☾Anniversary with bill𖤓

Summary: Bill takes you to a fancy restaurant for your anniversary <3

Bill kaulitz x gn!readed

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˗ˏˋ

It was your and bills anniversary today, from the time you woke up to the time you went to sleep, you were absolutely SPOILED by bill. He loves his partner and wants to let you know it!

When you woke up that morning, you were treated to breakfast in bed by bill. As we all know bill could sleep forever but he got up early to make you come breakfast.

Then, he took you to your favorite place! (EX: Park, aquarium, movies, exc) you guys were there for about an hour and a half just being silly and goofing off.

Now a few hours later, you were in present time, getting ready for bill to take you for dinner. As you were putting on your make up bill sat on your bed, just watching you in adoration. “Phffft what are you staring at Billy?” You ask, looking at him in the mirror. “Well of course my pretty baby, your just so beautiful.” Bill says walking over to you and resting his chin on your head

“Your so sweet billy, andddd…immmm… done! How does it look!” You say as you finish your makeup and turn your head around to show bill. He smiles and kisses you softly, “as beautiful as always my leibe.” He says grabbing your hand to lead you outside to go to the restaurant

Once you got there bill treated you like royalty! Getting your chair for you, opening the door for you, exc. Bill and you got each other gifts that you brought to dinner to give to each other.

After eating your meal, he claps his his hands together and leans down to grab the gift bag that he bought for you and pushing it your way. “Ok ok! Open it!” Bill said with a wide smile. You smiled back as you opened the gift

There were 3 separate gifts in the bag as you grab the first one, you coo and cover your mouth with a smile. He got you a sun ring, you looked at him as he lifts up his hand that shows a moon ring! You giggle and grab his hand to kiss it.

Next you grabed the second gift, it was a sweatshirt, but not just any sweatshirt! His sweatshirt, “it’s not a great gift but you always have loved that one so I wanted to give it to you!” Bill says with a smile. “I love it baby! Thank you!” You said smiling at him.

Now onto the third and final gift. You unwraped the gift and felt your eyes watering. It was a rose made of paper that was filled with Polaroids you you and bill with little notes of the back of them. You gasp, “omg! I love it..this is so beautiful.. thank you bill” you say looking at him with a smile and glassy eyes.

“Well, I have another thing! I got you a card!” bill says handing you a ‘happy anniversary card’ you opened the card and felt your eyes water again. The card said…

“Before I met you, I didn’t think love was for me. It was something other people had and felt. Something in movies and in TV shows. It felt more like a wish I had than something real. Now that I’m with you, it’s very real. I’m always thankful for the wonderful person I wake up to. The warm hand next to mine, the brush of hair against my cheek. I love you and because of that, I love myself and the world in a way I never thought possible. You’ve made that possible for me. You’ve made everything possible. Everything you do…the way you laugh, the way you smile, the way my name rolls off of your tongue…all that is what keeps me going. It gives me so much joy to watch you be you. I would never give my attention to anyone else because I love giving it to you. Your so important to me and I’d give anything for you.

Happy anniversary baby, bill <3

Your hand goes to your mouth as you reach over to hug him tightly, “thank you bill. Your so fucking amazing. I love you!” You say with a giggle wiping your eyes and kissing him.

You then grab bills gift! There was around 4 gifts in there. He grabed the first gift which was 2 necklaces, two matching necklaces. “Seems like we had the same idea!” You say with a giggle but it was two heart pendants, that when you opened it, it was pictures of each other. So bills had a picture of you and yours had a picture of bill

Bill immediately smiled brightly and put it around his neck, as did you. Then came the second gift, it was new makeup. You knew he was running out of his iconic black eyeshadow, so you decided to make it easy on him and get him some, which bill was VERY thankful for

Then came the third gift, it was a record of his favorite band! Bill was so excited, he moved around in his seat and held the record to his chest. Thanking you over and over again. As he kissed your forehead softly. The forth and final gift was a card. The card said..

“Billy, as I’m writing this, I’m thinking about that moment when you look at me and smile. Whenever you do that, my heart melts, and I wish I could stay in that moment forever. That is and will always be the best part of my day. I want you to know that you are amazing, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to! I will always be there to help you during your tough times, and I will always be there to share the joy with you. If you wonder just how much I love you, You are the sun in my sky, the river that runs through my soul, and the air I breathe. Before I met you, I didn't believe it was possible to love someone so deeply and completely, but you have given me faith that true love really does exist because I share it with you… I love you Billy, happy anniversary!

Love, y/n ❤︎”

Bill finished reading your letter, and looked up at you. Tears running down his face as he looks at you with complete love. “Oh my god, baby…this is so special to me. Thank you so much”

You and bill just spend the rest of the time sharing loving words and gentle touches. Once you and bill were back home, you guys just cuddled and kissed. You two were soulmates and nothing could change that.

PHFFFT-

AND THE SECOND ONE

[whenimgoodandready]

What is funny? Is it a joke we tell? A mere coincidence? Or a ironic twist of fate that makes us question life itself? Sometimes what’s funny to someone may not be so funny to someone else. The monkey is one of the most funniest animals in the world, but it’s also known as the wisest. The Monkey Miraculous represents honor, instinct, swiftness, and playfulness. It gives the user the power to make other peoples powers malfunction so as to have the user have a high advantage to defeat their opponent. Kim was gifted with this miraculous to save the heroes when the chips were down (“Party Crasher”). Fitting since he’s the lovable jokester. However, with this kind of power given to a villain, it’s not funny. Just who and what can they use it for? Let’s see:

*Derision-In the past couple of eps, we saw that Marinette Dupain-Cheng had trouble saying “I love you” to her boyfriend Adrien (“Perfection”), but finally talked to her friends about it (“Migration”). Despite that progress, what is still keeping our poor pigtailed protagonist from saying those 3 little words!? To answer that! Let’s go waaaaaaay back to “Miraculous B.C” (“before Césaire”. You’ll see why I call it that)

(memory flashback harp music plays)

꒰ఎ✨Back in the 8th Grade, when everyone looked the way they did in that quick flashback photo of “Reflefta”, Bunhead Marinette had a crush on, I sh*t you not, Yellow/Red Hoodie Lê Chiê’n Kim! Yes! That Kim! The obnoxious sporto! The guy that challenged people to stupid dares (“Timebreaker”), insults animals (“Animan”) and bullies his classmates (“Origins Part 2:Stoneheart”). That Kim! Course, Bunhead Marinette was too in love to notice these flaws and even her best friend White Sweater Socqueline Wang thought it was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous! (this is why I called it “Miraculous B.C”). Remember Soc? The “Other” Ladybug who runs the art store (“Jubilation”) who helped the new dynamic duo with her supplies (“Kwami’s Choice Part 1:Transmission”) and even our OG heroes too (“Perfection”). Yeah! She was our Alya stand-in. Bunhead Marinette invites Yellow/Red Hoodie Kim to the local swimming pool to confess her love to him there and Chloe (same as ever) convinces Yellow/Red Hoodie Kim to prank Bunhead Marinette as his declaration of love. Unfortunately, it did a number on her…….a real bad number! The rest is all ancient history✨໒꒱

(memory flashback harp music plays)

Back in “Miraculous A.C” (“after Césaire”), Adrien takes Marinette to the local swimming pool for their date and she starts having panic attacks from her last romantic encounter there and it almost gets her akumatized as “Panic”. Almost! Our girl kept her cool once again! Strike 3! Monarch! You.Are.Outta herrre! You stupid Butterfly Boy! He tried to do that the first time making her “Princess Justice” (“Ladybug”). What would that have looked like!? A blindfolded villainess holding a scale, wielding a sword and wearing a tiara that forced people to tell the truth!? Puh-lease! The second time was “Unmasker” (“Exaltation”). Let me guess, a fully covered up villainess that only has their face exposed so as to show that there are “no secrets” and magically removed whatever face shield a person had!? C’mon! Now here, it’s “Panic”!? Idk what they would’ve looked like, but I’m assuming her power would be to make others run and panic like crazy. Phffft! :P. Doesn’t Monarch know he can never ever akumatize our girl!?😏

After Kim gives Adrien and Ondine the brief history of “Miraculous B.C”, they call him out on his awful stunt and it gets worse when Kim foolishly mentions how hot Chloe is, in front of his own girlfriend, then he gets annoyed by them not having a “sense of humor” and is akumatized as Dark Humor, with the power of the Monkey Miraculous (his given miraculous), that makes him shoot arrows of randomness at people causing them to pull cruel pranks on innocent civilians. His second akumatized form and, appearance wise, it’s sh*t! It’s basically just an inverted coloring of his Dark Cupid look with the addition of his swimming goggles on! Monarch wasn’t trying again was he?🙄 He couldn’t have at least given him a dark jester suit or something!? Ugh! Obviously, judging by what I just said, I prefer his Dark Cupid look. His power was the only effective part about him cuz it did screw up Ladybug’s “Lucky Charm” power, but she made it work. He’s not as quick as our buginette is😏.

There you have it folks! The reason why Marinette Dupain-Cheng is the insecure, anxious, elaborate planning, schedule memorizing and creepy stalker that she is for the past 4 seasons, why she went from a “Heart Thinker” to a “Head Thinker” and why she struggles with her relationship with Adrien. It’s.All.Kim’s.Fault! If he hadn’t pulled that creepy crawly prank, Marinette would’ve been happy and with a boyfriend! Marinette didn’t wanna repeat of blinding moving forward with a guy and so she became a research freak and that way she’d be more careful and not fall for any more tricks! It’s no wonder why she didn’t fall for Cat Noir upon first meeting! He reminded her too much of her first failed crush! Then again, if Kim hadn’t pranked Marinette, that would also mean none of the events in the show would’ve happened either. There were good moments and breakthroughs that changed the whole shtick of things that slightly changed the status quo. Whoa! Talk about your “butterfly” effect! Badum-tish🥁. In Miraculous B.C, before our golden boy and aspiring journalist came into the story, Chloe dominated the school (even outside of it) with an iron (and nail polished) fist and everyone, including the staff, was too afraid to stand up against her. Poor Marinette, before gaining confidence with the Ladybug Miraculous, was a complete doormat to Chloe’s neverending bullying (sighs sympathetically), but not Socqueline! Thanks to her and her Kung Fu fighting, she prevented Chloe from publicly humiliating Marinette. Sadly, it also got her expelled 2wks before graduation. Sorry Soc☹️. Now we know why Marinette became fast friends with Alya. She’s just as bold and assertive as Soc! That’s good cuz we need someone to keep Marinette grounded and encourage her to be brave. Kim didn’t mean any harm though. He just can’t see when a joke crosses the line. The real person at fault was actually Chloe who orchestrated the whole thing and Kim fell for it hook-line-and-sinker cuz of his crush on her (“Dark Cupid”). Luckily, he grew out of it and moved on to someone better (“Syren”). Thanks to Ondine, he got character development and even apologized to Marinette. Thank you, Kim! He finally got the wise aspect of the monkey! Adrien was pissed af when he found what Kim did traumatizing Marinette and for the second time, almost committed murder! (“Jubilation”). Adrien, I know what he did to your gf was wrong and it’s why she can’t say “I love you”, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO! After Kim turned over a new leaf, Adrien confronted Chloe to do the same, but as you’d except, the b*tch said “No” cuz she only cares about herself. Oh Adrien, if you couldn’t convince her to change (“Despair Bear”) and mean it (“Queen Banana”) or have the heroes give her a chance by officially giving her the Bee Miraculous (“Malediktator”) and teach her a lesson about being a better person by taking it away from her (“Battle of the Miraculous Part 2:Miracle Queen”), what makes you think she’ll see the error of her ways herself!? Chloe is a notoriously entitled b*tch who thinks she can treat everyone, mostly Marinette, as if they’re lesser for “fun”! Nobody can convince anyone that they can redeem Chloe! (remembers being spoiled by “Revelation”) OH SH*T!

Phffft (1954)

[twittercomfrnklin2001-blog]

It Should Happen to You

Pauline Kael used to say that screwball comedy was killed by pressure groups that didn’t want to see their demographics held up to ridicule. I don’t know how true that is, but certainly the more serious bent in American life following World War II helped create a world where nobody wanted to see themselves as screwballs. Then along came Judy Holliday. She had no trouble assuming Carole Lombard’s mantle as “the daffy Duse,” even if her films kept making us pay for laughing with her. For most of George Cukor’s IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU (1954, Criterion Channel, Tubi), she’s deliciously demented as a young woman determined to become famous for being famous. Unlike in BORN YESTERDAY (1950), where we’re asked to pay for all the fun by having her learn the error of her ways, this film’s resolution isn’t all that traumatic. In fact, she’s allowed to remain as screwy as she was at the start.

Gladys Glover (Holliday) originally came to New York to make a name for herself. When she loses her job as a girdle model, instead of using her savings to return to Binghamton, NY, to marry the second man who proposes, she rents a billboard on Columbus Circle and plasters her name on it. A big-time soap magnate (Peter Lawford), who wants the sign for his company, trades her six other prominent billboards, and suddenly she’s a celebrity. That doesn’t sit well with her boyfriend (Jack Lemmon, in his first billed film role), a documentarian who finds her thirst for celebrity distasteful, but it lands her an unscrupulous manager (Michael O’Shea) only too happy to make a fortune off her.

Garson Kanin’s screenplay is smart. He takes his potshots at celebrity culture, TV and advertising without lingering over them, and having written three earlier films with Holliday knows exactly the kinds of lines that work for her high-pitched, perpetually surprised delivery. Cukor directs all this gracefully. His tracking shots are almost musical. And he helped Lemmon adapt to film acting by showing him how to keep his performance grounded in reality. The two stars work beautifully (they’d reunite later that year for the very good divorce comedy PHFFFT). His offhand line delivery matches up with her pixilated line readings to give their scenes an improvisatory sense. Most of them feel lighter than air. Even Lawford comes off well, in a mostly thankless role. When he tries to seduce Holliday, his physical grace is sexy but also funny.

It's a curious thing, though. Holliday was typed as dumb blondes, but it’s really grating to hear her called “dumb” on screen. Broderick Crawford had to pay for it big time in BORN YESTERDAY, as do the crooked executives who don’t take her seriously in THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC (1956). So, when her fight scenes with Lemmon lead to his calling her stupid, it feels wrong. She’s given us too much fun for us to accept that she’s merely stupid, particularly since she’s been smart enough to get what she wanted. It’s a major accomplishment that Kanin and Cukor get the film back on track quickly and regain the buoyancy of Holliday’s earlier scenes. With Connie Gilchrist as a wise-cracking landlady, Whit Bissell as an advertising executive, Jack Benny foil Frank Nelson as, what else, a floorwalker, John Saxon in an early bit as a teen in Central Park, and Constance Bennett, Ilka Chase and Wendy Barrie as themselves. It’s some kind of comment on celebrity that even cast as herself, Barrie can’t play a believable human being.
