#maybe even give me double 5 stars

hsr 2.5 drip marketing

oooh i saw a theory somewhere that moze was a wingweaver hence the feathers like how feixiao is half borisin(?) hence the moon madness

maybe the 2.4 and 2.5 patches will subvert stereotypes? at least since the borisin and wingweavers are xianzhou enemies?

oh well i suppose we will find out soon 🤭

[marklikely]

its common on letterboxd for people to say they wish they had a sixth star for some movies well obviously they cant just change to a 6 star rating system but my genius free idea for the website is that every user should get a limited number of extra stars. like if you want you can rate a movie 6 stars but you can only do it a couple times. so its still a 6/5 rating.

if they want to make money they could either make this feature patron only or just give patrons a few more extra stars. i think this will fix the website

[tearsofcalamity]

ok read it. i am now unbelievably horny that was so good!!!! i just loove the idea of reader being barely awake, seeing aven Existing and going i need that twink destroyed Yesterday.

now bear w me cause while aven was going through the 5 stages of grief in that quest i was going through the infinite stages of horny and Thinking: i want soft sex w him really really bad he'd be my angel my pretty boy my golden little star! but the mf would be SUCH a tease! like he'd love you being gentle but after a while he'd start asking to "please, go rougher" and that he can "handle it" you'd go "no, baby, i want to love you softly" and he shuts up. and then you think he's given up but suddenly he is. all. over. you every second of everyday. he's not letting you do any work, his hand is on your thigh whenever you sit down next to him, he's whispering in your ear abt how good your dick (strap lol) makes him feel while yall are in public. just doing everything in his power to rile you up, so you will finally fuck the brains out of him. and when you finally snap and grab him by the arm and toss him on the bed all rough & furious he is Overjoyed, crazy fucking smile on his face. too bad your plans include taking him apart slowly and painfully, denying his release again and again while calling him all the sweet names under the sun before finally giving him what he's been begging for<3

LORD... LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL ... !!!!!

no listen to me. he's so pent up and eager to have you just bend him in half and fuck him to the point where he's sobbing, he's so confident he can take it just fine. not that he minds you being so gentle with him, it still feels incredible, but he wants to feel what it's like to have your gaze dark with hunger on him as you fuck him into the sheets til he can't even breathe through his sobs.

but hear me out. aventurine can NOT take it. he's soooo sure of himself, doing all that teasing. playing footsie at fancy restaurants where you could easily get caught were he to go further, standing behind you to subtly rut against your back and pant right into your ear about how good it feels, begging you to just palm him just a lil bit, he promises he won't cum yet! no one will notice, he swears!

once you get him on the bed, he's so fucking excited, he can't believe he's actually got you all to himself and he can just tell by the look in your eyes you've got a rough night planned for him. but then you're switching between rough and soft, pinning him down while you jerk him without mercy and bring him to the edge over and over and over. he tries to hold out but he's sobbing and sniveling by the end of it, apologizing for riling you up and being bad in public. he just wants to hear you praise him, have your strap in him, but you won't give him what he wants.

eventually avennie's tears win you over, but you're not going to be gentle tonight. promise him he can cum with you inside him and then just absolutely pound him into the mattress until he's seeing stars. he's choking on every moan, and once you start throwing the petnames into the mix again, he's spurting out his load pathetically onto the sheets.

call him angel, darling, sweetheart, pretty boy, lovely, and don't forget to tell him how good he's being, of course. but don't stop when he cums. he had been begging you all day to be rough with him, to fuck him dumb, right? so don't stop when he finishes, instead, double down and overstimulate him until the pillow he's clutching onto is half-soaked with his tears and drool, until you have to hold his hips upright in order to keep fucking into him and nailing his achey prostate. maybe start jerking him here too, watch him wail into the pillow and thrust his hips back for more pleasure in spite of the overwhelming sensations he's going through...

I can't tell you whether this is gonna make him get more frisky in public to get the same ass ramming next time or if he's going to accept going back to the soft lovin you laved on him before. maybe both

This is going to hurt

(bsn ending #5)

hyunjin x reader!! hyunjin x fem.reader"|!! word count: 2.2k

bsn alternative ending #5 wherein; you question hyunjin's feelings but then he answers

an: i love this. please love it also.

part 1! part 2!

The first time Hyunjin asked you for a blood sample, you didn’t hesitate to say yes. It was a strange request, but when he explained that you were unique, that he needed your sample for his research, you felt a flutter of pride. Hyunjin was always so serious about his studies, his future as a doctor looming ahead of him like a bright star. If there was something special about you that could help him, you wanted to be a part of it.

The first sentence he said to you after you agreed was, "This is going to hurt."

You, who prided yourself on being fearless, who never backed down from a challenge, simply nodded. But when he pricked the needle into your skin, you barely felt a thing. Maybe it was because Hyunjin was always gentle with you, or maybe it was because you were too focused on the way his brow furrowed in concentration. He didn’t want to hurt you—he never did—and for that, you were always grateful.

Hyunjin wasn’t just your friend; he was someone who took care of you in ways you never asked for but always appreciated. He checked on your health like a doctor would, reminding you to take your vitamins, giving you tips on how to stay healthy. It became a routine, his little reminders and your teasing responses.

"If you still won’t find a boyfriend by the time you’re old, you can always hire me as your personal doctor," he joked one day, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "But you’ll have to pay me double."

"Why would you do that? We’re friends," you replied with a laugh, shaking your head at his absurd suggestion.

"When it comes to work and money, there’s no such thing as friendship," he teased back, leaning a little closer as if to emphasize his point.

"Then we need to stop our friendship as fast as possible," you retorted playfully, nudging him with your elbow. The banter between you two was something you cherished, a light-hearted escape from the complexities of life.

But despite the teasing, despite the easy smiles and laughter, there was always a part of you that wondered how much of it was real. You had overheard a conversation between Hyunjin and Changbin one day, where Hyunjin mentioned liking you. But he had laughed afterward, and you didn’t know whether to believe him or not. How could you, when he seemed to be joking about something so serious?

That’s what hurt the most. The uncertainty, the not knowing whether his words held any truth or if they were just part of the game he seemed to be playing with your heart. It was as if he enjoyed watching you squirm, watching you try to figure out where you stood with him. And that hurt more than anything else.

At the party, you found yourself watching Hyunjin, waiting for him to react to the situation unfolding around you. You weren’t sure what you were hoping to see—a flicker of jealousy, perhaps, or a moment of vulnerability that would give you some clue as to how he really felt. But all you got was his usual nonchalant look, a smile playing on his lips as if he was enjoying every second of this or not.. you don't know what to name it.

And maybe he was. Maybe Hyunjin was only playing with your feelings, leading you on just enough to keep you interested but never giving you enough to truly know where you stood. The realization that he might be toying with you like this, even if unintentionally, made your heart ache in a way you hadn’t expected. It wasn’t supposed to hurt like this, not when it came to someone you considered a friend.

The next day, you planned to skip school entirely, burying yourself under your blankets in an attempt to shut out the world. But then your phone rang, and Hyunjin’s name flashed on the screen. For a moment, you hesitated, debating whether to answer or not. You weren’t ready to face him, not after what happened last night.

But he didn’t give up easily. A few minutes later, a text came through: I need your blood again. It was so casual, so normal, as if nothing had happened between you. As if last night’s events hadn’t changed anything.

Are you a vampire? you replied tiredly, half hoping he wouldn’t respond. But of course, he did.

Come see me, please.

There were more messages, missed calls from other friends asking if you were okay, if you had gotten home safely. Apologies for things they might have said or done. But you couldn’t bring yourself to answer any of them. Except for Hyunjin. Against your better judgment, you typed out a reply: Where?

He told you to meet him at the school clinic, and you found yourself walking there before you could talk yourself out of it. The clinic wasn’t even his duty shift, but there he was, waiting for you as if everything was perfectly normal.

When you walked in, he smiled at you like he always did, that same gentle smile that never failed to make your heart skip a beat. "What do you need my blood for this time?" you asked, trying to keep your tone light, even though your heart was pounding in your chest.

Hyunjin glanced at you, his eyes softening as he saw the tiredness in yours. "It’s for another research project," he explained, already preparing the needle and the cotton balls. But his usual playful tone was missing, replaced by something more serious, more hesitant.

As he wiped your wrist with the cold cotton, he glanced up at you, his gaze lingering longer than usual. "How are you?" he asked quietly, his voice gentle, almost hesitant. The way he asked made it clear that he wasn’t just asking about your physical state.

You forced a smile, even though your heart felt heavy. "I’m fine," you lied, watching him closely as he worked. His fingers were steady, but there was something different in the air between you two. A tension that hadn’t been there before, something unspoken yet palpable.

Hyunjin took a deep breath, his eyes meeting yours for a moment before he looked away. "You didn’t answer my calls," he said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of concern. "I was worried."

You looked down at your hands, unsure of how to respond. "I just… needed some time," you murmured, your voice barely above a whisper. "Last night… it was a lot."

Hyunjin nodded slowly, as if he understood. "Yeah," he agreed, his voice just as quiet. "It was."

There was a moment of silence, the only sound being the soft rustle of the cotton ball against your skin. You could feel your heart beating faster, your mind racing with a thousand thoughts. But before you could say anything else, Hyunjin spoke again.

"Can we talk about it?" he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. "About what happened?"

You swallowed hard, your throat suddenly dry. "I don’t know, Hyunjin," you replied, your voice trembling slightly. "I’m not sure I’m ready to talk about it yet."

Hyunjin’s hand stilled, the needle poised just above your skin. He looked up at you, his expression a mix of worry and something else—something you couldn’t quite place. "I don’t want things to be weird between us," he admitted, his voice so soft it was almost a whisper. "I just… I don’t want to lose you."

You looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity in them, the vulnerability he rarely showed. "You’re not going to lose me," you said, your voice firm despite the uncertainty gnawing at you.

There was a pause, the air between you thick with unspoken words. And then, without warning, Hyunjin leaned in and kissed you.

Your mind went blank, and you didn’t know what was happening, but you didn’t push him away. His lips were warm against yours, his touch so gentle it almost made you want to cry. This wasn’t the Hyunjin you were used to—the one who teased and joked and kept his feelings hidden behind a wall of laughter. This was different,

and it hurts more.

-

Later it was night, Hyunjin finished his work and gathered his things, ready to head to class. But before he could leave, the door to the clinic slammed open with a loud bang, and in stormed Chan, eyes blazing with fury. Hyunjin barely had time to register what was happening before Chan’s hand was on his collar, yanking him forward and slamming him against the cold metal lockers.

The force of the impact rattled the lockers, and for a moment, Hyunjin’s breath was knocked out of him. But instead of fear or regret, what flickered in his eyes was something entirely different—a dangerous glint of amusement. A twisted sense of satisfaction curled in his chest as he met Chan’s gaze, unflinching.

"I saw what you did, Hyunjin," Chan growled, his voice low and dripping with barely restrained rage. The words were like venom, seething with a bitterness that had been festering for too long.

Hyunjin’s lips curled into a smirk, his eyes gleaming with a mix of arrogance and defiance. He chuckled, a sound that was anything but lighthearted. It was the kind of laugh that dared Chan to do something about it, that mocked the very anger that had driven Chan to this point.

"Oh, that?" Hyunjin drawled, his voice laced with a dark, teasing edge. "Well, I’m glad you saw it."

Chan’s fist tightened on Hyunjin’s collar, the fabric bunching in his hand as he pulled Hyunjin closer, their faces mere inches apart. The tension between them crackled like a live wire, ready to snap at any moment.

"You think this is funny?" Chan spat, his voice trembling with anger. "Do you have any idea what you’re doing?"

Hyunjin’s smirk only deepened, his eyes never leaving Chan’s. "I think I know exactly what I’m doing," he said, his voice calm and collected. "The real question is, do you?"

Chan’s other hand balled into a fist, the muscles in his arm tensing as if he was on the brink of losing control. For a split second, it looked like he was going to punch Hyunjin, to wipe that infuriating smirk off his face. But just as the tension reached its peak, Hyunjin’s voice cut through the air again, sharp and taunting.

"Why are you angry?" Hyunjin asked, his tone dripping with mockery. "Is she even yours in the first place?"

The words were like a slap to Chan’s face, and for a moment, his fist wavered in mid-air, the rage in his eyes giving way to something more conflicted. Hyunjin’s question hung in the air, echoing in the small space of the clinic. It was a question that neither of them had wanted to face, a truth that both of them had been avoiding.

Deep down, Chan knew the answer. None of them had any claim over you.

"This is why she hates what’s happening to us," Hyunjin continued, his voice losing its playful edge, becoming more serious, more pointed. His eyes narrowed as he pushed Chan’s hand away from his collar, the smirk fading from his lips. "She didn’t want to destroy the friendship we had."

Chan’s hand fell to his side, the anger in his eyes dimming, replaced by a mixture of frustration and regret. He knew Hyunjin was right—this whole situation was a mess, a tangled web of emotions that none of them knew how to navigate. And it was tearing apart the friendship that had once meant everything to them.

"But you didn’t care, did you?" Chan asked, his voice quieter now, laced with a bitterness that cut deep.

Hyunjin tilted his head slightly, studying Chan’s expression as if he was searching for something. "Do you really think I didn’t care?" he asked, his voice softening, though the edge was still there. "Or are you just upset because I acted while you hesitated?"

Chan flinched, the words hitting closer to home than he would have liked. "That’s not the point, Hyunjin."

"Isn’t it?" Hyunjin pressed, his gaze unrelenting. "You’ve had just as many chances as I did, Chan. But you didn’t take them. Now you’re angry because I did."

Chan clenched his jaw, the frustration boiling over again. "You’re twisting things," he muttered, but there was no real conviction in his voice.

Hyunjin sighed, a rare moment of genuine emotion breaking through his facade. "Maybe I am," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But for the record, she chose me."

Those four words landed like a punch to the gut, knocking the wind out of Chan more effectively than any physical blow could have. He stared at Hyunjin, his expression a mixture of shock and disbelief.

Chan couldn’t bring himself to respond, couldn’t find the words to express the turmoil raging inside him. He just stood there, frozen in place, his hand still clenched into a fist at his side, as Hyunjin turned and walked away.

Hyunjin’s footsteps echoed in the empty hallway as he made his way down, a slow, deliberate pace that matched the rhythm of his thoughts. He couldn’t help but smile to himself, remembering the way your lips had felt against his, the way your voice had trembled when you said those words.

"I like you."

But the smile quickly faded, replaced by a deep sense of unease as he recalled the rest of what you had said: "But I won’t risk this friendship."

And that hurt. More than he wanted to admit.

While We Dream Pt.5

Kylo Ren x Fem! Reader

Star Wars Masterlist Series Masterlist

Word Count: 2k

Summary: As Kylo sleeps he finds himself mysteriously transported to your modern world, while you sleep you find yourself following alongside Kylo as he goes about his duties as “supreme leader?” who even was this guy? And why does he keep talking about ‘The Force?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The room you’ve stepped into is large and wide, with ceilings stretching far past the expanse of any of the other rooms you passed. There’s various mats strewn along the floor and a few racks with weapons fastened to them.

If you had to guess you’d say this was a training room.

In the middle of the room is a group of people in white armor all standing stock-still in a box formation as one of them with a strange orange shoulder pad talks to a man in all black.

The man in all black immediately radiates power and you figure that's where the intimidating feeling is seeping from. From what you can see, he’s wearing an all-black outfit with a long black cape and a hood. You can’t see his face from this angle but you can hear what he’s saying and it doesn’t sound good.

“Commander, if the only time your troops are properly disciplined is when I’m the one doing it then perhaps the problem lies with you.” The white armor guy with the orange shoulder pad nods, although you’re sure he’s probably trembling under his suit. You know you would be if you were in his position, the man in black's words are a clear threat.

“I understand, Supreme leader, I will double their training and punish them accordingly if you give me the chance” You can hear the slight quiver in his voice as he answers, and it makes you curious as to how one man could cause so much fear. You wonder if he’s some sort of alien or horrifically scarred monster. Or if the mask in that room belonged to him and his whole face was practically burnt off. That would garner the type of reaction the ‘Commander’ is having.

Unable to resist the need to see what he looks like, you take a tentative step closer when the man in black's head whips in your direction. You freeze, the black soulless eyes of a mask stare directly into you. 

You want to turn and run but you remember the other people couldn’t see you so you stay put, turning your head, you check to see if there’s anyone behind you but there’s not a soul in sight. Creepy. Maybe he just heard something outside the door? 

“Dismissed.” His voice is deep and absolute, it leaves no room for hesitation or questioning, and at his command every single man in white files out of the room. You unconsciously step out of the way despite knowing they would probably pass through you. The man in black never turns his gaze away from you. There was no way he could see you? Right?

Once every other person has left the room the place becomes deathly silent. You can’t feel the air but if you could you’re sure it would be suffocating. Your heart is nearly pounding out of your chest and you’re sure you’re going to wake up from this nightmare any minute now. 

“Droid.” You almost flinch, furrowing your brow in confusion as you assume he’s addressing you until a small black and gray ball in the corner springs to life and rolls over. “Detect nearby lifeforms” His hollow eyes still never leave you even when commanding the ball.

The small thing beeps a few different notes and various colors flash on its tiny head before a robotic voice exclaims;

“No other lifeforms detected, Sir” With a wave of a hand the ball is dismissed and it rolls away back to its corner and powers off. The man in front of you tilts his head.

“You again.” This time you’re certain he’s speaking to you. You don’t know how or why he can see you but more than that his words catch you off guard.  

It’s your turn to tilt your head as you whisper out “Again?” in confusion. You don’t recall ever meeting this man in real life or in any of your dreams, and you would remember a man like him.

He takes a single step forward and you follow with a single step back. The others couldn’t hurt you because they couldn’t see you, but he might be different. You were beginning to wonder if this was really a dream after all. To try and test it out, you pinch yourself and are surprised when the pain blossoms on your arm. 

Shit. Where were you? How do you wake yourself up like last night? You needed to get out of here. You stumble a few steps backwards and the man reaches out with his hand. You’re not sure why, there was no way he could reach you from where he’s standing. 

For the first time in what feels like hours, his gaze drops from you to his hands like he’s confused about why he couldn’t reach you from several feet away and you take his moment of distraction to make a run for it.

You immediately turn around, flinching as you pass through the door you entered through and trying to remember the way you came. If you could find your way back to that room maybe you could wake yourself up again. 

Much to your advantage, in this weird dream-like state your body seems to have endless stamina so you’re flying through the corridors with ease. The solace you feel is short-lived, however, as a glance behind you shows the masked man hot on your heels.

His long gait is almost equivalent to your run and you’re a little irritated at how slow he’s making you look by walking that fast. You don’t know if you’ve ever seen anyone walk with that much purpose and power. 

After what feels like a million left turns and one right you finally make it back to the door you first passed through, barely noticing the fact that the closer you got to it the more scarce people became. Wasting no time, you dash into the blindingly white room once more, ignoring the mask as you pass it and phase back into the familiar bedroom you started in.

The doors at least managed to slow your pursuer for a moment and you take advantage of his delay. Shutting your eyes tight you try to imagine your bedroom ceiling but your chest is heaving from pure adrenaline and you can hear his footsteps getting louder and overall it feels impossible to focus. 

You back away from the door as it beeps from the other side, frantically looking for someplace to hide but the chance slips away from you as the door slides open. The man's frame takes up practically the entire doorway and now that he’s only a few feet in front of you you experience the full expanse of his height. 

What were the chances that this guy wouldn’t kill you? Probably pretty low right?

He steps into the room and the door shuts behind him, leaving the two of you alone in the low fluorescents of the room. 

The low fluorescents that turn on when he enters the room because in this crazy world you were in he’s the one who’s actually real despite it all feeling otherwise. 

You stare at the blood red cracks that run along this stranger's mask. Your heart is pounding so loud you’re sure even he can hear it, and you attempt once more to force yourself awake to no avail. When you open your eyes again his head is tilted like he finds your actions to be incredibly intriguing. Or perhaps he just thought you were crazy, even you wouldn't rule out the possibility at this point. 

At least on a positive note, the incessant tugging in your chest has gone away, replaced by a small but soothing warmth instead. It only made you more confused. Your mind and body were at odds; your head was full of fear, imagining all the different ways this man could mutilate you- while your body was at ease, a content lull thrumming through your ghost-like veins.

He reaches his hand out once more, this time in more of an E.T.-like gesture and though you’re tempted to reach out and complete the gesture, your fear is stronger than your nerdiness and you take another step back accidentally phasing through the small loveseat at the foot of this bed. 

The image is just as weird for you as you’re sure it is for him, not that you can see his expression behind that intimidating mask. You don’t know what to do or how to get back home but the silence is becoming suffocating even for someone with no real lungs. 

When the man retracts his hand and makes no attempts to get any closer to you your body releases a small amount of tension. It’s as if he realized how trapped and scared you felt and was making an attempt to -at the very least- seem civil.

The small gesture gives you enough confidence to finally find your voice and though you’re not sure if he’ll hear you, you try anyway-

“Who- Who are you? Where am I?” He doesn’t move a single inch and you’re beginning to think he can’t hear you in this state but your panic and frustration begin to shine through anyway. Even if he can’t hear you, you think it might help you to voice your problems.

“Do you know why I-” You look down at the part of you that’s phasing through the loveseat and then look at your hands. To you, they look completely solid but that doesn't explain the fact that you can still walk through things like they don't exist. Even if all of this wasn’t real the fear you were feeling still was.

You look back up at the man, confused and scared as tears prick the corners of your eyes “Do you know why I'm like this?” You’re sure he hasn’t heard you this time either until a small but firm robotic “ No” slips from his mask. 

Releasing a frustrated laugh you nod as you wipe the forming tears from your eyes, the low hum of electricity being the only sound that bothers to comfort you. You don’t want this random man to see you cry so you turn away from him, pursing your lips as you stare blankly at the perfectly made bed against the wall.

“I’m guessing you don’t know how to get me home either” You state, taking his prolonged silence as an answer. Whoever this guy was he sure wasn’t one for small talk. Or any talk it seemed. 

It’s then that you remember what he said when he first saw you, ‘you again’. He’d recognized you from somewhere. He knew you. 

You turn to him abruptly, suspicion and confusion seeping into you, nothing about him seems familiar to you but the word “again” spirals in your brain. Your brows furrow and your tone turns accusatory as you begin to question him.

“You again?” It’s your turn to take a small step towards him and you’re thoroughly surprised by the way his shoulder tense. Maybe this guy wasn’t as scary as you let yourself believe. When he makes no move to explain himself you continue “When you first saw me you said ‘you again’. What did you mean by that? I’ve never seen you before in my life.” 

You glare into the dark abyss of the mask's eyes as you gather up as much confidence as you can, trying to mask the underlying fear that still hangs in the back of your mind. If you could turn your fear into anger it would make things a lot easier.

“Who even are you?” 

Stiff air and the small rise and fall of his chest are quickly becoming a familiarity to you and you sigh once more, turning away from him. You wrack your brain for another way to get him to talk when you hear a click and a hiss behind you, whipping around just in time to catch him sliding the helmet off of his head.

The sight in front of you instantly replaces every other emotion with a rush of cold shock, because despite what you thought before you do recognize this man. Although he’s not quite as blurry as he was before, you know for certain that this is the man who saved you in the rain.

You don't get the chance to acknowledge this, however, as everything around you goes black and your body begins to wake up in the real world.

Pt.6

A/n: Sorry for no upload last week I was out of town!~Starry

-----Taglist------

@cheeseburgercasserole @isy1994namjoon

[absolutebl]

Because your opinion means a lot: Any chance you feel like sharing 5 upcoming BLs you're most excited about and why? And maybe as a bonus, something you think many BL watchers will love but that you will hate?

Ooooo, how exciting what a fun one. You sure you want this from me? I have very odd taste.

The 5 Upcoming BLs I'm Most Excited About

(this forced me to put together the 2024 Announced BLs list which is coming soon)

1 Spare Me Your Mercy

Increased rates of deaths in terminal patients has a police captain investigating the palliative care doctor with whom he's fallen in love. Their relationship deepens but the mystery persists, driven by mistrust.

Why? It's adapted from the novel Euthanasia by Sammon (Triage, Manner of Death) but more important, it stars some old guard BL actors: Tor Thanapob from Hormones as the doctor and (fuck me YES) Jaylerr from Great Men Academy and goddamn Grean Fictions as the captain!

2 Wandee Godday

GMMTV and AllThis Entertainment producing a very pulp offering with new pair, GreatInn doing high heat, boxer meets surgeon. It features a one night stand, fake relationship, and all the cheesiest of tropes. Also features Drake, Podd, and Thor+ pretty boy (be still my heart).

Why? This is totally my kind of BL even if it isn't GMMTV's style of BL, and it's GREAT, so I'm in.

3 The Next Prince (ZeeNew)

Domundi brings us more ZeeNew in a fantasy/historical set in a palace where Zee plays a knight and Nu a prince - YES PLEASE.

Why? I did not expect this pair to stick so I really hope this happens. Give us the Little Pink Riding Milk BL we deserve!

4 Lover Merman

Fantasy BL about a man who falls in love with a merman.

Why? I don't think it will be good but I LOVE merfolk.

5 Me and Who

Domundi for WeTV brings this adaptation of Wickedwish’s novel of the same name. It depicts a young man who dies and is reborn into the body of a billionaire heir. The heir happens to be engaged to a handsome man.

Why? I flipping LOVE this trope but I never expected to see it drive a BL.

10 I am cautious of but VERY intrigued

JAPAN'S Although I Love You and You AKA Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka

From YTV releasing 1/11 about Soga, who, after a divorce and relocation to Osaka, seeks solace in dining at 26-year-old Sakae's restaurant. Unbeknownst to Soga, Sakae sees him as more than just a regular customer.

TAIWAN's Love For Love's Sake

Based on the Manhwa Love Supremacy Zone by Hwacha, this will star actors Lee Tae Vin, Cha Jun Wan, Oh Min Su and Cha Woon Ki. The plot of the drama is based on Tae Myung Ha, a young man who is dropped into a game based off of a novel that he knows. His mission is to make another player, Cha Yeo Woon happy. Cha Yeo Woon is Myung-Has favourite character in the novel. But then the game starts going completely different from the novel.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn

Star Hunter started filming this 12/23 about an actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer, Call It What You Want sort of thing.

My Stand-In AKA My Stand In

Chinese IP ALERT! Adapted from the novel Professional Body Double (职业替身) by Shui Qiang Cheng (水千丞) stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please).

OMG Vampire AKA OMG! Vampire (LeeFrank)

Frank and Lee Long Shi are back only vampires now. So many vampires.

The Rebound (MeenPing)

VIU Basketball based romance staring Meen (a national basketball player, so yay for that).

We Are (PondPhuwin)

GMMTV's university friendship Bl featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawin - basically ALL in the good kind of messy friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is gay. I'm IN! Trailer here.

Love Upon a Time (NetJames)

Domundi announced for 6/7/2023 then delayed to 2024. NetJames in a historical BL! Also feat Tonnam (Dr Sing from Triage).

Jack & Joker (YinWar)

DeHup brings us be gay, do crimes. Yin, War, Mark and a few other familiar faces doing Leverage but gayer. Yes, thank you, I will have that.

My Love Mix-Up Thai Remake (GemniForth)

GMMTV. Hum, well I do love this pair and I did like the original and maybe this time these characters will actually kiss? I'm actually fine with this pick-up. I kind of enjoy seeing different countries remake the same IP. Especially if it's IP I'm mostly unfazed by.

[kneelingshadowsalome]

I am so in to König and the confident solder lady (btw we need a tag name or a callsign for her, maybe a poll?) but anyway I go insane for that dynamic!❤️‍🔥 I am on FIRE after I read your stories and it's NEVER enough 😭🤣

so I imagined this scenario about them

They are out on a mission to capture someone. When König finds the target the lady solder, still under the effect of how brutal and efficient König is with his hands disposing of the enemies, says to him:

L - Bag n tag me...I mean HIM

K - *looks at lady solder while filthy thoughts run through his mind*

now both of their minds are in the gutter...as well as mine, but mine never left😈

Confident soldier lady is so unhinged even König is at a loss sometimes 🤨 And our soldier babe? She gets off on those baffled, bewildered looks a little too much (shame on her).

One day when they're cuddling, sweaty and spent after another heated session that was supposed to put her in her place – how curious that it does actually work, even if only for like 5 minutes – she crosses another line.

"König… Could you kidnap me sometime? You know, in a roleplay fashion," she asks while drawing circles on that godly, muscled, sweaty chest.

The said godly muscled sweaty chest almost stops breathing.

"Kidnap you?" König repeats, appalled and with pure loathing in his voice. "I hate kidnappers... And I hate slavery."

She nearly rises to give him a pointed remark about how funny it is that he hates that shit when at the same time, doesn't have a problem with treating her like a possession. But calling a man like König out on his double standards would be futile, so she settles for seething with quiet resentment while curled up there in his arms.

Right.

Yeah… Of course this guy wouldn't know what roleplay even means.

..........

Next week she's walking back to the bus after visiting a sibling, a bit anxious about getting back to base and seeing König again. She still has over a week's worth of leave left, but she wants to go back to spend it with him.

It's sick... Everything about this relationship is sick, twisted, and crazy. She’s always running back to him like a cat who hears her owner has opened another canned tuna in oil. She's so in her thoughts about how to torture that jerk in return that she doesn't quite notice a white van pulling over right next to her.

He barely fits inside the cargo space with her, almost folds her in half while ducking and stepping inside. The car groans under the weight, slants slightly to the side, and she starts to panic and squirm from realizing this is actually happening.

Next thing she knows, she's being picked up from behind like she weighs nothing. A large palm lands over her mouth the minute she’s about to scream – she makes a tiny little noise through her nose but the palm moves to cover that as well.

The street is silent, it's a lazy afternoon in the suburbs, everyone is at work and children are at school, and no one can hear or see how some psycho hauls her inside that van.

"Shh. Stop fighting," a familiar voice bleeds into her ears, muffled and warm.

It can't be…

But then again, didn't she just make a wish upon a psycho star?

He notices she has stopped fighting, just like he ordered her to. He feels how she surrenders to a far stronger beast – just like she's supposed to. And then he purrs.

"Das ist eher so… Be good now. Be a good girl."

Yep...

No one speaks German like that. No one calls her a gut girl like that.

The palm leaves her mouth, and she's being lowered gently on the floor of the van. She turns to look at her captor with both hope and dread pounding inside her chest.

"König…?"

It's pointless to utter that name when the man before her is exactly his size and build, moves like him, has those same cold, blue eyes that gain a warmer tone every time they land on her. The only thing that makes her take a double check is that he's not wearing a hood this time but a black balaclava. Oddly enough, it makes him look a bit more human. She can see the shape of his jaw, the perch of his nose, usually disguised by the baggy sniper hood he's so fond of...

But what the new mask also does is that it makes him look even more menacing: he looks like some of those terrorists they've always fought against. He looks like the biggest bank robber ever put to this earth, he looks like he's about to shoot dozens of innocent citizens and then kidnap someone to take as his prize and drag them into his rape lair.

The notion should not make her squeal like she's looking forward to being that person…

"You're mine now," he looks down at her, lying at his feet like a stray cat about to be taken back home, then turns to walk out of the van. By the time he slams the doors shut, she's smiling – she might be in need of some serious help, but she can't deny König is at his best when he comes out to play.

….....

His house is surprisingly neat, albeit it is no doubt also a man cave for a soldier who rarely spends time at home.

She’s not carried into a cold lair or a secret dungeon underneath the house. No, she gets to stay in his bedroom, on a soft, king-sized bed. He "forces" her cook for him, and praises her meals like they’re some sort of gourmet dishes. It lights a little flame inside her chest, a fire that doesn’t burn but only feels warm. She starts to tidy his place on her own accord.

It's cute, and it's fun, their little kidnap game.

It’s also kind of entertaining to play house with König like this, especially when her "kidnapper" comes to her every night and takes her gently but intensely, with a passion that renders her silent.

It starts to resemble the most domestic little scene until after one week, she snaps out of it.

She doesn't fight back at all.

He calls her his, asks if she has everything she needs as they lay together on his ridiculously large and nice bed. She doesn’t miss her hard army bunk one bit.

She snaps out of it because he brings her a dress.

She fucking hates dresses.

Well, perhaps she doesn’t hate them... but she hates the particular dress he bought her. It's white and has flowers on it – yuck – is she supposed to cook him a nice, healthy meal while wearing that? Let him lift the hem and take her against a counter whenever he wants? Does he think she’s just going to open her legs for him every night after serving him like a docile, doting little wife?

That night, she fights like a wildcat when he comes to her. She enjoys the way he's panting by the time she finally surrenders to him. He sounds like a dog in heat, he's grunting like a man who has one job too many, trying to restrain his little alley cat so that he can push that heavenly cock inside her. She's dripping wet by the time he gets there, looking up at her captor with lightning and thunder in her eyes.

"What's gone into you now, meine Wildkatze?"

"That stupid dress, that's what's gone into me," she hisses as he tries to be gentle again – she suddenly hates it that he's gentle.

"You'd look good in it," he tries, and she almost spits on his face. Her heart hurts for some unfathomable reason, her lower lip juts out with a furious pout.

"Well you'd look good in rags…!"

And just when she thinks he couldn't make it worse… he makes it worse.

He just laughs. Gently, and heartily.

"Is that the best you can do, little one?"

"You'd make such a good wife..."

The only thing she can do is gasp for air as he makes love to her, as those eyes hold her captive gently, so gently – has he become so gentle just because she cooked him for a week and cleaned up his stupid man cave?

Did he kidnap her just because he realized that would be the perfect way to trick her and transform her into a good little housewife?

Good god...

"If you don't set me free tomorrow, I swear I'll… I'll run away!"

She’s the one panting now, and her threat has little effect save for the hauntingly familiar flash of dare that makes those blue eyes look brighter for a second.

"That's what cats do sooner or later," her King tilts his head – the cock inside her gives a demanding pulse, and she has to fight the urge to moan.

"…but they always return home."

Touchdown - Chapter 6.

Pairing Travis Kelce x Reader

Words 1271

Warnings It's hotting up, but nothing crazy!

CHAPTER 5.

CHAPTER 6.

The rest of the game was a bit of a blur. During half time you were tasked, with Hannah, to get some fan reaction videos to ultimately be included in a montage of the game. Travis was far from your mind; you had a job to do and you were determined on making sure you impressed the station. As the game drew closer to the final quarter, the Chiefs were up by 13 points and you were excited to get back down to the field to speak to people. After all, this was the reason you wanted to be a journalist. 

Hannah turned to you, “Do you want to do an interview? Maybe you can clinch one with Kelce?”   

You twisted your mouth, “Oh, I don’t know. You’re much better at it than I am.”   

“Shut up, you’ll nail it!” She patted you on the back, “Besides, Travis is comfortable with you, you know, he’s done an interview with you before.”   

You placed a firm hand on Hannah's shoulder as realisation hit you, “Hang on, he doesn’t actually know it’s me.”   

“What do you mean?”   

Your eyes glanced to one side whilst you thought, “Well, he knows my name, like, he knows I work for the station. But he doesn’t know it’s me that’s here now.” You giggled to yourself.   

Hannah reciprocated your laughter, “Oh, this is excellent! You have to interview him!”   

You pressed your lips together, “This is going to be fun!”   

“Ladies?” Richard called from the far side of the box, “Time to go, go and get some words from the teams.”   

“Sure!” Hannah responded, running a hand through her hair. She turned to you with a smile, “Let’s go!” 

As you paced through the stadium, you could feel your heart beating in your ears. You weren’t sure whether it was nerves or excitement, or both.    

The game had ended with a field goal by the Seahawks closing the gap by 3 points, but securing the win for the Chiefs. The fans were elated, red flags were waving across the stadium and music was ringing in your ears. The grass was soon full of people; photographers taking pictures, news stations grasping at interviews and sound bites for radio. You felt more confident and comfortable with the atmosphere this time though, locking eye contact with various players and coaches, giving them a big smile and a short congratulatory message.    

You gave Hannah your phone and leaned towards her, “Let’s find Travis.”   

“I like the confidence!” She exclaimed.   

You made sure your press pass was facing the right way and quickly wiped underneath your eyes to make sure no make-up had smeared underneath your bottom lashes. You licked your lips and adjusted your skirt, making sure you looked presentable. You could see Travis through a crowd of people; he was excitably mid-way through an interview when he caught your gaze and smiled. He looked down towards the floor and shuffled his feet against the grass. He finished his conversation quickly and shook the hand of the interviewer. Before you knew it, he was making his way to you, with his eyes firmly locked on yours. You could faintly hear Hannah squealing behind you.   

“What’s up? You enjoy the show?” He looked even bigger than earlier that day. His shoulder pads doubled the size of his already broad shoulders and his arms were bulging out at the sides with thick muscle.   

As you opened your mouth to speak, Hannah quickly jumped in, “Hey, Travis! Could we get a quick interview with you?”   

“Sure, no problem.” He flashed you a slightly confused smile and stood closer to you, his firm arm pressing into you. 

Hannah held the phone up and nodded to signal that she was rolling.   

You took a deep breath and looked down the lens, “Hi guys, Y/N here with The NFL Show for ITV and I’m joined here by Chiefs star tight-end Travis Kelce. Just a few quick words, if you can, to describe the feeling here at Wembley?”   

You looked up at Travis to see his mouth slightly open with a smirk and his eyes squinted with realisation. He brought up his right hand to stroke his beard before laughing quietly, a gentle pinkish hue spreading to his cheeks, “Oh man, it’s been awesome here in London, as it always is.” He spoke loudly and confidently, “The atmosphere is incredible and the people are great. We’re just happy we could bring the energy and bring home a win. Victory Monday, baby!” He held his hand up and brought it around your shoulder, leaning towards the camera, “And make sure y’all watch The NFL Show!” He gave a loud cheer, squeezing you closer. 

You giggled and looked back to the camera, “Thank you Travis Kelce, have fun celebrating your win!”   

Travis gave another cheer as Hannah moved the iPhone down, “Great, thank you! That was great, Travis!”   

“You’re welcome.” He smiled towards Hannah before immediately turning back to you, “You coming to celebrate with us?” His deep American accent made you feel warm.  

Hannah stepped back slowly with wide eyes to give you some time. Travis licked his lips and took some slow deep breaths. He was still buzzed with the win and the game in general.  

You were taken aback slightly. “Well, that’s a lovely offer but I don’t know what my schedule is looking like for the rest of the day, you know, with work and everything- “  

“Oh, come on, girl! Don’t make me beg!” He moved in closer, “You owe me!”  

“I owe you?” You leaned back slightly which only made him pull you in.  

“This game you’re playing! That interview over the phone, not replying to my email, then coming here and not telling me it was you.”  

“I’m a professional, Mr Kelce. I didn’t think it was a big deal.” You shrugged your shoulders and looked away.  

Travis gave a deep laugh and tilted his head to try to catch your gaze, “I thought I told you not to call me that.”  

You looked back up at him.  

He held his hands up and stepped back, “Alright, alright. I already got one win today, and I’m a man who can accept defeat. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day, ma’am.” He winked and disappeared back into the crowd.  

The moment he was out of eyesight, you almost felt like your legs were going to collapse. You looked up to see Hannah running towards you with her mouth open and her arms out stretched.  

“Oh my God, you were like…so close. I swear he was going to kiss you, or something! What did he say? What did you say? What’s going on?”  

“Which question would you like answering first?”  

Hannah thought for a second, “What did he say?”   

“Um, he asked if I wanted to come and celebrate with him.”  

Hannah almost dropped to the floor, you looked around to make sure no one was looking, but they were too busy to notice.  

“Will you calm down, please?”   

“Me calm down? Why won’t you calm…up?” She pulled a face at the phrase as she said it.  

“Because I don’t even think I’m going.”  

Hannah hit you in the arm, “Are you joking? What is wrong with you?”  

You gently rubbed the area she had just hit, mocking pain, “I’m here for work. We are here for work.” You said slowly.  

“Were…we were.” Hannah smiled, “Richard just caught me and said we are now officially off the clock until Tuesday. So…?”  

You rolled your eyes, “Well, this has all worked out perfectly, hasn’t it?”

All About Glen

I'm in the mood for something... easy.

Or, rather, I thought this would be easy. Then I went deep diving and have yet to surface. This post will likely edited a few more times in the next few days (maybe? I'll let you know either way), so keep an eye out!

So... who is Glen Powell? Besides a possible new rising star in Hollywood. (Certainly his upcoming projects say he's in high demand!)

Come with me, and I shall tell you!

Also, I had so much fun diving into his background! Learned more about this guy than I realized!

(And I also turned my daughter into a Glen Powell fan! I'll explain why/how in a bit!)

Raised in Austin, Texas, born on October 21, 1988, to Glen Powell Sr and Cyndy Powell, he's the middle child of three. And the only boy. He has an older sister named Lauren and a younger sister, Leslie. Named after his father, the Original Glen (no, seriously, that's his Instagram!), Glen was a child actor. He started performing with the Austin Musical Theater program when he was in the fifth grade, learning to tap dance--according to Leslie, there is video evidence--and appearing in The Music Man and 42nd Street.

Oh, he explored all sorts of extracurriculars' growing up. Football, lacrosse, all sorts. However, his passion and fascination were movies.

The actor recalled that he would be “picking dandelions” in the outfield while playing baseball as a kid, and his parents, Cyndy and Glen Sr., were ready to let him try something else.

“I played violin for a bit, and all of a sudden, I was like, ‘No, not into this anymore.’ They let me give it up,” he continued, noting they were supportive until Powell found something he “really loved.” That’s where his acting career comes in.

At the precious age of 5, his father took him to see Steven Spielberg's megahit, Jurassic Park, in the summer of 1993. Glen ended up watching the movie multiple times in theaters, and again on home video, trying to figure out the secrets of the film's special effects.

In an interview with Austin Monthly, Glen said he began making his own science fiction films growing up. He'd use a home video camera, computer, recruited his friends to be actors, and searched for props in his family's basement. Seeing this, his parents encouraged him to enroll in acting classes.

His second grade project was on Steven Spielberg's use of practical effects in Jurassic Park. In 2003, when he was 14, he got his first movie role as "long-fingered boy" in Spy Kids 3: Game Over. His location in Austin helped him land the role. Director Robert Rodriguez discovered Powell, then 14, while looking for "local hires" to accompany the primarily Los Angeles-based cast.

"You're just trying to find someone locally that won't get nervous, that'll give a performance that kind of measures up to the other actors. He walks in with a stature and confidence and just nails it," Rodriguez told IndieWire. "So now, it's no surprise to see [he made it as an actor], but he already had that quality at 14 and clarity of vision that that's what he was supposed to be."

Two years later, he played a paperboy in The Wendell Baker Story, a part that required him to get hit by a car, which he practiced with his mother in a church parking lot.

In 2006, everything changed. His mother, Cyndy, drove him five hours to Shreveport, La., to audition for Denzel Washington, who was directing and starring in The Great Debaters. Powell got the part--and a powerful agent: Ed Limato, who represented Washington.

Powell also starred in Fast Food Nation (2006), and The Hottest State (2006) over the next few years.

Still in high school at Westwood, Powell even considered deprioritizing his acting career until receiving a pep talk from Denzel Washington during the filming of The Great Debaters. In the movie, Powell played Harvard University student Preston Whittington and impressed the two-time Oscar winner. "Denzel Washington really pushed me out of the nest a bit and said, 'You should double-down on yourself. You should give [acting] a shot'," Powell said.

A year later, Limato called Powell in his dorm room at the University of Texas at Austin.

"Ed said, 'If you're going to spin the wheel on an acting career, now is the time to do it'," Powell said.

Taking a chance, Powell dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles in 2008. “Ed always told me, over and over, that the definition of a movie star is somebody who guys want to grab a beer with — fun, not threatening — and who women want to date and bring home to meet their parents,” Powell said.

Limato had a history of helping turn actors into big stars--among his clients? Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, and Kevin Costner. Limato also gave Powell a crucial career tip: Don’t take on a role in a big franchise too soon, however tempting the paycheck; stars are built in smaller movies of varied genres.

Unfortunately for Powell, Limato died two years later, leaving him without an advocate.

It was a rough and learning time for Glen. He supported himself through coaching community sports and small acting jobs (a Dockers commercial, an episode of The Lying Game, a cable series).

Not long after Powell moved to Los Angeles, Limato introduced him to Lynda Obst, a fellow Texan and a producer of hits like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Contact, and Sleepless in Seattle. She hired Powell as an intern, a job that involved reading scripts and giving feedback.

It helped him learn how Hollywood ran.

Obst recalled, "He was adorable--charm off the charts. But that is not what impressed me, and it's not why he's succeeding." She went on: "Actors can turn on charm, but they can't turn on intelligence. Glen is smart and learned about developing scripts and the structure in movies. It made him independent and wily."

He eventually got dropped by the William Morris Endeavor talent agency. He began to question whether superstardom was even achievable anymore. He took to writing scripts and sold several to help keep himself afloat during his shaky start.

Glen took Washington's advice and gradually began appearing in more prominent titles, including the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, in 2012 as an unnamed Gotham Stock Exchange Trader. He also appeared in the ensemble movie, The Expendables 3, in 2014, appearing alongside action stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In 2016, he played astronaut John Glenn in Hidden Figures. Glen was cited as saying that upon viewing a rough cut of the film with unfinished special effects, he was critical of his performance. "I just remember being like 'I ruined this beautiful movie, the legacy of these amazing women'," he explained in an interview with Variety.

Fortunately, critics and the audience disagreed--the movie made more than $230 million at the box office and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.

He took a detour into comedy for his next roles, including the teen movie Everybody Wants Some!! (2016), and the Netflix rom-com Set It Up (2018).

In between all that, he went onto a recurring role on Scream Queens (Ryan Murphy's show on Fox), and appear in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society. He's even done voice roles, such as the Netflix cartoon, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, and an episode of Rick and Morty.

How he got the huge leap to everyone's attention was something he nearly turned down. He lost out on blockbuster roles including Captain America, Han Solo in Solo, in addition to pieces in films ranging from Friday Night LIghts to Cowboys & Aliens and The Longest Ride.

His break was something he nearly missed out on.

When Miles Teller beat him out of the part of Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick, and Tom Cruise and director Joe Kosinski offered him the role of Hangman instead.

The problem?

"If I were editing this movie, I would cut him out immediately," Powell said to British GQ. The original version of the character was a lousy pilot who made it to Top Gun through nepotism, a storyline Powell thought did the film a disservice.

Luck was with him. Cruise and Kosinski decided to hear him out and ended up convinced, rewriting the character based on Powell's notes.

“What we were talking about is, how can Hangman service the story and give the flavour of the original Top Gun that you need?” Powell said.

“I said my piece to Tom about what I do and what I do well, and he listened. Tom’s a listener. He listens to the crew members, he listens to his collaborators, and he hears people.”

And good thing he did — Top Gun: Maverick went on to become a box office phenomenon, and Powell’s career got the kickstart he had waited so long for.

2022 was his year. He appeared in the war drama Devotion, the Netflix animated comedy Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, and Top Gun: Maverick. The latter, the sequel to the 1986 vehicle--became the biggest movie of the year, grossing nearly $1.5 billion at the global box office.

Powell underwent extensive training for the film, including underwater escape simulations and flights in F-18 aircraft to prepare for the G-forces he would experience on camera. Cruise even paid for the actor to complete flight school as a Christmas present, allowing Powell to earn his pilot's license.

We all know what happened after this. His role with Sydney Sweeney on Anyone But You brought him even more attention. His future projects will keep him busy for at least a couple of years. (He did tease he has a start date for Top Gun 3, but has refused to say more than that.)

He's been romantically linked to Nina Dobrev in 2017, Australian TV host Renee Bargh from 2018 to 2019. He began dating model Gigi Paris, starting in 2020. We know in April of 2023, they broke up for good.

Glen Powell Sr, his father, was an executive coach. His mother? A stay at home mom. Leslie is working on her career as a singer, and was fortunate enough to have had a song be used for the Olympics!

Both parents have trolled the hell out of Glen during the premiere of Hit Man. In a way, his family is what keeps Glen grounded.

Amusingly, Us Weekly described his parents as the first ever nepo parents.

“The greatest gift that my parents gave me is never making me sit in things I didn’t want to sit in and letting me chase the passions I wanted to chase, no matter what,” Powell, 35, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting his new movie Twisters. “I am really grateful for my parents for not trying to deter me from a job that has such a low success rate.”

As his fame continued to rise, his parents have made various cameos in his movies over the years.

His Instagram is full of photos of behind the scenes, with family, and of course, Brisket.

There was a rumor that Glen was opening a restaurant in Austin. This has been researched and debunked. I did go into detail about his future projects here.

--

So how did I convert my daughter into a fan?

Because I was talking to her about the gossip regarding him and Sydney Sweeney. I showed her the photos, then I showed her how he was with his other female costars.

With Adria Arjona from Hit Man.

With Daisy Edgar-Jones from Twisters.

And her first thought: "He makes them comfortable. He's safe. That's why they're so relaxed."

In that instant, she became a fan. That's all it took.

So yeah. Got fans here.

We're looking forward to more about this green-eyed Texan!

BONUS: Glen also is rather hilarious on Twitter! Check this out!

Hilariously, he decided to run with it!

We love a star who can make a joke like this!

5. Do you respond to comments?

I used to respond to every comment fairly quickly but recently I just haven't had the time :(( I appreciate every single comment though, they bring me such joy 🥹

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

That would be cardboard box - the first (sort of) hurt no comfort I've written >:D

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably There Are Softer Oak Trees :)))

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do!!!! Or...I'm giving it a shot at least. Not for DC, but for Malevolent. Might post something real soon :3

10. Do you write crossovers?

Nope!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I didn't even know this was a thing before today. That being said, I don't think so??

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I would love to collab sometime :3

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I cannot pick one because I don't really have A favorite. But Stucky (Marvel), DinLuke (Star Wars), Merthur (Merlin), SuperBat (DC), TimKon (DC) and Science Girlfriends (Orphan Black) are all ships I enjoy.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

Dying Is Easy, Living Is Harder. I have many ideas for it but unfortunately, I'm not obsessed enough about the characters to fulfill them lmao. Also An Unexpected Visit bc similar to the previous one I have a lot of ideas, but I just don't think I am talented enough to actually write those ideas.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've rewritten this answer 10 times, but no version felt right. At one point, I decided I was just gonna skip it. BUT NO. I'm gonna stop worrying about other peepz opinions and just say what I actually believe. And here it is.

I know how to make my writing more immersive with various details like sounds, smells, sensations etc. (and I LOVE doing this. The only issue is I sometimes do it either too much or too little ahdjkhsd)

I am VERY nitpicky. This can seem more like a flaw (and it is), but it has also helped me grow and understand what I like and dislike about my writing. It also means I spend a lot of time editing which makes posting SO much more satisfying (tho sometimes I gotta get those shorter fics out there for the instant serotonin boost lol)

I'm not a huge fan of characters who say/do things that don't make sense considering the genre/plot. Spending more time on this is challenging since I both dislike and SUCK at writing dialogue (why is English so HARD??), but it is also a lot of fun bc I think I am getting better at it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Well, that part about being nitpicky is obviously a lie bc I didn't realize question 17 was gone ahdjshdkj. But I was the one who noticed it first among my friends so...maybe? Nope lol

English grammar. I have to double check every time I write a message to online friends to make sure what I've written is actually a sentence that makes sense.The thing is - I think I'm pretty good, but I actually suck. One time, I wrote mold wine instead of mulled wine in a fic. Never living that down. This is I think why it takes me so long to edit lmao.

Being too harsh on myself and not allowing myself to feel proud about my accomplishments/comparing my writing to other people. Yes, compared to other fantastic writers I suck, and it will always be like that. It's something I'm still struggling to accept, but I'm getting there!

Writing quickly. Like shutting off my brain and just writing doesn't work for me. I have to be there and edit every single sentence that I don't like, and I think this is why it takes so long for me to finish the first draft. Def gotta work on this!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Hmm. Instinctively, I think it makes more sense to write something like, "Person A said something in a language I didn't understand" than to write in that language. It's more fun that way. And if both the pov character and I don't understand what Person A saying it makes me sympathize with the pov character more.

That being said, if I ever see someone writing in Swedish in a fic, I will be immensely happy (and horrified)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Rise of the Guardians on ffn. The fic is still there and is still hot garbage, but I did have a lot of fun writing it.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

I know what my LEAST favorite one is hjkahdsjk. Nah but for real, I love all my fics for very specific reasons. Like I have a sort of emotional connection with all of them depending on where I was in life, how I was feeling emotionally at the time, etc.

My top 3 would probably be Long Way Down (To The Bottom Of The River) bc it was the first fic I put a lot of thought and effort into, There Are Softer Oak Trees bc it makes me soft and fuzzy when I think about it, and cardboard box bc the comments made me fkn cackle.

It feels impossible to tag people who haven't been tagged yet but imma go with @miles2g0, @lurkinglurkerwholurks, @they-reap-what-we-sow, @liverobinreaction, and @bonesbuckleup. No pressure ofc!

Love Confessions

 The sun makes you use your hand to protect your eyes as you step out of Liam's car. Tanya is especially happy today, excited to get a tan. She never thought Hawkins would have weather like this, and honestly, neither did you.

 “I hope this heat wave never leaves,” Liam says, smiling as the three of you enter the pool. “You know what? We should visit the lakes this weekend.”

 “Count me in.” You agree.

 “Double date. Me and Tany, you and Billy. What do you think?”

 Blushing, you roll your eyes. “Maybe. Guess you'll only know when we get there.”

 “Over there,” Tanya says and you follow her to an empty table.

 “We should've come sooner,” Liam complains and both you and Tanya roll your eyes. “What? Next time I'll come alone and you'll have to come by yourselves, ladies.”

 “Oh my God, Liam. What would we do without you to drive us around.” Her sarcastic tone makes you laugh.

 “You're so funny, Tany.” Liam snaps before looking around. “Is there someone famous visiting Hawkins? Because half the women here are looking over there.” He gestures at the other side of the pool.

 “Show time, ladies.” You hear a woman saying in a low voice somewhere to your right.

 Chuckling, you pinch your eyebrows together. But the confusion soon vanishes when you see exactly what they're talking about. Or better saying, who.

 Billy comes out of the locker looking like a movie star. All eyes are on him, and so are yours. It feels like he's walking in slow motion, or maybe it's just your brain that's halfway through a mental breakdown. You've seen him shirtless before, but this is different, you're not sure how.

 “(Y/N)? Are you in there?” Tanya snaps her fingers right on your face, and you look away from Billy, clearing your throat.

 “I'm here.” Taking a look around, at all the girls drooling over Billy, you feel your stomach burning with anger. Chewing on the inside of your cheek, do your best not to think about what they're thinking. “I'm not sure coming to this stupid pool was a good idea.” It comes out suddenly, in a bitter tone. “The lakes are way better.”

 “Uhh. Someone's jealous.” Liam chants and you turn at him, arms crossed. “If you're going to kill me, do it before next month's exam, please.”

 “Shut up, Liam.” You tell him, looking for anything in your bag that can distract you from the whole thing.

 “Hey, Princess.” Both the voice and the pet name make you raise your head, finding the center of all attention standing right before you. “You shouldn't have come,” Billy says as he walks around the table, coming closer to you. “How am I supposed to look over the pool with you here? You'll distract me.”

 “If it makes you feel better, you're distracting almost everyone here.” Tilting your head at the pool, you cross your arms. “Even the married women are thirsting over you.”

 “Jealous much?” He says, bending over to whisper in your ear.

 Biting your lip, you push him away, a hand on his chest. “Not in public.”

 “As you wish.” He smirks, nodding at your friends. “Need help applying sunscreen?”

 “I applied it at home.” With a smirk, you shrug your shoulders. “Now, go lifeguard. Go watch the pool.” You push him away, but Billy holds your arm, giggling.

 “Won't you let me go?”

 “Never.”

 You suddenly feel your friends' eyes on you, and when you give them a look, they're both staring. Clearing your throat, you turn to face Billy again. “Really, you should go. I don't want you to lose your job.”

 “Fine. But when the pool closes, don't go. Wait for me, alright?”

 “What for?”

 “Just don't go.” Pulling you closer, he places a kiss on your cheek.

 Blushing like a tomato, you bite your lip and nod, watching as he walks away to his post.

 “Look, I don't know about you ladies, but I'm going to swim a little.” Liam kisses Tanya and gives you a significant look before gesturing at Billy.

 Rolling your eyes, you sigh. “Let's join the girls playing volleyball, Tany.”

 “Let's go.”

 Before following her, you take the dress off, revealing the two-piece swimsuit, purple, pink, and black. As you walk along the pool, you shoot Billy a glance. He was already staring, so you give him a smirk and a wink.

 The rest of the day goes by slowly, with you and your friends enjoying an entire afternoon of not talking about college. But soon enough the sun is setting, and people start to leave. Tanya and Liam hang around until there's barely anyone here, and when they leave, you move your stuff to the table next to Billy's chair. Taking off his sunglasses, the man looks down at you.

 “You look absolutely beautiful, you know that right?” He says before jumping to the ground. “Been dying to tell you that.”

 “You're breathtaking yourself. When you came out of the locker all the women here were staring.”

 “You were jealous.” Billy pulls you closer, a hand around your waist.

 “Mind the public.” You tell him with a whisper.

 “The last person already left. And I told my fellow colleagues to leave earlier.”

 “Mmm.” Mumbling, you let him pull you to him until you're pressed against his chest. “So, will you tell me what this is about?”

 “We have the pool all to ourselves.” He starts walking, forcing you to move backward. “And no public to get in the way.”

 “Are you even allowed to do that?”

 “Who cares? I won't be here in Summer so they're welcome to fire me if they want.” That said, Billy moves suddenly, picking you up. “Better hold your breath, Princess.”

 And you only have time to do as he says before he jumps in the pool, pulling you down with him before you both move back to the surface. You're laughing when you're above the water, wrapping your arms around his neck. “You know what? I call this a special occasion.”

 Billy's lips break into a beautiful smile before he kisses you. It's wet at first, because of the water, but soon enough his taste overcomes everything. You want to kiss Billy all the damn time, and you have no idea why you don't.

 Oh, it's because you don't see the point of making out with someone you have nothing with.

 The thought makes you pull away, catching your breath.

 “Hey. What's wrong?” He caresses your cheek, making you look up at him again.

 “What are we?” You can't help but ask, wondering if this is a mistake. “You know what, never mind. I don't want to ruin the moment.”

 “What do you want us to be?” He says in a low voice, strong arms holding you close. “Because I made it clear what I want.”

 “I don't want to be just another fling.” Speaking low, you hope he can't see your blushing cheeks. “I want something real. Solid. Something that lasts.”

 “We have to talk then,” Billy states and you both start moving to the edge.

 Pinching your eyebrows together, you let Billy help you climb off. “If you look at my ass, Billy Hargrove, I swear to God-” And you push yourself up, looking down at him. “-I'll punch you in the face.”

 “Then you can't look either, baby.” He mutters as he comes out as well, a smirk on his face. “Come, let's sit.” Billy takes you to the table near his lifeguard chair, passing you a towel before taking one to himself.

 “What is it you want to talk about?”

 Billy sighs, and you sit side by side, bodies turned toward each other. “I'm going to California when school is over.”

 Nodding, you look down at your hands, keeping the towel from falling off your shoulders. “I know.” Your heart sinks, and you start mentally counting the days you'll still have him around. “Then what-”

 “I want you to come with me.”

 Raising your eyes at him, you freeze. “What?” You ask, but no sound comes out. “What do you mean by that, Billy?”

 “I mean I want you to come with me. Live with me.” He takes your hand, placing a kiss on your knuckles. “I can't picture myself going and leaving you behind but I can't picture myself staying...”

 “I don't want you to stay, not even because of me. This place isn't for you and you need to stay away from, well, your father. I just-”

 “You won't live with someone you're not in a relationship with, I know.” He smiles, bringing one hand to caress your chin. “Be my girlfriend, (Y/N).”

 Gasping, you bite your lip. This isn't about saying yes to being his girlfriend. It's about saying yes to moving to the other sound of the country. That's a lot. “We need a plan. And you need to be sure because if I move there with you and you dump me, I won't be mad, I'll be furious.”

 Billy laughs, shaking his head lightly. “I would never propose such a thing if I wasn't sure I wanted you with me.”

 “I'd have to transfer to a University there. And I'll have to start the process now so when I go it'll all be ready and we'll need a place to live and–”

 “Slow down, Princess.” He cuts you off with a smile, furrowing his eyebrows. “Actually, go on. Because all that means your answer is yes.”

 He got you there. You're making plans already, thinking about everything you'll need to do to go. Even before saying the word. “I guess...” You mutter, looking down at your hands again. “But there's a lot we have to go through before doing that.”

 “A friend of mine has a job for me. They pay enough to rent a small apartment. I have some savings as well and I plan on getting into college. But if you're coming I could wait until you graduate and-”

 “If we're doing this we have to plan it together.” You say, mind racing as you stand up, pacing around and leaving the towel behind. The sun is almost down, and the shadows are mixed with an orange, golden light. “California is a big city so that means a lot of job opportunities and I can pull up a part-time job. Actually, I can have some recommendation letters that would get me a nice job during college.”

 Billy comes after you, and you turn to look at him. “I don't wanna mess up your studying.”

 “I can do both. And we'd have a house to keep, we both will need jobs.”

 “God, it sounds like we're getting married,” Billy says, chuckling.

 “Oh, I...” Clearing your throat, you look away. That's not how you wanted to come out. “I'm just trying to think about how to make things work for both of us. You know overthinking is my thing and-”

 “We should just get married then.” He cuts in, and his words make you stop. Make your heart stop. And you think the entire planet stopped spinning as well.

 “Excuse me, what?” You nervously giggle, hands on your hips. “Are you serious? Because I don't like this kind of joke.”

 Billy smiles, taking your arms and pulling you close to him. “It's simple math.”

 “You suck at Math, Billy.”

 “First of all, ouch.” You giggle, surrendering to his embrace, wrapping your arms around his neck. “Second, I want this. I wanna go to Cali with you, live with you, and that, Princess, it's a freaking marriage. So I don't see why we shouldn't just do it.”

 “You're not supposed to get married just because it makes sense. It's supposed to be a commitment between two people who are in love.”

 “Well, Princess. I fell for you some time ago... So now I just need to know if you feel the same way.”

 Biting your lip, you sigh. “I love you.” It comes out suddenly because you need him to know. Billy makes you feel safe and comfortable and loved. And God, you want to make him feel loved. Show him the amazing man he is, that he's nothing like his father. You want to stand by him, always. “I tried to fight it. Tried to give you all the reasons why this couldn't happen, but here we are.” Pecking his lips, you give a little jump, wrapping your legs around his waist. Billy is quick to hold you up, both hands grabbing your thighs. “And I was dying to kiss you again.”

 “Well, now you can kiss me all the time.”

 “Wait up, wait up.” You put a finger over his lips when he tries to kiss you. “If this whole thing happens, we'll need to tell my parents.”

 “And how do we do that?” He bounces you up to have a better grip.

 “They're coming next weekend.”

 “They're coming all the way here? Why?”

 “Mmm... Because it's my birthday next Saturday.”

 “Why didn't you tell me?!” He asks, making his way to the pool again. “I'll need time to get you the perfect gift.”

 “Billy, I'll be turning-” You're cut short when Billy jumps into the pool.

 You're both laughing when you go back up. “You're turning 24, I know, Princess.”

 “Mhmm.”

 “Now, we can either talk about this dammed age gap or I can kiss you...”

 “I rather you kiss me...” That makes him smile, and Billy bites your lower lip softly before capturing your lips in a passionate kiss.

[rascalentertainments]

I actually haven’t used the Ask box so I hope I’m using it right 😭 but I have some questions about your rewrite…

What was Flazino’s Wish like? Something about the hamlet or was it personal?

Will Star have some kind of panic attack or maybe something similar when he witnessed a wish getting eaten?

I’ve seen that the wishes are somewhat sentient, so what were their reactions when wishes get eaten?

Will Asha have a magical dress transformation? If so, COULD I HELP DESIGN IT?!

How long has Magnifico had the evil book?

Sabor’s favorite treat?

Are people more judgmental in Rosas due to being exhausted from their wishes taken?

Have children been affected by their parents’ behavior? 

Could I potentially design a wish poster 👉👈

How entertaining are wish ceremonies?

Would Rosas be more heavily guarded since Asha and Star escaped from the Queen?

Will Star ever open up to Asha about his loneliness?

What do Star and Asha have in common? 

And finally, does Star think of fireworks when viewing them from the Stratosphere?

Okay that’s all of them, have a good day!!!

Hey there! Wow you got some great questions here, let's get started! (P.S you used it right! I just need to make a proper link!)

Flazino's wish is to study magic because he believes he can help others with it. Things like replenishing water supply, heal sickness that medicine can't, plants can come back to life and bring crops, ect. While he can't fully do that right now, he helps with what he can for the Hamlet.

Yes! He gets a connection to the wishes when he touches them, so when Flazino and the old woman's wishes are crushed, he can feel like something has hit him, hard. (When Asha is danger of dying he actually starts feeling like he's dying as well since they're connected) and it happens again when Magnifico tries to absorb Star into the staff. Its supposed to feel as big as space inside, but it terrifies him because it will be like he's alone in space again.

Fear, mostly because anyone of them could be next, whether Mags goes for them or their wishers.

YES, YES SHE WILL!! AND YES, YOU CAN DESIGN IT! I've been brainstorming ideas for a while and the idea I had came to me on Pinterest. Something like this below, using the star patterns/constellations and mash tails and then apply them to the second picture of one of Asha's concept dresses.

5. He's had the book for about 10 years. He started using it more recently when he and his wife began to plan to steal a star from the sky.

6. Goat If Amaya can't provide baked salmon treats, then he likes to lurk around Rosas' to find the few rodents from underground. Makes him feels like he's in the wild.

7. Yes, the wishes being taken has begun taking their tolls on their positivity. Besides the drowsiness, they get a little suspicious of others, and it gets worse when Magnifico makes and order to turn in Asha, Star and other traitors they find or hear about!

8. A little. They still have their wishes and youth, so most of them don't notice. But once some do, they began to worry somethings wrong and ask Mags for help.

9. HECK YEAH YOU CAN!! 😃 I've had the image in my mind for months, so I'll send to you the vision I have in my head later on, it gives the biggest Disney vibes!

10. Oh they're a blast! 😂 Its full of music fanfare, fireworks, confetti, spotlights, the whole Hollywood deal! (Then they steal their souls/wishes) Even though its supposed to be about the person making their wishes, but the royals always make it about themselves. 😂 In fact, that's something coming in its own mini story, and when we reach the third act! It'll be like that Far Far Away Red Carpet scene from Shrek 2!

11. Definitely! After Star gets revealed and the traitor exposes them, the castle is double guarded, so the team goes into hiding in Bazeema's quiet hideaway.

12. Sometime before At All Costs and when Asha sees how Star is shaken up by almost being trapped in Mags' staff. He even stops smiling for a while and it really worries her. Seeing him not smile is like the sun not shining. Its unnatural.

13. Besides both having a desire to help others, they both love seeing the world. They even both are full of joy. Only Star is always showing it while Asha believes she had to push it down after her father died. When she sees how he always gives his joy to others, including repairing the pencil her father gave her, that's when she realizes she's falling in love with Star.

14. He at first thinks they're other stars shining on Earth, but once he sees that they're big beautiful light shows similar to nebula formations, he gets really excited! He wants to know how humans see them from below, just like the sunset.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, @ishadow246! That was so much fun, feel free to ask more at anytime! Can't wait to see what art you're cooking up next! 😁
