gen and her fucking volt gun the real twc romance option

[masonscig]

different anon from the 'writer rant' one but it did bring up a topic i find fascinating in fandoms like this re: copaganda and the like. prefacing this by saying that i in no way support cops or think this is a realistic way of portraying them. with that in mind, i feel like there's this common hang up in series like twc where the MC is some sort of law enforcement equivalent - whether its an actual cop or some ancient/medieval/future/alternate universe equivalent - people get frustrated when you aren't able to rebel against that enough. and this isn't just a twc thing either, i've seen the same kind of points made for all kinds of IF games. and like, i get the desire to and how most people would make their OC's decent enough people to recognize that kind of corruption for what it is, but if you're signing on to be a character that by default is in a law enforcement/adjacent position, and has some sense of pride in it, i'm not sure how the author is expected to properly account for that perspective that completely opposes all that.

like, in twc the MC almost always willingly signs on to the force, and even in the 'do it or go to jail' origin they still take pride in being able to help people now despite the circumstances of them joining up - any option to be extraordinarily wary of the agency or cops in general contradicts that unchangeable part of the MC's backstory and identity. and i get your point about mish/ka making an idealistic utopic version of things, but i don't really know what else is to be expected in a series that's effectively set up to be a supernatural crime romance? i don't want to make it sound like the frustrations/concerns are invalid because they're not at all! but i feel like by now the role law enforcement and the like plays in the detective's life is so established people have to suspend some of their beliefs about it to play a series that's always had a pretty pro-law enforcement concept/theme. idk if that makes any sense but thanks for letting me ramble

hey yeah no problem! my inbox is always open for rambling – i love to read it!

i see what you mean and i agree w you to some degree, but also, like i don't think it's a lot to ask of mis/hka to both be critical of c*ps in the story while also allowing the mc to be critical of them too. my criticism is less that this is c*paganda, because yes, any media that humanizes c*ps functions as that, but regardless of that, there should be some level of scrutiny from mis/hka's end.

the point i'm making is that mis/hka could've made ab*se of power an overarching theme connecting humans and supernaturals alike, by leaning into the idea that "c*ps are corrupt, and so is the agency – no matter if you're human or supernatural, any structure meant to protect the people is going to be corrupt because people naturally ab*se power" but she's not doing that. i highly doubt that she's playing the long con.

she's teasing the idea that the mc can have thoughts about hating their job and their position, can be afraid of supernaturals, can be reluctant to join the agency – so, if mc is allowed to do that, then what's the point? is it leading to anything? is the agency corrupt? are the c*ps corrupt? from mis/hka's asks, she insists that the agency are good people (and by default the c*ps too). so then, 'why even give us this road if it's not leading anywhere?' is my question

like regardless of if she wants us to read this as a utopia, it's not. if mc shoots a du mortain, it's just "more paperwork" – don't really spend too much time thinking about the fact that what mc perceives to be is a human was shot by them. just as example. mc can literally choose in b3 to wipe bobby's brain – a c*p actively silencing a journalist (whoa we haven't seen that anywhere have we!). not to mention the like military grade stun volts that agents can just have and use on people. (also the t*rture.) i could go on forever but you get what i mean

again, i really do get what you're trying to say, but saying "this is c*paganda, what do you expect" and shutting down all discussion about expectations of the series isn't really the best way to approach it imo. you can and should examine media past the surface level thought of "this is c*paganda" – yes, we know that. you should counter with, and here's why! and as for what i expect – nuance. i expect a nuanced approach.

simply be mine - adam du mortain x f!detective (twc)

author’s note: i needed to write a fluff piece after my last fic, “cottage by the sea,” and got inspiration while listening to a couple songs (see prompt line below) for a new years’ eve party fic. i hope you enjoy!

copyright: all characters, except my oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles  – adam du mortain x f!detective (regina bishop) rating/warnings: 14+; descriptions of drinking  word count: 3.1k based on/prompt: “only girl in the world” by rihanna / “one and only” by adele summary: adam struggles to understand why anyone would care about human new years’ eve traditions, but when he finds out regina enjoys them, he finds himself intrigued.

simply be mine

when regina walked into the warehouse living room an hour before the agency’s new years’ eve party, she was pleasantly surprised to see unit bravo somewhat dressed up, even if they were standing around brooding like usual. she was both surprised and excited that she was invited to attend as well, without having to be someone’s plus one, even though she had been assured by both nate and farah that they would’ve invited her. she giggled internally at the memory of farah practically jumping off the walls of the warehouse living room in excitement, yelling what seemed like a hundred words per minute about going shopping and getting ready together.

she quickly learned that the rest of unit bravo hated attending agency work functions and avoided them as much as they could. however, everyone was “strongly encouraged” to attend the new years’ eve party, which she gathered from both morgan and adam that what the agency meant was “we better see you there or we’ll give you the worst cases next year.” she thought they were probably exaggerating a tiny bit, but let it slide.

perhaps to make up for the fact that they’d have to spend the night in a brightly lit and loud room for several hours with colleagues they didn’t care for, regina found that unit bravo had already started pregaming before she arrived, and they pregamed hard. she saw firsthand the sheer amount of alcohol they needed to consume just to feel a little buzzed.

another rare upside to being human, regina noted, a couple of shots of any brown liquor and she was good to go. of course, she only managed one shot of nate’s vintage prohibition-era whiskey before he snatched it away and started lecturing her on its rarity and history and had to settle for farah’s tequila.

“regina, do a shot with me!” farah practically screamed, bounding over to her with a half-empty bottle of tequila and limes in one hand and a pinch of salt in the palm of her other hand.

“who taught you how to do a tequila shot?” she asked incredulously as farah poured a generous shot for them both and handed her a lime.

“i looked it up online!” she said with such a proud look on her face that regina could only smile fondly at the person who had become her best friend on the team.

they both knocked back the shots and cringed, the salt and limes providing little relief to the burn; regina could only assume it was maybe ten times worse for farah. but then farah drained whatever was left in the bottle and let out a loud whoop before wrapping regina up in a big hug.

“i am soooooooo glad we get to celebrate with youuu!! you are the best person on this teammmmmm, after me, of course,” farah shouted and regina couldn’t help but laugh.

adam raised an eyebrow. “you mean she’s the best human on the team, don’t you, farah?”

“nopeeeeeeeeeeee. regina’s the bestttttttttt of us and you can’t convince me otherwiseeeee,” she said in a singsong voice, much to everyone else’s annoyance.

“hey farah, why don’t you put on some pre-party music?” regina suggested. farah’s eyes lit up and she sped away and disappeared before regina could blink.

she felt adam’s large presence behind her, casting a figurative shadow over her in the living room. the room was softly lit by the chandelier farah herself had selected, much to morgan’s annoyance. regina let herself lean back slightly without actually touching adam’s chest, knowing it would tempt him to wrap his hands around her waist.

except he only kept one hand hovering near her hip as he said in a low murmur, “you really shouldn’t encourage her, you know.”

the corner of her lips twitched as though it wanted to break into a smile, but regina knew adam wouldn’t appreciate being teased about being a ‘stick in the mud’ considering each member of unit bravo took their turn throughout the day telling him to lighten up.

“you know she’s not going to stop, so just let her have her fun,” she winked as a familiar song started vibrating through the walls, followed by farah’s vocals. “we’ll be heading out soon anyway.”

morgan let out a sound that was a cross between a loud huff and a growl as she stomped outside, cigarettes in hand.

“i want you to love me, like a hot ride,” farah sang out as she appeared in the living room, twirling gracefully as she leaped over the table to land in front of regina. “be thinking of me, doing what you like.”

regina laughed as adam sighed loudly, intending obviously for them to hear, before he walked over to where nate was leaning against the bookshelf with a glass of wine. she immediately missed the warmth of his body behind her, or rather, the tingle she got in her spine from the prospect of his touch. she took a long sip of her whiskey, willing herself to actually enjoy tonight and not dwell on the lack of progress between her and adam.

“come on, regina, sing with me!” farah grabbed her hand and started twirling her around, whatever was left of the whiskey sloshing out of the glass and on to the floor.

“want you to make me feel, like i’m the only girl in the world,” regina belted alongside farah, throwing her head back. “like i’m the only one you’ll ever love; like i’m the only one who knows your heart.”

farah grabbed the wine bottle on the table by nate before he could intervene and put it to her mouth like a microphone. “only girl in the worlddddd,” she crooned, before collapsing into a giggling fit on the couch, bringing regina down with her.

despite wanting to roll his eyes at farah’s antics, even nate couldn’t help but smile at how cheerful his family was and how nice it was to celebrate the holidays together.

“we should get going soon,” he said, finishing his glass of wine.

“no, wait, regina’s not dressed!” farah said, immediately standing and pulling regina up with her.

“what are you talking about? i am dressed,” regina protested, motioning toward her tailored dress pants and blouse.

farah wrinkled her nose. “oh honey, no. this is a fancy party and you need to dress like it. come on!” before she could protest further, farah had dragged her back toward her room.

* * * * * “you know, regina might appreciate it if you partake in some new years’ traditions,” nate said quietly, glancing over at his longtime friend, who was staring out the window.

adam looked over at him with one eyebrow raised. “and what traditions would that be?”

nate smiled mischievously. “well, the one that seems to be really popular among humans is kissing someone at midnight.”

nate could feel adam’s shoulders tense a fraction of a second before he saw the physical movement itself. “that is an impractical and inane tradition. i would think the detective to be above such childish antics.”

now it was nate’s turn to raise an eyebrow at him. “and i think she’d appreciate the romantic gesture. it’s not childish to want to ring in the new year with someone you care for.”

before adam could retort, the sound of heels clacking along the hallway and the gentle swishing movement of fabric drew his attention toward the only thing that was capable of unraveling centuries of carefully architected walls with a single glance. regina appeared in the living room, farah’s arm looped in hers, dressed in a strapless black floor-length gown with a sweetheart neckline and slit that went all the way up to her mid-thigh.

adam’s eyes followed the length of the slit; the creamy complexion of her skin drawing him in. his gaze traced the way the fabric clung to her curves, dipping at the waist before cupping her chest. her hair was styled in soft waves to one side, leaving her collarbone and neck exposed. he didn’t realize his eyes were continuing to trace the delicate lines of her neck and jaw, before they landed on her red lips. they were lighter than blood and yet, just as, if not more, enticing to him.

he watched as the corner of those luscious lips quirked up into a smirk, which seemed to snap him out of his trance. his gaze shot upward to meet her teasing blue ones, not realizing that his feet seemed to move of their own accord until he was standing right in front of her.

“can i help you, commanding agent du mortain?” regina said, the low and sultry tone of her voice sending warmth south in an unfamiliar, but not wholly unpleasant way.

adam’s throat suddenly felt dry – an odd, human-like sensation that made him pause, until he realized that regina was suddenly very close. too close. he inwardly begged his legs to take a step back, but they wouldn’t budge, and he wasn’t sure if he really wanted to anyway.

“your… dress. it’s impractical. what if you were to get attacked?” he said slowly after clearing his throat, clasping his hands behind his back.

regina smiled and gazed up at him knowingly, a look that was both infuriating and intoxicating. as though she could read every piece of his soul back to him and love all of him anyway.

“don’t worry, i have my volt gun strapped to my thigh, see?” she reached for his hand, her touch sending a jolt up his arm that would worry him for medical reasons if he were human, but instead was stoking a deep primal urge within him as she moved it toward the back of her thigh.

the familiar rectangular gun was firm underneath his fingers and even though regina had let go of his hand, he held on, not quite allowing himself to graze her skin, but feeling her body heat at the tips of his fingertips all the same.

“besides, i know you all will be keeping an eye on me,” she said, batting her eyelashes at him. adam could hear the flutter of each lash against the air and found himself wondering how they’d feel against his skin as she kissed her way down his chest.

“of course, i— i mean, we, won’t let anything happen to you,” he said, moving his hand back behind him, flexing it once before resuming his stance.

“well, i only care that you are keeping an eye on me, commanding agent,” she said, giving him a flirty wink before putting on her coat and following farah out to the car.

adam let out an audible groan and rubbed his face with his hands. nate clasped a hand on his shoulder and he looked over to see his best friend was smirking at him.

“it’s okay. but if you’re going to pretend like there’s nothing between you all night, then you won’t mind if we all take turns dancing with her, right?” his smile only widened as adam’s mouth parted in stunned surprise. “come on or we’ll be late.”

* * * * * adam stood, tense and rigid, in a corner of the ballroom near the balcony doors with morgan, who ducked out every so often when the lights and sounds got to be too much, while nate and farah took turns dancing with regina. it baffled him how an entire room full of trained agents could let themselves potentially be compromised by partaking in such celebratory activities. even his own team, although he would admit only to himself that they needed the break.

farah loved the upbeat songs that allowed her to twirl regina around as fast as she could, and he wondered how regina could handle what must be incredibly dizzying and nauseating for a human. and then there was nate, who took advantage of the slow ballads and classic waltzing music sprinkled throughout the evening, to lead regina around in simple box steps. it was very unlike adam to care what his team did during events like this, as long as they behaved themselves, but something about how nate would lean in every once in a while to say something and make regina laugh made him want to crush every glass in sight.

he crossed his arms and glared at the back of nate’s head, knowing he was doing this to antagonize him, somehow. he felt his gaze unwillingly soften, however, whenever he felt regina’s eyes glance over at him. he quickly looked away when he realized she was walking toward him, surveying the room as though he was being vigilant.

“not fond of dancing?” she asked, the words coming out in soft gasps as she sought to catch her breath.

“i don’t see the point,” he said quickly, the defensiveness in his tone catching even him by surprise. surely, he didn’t need to explain himself.

“sometimes things don’t have to have a point to be enjoyable,” she offered, her voice pleasantly cutting through the din of the party. “and i really like dancing.”

regina let out a soft hum as nate arrived and handed her a drink. she drank it gratefully, giving nate a gentle smile that made adam grit his teeth. morgan appeared next to her and swiftly took regina’s drink, finishing it despite her half-hearted protest.

“so, regina, what is your favorite new years’ eve tradition?” nate asked, hiding his smile behind his glass of wine and ignoring adam’s pointed glare.

“oh well, i always like how excited everyone gets and parties like this are definitely fun,” regina answered, pausing for just a moment to look down at her glass hesitantly before continuing, “but the best one is of course getting to kiss someone at midnight.”

“it’ll be midnight soon, do you have anyone you plan to kiss yet?” morgan asked, slinging an arm around regina’s shoulders. “i’m free at midnight, if you’re interested.”

adam cleared his throat. “that would be unprofessional, agent.”

morgan brought another cigarette to her lips. nate stopped her hand with the lighter and motioned to the balcony. “let’s get some air, morgan, and leave these two alone.”

“sure, if you think that means he’ll actually kiss her before i do,” morgan snickered, too soft for regina to hear but it was obviously directed at adam.

a soft romantic melody started playing over the speakers; a love ballad that regina was familiar with, judging by the way she started humming along and swaying gently in place.

i don't know why i'm scared i've been here before every feeling, every word i've imagined it all you'll never know if you never try to forget your past and simply be mine

regina blinked at adam’s sudden appearance in front of her, his large figure towering over hers and blocking the chandelier from her sight.

“you like this song.” it technically wasn’t a question.

“um, i guess?” she asked, puzzled.

“you should dance,” he said, his hands itching to reach for hers.

regina tilted her head to the side and looked up at him searchingly, her blue eyes delicately framed by her long dark lashes. “are you asking me to dance?”

he pursed his lips into a thin, straight line. “you would need a partner, and seeing as no one else is around, i can… dance with you. if you’d like.”

her eyebrows shot up in surprise. she was not expecting adam du mortain to willingly admit to asking her to dance. she quickly looked around and noticed that most of the agents had gone out on the balcony to watch the fireworks.

she smiled and tucked her hand gently into his and led him to the dance floor. they settled into a swaying rhythm as regina wrapped her arms around his neck. adam hesitantly placed his hands on her waist, and a sweet heat bloomed throughout her body, making her feel flushed.

“i thought dancing was pointless?” she asked teasingly after encouraging him to shift his weight between his feet to match her movements.

adam lowered his head, as if he didn’t want anyone reading his lips or hearing what he was about to say. “with you… it doesn’t seem that way.”

regina shook her head fondly. “you continue to surprise me, commanding agent.”

i dare you to let me be your, your one and only i promise i'm worthy to hold in your arms so come on and give me the chance to prove i am the one who can walk that mile until the end starts

“i hope so,” he muttered quietly. “i have lived over nine centuries, yet every day with you seems new and uncertain.”

regina was afraid to ruin the moment by saying anything and decided to step closer and rest her head on his shoulder instead. she smiled when his hands tightened around her waist, bunching the fabric in a way that she was sure would leave wrinkles.

“10…9…8”

her head shot up at the sound of the crowd outside counting down the last few seconds to the new year. “i didn’t realize it was almost midnight, we should go join everyone.”

adam’s green eyes bore into hers and she was close enough that she could see little specks of gold reflected in them from the chandeliers and ornate décor throughout the room. “you… you want to kiss mor—ahem, someone at midnight.”

“7…6…5”

“oh, i didn’t mean anything by it,” she said quickly, giving him a reassuring smile. she tried taking a step back only to find that adam was holding her tightly in place.

“but it’s a tradition you enjoy.” it was a statement, but he was looking for confirmation while trying to maintain his composure despite his heart hammering so loudly in his chest he thought regina would be able to hear it.

“4…3…2”

she dropped her hands from his shoulders and let them rest on his chest, fiddling with the lapels of his jacket nervously. “oh well, i— i suppose with someone i care for, yes.”

the final second and cheers from the balcony faded into the background as adam leaned forward and touched his lips lightly to hers; they were softer than he imagined, even with the layer of faded lipstick between them.

regina’s body instinctively arched closer to his as she sought to deepen the kiss, her hands scrambling for some part of his shirt she could hold on to. she barely registered that it was over all too soon as adam pulled back, her head spinning from the kiss in a good way.

“happy new year, detective,” he whispered hoarsely, resting his forehead against hers briefly before stepping back and walking away.

regina touched her lips to savor the pleasant tingling feeling the kiss had left behind. happy new year indeed.

Even more twc rambling with the twins and Reese and uh spoilers from that fight in book 2 if you haven’t played through that yet

I keep thinking about that last fight with the trappers and how different the twins and Reese react to their respective LIs being down (in their own separate game canon universes)

Like when Adam tells Pax that they have to get Nate help, Pax is like “yeah of course”. Like of course he’s in disbelief and SO INCREDIBLY WORRIED but he can bury that beneath rationalization of what needs to be done in the aftermath of that fight. It doesn’t stop him from playing the fight over and over again in his head wondering if there was something anything he could have done to save both Sanja and Nate. This is the second time he feels like he’s failing someone he loves cares about (the first time being the fight with Murphy, the transfusion was worse for him so he really couldn’t do much and then of course he watched his sister get bit and nearly bleed to death) and that takes up a lot of headspace in those moments.

Poloma though is just SO shocked that Trappers, humans at that, could take down Mason of all of UB that she just...doesn’t register that someone else is talking to her for a second? Plus she starts to register that there are some real serious, real Big emotions swirling around in her chest and she’s not sure about all that. Like “ahahaha what’s that feeling idk man it’s not like its serious or anything, it’s just a little fling don’t know what Those emotions are doing here aha....” There isn’t any guilt though, not like with Pax and Nate. They were there to save Sanja and she is so sure that if their positions had been switched, Mason would have made the same choice she did and honestly that’s exactly what she would have wanted.

And then Reese, leaning over Felix, hears a voice behind them and their first reaction is PROTECT, so they reach for their Volt which isn’t there but they’re still ready to take down whoever the FUCK just snuck up on them. Of course it’s just Adam but it takes them a second to realize that before they simply nod and move out of the way. Then Reese is just so incredibly subdued which is such a huge change from their usual bright personality, not only because they’re worried but because they saw the look on Felix’s face before they saved Sanja and they’re so wracked with guilt over the whole thing. Like they’re legit worried that Felix is going to think that they abandoned him and don’t actually care about him when that is so far from the truth. 

AND IDK MAN I JUST I love them all very much and that is such a moment for all of them to be on the otherside of things with their LIs hurt

A Lexus projektje mellé neves hollywoodi rendezők sorakoztak fel

A Lexus immáron nem egyszerűen autógyártóként, sokkal inkább globális luxus életstílus-márkaként határozza meg magát, amely az elmúlt években számos izgalmas projektet tudhat maga mögött a divat, a mozi vagy épp a dizájn világában.

Ezek közül az egyik legsikeresebb a Lexus Rövidfilmek amely fiatal, feltörekvő filmrendezők számára teremt lehetőséget a nemzetközi bemutatkozásra, és karrierjük elindítására. Az idén negyedik évadját megkezdő projekt mellé idén is neves hollywoodi rendezők sorakoztak fel zsűritagként.

A környezetbarát hibrid modelljeiről, az autóinak a kézműves kivitelezés és a luxus legmagasabb szintjét képviselő prémium kidolgozottságáról, letisztult, futurisztikus formavezetéséről, és az azokban bemutatkozó forradalmi, jövőbemutató technológiákról ismert Lexus már évek óta több, mint egy egyszerű luxusautó gyártó. A társadalmi felelősségvállalás, így a kultúra támogatása mellett a közélet, a divat és a dizájn világának számos területén szerepet vállaló japán márka egyértelműen a jövő egyik meghatározó luxus életstílus márkájának szerepére tör.

Az évek óta nagy sikerű, számos nemzetközi díjat és elismerést elhozó Lexus Rövidfilmek negyedik évadának júniusi bejelentése után a japán márka és a Weinstein Company nyilvánosságra hozta, hogy a filmeket kiválasztó jelölő bizottságnak Taylor Sheridan mellett Patty Jenkins (a Warner Bros. és a DC Comics produkciójaként forgatott Wonder Woman és a Rém rendezője), valamint Antoine Fuqua (A hét mesterlövész, A védelmező és a Kiképzés rendezője) is tagja lesz. A jelölő bizottság feladata a pályázó filmesek munkáinak értékelése és a legjobb alkotók kiválasztása, akik a Weinstein Company segítségével készíthetik el új filmjüket. Patty Jenkins, Antoine Fuqua és Taylor Sheridan áttekintik a nevezéseket, és kijelölik, hogy szerintük melyik a legjobb négy mű a Withoutabox nevű gyűjtőoldalon keresztül beküldött filmek közül. A kiválasztott döntősök találkozhatnak majd Pattyvel, Antoine-nal és Taylorral, amikor elkészítik saját rövidfilmjüket. A Lexus International és a Weinstein Company azt remélik, hogy segítségükkel a filmesek új generációja sikeresen kapcsolódhat be a filmipar vérkeringésébe.

A jelölő bizottság arra is figyel majd, hogy kik azok a filmesek, akik a legjobban megragadták az idei év témáját, az ÁTALAKULÁST, érzékletesen ábrázolva azt a folyamatot, amint a megszokott valami szokatlanná változik. A nevezéseket augusztus 31-ig lehet leadni a Withoutabox-on keresztül.

“Reméljük, hogy idei programunkban is felfedezhetünk majd néhány hihetetlen tehetséget. Kíváncsian várjuk, melyik filmekről gondolják úgy a jelölő bizottság tagjai, hogy világszínvonalú élményt nyújthatnak a Lexus Rövidfilmek programban” – fogalmaz Weinstein Company társelnöke, Harvey Weinstein.

Jenkins, Fuqua és Sheridan mellett a Weinstein Company és a Lexus felsővezetői is megtekintik majd a filmkészítők ajánlott munkáit, s végül így alakul ki a négy döntős névsora. A filmeket idén is Joey Horvitz és a Weinstein Company gyártja.

“Lehetőséget adunk a fiatal tehetségeknek, hogy jó irányba indulhasson el a filmes pályafutásuk” – avat be David Glasser, a Weinstein Company elnök-vezérigazgatója.

A Lexus Rövidfilmek program a feltörekvő filmesek új generációit támogatja. A Lexus és a Weinstein Company segítségével ezek a filmkészítők életre kelthetik elképzeléseiket, és valóra válthatják álmaikat.

“Szakértő zsűrink és a Weinstein Company hatalmas tapasztalattal rendelkezik a filmkészítésben, így biztosak vagyunk benne, hogy a Lexus Rövidfilmek idei, negyedik évada még a számos díjat eredményező harmadik évadnál is sikeresebb lesz.” – teszi hozzá Spiros Fotinos, a Lexus globális marketing-igazgatója.

Patty Jenkins

Patty Jenkins legismertebb munkája az általa írt és rendezett, a Warner Bros. és a DC Comics produkciójaként készített Wonder Woman, illetve első filmje, a Rém, ami a sorozatgyilkosságért elítélt Aileen Wuornos életéről szólt, emellett ő készítette az AMC csatorna Gyilkosság című krimisorozatának pilotját is. Patty festőként kezdte pályafutását a New York-i The Cooper Unionnál. Amikor a filmezésre váltott, nyolc éven át dolgozott operatőr-asszisztensként. Ezt követően írta és rendezte meg a Rémet, amivel benevezett a Los Angeles-i AFI filmfesztiválra.

Roger Ebert szerint a Rém az évtized harmadik legjobb filmje, így méltán érdemelte ki az Év Filmje díjat és az AFI fesztivál által odaítélt az Év Tíz Legjobb Filmje címet. Charlize Theron is számos díjat szerzett a filmmel, megnyerve az Oscart, a Golden Globe-ot, a SAG-ot és számos elismerést a Legjobb Színésznő kategóriában. Patty is sok díjat és nevezést gyűjtött be, többek közt a 2004-es Independent Spirit Awards Legjobb Első Alkotás díját. Jenkins rengeteg reklámfilmet és TV-programot rendezett, egyebek közt az AMC csatorna Gyilkosság című krimisorozatának pilotját és záró epizódját is, amit Emmy díjra jelöltek, és elnyerte a DGA legjobb drámai rendezésért járó díját. Emellett több pilotot és epizódot rendezett olyan produkci��kban, mint az Ítélet: család (Fox) vagy a Törtetők (HBO). Ezután újabb Emmy-jelölés következett a mellrákról készített rövidfilm-sorozatért, amelyben olyan nevekkel dolgozott együtt, mint Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore and Penelope Spheeris. 2017-ben Jenkins újabb elismerést szerzett a Wonder Womancímű filmmel, amely eddigi 788.6 millió dolláros bevételével nemcsak óriási kasszasikernek bizonyult, hanem kiváló kritikákat is kapott.

Antoine Fuqua

Antoine Fuqua az új generációs filmesek egyik legnépszerűbb alakja, akinek műveiben harmonikusan keverednek az akciójelenetek és a jól kidolgozott karakterekkel felépített történeti szálak. Fuqua legújabb munkája A hét mesterlövész, ami az 1960-as western remake-jeként és a Akira Kurosawa Hét szamuráj című filmjének feldolgozásaként született. A hét mesterlövésszel Fuqua modern és stílusos környezetbe helyezi a klasszikus történetet, méghozzá olyan nemzetközi szereplőgárdával, amelynek Chris Pratt, Denzel Washington és Ethan Hawke is tagja. Fuqua következő alkotása a Védelmező 2. lesz, amelyben immár negyedszer dolgozik együtt Denzel Washingtonnal, a filmet 2018. szeptember 14-én mutatja be a Sony. Ezt megelőzően Fuqua a Weinstein Company produkcióját, a Mélyütés című drámát rendezte Jake Gyllenhaallal a főszerepben, valamint a Védelmezőt a Sony számára. Fuqua nagy sikerű munkái közt tartják még számon a Kiképzés című drámát, amiért Denzel Washington megkapta a legjobb színészi alakításért járó Akadémiai Díjat, Ethan Hawke pedig a legjobb mellékszereplő jelölését. Ugyancsak ő rendezte a Támadás a Fehér Ház ellen című filmet is Clive Owen főszereplésével, akárcsak a Lightning in a Bottle című nagy sikerű blues-dokumentumfilmet, aminek producere Martin Scorsese volt. Saját filmes vállalakozása, a Fuqua Films révén sok filmes és televíziós tartalmat készít. Jelenleg producerként vesz részt a Fox új kórházi drámája, a The Resident elkészítésében, és ugyancsak producerként dolgozik – Lebron James partnereként – az HBO egyelőre még cím nélküli, többrészes dokumentumfilmjén, amely Muhammad Ali életéről és pályafutásáról szól. Fuqua mindemellett rendkívül sikeres reklámfilm- és videoklip-rendező is, aki olyan márkákkal dolgozott már együtt, mint a Nike, az Armani és a Pirelli, és ezen a téren is számos díjat kapott. Mély elkötelezettséggel támogatja a hátrányos helyzetű fiatalokat, és sokuknak biztosítja az újrakezdés lehetőségét a filmgyártásban. A The Opportunity Network nemrégiben kitüntette jótékonysági munkájáért.

Taylor Sheridan

Taylor Sheridan 2012-ben adta el a Préri urai forgatókönyvét a Sidney Kimmel Entertainmentnek. A Nyugat-Texas elhagyatott vidékén játszódó filmet 2016 augusztusában mutatta be a CBS Chris Pine, Ben Foster, és Jeff Bridges főszereplésével. A forgatókönyvért a 2016-os Gotham Awards és a Critics’ Choice Awards, valamint a 2017-es Independent Spirit Awards díjára jelölték Taylort. Előző forgatókönyve a SICARIO – A bérgyilkos volt, amit Denis Villeneuve rendezett Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt és Josh Brolin szereplésével, a 2015-ben bemutatott film nemcsak a kritikusok elismerését szerezte meg, hanem komoly kasszasiker is lett. A SICARIO folytatását jelenleg forgatják SOLDADO címmel, Stefano Sollima rendezésében. A moziban Del Toro és Brolin korábbi szerepében tűnik majd fel. Sheridan jelenleg egy francia film, a Maryland adaptációján dolgozik az Escape Artists és a Sony Pictures megbízásából, ezt megelőzően pedig Howard Blum DARK INVASION című regényét dolgozta fel a Warner Bros. számára. Sheridan korábban Andrew Lauren két projektjében is dolgozott. Több televíziós produkcióban is részt vett, többek közt a Yellowstone című sorozatának előmunkálataiban, amit a Paramount Network készített Art és Jon Linson producerek közreműködésével.

Harvey Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein a The Weinstein Company (TWC) nevű multimédia céget 2005. október 1-jén hozta létre testvérével, Bobbal. Az alapítás óta a TWC olyan nagysikerű filmeket gyártott, mint A KIRÁLY BESZÉDE, A NÉMAFILMES, a NAPOS OLDAL; a DJANGO ELSZABADUL és a KÓDJÁTSZMA. A TWC egyik vállalata a Dimension Films, amely olyan népszerű franchiseokat dobott piacra, mint a SIKOLY, a KÉMKÖLYKÖK, illetve a HORRORRA AKADVA. A TWC és a Dimension Films rengeteg gazdaságilag és a kritikusok körében egyaránt sikeres zsáner-, közönség-és művészfilmet adott ki. Harvey és Bob igazgatása alatt a Miramax és a TWC 357 Oscar nevezést és 82 Oscar-díjat szerzett. A TWC legutóbbi filmjei között olyan produkciók szerepelnek, mint a CAROL, az ALJAS NYOLCAS, a HANDS OF STONE, AZ ALAPÍTÓ, valamint a legjobb film kategóriában Oscar-díjra jelölt OROSZLÁN.

A TWC aktív tévéprodukciós részleget is fenntart, melynek köszönhetően már 12 Emmy jelölést tudhat magáénak. A Weinstein Television nevét olyan reality sikerek fémjelzik, mint a PROJECT RUNWAY, illetve olyan sorozatok mint a HÁBORÚ ÉS BÉKE, melyet az A&E, a Lifetime és a HISTORY mutatott be 2016 januárjában, a BIRMINGHAM BANDÁJA a Netflixen, a JULIAN FELLOWE DOCTOR THORNE-ja az Amazonnal közösen, Stephen King A KÖD-je a Spike TV-n, valamint a HISTORY számára készített katonai dráma, a SIX. A Weinstein Books, amely a TWC és a The Perseus Books Group közös vállalkozása, jelentős és befolyásos szerzők műveit adja ki, többek között olyan New York Times bestsellereket mint Michelle Knight FINDING ME-je vagy and Mika Brzezinski OBSESSED című könyve. 2015-ben Weinstein megalapította a Weinstein Live Entertainmentet, amely független csoportként színdarabok létrehozásában vesz részt mint befektető és producer. Olyan darabok fűződnek a cég nevéhez, mint az ÉN, PÁN PÉTER című Broadway-musical Diane Paulus rendezésében, illetve a NEW YORK SPRING SPECTACULAR a RADIO CITY ROCKETTES-szel, a FUN HOME, AZ ELEFÁNTEMBER, a WOLF HALL és a THE AUDIENCE a Radio City-ben. Weinstein és testvére 1979-ben alapították a Miramax Films vállalatot, melyet szüleikről, Miriamról és Maxról neveztek el. Vezetésükkel a modern mozi legelismertebb és üzletileg legsikeresebb független filmjeit készítették el, amit a tizenhat év alatt tizenhat „Legjobb film” jelölés is bizonyít. A Miramax-filmek kimagasló színvonala az Oscar-díjért való versengés sikereiben is megmutatkozik.

running - felix hauville x f!detective (twc)

author’s note: i was talking about my F-mancing detective with some discord friends, particularly about which of our detectives was the rebellious type, and this scenario wouldn’t leave my head. i hope you enjoy!

running

the quiet of the darkness around them made the hairs on the back of hayley’s neck stand on end. she couldn’t see anything, not even the leaves on the trees around them. the only thing keeping her from panicking was knowing that felix was by her side and could see in the dark, his gold eyes flitting over to look at her every so often, giving the appearance of fireflies against the dark backdrop.

she could feel her fingers twitching out of anxiety and fear and tried to enclose them into a fist. soft, warm hands curled around hers, unraveling her fingers one by one before interlacing their fingers tightly. she tensed slightly from anticipation, a shiver working its way down her body to her toes as felix pressed himself to her side.

“you okay?” his eyes searching hers and hayley felt herself being drawn in, the amber in them calming her nerves.

she nodded, knowing he could see and sense the movement. it still caught her by surprise sometimes at how natural their relationship felt, being with him just felt right. she could feel herself moving toward him when the gold of his eyes suddenly disappeared.

“what is it?” she whispered, as felix’s grip on her hand tightened slightly.

“we’re not alone,” he whispered back, letting go of her hand and shifting his body in front of hers.

hayley finally heard what felix had noticed a few minutes earlier, which in her experience so far with the supernatural world, meant that whatever was lurking in the shadows was practically upon them. she shifted her weight to lower her center of gravity, positioning her legs so she could easily run or attack and stilled, listening for the leaves crunching softly and branches shifting from multiple directions.

“how many?” she asked quietly, knowing that the odds of them surviving a direct confrontation were slim to none.

“too many,” he whispered back, nudging her further behind him. “we need to run.”

a low, sinister chuckle from the dark mass in front of them sent fear shooting up hayley’s spine and settling at the base of her neck.

“what a surprise, pretty boy wants to run,” a deep, hoarse voice reverberated in the still forest, and hayley felt felix tense beside her.

“what did you just call my man?” hayley called out defiantly.

she heard another set of footsteps to her left, but still couldn’t see anything. “aw, pretty boy has a little human to protect him. how cute.”

a chorus of laughter reverberated through the trees and hayley tried to follow the source of it with her eyes before they widened in realization. they were surrounded.

“why don’t you go be assholes somewhere else?” she heard herself call out and was inwardly surprised at her own audacity. she assumed somewhere ava was rolling her eyes. clearly, this wasn’t the time for false bravado.

sinister chuckles seemed to reverberate throughout the forest around them, sending chills down hayley’s spine. she had never felt so powerless, but then again, she had never been in a situation where none of her senses could help her. it was not only completely dark, but the world was silent around them. no bird calls or animals scampering across the trees. no breezes gently shuffling the leaves.

“c’mon, ava told us not to engage if we can avoid it. this was supposed to just be a recon mission,” he said, trying to nudge her to move behind him.

hayley let out a growl in frustration. “ava’s not the boss of me,” she whispered stubbornly, but even she knew felix was right.

“babe, they’re not trappers, they’re supernaturals. i care more about us getting out of here in one piece, please?” felix pleaded, reaching for her hand.

“no one insults my baby,” she muttered half-heartedly, the tension leaving her shoulders in resignation.

despite the very real and very dangerous circumstances they were in, felix couldn’t help but smile and swoop in to catch hayley by surprise with a kiss.

“and i love you for that, but please, can we run?”

hayley’s voice caught in her throat and it was all she could do to just nod. it was definitely not the time or place to address the fact that they hadn’t said those three words to each other before and felix definitely wasn’t aware of what he had just said.

her attention was brought back to the present as his grip on her hand tightened. an unnatural wind whipped around them, growing faster and sharper as it grasped at the loose tendrils of hair from her bun and scratched at her skin. she reached down and grabbed her volt gun from its holster. just as quickly as the wind started up, it stopped. the air had stilled once more, to the point where hayley was afraid to take a breath.

“hayley,” felix whispered, “run.”

she sprinted behind him, letting his grip on her hand guide her over any roots or obstacles as she willed her body to move as fast as it could, her thighs burning as she strained to keep up with him. the whispered taunts and movement through the trees were all around them, beating loudly in her ears and threatening constantly to send her into a panic.

hayley kept her volt gun charged and if she needed to, she could grab the dmb spray from her pocket, but she tried to focus on maintaining her pace, the reassuring warmth of felix’s tightened hold the only thing she had to guide her.

she knew she was slowing him down. tree branches scratched her skin relentlessly and she kept stumbling over a root or rock every other step. it was all she could do to hold back the yelps of pain at the back of her throat and keep moving.

she was always holding him back.

“felix, i can’t—” she panted, her calves aching.

he held on tighter and tried to pull her closer. “no, don’t even think about it. i can see ava and mason, just a little more, babe.” he didn’t sound the least bit winded, and hayley would’ve been annoyed if her lungs weren’t on fire.

just a little more, his voice echoed in her head like a mantra and hayley just begged her body to keep going, keep running, even as her breaths burned up in her lungs and the stitches in her side started spreading up and down her body. her limbs were starting to go numb, but she kept flexing her grip around her volt gun, with a finger firmly on the trigger.

sudden movements too fast for her eyes to notice appeared parallel to them, judging by the way felix’s head kept turning left and right. they were almost at the rendezvous point, where the rest of the team was waiting, but she could tell these rogue supernaturals weren’t backing off based on the yelps and grunts from felix as he tried his best to dodge and keep them away from her.

“close your eyes!” ava’s voice cut through the dark and gave hayley the reprieve she never would’ve expected from unit bravo’s leader; she felt her breath finally escape her lungs and catch in her throat at the sound.

she suddenly felt her body fall forward before being yanked sideways and thrown against the rough bark of a tree. her spine hit the bark right before a bright, blinding white light flashed through the forest. she squeezed her eyes shut but not before she was enveloped in the warmth of felix’s rapid heartbeat melding with her own pulsing one.

her chest heaved and her breath came in large, loud gulps to ease the burn in her lungs. she tucked her forehead against felix’s collarbone to further shield her eyes from the blinding light, which she could see even through her closed eyelids.

time seemed to slow down as shrieks from their pursuers resounded loudly before fading into the distance. the forest was still again, except for leaves crunching underfoot of the other members of unit bravo. hayley took a shaky step forward as felix released her from the tree, keeping a supportive arm around her waist. she was sure she’d collapse to her knees otherwise.

“are you both okay? are you injured anywhere?” nat’s worried voice made hayley smile, she could finally breathe easy.

“we’re okay. you got here just in time,” felix said in a cheerful tone, but hayley could hear the serious undertone that indicated he had been really worried – for her.

even though she still couldn’t see them clearly, hayley knew that ava was nodding. “let’s get back to the warehouse. we’ll debrief in the morning.”

back at the warehouse

hayley had been quiet the entire ride back to the warehouse, letting felix’s occasional chatter fill the space of the roomy agency suv. now that she wasn’t in mortal danger, her mind kept replaying the night’s events over and over in her mind, analyzing the mistakes she made and trying to identify ways she could be less of a burden on the team.

if that was all she was thinking about, she’d tell herself to get some sleep and deal with it in the morning with a clear head. unfortunately, one particular scene wouldn’t dislodge itself from her brain and as she followed felix to his room, she knew she wasn’t going to be able to get any sleep until she got some answers.

felix flopped on the bed and let out a groan. “what a night. you doing okay, babe?”

“yeah…” hayley trailed off as she made her way slowly to the bed, sitting down next to him and tucking her knees under her chin.

he sat up and looked at her, brow furrowed with worry. “what’s wrong?”

hayley bit her lip nervously and hesitated before meeting his gaze. it was probably better to just be direct about it. “do you remember saying that you love me earlier?” she asked slowly, her shoulders tense with anticipation.

felix’s eyes widened and she thought she saw a flicker of fear before he tried to laugh it off. “oh, well, you know, i was caught up in the moment and didn’t mean to say it. not that i didn’t mean it, i wouldn’t say something like that and not mean it - you have to know i do mean it, right? but i don’t want you to feel pressured – am i rambling? i’m rambling aren’t i?”

hayley just smiled and leaned in to give him a kiss, feeling his lips curve upward into a smile under hers. she pulled back slightly to whisper, “i love you too.”

she knew she’d never get tired of seeing felix’s amber eyes glimmer with utter happiness, but tonight, they were the brightest she’d ever seen.
