#thank you eddie amiright??

buck having last minute nerv before the wedding

Buck is so full of nervous energy, his body is practically buzzing with it. He knows Eddie’s growing worried, as he watches Buck pace up and down the room, afraid he’s going to tear through the floor. Buck’s got his tux on, blue like Tommy’s eyes, curls softly styled, and he’s wearing the cologne Tommy loves. He can’t believe he’s half an hour away from walking down the aisle to his man.

“Look, bud, I don’t know if it’s cold feet,” Eddie finally breaks the tense silence, “but I gotta say, if that’s the case, I’m not gonna help you run away.” He winces but remains steadfast, willful enough to look Buck in the eye. “Tommy’s my friend, too.”

Buck would be a little insulted if he wasn’t also touched by Eddie coming to Tommy’s defense, even though he really doesn’t have to. The thing is, Buck has the furthest thing from cold feet. He’s excited, he realizes. He can’t wait to be married and the second thing is, what he needs is to see Tommy, superstitions be damned. That’s right, he said it. Or thought it, more accurately.

“Ok, rude! Some kind of best man, you are,” he teases, pushing Eddie’s shoulder. “And I don’t have cold feet, thank you very much. I just- I need to see him, Eddie.” He’s pouting, but he doesn’t care.

“Buck, you’re literally seeing him in,” Eddie checks his watch, “28 minutes. Besides, you know it’s bad luck to-“

“Yeah, yeah, don’t care. I’m just gonna,” Buck points to the door. “Real quick.”

“Jesus, Buck!” Eddie throws his hands up, then pinches the bridge of his nose, clearly trying to be the sensible one, here. “Ok. Ok, wait here. I have an idea.”

Before Buck can reply, Eddie’s sprinting out the door. He decides to give him exactly one minute before he goes to find Tommy. At the 45 second mark- yeah, he’s counting- there’s a knock at the door.

“Buck?” Eddie. “I have someone for you. But you gotta stay on your side of the door, okay? No peeking.”

Buck feels like his heart’s about to burst. He really wants to see Tommy, but he supposes he can compromise. “Okaaay, I promise,” he huffs impatiently. He hears Tommy snicker from behind the door, as he gets closer.

“Behave, sweetheart,” Tommy chastises, gently. “Can you be good for me and I’ll open the door just a crack? I wanna hold your hand.”

Oh, how well his fiancé knows him, knows what he needs, how to quiet his racing thoughts.

“I’ll behave, promise!” He’s grinning now, the buzzing lessening bit by bit.

The door opens just enough for Tommy to slip one hand through and Buck grasps it immediately. Judging by the slight moisture on Tommy’s hand, he needed this too.

“Sweaty hands, baby?” He’s settled enough to give Tommy a little shit, now.

“For you? Always.”

Buck can almost taste the smirk on that handsome face.

“Ready to do this thing?” Tommy whispers, voice laced with the same awe and excitement Buck feels.

“With you? Always.”

Make a ranking of all the characters you like to write the most, have the most ideas for, find the characterization easiest, etc.

I love you ❤️

Ooh interesting! These defo change all the time (espcially the ones at the top) but this was fun, thank you! Love you too <3

Remus tends to come the easiest to me, I think because he's rather consistent and also versatile, he's always felt complex enough to me to be in many scenarios without it feeling ooc

Sirius I think I also have a pretty clear picture of most of the time, but he also has a bit more rigid of a personality so I can't always just cram him into any scene and make it work

James (the marauders are my top three haha, who's surprised) I love writing for so much, but I think my original idea of him was actually quite oversimplified, so sometimes I still struggle to put his flaws under a magnifying scope and make him display them

Steve is fun because I think he can change a lot depending on how comfortable he is in his relationships, so I like to play with how he acts at the beginning of a relationship versus deep in domesticity

tasm Peter is just my soft funny sweetheart, I don't know how my characterization of him came to feel so solid honestly considering there aren't that many films but his lightness is fun to write and he's also just so sweet

Lily I feel like I'm still getting to know, I love writing her when an idea feels right but she's not instictive to me yet, probably in large part because she's not included in lots of the marauders media I consume (patriarchy amiright (also my fault)) and also just because similarly to James I've sometimes struggled to separate her from the oversimplified version of her character that I was initially introduced to

Spencer is so much fun because he's so unique, but I think that sometimes also makes me doubt whether I'm portraying him accurately. Sometimes I have to watch the show to remember how exactly he speaks haha, and also picturing him in a years-long relationship where he's totally domestic is another thing entirely

Carmy I also think is this very complex and unique character, who I also sometimes have to recall specific parts of the show to feel like I'm getting right

Robin is sososo cool and I want to write more of her but I do struggle to write her as fully comfortable because her character can be so (adorably) awkward and that's hard for me to balance with her being at ease

Eddie gives me such a hard time lately, I think I was maybe feeling more solid about him when I started writing on here and I still like him a lot but we got so little of him in the show that I often doubt whether I'm drawing on anything real

flash finale finally watching

Of course, Allegra get’s the first line in this last episode.

And then Cecile, way to stay consistent post season six Flash.

Teddy Sears, oh man, you had a career before this show.

Godspeed I forgot you were a guy.

Zoom’s suit looks better.

Comparing Season one and twos’ plots is kinda sad.

Forgetting Savitar is Barry will be a thing I do this entire episode.

Eddie’s costume should have a stupid mask.

Barry and Iris together really shows how much this show has aged them and their actors. Humbling.

“I’m not Eddie Thawne anymore, I’M BLUE BLUE!”

I miss Sue.

The lightning stuff looks so bad.

Hell, yeah, blow up those cars!

I think one of the most egregious scenes this show ever did was have The Flash, Elongated Man, Killer Frost, and Vibe all lined up together to fight the Thinker. It really shows the bloat. This scene of Team Flash vs Evil Speedsters might’ve just topped it.

I thought Savitar was blue.

Cecile fighting Godspeed is exactly what it is. It’s dumb.

That’s how easily Savitar got taken down?

This is going longer than the Savitar fight. It’s dumb.

“Sorry, Chester, I’m here for Cisco, but Carlos wasn’t available and they didn’t feel like rewriting the script.”

Tom, what are you doing with your hands?

I didn’t think Zoom had lightning power.

Zoom got taken down too easily.

Oh, right, Nash.

Have to wonder about the version where Chester is killed off.

Wally and Chester could’ve been great friends.

Jay kinda shows up out of nowhere.

Red skies.

“He’ll overload himself like Thawne!” Just like last season! Essentially. :/

Is Chillblaine just leftover Ralph stuff?

Oh, Grant actually wants to act today.

SO that easy to stop him, huh? Actually that’s kinda nice.

BABY TIME!

I think my recording just gave up. The CW, amiright?

Out of all the Flash runs to borrow stuff from, the latter Williamson run? Legion of Zoom reference - fr?!

How do you have data for that statistic, Chillblaine?

Yay! Dwayne McDuffie reference.

Joe’s here, oh good, some heart.

Thinker reference. And none for Cicada, bye! The worst villain IMHO, the worst.

I like this Harrison Wells.

So she was Gaea. Essentially.

BABY NORA!

Wow, Candice is a phenom in this scene!

Joe’s a Granddad!

Bye, Khione! Still, what an odd choice for a final season.

I knew Caitlin was coming back - that got spoiled. Nice, I guess.

I wasn’t not rooting for that I guess.

Distracted by Barry’s not-parents chatting in the background. This scene was done for this cast.

Bart can’t be here - he’s singing on Broadway.

Joanie got erased in Crisis I guess.

This proposal is so dumb. Cecile, you need friends your own age.

The Runaway Dinosaur. :’)

I do like the idea of Barry talking to Nora and it’s the initial voiceovers from season one.

Montage time!

Barry being the lightning for other speedsters is nice.

Avery! Max! Jess! Gee, I wonder if there were ever any plans for you?

Okay, got me a little in the end.

So, when this show was about the Flash it was great. When it’s about all the superfluous Team Flash characters it’s mostly DOA.

I’ll miss it at times, but I don’t I’ll seek it out.

This show did get me interested in the Flash and the surrounding characters in a way Arrow didn’t and certainly Legends of Tomorrow didn’t.

When this show was good - it was good!

Thanks, Flash.

Seven children grew up and left their childhood behind, left their friends and loved ones to become dust in the wind. They were all so close once, brought together by an indescribable tragedy and a monstrosity that haunted the underbelly of Derry, Maine.

Such a shame they all forgot - all but one, who invoked their promise to return if It did too.

Lisa Snart is Richie Tozier & Caitlin Snow is Eddie Kaspbrak.

Things I’ve learnt while binge watching Hawaii Five 0 during lockdown...part 4

17.  Until this COVID19 enforced Hawaii Five-0 binge watching, I had only vaguely known Alex O'Loughlin as Holly Valance’s boyfriend

Forgive me - but I didn’t really make the link between this fairly standard shaggy haired Aussie male circa the early 2000′s....

With this guy....weird, right?  Amazing what a decent haircut will do.

Also - unlike say a Hemsworth, Bana or Crowe - his American accent is pretty decent.

18. The gag reels are to DIE For.

As with any great love affair/obsessive compulsive behaviour the research spiral is long and deep...this is my favourite combo of gag reels simply because it’s McDanno centric and for the ‘what’s the line, what’s the line, WHAT’S the line’ at 1:22, the commentary on the seatbelts at 2:45 and ‘Is there anybody out there? We’re going from the top yeah’ at 3:33.  Yeah, welcome to the rabbit hole.

There’s more here:

https://www.alexoloughlinonline.com/hawaii-five-o-blooper-and-gag-reels/

19. The show is 7 kinds of problematic - but I can’t stop watching it.

ASIDE:  My mother watches this show - and now, thanks to COVID19, I’ve turned into my mother.  

How problematic is this show? So many dumb plots...

I have to defuse this nuclear device to save the world - babe, strap a car battery to my chest for protection.

A freakin Soviet submarine rocked up in HNL bay and only I can solve the crime and save international relations.

I solved the unsolvable case from 1941 in a dream - and I was my grandfather????

I rescued my Smol and friends by picking up the whole house with my helo.

But then, so many good episodes, that covered some important themes...

Japanese Internment Camps during WW2

Veteran’s return

Hawaiian sovereignty

Sex trafficking

So many stoopid characters...

The follicly challenged recurring Sang Min - stoopid but enjoyable

Kono leaves but this guy gets to see Season 10???? WTF Hirsch???

These two - WHHHHHY???  So unnecessary and so poorly handled.

This guy - ugh - JOE “I know all the secrets AND I’m not telling you for your own safety but I will say enough that you end up not trusting me and then I will tell you everything and die in your arms because your whole freakin life hasn’t been traumatic enough!’ WHITE. Ugh - the worst!!

And then not enough of these awesome characters....

Can I have a whole show about Mary & Joan and how they come back to Hawaii and live with Uncle Steve and turn his life upside down?

I kinda need the whole Navy dad and Nahele storyline like I need air to breathe - amiright? 

If we are having Mary & Joan then we need Bridget as well - and I love Missy Peregrym!  Are all Danno’s siblings taller than him?

Steve should have got an Eddie in Season one!

Loner // IT 2017 Chapter Three

Tesla - Love Song

So You Think That It's Over

That Your Love Has Finally Reached The End

Any Time You Call, Night Or Day,

I'll Be Right There For You If You Need A Friend

//

It was a usual Friday scene. This particular 1993 episode was spent on my red sofa in our sexy-satin-silk-sleepwear, watching Kubrick's Lolita. "Uck, that is just disgusting! How could you write this filth?" Kali scowled, leaning back on the sofa. I shrugged,"I can see the beauty in it. At least he loved her." She scowled animatedly at me. We both laughed, turning back to the movie.

We had matching silk sleepwear, mine red, hers black. Short shorts and crop top; it could considered "sexy" but we thought we looked grown-up. We were sixteen, and knew we looked grown-up. We had been to my brother's college parties before, and the guys there, had thought we were legal age.

"Y'know who I would love to be Lolita to?" Kali asked, turning toward me,"My brother?" She scoffed,"No, listen! I would love to fall in love with Brad Pitt! He is so dreamy!" Kali smiled, clasping her hands over her heart. I rolled my eyes,"You're such a superficial bitch." "You know it." She smirked. "If I were to fall in love with a man...it would have to be for his heart and nothing else. I want a guy to sing me old loves songs, y'know? Like Elvis, and Stevie Wonder. A guy to sing me the Beatles. Oh god, maybe even Marvin. Oooh, of Al Green!" I smiled, dream-like wonder filling my eyes. "

Hellooooo, earth to Danielle?" Kali waved her hand in front of my face. "Uh, sorry." I laughed, embarrassed with my actions. "I know you love all that old music. I'm sorry, I just can't. I never found the beauty." She looked genuinely upset with the fact she couldn't boogey to some Marvin. "It's okay, at least you like Zeppelin, right?" "Yeah, but everyone likes them. They're hot. White hot!" She smiled. I laughed,"Sure are. God, Jimmy Page! Whatta' hottie, amiright?"

"Oh yeah! But, let's discuss boys we actually have a chance with." "You're right." I nodded. "Eddie Cocran?" Kali cracked, a hearty laugh erupting from her small frame,"Oh god no." She was still laughing when I smacked her arm. "Don't be rude!"

"Alright, alright, let's be real. Michael Nick?" Kali asked, setting the bowl of popcorn between us. "Hmm...maybe for you." I grabbed a piece of popcorn, taking a nibble from the fluffy kernel. "But doesn't he have a small...y'know..." We both laughed as she had before, but even harder. "No, I haven't heard." I wiped a tear from my left eye.

"What about Bill Denbrough..?"

I'm not an idiot. I know how things work. Kali and I dress up and do our makeup all pretty, and the guys try to fuck us. Everyone either wanted to be us, or do us. And I'm not trying to sound stuck-up, but that's how it is.

But, I'm also not stupid. I like literature, I like science, I love astronomy and social Biology. Plus, I've been an honor roll student since like...birth. I'm not putting on a front, I love to wear pretty clothes and talk to boys. But, I often find myself intimidating a guy when I open my mouth. I've learned from the best: Don't be an idiot; act stupid.

Kali's rules for picking up a guy were simple:

1. Don't make yourself seem smarter than the guy

2. Don't go for someone smarter than you

3. Stroke his ego

4. Pretend to care about whatever he says

5. Don't go for an ugly guy

If you followed these rules, you were guaranteed to go home with a guy. Kali wasn't like a Heather or anything, she cared. We really were best friends. But, we both knew we couldn't get what we wanted without ground rules. We never let anything happen to the other person that they didn't want to.

"What about Bill Denbrough..?" Kali asked, turning toward me. "Oh...I don't know..."

That was a lie. I did know. He was insanely hot, and he was chief of the News Letter board. His essays were evocative and intelligent, while not appearing dry or boring at all.

"Oh come onnnnnn, he's prefect for you! He loves books, and that writing stuff you love so much. And I'm sure he stays at home with his little brother and book. Maybe even has a drink with his mother." She joked, rolling her eyes. "I think it's sweet when a guy has a good relationship with his mother." "I do too. But Bill...he's not my type. Now, Billy Cordan, he's my type. Strong, nice hair, plays sports."

I rolled my eyes. "Girl, you know you wanna get it on with my brother. And, don't deny it! I've seen the way you stare at those college boys, it's like they're wild antelope and you're a hungry mother lion trying to feed her hungry cubs." Kali laughed fleetingly at my poor attempt at humor. "You should joke more often, you're a born natural." She joked.

"Thanks Kal." I was distracted by the lewd scene being displayed before me. Kali was right, this movie is filthy.

"Oh," Kali spoke as the final moments of the movie played,"I forgot to tell you, but there's this party tomorrow night, I was wondering if you'd be up to go." I thought it over. "Sure. Why not."

Sorry this sucks. I wrote it about a year ago. The story gets much better!!

A Chance (2/4)

Summary-Eddie has a crush on the reader but he thinks that she doesn’t know he exists and doesn’t have a chance because he’s in the Losers Club.

Pairing- Eddie Kaspbrak x Reader

Warnings- Fluff?, a few curse words

Word Count- 1435

A/N- Hello my little balloons🎈🎈. I’m sorry this part took longer to post. I wasn’t feeling well recently but I’m back and better. There are a few things I think I should inform you guys with. 1) I’ve changed the ages of the Losers Club because they are like 13. So in my story they are like 15. 2) The reader is a year older which makes them 16. 3) Pennywise doesn’t exist in my story sorry. And can I just say, that I was not expecting so many people to like part 1. Thank you so much❤️

Master List

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Finale Bonus

Y/H- your height Y/H/C- your hair color Y/E/C- your eye color

Recap- You thanked him and looked back at Eddie,”Well I’ve got to get going, but don’t be a stranger. Call me sometime. I’d love to hangout with you more.” You gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking down the aisle, exiting the store. Eddie finally realized what he said and what just happened. He thought he was gonna die right then and there. He looked at his cast, looking to the V and noticed there was something else written under the word. Eddie shifted his arm and saw that you had signed your name.

-Y/N xoxo

Eddie’s chance just got much higher than he’d ever expect and he couldn’t be more happier.

Yesterday was the happiest day a 15 year old boy’s life. So, naturally he wanted to tell his friends what happened. It was the end of the day for school.Eddie couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday’s events. You had actually talked to him and you wanted to hang out with him! Despite accidentally spilling that he liked you. When Eddie approached the group of boys, he just caught what Richie was saying,”I’m telling you, the summer fucking did her well. She got even hotter.”

“Who is Richie talking about this time?”, Eddie joined the group.

“Y-Y/N”, Bill filled him in.

“What happened to your cast?”, Ben noticed some red on Eddie’s cast but Eddie didn’t seem to hear him.

“What about her?”

“Other than the fact that she’s smokin’ hot and you don’t have a chance.” Eddie scoffed,”You don’t have one either Richie.”

“My chances are higher than yours”. They both keep going back and forth until..…”I saw her yesterday!”, that sentence stopped the whole thing and the group of boys looked at Eddie with wide eyes,”And she talked to me!”

As if Richie’s eyes didn’t look big enough with his glasses, now they looked like they were going to pop right out his fucking head. “I’m sorry, are we still talking about the same Y/N here? Y/H. Y/H/C hair. Y/E/C eyes. That’s a year older than us and got even hotter over the summer?! That Y/N?!”

“There’s only one Y/N, Richie! And yes, Y/N L/N talked to me yesterday!”

“I call bullshit!”

“Sorry Eddie, I’m having a hard time believing she talked to you and vice versa”, Stan rubs the back of his neck.

“D-don’t you have a cr-crush on her?”, Bill still looking at Eddie. His face turns a little red while nodding. And just like that Richie’s attitude changes,”Let’s be honest here, I’m sure we all have a crush on her. AmIright boys?”. Richie raises his hand waiting for somone to high-five him only for Stan to push it down.

“She wrote on my cast. That’s the only proof I have”, Eddie lifts his cast to show his friends your signature.

-Y/N xoxo

“She’s the one who wrote the V over the S”, Eddie looks up at Ben to show him that he did hear his question from earlier. The five boys examine his cast.

“Well, it’s definitely not his handwriting”, Ben concluded.

While the boys were still looking at Eddie’s cast, they didn’t notice Beverly saying goodbye to you and walking over to them. Beverly noticed them huddling around Eddie,”What are you losers doing?”. Mike and Ben separated enough for Bev to join the circle.

“L-looking at Eddie’s c-cast,” Bill informed her. Bev looked at his cast and saw what they were looking at.

She smiled,”That’s cute. She didn’t tell me she did that,” Beverly pointed to the V. All the boys looked at her shocked and confused. She looked back at them,”What? Y/N did that, didn’t she?”, gesturing to Eddie.

“How you know that?”. Bev shakes her head,”You forget, I’m friends  with her and she tells me things. By the way, I invited her hang out with us at the Quarry tomorrow.”

That almost made Eddie pass out. He remembered how he and the boys looked at Beverly the first time she went to the Quarry with them. Just imagine the reaction when you show up.

“You invited the hottest babe ever to hang out with us?! Are you out of your fucking mind!!”, Richie’s reaction was somewhat expected.

“She won’t hang out with us. We’re the Losers Club”, Stan trying to be realistic. “Yeah Bev, just because Y/N hangs with you doesn’t mean she’ll hang with the rest of us”, Ben agreed with Stan.

“She wouldn’t want to get dragged down with us”, Mike agreeing with them.

“Come on guys, you don’t seriously believe that?”, Beverly crosses her arms. “Eddie, she talked to you yesterday. She wasn’t a bitch or didn’t try to ignore you. Your cast proves it!”

Even Eddie was having some doubts that you’d show. I mean you weren’t necessarily popular but most definitely higher in the food chain than them.

“All of you owe me five bucks if she shows up”, with that Beverly went to her bike and rode home. The boys looked at each other.

“You don’t think she’ll really show, do you?”, Stan doubted.

“If she does, it’ll be the best day of my life”, Richie sighed,”To see Y/N in a bathing suit….that’s a sight that’ll turn a boy into a man.”

“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see “, Eddie shrugs then says bye to his friends. He wouldn’t admit it but hearing how Richie talks about you makes him jealous. Then one by one they rode their bikes home.

You had just finished putting things away in your locker when Beverly walked up to you.

“I’m so happy it’s Friday”, you say closing your locker and facing her. “Me too, I don’t think I could’ve survived another day till the weekend”, Bev rolled her eyes and smiled. “Do you have any plans?”, she asked you as you both walk out the school. You shook your head, “not really.” This gave Beverly an idea,”Me and the boys are going to the Quarry tomorrow. You wanna come?” You looked at her a little surprised. You had talked about wanting meet her friends but now…you were nervous.

“Uh I don’t know Bev. what if they don’t like me?” I mean yes, you already met Eddie but that was by chance.

“Oh trust me, they’ll like you. I mean look at you, you’re fucking hot. Plus you said you met Eddie and I talk about them a lot so it’s not like I’m throwing you to the wolves. You practically know them Y/N, you just need a face to go with their names.” You were still thinking about it. She was right, Bev talks about them so much that you feel like you already know them. That’s how you knew it was Eddie you saw yesterday. By now you were already at your bike, Bev was just waiting for an answer.

“Come on Y/N. Please”, she gave you those puppy eyes and you knew were done, even though you already had made up your mind.

“Ok yes, I’d love to go.”

“Great! So I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Definitely”, you hugged Beverly then got on your bike. You watched her walk towards a group of boys. You assume they were the infamous Losers Club. It looked like they were surrounding Eddie. You smiled at him even though he doesn’t see you. You thought he was cute. And even though he’s a year younger than you, you couldn’t help but think that maybe there could be a chance.

Hey hey maybe you don't ship romantically (although this ask encompasses brotps too) but what are your Flash ships

I do indeed ship romantically, Charlai my friendAnd what better ships can one find than the ones on everyone’s favorite superhero soap opera: THE FLERSH(doggone it, Self, you can never answer something short and to the point, can you?)I ship–first and foremost–Snowbarry. Which is Barry/Caitlin, to be clear. I find it’s just…a much better story romantically than Westallen. But don’t hear me hating Iris or Westallen. I totally don’t. Whatever makes CareBare happy, amiright?

But yes, we here at Doverstar’s Tumblr are very pleased with the potential that is Snowbarry and shipped it nearly from episode 1, despite Candice Patton being excellent and Barry loving Iris so obviously from the get-go. In summary: I like to say that Barry and Caitlin are each other’s own personal superhero. I can elaborate but I’m not gonna cuz it’s late and I’m dead inside, hahaaaaaaaa

I don’t hate Westallen or Iris, as aforementioned, but I don’t squeal over them onscreen, I just go, aw, that’s nice, and wait for the scene to pass. I just prefer Snowbarry. It’s all gooding in the pudding

Other Flash ships include Henry/Nora, (even if they’re both dead now, hey, at least they’re finally together again) Stein/Clarissa (yay old people in love) and Eddie/Iris. Because Eddie deserved better than what he got and Iris loving him came as no surprise to me; he was delightful. And I know Captain Canary is technically a Legends of Tomorrow ship, but I’ll throw it in here, cuz whatever.

My brotp will always be Cisco and Barry.

And I almost clicked ‘Post’ before I remembered, ayyyy, I ship Savisnow as well. Savisnow is Savitar/Caitlin, because SPOILER ALERT Savitar is a copy of Barry Allen and it totally works, and I’m currently writing about it in a fanfic thing. Also, with two Barry Allens, everyone wins! WE CAN STOP FIGHTING I HAVE BROUGHT PEACE she whispered as the sounds of bloody ship wars continued to rage behind her

Thank you, my friend, your asks always bring me huge gasps of delight. You rock. What are your Flash ships, if any?

Ada’s Top 20 Films of the 2010′s

2010 seems long ago. It was the year when Netflix, previously a mail order DVD rental operation, launched its streaming service and changed our TV/movie consumption forever. Originally known for old favourites and terrible in-house productions, Netflix and its competitors such as Amazon Studios have gone on to become award season contenders in just a few short years. The functions of film festivals and movie theatres have shifted due to streaming services’ enormous effects. This decade also saw the warp up of some beloved sagas and series on the big screen - from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy to Harry Potter (more on those later!) Then there was an entire Star Wars Trilogy and end to a saga, which, love or hate it, was something many of us have been literally waiting our whole lives for. Throw in some Marvel at every turn, and an assuring expanse into the exploration of LGBTQ+ subjects, toss out Harvey Weinstein, and I think you have a reasonably accurate summation of film in the 2010′s. Something else close to my heart that unfortunately also fell to the wayside this past decade is Hong Kong cinema.  Once famed for slick neo noir style action with an eye-popping blend of gun play and kung fu, the genre has died to a trickle as the Chinese film industry evolves. Without (much) further pre-amble, here is a list of my top 20 films of the 2010′s, chosen based on personal preference, and what I perceive to be cultural/technological/cinematic significance, presented in no definitive order...

The Social Network (2010) I talk about the things that were different at the start of the decade, and Facebook was certainly one of them. Although still a top contender in the social media minefield, at the beginning of the decade Facebook was king. From the cinema perspective, this was also a David Fincher directed, and Aaron Sorkin written film.  These credentials aside, the film was additionally recognized for its editing, soundtrack, and transforming Jesse Eisenberg from the “poor man’s Michael Cera” (and what is Michael Cera doing these days again??) to a formidable dramatic talent. Altogether was a way to immortalize Mark Zuckerberg on screen eh? Inception (2010) Brace yourselves, I will tell you now that the 2010′s was the decade of Christopher Nolan for me. I didn’t realize until I compiled this list, that starting with this mind-bending thriller, every film he made this decade is right up there for me. Aside from its story, the stunning visuals, and pacing, Inception was cleverly tied together to give me one of the most unforgettable movie going experiences this decade. The Artist (2011) The best kind of homage here, and reminder that story and performance are what make up a good film. Is this an Art House film? Sure, but the story transcends even words, it’s a celebration, and a love story not just between two characters but to cinema itself.

Hugo (2011)

And speaking of celebration of cinema, does anyone really do it better than Martin Scorsese? In this case, an homage to a forefather of motion picture wrapped in the ultimate feel good family film. Seeing Melies’ films within a film, the automatons, and the blend of history and fantasy, make you believe. When asked to name a good family film, I often name this one. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) The final film of the series and also my favourite chapter. Deathly Hallows is a good example where the 2-parter turns out to be a good idea rather than a mere cash grab (as in the case Twilight).  It set a precedent showcasing the benefits of a longer story format that is enhancing for the story. Also, the Battle of Hogwarts, how do you get enough? Amiright? Super 8 (2011) 2011 was really the year of terrific family films. J.J. Abram’s Super 8 was no exception.  It was through Super 8 that I was introduced to Abram’s sense of adventure and wonder through his characters.  This was also Steven Spielberg produced adding to its positive attributes. When Abrams made Star Wars: The Force Awakens later in the decade, I was thrilled he was at the helm based on my love for Super 8. Moonrise Kingdom (2012) A different family film by Wes Anderson, and also one of the most endearing love stories told on the big screen this year. His follow up The Grand Budapest Hotel was also a contender for my best of the decade list but ultimately the unconventional young couple in Moonrise Kingdom versus the flagrantly over the top romantic gestures in Grand Budapest helped me make my choice.  Still, both are visually spectacular. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Christopher Nolan film #2 and the close out to the best Batman trilogy. While a certain level of campiness has come to be associated with preceding Batman offerings, Nolan and Christian Bale did something different and in turn won over a lot of new audiences for the superhero genre.  While you can’t turn these days without bumping into a Marvel, etc. production, I think the quality of superhero films was raised leaps and bounds this decade and much of it in thanks to Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy which began in the decade before. Dallas Buyers Club (2013) Oscar accolades (and Jennifer Garner) aside, Dallas Buyers Club by Canadian filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallee told a important story and told it well. It also brought Vallee’s work to a larger scale audience than any of his previous projects, giving him the attention he so very much deserves. From set design to story to acting, I truly believe this was one of the best films of the decade.

The Theory of Everything (2014) I may be partial to biopics but there’s no denying the venerability of Stephen Hawking, and Stephen Hawking as portrayed by Eddie Redmayne... well, there are no words! Boyhood (2014) When I first began compiling this list, Boyhood was one of the first few films to come to mind. Aside from being directed by one of my favourite filmmakers Richard Linklater (who was also featured in my 2000′s list with Before Sunset - which I argue is still the best of the trilogy) it was also a very ambitious undertaking as a filmmaker.  It’s my hope that the significance of Boyhood isn’t diminished in the age of digital aging/de-aging technologies, to do something like this organically is a labour of love. To commit to a project that spends 12 years in production is firstly insanity, but then to have a finished product that ties so seamlessly together in a tale of family, life, and love. Who knows if this will ever be done again? Interstellar (2014) Christopher Nolan film #3. I’m not as into movies about space and time travel as I was as a teenager/young adult, so I’m of the belief that while I still watch a fair amount of them, fewer and fewer truly stand out. When it came to explore this decade’s offerings, Interstellar and First Man were the only two even worth mentioning to me.  The latter was more traditionally biopic-ish, though well told, and I maintain has the best soundtrack of 2018. Interstellar on the other hand had other thought-provoking layers (as I have come to expect from Nolan). What We Do in the Shadows (2014) And now for something completely different! What would life be like if Taika Waititi didn't make films? Mankind has been telling stories since the beginning of time so it’s understandingly hard to come up with truly original stories after thousands of years, and yet... Taika Waititi does it!  Seriously though , What We Do In the Shadows was the single funniest film I’ve watched this decade. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) If What We Do in the Shadows was the funniest movie of the decade, then Mad Max: Fury Road had to be hands down the most intense, non-stop, adrenaline rush thriller. Again, I watch a lot of this stuff and find myself largely disillusioned or unimpressed with most of what’s out there.  Sure, I love the Avengers movies, and I’m always up for gratuitous violence but so few of these films will make me stop everything that I’m doing and stay rooted on the spot for the entire film - which I can recall distinctly is what happened when I put on this film on in early 2016. The Hateful Eight (2015) Westerns aren’t my cup of tea, but it’s common knowledge that Quentin Tarantino certainly is. When it came time to choose a QT film for my list, and we all know that’s exactly how I went about it.  Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood was never even a contender, it was between Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, overall I appreciated the simple (but elaborate!) set up of a cast of questionable characters in a cabin that kept me entranced for near 3 hours just listening to them talk. Straight Outta Compton (2015) Ok, there’s a clear nostalgia factor in play here, but Straight Outta Compton was also straight up good storytelling, coupled with a badass soundtrack. I didn’t give it much thought until later, but there’s also a certain level of accessibility in the storytelling, it was a film that was made for a wide audience without sparking disdain from dedicated members of the rap/hip hop community (not much significant backlash that I'm aware anyway... As someone who’s been devoted to certain subcultures, I can vouch this is entirely a possibility.)

Blue Jay (2016) Who has no idea what film this is? Hint: go watch it on Netflix. In the 2000′s I included Conversations with Other Women in my top 20 list, I feel like Blue Jay is my 2010′s equivalent.  Not that I was looking for an equivalent but I have an appreciation for unforgettable stories about the undeniable attraction between two people who have previously had a failed relationship with each other. It's Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass on screen the entire time, and it's completely engrossing.  Not an easy feat, not appreciated by many, but glorious to me. Call Me By Your Name (2017) This is my Ghost World of the 2010′s, not because the content is at all alike, but because it’s the only movie I watched repeatedly, and the only book in history that I’ve read twice in a single month. Some stories just touch you, this one did. Factor in the brilliant performances, the exquisite writing, beautiful settings, music, and every intricacy that together made up the whole film.  I only wish I had more pretty words to give it a proper description but I will never come close to what Andre Aciman and James Ivory and Luca Guadagnino put on screen. Dunkirk (2017) Christopher Nolan film #4. Dunkirk was the first film I thought of when I started to make this list.  It seemed so obvious. While I said I wasn’t ranking these Top 20 films of the decade, if hard pressed, I would put Dunkirk at the top. Not merely a good historical drama, this was a technical achievement. There’s a lot of articles out there about how a special plane was refitted to house the camera, you can read those online. What I think needs to be mentioned more often is astounding sound mixing and design in Dunkirk.  It’s so good, and I’ve been privileged to see it in 70MM and in Imax that I’m hesitant to watch it in my home with my dinky home theatre now. When they update the history of film textbooks, they’d better be adding Dunkirk. The Irishman (2019) Ok, so maybe this isn’t Marty’s best.  Maybe it’s a slight rehashing of his best work. (But his best is so good, the rehashing is still miles beyond the rest!) But to me, it’s Martin Scorsese embracing the evolution of storytelling in film, the formats in which it's presented, and how he’s going to adapt it in his favour.  What you have here is an excessive piece of work that would likely not ever have been made in the last 50 years due to cost, impracticality, audience appreciation, what have you.  However, in an unexpected turn, longer formats have come back into favour, and found a new platform in which to present themselves (ie. streaming servies like Netflix) So here he is, and here is The Irishman. There you have it movie lovers, more or less my top 20 films for the 2010's. Here is an abbreviated recap:

The Social Network - dir. David Fincher (2010)

Inception - dir. Christopher Nolan (2010)

The Artist - dir. Michel Hazanavicius (2011)

Hugo - dir. Martin Scorsese (2011)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - dir. David Yates (2011)

Super 8 - dir. J.J. Abrams (2011)

Moonrise Kingdom - dir. Wes Anderson (2012)

The Dark Knight Rises - dir. Christopher Nolan (2012)

Dallas Buyers Club - dir. Jean-Marc Vallee (2013)

The Theory of Everything - dir. James Marsh (2014)

Boyhood - dir. Richard Linklater (2014)

Interstellar - dir. Christopher Nolan (2014)

What We Do in the Shadows - dir. Taika Waititi (2014)

Mad Max: Fury Road - dir. George Miller (2015)

The Hateful Eight - dir. Quentin Tarantino (2015)

Straight Outta Compton - dir. F. Gary Gray (2015)

Blue Jay - dir. Alex Lehmann (2016)

Call Me By Your Name - dir. Luca Guadagnino (2017)

Dunkirk - dir. Christopher Nolan (2017)

The Irishman - dir. Martin Scorsese (2019)

Just missing the list was The Favourite - dir. Yorgos Lanthimos (2018). I actually miscounted my movies during the first draft of this list and originally had this to say about The Favourite when I'd mistakenly thought it'd made the list:

The Favourite (2018) This is the only film on the list that's not here because of its story.  It’s not a bad story, but plot alone wouldn’t put The Favourite amongst my favourites. (Also a part of me has yet to forgive Yorgos Lanthimos for making me endure Dogtooth) What makes The Favourite stand out is that it’s genre-bending, it’s like an absurd period piece for lack of a better description, and it’s awesome. Also the camera work including those panning shots with an extreme wide angle lens combined with the elaborate costume design really makes the film pop visually in a most wonderfully unconventional way.

Other films that didn't wind up making the cut:

The Town (2010)

Last Night (2010)

Rare Exports (Finland 2010)

Django Unchained (2012)

Cloud Atlas (2012)

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

Captain Phillips (2013)

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

The Danish Girl (2015)

Get Out (2017)

The Shape of Water (2017)

The Hate U Give (2018)

And two others I'd like to mention are:

1. Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), which is an affecting film but admittedly will never be my cup of tea.  Doesn't mean it's not great. And,

2. Eden (France 2014) a personal favourite that I had not even considered for one of the 20 best films of the decade, but delightfully it showed up on a Vulture article about the best films of the decade in 47th place (coincidentally the writer's initials are also A.W. and this is what they had to say...)

There you have it, my decade in film summed up. I look forward to sharing many more film experiences and thoughts with you in the years to come. Our annual January challenge "30 Films in 31 Days" commences for another year starting tomorrow, and I hope to be able to follow shortly after with my top films of 2019. Happy movie-going and happy new year!

The Significance of The Uniform

You know, for someone who is really not "into" fashion, I feel like I've written a fair amount of blogs about clothes.  

And here's another one!

The other day, I saw that one of my former employers got brand new rash guards, prompting a series of awesome group shots showing off their shiny new digs.  And that got me thinking about the clothes we wear as zookeepers.

This this amazing ensemble, which prompted my grandmother to ask "Who is that man?" when I showed her this photo of me at work

So for most of us, this is really a matter of function.  But it starts out as a badge of honor, if you think about it. It is pretty awesome to don your first work shirt with STAFF or TRAINER or GODDESS OF THE UNIVERSE on it.  It also immediately identifies you based on the longevity of your tenure at that particular facility.  In fact, there are a lot of things our uniforms do (both good and evil) that I think are worth taking a second to address.

1. As mentioned above, uniforms can identify how long you have been at a place

Look at those crisp new digs.  I was a baby trainer...maybe a month into the job.

D'uh, some of this is pretty obvious.  Let's talk about my first day at Miami Seaquarium.  Or Clearwater (as an intern).  In both cases, these were my FIRST uniforms. Clearwater was the first place I was ever involved in the marine mammal training community.  It had a standard uniform shirt, but everything else was up to me to provide.  So I had swishy black wind pants and Tevas.  I also had no clue what the general "work attire" vibe was, so I showed up to my internship utterly drowning in make up.

Okay, can we just talk about that for a second?  I am still like super embarrassed about this.  I'm not saying it is wrong to wear make-up to work if you're a dolphin trainer.  Plenty of you guys do it and well, good work. 

Just make sure your makeup doesn't run

The thing is, I have NEVER pulled off make-up wearing well, not in any facet of my life.  I just look like some kind of B-movie horror film villain and/or a Bratz doll.  I also bought the cheapest stuff available, mostly because it took me until I was 30 to realize you can buy good stuff (read: waterproof) from actual cosmetic stores, versus my main source of the stuff *cough Walgreens cough*.  Wait, I'm lying.  Walgreens was for fancy occasions, such as weddings and/or first dates that went horribly awry.  Everyday makeup was purchased at the grocery store.  

Anyways, so I totally showed up in my brand new wind pants and a Killer Clowns From Outer Space face to my internship, my enormous quantity of hair draped over my person like a wet towel....let's just say my lack of bleach stains on my clothing were not what tipped people off to my n00bness.

This is a more pleasant image than what I looked like on my first day as an intern

At Miami, I was a little savvier about personal appearance.  But I still felt like a new kid in school when I walked around with radioactively white shoes and perfectly ironed khaki shorts.

Am I right or amiright when I say we can all make pretty decent guesses at the length of employment of animal caregivers based on: sun-fadedness, bleach stains, holes, and/or the intangible badassery that surrounds a confident zookeeper like a magical aura?

2. At some point, new uniforms absolutely make your day

Glory days.

I've worked at places that REALLY care about your appearance, and places that really didn't, and places that were somewhere in between.  And in all of those cases, there was one thing that made everybody happy:

New work clothes.  Especially wetsuits.  Oh god.

My brand new wetsuit (right)!! So shiny and new! 

When I worked for Marineland when it was privately owned, we had a pretty baller logo and the clothes were cool and functional.  We had rash guards, tank tops, normal shirts, wind breakers, wind pants, sweat pants, sweat shirts, swim suits, viser, khaki shorts and pants, and board shorts (THAT WHEN THEY GOT WET THESE HIBISCUS FLOWERS APPEARED OMG OMG IT WAS AMAZING), and the standard issue of full and shorty wetsuits.  I LOVED those uniform pieces.  The only problem was that the super comfy bathing suits um, became see-through around the butt area.

Yeah.  It would start with the butt crack.  And then, like some kind of disease, the fabric surrounding your butt crack would grow into a sheer window so that everyone could see what your momma gave you.   When waiting for new suits, we would wear bikini bottoms in order to prevent the public from gazing upon our glorious cabooses (I mean, they didn't pay enough for that show).  It goes without saying that it was a joyous occasion to get a new bathing suit.

Exactly.

But other things really made a difference.  You work outdoors in FL or any other hot climate, you know that sweat stains turn a color currently not understood by science and will not go away no matter what you treat it with, including fire.  There is a point at which your old work shirt turns a corner into a category that requires action including but not limited to: dragging it behind a shed and shooting it.

At Gulfarium, we had these rain jackets that basically absorbed water and deposited it efficiently to all points of the human body most prone to immediate heat loss.  As such, we decided to pool our money together and use a coworker's absolutely unnatural talent at sniffing out a deal (and her employee discount at Eddie Bauer) to buy some freaking AMAZING foul weather jackets. 

Check out that incredible foul weather gear I'm rocking.  Also, this was a Peeps eating contest.

Guys, we made an entire evening out of this event.  It was an event.  We knew that we had to use our money to buy these things, but these things were incredible.  We all went shopping for them, and celebrated our purchase by GOING OUT TO DINNER.  For months, we talked about how amazing these rain jackets were.  Waterproof pockets, waterPROOF material that only soaked through after hours of relentless downpour but dried super fast, a zip-in fleece for those colder days.  Ah-mazing.   

3. But there is nothing like a broken-in set o' clothes

Look how happy I am in my broken-in wetsuit

Like anything, it is impossible to categorize an experience in absolutes.  Yes, new uniforms are great.  But before it gets to that health-hazard and/or see-through phase, it has its glory days. 

Wetsuits are a fab example of this.  New wetsuits are nice when your old one can basically stand on its own (more on this later), but it really does require some serious breaking in.  There is nothing like slipping into someone else's wetsuit to realize how differently the human body is shaped, even if you are the same size.

Or, ha, like I did for a while, when I would put on a guy's wetsuit before I got one of my own.  I wore it so much that conformed pretty well to my body, except for that enormous, gaping space in the nether regions that made me seriously afraid of encountering the man who used to use that wetsuit.  Or rather, made me wonder why anyone would need a space that large to accommodate any body part.

To creators of male wetsuits everywhere

4. Old uniforms can also make your day the Absolute Worst

Tina consoling me that my shirt doesn't perma-smell THAT bad

Okay, wetsuits are perfectly demonstrable evidence to support this contention.

Once the sun has set on your wetsuit's glory days, it enters into an abysmal hell that at the very least, entails other organisms sharing your neoprene.  Dry rot was my personal favorite.  I have had my fair share of wetsuits where the neoprene had shriveled up and died and was replaced by some kind of mystery material that feels like a combination between a paper bag and the tears of orphaned children.

This usually happened because we didn't take care of our wetsuits "properly", like you would if you were a pro surfer or diver and had access to the right chemicals, the right dry locker environment, and/or didn't wear your wetsuit for 40 hours a week for years at a time. 

"Where did I leave my wetsuit yesterday?"

"Don't ever rinse your wetsuit in hot water," they said. "It'll stretch the neoprene cells," they said.  Okay butthead, you try following that advice when it's 30 degrees out and you are 6 seconds away from end stage hypothermia.  When I needed hot water, it was in times when you know, my hair was literally frozen and I couldn't feel my soul. There was never a time I needed hot water the temperature of lava sprayed all over me when I thought, "BUT THE NEOPRENE".

So yeah, my wetsuits got destroyed over time.  Sometimes, they would get holes in the seems (side note: this was a great way to distinguish between uniform wetsuits when our initials faded....like HEY that's mine, it's got the hole in the left armpit).

5. Every place has orphaned uniforms that usually make us a little sad

Most of the people in this photo have long since abandoned their wetsuits and moved on.  p.s. Miss you guys

There is that rack of wetsuits, or cabinet of old uniforms.  You know it.  It's the one you use for food prep.  It's the one you have interns or volunteers scavenge from.  It's the graveyard of old employees.

Even if I didn't know the people, I always felt a little sad going through the Quitter Closet/Rack and seeing initials of people who had long since come and gone.  I wonder too, who wears my old stuff at the places I've been at. 

BRING THEM ALL BACK

But all of this just makes me realize how much our uniforms mean to us, not just in the utilitarian sense.  They are a historical marker, they are an indicator of seniority in some cases, they conform to you and see you through some of the best and some of the worst times.  They are the butt of our jokes (especially if they actually SHOW your butt).  And so you know what? They deserve a little recognition.  Thanks, work uniforms!

‘Are You The One?’ Recap: Hi My Name Is Tyranny And Im An Alcoholic

Hello everyone. I would like to thank my loyal followers for questioning my whereabouts on Twitter. I was actually on vacation, because Im not poor. Sorry, but watching these morons was just not a fucking option. I was zen AF and I dont need Carolinas crocodile tears ruining it, k thx.

ANYWAYS, so onto the episode. It was kind of eh, Im going to be honest. If youre looking for another reason to be annoyed by Giannas existence though, then it def delivered.

AFTER THE MATCH CEREMONY

They are all pumped about getting four beams. In fact, if you took a shot for every time someone said four fucking beams youd need to get stomach pumped four fucking times.

Tyranny is like Ossssssssssssssssvaldo is my match. Honestly can we just cut the accent though? Hes from Chicago for gods sake, not Italy.

Oswaldo is not so sure. Hes like she could be my match! Or she isnt! Yeah, thats pretty much how life works, actually.

Also, can we acknowledge the giant-ass drink Tee has the whole time? That cup is actually my favorite cast member this season.

Carolina and Hayden start having a pillow fight because FOUR FUCKING BEAMS, AMIRIGHT?

Now Carolina is very suddenly into Hayden. Carolinas emotions give me whiplash. Betsy DeVos nomination was more certain than this bitch.

Gianna is like “OH NO. NOT TODAY. I DID NOT LEAVE THE SOUTHSIDE FOR THIS.” Shes like I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS MAN WHO TREATS ME SO WELL. Even though they are a confirmed no match. Makes total sense.

So you unfriend-zoned him to cock block him? Seems v fair. So when you go to sleep, do you leave Haydens balls under your pillow or on your nightstand? Let me know.

*Starts Twitter Poll* Is Gianna hot? Yes or No?

Tyler apologizes to Taylor and is like “I have no excuse for being the ‘big bad wolf’ in this.” So youre eating peoples grandmas now? Very Hannibal Lecter-chic. Not sure Tyler understands that hes referencing a fairytale, but hes pretty so well overlook it.

Hes like these girls are all over me wah, life is hard.

TAYLOR: Im mad *looks at Tylers beautiful face* but Im not like, thatttt mad

Hes like Im not that guy, you know that! Shes like,

TYLER: I want to dump Shannon and date you

EVERYONE AT HOME:

Gianna goes to have a talk with Hayden, which she announces for everyone to know. Shes from the Midwest, okay? Shes not used to this whole having brains thing, cut her some slack!

GIANNA: HEY CAMERA GUY IM GOING TO HAVE A TALK WITH HAYDEN ALSO GIANNA: were very low-key shhhh

Little Mike is like this is bullshit, they are not a match, they need to stop and its like SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

GIANNA: I dont want to stop you from doing something but stop fucking doing it. (Im not even making that up, thats an exact quote) HAYDEN: But I need to play the game GIANNA: Did I fucking stutter

So Hayden has relocated from friendzone island to being a little bitch island. Need a house warming gift, Hayden? Ill get you crowbar so you can pull your head out of your ass. Youre welcome.

Gianna and Hayden have sex, giving life to the newest Trump supporter Im sure. Carolina sees all of this and is like wtffffff. Shes like, totally in love with Hayden! Like, they spoke for a whole 10 minutes. Didnt that mean anything to him?

Andre is like “IF THEY FUCK THIS UP IM GOING TO BE PISSED” and Im like do it. Get mad. You wont. No balls.

Honestly, Gianna could probs take Andre in a fight. That girl should be a fuckin prison warden.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge this week is for the dudes. The guys have to spin themselves and then go through an obstacle course. Then they have to shoot a basketball into the hoop of the girl they want to date. The person who shoots the third basketball in the hoop wins the date.

challenges sound like the hazing the gay frats do. Its all v weak.

The guys start the game and are falling all over the place. *plays Ed Sheeran*

Hayden is like, fuck it. Fuck this game. Idfc anymore, Im here for Gianna.

HAYDEN:I love Gianna

ME:

He decides to help Oswaldo win a date with Tee. See heres the thingI like Hayden, but I also think hes being very dumb. Its a hard spot for me rn. Really struggling.

Tee being proud of Oswaldo for winning is like Trump being proud of winning president. We all know he couldnt have won without Hayden/Russia.

Derrick and Joey are trying to win Rush Boobss date. Derrick wants to win because fuck Joey. Theyre shooting for legit five minutes. Seriously, Ive seen better shots from . When is the last time you played basketball? Third grade? Derricks like I played division I basketball! which sounds like an alternative fact to me.

Joey wins. So its Osvaldo/Tee and Joey/Rush Boobs.

Ryan tells them they are going to trapeze and Tee is like Im black, I shouldnt be in the air. How did you get to the Dominican Republic? Drive? Horseback? I didnt know your skin color made you less aerodynamic. I just saw and honestly, Im a fucking scientist now.

BACK AT THE HOUSE

Lets all agree that Tee is low-key alcoholic. Shes constantly sipping from that big-ass cup and it seems like they have a good connection. Could that be her match?

Eddie is talking to Alicia about how he is poor and shes like “LOL not me, cant relate to you peasant.” Eddie, you need to get your ass over to Kam where you fucking belong. Know your fucking place. Do not fuck this up for me, Eddie.

Tyler is trying to break up with Shannon and it is a train fucking wreck. Hes like I need to do the right thing and leave you. He actually stole the whole speech from Gabriella in .

REAL PICTURE OF TYLER:

Shannon is like “I feel dumb.” And she should, because she just got played. I feel bad for Shannon. Her voice makes me want to take a waltz off a bridge, but I do feel things, kind of.

Tylers like I didnt realize girls have feelings and get mad when you treat them poorly. Thats like saying I didnt know when you light shit on fire, it gets hot.

Meanwhile, Tee is very much trying to date rape Osvaldo. Its creepy tbh. If a guy was doing that to a girl on this show I would be dialing 911 by now. Tee, knock it off, it’s super gross.

They go to the boom boom room and literally boom boom because they break something. Oswaldo, way to not hold your ground.

Kam is oiling Eddie up and being goofy. I needed this.

Shes like I know Alicia and Eddy have a good friendship, Im not getting territorial, because this is a game show. I LOVE YOU KAM, I AM STARTING YOUR FAN CLUB. Shes so rational. Everyone be like her please.

THE DATE

Oswaldo is like this date will take our relationship to the next level, even though it already has gone to the next level. *wink, wink* I remember when I lost my virginity. We get it, you had sex.

They go to the trapeze place and Oswaldo is like Hopefully I dont break my neck. Thats a pretty reasonable goal.

They all are like surprisingly good at this. Even Tee, whose blackness surprisingly does not hinder her capabilities. Its a miracle.

Oswaldo and Tee are like being lovey-dovey because they fucked that one time. Hes like shes not trying to rape me and I like this side of her. I too am a big fan of the people who dont try and sexually assault me. Weird.

THE TRUTH BOOTH

Ryan comes in hot and asks about the no matches, aka Gianna and Hayden, still hooking up.

Giannas like HOW IS THIS OUR FAULT??? Uh, youre a confirmed no match and youre hooking up. I feel like Im taking crazy pills. Leave the dumb shit to Rush Boobs, please god.

The house is like, “ugh we hate you, lets just get this shit over with.” Thats how I felt with pledges in my sorority.

Tyranny and Oswaldo go to the truth booth because duh.

OSWALDO: Im excited to learn if were a match and really connect on a deeper level. TEE: Im tryna fuck.

Im stressed because Tee will def die of alcohol poisoning tonight if this doesnt work out. And what do you know, NO MATCH.

Tee was like I was falling in love with him. Shes crying. Hes crying. This is depressing. Did I accidentally sit on the remote and turn on ?

Oswaldo starts boxing while Andre is talking him down and all the guys hug him. Wow, I love the bromance. What I love more is that eventually one of them will try and fight another. #Drama

After everything, Tyler and Shannon are still hanging out. Whats Tylers favorite thing about Shannon? She isnt Taylor. Hes got high standards, ya know? #FourFuckingBeams

Taylor is like youre fucked up. And hes like why, because Im having a conversation?

Ugh Taylor, this paaaaains me to say, because I usually automatically side with the hot girl, but hes low-key right. You need to chill out and move on. Hes not worth it, dude. Hes just not.

Andre asks Taylor wtf shes doing with Tyler and Im like YAS KEEP THIS UP.

Andre is like actually, we like each other, Taylor. And shes like wait, yeah we do. WTF is this Jedi mind control shit Andre has.

ANDRE: *swinging coin back and forth* you are getting very sleepy.. and youre going to fuck me TAYLOR: *eyes glazed* yes, master

He says that she should be a Victorias Secret Model and honestly she should marry him just for that. Like thats compliment of the goddam century.

THE MATCHUP CEREMONY

Its the boys pick tonight. Please note that last time they blacked out harder than Tee does on any given weeknight.

Little Mike gets the ball rollin the wrong way and picks Kam.

Mikes like following our heart doesnt work. Hes like we should venture off, and though thats noble, maaaaaaybe not at the match ceremony. Thats like Michael Phelps being like LOOK FREESTYLE JUST DOESNT WORK right before the 4×100 relay.

Ozzy picks Hannah.

Oswaldo is up next and hes like “I GOTTA DO ME.” He picks Taylor.

Ryan asks Taylor how she feels about Tyler and shes like whos Tyler? Andre and her give each other looks and Im like OKAY YES IM HERE FOR THIS SHIT.

Ryans like Andre, do you wish you were with her and hes like Im practicing my patience. Whatever the fuck that means.

Oswaldo is like standing next to her like, lol just fuck me, right?

Andre picks Casandra.

Eddy picks Alicia and is like this is my homie.

KAM: I AM NOT WORRIED. ARE YOU WORRIED, BECAUSE I AM NOT WORRIED!!! *twitches*

Joey picks Rush boobs.

Derrick picks Gianna. Weird.

Tylers up and fucking moseys up to the front. Goddam hes like a walking Shakespeare playtragically beautiful.

Hes like Ryan, let me speak and Ryans like I didnt even say anything, but ok.

Tyler goes off about how he was painted as the villain and how he is innocent and how all this Taylor shit is fake news and the failing lamestream media is spreading false rumors!!! Sad!

Ryan asks Tyler who he likes more, Shannon or Taylor and Tyler picks Shannon.

RYAN: Do you think Tyler is your match? SHANNON: IDK RYAN: Is Taylor his match? SHANNON: IDK RYAN: Is the world round? SHANNON: IDK

Tylers talking about his breakup with Taylor and is like it sucks because you cant delete people in the real world. This is the first thing that I agree with him on. Dont worry Tyler, Ive watched . Well get to that point someday.

Michael picks KARI. Is it Carrie or KAAAAAARI? I have been saying KAAAAARI. Please DM some confirmation.

Hayden is next. Hayden tells the group that him and Gianna are affecting the game and they are going to stop screwing everyone over.

Gianna is like “WTF. WHO TOLD HIM HE COULD SPEAK? WHO LET HIM OUT OF HIS CAGE?” He picks Carolina. Hehe.

Jaylen and Tee are last. Tee is really bummed about Oswaldo and Ryan is like, “bitch its week four.”

These couples are random AF but idk Im drunk and just here to shit talk. Dont give that much of a fuck.

No blackout, so thats good. They get four beams again. Cant wait to hear them talk about it incessantly.

'Are You The One?' Recap: Hi My Name Is Tyranny And Im An Alcoholic

Hello everyone. I would like to thank my loyal followers for questioning my whereabouts on Twitter. I was actually on vacation, because Im not poor. Sorry, but watching these morons was just not a fucking option. I was zen AF and I dont need Carolinas crocodile tears ruining it, k thx.

ANYWAYS, so onto the episode. It was kind of eh, Im going to be honest. If youre looking for another reason to be annoyed by Giannas existence though, then it def delivered.

AFTER THE MATCH CEREMONY

They are all pumped about getting four beams. In fact, if you took a shot for every time someone said four fucking beams youd need to get stomach pumped four fucking times.

Tyranny is like Ossssssssssssssssvaldo is my match. Honestly can we just cut the accent though? Hes from Chicago for gods sake, not Italy.

Oswaldo is not so sure. Hes like she could be my match! Or she isnt! Yeah, thats pretty much how life works, actually.

Also, can we acknowledge the giant-ass drink Tee has the whole time? That cup is actually my favorite cast member this season.

Carolina and Hayden start having a pillow fight because FOUR FUCKING BEAMS, AMIRIGHT?

Now Carolina is very suddenly into Hayden. Carolinas emotions give me whiplash. Betsy DeVos nomination was more certain than this bitch.

Gianna is like “OH NO. NOT TODAY. I DID NOT LEAVE THE SOUTHSIDE FOR THIS.” Shes like I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS MAN WHO TREATS ME SO WELL. Even though they are a confirmed no match. Makes total sense.

So you unfriend-zoned him to cock block him? Seems v fair. So when you go to sleep, do you leave Haydens balls under your pillow or on your nightstand? Let me know.

*Starts Twitter Poll* Is Gianna hot? Yes or No?

Tyler apologizes to Taylor and is like “I have no excuse for being the ‘big bad wolf’ in this.” So youre eating peoples grandmas now? Very Hannibal Lecter-chic. Not sure Tyler understands that hes referencing a fairytale, but hes pretty so well overlook it.

Hes like these girls are all over me wah, life is hard.

TAYLOR: Im mad *looks at Tylers beautiful face* but Im not like, thatttt mad

Hes like Im not that guy, you know that! Shes like,

TYLER: I want to dump Shannon and date you

EVERYONE AT HOME:

Gianna goes to have a talk with Hayden, which she announces for everyone to know. Shes from the Midwest, okay? Shes not used to this whole having brains thing, cut her some slack!

GIANNA: HEY CAMERA GUY IM GOING TO HAVE A TALK WITH HAYDEN ALSO GIANNA: were very low-key shhhh

Little Mike is like this is bullshit, they are not a match, they need to stop and its like SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

GIANNA: I dont want to stop you from doing something but stop fucking doing it. (Im not even making that up, thats an exact quote) HAYDEN: But I need to play the game GIANNA: Did I fucking stutter
