Takada x Halle ship?
Very sexy, 10/10.... when Kiyomi demands that Halle protect her as she invites Misa over for a catfight... when Halle is secretly double-agenting, but MAYHAPS could become conflicted about her loyalty to the Wammy's boys if she ever developed feelings for Kiyomi instead... the possibilities boggle the mind
#i like it more than kiyomi x misa#halle as a wlw gives me big jodi foster silence of the lambs vibes you know#it's good 10/10#kiyomi#halle#ask#floweryflees#p

everything i loved about "the little mermaid" live action
Ariel's melody being her siren song!! that little new bit of lore!! i also really liked that it added more depth as to why Ursula wanted her voice in exchange for her becoming human
the way Ariel became almost angry during the bridge of "Part of Your World", she was so frustrated that she couldn't do the things she was dreaming about, like YES let her be mad!!
full body chills during "Part of Your World" + the first reprise
Ariel helping Max onto the boat đđđ
I've mentioned this before, but Ariel hearing Eric's voice before seeing him!!! hearing him sing before seeing him!!! agh!!!!
Eric holding Ariel's hand on the shore after she rescues him đ
the detail put into each of Ariel's sisters was so stunning, i'm so excited to read more about them in the books! i loved that they each had their own specific vibe
THEY INCLUDED THE FACT THAT URSULA AND TRITON ARE SIBLINGS YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH
"For the First Time" being a voice over, as Ariel's thoughts, and then the scene shifting to complete darkness except for her to represent us being in her head and hearing her thoughts, and the way it gets cut off when she realizes she can't say "hello" to Eric? i cried
The Jodi Benson cameo and her giving Halle!Ariel the fork đ literally her passing on the mantel of Ariel đđ
Eric and Ariel being total nerds with each other??
The way Ariel "told" Eric her name using the constellations???? and him saying it was written in the stars???? hello????
Also Eric saying "my little mermaid" made me so soft wtf
Eric and Ariel running around and giggling in the castle and being the definition of puppy love like they're so goofy and in love i adore them
the "Part of Your World" reprise after Ariel sees Eric with Vanessa shattered my heart, the MOST heartbreaking song
Grimsby kicking the ring away after it falls near him, my man knew exactly what was going on, he's known Ariel for three days and is already a ride or die
just Ariel and Eric holding each other so tightly after she gets her voice back, and Eric refusing to let her go until Ursula literally has to throw him away
ARIEL BEING THE ONE TO KILL URSULA USING THE SKILLS SHE SAW ERIC USE OH MY GOD IT WORKED SO SO WELL
i like that they added a chunk of time passing between Ursula's death and Eric and Ariel reuniting, it added a little extra drama and emotion when they finally saw each other again!
listen i'm an absolute sucker for a "hug before kiss" reunion and i was SO happy that Eric and Ariel had that, it fit them and their relationship perfectly, the way Eric just clung to her, and Ariel's happy smile as she hugged him back đ
The mermaid statue and the dress representing the land vs. the sea???? and both returning back to where they're supposed to be but having new meanings????
Ariel's wedding dress being pink to (probably) pay homage to her pink ballgown in the animated movie was such a good touch, and i loved the length!!
Triton and Ariel's goodbye, where he says "you shouldn't have had to give up your voice for me to hear you"???? hello my father issues jumped tf out and had me sobbing in the theater
literally the entire movie was so beautiful, i could talk about it for hours, this is the best live action remake honestly, and Eric and Ariel (specifically the live action version obvi) have moved up to become my favorite Disney Princess/Prince pairing, just behind Belle and Adam (bc let's be honest, nothing can top them)
@queen-with-the-quill bc i know you're seeing it soon! more things i forgot to tell you lol

MY VERY SPOILERY THOUGHTS ON THE LITTLE MERMAID
Iâm going absolutely feral after seeing The Little Mermaid. My inner child has been FED, and I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT IT YET so here I am to spew my thoughts. Spoilers below:
1. Halle was perfect. I will accept no criticism on this point. The only thing I cared about when this live-action movie was announced was that our new Ariel would have a voice to match Jodi Bensonâs, and Halle did more than deliver. She epitomized the spirit of Ariel in every way. She was playful, she was inquisitive, she was joyful and bright and fun, she was so good at tugging the heartstrings (even without dialogue!!!) and appealing to our innate wanderlust and desire to discover and experience, Â and she was so so EARNEST in her portrayal I canât even.Â
2. THE DEPTH THEY ADDED TO PRINCE ERICâS CHARACTER OKAY!?!?! LIKE?!?!?! Okay, I will NOT GET OVER THIS. It was SO CLEVER of them to mirror Arielâs journey with his desire to break free of his positionâs restrictions. It worked incredibly well and did not once detract from our heroineâs spotlight. Rather, it ENHANCED their connection and sold me on their three-day love story in a deeper and more meaningful way than the original did (more on that below). ALSO ALSO ALSO SO COOL of them not to kill off his ADOPTIVE mother. ADOPTIVE. Marvelous choice! Truly. His motherâs fear of the sea gods offered a parallel to Tritonâs fear of the surface world, and *CHEFS KISS*
3. Melissa McCarthyâs Pour Unfortunate Souls was a FUN TIME.Â
4. Awkwafina as Scuttle? Inspired.Â
5. MAX WAS ADORABLE AND THE STAR OF THE SHOW EVERY TIME HE WAS ON SCREEN. BEST BOY.
6. Wherever they filmed? The castle? Fucking gorgeous.
7. JODI BENSON CAMEOOOOOOOÂ
8. Grimsby is the GOAT. Enough said.
9. NEW SONGS
I may get some hate for this, but Iâm not the biggest fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda.  Idk how to put this. He has an insane amount of talent, but for...untraditional musicals. I wouldnât say heâd be my first choice to write new songs that fit the more traditional Broadway-like musical vibes that characterized so much of the Disney Renaissance.Â
That being said, The Scuttlebutt was the strongest of the bunch, I think. It was very much a Miranda song, and in most instances, Iâd be a little irritated by how they included a song that has a style so different from the rest of the lyrical music we know and love from the original animated movie. But it worked here, likely because it was delivered by Awkwafinaâs Scuttle and FIT the character.
Honorable mention to Wild Uncharted Waters, only because WOW Jonah Hauer-King went OFF on that performance. This boy said âI get one musical number and Iâm going to KILL ITâ and he did.
Also very much liked the Part of Your World (Reprise II)! It tied everything together really nicely.
10. THE OTHER NOTABLE CHANGES I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT
I LOVE THAT ARIEL HESITATED BEFORE CHOOSING TO GO THROUGH WITH THE SPELL.
I LOVE THAT ARIEL WAS FORCED TO FORGET SHE NEEDED A KISS FROM ERIC. --> THIS. THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING. I canât even express how much more I felt for Ariel and Ericâs love story. How much more real it felt. How much more believable and true. I donât buy in to one-day (or few-day) love stories very easily, especially when physical intimacy/attraction is a driving force. My little aroace ass dug the fact that kissing Eric literally was the last thing on Arielâs mind. She got to be herself, explore this new world, AND do it with someone who appreciated her curiosity and found joy in how much joy she was experiencing, who could have just as much fun as she could. God. Goals.Â
I LOVE THAT ERIC KNEW SOMETHING WASNâT RIGHT WITH VANESSA, EVEN IF HE COULDNâT PUT HIS FINGER ON IT. Very reminiscent of Prince of Song and Sea by Linsey Miller (a YA AU retelling told from Prince Ericâs POV. Itâs a fun, easy read, if youâre curious).
I LOVE THAT ARIEL ACTIVELY TACKLED VANESSA AND BROKE THE SHELL NECKLACE HERSELF.
I LOVE THAT ARIEL WAS THE ONE TO STAB URSULA. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. WE LOVE A BADASS HEROINE WHO DONâT NEED NO MAN TO SAVE HER.
All of these changes were important and mean a lot to me. I think it challenges a lot of the issues people have with the original animated movie, in that, here in the 2023 version, no one can argue that Ariel made her choices because she was lusting after a man. Or that sheâs a damsel in distress. Very good stuff there.
11. My critiques
Some of the cinematography was weird. The transition between acting scenes and singing scenes didnât always flow right. They felt abrupt and awkward. I definitely worried a bit about the CGI too, and it wasnât too terrible imo.Â
And my biggest complaint: idk what it was about the ending, but it didnât *quite* hit right. In the original animated movie, one of the last bits of dialogue comes from Triton, when he says, â...how much Iâm going to miss her.â The finale of the animated movie is then a spectacle of swelling music and a heartfelt case of âshowâ rather than âtell.â The hug between Ariel and Triton on the wedding barge is perfect. The way in which the mer-people come to witness the wedding and send off Eric and Ariel is perfect.Â
The live-action ending felt...a little too somber. It became too much about Triton letting go and not enough about Ariel and Eric setting off on adventure together or about their worlds colliding in peace. I wouldnât say that the last conversation between Triton and Ariel in the 2023 movie cheapens the line â...how much Iâm going to miss herâ and the bittersweetness with which he gifts her back her human legs, but it came close. I would have MUCH rather had a little more from Eric and Ariel than from Triton. LIKE HELLO??? WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT RING GRIMSBY KICKED AWAY!??? THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD HAVE USED RIGHT THERE. Or better yet: if they wanted to do something super touching, they could have had Ericâs mother and Triton do a short aside by themselves, or perhaps even have a sort of moment where they acknowledge each other with respect/compassion/understanding before we all refocused on Ariel and Eric for the grand finale. But nah, they did what they did, and Iâll be a bit salty about it forever.
But anyway. Overall, I was very pleased. My disappointment with the lack of emotional impact from the ending does not supersede my enjoyment of everything else.
If you made it this far, please share your thoughts! Iâm eager to talk to people, because all my friends arenât like me and didnât go see it opening night, lol.

The Little Mermaid: My Personal Review đ§đžââď¸
I grew up with Disney. I grew up with Disney Princesses, adventure, romance, music, and true love conquering all in the end. Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, and more to come right after as the years go by, as I grow up and become attached the creativity and wonder in films and TV shows that made Disney the way it is now.
Iâve seen the live action films. Not all of them, however. Just Aurora, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle and now Ariel.
When I was a little girl I love Disney films, and my favorite was Beauty and the Beast. With its music, the animation, the storyline and its message on loving someone from the inside than out, it was my favorite â and I was so excited when a live action was to be form. Even better for my Harry Potter fan self when finding out the iconic Emma Watson, best known as Ms. Hermione Granger, was going to be my bookworm princess. And it fits her perfectly!
I loved it. I loved the live action films Disney made so farâŚ
But none of themâŚ
None of them made me cry â twice â than The Little Mermaid.
I loved The Little Mermaid. I love Jodi Benson for voicing the iconic red-headed princess of Atlantica. When I heard of the live action â when I found out who was portraying the princess, Ms. Halle Bailey, I was ready. Flashback to my childhood; I loved Brandy when playing Cinderella. The first Black Disney princess on the screen, and the film tops at number one for the creativity, the colors, the music, the diversity, the acting and just â everything was exactly how I dreamed of a world. No limits, no requirements, no rules. Just creativity at its finest.
The Little Mermaid just topped over them as number 1.
Like I mentioned before, I cried â twice! I wonât spoil anything, just say that it was everything you can do to bring the story back on a live screen and even bring out more creativity â more representation â more art than ever before in animation. Iâm a creative artist; this was a dream to have more than once!
There were two sides of me out when watching this film. One side was the creative side. I was taken in on the cultures that were brought out, not clashing but combining with normality and equality among each other. The colors that brought the unique qualities of each person, from major to minor characters. The acting of characters portraying the characters I knew and new characters that extended the story to new heights. The music â Oh my gosh, the music! It was both a throwback and a new era of songs that I knew I was going to love the moment I heard the lyrics, the instrumental, and the vibes in full connection to the plot line. The plot was just exact, but with the new additions to have reality out more â making you believe mermaids do exist! It was just perfect.
And then, there was the other side. The one that was a child, watching a girl with the same skin tone as me playing one of my favorite princesses. Hearing her voice, seeing her adventure, watching her personality, admiring everything about her was just⌠I can feel myself wanting to cry. This wasnât just about representation for me. Iâm Black, and it was nice to see but when I watched the film, I didnât focus on her skin, just how I did when I was younger. I never focused on skin, or cultural backgrounds, or how different we look. I only saw people. I saw a girl who got the chance to play a mermaid. I saw a girl who did all she did to make this mermaid iconic again. I saw a girl who I love and admire, thanking her from the inside on making my childhood shine again.
I am literally tearing up when I saw this was the best thing I ever saw from Disney. Inside Out made me cry a tear. Endgame made me sob like a baby. But the Little Mermaid⌠this is my childhood! Back on the screen! And it was so much better than anything I have imagine!
This is just me pouring my feelings out. Iâm not expecting anyone to read this, or any celebrity to somehow know about it. I just⌠For anyone who wants to see the film but isnât sure based on how negative others must feel, considering some films didnât fulfill their expectationsâ
Watch it.
I saw today as a late Mother Dayâs gift with my mom.
She loved it. I loved it.
Mark my word as a writer and a fantasy lover. This is worth watching.
Thank you to the following: Director Rob Marshall; screenplay writer David Magee; actors Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Trembley, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy â my dearest and hilarious Ursula đ
Thank you for bringing these characters to life, bringing this story to life. As well to the other cast members I didnât mention but are just as responsible and important for making this gift happenâŚ
And a special thank you to my Ariels: Jodi Benson, the Ariel of my past; and Halle Bailey, the Ariel of my present. Thank you to these wonderful woman for making Ariel. I know if someday I would meet either one or both, I know I will just break down â my inner child in my heart wanting to thank these girls and how much it truly means to me.
And to one writer to another: Mr. Hans Christian Andersen. If it werenât for you, none of this would have happened. Thank you for your gift in storytelling đđžâ¤ď¸
Truly an unforgettable masterpiece đđ§đžââď¸đđđž

Disneyâs The Little Mermaid (2023)
All right, Iâve seen it, so letâs do this.
PROS:
- I have some problems with Ariel in this movie, but Halle Bailey ainât one of âem. I mean, good lord. Not only is her singing as beautiful as expected, but her vocal impression of Jodi Benson from the original movie is phenomenal. If you hadnât seen either movie and just heard audio files of the two back to back, it would be exceedingly difficult to pick out which was which, thatâs how spot-on Bailey is with her performance. And even when Ariel is mute, Bailey never fails with her facial expressions, which continue to convey her lovable personality. You totally believe her to be Ariel because she totally believes herself to be Ariel; the sincerity that she exudes is proof of just how committed to doing this iconic character justice she was.
- Luca Paguro himself, Jacob Tremblay, was perfect castling for the voice of Flounder.Â
- While I hate everything else about him, I love King Tritonâs design and general vibe. Heâs less of a traditional king and more of a Poseidon-like god, and thatâs a cool take on him.
- The shark attack sequence. I especially liked the new way that Ariel outsmarts the shark.Â
- "Part of Your World", both how the scene is staged and, of course, Halle Baileyâs singing.Â
- "For the First Time". Again, itâs a Halle Bailey song. You canât go wrong there.
- Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Ericâs adoptive mother. As pointless as this character was from a story standpoint, I thought that Dumezweni sold it with her performance.Â
- Art Malik as Grimsby. I totally bought his fatherly concern and affection for Eric.
- Once theyâre finally allowed to start bonding after needlessly putting it off to pad out the runtime some more, Ariel and Ericâs chemistry is on point, especially in the dancing scene.
- Jodi Bensonâs cameo as a merchant who gives Ariel a fork. Unexpected and delightful.Â
- From the second half of âPoor Unfortunate Soulsâ and all through the second half of the movie, Melissa McCarthy is suddenly good as Ursula. Sheâs no Pat Carroll, of course, but she finally has the bombast and intimidation factor down which she was lacking in before.
- Jessica Alexander as Vanessa, who owned those two-or-so minutes she was on screen.
- Before the way it ended I was enjoying the climax. King Triton being straight-up killed rather than turned into a polyp was a genuine shock, and gigantic Ursula was utterly terrifying.
CONS:
- The opening scene is awful. Rather than that epic shot of Ericâs ship coming out of the fog with the music blaring, we get what looks to be a mermaid (actually a dolphin) swimming underwater as whimsical music plays, only for it to get cut off like a joke as the sailors on Ericâs ship try to harpoon the âmermaidâ while yelling hateful superstition. Just a terrible start.
- Rather than Tritonâs hatred of humans being pure bigotry on his part, the movie decides to "both sides" the conflict, making humans equally as hateful and fearful of merpeople as merpeople are of them. Worse still, they each have valid reasons for this hate and fear, making the end resolution of it being brushed off as a big misunderstanding ring hollow.
- Jonah Hauer-King as Eric. Iâm sorry, I just couldnât take him seriously in the role.
- Worse still, Eric's whole character is fucked up on multiple fronts. First off, heâs now adopted royalty instead of genuine royalty, which gives off the unfortunate implication that this is the real reason he bonds so well with the common folk and desires a life of adventure. Secondly, his life situation is made the same as Arielâs instead of different, pushing them as kindred spirits too literally and losing much of what made him desirable to Ariel in the original. And finally, his romance with Ariel starts and ends on a lackluster note, with him being too quick to dismiss having anything to do with her after he learns sheâs mute and then too quick to accept being together with her was a fantasy never meant to happen after he learns sheâs a mermaid. In trying to give him more depth, the filmmakers just made him more confusing.
- The undersea world lacks appeal. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it and have since the trailers came out. More proof that animation is an art form that has things live-action can never replicate, and that Disney needs to stop making these live-action remakes already.
- Javier Bardem as King Triton. He is absolutely terrible in this, giving one of the most dull and disinterested performances Iâve seen in recent memory. He sells none of his lines.
- Triton's character isnât any better than his actorâs performance. Beyond his bigotry against humans having more justification to it, he is downright cruel and unrelatable in his treatment of Ariel. When Triton crossed the line into abusive parenting in the original by destroying Arielâs collection, we immediately see a flicker of realization, horror and remorse on his face once he snaps out of his rage. Heâs too proud to admit to anything yet, but it helps sell his âWhat have I done?â remorse that we see later, and his sacrifice for Arielâs sake in the climax. But here, he seems to have no such remorse. Heâs hardly a father; just a tyrant.
- Flounder looks unappealing and Jacob Tremblayâs voice canât save that. Sebastian looks even more unappealing, and Daveed Diggsâ obnoxiously high-pitched voice only makes his character worse. Scuttle looks unappealing, and Awkwafina creates such a different character with her performance that I donât get why they bothered even keeping the âScuttleâ name. Much like with The Lion King remake, it again shows animationâs superiority in this regard.
- Ariel's hair is boring regular red and not vivid real red. Thatâs a fail on such an absurdly fundamental level, as well as a disservice to Halle Bailey who could have rocked such hair.
- Ariel's character, in the script, is as sanitized as I feared. Sheâs more of a socially conscious fighter for equality rather than a teenager realistically out primarily for herself and her own ambitions, her sexual lust for Eric is toned down to near non-existence, sheâs much less of a rebel since she only goes to the surface for the first time when going to see Ericâs ship, sheâs made to have far more hesitation in her deal with Ursula to the point she almost backs out entirely until Ursula cranks up her pressure campaign, and as I will talk more about later gets some needless âgirlbossâ additions the same way previous Disney heroines in live-action remakes have. Thank God for Halle Bailey, who minimizes the damage as best as she can.
- In the first half of the movie all the way through to the first half of âPoor Unfortunate Soulsâ, Melissa McCarthy is way too understated as Ursula. Sheâs doing a campy Bette Midler or Eartha Kitt style of voice, but doesnât go big enough on her lines and absolutely lacks the skin-crawling, psychotic menace that Pat Carroll so effortlessly provided the character with.
- Restoring the deleted concept of Ursula being Tritonâs sister and Arielâs aunt was pointless.Â
- "Under the Sea". Beyond the issues of the underwater world on display not working as well as in animation and Daveed Diggsâ ear poison of a voice and delivery not holding even a candlewick to Samuel E Wright, Ariel joins in on the song by the end! Excuse me? The whole point of the song is to convince her to give up her interest in the human world! Her singing along (without being forced to because itâs part of a stage musical rehearsal that sheâs obligated to partake in, as is the case in Kingdom Hearts II) is akin to signing off on that!Â
- Thereâs a plot hole about Ericâs kingdom. Apparently itâs incredibly paranoid and isolationist, and part of why Eric wants to explore other places and make connections with them is so that the kingdom âdoesnât get left behindâ. That doesnât stop its village and marketplace from being a bustling hub of multicultural diversity! Which is it? Is the kingdom isolationist or not?
- Related to the above: Ericâs song, âWild Uncharted Watersâ. Yawn.
- Also, Ariel's sisters are all different ethnicities. I assumed this meant that King Triton slept around, which certainly wouldnât be out of place for a Greek god like heâs styled after. But no, the sisters still speak of âMotherâ as if they all have the same mother! How does that work?
- Flotsam and Jetsam don't talk. Boo! Let them talk!
- There is an absolutely pointless change where Ursula, apparently having no real confidence in herself, cheats in her deal with Ariel by slipping in an amnesia potion so that Ariel forgets she needs to kiss Eric in three daysâ time to stay human forever. OK, but why does that prevent her from retaining the memory of Sebastian later straight-up telling her she needs to kiss Eric? And why is she still that heartbroken when Eric gets engaged to Vanessa, given that she no longer thinks it means she wonât get to kiss him and thus wonât remain human?Â
- Instead of the newly human Ariel making it to shore and getting dressed in a sail before Max sniffs her out and leads Eric to her, she gets caught in a fisher boatâs net, the fisherman gives her a cloak to wear, and he...brings her to the castle? Why? When you fish out a mute girl adrift at sea, why does your mind jump to the freaking castle and its prince as the go-to solution for getting her help? And like I said before, it actually takes away from Eric and Arielâs bond, since him finding her and, despite his disappointment that she canât be the girl who saved him since sheâs mute, still taking care of her personally since thatâs the decent thing to do was a great showing of Eric being a nice guy whom you could understand Ariel loving.
- Actually, the usage of Max is disappointing in general. Eric saves him on the burning ship so that important plot point is checked off, but him having earlier met Ariel and memorized her scent ends up having no pay-off since he isnât the one to lead Eric to Ariel. On top of this, he doesnât get to be the one who causes Vanessaâs shell to break and Ariel to get her voice back later, so thatâs another important plot function heâs deprived of. And heâs not even a sheepdog anymore, heâs a bearded collie. What was stopping the filmmakers from using a sheepdog!?
- The stupid little jade mermaid sculpture that Eric calls âmy Little Mermaid". OK, so is the movieâs title supposed to be in reference to that now? Why include that as a thing at all?
- "Kiss The Girl", beyond being ruined by Daveed Diggsâ voice, has the pointless lyrical change to make sure Eric has Arielâs consent before kissing her. As the new lyrics say:Â âUse your words to ask herâ. Except...Eric doesnât fucking do that! He leans in to kiss Ariel, with her also leaning in to kiss him, at the end just like in the original, without him having asked her beforehand if itâs OK! So a classic, perfectly good love song got altered for nothing!
- "The Scuttlebutt". The only good part about it was Ariel hating it as much as I did!Â
- Instead of the animals all divebombing Vanessa at her and Ericâs wedding, with Max dealing the finishing blow that makes her lose the shell containing Arielâs voice, we have Ariel being a girlboss and....engaging Vanessa in a cat fight over the shell, ending with Ariel grabbing it and breaking it herself. Because a cat fight between women is so much more progressive?
- The climax ends with Ariel and Eric swapping places, and Ariel killing Ursula with the ruined ship. This doesnât work, since not only does Ariel not know how to steer a ship and she looks kind of ridiculous sliding around the deck on her fish tail, Ursula going after Eric specifically rather than Ariel makes no sense (Ariel just killed Flotsam and Jetsam, Ursula is pissed off at her above all else) and Eric not killing Ursula means Triton has no impetus for learning that he was wrong about humans. Maybe this wouldnât be a problem if Triton stayed dead in this version (since, yâknow, he actually died), but alas he gets resurrected once Ursula is killed and loses the trident. And sure enough, heâs learned nothing, which leads us directly into...
- The Ending. Ariel just accepts living under the sea from now on and becomes severely depressed about it, which somehow makes Triton change his mind and turn her human (she was depressed after he destroyed her grotto and he clearly didnât give a fuck; whatâs the difference now?) Eric had also accepted he and Ariel werenât meant to be after all, but once she shows up as a human again he instantly reverse on that. Queen Selina sadly remarked that the human world and mer-world just werenât meant to exist together...but then Ariel is made human again and gets together with Eric, and then she says the exact opposite and endorses the two worlds existing together! Everyone is just changing their mind at the drop of a hat; itâs ridiculous! And rather than ending on a wedding with a beautiful choir version of âPart of Your Worldâ being sung, the movie abruptly ends with Eric and Ariel sailing off in a boat toward a ship that they will use to explore other kingdoms and further connect the two worlds together in the process while the generic instrumental âPart of Your Worldâ plays. Thereâs just....no real heart to it. Which sums up this movieâs problem: like the vast majority of these live-action remakes, it was not made with the same heart as the animated original. The best that can be said about it is that itâs not the worst of the remakes, and that it provides a great stepping stone for Halle Baileyâs professional acting career. Beyond that, itâs useless.

Put On Your Raincoats | Unwilling Lovers (Colt, 1977)
Now, this is coming from someone whoâs watched a few too many movies that merit a colossal âWatch at Your Own Riskâ label, so take this with a grain of salt, but whatâs most surprising about this movie, which is a porno about a necrophile serial killer, is how not soul crushing the experience is. To be clear, this isnât a pleasant movie to sit through, but I think the griminess is⌠maybe not alleviated, but at least complicated by the sheer weirdness. A lot of that comes down to the lead performance by Zebedy Colt, who also directed. Colt as an actor I know primarily for playing sickos and freaks, but what I think distinguishes him here from other porn actors who specialized in such roles is the seeming lack of agency. Jamie Gillis and George Payne played such roles to memorable effect as well, but you look at their characters and get the sense that theyâre in control and might behave in ways you might be able to predict (not that such knowledge would offer much sense of safety). Colt plays this character as a clashing combination of tics, which creates a certain instability, as if his actions are at least in part out of his hands. (He takes a similar approach to his character in Sex Wish, but in that movie he is frighteningly forceful and takes control of the proceedings in ways that totally destabilize the movie.) Now I wouldnât call this movie a work of psychological realism, but given that his character has the mind of a child and imitates what he sees and hears, and given that the only instances of sex he sees are marked by violence explicit or implicit, thereâs a certain logic to him engaging in murder and necrophilia.
All of this sounds unsettling, and I suppose it is, but I think Colt both through his performance and through his direction injects an element of camp into the proceedings. Colt does a Jerry Lewis impression when in child mode and does a macho man parody when heâs imitating other characters. And Renee Sanz, as his domineering mother, plays her role cartoonishly, like a parody of a bad Southern Gothic novel. And while the movie doesnât dance around its subject matter, it also doesnât rub your face in it the way something like the similarly themed Forced Entry does. (âNot as bad as Forced Entry! Four stars!â says Variety.) I suppose some of that might be the ragged, not entirely competent filmmaking, but when you have a supposedly horrific murder scene where the actresses conveniently duck out of the frame to get stabbed and stumble back in clutching their stomachs unconvincingly, itâs hard not to chuckle at least a bit. I think Colt has demonstrated his knack for weirdness elsewhere, so Iâll give him the benefit of the doubt, even if the heavily degraded VHS rip I watched, which makes everyone look radioactive, did his craft no favours. (Coltâs striped sweater and red shoes will sear your retinas.) This was also shot on Coltâs country property (apparently the same weekend as Terriâs Revenge!), and I think the setting goes some way to diffuse the pungency of the proceedings.
If anything, the fact that the copy made everything unappealing probably works in the movieâs favour as horror, although given the great female cast, there are, how you say, limits to how unpleasant the proceedings can be no matter how much jagged editing Colt deploys. (Saying that I found the ladies in the necrophile porno hot would be a surefire way to end up on a watchlist, so I wonât say it. In those words. And certainly not out loud. âNecrophile porno has super hot cast! Four stars!â says Variety. There, they said it, not me.) This has a few Colt regulars like Jody Maxwell, Terri Hall and Nancy Dare, all of whom I like seeing in these things. Peter Andrews in a recent Rialto Report interview recalls the pleasant atmosphere on set, and I do think you get a slight vibe that this is a group of people who enjoyed coming together to make a messed up porno movie. The movie wisely also casts C.J. Laing and Annie Sprinkle, who are great to have in your movie if you want to make weird, off putting or extreme sexual content bearable to watch. Only Annie Sprinkle could make a question about âkinky shitâ sound wholesome.

I saw the new Little Mermaid
Disney really saw Mera eat a flower and said, "That scene alone is what netted Aquaman a billion at the box office, we're putting that in our movie" and you know what, they were right
anyway The Little Mermaid (1989) is my favorite animated Disney film and I'm not going to pretend this is as good as it but it's far and away the best live action remake since Disney decided that the live action remakes were going to be functionally exactly the same as the originals
(It's been years since I've seen live action Cinderella and Jungle Book, I don't remember well enough to say how those compare to this)
Halle Bailey was amazing and sometimes her voice was so close to Jodi Benson's when she spoke that it threw me for a loop
I was really surprised by Melissa McCarthy's performance, she nailed Ursula's vibe and mannerisms. I still think the part should have gone to a drag queen but she rocked it
I guess there will be spoilers below the cut but also it's The Little Mermaid and y'all already know how it goes
was anyone going to tell me that Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men was Ariel's dad or was I just supposed to see this movie for myself
why can Scuttle breathe and speak underwater
I thought it was really cute that Jodi Benson had a cameo to give Ariel a dinglehopper
this went overlong, the original told the whole story perfectly at like an hour and twenty-two minutes and this added fifty-two minutes to that, how long do you think a child's attention span lasts
That being said while a lot of the added stuff wasn't needed, there wasn't any garbage put in that fundamentally changed what made the original story work (looking at you, Mulan remake) so that was nice
the girl who played Vanessa/Ursula in disguise looked so much like Melissa McCarthy, great job casting department
The new songs are fine, I don't see them becoming classics but they're all right and I feel bad for any song that has to go up against Howard Ashman's originals
The colors in this movie are gorgeous, I could watch Ariel's iridescent scales all day
I thought it was cute that in Eric's expanded back story, they gave him the same Special Interest in collecting that Ariel has
I have seen Eric's actor somewhere before and I have no clue where, I thought he was in Bridgerton but he wasn't and nothing on his imdb looks familiar, this will haunt me
Somehow we had to get rid of "Don't underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE" because that's not a good message and we can't trust the audience to understand they're not supposed to take the villain at face value but the lyrics to Kiss the Girl remain unchanged as far as I could tell?
anyway it was fun, if you've got two hours and fifteen minutes to kill I recommend it

Every time Frank and Jodie walk past a mannequin, maybe even a bust, sheâll side eye him and murmur âWatch out might get youâ or something similar.
No one else understands why she finds it so funny.
Frank does and often has a face similar to >:c

Climax Foods won at the Good Food awards for their vegan cheese but they were disqualified! The rules claimed the product had to be retail ready and could nnot contain kokum butter.

Hooray for Carol Burnett and the cliffhanger that makes me suddenly very excited for this show to come back!!Â

So.. Harrison Butker, who I had never heard of, seems like a real pig. The Kansas City Chief seems completely unaware that he does not live in1824. He attacked pride month, the transgender community and working women. His commencement speech at the Benedictine college has been poo pooâd by nearly everyone including the college itself and especially the Benedictine sisters. They released a statement: The Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college donât believe this represents what the founders envisioned. Instead of promoting unity, his comments seem to foster division. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and Godâs people including many women whom we have taught and influenced over the past 160 years.** The NFL has also spoke up to let us know these are not their views.** The only people afraid of a strong, financially independent and successful female, is men like this. And the only reason they are afraid is because it diminishes their power and their control. -Celeste YvonneÂ

On his visit to Biden : âThe most legislatively successful President in my lifetimeâ. -Mark HamillÂ
*****Â
Trump only seems to pay attention in court when they are looking at clips of Trump .** Why do we have to hear about the gas and his general odor? ** I can see why the man looks up to President Jackson because this sounds familiar. âHe assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws, but in derogation of both.â - Andrew Jacksonâs Senate censure which was removed 3 years later. ** Does Fox news know how a trial works? They sure want special treatment for their boy. They kept up the mantra: âIs this America?â Yes, the process is working. Duh?! ** Rod Blagojevich endorsed Trump. A bunch of the minions put on their red ties and showed up at the trial. J.D. Vance who once called out Trump is now one of the biggest VP wannabes. Is he a psychopath or did he also drink the flavor-aid? ** It seems that this is what it all comes down to. So many people think they can do any fucking thing they want with no consequences. Was he more influenced by Nietzsche or Cohn? ** As the defense began, witness Robert Costello was a smart ass to the judge and the courtroom was cleared. There is no respect for anyone. Trump vowed to testify but he did not. ** Eric was there every day and Don Jr. Showed up on the final day of testimony. On May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts. He will be sentenced in July. I know weâre all glad that he is starting to pay for his sins but we canât drop the ball now. November is coming. **âIâm a very innocent man.â -Scary Clown 45/34. The trump trial is done and the Hunter Biden trial begins. ** Chad Daybell was also found guilty May 30, a great day for justice.Â
*****Â
Now that Trump has been found guilty, his cult members are angry. They do not seem to want to face reality. Why is violence always their answer? ** Justice has been served. Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter and a threat to this country. He can now add 1 more title to his list- a felon. - JB Pritzker ** People keep saying, âHow can he run for President when he canât even vote?â I do not understand this because from what I can tell, When a Florida resident is convicted, the state defers to the state the conviction came from. In NY, he CAN vote IF he is not incarcerated. But, I mean itâs time.. Lock him up. ** Social media went crazy with pics of Hillary outside the jail cell and gold Trump sneakers with ankle monitors. ** I wonder how many people in here have cars? - TrumpÂ
*****Â
Colbert called Trumpâs campaign The complaining for Applause tour. ** DC Weekly is a publication out of Russia. It is said to be widely read by republicans. The paper loves to call the Truth Social crowd, âuseful idiots.â When I hear Trump trying to make sense of what they, âbelieve,â It seems like wrestling with dementia. ** I nearly escaped death. - Trump ** I often think that the left gets so perplexed by some of the right is that this country should have progressed so much more by now. People should be much more educated now and with more knowledge there should be less racism and differences to fight over. There should be some common ideas we agree on but ignorance keeps that from happening. It is like the old slavers and successionists have just begat Trumpers.Â
*****Â
Truth Social lost $328 mil. ** So what is it? Is Biden a mastermind or is he a dottering old fool? Trump claims both. ** Trump issued a cease and desist for the Trump movie that premiered at Cannes. Of course he did. The man lives for court! It will be great publicity. ** This is my country. This guy wants to destroy it. -Robert DeNiroÂ

The Pace Program in Illinois is a new all -inclusive care for the elderly. The program, which should be available in June, will simplify access to services and prevent fragmented care. The elderly should be able to stay in their homes longer and things should be more streamlined. I sure hope this works because it can be a mess to get started in the system.Â

Richard Blumenthal informed us that Justice Alito had a âstop the stealâ sign at his house. He flew an upside- down flag outside his house in January along with other pro Trumpers to show support. Alito claims it was his wife (just like Menedez), retaliating against the Pro Biden neighbors. This is not the only flag that they flew. Other property flew the appeal to heaven flag. Dick Durbin has asked him to recuse himself from the Jan. 6 cases. He refuses! Pretty fucking unpatriotic Mr. Alito!! It figures that you would have no respect for our flag. ** Hey.. Thomas! Alito! Resign!!Â
*****Â
It turns out that RFK Jr. has a lifeless worm in his brain. A past divorce claimed he couldnât earn much for the ex because of memory loss etc. from worm and mercury poisoning. Kevin Spacey and Rob Schneider have endorsed him. So... Candidates in their 80âs or in their 70âs with worm? What? ** RFK Jr. Says that he opposes gender affirming care and hormone therapy for minors. So.. Do you want the government in your life or not??Â
*****Â
Joe Biden is holding back some weapons to Israel just as Reagan and Bush did before him. ** The State Department gave $275 mil in aid to Ukraine. ** Oreos are being made again in Ukraine after the factory was repaired.Â

The Florida Republicans wanted Barron Trump to be at the convention this year since he is 18. The Republican convention will be held in Milwaukee July 15-18. Scary Clown 45 gave his blessing but Melaniaâs camp said, âno.â Apparently, he has prior commitments. ** Mike Johnson and other court jesters showed up dressed like Trump to support him in court. Talk about showboating! ** Jeff Sessions was back in the news when Michael Cohen testified about trying to quash investigations into campaign contributions. ** Cohen was stealing from the Trump organization. Cohen still lives in a Trump building. What?Â
*****Â
Cannes brought controversy this year. Francis Ford Coppola with Megalopolis and Kevin Costner with Horizon have bet their own $ on their epics. Other films include The Apprentice, about a younger Trump that stars Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. The film is having trouble finding a distributor. Bird and The Substance are getting lots of buzz! There is also Kinds of Kindness and All we Imagine as light. Meryl Streep and George Lucas received honorary awards. There are rumors that the French media would release a list of alleged abusive actors and directors. ** Black Dog won the Un Certain Regard, Anora won the Pale dâOr, the women of Emilia Perez won best actress and Jesse Plemons took best actor. Best screenplay went to the Substance.Â
*****Â
Red Lobster has filed for bankruptcy and closed dozens of stores. Everybody blames the endless shrimp. I am telling you, itâs the biscuits. Switching to using frozen and not fresh makes all the difference. Besides, middle of the road eateries are falling away.Â

The late- night hosts make fun of local news that all repeat the same lines. The latest was,â I canât believe itâs May1st.â I grew up with the people who said this stuff all the time. This generic dialogue really works for those people. I have never really understood those who say the same things every year, are surprised when the first snow comes or wonder at how it gets dark so early. These things should no longer be a surprise to adults!Â
*****Â
Kristi Noem seems to have gone down for killing animals. I guess there is a limit! ** Her book was changed before it even came out. She talked of meeting Kim Jong Un but she didnât and wonât admit it but took it out of the book? What other lies are in there? Â

The Met Gala came. The garden theme brought such interesting looks. Mindy Kaling and Demi Moore had such structure. J Lo showed it all and Cardi B needed 10 men. My favorites were Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Gigi Hadid, La La Anthony, Nicole Kidman, Lana Del Ray, Ayo Edebiri, Usher, Lily James, Cole Escola, Kieran Culkin, Jazz Charton, Sydney Sweeney, Michelle Williams, Meg Ryan, Daniel Levy, Cynthia Erivo, Odell Beckham, Josh OâConner and Sarah Paulson.

Travis & Mimi ~~~~ Chocolate with my Wife
Marie Hall, known as Mimi, was the answer to Travisâ prayers. She was a BYU graduate and loved the outdoors. A beautiful brunette, Mimi was educated and devout. Travis met her at church in January 2008 while Mimi was giving a talk for the Sunday mass. Lightning struck! Travis was mesmerized by this girl, and made sure to compliment her as soon as Mimi was done. Two weeks later, Travis asked Mimi on a date.
Unfortunately, Lisa Andrews, who was still dating Travis at the time, had no idea her boyfriend had set sights on somebody else. And Jodi had no idea Travis had met his future wife, at least not yet. Mimi was somebody who would change the future for all of them.
Travis and Mimiâs first date consisted of dinner, a trip to Barnes and Noble and a chat over hot chocolate.
February 26, 2008
05:09:02 TRAVIS to CHRIS HUGHES:Â I just spent the last 2 hours drinking hot chocolate with my wife. I got more of a vibe she is interested in me tonight. I am so freakin happy. We are going to a rock gym on Friday night!!!!!
But while Travis was practically foaming at the mouth, Mimi knew right away, there werenât any sparks. Within a week, Mimi started seeing another guy from her singleâs ward. But that was a short-lived deal only lasting a few weeks. As soon as Travis found out she was available again, he immediately got in touch and asked for another date. Thinking Travis was âniceâ and not wanting to write him off too soon, Mimi agreed to go on another date with him. But again, there were no sparks, and Mimi describes their goodnight hug as âawkward.â
Travis, stuck in delusions and daydreams, had a slightly different take:
February 26, 2008
05:43:10 TRAVIS to SKY:Â Trust me she knows Iâm interested. At the porch I told her I feel like a goof standing at the porch and she laughed and said yeah it can be awkward. Then we talked for a while and then it got quiet and then we both lookd at each other and started laughing. It was a pretty good moment. Then she stepped in and gave me a hug and said Iâm making it hard on you J It put me in a euphoric bliss!!!
March 6, 2008
UhhâŚ? Meanwhile, back at T-Doggâs ranch, while Travis and Mimi are in âeuphoric blissâ sharing hot chocolate and awkward hugs one moment, the next Jodi is recovering from semen in her eye.
17:38:55 JODI:Â Haha my left eye is still blood-shot. You have some potent stuff T-dogg ;)[[MORE]]
March 13, 2008
19:08:28 SKY to TRAVIS:Â You are not following âThe Secretâ why do people keep saying, âI didnât know Travis and Jodi were back together.â
20:20:33 TRAVIS:Â I have not spent one minute with Jodi since Iâve been here.
20:23:28 HOLLIE ON SKYâS PHONE:Â This is hollie I just happen to be next to sky and I am so calling pinnochio on you
Even though Travis believes heâs on the road to the altar with Mimi, a woman âsent from heavenâ, heâs still having anal sex with his stalker, Jodi. So what was his game plan? Was he going to marry Mimi and still sleep around? Even if he could cut the ties with Jodi and finally get rid of her, would that be the end of his deviant sex life? Or would there be some other skank waiting to fulfil his dirty needs? It didnât matter if it was Jodi or somebody else, what was broken inside Travis remained broken and marrying Mimi wasnât going to fix that. So again, what was his game plan?
There are five pivotal things that happen in April and May.
April 2 - Jodi moves back to Yreka.
April 21 - Travis decides to ask Mimi to go to Cancun.
May 1 â Mimi accepts the Cancun invitation.
May 10 â Jodi and Travis have phone sex and Jodi records it.
May 15 - Mimi gives Travis the âfriendsâ talk.
Even though Mimi was giving Travis a bit of the cold shoulder, he was not giving up. He was contacting her either by phone, text or email, every single day. Maybe Travisâ attitude was if he could sucker folks by the dozen into PPL, he could eventually land the right gal. It didnât matter if he wasnât the right dude for her, what mattered was what he got out of the deal. And â LOL â a sucker is born every day, right?
Mimi testified âhe was very interested in becoming good friends.â
But we all know that was not Travisâ intention. Maybe it was part of it, but he had much grander plans for his dream girl. As far as the Cancun trip is concerned, Travis and his dream woman also had fundamentally different ideas about that getaway.
Chris Hughes knew all about Travisâ intentions for Mimi and the two of them discussed the best way to ask her to go. Travis was afraid of scaring Mimi away. So, Chris thought it would be good to make the invitation as non-threatening as possible. He suggests:
April 28, 2008
03:08:54 CHRIS: Text her this⌠What up? I won an all inclusive trip for two to cancun. But as you know, I only need one [room]. So I gotta nother trip [room] up for grabs. Want it? If not, Iâll give to Chris and Sky, so they have a room for their nanny. Halla back!
03:16:21 TRAVIS:Â I thought I might say something like how would you like to lose your virginity in mexico.
03:25:35 CHRIS:Â Or that. Seriously though, sky and I think u ought to text her that. It is very non threatening and to the point and it doesnât sound like you care either way which is good.
03:35:13 TRAVIS:Â Yeah I like that. I think I will hit her up Tuesday. I vented a lot to her. I think I have more confidence now.
Now, you can look at this conversation as two guys simply joking about getting lucky, which by itself, is no big deal. But you also need to understand it in the context of Travis and Mimi. Travis was on this downward spiral of collecting and using women. Mimi was not some other hook up for him; she was not a casual deal.
Thereâs nothing wrong with hopes or expectations that a trip will turn romantic. What was wrong was that Travis couldnât be honest about his intentions and had to scheme to get her to go. He resorted to trickery, which was essentially the same manipulative shit that Jodi was pulling. Plotting and scheming to get his desired outcome.
Hereâs what Mimi thought, via her court testimony in January 2013, would be the arrangement for their trip [1: 50: 39]:
########
âHe let me know that we would be staying with a family, an LDS family, and I would be sharing a room with one of their daughters, a little girl.â
This family that Mimiâs referring to is the Hughes family. Based on her testimony, you get the impression that she either didnât know the Hughes family or Travis wasnât specific about who they were. The Hughes family, Chris and Sky, were attending the Cancun trip and they were bringing their young daughter, Zion, along with their babysitter as well.
Letâs take another look at that text exchange between Chris and Travis. The two men were trying to figure out how to get Mimi to go on a trip with Travis without scaring her away. Travis, of course, wanted Mimi in his room but he couldnât exactly tell his Mormon prospect that that was the plan. Instead, he sold her on the idea she could share a room with the Hughesâ young daughter, or some similar arrangement, and based on that, Mimi decided she would go.
Mimi, to her credit, is more honest than Travis and makes sure he understands what her intentions are for the trip. Travis, no surprise, doesnât take it very well.
May 15, 2008
20:43:14 TRAVIS to SKY:Â Mimi just gave me the I just want to be your friend talk. I want to kill myself. I have F-d up my life.
On the surface it may seem like Travis is being a total drama queen over this woman he barely knows. But, when you look at it closer, you can see the culmination of months, even years, of frustration bubbling inside of him. Travis saying he has fucked up his life is unfortunately true. In fact, it was pretty prophetic considering his life would be over in just a few weeks.
May 15, 2008
20:47:26 CHRIS:Â So is she using u for the trip still or did you kick her to the curb? You will be fine t. This was a road, for whatever reason you had to travel. U get that?
21:21:04 TRAVIS:Â Yeah. Iâm still gonna take her. She still plans on going. I shot myself in the foot by saying when I asked her that she wasnât obligated we were just going as friends. Oh well, she can be my chastity belt in Cancun.
21:23:03 CHRIS: J She may also fall for the tdogg in cancun. Bring your leopard thong.
One week later, May 28, Jodi steals her grandfatherâs gun. Around this same time Mimi receives an anonymous phone call threatening her. This detail was not shared in court during Jodiâs original trial, it was recently found out when Travisâ former roommate, Enrique Cortez, did an interview during the penalty phase. Hereâs what Enrique had to say:
From Websleuths [post #682]
âWe ran into Mimi Hall, who was traveling with her parents. While the 3 of us spent a few minutes together at the grave, she had told us that before the murder, she got a harassing phone call. The only thing I remember Mimi saying about it was something along the lines of, âI know what youâre doing; you better stop it.â Lisa got a letter, Mimi got a phone callâ Enrique Cortez said.
Can you see it? Jodiâs mind is made up, sheâs not turning back. And Travis has no idea his fate has been sealed. It wasnât a random act here or there that did, this was an accumulation of behaviour patterns building up over time, and quite a lot of time, many months, even years. Travisâ head is somewhere else, somewhere off in the clouds. Heâs running around, towards something but at the same time away from something else. Heâs also going nowhere. Heâs chasing tail and heâs chasing his own tail, going around in circles. In May Travis feels he has one more chance, one last shot at Mimi. The stakes are high because in his book, Mimi is the best - and most beautiful thing - that has ever happened to him. Sheâs perfect. In fact sheâs so great Travis is starting to get serious about himself for the first time. He senses Mimiâs hesitation about him, and whatâs more, heâs starting to get a little real about it.
Mimiâs right. He needs to walk the walk. He wants to be a better man, not just for her, but because itâs who he wants to be. He wants to be better. Heâs going to try.
Cancun, a world away from Mesa, represents a perfect world Travis is dreaming of. Where is a decent guy and heâs with a decent girl, and everything works out. But Cancun is also an exotic and faraway place, and there Travis will be in unfamiliar territory. Maybe there will be genuine moments, maybe there will be soul searching. Maybe Travis will actually reach a major turning point in his life. And in the background, there will be an impossibly blue ocean and sunsets and long walks on the sand. Everything in his life might be mended, healed, restored, made whole, if he can just make Mimi love him.
But Cancun is still a few weeks away and Travis isnât going to wait for his dream girl. He has other fish to fry, and one of their names is Ms. Chaitanya Lay.

What are some of your favorite recent or all time favorite red carpet looks? đ
Oh man, to do all time would be impossible, it feels like, haha, I love looking at red carpets and have so many favourites! I'd probably need to be given a time window to curate some faves, sooo lets do the last few months given its been festival season?
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Cannes Film Festival 2022) in this flower dress that I'm obsessed with invites you in.
Tessa Thompson at Venice Film Festival! High fashion little red riding hood vibes, I love it.
Tilda Swinton, alien goddess also at Venice Film Festival. I would watch this movie, along with:
Jodie Turner Smith at Venice Film Festival! I didn't love all her looks at the festival, but this one is perfection and she looks stunnnning.
Also loved Rebecca Hall at Cannes Film Festival this year! Gorge! And Indonesian actress, Raline Shah, also at Cannes:
Goooorgeous.
And finally Patricia Clarkson in Venice. I find metallic really hit or miss, particularly on the red carpet, but I just think she looks so stunning and these sort of metal-yet-oceanic tones are perfection.
I'm sure I'll have a lot more as the festival season continues, but these are defs some of my faves so far.
#can you tell i love colour haha#i'm bored of the lingerie look that's back at the moment#these all just feel really fresh and unique#fashion#welcome to my ama

well it looks like at least becoming elizabeth (the new starz show about elizabeth i) will have accurate costume judging by the new set photos (french hoods and partlets alert) more wolf hall vibes then tsp so at least it will have that going for it
Iâll be so honest anon, if you loved Wolf Hall I support that and I do not begrudge you that, but I found that LARGELY boring as balls? Mostly I just enjoyed psycho H8--Major Winters was a good casting. Obviously there were some great performances, it had Claire Foy for Godâs sake, but it just wasnât my bag lol. More my bag than The Spanish Princess, but I hope we get MORE interest than that.
I mean, Iâm kind of over Tudor stuff in general, but I do think there are interesting things that can be done with Becoming Elizabeth if theyâre sensitive about it. Obviously, her teenage years were incredibly perilous. Iâll be interested to see if theyâll be exploring her sexual trauma and the debate surrounding whether that, her trauma caused by her fatherâs murders of her mother and stepmother, or political theory motivated her decision to be unmarried.... or all three. Thereâs a lot of interesting stuff to delve into there. That and the Jodie Turner-Smith Anne Boleyn series sound really interesting.

CRIMSON is the only shared daughter of SERENITY SAVAGE & CAISON KAHLAE. a product of a one night stand between close friends lead to the birth of a scorpio. she was always spoiled by both parents, both parties went back to their marriages as if nothing happened. CRIMSON doesnât always go by her fatherâs name or mothers, instead itâs just CRIMSON. she knows itâs easy to recognize that sheâs the daughter of the ( san fran 49ers ) super bowl champion and hall-of-famer. CRIMSON spent a lot of time between homes growing up, merging two different family types. the SAVAGE household was rambunctious & the KAHLAE household had a more peaceful vacation vibe, both of those attributes are seen in CRIM. having three grandmothers made her well rounded. her maternal & paternal grandmothers were both very serious about teaching her where she came from and her lineage.
The SAVAGE family has a tradition of themed family photos, they do them in different cities, states, countries, etc. CRIMSON and her siblings look forward to the moments where they get to join together to create a family photo for their album. CRIMSON & her parents took similar photos when she was an infant up until she turned 4 years old, it was the only time she saw her parents together in such a light. SERENITY spent majority of her time making sure their adopted children felt at home with her step-mother DAMARIS, she also spent a generous amount of time making up for her infidelity. CRIMSON was taught by DAMARIS â â emotions are for private time, never let anyone think they got the best of you. â words she still lives by, she keeps her feelings at bay until she gets into the studio. drugs became her best friend because they leave her feeling invincible, nothing can hurt her. her older brother is noted to be her holy grail although sheâd never tell him that to his face. he was always there for her when she needed most, sometimes she didnât even have to say it â he just knew. growing up in a house almost full of girls was interesting, she got along with all of them for the most part, but grew a stronger bond with malia, jodi, & savannah as of recently. her father is her best friend, someone she relies on in her everyday routine. they spend time bonding over sports & going to events.

The Last Descendant (Sam Winchester x Reader) pt.5/Final Chapter
Disclaimer: Tumblr is being weird again so if youâre using the app, the âKeep Readingâ cut off line may not be visible inspite of the fact that I always insert one.
Hi everyone! I originally planned on posting this on Friday but your girl is a busy bee and had some personal stuff to take care of. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the final part to this story, I had lots of fun writing it.
Summary to pt.5: Youâve managed to win a battle against Michael in the woods, but the war is not over just yet. Heâs powerful - more than anyone youâve ever encountered - but you also have some aces up your sleeve. Â
Warnings: slight cursing, character death
Word count: 2.140-ish
PART 1. PART 2. PART 3. PART 4.
As the angels have disappeared, the force holding you flat against the trees dissipates, causing you all to fall to your knees. The first thing you realize when you get up is that thereâs only three of you left â Kaiaâs taken off without prior notice. Your blood runs cold for a minute but then you find the spear in the tall grass where you threw it. Sam makes sure everyone is well enough to travel and following Jodyâs suggestion, you drive to her place.
Itâs already dark when you pull up in her driveway. Neither you nor Sam have said a single word throughout the ride and as the engine dies, you feel an urge to change this.
âSam...â you put a hand on his thigh âIâm gonna do everything I can in order to replicate the spear and weâll get him back, okay? I promise.â
He puts his large one over yours and squeezes it.
âI know, Y/N. Now, letâs get inside and take a look at your wound.â
The interior of Jodyâs house reminds you of your childhood home, and a sense of nostalgia washes over you, mixed with hope that one day even you can have something like this. Maybe with Sam. Who knows?
âAlright, the guest room is ready.â Jody informs you, pulling you out of your thoughts. âA bathroom opens directly from it, clean towels can be found in the cabinet. And if youâre hungry thereâs food in the fridge, knock yourself out.â
âThanks, Jody.â
âAs for you, Sam, Iâm sorry, but I donât have any more guest rooms, so youâre stuck with the couch.â she pouts.
âItâs okay, uhm, weâre kind of used to sleeping together.â Sam flashes an awkward smile.
Jody appears startled for a second but soon regaines composure.
âIn that case, excuse me for a second. I need to prepare another set of pillows in the guest room.â
When everythingâs all set you decide to scrub off the combination of dirt, blood and sweat thatâs defiling your body. Usually you shower with an almost boiling hot water, but this time you must settle for medium temperature as the scars and bruises donât really appreciate the heat. You nearly punch Sam in the face when he pulls the floral shower curtain open, but realizing itâs him, youâre able to stop yourself in time.
âGod, Sam, do not do that again! I ainât the screaming kind of scared, Iâm the might-break-your-nose kind of scared.â
âNoted!â he smiles, stepping into the bathtub.
You donât question what heâs doing in there with you. Maybe for the first time ever in your life, you let someone else take control of a situation, and to much of your surprise, you discover itâs not that bad. He gently cleanses every inch of your body, with special attention to the scars.
âYou know, I really think your shoulder could use a couple of stitches.â he whispers. You can hear a little worry in his tone.
âNah, Iâve had worse I didnât patch up and Iâm still around.â you reply, swiping aside a wet strand of hair that was sticking to his forehead and you kiss him softly.
When youâre all finished, you dress up in the clothes Jody left you on the foot of the bed and pick up the spear from the corner of the room.
âWhoah, what are you doing?â Sam asks incredulously.
âWell, what does it look like Iâm doing?â he opens his mouth to speak but you continue âYou know what, donât answer that. Iâm gonna go to the garage and try to replicate this.â
âNo, youâre not. Look, sweetheart, letâs be sensible here. You havenât slept in a long time and I can assure you that the worldâs not gonna end in those few hours when you do. I talked to Cas and he was able to track down Michael in Missouri. If anything happens, weâll know firsthand. You need to be strong both mentally and phyisically to do what youâre about to⌠you know Iâm right, so donât fight it!â he delivers a lecture while taking the weapon out of your hand.
You pull a face but give in to his reasoning anyway. This time you manage to get three full hours of sleep before the nightmares start tainting your subconscious. Terrifying images you havenât seen in a long time flood your mind, and you successfully wake the whole house up with your screams. You can hear Samâs soothing vocie and Jodyâs nervous inquiries about your well-being before you fully come around.
âIâmâŚIâm alright. Iâm fine, really.â you stutter unconvincingly while running a hand through your hair. âUhm, Jody?â
âYeah?â
âCould you please show me your garage? Iâll collect the tools from Samâs car and get right down to work.â
The weapon contains an ancient magic youâve never encountered before, or even anything similar to it. The runes carved into the shaft belong to a language uknown to you, making your job all the more difficult. Â Nevertheless, you try your best, as always. First, you recreate the shape of the spear and its head, then join the two together. Replicating the runes requires the most time â you only realize just how much when the first lights of morning illuminate the garage and Sam brings you breakfast. You take a few bites of your toast and drink your coffee in one gulp.
âOkay, so here goes everythingâŚâ you mutter as you begin performing a spell, which should transfer some of the magic from the original weapon into the replica. The incantation you recite next supposedly enhances the transferred magic.
âIt looks like the same to me.â Sam states when you show them your work.
âYeah, and it also possesses that creepy vibe the original one does.â Jody nods in agreement.
âGood. Hopefully, itâll work just as well, too. Letâs visit Missouri and kick some archangel ass, shall we?â you propose.
You must give it to Michael â he has exceptionally good taste. Both the exterior and interior of the building he chose as temporary residence radiates elegance. You meet up with Cas and a boy in the underground parking lot. You furrow your brows.
âWhoâs the kid?â you glance between Sam and the angel, the latter moving infront of the boy as you speak.
âUhm, his name is Jack. Also, he happens to be the son of satan.â Cas replies.
Out of reflex, you touch the side of your overknee boots looking for your knife but ease off almost immediately and extend an arm towards the boy. Cas eyes you with suspicion.
âDonât worry, Castiel, Iâm not gonna attcak him.â
He seems hesitant but eventually steps aside, allowing you to shake Jackâs hand.
âIâm Y/N. Y/N Colt.â
His eyes widen.
âColt? Are you related to Samuel Colt?â your nod sends him over the edge âOh, wow! This is soo cool! Iâm Jack! You must have some awesome stories to tell! When this is over, could you tell me all of them?â
âIâd absolutely love to, Jack!â you smile at his child-like enthusiasm, doubting that a sweet kid like him could be related to the Devil himself.
âAlright, I think we should go over the plan one more time.â Sam changes the subject.
You talk everything over one last time - including the intel on the monsters Sam got from a friend named Garth - and enter the elevator that takes you to the top floor. You feel like the tension could be cut with a knife.
An empty, silent hall welcomes you as you exit.
âMichael is the only one I can sense.â Cas whispers.
âIâm not sure if thatâs a good thing.â you whisper back.
You all take feather light steps until you reach a double-winged door and Cas nods, confirming the archangelâs location. Sam kicks in the door in a blink of an eye. A well-dressed Michael is staring out the window, holding a glass of some probably expensive booze.
âWelcome!â he greets, turning to your direction. âWell, well, well⌠what do we have here? The Three Muskateers? If so, I have to admit, Y/N, you are the loveliest dâArtagnan I have ever laid my eyes upon.â
âOh my God, just cut the crap or else Iâm gonna vomit!â the words slip out before you could think them through.
As a result, Michaelâs face hardens even more and he extends an arm in the height where your neck would be, casting an invisible force that pulls you straight into his grip.
Sam yells out your name in desperation.
âOh, donât worry, Samuel. I am not going to snap her pretty little neck. Although, my fingers may leave a bruise.â Michael exclaims innocently then averts his gaze back to you.
You find it hard not to try stripping his fingers from your neck with both hands, but thereâs no other way. One hand is on his but with the other one you sign three behind your back â the catcher singal for a slider in baseball. Sam catches on, takes the spear out of Castielâs trenchcoat and throws it to you. But before you could sink the tip in Michaelâs body, he snatches the weapon and breaks it in half with one hand.
âDid you honestly believe it was going to be that easy to take me down?â he asks with utter disbelief. âThe way you underestimate me is quite offensive.â
âLet her go, Michael.â Jack speaks up.
âI donât think so, child. In fact, hereâs whatâs going to happen!â he looks right into your eyes âI am going to kill all of them â in which order, thatâs your call â and then I will release my monster army on this city with you by my side. I think this vessel is handsome enough, youâll grow used to him, darling.â
âYeah, he may be handsome⌠but I kinda have a thing for his brother, asshole!â
Before he can react, you stab him in the chest with the knife from your boots. He looks down at the shaft smiling but it soon fades into an expression of sheer panic. He lets go of you and tries to pull the weapon out.
âDid you honestly believe we didnât have a plan B? The way you underestimate us is quite offensive...â you retort.
âWhatâs happening?! I demand to know!â he bellows, confused.
âI upgraded my favorite blade a little. Now it has the magic of the spear from that other dimension, too. You like it?â
He screams out in agony while his whole body is lighting up with a blue-ish white blaze. You take a couple of steps back and bump into Sam, who envelopes you in a shielding embrace. Cas and Jack try to cover their eyes as the brightness has risen to an extent thatâs almost blinding. Michaelâs shrieking finally dies out with a huge energy explosion that busts out all the windows in the suite.
He is gone and the only thing he left behind is a very much so bleeding Dean Winchester on the floor.
Dean is slowly opening his eyes. The fluorescent neon lights, the white walls and the beeping of machines tip him off regarding his whereabouts â heâs in a hospital. He tries to rip the needle out of his arm, but Sam prevents him from doing so.
âHey, no! Stop!â
âSam? Wha- what happened? Where am I?â
âUhm, long story short, Y/N killed Michael and injured you in the process, so you are in a private clinic in Missouri.â
âPrivate clinic? You know damn well we canât afford that stuff!â
âYou may not be able to, but I can.â you appear in the door with two cups of coffee, one of which you hand to Sam while sitting down on a chair next to him.
âUhm, we appreciate the offer, really, but we canât accept it.â Dean says in protest without a beat.
âHey⌠I almost killed you, I believe this is the least I can do.â
Thereâs a stare-down between the brothers and Deanâs the one to break the connection first.
âAlright, thank you.â he mumbles eventually, then checks his bandage by looking down the inside of his hospital robe.
âUhm, question. Based on the place of the wound, how am I not dead right now?â
âWell, I know how to stab someone without killing them... Which is probably the weirdest thing Iâve ever said to anyone, so letâs pretend it never left my mouth, please.â
Both men chuckle lightly, and you feel a little heat rise to your cheeks.
âHot, feisty and funny? Sam, you better not mess this up or Iâll snatch her right out of your hands.â Dean comments jokingly and this time, itâs your turn to laugh and Samâs to blush.
âDonât worry about that, DeanâŚâ he intertwines his fingers with yours âI wonât. I kinda have a thing for herâŚâ
