Jungle Fever

Jungle Fever    [trailer]

Friends and family of a married black architect react in different ways to his affair with an Italian secretary.

Of course, it's about race and prejudices. But it is at times hard to watch. Some characters/scenes feel a bit too cliché, especially the fathers.

And I'm not sure if Samuel L. Jackson's crackhead character was necessary. It felt like he belonged to a different movie. Maybe a sole focus on the different relationships would've been preferable. It still is a good watch.

So many attractive people. Family situation aside, why can't Sciorra, McKee and Snipes all live together?

[logicalstansadvice]

OK, good luck to Seb. She seems like a pretty cool woman who has similar life experiences (multilingual immigrant, artsy, serious actor, does a lot of charity work). BUT I NEED TO SEE THAT SHIRT IN ALL ITS GLORY.

Anon 2: His type is vagina!! Annabella, girl, Pine and then Seb? Living her best life!!!

Anon 3: Since when Seb and the vampire are friends???

Anon 4: At least she is around his age, also she is a true actress.

Anon 5: it's so creepy and cringe how some "fans" react so negatively to Seb having a love interest, dating or being seen with any (blonde😜) woman. I understand that some of his GFs in the past have been problematic (Ale, Ellie, and even Margarita to some extent) but this knee-jerk reaction from the fandom of immediately trashing anyone he dates or is linked to and then digging into their past until they find a reason to hate them. It's very bizarre. I am already seeing "fans" saying negative stuff about Annabelle or claiming it's probably pr (again!). Seb is a grown man who dates whoever he wants and that's none of our business! Even if he was single it's not like we would have a chance with him 😂 so y'all just need to chill the f out.

Anon 6: If seb and Anabelle are infact dating I wish them all the best they make a hot couple

Anon 7: I think seb and Annabelle look cute together but I’m not sure if they were just hooking up or if it’s a whole blown out relationship. I guess time will tell

Vamp - Seb worked on a film with RPattz so no surprise there. His co-stars love him. And yes! I NEED TO SEE THE FULL OUTFIT BECAUSE THAT SHIRT....

Lady Danger - He looks hot in that pic! I don’t know much about Annabelle but like you said, Anon 6 - time will tell ⏰

Ruby Woo - get it Seb!

Random GG OC Fic summary:This is Annabella/Veronica/Renesmee Marks the 3rd Marks sister! She’s a thousand times more daring than Beth, 300% more quippy than Annie,and a bajillion times more insightful than Ruby. She was totally apart of the Fine and Frugal robbery definitely not shoe horned in! She’s also got an amazing body that’s somehow a mix of tomboyish and womanly without having enormous knockers unlike some characters....Anyway Rio is completely transfixed/obsessed with her and everyone else is just background noise. There will be a total of 5 times she is kidnapped and no internal struggle about the criminal lifestyle. All of her plans and ideas will work and profit resulting in her and Rio having mediocre sex and they’ll most likely poop out a baby.

Me: *sighing with the weight of a hundred eldritch gods upon my shoulders* ....And you did this...for what?

Ready for Anything, Chapter 1 - Departures & Arrivals, Scene 1

I got some encouragement, so I’m putting up the first scene of my Kitella fic here. Fair warning, this is unedited!

Tagging @winterinverona, @grrlgeek72, @insectoid5, @thegeekogecko, because you all encouraged me.

“Shall we?” Kit asked, nodding toward the door.

She simply nodded and smiled. Kit took her hand (the one that wasn’t holding the slipper) and they turned to toward the door.

They walked past the garishly dressed girls (Cinderella’s sisters?) and the Grand Duke, who would have to be dealt with at some time that was not this day. As they came to the door, Captain Renfield smirked slightly, triumph in his eyes.

Kit grinned back. Yes, he did have to pick this one – her, his Cinderella – and now that he’d found her, that she’d accepted him, he would—

A footstep behind them made them both pause and turn.

On the wide curved staircase leading to the chateau’s upper floor stood the lady of the house, the redhead in the gown of emerald and jade.

Cinderella’s grip on his hand tightened.

Kit squeezed back and almost spoke, but something – something in the way the shy smile dropped off her face, leaving a single stare of determination – stopped him. His eyes flickered to the lady of the house, but only for a moment. It was enough to see that she stood ramrod straight, her own lips pursed into a thin tight line.

Then he looked back at his bride-to-be.

Cinderella took a deep breath and rolled her shoulders back. A hint of a smile ghosted across her face before she let a few words fall into the silence.

“I forgive you.”

And somehow that was all that needed to be said.

Kit turned a faint inquiring glance in her direction, but she smiled, and Kit realized this was neither the time nor the place for questions.

Together, they stepped out into the sunshine.

No sooner did they emerge, hand-in-hand, into the sunshine than the soldiers assembled to assist the Grand Duke and Captain Renfield in their search sent up a rowdy cheer.

And in that moment, reality hit Kit like a ton of bricks.

He’d found her – the girl in the woods, his Mystery Princess. He was bringing her back to the palace. She would be Queen someday – soon – tomorrow if he could possibly arrange it (probably not, but a man could dream) – which meant there were things to arrange, and a court to prepare, and –

And she had gasped at the attention given just by these soldiers, jumping back like a startled deer. Her dark eyes were huge and wide, and her gaze went right to him.

So Kit leaned in and said, stupidly, the first thing that came to mind. In fairness, it was something his father had said to him once, many years ago, when he’d been startled by a similar raucous reaction.

“Don’t worry. They’re just cheering because this means they get to go home and get their dinners.”

Cinderella stared at him – truly stared at him – and she laughed. It was a beautiful, pure sound, like the ringing of a bell. But it sounded rusty, disused. And she seemed self-conscious of it, for she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. The hand that was holding the slipper.

She stared at the slipper for a moment before laughing harder.

“Gentlemen,” Kit said, holding more tightly to Cinderella’s hand and bowing, “your future Queen!”

The cheers became, if anything, more raucous, and Cinderella began to blush. She curtsied as well as she could with one hand in Kit’s and one hand still holding the slipper. Naturally, this only made the soldiers more enthusiastic. The cheers became interspersed with whistles, at least until one genius in the back decided to try a wolf whistle—

“ATTEN-TION!” bellowed Captain Renfield, and that was enough to silence the soldiers, instantly. “Forgive them, miss; they know not what they do.”

Cinderella just laughed and blushed, and Kit felt himself falling in love with her all over again.

“Your Majesty …” That was the Grand Duke, making his way out of the front door on Captain Renfield’s heels. “I think perhaps we ought to discuss—or at least consider—”

“I don’t,” said Kit, and turned back to Cinderella. “Are you ready to come to the palace now? Or would you like to collect your things first?” She had to have more than just the clothes on her back and one extra slipper.

… Didn’t she?

Cinderella looked over her shoulder at the house behind them. Something like sadness crossed her face, paired with trepidation.

Remembering the confrontation with the lady of the house, he added, “We can send some of the men in to get it if you’d rather not go back inside.”

The look of relief Cinderella had was so potent that Captain Renfield stepped forward. “I’ll see to it personally, miss. Which room is yours?”

“Oh, I—I don’t have one,” Cinderella said. “But there’s a box under a loose floorboard in the attic – the attic where you found me. That’s all I have to take with me.”

Captain Renfield’s eyes widened, and even the Grand Duke looked a bit taken aback. “That’s it, miss?”

“Yes.” Her eyes fell. “Thank you.”

“No trouble at all, miss. Here, Your Grace, you can help me.”

“I—what?”

Captain Renfield, when he grabbed your arm, had the sort of grip that brooked no argument. Kit had learned this many times in his youth and during the wars. The Grand Duke, it seemed, was learning it now.

Kit studied Cinderella’s face as she watched the Captain frog-march the Grand Duke back into the house. She seemed surprised and perhaps a little impressed.

“Cinderella?” Kit asked. “There’s a carriage not far up the road. Would you mind riding back in that? I know you’re no novice horsewoman,” and here he smiled, “but at the same time, I am not sure the people are ready to see their future Queen riding into town bareback and guiding her horse by its mane.”

Cinderella laughed. “Believe it or not, I can ride with a saddle and bridle. Reins, even!”

“At this point, if you told me you could fly, I might very well believe it until definitively proven otherwise.” He stroked her knuckles with his thumb.

She grinned. “I assure you, Kit, I cannot fly.”

“Well, that’s a relief. I had a hard enough time finding you when I knew you had to keep both feet on the ground. Heaven help me if I had to search the treetops as well.”

Her smile was infectious – at least Kit certainly felt it infecting him – and he gently tugged on her hand, leading her down the steps and down the drive. “The carriage, please,” he said to the foremost soldier – Bisset, who had been one of the few soldiers aware their King was riding with them. “And might I borrow your extra cloak?” he asked, referring to the cloak Kit had given to him when he doffed his disguise.

“Of course, Your Majesty!” Bisset handed over the cloak and rode off.

“Cinderella?” Kit asked, letting go of her hand and holding out the cloak for her.

“Oh—thank you.” And by the way she blushed and stepped into the cloak, Kit could tell she was touched – truly touched – by the kindness.

What on earth has she been through?

The question must have been obvious on his face, because her eyes left his and she pursed her lips together.

“Cinderella—”

“Ella,” she interrupted. “That is—Ella is my given name.”

Well, that was a relief in a way. As charming a name as Cinderella could be, Kit did have to wonder about parents who gave their child such an … unusual name.

But he had to tease, just a little bit. “That’s it? Just Ella? That’s not a nickname for anything?”

She looked up then, one eyebrow lifting. “Such as?”

“Well, there’s Gabriella – Daniella – Eleanor – Isabella—although I guess ‘Bella’ might be the more obvious nickname there—Annabella—wait, same thing …”

Her laugh told him that he had succeeded in his mission to cheer her up. Before he could say anything else, though, two things happened at once.

The first was that the door to the house opened once again, and out came Captain Renfield and the Grand Duke, the former holding a box in his arms. The second was that the drumbeat of hooves announced the imminent arrival of the carriage.

Cinderella’s—Ella’s—eyes fell first on the Captain and his box. “My treasures!” she said, the smile blooming over her face showing that whatever was in this humble box, it was worth more than rubies in her eyes.

“Indeed,” Captain Renfield replied. “Er, I do have to ask, though – His Grace and I found some mice while we were searching for the box—”

“Oh, they weren’t hurt, were they?” Ella’s gaze volleyed from the Captain to the Grand Duke and back again. “They’re my friends.”

The Grand Duke’s eyes bugged, but Captain Renfield merely smiled and flipped open the box. “Behold.”

Kit came close enough to look in the box, and there – clear as day and bold as brass – were three little mice and one big mouse, all cheeping merrily at Ella.

“Yes, yes, of course you can come with me! I wouldn’t leave you with …” She paused and looked at Kit. “They—they can come with us, can’t they?”

“Of course,” said Kit. He would worry later about how he would explain to the palace ratcatchers and the small army of cats that roamed the halls that these mice were, apparently, sacred.

“Your Majesty—” the Grand Duke began.

“Oh, look, there’s the carriage,” Captain Renfield interrupted. He closed the box gently; Kit could see that the box was loosely constructed and thus had plenty of airflow. “I’ll put this in the carriage for you, miss.”

“Oh, you don’t have to, I mean, I can carry it—”

“It is my pleasure,” said the Captain with a smile, and Ella said no more – though she looked a bit dazed.

Kit took her hand once more, and he thought Ella clung to it. She turned her gaze to him and seemed to find strength in whatever she found there, for she took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and smiled back at him.

Without further ado, he led her to the carriage and handed her in. “Do you mind if I ride with you?” he asked. “I don’t want to—”

She turned a look at him as if she thought he’d taken leave of his senses. “Of course not,” she replied.

Kit grinned and followed her. “Captain—”

“We’ll see to your horse, don’t worry,” he chuckled. “You worry about your lady.” He shut the door behind them, leaving Kit and Ella to settle in.

It took Kit less time than Ella. He sat across from her, as propriety dictated, and watched as she put her slipper into the box, leaving the cover open, presumably for the benefit of the mice.

“Ella …” he started, and stopped, realizing he had no idea where he was going to from there.

Ella peeked at him through her lashes with a rueful smile. “You look like a man with questions.”

“… Perhaps a few,” he admitted.

“Dozen?” she countered, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, I wasn’t going to say that.”

“You didn’t have to.” Ella smiled as she adjusted her skirts.

Kit reached across and took her hand once more. “You don’t have to tell me anything you’re not comfortable sharing.”

Ella watched their linked hands, her expression inscrutable. But when she looked up, it was with a smile. “But it’s such a good story. And it has a happy ending. And I do not know about you, Mr. Kit … but I do love a happy ending.”

“It seems we are in agreement, then, for so do I.” Kit leaned forward. “And I am all ears.”

I’ll admit that I don’t know where this fic is going beyond the first few scenes. But I’ve been scouring the web for longform Kitella fics, and while I have found some BRILLIANT ones, I want MOAR, so it looks like I will be writing it myself.

Hope you guys liked this little snippet!

The Name Garden: Q&A Monday

Hello everyone, and welcome to a brand new week of baby names! Here are the anonymous questions that I received during the week. I hope the answers give you some naming inspiration; feel free to share your own answers in the comments below, and help others in the naming community out!

Do you have a question you’d like answered on The Name Garden Q&A Monday? Send it in here!

---

Q: Which one of this names do you prefer: Noelle Lorena or Primrose/Primrosa Noelle? For a French-spanish family living in Spain?

A: I really like Primrose, and I want to go with it, but I’m not feeling the 2-2 syllable feel. The other two have a nicer flow to them! I haven’t actually heard of Primrosa before, but I think I like that. Primrosa Noelle. I feel like the -a ending will be more common in Spain, and therefore easier to go with. Noelle then brings that French sound into it. So Primrose Noelle is my choice.

Q: Hello! I was wondering if you had some pretty middle name ideas for a baby girl named Celese? Thanks so much. I hope your new treatment plan helps you feel better with your RA! ❤

Celese Thalia

Celese Violet

Celese Annabella

Celese Jolene

Q: Hey I'm having my baby in July and for a girls name we have 'Harley Piper Scout H' and I love that. But for boys names we can only agree on liking the following - Tyler, Max, Jack. My partner hated my suggestions for Wyatt and Wesley and Milo and Coen and Arlo. My partner likes James and Ethan but I don't. Can you help suggest some boy names? I like slightly unusual names I don't want a totally common name. Thank you x

A: Hey there, and congratulations! You know, my taste in names feels like it sits right in between yours and your husbands, so I might be able to help you find a middle ground here! Here are some ideas:

Miles

Oliver

Charlie

Sebastian

Finn

Spencer

Rory

Patrick

Connor

Jeremy

Toby

Leo

Mason

Felix

Dylan

Austin

Noah

Cody

Logan

Evan

Cole

Q: I'm looking for a kind of dark yet believable first name for a boy with the surname "Hellgoth". Any ideas?

A: That is a tricky one, I feel like a lot of dark names will tip it over the edge of believable, so you do want to go fairly neutral (as I’m assuming it’s for a character). Here are some that may work, from very neutral, to bordering quite dark:

Blaise Hellgoth

Damon Hellgoth

Edgar Hellgoth

Damien Hellgoth

Dante Hellgoth

Bram Hellgoth

Victor Hellgoth

Kane Hellgoth

Orion Hellgoth

Maxim Hellgoth

Klaus Hellgoth

Dane Hellgoth

Desmond Hellgoth

Edwin Hellgoth

Stellan Hellgoth

Silas Hellgoth

Damius Hellgoth

Silvain Hellgoth

Oren Hellgoth

Pierce Hellgoth

Draven Hellgoth

Erik Hellgoth

Briar Hellgoth

Oleander Hellgoth

Sullen Hellgoth

Q: Re: A sister for Sullivan. Thank you for your response! I really like the names Adelaide and Molly with Sullivan. To respond to your question about my style of names, I like names that I would consider to be quirky vintage. So for girls I like Clementine, Beatrix, Opal and others like this. I also like nature names like Iris and Flora. I don't know that these styles particularly fits with Sullivan... any more suggestions for me? Thank you for your help!

A: Hello again! I’m glad I could help you. Knowing your style does help a lot - I quite like those names too. I think the older names do fit with Sullivan, but since it’s been revived, there’s almost two styles it fits into - one is very vintage and classic, and the other is very modern and funky. So let’s see what we can do with the vintage and classic names!

Sullivan & Arabella

Sullivan & Camille

Sullivan & Poppy

Sullivan & Lillian

Sullivan & Roxanne

Sullivan & Estelle

Sullivan & Estella

Sullivan & Loretta

Sullivan & Matilda

Sullivan & Margaret

Sullivan & Rosalie

Sullivan & Olive

Sullivan & Esther

Sullivan & Lydia

Sullivan & Penelope

Sullivan & Irene

Sullivan & Louise

Sullivan & Caroline

Sullivan & Abigail

Sullivan & Kathryn

Sullivan & Imogen

Sullivan & Evangeline

Sullivan & Evelyn

Sullivan & Lucy

Sullivan & Rose

Sullivan & Alice

Sullivan & Gracie

Sullivan & Valerie

Sullivan & Daisy

Sullivan & Eleanor

Sullivan & Phoebe

Sullivan & Felicity

Sullivan & Ivy

Sullivan & Clara

Sullivan & Ruby

Sullivan & Theresa

Sullivan & Thelma

Sullivan & Ida

Sullivan & Hazel

Sullivan & Beatrice

Sullivan & Florence

Sullivan & Geneva

Sullivan & Martha

Sullivan & Lavender

Sullivan & Myrtle

Sullivan & Dahlia

Sullivan & Pearl

Sullivan & Joyce

Sullivan & Ruth

Sullivan & Rosa

Sullivan & Dorothy

I hope this helps!
