#jared menken

[pvtchurch]

These two are so obviously fucking

[bettercalljean]

I’m not the only one that felt the vibes between Roman and Menken in the bathroom scene, right?!

[bamboobrat]

succession s3 e6 recap: a nice safe space where you don't have to pretend to like hamilton 3/3

kerry joins in on the conversation for the second time this episode and this of course only fuels the "they are fucking"-rumors.

that being said, i'm not entirely sure they are. maybe logan is just preparing her to take over waystar in order to truly fuck his children over.

seems just as plausible as them fucking to me.

roman and i are wishing gerri was here....

tom goes back to a diner to talk to kendall. ken wants him to convince tom to switch sides, arguing that his case is strong.

but hey, we all know that the reason ken is talking to tom at all is because his case is, in fact, not strong at all.

i honestly don't think tom will turn on logan. shiv, on the other hand? she's being pushed further and further towards a breaking point.

connor wants to be president and greg is like "meh ok maybe i could vote for him" but then before he leaves he is like "lol jk"

i would not want to see connor be president, but i WOULD love for willa to be first lady. the first first couple in history who met "online" :)

the discussion continues. hugo is there... i don't like it.

tom pretty much says to kendall that he is going to get fucked and logan is not, based on his own observations. the character development and girl bossification of tom wambsgans!!!!! love that for him.

kendall takes a photo of tom and presumably sends it to shiv? given the look that they exchange later on, ken definitely stirred the pot with this move.

greg is being celebrated by the conservative lads who called him soy boy earlier, because they obviously also hate greenpeace.

give me a courtroom scene with greg and greenpeace and greg's grandpa, pleaseeeeeeee.

roman is in the bathroom with menken, which is the closest he gets to actual sex, really.

i think i would enjoy the fascist storyline more if i wasn't so politically traumatized from the last decade or so... can't really appreciate the absurdity when this whole thing feels so true to life.

having said that, i am not opposed to them fucking.

menken brings logan a coke and i guess that's it then. the roys are endorsing a fascist!

shiv is forced to be in a photo with menken and my heart breaks for her a little.

i do think if she had actually taken a stand and not posed for the photo, logan would respect her more. she constantly miscalculates what will get her into her dad's good graces.

by complying, i think he just recents her more. oh, abusive parents are fun, hey....

predictions for next episode: PLEASE please please please please have some gerri in there. if not, i might just cry. we will see shiv have a breakdown and probably also kendall. roman will continue to be bootleg logan and thrive in the worst possible way. tom will not attend kenfest2021 because it doesn't give him prison vibez

[soggybottomboysvevo]

roman roy and jared menken

[ellenarcher]

Okay but why is there so much sexual tension between Roman and Jared Menken??

[blacksunscorpio]

Hey, what kind of placement in a person's chart indicates talent for singing or just in music in general please ?

Astrological Placements for Musicians/Artists

1. Mercury Conjunct Neptune

Because Mercury is the planet of communication and Neptune is the planet of fantasy, creativity, dreams, etc, when they connect it can give a Native a very dreamy or otherworldly style of communication. This usually translates to a gift with vocal manipulation. Conjunctions are a fusion of energy so the strength of this placement typically makes for a strong singer.

2. Mercury on the Midheaven

Mercury sitting on the apex of one’s chart means that their communication/voice attracts a lot of attention or can bring them a lot of success. R&B artist SZA has her Mercury conjunct her midheaven. Taylor Swift’s Mercury is trining her MC.

3. Mercury or Neptune as the Most Elevated Planet

Your most elevated planet is your highest potential in your chart. The planet that can bring you the most prestige. If Mercury is your most elevated planet, your “voice” can bring you much success/your voice may be your strongest area in life. Again, Artist SZA has her Mercury as her most elevated planet. Singer Bob Dylan had Neptune as his most elevated planet.

4. Neptune in the 1st

The 1st house is the house of self. Neptune here can indicate a native with strong creativity and artistic abilities. Music lives here as well so 1st House Neptunians can be very musically/artistically inclined.

5. Neptune in the 2nd

2nd house is ruled by Venus but the 2nd House/Venus/Taurus also rules the “throat”. When Neptune is here, he can make someone’s “voice” sound hypnotic and Venus will add “beauty” to one’s vocals. Venus [like Neptune] represents singers, musicians, composers, and creative artists.

6. Neptune in the 3rd

3rd house is ruled by Mercury which rules communication., again. Neptune here can make someone’s communication or methods of communication very dreamlike or can make communication “trance-like” which is what singing sort of us.

7. Venus Conjunct Mercury or Taurean Placements

Literally “beautiful voice”. Musician Bon Iver has his Mercury conjunct his Venus. He also has a Taurus Stellium. Adele being another Venusian blessed with golden pipes. Billy Joel as well. Lots of Venusian energy among them which indicates a lot of artistic/musical talent.

8. 3rd House ruled by Libra/Venus

See above. [Beyonce has her Mercury in Libra.]

9. Moon Conjunct Mercury

A well placed Moon in the chart especially in the sign ruled by Venus or connection with Venus will give a euphony voice. 

10. Quintiles, Trines, or Biquinties between Venus, Mercury, Neptune, and Jupiter

Quintiles  [72 degrees] and bi-quintiles [144 degrees] point to talent, the desire to create order and to categorize, a fascination with patterns and structures, obsessive-compulsive perfectionist tendencies, and the desire to build or make things. Having these aspects between benefic planets indicates a talent with art/music/voice/dance acting and artistic self-expression.

11. Uranus conjunct, training, or sextiling Venus, Mercury, or Neptune

Uranus is individualism and unconventionlism. Most artists can be rebels or very “out there” people. When Uranus links up with the three of these, it can display a sort of unconventional talent in things like music, art & dance. Foo Fighters front Man and Nirvana Alum, Dave Grohl has his Mercury in Aqua. Many Rappers are Mercury-ruled. Nipsey Hussle has Uranus conjunct his Venus and Uranus as his most elevated planet. 

12. Gemini placements 

Gemini is ruled by Mercury but Mercurians/the twins have this uncanny talent with their fingers. They are very dexterous. As a result, they can manipulate instruments with ease. Singer Jason Mraz has his Mercury in Gemini and is very gifted on the Guitar and Ukelele. Composer Alan Menken of Disney fame [he’s basically the guy that wrote and composed all the Disney themes you sing now i.e Pocahontas, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc.] has his Moon and Mars in Gemini. Very gifted at the Piano.

13. Venus on the Ascendant

Your “Presence/Beauty” is sitting in your house of self. Very good placement for artists.

14. Asteroid Talent in Pisces, Taurus, Libra, Gemini, Cancer, or Scorpio.

Talent in Pisces= Talent for creativity and art. Taurus = Talent for fashion, art, music, Libra [see Taurus since both are ruled by Venus], Talent in Gemini = talent for communication. Talent in Cancer = Talent for depth, emotion, sensitivity, intuition [excellent for songwriting especially involving feelings]. Talent in Scorpio= Talent for digging to the depths, psychology, passion, etc. Excellent for artists, especially those brooding forever remembered Kinds [I.e Kurt Cobain].

15. Leo/Sun Conjunct or Trining Jupiter/Sag Aspects

This placement can indicate “showmanship”.

16. Heavy Water Placements

Heavy water placements in the 4th, 8th, or 12th, by placement/sign. [Mercury in Scorpio or Cancer etc]. Ex. Lana Del Rey has a Mercury in Cancer and a Scorpio rising, Think of the mood that hit when you first heard “Young and Beautiful” from the Great Gatsby Soundtrack. Frank Ocean has his Mercury in Scorpio, think of the vibes you felt listening to “Swim Good’, or “Pink Matter”. The water influence adds depth and emotion which tends to be what music triggers. 12th house is the Piscean/Neptunian house so natives with this placement may be good with writing music or coming up with deeper subliminal messages in their music.

17. Mercury Conjunct Chiron

Chironic placements indicate a place of deep pain but a place where we can help others. Mercury touching this dwarf planet indicates someone with the ability to “heal” with words. And as the Red Hot Chili Peppers said: “Music, the great communicator” can often feel like medicine. Musician Billie Eilish has this placement.

18. Sagittarian Placements

Jupiter is lord of expansion and is the ancient ruler of Pisces. Natives with their Sun and Mercuries especially typically make very good musicians or their voices will reach outward/project very well. Numerous musicians have this placement including Ingrid Michaelson, Sarah Bareilles, Jared Leto [Mercury in Sagittarius].

This story was initially uploaded to Wattpad years ago, and I'm transferring it here.

Laurens and Hamilton just transferred into a new high school in New York, where things get interesting. Jared and Michael's hopeless crushed on their best friends lead them to each other, to Jeremy's disappointment. Evan and his stepbrother, Whizzer, have their own relationship issues with their boyfriends. Jack Kelly, the school flirt, and Katherine Pulitzer go head-to-head to become captain of the school newsletter. Connor McKinley deals with his homophobic parents with the help of Kevin Price, a new junior who will have to find a place to stay after his deadbeat dad ditches him again. The Heathers rule the school and JD sells slushies to unasuming freshman.

Altogether, a wild ride.

THE BEST MOVIE MOMENTS OF 2018:

HONORABLE MENTION:

The Opening/Closing Credits from BUDDIES

I’m putting this as honorable mention because this is an older movie recently rereleased.

The first film about the AIDS Crisis, Buddies strikes at the heart with its opening credits with a typed list of AIDS victim up to 1985. Set to a mournful score by Jeffrey Olmstead, the never ending list of lives cut short puts you in tears.

Alex Honnold faces Boulder Problem in FREE SOLO

Most thrillers can only wish they could be as gripping as in the moment when Alex Honnold maneuver’s his way through the most challenging section of El Capitan Wall without rope in this Documentary.

Ray Offers Wisdom from Mid90s

“If you looked in anybody else’s closet, you wouldn’t trade your shit for their shit.”

Ray (Na-kel Smith) and his friends may not be the best role models for the impressionable Stevie (Sunny Suljic), but in this moment, Ray teaches him a lesson in perspective.

Glenn Close’s performance in THE WIFE

I’m not referring to any moment. Just Glenn Close’s acting. She speaks more volumes with her face than most actresses could with dialogue.

10)        The Beach Scene from ROMA

Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio) is an extraordinary woman. Sure, her life hanging towels and cleaning dog poo doesn’t seem like anything special. But like many lower working-class people, she endures. Boy does she endure a lot of shit in this movie. Not only does her deadbeat boyfriend ditch her to practice martial arts, but her baby is born dead. Despite all this, she not only continues her work, but she shares a close bond with the family. She showcases this bond and her strength when a fun day at the beach goes horribly wrong.

When Paco (Carlos Peralta) and Sofi (Daniela Demesa) swim too far out, Cleo walks into the ocean to save them despite not knowing how to swim. We watch in dread as she faces severe waves to find the kids, the camera always close to her.

This scene also contains a beautiful scene of the family hugging Cleo when she tears up over losing her baby. Seeing them all huddled together in front of a bright white sun captures the heart.

9)         “A Place Called Slaughter Race” from RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET

Admit it, it’s fun to take pot shots at Disney Tropes. Hell, even Disney gets in on the fun. And boy do they seize on every moment to mock Princess tropes when Vanellope Von Shweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) encounters the Disney Princesses. Of course, it helps that Director Rich Moore and Head of Story Jim Reardon creates some of the best episodes of the Simpsons. Though there are many hilarious moments[1], none can hold the candle to Vanellope’s “I Want” song.

As she reflects over a puddle, Vanellope sings about her longing to be in the gritty game “Slaughter Race.” Seeing this little girl perform this lighthearted musical number over a background of riots and dumpster fires is comedy gold. Nearly every element of this number elevates the comedy, from singing shark (with cats and dogs in its mouth) to the creative lyrics (“Am I a baby pigeon spreading wings to soar?/ Is that a metaphor?/Hey, there’s a dollar store”). And the number still finds time to emphasize Vanellope’s fear of hurting Ralph (John. C Reilly).

Kudos to Alan Menken for mocking the trope he (and the late Howard Ashman) introduced to Disney. Just as deserving of Kudos is Silverman, who faced to task of singing in Vanellope’s high pitched voice.

8)         Charlie Loses Her Head from HEREDITARY

With her unusual hobbies, connection to her late grandmother and that clicking sound, you’d assume Annie’s (Toni Collette) daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro) would be the centre of the whole film.[2] Boy, were we in for a surprise.

Spoilers!

When Charlie suffers a peanut allergy reaction, Peter (Alex Wolfe) races her home. On his drive, he sees a mysterious figure in the middle of the dark road. In his attempt to dodge it, he doesn’t see Charlie hanging out the window. Seeing her head slam right into a pole leaves us as traumatized as Peter is. To see them kill off a main character so early in the film is downright shocking. With this death, predictability goes right out the window and we are left uncertain of what direction this film will go.

7)         Neil Armstrong Soars in the X-15 Rocket Plane in FIRST MAN

It’s funny how the most exciting scene in this film isn’t the moon landing. Don’t get me wrong, the scene’s still breathtaking in its realism, but it’s surprising how thrilling the opening scene.

Damien Chazelle hits the ground running with Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) soaring the atmosphere in an X-15 Rocket Plane. He soars higher and higher into the skies until he flies out of earth’s surface and gets stuck in space

Albeit, you know he will be back on earth in time for the moon landing. And yet, I found myself on the edge of my seat, wondering how he’s going to get back to earth. Most of it is thanks to the visual effects, which contains some of the most believable since 2001: A Space Odyssey. The effects leave CGI in the dust with practical effects that look so real, you’d think Gosling was actually flying into space.

6)         The Ferris Wheel Scene from LOVE, SIMON

High School Movies are home to many unforgettable romantic scenes. There’s Samantha (Molly Ringwald) and Jake (Michael Schoeffling) standing over a birthday cake in Sixteen Candles. There’s Patrick (Heath Ledger) singing to Katarina (Julia Stiles) on the bleachers in 10 Things I hate About You. And who can forget Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) blaring Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” outside Diane Court’s (Ione Skye) in Say Anything. Be ready to include the closing scene of Simon (Nick Robinson) waiting on the Ferris wheel for online pen pal Blue from Love, Simon.

After being outed by a student, infuriating his friends for deceiving them in his attempt to stay closeted and abandoned by Blue, Simon makes a plea to meet with Blue face to face on the Ferris Wheel at a carnival. As he rides on the Ferris Wheel, he, fellow classmates and the audience wait in anticipation for Simon’s happy ending.

5)         The Book Heist from AMERICAN ANIMALS

When Spencer Reinhard (Barry Keoghan) and Warren Lipka (Evan Peters) plotted to steal extremely valuable books from the Transylvania University library in Kentucky, they thought they had the perfect heist. With the help of their friends Erick Borsuk (Jared Abrahamson) and Chas Allen (Blake Jenner), they thought they pull off a heist as smooth as Oceans 11.[3]

But reality hits them like a sledge hammer when they try to pull off the heist. Unlike their dreams, Librarian Betty Jean Gooch (Ann Dowd) doesn’t get knocked out with one taser jolt. It also isn’t easy to lug a six-foot book down a flight of stairs. Then there’s the fact the basement has no exit. That’s just a few of many problems they never consider. From then on, we witness them pay a huge price for their hubris and lack of real-world understanding.

Only youths as smart as they are to come up with such a stupid plan.

4)         The Mutant Bear from ANNIHILATION

Biologist Lena (Natalie Portman) and her team find themselves in a quite a bind. After entering the Shimmer, physicist Josie Radek (Tessa Thompson) has barely survived an attack from a mutant alligator and Anthropologist Cassie Sheppard (Tuva Novotny) has been attacked by a bear. Now paramedic Anya Thorensen (Gina Rodriguez) has gone mad and has tied up Lena, Radek and Dr. Ventress (Jennifer Jason Leigh). But when they hear Sheppard’s cries for help, they will soon find Anya is the least of their worries.

Their journey delivers many grotesque, nightmare inducing visuals (especially the slithering intestines.) But the most memorable moment in this film was the image of the helpless crew trapped in a cabin with a mutant bear. Bears are scary enough on their own, but a faceless one is pants spitting meeting. And then you hear it imitate Sheppard’s screams and suddenly you need a new pair of pants.

3)         The Great Snap from AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

The whole Marvel Cinematic Universe had been leading up to this moment. The fact that nearly every character had a moment to shine in this one movie demonstrates the astounding direction of the Russo Brothers. But despite all the epic fight scenes, everyone agrees that this film’s greatest scene is the heroes moment of defeat.

Despite every effort made to stop in, despite outnumbering Thanos and despite Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) sacrificing Vision (Paul Bettany) to destroy the mind stone, Thanos still got all the infinity stones. And with a single snap, Thanos succeeds in wiping out half the universe’s population. One by one, we watch many of our heroes vanish into dust while others watch in helpless horror. But none are more heartbreaking that the moment when Spider-Man (Tom Holland) falls into Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) arms, crying “I don’t want to go.” All because some characters couldn’t make the sacrifice needed

Yes, we knew he was going to succeed in the end.[4] And yes, you know most of the heroes won’t stay gone.[5] And yes, their return will likely involve the surviving heroes sacrificing themselves.[6] But the ending still feels powerful despite this knowledge.

It all concludes with Thanos sitting near a cottage, content in his triumph. If the MCU ended here, it would have been a perfect ending. But I’m still curious to see how this will go.

2)         The Closing Close-Up in CAPERNAUM

The closing image of Zain’s (Zain Al Rafeea) face will haunt you beyond the closing credits. Throughout the film, we’ve seen this kid struggle through hell on the streets of Lebanon, trying to protect his sister from their resentful parents and helping an Ethiopian Migrant Worker take care of her son. But when he’s sent to prison for assaulting a pimp who bought his sister, he decides to sue his parents for the crime of bringing him into this miserable world. Writer/director Nadine Labaki never looks away for a second to the brutality of Zain’s world and how it brings out the worst in Zain.

When the film freezes to the image of Zain smiling for a Passport photo, your heart breaks for him as Khaled Mouzanar’s haunting score plays out.

1)         Tish and Fonny’s Walk Through the Park in IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

No other opening scene has done a better job of putting its audience under its spell than when loving couple Tish (Kiki Layne) and Alfonzo “Fonny” Hunt (Stephan James) stroll through a park holding hands.

There’s beauty in every element of this scene, from Nicholas Britell’s romantic score to the warm looks in the character’s eyes. But what really sells it is James Laxton’s lush cinematography. The colours pop through the yellows and blues on the couple’s clothes and the green of the grass. You are as in love with this couple as they are for each other.

Then the film cuts to Tish visiting Fonny in prison, this time the yellow is the prison, the blue is Fonny’s jumpsuit and the green is on Tish’ outfit. From then one, we know why their love is worth fighting for.

[1] Mostly at the expense of Ariel (Jodi Benson)

[2] Especially when she appears so prominently in the advertisements.

[3] As indicated by a fantasy sequence.

[4] Since we know this was going to be a two parter.

[5] Especially when there are already planned sequels to Black Panther, Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy. After all the money Marvel’s got from Black Panther? They’re not going to give up that meal ticket.

[6] What with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans retiring their characters.

AKA I definitely won't upload this daily

Because I have nothing better to do with my life, I'm doing the Thirty Day Smut Challenge! Except I'll probably upload pretty randomly since posting daily just won't work for me. I'll start with one challenge, which you can see in the first chapter, and I'll do it in order. Once that's done I'll probably find another one to do.

Also, I'll probably do literally any ship you guys want, so please leave your requests! The only things are: It has to be from one of the fandoms in this book; I prefer and/or know some fandoms and ships more than others, and I will probably be much more willing to do those! If I don't end up doing your request, that's probably why.

I'll also do probably any headcanon (and when it comes to musicals, I might do different casts if I know them!) as long as it's reasonable!

Anyways, that's all the boring stuff out of the way, enjoy!
