Drunk history exandria: explain the gods please?

YES LORE

Deities we primarily interacted with in Campaign 1:

Sarenrae the Everlight was Pike’s goddess and she had been very underground, very hipster, really just Pike’s great-grandfather’s thing honestly but then Pike brought her to the mainstream. I’m unclear what she’s the goddess of but she chills out with Pelor and Pike was a war domain cleric so like, war and light but in a cooler way than Pelor? Hasn’t shown up in Campaign 2.

Speaking of Pelor the Dawnfather he’s the popular god, probably god of the sun but who’s counting, humans like him, fish fear him. He picked Vex as his champion so you know he’s got good taste. The Empire has approved of his message and that nice mercernary who might have a crush on Fjord and definitely crushed Fjord is his paladin. Whitestone also likes him but they also like Erathis? I know Whitestone’s had a rough time of it but like figure it out.

The Raven Queen (Matron of Ravens for those of you who haven’t paid off Wizards of the Coast - Wizards of the Coast is just Yussah Errenis’s tax haven fyi)is great because she’s very different than she is in D&D 5e lore. She was a human who ascended and she’s both creepy and lonely but not in a gross way. The one cleric we know of, Lieve’tel, is cooler than anyone can ever hope to be. Vax dedicated his life to her. In my opinion she’s very, very tough but ultimately fair, even if I don’t totally agree with her philosophy. Also she’s a death goddess but she’s more of a goddess of death as the experience for the person dying, vs....(I’ve rapidly abandoned my attempt to split this up by campaigns)

Melora (The Wildmother)! Goddess of nature! Very into team-ups, collaborated with several gods for her whole ‘how do we deal with the aspects of death the Raven Queen does not, also if we could be a little more chill than having freezing blood pools that would be great’. Married (?) to Erathis (if not, at least long-time lover of), nature goddess. Druids sometimes worship her, a priestess of Melora once told Raishan to fuck off, she adopted Fjord, really she’s the best.

Ioun (The Knowing Mistress)! Goddess of knowledge. She got stabbed during the calamity and is still recovering. She managed to get Percy to kind of care about the gods which is impressive, and she can tolerate both Sprigg’s puns and Scanlan’s whole deal, and indeed encourages it, and also she’s the goddess over the Cobalt Soul. Like, if I lived in Exandria I would totally worship Ioun. She has some real like, Meryl Streep/Helen Mirren vibes in my opinion, like flowing gray hair, would be living her best life if she were not eternally stabbed, knows everything. I mean I play a social justice bard in my home game, Ioun is absolutely my jam.

Kord (The Stormlord) Kord is a himbo, and I mean this in the best way. He’s Thor, and I also mean this in the best way. He’s the jock storm god and he loves monks and barbarians. Earthbreaker Groon, arguably the most badass person in Exandria during the time of Vox Machina, was a high-level monk in his service, and Grog was into him. He just wants everyone to be super buff and love their friends, and he adopted Yasha.

other prime deities about whom we know less:

Erathis (The Lawbearer) is Melora’s girlfriend and there were some things in Whitestone dedicated to her and she’s legal in the Empire. I desperately want more Erathis lore. If I were an LA-based voice actor who knew the CR cast I’d be like “yes I am a paladin of Erathis please give me the lore.”

Moradin (The Allhammer) s a creation god and is commonly worshiped by dwarves; the Dust family has some Moradin elements in addition to their service to Melora. He seems great! I’m intrigued by the Forge domain and dwarves are criminally underplayed in D&D.

Bahamut is the Platinum Dragon; in theory Kima is a paladin of Bahamut and there was also a dragonborn paladin on (gasp) the Tal’Dorei council during the time of VM but in practice Kima seems kind of chaotic, in the best way. Kind of the pinnacle of goodness, so good but a little boring.

The Moonweaver: Elven, definitely not straight, mysterious. Molly worshipped them, as did TJ Storm’s character of Lucius Lorelei, so god of getting some. Involved in the initial fjorging of Fjord’s swjord.

Correlon the Archheart: Caleb is possibly into them insofarasmuch as he gives a shit about the gods? He might have been cured by a cleric of Correlon; also Correlon is the deity of arcana iirc. Canonically (in 5e at least, again iirc) nonbinary, also elven, but we don’t know much.

Avandra the Changebringer: seems to be popular in Ankharel/Marquet, and that family that adopted Kiri secretly worshiped them (her? not sure), illegal in the empire. I don’t trust luck gods personally.

----------------

The bad guys: all kind of blur together to be honest except for:

Tharizdun, he Chained Oblivion: very bad, is catfishing a bunch of people in Wildemount, Jayne Merriweather is a great fucking character though

Vecna: Liches get stitches. For more information see: most of CR campaign 1

The Crawling King (Torog): might be tied to Uk’otoa, def bad news, Fjord might have to fight an ocean demigod at some point.

--------------------

The none of the above

The Luxon: not sure what they do, but the drow sure like them. associated with dodecahedra, aka D12s.

Vesh: Kashaw’s deity who married him and did some murders. Apparently she’s not quite as powerful as she seems and is less bloodthirsty than Kash thinks but like, I’m not holding my breath.

The Traveler, now confirmed to be Artagan, an Archfey who is In Over His Head: loves tricks, played himself, needs Jester’s help.

[jamesginortonblog]

No one could accuse James Norton of allowing himself to be typecast. The 34-year-old has played a vicar-turned-sleuth in Grantchester, a violent rapist in Happy Valley, and the aristocratic hero of War & Peace. He’s also number three in the betting to be the new James Bond. And he’s just about to add to his library of opposites with two new roles: the staid tutor John Brooke, who marries Emma Watson’s Meg March, in the star-studded new film adaptation of Little Women; and the flamboyant real-life figure at the centre of the Profumo scandal – Stephen Ward – in BBC One’s The Trial of Christine Keeler.

“Ward was 100 per cent the fall guy,” says Norton, sporting a dark-blue crushed velvet jacket and settling in on a chaise longue in an upmarket London hotel. The actor looks every bit as debonair as you’d expect for a man playing the high-society osteopath with connections that ran from Soho to the aristocracy. “The government needed to clear their own name by tarnishing someone else’s.”

It was Ward who introduced the 46-year-old Secretary of State for War John Profumo (Ben Miles) to 19-year-old model and showgirl Christine Keeler (Sophie Cookson) at a party at Lord Astor’s country house estate of Cliveden in 1961. It led to an affair that exposed Profumo as a security threat – thanks to Keeler’s simultaneous relationship with a Russian naval attaché.

Keeler and her friend Mandy Rice-Davies (Ellie Bamber) often stayed at Ward’s London mews flat, and the 50-year-old former public schoolboy would later be prosecuted for living off immoral earnings in a dubious case of establishment revenge. The two had contributed small amounts to household expenses. Ward committed suicide after the judge’s summing up amounted to a direction to the jury to find him guilty.

Amanda Coe’s stylish, evocative drama establishes Keeler and Rice-Davies as sexually liberated young women for their time. Does Norton think they were victims? “Ward definitely used certain relationships he had with young, beautiful women to ingratiate himself with the wealthy elite,” he says. “He also groomed them to a point… but it’s too simplistic to say he was a man who groomed young women. His relationship with these young girls was often a very positive one, he would enable them, take them out of poverty.” Keeler was from a disadvantaged background and fitted the mould of the “alley cats” Ward liked to befriend. Norton gives a terrific performance as the sleazy Pygmalion.

“I really warmed to him… you fall in love with these characters, and Stephen Ward was way ahead of his time, so brave in how he lived his life and expressed himself, his sexual tastes, his flirting with cross-dressing, in a world that was still incredibly repressed.

“And the final reckoning was that Stephen Ward had somehow corrupted these Tory ministers and it was all his fault, which is absurd.”

I wonder if Norton, the son of a retired college lecturer and a mother who taught medical ethics, is as dazzled by the truly posh as Ward was.

“Wealth or class are not things that I’m particularly dazzled by,” he says. “I am by talent.” He cites Little Women director Greta Gerwig and her partner Noah Baumbach, who made Netflix’s Marriage Story, as an example.

Norton himself is part of a powerhouse acting couple, with British star Imogen Poots, whom he became close to when they starred together in a play in 2017. They seem very happy. “It’s good,” he says, but adds, “my personal life is very normal, I have a house in Peckham, my [parents] live in Yorkshire. There's very little glamour and scandal.”

There was a little bit of the latter when his previous girlfriend, actress Jessie Buckley, said their break-up had been “acrimonious”, but Norton is far too canny to add fuel to that particular fire.

Similarly, he won’t comment on the rumours linking him to James Bond, insisting they are “based on nothing”. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have strong opinions on the series in general.

“We all know that with James Bond, large parts of it, and all the versions of it in the past, are now antiquated and it needs to be updated,” he says. “And I think that Barbara Broccoli and the producers are very aware of that. Bringing in people like Phoebe Waller-Bridge can only help.”

Might the spy be a little too one-dimensional for someone who has taken on so many interesting parts? Daniel Craig, who is stepping aside after the latest film No Time To Die comes out in April, has often seemed unhappy with the role.

“If I was to take on a franchise,” Norton says, “I would always want to complement it with something completely different.”

He has just taken on a big HBO sci-fi series, The Nevers, he says, and is in negotiations with the BBC about doing a second series of McMafia. We chat about the fact that the first series attracted a measure of criticism, including some for his own performance as Alex Godman, the scion of a Russian mafia family drawn reluctantly into the underworld. “There was an article about the three wooden faces of James Norton,” he says with a laugh.

How did he take it?

“It’s a rite of passage that you have [bad reviews],” he replies. “Ultimately, it’s an art form which is deeply subjective and you’re never going to please everyone.” The character was intended to be “inscrutable and calcified”, he adds. Nevertheless, he admits he might play it slightly differently second time around.

“Yeah, possibly,” he says. “But, then again, you don’t want to pander to the people who didn’t like it. There's so much content out there that people who don't like it can go and find something else.”

One of the factors that Norton and director James Watkins agreed upon when sketching out Godman’s background was his public school education. Norton is a public school boy too; a former pupil of Ampleforth, the leading Catholic boarding school which was found to have covered up the sexual abuse of scores of children in a devastating report in 2018.

Norton never saw any wrongdoing during his time there, but does admit to being “quite badly bullied” and credits one of the monks - a Father Peter - with helping him get through it. “I was able to go and just talk to him and he basically became my therapist,” says Norton. “I just sort of sobbed my eyes out.”

Has it left a mark? “It probably has a bit,” he says. “It’s not defined me, but it has informed who I am. I’m hyper aware if someone is being in any way ostracised on a film set, for example.”

On Little Women, he found himself on set with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep and Laura Dern. The film’s a deliriously romantic and sentimental take on the novel’s sibling rivalries, but it takes its duty to Louisa May Alcott’s study of the economic subjection of women seriously. “It's important for us to go back to those punctuation marks in the struggle towards equality and recognise how far we've come, but also how we're not quite there yet,” Norton says.

He and Watson were given the task of writing their own marriage vows for the film, which he says he laboured over but arrived with them unfinished to discover that Watson had already written hers and they were beautiful. He was just young enough to read the early Harry Potter books, he notes, but has only seen a couple of the films – “Don’t tell Emma.”

He plays Chalamet’s tutor – did he fancy the 23-year-old as everyone else seems to right now? He smiles. “He’s a beguiling and bizarre, unique force of nature,” he says. Norton had been wondering about wearing a suit to today’s photoshoot, but is glad he didn’t as he’s just bumped into the younger man in a Gorillaz tee-shirt and sunglasses. “Whenever he’s around, I feel about 10 years older than I am.”

Among all its bold women, I wonder if his own character – John Brooke – is just a teeny bit dull. He laughs. “He’s a little quieter than some of the other characters, but that allowed me to just witness all these great women actors. It was incredible.”

There’s certainly nothing dull or quiet about the character he plays in the film Mr Jones, which is released in February. It’s the surprisingly little-known story of Gareth Jones, the journalist who uncovered the Holodomor – the man-made famine genocide inflicted by the Soviet Union upon Ukraine in 1932-33, which is estimated to have killed up to 7.5 million people. “He blew the whistle on the Soviet Union,” says Norton. “He was the first person to go [to Ukraine], and come back and tell the world.”

In the West, the economic crash of 1929 had led to the Great Depression. “Everyone was looking at the Soviet experiment thinking, ‘Oh, it's working’,” Norton says. “They were getting into bed with Stalin and trade deals were being made. And no one was calling them out. Until this one serious, bespectacled, earnest Welsh journalist got on a train and risked his life to blow the whistle.”

I wonder if those types of films can command a big enough audience to keep getting made? He accepts that independent cinema is in a period of shrinkage, but says, “while the audience for this type of film might not be as big as a Marvel movie, we have to protect those stories because film isn't just about escapism. It's also about education.”

[aydtd]

Note: Astrid is the oldest. Cate is the middlest. Barney is the youngest.

1. What is your name?

Cate: Cate Taylor.

Barney: Barney Clarke- Taylor... Sun. 

Astrid: Astrid Taylor.

2. Do you know why are you named that?

Cate: It’s short for Catherine.

Astrid: Is that what it’s short for?

Cate: Shut up.

Barney: What are you short for?

Astrid: That’s just how I grew.

Barney: You grew?

Astrid: I didn’t come out of ma at five-foot nothin’, yeah I fuckin’ grew, ya turnip.

Cate: Barney’s short for Barnabus.

Astrid: Barney’s short for a giant.

Barney: Taller than both of you.

Astrid: Taller than everyone.

Cate: ’s not difficult to be taller than Trid.

Astrid: Shut it; Barney what’s the deal with your last name?

Barney: Clarke is my professional name, I was born a Taylor, and I married into Sun. So legally I’m Barnabus Sun-Taylor, but I’m usually credited professionally as Barney Clarke.

Astrid: Huh. Nice; I didn’t realise you and Mickey [Barney’s partner] hyphenated. I’m named Astrid ‘cos dad liked how it sounded.

3. Are you single or taken?

Barney: Taken. [Barney wiggles the fingers off his left hand, to show where a wedding ring sits neatly on his ring finger.]

Cate: Taken? Taken. Not married though, almost made that mistake before.

Astrid: Single as.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

[There’s a long silence, the three of them look at one another with confusion.]

Barney: I played a superhero once.

Astrid: Oh yeah, you were good in that, what was it-?

Barney: X-Men.

Cate: Did you really forget X-Men?

Astrid: He’s been in a lot of movies!

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

Cate: The next time you read an alcoholic, lesbian, disaster Mary Sue, can you please send me a link? 

Astrid: Hey!

Barney: I’m pretty sure it’s ‘Gary Stu’ for me?

Cate: You’re not a Gary Stu... Actually-

Astrid: Maybe a little?

Barney: I’m successful, there’s a difference, I think.

Cate: (amused) Did you put yourself through the litmus test?

Astrid: There’s a litmus test?

6. What’s your eye color?

Astrid: Blue.

Cate: Blue.

Barney: Ma’s eyes all the way; green.

7. How about your hair color?

Barney: Ginger.

Cate: I dunno, I think I’d consider myself a strawberry blonde.

Astrid: We’re a weird sliding scale between mum and dad; I’ve got dad’s blonde hair.

8. Have any family members?

[They look at each other with amusement.]

Astrid: (sarcastically) No, I’ve never seen these people before in my life.

9. Oh? How about pets?

Cate: My daughter’s been asking about getting a dog and I’m pretty sure Joe’s gonna get her one if he gets wind of how much she wants it. 

Astrid: God, imagine her little face if Joe gets her a puppy, oh Christ.

Cate: She’d cry, she’d absolutely cry, like happy tears but... oh, God I’m gonna get a dog aren’t I?

Barney: Pets are great; I love Sir more every day.

Astrid: I hope [Cate’s] dog is nothing like Sir, that cat is an asshole-

Barney: Only to you.

Astrid: Barn, your cat is an asshole.

Barney: You’re an asshole.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like?

Astrid: Barney’s fucking cat.

Barney: Astrid.

Cate: Calm down you babies. I don’t like wearing high heels.

Astrid: Seconded.

Barney: Thirded.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

Barney: I box.

Astrid: That’s your go-to, isn’t it?

Barney: Fine, I also enjoy swimming, spending time with Mickey, and mixing drinks. 

Cate: That’s cute.

Astrid: I enjoy drinking the drinks he mixes.

Cate: That’s less cute.

Barney: Drinking isn’t a hobby.

Astrid: Alright, I enjoy going to pubs to listen to music, driving fast cars, and spending time with pretty people.

Cate: Yeah, that checks out. I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies, though I play music, my bass mostly, and, ah, studying languages I guess. And spending time with Claud [her daughter], obviously.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

Astrid: Bar fights, mostly. Smacked a few assholes who’ve heckled Barn’s movies while I’m trying to watch them.

Barney: That’s actually kind of sweet. I’ve only been in one bar fight, and Trid finished that guy off, but other than that, and a few stunts gone wrong, a few hits in boxing, not really.

Cate: (visibly uncomfortable) Not, uh, not physically.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Astrid: What the fuck? No.

14. What kind of animal are you?

Cate: I think I’m a meerkat.

[Astrid immediately raises her hands up to her chest like paws, perking up and looking around, imitating a meerkat. Cate smiles, and imitates the gesture.]

Barney: Yeah, I can see it. Trid’s that terribly taxidermied- ah, [he pulls out his phone, and taps away at the screen for a moment] cheetah! 

[Astrid shoves him, but both he and Cate are laughing.]

Astrid: You’re your asshole cat.

15. Name your worst habits?

Barney: Oh, Mickey actually hit the nail on the head when we did the Husband Tag on their channel the other day- follow Mickey, they’re sunteamick, all one word, on YouTube.

Cate: What did they say?

Barney: I’m too unperturbed.

Astrid: You’re too chill?

Barney: They said I’m a danger to myself because of it; got hit in the face at boxing a few months ago, broke my nose - not the first time, but still not pleasant - and went home instead of to the hospital because I didn’t think it was that bad. It wasn’t; I still should have gone to hospital but it wasn’t that bad. Much worse things could have happened, it’s just a nose.

Cate: You need to be more perturbed?

Barney: I need to be more perturbed.

Astrid: Being unperturbed isn’t exactly a habit.

Barney: I also leave the cap off the toothpaste after I use it.

Cate: That’s bad and you should feel bad.

Barney: I do, but I’ll never change. It perturbs Mickey.

Astrid: My worst habit is that - I’m a stunt driver sometimes, right, and I do mad dangerous stunts, and every time I get injured or have like, a near death experience, I don’t think like ‘oh maybe I should slow down’, I think ‘how long until I can get this fuckin’ cast off and get back behind the wheel?’.

Cate: You’re an adrenaline junkie.

Astrid: But only with dangerous car stunts.

Barney: You perturb me.

Astrid: Good.

Cate: I bite my nails.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

Astrid: Physically or metaphorically?

Barney: You look up to everyone physically. 

[Note; Barney Clarke is 6′4. Astrid Taylor is 5′0.]

Cate: Our parents, obviously. They’re very successful, and have been through a lot. I grew up idolising them because they’re my parents, but as I came to know more about them as people, it was just natural to idolise them as people too.

Barney: Yeah, mum and dad, also Alec Baldwin.

Cate: Alec Baldwin, really? I wouldn’t have picked that.

Barney: Did you see him in Streetcar? [he hums appreciatively] That man’s career, his talent, all the stuff of legend. Meryl Streep, too.

Cate: Yeah no, I get that.

Astrid: Meryl Streep can get it.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

Barney: Uh, I’m pan?

Cate: I’m probably on the asexual spectrum, I haven’t thought about it in a while. Not aromantic though, I guess I’d be bi or pan romantic? Queer. I’m queer.

Astrid: I’m- look at me, I’m a whole damn lesbian.

18. Do you go to school?

Astrid: I take a few classes here and there, but I actually didn’t finish high school, dropped out in Year 10 with my parent’s blessing and started working as a mechanic.

Cate: I haven’t studied in a while but I have a Masters in Public Relations.

Astrid: And she speaks like eight languages.

Cate: Five.

Astrid: Still, you’re a very impressive lady.

Cate: Thanks, Trid. 

Barney: I finished high school, but I’ve been working pretty steadily since then, don’t have a degree or anything.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

Cate: I’ve got Claud, I almost married her dad, but... but that would have been bad for everyone. I’m not in a hurry to get married, let’s say.

Barney: Mickey and I don’t really want to be parents just yet, maybe one day, but we’re happy just spoiling Claud when we can.

Astrid: Oh, absolutely seconded; that kid is terrifyingly sweet for how spoiled she is.

Barney: She’s so great.

Cate: She really is.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

Astrid: I run a Barney stan account on Twitter.

Barney: Really?

Astrid: Fuck no, but he does actually have fans.

Cate: I guess we all have fans in our own way, but a lot of that, like minus Barney, who’s genuinely a star, is more because of mum and dad.

Astrid: Imagine if Claud grows up to be a Queen stan on tumblr.

Cate: That’s horrifying.

21. What are you most afraid of?

Cate: The concept of Claud finding smut about Joe.

Astrid: The concept that Cate’s found and read smut about Joe.

Barney: Why would she need it? Couldn’t she just-

Astrid: Maybe before they were together?

Cate: I hate you both.

Barney: Well, that’s not a ‘no I haven’t read smut about my boyfriend’. Also I’m afraid of submarines.

Astrid: Submarines?

Barney: The big hole in the front of them gives me anxiety.

22. What do you usually wear?

Barney: Astrid doesn’t get to answer this one because she doesn’t know what fashion is, and dresses like a single dad in the middle of his mid-life crisis.

[Astrid shrugs but keeps quiet; her shorts have oil stains on them.]

Barney: Good. I’m a fan of colourful button-downs and slacks.

Astrid: Gucci [pronounced Gucky, like ducky but with a G] button-downs, you mean. 

Barney: (quietly, but with a lot of feeling) I hate you.

[Cate is laughing too hard to answer. She wears a pastel sweater and well fitting jeans.]

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Astrid: Kracken Rum.

Cate: That doesn’t count as food.

Astrid: I’m not changing my answer.

Cate: Fine. Original Glaze Krispy Cream Donuts.

Barney: Like the ones dad used to buy us when we’d visit him on tour in America?

Cate: Yeah! God they’re good.

Barney: I’m always tempted by whatever Mickey cooks, though they don’t do it a lot. I usually cook. I enjoy it a lot.

24. Am I annoying to you?

Cate: No, you’re fine.

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Astrid: How many questions left?

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

[All three of them seem to become uncomfortable with the question.]

Cate: We- we’re comfortable. Our parents are Roger and Ash Taylor, we’ll always be comfortable.

27. How many friends do you have?

Cate: I’d say we’ve all got good circles - very different circles, sure-

Barney: If Astrid could stop collecting my pretty-boy costars that is.

Astrid: (smugly) It’s not my fault I’m good at making friends with your pretty-boy costars.

Barney: I’m glad people don’t realise we’re related, sometimes.

Astrid: Because I embarrass you?

Barney: (grumbling under his breath) Because everyone thinks you’re cooler than me.

Astrid: Men are so easy to get; look good, drive fast, and drink hard. Once they find out I’m gay and I can help wingman them really well, and maybe fix their cars, I’ve got ‘em, hook, line, and sinker.

Barney: That’s a bit of a generalisation, don’t you think?

Astrid: Fine; pretty boys in Hollywood are easy to get. 

Barney: That much I’ll give you.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

Cate: Actually, Barney, that apple pie you made for Easter was stunning, I was meaning to tell you.

Astrid: Easter was months ago.

Cate: I’ve been busy!

Barney: Thanks, I can send you the recipe if you like.

Cate: I’d never have the time to cook it.

Barney: I’ll make it for you again, then. 

29. Favorite drink?

Astrid: Kracken. Rum.

Barney: Peanut butter and chocolate milkshake.

Cate: (again, uncomfortable) Orange juice, I guess.

30. What’s your favorite place?

Barney: The kitchen of my LA apartment, with a roast dinner in the oven and Mickey sitting at the kitchen island talking to me about their day.

Cate: Awww!

Astrid: That’s really sweet, Barn.

Cate: Well mine’s probably being side of stage at one of dad’s concerts with Claud with me.

Astrid: (quiet) Mine’s gonna sound stupid.

Cate: No, it’s- well, maybe.

Astrid: It’s just- I don’t really have like a favourite favourite place, you know? I have like, moments with people that just stick with me. Like, I shared a cigarette with Ben [Hardy] during one of Cate’s gigs and I just remember talking and laughing and looking up at the stars, and I could hear my talented as all fuck sister playing inside, and I just- it was lovely. 

Cate: Trid...

Astrid: And you know, I do remember X-Men, you know? Because when you flew with that scream-thing you do in the movie? I fucking cried. I was so fucking proud, dude. My favourite place is in a cinema watching my little brother on the big screen, or at a bar watching my sister smash out some of the best rock and roll of our generation, or watching dad play, or seeing mum’s smile when she’s finally happy with an outfit- fuck, sorry I didn’t mean to get all sappy and shit.

Barney: No- Trid, no, don’t apologise.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

Astrid: Not in a long-term sense.

[Cate and Barney share a frown, before turning their identical ‘are you kidding me?’ looks on the interviewer.]

32. That was a stupid question…

Barney: Yeah, I’m married.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Cate: Ocean, always the ocean.

Barney: Yeah, I’m with you on that one.

Astrid: But the ocean has submarines in it.

Barney: Well I can’t see them so it’s fine.

Astrid: Fair cop, I also have to say ocean.

34. What’s your type?

Astrid: (teasingly) Cate likes cute, goofy actors with dumb perms and big grins and-

Cate: Astrid likes all girls ever, especially if they buy her a drink.

Astrid: Guilty as charged.

Barney: Two opposite ends of the spectrum? Every girl ever and Joe Mazzello specifically?

Cate: ... Pretty much.

35. Any fetishes?

[Astrid opens her mouth, but Cate smacks her hand over her mouth.]

Cate: That’s information I don’t need to know about my sister, thanks.

Barney: (grinning) Bondage.

Astrid: (muffled) Nice.

Cate: Christ.

Barney: That’s the tame shit, Catie.

Cate: You are my Baby Brother, shut your mouth. Ow!

[Astrid has bitten Cate’s hand. She removes her hand from Astrid’s mouth.]

Barney: I’m a married man!

Cate: I don’t want to know what you guys are into, and I don’t want you to know what I’m into, okay? We all know too much about our own family, I’d like some modicum of privacy.

Astrid: Yeah, after you see your mum bare it all in a photoshoot from the seventies with Bowie, life does get a little weird.

Barney: Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, moving on.

36. Camping or outdoors?

Just wondering, what your head canon for Leon's family?

Oh my god, I was planning to post this huge compilation of my RE Headcanons soon (starting with what I have for Leon) when I got your ask’s notification. Are you a mind reader? Hahaha. But really, thank you for providing me with a justification to start posting them.

I would like to please invite you to sit because I have plenty – honestly PLENTY – of things to share over this specific matter (Leon’s family). And, of course, to ask you to bear with me through them.

For anyone else whose interest might be picked over this: keep in mind that these are (obviously) my headcanons for Leon’s background and family and in no way is anyone else under the obligation to accept nor fully agree with them.

I wrote them down because I think A LOT about storytelling devices, stories structures, characterization and characters studies, world-building, fiction tropes, etc. and, since I’ve been a Resident Evil fan from age eight to this day, I also tend to spend a lot of time thinking about its characters – and the overall rest of its lore. Furthermore, as a way to help me write them in fanfictions or even in meta-analysis, I’m always thinking of what would make sense within these characters narratives and to their personalities.

Anyway. Back to Leon and his family!

There’s a very solid theory in RE Fandom that Raccoon City is set in Missouri. I really take this into account when I think about RE Characters because it helps me “placing them” before Raccoon, since not all of them were originally born/living there. Leon, for example, according to canon material, only decided to apply to be a police officer in Raccoon because “he was intrigued by the bizarre murders cases in Raccoon City” going in the news. 

Because of this, *my* Leon S. Kennedy:

– Was born in small Galena/Illinois. His parents moved to Chicago/IL when he was around 8;

– So, huge fan of the Chicago Bears (and the Chicago Bulls);

– Leon was lovingly raised by a very Catholic couple, Liliana and Isaac;

– Since Kennedy and Scott are, respectively, an Irish surname and a Scottish name and Leon is not an unusual name in Polish (check out about Polish Americans in Illinois and you’ll have a more proper comprehension of my thought process) and German cultures, I think Isaac would be a man of mixed Irish and Scottish heritage, and Liliana of Polish and German heritage;

– Although, his biological parents were actually Roberto (Italo-American punk) and Abigail, Liliana’s youngest sister;

– Robby was a drunken deadbeat, while Abbie was an airhead obsessively in love. Leon was conceived when they were both very young – his mom had sixteen and his dad eighteen;

– Liliana had three daughters (ages 10, 13 and 15) by then (1977), but she and Isaac always dreamed of having a little boy. They even tried to, but the attempts led to miscarriage after miscarriage, so when Abbie gave birth to Leon, the couple was pretty much devoted to their nephew, always visiting to see him and make sure he was properly being taken care of;

– Robby took note of all that and when Leon was only barely one year old, he packed his and Abbie’s stuff and imposed that he was leaving and that she should go with him, leaving the baby behind, telling her that surely Liliana would raise him as if he were hers;

– Indeed she did, albeit feeling distraught by her sister’s complete negligence;

– Isaac adored the boy, and Leon’s three cousins always treated him as their little brother;

– Also: Liliana decided she wanted to erase Abbie’s true connection to Leon, so she got rid of all the photographies that led to those deductions, leaving only the ones that showed baby Leon alone or the ones with the rest of his relatives, but not with his biological parents. Isaac never agreed with this, though. He believed that once Leon got older, he had the right to know his origins, believing that if their love for the boy was true he’d love them back and recognise their role in his life, so there was no need to lie. Thus, he kept a photo that featured Robby resting a hand in Abbie’s shoulder while she was breast-feeding Leon;

– Isaac was very ill when Leon was nearing his eighteenth birthday, and passed away just five months prior to Leon turning nineteen (Isaac was sixty-three years old by his time of death). Leon found that hidden photo after Isaac’s death since his dad left most of his personal belongings to Leon;

– Leon never confronted his mother on it, putting together two and two and realising his biological parents haven’t thought twice before abandoning him, so he shouldn’t bother with them either as he was raised in a genuinely loving and supportive family;

– As I said, Leon has three older sisters: Lydia (born 1962), Meryl (born 1964) and Olivia (born 1967). Two nephews from Lyds’ side, and a niece from Liv’s;

– Parents personalities: I picture Leon’s dad as a mixture of both Jonathan Kent (DC Comics) and Eddard Stark (ASoIaF). A firm, caring, kind, upfront and sincere man with high moral values, strong ethics and unwavering sense of justice, who valued honesty above all else and always believed in the best of people and in helping others, true to the “love your neighbour as yourself” commandment. Liliana was the more stern parent (especially with Lydia, always wanting and expecting her to set out a good example for her siblings), so I picture her as a fierce, proud and honest woman, passionately protective and supportive of her family, that dedicated herself entirely to whatever she put her mind into (domestic activities, city projects, EVERYTHING); 

– Lydia would be the “Patricia Arquette’s character in Boyhood (2014)” kind of woman. Kind-hearted, hardworking and amazing, but guilty as charged of the serious flaw of always being romantically involved with scumbags. A Geriatric Nurse, divorced twice, mother to Kilian and Luke – both kids from her first marriage;

– By the way, Kilian is a problem-child and Lucas is the emo kid. Leon has trouble dealing with both;

– On top of it, Leon have several difficulties dealing with Lydia. Being the most distant from him in age terms, Lydia always came off as a bit distant to and unnecessarily strict with him;

– Meryl is Leon’s lesbian best buddy. Confidant, a bit arrogant, always open to give advice, prone to bluntly point out faults in her loved ones and to get angry with Lydia. She graduated in architecture and is a state employee, working as an Urban Planner. Has cleaning OCD;

– Olivia is the sister Leon was closest to since it was with her he had the “smallest” age difference. Driven, headstrong, empathetic and an introvert, she’s actually the one who inspired him to join Law Enforcement and is now a detective in Massachusetts. Liv has a long-time relationship with Peter, whom she met during her childhood in school, and they have a daughter, Harriet (any coincidence with Olivia Dunham from Fringe (2008-2013) is on purpose since Olivia would be Leon’s perfect older sister, ok);

– Leon’s sense of humour takes much after his brother-in-law’s one, Peter, considering he spent a lot of time with him as he would be a frequent guest to their house;

– He fell in love for the first time when he was in middle school in his seventh grade with an eighth grade girl, Allison, who was an exceptionally good basketball player and would kick his ass in all the practice games;

– Allie has very evident native-American heritage, skin and eye colour, hair;

– It was Allie the long-time girlfriend who broke up with him right before Raccoon. She felt he was being distant even prior to his decision to be a cop in Raccoon City. In truth, what happened was that Leon feared his future being set stone too early in his life the way things were going. His wishes to have more agency over the shaping of his own destiny started driving him further and further away from Allie as he felt she was expecting their relationship to progress over time to the building of a family etc.;

– Meryl and Olivia both loved Allie and to this day they don’t get over the fact that Leon didn’t marry her;

– Leon unwillingly distanced himself from his sisters, though, only contacting them for birthday calls and holidays alike because of all of that government recruitment stuff and classified shit and also dealing with a heavy emotional load after surviving Raccoon;

– The only reason Hunnigan found out that Leon had living relatives was that Lydia called to give Leon the news of Liliana’s death in 2010 (by seventy-two years of age) on work-time. Leon, of course, was very shaken with the news;

– While Leon only knows what Ada herself lets him about her past, family, childhood and the circumstances that put her precisely where she is now, Ada knows everything there is to know about his past, family, childhood and the circumstances that placed him precisely where he is now because she’s very competent at her job and did her homework as a spy (this will die with her, but for countless times she fantasized about him confiding all of those mundane details of his life and backstory in her);

– I’m very convinced that in one of those nights Ada visited him for some hoochie coochie after like, six to eight months without seeing or talking to him at all, Leon had to break up the news that she came in in a bad time since he already planned for a Thanksgiving dinner with his sisters. Ada accepts the challenge because she’s been REALLY missing him (horny on main). Ah, and he’s quite upset with her because of that “six to eight months with no news at all” “little” issue. So, picture that. Please.

And that is all I have for “Leon’s family” headcanons. For now. As I warned: PLENTY. Hahahahaha, sorry! Hope this can provide some entertainment and delight to you.

Height: 5′8″

Shoe size: 10 (8 in men’s)

Birthplace: California

Languages: English, very bad Spanish, even worse Japanese

What are you wearing right now: Dark wash jeans and gray “piano mushroom” t-shirt and dark blue socks

Favorite color: I really like mustard yellow lately. Also emerald green. Ooh and the Simulation Theory pink/blue bisexual colors

Favorite TV show: Fuuuuck. I can’t narrow it down to just one. One of my favorite shows of all time is The Mary Tyler Moore Show (don’t get me started cuz I’ll write too much about it). Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return (another one you don’t wanna get me started on). Firefly. Star Trek: The Original Series. And I’m sure I’m forgetting some.

Favorite movie: Uh oh. We could be here a while. I love films but I don’t talk about them here much. Here are 10 recent faves with some overly flippant commentary:

Hot Fuzz. Marry me, Simon Pegg. It’s for THE GREATER GOOD

Grand Budapest Hotel. Quirky humor and fun visuals and wonderful performances. Probably my fave Wes Anderson film. 

Dawn of the Dead (1978). Best zombie movie. Fite me. Also lots of “vintage shopping mall interior” beauty shots for weirdos such as myself.

George A. Romero’s Martin. Dark, sad, strange little grimy 1970s film but I love it. Is Martin a monster or just fucked up and misguided? Romero lets us make up our own minds. 

Avengers (2012). Best comic book movie. Tom Hiddleston as Loki... *sweating* I’ll never forget seeing this in a packed theater and everyone collectively losing their shit during the “puny god” scene

Drive. I love a slow burn. Also Ryan Gosling in that scorpion jacket.

Doubt. Meryl Streep and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman screaming at each other while Amy Adams does adorable things.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. I can’t recommend this to anyone because it’s hard to watch sometimes and you have to see the TV show first but HOLY FUCK WHY WASN’T SHERYL LEE IN MORE MOVIES

Possession (1981). Another one I can’t recommend to most people because it’s so fucked up but Isabelle Adjani is a fucking force of nature.

Ordinary People. This film brutalized me emotionally but I love it so much. Mary Tyler Moore kills it as the icy mother and I fucking love Donald Sutherland in it too. And much has already been said of Timothy Hutton’s performance.

Pride and Prejudice (2005), Moulin Rouge, Lord of the Rings, Men in Black, The Fifth Element, Star Trek I-IV and VI, Back to the Future, UHF (so dumb but I love it), Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, Alien, Re-Animator (ridiculous but fun if you can handle gore), The Great Muppet Caper (for real), The Empire Strikes Back, Carrie, Jaws, Harold and Maude, The Exorcist, The Godfather, The Sound of Music (a very important film to me as a child), and many more.

Favorite band: Muse is my muse. But also Bastille, Carpenters (I would die if it meant Karen Carpenter could come back), The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds is almost perfect and I love some of their weird experimental shit; they’re my Beatles), Simon and Garfunkel, ABBA, Rush, XTC (WHY DON’T MORE PEOPLE KNOW THEM), Coheed and Cambria (not ALL their albums tho), The Shins, Gackt, L’arc~en~Ciel, X Japan, Yoko Kanno (the queen of anime OSTs), Selena (would also die if it’d bring her back), and waaaaay too many more; please don’t ask me about film music or I’ll be here all day

Favorite author: I don’t follow authors that closely, to be honest. I’m weird about books. But I have enjoyed Terry Pratchett, Stephen King and Carrie Fisher in the past. I also love L.M. Montgomery (the author of the Anne of Green Gables series). 

Last three songs you listened to: I’m not gonna bother listing them, I’ll just say I was listening to the album Doom Days again earlier.

Last three movies you watched: Rocketman (need to see it again cuz it blew me away), John Wick 3 (with friends; never saw the other two haha), Suspiria (2018) (W T F)

Last three books you read:

Mary Poppins Returns

I’m a bad Disney fan, because I have only seen the original Mary Poppins once, and that was probably 20 years ago. I recognize the spirit and emotional flavor of it more than I really remember it, you know? So forgive me if my comparisons of this sequel to the original are not quite accurate - I’m working off of feelings here more than anything. And there were quite a few feelings being felt during my showing of Mary Poppins Returns. What kind of feelings? Well...

Mainly wonder, a tiny bit of boredom, and a deep sadness followed by overwhelming joy. The plot of Mary Poppins Returns (as if that’s why you’re seeing it) follows young Michael and Jane Banks (Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer), the siblings from the original, now all grown up. Michael has three young children of his own and they’re struggling to keep the household running smoothly about a year after Michael’s wife has died. Jane is helping as best she can, but when lawyers come calling to collect on an overdue loan things look very dire, and the Banks family is going to lose the home that’s been theirs for over 30 years. If they can find the certificates of ownership showing they own shares in the bank, they can save the house but if not...the house is gone forever on Friday at midnight. Enter Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) to take care of the children during this time of crisis (with some help from lamp-lighter Lin Manuel Miranda) and help remind Michael of what’s really important.

Some thoughts:

Emily Blunt does an incredible job making the role her own as much as she can. It's impossible to measure up to the incomparable Julie Andrews, but I think this is as close as you could get. I love that her Mary Poppins is a little more brusque, a little more twinkling eye because she’s in on the joke. I couldn’t imagine this one singing “A Spoonful of Sugar” but that’s also not what these kids need, so it works really really well.

Colin Firth! How could you!

The scene stealer for me is honestly Ben Whishaw, but I've been his biggest fan since 2012. His song in which he sings to his dead wife because he misses her terribly and doesn’t know what to do had me literally sobbing. That’s what they don’t tell you about finding the love of your life and getting married - now any time I watch anything in which someone loses their spouse, I’m a wreck because I’m imagining what it would be like if I lost Wife and I cannot. handle. it. Combine that with the4 dulcet tones of maybe the sweetest, best actor in Britain and I just...*SOB*

I regret to say the film does feel longish. About 20 min too long. If it were me, I would have cut some of the extended dance numbers and honestly jettisoned Meryl Streep’s number as a crazy Russian(?) cousin who fixes unfixable things. I love Meryl as much as the next person, but this sequence felt like it took aaaaaages for very little payoff that could have been gotten elsewhere.

The big cameo appearances were excellently done in a way that didn't feel forced or pandering. 

It’s honestly kind of weird to think of a big bank working FOR people's interests and swooping in to save the day rather than dancing in the flames of people’s misfortune. Although I suppose the film is set over 100 years ago, so maybe this is meant to be a quaint reminder of capitalism’s yesteryear when big banks weren’t predatory monsters? I’m happy we get a happy ending, but I grew up during the housing crisis, so you’ll excuse me if all is not forgiven after one feel-good movie.

Shockingly, I was very pleased with the children’s performances. Excellent casting, because the children are so integral to a movie like this successfully achieving its goals.

The lamplighter choreography was very Newsies-esque, but probably the closest to a showstopping number. Overall the choreography and dancing performances were lovely to watch.

The music! While none of the songs have that instant classic Sherman Brothers shine to them, they’re trying their damndest to get there. All are passable and worthy follow-ups to the original film’s songs. Wife pointed out that the songs seemed to specifically be written for the adult actors’ range, rather than the other way round, which leads to stronger vocal performances from Blunt and Miranda. There’s even a little rap section for Lin to do, which was charming. 

Charming is the best word to describe anything regarding Mary Poppins, and this film is no exception. Strong performances from Blunt, with lively help from Miranda, keeps everything afloat, while the emotional heart of the film comes from Whishaw. Just like in the first film, this Mr. Banks needs saving, and watching that transformation happen is just as joyous as it was in the original.

Tearing Down Sandcastles Part 20

Summary: Sofia feels stuck in life and has for the better part of two decades. Now she’s nearing her 30th birthday and her luck begins to change when a handsome actor accidentally destroys her niece’s sandcastle.

Chapter Summary: The last two weeks of Sofia and Sebastian being apart. 

Warnings: Anxiety, accidental injuries

A/N: Thank you to @what-the-buckybarnes  for continuing to help me through my writers blocks. You’re the true mutual

Gif @ bluesteelstan in case you can’t read the watermark

           After the little argument, we did our best to make the last two weeks apart work. Sebastian called and texted regularly and I was honest with my feelings. I told him how lots to people were trying to invade my privacy and it wasn’t doing anything to help my anxiety. Since Erica was my sister, it seemed easier for people to get information about men. I shockingly found my name in an online article listing celebrities who were dating ‘normal’ people.

=============

           “’Marvel actor Sebastian Stan has been in the business for years, appearing alongside other notable stars like Nicole Kidman, Matt Damon, Margot Robbie, and Meryl Streep. The Romanian native recently announced his engagement to the sister of acclaimed director, Erica Valdez. Sofia Valdez now lives with Stan in New York but has remained out of the public eye despite her fiancée’s career.’ I mean do they want me to just suddenly become an actress because I’m going to marry you?” I huffed over the phone after reading the article excerpt.

           “It’s just a trashy gossip site. They want drama.” Sebastian assured me.

           “Yeah, I’m sure they’d love to hear that you’ve run off with my sister and in revenge, I got with Noah,” I replied sarcastically.

           “A scandal for sure.” He chuckled and sighed. “Just try to take it as a grain of salt. No one else has a say in our relationship.”

           “They feel like they do,” I mumbled and finished folding a load of laundry. Setting each neat pile on the bed.

           “How’s everything else going?” He gently steered me away from the article.

           “Busy, which is good. Just trying to juggle it all but I’m glad to be doing something. I sort of felt useless before when I wasn’t working.” I clamped the phone between my ear and shoulder so I could begin sorting the laundry away.

           “Sofia, you’re never useless. I want you to do what makes you feel best. So if you feel good about work and classes, then I’ll support you every step of the way. But don’t think you’re useless.”

           “You don’t make me feel useless.” I murmured. “You act like I’m the center of the universe.” I teased.

           “Because you are.” He insisted lovingly. “You’re the center of my universe and that hasn’t changed since the day I met you.”

           I stopped in the closet with a smile on my face. I touched one of his shirts and my heart ached for him. “I can’t wait for you to come home,” I said wistfully.

           “I know, babe, but I’ll be home before you know it. I have an early morning though, so I have to let you go now. You have a lecture at four tomorrow right?”

           “Yeah, I’m working in the morning.”

           “So if I call you at seven, it’ll be noon there…” He thought through the time difference out loud. “Noon work?”

           “Yeah, that works.”

           “Okay, I love you. I’ll text you when I get up.”

           “Love you too.”

==========

           But the morning text wouldn’t come. Instead, I was woken up at one in the morning from a call. My sister’s name was on the screen and I knew it was urgent. She was aware of our own time difference and was mindful of the hour she called.

           Disoriented, I sat up in bed and turned on the speakerphone. “Hello?”

           “Sof, are you up?” My sister’s voice was tense and alarmed me.

           “Well, I am now. What’s wrong?”

           “Sebastian was in an accident.”

           “What?” I bolted up in a panic and threw the sheets aside. “What accident? Is he okay?”

           “His agent got in contact with mine because she couldn’t track down your number. She thinks it was a car crash but she’s trying to get more information from the film crew.”

           “Oh my God.” My hand flew to my mouth and worst-case scenarios caused an instant panic attack. I sunk to my knees and hyperventilated into my thighs.

           “Sof, Sofia, please just breathe with me, okay?”

           “I need to get over there!” I exclaimed breathlessly. Frantic tears stained my cheeks and I felt so hopeless. He was on another continent, what if something really bad happened and I couldn’t be there for him?

           “You have to get yourself calm first.” Erica did her best on dealing with my panic but Sebastian was much better at settling me.

           “Erica, please. What if he’s dying?” I cried hysterically.

           “Okay, let me just…” She sounded unnerved, probably because she couldn’t assure me that he wasn’t dying. There was a lack of information because of the disconnected trail of communication. “I will see what’s available for flights. I’m going to have to hang up though. Can you try to go through some breathing until I call you back?”

           “Y-yes, yes, I will.”

           When she hung up, I tried to calm my trembling body and close my eyes. It was nearly impossible to focus on my breathing because I was too scared. I ended up crumbled on the floor, shaking and begging God to keep my Sebastian alive.

=============

           Erica came through and pulled out some big connections to get me on a flight as soon as possible.

           No news came through and I was forced to keep my composure through the airport and on the long flight to Germany.

           Then I waited in Frankfurt, on my layover, desperately trying to get news from Sebastian’s agent. Before boarding, my second flight to Greece, a text came through. She told me that last she’d heard he was still in surgery. She also explained that a member of the film crew would meet me at the airport to escort me to the hospital.

           It was another three hours or so to Athens and the wait was excruciating. I was terrified to get off the airplane, turn on my phone, and read a text telling me my fiancee had died. When we landed, there wasn’t such a text. But there was another from his agent telling me the name of the man waiting for me, a bodyguard that worked for some of the cast.

============

           “Sofia?” A tall man with a distinct Yankees ball cap waved me over.

           “Yes, Isaac.” I hurried over to him. “Is he okay?” I could delay the polite introductions.

           “He’s out of surgery.” He nodded and offered to take my hastily packed duffle. “He should be awake now. I’m sure there’ll be a doctor there to explain the injuries, I’m not entirely sure what happened yet.” He led me outside where a car was waiting for us.

           The ride to the hospital was a little more bearable because I knew Sebastian was at least alive. But I didn’t waste time getting into the hospital and to the room, they directed me to.

=============

           “Sofia?” He looked shocked to see me in the doorway, probably still under the impression that I was still in Manhattan.

           I burst into tears when I saw the state he was in. Several rows of stitches covered over his eyebrow, down his and his left arm. His right arm was in a sling as well.

           “Sebastian.” I rushed to his side and tried to hug him without causing further injury or messing with the IV tubes. “I was so worried. Erica called me and I just assumed the worst. I’m so glad you’re okay. I was terrified I’d lost you.” I rambled incoherently through my tears.

           “Sh, draga mea, I’m okay.” He soothed and held me close with his good arm.

           “What happened?” I hiccupped.

           “We were driving to set and got in a bad crash. I didn’t really see what happened I just felt it…we flipped I guess. I don’t really remember anything after the initial impact. Got a little banged up though.” He kissed my hair. The reunion was a little different than we’d expected.

           “Like what? Will you be okay? They said you were in surgery for a long time.” I drew back and tenderly touched his face. His skin was mostly cleaned up of the blood but his stitches were fresh and it made me sick to my stomach to realize how deep the gashes must’ve been.

           “They said my lung was punctured.” He admitted. “But they said everything went well in surgery so it shouldn’t be a problem. My shoulder dislocated but it’s fine now and the rest of it was just glass.” He shrugged.

           I looked at him. It was as if he were talking about a trip on the sidewalk. “Sebastian, I could’ve lost you.” I couldn’t hold back. There were so many emotions I’d kept pent up while traveling for hours.

           “It’s okay, love, it was scary but I’m okay. I’m much better now that you’re here.” He sighed quietly.

           “Are you in pain?”

           “Nah, just drugged up.” He answered and closed his eyes. “      

           I sat on the edge of the bed and stroked his hair back. “Get some rest. I’ll be here.” After all the times Sebastian had taken care of me I knew it was my turn to step up. It wouldn’t be easy seeing him in pain but I loved him too much not to carry him every step of the way. Metaphorically, of course, I doubted I could carry him.

           “Yeah? Even though I probably look like Frankenstein’s monster because of the stitches?” He mumbled playfully.

           “You still look handsome, don’t worry.” I kissed his forehead. “You’ll always be gorgeous to me.”

           “Hope they don’t scar too much.” He continued rambling on in a quiet, slurred grumble. “More time in the makeup chair. Fucking pain the in ass…” He exhaled and his words faded away before he conked out from the painkillers.

           I stayed sitting beside him while he slept. I briefly sent a message to Erica and his agent, telling them everything that I knew. It was a relief to say he would be perfectly fine in the few weeks to come.

to build a home

Who: Adam Levine and Anna Kendrick (anam) 

When: October 5th 2018 around 1am 

Where: Adam and Annas home in California  

What: Adam and Anna are trying to clean up after their house welcoming party but get a little distracted. 

trigger warnings: small nswf

trigger warnings: small talk about ivf and fertility issues 

Anna: The party had finally ended, it started at 7:30PM and ended around 1AM. She was exhuasted, she was still sick but Anna was wide awake. It overall was successful, and even though Anna wasn't a party person the women wouldn't mind doing this every once in a while. She liked hosting and putting every thing together, in another life Anna would probably be an event planner. Finally kicking her heels off in her own home, Anna walked into the kitchen to start cleaning up the food and anything that was left behind. The playlist she had put on was still playing, but it was low and Anna was wondering where Adam was. "Hey babe.." She called out, and started to wrap up the left over food from the catering place.

Adam: He wouldn't necessarily call himself sick anymore more than he just had the left over bits of a cough, but he was hoping to feel completely better by later on that morning. Their house-warming party had just ended, and it was a little later than Adam had expected but he had a good time. Most and if not all of their friends had showed up to welcome them into their new place, and now, Adam was exhausted. He'd have to go to this IVF appointment with Anna after just a short few hours of sleep, and then jump right back on a plane for a show later that night. It was a miracle that he hadn't burnt /himself/ out yet, with everything that he thought that he could manage and what he was doing. Adam walked down the stairs from their bedroom upstairs just as he heard Anna calling his name, and he lets out a yawn as he makes his way into the kitchen. "What's up?" He asks, watching her for a moment. "I wanted to change."

Anna: She knew how tired he was, and Anna didn't blame him. She was wide awake, and wasn't ready for bed yet but Anna figured she'd let him go to sleep and she could clean up. They did have to wake up early for a doctors appointment though, and the women couldn't tell if she was nervous or scared about it or both. Taking a breath, Anna continued to wrap up the food but continued to pick at it as well. She was hungry, considering she didn't eat much tonight. When Anna heard his voice, she smiled softly to herself and then looked at him "Do we keep all this food,or throw it out?" Ann questioned, and then looked at him "I'm wide awake, so you can sleep while I finish cleaning okay?" She questioned "I'm glad that your mom and siblings came tonight. It was nice seeing Sam and Liza. I haven't seen them since Dusty's party. Well I barley saw them there but it was nice."

Adam: "Depends, do you want it?" Adam asked, letting out a small laugh. He still didn't understand why they had even hired a caterer in the first place for things little like they had gotten, but he didn't mind it. There was just too much of it left over. "I'm not gonna make you clean up by yourself." He says, shaking his head. "Just keep a little bit of whatever you want and then we can throw the rest of it out, alright? I'm pretty sure everyone cared more about the alcohol than they did the food anyway." He kisses her cheek and then moves around the kitchen to help her clean up. "I know. Sam's reaching my height and it's scary, I don't like it. I think it's time to knock him down off his high horse a little bit." He teases, "Liza loves hanging out with you, you know."

Anna: "I do, since I don't cook. I should probably learn though." Anna laughed a little, and then closed her eyes for a few moments after taking a bite of a piece of bread. "Baby you're exhuasted, I'm fine. You need to leave again tomorrow right after the appointment." Anna said, and then looked at him "That's true, I think everyone loved the fact that we had a little bar." She laughed, and then closed her eyes once again as he kissed her cheek "He's not the youngest,right, isn't Liza?" Anna questioned, and then smiled softly "Does she? Cause I like her a lot, Sam's cool too."

Adam: “You can cook pancakes. Breakfast is a good start.” He grins, letting out a small laugh before shaking his head again. “No, don’t worry about it babe. The quicker we clean up, the quicker we get to go to bed.” He teases, his eyebrows raising playfully for a moment before he chuckles. “It’s always the bar that wins out before the food. Next time should be a bring your own booze party.” He nods, “Liza is, yeah. She’s still kind of not over the fact that you and I are dating. Wait until we finally tell them that we’re engaged.”

Anna: "Breakfast food is the only thing I know how to cook." Nodding her head, she rolled her eyebrows and then smiled softly "Yeah yeah. Wait, I actually like the sound of that. Do you.., do you think it was too obvious that I didn't have one thing to drink tonight? Considering tomorrow is our appointment.." Anna asked, and then looked at him "I.., about that when do you want to tell them we're engaged? Cause I think Liza already knows I can't have kids.., or well might not be able too." Taking a breath, she looked at him and continued to eat the sushi that was left over from the appetizer platter. "Please don't leave tomorrow, I don't want you to go back."

Adam: “You act like that’s a bad thing. It’s not.” He can’t help but to chuckle when she rolls her eyes at him, and then shakes his head. “No, I...I don’t think so.” He says, clearing his throat. “You were off and mingling around with everyone and everything, so I don’t really think anyone was paying much attention to it.” He sighs, “I...I don’t know, babe. She knows, I think, yeah, but the only person who knows we’re engaged right now in my family is my mom. I didn’t know what you wanted to do about that.” He watches her for a moment and then moved to the fridge to grab a bottle of water. “You know it’s only a few more days, right? I’m home on the 15th. For good.”

Anna: "I mean, I wish I can cook other things I'm just too lazy to do that though." Anna said, and leaned in to kiss him softly. When he cleared his throat, Anna let out a small breath and chewed her lips "I.., I mean only Zac and Aubrey know that I'm trying to get pregnant and Meryl. No one else, but Aubrey wasn't here so it was just Zac and Meryl but they wouldn't say anything." Anna said, beginning to feel her eyes close, she didn't realize /how/ tired she was until now. She thought she was wide awake but she wasn't "Well, she was there when your mom found out what I had just found out, and I think she overheard our conversation maybe." Shrugging her shoulders, Anna sighed "It doesn't bother me, if Liza knows." Finishing up the sushi, Anna headed for the crackers and cheeses platter, she didn't realize how hungry she was. "We can tell them baby, they're your siblings. I mean I want them to like me, but I.., are you ready to tell them and other people that we're engaged?" Anna questioned, and then looked at him "I know, but I hate it when youre gone. The house is too quiet, and too lonely." Taking a sip of water from the cup she had earlier, Anna moved over to him and wrapped her arms around her neck "Have I told you that I love you recently?"

Adam: “Has Aubrey talked to you at all yet? I talked to her a few days ago for a bit, she said she was sorry that she couldn’t make it but that she was sending us a gift.” He says, “I don’t think so. Speaking of Zac, we should think about how we want to or when we want to ask him and Alex to be the witnesses for our wedding.” He sighs. “Yeah, I...You’re right.” Pausing for a moment, he looks at her and then nods his head. “I am, yeah. If you are. You’re the one wearing the ring.” He teases, “I know. I miss you too much when I’m gone.” He whispers. Putting his bottle of water down on the counter, he begins to smile a little as he looks down at her. “Mm...not since this morning, I don’t think.” He whispers. “I love hearing it.”

Anna: "No." She said, looking down Anna stopped herself and took a breath "I feel like I haven't talked to her in months, /since/ I broke down in front of you about me and her. I.., I don't think I've fully talked to her since the first pregnancy test was negative. I didn't.., I didn't even talk to her then." Anna wasn't sure if she was making sense, but she missed her best friend. Swallowing hard, Anna sighed ant then looked up at him when he mentioned Zac "I'm not sure, I think you and I need to sit down and talk at least a little bit about this whole eloping thing. Are we waiting for the right moment, or are we just going to run back to Fiji in a few weeks and actually do it?" She questioned, Anna didn't know how this whole eloping/getting married thing worked. At least Adam knew a little bit about it since he /was/ married before. Chewing her lips, Anna pressed her forehead against hers and she smiled "And it's a beautiful ring." Anna said, and kissed him softly once more "Well I love you, very much and thank you for tonight."

Adam: “Baby...” Adam starts, voice quiet as he begins to frown now. He had told Aubrey when they were texting for a little bit the other night that it wasn’t his place to comment on her friendship with Anna. It never would be, but Anna missed her and he could tell. “I know you miss her,” He says, frown deepening. “She...she’s gonna try and make it up to you, I think.” He leans in to kiss her forehead once more. “I think we should figure it out. I don’t know when we want to do it but I know I want to do it at...some point soon, anyway.” As she smiled, he brings his hand up to her face and moves her hair away as he kisses her back. “Why are you thanking me?” He asks, chuckling. “I love you too, babe. Can the rest of the cleaning wait?”

Anna: When his voice becomes quiet, Anna swallowed hard again. It bothered her, it bothered her that Aubrey wasn't here tonight to help her celebrate her new home like she has every other home the women had purchased, since they've known each other. At times, it just felt like they were drifting apart and it upset her. "I know she's with Chris, and she's happy and they're in Italy but sometimes I just need my best friend you know? I mean she's my best friend here in LA, anyway. My real best friend is Meg, maybe you can meet her when we go to Maine. I miss her too, a lot" Anna felt like most of her friends were guys, and the women didn't mind that but at times she wished she had a few other friends that were girls. As he kisses her forehead once more, Anna closes her eyes and rests her head on his chest "I want to do it soon, please. Because I love you, and I can't wait to marry you and be a Levine.." And just when he pushes her hair away, Anna kisses him softly again an then looks at him "Becuase, I don't know. I just.. I surprisingly had fun tonight. I usually don't at parties." Anna shrugged her shoulders "I.., I mean I guess so."

Adam: “I know you do. I feel like that a lot too...” It’s all he says and his voice is still quiet. He hadn’t heard a lot from Jake these days, aside from the little bit of time that he had popped in and out for Dusty’s party before quickly leaving afterwards. The two weren’t as close as they were over the last couple of years and Adam would be lying if he said that it still didn’t bother him up to this day. “Oh yeah? I’d love to, babe.” He says. As she mentions his last name, he finally begins to smile again as he kisses her back once more. “Mm...I love that. That you’re gonna be a Levine...” He teases, wrapping his arms around her to pull her closer into him. “I wanna cuddle,” He whispers. “We have to get up early.”

Anna: Looking up at him, Anna had almost forgot that his best friend was Jake and Anna still felt guilty about everything that had happened between the three, but also happy since she had fallen in love with Adam. She knew that Jake had showed up at Dusty's party, but the man obviously didn't say hi to her or come find her anyway. Anna chewed her lips and then buried her head in his chest "I'm sorry baby." She whispered, and then looked at him "Yeah Meg, she's been through literally /everything/ with me. I was her maid of honor, and that's the /only/ wedding I'll ever be apart of because I hate them but since it was Meg, I had too." Anna said, and then looked at him "Do you think, do you think Dusty will like Maine?" The brunette was a little nervous bringing the two year old, but her mother was excited on the other hand. "Anna Levine.." Anna mumbled to herself, and then smiled softly "I like the sound of that.." When he pulls her closer, Anna whines "But.. I.., I have to clean it can't just lay out."

Adam: “It’s okay. I’m here...he’s doing his own thing. I can’t really fault him for it. I mean—he’s...he’s Dusty’s godfather, so he can’t really stay away for long, can he?” He’s asking a rhetorical question because he doesn’t expect Anna to answer it. “That’s cute, babe. It shows that you really care.” He chuckles. “I do...yeah. I’m a little worried about the paparazzi and stuff, if there’s any, finding us. She doesn’t really like it and I usually try to make her feel comfortable.” He gently runs his hand over her lower back and lets out a playful whine. “Okay, okay...but you’re mine after.”

Anna: "Wait he is? I didn't know that." Anna said, now feeling even more guilty. Taking a breath, she listened to him speak and then smiled softly "Shes basically my sister, she was the person I cried too when I first ever got hurt by a guy, she was the person I told I wanted to continued with the whole acting thing. She's been there, you know? And I've been there for her, and I don't know." Shrugging her shoulders, Anna sighed "I know, there were a few paparazzi's the last time we were there, but we'll go spots and restaurants that's hard to find in Portland. I know my way around babe, I think we'll be okay." Anna presses her forehead against his, and looks at him "I'm scared for tomorrow." She whispered, and finally admitted.

Adam: “He is...I never told you that?” He frowns at the fact that he had left out such an important factor until this moment, and now he begins to feel bad as she takes a breath. “I get that. I think it’s sweet that you were her maid of honor. You should show me pictures.” He teases, running his hand over her back as he nods his head and presses it back against hers. His eyes find her own and he looks at her for a few moments. “You sure you wanna do this all over again?” He whispers, “You took all the...meds and stuff?”

Anna: “No you didnt.” Anna said and chewed her lips, the brunette swallowed hard and looked at him “Oh no, that was fetus Kendrick Im not showing you pictures of me with curly hair.” Anna said and then looked at him “Yes. I mean sex obviously isn’t working so... and yeah i’ve been taking all the medicine and stuff like that.”

Adam: He lets out a small breath. It’s not a sigh as much as it is a breath from his left over thoughts of feeling bad, but he can’t help but to chuckle at her words afterwards. “No? That’s not fair. You know I think you were cute either way.” He teases, “Mm...Yeah, sex isn’t working...but that doesn’t mean we should stop doing it.” He grins, then nods his head. “Okay, so...maybe we’ll have some better luck this time around.”

Anna: "Baby no, me with curly hair is /not/ cute. They're not Kerri Russell curls, it's Winifred Sanderson curly hair and it's not nice." Anna said, and kissed him softly one more time. "No I know, but it's just a little frustrating." Anna said taking a breath, and then looked at him "Maybe." Was all she could say, Anna kissed his neck and then looked down "What if it does work, and our kid isn't cute?"

Adam: “Babe!” Adam can’t help it, he’s laughing again. He picks up on the reference from Hocus Pocus right away and he’s laughing to himself as he shakes his head. “I don’t care, I wanna see it.” He teases, against her lips for a moment before kissing her back gently, his lips gliding over her own. “I know it is,” He whispers, tilting his head slightly with a sigh as she kisses his neck, “Let’s finish cleaning so I can take you upstairs...” He mutters. “Have you seen us?” He joked, “Our kid /is/ going to be cute.”

Anna: Shoving him playfully since he's laughing, Anna shakes her head "Nope." Anna said, and smiled within the kiss "We have sex all the time, it's not happening." Anna rolled her eyes, but then closed them and moaned a little when he kisses her neck "Okay." Anna said, and she tilted her head, then moved her hair so he can continue to kiss her neck. "She will be." Anna whispered

Adam: “Stop!” He’s still laughing, but the sound seizes when she mentions sex and he begins to grin. “Oh please, like I’m gonna stop having sex with you over something silly like that. You’re hot. You’ll always be hot to me, and I’m always gonna want to have sex with you.” He says. Pressing his lips further into her neck, Adam gently backs Anna up against a counter in their kitchen and moves his hands down to her hips, lifting her onto the counter to stand between her legs instead. “She, hm?”

Anna: Seeing his grin, Anna smirked a little and laughed "I'm hot?" Anna questioned, she never considered herself to be hot /but/ she did have an award that told her otherwise. "I'm always going to want to have sex with you. I've wanted to have sex with you the moment you walked into my door that night." Anna said, she always loved thinking about that night. With his lips going further into her neck, Anna moaned a little louder and she squealed when he lifted her up onto the counter. Wrapping her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist Anna nodded "I think we'll have a girl, if I get pregnant."

Adam: “Yes, you’re hot. I know that you hate being called those things...but you are. You’re so hot. To me, at least. You always will be.” He says, stepping closer as her legs wrap around his waist. He chuckles against the skin of her neck and the kisses continue until his lips close around her skin instead to gently suck on the places he was kissing, now intent to leave a mark on her. “Hm...” He whispers, “I think so too. I think...I think I want another girl, more than I would a boy. I’ll be happy either way.”

Anna: "I know I'm hot, I have an award that says hot&funny." Anna said, smirking and then laughed again. "I think you're hot, especially when you grow that full on beard." She said, and then Anna closed her eyes and licked her lips when he laughed against her skin. The breath on her skin sent chills all up and down her body. "I.." Moaning again, she took a breath "Try and give me a girl right now.." Anna whispered, she knew that wasn't sexy at all but the women was now turned on and didn't even care about the cleaning.

Adam: “The full beard still turns you on? Does what I have now get me anywhere?” He asks, whispering tone in his breath as he continues to suck on the skin of her neck, and he can’t help but to smirk at the sound of her moaned words. “What about...” He starts, “What about the cleaning...”

anon post

for all 3 of my fans

i live for ur wit and sass

thx n same

Dont fuck with the best! Kate works hard to get the craziest anons to post in her yard, and I've got nothing but respect. There's no fan in the fandom as genuine and earnest as she is. Wishing her and her cats a long and healthy life!

lmao yall need to quit

you've probably answered this already but what do you think will give vm the best shot at the OG?

a good short dance + a good free dance + gui missing the catch-foot on his twizzle again

Are you taking the bar exam this summer?

no i just finished my first yr

I will cry if T&S end up together, They would be a horrible match. Surely I'm not the only one who sees this??

i am ashamed that this is the level of trollin i get. step up ur game!!

"i hope tessa marries semple so i can see all the shippers cry tbh" Poor Alex! Marrying him would probably restore his self confidence and prompt a return to the cfl! Still holding out hope!

honestly alex was the hottest of all her bfs. fedor is balding, has a dad bod n is wearing khakis on the beach now. and semple was always fug. also rl talk i didnt know canada had its own football league until this guy came around. thats so cute for canada

"i hope tessa marries semple so i can see all the shippers cry tbh" I want her with the Bitove guy. His family looks like the type that will post tons about them on sm afterward.

lmao yall know his grandfather started the toronto raptors?? i knew this brodie’s last name sounded familiar. also apparenty he and his fam golf at trump’s resort @ mar-a-lago VOM. tessa is 500% going to end up with a smarmy, filthy rich trust fund kid like him like its not even a question

Hey now. I want shippers to get overthemselves, too, but Tessa marrying Semple, god no. Basically, Tessa, open your eyes and save yourself.

lol i actually wish she was still dating him so all this mindless speculation rn would stop

Bitter and hateful is what I come here for. Anons should just fuck off and go to the Disney website if that's what they want.

vm fans are so damn soft n sensitive about everything lol, i rly wish some of yall would stop taking everything i say so seriously

Please come back, without your snark the fandom is controlled by the most delusional shippers.

i’ll post more when there r actually things 2 talk about. being around here when nothing is happening and ur all screaming into a vacuum about the same things over and over is like being institutionalized in a loony bin

why are you always up so late?

nhf for this east coast bias, it is a perfectly reasonable time in california

Which of the current/rising juniors do you see making tbe most impact next quad?

carreira/ponomarenko are going to win a olympic medal in 2022. even if the shibs, h/d and bock don’t retire, i see them easily rising through the pack - they just have the Look and aren’t without talent. i’m iffy on the rest - mcnamara/carpenter are too creepy and weird, parsons have no height difference and are siblings, both are coached by an unproven staff, everyone else are varying levels of mediocre. hawayek/baker will go to worlds 2018 if they’re lucky and prob never again if no one else retires.

i wouldn't take h/d's music choices as an indicator of what vm will have. they are the c team and vm are the a team in that camp. look at last season... h/d got stuck with marie-france's lame ass idea of the evolution of music and vm got prince.

true..... altho i think personal taste is important too. tessa would die b4 she ever approved an ‘evolution of dance’ sd

I want Tessa to steal Fedor back from Meryl. All that drama would be hilarious. Fedor lost his looks and is butt ugly now so he is exactly Tessa's type, even more so than in 2009.

i nvr thought he was that cute but he literally looks like he goes door to door selling pool cleaner now

I noticed that when Tessa shakes hands or kisses someone on the cheek (like during medal ceremony or interviews) Scott often puts a hand on her lower back even though there had not been any physical contact between the two of them before said handshake or kiss. It just always surprises me and I'm not sure I understand why he'd do this. What's your take on it ?

lmao ik u want me 2 say its bc his subconscious is screaming out in jealousy and he wants to covertly claim her and show the world she still belongs to him but i rly think they r just touchy ppl who like to touch. or hes makin sure she doesnt lose balance and fall off the podium as she’s leanin over

moulin rouge would've been a much cooler choice in 11/12 for their musical fd instead of funny face, but i don't see them doing it for their olympic fd. it's a bit tacky and overdone. i figure they'd want to do something that's a little bit more special and unique then that.

ia it wouldnt have been a bad filler fd for an off year. i just dont see it doing it for their Last Ever and for the olympics. its such a warhorse - what could they possibly say with it thats original? and its such a character piece - they r such overly emo, earnest ppl, i dont think they’d want to do something that different from themselves for their Last Ever. 

huh what, vm don't stand a chance against moonlight sonata?? Pls... that would be a flop, such an overused piece of music everywhere, it's like Für Elise - hearing the first notes of it makes me vomit in my mouth a little

ya bc no one’s ever won a gold medal skating to a warhorse before

it sounds more believable to me than vm and moulin rouge tho

What interpretation? PC will just float around. They can do that in any key and judges will eat it up.

true, gui gui is a demon

No way. The judges will think they're watching Gordeeva/Grinkov again and just hand the gold to them immediately.

remember when pc said they didnt even know who torvill and dean and g/g were lmao

If scott doesn't cut his disgusting gutter frat boy hair I'm renouncing my Canadian citizenship and moving 2 Peru

was legit lookin @ pics from autumn classic n skate canada and i cant believe how short his hair was then, i can not believe i was complainin so much. i am honestly such a whiny bitch lmao this is my punishment

i have mixed feelings because Prince is the best short dance of VM's career so far but then Latch was one of the worst lol. It dragged in a lot of areas, especially the middle, and it never felt complete. I don't hate it by any means but considering we only had 2 free dances left and that was one of them... :| so I'm torn between trusting MF, and then thinking she's one misguided song choice away from ruining VM's swan song.

the thought of mf picking out the music for vm’s last ever fd makes me kind of sad. like yall have no ideas? at all?? ur relying on instagram suggestions and mf’s adult lite fm spotify playlists for inspiration? im surprised n disappointed tbh, like they arent kids anymore, i thought they would take more ownership of their careers. 

but idk we’ll see. whenever i complain a lot, i usually like their material later lol

why do i feel like vm are gonna come out in their sd with despacito... the justin bieber version...

ok who is this person who keeps sending me despacito questions?? you sound like you want it to happen more than anyone else and are trying to will it into existence

It's funny because Tessa is SO cautious about everything she/they say, that she comes off/is rehearsed--I don't understand why she cares so much. They are not politicians or even super famous. Plus most people who watch (excluding Tumblr fans bc they're all extra) watch during high times like Worlds and Olympics. Most people don't watch interviews and press conferences. If they do watch one, it's usually only the fun "game" interviews or the mainstream ones like etalk which they are not tons of

idk what this is in reference to but ok lol. it prob matters to her bc its her life and she cares bc its happening to her? just spitballin here

Oh no what has Max Trankov said I'm scared to know now. If he's a Trump fan I might have to #nopeout lol he’s russian and a male chauvinist pig. he once said he wouldnt do a quad with tati until she had a baby for him...”and then maybe we try”

still gonna stan his trash ass to the end of time tho

Speaking of bad music cuts I could not stand the way HD's music was cut this year. Like I like all the songs they used individually but it just felt so weirdly put together like the songs didn't flow well into the next. The only part I liked was the last part with earned it.

really? i thought earned it was the part that seemed completely out of step with the first 2 pieces of music. the transition was way off and the tempo was so much faster than the other 2

The Facebook q&a is the first time I felt vm are actually compatible enough to be a couple.

should’ve published this steaming hot take when u sent it a month ago bc i have no idea what this is in reference to now

what do you look like?

tired mostly

haha funny how we went from vm are in a relationship to they hate each other.

dont ‘we’ me bitch i have nothing to do with this fandom’s daily emotional yo-yo-ing

Can you explain the Tessa/Kaitlyn Weaver friendship? Are they really friends? Kaitlyn seems like the kind of girl Tessa would make fun of behind her back.

more like kaitlyn weaver is tracy flick and is trying to bring down everyone in her path tbh

I get a bit of a superiority, cold vibe with Tessa, don't you?

no but i dont have self esteem issues

I think people who find Tessa cold and snobby do not get her at all. Yes, she is far from perfect and her feminism is all (...) but to call her cold and unfeeling means you haven't been paying attention at all. Like get off her dick and/or stop following her career.

i dont think shes cold either. standoffish maybe, but i dont feel like thats from superiority or aloofness. some ppl just want to mind their own business and chill?? not everyone’s a chatty cathy like scott

Music stresses me out. The only thing I've gathered from all of the various discussions is they should be exciting but not too exciting because it's an Olympic season. But they shouldn't also be too safe. Like I know you have mentioned various choices that would be good but what would be in your mind the ideal program, both SD and FD. It's their third Olympics, so how do they build on the past while still being fresh but also them. Or do they just not and give the audience what they want?

something original thats not a warhorse but is also audience friendly and is instantly musically palatable to a lot of ppl

so basically mahler

Which songs from moulin rouge should they use?

if they were doing mr (which i doubt), the orchestral score is 500x better than the cheesy ass nonsense from the soundtrack. like come what may with nicole kidman’s tremulous bird vocals and ewan mcgregor literally straining not to pop a vein would almost be too dramatic and Too Much. i think that kind of thing only works for a v specific kitschy, performative kind of team (a la russians) and wouldnt vibe with vm’s super earnest approach at all. but the orchestral score is genuinely moving and effective in a less garish way

but i dont think they’re doing moulin rouge lol

"the movies honestly made it hard 4 me to interpret hermione’s undying loyalty and devotion to harry as anything other than latent sexual attraction tbh lmao" Hahaha, pretty much. Plus, the whole Harry and Ginny thing, even more so in the movies, seemed to come out of nowhere and was cliche as fuck.

is bonnie wright still acting? i’ve seen dead fish more alive than her on screen

LMAO someone posted a clip from VM's show when they were having dinner with WP and they were talking about how WP live together and they ask VM how they deal with one another and LOL I stg I started loling cause their reactions were #priceless. S literally just had a WTF look on his face while he said something hella awkward & T looked like she wanted to slap him. Her follow up that she doesn't think they could ever spend all their time together just cements why they'll never date for me.

lmao that whole scene is so stupid. kaitlyn n andrew r such good friends i swear

Thanks for setting that anon straight. Set some boundaries so that they don't egg on shippers?? WTF. They're fine with doing what they're doing, and if they're dating others, those others are obviously fine with it too. Besides, it's not like they're filming porn or something. If you can't handle it, stop watching them.

idek what these r in reference to anymore but it sounds dumb as hell lmao

Wow I cannot believe that people actually think VM owe fans any explanation for their relationship/partnership. Like we don't know them, we're never going to know them or be friends with them? Why the fuck do they owe fans a detailed explanation of their personal business? I stg these shippers have lost their damn minds. As long as VM continue to put out good programs and do well I couldn't care less what they're doing off ice. Whatever it is it's clearly working for them. You do you VM.

the entitlement of some fans is insane. its STILL happening now with tessa’s ig now too. why dont yall just let her live n let her white-girl post to her hearts content. she is literally doing nothing differently to what every other skater does, idg this absurd criticism

Fr tho both of them have such nice teeth and I've never seen pics of them with braces, like how??!?!

tessa’s r so nice i cant believe she’s never had braces. and they r such a natural white? like u can tell w most skaters that they get it professionally whitened but hers dont have that artificial look at all

Are you in college? Your bio says 23 but it said that last year too.

i actually turned 24 a while ago im just 2 lazy to change it. im in law school currently

I just read an ancient interview with vm where they said Mahler was about getting married or something... WHAT

ya i cant remember if it was them that said or marina that said it tho. i remember a story about a guy who wrote them saying he and his gf were watching mahler at the olympics and once it was over, he was so moved he got down on one knee and proposed to her and marina was like ‘thats what that program is meant to do’ lol

Do you think Zach is a good skater and partner? I keep changing my mind on him.....

he is such a bland, wet noodle - no taste, no flavor, just empty white carbs. its up to madi to add any spark to the team bc she’s the real star, he just stands there and is tall and can lift her

Why the fuck are so many people freaking out because Tessa did not attend a wedding with Scott. 1. They are not dating so there are no reason for Scott to bring her. 2. She has people visiting 3. I bet they don't even hang out off ice 4. I think Scott has a secret girl in Ilderton. 5. TS not dating. I wish people would claim down.

this is so far back in my inbox i have no idea whats happening

I love it that whenever Tessa posts an IG story the fandom goes crazy analyzing and speculating about Scott what there even when he is clearly not Then there there are talks about TS wedding. WTF Soon it will be TS having babies. I am wondering if maybe the fandom (new fans) are mixing reality with those fanfics.

honestly no clue

I know this has been discussed before but I don't get how Scott and Jess even communicated. Jess could barely seem to understand English back then and Scott couldn't speak French. I wonder if them not being able to speak to each other is part of why they lasted so long actually

lol bryce davison actually learned french so he could communicate w/ her. not scott tho lol

I don't think T cares too much about fs friendships the way other skaters do. Of course she's friendly with a lot of them but she's not really close with anyone except her partner, which doesn't really count lol. She has her own friend group outside of skating and that's what she seems to stick to. It's funny you mention Meryl, Brooke, Tanith, and Lauren because they're all still really good friends.

honestly i think skating stressed (stresses?) her out so much back then that she really hated being in that world for too long. i dont blame her for wanting to disconnect and not having to hang out with skaters who just talk about other skaters and skating 24/7

I don't mean this in a mean way. Watching Avatar.  If you paint Meryl's face blue she could be in the movie 

it kills me when ppl say she looks like a disney princess? ya the ant queen from a bugs life maybe

I think Tessa sometimes forget that Scott is a huge part of why they are successful and she wouldn't have all of these deals w amazing brands if they weren't so strong+didn't win everything. it's easy to put her on the pedestal bc she's gorg and can dance, but he should get/deserves just as much credit-- i mean he is the one lifting her and she could not do any of this by herself. sometimes i get the vibe that she thinks she's too good for him. maybe he's not as fancy, but he has a heart of gold

i’ve literally never gotten that she thinks she’s too good for him...? they go out of their way to pay each other compliments all the time and dont even jokingly diss on each other. its actually kind of weird that after knowing each other so long their relationship isnt just one long roast section where they talk shit about each other bc thats what my relationship w/ all my lifelong friends r like....but then again im a flinty bitch and they’re super earnest and emo like all the time. like i bet they both cry during sex

i find it kinda gross, disturbing and a bit pathetic that so many people feel the need to write erotic fan fiction about Tessa and Scott--like they are real people not characters, and it's kinda creepy that people spend so much time writing and reading them. Also, i would pay a million dollars to have someone show TS what people write about them--they would literally die and so would i--some fans are kinda extreme crazy

u know how on graham norton when he’s always showing celebs really erotic fanfic and fanart of themselves and they’re just dying of embarrassment?? i would literally pay everything in my bank account (so like....twenty dollars) for someone to do that to vm

omg it's gonna be so awk when tessa and scott have to see klawes...poor klawes, she just could not hold a candle to tessa. still don't know why klawes still follows tessa's insta--like i would unfollow and would not wanna see some of the pics t posts of TS giving each other lovey looks/touchy regardless of whether ts are together or not. also, it's never like t and klawes would actually be friends bc they're polar opposites

v disappointed that the olympic summit did not deliver on this #drama

tessa and kl were real friends tho, i think its sweet. and its nice they still keep in touch even tho scott is a dog

Are you a fan of tessa's style? She wears so much expensive yet ugly shit in my opinion.

lmao no. i think some of her casual wear is cute, but she wears some of the most hideous high fashion shit ever when she’s going out. like that blue carpet jumpsuit? yall know wht im talking about. those hideous trousers??? also she wears an unbelievable amount of boring black dresses

also gf needs to do smth with her hair. tired of her high bun and slick pony. she looks way cuter w/ her hair down imo

Do you think Tessa pays for all the Adidas stuff she wears?

no she def gets it for free. i was a walk-on my freshman yr of college for half a second and even i got a bunch of free shit from nike

How do u as an ed sheeran unstanner feel about ts doing these songs their obviously using him for the sd next season and i wouldnt be suprised if they use him for the fd as well

reading this made my cholesterol go up

really hope they're exhausting all the ed sheeran options now so they won't actually use it for comps lol

ngl i do kind of dig that embarrassing white boy rapping galway girl song but that cld prob just be my girl saorise ronan hypnotizing me like she always does

Minus the horrific man bun, do you think Scott's hot? Also, do you think Tessa finds him attractive?

no and probably yes now that hes so fug

Do you think Scott's attractive?? Also, do you think Tessa being told she's beautiful constantly on sm has made her get a big head--she often comes across as a bit cold and stuck up prancing around in her $1000 + outfits? Love her and she's gorgeous but...

some of yall need to stop projecting your shit onto tessa for real 

Power plays of the figure skating journalists. Inside Skating does a very literal interview and article with P/C which blows up and then they go to Jackie Wong so he can basically write up a damage control press release. Kind of fascinating to see both journalists doing their thing with the same content. Hard to believe Inside Skating didn't think their article would create a storm. Interesting.

speaking of jackie, skaters r really going to him for their exclusives now huh? dying that ashley gave him her big la la land fluff piece instead of tsl. pays 2 be nice and kiss ass

Doesn't look like KH/JLB will have much of a chance to advance cuzis so crowded with the current seniors not retiring and juniors moving up. KH/JLB needs to work on their twizzles, thier lines, skating skills, chemistry looks promising. Some of those junior and senior teams should consider representingif they want a chance at aCanada doesn't have any promising teams once VM-WP retire. I feel like CB, SS, HD ain't retiring till they win Wch or OG which may never with PC around.

hawayek/baker could prob skate for gb because jean-luc has citizenship and carreira/ponomarenko could prob skate for canada bc she’s from montreal but i doubt the us fed is letting either of them go. they’ve invested way too much at this point. i don’t think c/p need to move tho, i think they’re talented to rise organically through the ranks. i think they’re more likely to be us #1 instead of not tbh

I don't understand the whole David and Tessa affair; like some people say it happened after he was separated and others talk like it was a full blown affair. The only thing I do know is that her being called a "homewrecker" or anything else of that nature makes me want to punch something because it's disgusting, and it's society go-to response. Be cruel to the woman and basically give the man a free pass. But maybe he received shit, too? I just never heard about it.

i think he was basically separated but not divorced when it happened

Do you think if TS and Cappelini and Lanotte switched partners they would be a good team?

lol no. anna’s not a great skater and luca looks like he’s shorter than tessa

Wait is that Tessa's ex Semple in that photo you posted of her pre and post nose job? Cause if so damn does she lowball herself. Like she could have such better looking guys I do not understand. Girl is very pretty she needs someone to help her pick better guys.

~we accept the love we think we deserve~~

I think T is cringeworthy as a speaker bc she's sooo gd rehearsed. Not a things she says comes across like she didn't practice it in the bathroom mirror 75 times that morning. She would be pretty good if she could lose even half the pretension in her delivery and tossed out the eye rolly words she keeps littering the sentences with like privilege and journey.

they honestly both suck. she’s worse than he is, but they’re both super stiff. and they always do this forced banter bit at the start which just seems so awkward lol

That one anon pointing that some have denied the nose surgery - this is exactly what annoys me about those shipper blogs, not that they are shippers (you can want them two to be together- that by itself doesn't bother me), but their ways and how they always have to insist on vm's perfect image - they all get so upset and aggressive when you point some issue out, like why would you deny Tessa has done a nose job... so out of touch! vm are interesting exactly cause they're real people with flaws

i can not believe ppl r denying her nose job. like yo its right there. it does lend credence to my theory that all shipprs r just hallucinating n seeing things that arent there tho

If Tessa and Scott did hook up while officially with SOs I have a feeling they wouldn't consider it cheating.

ok lmao??? im sure something extremely profound i said provoked this

how rich do u think scott and tessa are???

prob millionaires by the time 2018 comes around if they get their sponsorships

-

i might do part 2 later if i can be bothered... but nothing really makes sense out of context lol, its like watching charlie kaufman do slam poetry
