The whiplash slap in the face Lawrence gets from Bellini's stoic and rehearsed 'I feel sick at the thought of becoming pope it's my nightmare but I'll reluctantly take the job if it's for the greater good, let me effortlessly rattle off my beliefs' to Bellini's hot rant about how 'Obviously every priest has chosen their pope name because everyone secretly wants it you're a liar if you deny it and Obviously you have to go to war to get it how can you be this fucking stupid and still have a high powered job, god, I could run this place perfectly if given a chance, wait this is my chance and you're ruining it for me, fuck you Thomas I hate you, I hate this, I hate myself.'

War AU x Second Love

Lmao Sam this is literally the plot to the Nandopoleon AU this exists in my head 😭😭

So Fernando is Napoleon, right? And Napoleon had two wives, right? Mark is his first love(i.e. Josephine), older than him, and who he is deeply in love with but has to divorce because Mark can't really provide anything(i.e. no political advantages, infertile, etc.) So Fernando needs to make a political marriage. And who does he marry! The young son of one of the most prominent monarchies in Europe: Lance, Archduke of Austria.

Lance is very resistant to this at first of course. All grumpy like, "Dad, why do you want me to marry the guy who just defeated us in four separate wars. He's literally beaten us since practically my birth, and now I have to marry him? Yuck." Both him and Fernando come into the marriage with bad expectations, Lance despising Fernando for all he represents and Fernando viewing Lance as just a means to an end. But Lance fits in to the kingdom very well and Fernando comes to adore him and pamper him all the time. And suddenly Lance to his father is all like, "the Emperor is great actually 🥰 I was so wrong 🥰"

Meanwhile Mark is just forced to the side, and has to watch while Fernando's love for him diminishes, and his love for Lance grows. They still talk a lot and spend time together, but Mark is constantly sniping at Fernando about his new "wife."

I think Lance would stick by Fernando's side during his exile and subsequent return. He grows to be more loyal to Fernando than to his own family and original kingdom. And even though Fernando originally just views him as a means to an end, he eventually lets Lance fight alongside when they are eventually drawn back into war. Maybe in this AU, he actually wins 😔

I love the Broken Empire series and it genuinely taught a younger me a lot about writing but sometimes the worldbuilding gives me whiplash.

Hello dd au fans here's some concepts. This is my new hyperfixation so apologies if I become obnoxious

'“Barbie” crossed the billion-dollar mark, and with each dollar earned, it only helps any future awards campaign (even if Hollywood strikes continue). As the “sublime” Ken, Ryan Gosling makes a case for delivering the single best performance of his career so far. A two-time nominee for “Half Nelson” (2006) and “La La Land” (2016), the Canadian actor could be a significant threat on the circuit. With all the love for Greta Gerwig’s summer smash, Will Ferrell may have a minor role in the film, but like Jamie Lee Curtis last year for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” you never know what the Academy could throw into the equation. He’ll also get a boost with his producer credit on Netflix’s “May December” from Todd Haynes (also offering a worthy contender in Charles Melton).

It won’t be easy with veterans from prestigious dramas sure to be in the mix.

The other half of the “Barbenheimer” craze, “Oppenheimer,” the Christopher Nolan’s historical opus, could bring Robert Downey Jr to the ceremony and his co-star Matt Damon.

Downey Jr has been nominated twice – “Chaplin” (1992) and “Tropic Thunder” (2008) – and the industry’s love for him can go a long way. With Damon, “Oppenheimer” is another charismatic turn from the Oscar winning screenwriter of “Good Will Hunting” (1997). If his leading turn in Ben Affleck’s “Air” is too difficult to overcome in best actor, he could still garner recognition like other actors who’ve been recognized after delivering multiple worthy performances (i.e., Philip Seymour Hoffman for “Charlie Wilson’s War” who also had “The Savages” and “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”). But will the Academy double dip, especially since only one actor has been recognized from a Nolan movie: Heath Ledger for “The Dark Knight” (2008).

The Academy naming Downey and Gosling as nominees will be God’s gift for Oscar ratings...

AND THE PREDICTED NOMINEES ARE:

Robert DeNiro – “Killers of the Flower Moon” (Apple Original Films/Paramount Pictures) Ryan Gosling – “Barbie” (Warner Bros.) Robert Downey Jr. – “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures)...

ALL ELIGIBLE TITLES...

Matt Damon – “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures) Robert Downey Jr. – “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures) Josh Hartnett – “Oppenheimer” (Universal Pictures) Will Ferrell – “Barbie” (Warner Bros.) Ryan Gosling – “Barbie” (Warner Bros.)...'
