stopped dancing and such). He sees his idol persona as a mask. Because of this he felt confident in doing things he wanted because no one would know him (other than his family and manager). He auditioned on a tv show and it sort of worked out-
That tv show he audition on is called Little Stars that went on for 4 years. The shows is centered around 5 idol kids, the leader Lina, and the members Miya, Ryo, Aiko and Hina. His idol persona, Miya, was the most favourite among the audience. Things that made her famous are her shyness, being a mood or being relateable af, boldness at stating her opinion, the fact that she is a good singer and dancer, and her cuteness is what captivated the audience. With the show famous internationally the amount of fans she has was- a lot.
Because of this he was a celebrity at the time just like how his mother wants him to be and they went on tours to sing, dance and others. (He was also scouted by hopes peak but they didn't had a chance to invite him) He also appeared in other tv shows, movies, interviews, etc. Shuichi honestly didn't mind it although it stresses him out in some cases. Few things he learned when he was an idol was singing, dancing, violin, gymnastics, calligraphy, judo- (In my au he is a natural talent, he can learn things he is interested in at a fast rate but didn't have a courage to show it.)
Around the age of 10 his parents soon lost interest in him since they find other things more interesting, leaving him with his uncle. After noticing his parents aren't around anymore, he didn't feel the need to continue. So, he immediately stopped being an idol. The world was on fire when she suddenly disappeared although it died down after a couple of months where Miya posted a video apology saying she cant go on anymore because this was not the job she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Her fans respect her decision although there are some who objected to it. (they do be crying)
An so Shuichi abandoned his persona Miya and retired being an idol after 2 years. Although he felt he is going to miss it - he truly did and move on with his life living with his uncle. When he first sees his uncle job he felt pretty normal but as time goes on he became more and more fascinated by it. His uncle then invited him as his assistant where he accepted. And this and that happened shakaiwoajq, now he is the ultimate detective in 79th class.
Then this festival came up and the class decided to do a musical show - Kaede was the one that suggested it lol. Then it all went downhill-
__
Lol i might make part 2 since its kind off spoilers if i did it (totally not because i dont know how it will go). Tho im sure miya will somehow make a appearance in the stage. Im just not sure how she got there baha.
This au is a branch or another version of my other au called Unknown Identities Au. I'll make a post about it in the future. You may drop some questions. Tho dont expect me to answer all of them ahah-
Im so bad at tags

Updated K-drama list (3)
4 more shows DONE and thereās been some changes to the rankings...
FAVOURITES
1. Crash Landing on You
Heās from North Korea. Sheās from South Korea. They never should have met, but theyāll change each otherās lives.
This was my first K-drama, and its still my favourite. The full cast of characters is great, the lead romance is ANGSTALICIOUS and its genuinely, laugh out loud funny (when its not making you cry or swoon).
Male lead: Officially the best boyfriend ever. With added dimples.
Tear-jerk factor: 4/5
2. Healer
The lives, and pasts, of a hot shot reporter, a spunky young tabloid journalist and a mysterious thief-for-hire intersect.
This was so addictive - the plot was tight and engaging, and this is one of the few shows Iāve watched where there didnāt seem to be a lot of filler. I loved the central 3 characters, and the romance was amazing. I especially loved that the male lead started off such a brooding loner, but he became super-affectionate as soon as he admitted his feelings. So many good hugs and lots of face-cradling in this one.
Male lead: Effortlessly beats up 2 henchmen while comforting his girl over the phone. What more do you need?
Tear-jerk factor: 1/5
3. Itaewon Class
A young manās life is forever altered when he runs afoul of a powerful family.
This felt like a big step up in quality from everything else in this list, in terms of the production, soundtrack (which was brilliant), the lack of annoying sound effects, and just the overall āreal worldā feel of the show. All of the characters were fleshed out and 3-dimensional, and they all had their āmomentā to shine. The story itself was gripping and so well done - some of the twists and reveals had me gasping! And what can I say about the 2 leads? I love them, both separately, and together. He is so wise beyond his years, and his journey will break your heart and inspire you. She is borderline sociopathic, but I adore her.
Male lead: Tenacious, principled, kind, innocent, caring, driven, loyalā¦and he can cook!
Tear-jerk factor: 2/5
4. Descendants of the Sun
A special forces Captain meets a capable and beautiful trauma surgeon. They feel an instant bond, but their jobs and philosophy on life get in the way, threatening to tear them apart.
Halfway through this show, I seriously thought this might overtake CLOY as my No. 1 fav. I absolutely LOVE the male lead character, and the romance was beautifulā¦but it didnāt quite nail the angst and the last minute was a bit twee which dropped it down the rankings a bit.
Male lead: A cocky, charming, absolute BADASS with the most adorable, cheeky smile.
Tear-jerk factor: 2/5
5. My Holo Love
A lonely woman falls for a holographic AI and then meets his creator...
I love the concept of this show (Iām a big sci-fi nerd), and it was beautifully shot. The lead relationship is well developed and it doesnt fall into a typical love triangle. Iāve come to realise it utilises a lot of K-drama tropes (face-blindness! shared childhood trauma!), but it does it really well, imho.
Male lead: Tortured loner genius. My catnip.
Tear-jerk factor: 2/5
6. Goblin
A 900yr old immortal guardian finally meets the ābrideā who will end his existence
Once I got over the slight ick-factor of the age difference between the two characters at the beginning, I really fell for this show and itās world. It had me in tears. And I especially loved the secondary character of the Grim Reaper.
Male lead: Surprising innocent and funny for a 900 year old
Tear-Jerk factor: 5/5
7. Whatās Wrong with Secretary Kim
An personal assistant decides to quits her job in order to get a life. Her boss has other ideas.
I loved the female lead in this - Iām a sucker for uber-competent people, and the actress is STUNNING. Her boss is self-centred, entitled and vain...but over time, somehow that just becomes endearing! This show also has lots of very good kissing scenes...and when he started to unbutton her shirt during one encounter, I was SCANDALISED (did I mention these shows are usually very PG!!)
Male lead: Like I said, somehow makes vanity and narcissism endearing. Also not afraid to get his shirt off and flash his 6-pack. Bonus.
Tear-Jerk factor: 0/5
8. Legend of the Blue Sea
A mermaid comes onto land to find the man she loves
The (literal) fish-out-of-water scenes in the first half of this show were hilarious - the actress is a comic genius! The romance was nicely done, and there wasnāt a lot of extraneous plot or too many characters. I couldnāt stop watching this one!
Male lead: Cocky, arrogant conman with a soft mushy centre
Tear-Jerk factor: 1/5
9. Fight for my Way
Two life-long friends decide to go after their dreams
I found this during my Park Seo Joon binge and, even though I fast-forwarded large chunks of it (I wasnāt interested in the secondary couple at all), it still made my favourite list because I love the leads - both as separate characters and as a couple. This is one of the best friends-to-lovers stories Iāve seen, mainly because you truly buy that these 2 have known each other their entire lives (their Ā bickering and teasing feels so natural). And then when they take the next step, theyāre so affectionate and refreshingly open with their feelings.
Male lead: I love his contradictions. Heās goofy and childishā¦but can really turn on the sexy charm; heās a badass MMA fighterā¦who loves when his girlfriend sticks up for him and protects him.
Tear-jerk factor: 0.5/5
10. Suspicious Partner
A young, hardworking lawyer has her life turned upside down when she is put on trial for murder.
This has been officially bumped up to my favourites list - partly because Iām now a massive Ji Chang Wook fan, and partly because Iāve rewatched scenes with better subtitiles and it made everything10x better. Its still overly long, but the serial killer plot had some nice twists and it was central to the story, so it didnāt feel extraneous like some of these types of plots do. I really enjoyed the central romance - the 2 characters sparked off each other well and I loved their evolution from sort-of enemies to lovers.
Male lead: Its Ji Chang Wook! Heās so good at playing serious guys who are secretly big dorks
Tear-jerk factor: 0.5/5
Notable mentions
These are shows which I completed and enjoyed but they didnāt set my world on fire. Usually because they were overly long, or the plot got in the way of the characters/love story. Ā
1. The K2
An ex-mercenary takes a job as a bodyguard protecting the illegitimate daughter of a politician. A sort-of Snow White retelling.
This started off really well, with some amazing fight sequences (hello, shower room scene!). However, the back half became too bogged down in double crosses and manipulations, and it focussed too much on the politicians. The writers did well to give these characters some layers, but they were all essentially doing bad things for the wrong reasons, and I just didnāt care about them. The show was much better when it was following K2ās journey. The romance also started off well, but was a bit underdeveloped (mainly because they barely interacted).
2. I Am Not a Robot
A man who is allergic to human contact finds companionship with a robotā¦or does he?
I honestly thought I wouldnāt make it passed a couple of episodes of this - the concept was just too ridiculous. But Iām glad I perservered, because it developed some real depth and some proper good angst towards the end.
3. My Love from the Star
Alien stranded on earth meets an actress soon before heās due to be rescued.
I finally gave this another chance, and Iām glad I did. The female lead got a LOT less irritating, and I enjoyed the present-day romance and all the flashes back to the past. However, the ending was really abrupt and disappointing (which kept it out of my favourite list). There should have been 1 less filler episode in the middle, and a decent, fleshed out finale instead.
4. Her Private Life
A talented art curator tries to keep her professional persona separate from her fangirl obsession with a pop idol.
This was cute and I loved the central relationship - he was so supportive of her, and their interactions were refreshingly mature and their banter felt really natural. Ultimately, it was a bit forgettable (Iām not dying to rewatch any of it), and the last minute tacked-on childhood trauma subplot was really unnecessary.
5. Strong Girl Bong-Soon
A woman with inherited super-strength gets a job as a bodyguard for an eccentric young CEO
The lead couple in this are AD-OR-ABLE and I loved their relationship. But there was a weird tone issue in this show. The romance is super cute...but thereās a whole dark sub plot involving multiple women being held captive by a psychopath. I ended up fast forwarding most of that, and just concentrated on the romance.
6. Touch Your Heart
Star actress rocked by scandal works at a law firm to prepare for her comeback role
This starred the secondary couple from Goblin and I really like them, even though they are playing very different characters in this (more opposites attract, than doomed lovers). At first I found this too ācutesyā, but Iāve since realised the sound effects/graphics are a K-drama thing and not unique to this show, so Iām not as down on it as I was. I still had to fast forward a lot of the secondary romances which I wasnāt invested in.
The othersā¦
1. Hyde, Jekyll and Me
A woman becomes involved in the lives of 2 men, who share one body
This stars Hyun Bin from CLOY and he is sooo watchable, especially as the slick-haired, glasses-wearing, uptight Seo-Jin. And the show started well...but quickly went off the rails into a convoluted, dragged-out revenge plot.
2. Melting Me Softly
Two people are accidentally cryogenically frozen for 20 years. They have to navigate the modern world and their new lives together.
Another good concept, but it ultimately descended into little more than a light work-place romance. Had a couple of good kissing scenes, but it was overall a bit forgettable.
And the DNF:
My Secret Romance
I started watching this because I was looking for something a little less PG - the characters have a one night stand in the first episode! But I couldnāt get passed the bad acting and cheap production.
Masterās Sun
I liked the premise but the 2 leads werenāt very attractive (at least in comparison to the insanely beautiful actors/actresses in the shows listed above). Call me superficial, but I couldnāt see myself spending 17 hours watching them and willing them to kiss.
#kdrama#cloy#healer#descendants of the sun#itaewon class#suspicious partner#legend of the blue sea#fight for my way#what's wrong with secretary kim#melting me softly#hyde jekyll me#touch your heart#her private life#strong girl bong soon#i am not a rob#my love from the star

Dinner with the in-laws
Adrien's first dinner with Marinette's parents since they officially got together. A lot of puns ensues. As usual, you can read it on Ao3 here.
This was the fic I wrote for my application for the Totographs zine, but I didn't get picked, but I'm proud of myself for applying! Once again, beware, lots of puns ahead.Ā
P.S. I won't be writing fanfics during November since I'm attempting Nanowrimo for the first time! It might not have been the best idea since I still have my classes, but I'll manage.
Edit: Thanks @komorebirei for beta-ing and their insightful tips.
Ā Ā As Adrien stands in front of the door to Marinetteās home, the bouquet he got for her feels heavy and useless. He has already given so many roses to her, but they feel meaningless compared to how grateful he is to still have her in his life. Her parents must know how amazing she is ā theyāll be disappointedā¦
Ā Ā Heās hit by flashbacks to the events that led to Tom being akumatized into Weredad. Coming to the bakery after a lonely breakfast. The grey gloomy sky. The awkward kissing Marinette on the cheeks. The pink rose. Admitting he loved Ladybug, Ladybug and not Marinette, an irony Plagg kept teasing him about now that he was fully aware of her identity. Marinette being too good of an actress at being hurt. The enormous tower of vines with the angry beast on top protecting his princess. Ladybug only appearing at the end when everything was crumblingā¦
Ā Ā Even though Nino assured him it was casual enough, yet fancy, and that Marinette would like itāa light green buttoned shirt, with only the top two buttons undone, and dark jeansāAdrien feels like heās underdressed. Plagg phases through his shirt and looks him in the eyes.
āJust press the doorbell! Iām starving and I canāt wait to see Sugarcube!ā
āPlagg, what if I mess up again? What if they hate me?ā
Ā Ā Adrien starts fidgeting with the bouquet in his hands. He wipes his sweaty palms on his pants.
āHow could they hate you? Iām pretty sure Pigtails couldnāt hate you.ā
āBut, what ifā¦ā
Ā Ā The kwami presses the doorbell and returns to his warm pocket while dread fills Adrien. He hears the steps creak lightly as someone comes down to open the door. Is it Tom? No probably notāheās heavier and the steps would creak more. Maybe Sabine? She can also be very scary when she wants toā¦
Ā Ā The door opens and relief floods his body at the sight of his lady, princess, and girlfriend. Marinette is wearing a pink dress with a black jacket. He didnāt fail to notice the small cat paws and the kitty she embroidered on the jacket. The dress is fairly simple to the casual eye, but having been raised in the fashion industry for so long, he recognizes all the hard work she put into the hems and her trademark flower motif. Her black hair, free from the usual pigtails, cascades in waves over her right shoulder. Ā
āYou lookā¦ beautiful,ā are the only words that escape his lips.
āThank you, you look great too!ā
āSoā¦ These are for you!ā he says, extending the flowers to her.
āThank you! Theyāre pretty...ā She leans her head into the bouquet, smelling its perfume. āThey smell amazing too! Letās go upstairs so I can put them in some water.ā
Ā Ā Adrien follows her as they enter the apartment over the bakery. Delicious scents hit him as they step inside. Except for the usual sweets from the bakery, he can smell a plethora of aromas he is not familiar with. An overly excited Tom practically bounces to him, followed by Sabine, who looks more calm and composed. Adrien swears the man is about to burst from how much he is shaking and buzzing with energy. He kisses Sabineās cheek and extends his hand to shake Tomās, who gladly accepts.
āWelcome, Adrien, weāre glad you could make it! We could not wait to meet the young man that stole our little daughterās heart.ā
āThe pleasureās all mine! Thank you for having me for dinner.ā
Ā Ā Once Tom let go of his hand, it instinctively went to rub the back of his neck, his usual tic when heās nervous. Fear fills him as the manās eyes grow big like saucers when a ray of light hits his ring, making it shine a little. Does he recognize him as Chat Noir? Marinette looks at him, unsure of what to make of her fatherās reaction.
Ā Ā He then turns and picks up Sabine. He whirls her before doing a pirouette himself.
āOur little daughter is engaged! She proposed to Adrien! We need to prepare the wedding cake, itāll be the best Paris has ever seen!ā
āTom, dearā¦ā Sabine says, trying to bring back her husband to Earth, with no success.
āWhat?ā is the only word that escapes Adrienās mouth.
Ā Ā āIs it another case of Oblivio?ā Adrien asks himself. āLast time I checked, we were only datingā¦ā He realizes at the same time as Marinette what gave Tom the idea, but sheās quicker to react. He thought that Adrienās miraculous was an engagement ring. Though, itās not on the correct handā¦
āWeāre not engaged, Papa!!ā shouts Marinette, calming her father. āThe ringās, umā¦ā
āIt was from my mother, itās not a wedding ring. Not that I would mind being engaged to Marinette, sheās amazing and any guy or girl would be crazy to turn her down. I mean, Iād gladly propose to her, but I donāt want to go too fast and Iād rather have your blessing beforeā¦ā
Ā Ā He is stopped by a hand on his arm. Sabine looks up sweetly at him, just like she did with Chat Noir all those years ago.
āItās okay, dear, we know you love our daughter very muchāitās obvious in your eyes. Tom just tends to get ahead of things. That poor Chat Noir, I hope he wasnāt too traumatized.ā
āI donāt think he isā¦ā Adrien shyly replies.
Ā Ā Since he arrived a bit early, Adrien offers to help make dinner. Considering his lack of ability in the kitchen, he gets vegetable duty, since itās pretty straightforward and he wonāt risk ruining the meal with a beginnerās mistake by putting in too much spice or causing a fire.
āYou know, I canāt believe no one ever taught you to cookābut at the same time, knowing your father, it does make sense.ā
āYeah, I Ā carrot Ā believe it either. I guess he expected me to Ā stew Ā in the mansion and have a cook for my entire life.ā
āEven for you, that was pretty bad,ā she says, rolling her eyes. āFinish slicing them, itās nearly ready...ā
āI donāt know about that, young ladyāthereās always Ā thyme Ā for puns,ā replies Tom with a smirk, a fire lit in his eyes. āOnce youāre done Adrien, Iāll Ā knead Ā some fruits for dessert
āOf course! Would you help me, Ā gourdgeous Ā princess? We make the perfect Ā pear , after all.ā
āI think youāll be Ā apple Ā to do it yourself, my prince.ā
āAh, you leave me Ā floured Ā ! You know I only have Ā pies Ā for you.ā
āYouāre such a weirdoā¦ā
āMaybe, but Iām your Ā weirdough Ā and you Ā loaf Ā me.ā
āSee, Sabine, they were Ā baked Ā for each other. Iām sure Ā muffin Ā could break them apart.ā
Ā Ā A little bit later, once they are all sitting at the table, plates set and food served.
āThis is so delicious! I donāt think my chef has ever made me something this good!ā
āI doubt your chef would have cooked thisāitās not really suited for a modelās diet,ā Sabine says. āBut thank you. I could show you some recipes if you want.ā
āIād love that, Mrs. Cheng! Well, Iām Ā bacon Ā track now, Iām no longer following a diet as strict as before: no more drumsticks and crumbs. Ā Dough , I have to admit that I would have been Ā toasted Ā if my father had found me eating a meal like this.ā
āYou can call us Sabine and Tom, dear, no need to be so formal.ā
āIām glad to hear that! You sure could add more meat to those bones of yours,ā Tom adds jokingly.
āThe Ā yeast Ā he could have done was to let you see your friends more often,ā Marinette replies drily.
āItās okay, itās all behind us now. The Ā bread Ā of akumas, the Ā pain ā¦ā He adds, giving Marinette a slice of bread. She shakes her head, but still takes it.
āDoughnut Ā worry, son, youāll always be welcome here. I could show you the ropes of a bakerās job! I Ā croissant Ā your talent.ā
Ā Ā The rest of the main meal goes wellāmore puns, talking about their future and hopes. Adrien loved the fact that Tom and Sabine didnāt expect him to follow in his fatherās footsteps and take the reins of Gabriel, unlike almost everyone else in his life. Instead, they encouraged him when he said that he would need some time to figure out what he really wants to do with his life, to forge his own path.
Ā Ā As Marinette ices the cake, Adrien finishes slicing the fruits and placing them. His fingers are all sticky and stained from the juices, but heās the happiest heās ever been. He feels like heās part of a family, in a house filled with love, warmth, and fun. He dips his finger in some cream that has fallen from Marinetteās pouch. Sheās fully focussed on the task at hand, just like when she was figuring out an especially complicated lucky charm in a face-off with a strong akuma. He gets an idea. Itās a bit mischievous, but a good one.
Ā Ā Smirking, he carefully sneaks behind her, channeling his inner Chat Noir. Once heās close enough, he pokes her nose with his cream coated finger. She jerks back into his arms and squeezes the icing bag, making it explode. Their faces and clothes are covered with icing.
āCh-Adrien!ā
āSee, mā lady, I always told you that youāre Ā la crĆØme de la crĆØme Ā . Getting my miraculous was an Ā ameowzing Ā day in my life, but meeting you was the Ā icing on the cake ,ā he whispers in her ear.
āShh! Theyāll hear you!ā
Ā Ā Her scolding expression lingers for a bit longer, but she soon bursts out laughing.
āI canāt believe you! All this for puns?ā
āI felt like I needed to remind my girlfriend of how amazing she is...ā
Ā Ā Tom and Sabine turn the corner to the kitchen, taking in the mess the two made.
āWhat are you two Ā loafing Ā aboutā¦ Oh, thatās quite the mess, isnāt it?ā Tom asks, stopping in his tracks.
āGo change into your pyjamas, Iāll finish icing the cake in the meantime,āSabine sweetly adds, opening the fridge to get more icing.
Ā Ā As they walk past the counter to go change, Marinette picks a cherry and perches it on Adrienās nose.
āYou donāt need to remind me, Adrien, Iāll always Ā cherrysh Ā the Ā koalaty Ā time I get to spend with you.ā

Conversation
RP Meme from Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Bad Beginning: Part One"
If you are interested in stories with happy endings, then you would be better off somewhere else.
In this story, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but that's how the story goes.
Aren't you going to the Festive Fun Fair, with all the jolly rides and games and snacks?
It's gray and cloudy.
Let's get to work!
Can you show me what the specific issues are?
That'd be disappointing, I made them myself.
Of course, we still need the right projectile.
Maybe it makes more sense in the original French.
Could you find a rock that's not sandstone?
I'm curious to see if I can skip the rock as far with my left as I can with my right.
I don't mean to criticize, but standard scientific method calls for stable systematics.
Who's that mysterious figure?
It only seems scary because of all the mist.
If you have ever lost somebody very important to you, then you already know how it feels.
Nobody asked you.
The front page! Some people wait a lifetime for that.
That's gonna make a wonderful headline.
I remember how I was when I was your age.
Although I don't know who I think I'm kidding, because I have no inventive or mechanical skill whatsoever.
How lucky am I to have such unusual children in my life?
Please, come in, and mind you wipe your feet on the mat so you don't track in any mud.
Actually, I'm about to be rather wealthy.
Well, welcome to my humble home.
It does seem to need a little work.
I hope you'll be happy here.
I'll still check in on you occasionally.
It looks like a list.
Did you help around the house?
This is the kitchen, where you may help yourselves to meals.
I expect you to keep everything gleamingly clean.
The stove is a bit like a servant. You have to whack it sometimes to get it to work.
This is where I do all my reading.
I don't use the ballroom at all.
You'll have to redo the floors.
It has all the usual amenities, though the management regrets to inform you that the shampoo is not tear-free. If anything, it encourages tears.
Rats bite.
Out of all the numerous bedrooms in this enormous mansion, I have chose this one for your safety and comfort.
There's only one bed.
As you can see, I have provided, at no cost to you, this complimentary pile of rocks. Thoughts?
First of all, first impressions are often wrong.
Your first impression of me may be that I am a terrible person.
A tattoo is just a decorative pigment on skin. It's not a sign of a wicked person.
It's a mistake. It'll get sorted out.
There's a village in the Pacific Islands suspended on ropes above an active volcano.
Stay here. And not a peep.
You've done something different to your hair?
May I come in?
Is this about the children?
I apologize for the noise.
I told them to cry using their inside voices.
I'm not supposed to talk about it, but I can tell you that it involved an illegal use of someone's credit card and a poisonous plant.
Let me tell you, those children are monsters.
I live alone.
Wait here, for your own safety.
You missed a spot.
I never wanna use a toothbrush again.
Why aren't you cleaning?
Plan the menu, purchase the ingredients, prepare the food, set the table, serve dinner, clean up afterward, and stay out of our way.
It's a little greasy.
Money. Hard-earned money. The most important substance on earth besides applause and lip balm.
That was dismaying.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
It's mostly law books, but there are sections on everything from Italian cuisine to the world's most threatening fungus.
Do you have a paper and pencil to take notes?
These books look promising.
All we have to do is sautƩ garlics and onions in a pot, and then add olives, capers, anchovies, diced parsley and tomatoes to simmer.
Looked broken, but I think I can fix it.
What do we have here?
Is there a supermarket nearby?
I had dreams of becoming an actress, you know.
Who else has such robust good looks in such a large amount?
I'm handsome and I'm talented and love your bank account!
Oh, my God, what a very handsome knave.
Unbelievable good looks and brains and heart!
I'm very very smart
And as anyone in the theater knows, after a grand entrance, the audience is supposed to applaud.
All of the artistic and financial aspects of my career are finally coming together like two pieces of a bread in the middle of a sandwich.
I don't have time to learn a second language besides whatever it is I'm speaking right now.
You know, every time she talks, it's like the tines of a fork are being jammed into my eye
You've seen them perform. Would you call them actors?
Better than nothing.
Wow, that was quick.
Where's the roast beef?
You didn't tell us you wanted roast beef.
You can't go easy on children. They need to be taught to obey their elders.
That's what happens with wealthy kids. Money is really a corrupting influence.
You're a pretty little one.
This table is a mess.
There's hardly a place to put down a baby.
There are many, many things that are better than nothing.
Trouble and strife can cover this world like the dark of night, or like smoke from a suspicious fire.
I'm worried about the children.
We need to get to them.
We need to get out of here first.
The rat is noisy.

The Loud House Reviews: The Boss Maybe/ Family Bonding
`
Loud House weekly coverage continues as Leni is pushed into the deep end of responsiblity and taking over Loriās old role of babysitter while her parents are gone and promptly drowns in a sea of comedy clubs, human body parts both on screen and in the fridge, old men in holes and indoor beach volley ball.Ā
First things first: Last week I forgot to mention Rustyās mustache freezing off as god, wether it be the judeo-christian god, Odin, that prick Zeus, the flying spagehtti monster or one of many other gods out there. Perhaps all of them did it at once out of hatred for the little weiner. Maybe one of them finally answered my prayers which in that case, that was nice and all but there are far worse things going on iād prefer you took care of. Also theĀ āstuff I couldnāt fathomā turned out to be just more loudcest, because of course it did. Loudcest is like David Spade, you think itās finally gone or isnāt doing as much but then it comes around and makes the wrong missy and you waste 90 minutes of your life thinking iātd be so bad itās good when itās really just boring and a waste of itās main actress talent. I lost track of that metaphor, but Loudcest is like david spade in that people like it for reasons I canāt fathom and it hasnāt quietly faded into the background for reasons I canāt fathom, though at least david spade was funny once. So maybe Loudcest isnāt like david spade. or maybe iāve been taking too long with this bit.Ā
But whlie last week was a bit wonky it also had a lot to setup.. but now itās time to see what the show does with all the setup over, and a lot of new possiblities ahead. PItter Patter!
The Boss Maybe Ah now this is exactly what I was hoping for this season. New situations brought about by the year-up and all the changes it brought, with the same old heart and humor and character progression that drew me back into the show. This is the kind of episode i love and have talked about in the past and dosenāt fall into any of the shows usual pitfalls in the process. Just great. I could end it there but I havenāt shut up before why do it now.Ā So this episode focuses on Leni who I talked about a bit last week and easily had the best plot and in general tends to have good episodes, both before and after the show became an ensemble piece, and even in episodes without her tends to slide in just fine. Sheās always a nice breath of fresh air when she shows up.Ā
I think thatās due to a number of things. For one itās how sweet a person she is: Sheās genuinely nice, kind and well meaning. While she is dumb as a box of rocks that resemble Pauly Shore, what I like is her stupidity isnāt malicious, or overused for misery. She causes comical injuries from time to time with it but sheās quick to apologize iff she realises it and usualyly has no ill will to anybody unless provoked or fighting Lori over a dress despite them wearing the same clothes all the time. I know standard animation thing but itās always weird to me when shows with a stock outfit for a character have a fashionista, and prefer when shows have stylish characters actually change outfits like Kim Possible did with itās title character, Xiaolin Showdown did with Kimiko and of all things LIttlest Petshop did with Blythe. Granted Blythe is a nothing of a character but still, credit where itās due. But I do get this is also a nick show and they givet hem the budget of 50 cents and a network memo that saysĀ āBEG US FOR MORE MONEYā written in blood, so fair enough.Ā
That aside sheās just plesant to watch. The other factor is Liliana Mumy. If you havenāt heard of her , sheās a vetran voice actress whose been doing this on and off since she was a kid, voicing Panini on chowder as a child and later going on to voice Beth in bravest warriors among other roles. Why she only does work so ocasionaly I have no idea but when she does sheās great. Sheās also the son of fellow child actor BIll Mumy, aka the guy who as a kid played Anthony Fremont from the Twilight Zone classicĀ āItās A Good Lifeā, which if you havenāt seen it is about a small child who has the power of a god and thus can banish people who areĀ ābadā, i.e. disobey him and thus rules over a small town as a creepy and cruel despot. Oh and he can read minds so if you dare to have a thought he dosenāt like your getting banished, with no telling what that means or where anyone disappeared goes. Itās good stuff. Highly recommend it, Mumy is absolutley terrifing and a brilliant actor even at that age and I wish heād done more as an adult. I also bring it up because Lily played his daughter when they did a sequel episode during the UPN version of the show, set decades later and showing just what the little terror was like grown up... as well as what happens when his DAUGHTER gets the power. It was also really good and worth a watch after the first one. Good stuff.Ā
TLDR: Leni is one of my faviorites, soās her voice actress, iāve rambled enough about unrelated stuff at this point.Ā
We open at the mall, where for Leni life begins after schol, thatās when we bend all the rules time to hang with all her friends in the place where she belongs!
youtube
I mean technically sheās 17 now, but she was 16 when she started this job and none of them were 16 by the time the show ended so nyeh. This started in season 3 when the show started giving the girls not just their own stories but their own supporting casts., storylines, love intrests etc. Luna and Luaan got their romance plots with Sam and Benny, Lori got her college plot towards the end of the season, Lynnās friends started showing up in her plots more, Lunaās mortuariy club went from assorted background friends of hers to a full fleged supporting crew, and of course Lincolnās friend group started to become a recurring part of his plots away from his sisters.Ā
For Leni, being one of the only three kids that could legally work at the time, another possible plot to dig into, and with Luna having way less incentive to get a 9-5 job with her music to work on and the fact weāve seen her use said music to make money once in a blue moon, Leni was a good choice. It gave her something she was good at besides fashion, even if itās fashion adjacent and gave us a new supporting cast for those stories: Her boss Mrs. Redinger, your standardĀ āiām tough by fairā type, and her new friends Fiona and Miguel, two fellow fashion savy teens played by actors iād never heard of but who do a damn good job and play off her well, with both being a bit sarcastic but Fiona being a bit more mopey and deadpan and Miguel being a possibly but defintely gay teen. Both play off her well by being more down to earth and more wiling to be negative, but still enjoyable enough to be around you can buy them being friends with Leni and their a stellar addition to the cast. I wish, much like weāve gotten with Liam lately, we could see more of them outside leni stories. Their a treat.Ā
But I really like Leniās work there. Besides the cast it puts Leni in a role of responsiblity she excels at. My only real problem is her boyfriend, maybe I dunno, Chaz, one of the ONLY love intrests from l is for love to get mentioned again and one of the more intresting ones, never shows up despite also working at hte mall and the story potetial of them working for rival stores or the same store. I mean I canāt blame them for not throwing another love intrest on the pile when they had two ongoing romance plots, but now both Luna and Luann are on steady ground with their steadies, itās time to pull that trigger, get off hte ground and eat that horse. Also let LIncoln have one again will ya? It dosenāt have to be stella but Girl Jordan is right there, iāve said it before and iāll say it again.. where is she. And if not her just make one youāve proven to actually be really good at it.Ā
Where was I? Ah yes the mall. Leni is doing great at her job, suggesting some gloves to scoots, who ceases being skeptical when a hunky younger man of 30 something compliments her on them them chases off after him. If you donāt remember who scoots was thatās the old lady on a scooter who makes troulbe and appareltly can still get it. Good for her. Granted this is coming from someone who ships eda and stan pines still even though itās now revealed sheās 30 but... frankly I donāt think age is a concern with her and stan can make this joke, so it evens out.Ā
I mean he would right? Iām getting off topic even more than usual, point is Leni is doing great and her boss takes her to the break room for cake room... itās just the one cake but can you imagine a cake room? thatās the life. Just a fridgerated room full of cake.Ā
Turns out sheās EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. And she didnāt have to chain squidward to an ancient battle ship to get it or anything. After some confusion, Fiona has to clarify itās NOT her birthday because of course she does, Leni is proud. Full of cake and pride she tells her mom whose decided to reward her good job at work.. by dumping a bunch of respnosiblity on her.Ā I kid. Rita is being somewhat resonable here. She asks Leni to take over Loriās old role of babysitting/making sure the other 10, now 9 kids donāt burn the house down... no really she actually specifies that when leaving in the next scene. Which.. fair enough.. you have 11 kids, all likely to plug in a lot of stuff especially Luna and Lisa, said Lisa is a mad scientest who ends up nearly being the one to do it this time, Lynn has no common sense, and the younger ones who arenāt mad scientst are still reckless and vain and combattive respectivley so the odds of a house fire nearly breaking out on any given night are 1:1. But Leni in a show of self doubt thatās rare for her is scared (Though her revealing that by answering a question of how sheād feel about about babysitting the kids withĀ āScaredā was fucking gold. I swear Lilyās deliveries are always so great. ), and while Rita assures her sheās not sure. But as I said, she is being resonable: While Leniās not the brightest sheās kind, sheās been shown even before her recent major award sheās responsible, sheās babysat for other peopleās kids, and sheās kind. I mean they COULD put Luna or Luaan in charge but while when I first read the preview blurb for this episode I was cuirous why they didnāt think of that or thought they would, this episode does a good job presenting WHY theyād do it, while other episodes fill in the gaps: Luna is a bit reckless and Luaan can get caught up in her bidness and as we know once a week goes through the green door and comes out a gamma monster fuled by the sound of her own laughter, a horrible mixture of the joker and madman.. the leaderās insane brother. Iām a huge nerd, you all know this. Leni is the right choice.
Despite her nerves Leni has little choice but to take it on and Mr. Loud proudly sees her out with ye olde english as he and Rita, with lily in a cute little knightās helmet in tow, are going to a renisance fair to cater, with Lynn Sr needing the backup. And while you may sayĀ āwhat about his staffā.. their either going with and he just needs an extra pair of hands since itāll be nuts, or some of them are staying behind to man Lynnās Table while heās out on his catering gig. I mean the man has plenty of time for his kids, heās not at the restraunt 24 hours a day. Someone else has to run it when heās gone. I asked internally why they didnāt just take them along.. then reminded myself that taking all 11 kids to the faire at once, without anyone to watch them and likely having to call in favors when jsuta s likely, Lynn Sr and Rita can take them all another day with presumibly free passes as part of the catering job as that sounds like the kinda thing heād do. Also Seniorās into scarfās now thanks to Leni, which I love. Looks good on him. Hank should give her a call. Ascots may be out but I think he could rock a scarf. Iāve had ventures on the brain.Ā What follows is naturally Leni having several panic attacks as chaos naturally insues btu without Loriās lifetime of experince dealing with it. ITās a nice dynamic: Leni, as weāve established, has always been sort of Loriās sidekick, her best friend, her amigo. Sure they fight, siblings do that, but theyāll always be there for each other when it counts. SHeās never really had to THINK without her or be without her, so throwing her into the deep end of taking care of the kids really leaves her shook. Itās a HARD job, itās probably why the louds donāt bring in babysitters often: there are 11 kids to look after, 10 now and only 9 tonight but still a LOT of them and most of htem pretty high maintince. It was just easier with Lori because she grew up knowing each of them, knowing each of their weaknesses and putting the fear of her righteous wrath into them. Theyāve spent their whole lives looking up to her, literally and figuratvely, as their big sister and respecting her as the biggest authority in the house thatās nto her parents, sometimes bigger. Those arenāt just big shoes to fill , their Galactus size and that combined with her big sister worship leaves Leni understandably scared, lost and frequently paralized with anxiety this episode.Ā No really multiple times she just freezes and one times she screams. As someone with Anxiety disorder I related to this.. sometimes you either just break down or you just FREEZE from the stress and everything hitting you at once and have no idea how to progress while people are still barking at you to do something. Itās a lot but it was a nice touch that really added to her sympathy.Ā Ā And her anxiety is also understandable when sheās being hit with 80 problems at once, which iāll tackle all at once here rather than in order as this episode has a really frentic and good pace: while it follows the formula ofĀ āLeni runs into a problem, Leni freezes, then Leni gets help from Lori twice hten mr.grouse, more on that in am inuteā, the quick pace and great jokes help keep things from feeling too repetivie.Ā
Anyways the chaos: Just from the start Lucy puts a possibly human liver in the fridge, Lana eats all the cookies then gets skunked by her pet skun, and Lola and Lynn get into a fight over 5 bucks Lynn found, and since Leni canāt just let one kill the other as nature intended she has to fix all this.. mostly by removing the smell with tomato juice and scaring off the skunk and cutting the dolar bill in half. Money dosenāt work that way as both sisters point out but frankly itās Lola and Lynn, I donāt care who they feel.Ā
Meanwhile two of my other faviorties get into a tiff over their room: Luaan turns it into a comedy club and kicks luna out, with Scoots and her new man returning. Again, get it girl, get it, and Leni, under Loriās advice, pretneding to be a fire marshall.. only for Luna towarsd the end to turn it into her own rock club. Lisa creates a corossive super substance that burns a hole in the floor, Lana continues to grapple with the skunk and finally Lincoln and Clyde.. watch a scary movie despite Lucyās warnings.. and Lucy does something else.. I think? It was a chaotic episode with a lot of set pieces so forgive me if I forgot one of them. Honestly sheās the most well behaved there.But yeah as per the cliche Lincoln and Clyde, after Leni gets the wifi fixed with Mr. Grouseās help, they get super scared and freaked. Everyomne is freaking, the house is falling apart and Senior wants permission to wear a pinky ring via thought cloud.. which.. no man no. Scarves yes but no one looks good with a pinky ring. No one. And I say that as amporphous blob covered in hair, sweat and regrets.Ā
As for how Leni deals with all this she leans on Lori, calling her twice, but at inportune times: during a golf game and at the library where said phone gets taken. Granted, I donāt get why she didnāt have it on silent, as I would in those situations, but then we wouldnāt have an excuse to include her and it feels necessary to show WHY Lori canāt just help all night or reassure her sister and with Lori gone the panic only intensifies. As I said she gets paralized with fear and later just outright screams.. which attracts an irate Mr Grouse, the next door neighbor who I need to watch more ofās episodes. Including 12 louds of leapin.. I know iām way overdue on that. This december. Promise.Ā
The old man who yells at Louds helps for a bit, helping get rid of a beach Lynn set up because sheās lynn, she has the consderation of a puppy, but eventually falls in a hole like most great heroes and most elderly people. I mean the ones up the street at the retierment home must fall in once a week. They get out of course because the assitant living mole lets them ride out as it digs into the walls. Or maybe that was just a hallucination.Ā Eventually though the start at her job comes back as she calls the only people she has left for help: Fiona and Miguel, who are at the mall in chairs because of courser they are, and both are confused why sheās so helpless: Sheās fantastic at work, sheās kind, confident and smart.. about certain things, she can do this. Besides helping her confidence with this really sweet moment they also give her a good tool for how to use said confdience from work: just treat her siblings as customers. Itās also a nice call back to how weāve seen Leni learn way back in season 1 duringĀ āDriving Miss Hazyā weāve seen that she can have troulble grasping things, but when you put it in terms she understands, like fashion, or shopping, or in this case helping customers with their issues, she snaps into it. She learns at her own pace in her own way, itās why I think shāes neurotypical, and possibly ont he spectrum like yours truly: while her stupidity isnāt part of that the unqiue way she processes things has me supscious. either way it works.Ā
So with a new strategy Leni.. literally adresses them like shoppers, which is comedy gold. However itās a valid strategy:Ā besides the visualation part by getting them to form a line, instead of trying to handle 2 or 3 problems at once she simply handles them one at a time: She scares the skunk off again, shuts down both competing clubs in the older kids room, uses water to take out lisaās universal solvant, gives Lola and Lynn 5 bucks instead of just cutting a ten in half this time, and in the sweetest moment of the episode, reads Clyde and Lincoln a childrens book to clam them down. Sure itāsĀ a bit funny but their genuine relief and all threes adorable expressions really melt the heart.Ā
Leni finally wins, just as her parents get home and congradulate her, Ritaās faith not misplaced. While Rita probably knew itād be an adjustment, and frankly shouldāve prepped her sooner, she knows her daughter and knows waht shāes caapable of. Also Senior brought home meet and gives leni a turkey leg who gives it to the old man who now lives in a hole inside their house. Thatās his home now. Mr Grouse is just there now. Or I wish he was. But I guess you canāt always get what you want epsecially if itās an old man living in a hole in the loudās living room. Someday.Ā Final thoughts for The Boss Maybe: As you could easily tell I loved this one. Funny with a hell of an emotional core, and with great pacing espeially for a loud house episode, this was a joy to watch and easily one of the best episodes the show has done. Just a funny, breezy watch with a lot of subtext, intetional or not, regarding what weāve seen of Leni and honestly iām going to go with intetional. It felt really rooted in who Leni is, her relationship with lori, and her work without hitting you over the head with it. It just all flowed really well and made for a hard one to top for the season this early. Iām impressed and it gives me hope for the rest of the season.Ā
Family Bonding
This one was.. okay. As iāve learned the hard way from doing Amphibia when an episodes just okay itās best to breeze through it.. but I can give it this. While itās mostly a standard loud house episode the ending.. wasnāt predictable. Thatās for sure. I mean.. it left me with only one thought really...
But iām getting ahead of myself. The episodeās plot is standard for the most part: Lincolnās obessed with a new spy comic book about a james bond expy.. okay so thatās what Sterling Archer did besides physical therapy for the three months between his waking up and Season 11.Ā Anyways they soon get more exciting news from Lynn. New Neighbors! Before Rita can stop them, the rest of her family tramples over her and goes to make their aqunatince and of course be a bit overbaring with it before Rita rushes in with a spray bottle to spray them like a bad dog because frankly when your dealing with 11 people most of whom are really impuslive, sometimes dog training just works. You try raising eleven kids and see how long before your brain breaks.Ā Anyways after introductions and the mom turning down cherry pie, you monsters, lincoln sees strange flashing lights and a device and is convinced something is up and unable to convince his family and on a spy kick, recurits clyde. Now why he dosenāt call on Stella and Zach I dunno. And yes I said Zach and not my boy Liam. I have my reasons: Stella, besides being a faviorite of mine, is a tech whiz as shown in one of the comics and in the cookie episode, and Liam is already a paranoid conspiracy nut and as weāve seen with Dale Gribble, they can be suprisingly useful. I mean Dale is not the best on common sense but he knows goverment bilaws in and out, is skilled with a gun or a bag of pocket sand, and has danny trejoās octavio, whose basically danny but as hired muscle instead of a master actor, on speed dial. I mean we donāt know if Zach dosenāt have a danny trejo on speed dial or not. We never asked.Ā As for the other two while I love LIam, spying just dosenāt seem to be in his sizeable skill set and Rusty.. well rustyās about as subtle as a man covered in screeching cats he glued to himself blowing an airhorn, while screaming the script to a micheal bay movie while doing the explosion noises himself.. which Rusty has probbbly done.Ā The real thing iām getting at is I donāt get why, outside of Clyde and LIam, the writers think when LIncoln has an epiosde it either just needs ot be ClyncolnMcCloud or the ENTIRE group, when one or two would do the trick. YOu CAN seperate them out. People do hang out with diffrent friends at diffrent times. I know the showās grasp on reality is tenous at best, we got to that last week with the whole one teacher for core classes thing with schooled and this week.. again weāll get to it in a second, but friends DO hang out seperate. We saw each member of the Lincrew, minus stella because she didnāt exist yet, doing their own thing in Racing Hearts. Itās not that complicated. Itās hard to flesht hem out when their used as one solid unit and not unresonable to just use one or two. itās a lesson I hope the show learns eventually and hope itās sister show learns too.Ā
But yeah our dynamic duo spend the episode as youdā expect; unraveling conspriacies and stalking the new family, though there are some funny bits. Besides Rita squirting her family like a cat or a dog, we have flip getting half his face shaved by a survelince drone and okay maybe just those two things. not bad bits, but the general concept of them roleplaying into mischief.. has been done before. The showās done the detective bit before and the spy trappings really donāt change that. And you CAN do a good spy takeoff episode, this one just sināt it and feels like your standard LIncoln and Clyde messaround with tuxedos. Which to be fair are pretty awesome but still. Itās pretty flat.Ā The climax though? Iāll give it this.. itās pretty entertainngi if also 100% what exactly the fuck. So our heroes are naturally caught sneaking into the neighbors house and its eems they were wrong, etc etc, exactly what we expected the new kid will hang around.. at least we have a new character. Instead.. LIncoln accidently hits a knob and unveils a panel
So yeah... turns out the new family ARE spies, just for Peach Growers and plan to wipe out all cherries in royal woods. Yup.. look I know this universe is patently insane but even for loud house, even with all of lisaās super science... even with the slapstick but this is just.. nuts. Like iām fine with suspending my disbelif, this show is a goofy comedy, but this is a bit much. I LOVE it for being nuts but only in aĀ āwhat on spagehtti monsterās green earth were you thinkingā. I get swinging for the fences but Lincoln getting into a fight with a bunch of spies after playing spy, well beating them with slapsticks and stopping their plot to elmitie cherries..t his isnāt Kids Next Door. This just.. dosenāt work. Jeff Goldblum tell em why, my brains too broken to articulate this anymore
Yeah that. Itās just a weird climax and ends iwth LIncoln vetting the new neighbors.. which does it include girl jordon? Did they just write her out? If so why? Fans liked her, you can have more than one female character in Lincolnās friend group. Zach is replacable. You can give me whatever the fuck this was, but not an intresting friend for him who has personality already. I get 50% chad but not your decision making. Gah.Ā
Final Thoughts for .. this. one This one really didnāt work. Besides the ending just not fitting the series specific brand of ludicrous, I mentioned KND for a reason as it made this sort of plot work fine by having itās whole unvierse be really fucking weird and specific, itās mostly just okay. Weāve seen this before.. well okay I havenāt watched many of the Lincoln and Clyde messarounds, but the formulaās about the same.Ā And that dosenāt work. For one you have a HUGE swath of new possiblities: A new school, Chandler coming back, new teachers and faculity, a new principal, and Lynn and LIncoln being in the same school, and you instead just.. retread the same crap. you have 4 of lincolnās friends other than clyde to use but donāt let them in on the fun. And most agrivating to me you move new neighbors into the neighborhood while neglecting some of your old supporting cast and have them be villians of the week instead of adding someone NEW to the neighborhood. Give one of the other kids a new friend, or give lincoln a new friend to add to his group and replace liam, shake up the dynamic with him and clyde bya dding a third or, most obviously move one of his friends INTO the neighborhood, most obviously stella since you spent so much time building her up then have her addition affect Lincoln and Clyde. Sure weāve had an episdoe of one of his friends getting in the way of them before, but this would be diffrent. This episode is just.. not great and was a waste of my time, espespcailly after following such a stellar episode. Itās probablyt he first genuinely bad episode iāve covered on this blog. Now that probably wonāt stand, iāve seen genuiley worse but.. as a wise penguin once said.Ā
One last note. That Young Dylan graphic is really obnoxiou and obtrusive.Ā Itās the second most obnoxious thing iāve seen on this network.Ā

filming
authors notes: i kind of set this headcanon up a different way so i hope you enjoy it. itāll be based on different aspects of like getting to know him and like being cast and stuff. this gif has nothing to do with the hc! lol sorry and as always enjoy
anonymous said:Ā may you pLEASE do headcanons for like, reader being a new character on ST3 and i guess somewhere during filming, reader and finn start dating.
directory
ššš¬šš¢š§š
so you would probs audition for a new character on season 4
iām think will and el meet her at schoolĀ
and she has no parents and she hops from shelter to shelter
pretty much looking for a place to stay
since her parents died in a mysterious fire
which turns out to be that the hawkins lab killed them
because they threatened to go public with what they wereĀ
doing with the human trials
ANYWAY lets get to casting
so you would find out about the role on instagram
and you were relatively a new actor
like you weren't big in the acting industry
so you thought why not
thereād be multiple interviewsĀ
like one in l.a. and one in vancouver
but you would land the role
the duffers would describe you asĀ
ā the perfect one for the role and that your a groundbreaking actress and you need to get more recognition for your talentāĀ
and obviously it would make you so fucking happy
so yeah filming starts really soon
š¬šØšš¢šš„ š¦ššš¢š
so at first the duffers would not want you to tell anyone
but they made the exception for your family
but no friends
they were literally about telling NOĀ friends
so netflix would post the new casting on their twitter and instagram
people would be excited for the roleĀ
but they wouldnāt really know who you were
so when your castamates found out
they would send hellos
and looking forward to working with you textsĀ
so you really felt welcomed in the cast
millie would make it her personal mission
to be your new best friend
and while you would appreciate itĀ
it would be really intimidating
but you texted her a lotĀ
and she kinda told you about life on set
and she would talk about peopleĀ
especially the younger group
so you would be really excited to meet her
š¦šššš¢š§š
so you would have a flight to georgia
and it would be really long and youād
be kind of nervous
not really nervous like fucking crazy nervous
and you wouldnāt really know what to do
because auditioning wasnāt as bad as this
so you would get to setĀ
and like immediately go to your trailer toĀ
calm yourself down and prepare
so you would got to the first script reading
and the duffers would be like
ā please welcome y/n to the familyā
and everyone would like get up and clap for youĀ
and go to hug you
joeās hug was so warm
and you could tell that finn felt awkward
in the hug so you would end it really fast
because you didn't want anyone to be uncomfortable
but you would read the script and ultimatelyĀ
you would fucking love it and you would be so excited for shooting
šš«š¢šš§šš¬š”š¢š©
so you guys would not be friends for a while
you were still so overwhelmed meeting everyoneĀ
so you wouldnāt talk to them in the first week of shooting
but when millie invited you to get ice cream with the cast
you went because you wanted to create some strong friendships
and mostly you would just cling to calebās side
cause you knew him from social media
and he had reached out to you multiple times
so you guys were friends already
anyway you would get like rocky road or vanilla
or whatever no biggie
and suddenly
you would like drop your ice cream
and you would just be so sad
and finn would see
and just volunteer to buy you another one
and youād get really like shy
and he would tell you it was no biggie
because friends do that for each other
and you would be like
āreally?ā
ā yeah of course weāre friendsĀ ā
šš„š¢š«šš¢š§š
so after finn bought your ice cream
you both got closer like instantly
you would talk to him about everything
and while you were friends
he would always make flirty jokes with you
like
ā y/n even if there wasnāt gravity on earth, i would still fall for youā
and you would be like blushing
and flirting came even more
you would hang out after scenes
and before
he would invite you to calpurnia concerts
but it wasnāt a date unless you were comfortable
he would give you his sweater or sweatshirt orĀ
really whatever you want to wear from his closet
he would want you to just watch him from the side
because fans could be pretty vicious
so you would watch from the sideĀ
and he would look so good
and after the show he would hug youĀ
and malcolm, jack and ayla would be likeĀ
awwww so kyute uwu
š«šš„ššš¢šØš§š¬š”š¢š©š¬
so you and finn had been flirting the entire time filming
but there was two months leftĀ
until all of you went your separate ways
and finn would just want to make it official
because you guys had gotten way closer after the concert
so you and finn would be acting in the same scene
and he had let the duffers know what he was doing
so you would just be saying your characters lines
and she was like acting mean
and finn would just say
āwill you go out with meā
and youād be shocked and youād look at the duffers
because that wasnāt his line
and the duffers would be like
ā well? what do you say?ā
and you would be like beamingĀ
and of course you said yesĀ
you would just run and hug himĀ
and the entire cast and crew would applause and it would be so magical
like the perfect day
so your relationship would be just like your friendshipĀ
but with added cuddling and occasional kisses
you would be really close
okay nobody asked but iām gonna talk about the first kiss between you guys
so you would be in his hotel room
Ā because he asked you to tour with him and calpurnia
and it was crazy that your parents agreed
but here you were in finns roomĀ
watching him play with his guitarĀ
as you just sit there playing bitlife
on your phone
he walks up to you
and he strums along to the chords of my girl by the temptations
and he sings it to youĀ
and you were fucking beaming
like you were smiling so hard
but you got up and grabbed behind his head
he put his arms on your waist
and you guys kissed and it was really nice and finn was like
ā we should do that way more oftenā
š©š«šš¬š¬ ššØš®š«š¬
okay press tours so funĀ
so so so fun
( also y/s/n means your ship name ok thanks )
so you would be paired with finn and noah
you mostly went on netflix and buzzfeed
and it was a lot of globetrotting
from place to place
but in particular interview with entertainment one
the interviewer was really rude
and she kept questioning noah
and asking stuff about feeling left outĀ
from season one
and it would be so irritating
like so so very irritating
then the interviewer would askĀ
if you and finn were dating
and you would say no
and you would keep pushing
until eventually you put her in her place
ā this interview has been so very rude, youāve made all of us uncomfortable and weāre here to talk about the show not about our personal lives. put this in all of it, iām sick of interviewers like you iām doneā
you walked off the set and finn and noah would stay behind like shocked
and noah would just break the silence
stream stranger things 4 on december 5
and him and finn would go to your dressing room
ā y/n that was so badassā noah said
and you guys just talked about the interviewer and laughed because it wasĀ
crazy that you had made a family with the cast

TVD 9x15 - Dream a little dream... (Part 1) Enjoy! =)
Cut to ā the secret facility, around 3am. All the guests from the Thanksgiving dinner party have left. Augustus and Darius are having a little one on one before heading to bed.
Ā AUGUSTUS: So, how does it feel to be back from La-la land? You really had us worried for a while. Thought you were a goner.
DARIUS: How long was I out for?
AUGUSTUS: Almost a monthā¦ Youāre lucky Veritas was able to use his psychic juju to break the illusion. I was about to give up.
DARIUS: Given our history, Iām surprised you even tried.
AUGUSTUS: Well, bygones. And, Pietro can be very persuasive, he insisted we get you back.
DARIUS: Iāll have to thank him for that. Listen, I know we donāt always see eye to eye, and I know I made some mistakes, but we need to find a way to get over our differences, and see this through to the end.
AUGUSTUS: I agree. Thatās the only reason I accepted to do this. Also, I have to admit, you do have some irreplaceable talents.
DARIUS: As do you, from what Iāve been seeingā¦ I could have sworn I saw Tamara at the dinner party. What are you, making clones now?
AUGUSTUS: (Smirks) Oh no, clones are of no real use. And, unlike you, I donāt like to tamper with nature. What you saw was technology at its best.
DARIUS: So, like robots, basically?
AUGUSTUS: Not exactly; more like artificial intelligence. Specifically, itās called ASI, an artificial intelligence superior to human intelligence or ability. The superhuman, as we like to call it in the geek community.
DARIUS: And they call me the crazy one.
AUGUSTUS: Donāt confuse using technology in our advantage with a god complex, and a bad case of fatal attraction. You really lost it, Darius; almost sabotaged the orderās plan to cater to your fantasies. We canāt have that happen again, so, I hope you understand, some adjustments had to be made.
DARIUS: What are you talking about?
AUGUSTUS: Letās just say, you didnāt get that scar on your head by accidentā¦
DARIUS: What did you do to me?
AUGUSTUS: Donāt worry, nothing drastic. All I did was install a type of control button, to put it in a way. Just to make sure you donāt go rogue on us again. Canāt blame us for including an insurance policy after the mess you made. (Yawns) Well, I think itās time I call it a night.
DARIUS: Question, did that ātweakā of yours involve some sort of weird programming with the movie Sunset Boulevard?
AUGUSTUS: The fifties noir film? Ā
DARIUS: Yes.
AUGUSTUS: Well, I am a big fan, but no; thatās all you, pal. Anyway, I need my rest. Iāll see you tomorrow.
DARIUS: Sweet dreamsā¦
AUGUSTUS: (Somewhat confused) Uhmā¦ okay. Make sure you get some sleep (he leaves).
DARIUS: I will, eventuallyā¦Ā (Darius dozes off in a daydream sort of state; the song Wicked Game by Hula-Hifi, lingering in his mind).

Cut to ā The Salvatore mansion. Damon and Bonnieās room, around 3 am. Damon wakes up suddenly, sweating and breathing heavily. He turns to Bonnie, sheās not in the bed. He gets up, knocks on the bathroom door, no answer. He opens the door, sheās not inside. Vamps downstairs, finds her watching T.V in the family room.
Ā DAMON: Hey, Bon-Bon; what are you doing?
BONNIE: Couldnāt sleep, and I didnāt want to wake you, soā¦
DAMON: (Peeks to see what she is watching) Sunset Boulevard, love this movie.
BONNIE: Come, join me.
DAMON: (Vamps speeds to cuddle with her) You okay?
BONNIE: Fine, just a bad case of insomnia.
DAMON: Want some popcorn?
BONNIE: Is the answer ever no when it comes to that question?
DAMON: (Smirks, gets up) One order of large popcorn coming right up (gives her a peck on the lips, and vamps to the kitchen. Bonnie continues to watch the movie; at some point she begins to feel sleepy and dazed, almost immediately, she falls into a deep sleep).
Ā Cut to ā 1950, Hollywood, California. The cast and crew, of what promises to be the next Oscar winning film, are getting ready for another day of shooting on set. The lead actress, a true Hollywood diva, is in her dressing room rehearsing some lines. The lead actor walks in the room, hands her a cup of coffee.
Ā KAT: Every day I tell you I hate thatā¦
IAN: And every day I do it anyway.
KAT: Can you just get out, before I have security take you out.
IAN: Is that any way to treat your co-star?
KAT: The only reason you got this job is because your daddy is the head of the studio, you are a horrible actor. Ā
IAN: Kitty Kat, that hurts my feelings. Not everyone can sleep their way to the top, if you know what I meanā¦ Shall we do the count? Joseph, Chris, Michaelā¦ Oh, and letās not forget your recent one, my lovely brother, Paulā¦ I told you, everyone knows about you two, or almost everyoneā¦ Aw, poor Candice! Anyway, you can drop the act now.
KAT:Ā And, I told you, who I choose or donāt choose to sleep with, is none of your business, or hers. So, butt out.
IAN: You know, you are quite cute when you get mad (smirks).
KAT: I actually look cuter when Iām kicking someoneās ass; want to see?
IAN: (Wiggles is eyebrows) Ooh, you are on fire today!
Keep it up, maybe you will finally nail at least one scene. (The film director walks in).Ā
MATT: You two are up. And please, stop with the bickering, itās getting very annoying. Be professional for Christās sake!Ā Come on, chop, chop! You are on in five (leaves).
KAT: How dare he speak to me that way! Does he know who I am?!
IAN: Apparently, he doesnāt care; ouch! (Hands her the coffee cup) Here, have some, looks like you are going to need it. Ā
KAT: Shut upā¦ (grabs the cup reluctantly, and takes a sip. Another actress comes barging in, venting).
CANDICE: I swear if I have to do another scene with that incompetent fool, Iām quitting!
KAT: What did Chris do this time?
CANDICE: He canāt tell his left foot from his right one. How on earth did he get the part!
IAN: (Looking at Kat, teasing) Gees, I wonder howā¦
KAT: (Rolls her eyes, turns to Candice) Come on, heās not that bad.
CANDICE: Please, you only say that because you slept with him. Not that Iām judging, heās very hot, but he definitely canāt dance!
KAT: Well, he makes up for it in other areas (smirks)ā¦
CANDICE: (Grins)Ā Naughty, naughtyā¦ Anyway, where is Paul?!
IAN: Missing someone? Donāt worry, Blondie, he should be here soon, heās just running late. Think you can handle a few minutes without him?
CANDICE: God, I hate youā¦
KAT: That makes two of us.
IAN: (Looking at Kat) You know thereās a fine line between love and hate (smirks).
KAT: In your dreams.
IAN: Every night, at least twice.
KAT: You are disgusting.
IAN: I know (winks. The Assistant Director walks in). Ā
STEVEN: Miss. Graham, Mr. Somerhalder, we are ready for you.
KAT: Letās go.
Cut to ā LAPD Headquarters. The Chief of Police is in his office, smoking a cigarette, looking at a photo of a victim who was found brutally murdered the night before. The victim, an aspiring actress who had just landed her first role, a minor part in a high-profile production.
This townā¦ A concrete monument of decay. From the outside it might seem glamourous, with its movie stars and divas, but itās nothing more than a sewer filled with rats. Nights reek of booze, gun powder, and flesh blood, masked with a cheap imitation of expensive perfume.
Days are no better. The only difference between the two is that during the day, itās harder for the predators to hide, or so they think. In reality, the true gangsters hide at plain sight. They mock us, thinking they are always one step ahead, always above the law.
But not this timeā¦ not this timeā¦ (Caresses the victimās photo, a tear scrolling down his cheek) My sweet Ninaā¦ who could have possibly done this to you? And why?
youtube
(The song āThe Two Of Usā by Mark Isham, plays in the background, as the Detective has flashbacks of the woman and the horrendous murder scene; tears keep rolling down his cheeks).
Cut to ā the film set. Kat and Ian are shooting one of their scenes.
Ā IAN: Donāt go with himā¦ you belong here, with me.
KAT: Please, donāt say those words. You know I want nothing more, but I canāt stayā¦ He is my husband.
IAN: And I am the man you love.
KAT: Always and forever; no matter how far.
IAN: (Kisses her passionately. As she begins to walk away and the rain begins to pour, he runs after her, turns her around) Iām sorry, but I wonāt let you go (kisses her again, the song Godot - The Fragrance of Dark Coffee + Rainymood, starts to play.Ā
youtube
The raindrops continue to fall as they hold each other, probably for the last timeā¦)
MATT: And, cut! Beautiful! Now thatās what I call cinema! We are making history people!
KAT: (Ian is still holding on to her). Didnāt you hear cut?!
IAN: No, must have bad hearingā¦ (he smiles; she tries to resist, yet canāt help but smile herself).
MATT: Okay, everyone, letās take 30 while we prep for the next scene.
KAT: (To Ian) Did you hear that? (Pushes him away) Now, shoo, skedaddle! (She walks away, he follows behind, teasing her).
STEVEN: Mr. Davis, there is a Detective here to see you.
MATT: What? Why?
STEVEN: I think it has something to do with that actress that didnāt show up on set today.
MATT: Which actress, Steven, there are plenty of them around here.
STEVEN: Nina.
MEET: Nina, who? Doesnāt ring a bell.
STEVE: Sheās the actress that is playing Miss. Grahamās handmaiden.
MATT: Oh, yes, I think I remember. What about her?
STEVEN: I donāt know. Why donāt you talk to the Detective.
MATT: Fine. Send him my way.
ZACH: (Shows him his badge) Detective Zach Roerig, LAPD, can I ask you some questions?
MATT: Sure, just donāt take too long, we need to keep shooting while we still have the proper lighting.
ZACH: (Takes a picture of Nina out of his pocket and shows it to him) Do you know this woman?
MATT: Barely, she is just an extra with a very small part, we donāt interact. I only work with the stars, so my assistant might be able to give you more insight on her.
ZACH: Iāll talk to him, thatās for sure. But you are the one in charge of this production, correct?
MATT: I am the Director, so yes.
ZACH: Maybe you should pay more attention to your ānot so importantā cast members as well. Miss. Dobrev was found brutally murdered last night; just one block from here.
MATT: Oh, lord, that is terrible. What happened?
ZACH: Was I not clear? She was murdered, decapitated to be exact. And, we suspect the one responsible for this heinous crime, is part of this little film of yours.
MATT: Thatās absurd! No one here would ever do such a thing!
ZACH: Youād be surprised what people are capable of, especially in a town like this. It aināt all lights and glamour. This is an official investigation, so we are shutting this production down until we get some answers.
MATT: You canāt do that! We are on a schedule.
ZACH: Well, it looks like youāre going to have to make some changes. I need you to call in everyone in the cast and crew, and I mean everyone. No one leaves, until we clear them.
MATT: Do you have any idea who youāre talking to? I donāt take orders from anyone.
ZACH: You Hollywood types and your sense of entitlement. You are in for a reality check, no one is above the law. Here is a warrant to search the premises and question every single one of you. So, make yourself comfortable, we might be here for a while. Iāll need your office for questioning, while my squad processes the area. I take it you donāt mind. And, to prove Iām not all that bad, Iāll start with you. Lead the way.
Cut to ā the Directorās office.
Ā SUSPECT # 1 ā THE DIRECTOR
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
MATT: Matthew W. Davis.
ZACH: How did you know the victim?
MATT: I told you, I didnāt. Apart from directing the few scenes she has been in, I have never talked to or interacted with her at all.
ZACH: What were your whereabouts last night, from 11pm to 2am?
MATT: I was here, filming. Went home around 3am.
ZACH: (Shows him a note that reads: You were great last night. Keep it up, and you might become a real movie star somedayā¦). Do you know what this is?
MATT: (Looking nervous) Where did you find that?
ZACH: Iām the one that will be asking the questions. Is this your handwriting?
MATT: It is.
ZACH: Can you explain how, and why, this was found in the victimās purse the night she was murdered?
MATT: I have no idea. That note wasnāt for her.
ZACH: Oh, really? Who was it for, then? And why do you reckon Miss. Dobrev had it with her?
MATT: I canāt tell you who it was for. And, I have absolutely no idea why that woman would have that note.
ZACH: Oh, come on, try harder.
MATT: This is ridiculous, I want my lawyer.
ZACH: You are in your right to request one, but that would only make you more suspicious. So, I would advise otherwise.
MATT: What do you want from me? I already told you everything I know.
ZACH: Who was the note for?
MATT: Okay, okayā¦ it was for Candice.
ZACH: Doesnāt make much sense though, sheās already a movie starā¦
MATT: She is, but not a diva, like Miss. Graham. Thatās what every woman in Hollywood wants. And I am the only one that can give that to them.
ZACH: Thatās a lot of power to be in one manās hands.
MATT: I worked hard for it, trust me.
ZACH: Sure you didā¦ Okay, Iām gonna let you go for now, while we verify your alibi; but trust me, we will talk again.
MATT: Whatever. Can I leave?
ZACH: Yes, and send your assistant in.
SUSPECT # 2 ā THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
STEVEN: Steven R. McQueen.
ZACH: How do you know Miss. Dobrev?
STEVEN: She is one of the actresses in the film.
ZACH: More like, wasā¦
STEVEN: What?
ZACH: She was murdered last night, about a block from here. Know anything about that?
STEVEN: No, no, of course not. Oh, god, sheās dead?! This canāt be trueā¦ How, why?
ZACH: Well, thatās what I want to find out, pal. Think you can help me figure it out?
STEVEN: Whatever I can do to help, you can count on it. Miss. Dobrev was a lovely gal.
ZACH: Were you two close?
STEVEN: Not really. I met her when we started filming. We talked from time to time, but that was about it.
ZACH: Just talk, ha?
STEVEN: Yes, Detective, I swear.
ZACH: I believe you. Look, you seem like a decent guy. Iām sure, if anyone, you are the one that knows what really happens around this set. Help me out? Miss. Dobrev deserves some justice, donāt you think?
STEVEN: Of course. I will tell you everything I know.
ZACH: Good. Why donāt we start with Mr. Davisās real relationship with the victimā¦
Cut to ā Katās dressing room. Kat, Ian, Candice, Paul, and Chris are talking about the situation.
Ā CANDICE: With all due respect, but who is this Nina person?
KAT: Sheās the actress playing my handmaiden.
CANDICE: Oh, her? Well, you canāt really refer to her as an actress, I mean...
CHRIS: Sheās a nobody, so who cares.
PAUL: Judging from the Police take-over, something big is going on. Ā
CANDICE: Why do you care?
PAUL: Iām just saying, it doesnāt look good.
IAN: Well, I agree with Mr. slippery shoes andĀ Cinderella, who cares! We should be shooting, donāt want to lose the good lighting.
KAT: Of course you wouldnāt dare to care about anyone but yourselfā¦.
IAN: Really, Kitty Kat? This coming from little Miss me, myself, and I. We all know who you are.
KAT: No you donāt, so stop pretending you do.
PAUL: (Sarcastically) Ouch, bro.
CHRIS: (To Kat and Ian, sounding quite bitter) Can you two stop bickering, for like a second! Gees, just get married already! So freaking obviousā¦
KAT: Please, he wishes!
IAN: I might like a little pain here and there, but Iām no masochistā¦ unless you ask nicely, of course (winks; the Director walks in). Matt, can you please tell us what the hell is going on!
MATT: Weāve been shut down, until further notice. Oh, and no one can leave either, so make yourselves comfortable.
IAN: What! Why?!
MATT: Well, that wannabe actress playing Katās handmaiden was murdered last night. Ruined our entire schedule! The Police think one of us did itā¦ ridiculous!
KAT: Wait, what!? She was murdered? No, noā¦ that canāt beā¦ Oh my god!
CHRIS: And Iāll say it again, why do we care? She is a nobody! Or was, whatever!
KAT: Donāt say that! You have no idea who she wasā¦
CHRIS: Neither do you, Kitty Kat.
IAN: (Pushes Chris away from her)Ā First, no one calls her that, but me. Second, back offā¦
CHRIS: (Sarcastic smirk) Oh, please. Donāt you get it? She will never love you. Once she gets what she wants from you, sheāll throw you out like a piece of trash. So stop trying so hard.
IAN: (Grabs him by the neck) Listen, psycho boyā¦
PAUL:Ā Stop, both of you. Is it too much to ask for you to act like adults, for once? We really donāt need your little pissing contest drama right now.
KAT:Ā Nor any of thisā¦ Everyone get out, I need some space.
IAN: (Looking concerned) Kat...
KAT: I said, get out! All of you! (They leave).
Cut to ā the Directorās office.
Ā ZACH: Thank you for your cooperation, this information is critical to our investigation.
STEVEN: (Looking scared) Please, Detective, promise me you wonāt tell them you heard those things from me, I would be completely ruined.
ZACH: Donāt worry, your secrets are safe with me, trust me. Now, be a sport and send Miss. Accola my way, will you?
STEVEN: Will do, Detective.
ZACH: Thank you, we will talk again soon.
SUSPECT # 3 ā THE ACTRESS
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
CANDICE: (Flirtatious) Detective, you donāt believe I had anything to do with this, do you? I mean, look at meā¦ do you really think I would be capable of such a thing? Ā
ZACH: Perhaps you didnāt hear me. I said, state your full name.
CANDICE: Fineā¦ Candice Rene Accola. But I swear, Detective, I never even crossed a word with that woman.
ZACH: Funny, thatās not what Iāve heardā¦
CANDICE: From who? Whoever said that is obviously lying! I have a reputation to protect, I donāt mingle with the extras.
ZACH: Oh, Iām sure you donāt, but I wonder if you get jealous of them?
CANDICE: (Laughs) Thatās absurd! Why on earth would I be jealous of her!? Sheās a nobody.
ZACH: Maybe she had something you wantedā¦
CANDICE: What could she possibly have had that I donāt? If anything, she was the one jealous of me.
ZACH: I hear you are quite smitten with an ex of hers.
CANDICE: An ex? What are you talking about?
ZACH: Just cut the bullshit Miss. Accola. I know for a fact that Mr. Wesley and Miss. Dobrev where previously engaged, that is until you came into the pictureā¦
CANDICE: (Nervously) Please, Detective, let me explainā¦
ZACH: Please, do.
CANDICE: Itās not what you think. I mean, yes, I knew they had a thing in the past, but that was a long time ago. They went to the same Highschool, in this godforsaken town in the middle of nowhere, or something along those lines. But, I swear, I never even spoke to her, nor did he, after that. No disrespect for the deceased, but she was weird, she didnāt belong in the same circle as us. There are levels, and she is, well, was, way below ours. If you are looking for a real suspect, I suggest you talk to Mr. Wood, I know there was something going on between those two.
ZACH: Really, why would you say that?
CANDICE: They are both whack jobs. They would get together after shooting; hang out at this weirdo trash bar down the block called āThe Grillā, where all the other city looneys hang out. Trust me, they were into some really creepy stuff.
ZACH: What kind of creepy stuff?
CANDICE: Some obscure vampire nonsense. Iām telling you, totally cuckoo.
ZACH: Vampires?
CANDICE: Yes, I swear! If you ask me, I wouldnāt be surprised if Chris turned out to be oneā¦ I mean, if they were real, of course. Only a crazy person would believe those things.
ZACH: I agree. So, you are saying Miss. Dobrev had a dark side?
CANDICE: Oh, for sure! No one ever bought her little āMary Sueā act.
ZACH: Well, thatās quite specific information for someone who claims not to know anything about her.
CANDICE: Iām just telling you what Iāve heard from others, specifically, from Mr. Wood.
ZACH: Okay, Iāll give you the benefit of the doubt on that, for the moment. Now, (hands her the same note he handed the Director) can you explain what this is about?
CANDICE: (Looking genuinely clueless) I have never seen that before, I promise.
ZACH: Fair enough. Moving on, what where your whereabouts last night, from 11pm to 2am?
CANDICE: I was here shooting, until about 3am, I think. I went straight home after that.
ZACH: 3 am? Doesnāt seem like a safe hour for a lady to be driving home aloneā¦
CANDICE: Oh, of course not. I had my driver take me home.
ZACH: Whatās your driverās name?
CANDICE: Mr. Trevino, you can ask him if you donāt believe me. Heās right outside my dressing room. Ā
ZACH: No need, just yet. You are free to go, for now. Let Mr. Wood know Iām expecting him next.
CANDICE:Ā Sure thing. (As she is walking out) Detective, one more thingā¦ I probably shouldnāt say, since she is my best friend, but I feel obligated to mention this, itās in my duty to do so. You should know Miss. Graham and Miss. Dobrev used to be very close friends, best friends actually. She doesnāt know I know that, but I do. In fact, Kat is the reason Nina got this job in the first place; and the reason why Nina moved from that Mystic place to LA. Just thought you should knowā¦ Hope itās useful information (flirtatious smirk). Ā
ZACH: (Flirting back) Very useful, Miss. Accola; thank you for sharing.
Cut to āĀ Katās dressing room. She is looking at herself in the mirror; she seems somewhat sad, but a lot more worried. Ian knocks.
IAN: Kat, please, let me inā¦ Iām sorryā¦ (Kat opens the door, he walks inside, she looks around to make sure there is no one else there; shuts the door after him).
KAT: What do you want? I thought I made myself clear when I said I wanted to be left alone.
IAN: I needed to make sure you were okay (looks around the room) ā¦ I didnāt know you knew her outside of the film, Iām sorry if I was insensitive.
KAT: (Goes to her mini bar, serves and hands him a glass of bourbon) Itās just you and me, look for yourself. You can stop pretending now.
IAN: (Relieved) Okay, goodā¦ I donāt know how much longer I would be able to keep up with the act.
KAT: As long as it takes; we canāt risk them finding out.
IAN: I know, Kitty Kat, but Iām freaking out here! This place is infested with cops. What the hell are we going to do...?!
KAT: Calm down, we will think about that laterā¦ (kisses him passionately, and throws him on to her dressing room bedā¦)
