Just had to save this incredible bit from this video to my blog because it is iconic.
But also, how haven't I seen anyone noticing that parallel before? Charles realizing he can catch Edwin off guard by whispering in his ear and then doing just that at the very end of the show. He is really giving it his all in that final scene, with his pretty convincing smile™ and the little lean on Edwin's shoulder, speaking close to Edwin's ear...

rmr the hq guy that i turned down, he dropped by the office again today and later texted me. long story short he asked me out again and i think he was trying to be funny and confident when he said “you have to compensate for canceling the date last time” and i straight up told him that this line alone was a bad start on his end and he’s not smooth at all and that i don’t owe him anything 💪
#— ai rambles#he panicked at that AHAHAHAH and apologized but i got even more annoyed bc he said ‘oh no. don’t take it so srsly’#are you lowkey calling me hysterical for having boundaries and not tolerating someone that subtly tries to guild trip me for saying no?????#sry for oversharing on dash about the little flirts here and there but men are so amusing#in a derogatory way

I can’t believe Aaliyah wingwoman’d herself towards becoming Cruz’s perfect (wo)man all along.
She was the handsome beautiful dreamer with money. (“Don’t worry. I’ll buy you five more.” I see you, Miss Amrohi.)
She really took to heart Cruz’s description of the perfect (wo)man:
Kind ✔️
Capable ✔️
Stands up for his her beliefs ✔️
Stands up for her ✔️
Looks her in the eye when (s)he speaks ✔️
Oh, this woman was playing the long game. And she succeeded.

thief + landoscar
Oscar doesn’t usually pay any mind to magicians, especially on the side of the road. So it’s a bit of a surprise that this one manages to grab his attention. He’s got curly hair and a bright smile as he asks the woman in front of him if he’s got the right card, holding it out in front of him. When she winces, shakes her head no, he doesn’t fret. The man simply says, “Oh, sorry! I meant this one,” and pulls another card from behind her neck. His wide smile distracts her from her necklace clasp opening and disappearing into the crowd. She laughs good-naturedly along with the crowd, talks with her friends as they move away and on with their day none the wiser. Oscar almost pities her. Then again, ignorance is bliss, and she seems happy enough.
The man's gaze catches next on Oscar, and he gestures him forward with one hand. As he makes his way to the front, the magician shuffles his deck, putting on a show. "What's your name?"
"Oscar."
"Oscar, I'm Lando." Lando reaches his hand forward to shake his. Oscar can almost feel his fingers ghost over the inside of his watch, feeling for the clasp, identifying the best way to open it. "Would you like to play a game with me?"
Well, Oscar's not on a tight schedule, and the man's pretty enough, so. He can play along for a bit. "Sure. What's the game?"
The man explains the game, a mostly generic 'pick a card, any card' type of show, all the while shuffling the deck between them. They proceed with the game, Oscar keeping his eyes on Lando's face. He's sure he notices with the way his lips twitch every time their eyes meet, probably thinking about how easy of a mark he is. Finally, he pulls the card from Oscar's sleeve, presenting it triumphantly first to Oscar, then to the crowd.
Oscar pretends not to feel the watch slip from his wrist as the magician pulls back. Oscar's only taken one step back when he hands the card back to Oscar with a wink, "So you'll remember me."
The change in routine gives Oscar pause before he extracts himself from the crowd. As he's walking away, he flips the card around to find a number written in sharpie. He regards it for a moment before tossing it in the nearest garbage as he passes. He briefly wonders how soon Lando will notice his newly empty pockets as he clips the watch back onto his left wrist.
#24#this is happier than my other idea for this#ive. missed a few days.#i do have something written for tomorrow tho so#landoscar#f1 rpf#writing#drabbles#del dabbles#osctober 2024#flirting pickpocket!landoscar#lando creating a show to pickpocket meanwhile oscars able to blend into any crowd well enough to pick anyone#i imagine landos working w george in this case for the jewels he cant grab subtly (ie. the womans necklace) but pockets wrist jewels (ie.#oscars watch)#meanwhile oscars working w alex whose job is to grab the partners haul (ie. the jewels george collected.)#so maybe alex n george had their own little flirty moment. too bad oscar threw out landos number :(

royalty au!punz only sleeps next to cdream to protect him and it's easier to check on him like that obviously/j
Like OBVIOUSLY c!Punz just takes his job very seriously 🙄 Someone's gotta protect this reckless prince from himself. So what if there's just one bed? Punz can protect him better if he's right there next to him, watching the moonlight illuminate his freckled skin, chest slowly rising with steady breaths, curls of golden blond splayed over the pillow.
And if they start to cuddle, just them in the darkness of Dream's room in a bed far too big for merely two people, no one has to know.
#bubble answers#dreblr#drunz#it's like an open secret bc Punz IS a professional but Dream just does not care what other ppl think#Punz says the prince is 'eccentric and overly affectionate' while Dream not-so-subtly flirts with them in front of everyone lmao#he does it to see how flustered they get but then completely freezes when Punz does it back LOL

Mick: what a show! And all on film. Fantastic. I know just what would make a perfect end to this night. But how can I let them know what I’m thinking? *unzips Charlie’s jacket, turns around and wiggles his butt against Charlie’s front, grabs hold of Keith’s neck*
Mick: That was so smooth. Michael Philip Jagger, you are a master of subtlety.

It’s time to read more about tomb raider! Let them meet again after the almost drowning incident and let there be teamwork fighting against a group of treasure hunters! :D
"Will you stop?!"
Thena - surprisingly - stopped squirming behind his back against her own binds. Her chair stopped rattling against the floor as she stilled. She huffed. "I'm sorry, were you trying to get some sleep?"
He joined her in her frustration. "I just mean conserve your energy. We don't even know how long we've been down here, let alone how much longer we have ahead."
She went quiet, and he was quite sure he was more uncomfortable with it than she was. Thena spoke two languages: yelling, and sass. He was unfamiliar with any quieter sides of hers.
"I'm sorry."
The simple words gave him chills. He whipped his head around but all it did was hurt his neck, and he couldn't even get a glimpse of her anyway. "What?"
"They followed us all the way out here and I had no idea."
"I didn't either," he interjected.
"I was the one who came up with the plans. The next time they come down here, I'll tell them I can guide them, but only if they release you." Now she was really talking crazy.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he grumbled, now starting the game of fruitlessly tugging at his binds again. "You think I'm going anywhere without you?"
"We may not be afforded another option," she bit back, also turning her head. He could feel her ponytail against the back of his neck. "If at least one of us makes it out, there's a chance of escape."
"There's no way you believe that if you cooperate they won't hurt you," he snorted.
"I didn't say I believed that."
He jerked his shoulders, attempting to get a look at her again. The backs of their chairs clanged together, although they were still technically bolted to the floor. What little movement they did get on them was from the general state of the ship's disrepair. "Don't be stupid, Thena."
She didn't even have a scathing retort about him assuming such a thing about her Ladyship.
"Once they come back, we'll reason our way through this." Sure, he didn't totally believe what he was saying either. But it was a better solution than Thena giving herself up as a bargaining chip for his life. "All they want is the bounty, right? Your plans were solid, and I doubt any of them can dive for as long as you can. We'll-"
"Gil."
She was right, there were few options they had which might lead to their escape. They knew the risks, running in the circles they did. There was always a risk.
"You have connections on the mainland," she continued to talk him through things like she was coaching him. "Tell them that they can collect your bounty if they return with you."
Rather then killing them both and leaving them somewhere.
"And what about you?" he just barely dared to ask.
She took a damn long time to answer, twisting his gut all the way around itself. "Karun and Druig always know the risks of our field. They have instructions should I fail to return one day."
Gil scoffed loudly, rolled his eyes, shook his head--all of it. Anything to convey to her just how ridiculous this was. "I am not going to just leave you here, let alone with those-"
"Gil-"
"They slapped you, Thena," he reiterated, since that didn't seem to matter to her as much as it did to him. "They backhanded you across the face. I'm not exactly counting on them to uphold a gentlemanly agreement."
He leaned forward, pulling at the legs of the chair, still bolted to the floor by a couple of rattling brackets.
"It wasn't how I saw our collaborative efforts ending," she tried putting on a lighter tone, as if that would distract him from the gravity of all this. "But I must admit, we make a good team, Gilgamesh."
He huffed, leaning as forward as he could, "don't 'Gilgamesh' me."
"Could we not spend what might be our last time together arguing?"
He paused in his efforts, partly to catch his breath, and partly to twist his neck again. "I thought you loved arguing."
"I love anything at which I can win."
Well, there was the Thena he knew and tolerated.
Her tone changed again, and he felt her hands move from being tightly balled up fists. Her fingers fluttered around, as if searching for his. "But arguing with you was always a byproduct of the job. Your company from the same side is far preferable."
If he didn't know better, he could think she was admitting to some fondness for him. But he did know better, and beyond that, this was not going to be the pre-burial-at-sea confession she thought it was.
"Who said you could talk?!"
The door slammed against the back wall. All the hinges in this place were falling apart. The men filtered into the room, fully armed and just as dark in expression as when they had found them.
Thena glared at them of course. "You didn't gag us. I don't see how you expected us to remain silent."
"Silence might do you some good." The same one who had struck her before raised his hand again, just barely in Gil's periphery.
He jerked in his chair, "don't touch her!"
They all laughed at his noble effort to protect her. The hand changed from an open palm to grasp her chin instead. She jerked back like a caged animal, but he grabbed harder. "Is she your pretty little treasure?"
Thena practically growled at them even with her cheeks smushed.
"That's all you want, right--the artifact we got sent here to find?" he clarified, doing everything but snapping his neck right off his shoulders to try and see what they were doing. "I'll take you, but only if she's unharmed."
"Relax, big guy," another one instructed, even slapping the grabby one's hand away from Thena's face. "The bounty from the artifact is only half of it. There's also the matter of you two."
Thena must have made a face, because they glared at her again. "We have no insurance policies on us, if that's what you're after."
"Not at all, girlie," he chuckled at her. "The museum will pay his ransom, surely. And as for you...you're sitting on an old family estate, aren't you? That will do nicely."
Gil was desperately trying to think of something but if anything, Thena relaxed. He kept his mouth shut though; they hadn't mentioned Druig or Karun, which meant they didn't know about them. They hadn't done reconnaissance on them or anything, they just happened to be their lucky catch of the day.
"You're right, you will guide us to the artifact." The men began gravitating towards the door again, one with his hand already on it. "And when we have it in our possession, then you'll make the ransom call for us."
The grabby one rattled the handle in his grasp. "We might have to rough her up some, just to make it believable."
Gil launched forward. The chair came clean off the floor as he cried out in his rage. He hunched forward, swinging the legs around as a line of defense. He turned, charging at their captors.
His shoulder jabbed into the most dominant one, crushing him against the handle of the door and doing some good damage to his back. He slumped down. He turned as fast as he could, using the legs of the chair to do some damage to the other two.
The grabby one grunted as he got hit in the gut. Gil positioned himself better, throwing himself back and ramming the legs into his shoulders. He screamed at the top of his lungs but Gil did little more than grimace. "Relax, it's not like I stabbed you."
He tried to get a sound out, but the wind had been knocked out of him. Gil looked down at him, holding out at a hand as if to plead for something. Unfortunately for him, that was the hand he'd used to slap Thena, and Gil wasn't feeling particularly forgiving.
Thena winced as he rammed the chair leg into his open mouth. "I never took you for the sadistic type."
But he didn't have a witty retort for her. He knelt down, feeling around the mess of bodies for a knife. "I'm tired of him yapping."
Thena sighed as stood again. "I suppose it's a better option for us. We still don't know how many of them are out there."
"Let's not be tied up when we find out," he groused. He walked back around her. "Got it?"
She did have it, grasping the knife firmly, passed from his hands to hers behind their backs. "You seem confident I won't slice anything essential"
"Like you say, we may not have a better option," he conceded. He strained the ropes tired around him, pulling as Thena attempted to pressure the blade against them. It wasn't a great angle, or a serrated blade. But he continued to pull as she worked, eventually pulling them apart before she could slice through the middle.
The knife clattered to the floor between them.
"Okay," he sighed as he finally pulled his arms around to his front again. They hurt, and usually it would be more ideal to move them slowly. But he swung them around, desperately needing their full range of motion sooner than later. "I've got you."
He worked at Thena's ropes more gently. They were tied tight, but he could see the red irritation in her pale skin more. "Do you know how far out we were when they found us?"
Her ropes snapped apart, and he immediately grasped her shoulders, rolling them forward for her slowly and gently.
"Well, someone was hogging the radar," he commented, and was rewarded with her turning in the seat, skipping over examining her wrists in favor of glaring at him. He grinned, "but I know the jetski you used to get to the boat is still being towed. If we can get to a railing, we can definitely swim under the ship and get to it in time to get outta here."
It wasn't his most risk-free plan, but they both knew the risks--had just gone over them, in fact.
Thena nodded, rubbing her wrists but wearing the usually determined expression he had come to expect. "Lead the way, then."
He planned on it, and not out of some need to protect her or anything. It just made good sense.
They hugged the walls all the way up. He really didn't know how many of them were on board, but he dreaded to think about the possibilities considering the expected crew for any boat this size. He looked over his shoulder and nodded his head.
Thena showed her understanding; they weren't far now.
He held out his hand. She gave him a look but he shook it at her. He wasn't going to let them get separated again. Begrudgingly, she slipped her hand into his. It was cold.
Gil looked both ways before dashing across the deck and to the railing. No life boats, of fucking course. He climbed over the railing while Thena crouched between the top and middle bar. He looked at her. "Ready?"
She didn't reply, but she let her hand give his a squeeze.
"Don't let go." He didn't know why he said it. There was no need, but he held her hand, getting ready to free dive into the water and potentially be chased down like wild animals.
"I won't." That was much more assuring than anything she could have said about them making it. She looked ahead, resuming her usual role of being the one to pull him along.
And despite their rivalry, he would follow her anywhere.
#Thenamesh Tomb Raider AU#thank you for the ask!!!#I hope this feels like that world#that vibe#Thena jetskis out to the boat#like the intro scene for the second movie#and she totally isn't showing off becuase she likes to look badass#definitely not#she and Gil are here to work together to find this thing#and the crew for the ship they hired totally don't say all they do is flirt#or bicker like a married couple#and it's bickering like a married couple not like siblings#how you ask?#because the entire time Thena is in a bikini instead of her diving wetsuit#Gil is hellbent on either avoiding looking at her#or subtly trying to get a towel around her while others are around#he's not here to tell her how she can and can't dress#but some of the crew is checking her out a little too much for his liking#and he doesn't speak the language to tell them to fuck right off#anyway these two are in deep shit#and still bickering#they manage to get away#jet ski back to the mainland#they report the pirates but they have to wait for the proper authorities to handle things#Thena is seen for the bruising on her face and Gil says the enemy fought amonst themselves#not that one of them is missing most of his teeth now because of him#Thena will never forget Gil yelling 'don't touch her'#she is SHOOK#but he doesn't need to know that

Traditional romance and like..."love-at-first-sight" narratives are both weird to me. Like people will just...ask each other out? As complete strangers??? And that works for some people???
Don't get me wrong, I'm attracted to people at first sight, absolutely. I'm a slut to my core, 100%. But are people really out there not getting to know a prospective partner platonically first? How do you even know you like them??? Their fucking shoe size? You don't even know their shoe size! You've never spoken!
I really just think that no one should ever approach a relationship with the intent of making it romantic in the future. Always, always, always, try to be platonic first. If you vibe well, and you try to progress it to a romantic relationship and then they don't feel the same way? Guess what! You get to just fall back into that same platonic rhythm as before. It's a perfect safety net! There's no reason to cry or feel awkward like there would be if they had just outright rejected you and removed themselves from your life entirely because with this method, you get to keep the friends. If the premise for one or both of you was always "Will you date me?" the chances of you guys having a falling out if the advances are refused is exponentially larger.
Just. Don't fucking try. Don't worry about romance, you'll figure it out later, entirely by accident. Just make friends. You'll be happier.
#how are you even going to ask them out in a way that they'll be receptive to??#you gonna try subtly flirting with that autistic baddie?#bestie she will not understand a single bit of what you're saying. she's autistic.#and you would fucking know that if you were friends with her first.#you went out with a guy and he ended up being a nazi? damn that's rough.#if only you could've prevented this outcome somehow.#(granted i suppose if he were a nazi he would think that any attempt from you to make contact with him has romantic/sexual intent)#(so like...all the more reason to pursue people you have longstanding friendships with i think)

Margot asks him wtf happened to his window and he’s like. ‘Oh. Yeah. A stag got caught in it bc of a storm or whatever’
But imagine how fucking funny it would be if he answered honestly???
#“Yeah#Hannibal sent a murderer to kill me.#Then I killed the dude.#‘Fantasized’ about it being Hannibal I was killing.#Then I brought the new corpse to Hannibal’s house and we hid#Hid?#displayed the body together.#And then we not-so-subtly flirted with each other at the crime scene while talking about the killer#But we’re good now!”#hannibal nbc#hannigram

i love the remus, lily, regulus trio so much. but also i feel so bad for remus.
lily and regulus would talk about james so much. they'd gossip about everything he does, talk about how annoying he is with his stupid talents and pretty face. but they hate him. totally.
and remus is just there like "yes james is very pretty and talented and annoying and full of himself. now can we either get on with our work or talk about sirius for once??"
#not to mention regulily. regulus and lily subtly flirting with each other and remus is just unsubtly banging his head on the table#lily and regulus: blushing and complimenting each other#remus: shutupshutupshutup#marauders era#marauders#remus lupin#lily evans#regulus black#jegulily#regulily
