#nick gets a job as a baker

[dreamsy990]

i think its so fucked up that theres no fandom for plvspw. like its this beautifully written story about grief and how we cope with loss and try to move on despite how hopeless it may seem. it's about love and how much you would do to help the people you love. it's a story where it feels like it's leading up to a sad ending, because there is no way for this to end happily, but in the end it's okay, because as long as you keep moving forward things will be okay. its this beautiful story and theres no fanbase for it and that is so fucked up

hmm. pl vs pw:aa au in which labyrinthia is actually a magical town people disappear to when they want an escape from reality and basically get an entire new life with cool magic powers. phoenix, recently disbarred, is so ashamed of himself that he does his research and disappears. when maya stumbles upon the info about labyrinthia's existence, she contacts england's best investigator and the latter's apprentice to enter labyrinthia and find phoenix, who at this point has been missing for half a year.

they stumble upon espella cantabella, a young girl whose father rules this town with stories (yes, this is actually real) and who has unusually strong magical powers that get stronger as she grows older. when she turned 18, her powers were so strong that they were mistaken for witchcraft against her father's story, and because the story is being tampered with, everyone's powers are going crazy.

layton, luke and maya find phoenix happily working as a baker. he has some kind of fire powers together with phoenix wings, and he doesn't think of his old life, having forgotten a good portion of it. except he's made friends with espella, and when she's accused of witchcraft, he's pretty much her only friend and has to defend her while layton and luke try to figure out what's wrong with the story and why it's getting out of control.

in the process, layton is cursed to slowly turn into a gold statue by jean greyerl by accident (starting with his right arm lmao), and the storyteller is unable to undo it because of what's happening. so, the stakes are very high as they continue the journey.

do i know more? no. all i know is that at the end, phoenix is given the choice to return to the real world, under the condition that he has to forever give up his powers. does he want to return to a life in which he has no job and is basically disgraced? nope. does he want to stay with layton? heck yeah he does

also maybe trucy is from labyrinthia in this one. adopted daughter from a fairytale town. she goes with nick ofc

Hello! First, I wanted to say that you are my favorite Nick writer! And I wanted to know if you could do a Nick x Baker!reader where the reader teaches Nick how to bake! 🤍🫶

Sweet tooth.

Summary: baker reader and Nick have a baking date.

Disclaimer: I don’t know hot to bake lmao, so I’m making thing up. Apologies to the people who do know how to bake): pls don’t murder me.

“Do we really need that much sugar?” Nick asks concerned looking at the bowl in front of us.

“Yes Nick. Have you never baked a cake?”

“I mean… not really, wow that’s a lot.” He says. “And salt… why salt?”

“Nick…”

“Okay, okay. I’ll stop, I was just curious.” He says grabbing the rest of the already measured dry ingredients and putting them in the bowl.

“It’s okay, baking can be… interesting, might be a word to describe it.”

“I don’t care. As long as you keep doing those chocolate cookies. God, I’m hungry now.” He hugs me and kisses my cheek.

“Wait.” I laugh a bit. “I’m mixing the ingredients.”

“You can mix and pay attention to me at the same time.” Nick places another kiss on my cheek.

“We are working here. Go get the eggs and the milk.” I give him a little kiss on his lips and he smiles widely.

“Yes chef!” Nick does a silly army salute and goes search for the things I asked for. When he told me he would love to bake with me I knew it was going to be funny.

---

“Keep mixing it.” I say while checking the temperature of the oven.

“How did you know I wasn’t mixing?” He gasps.

“I couldn’t hear the spoon hitting the bowl.” I turn around and look at him pouting. “Are you tired?” I chuckle as he nods. “Give it too me.” I grab the bowl and the silicone spoon and star mixing it.

“I don’t get it. It’s hard, the batter gets all heavy and hard to stir.” I complain. “But it tastes nice.”

“Did you eat it?” my eyes open widely and he nods.

“I mean, not to brag but we made a great job.”

“Nick, we still have to cook it.” I say.

“I know, and?”

“You ate raw eggs…”

“Ah, don’t worry, it’s the same as cookie dough. I have eaten it so much that my tummy is immune to any disease.”

I laugh as he pats his tummy proudly. “That’s not how that works but okay.”

---

“How long did you say we have to wait?” The cake was sitting in the oven, Nick and I were sitting on the couch.

“About 35 or 40 minutes. Not to long.” I kiss his cheek; his arm is wrapped around me and a random episode of Ru Paul is playing on the TV.

“I can’t wait to decorate it. I bought so many things to make it all pretty and yummy.” He says and starts to list all the things he bought.

“We should make donuts someday.” I suggest.

“YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?!... oh my god I’m gonna marry you.” He kisses my cheek once more.

“I will keep you by my side with all the sweets I make.”

“God, I have the biggest sweet tooth. You have me at your mercy chef.” I laugh and kiss his lips; he still tastes slightly like chocolate batter.

Okay, I just thought of a more disturbing alternate Nick Chopper-esque story for Boq that leads up to him becoming Tin Man.

Imagine that scene where Nessa ends up walking for the first time ever, and Elphaba decides to leave after that so no one would notice and get the impression that she's there to hex the Governess.

Boq, during this and essentially the entire time he's been working for the Governess, had taken up a woodcutting job, and had been talking to this kind Munchkin baker named Nimmie and keeping it a secret. He already had to accept that he's probably way out of Glinda's league, and won't ever get a chance with her, but talking to Nimmie and getting to know her had seemed to have made him not as upset about it (as he thought it make him).

He pretends to be thrillified for Nessarose when he finds out she can walk now. Elphaba had long since left the house. He then tries to leave Nessa, but she then convinces him to stay a bit longer, excusing it as "You've taken such good care of me, Boq. I feel I should return the favour". She, as said, insists HEAVILY on taking care of him, doing what he asks.

At first, Boq is reluctantly okay with it, and likes it. But over the next few days Nessa just overwhelms him to the point he can't hold it in any longer and has something to confessa;

He never loved her, he loved Glinda before, but now he likes a new girl. He only stayed because of guilt and wanting to initially impress Glinda. But that's not what he wants, not anymore.

With that, he announces he will leave her to go be with Nimmie. But the Wicked Witch of the East didn't want that. She at first gives off the impression that she understands, and leaves the room. But when Boq is distracted with hurriedly packing his things, Nessarose finds his woodcutting axe. Full of jealousy, fear, anger AND desperation, she picks it up.

Nessarose then just sneaks up behind Boq, and swings the axe at his leg with all her strength. Boq ends up losing a leg, and Nessa insists on helping him, which he's got no choice but to accept since it hurts too much. Thus, it results in him staying there longer under Nessa's control.

After a while of bed rest and healing of the gorey stump of his now missing leg, Boq tells Nessarose that he's leaving in the morning, another mistake on Boq's part. During the night, Nessarose does it again, lopping off Boq's other leg while he's high on sleeping pills (or whatever sleeping pills are referred to in Oz) and bandages it up.

It becomes a temporary but nonetheless horrifying routine; Boq wakes up with another missing limb every couple mornings, which left him no choice but to stay with his tormentor. He had become an armless, legless munchkin in the end, only being moved around by Nessarose and too afraid to say anything. Nessarose would even go as far as to threaten Nimmie by leaving a bloody gift for her, being Boq's severed arms and legs as a way to get her to back off.

One morning, Elphaba comes back, and upon seeing Boq's horrific state, she and Nessa get into a full on heated argument, and Boq ends up lashing out, telling Elphaba all the horrible things Nessa did.

Angered and impossibly desperate, Nessarose snatches Elphaba's Grimmerie and recites a love spell, but as it goes in the musical, it goes horribly wrong. Boq's heart shrinks, and Nessa begs Elphaba to save him.

Of course, Elphaba agrees and recites the tinification spell. She then leaves to save the monkeys and Nessarose is on her own. Boq is revived and is the Tin man, now with his arms, legs, and freedom back, he runs away in a panic.

Enemy to Lovers

Summary: you go with your friends and Henry to an island, little you know what it will happen!

Warnings: unprotected sex. P in V. Face ridding, smutt, fluff, angst.

Wc: +-5k

( Henry e y/n, you are best friend with a woman whose husband is best friend with henry/ you secretly worked for the cia and henry for the mi6/ your friends didn´t know that you were enemies, always fighting over a clue on some case or some testemuny/ you had already got into serious fights/ during dinners in your friends house you´d always smile and tried to be polite, but you could feel tension/ they decided to go on a trip)

You worked for CIA, at England, since six years ago. It was a secret job, CIA had other undercover job for you, the owner of a bakery. You could say you had a normal life, excluding trips around the country for missions behind clues on cases, victims and assassins. You had been friend with Camilla since you moved to the UK. She's been your best friend, always supportive and respectable, which was perfect. She was a lawyer at a bank company and maried to Nicolas, Nick, who also worked at the bank. They loved to have dinners at their house, always inviting you, Camilla´s best friend, and Henry Cavill, Nick´s best friend. You were always happy to go, but there was only one problem, Cavill. You could say you were practically enemies. He secretly worked at MI6, who also had an undercovered job, as a baker, for your luck. The couple would always say that you should work togheter and this kind of things. You´d always laugh to not give up the disguise.

You had nothing against Cavill, if it were not for him always trying to still parts of your work to take it to MI6. You both had already fought over many things. The most serious fight was one, body to body: he was unarmed, you were with daggers. He left bleeding, and you passed out on the floor. You could barely look at each other without getting mad.

--------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~------------

It was the end of the year, and Cami and Nick were helding a dinner party at their house for family and friends. During dinner, Cami says for you to stay after it was over, she had something to ask you.

Dinner was over and there you stood, with the couple and Cavill.

"So, we have something to ask to you two. January third we are going to celebrate seven years of marriage in Maldivas´s island, and we would be very happy if you could come along. To show you how much it means to us your presence, we are going to pay your tickets to go and your accomodation." The couple said exited.

You didn´t know what to think.

"You have one week to answer us."

You both leave the house.

"Listen. Nick means a lot to me, so i´m going. I don´t think you should go." Henry says.

"Excuse me? Cami means a lot to me too. YOU shouldn´t go."

You both arf and go each to your houses.

The day of the trip arrives and you had already packed and was headed to Camilla´s house when suddenly, you see Cavill´s car parked in front of their house. You couldn´t belive you´d spent a week in a isolated island with your "enemy".

You entered the house and greeted the couple. You and Henry did your little "play".

You four head to the airport.

"My and Nick´s sits are B5 and B6. Your´s and Henry´s are E17 and E 18." Said Camilla to you. You didn´t like the idea of sitting with that jerk, but at least you were on first class. When you saw Cavill again, by his face, Nick had already told him the "great news".

You entered the plane and Cavill sat by the window. In the middle of the flight, you fell asleep, and, when you woke up, you were resting your head on Cavill´s massive shoulder. He was sleeping, so he didn´t noticed. You thanked god, otherwise he´d proably laugh at you for the rest of your life. (Little you knew that he was secretly awake and enjoying the little touch).

The plane landed. You were all tired and headed to the hotel. It was a huge, luxurious hotel. On the rception, you had the delightful news that you and Henry´d be staying at the same room.

"When we booked, it was already taken most of the rooms. And for the days we needed, only these were available. These and the couple´s suit. But the room is enourmous and has two beds, so it´ll have space for you both. i´m sure." Nick said for you two.

You were not believing it. The thought was unthinkable. Camilla pulled you to the side and said: " Sorry, y/n. We really tried, but we only got that room. If you'll have any troubles, tell me and i´ll send Nick to your room and you can stay with me."

"It is your aniversary, i´d never take Nick out of your room."

Cami smiled at you and said. " Thinking about it, Henry is really not that bad to look at. And the conversation will never stop, since you work in the same area. Think about it, girl." She winked at you, with a mischiveous smirk.

"You don´t exist, you know that?" You said.

Each of you went to your room. When you opened the door, there it was, only one COUPLE´s bed.

"There'd been a mistake, let´s go to the recpetion again." You said.

"Sorry, lady y/n, but that is the only room available. I´m sorry for our mistake, the site must be wrong, we´ll fix it right this afternoon!" The receptionist explained.

You went back to the room.

You looked at him.

"What now, mister smart pants?" you asked.

"You can sleep in the bed. I´ll order a bunch of pillows and blankets and sleep on the floor."

"Fine."

He called the reception and thirdy minutes later, a guy arrived with five pillows.

"Thank you, i have a bad lower back, so i need all this to sleep." He explained to the guy at the door, who was with an interogative face.

The first day, you four went to explore the hotel, to know all its activities and places to eat. The night came. Henry used the bathroom first, than you. You had rules: he´d shower and brush teeth first, to not rush you; right was your side, left was his. You didn´t speake to each other unless in front of the couple.

The second day of the trip ( one day after you arrived), Nick sugested for you to do a beach day, to rent a tend and spend the day there. The idea was lovely. You had so much fun, the food was great, girl talk with Camilla were amazing, and even Cavill behaved himself.

"So, how it´s been staying with Henry?" Asked Cami.

"It´s fine."

" i can imagine, that piece of fresh meat all around during the day. I don´t know how, but his scars make him even more handsome."

"What scars?" You didn´t notice, since you looked at him as minimum as possible.

"The one on his thigh, on his arm and on his lower back. I don´t know how he got it, but it seems pretty deep."

You looked at him, trying to catch sight of it.

"I had never seen him in summer clothes before, so i didn´t knew he got them."

The rest of the day was peacefull. You went back to your room and made your rotine. When Cavill got out of the shower, you glanced at his scars. You couldn´t tell why, but their places seemed familiar to you. You both were already layed.

"Good night." Cavill said.

"Good night."

The next day Cami wanted to see the capital. Another day passed.

The next day, you went to see the museum on the ocean. The couple had already dipped, so, the only known person you had to ask to tie your bikiny bra was Cavill.

"Do you know how to tie?"

"Do you know how to not say offensive things?" He said as he tied. When he went to put his oxygen tube, you heard him sigh. As you looked at him, his hand was on his lower back.

"Is that to heavy for you, big guy?"

"Shut up, fainty girl"

"You shut up, blood boy"

After the diving, when you came back to the little boat, your blood presure was low. It was normally low, but you were feeling weak. You managed to get back to the hotel looking fine. In the hall to your shared bedroom, you lean against the wall. He looks at you and see your eyes are narrowed.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes!"

"Sure, you almost fainting again means that you are okay."

"Look, just shut up and go to the room."

"I can´t let you faint here, it´ll destory the trip."

"Lovely."

"Lean on me, i´ll help you to the bedroom."

"Not a chance, bloody." Suddenly, you black out.

You woke up on your bed. Henry was already asleep. There was a glass of water and some crackers left for you on your nightstand. You drank and ate it. After brushing your teeth and taking a shower, you were laying on yor bed, trying to go back to sleep, when you suddenly notices the situation of Cavill´s "bed". He only had 6 pillows and a sheet to make as bed, excluding this itens, he was on the bare floor.

The next day, Cami said that you were having a spa day. Some parts it would be the four of you togheter, some parts you and her or you and Cavill. Your muscles had never been more relaxed in your life. It only had one hour and a half left to end that spa day, before going back to your room and preparing yourself for dinner. You and Henry were put togheter at that time; you´d just have the final massage at the same room. You two were only in a towel, alone in a room, waiting for the massues.

"Thank you for the care last night. And thank you for not telling Camilla about it."

"Your welcome. I understand how bad it is to feel weak."

Time passed and you finished your massage and the dinner, then, you went back to your room. Before getting in the shower, you looked at Henry and asked:

"Didn´t you ask for blankets also?

"They didn´t have it, it is a hot island, after all. I forgot this wasn´t England."

"How can you sleep?"

"i don´t, actually."

You raised your brows to him.

"i´ve already been more days with bad sleep."

You didn´t believe him. It seemed that he´d lost 20 pounds and he had black eyes.

"You don´t seem ok. It´s clear that you lost significant weight. You konw, since you helped me, i´ll let you sleep in the bed, tonight."

"No. Then you´ll have to slepp on the floor."

"We could share the bed. We´ll make a pillow wall."

He seems to think for a while. But then, his ego gave up and he accepted, recognizing that he really didn´t look really healthy. After your shower, you saw two pillows in the middle of the bed.

"Why didn´t you put four pillows?"

"I need two for my lower back." He explains as he goes to the shower. After 15 minutes,he came back, only in a black pajama shorts, since it was hot as hell. Now, you were both layed.

"What happened to your lower back?" You interogated.

"I got stabed, it hitted the muscle; now, it is hard to get comfortable with it ragged."

Half an hour passed, but neither of you were sleepy.

"Haven´t slept eighter, hein?" he groaned.

"Yes, it´s been ages since i din´t relax like that, so i think my body instinctively feels alert." You commented.

"Same."

He looked at you and solicited:

"You know, what if, just for this night, we forget our jobs and have a conversation with each other, like normal people?" he asked.

"How can i forget how to be a baker?" He gave you a chuckle. You liked the sound.

"I could do that, for this night." You said.

"How long have you been working there?" He asked.

"Twelve years. And you?"

"Fifteen. ... Are your blood pressure always low?"

"No, just when i feel pressure over my body."

"Where are you from?"

"I was born in Krakow, but raised on Boston, EUA. I heard Nick saying you are from London."

"Yeah."

"If it weren´t for our jobs, we could have been friends, i think."

"This inteligences should have an organized diplomacy between then, so it wouldn´t affect anyone lives."

" It really should. I´m sorry for you having to sleep on the floor. I was rude on not offering you the bed before."

"There is no problem."

"If i may ask, how did you get those scars? I don´t know how, but they seem familiar to me."

"Well, i got them at a wednesday night. I nedded a video tape from an assassin, but other agent from another secret service showed and, we fought for it. I took the tape in the end, but i left bleeding."

"Henry, are those...are those mine?" You say, stretching an arm to feel the scar from his arm.

"Yes."

"i didn´t knew it hitted you so deep, i´m so sorry. Oh my god, am i the cause of your lower back pain?"

"I could say so."

You didn´t know what to say. You were feeling terible, he wasn´t a bad person, he was just doing his job. You moved next to him and gave him a soft hugh. "I´m so sorry, i didn´t mean it. You must hate me for this."

"You were just doing your job. You were under pressure. And i started the fight, anyway."

He smelled good, and he was warm. Secretly, you wanted to stay hugged to him.

"If our jobs can´t be diplomatic, maybe we can. So we can avoid more disasters."

"i think that is a great idea." As soon as he finishes telling you this, you fell a thick hand embracing your shoulder and pulling you closer. You didn´t move. Did he also like the hugh? "Is it okay?" He asked, looking at you. "Yes", you said.

"S-since we are not hating each other this night, may i say, you look cute in bathing clothes."

You blushed, looking down. "You are not bad, too" You feel his hand through your hair. You didn´t pushed it away, so he understood the sign: It was all okay from you. He grabbed your waist and pulled you to straddle his waist.

"One night, love?" He asked.

"One night." You responded.

He was layed on his back and you were on top of him. You leaned and gave him a soft peck in his lips. You pull away and look into his eyes, your hands cupped his cheeks.

He placed you on his lap, while sitting. Then, his mouth sharply attacked yours, tongue asking permission to explore your mouth. As you gave it, he lifted you and possitioned you on the bed, staying on top. He broke the kiss to take of your tank top (you weren´t with a bra, since you were going to sleep) and went to work on your breasts. He sucked one nipple while one of his hands were supporting him on the bed and the other were tracing your thigh.

"Please, pet, open your legs for me."

You opened, but not enough for his opinion.

He left your breasts and went down. He gently took of your short and penties. But then he brutally grabbed your knees saying: " I said, before, for you to open your legs". It burned were he was touching you. With your knees in his hands, he placed then on his shoulders and went down to your cunt. He passed a hand and licked it, looking at you. "Well done, y/n, already wet for me". He gave kisses at your inner thighs, trailing them to finally lick your folds. "Daddy´s girl, say a number until 20".

"four"

He quickly bit your clit, making you scream in pleasure and surprise. He inserted two fingers inside you, curling them at an affordable pace, while sucking your cunt like a hungry man. You put your hand on his head, signaling to go faster. He did as you plead, making you a moaning mess. You feel a heat grow in your stomach.

"Hen-ry, i think i´m gonna...". You cum before you could finish.

He places a soft kiss to your belly.

"Sit, my dove". You sit. He lays almost in the middle of the bed. "Now, sit on my face."

"Are you crazy? if i not kill you first, you´ll be injured!"

"Baby girl, have you never done that?"

"No."

"I am sure you will like it. And you would be in completely control."

He gave you his hand to gide you to kneel over his face. You now were hovering it. He grabbed your hips, pulling you down. You were scared and resisted to him. "I´m to heavy. I´m not skinny, you are going to suffocate, or i´ll even break your neck or your nose". He became impacient and pulled you down, even you trying to resist to him. As soon as you sit, you feel his wet tongue circling your hole. You let a moan out. He let go of your hips and you got out of his face. "See, nothing happened to me. You are not heavy. You are perfect. You are entirelly perfect. Now do as i told you." You slowly sit back at his face. He starts to eat you, putting his tongue inside you many times, his tongue dancing all over your vagina. He roughtly smack your ass and growl. He was making you feel every sensation you could before cumming again. As soon as he growled again, you came on his mouth, soaking his chin. You get out of him. He was going to lay you again but you stopped him. You guidded him to sit on the edge of the bed and take of his shorts; you kneel, taking his already hard cock in your hand, smoothing a little before putting in your mouth. As you did, he shivered to the attention being given to his erection. You hollowed your cheeks and started to take it as deep as you could. The tip hitted the back of your throat, making you gag, the vibrationg hitting his sensitive spot, making him moan roughtly. He takes your hair and starts to guide your pace. You noticed he was reaching his orgasm and started to give special treatment to the tip of his dick, however, he sarted to try to pull it of. "what are you doing?"

"I´m not gonna cum on your throat. Not today, pet."

He pushes you away and you lay on the bed. He places himself between your legs and insert two fingers inside you, straching you out for him. He leans and takes you to a kiss. Suddenly, you fee him entering you. You break the kiss and moans to loud, your nails scratchin his back. He starts thrusting. The sound was intoxicating. You buck your hips, meaning for him to go faster. His thrusts became hard, but not hard enough to leave bruises, since you´d have to wear a bikini tomorrow. His breath were unsteady and you were soaking. "Henry, it´s comming!". After a couple of seconds you cum all over him. "Do you want me to take it of? We forgot the condom."

"No need, tomorrow i´ll take a pill. Go ahead, daddy." As soon as you finished, he let out a shy moan and came. He quickly kissed you before getting out.

He laid beside you, without breath. You get up and straddle him.

"You know, secretly, i´ve always wanted to ride you". You say massagim his cheast. You possition him in your entrance and you sit on it. He sits and hugs you. Then, he grabs your waist and you place your hands on his shoulders. You starts to move your hips and he follows your pace. After some kisses your speed increased and you both cum. You stay on top of him for a while, hugging his huge torso. Suddenly, he slightly arched his back. He hoped you didn´t notice the stiffnes of his muscles, but you did. You imediately get out of him.

"is it your back?"

"it´s nothing."

"of course it is." You say upset.

"Darling, it was just a little stiffness, i´m getting old". He kisses your cheek. "Let´s go take a bath, we are both soaking wet". He lifts you on his arms bridal style and caries you.

After the bath, you were cuddling in bed.

"What time is it?" You asked.

"Three am."

"Hen, how did you know what i liked during sex?"

"Well, you have been always in a defensive mood, always trying to prove yourself, how you never need help. So i thought that it had a big chance of, actually, you just wanting someone soft and caring for you, leading and helping. Besides, you didn´t stop me, so i just kept going."

You blushed at his explanation. "Henry, why did you ask me to say a number, before?"

"Oh! I wanted to know how many times I'd make you cum."

You then realised." What if I had said twenty?"

"Well, then I guess we would be up until the sun rises".

You looked at him incredulous.

" You know, that face sitting thing, i think i should try it more times."

"My face is always available for you whenever you want, dove". He says with a smile.

You both stay in silence for some minutes, then you say: "You know, maybe, we could repeat the sex. We just let our work go, and we be ourselves for a while."

"I would very much appreciate that." You both fall asleep.

The next morning, it was your last day on the island, so Camilla decided to spent the day on the beach again.

"What is that between your legs?" Camilla asked.

You looked down to see light bruises at your inner thighs.

"i must have beaten somewhere."

"I imagine that Henry´s lap could be called somewhere." She says laughing.

"Hey! I could have sleept with anyone!"

"Sure, then Henry´s back scratches are from somewhere unknown as well". Camilla smirked.

"Oh, shut up". You both laughed.

Sam Watson version of Nick Carraway with Alan Ladd version of Jay Gatsby!

I’m torn between Betty Field version or Carey Mulligan version of Daisy Buchanan.

Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan.

Elizabeth Debicki as Jordan Baker.

Thoughts?

I think Carey does a better overall job at actually playing Daisy, especially when it comes to her mannerisms and her voice in particular. She’s described as having like a low almost songful murmur and that’s sort of unique among ‘it girls’, especially ones on the more ‘feminine’ side, so it really bugs me when they just throw that trait out the window (cough cough mia farrow). I do really like Betty Fields’ line delivery in some scenes though—I think it’s technically a little closer to the way Daisy would have intoned her speech. Plus Daisy is a brunette and Betty’s is the only one (including 1926, where she was a redhead) to get that one right!

And Elizabeth Debicki is a great Jordan. If they could simply let her and Carey Mulligan use their natural hair colors I would be soso happy. Literally why would you make the natural blonde wear a brown wig to play a blonde character and the natural brunette DYE HER HAIR a strawberry blonde to play a brunette. Baz. Baz Luhrmann. You’re normally very good at colors why are you doing this BAZ

Tom can choke regardless of who plays him but I actually think 74 Tom holds his own, like he’s got this frustrated, distracted air that I think Tom (a man whose whole character revolves around having an extramarital affair) would have beyond his gruff and restless demeanor. Like he’s never really quite there in the moment in a way all the other toms sort of miss. Bonus points for having the correct hair color because it Matters to Me.

Bonus: 49 also has the best Wilson (going against my usual Character Design Whining here!!!) who goes on to play Meyer Wolfshiem in 74.

And yes. Sam Nick and Alan Jay forever. I think DiGatsbio did a remarkable job as well but Alan Ladd just physically and wholly fits the role as if it were made from him. I know Leo came from humble beginnings and realistically Alan was just as successful at that time in his life but there’s this fatal sort of inadequacy that haunts Alan Ladd’s every single breath that Leo just doesn’t have. He’s too sure of himself instead of being sure of his dream. Hes a Good Gatsby.

That being said I appreciate his coked up Plaza meltdown.

Similar feelings for Macdonald Carey as Nick. He’s like a really good Nick but he’s……god this is so stupid to say this but he’s not hypocritical enough. There’s no itchy little awareness of his privilege at the back of his mind and no motivation for him to obscure it the way Sam pulls off. He just like…is this morally upright chronically catholic dude who comes out of this tragedy wholly unscathed and that’s just not right.

Last song: Mi Gente - J. Balvin & Willy William 🎶 From my playlist, because I'm not counting "If I Loved You" by Vagabond even though my tv happens to be playing that scene right now.

Last film: Red, White & Royal Blue because I'm currently watching it as usual. (but if I have to choose one that isn't that... Oh yeah, I introduced my mom to The Beat Beneath My Feet a couple of days ago. A non-Nick movie? Probably Barbie in the theater months ago.

Currently reading: "Rojo, Blanco y Sangre Azul" by Casey McQuiston

Currently watching: It's a theme here. I'm watching "Red, White & Royal Blue", to be specific, it's the museum scene.

Currently consuming: queso and chips

Currently craving: strawberry milkshake

Were you named after anyone?

No, and I suppose in a way, I named myself.

When was the last time you cried?

While I was writing a fic today, there are just some things that my characters must go through, but I go through it with them.

Do you have kids?

No, but I am a very proud aunt.

What sports do you play/have you played?

I've played many, none of them well though. My favorite was something I haven't played since junior high called "Volley Tennis", it was so fun.

Do you use sarcasm?

Yes, but I try to tone it down, though it's a go-to defense and a go-to ice breaker that I probably use way too often.

What's the first thing people notice about you?

Usually that I look much younger than I actually am? Because it seems to be a thing that always comes up a few minutes into a conversation? I think anyway. I honestly am not sure though.

What's your eye color?

Green, but maybe more like a sea glass green.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings all day! But oh please give me truly understandable angst and slow burn first.

Any talents?

I believe I'm a talented writer and baker, maybe I have some other ones, but I'm not sure anymore what they are as mostly those are the things I do most often.

Where were you born?

Chicago

What are your hobbies?

I have so many, maybe too many. Writing, reading, arts & crafts, building miniatures, going to SPN cons, collecting RWRB books in all languages available, singing, listening to music, road trips, watching baking shows.... probably a lot more.

Do you have any pets?

Right now, I have one dog. But it hurts to say that because I will always have more than that in my heart.

How tall are you?

1.67m

Favorite subject in school?

Art, because that was my reprieve from the otherwise hellish experience. Even if I wasn't good at it, it never mattered to my teacher.

Dream job?

I would like to be a published author who makes enough money not to do anything else but write. Or, I would like to work in the film industry as the person who organizes and keeps track of props and clothing. I've heard so many different titles for that role, so I won't be specific, lol. I just love organizing and doing that job would be awesome.

Just came home after watching Queen of the Ring (that wrestling biopic about Mildred Burke) and I have spoiler thoughts under the cut. I will preface idk much about this era of wrestling nor have I read the book the movie is based off, but I'm def considering reading it, learn more about it, and watch some of the matches that were in the movie. There's also gonna be inevitable comparisons to the Iron Claw bc that movie truly set the bar for amazing wrestling biopics, but it's also not really fair imo, one had far more of a budget than the other.

In general, I would rate this a 6.5-7/10 (where 5 is an average rating).

I think ultimately, Iron Claw and Queen of the Ring, while both wrestling movies, set out to do different things. The former is about the Von Erichs and the tragedy of their family. A movie about the emotion and story of the family with backdrop of wrestling that nicks some facts and historical accuracy to make a great movie. There is a very central theme and consistent tone. Queen of the Ring is more concerned about showing the history of wrestling itself but some of the character/thematic focus as a story is sacrificed, not reaching the highs it could've reached as a movie. But as a snapshot of what the wrestling world was like back then, it arguably does a better job than the Iron Claw and the matches take center fold for me.

In-ring work and how the matches were presented stood out immediately. There's a lot more of it than the Iron Claw and several pivotal moments in the movie took place in the ring, whereas the Iron Claw was a lot more precious about them because again, that movie is more concerned about it's characters and fleshing them out. The actress who played Mildred, Emily Bett Rickards, bumped her ass off all over this movie and gave a lot of great moves, I was really surprised. Ppl were hyping up Zack Efron's wrestling, but she deserves a lot of flowers too. Helps that most of the extended wrestling sections she worked with real wrestlers in Toni Storm and Kamille who did amazing jobs.

There's a lot of not so great things you can say about Kamille, but I have to give credit where it's due and her presence as an antagonist was perfect and she gets beat up if you as a fan want catharsis. A surprise for AEW fans: Kamille is in this movie more than I expected given her lack of marketing that movie on AEW, and is a lot more important to it than Toni Storm. Toni only had about a couple lines of dialogue and two matches, but Kamille had multiple matches and was in the climax/main event. I feel like if things worked out better in the ring and with Mercedes, she would've been highlighted more on AEW with Toni to promote the movie. And speaking of not so great people making cameos, Jim Cornette was there as the NWA commissioner, tho only very briefly; just a warning so you're not jumpscared when you see him. Apparently Britt Baker was in this movie, but I didn't notice her at all until I checked the cast list which is. lmao.

But yeah I think my issue with Queen of the Ring mainly lies on how overdramatic/cartoony the dialogue and acting can be at times, and the lack of dedicated focus on a central theme or taking it seriously. Weirdly enough, I love the overdramatic dialogue when the wrestlers and promotors are working you, but their attempts at making natural sounding dialogue when they're out of character falls flat at times. Some of the southern accents can be dodgy, line delivery awkward or just straight up bad. I could not take the actor who played Billy Wolfe seriously, except when the character was hammed up/was in the scheming carny promotor mode. There's a general feminist theme, but it's not really treated with nuance, which isn't to my taste; characters talking to a mirror stating they want to be role models for women or how they're the richest female athletes, felt amateurish.

It annoys me bc I see the vision: Mildred Burke having a passion for wrestling and ends up tying herself to a carny promotor in Billy Wolfe who's twice her age, marrying him to achieve her dream, though she isn't submissive and has a lot of guts and independence. She creates the image of an honorable all american woman, making ends meet as a single mother, but subverts it for being a fighter and breadwinner. Wolfe creating a women's league in a time where it's getting outlawed, but he takes women's wrestling seriously, while also manipulating and sleeping with his wrestlers, having them work matches when they shouldn't, pitting them against each other, and controlling all of Mildred's finances despite being business partners. When they divorce and create rival promotions, it becomes a huge drama and draw when there's a match booked with both promotions involved.

I think they really should've focused hard on that specific feminist/women's history aspect of the theme. They technically do, but idk, maybe they didn't go that into depth on it for me? They don't linger on the dynamic the girls have with each other, their relationships, extended scenes of them interacting, how hard they work, the struggles they faced on a systematic level, outside of the montages--and I absolutely loved the montages. The reason why all of them are there are practically because of Mildred. It also kinda felt like they were afraid to really show Billy Wolfe being an asshole; he 100% does terrible things but at the same time, I don't feel the weight of it. We actively see him hit Mildred and his son, but for some reason, I didn't feel an emotional gut punch, whereas in the Iron Claw, we don't see Frtiz smack his kids but you feel the pain of every bad advice and fuck up he makes deep in your bones. Sure, historical facts and details about Mildred's life would've been changed or left out, but I'm willing to sacrifice that to nail that aspect of the movie perfectly; kinda in a similar vein to the Iron Claw taking liberties to service the theme of family and sacrifice to nail that point. Idk I'm kinda unsure if my critique is valid bc if I have some internalized misogyny recoiling at surface level pro feminism--if it even is that at all. Lowkey overthinking/gaslighting myself

Other minor nitpicky things: some dodgy editing during sequences/montages, but I chalk it up to budget, so it's not really fair. It only stood out to me, bc the movie had several moments where the editing was phenomenal, so the times when the graphics weren't the greatest felt weird, but I get it. Kinda distracted by some of the hairstyles, soundtrack choices, and fashion looking half time period appropriate and half modern. Idk much about historical fashion, so I can't say for sure tho, but smth about it felt off to me.

While most of this write up sounds negative, I will continue to reiterate how the wrestling segments were my favorite parts, all the women looking like stars and were fierce in the ring. It still does an amazing job portraying the wrestling world of that era, backstage and performance aspects alike. There's an amazing scene where Jack Pfefer is helping Gorgeous George and Jim "the Black Panther" Mitchell with their respective promos, working on their lines and delivery, and the editing is perfect for it. It's also def inspired me to want to learn more about the era and check the book out myself; it'll prob explore more of the womens' pov that I've been craving from the movie.

HISTORY !

sawyer clarington's life starts on a warm summer morning. the light of his parents' life from the time he is born and the immediately favorite of the family. his life is easy, and he's not a fussy baby (much to his mother's relief). but the first four years of his life are lonely with only his parents to keep him company.

then comes elorie, a new addition to a family with so much love to give. sawyer takes his role as big brother very seriously and never lets el out his sight for too long. where ever his little sister goes, sawyer is happy to trail along.

then comes the adoption of oliver, another younger sibling for sawyer to look over. his parents are more than happy to have sawyer tag along in helping with his younger brother, even if he more reluctant to do so this time around.

sawyer starts playing football during his middle school years, loving the thrill of it all. it was something that was just his and his alone. he was great at it and eventually made the varsity team in high school.

then comes shay, the final sibling to complete the set. sawyer is 16, and his parents are seemingly always busy. so sawyer has to step up to the plate and help out more often. at first, sawyer is happy to do so but then realizes it means missing out on spending time with friends. but they're his younger siblings and they need him, so sawyer watches them when his parents can't.

everything changes when sawyer tears his acl, pcl, and mcl in his knee during a football game. he can suddenly no longer play football, barely able to make it out of the house to get through his senior year. he spends more and more time at home, his entire future suddenly turning to ash in front of him. he'd planned on riding out a football scholarship at whichever school would take him and suddenly that wasn't an option anymore.

so he watches his grandmother bake when she'd come over to help him watch his younger siblings. it's something that keeps his mind off everything and he gets a job at a local bakery helping out whenever he can. he also starts saving up for a place of his own, needing the space to just be. he tries to keep up with what is going on his sibling's life but it's a lot harder when they're not all under the same roof.

as soon as graduation hits, sawyer moves out of his parents house and into a small new york apartment on his own. he gets a job at a sweet nothing, starting off as nothing more than a cashier that some times gets to help bake things. it's there he meets liliana and immediately falls in love with her.

he slowly works his way up in the bakery, become an assistant at the same time he proposes to lili. he gets the job of baker just a few months after marrying lili, and gets the head baker job the day after lili tells him she's pregnant. sweet nothing and his little family are everything he needs in life.

when the old owner steps down and offers up ownership of the bakery to sawyer, he doesn't even hesitate to take it. then comes the brownstone, a big home for his family to live in. and then everything comes crashing down when his father announces he's sick. it takes everything in sawyer not to drop everything and move back home, but he wouldn't do that to lili or rosie.

when his father dies, it's overwhelming. a sense of grief that never goes away and sawyer buries himself in sweet nothing. the entire menu gets an overhaul.

then his mother gets sick and sawyer feels like the entire world is crumbling around him. sweet nothing gets a complete makeover and it's only rosie begging not to leave her friends that stops him from suggesting moving again. but if he can't move back home, he can bring his siblings to him. he offers up the spare bedrooms and is shocked when all his siblings slowly start piling up in them. together, they can grieve everything they've lost.

WANTED !

co-owner of sweet nothing: sweet nothing is sawyer's second child but he needs someone to help run it. he wants to spend more time with his family now that they're all under one roof again, and this muse is the way to do so. they were probably already a baker and had been for a while. friends: other parent friends (or friends through their kids), people who frequent sweet nothing and like sawyer, or brownstone neighbors that ended up being his friend. all the friends. fellow volunteers: sawyer adores dogs and probably spends a lot of time helping out at a local shelter. give him friends that met that way.

South Point McDonough is now a true mixed use success! ❤️👏🏾💪🏾👍🏾

I am so proud of South Point McDonough and Developer’s Jim & Jay Baker for bringing their vision to fruition! 👏🏾❤️💪🏾👍🏾

When the critics said Henry County wasn’t ready for growth and quality development the Baker team challenged the status quo and dared to dream amazing Class A development could succeed in Henry county while the old guard and entrenched Henry County political structure threw up many obstacles, they overcame them all annexing into the city of McDonough over the objections of Henry County Government. Former McDonough Mayor, Billy Copeland said, “He wanted McDonough to be the Northside of the Southside, “ while quietly approving the multifamily Springs Apartments and town home development zoning that made South Point Retail possible in mixed use form. At the time Henry County Government was controlled by antigrowth forces that only wanted to see Henry County as small town USA.

South Point then stunned the market landing JCPenney as the anchor tenant with plans calling for a buildout over time. Then the recession of 2008 hit stalling plans with naysayers referring to South Point as a failed development. They said the dreams were pipe dreams for small town Henry County. Undaunted, the Baker team forged ahead even when the economy seemed bleak and the economy stalled for years on end. They just kept preparing for the day the economy would turn into positive territory.

In the midst of the seemingly endlessly negative economic data in 2014, I reached out to Jay Baker asking him what we could do to assist in South Point fulfilling the vision and offered the help of the fast growing Because We Care Henry County-Atlanta South Facebook page with 4000 followers at the time. We then targeted basic business like Panera Bread, Chipotle, and Five Guys that we could not attract to Henry County previously. Because We Care Henry collectively targeted those businesses bombarding them with requests for store locations, afterward they started to considercoming to Henry County. The hundreds of store requests were verified direct from consumer information the businesses had potential support should they come the Henry County. After the businesses agreed to come we relentlessly promoted the business openings to bring out huge crowds from day one setting corporate records for Freddie’s, Five Guys, and secured a strong opening for Panera Bread.

Their success spurred interest from Dave & Buster who we bombarded with location requests but failed to receive serious interest. But we did get the attention of the Dave & Busters broker with all the requests getting on their radar for future expansion. A site selector told us how the system worked. He said if he chose a location on the north side of the city of Atlanta or in the city of Atlanta and that business failed, it would not be held against him because the computer picked that location. But, conversely if he chose a location in Henry County or the southside against the information in the computer database, he would lose his job if that business fail. That is the struggle we face on the southside attracting new businesses. The database discourages businesses from choosing Southside locations. But South Point helped us shatter that stereotype. There would be no Bridges at Jodeco without South Point and the Baker team!

The site selector and broker liked the bold strategy and when Dave & Buster’s decided to expand they looked to Henry County taking a chance on us. Once again the opening was promoted relentlessly while the naysayers denied the building under construction was Dave & Busters.

Since that time:

South Point Retail has developed into an amazing shopping destination after a slow start due to the 2008 recession. South Point is doing very well with Dave & Buster’s, Market by Macy’s. Miyako Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse, Nana’s Chicken & Waffles, BJ’s Wholesale, Miller’s Ale House, Macy’s, Jim N Nicks, Panda Express, Freddie’s, Taco Maco, Panera, Five Guys, Lazy Boy, Rec Warehouse and Culver’s all arriving since we started this page to promote our south metro community.

South Point opened with JC Penney’s, Kohl’s Five Below, Ulta, Academy Sports, Haverty’s , TJ Max, and Room to Go was added. South Point filled out with 3 multifamily resort style apartments enticing the retailers and restaurants to come aboard for developing a walkable community. Working to promote this development was the beginning of the momentum for Henry County. We shared many posts encouraging the new businesses to come to Henry County with 300 to 5000 likes to show we would support them. We also made thousands of locations requests to these businesses to show support.

Reviewing the All Elite Wrestling personnel 2024 Edition (Part 4) -

The Women's Division - It's still untapped in its full potential and is in no way lacking in draws. Tony Khan needs to listen to someone like Britt Baker and do more than make women matches the 'bathroom break' of AEW.

1. Mina Shirakawa - Undoubtably the best thing about the women's division this entire year was the storyline between Toni Storm and Mariah May. Mina was involved at a crucial moment of it whilst having excellent matches with Anna Jay, Serena Deeb, and Toni Storm herself. It's nuts she's not under full-time contract and given a minaful…erm meaningful push. Even Bryan Danielson rates her highly!

2. Kylie Rae - In the effort to once again remove Jericho and Guevara from this company is to bring back the person they got rid of. If Lio Rush can find his weasely way back in why can't she? Funnily enough if you type her name in on YouTube the first thing which pops up is her entrance back in 2019 for AEW. She's still doing well in GCW against Maki Itoh - you know another person AEW should have back?

3. Alex Windsor - British wrestlers are on the rise in AEW as are strong fundamentals from them. Versatility will always triumph over specialist talents and Alex Windsor has arguably the most complete skillset to square off against AEW's best. She's made a few sporadic appearances already yet was never given enough time to showcase it all. Look up her match with Toni Storm a few months ago to glimpse at what could be AEW's best technical bruiser.

4. Robyn & Charlette Renegade - Why they've not joined The Outcasts is beyond me since they look like Saraya's little sisters. Robyn seems to be working more after Charlette got injured back in July but the fact remains both have been learning and getting experience. I think the hard work should be rewarded.

5. Janai Kai - Original look, high energy, and unique wrestler, AEW needs more than the variety of job talents from other promotions to come and go because Janai Kai isn't someone who should be reduced to enhancing half the roster - it should be the opposite and they should enhance her.

6. Lady Frost - Anyone tuning into AEW for the last year has likely run into a match involving her - the overall presentation of her resonates with the fans and whilst some of her high-flying can incur risks I think the balanced reward of a great theme, look, and style more than make up. Fans like her and are waiting for a more full-time showcasing with a genuine push. Underrated.

7. Jasmin Allure - Has she been avoiding AEW? She's grown a lot on the indies since showing up in AEW years back and it has flown under the radar to those who aren't following every talent. Thunder Rosa has personally scouted her out for success and it is high time Thunder Rosa gets more recogniton for her efforts by bringing in her next generation of women.

8. Adriana Gambino - Tailor-made to be in Deonna Purrazzo's new faction. The former Valentina Rossi/Mafiosa has a saucy set of moves and great international appeal. She has great facial expressions and reactions plus the New York crowd might ironically be one of the only reliable markets left for AEW so to tap into it is a smart strategy.

9. Billie Starkz - Wait isn't she in RoH? Yeah and people don't care about her or Athena which is a shame because they're both great though Billie Starkz has a greater upside - put her in the Patriarchy as Mother Wayne's hand-picked choice to 'date' her son Nick Wayne. Still a teenager, Billie Starkz is lightyears ahead of a lot of talent at her age. If people can get behind the progress of a Julia Hart I think they can get behind this lady too.

10. VertVixen - One thing I like about certain talent is their ability to be plugged into any faction or role and also be capable of doing stuff outside the ring and still have an effective appeal. VertVixen could quicktime event MXM or killstreak on Adam Cole before going full retro with The Outrunners. I hope VertVixen gets to return to AEW on a more regular basis.

background :

-- david and alexandra baker were high school sweethearts . they were both born and raised in west orange , nj . they got married in 1996 , and traveled the world a bit . they came back to montclair , new jersey after a few months . her mother was a teacher in one of the elementary schools while her dad worked as banker . the bakers (like their last name) loved baking , but they both had jobs they loved .  –– it wasn’t until 1999 , when mia was born that the bakers decided to change their lives completely . the doctors told alexandra that after the birth of mia , she can’t have any more kids . so they opened up a small boutique bakery in montclair and called it ‘mia’s’. to them, she was their whole world .  –– their bakery was the best one around montclair, causing it to be packed on certain days , but the bakers didn’t mind it . as long as they were able to provide the best of the best for mia , they were happy. –– growing up an only child , she had everything she wanted . she wasn’t that spoiled and she never had the most expensive things , but her parents got her whatever she wanted . she was a quiet kid , never really cried or screamed , was every parent’s dream child . she was extremely smart and did well at school . -- at the age of 12 , everything changed . her dad just got up and left her and her mom . it wasn't until a few years later that she found out her dad was cheating on her mom and had a whole family of his own . this caused her mom to spiral . she was constantly looking for someone to fill in the void david has left . she wanted someone to be a father figure to mia . -- when david left , alexandra blamed herself . she thought she wasn't good enough , she thought she was not pretty enough . maybe she wasn't a good enough of a wife . -- due to all of that , she projected these feelings to mia , telling mia that she always has to look pretty , to put on makeup , to dress nice -- even if she's just going out to the grocery store . -- her mom would go out every night , leaving mia on her own . mia was confused , but her mom told her it's going to change their lives . and it did . it didn't take long before she met her current husband - mia's step father , who was a well known business man all over the US . -- mia's step father was rich , which made alexandra close her bakery , as her new husband was the provider and breadwinner . -- around the age of 14 , mia started exploring the idea of writing , but she never really did anything with her songs as they were about friendships that ended and high school boyfriends that cheated on her ( not really cheated as she was never exclusive with anyone ) . a month after the school year was over , her mom and her moved to beverly hills to live with her step-dad , as he had to move to california . -- mia wasn't really interested in going to college , but she did put some time and money into piano lessons and guitar lessons . she always had a love for music . -- but it was when she met maddox , that she really got into writing . they met when she was 19 , he was truly everything she wanted . he made her feel loved , he gave her all of the attention she needed . until he didn't anymore . one day he just disappeared on her and that broke her completely . she understood why her mom acted the way she did and why she felt the way she did . -- that was when mia really got into writing and put one of her songs online on youtube . the video went viral in less than 24 hours . in 48 hours after the video was posted , she was already signed to a record label . -- however , she left the record label a year after being signed . they didn't really think that the "heartbroken girl" should be her vibe . they thought she should make more poppy-sexy songs rather than talking about her heartbreak . so she decided to leave them , knowing that she would rather put out something she believes in than something that will gain her fame . -- it didn't take her long until she found a new record label , that supported her and let her put out anything she wanted .
