#i love rahul he's perfect

Caption of Probably Rahul Kohli’s instagram story in 3 parts.

Black background, white text: First Story

I made the mistake of reading other people’s comments about TLOU, Many masking their own homophobia “why can’t it stick to the game?, others just straight up not wanting LGBTQIA representations in their mainstream media.

I have two thoughts about this.

1) Who on Earth wants a shot for shot remake? If I wanted that, I’d just play through the game again. I want an “adaption”. I want TV/FIlm to play to their strengths and give me an alternative take, delve into the human condition, spend more time with the character. Otherwise what’s the point?

2) The Last of Us’ lead is Ellie. Not Joel. Ellie is gay. This hasn’t been retroactively added. This was further explored in the Left Behind DLC which was released in 2014. This is and always has been a progressive series. Billie was gay too. This *IS* a faithful adaption. If TLOU is a little too diverse/progressive for you, I think you may need to stop watching. It’s been their story since 2014. There are countless stories which avoid representation altogether, I dunno what to tell you, watch those instead.

2nd Story/Image:

Side note for my “political agenda” followers:

The arts have ALWAYS been a safe and alluring place for those growing up who felt different from the society. Outsiders. Actors. musicians, dancers, painters, poets, writers etc have almost always been a mix of the folks from the LGBTQIA community. There is no “gay agenda” in your media...

(All Caps) IT WAS ALWAYS GAY. ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROGRESSIVE. WE JUST DON’T HAVE TO HIDE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE ITS 2023 AND THERE ARE STILL AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF STRAIGHT WHITE MALE POWER FANTASY MEDIA TO CONSUME. IT HASN’T BEEN ERASED FFS.

3rd Story/Image:

You know who doesn’t belong in the arts? Weird toxic masculinity jock type homophobic dudes who fucked around in our art classes. And thought drama was gay.

But for some reason they’ve all grown up thinking that we should only be making stuff for them, and keeping the progressive stuff off their screens. The entitlement is ridiculous.

✧ enhypen as srk characters

✧ heeseung as rahul from kuch kuch hota hai

“pyaar dosti hai. agar woh meri sabse achi dost nahi ban sakti, toh main usse kabhi pyaar kar hi nahi sakta. kyunki dosti bina toh pyaar hota hi nahi.” love is friendship. if she can’t be my best friend, then i won’t ever be able to love her. because you can’t love without friendship.

; he’s a little bit of a playboy but has a heart full of love. he values friendships so much but doesn’t always value the person. he’s a bit of a coward, but when he loves, he loves wholeheartedly. sometimes, love is about waiting.

✧ jay as rahul from kabi khushi kabi gham

“zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho ... toh hamesha dil ki suno ... apni maa aur papa ka naam lo ... jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari” if you want to be something, achieve something, win something… listen to your heart… say your parents name…victory will be yours, just yours.

; he’s perfect in all the ways that matter. he values family and love beyond all, and when it comes to it, he will choose to protect rather than run. his heart can never be doubted, and neither can his integrity. sometimes, love is about letting go.

✧ jake as aman from kal ho na ho

“hasso, jiyo, mushkurao, kya pata? kal ho na ho” laugh, live, smile, who knows? tomorrow might not come

; he knows the true meaning of life; and his greatest mission is to make sure all his loved ones are taken care of. nothing will ever get in his way when it comes to love, and nothing can hold him back either. sometimes, love is about wanting the best for others.

✧ sunghoon as raj from rab ne bana de jodi

“rab sabko same khushi nahi dete” god does not give the same level of happiness to everyone

; he has so much love to give, but sometimes, he can’t show it properly. he’s shy, a bit hesitant, but his actions can never be doubted. his love is soft, kind, and fulfilling. sometimes, love is about selflessness.

Filthy smut abt jay/anwar with a dom gf that makes them genuinely overstimulated up to shivering/quivering point 🧍🧍🧍

Loml (Jay x f!reader, 18+)

Hey you 💕 It's my birthday today and I'm not having a good one. I've requested one fic for Jay Menha before and it was perfect! If was wondering if I can request another Jay fic? It can be whatever you want. Thank you, so, sooo much for bringing me such joy with your Rahul Kohli and Dev Patel fics 💜💜💜💜💜

A/N: It could be longer, could be filthier, but I'm still getting back into the swing of things. Enjoy xx

Jay Menha, since the moment you met, had been the epitome of a good boy. This had been demonstrated through your years-long relationship at him somehow finding a way to get every door for you. He carried your bags whenever his hands were free, and for you, they'd always be free.

And now he was underneath you, fighting for his life.

You didn't remember how exactly this disagreement started, but you weren't exactly wracking your brain to figure out how. He was completely bare underneath you, and you'd had the fantastic idea of keeping his member between the folds of you. He'd finished just a minute ago, stick and wet between the two of you, and you weren't intending on letting up.

Jay was so pretty when he pants, when he begs for you.

He leaned right up and you gave him a mean kiss, one that gets a loud, wet whine. He's so stoic, it's lovely that he can be safe with you. In a moment of inspiration, you take your teeth to his lower lip, and

He was throbbing, whining, trying not to let the frustration bubble up and out of him. You've got your fingers intertwined, tightly, as you ground down onto him

He was so pathetic, trying to speak. You knew Jay, better than anyone, and the look in his eyes when he was trying to get words out ... oh... he's such a romantic your heart could barely handle it.

Big, soft cow eyes staring up at you like you were the only woman in the world, wet eyes that want to promise you the moon, and deliver.

A dull squelch ekes out of your pussy, and it only makes you ride him harder, the pressure of your clit on the base of his cock? Immaculate.

The air was buzzing, Jay had long since lost track of time, the pleasant feeling under his skin, threatening to escape had taken hold.

Your lovely, your skin, your warmth your smell, and he smiled, which you return with all teeth, leaning down to bite his neck. You didn't stop until you tasted iron, just the way he likes.

You growled, like a proper succubus.

His moan was loud in your ear, his hair tickled your nose. He'd been letting it grow long, and you would never allow him to cut it again.

It was too much, and absolutely beautiful, feeling his hardness break into heat underneath you. Pathetic, you thought, what a sticky mess.

He twitched and shook under the prison of your thighs, gasping and twitching, fearing his heart would burst from his chest.

You'd nearly killed him, again. And you'd proceed to do so throughout the night.

You were absolutely evil, some sort of avenging goddess who saw fit to take what she wanted from him, and Jay fully intended to lay down and be of use to you.

That's all he wants really, to be of use to you.

My obsession for this man ♡

SRK - The Shah Rukh Khan.

Definitely one and only person who taught me about love who make me wonder about it and fantasies like I'm gonna get a guy like him whether it's Rahul Raichand or Aman Mathur...

He's love, his love, his kindness, his care, his adoration, him respecting each and everyone, him prioritizing each and everyone, him being just as perfect as someone can be...

The king of love ♡

— Thank you for raising my standards about man's even when I was unable to differentiate guys and girl since my childhood.

I still remember the days where I used to stare at his eyes those delusional eyes that could speak and make me smile as a 7/8 year kid. Thanks for making my childhood memorable ♡

[15-lizards]

do you have any faceclaims for the martell's?

(p.s. love your stuff and it has really inspired my world building for my own projects <3)

Aww thank u 🥺

Rahul Kohli as Doran no question. Hot Doran Rights. He is so good at playing a disappointed father like figure trying his best to keep relative stability, he’s got me sold on this. Give him a few grey streaks and bam. depression DILF.

And not to fancast Dev Patel *again* but I think he could play a really good Oberyn. He certainly looks like he could be cast in the role w/ his features and frame and whatnot, but he also is sooo charismatic I think he would smash a role like the red viper idk

Simone Ashley as Arianne let me cook…another incredible actor with the charisma and the range. She’s already done smart, witty, complex characters so she’s my top choice for my best girl my scheming princess

I’ve never seen any of Golshifteh Farahani’s work, but I’ve heard she’s great, and I simply think she just looks like she could be Ellaria Sand she is soooo gorgeous and just looks really close to what I read Ellaria as.

Obviously Rami Malek would be too old to play Quentyn, who’s 18, but younger Rami is kind of just too perfect to not mention. If there are any actors out there that look like young rami malek, please direct yourselves to the HBO casting call in my headcanon version of ASOIAF

[kellycataclysm]

If Stardew Valley ever does a movie Pedro Pascal would be a perfect Harvey. Thoughts? Because now whenever I see Pedro I think HARVEY?! 🤣

Fantastic question! Interestingly, in my mind, Lyra's Harvey is a mix of several face claims and I mostly see certain fan art when I think of him. I see him as quite classically handsome, tall (he's 6'4), broad shouldered and he takes good care of himself. His moustache is impeccable and he definitely wears Ray Bans; timeless and classic. Anyway, Pedro, who I love, sometimes comes to mind as a good Harvey, but I also like Rahul Kohli too, and there's this one Henry Cavill picture that is very Harvey... This question got me thinking about head canons... might jot some down.

[cinamun]

I’m confused…maybe you can help explain it a little more cuz I might be missing something. The update just came so I’m basing this off comments I’ve seen so far. How is Ryker the jerk for moving on but Dira isn’t for flat out lying to him about what happened and him not even finding out the truth from her, not telling him he was physically assaulted, and then KISSING Rah…the person responsible for all that which I’m sure he doesn’t know about still. Like yes, she has Indya’s entire personality and we absolutely love to see it. I can’t wait to see more of how she blooms and perfects that personality in all the right ways. She’s spicy and I love it. But why are we condoning her jumping on his ass like that even though she was the one in the wrong with this situation when it comes to her and Ry and their relationship, Rah’s actions aside cuz of course he’s the main one that’s wrong but as Ry’s girlfriend Dira did him really dirty so why are we mad or surprised that he split and moved on? If it were the other way around and some girl did that to Dira on behalf of nonsense between her and Ry and he lied and all that, we’d be ready to take his head off.

P.s. love that Rah looks to have taken a shower and cleaned himself up. He looks healthier at least physically which is a big step when you struggle with mental illness so good for him. Idk if I like her approaching him straight after feeling scorned by Ry cuz as stated earlier, she is her mothers twin BUT here we are.

Okay okay friend!! Whew! Good morning! The lemon peppers are almost done and the Ghettosas are lined up on the table in the back!

Y'all ready?

I wouldn't quite say she jumped him, she confronted him. This makes me think he didn't really tell her he had a new boo. They probably just stopped calling and texting. Dira is mad seeing him all hugged up with ol girl after he got the v-card.

So Ryker deserved the read he got.

Dira is not innocent. Who were her eyes on in the last couple frames? Its just like you said. She kept the truth from Ry even when he practically begged for it. She kept the truth from him to protect Rahul. She's bogus and can't be mad that Ry chose someone else to slurp on after graduation.

So yeah, she should have told him and I think this is the moment it was over for them:

Oh and yes, Rahul took a shower, got a hair cut and is now waiting to see if his punk ass momma is gonna show up. Stay tuned lol

[ravenadottir]

ok, so the other day my partner and i were talking about characters' names, the context being "oh, some characters don't match the names they were given" and it got me thinking... what would i name the love island characters if i had that power... or what they would name themselves... it gets a little mixed, don't worry about it.

i'm doing this or all seasons, especially the ones i didn't play because... it's fun and i already don't know/care about their grace.

alright, let's begin!

gary - SOLID KYLE, and i say this as a gary stan. he looks like someone who would chug on mountain dew and post those cowboy tik toks showing off his truck. i'm sorry but if you're american you know it's true and it's undeniable. idk what the british equivalent of that is... perhaps gary LOL

ibrahim - chadwick something the third. i remember seeing someone making fun of chadwick boseman (rest in peace) because his name is so white, and by rahim's behavior and way of talking it's giving carlton from 'fresh prince of bel-air. he's a fucking chadwick and you cannot convince me otherwise.

lucas - his father would want to name him fucking archibald because they're filthy rich, but his mom knows better, so she chose lucas. i think it's perfect for him and i wouldn't change it.

henrik - a solid andreas. look at him, he's an andreas! very sweet but still nordic enough to make you wonder.

bobby - probably the day of the week he was born, because if his parents are dumb enough to name him bobby, what would stop them from naming him friday? or maybe the season he was born, spring...

jakub - his name can stay the same because he looks like a jakub, HOWEVER, he would demand everyone to call him by his nickname: white shark

rocco - fernando. and not in the way you say it in english or spanish, but in portuguese. "faer-nã-doo", he would insist because... he's a douche.

graham - a hebrew name that means lovely, so like... jeremiah, or jebediah. probably jebediah. he does not give graham, he gives "catholic mother that is a little too lost in bible lore".

arjun - because he's conceited, (i like him but that smirk is so over-the-top) rahul. every fucking raul or rahul i've ever met was a conceited jerk so... call this based off life experiences.

elijah - it's giving william, maybe willard, even wilford. definitely a nickname that leads you to believe it's william but it's every other name under the sun except for the most common.

kassam is actually perfect, the right amount of exotic vanilla that he disperses.

carl - a nerdy name that wasn't necessarily born in the 40's, so leonard. it's a solid mix between young and old for me, and that's just who carl is. leonard is leo when he's younger, then stays solid for a 30-something-yo, then it's even more solid when you get old. granted, so is carl but i hate that fucking name.

noah - ambrose. um... SHOULD I JUST MOVE ON? it's perfect for him!

felix - (my partner said "lobster" without a second thought and i thought i would share with the class) but to me he looks like a solid martin, although he tries to make a nickname like max catch on, it's not successful.

the s2 girls:

lottie - she probably has a conservative name, like anne marie but lies about it saying she was named after a witch, like piper or sybil. final name would be piper (charmed fans will get it).

hope - viola. i love it, it's simple, small and it can mean so many things depending on what language you speak. in english is a type of violin, but in portuguese it's a type of guitar, and i love that for her. she's a very musical person so that's my name for her.

marisol - she's a solid valentina, the type of name that says a lot about personality. marisol, to me, is such a whimsical name. it doesn't say "intelligent, brave, bold", it says "i sell flowers by the road and wear a dress made out of hemp. also i call my vagina sacred temple." and that's not what homegirl is giving, so definitely valentina.

chelsea - i just hate the name chelsea, despite thinking she looks like one, so i'm naming her summer, because bright, hot, a little out there. everyone named summer (except the girl in The O.C) is a whimsical person, and that's how i feel she is.

hannah - she's a fucking daisy.

shannon - she's giving "my parents gave me the whitest name they could think of but i use a cool nickname" so i'm naming her madison but she calls herself "mad". her parents though? "maddie!"

blake - she's a fully-blown yasmin. it's the type of name that makes you second guess everything you thought about the person because you're not sure where that name is from, or what it means, and that's how i feel about her.

priya - i actually love that name for her, and i don't have as much contact with female indian names to have that... knowledge you know? i like it, keep it.

elisa - beatrice, but she uses "bea" and the bea-hive, because branding. WHY CALLING HER A NAME THAT CANNOT BE USED AS A BRAND, S2 WRITERS???? what was your thought process???

jo - every single girl i've met that is like jo was named angela. girls that will be like "i'll tell you one thing: i don't play games and i don't engage in drama" and baby, that's all they're doing, they're playing games and portraying an angel. fucking angela.

r!hannah - her name is still daisy but she corrects people, wanting to be addressed as "daze", because she's a bad girl now and fucking unbearable.

[ravingsockmonkey]

Revenge is a slow burning thing...

When Rahul got the work from home assignment to gift a floral arrangement to someone, he knew exactly what he would do.

He had waited a long time for this moment, honing his skills both with gardening and with flower arranging. He had grown all the flowers himself - including the death flower.

The scent would bring someone a step closer to death. Young adults would become adults. Adults would become elders.

And well, elders?

Elders simply die.

Rahul had come to accept Geoffrey as a decent husband to his mom, though he wasn't so sure at first. However, whenever his three half-brothers were born, he watched as Malcolm parented them nearly as much, if not more, than Geoffrey.

Rahul remembered how Geoffrey, years later, told Malcolm that he would be buying the house across the road so he and Lavina could retire and continue to raise Carmello, Francis, and Ryder.

Rahul also remembered the day he came home from work and found that Geoffrey had moved out with his mom leaving the three kids behind. He remembered their sadness, especially Ryder's, at wondering why their parents left them behind.

Rahul remembered Malcolm scrambling to pick up the pieces, officially adopting the boys as a caretaker.

Rahul remembers.

Malcolm and his mom would be sad for sure, but Geoffrey was an old man. These things happen.

Rahul's a good son. He takes care of a few things around his mom's house while Grim handled Geoffrey.

He saw the phone call go out about Geoffrey, and knows he needs to head home to make sure Malcolm, Emilia, and Ryder are ok. Carmello and Francis had already graduated and moved out - Malcolm bought them the house across the street that they were supposed to have anyway. Malcolm kept his promise.

Before he leaves, Rahul makes sure to talk to his mom, reconnects, and makes sure she's laughing. He knows she's sad, but she'll be fine.

Since I'm in one of my test saves, I wanted to go ahead and do something that I figured had been in the works for some time. I always felt that Rahul had a quiet intensity that went unnoticed by the sims around him since he was "just the nature loving grocery delivery boy" for so long. With today being Halloween, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to let him have his revenge.

[aashiqeddiediaz]

Hello hi hello absolutely VIBRATING here over the Anjali+Rahul/Buck+Eddie parallels- your mind, YOUR MIND.

Did you have any further thoughts on the love triangles in both scenarios? Because the way I see it, Christopher would be perfect to get Buck and Eddie back together 🤭

@oneawkwardcookie and I actually planned out a whole kuch kuch hota hai au a couple years ago, and as the seasons have gone on, it's kinda been more and more obvious.

originally, we did nothing but change the names for the au and it worked really well. i'm not gonna share all the details here since we're still planning it and i've been working on it since we found out about the basketball thing, but my thoughts are all scrambled because it just works so perfectly for them.

I'll give you this snippet tho:

Eddie stands in front of the grave for a long time. Everyone else had filtered out amidst condolences and grievances, shared snippets of memories better forgotten, thinly-veiled platitudes for his loss, and empty words that left him feeling hollower than before. Only he remains in the sprawling cemetry, the evening weighing down on him. He feels scraped out, hollow from the inside out as he looks down at the tombstone with his wife’s name on it.

You just know Leo usher wants to spank his girl so I’m requesting it

I come to you once again pleading for Rahul kohli spanking fic I beg please

The Smallest Man In The World (Napoleon Usher x reader, 18+)

A/N: Babe I see you and I admire your persistence. This took a dark turn but spanking is spanking. I hope you enjoy.

At your core, you know two things to be true about the Usher "family." One was that an interaction with Rodrick or Madelaine would ruin your day if you were lucky and not your life.

The second was that Leo Usher, as well as the rest of the kids, were tragedies waiting to happen. Any average Joe who looked in their direction knew it, and everyone just left it as it was. Tragedies make good headlines, and god knows the house of Usher was comfortable in the headlines.

And that puts you here. You're a fan, to some degree, of tragedy. An affinity for darkness will put you in the same circles as the Usher boys, "the bastards," and you were comfortable there for a time until your meds kicked in.

Now, you were on your way out. The light at the end of the tunnel had never shined brighter, your life, your career, your family, all well for the first time ever. You should be soaring above the clouds, you should be enjoying everything the light had to offer, and you were here, underneath him.

It was his fault. He'd refused to come with you, so you had to stay here with him like this.

You know, when he pulls up to your location, and you have to cancel your plans for him. He's holding you back, and on some level, he knows it.

You're usually wearing a skirt of some kind, but it didn't matter. He'll tear his way through anything you wear, and you'll let him. It's Leo- Your Leo.

He'll pull his car up, and you'll get in the back seat, and he'll drive - too fast - to some secluded area - or not.

You don't have long to get undressed, and when he pulls over somewhere, your bottom half is bare, and you're presenting yourself to him.

You just want him to stop hurting, even if it's only for a little while.

And your reward, is a loud, stinging slap to your ass. He loves doing it, he lives for it, actually. It's a perfect way to let off steam, and the bounce of your rear is just too good to deny. He won't. He doesn't deny himself anything, ever.

Followed by another, another, and another.

He takes what he needs from you and you let him, writhing, mewling, moaning. If you're lucky he'll get you off too, but it's not the goal.

You're here to warm his cock, to make sure he's not alone, to fill whatever hole Rodrick had escavated from his children in their latest meeting.

That's okay, though. The two of you were friends once, maybe you could be again.

Anyone could see you, but you know Leo wouldn't mind if they did.

Anything for attention right? Anything for a headline?

Leo Usher fucks some whore on the side of the road- click here to watch. It's you, you're the whore.

And you know, when he's done, he'll peel you off him, and drive you home.

You'll get the passenger side door, walk out onto the pavement, and he'll be gone before you even get inside. He'll go home to his boyfriend, or whoever, someone who mattered to him more than you did.

You'll spend the rest of the evening wondering if there was anything you could do for him. Anything to cut him off from these people who would throw him away the second he stopped bending the knee.

You love him.

You really love him, and he knew it. He doesn't think he deserves to feel the same, and yet here he was, fucking into you like he didn't know your name, or favorite color.

Talking with his father left him hungry, and nothing you could do would ever be enough.

[awu-wangxuan]

so i'm watching this indian variety show called laughter chef, very trashy, very indian, just a bunch of renown indian tv celebs trying to cook except they're all TERRIBLE at it and end up making shitty stuff that a professional chef has to eat and evaluate. i'll be doing some occasional commentary since a) i'm not really watching anything else b) it's quite fun and one of the nicest things itv has done in the last 10 years maybe ?? although it has certain questionable elements which ... well it's ok, you can't expect an itv product to be non-questionable.

i'll start by saying that arjun bijlani needs to take his foot off my neck because those outfits are going to be the end of me !! this week's blue suit and the pathaan fit were so immaculate TT also are you telling me he's hot, short AND can cook ?? that's the perfect man your honour. also that man could flirt with a rock if given a chance, i LOVE THIS TYPE OF MENNN OMG

not really rooting for any couple, but i like some individuals like arjun, reem and ankita (ah !! scandal alert, i know she's not well-liked due to big boss but i haven't watched it, i don't care about the general opinion on her. she's fun, she's quirky, she'll yell at everyone and anyone and tolerates a man-child of a husband. enough elements for me to like her). also rahul is kinda cute, they should let my boy speak sometime TT

the nia-sudesh segments need to be either cut out or drastically reduced, they're both unbearable and the edits are terrible

episode 13 had kashmira breaking down due to krishna, honestly their couple dynamics are so emblematic of what it means to be in an indian marriage. krishna does nothing at all, nor he knows the basics of cooking or just ANYTHING in general, but since he's more successful than her (or at least that's what he thinks), he gets the free pass to portray kashmira as a dumb woman who can't even distinguish masale (spoiler alert, he doesn't know either). she gets all sorts of names, while also being the only one that's actually cooking or at least trying to do so. she puts in all the efforts and ultimately her husband downplays that as well because the outcomes aren't very good. girl you should run if you ask me.

[couragehopelovefaith]

As an answer to @carladuquette:

Mike Flanagan character draft

Rules are simple: pick your top 6 characters from the Flanaverse. Series only! If a character appears at different ages, specify which one you want on your team. Can be characters you love, love to hate, whatever. Ready? GO!

(There will be no Midnight Club-characters, because I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since I know that the cancellation would frustrate me to no end, if I got myself engaged to it.)

This was way harder than I thought it would be! So many others would deserve to be here as well. If you haven't seen these shows and want to avoid spoilers, stop here.

But okay, here we go...

Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford, Midnight Mass)

It tells a lot that I saw Midnight Mass for the first time just this Easter, but I couldn't imagine anyone else getting the first place. Such an underrated character. He had such a sad backstory and a kind soul...he truly did his best and helped so many people when he had every possibility to be selfish. His relationship with Erin was very special too. I guess he got his happy ending in a way, but all the possible could've beens and fix-it-fics about him that I will probably never write haunt me.

2. Luke Crain (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, The Haunting Of Hill House)

I debated with myself for a long time, which Crain-twin I should put here, but Luke and his journey just moved me deeply. I'd like to write much more about him, but it would become an essay so I'll pass. It would be so inspiring to see Riley and him to have a conversation, now that I think about it. During my every single Flanagan deep-dive, I am awed how Oliver could play both Luke and Peter - such opposite characters - so believably. *standing ovation*

3. Hassan Shabazz (Rahul Kohli, Midnight Mass)

I had an eeny, meeny, miny, moe whether the third prize should go to him or Owen, but I had to pick this loving father and a wonderful sheriff. In this case, I can't even fully explain why, but he just managed to stand out from the middle of all these other fantastic characters in an unique way.

4. Verna (Carla Gugino, The Fall Of The House Of Usher)

I feel like I don't really even have to explain myself when it comes to this choice. Carla has always been talented and beyond, but she really exceeded herself in this role. In the wrong hands, this character could've become very corny and comical, but with her behind the wheel, there was no fear of that. I lost count how many times I got shivers, was lifting my jaw off the floor and crying while watching Verna. I almost wanted to include a gif of her and Arthur (since I love him too), but I thought it might be cheating, so...

5. Hannah Grose (T'Nia Miller, The Haunting Of Bly Manor)

Okay, listen... I love Dani and Jamie, both as a couple and as individuals, and their story is very bittersweet and heartbreaking. But when I think of Bly Manor, my mind always travels first to Hannah, her relationship with Owen and to episode 5. She is amazing and deserved the world. A little restaurant in Paris, with the love of her life... Gaah, even writing about it makes me tear up!

6. Tamerlane Usher (Samantha Sloyan, The Fall Of The House Of Usher)

I almost feel bad for not putting Lenore here, because she obviously was the purest one of the Ushers and didn't deserve what she got in the end. But I can't help being intrigued by Tammy and her complexity. Surely, she is far from perfect - quite a despicable human being, actually - but the episode centered around her made me feel a bit sorry and sympathetic towards her. She is my favorite Usher-sibling (Leo being a really close second) and belongs on this list. Samantha deserves way more recognition of all her roles, to be honest.

Phew, I did it! *victory dance*

Anyone can participate. Let's show appreciation to this marvelous saga, pretty please.

if you’re hearing PLOT LINE BY EMLYN playing, you have to know GIOVANNI (GIO) YOUNG (HE/HIM, CISMAN) is near by! the 38 year old HEAD CHEF AT EVERGREEN CLUB RESTAURANT has been in town for, like, THIRTY YEARS (ON AND OFF; MOST RECENTLY ABOUT A YEAR). they’re known to be quite IMPULSIVE, but being FUNLOVING seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble RAHUL KOHLI. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those ALWAYS SMELLING A LITTLE BIT LIKE SMOKE, LATE NIGHT MEALS IN A DARK KITCHEN, CHILL BEATS TO VIBE TO ON THE HEADPHONES, A LITTLE BIT OF A TEMPER, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT  vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around DOWNTOWN long enough!

name: gio young age: 38 d.o.b. & sign: october 29th, scorpio occupation: head chef at evergreen club hometown: hemlock springs gender identity & sexuality: cisman & bisexual relationship status: twice divorced

+3 likes: a perfectly cooked steak, gin and tonic, falling in love +3: dislikes: lawyers, bad tinder dates, falling out of love

being adopted was never a big deal to gio. he wasn't the curious sort who was going to go looking for his birth family, not when he had a perfect family at home, supportive and loving and happy to have him. it was never a question in his mind of if he belonged in the family he was in, because no one ever made him feel like he shouldn't be there.

when he was a kid, cooking was an early passion of his. he would spend way too much time in the kitchen, playing with recipes (that quite frankly should have been illegal), and forcing his family to try the things he made, taking their feedback and improving. he wasn't the kid that was making straight a's in school, but he knew his purpose from a young age.

he was married for the first time at 19. it was a very stupid decision on his part, running off with a high school sweetheart to vegas, marrying in one of those 24 hours chapels, and then coming home with a ring on his finger. he didn't regret the decision until he was 24, and they were fighting all the time, and the next thing he knew, he was being served divorce papers.

he dated after that for a while, jumping from relationship to relationship, telling everyone that this time, it was the one, this time, it was love, and none of those ended in marriage and divorce, but every breakup was just as messy.

his next marriage was a little while later, when he moved to london for a while to study his craft under an amazing head chef, learning how to run a kitchen and meeting who he would have assured everyone was the love of his life. that marriage lasted just as long as the first, and by his 37th birthday, he was divorced again, moving back home with a shitty british accent he'd picked up on his travels and his tail tucked between his legs, but happy to be home and landing a dream job, running his own kitchen at the country club. it was the first step on his journey to opening his own restaurant, and he's been happily in town for a year, enjoying every moment of it, and waiting to meet the next love of his life.

IM SOOOO GLAD YOU LIKE JAY AND HOONS. i was literally tweaking on the bus because i HAD to write something. jay is so rahul coded, like… the perfect son… the sarcastic little tease… he would dance to win his girl’s heart… and he would choose his girl over his family… thinking many things right now 😵‍💫

Shut upppp I'm so glad you wrote that because ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I'm gonna go crazy because that is so true, especially choosing his girl over his family part. When jay falls in love, it's going to be ground breaking, earth shattering, law defying-
