Let’s hear one morе joke. (kristoff lazar & matthew ( they're doppelgangers !! ); @forafcrtnight

"i fail to see what is funny about our situation, about anything going on in this godforsaken city." first his senses were affected, now a doppleganger. matthew was starting to think there might be a powerful witch messing with him and the rest of the city. "so are you going to tell me who did this to you? who made you look like me?"

[bejcwcled]

"there is a chance she may not. that chance becomes a certainty if you never try though. there are other vampires here. some who could possibly lure her away. if i were you i would quickly try to get her on your side again." maybe that was a touch dramatic, maybe he was making lazar worry for no reason. however, if it was marcus out there with a grudge against him and plenty of other people to turn to he'd being doing his best to repair his relationship with his son. "it seems it is. hopefully it's not a choice i will come to regret." @fcrafcrtnight

"OF COURSE THAT I DO. IT'S JUST.. WELL, I FEAR THAT SHE MAY NEVER FORGIVE ME FOR CERTAIN THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE." and perhaps that was what he deserved, because he hadn't particularly been looking for her forgiveness back then and he hadn't exactly wanted it. it was just complicated. more than complicated, it was something that he didn't know what to do with. "then, your path seems to be have been set for yourself, my friend. no?" @bejcwcled

💥First Behind-the-scenes pic of Matthew in Abigail 💥

So happy the production finally shared a picture. He is much jollier than when I saw him in the cinema lol. Magnificient gnashers and a winning smile.

Matthew was spectacular, he blew my mind. We so need a prequel with his and Abigail's story!!

If ZEROBASEONE members were Disney princes

Sung Hanbin – Prince Charming (Cinderella): Sung Hanbin, with his gentleness, charisma, and leadership skills, would fit well as Prince Charming. Always courteous and protective, he makes sure to take care of those he loves, just like this prince who tirelessly searched for Cinderella.

Kim Ji Woong – Simba (The Lion King): Although not technically a “human prince,” Simba embodies many of Kim Ji Woong’s characteristics: courage, bravery, and a deep sense of responsibility toward his family and kingdom. Both face challenges and emerge as protective leaders.

Zhang Hao – Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid): Zhang Hao, with his ambitious nature and single-minded focus, is similar to Eric, who, although a prince, also displays his bravery and follows his heart. Zhang Hao also has a calm personality and natural charm that makes him stand out.

Seok Matthew – Kristoff (Frozen): Matthew, with his friendly personality and sense of humor, resembles Kristoff. He is a sincere, loyal character and is always willing to help others, maintaining a positive attitude even in the most difficult situations.

Kim Tae Rae – Prince Florian (Snow White): Tae Rae is calm, gentle and serene, qualities he shares with Prince Florian, who shows love and care for Snow White. They are both low-key but have a great presence that radiates peace and kindness.

Ricky – Aladdin: Ricky could be Aladdin, with his self-confidence and ability to excel even in difficult situations. Aladdin is charming and always seeks to improve his situation while maintaining a generous heart, something Ricky reflects with his ambition and elegance.

Kim Gyu Vin – Flynn Rider (Tangled): Gyu Vin, with his charm and sense of humor, is very similar to Flynn Rider. Flynn is charismatic, a bit rebellious, but always has a very loyal and noble side that he shows when it matters most, similar to Gyu Vin’s charming yet humble style.

Park Gun Wook – The Beast (Beauty and the Beast): Gun Wook, with his imposing appearance but gentle and protective nature, would fit as the Beast, a character who has a tough exterior but a kind heart. Both have a strong side and an incredibly tender one.

Han Yu Jin – Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty): Yu Jin, with his youthful energy and bravery, is reminiscent of Philip, who is brave and willing to fight for what he wants. Also, his young and adventurous spirit aligns well with Philip’s nature.

What do you think? Any other princes you think could be a better fit for either of them?

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) theatrical trailer

Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) is a doctor in a small California town whose patients are becoming increasingly overwrought, accusing their loved ones of being emotionless imposters. They're right! Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, taking possession of humans as they sleep and replicating them in giant seed pods. Convinced that a catastrophic pandemic is imminent, Bennell, in a terrifying race for his life, must warn the world of this deadly invasion of the pod people—before it's too late!

One of my main theories about “Frozen 3” continues to be that the film will pick up a few months after the end of “Frozen 2", starting with KristAnna’s wedding, and then jump forward in time about three years to the time the film actually will happen. And there will be signs that Elsa and Honeymaren got married after Kristoff and Anna, simple things like a photograph or a matching ornament, nothing explicit.

One of the arguments of people who don't want Elsa to have a romance is because they don't want after two films with Elsa going through lessons and arcs that aren't about romantic love, to now have an arc of her falling in love, as that would get a bit contradictory in relation to the character and the franchise.

This is one of the reasons I continue to support this theory. Honeymaren is a character who has already demonstrated that she is friends with Elsa in the film and this is reciprocal (and if you consider certain extra materials Honeymaren actually has an interest in more than just friendship with the Snow Queen) so in theory they wouldn't need to develop much if wanted to make it official as a lesbian romance for Elsa. To be honest, even if Disney has the courage to confirm Elsa as a lesbian, they will never do so explicitly, and one of the reasons theorized by the fandom is so as not to disrupt the way people identify with the character.

Yes, I wish Elsa had more focus on other sides of her life even though this is a little contradictory to the franchise for some, but this is my theory of her having a romance being more realistic. I think it's very difficult for Elsa to really have a romance arc in the film, a moment of falling in love, Disney won't allow that for whatever reasons and hence the offscreen wedding.

I admit that many times since I had this theory I have imagined Jennifer Lee being approached in an interview after the film:

INTERVIEWER: Some of us saw a certain atmosphere between Elsa and a woman from the tribe who is voiced by Rachel Matthews, Honeymaren, and we can't help but notice that they use some similar props and no one else uses them… That Does it mean anything romantic?

JENNIFER LEE: Anything romantic? Before you publish something, I'm not the one saying it, but what I can say is that every element of the film was thought out and reviewed and has a purpose.

IN: So we can interpret that-

JL: There’s no right or wrong answer.

A hypothetical dialogue slightly inspired by an interview about whether or not the film “Finding Dory” has a lesbian couple.

Yes, it's a little sad that a romance between Elsa and Honeymaren may never be shown in mainstream media (today even their friendship is relegated to quirky extra material like a cell phone), but rooting for an LGBT couple at Disney is like that.

But perhaps adapting the film into a book can fix this. The books in the franchise tend to be more courageous, there are already 2 married LGBT couples and all of them are lesbians. But in the film? I think this theory of mine would be the most logical. Or maybe the manga… Because nothing convinces me that Arina Tanemura didn't think Elsa and Honeymaren were a couple when she drew the "Frozen 2" manga.

closed stater for lazar (@fcrafcrtnight)

matthew glanced up when a shadow fell over his chair in the corner of the bar. "i should have known i'd be hearing from you. it's been too long. how's abigail doing?" he tried making polite conversation. hopefully that's all lazar was here for. he didn't particularly feel like fighting. no he wanted to drown his sorrows over his missing family in peace, maybe get an explanation for the strange dreams he'd been having of a blonde witch. "did she tell you we met? ...is that why you're here? i'm no threat. i'm not going to try to replace you. the only reason she thought i was you was getting her to safety seemed more important than explaining who i was."

Kristof Lazar GIFs Part 2

"I've gone by many names over the countless years."

Well, nice to meet you, sort of. Lazar is one scary vamp, and he enjoys being frightening. When Matthew did that first growl, my hair stood on their end and I had shivers down my spine. As for the demonic laughter, gulp.

Introductions à la Professor Clairmont (book- OK he did sniff it but still -, calling card and answering Diana's nosy questions nicely) vs. à la Lazar (scary growls and taunting laughter). There could not be two more different vampires. Matthew de Clermont may have some anger management issues but he is pretty civilised really.

This is such a testament to Matthew Goode's brilliance and versatility. Mind. Blown. 🤯

Lazar's chilling gaze. I for one am ensnared 😳

introducing my published novel: the art of betrayal

[ written by @unhingednovelist , self-published on amazon ]

There's a lot to talk about, and quite frankly, none of it is pretty.

genre // horror, mystery

setting // small-town new zealand and a second location that i cannot mention for spoiler reasons

[ a note about this: the idea of the story is that you are learning of new information as matthew, the protag, is learning of it too. you quite literally go into the novel headfirst knowing literally nothing. i can't even reveal any other names other than matthew's, because it's all spoilered. ]

features // alternative storytelling format, cosmic horror, a sprawling worldwide mystery, missing persons, many lgbtq+ characters, desperate attempts at finding the truth

main inspiration pieces //

house of leaves - mark z. danielewski (novel)

illuminae/gemina/obsidio - amie kaufman + jay kristoff (novel series)

dark (netflix series)

moodboard //

playlist // 'the art of betrayal - a playlist'

content warnings // gore/injury details, unsettling imagery, hate crime mentions, medical gaslighting (i may miss some things but this is what comes to mind at the moment, please PLEASE let me know if there is anything else i need to add!)

other important information // unfortunately the novel is quite inaccessible regarding its visual content as many chapters are of scanned handwritten journal entries and other scanned media. because i have worked on this novel exclusively on my own, i was unable to make an accessible version at time of publishing. HOWEVER i am hoping that i will be able to change this sometime in the future!

[ hi yes! i know a great majority of these kinds of posts on tumblr are for wips, but i really feel like i must give a little attention to my first big project. a little backstory from me is that i started writing this concept when i was 15, and i published it at the start of this year! ]

[ i am also very new to writing alt text descriptions so if you think i should add more to my descriptions please let me know! ]
