🧸👻👽 🦾 💔 🎭😺💄😭😶 for russell crane please :)

(i promise to send a lot of sweets if russell starts speaking criminal facts in your ear)

I’m going to have to start charging you interest on your request to put up with Russell’s rambling!😉

And while I eat my candy, enjoy the headcanons!

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood

Russell had some of the strangest obsessions as a child. One of them being obsessed with silent, black-and-white films. Thankfully, they were allowed by the Utopians, so his parents let him watch them occasionally. Russell used to study the characters’ body language to see how they communicated without words. That's why he can easily pick up on people’s emotions just by watching their body language.

👻 A headcanon about what scares them

Letting people get close to him, both physically and non-physical. He doesn't like people touching him without his permission and hates being crowded around. Russell also fears letting people into his life and heart. He’s already been betrayed by people he trusted (aka the Utopians) and is scared of it happening again. Russell believes that if he doesn't let people get too close, it will hurt less when they inevitably betray and leave him.

👽 A headcanon about a weird quirk of there

Russell hates other people making his tea. No one ever gets it right or remembers how he likes it, no matter how many times he tells them. He will allow only four people in his life to make his tea without complaint and in order: his mother, Amy, his father, and Yann. His mother took her tea similarly to him; Amy paid diligent attention to how he liked it and made it her mission to remember the order; his father used to make Caroline’s tea and would also make Russell’s when he was too small to do it himself; Yann always takes the time to learn people's likes and dislikes, and while it took a couple of tries, he eventually got it right and continues to do so.

🦾 A disability headcanon

He has OCD. Everything has a place, and everything should be in its place when it is not in use. He also has to perform certain tasks in specific orders, or else he’ll need to restart. For example, he has to grab everything he needs in a specific order before he leaves his house. So even if he were to find his keys before his wallet, he wouldn’t grab them until he had his wallet, even if it would save time.

💔 An angsty headcanon

Russell used to collect coins when he was a kid. He stopped collecting them after the Utopian leader deemed no members could have unapproved hobbies, and unfortunately, collecting coins was not one of them. Russell was forced to get rid of or spend the money and was forbidden from collecting them again. After the Utopians were dissolved, he slowly began collecting coins again. Amy’s the only one who knows about the collection, as he’s scared that if others find out, he’ll be forced to get rid of them again. She’s never told anyone and gives him any unique coins she finds to add to his collection.

🎭 A headcanon about what they lie about

He was a child actor. Many Utopians pursue careers in acting, and even more put their children into the spotlight. Russell never had any significant roles and usually served as a background character. But there were a few movies where he was a recurring character. Thankfully for him, those movies weren’t very popular, so no one recognized him from them. Someone once questioned him about it, thinking they’d seen him in a movie or show before, but Russell managed to deflect their suspicions by saying he used to do commercials, and that’s probably where they knew him from.

😺 An animal related headcanon

Russell had a pet cat when he was a child. Technically, it was his mother’s cat, which she had owned for years before he was born, but the cat loved Russell as if he were her kitten. Where Russell went, the cat was never far behind. She was his protector, and Caroline took many pictures of the two together. Sadly, the cat died of old age a couple of years before Russell escaped the Utopians. To this day, every time he sees a fluffy white cat, he thinks of his childhood pet and his mother.

💄 An appearance headcanon

Russell is a stickler for cleanliness and good hygiene. While he’s not an overly vain man compared to others in Pacific Bay, Russell is guilty of taking extra care of his hair. He hates having his hair a mess and uses special products to maintain his waves and keep his blond hair looking shiny. Amy always tells him he loves the smell of his shampoo, making Russell smile every time she compliments his hair.

😭 A headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them

When Brad Belinsky kidnaped Russell, he was nearly strangled to death by the hypnotized strongman. When Brad captured him in a headlock, he squeezed Russell’s throat so tightly that he cut off the profiler’s oxygen supply. Russell struggled to get free by hitting Brad’s arm, but his attacks did nothing against the wall of muscle. Thankfully, Brad lightened up after he put a gun to his head, but Russell struggled to breathe until he was rescued. The following day, he woke up to a bruise across his throat, and he covered it with makeup to prevent worrying his teammates.

😶 A random headcanon

He’s lactose intolerant, and that’s one of the main reasons why no one is allowed to make him tea: they use regular milk instead of an alternative. The first time Amy took him to get ice cream, he didn’t know how to tell her he couldn't eat it. Thankfully for his bowels, the shop had lactose-free options, so he was safe. After that, Amy always ensures she takes him to shops with lactose-free options and keeps a tub of his favourite ice cream in her freezer for when he visits.

(Astra looks up from her candy)

Oh, we’ve reached the end of the headcanons? Sorry, I got distracted eating candy!😋

Thanks for the request and candy, my gremlin child!

Now let’s get down to business

I got zero idea what’s going on half the time so I just roll with it (better safe than sorry) 🤷🏻‍♀️

My big brother is an Avengers and Scientist according to wiki, but he’s really just a guy who’s always trying to crack a new equation and get a good night sleep 💤

I’m a huge believer in being yourself and letting others see who are 🎭

I enjoy animated films, binging tv shows and reading articles about celebrities (just girly things) 📸

You will find reblog posts of different types of content on here so keep a look out 🎬

Also did i mention that i have a alter ego, who might pop in to say hi 😉

Oh yeah! Steal my sticky buns or change the channel on the tv and there will be problems 😤

🌕 SilkClan – Moon 12 (First Moon of Leaffall) By Snakespeckle 🐾

Hey there, SilkClan! 🍂 Leaffall is here, and with it comes crisp air, new apprentices, and plenty of Clan buzz to go around. There's been so much happening this moon, so let's dive into all the juicy details. We've got patrol drama, some very interesting interactions, and a few surprises up our paws!

🌿 Big Happenings:

Clear & Runningpaw’s Loner Patrol This moon’s patrol report is anything but ordinary. Clear and Runningpaw ran into a friendly loner over the border, and next thing you know, we've got a new Clanmate! Welcome to SilkClan, Bitternfeather! 🐾 Can’t wait to see what stories you bring to the fresh-kill pile.

Posyclaw Gives Parsleypaw a Pep Talk Oof, things got intense in the training grounds! Parsleypaw made a simple mistake, and before Posyclaw could even say a word, Parsleypaw was off to camp, convinced they'd never be warrior material. 😿 But Posyclaw—never one to sugarcoat—gave them the hard truth: “Half of glory is believing you deserve it.” And guess what? Parsleypaw came back swinging with renewed energy. You love to see it!

💬 Clan Chatter:

Basilstar’s Playful Side?! Yes, you read that right! Our fearless leader, Basilstar, was caught pranking Robinpaw this moon. Who knew Basilstar had such a playful streak? Keep an eye on your tails, apprentices—you never know what tricks might come next! 🎭

Streakminnow & Gardenia—Something Brewing? Streakminnow’s been taking quite an interest in Gardenia lately. Could be friendship… could be more than that! Only time will tell, but for now, let’s keep our whiskers twitching. 🌼

Wisteriaspeckle Daydreaming Anyone else catch Wisteriaspeckle staring off into space? I did. What's on their mind, you ask? Maybe they’re just enjoying a moment of peace—or maybe there's more to it. After their chat with Basilstar, they seemed pretty deep in thought. 🤔

🐾 Connections & Conflicts:

Gift-Giving from Stoneraven Stoneraven left a surprise gift in Gardenia’s nest! How sweet is that? It’s always nice when Clanmates go the extra mile, but what sparked this sudden generosity? A deeper bond forming, perhaps? 👀

Posyclaw Checking In on Yours Truly Posyclaw's been wondering how I’m doing lately. How considerate! As for me? Oh, I’m just itching to get out and run—maybe a friendly race around the territory? I could use a challenge. 😉

Runningpaw’s Ambition Speaking of running, our very own Runningpaw has been begging to be taught some advanced hunting moves. With that kind of drive, it's only a matter of time before they’re impressing all of us. Keep an eye on this one, Clanmates! 🌟

🌸 Clan Life:

Heatherpaw Hard at Work Heatherpaw's been reinforcing the camp walls with brambles, and let me tell you, they’ve been working harder than ever. Looks like Heatherpaw is eager to prove their skills—and who could blame them? That dedication’s going to take them far!

Snappaw’s Nostalgic Moments Our newest apprentice, Snappaw, has been thinking about their old Clanmates a lot lately. The transition isn’t always easy, but with a little time, I’m sure they’ll feel right at home here. We’re a pretty great Clan, after all! 🧡

Gardenia & Cliffscar: Role Models Extraordinaire Gardenia and Cliffscar have really been stepping up this moon, showing the younger cats what it means to be role models. Between their actions and their advice, they’re setting quite the example for the next generation of warriors!

Clear’s Swimming Ambition Rumor has it, Clear’s been wondering if they could be a good swimmer. Hmmm, I smell some water-bound adventures in their future. Who knows, maybe we’ll have another swimming star in the Clan! 🌊

That’s all for now, SilkClan! Leaffall’s just getting started, and I have a feeling we’re in for even more excitement as the moons roll by. Until next time, keep those whiskers twitching and those ears perked—there’s always more gossip to uncover!

[truevedicastrology]

I have my Sun, Moon & Mercury in Sagittarius in the 5th house. With a Cancer ascendant. And Venus and Mars in Capricorn in the 7th house. I have two stelliuim in my chart. What does that mean for me.

Cosmic Cocktail: Sagittarius Stellium & Capricorn Power Couple 🏹🌟🐐

Oh my stars! ✨ You've got quite the celestial party going on in your chart! Let's break down this cosmic conga line and see what it means for you, you celestial superstar! 🌠

🦀 Cancer Rising: The Cosmic Bouncer

First off, with Cancer as your ascendant, you're like the celestial bouncer of the zodiac:

Outward Persona: Nurturing, intuitive, and maybe a bit moody (but in a cute way!)

First Impression: "Aww, they seem so sweet and caring!" (Little do they know about your wild Sagittarius side... 😉)

Superpower: Emotional intelligence that's off the charts! 📊💕

🏹 Sagittarius Stellium in the 5th House: Party Central! 🎉

Hold onto your horoscopes, folks, because this is where things get wild!

Sun in Sagittarius: Your core self is all about adventure, philosophy, and shooting for the stars (literally and figuratively).

Moon in Sagittarius: Your emotional self is equally adventurous. Emotional stability? More like emotional skydiving!

Mercury in Sagittarius: Your mind is a non-stop idea factory with a side of foot-in-mouth syndrome.

All of this in the 5th house? It's like the universe decided to throw a cosmic kegger in the fun zone of your chart!

What this means for you:

Creativity on Steroids: You probably come up with 50 brilliant ideas before breakfast.

Romance is an Adventure: Your love life is never boring. It's probably part rom-com, part Indiana Jones movie.

Risk-Taker Extraordinaire: "Play it safe" isn't in your vocabulary. You're more likely to say, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Eternal Student of Life: You're always learning, growing, and probably enrolling in random classes for fun.

Life of the Party: You don't just attend parties, you ARE the party. 🎊

🐐 Capricorn Power Couple in the 7th House: Cosmic Adults in the Room

Now, let's talk about your Venus and Mars hanging out in Capricorn in the 7th house. It's like having the cosmic power couple chaperoning your wild Sagittarius party!

Venus in Capricorn: You may act wild, but deep down, you crave stability in love. You're not just looking for a partner; you're looking for a co-CEO for your life.

Mars in Capricorn: When it comes to going after what you want, you're like a determined mountain goat scaling Everest. Unstoppable!

In the 7th house of partnerships, this combo is potent:

Power Couple Vibes: You're attracted to ambitious, goal-oriented partners. Netflix and chill? More like strategic planning and excel.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race: In relationships, you're in it for the long haul. No U-Haul on the second date for you!

Work Hard, Play Hard: You know how to balance your wild Sagittarius energy with your grounded Capricorn side. It's like having an inner party animal and an inner CEO.

🌟 Double Stellium Drama: Cosmic Tug-of-War

Having two stelliums is like hosting two competing radio stations in your brain. Sometimes they harmonize, sometimes it's cosmic cacophony!

What it means for you:

Internal Conflict: Part of you wants to jet off to Bali on a whim, while the other part is worrying about your 401k.

Depth and Versatility: You have the unique ability to be both the free-spirited philosopher and the grounded realist.

Never a Dull Moment: Your inner world is rich, complex, and probably worthy of its own reality TV show.

Potential for Greatness: With all this cosmic firepower, you have the potential to achieve amazing things... if you can get all your inner planets to cooperate!

🎭 The Cosmic Bottom Line

You, my celestial friend, are a fascinating mix of fire and earth, adventure and stability, wild dreams and practical ambitions. You're like a cosmic cocktail that shouldn't work but somehow creates flavor explosions!

Your life path might look something like this:

Morning: Plan to conquer the world

Afternoon: Spontaneously book a trip to a country you can't pronounce

Evening: Create a detailed budget for said trip while philosophizing about the meaning of life

Embrace your contradictions, balance your energies, and remember: with great cosmic power comes great cosmic responsibility (and probably some great cosmic parties too)! 🎉🌠

Now go forth and dazzle the world with your unique blend of sagacious wisdom and capricornian ambition! The stars have dealt you a wild hand – play it with gusto! 🃏✨

Look at the soul- Part 4 Changes

Cillian Murphy x OC

I’m deeply sorry it took me so long to update this series! I hope you still remember it, if you don’t head over to the master list to see the previous chapters! ✨🎭

Song: Changes by David Bowie (lyrics in italics as usual)

And new characters will be showing up as we continue to join this performance on stage!

Banner credit: @forgottenpeakywriter thanks Selene!

A/N: I’ve been reading a lot about theater and plays, it’s so so interesting but of course, I’m not an expert, also some inspiration comes from @heidimoreton ‘s help 😉

“Hey Marianne, how did the fitting go?” Cillian greeted her with a kiss on the cheek backstage.

“Great! They showed me a few sketches already.”

He smiled pleased, everything seemed to be working fine.

“That’s good, anything you would like to change?” She immediately shook her head.

“Not a single thing, I love it!”

Cillian guided her through the hall. “I know this is all new to you, but please feel free to speak your mind, you’re part of this project.”

Marianne thanked him for his kindness, Cillian was making her feel so comfortable about everything, he introduced her to part of the staff they crossed paths with, he seemed to know everyone and showed her around the theater.

“Now how about we get on with it? Would you like to discuss something about the play?”

“Yes… how is it possible that Adria’s brother holds so much power, to the point of blocking every single door for her? The lawyer, the doctor and nurses taking care of her parents, the judge…”

“There’s this little lucky strike on his side when she’s away, is interesting how these series of events happens and he goes back and starts manipulating their father to get the last call on the properties and the legal rights to everything.”

“And there’s not a single scene with him?” She bit her lower lip, thinking about it.

“Not physically, he’s still in the story but all we know about him is what we see through Adria’s eyes. And the hints from the narrator.”

“There you are!” Heidi appeared with a sound tech. “Hello! Can we try these?” She waved off a little box connected to a long wire. She instructed Marianne to hold the tip against her cheek and helped her to place it around her ear, then she walked around her and adjusted the clip of the microphone on her jeans, Marianne winced at the unfamiliarity.

“That’s how we break the ice.” Cillian joked, while she blushed.

Heidi looked at Marianne, realizing of something important. “Sorry! I’m so used to this, I do it with my eyes closed.” She smiled, helping Marianne feel at ease.

She smiled back. “I’ve to learn a lot of things, right?”

“We just want to try it, once you’ve the wardrobe you’ll have the wire under your clothes.”

“Lights!” The tech shouted and the theater got dark, except from one bright light that was directed straight to Marianne. She blinked away, it was hard to see anything.

“This is going to be your spot for the opening scene.” Cillian showed her, walking to the corner, the bright light following her every move. “Can we start with the first line?”

“I will go up there,” Heidi pointed at one of the seats, “to make sure the sound works. I always get so excited on soundcheck days!”

Everything was still so surreal to Marianne, she saw Heidi walking down the stairs on the side of the stage and started giving instructions, unlike her, Heidi knew what she was doing. The lights started to change and now two were following her.

“Trying out light 1.” The tech called through the speakers.

As Marianne went on to read the first part of the script, Cillian corrected her posture, asked her to adjust her volume and showed her to repeat the lines with a pencil in her mouth.

“Be careful with your breathing, if you push out the air too hard, the audience will hear this.” He pointed out as he blew to the microphone. “Let it out slowly in three counts, or your next line will come out forced and you will be out of breath soon.”

She listened intently and tried to memorize all the instructions and guidance he was providing, he was extremely patient and spoke to her softly, but it was a lot of information to take in.

Marianne forced herself to focus on her breathing, a technique she learned that really helped her to stay calm in moments where a panic attack was around the corner, she was doing her best to push away those kind of thoughts.

“I’ll tell you what, let’s take this off, we don’t have to worry about it yet.” He pointed at the small device in Marianne’s ear and motioned her to take off the box from her jeans. Leaving them over the bar, he walked back towards her. “Let’s try to tell the story instead of just reading lines, play with your voice. Let me feel the emotion you reached when you broke the mirror.”

And she did as he suggested. But Marianne still felt a little bit out of place.

“Look at the audience, I think a small pause there will add a nice touch, let them wonder the next move, will Adria give up? Will she let her brother win?” His voice was deep, but soft like velvet, and he seemed to move his hands in sync perfectly.

“Sorry I forgot the line.” Marianne looked at Cillian worried, covering her face. With a frustrated groan, she bent down to pick up the script. Nerves started to kick in.

“Don’t stop, no matter what happens you have to keep going.” Heidi told her walking on stage.

They had been working for hours, the constant light changing irritated her eyes, she felt like she needed to pick up on everything they were instructing her to do, her volume, her spot, the way her feet moved, they asked her to speak from her diaphragm… she was too fast or too slow, she was late on her counts, she was looking at the floor…

“I’ll let you go to check the audition schedule. Try to practice with the pencil in your mouth, it helps you to articulate the words properly.” Heidi told her, taking her bag. “See you tomorrow.”

“But is still early!” Cillian tried to stop her.

“Promised my kiddo to shop new soccer gear.”

Cillian crossed his arms against his chest. “I thought he wanted to be a teacher.”

“When he was six, now he’s a big boy.”

“Thanks Heidi.”

As she waved goodbye, Marianne looked around, feeling so small on stage.

“Don’t let this scare you.” He said softly, she was so transparent, it was almost as if he could read her feelings.

“I feel so… small?” She took a seat on one of the desk chairs, it was only placed on stage to mark the place of one of the tables they would use for the play. “Like this is the last place I should be…”

Cillian recognized the worry in her eyes, she had a lot of reasons to be scared about, English wasn’t her first language, theater wasn’t something she was familiar with, they had only weeks until kick off…

“Let’s take a break.” He proposed with a smile.

Because he also knew the last thing Marianne needed right now, was more pressure.

“But I have a lot of things to learn and”

“Why are you so worried? You will learn everything you need, but not today, nor tomorrow.”

Marianne shuddered. “How can you be this calm? I feel like I have the time against me.”

Walking out of the Olympia Theater, a beautiful day welcomed them as the pair walked down the street.

“This is new.” Cillian pointed at the small but cozy café across the street. “And I’m always nervous about a new project by the way, excited, but nervous.”

“You don’t look nervous.” Marianne pointed out right before a chirpy redhead smiled at them.

“Hello sweethearts, welcome to Alex’s nook, make yourself at home, we’ve got books if you want to read.”

“I think you need to relax a little Marianne, what would you like to drink?”

Looking at the menu, she didn’t want to point out list of things she needed to do, but she really needed to learn the script, work on her warm-up exercises that Cillian already showed her and a million other things… “A flat white, please, this is a lovely place.”

“Oh! Thank you so much, we just moved in to the neighborhood about two months ago.”

“I love everything about this, the music, the vibe, the name is so fitting.” Marianne pointed out looking around.

“Aww bless you! I love it so much, well what can I say if I’m the one behind it, right? Oh, and Alex is not my name, but that’s a story for another day…” She was looking for something in her apron, then she looked at Cillian. “What would you like?”

“A tea, please.”

“We got green, cinnamon with apple, black… oh, here it is.” She giggled and retrieved the pen from above her ear. “

“Black tea please.”

“You guys are new around too.” She asked them politely. She noticed how the pair moved in complete sync. “How did you two meet, lovebirds?”

Mortified, Marianne shook her head. “We’re not a couple.”

But now, the chirpy redhead was the mortified and embarrassed one. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have assumed…” She blushed and apologized one more time.

“We are literally new, starting a new project at the Olympia Theater.”

Her whole face seemed to smile, if that was possible. She was genuinely happy. “Enda was one of my first clients! I guess you should get the VIP client card then.”

“VIP?” Marianne asked confused.

“Yes! The more you visit my café the more freebies you get! I’m still trying to figure out a system, but since you’ll be working so close, I hope you guys come often.”

“We will, thanks.” Cillian thanked her paying for their order, he refused to accept Marianne split the bill.

“She’s so nice and kind, I wish I could have her confidence.”

Cillian looked at her intently. Without even noticing, Marianne had so much of Adria’s character, and that made it all even more scary.

“What makes you think you don’t own those qualities?” He asked her softly from across the table. “I can bet you anything, you have a lot more you don’t even know.”

The way he said it, made Marianne think he could be right. Even if it was for a few seconds.

“But you barely know me.”

“It’s the little things that count the most, Marianne.” Cillian explained as the waiter brought them their drinks. “When we arrived, you saw the delivery guy carrying all of those coffees, and you rushed to open the door for him, I was distracted, I didn’t noticed it at first.”

She seemed to think about it, she did that because she wanted to make it easier for that man to get out.

“All of this goodness is already inside you, you’re tender, noticeable, but you’re also a bomb about to explode on stage.”

“I’ve been dreaming about this particular scene.” She couldn’t help but smile. “When Adria walks to the back of the room, the music stops as the lights go down, then she turns slightly to look at the audience over her shoulder, and smiles. That’s all I see, over and over.”

Cillian felt everything inside him tingle in anticipation.

“You’re what we call in theater a showstopper… and I can see is already burning you alive.”

——

On Sunday morning, Marianne rushed inside the theater, finding it empty. The venue was majestic, one look around was enough to take your breath away.

The red and gold decorations really stood out, the seats, lights, the different levels, the chandeliers added a glamorous effect, which was almost ridiculous, because the theater really held life by itself.

Surrounded by the curtains and the incredible energy the place exuded, Marianne closed her eyes for a moment, trying to imagine how it would look full of people, the lights down. She had been practicing a lot that morning in front of the mirror.

Despite all of her fears and internal battles with herself, taking this chance was all she wanted now.

“Sorry I’m late, I was caught up at home.” Cillian explained as he rushed to the stage. His arms welcomed her in a warm embrace.

“Is alright. Let me just get my script real quick.” Marianne asked walking towards her bag.

But Cillian had other ideas. “You won’t need that today, don’t worry.”

She looked at him confused. How would the do the rehearsal then?

Finding her quizzed face, he smiled, she followed instructions, tried to anticipate to what was expected, he realized.

“I want to start working with something that’s fundamental in theater.” He pushed up the sleeves of his jumper. “Sometimes things can go wrong when you’re on stage, and that’s alright too, a light can go down, someone could stand up from the seat, the wardrobe, someone might forget their lines… the most important thing is you having a solid base to improvise.” He leaned against the high bar and spoke softly, finding a pair of eyes full of expectation, hungry to learn.

“I thought you wanted me to follow the script?”

“You like numbers, right? From what you’ve told me… so yeah you will be following the script 98% of the time, the other 2% I need you to be ready to jump in and keep the dialogue going.” But panic was written all over her face. “Don’t worry, the audience won’t know there was a mistake unless someone tells them,” he the smiled at her, wanting to push her nerves away, “if you don’t tell them, I won’t either.”

That made her chuckle, Marianne started to feel how he could ease the tension so easily.

“So if you’re ready now, tell me a story, whatever you feel up to, I won’t know if you’re lying or not.”

“A story?” Marianne asked perplexed.

Cillian nodded, his hand motioning for her to get closer. “First thing that crosses your mind. Someone who helped you, someone who made your life miserable… You can either act on it, or just tell me as if in a casual chat.”

Taking a deep breath, Marianne felt her palms sweating.

I still don't know what I was looking for

And my time was running wild

A million dead-end streets

Every time I thought I'd got it made

It seemed the taste was not so sweet

“Three girls are at a café, there’s people around them, a high bar with a long table for costumers who are alone, some people are working, sipping on their beverages or chatting. There’s a guy behind them minding his own business.” She looked in the seats direction as she heard a noise.

“Don’t pay attention to that, is just noise, theaters are made of echoes, keep going, what happens with this guy? Let’s call him Adam.” His eyes were looking at her intently.

“Adam is working on his laptop, when he unintentionally listens to what Diane, Gina and Kacey are talking.”

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

Turn and face the stranger

He noticed the way her gaze changed as she used a different voice. “Kacey’s voice got louder as she mentioned how she didn’t like Julia’s new hairstyle, ‘it doesn’t fit her, she just wants people complimenting her.’ But Gina had something else to add, ‘Last week my cousin asked me her number, she had been trying to seduce him for so long, she just wants him because of his father’s business’ and of course, Diane couldn’t keep her mouth shut ‘I didn’t like her hair either, I’m sure she knew I was going to ask for it and she had to go first and months ago she told me she wasn’t interested in your cousin but I didn’t believe her’. Gina shook her head ‘She called this morning to see if I wanted to go with her for breakfast after the gym, she just wanted to brag about something.’”

Just gonna have to be a different one

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

Cillian saw her moving her hands.

“Kacey rolled her eyes, ‘She’s so fake I can’t stand her!’ Adam was intrigued by this Julia and the horrible person she seemed to be. But soon all his questions were answered as another woman joined the group, the conversation immediately changed. ‘I’m so happy to see you all! Diane, I got you the necklace with the initials you couldn’t find.’ Diane’s mouth flew open, she couldn’t believe it. ‘Julia, where did you get it?’ Her arms wrapped around the other girl. ‘A friend of a friend knows the owner of the brand.’ She explained with a smile. ‘You didn’t answer when I called you’ Kacey folded her arms in front of her chest. Julia placed a hand gently on her arm, ‘I talked to my Dad about your boyfriend’s resume, he doesn’t have an open position in his company in his field but he’s asking Human Resources to think about him as soon as they get something. I’ve to go back to the children’s foundation, we got new games and books for them, and we want to take them to the zoo so I’ve been working really late, but we’re celebrating my mum’s birthday next week I’d love to see you girls there… it will be an intimate dinner at home, see you soon! Gina, by the way that blue color suits you so well.’ And with that, Adam saw her leave a bill on the table even though she politely declined the waiter offering her something.”

Marianne stopped walking, and looked straight at Cillian in the eyes., but she couldn’t hold his gaze, so she looked at the empty seats of the theater instead.

“Adam didn’t know this Julia, but he did know that all of her “friends” were saying about her, it wasn’t the truth, it was only a reflection of what those girls saw in her that they didn’t have, what they wanted.”

“What happened to Adam?” Cillian asked, walking towards Marianne.

Her eyes were filled with tears when she looked back at him.

“He walked out of the café moments later, calling Julia, he asked her to be careful as he heard the girls talking shit again about her once she walked out.”

Sitting on the edge of the stage, Marianne saw him mirroring her.

“What about them?”

Taking a deep breath, looked up to the ceiling. Frustration building up.

“She finally opened her eyes and saw something that had always been there, but she refused to see, she decided to keep going without that kind of friendship.”

Cillian took his time to process her words, she exuded emotion through every pore.

Even though Marianne turned around her face away from him, he was able to see a tear rolling down her cheek.

Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

“Sorry if I pulled a sensitive wound.” Cillian apologized rubbing his jaw. “Can I give you a hug?”

He was even more surprised as the words left his mouth, but when he saw Marianne nodding, and moving towards him, he knew it was the right thing to do.

“Pain can be something beautiful too, when you turn it upside down.” Marianne whispered.

Perhaps deep down it was Cillian who needed that hug the most.

Remember this is a slow start, as they are getting to know each other and work on the play, (hopefully you won’t find it boring) ☺️ I’d love to know what you think! It’s what keeps me going xx

🧸👽💝💔🎭🖕😭 for fili savage please, i'll remember to send reese's as a thank you(just keep it away from fili, trust me, we don't want our favorite giant going down)

I know I’ve said this before (at least I think I have), but I always find it funny how a last-minute OC becomes one of my most beloved ones! And I love Fili, too, so I’ll always expect him to be a request when I do one of these prompts!😊

(Don’t worry, Fili will be safe from the chocolate since those Reese’s will go straight into my stomach!😉)

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood

As a child, Fili didn’t have many friends, at least not many friends who weren't also his cousins. Due to being larger than the other kids in his classes, his obsession with plants, and being hospitalized on and off, no one tried being his friend. He did have one really good friend, a best friend, as he loved calling them. Sadly, they didn’t live in Ireland, but the two met when Fili’s friend was visiting Ireland with their family, and they became pen pals. Fili always looked forward to getting their letters and replying to them. The two are still friends to this day, and after Fili moved to the US, they were able to meet again.

👽 A headcanon about a weird quirk of there

He loves singing Irish folk songs. Sometimes, it's just humming, but if he really gets into it, he’ll start singing softly. Fili usually does it when he gets lost in his work, but also to fill the silence around him. Occasionally, he’ll forget the full lyrics, so he’ll just repeat the same line over and over. But it makes him happy so others don’t mind listening to repeats.

💝 A headcanon about their love language

Fili’s love language is acts of affection. He loves doing little things that make people happy and vice versa, even if it's simply cleaning the dish. However, his other way of showing love is through gift-giving, specifically flowers. He loves growing people’s favourite flower(s) and watching people’s happiness when they receive them. He always gives his Starlight new flowers for the special vase in their kitchen, and it's never without a beautiful bouquet.

💔 An angsty headcanon

Fili never thought he would find love. One of his biggest dreams was to find someone to spend the rest of his life with and to start a family with them. And while he did have some good relationships during his early twenties, none ever lasted. Something always brought the relationships to an end, and Fili began to believe he was destined to be alone… But then he met his Starlight, and it was as if the (pun intended) stars had finally aligned, and fate decided it was time for him to meet his soulmate. Eventually, his family would grow, and Fili couldn't be happier. He wishes he could tell his past self not to worry and that everything would work out when the time was right.

🎭 A headcanon about what they lie about

Fili is a very honest man and doesn’t lie much (except about being a Mage, but that’s for obvious reasons). However, one secret he will NEVER admit is that he lied to his parents in high school to attend a party. While they were out of town for the weekend, Fili lied and said he stayed home and studied for exams when they asked him what he did while they were gone. Fili vowed never to tell them that he went to the party since they didn’t like the classmate who hosted it, and besides, he didn’t have fun and left early anyway. Hopefully, they never find out the truth…

🖕 A headcanon relating to anger

While very much a “gentle giant,” Fili can get angry when the situation warrants it or if someone pushes him to anger. His anger is often represented as cold and intimidating as he tries not to yell or get violent. He knows his size is already threatening to others, and even if he’s angry, he doesn’t want to traumatize anyone. But that doesn't mean he won't use it to his advantage when he wants to. If you anger him enough and try to threaten him, Fili WILL put you in your place and make sure you know never to mess with him, his family, or his friends again.

(And he doesn't even need to use magic to do that, but it does help get his point across easier!)

😭 A headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them.

When he was captured by SOMBRA and put under the control of the inhibitor chip, Fili was almost always aware of what was happening around him and what his body was being forced to do. Watching SOMBRA experiment on him, force him to fight their recruits, and being in constant pain caused Fili to start dissociating as a way to try and cope with everything. Even after being rescued, he still dissociates due to his trauma, but thankfully, not as often or for as long.

And that’s a wrap on this batch of Fili headcanons! I know many of my readers are excited for his return in The Conspiracy, so hopefully, this will help with the waiting!

I, Jessica Wolf, basically wrote

A novel book 📖 🙂

Don’t worry 😉, I had fun writing ✍️ this😎:

She was a savage soul. Strong and beautiful. And yet, undeniably broken. Some days she loved people.

Other days, her heart was 🥶 as 🪨. In those moments, All her walls were back up. A fortified city. She was mysterious. Aloof. Melancholy. Other moments, she was Inspiring. She laughed some days. Other days. She cried tears that no one ever saw. They weren’t physical tears. These were the tears 😭 that stayed inside her heart. She is a paradox. Did you ever truly know the real Jessica at all.

Or did you know the Jessica that she only let you see. She wore many 🎭. Emotionally, she put on each one when the occasion was just right. She watched her back constantly. Many days, her heart was truly under 🔒 and 🔑. Most ever see..what I want you to see.

Yes, I have a happy side. I have a sad side. I think deeply. Many days, I just shut down. I become

Numb. I close off my heart. And cry to Jesus. He holds my heart close. Especially in those moments I feel tired and numb.

He reminds me exactly who I am.

I am an Infj personality type. I am a deep thinker. I love romance novels. I love reading mysteries. I love comedies. I love thrillers. I Love forensics sciences books. I love life when it keeps me up on the very tips of my toes.

I love sushi, shrimp, all things seafood.

I love buttery pasta.

I love reading books.

Spending time with Jesus.

Singing.

Some days, I’m a happy soul. Other days, I’m sad.

And right now, I’m looking out at the glorious gorgeous picturesque mountains & scenic views of the hillsides as I write ✍️ this.

One of my other passions is cooking and baking. I absolutely love to make delectable dishes for my wonderful husband and children. The other thing that excites me is-decorating for the holidays in each season.

The fall season and Christmas season is one of my all time favorites. I love looking up Pinterest worthy styles online and in person at hobby lobby. Other times and moments, I shop online. I love finding those sales. You know the ones that just simply make your heart soar and bring a huge smile to your lips. I love beautifying mike and I’s, home. I love

Bringing a spruce of color here and there. I love bringing in the happy and cozy decor. The warm color of light brown colors and soft

Blues. Colors that invoke a feeling of comfort and safety. Simply a peaceful atmosphere w happy setting.

Most importantly, I love speaking to others about Jesus as I sip my cup of coffee ☕️ or a nice steaming cup of tea 🍵.

When I have my gal friends over for a quiet evening, I love playing the hostess as I ask if they’d like some wine 🍷 and cheese 🧀. You know the cute food platter board-that has all the yummy olives 🫒, apples 🍎 🍏. I love blessing others. And, finding a gift 🎁 that Jesus tells me that they’ll absolutely love. I call these moment: God kisses. The moment, Jesus gives me a prophetic word or words for someone and it completely transforms

And changes their entire world. I love buying all sorts of jewelry and cute gifts to go along with prayers time. And glittery Kleenexes, soaking prophetic worship music 🎶 as the presence and the love of Jesus fills the atmosphere.

Once you’ve entered into the presence of God; everything changes here. Hearts are softened. They are made new. One feels absolutely refreshed and happy again. I, just love seeing the gold in others. Highlighting what Jesus shows me

About them. I love treasure h u n t s. I love seeing and hearing what Jesus speaks over them. Jesus is so good.

So. Yes. My passion is showing others Jesus 🙂.

Spending time with Jesus is my happy place.

Ahh. Feeling so refreshed myself even while writing ✍️. Thank

You Jesus for this beautiful and comforting Cathartic word. I needed. This moment. I needed this time. Happiness truly is found in You.

One day. Jesus I can’t wait give you the biggest hug 🤗 ever.

Heaven is going to be glorious

Thanks for reading, friends:)

Jessica. 💕☺️

[hoghtastic]

During his last red carpet appearance, she turned their relationship into a show for Instagram and that’s what she wants the relationship to be. And I think it was pretty embarrassing that he had officially ignored her “my baby” story. And that's why I think she was silent on Instagram and is just waiting for him to post them together or her, like a way to make amends(from Avocado to her), so that she can then fall back into old patterns and post a lot😄

I can't imagine that someone like her would "waste" content like Christmas and NYE for the sake of privacy 😅. I assume that „my December🥹🤍✨“ posts will come or additionally, like the one anon mentioned, diligently edited reels to celebrate 2023 as their year.Instagram and the attention she gets from Alex's fans is far too important for her to suddenly realize that privacy is important and Alex made it a tradition to post a yearly reel with new unreleased content.And with all that careful planning, they should be able to post a kiss that isn't cringe right?! They are actors after all 🎭 at least pretend to have chemistry? Especially since they allegedly read this blog 😉 they should. Oh and „good angles“ of course 🤣

Haha 😆 guess we’ll have to wait for the “My December 🥹🤍✨” post then. 😉
