Met Gala 2023 Presented By Me

With this year's theme being "in honor of Karl Lagerfeld", a fashion designer whom I'm learning from the fashion community is "ew", lets see what we got:

~The Models~

-Rihanna being fashionably late, wearing an egg?-like top that opens to reveal a simple yet beautiful dress (she's got a baby bump!); the "no shit" was iconic honestly

-Jared Leto fursuit (its cause he was dressing as Lagerfeld's cat)

-Harvey Guillen coming through with a lovely floral suit, I'm not usually one for light pink but his was very pretty

-Who let Lil Nas X have access to the arts and crafts box (but he looked stunning, the mask was gorgeous and he's got more confidence than most to pull off what I'm now calling a Full Bedazzle)

-Kristen Stewart going full butch queer, the eyebrows and hair were rugged inspired and most didn't like it but I think that was the point?

-Pedro Pascal and his knee against the world (as well as spreading the red is superior agenda cause it is)

-^ but with Salma Hayek cause holy shit this is the red agenda

-Bryan Tyree Henry continuing to remind me how much my taste in men has improved over the years because he is so fucking fine ANYWAY-

-Lizzo giving me feminine gender envy despite the odds

-Janelle Monae doing a Janelle Monae as is customary (I'd love to know what the inspo was for her if so let me know!)

-Bella Ramsey you are so gender thank you (and they served too, the Thom Browne suit with the white accents is simple yet very classy)

-Every year I give one (1) free pass for a man to wear a standard suit, this year goes to Ke Huy Quan because I couldn't say anything bad about him if I tried (at least he had some style, the fingerless gloves were cool)

-Obligatory Gwendoline Christie was there and existed comment by me because I am in love and I am not ashamed of it

-Florence Pugh's fit had mixed reactions, the shaved head, headdress and white dress look were really good but I think the way the dress came out had people not fully digging it, I can understand but I'll appreciate it nonetheless

-Anne Hathaway in all her fuzzy glory (the hair's a beehive on a very felted dress but like it worked? marks for originality and being able to pull it off)

-Loved Stephanie Hsu's bedazzled suit, won't be able to stop thinking about it actually

-Tems was stunning, I'm a huge fan of the floating leaves design we need more nature-inspired looks

-Olivier Rousteing and Jeremy pope slaying with their "Karl who?" and cape apparel

-Gotta shout out Yara Shahidi for going with something unique, the pearl's color palette works surprisingly better than I expected with the gold (personally I would have more gold trim in the top half but that's just me)

-Let Lady Gaga's outfit for the Met Gala this year be a lesson in misinformation because the pictures circulating Tumblr are not in fact from the 2023 Met, she didn't attend (it is a stunning outfit though)

-Jenna Ortega looking almost like a dapper pirate in the absolute best way possible the gender envy the style I am going insane

-Doja Cat living up to her name (Cats should take notes honestly the makeup was really good. She also kept answering reporter questions by meowing. Because she's Doja. Anyway.)

-Anok Yai's dress reminds me of those ornate beaded lampshades, I wonder if that's where she/her designer got the idea

-Emily Blunt giving me gay panic once again WHY IS SHE SO GORGEOUS (she's got a giant fucking bow tie that's what clowns wear why is she able to pull it off this is so unfair)

-Conan Gray looked like an actual prince I am obsessed

-I saw someone said Cardi B was giving goth Barbie and that is honestly the best way to describe it

-Yung Miami having a beautiful look cause her outfit was underrated this year

-I thought Emily Blunt and Bryan Tyree Henry were all I had to worry about and then Julia Garner came in with a steel chair

-Ella Fanning's look captivating me specifically

-And cause I can't comment on every person or we'd be here all day, go check out the underrated outfits from Amanda Seyfried, Alton Mason, Glenn Close, Sora Choi, Ava Max, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi and many more!

~Final Thoughts~

-The palette this year was very black and white... literally. Lots of outfits in black, white, or both. I'm not really into the fashion community so I wouldn't know but I'm guessing its a signature theme of Lagerfeld's? Let me know! I'm always down to learn more about other communities and their history

-I'm also assuming Lagefeld's got a thing for flowers cause there were a lot of flowers imbedded into the outfits, they looked lovely~

-As well as long flowy dress/coat tops cause there were a lot, and I loved how people mixed it in with the flowers. Lots of the men did it this year and it looked fantastic

-Speaking of, I'm proud of the men for actually dressing up this year omfg its insane how many male celebrities will go to a literal fashion event and pull up with nothing but a plain ass suit and though most of them this year did wear suits, there was much pizazz. Like, actual life put into those outfits. So yeah, you love to see it

-Overall, a very nice Met Gala. The crazy stuff came from the usual people who go all out, and we got plenty of highlights from people who embraced the theme, with the occasional unique look to really stick it out

Thank for reading and see you all next fashion event!

Here's my review on the deh movie (spoilers ahead.)

In my honest opinion, the best words that i have to describe how i feel about the movie is that it is better than the in the heights movie. And i say that as someone who has always hated deh and my favorite musical ever is in the heights. The movie isn't perfect but, dare i say i enjoyed it.

I expected it to be super bad because of the white washing, the bad reviews, the story, and Ben Platt existing. And I'm not excusing any of those things (i pirated the movie I'll put the link at the bottom of this post) but I was pleasantly surprised. When you do an adaptation, you're supposed to improve the story to the best of your ability and i think that's what they did here. It wasn't all good though so let me go through the bad.

The bad:

Ben Platt??? Hello??? Honey, we know you can sing. You've got good albums and your performance in the obc was good, so what's going on here? It's such a rare occurrence to get someone from the obc into the movie, AS THE SAME ROLE! Not to mention he was talking so much shit beforehand talk about "I'm the best for the role" this that and the other, so why he didn't put his everything into the movie? It was mainly in the first half of the movie for some reason he was like "let me sing real soft".

As for the thing about his age, it's really not that noticeable imo. I think the hair isn't doing him justice. The hair aged him 60 years for some reason. Tbh i have no opinion on the hair, makeup, and costumes throughout the whole movie. They weren't great, they were boring. There weren't anything really.

... except for Connor Murphy. His design was HORRIBLE! Instead of putting him in all black like how he is in the obc, they decided to go with dark blue? He was wearing like a dark blue blazer, a dark t-shirt, and dark jeans. Like honey what? The fact that he had such a straight boy haircut but then his finger nails were painted black and he had a ring was just. smh.

The acting of everyone in general wasn't good either. Which is weird, because i know these people are good actors 🤔 so what gives? Especially Connor Murphy's acting. It was really bad lol

Waving through a window. There's a lot to unpack here. 1. THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY GIVE DEAR EVAN HANSEN IN OPENING NUMBER AND THEY STILL DIDN'T DO IT. LIKE REALLY? Does anybody have a map was NEVER AN ACTUAL OPENING NUMBER! An opening number is supposed to set up the plot. It's supposed to introduce us to the setting and the characters. Anybody have a map didn't do that and NEITHER DOES waving through a window. Starting the movie with waving through a window doesn't make sense really. Originally, waving through a window happens after Evan has been pushed. It's really dramatic and super cool. It makes sense that it would be there in the story versus starting the movie off like that. SHOW! DON'T! TELL! Originally you show us why Evan is the way he is but in the movie you just tell us that he's really nervous. It's not deserved. Ben Platt is singing super quietly throughout the whole song and when the ensemble is singing they don't look like they're singing. This had me confused throughout the whole entire movie. If people were aware of Evan singing or if they weren't. (This is why having an opening number is so important! You set up the world!) Not to mention that they do that modern shit. They tried to put a modern spin on waving through window just like how there's a modern spin on all the songs in the heights movie. (I hate that shit it sounds horrible.)

The movie felt too serious? There weren't many jokes. Like the opening of the musical is supposed to be a joke but in the movie they don't write it as a joke. (You can also tell how desperately they're trying to cover how old Platt is by just showing his eyes lol.)

Why is Larry the stepdad. I made this complaint when it was revealed to us and it's still a valid one. It didn't further the plot, AT ALL! IT HAD LITERALLY NO EFFECT!

I feel like everyone in this movie should have been gay. Everyone felt gay. Alana with her outfits, Zoe cuffing her jeans, jarred actually being gay and Ben platt's gayness shined though in his performance. And of course, there's Connor.

I think they should have been more dramatic. I'm supposed to believe that Evan is poor but he he lives in a two story house. (I'm not saying poor people can't live in a 2 story house lol I'm just saying). Evan's room in the movie is bigger than mine for Christ sakes. Put the Murphy's in a MC mansion or something ya know? Make there house bigger.

I hate hate HATE how they put an instrumental of good for you and anybody have a map at the beginning of the movie. I hated it when they did that shit in the ith movie, and nothing has changed. It's the worst way to tease a fan, ever.

What I liked:

The movie was different from the musical...but in a good way. I don't hate the changes they made to the original story. To me it feels like it's a whole different vibe. The musical has always been about Evan but I just feel like in the movie they focus more on him. You're not having Jared or Connor getting shoved on your throat every 5 seconds. The original made me feel icky because you were constantly being reminded of how shitty Evan is (as you should) but it wasn't enjoyable. We're raised from a young age to know what's wrong and what's right. And imo, I can never enjoy a piece of media where the story you know something is bad the whole way through. (Uncharted 4 for example). You have to have duality. You have to have a perfect balance of it feeling wrong and right at the same time. And that's how the movie felt for me. The movie was very well made. Cutting the songs that they cut really made all the world of a difference. Imo i really helped (and that's saying something because i LOVE disappear and to break in a glove.) The new songs are good. I significantly like Alana's character more. She came off as annoying in the original but now she's more genuine imo. I absolutely LOVE how they went really slow with the romance between Evan and Zoe. I don't think they even kiss in the movie (which is GREAT! WE STAN NOT MAKING OUT ON YOUR DEAD BROTHER'S BED!) But at the end of if i can tell her we can see Zoe leaning in for a kiss. I liked how they added that. Speaking of things they added, THE ENDING! 👏👏👏 YES SIR. AS THEY SHOULD. It was so cool to see that because one of the main criticisms when it comes to dear Evan Hansen is the fact that he faces no consequences. So for the creators of dear Evan Hansen to take that criticism and actually apply it to the adaptation, is so insanely cool. (It's bare minimum but I've never seen anyone do it before) it's such a better ending to see Evan take responsibility, and to improve as a person. (It was cool to see some elements of the book brought into the movie but at the same time. Where Miguel. Make Connor gay!)

[duman-anon]

I saw your post about the Trix’s outfits and agreed. Although the final outfit bothers me because it’s supposed to be a “disguise” meanwhile it looks exactly like them but different color hair. Especially bad comparing to the old disguises. Anyways, I was wondering if you could rate the other villains outfits as well? Thanks and have a great day!

True, compared to their other disguises there you couldn’t tell it was them, their disguise in season 8 was very weak but I liked the Gen Z vibes. Perhaps it was to tell 8 year old kids “hey, it is Trix in disguise if you didn’t know it!”

But let’s do the other ones too! Rating outfits part 2, even though the other villains has 1 main to go outfit

“Michelle, Michelle, you’re a monster” - 8/10

I personally don’t see Diaspro as a villain BUT Rainbow has portrait her as the bad one for trying to steal Sky back and ruin Sky’s and Bloom’s relationship. But her royal clothes? I love it!! The puffy arm, the red colours and white matching, her hair always on point!

Skinny legend - 7/10

His outfit shows he is a scary dude, I may not talk often about Darkar but I still think he is one of the strongest villains that Winx couldn’t defeat (without Trix help and ruining the place down). It comes off scary with his skeleton showing and not very pleasent feeling. His face is the only hint he is part human.

I’m running to dark side - 10/10

THIS LOOK? DARK BLOOM SLAYED! I love this look too much, I can never get enough of Dark Bloom

Imposter - 5/10

[Avalon vented in Admin]

I liked it that he was a hot teacher but did we ever get to see his true form? I don’t remember. So for stealing someone else face and never reveal his true self, I give him 5. (it was a while ago I saw season 2 okay, I don’t remember if he was Darkars bird or not)

1600 Vampire boyfriend - 8/10

Respect to this man’s outfit. He has a great outfit taste and isn’t afraid to show it. I have never been in to vampires, mostly pirates, but his style will always be iconic, he was the first hot villain for many of us

Goth Band - 11/10

My name is “duman-anon”, I have Duman in my name. Yes ofcourse I would give these the highest points. These are the ones who made me like emos/goths and bad boys.

the sea grass™️ - 2/10

LOOK, Titanus in his human form was acceptable (how he is related to Aisha will forever be mystery to me.) but his fish form? NO. I watched that Oscar Nominated movie Deep Down or something and I don’t dig fish men.

e-girl - 5/10

Basically a witch outfit since she attended Cloudtower but I truly never digged it. It is too much to her outfit, if it had been more simple maybe I would have liked it. They really tried too hard with giving more details to her outfit but ot just ruined it.

tattoo man - 8/10

Not bad, for someone like me who never watched past season 4, I like Acheron. And most of that is because of his outfit. Outfit speaks a lot when you don’t watch the other season. But he gets 8 because without his cloack covering his bald head, he would perhaps be ugly.

I wish I was Jared 19 - -3/10

Congrats to these two, scoring to get -3 points! I don’t like these two at all and that is all because of their outfits. Ew on season 7. Sorry to anyone who liked it.

The Magnus Archives Fancast

Some of these are older than the characters are canonically, things like hair and facial hair styling, outfits and accessories (glasses, etc) are not included.

This is a long post, so I’m adding a read more.

Part 3: Gertrude and selected Avatars

Judi Dench as Gertrude Robinson. (My runner-up was Diana Rigg for this one. Rest in peace, queen)

Andrew Scott as Elias Bouchard. Don’t @ me as a former Superwholock girl. I know. I live with that shame every day.

Charles Dance as Peter Lukas. The third face I had pinned down for this fancast.

Naomi Harris as Annabelle Cane. She really did the creepy well in Pirates of The Caribbean. Also she did a thing on younger me.

Russell Tovey as Michael “the Distortion” Shelley.

(young) Emma Thompson as Helen “the Distortion” Richardson. I think she could totally still do Helen at her current 61 years. But I don’t think Martin would have gotten as jealous in that case.

Doug Jones as Jared “the Boneturner” Hopworth. (Strike 3 on the Hey!-They’re-not-British-list!). Doug just did such an incredible job on Star Trek Discovery, playing Saru, that I think he’d do really well with all the implied twisting of Jared. Doug Jones is a contortionist as well as an actor.

Space Sweepers and the History of Working Class People In Space

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This week saw the release of Space Sweepers, Korea’s first big budget special effects space movie extravaganza. There are a lot of interesting things to say about this movie, but one of the things that makes it stand out is it’s an excellent portrayal of people in space who are skint.

See, I hate to break it to you, but you’re probably never going into space. Unless you’re a highly trained technical specialist (well done!) or a billionaire (pay your taxes!), your best shot at seeing Earth from space within your lifetime is the development of realistic-yet-cheap VR headsets.

And the thing is, a lot of the time this holds up in sci-fi as well. Space travellers are either living in a post-scarcity utopia, are part of the military, or are some kind of genius scientists.

Even where we see supposedly salt-of-the-Earth relatable types, like Han Solo or Mal Reynolds, their scruffy outfits and roguish ways can’t quite cover for the fact that they own and live in the equivalent of a massive luxury yacht or private plane. Serenity may look like a rust bucket, but it’s far from the equivalent of a white van, and while Mal is constantly complaining about the costs of fuel and repairs, that doesn’t change the fact that he seems to own the ship outright, and in “Oxygen” he appears ready to buy the ship for cash.

As for Han Solo, leaving for a moment his humble origins and that he won the ship in a card game, within the Galaxy Far Far Away the ratio of space travellers to non-space travellers doesn’t seem that different from the one on Earth. Yes, there are lots of smugglers and Tie-fighter pilots and interplanetary bounty hunters, but for every one of them there are millions of Tusken sand raiders, Jawa scrap merchants, moisture farmers and Corellian street rats. Spacecraft might come and go from the spires of Coruscant as regularly as buses, but the population density is such that most people on that planet will be lucky to see sunlight, let alone the stars.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the chances of an ordinary person getting into space even in the foreseeable future vary between Willy Wonka Golden ticket level lucky, or truly dystopian. On the one hand, Elon Musk has announced the first all-civilian mission to space, led by billionaire Jared Isaacman (so, not what you’d call an everyman), two seats given to people who have won a place by donating to St Jude’s Hospital (it probably won’t be one of the smaller donors), and finally, one lucky front-line health worker.

But Elon Musk wants to colonise Mars, and sadly billionaires still need people to clean the toilets, so Musk has other ideas for how ordinary people might get into space. Unfortunately that idea is indentured slavery, demonstrating that the most prescient science fiction writers of our generation are the writers of first-person shooters.

This is why, outside of post-scarcity-fully-automated-luxury-space-communism, and the military, science fiction is always oddly quiet about money. With a few honourable exceptions.

We Just Work Here

The first and most obvious reason why any ordinary working-class person would end up in space is “they’re paid to”.

Pretty much the codifier of working-class people in space is Alien. The crew of Nostromo aren’t scientists, they’ve not got The Right Stuff. Nobody on that ship is getting a high school named after them. The crew of the Nostromo are basically truck drivers who venture off the highway and run into something nasty. Yes, ironically they show a great deal more competence, professionalism and intelligence in encountering an alien threat than the actual scientists in the prequel movie, but the first conversation these characters have when they come out of hyper sleep is about money. From the outset, these are people in a place of work.

It’s a model that set the format for gritty-industrial-working-class-people in space movies going forward for better or worse. Event Horizon just lifts Alien’s aesthetic completely for the rescue ship Lewis & Clark, as does the videogame series Dead Space, like Alien, set aboard a mining ship.

Away from the horror genre, Outland sees Sean Connery play sheriff in a final frontier mining town that could have taken place in the same world as Alien.

And of course, Red Dwarf, which not only made good use of the Alien aesthetic, but also cast the colony commander from Aliens as their Captain, to tell the story of chicken soup repairmen in space.

Across all of these stories, and of course the aforementioned videogames, the life of the blue collar space traveller is an unpleasant one, exploited by a company that not only controls your life while you work, but also owns all of your food, water and air. Indeed, it’s not rare for them to go further. In Moon, another film where the spacemen-to-earthmen ratio seems not far what it is now, Sam Bell’s employer decides to save the cost of training employees and ferrying them back and forth from Earth to the Moon by taking one employee and filling a cellar full of his pre-programmed, short-lived disposable clones.

Space Sweepers

Public Transport

But maybe you don’t want to work for “the Man”, not an unwise call given the Man is probably trying to feed you to something horrible in the hope of creating a new bioweapon. One surprisingly under-utilised method of getting into space is public transport.

In The Fifth Element, Bruce Willis plays a special-forces-operative-turned-cab-driver who, as part of his cover, wins a ticket to go on a space cruise. Although looking at the sets and the extras in this movie, as well as the packed-in-as-tightly-as-we-can apartments back on Earth, one gets the impression this is not an option open to the majority of working joes.

Perhaps the best example of this is in the shockingly under-loved 2018 flick, Prospect, featuring future Mandalorian Pedro Pascal.

In Prospect, the spaceship is little more than a rotating framework filled with cargo containers in front of a massive engine. The father and daughter prospecting team are on board a lander that resembles nothing so much as an old Apollo Lunar Lander on the inside, and as the mothership approaches their destination the ship doesn’t even stop, it just releases the lander, tells them when the ship is going to be passing back that way and warns them the line is being terminated, so there won’t be another ship passing that way.

This is a model it would be fantastic to see more of. The landing module is small enough that it’s entirely plausible that even these not-very-well-off characters could buy, hire or rent one. Rather than having the freedom of the space ways like Mal or Han, their travel options are entirely restricted by what destinations are profitable for large shipping companies and whether they’ll let you tag along. And while on the surface the aesthetic looks a bit Alien, in truth it feels far more like it’s cobbled together from relics of the actual space age.

Borrow Your Way Into Space

And finally, of course, there’s the Elon Musk solution. Borrow your way into space. One of the early places to use this idea was Gateway, by Frederik Pohl. Frederik Pohl in particular is fantastic at writing science fiction worlds where people actually have to worry about money. In Gateway and its sequels humanity has discovered Ancient Aliens left a space station nearby, stocked with a lot of spaceships. Being alien technology, humans can’t control the ships accurately, they’re limited pretty much to pressing the “Stop” and “Go” buttons, and when the ship flies off it might land on a world of fabulous riches, or it might chuck you into the heart of a star.

Prospectors who want to try their luck in these ships have to take out a loan to get to the station, and throughout the novel the protagonist is constantly aware of how many credits are in his account.

Which brings us back around to Space Sweepers. At first glance the Space Sweepers set-up might seem similar to that of the Millennium Falcon or Serenity – an extremely “used” looking ship run by a rag-tag bunch of misfits. But the first time we see the protagonist, Tae-ho, he’s in a pawn shop. As soon as he gets back to the ship we learn the crew are still paying off the cost of the ship, as well as the costs of repairs and parts.

We see an awful lot of “Space sweepers” throughout the film, junk collectors gathering up salvage from Earth’s orbiting collection of derelict spacecraft and defunct satellites. But these people don’t seem like roguish space pirates, the impression they give is more akin to app-based gig workers.

This is compounded by another issue – that to work in space you need a visa, with citizenship limited to the wealthy few who are able to afford a place on the deluxe orbiting space habitats.

Everything in Space Sweepers is driven by money, whether it’s Tao-Ho’s attempts to raise enough money to find his daughter, the robot, Bubs, and her attempt to get a humanoid body that reflects her gender, and of course, the $2 million reward for “Dorothy” which drives the whole plot.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Often space-based sci-fi is about the fantasy of freedom, of exploration. Even shows like Star Trek give us characters whose job isn’t much more than to fly around having adventures. But there is rich storytelling to be done about the people who have to clean the space toilets.

Chris Farnell’s novella series, Fermi’s Progress, is about a ship whose FTL drive vaporises planets, and features at least one space traveller who isn’t a scientist, super soldier or billionaire (although to be fair the other three characters are exactly that). You can find part one here.

And that concludes Pleasantview-Widespot-SSU fall 2

I just wanted to leave you some notes around what happened this season and the year before ;)

Beare Family: Allegra was first trimester pregnant when the season started and the two of them welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Maya into their lives. Also their lot (it’s the former Dreamer home) experiences a weird bug where there would always be a light snow outside even on warm days. I hope that bug vanishes once it starts snowing in winter.

Burb Family: John and Jennifer aged up into Elders this fall. Jennifer has an affair going on with her co-worker Jared Starchild, but she hasn’t met him this season.

Caliente Family: Don and Nina are climbing their careers. Their daughter Ariana grew up into a child. As an explanation: Nothing of this really was planned. I didn’t want them to become a classic married couple with 1,5 children, a picked fence and a dog. It was all their own doing. Don and Nina both rolled a want to get married during a date. And guess what? After getting engaged they went straight for the next sofa and tried for a baby. I was freaking out when I heard chimes. During Don’s next round I quickly fulfilled his first LTW to woohoo 10 sims so he could get married to Nina the next season. And they did. In their wedding night Don was abducted by Aliens because he needed a logic point for his career and somebody thought it was a good idea to buy the expensive telescope... So I relocated them to a bigger lot and here they are...

Dreamer Family: I know DarrenxCassy gets a lot of hate, but I like them together. They are a very rounded couple in my game and were blessed with an other son, Damian this season. That’s they last child, as Cassy is growing old next season.

Goth Family: Ever since Frida was born, Mortimer and Dina were constantly trying to try for an other baby but I always canceled the interaction. Morty wasn’t getting any younger and I have a one elixir of life per sim-rule and he drank the rest of his in summer. But somehow sims always do what they want and Dina got pregnant through risky wohoo... great... Now they had a son called Moss and Morty died the same evening his son was born. At least he was able to meet his youngest child before death and he was surrounded by family (he also died in platinum aspiration).

Nova Family: Tiffany and Castor are constantly trying for a baby but so far no chimes. I’m not sad about it, since those two are really broke af. Luckily Tiff finally found a job in the medical field. But Castor is still on the search. They won’t get married until Tiff is either pregnant or Castor has a job.

Oldie Family: I skipped playing Herb this season. He’s waiting for Ivy and Orlando to graduate.

Pleasant Family 1: Guess what? Kaylynn got herself abducted this season and since I’ve got a mod that allows female alien pregnancy she gave birth to a little alien boy I called Parker. When Daniel found out that Kay was pregnant again, he retired. He really tries to be a better dad to his sons and helps Leonardo, who is struggling with school, with his homework a lot.

Pleasant Family 2: That’s such a funky household, it’s so much fun to play! Candy has a little bakery she tends on her days off at the restaurant. Val and MS are the cutest couple ever, but have never woohooed! I like that little detail about them. Stone grew into a teen and he’s now a Romance/Fortune sim (after both his grandpas). His LTW is to be a space pirate.

Starchild Family: Heather started off 1st trimester pregnant and gave birth to a little boy during the round - Alonso. Sam and Ty are eagerly trying for a baby too, but no luck so far. They took in the last crops of the year and gave a lot of their crops away to friends. They all are quick to climb the career ladder.

Traveller Family: Nothing interesting happened this season tbh... Laurie really wasn’t planned, again risky wohoo stroke but I’m super glad to have her, she has the cutest little face ever!

Upsnott Family: Those two really are driving me nuts! They are broke as hell and can’t find a proper job. I didn’t like Brit getting pregnant so soon, I couldn’t throw them a wedding party since they had literally no money for the wedding arch. They could merely afford the crib for their baby! And then... they had twins *face palm*. Yeah, a girl and a boy called Matías and María José. I have no idea why the name generator dropped two Spanish names. Luckily at least Josh found a job in the criminal career and can now support his family. The twins also grew into toddlers and they look so cute (broken face template...)

Beech Household: It’s really difficult managing so many students, but they all are doing pretty well. The love triangle between Virginia, Woody and Goldie seems to be interrupted by River, who really has the hots for Ginny. She still has higher chemistry with Woody, but Woody prefers Goldie. Goldie, Ginny and Scot graduated the last day of fall. While Ginny moved back in with her parents and Scot moved in with his boyfriend, Goldie temporarily moved back in with her older brother. But she’ll eventually move in with Woody.

Bright Household: Everything’s good here. I always wanted Lucy and Lilith to be close but in fact... she’s closer with Dirk... Lilith graduated the last day of fall and moved back in with her mother. I’m super exited what happens when she meets Ashley Pitts (knowing their chemistry they share in @katatty’s game...).

Freshman Household: Dixie threw herself a graduation party on the first day of fall and moved in with her fiance. Angela graduated mid-season and moved into the old Broke-Trailer on her own where she’s waiting for Dustin to graduate. Tina and Isaiah have a little something going on, they already did so as teens (they are best friends since their childhood) but neither of them is really for settling down and exclusivity.

Land Household: Alex and Delta met at Lucy Burb’s farewell party and they had such a great chemistry that I had to make something out of it. And of course they savaged each other first things after moving in together. Don’t know where it’ll lead, they just had their first real date but I’m excited.

Oldie Household: They are not so interesting to play as they are very studious and don’t have much contact to the outside. I tried to give Orlando a bit of an NB story and his outfits change between male and female each season.

Beech Family: Daytona has used the last bit of elixir of life so she passed away this season. Sandy has a small clothing store in Widespot that is a lot of fun to play. Hamilton is almost top of his career. Grey grew into a teenager and he’s a Pleasure/Romance sim. That’s gonna be some fun!

Gavigan Family: Such a cute family. But they are a lot like the Travellers, not much is going on for them except for careers and kids. It’s so funny that some families just get one gender as kids. I know a lot of families in real life that are the same!

Hart Family: Penny and Rhett have a really good relationship but both tend to stray sometimes (Penny once had an affair with Don Lothario (of course)). Snow is Skye 2.0. I gave him an alien eye heterochromia, since he’s got nothing from Penny’s alien heritage and I thought that was pretty sad... Rhett and Penny both grew into elders and Rhett topped his career fulfilling his LTW. His new LTW would be to become a professional Party Guest, but I guess that’s not gonna happen. Snow then grew into a teen, becoming a Knowledge/Romance Sim (after his grandpas).

Land Family: I skipped playing Beulah for the same reason I skipped Herb Oldie. At least River is gonna move back in with her after university.

Mann Family: This is such a hectic household... I struggled with getting Rich into golden aspiration so he could have some of the elixir of life, he really needs it. And guess what? I laughed so hard when that fourth baby of Mary was also a girl. But they called her Lana after the decreased grandmother she’ll never meet and Rich is super caring. I’m totally surprised, that he’s such a caring grandfather to all of the girls but he always tucks them in and plays with them. Oh! And of course Ira grew into a teen! She’s now a Pleasure/Family sim.

Roseland Family: Arg, this family has really grown on my heart. I always love Brandi and her kids and I struggle so much finding a perfect partner for her. But when she met Cyd over a mutual friend they had perfect chemistry. Sadly they didn’t get along at first but soon it clicked and now they are joined at their hips. They shouldn’t have had Ella, their calculated amount of kids was three but I just couldn’t deny the mutual have a baby want... Beau will go to college next season and Skip grew up into a teen being Romance/Family like his big bro.

Stacks Family: Those two are constantly trying for a baby, ever since Martin came from College. But somehow Jane isn’t as fertile as I’d expect from a Family sim. On the last day there were finally chimes! Selina is... something. She has a really sharp face, I think because of Martin’s broke face. Her cheekbones could cut through glass!

Swain Family: Dixie moved in with Erik and Jimmy on the second day of fall and they had a wonderful wedding party two days later. Jimmy takes Scot for dates every second day and Scot has rolled a want to get engaged (of course). Erik has a locked want to have a baby, but Dixie wants to find a job first.

I Know Your Wife (She Wouldn’t Mind) - Part Forty-Five

Summary: After sharing your story with the public, you’re surprised by the overwhelmingly positive response. Your daughter’s first birthday reminds you how much you have changed since joining Supernatural. Words: 2.3k Jared x Reader x Gen, Jensen, Danneel, Tom, Shep, JJ, Arrow, Zeppelin, Dallas (OC) Warnings: none Beta: @blacksiren​

I Know Your Wife - Masterpost

Your name: submit What is this?

The video of your speech went viral. Your story was shared across the continent, everything that you’d kept secret for so long was now common knowledge, and surprisingly the response had been overwhelmingly positive.

Blogs that had previously been less than complimentary had suddenly come out in full support of you and your work. SAFE Austin had received an influx of donations, meaning that they were able to start planning for a new safehouse for women and families that they didn’t think would be possible for at least another year.

You couldn’t believe the response that you had received, your Represent campaign having sold well over the target amount within the first week, and the support from your friends, castmates, and family was limitless.

Your daughter was growing up fast, and you had agreed with the writers and producers that Trinity taking a backseat in the next season was for the best for your family along with the plot of the show; allowing your episode count to be cut meant that you could travel back to Texas more frequently, giving Dallas more time with her siblings as she grew, while still spending time with her father when you were working.

You had been back at work for almost a month by the time Dallas’ birthday came around, and Danneel and Gen brought the rest of your family up to Vancouver a few days beforehand.

You followed behind Clif to pick them up, having finally passed your test over summer, making the journey back from the airport very entertaining.

“Can Dally walk on her own yet?” JJ asked you from the back seat, your daughter strapped in happily beside her.

“Not quite yet,” you told her, causing Genevieve to laugh from the passenger seat.

“Birdie, we saw Dal a couple weeks ago, this stuff takes time,” she reminded her. “She’s still little.”

“She’s nearly one,” Tom informed you both, letting his sister grab at his fingers; Danneel and the other kids were travelling back with Clif.

“She’s getting a lot better at walking with help,” you allowed. “She’ll get there.”

“Course she will,” Gen agreed. “Can’t wait to give her a big hug at home.”

“Me first!” JJ cut in, earning a grunt of disapproval from Tom.

“Nuh-uh,” he argued. “I get first hugs, she’s my sissy.”

“Alright, no arguing,” you chided. “When we get home it will be nap time for Dallas and the twins, then we can all have cuddles.”

The kids both grumbled as Dallas let out a big yawn between them.

“Deal?” you asked, and Tom and JJ reluctantly agreed.

Genevieve looked across at you as you puffed out a breath.

“Think I forgot what it was like having multiple children,” you joked, signalling onto your block. “At this rate it’ll be nap time for me, too.”

“For all of us,” Gen agreed, looking out the window.

*****

You couldn’t quite believe that your daughter, your baby girl, was turning one.

You had been a mother for an entire year and you were almost unrecognisable from the woman you were before. Not physically, of course, though your body was still not quite the same as it had been pre-Dallas; it was as if something had been missing for your whole life and having Dallas had taken that feeling away and replaced it with love and strength.

The morning of her birthday, you were changing Dallas’ diaper in the nursery when Gen knocked on the open door, her hair still damp from her shower.

“Come in,” you smiled, securing the new diaper and kissing your daughter’s bare stomach.

Gen walked over to the two of you, smiling down at Dallas as she reached for her.

“Ba,” your daughter gurgled. “Baba.”

“That’s right, Bambina,” Gen grinned, picking her up and kissing her cheeks. “Happy birthday, my angel.”

Your daughter laughed, clapping her hands together.

“Alright, you’re the favourite,” you told Gen, kissing her lightly and ruffling Dallas’ hair. “That means you can have the honour of dressing the birthday girl while mama takes a shower.”

“I’ll take her down when she’s dressed so you can dry your hair,” she offered, and you nodded.

“Sounds good,” you smiled. “Gonna check on the others first.”

Gen put your daughter in her crib as you left the room, knocking on the kids’ door before letting yourself in.

Danneel was in there with all of the other kids, looking rather dishevelled and smiling at you with tired eyes.

“How’s it going, Mama?” you asked, and she laughed softly.

“Ditto!” Zep shouted, grinning from her lap.

“Good morning,” you smiled, noticing that JJ was still in pyjamas and looking back to Danneel.

“I was supposed to put her in the bath this morning,” she reasoned, “But I’ve kinda got my hands full.”

You nodded, knowing Jared and Jensen were out getting things for Dallas’ birthday and not around to help.

“I’m about to have a shower,” you told her, looking down at JJ again. “Tex can come with, if she wants?”

She got to her feet instantly, stepping around Tom and Shep to take your hand.

“You sure?” Danneel asked, looking hopeful.

“Of course,” you confirmed. “Gotta get us nice and fresh for Dal’s birthday.”

“Alright, my girls,” she smiled, gratefully. “Be good for Y/N.”

“I will, Mama,” JJ promised, dragging you through into the hallway and towards the bathroom.

*****

Jared and Jensen had been granted the day off for Dallas’ birthday, meaning all of you could spend the day as a big family. Of course, your daughter was too young to properly understand what was going on, but spending the time with all of the kids together was important to you. The boys interacting with their sister was something you would never get bored of, and Dallas being around the twins was good for her development, your daughter trying her hardest to keep up despite being nine months younger.

Bailey was revelling in the attention that naturally came along with everyone visiting, the noise of six children in the house obviously not bothering her, and she was as patient as always with each of them whenever they wanted to play.

The day was filled with Disney movies, sweet treats, and laughter. For once, the entire day passed with no tantrums from anyone, and your love for your family was reinforced tenfold.

Come evening, you were sat with Dallas asleep against your chest, the rest of the children already in bed.

“Can’t believe I’ve been a mom for a year,” you murmured for what must have been the fifth time that day.

“Time flies when you’re constantly tired,” Danneel teased, and you laughed as you stroked your daughter’s hair.

You were all in the front room, just relaxing in the peaceful quiet after the hectic day. It was nice, for once, to just sit in the content silence of each other’s company.

“A couple years ago,” you began, talking quietly and looking down at Dallas, “I wouldn’t have believed it that I would ever be a mother, let alone so fast. I didn’t want kids at all.”

Jared smiled sadly, turning his head to place a kiss to your temple.

“Then I met y’all,” you smiled, looking across at where Danneel was sat across Jensen’s lap in your armchair. “And I instantly fell pregnant because none of us know how to keep it in our pants.”

“Dits, kiddo,” Jensen chastised. “No bedroom talk around your parents.”

You laughed again, nodding in agreement.

“Yeah,” you sighed. “But seriously, meeting you all, becoming part of your family… saying it’s changed my life is an understatement. You’ve taught me how to be a parent.”

Danneel smiled, nodding.

“You’ve taught us stuff, too,” she told you. “Showed us that all we need to do to get JJ to calm down in any situation is to show her videos of you.”

“I, for one, have been taught a whole lot about sharks,” Gen added, and you grinned.

“Yeah, I ramble,” you admitted. “Just wanna thank you all for being so patient and kind. I know I’m difficult, and all my baggage… it’s not easy to deal with, but this family makes it a lot less painful.”

“You’ve been family since you joined the cast,” Jensen assured you, “You know that, right? Before the relationship, before the adoption.”

“I know,” you smiled, feeling Dallas shift against you and deciding it was time to put her into bed. “Come kiss the birthday girl goodnight.”

You got to your feet as they all did just that, taking it in turns to say goodnight to your already sleeping daughter.

You made your way upstairs, humming a lullaby as you changed Dallas into her pyjamas, the excitement of the day having warn her out enough for her not to wake up throughout the whole process.

“Goodnight, my grown up girl,” you whispered, kissing her once more as you placed her down in her crib. “Sleep well.”

*****

Your 22nd birthday was spent in Austin, helping out at the brewery’s Halloween event during the day. You were working behind the bar, your favourite place to be while you were there, enjoying serving the customers and chatting to the rest of the staff. Within the Family Business team, every single employee you had come across were just as passionate about the business as your parents and uncle were. They all clearly loved their job, and their enjoyment was infectious whenever you were working there.

You left early, taking JJ and the twins back with you to the Padaleckis so you could all get dressed up for trick or treating with the boys.

Your costume was considerably more conservative than the skimpy cowgirl of the previous year. This year, you were dressed as Mother Gothel, with JJ as your Rapunzel and Dallas looking extremely cute in her Pascal outfit. Arrow and Zep were absolutely adorable in their little cowboy boots as Woody and Jessie, Jared joining the Toy Story theme as Andy, while Genevieve and the boys opted to be a band of pirates for the evening. Jensen and Danneel were able to have a quiet date night as you looked after the kids, giving them a chance to properly spend time together without worrying about their family, knowing that the children were well entertained and looked after. They’d argued, at first, that it should have been you, Jared, and Gen that got the night off, but you had assured them that there’s no better birthday gift than spending the night with your children and siblings.

Seeing JJ so patiently helping Dallas to walk from door to door was the highlight of your day. She had so much love for your daughter, and it warmed your heart as she slowly held her hand and took small steps so that Dallas could keep up. After a while, Tom took her other hand, your daughter a much more confident walker when she had support from both sides.

“She doesn’t even need us anymore,” you quietly complained to Jared as you walked behind with the twins. “Practically an adult already.”

“She’s such a mama’s girl,” he reminded you, ignoring your whining. “She’s never gonna stop needing you.”

You smiled, watching on as they continued to walk ahead of you, down the driveway towards the next house. You knew that he was right.

After growing up the way you had, with such a terrible relationship with your birth mother, you had been worried that your daughter might not form a connection with you. You couldn’t have been more wrong. Your relationship with your daughter was so strong, her love for your family so obvious even though she did not yet have the vocabulary to express it.

“Mama Y/N?” Shep asked, looking back at you.

“Yes, my love?” you smiled.

“Is this a good birthday?” he enquired, making you laugh softly.

“Sheppy, this is the best birthday,” you promised him, picking Arrow up onto your hip when she tugged at your hand. “Thank you for spending it with me.”

*****

Christmas and New Year were spent much like the year before, this time all of you agreeing not to even try to split you and JJ up on Christmas Eve night.

Dallas was a whole lot more interested in the hanging of the stockings this year, toddling over to Jensen to take hers from him when he said her name. You helped her place it next to yours above the fireplace, picking her up and kissing her cheek as you moved to sit back on the couch.

“Mama,” she giggled as you continued to kiss her face. “Mama.”

“Mama just loves you, baby,” you answered, smoothing her hair down.

“Dally happy,” Zep told you, wisely, making you laugh.

“She is, it’s Christmas.”

“Tomorrow,” Arrow corrected, making you look at Jensen in exasperation.

“These kids are too smart,” you complained. “Correcting me at two years old.”

“Ackles girls are th’ smartest,” JJ told you, getting to her feet and reaching for Dallas. “Can we go help with cookies again, please? Tom and Shep are gonna finish ‘em all.”

“Course,” you smiled, letting the pair walk ahead as you leant across to kiss Jensen’s cheek. “Happy Christmas, Grandpa.”

He scoffed, fondly pushing you away.

You’d caught him calling himself ‘Grandpa’ to your daughter when he woke her from a nap back in Vancouver, and you still hadn’t let him forget it. After all his talk about wanting to be ‘Cool Uncle Jay’ and refusing to admit that Dallas was, in act, his granddaughter, it had taken him less than a year to give in to his title of grandparent.

“Don’t make fun of me for loving my girls,” he requested as you started to leave the room.

“I wouldn’t dream of it,” you told him, turning to face him with a glint in your eye as you pulled the door closed. “Grandpa.”

Tell me what you think!

[letscuttothefeeling]

season three episode three

Let me start off by congratulating the producers – not you Ish – on this great episode. I finally feel like we’re back to THE SHOW. Not a weird Bachelor spin-off with minimal drama and blatantly horrible editing (see: Juliette’s grad party scene, where Chloe’s nails change color DURING THE PARTY.) Nope, we’re done with that and back to the good stuff, so on that note, let’s cut to the feeling.

Come ON MTV it’s like you weren’t even trying. And yes, I created this, and no, I don’t have a life.

I know I’m going to like an episode when it starts off with the angelic sounds of my lord and savior, Ariana Grande. As break up with ur girlfriend, i’m bored plays, we zoom into Cara’s house. Personally, I’m hoping to see Victoria. Alas – it’s just Cara…and Garrett. God, Garrett STOP. Your ex-girlfriend has already outlined exactly how Cara is using you – since she did the exact same thing - and you’re still asking Cara on dates? This is so cringe. Where’s Victoria?!

Even though Garrett can’t score a date, Brandon can! Maybe instead of asking Cara to go look at babies, you should ask her to rollerblade, G Baby. As Amanda and Brandon glide around the Key, we learn that Brandon is celebrating his 24th birthday on Friday! And it’s “24, Like, Karat Gold Slash, Like, Pirate, Sort Of” themed, of course! He debates whether or not to invite Juliette while giving us viewers amazing helmet safety tips. Meanwhile, after Cara has removed G Baby from her property, she makes her way to Chloe’s to checkuppé on her. This is where we learn that Chloe has officially called the cops and filed a police report. I have a lot of opinions, but more on this later.

Okay, something I haven’t touched on because I wish it wasn’t happening I haven’t had time is that Kelsey and Jared have sparked a little romance. If you don’t remember, while Kelsey was dating her random LA boyfriend, Jared was the 86th person she cheated on him with. I see this going well! I mean, it always works out when you leave someone you cheated on for the person you cheated with. Right? Plus, there’s Twisted Tea and mudding involved, so Kelsey can rest assured she’ll be going on sophisticated and expensive dates instead of the shitty and poor dates that Garrett used to take her on.

FINALLY, the C + V scene I need and deserve. Donning a black one-piece that contrasts perfectly with her frozen fruity pink drink, Victoria is effortlessly exuding two polar opposite, chaotic energies. I’m getting “sassy”, but I’m also getting “I’ll fuck you up if you insult my 90’s Quiksilver skater shoes.” AKA, I’m getting Avril during the Girlfriend era. And I love it. As she floats next to Cara in the pool and shockingly proclaims that she’s not into guys, (what?!) I’m on my knees praying to God himself that she become a main cast member vis-à-vis a relationship with Cara. It’s Victoria’s show, and we’re all just living in it, baby. After Cara’s bizarre comment about how her parents punish her by locking her in their wine cellar (weird flex, but okay) Victoria giggles about how dumb Garrett is and we move on.

We leave C and V for a Madisson and Kelsey reunion, but it’s not a happy one. Madisson delivers the unfortunate news that Chloe may be pressing charges. Oh no! I would be really upset by this, but I can’t focus on the content of Madisson’s words because of how she’s delivering them. Madisson, we fully understand that you’ve been to an acting class in LA because you won’t shuttupé about it, so you can stop over-enunciating everything that comes out of your mouth. Thanks!

After Kelsey tells Juliette about her impending stint in Florida prison, she gets understandably upset. Luckily, Boring Robby is there to teach Juliette how to apologize. Don’t say he never did anything for her! I want to point out that Kelsey truly has been redeeming herself this season. She’s been pretty level headed and a very good friend. If only Boring Robby could do the same… Later in the day, Kelsey confronts Robby about another thing Madisson spilled during their meetup. Apparently, while Juliette was fighting everyone last week, Boring Robby had the audacity to applaud her! How gauche. Boring Robby vehemently denies these claims, saying, “Always take the high road, because the low road is way too crowded,” and, “Silence is the best way to react to a fool, and happiness is the best revenge.” First of all, stop lying about things that were FILMED on national television. You’re now Boring Robby: The Liar. Second of all, why are you the human embodiment of my ninth grade Pinterest quotes board?

Grab your pillows and sleeping bags because we are heading to a SLUMBER PARTY! But before anyone can start braiding each other’s hair, Chloe begins to stir the pot, yet again. She delights in bringing up Brandon and Amanda’s new relationship right in front of Madisson. But to distract from the awkwardness, Amanda changes the subject to her missing phone. After the fight, she lost her phone and no one has been able to find it. She starts to give us a play-by-play analysis of why and how she thinks Boring Robby: The Liar stole it. I’m sorry, am I watching Joe Goldberg on You, or am I watching Amanda on Siesta Key? 

It’s the day of the BG’s bday, and I’m so excited to see everyone’s 24 Karat Gold Slash Like Pirate themed outfits! They don’t disappoint - G Baby and Victoria are even matching!! I’ve never screamed so loudly in my life. Garrett obviously refuses to drink, and we’re off to the party. But first, there’s one guest who needs to arrive.

As Alex descends from his family’s PJ strapped with Louis luggage, a BEER, and fresh digs straight from the Siesta Key mall, I can feel the blood coming back into my body. I can feel individual atoms multiplying. I can feel my soul re-entering my empty, hollow frame. I feel exactly like Bella in the fourth Twilight novel, Breaking Dawn. After her half-human, half-vampire baby has eaten its way out of her uterine lining, Edward is forced to do the unthinkable: steal Bella’s mortal soul by turning her into a vampire so she has a shot to survive. (It’s the second time in the series that vampire Edward is forced to resist sucking all of Bella’s enticing blood to save her – that’s true love.) As she starts to respond to his venom, each and every one of her cells begins to freeze over and restore life to her body. Suddenly, she is awake. Her vision is sharp, her mind is clear, and she’s never looked better. And that’s EXACTLY how I felt as Alex exited his plane.

I expect nothing less than for Alex to arrive at BG’s party with three underage Ukrainian mail-order brides. And he doesn’t disappoint. Unfortunately for the brides, he immediately begins discussing relationships with Cara. It’s fun to see Cara pride herself in not cheating on people for the past year. I kind of feel like that should be a given, but okay. As they’re undressing each other with their eyes talking, Garrett is having an interesting convo of his own. Classic Chloe starts stirring the pot AGAIN by telling Garrett that Cara is using him. Really Chloe? Cara is supposed to be your best friend. What’s more shocking is that VICTORIA starts to betray Cara as well. This causes an immediate fight between Carrett. They leave the party and start screaming at each other in the jungle. I’m so enraptured by the fight that I momentarily forget they’re at a themed party and fixate on Garrett’s outfit. Why am I watching Garrett Miller scream in a jungle dressed as a pirate? Oh, right. Anyways.

Even though Cara and G Baby are scream fighting, the party continues to rage on. And everyone is makingoutté. Kelsey and Jared, Amanda and Brandon... something is in the air! It must be the pirate theme. #LetsGetScurvy. But one person isn’t feeling the love – Madisson. With Dad gone, she has no one to kish. Clearly bothered by watching her friend and ex-boyfriend eat each other’s faces, Madisson decides to give Brandon the sad news that Amanda is using him. Whether or not she is, Madisson has no right to give her opinion on the matter. And BG says exactly that. Good for him! Another person surprisingly not making out with someone is Alex. He’s too busy being an asshole to Kelsey and telling anyone who will listen that Boring Robby is bad news. Probably true, but literally no one can be worse than he is, except maybe Pauly Paul. In other news, WHERE IS PAUL.

Unfortunately, the next scene doesn’t involve Pauly or Victoria – just Chloe and Juliette. Juliette shows up after Chloe gets out of work to hopefully avoid jailtime hash things out. Now strap in because I’m about to explain exactly where I stand with the Chloe/Juliette drama, and if you aren’t completely focused, please take a 10mg Adderall, wait ten minutes, and check back in.

Okay, hopefully, you’ve taken amphetamines and can really dial in. Here goes: I realize that Chloe is a necessary evil - it’s an indisputable fact that there would be no show without her antics. No one is as shameless when it comes to talking shit and completely ruining their friendships for the sake of television. And for that, I deeply respect Chloe. (I realize that sounds sarcastic but I am dead serious. Thank you for taking one for the team, Chloe.) But I simply cannot stand when she gets what’s coming to her then plays the innocent victim. Obviously, violence is not cool, and Juliette should be embarrassed by her behavior. But Chloe knew exactly what the outcome of that conversation would be. She was banking on a wasted Juliette reacting horribly. With Chloe, you simply cannot win. Earlier in this episode, Chloe verbatim says to Madisson and Cara, “If the roles were reversed, I would have shown up at her house, apologizing.”

Now cut to this scene, where Chloe verbatim says to Juliette (after Juliette shows up at her workplace) “I really don’t know why you’re here, so if you can please leave and leave me alone.”

Juliette said it best herself – “Chloe is my best friend when I’m miserable. When I’m actually thriving…this type of stuff happens.” Let’s take a moment to analyze the similarities and differences of how Chloe and the rest of the cast handled Chloe’s altercation with Amanda during season one, in which Amanda broke Chloe’s nose and sent her to surgery. After sending Chloe to the hospital, Amanda justifies her actions by saying that Chloe started it first. So everyone is okay with Amanda decking Chloe. The fact is, Chloe started it first here, too. Chloe swatted at Juliette’s hand first. So why did everyone grab coffee with Amanda, but ostracize Juliette? Amanda even had a sit-down conversation with Chloe after her surgery expecting Chloe to apologize. The inconsistencies and hypocrisy present…I CANNOT.

Chloe acts like everyone’s best friend to stay relevant and betrays them the second it benefits her. While I do agree that Juliette is only apologizing because she’s scared Chloe will press charges, I think people who talk shit, unfortunately, get hit, on occasion. Until next week!

With the third installment in, what is to date, the best Disney Channel Original Movie franchise with the first movie’s premier night surpassing High School Musical’s opening, coming to our screens this Summer. it is obvious we will be starting to get some advertising and promotions from the movie to ramp up the hype.

This comes most recently in the form of a set of character promotional photos courtesy of Just Jared Jr, not only giving us our first look at main characters outside of the main four V.Ks but also Hades.

So we’re going to break these down in terms of styling and authenticity to the characters both from the original material and previous movies.

Original Release:

So before Just Jared Jr. released his set, this image made the rounds giving us our first official look at our main four V.Ks Carlos, Evie, Mal and Jay. Honestly from a personal perspective I have never been a fan of shooting from a low angle mainly because it creates that very unneccersary shadow effect on the necks so aside from Carlos and Evie, you can’t tell they have necks. It could also be the costumes fault which we’ll go into when we get a closer look at them further down.

Overall though with the actual styling, I like how the look has evolved again from the second movie after that look evolved from the first movie. It is still very much all about the leather to be a V.K. and for some characters it works but for others not so much.

We also had this promo of Uma and her two henchmen Harry Hook and Gil, it is interesting to see the three still together despite Uma now not really having need of cronies but I love how all three of them look.

New Promos:

Alright so we have 9 images and 8 characters to talk about. Surprisingly though there is no sign of Ben or any of the Auradon Prep kids and that may be because they’ll have their own set released but it is weird to have the main four and even Uma but not Ben.

Mal:

Mal is obviously the main character and so her shot is the one we start with. I don’t like this look one bit for Mal. I know in the first two video promos with Hades being teased and that Under the Sea special that Mal had her main look from Descendants 2, I was expecting Mal to obviously update her look but this just seems basic for her. They do say less is more but this look not only looks reverted but too plain.

First of all, these shots are way too dark because the amount of purple in the outfit as seen in the first image isn’t as visible here, so that’s a misstep, also the fact that obviously Hades is Mal’s dad explains the heavy layer of black but I really do miss all the purple.

Next her hair, I didn’t really believe Mal’s wig in the first movie but definitely believed it in the second movie, this seems just like the first movie again just a little bit thinner and longer, also with the lighting in the image it makes her hair look blue rather than purple so of course there is that misstep between her and Evie.

Evie:

Similarly with Evie, she looks like she has purple hair. It’s really confusing and I don’t know if it is to do with the story of Descendants 3 but I would love some clarity or insight because this franchise has done a lot to distinguish colours for the specific characters and purple and blue are Mal’s and Evie’s respectively.

I will say I do like her hair though, I like the fact that even though Evie isn’t royalty in Auradon she still wears a tiara because that’s just her style. I love the red heart jewel in the middle and I would love it if this was one of Dizzy’s designs.

As for her outfit, I would say the side-view doesn’t do it much justice but the front view isn’t as good either. The outfits in these promos almost look like battle armour and there is a severe lack of blue for Evie in the outfit. I actually don’t think there is any blue.

I really liked her outfit in Descendants 2 because I felt it was mature, stylish and appropriately regal for the character. This just does not say Evie to me from the neck down, I can’t imagine Evie as a fashion designer would create this for herself and believe it to be “fabulous”.

Carlos:

Carlos genuinely looks like a cross between a spaceman and motocross racer, neither of which I would ever associate with the son of Cruella De Vil.

Interestingly enough he is not wearing shorts here despite the fact Carlos has always worn shorts because I think they’re trying to show Carlos as the youngest of the four which works naturally anyway as Cameron Boyce is 3-4 years younger than the other three. I do miss the shorts I have to say, because it added a certain youthful quality to the looks that again is needed for the character in my opinion.

Also I get how the black and white colour pallet is supposed to represent the dalmatian theme he is associated with, but I feel his first two looks represented that a lot stronger than this, it almost comes across as a cow-hide than dalmatian theme. I do miss the fur I have to say, that fur collar in the first movie spoke to me like the green paw print on Beast Boy’s jacket shoulder in Titans.

I have to say also, I don’t get the hair. I think the color is still great but I don’t like them taking Cameron Boyce down the Ross Lynch route of pretty boy hair and to be honest I loved the slick look he had at the start of Descendants 2.

Jay:

Jay’s I would say is most authentic to his character and shows an organic evolution throughout the three movies, even though he has sleeves here I do find it works as a more mature look developing on his original style as opposed to how the other three look.

All his colours are still there, there’s the golds, the patches of black, the reds. I can believe this is what a modern day son of Jafar would wear. Leather works for the character anyway and this is leather-bound brilliance.

I have to say, I can’t decide if I miss the beanie or not but I would have maybe liked to see a bandanna or some sort of headwear because, if these are battle outfits, I feel Jay would wear a bandanna.

It is shocking that this, out of the four, is my favourite look because Jay, as anyone who has read my reviews know, has not been my favourite character but I will say he definitely knows how to be stylish which I thought I would say about Evie or Carlos.

Uma:

Now you see looking at this I can kind of understand Mal’s look if she’s trying to compete with Uma or vise-versa. But the problem is, Uma wins hands down as this is Uma’s style. I love everything from the accents of seagreen, to the shape of the outfit, the hair and the accessories.

Speaking of hair, it was interesting that in Descendants 2 and that special Under the Sea, Uma had braids which mostly were extensions which China McClain had embedded into her already braided hair. The look worked for the with the whole pirate gang captain attire. Here though, I will be interested to see if Uma keeps her Sea Witch status and this is definitely Sea Witch style hair. It’s very regal and you can tell where her hair ends and the extensions begin but that’s only because she filmed this alongside Black Lightning, although in Season 2 she does have shorter hair so maybe she dip-dyed and then had that cut for the show. Regardless I love how she kept the braid-style, it almost takes her look from gang leader to crime boss.

As for the accessories, Evie should be ashamed that Uma is showing her up with her bling. The necklace that she either got or stole from her mother is still there but I will agree with some critics from the her first appearance that in some shots the necklace kept changing size, but here it looks like a trinket rather than a magical object. She also seems to have more bling on as well as that so I am looking forward to seeing that in full. Also her bracelets and nails are subtle enough to not be garish but also to be the right level of stylish. Clearly her time at sea has done her good.

Harry:

If Harry has taken over Uma’s crew from the last movie, then this is the look of a renegade gang leader. I love the level of chains going on with his trousers, it’s subtle because of the darkness of the photo but seeing the shine makes it so cool.

I will say I miss the curliness and unkempt nature of his hair in Descendants 2. Here it does look good but flat, and also I miss his hait. It may not go with the outfit but I do miss it.

The leather vest with the belt motifs is a great choice for the character. I am a bit annoyed about the lighting and obscurity of his shirt because in that first promo you can clearly see it’s a skull shirt whereas if no one was to see that and instead just see this they’d be unsure if his chest is covered in body hair or tattoos because it isn’t quite distinguishable.

I like the use of the hook even though it’s merely an accessory for Harry to honor his father, I like the leather wrist-straps, love the fact he still wears guy-liner. It adds a level of camp to the character without making it seem goofy.

The only thing I don’t understand is those straps around his neck which I think are supposed to be braces but it’s too dark to tell and his arms are in the way.

But he looks good, he was one of my favourites in Descendants 2 and I am thrilled he is back with this look for the third movie.

Gill:

Gil has actually surprised me as while his Descendants 2 look was very suitable for the comic-relief role he had and actually reminded me a lot of the looks in Hook for the lost boys, this is a step up and a more mature version of that.

Looking at the head alone I do see why Jay may not have gone with a bandanna as with the long hair here the two do look alike, the two actors look alike anyway so it makes sense not to confuse the styles too much especially as you’re talking about the sons of Jafar and Gaston who are two completely different characters.

I do believe he is actually bulkier here than he was in Descendants 2 which again evolves his character and makes his resemble his father Gaston more. I will say also, I love the amount of straps he has. It references the fact that in the animated movie during the song Gaston, Gaston chewed a leather belt and spat it out. Leather is always good in my opinion and an obvious choice for villains.

I’m not crazy about his long hair, again I think it’s copying Jay a little bit too much, also I would like to see him with some sort of weaponry particularly if he is still part of Harry or Uma’s crew. Maybe not a gun like his father but a sword or a dagger or something. Uma has magic, Harry has his hook, Gil needs something.

Hades:

Alright so this is the big reveal of Cheyenne Jackson as Hades, we get two photos here to give us a proper look and I will start with the side-view.

Obviously immediately I am focusing on the hair because, my god that is not Hades. The look overall screams punk or rocker to me which, as we’ve seen with the V.Ks, is the style the movies have taken them but even with Maleficent they at least kept in touch with how the original character looked. Here that hair 1) Has way too much product in and 2) Looks ridiculous. I get they’re trying to represent the flaming hair that Hades in animation always has which is obviously not easy to do in live-action but then go with something subtler like Once Upon a Time did, do not tell me Hades is now apparently a punk. I will say they got the colour right and the mohawk effect does look like fire but, hopefully they’ll CG it in the movie but I would prefer Cheyenne Jackson to be bald and just for them to say they’ll add the hair in later.

In the front view the hair doesn’t look as bad but knowing how it looks on the side-view I can’t forgive it. However with the front view we get a better look at the outfit and again it screams punk, Where’s the robe, where’s the smoke, nothing here is giving me Hades, Lord of the Underworld.I will say he does look a lot like what they did with Steve Coogan in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief but that wasn’t good either and obviously that wasn’t meant to be based on the Disney version and rather Greek Mythologu, but the Disney version is obviously drawing inspiration from Greek Mythology and I am not getting any of that here.

It’s more of a renegade warlock type of look than it is a supposed god of the Underworld. The only good thing about the look is the colour because at least they’re right, the leather coat does kind of answer why Mal’s look is so dark in this movie but surely this isn’t just going to be a question of Mal siding with her father and therefore dressing like him.

Also I can kind of see Cheyenne Jackson and Kristin Chenoweth together in a sitcom or American Horror Story style setup, but as the Lord of the Dead and Mistress of All Evil...I just don’t see those two characters as a thing.

As someone who loves Greek Mythology and the Hades character James Woods portrayed so well, I am not getting any respect for either interpretation in this portrayal. I do think Cheyenne Jackson is the wrong casting choice for the character,

Overall I am not as hyped for these looks as I was for the Descendants 2 first look promos we got, I do think there is some good and surprising good but I do also feel nervous for some of my favourites. It’s not all about the fashion at the end of the day but it is part of what makes this franchise enjoyable.

So those are my thoughts on this first official look at the characters of Descendants 3, if they do release a set for the Auradon kids I will probably do another post to dissect them but until then post your comments on what you think about these looks and if you think the styling of these characters are a key component to these movies? Which are your best and which are your worst? Post your comments and check out more posts.

So the con was great!  

I roomed with @reginamotherfuckingmills and @agntreginaskywalker and we arrived Thursday night and we went to the Melting Pot for fondue with @thesschesthair and some other friends.  Cheese and chocolate is always good.

Friday is always a light day.  I was in VIP so I had meet and greets that day with Chris, Jared, and Gil.  

Mostly what I remember from Chris was talking about Eureka which was a show I loved and he played a major recurring part about.  Someone got him to talk about it in the panel to and some of my meet and greet and panel things got fuzzy in my head with people but I think the thing I liked hearing most was about his casting for Vincent in Eureka.  He went there wearing a plaid shirt and with a beard and scruffy sideburns.  The casting call was for an effeminate man and everyone else in the audition was in a crop top and tall and thin.  He figured he wouldn’t get the part.  For those of you interested in ASOUE he will be in season 3.

Jared talked a lot about gaming and his sister who he clearly admires and adores.  I asked him in my meet and greet and then someone stole my question (@saxgoddess25 and I had been asking it in panels too) in the panel what his most hated prop/costume was.  He said he hated the backpack because they’d have him carry it when it wouldn’t make sense for him to have it.  Like hanging out in his own house because they wanted him to be able to pull the book out of it.  Also the book didn’t fit in the back pack and when we saw him doing that it was a special larger bag.  He tried to get them to give him a messenger bag that would fit the book but no go.  He also hated the scarf because it never changed length or got washed often.  Jared’s friday panel featured one of the worst questions I have heard at a con, after he had gushed about working with Andy and how much he appreciated him, someone got up and said she resented him being replaced and asked how it felt when he found out.  Which... yeahhhh

Gil was ... mostly Gil.  He did say that his adventure outfit with leather pants was his favorite costume and that he didn’t much like the ball outfit.  Previously he’d voiced his hatred of the big cable knit sweater. 

I went out with friends for dinner friday rather than doing the concert because by that time at night I was mostly peopled out.  @coaldustcanary was great and we talked about AO3 and I learned a lot about character tagging and the problem of Hope Swan-Jones and Hope Swan-Mills and if they should be tagged as the same character.

I was also kidnapped briefly by the pirate gang of @justmilah @queen-mabs-revenge @thesschesthair @killianmesmalls and @captregina who are all as crazy as you would expect and wonderful.  I’m still annoyed I didn’t get my promised picture of my Milah funko and @justmilah‘s because I find it fascinating to see custom pops of the same character made by different people.  I also gave her many many body parts.

Saturday I had a lovely breakfast with @laura-p-g who is just about the most adorable person ever.  That day I had meet and greets with Rose, Karen, and Colin.

Colin flew in that morning from Atlanta where he is filming.  I remember him saying until 6AM but others said he said 4AM but still.  He couldn’t talk about the project but said that he’d been in a rain scene all night and they were using lake water so he was cold, wet, and dirty.  But there he was at the con and in great spirits so I kind of love him for that.  He answered the prop/costume question at the panel.  Apparently he wasn’t fond of the Prince Charles pants because he split them open.  They were tighter than usual.  He was also a bit sad because it was his first Halloween away from his kids.  Mostly I loved how much he gushed about season 7, he wishes he would have had more time to explore Wish Hook and Alice’s relationship in a season 8.  That really the story with Hook and Emma was told because they were happy and there was more to be had with WH and Alice.  I did have to chuckle thinking about all those people last year who claimed he was talking about how much fun he was having because he was forced to and was just promoting the show.

Rose was really lovely and we mostly chatted about learning to drive and where she wants to visit.  We found out from the panel that she lived with a cousin of hers for 3 months after lying about living in Vancouver to get the job.  Her cousin had to google her to recognize her when she picked her up from the airport.  But good on her!  She said her least favorite prop was Robin’s bow and arrow because it would whap her in the head every time they kissed or embraced.  Also it was difficult to get in and out of the bug with it.  The bug was also really hard to drive.

Karen is a lovely ball of sunshine and is loving playing a witch on Legacies.  She said that her least favorite costume was from Scorpion King where it took forever to do up and then would come apart in the wind machines.  I gave her an Izzy funko from Galavant and she was really happy with it.  She said that funko Izzy looked more badass than she did.  

That night I had dinner with friends including @saxgoddess25 and I tried not to be disturbed by a terrifying clown wandering around the pub.  

There was a really great Good Queen cosplay that looked screen accurate, @queen-mabs-revenge‘s Lieutenant Jones cosplay was fucking amazing including her taco hat.  And the best cosplay had to be the person who was an Emma Swan Funko Pop.  Including giant head.

Sunday was wonderful.  We had Lana, Bex, Emilie, Andy, and Beverley.

Lana was and always is amazing.  She showed us pictures of Lola.  There were many jokes around the con that she posted all those pictures Saturday to kill as many of us as she could to sign fewer autos.  I heard she was signing until 11PM which... I love how much Lana cares.

Bex was amazing, she mostly talked about tv and she recommends the Haunting of Hill House.  Her least favorite prop was the apprentice’s wand because it was awkward and pointy and she always had to have it and stick it up her sleeve.  The script would say she puts it in her inside pocket but there were never any inside pockets so she had to shove it in her bra.  She spent most of her scenes with it thinking “don’t drop the stick don’t drop the stick” which was slightly distracting from actually acting.

Emilie hated carrying around the rifle on Lost because it was heavy and awkward and she was always hitting things with it.

Andy was WONDERFUL.  You should find time to meet him if you ever have the chance.  We talked a lot about how he worked on coming into the part of Henry and in particular the scene on the telephone.  You should just never play Settlers of Catan with him.  Apparently he hoards brick and wood according to Rose and then extorts you for them.  His least favorite experience was being sprayed with water constantly on the JR.

Beverley is just adorable and always fun to be around.

J2 SPN UK 2018 Gold Panel

Jared loves exploring more of the Lucifer storyline this season. 

Jensen did a pretty good Sean Connery/James Bond impression. Jared likes the Roger Moore version of James Bond and Jensen thinks Pierce Brosnan fit the mold the best. 

Jensen says every time he checks in with Danneel it sounds like utter chaos. “Okay, sounds like you got everything under control. Gotta go.” Jared says it feels like you need to go to work to get a “vacation” lol. Jensen says it’s wonderful and challenging. 

A fan asked how they felt about the show exploring how being in the Cage with Lucifer still affects Sam. Jared explained how he has changed lines to protect Sam and his character. Says he will alter interactions with Lucifer if he doesn’t think they’re accurate to how Sam should be. 

Someone asked Jensen about recording an album. Jensen says that recording in a studio takes a lot of time which they don’t have unfortunately but maybe in the future will go back to record. 

Jensen had a cowboy hat with a fringed vest and toy gun to wear every day as a kid and his mom would have to remind him to put his pants on. 

Jared as a kid would come out with his cowboy outfit and only his underwear making his neighbors laugh lol. 

Jensen says pirates are better than ninjas because they go “argghhh” and he wouldn't mind a pirate-themed episode. 

Jared and Jensen are both pirate guys. 

Jared explaining The Onion’s headline of the ninja parade that no one noticed. 

Jensen jokes that Jared is “bothered” by peeps taller than him. Seems fascinated that Jared would beeline for the tallest guy in the room full of Victoria Secret models and go, “Wassup? You workout?” ;) Jensen took a pic of Jared with a bunch of guys that were taller than him. 

Jensen wants the map table in the bunker or any MOL stuff. Jared wants the telescope.

Jared thinks “Bad Day at Black Rock” and “Phantom Traveler” were funny episodes. Jensen says “Just My Imagination” was funny and Nate killed it with his comedic timing plus Speight was directing. 

Jensen kept messing with Briana and the donuts in Donna’s first ep. 

Jared says it feels great filming final episodes of the show because they know they’re coming back for another season! But he has to get a different routine between work and returning home. Jensen says it’s work but fulfilling work and enjoys being on set and at home. 

Afterward, a fan says it was a great panel and that the boys were really laid-back and cheerful and giggly. They overran by 10 minutes and kept taking more questions, so they must’ve been enjoying it ;)

denver broncos defence

He was an easy target from the moment he appeared alongside Jackson in 1986, a symbol of the celebrity's eccentricity. The media loved to mock their antics and matching outfits. The National Enquirer ran a story once claiming the singer Prince used ESP to drive the ape insane.Bubbles never did go crazy, but he did grow up. They look upon fraud as a greater crime than theft, and therefore seldom fail to punish it with death; for they allege, Coach Outlet Sale that care and vigilance, with a very common understanding, may preserve a man's goods from thieves, but honesty has no defence against superior cunning; and, since it is necessary that there should be a perpetual intercourse of buying and selling, and dealing upon credit, where fraud is Coach Outlet Online permitted and connived at, or has no law to punish it, the honest dealer is always undone, and the knave gets the advantage. I remember, when I was once interceding with the emperor for a criminal who had wronged his master of a great sum of money, which he had received by order and ran away with; and happening to tell his majesty, by way of extenuation, that it was only a breach of trust, the emperor thought it monstrous in me to offer as a defence the greatest aggravation of the crime; and truly I had little to say in return, farther than the common answer, that different nations had different customs; for, I confess, I was heartily ashamed. 2.
