Idk if u've seen rafayel's new oracle story BUT IT HAS BEEN PLAGUING MY MIND

"What if i make it up to you like this yeah?"

MAKE UP SEX WITH RAFAYEL.

TELL ME DO YOU THINK THEY'LL HAVE IT OFTEN?? But ones in a more playful sort of way not really full on arguments if you get what i mean 😩💗💗

oh my god please, nonnie, rafayel's oracle story is literally the only thing on my mind. i've been so unwell

i went in with one dream and spent everything i had because my luck is abysmal. and, the worst part?? I CAN'T EVEN BE UPSET ABOUT IT 😭🫵🏻 it wasn't what i expected. it's kind of funny ASKDDJKD!! i thought it'd be myth related. instead, i was blessed with rafayel.... kisses... 🥰

itty bitty nsfw 🔞 mdni.

rafayel would 100% down for playful makeup sex 😵‍💫💕 honestly, he'd pull any kind of excuse just to get you undressed and fucked out in bliss. he loves how pretty you look when you cum 💕 even more when he and you can get a good laugh in between because he'd appreciate lightheartedness in intimacy. after all, he wouldn't have sex with anyone else! he needs trust to do those sweet, silly things too, and he can only ever do that with you.

because i think he'd find a lot of fun with it, he'd do it often, but the sex doesn't necessarily need to be absolutely mind-blowing once initiated. banter is fun, even better when it leads to sex, but he just loves being close like that: naked and a tangled mess of limbs with the warmth coming from your body to his.

he's a night owl, so he's unintentionally ignoring your texts. maybe, even misses a few phone calls or immediately ends an incoming one, thinking it's an alarm he set up before. part of the day goes by and you're coming into his home to make sure he's doing alright. there's no use in pretending that you aren't upset. because you are upset! you didn't hear from him 💔 but, you find that he's just now out of bed after finishing a new piece of art.

"were you asleep this whole time?" you ask.

he rambles on about a sudden inspiration he had and that, "it'd be wrong to rest when the idea was too good."

you listen, nod, but truthfully some of his words go in and out the other ear. you frown at him. and, when he asks why you have that look on your face, you're quick to say, "i'm sure you can figure out why."

he knows. of course, he knows. he reads you well, just like you do him. then, his shoulders are a little hunched over, and he's laughing!

"i've really spoiled you," he says softly. his hands are on your hips the next second, pulling you close. "mm, why not let me make it up to you? i'm awake now, and we have the rest of the day to ourselves."

he lifts you and lays you on the couch. kisses you while he thinks about how many times he can get you gushing on his fingers and tongue before his cock.

OR, if you're the one making it up to him 🥹

accidentally spilling paint on a good shirt of his? you're panicking as soon as it happens. your hands move faster than your mouth, and you're halfway with unbuttoning his shirt before telling him he needs to take it off.

his laughter is what stops you. it dawns on you! but, to be fair, your thoughts don't have anything else besides: the shirt must be washed before it really stains.

"someone's being bold," he chuckles as your eyes meet. "did you plan this?"

"what?" and, the fabric drops from between your fingers. rafayel doesn't miss the way your gaze falls briefly, catching the sight of his bare chest, last 2 or 3 buttons barely laying over his abdomen. "me, ruining a piece of clothing that's probably over three times my budget? i don't think that's planning. it's called being clumsy."

your face feels warm. you take a deep breath, reach out to him, "c'mon. i'll wash it. take it off before the paint makes it unsalvageable."

rafayel clasps your wrist with his hand, steps into your space, voice deepening with a tinge of playfulness, "no, i can think of a better idea. how about me and you have matching clothes?"

he embraces you, gets you wearing blotches of paint too, and you want to argue. but, you can't find the energy to when one hand is guiding your head back and the other is tugging on your neckline. rafayel's lips move to your throat first. then, trails open-mouthed kisses along the rest of your neck, jaw, the base of your shoulder, before whispering, "it's a good idea, yeah?"

since you're the one to make a mess of his shirt first, he wants you riding him as compensation. to make him feel good? yes, sure, he loves that. though, the reason for it, most of all: he wants you using his cock like you own it. wants you aching and desperate for him. cum all over him, feel good because of him. nothing gets him going more than watching you bounce on top and moan his name so sweetly 🥰

DAMNN!!!! It makes me sad how Yves probably doesn’t celebrate his birthday because it probably reminds him of how old he has become 😭 But after rereading the birthday ask, I wanna do something for his birthday, like I’d honestly try to throw a little something for him, even if it’s just the two of us. How would he react to that? But then again I doubt he would tell us his birth date and would NEVER tell us the year so celebrating his birthday would probably be next to impossible. But dang I’d feel bad like being with this man a whole year and realizing like Omg I never got Yves anything for his birthday ☹️

Yves may not like to be reminded of his age, but he does love spending time with you. He knew that you would want to do something nice for him on his birthday. In that case, he would drop hints about his very special day.

Valentines Day; would be the day he chose to represent the day he was born. You would perhaps accidentally take a peep at his passport, Identity card or any seemingly valid documents that contained his alleged birthdate.

14th February, and he will be 34 this year.

He loves roses, jewellery, makeup, handbags, heels, heart-shaped novelty gifts and all things romantic. Yves is sure you would find an easier time to obtain them during heartbreak season.

You might be insecure because everything that's at least touching his standards is out of your budget. So you have to rely on creativity.

Of course, nothing is a surprise for Yves. He knows your works in progress, the trips to the photo printing store, the paper basket filled with rejected, crumpled love poem drafts, hours upon hours of perusing through the internet for cute birthday date ideas... your effort in preparing for it was already more than enough to please him.

Yves definitely loves seeing you try for him. To push past your worries and do it anyway, even if you are shaking out of fear from the thought of him being disappointed.

He would subliminally send you a message that it's not material items Yves is after; it's your company. Gifts and romantic gestures are nice bonuses, but not necessary.

But you're so adamant about doing something nice for his special day, and that warms his heart. So he lets you have your fun and healthy stresses on organizing a nice little dinner for him. Although, he will step in if you're pressuring yourself to the point of deterioration.

Comes the day of 'his' birthday, it's 12 in the morning. He's still awake in his office, typing away at his computer. Yves would appreciate it very much if you greeted him with a hug and a kiss, lightly scolding you for staying up so late but thanking you for your attentiveness nonetheless. If you live separately, you can give him a call or a text wishing him a happy birthday, and he will answer or reply immediately without fail. With some nagging that you should have adequate sleep at night. He doesn't hide the delight in his voice or face, though.

If you've been paying attention, the ideal birthday present for him is... you. Yves would very much rather pamper you instead as if it's celebrating yours, cooking up all your favorite meals, bringing you to your favorite places... but alas, it is your turn to spoil him with whatever you have in store.

You spent the last few days practicing how to cook something that you think is 'fancy' and 'expensive'. You emptied your pockets for that week but it was all worth it, you mastered making a dish that you thought Yves would like, you think. A cake you attempted to make from scratch, is obviously not made by a professional, but the love and care are evident.

Assuming you live with him, a perfect window of opportunity presents itself when Yves is suddenly extremely busy with work, so he has to hide himself in the office. You hurried to set up everything, the presents, the dining table, the candles, the food, and the plates. It was such a coincidence, that he's done as soon as you put your final touches on your dishes.

He would appear pleasantly surprised, tilting his head to the side and gracefully concealing the widest smile on his face with his manicured fingers. You can see his eyes glimmering out of joy, which in turn makes you feel proud and giddy as well. For the presentation alone, Yves is already sure to reward you handsomely.

You pulled the chair out for him, and he thanked you as Yves elegantly took a seat.

You sat down opposite of him, face and neck already covered in lipstick prints before even picking up the sleek champagne bottle. He found it adorable, you can barely afford the lower-end ones, yet you still try. He was monitoring your spending behavior and noticed that you're saving excessively for something, he is happy to know that you used it to get something luxurious for him.

His gaze never left yours as he clinked glasses with you.

Yves made sure to praise you for all your hard work, and he is exceptionally giggly today. Not because he thinks your efforts are funny, but because it's quite difficult to contain his admiration and fondness for you. And it is also because of the sight of you being decorated in his lipstick. He genuinely thinks your cooking is delicious, perhaps a tad bit too oily, salty, sweet, or burnt for his taste, or he simply didn't like that particular food. You wouldn't know, because it seems like Yves ate something that was meant for the gods. It was exquisite because it was made by you with loving intent.

Perhaps you're shy, a bit skittish, and blushing. You somehow thought writing romantic poems and reading them out loud for him to hear would be something he would be keen on. And you were absolutely correct. You could cringe at your own voice and work as much as you want, but Yves is cherishing it deeply.

He knows you would stutter when he sensually caressed you on your thigh, he did it anyway to see such a cute reaction from you. Yves would hold onto every word, listening intently and staring at you with such devotion.

Please don't take his peals of laughter at the end as mockery, it was purely out of glee and love for you, the ticklish feeling in his chest needed to escape somehow. Yves would pull you in a tight, but comforting hug, showering you with so much praise and affection, that you would think you're the world's greatest poet.

He would sit on his chair, crossing his legs, and adoringly watched you scramble to show him all your gifts. Predictably, they're all Valentine's Day-themed, rouge and hearts all around, his favorite.

You truly knew how to make him feel like a queen. Bouquets of fragrant roses, chocolates, even handmade crafts that you slaved over for him... they're all priceless and worth much more than anything in the world. He was slow and careful in unwrapping them, Yves everything, down to the strip of tape you used to keep the wrapping paper together, as intact as possible as they're going to be preserved in his compendium.

You gifted him an expensive lipstick in a shade that he would like. Such a wonderfully attentive partner you are, how could you have possibly known that he loves all things lip pigments? He must simply try it, so he did on the spot, using you as his little canvas.

Oh, he loves that hue on you. Yves made sure to test it out a couple more times, on your forehead, cheek, and lips. Yves would twist it back into its container, cap it, and keep it away before finally permitting you to leave his lap.

There's more, you scampered off into the kitchen. Leaving him alone to deal with his high for a while.

You emerged again with a crooked cake. The piping is uneven, it says "Hapy BDay Yves!!!" in crude frosting- you didn't think the spacing through, and hence it was horribly off-centered, and a singular, lit candle is stuck in the eye of the cake. It was perfection.

You watched him quizzingly as his emerald eyes began tearing up, droplets rolling down his cheek as he smiled wide. He daintily patted the tears away with his trembling fingertips, Yves was speechless and incapacitated by his extreme urge to squeeze you, his cuteness and aggression reaching debilitating levels.

He had to expel all that extra energy somehow, so he resorted to crying out of joy. Yves knew what you were about to do, he knew all that was going to happen, but he could never account for the overwhelm he would feel when you do something special like this. It's embarrassing to Yves, but he pushed that feeling aside and thought about how grateful he is to have you instead.

It would take him a couple minutes to compose himself, a handful of deep breaths before he is confident that he wouldn't bite you like a rabid dog.

You invited him to make a wish, and he did so silently, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes. Yves was so earnest and fervent that you would think he was saying a sincere prayer. Whatever he wished for, you notice there is that desperation in him for it to come true.

He cuts it with you, your back pressing against his front as he holds both your hands in his. Guiding the blade through the baked goods.

He asked if you and he could share a slice, and Yves would spoon-feed you and himself using the same utensils. It's much more intimate and romantic that way. And, maybe it would invoke some nostalgia too.

Yves is saving the best parts for you, be it the cherries, chocolate barks, sprinkles, strawberries... it's yours.

You wonder if he is having a fever because the hand that is holding your chin is unusually warm and his face is pink. He watched you with half-lidded eyes which you mistook as sleepiness and not lovesickness.

You beguiled him enough to earn yourself a night of heavenly sex. It's definitely not your first time, so you knew how fucking difficult it is to convince Yves to do that with you. And you knew how damn good he is in the bedroom.

Naturally, you're shaking in excitement as Yves gives you a nod as he sensually caresses you under your chin. Opportunities like this are rare, of course, you're frothing at the mouth thinking about what awaits you later.

He told you to unwind in the bedroom first while he cleans up. Yves didn't have to say a word more before you took off running.

Yves laughed to himself as he gathered the empty dishes, thinking about the vase he would be putting the fresh roses in.

This may not be everyone's ideal way of spending their birthday; ending the day by doing chores. But that's the way Yves likes it and he wouldn't change his mind for the world, he's stubborn in his ways and loves predictability. Taking care of you is his greatest joy in life. Which isn't all that surprising, Yves is a Taurus, after all.

pony trying to throw a quince for his gf cause she Mexican but she poor af obviously and everyone gotta pitch in cause she is literally h the e girl greaser of the group

OK so Pony didn't know about it until like. A MONTH in advance (bro was on an INSANE time crunch) and he spent like. three whole days doing research.

Also he didn't know what a quinceanera was 😭 but once she explained it to him. he was like "Yeah. You're going to have the best one ever".

ALL the guys pitched in to help (since the venue, food, music, and pictures and stuff was insanely expensive. not even including the dress) but when it's seven guys they were able to come up w/ a pretty good budget (and they didn't need to pay to have her dress altered, Two-bit's mom practically begged to do it. She loves sewing but doesn't get that much opportunity to do things other than mending clothes)

They even decided to get a specialty cake (she wanted the guys to make it to save money, but... Soda and Darry's decorating skills are awful I'm sorry 😭) Ponyboy called like 30 bakeries to find one that could make what she wanted. He wanted it to be EVERYTHING. she wanted. he did not want her to settle 😭

Johnny's kind of artsy, so him and Pony made all the decorations. It took them forever to find material in the right colors but they tried their best (she wanted a floral theme, so they made like a thousand paper flowers. Both of them couldn't bend their fingers for a while after that).

So a hc that I have is that Ponyboy would LOVE photography (esp of sunsets and nature). But later on he was able to get into the photography club at school, which gave him a camera to borrow. He took all the pictures for her (and they were gorgeous. He took her out to a field during golden hour).

The venue they found was also really pretty, it was in a local hotel's ballroom (and it was an older hotel, so there were columns and stuff). But it looked. so pretty with the decorations she almost cried 😭

[ideas-4-stories]

NOOOOOOOO I LOST THE AU I WROTE FOR YOU 😭😭😭 I LITERALLY SENT IT AND TUMBLR SAID "NETWORK ERROR". L FOR THE WIFI. L. Not cool I'm literally crying I thought that AU was genius. It was a Teacher!Buggy AU with Crocomom and Dadhawk. + Shanks co-parenting Luffy with Crocodile. That note was so long I literally spent like 45 mins writing it here on your ask and it was just. Gone. Or I think it did. Why does life hate me. I'm just gonna be brief with this cuz I still think it's golden lmao. Croco and Mihawk work long hours so their kids (Luffy, Zoro, Perona) have to wait for a few hours until they're picked up by their parents. The school doesn't have school buses bc I said so (no I am not cruel it's just out of my budget /j). So Buggy takes the responsibility to keep them comfortable and entertained while they wait. Croco and Mihawk meeting this charming (and clown looking) blue-haired guy and they start courting him. Shanks gets dragged in on the courting bc of Luffy. Also he was already courting Buggy. I didn't write their process of courting I basically skipped and went,, their wedding will take part in a Goth castle. And the design are all sunshine and rainbows (literally). Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Vivi, Zoro and Luffy being in a class along with other kids. Franky, Robin, Jinbei and Brook are in higher classes. Chopper is atom. Not here in the world yet. Perona is like, 2-3yrs older than her brothers so. Yeah *awkwardly shuffles* (I love perona I swear-). Implied Zosan. Some rando: but you didn't imply shi— Me: Shhh I did. *gaslighting*. Law is also there in the classroom with lower grade strawhats. He's suffering. He only attends 3 days a week tho, he's mostly homeschooled bc of his sickness. He's homeschooled by Cora. (You can pry Law and Cora from my cold dead hands. You can separate them when I dissolve into ashes). Don't worry as he gets older his sickness is cured. Ofc he's cured by Cora. He's saved by Cora in every universe. In every AU. Every Era. Every life they will ever live. I will die on that hill– *applies the nobody dies/everyone lives tag on this AU* let my babies be happy pls. Let my man Cora live and travel the world with this emo boy (Law). Doffy isn't real, he can't hurt anyone. Ace is there. Sabo is there. Every One Piece character is out there somewhere. They're like hidden stones and you have 0.02% of finding them. I thought I was just making a Teacher!Buggy AU but then it turns into a Modern!AU for everyone. Let's gooooo. Sora divorces with Judge and remarry with Zeff so now Sanji lives with all his brothers and his sister. They get separate classrooms tho, and reiju is perona's age so she's besties with her. (I do not play by canon's rules with ages bc i live in my own world) They both tease their brothers (Sanji and Zoro) about their crushes on each other. The heart crew is there. Bepo is a dog, a very fluffy one. Kuina is alive. Kaya is there, same classroom with Usopp. I have no idea how to continue this lmao, but I do hope you find this interesting bc Buggy is 100% great with kids and probably teaches well bc he is a big nerd and makes lessons interesting. (Also, the whole reason why I wrote this instead of letting the idea slip through my mind like the others is bc the image of two goth men courting a clown looking mf was funny to me. So here we are lmao. The way I wrote this makes Shanks look like he's the person they let into their open relationship twice lol I'm so sorry 😭😭)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's really sad, I really like this idea (though I see Shanks and Buggy more as siblings, but I understand the idea of Shuggy) It's fine that this became about so many people, I really like this.

Teacher!Buggy sounds so cool, you know that he's the flashiest and maybe one of the craziness of the things he'll do to get his students good things that will boost their learning. He knows that every kid might not have the same learning paths as others.

How many classes does this man teach? Who knows, too many for how much he gets paid. All teachers needs to get paid more.

I would think Jinbei and Brook being other fun teachers in the school, like Tom could be as well!

I really like this idea, and the imagine of two gothic men trying to court a clown-looking mf is really funny to me as well.

[jadevine]

Hey folks, I have musical nerd photos today! Tumblr and Insta have been glitching out for me for some reason, so I've been trying to repost this for two days now. Insta has been sorted and I'm hoping everything works here!

-- I saw “Wicked Part 1” before Thanksgiving, so I was nerdy and dressed up as Elphaba! Everyone immediately knew which movie me and my sister were seeing, lol.

As a whole, it was amazing! This is a spectacle of very classic, Golden Age Hollywood feel. The big-money budget was really, really satisfying in how they just took the clockpunk aesthetic and ran wild with it. The gorgeous, sweeping scenes of nature and the sky also feel like prime fantasy-Americana, aside from the European red poppies and building styles. We got bouquets of poppies (FORESHADOWING!), we got lush but dark forests (FORESHADOWING!), and huge open shots of stormy skies and rain (FORESHADOWING!).

Oz is a fairytale land and it is masterfully crafted with vibrant colors, the asymmetrical fashion aesthetic, and the clockpunk machinery welding everything together.

There are some nightmarish parts regarding the politics of Oz, how magic is portrayed as a half-lost wildcard, and Elphaba’s status as a scapegoat/outcast from birth. Take caution when bringing young kids. 1) People can be SO cruel to others, especially young college students. 2) Authority figures don’t always have their people’s best interest in mind. 3) Sometimes I think we need to make parenting licenses, because folks are NOT all cut out to be parents.

Good news: The cast has great chemistry with each other, and you definitely know they stuffed this place with as many musical actors and dancers as they could. Nobody is off beat. Everyone is thrilled to be here. 😆

I wasn’t jazzed with Johnathan Bailey’s singing voice as Fiyero, because his Extremely Modern style kept taking me out of the Victorian/Clockpunk setting, but he still did a good job and is very heartfelt as an actor. I think they should have spent time getting him to blend in better with the movie’s style, but this is just me.

Ariana did an unexpectedly good job, but as a contrast to Fiyero, you could definitely hear her channeling Kristin Chenoweth as an ascended fan of Wicked.

Cynthia Erivo is fantastic. No notes. Or in her case, ALL the notes. She hit all the notes for her songs, and I was ready to cry my goth heart out several times, even for my least favorite song in the soundtrack (“I’m not that girl”). She does a really nice Midwestern/“neutral American” accent, though she starts to sound almost Valley Girl sometimes, so I think that’s when her regular English accent is getting some wires crossed.

Last note: There are cameos! Very important cameos! I was about to pass out when they showed up. A++++++ ❤️😭

As for photos: I am wearing Elphaba’s costume as much as possible, lolllll. I painted my nails again, and they didn’t chip after five minutes this time! I LOVE the metallic green. It’s so great. I ran into a hiccup when I foolishly ordered nachos, and then I licked a bit of cheese dip off my hands… without remembering that I painted my nails. What can you do but control the gag reflex? 🤮

Check me out after the movie finished! My cosplay training is rusty, so I don’t know quite where to put my hands, and I’m trying to sweep out my skirt (and cloak) dramatically.

[theresa-of-liechtenstein]

it is a thursday evening in the academic year, and you know what that means: WE ARE SO BACK!!!

started off extremely nervous for...honestly i have no CLUE why. but i was walking to the arts building feeling like my heart was going to escape my chest

i found a bench outside the rehearsal hall and sat down out of habit to eat my snack, when—you all must know the drill by now—along came tita conductor, who hurried the rest of the way to meet me with the BIGGEST smile on her face

we then had what can only be described as a rapturous reunion, wherein we briefly discussed some seating-arrangement things (due to the whole Music Department Being Closed thing in the summer she's not yet done auditioning new violins, of which there are many THANK GOD. having to hire ringer VIOLINS last year was nothing short of insane. we've gone from like 14 to somewhere in the 20s.)

we took a brief break from our conversation for her to do the thing she was Actually supposed to do (make copies of the class syllabus in the printer room down the hall)

when she came back tita conductor was SO excited to tell me how much she loved my drawing of her 😭 she must have spent at least five minutes excitedly recounting her favorite details, in particular the musical references. which, considering that 4/5 were from brahms works, is not uncharacteristic of her

"you were so meticulous! it was so intricate!" well madamina you didn't give me this job for my lack of attention to detail,

eventually she went on her way to assist a new member and i was left to my snack

just then, principal viola walked out of the rehearsal room, followed by concertmaster and a new student i didn't recognize. they saw me and headed over, and we all stood around chatting. i did what i've always wanted to do and introduced myself as a first year (which is technically true)

we headed inside eventually and continued chatting in the back as more people came in—like oh my god we have SO MANY STRINGS this year. we don’t have to budget our strings we have more than enough to get by

ate dean (!!! i thought she’d be too busy) walked in and gave me a HUGE hug 🥹

my returning sectionmates were happy to see me and so i was sitting in the section turned around chatting to them

tita conductor suddenly walked behind them and i accidentally made eye contact, to which she gave me one of her megawatt smiles 😭

concertmaster always tunes on time (he tries never to tune after 10 past the hour when rehearsal “officially” starts) so we had long been ready by the time tita conductor went to the podium, whirled around with a flourish, and asked principal oboe for an A

cue concertmaster piping up innocently next to her, “we tuned already.”

tita conductor looked VERY put out and said “oh darn it. i was hoping for the sounds of mystical tuning”

WE GOT DVOŘÁK 8 RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

because there were so many new people and none of the violins were placed, tita conductor started us off reading a bach chorale (iirc dir, dir, jehova will ich singen) with parts adjusted for b-flat instruments and differing clefs just to get us all adjusted to each other

at one point she had us SINGING the lines and the first violins were so timid to the point where she turned to them and said “you have six people to cover for you” 💀

i hated that i had to leave halfway through, not least because i had to just get up in the middle of something FUN and walk away from the FRONT like boo boo the fool, but also because tita conductor looked down at me momentarily like 🥺 while i did so. fuck the registrar for breaking our hearts like this

when i left she was getting ready to conduct something and did one of her signature Wiggles 😭

i was so giddy on my way to my next class that when i refilled my water bottle in the engineering building, i literally skipped my way back to my classroom grinning. as in i was FROLICKING. and some kid said to his friend as i skipped away "oh, the freshmen"

i had no idea just how much i missed orchestra and tita conductor and ate dean until now and i am so excited for the year to come. in conclusion, best first day of school of my whole life.

[pinkmoondoll9shihtzu]

Omg. im so elated...today was more slice of life than i cldve dreamed. i made a FRIEND at zinefest ToT like a real irl friend whos the same age as me and wants to hang out and she makes kawaii art we spotted each other from across the room & the bishoujo sparkling braintrust was immediately felt🥲🩷then we talked for a long long time idk man ive rly been praying for a like, 30 yr old Girl to come into my life who lives close enough to hang & wants to do same stuff as me, who is motivated & passionate & we r at the same point in life.. i can sense she needs that too, idk it was just fateful. i didnt think i would make a friend today😭Cus most ppl there r pretty shy myself included. unexpected angel !!

New Matt and Trey interview with 5280!!🤩

Some highlights:

"Parker, 53, was wearing a black CU T-shirt, and Stone, 52, wore a white tee and white baseball cap, the latter of which he kept taking on and off throughout our conversation." Of COURSE that would be Matt's get-up as well as being fidgety throughout!😄

Trey as a kid feeling like he spent the whole day there, when his mom only told him they stayed 2 hours!😄

Matt on both Casa Bonita and BoM: "We want people to have a great night out." Dawww!!😭❤️

Element of theater to the drinks program...that is soooo Trey and so up my alley as well!😄

Re: Dikinbaus Hot Dogs: "We were like, We’ll do another big Casa Bonita episode. And then it was like, No, no, that’s too on the nose. But we could do another one that has to do with it, but that’s not exactly it.” And “We probably could have made a two- or three-hour show out of that,” Parker continued. “So much of the episode was about Cartman going $40 million over the budget.” He paused for a moment. “Kind of like we did.”

Eat It Up

“Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Overspending. We’ve all done it, right? Perhaps you blew your budget on a vacation or a special occasion and had to face a tough financial reality afterward. Maybe you bought a car or new house for its size, only to feel cramped [overwhelmed] by the upkeep. We could easily write out a list of our missteps yet miss the larger issue of treating wants like needs.

We fall for the pitch in front of us because of the itch inside of us, but nothing we’ve spent can make us content.

God’s alternative offer is clear: Listen to him and learn what’s good, so you can then enjoy good things. It’s simple and loving despite how complicated and commanding we make it out to be, as if spending intentional with Him each day is a stiff activity we do to be religious.

Hint: It’s not a religion, it’s a relationship!

Your Heavenly Father loves you and wants to show you what’s worth your time and resources.. Eat It Up!!!

Prayer: Father, I’ll never be perfect at managing money, but I know your wisdom makes a huge difference. I’d love to spend the whole day open to you today, so that I can sense your leadership and follow you.

Just thinking about fair food probably makes you want to eat! No matter where you live, the fair has some of the weirdest things to eat. Beyond corn dogs and turkey legs, you can get deep fried oreos , fried ice cream, and deep fried bacon. Somehow, seeing it on a stick makes us think, “Well, why not?”

Culture tempts us to pursue taste over substance , but God reveals that life in Him is healthy, filling, and succulent. The next time you reach for a funnel cake filled with macaroni ( why are you reaching for that anyways😭). Consider what it symbolizes in how you live and what you entertain yourself with.

Prayer: God, there are so many things that could easily distract me. Instead, show me what’s incredible and guilt-feee because it’s rooted in you and what you’re up to!

Q: When do you tend to let your guard down when it comes to falling for something that doesn’t truly satisfy?

Thai BL is trying to kill me today with all of its puke and fart noises. Please. I'm European. I can't do this. I'm too weak. :(((((

And also :((((( to Middleman's Love for wasting precious time by telling an unnecessary "ghost" story that isn't even in the novel when there's only 6 eps to go and so much good material to use. Did they have no budget left for this or why did they spent a good 15 minutes sitting in front of a static camera that didn't even show poor Mongkol when he was speaking because he wasn't in the frame? I'm so confused.

As for Twins: never mind Zee having to change his whole identity because his twin is impersonating him and hitting on his archnemesis. No, this is mild stuff compared to the "TIFU by shitting myself" incident. Zee better contact a good plastic surgeon to change his whole face Chains of Heart style. Again, what is this obsession with bodily functions in Thai BL? 😭😭😭

have you ever read the father brown books? i've just started on the first one and like. there's some fun flambrown content if you're into that

i say "if" as if you don't plaster flambrown content across my dash every day dkfhfjd

(I typed a whole long answer and it refused to post so I've attempted to retype ashorter less rambly version of the original post 😭😭)

OH BOY

WHAT A SILLY QUESTION

I'm more into the books than the show, and I've consumed every single TV, film, and radio adaptation! Even the ones in German and Italian! Even though I don't speak a word of Italian! My blog header on mobile is actually Flambeau from the 70s Italian miniseries!

I'm also Aristide Valentin stan no.1, he's my poor little meow meow, I literally spent weeks researching pre-WW1 maps of London to try and figure out the route Valentin took from Liverpool Street to Hampstead Heath so that I could go on my own trip and follow in his footsteps. And literally no onscreen adaption has ever done him properly. 😭😭 The radio adaptations are better in that regard.

The 1984 BBC radio adaptation is the one and only adaptation that even pronounces Valentin's name properly. Coincidentally it's also the only adaptation to have an actual Frenchman on the cast. 😂 To by best count, Flambeau has been played by 3 Englishmen, 3 Americans, an Italian, a Welshman, a Hungarian, an Austrian, a German, and one (1) actual Frenchman.

As far as adaptations go, the 1974 TV series and the 80s and 00s radio adaptations are both the best as faithful adaptations, and the gayest, though the 1934 movie has a very special place in my heart. It has low budget early Hayes code charm. I love the flat painted London backdrop and the milk in wine glasses. I love the doggy and I love obviously Hungarian Flambeau because early hollywood just thought "as long as he sounds foreign".

But honestly every adaptation has something I love about it, even the really weird ones. You have to check out the failed pilot for an American modern day adaptation set in New York made in the early 80s sometime. It's barely recognisable as Father Brown but it's a lot of fun. Flambeau isn't in that one but Father Brown does have a dog which is nearly as good.

But I do hope you enjoy the books! The Secret Garden, The Invisible Man, and The Eye of Apollo are my favourite FB book stories by MILES

Playing F1 manager and hiring Fernando Alonso to Red Bull has been the most cursed thing I've ever done.

Also, that old bastard haggled SO MUCH when I offered him contracts, I spent 2/3 of my WHOLE FUCKING budget on him 😭😭😭😭 AND I had to get his old race engineer too, to make him happy 💀

[linpunny]

Taiju is back 💕💕💕💕

He just I’m so he and???? The the way he power threw his expensive ass jacket to the ground. I was that jacket. I hit the floor with a WET SPLAT!!!!!!

The whole damn budget was spent on our apex predator gorilla king of a man. HIS EYES!!!! THE LOOK IN HIS EYES THE DEPTH TO HIS EYES WAS KILLING ME. I wet myself an embarrassing about of times within 5-10 minutes bro.

If I wasn’t sick he wouldn’t let me suck him rn I’m on dick banI would have dropped to my knees and sucked the life out him. Drained his soul through his dick and then thanked him right in front of everyone immediately after he strong armed and took out three toman members with his fore arm alone. That was so sexy of him.

THE CIGARETTE THE WAY HE WAS PUFFIN AND HAD IT HANGING FROM HIS MOUTH TF WHY WASNT I THAT CIG??? WHEN WILL IT BE ME?? US, TAMAKI??? I wanna hang from his lips while he puffs on me and savors the flavor. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m pretty sure the reason I don’t get most of my books written is because I try so hard to make them accurate to actual life.

Like I be spending more time researching than actual writing 💀

Idk if this a good thing or not because yeah it’s neat to have little fun facts thrown in there. But I just want to write without going to google 50 times

I’m sure other writers do somewhat of the same thing because there’s no way I’m alone in this. But they’re researching fun things like anatomy and mental disorders. Meanwhile I’m spending 40 minutes reading articles about wildlife in Minnesota 😭

I remember one time i literally built a whole fucking life for one of my characters. I MADE HER A SCHEDULE THAT WASNT EVEN RELATED TO THE PLOT. It was going to relevant for like 2 chapters and that was gonna be it! And yet I spent HOURS making sure it was accurate. I literally did the math to see what kind of budget she’d have to life off of. I WAS LOOKING INTO APARTMENT PRICES AT 2AM FOR THIS STUPID ASS BOOK.

And the biggest part about that event that pisses me off so much is that I didn’t even give her a name! She literally was just called MC because i couldn’t think of a name for her. I gave her a life before I even gave her a name. Tragic.

This has only come in handy once in my life and that was when I made a whole government. That shit was hella organized and I’m still proud of it. The biggest kicker of them all though is that I made that whole thing in one night. Spent a few hours on in but I still got it done. Made a government and plot in a whole night. And it’s still one of my favorite story ideas I’ve ever made.

This is also why you will never catch me attempting at fantasy. I fear I will actually go insane if I try that.

[justsimplyobsessed]

They got John Powell aka mr leitmotif for the score no wonder the songs melodies were sprinkled throughout omg but more wicked thoughts under the cut

I hate to admit it but Ariana did a good job like every 30 mins I’d be like ugh Ariana but damn she is a great Glinda. I still prefer my personal faves in recent years- Brittney Johnson and Mackenzie Kurtz - but for movie it makes sense for Ariana.

Also the first shot where it shows Oz is literally somewhere over the rainbow!! Genius

Oh the foreshadowing of the broken window in the beginning amazing

I will hate Jon M Chu for this and this only - WHY WAS DANCING THROUGH LIFE BACKLIT 😭 like it’s pretty but I couldn’t see Jonathan bailey’s face

On Jonathan Bailey I saw a tweet that was like they had to split it in two parts because everyone would be too horny if they listened to him perform dancing through life and as long as you’re mine in one go and reader I have to agree cause what did he put in it I was like clutching my metaphorical pearl necklace

Don’t adore all of Cynthia’s riffs like they take me out for a second but amazing job - I think it’s funny how in the wizard and I her wig covers her ears so she didn’t need to use the prosthetic the whole time I think

How the fuck did they keep idina and kristen’s cameos a secret like how did no one spoil that ???

But the true beauty of the film is the extras and dancers - oh you could feel the musical theatre love just buzzing from them like they are doing the utmost to bring the world to life

- but it’s kinda like all that for that few scenes of others? Like I don’t know maybe it’s because of how long the film is I feel like all the other roles got reduced which is ironic because they’re probably expanded from the performance version but like percentage wise it felt so little like did Bowen Yang really have to fly every weekend to London from New York for his scenes? I don’t know?

I think the summary is don’t let the drama surrounding the leads disrupt from this film which is a move towards the right direction for filmmaking- which is physical sets, physical props and stunts and just tangible things and just having real people do things!!

Before watching the trailers were for moana and mufasa and the fact they got Barlow and bear to do moana 2 and LMM for mufasa is just letting me know Disney is going through budget cuts - but with wicked - like I could see where the money was spent and this movie was EXPENSIVE - it looks so expensive- me and my little film studies brain - oh before I forget the camera movements in what is this feeling - adore like it’s just good and great but not perfect but that’s life but agh I wanted to hate this so much but I can’t because I love wicked it was the first musical I watched ever and it was because someone on tumblr decided to make an animatic for defying gravity (Heidi Jo Gilbert) and Minkyu Lee drew a proposal for Wicked to be animated.

I saw wicked in London and we were in the very very back seats - £25 so high I didn’t know they made seats that high and we saw the dragon mostly and the puffs of smoke. They were little specks but that’s how I remember wicked for the first time and now this movie is good and I will watch again in the background when I want to
