#your backgrounds are AMAZING what the heck

[ophelialoveshandsomemen]

Say what you will about Van Helsing 2004; hate it, love it, be indifferent, But the All-Hallow's masquerade ball went sooooo hard and it had zero right to do so! It's a fun, campy, monster mash movie with wonderfully dated ( and expensive) cgi and non-stop action meant to be a popcorn flick one takes out to watch around spooky season. And it has this* chef's kiss* GORGEOUS 6 minute sequence plopped arbitrarily in the second act, which unexpectedly surpasses nearly every other ball in the last 30+ years of film( notable exception being the Cinderella 2015 ball) for literally no reason other than to be dramatic af.

Like feast your eyes on this Gothic masterpiece!!! Who doesn't want to immediately live in this picture?!??

They used those candles with oil in them so that they would have real candles, real string orchestra( I believe), probably around 100 real life extras( something which is tragically absent in modern film), said extras are all in beautiful fully decked-out costumes( which are in luxuriously dark colours, but nearly no fully black, another thing you cannot say for much modern cinema), REAL CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PERFORMERS for all the acrobatics!!!! Hell, instead of filming in a sound stage, where they could control the reverb and the acoustics and the size of the set and the bloody lighting ( they apparently had a heck of a time emulating the firelight for this sequence) and the temperature( it's very cold in stone churches!) better, they filmed in a Baroque church in Prague! As I said, peak dramatic splendour, jfc...

Think about that a second...They filmed a vampire masquerade in a Baroque Catholic Church( St. Nicholas' in Lesser Town, if you were curious) with amazing over-the-top acoustics and marble statues and real, tiled floors and marble pillars and a choir loft which they very much utilized, covered the pipe organ and the altar with a grand brocade curtain so it wouldn't be so obviously a, you know, a church! And there's a gold gilt elevated and canopied pulpit into which they put two vampire kiddies for, again, the sake of being dramatic.

And the costumes! They remind me of the 25th anniversary Phantom of the Opera Masquerade costumes. Same quality, like they're old, well-cared-for costumes pulled out of a warehouse, instead of fast industry churn-outs. With lots of trim and colour and masks and lace and feathers and..just...ugh.. they are all perfect! Just look at all the head pieces on the ladies and the hats on all the gentleman ( save Dracula of course) and the powdered wigs on the musicians. ANNNNDD! The dresses are historically correct!!!!!! It's the 80's bustle era! Nobody does the 80's bustle era in film anymore and it's a bummer. Oh and one other thing! Anna's ( and other women's) hair, at least here in the ball, is also historically accurate because it's all pinned up! None of those fucken modern beachwaves at a ball! Everybody's got updo's!

Gah, I swear, Dracula in his gold cloak really does things to me in this scene!

By the way, the acrobatics are bonkers in here for just background stuff!! Especially the random guys on unicycles and the dude playing the violin whilst standing on a ball...Like....WHAT?

Anyways, all this to say, that this masquerade ball feels sooo real and tangible and because of that it blows every other film out of the water, and no, I will not change my mind!!!!!

Here's a few more gifs, bcuz, why the hell not, this scene is sexy as fuu*ck?

Alright I need to go to bed now.

Lunch Preferences | LN4

Ships: Lando Norris x Personal Chef! Reader , Platonic! Oscar Piastri x Personal Chef! Reader

Warnings : None

Genre: fluff

Summary : Oscar’s food always tasted better and Lando finds out why.

Part 2

Lando was never adventurous when it came to certain things , most importantly when it came to the food that he consumed — His best friend Max could vouch on that , heck the entire grid and the whole McLaren hospitality can say it.

When it came down to it , when Lando didn’t like the ingredient used in the meal served in the Motorhome cafeteria, a special meal is always prepared for the Golden Boy of Mclaren. Most find it funny but the kitchen staff found it extremely annoying; to them Lando was a diva.

Kitchen personnel and caterers are shuffled within motorhomes and during races in different countries and it became problematic for Mclaren due to the new personnel’s lack of knowledge of their driver’s preferences. Funnily enough, this has become an issue much so that a protocol has been made stating that when a new driver is signed they are given their own personal chef that tours around with them during the races.

Cut to Oscar Piastri joining the Papaya Family, and Y/n L/n had been added to the roster. The Australian driver and Y/n had met during Oscar’s F2 season and had quickly formed a bond, by bond meaning Y/N fuels Oscar’s obsession with sweets. The aussie became obsessed, much so that when the “personal chef” clause came up in his contract, his immediate answer was “ Y/N L/N”.

“Osc what the hell? What do you mean you got me a job at Mclaren? Are you high on sugar again?” You asked in disbelief as you stared at the Australian, eyebrow raised.

You and Oscar are currently in his kitchen in his apartment in the UK. You were trying to bake your f2 paddock famous cookies while Oscar tries to help , emphasis on tries.

“Oh come on Y/N! You’re perfect for this. You know my likes and dislikes . Plus you know how to trick me into eating my veggies” Oscar said exasperatingly.

“ Oscar as much as I love to feed you , you know that I cant travel with you, I have a job remember? Plus Im not a professional chef , you dummy! I just cook as a passion” You muttered softly trying to get your point across.

“Then quit! I know you hate your job y/n. This is your chance! I made sure that they’ll pay you handsomely ~ more than your current pay . I swear! PLUS you get to travel with me and you get to explore food all over the world” The boy did made a whole lot of sense…

“Fine , let me see the contract” Then an enormous grin plasters itself on his face.

***

* Brownies

“Holy Crap , Mate! These brownies are killer! Where did you get these?” Logan exclaimed as he continued to stuff his face with Oscar’s snacks prepared by Y/N of course.

“My chef made them for ME , Logan. Hands off “ Oscar swatted the American’s hand as he tried to get another piece.

“What are you two idiots up-to now? “ Alex spoke as he came near the duo, Lando right on his tail.

“Oscar brought these amazing brownies and He wont share! Come on mate, just one more” Logan once again tried to reach for the bag only to be denied once again.

“Ohhh, let me try some of that!” Alex laid out his hand , and Logan complaining in the background saying “unfair “ as Oscar gave Alex one.

“You weren’t kidding! these are good. Lando try one” Alex gestured towards Lando.

Lando looking a bit apprehensive, took the offered treat and took a bite. As the Brit chewed , he couldn’t stop eating till there was no more. Screw belgian chocolate, that brownie was his favorite food now.

“Oscar, give me another.” Lando requested to his now younger teammate.

“Nope~ these are mine” Oscar grinned teasingly as he stood up , away from the reach of his fellow drivers

“Oscarrrr , give em up you muppet!” Lando whined and pouted .

“No! Ask your chef to make you one. “ Oscar implored.

“But the ones they make aren’t as good as thoseee” Lando continued to whine

“I know, this is Y/N’s special recipe. “ Oscar replied mockingly, a playful grin on his face as we waved them goodbye.

“Damn, Y/N made those? No wonder they tasted amazing” Logan muttered catching the attention of Lando.

“Y/N? Who?” Lando asked now curious .

“Oh, Y/N is our friend. Well now Oscar’s personal chef too. We met when Oscar and I were racing in F2. She used to bring us her cooking after the race.”

“Damn, did she put cocaine on those brownies or something?” Alex said wanting another bite.

“Did you say that she’s Oscar’s chef? That would mean that she’s in Mclaren right now?” Lando asked yet again to the now bemused American.

“Yes?” And with that Lando Norris is on a mission. Find the lady who makes extremely delicious brownies.

“Y/N” Lando muttered your name under his breath as he traversed towards his own motorhome with a purpose.

Finally reaching his destination only to be bombarded by his Pr manager pulling him along towards his media duties

Lando’s brownie mission was a fail

“Hey, do you know who’s Y/N?”

* Wok fried noodles

“ Ok so , Oscar will be done in a few minutes then it will be your turn” Lando’s manager , Valerie, explained as He was getting ready for the interview set up by Mclaren for a special edition for a motorsport magazine of some sorts.

“You should take a bite of your lunch , Lan. I don’t think you’ll be getting time to do so later” valerie explained, as she nudged the now cold , barely touched container of food towards the British driver.

“But there fish in it ,Val” The brit frowned as he glanced on his supposed to be lunch. How many times did he have to say NO FISH.

“It’s not even touching th-“ valerie tried to explain but was cut of by Lando as he exclaimed

“But it’s near a fish!” To which Valerie could only sigh and nod.

Then a knock and an opening of a door happened along with Oscar popping his head in — who appears to be carrying chopsticks and a container of sorts.

“ Hey, mate! They said it’ll be your turn in 15 mins or so” Oscar said as he scoops his lunch into his mouth.

“What ya eating there bud?” Lando couldn’t help ask as the savory aroma filled his room and a rumble came to his stomach.

“Some low carb noodle dish Y/N made , not really sure what’s it called . Tasted great tho.” The Australian said .

“Lemme have a bite” Lando waved his hands towards Oscar . With a shrug , oscar did.

As He took a bite , Lando could only think of one thing.

“Where could I get myself a Y/N”

* Spring Rolls

Practice 1 had just finished and the drivers have an hour or 2 to rest and kill time . And for our youngest Aussie driver on the grid it is time to annoy his lovely friend Y/N.

“ Hey, Y/N… could you please make extra servings of what ever you’re making for my lunch?” Oscar asked sheepishly

“Osc, No! You have to follow a strict calorie count and your trainer will kill me!” You said as you stoped what you were doing .

“It’s not for me, Its for Lando! He always eats my food “ Oscar explains and you understood clearly. Nodding with a smile , you shooed Oscar away.

“Thanks , Angel! “ Oscar left but not before leaving a kiss on your head.

You then set out to make lunch for 2 drivers, and finishing by packing them separately . You never forgot to leave a message on Oscar’s meals as encouragements to your closest friend

Your eyes go towards the food intended for Lando. You were contemplating whether you should write something or not. Biting your lip you took another piece of post it and started writing.

Maybe this is your chance to get the driver’s attention and shoot your shot. You have been crushing on the British driver for who knows how long. Tutting yourself you shake your head from your thoughts and delusions.

In the post it wrote ,

Dear, Lando

A little birdie told me that you liked my cooking , ey? Oh! I heard that you liked spring rolls so I made you a few. No fish , I promise. Hope you enjoy! And good luck on the race! I’ll be cheering on the sidelines 🧡

P.S. thank Osc , he begged me to tag you along :P

— Y/N

***

Butterflies filled Lando’s stomach as he opened the lunch box you made for him. You cooking for him and writing a note felt so domestic , like a wife and husband.Lando became a giggly mess as he re-read your note again and again.

He remembered the time when he first saw you. You were with Oscar in the Mclaren motorhome , sitting on the lounge when your eyes met his and you gave Lando a smile — it was only passing but to Lando it was enough. To him you were so angelic .He imagined coming home to you and you would cook for him and all seemed fine in the world.

“ you know , you should just ask her out on a date” and suddenly Lando was startled out of his daydreaming

“Huh , what? Dreaming? Who was? “ Lando tried to act cool in front of Oscar who was now sniggering as he leaned on the doorframe.

“ I know that you like Y/N, Lando! Just ask the girl already “

“Who’s Y/N?” Oscar rolled his eyes at his teammate

“You’re both idiots .y’know? You both have goggly eyes for each other — it honestly hurts to see. Here’s her number . Please just go out. Or I swear I’ll lock the two of you in a room or something. “ Lando was flabbergasted by his teammate who was now exiting the room.

“Uhh… Thanks Osc!” The Brit broke out into a huge smile as he shouted towards the australian

“Yeah yeah , just don’t hurt her or I promise to crash into you in every race”

What fans say:

Kung Fu Panda:

Honestly iconic. The progression of story, the message, the acting.

The way this movie balances tone is nothing less than astonishing to me. It's funny and lighthearted but also intense and dramatic and neither ever take away from the other. Every joke and emotional beat lands excellently. Not to mention. The fight scenes SLAP. And so does the score!!

It's just GOOD. I love how all of them were insanely genuine. Po genuinely wanted to be a Kung Fu master. The Furious Five genuinely wanted to be the very best like no one ever was. And Tai Lung genuinely wanted to kick the shit out of anyone that even looked at that dragon scroll. But seriously one of the best movies.

Treasure Planet:

The setting and focal relationship!

WHALES IN SPACE. Second best treasure island adaptation (#1 is muppets). The song The Song!!

Where do I begin with this movie? It blends CG and hand drawn animation beautifully. All of the backgrounds are gorgeous. There are so many cool alien designs. The score is absolutely perfect. The amount of detail put into the design and worldbuilding shines through. All of the characters are so much fun to watch, especially Long John Silver and Captain Amelia. This movie takes at least partial responsibility for my love of space/sky pirates. Also it was actively sabotaged by Disney so I need to vouch for it at every chance.

Space pirates in a classic novel. It's gorgeously animated with a blend of 2d and 3d. Also, LONG JOHN SILVER HAS A 3D HAND thats hecking impressive for a main character to be a blend of the two in 2002. Did I mention the twink protagonist and malewife for the rich halfwit son? The aliens are beautifully unique, and a mantis guy floats off into space. from a pirate ship. because they aren't just space pirates, they're aliens and cyborgs on pirate ships going through space. Which fucking rocks.

It's a genuinely creative adaptation of Treasure Island that has so much heart and incredible animation. It helped pioneer 3D animationa nd it was the first feature animated film to utilize both 2 and 3 D animation

The animation is so good, and the way that the antogonist isn't black and white, he genuinely cares for the protagonist <3

Pirate ships in space!

Watched this on loop as a kid, gave me solace for not growing up with a dad

It fucks

The ☆A n i m a t i o n☆!! And captain Amelia

It's so fun looking, cool character design. It's funny, it's emotional. I love it so very much please aaaaaaa

How this movie looks is absolutely amazing. A space-steampunk pirate story with fantastic visuals and (mostly) great characters. The vibes this movie has are off the charts. Jim is the bad-boy-good-heart kid, the doctor is a silly-goofy-but-oddly-competent support and Silver is a complex father-figure-who's-made-mistakes. Also MORT the cute little jelly that won me over in 0.5 seconds flat. I am also a slut for a good soundtrack and this one SLAPS. I will stand by my opinion that the Russian version of the song I'm Still Here did a better job of fitting the montage and the mood. That's a hill I will die on.

[petite-madame]

I just found again your account. I first saw your art when I was a teenager. And its been a while. Your art has felt like coming back to a brewed coffee and some pastries. Winter wind blowing against the coffee shop windows.

It feels like coming back home to fandoms i used to adore. And look at it fondly, in a nostalgic lense. You've worked very hard and honed your skill. I'm proud of how long you've been drawing and how you provided such joy and excitement in so many people. Heck even just sparked a glint in their eye whilst being on the internet.

Tu est merveilleuse. Tu as tellement contribué pour les fandoms. Merci énormément ♡

Hi anon ^^

First, I apologize it took me so long to answer. Messages kept piling up and it took me time to reach yours. 😳

This is one of the kindest messages I ever received. Not that other messages are not kind or sincere, or that I don't enjoy receiving or reading them but...you see what I mean ? 😳 Comparing my art and the feeling it brings you to "coming back to a brewed coffee and some pastries. Winter wind blowing against the coffee shop windows." is so...so poetic ? And strong ? And it talks to me, you see ? The nostalgia, the feels. 😭

It's really funny because I received a message from another anon who told me they hadn't "seen (my) art for years but it randomly came across (their) dash and (they) recognized the style right away" and I compared the experience to finding out that an old restaurant you used to go to as a kid was still open. That's me, I'm the restaurant, this little coffee shop that still tries to bring you good pastries. 🥳Sometimes, the menu changes a bit but it's still the same recipe and the same owner, who starts to get a bit old, but who is still enthusiastic about the new cakes available in his tiny shop.

I'm proud of how long you've been drawing and how you provided such joy and excitement in so many people.

I've always drawn, I think I will carry on as much as I can. And even if I draw for me (almost like a compulsion, a need), it's messages like yours that makes me carry on sharing my art on the internet because even if I have a "successful coffee shop", sometimes, I can't help thinking about some drawings I do "Nah, nobody's going to care about this one". 🤓 I forget about it but then, sometimes a few weeks later, I post the art and I receive messages from people telling me I made their day, that they were having a bad time but that my art cheered them up. It's incredible, right ? Someone is having a bad day in Milwaukee or Jakarta and me, and my stupid little "bakeries" helped them smile (*) for a couple of minutes. I think it's fantastic. So even if as an artist I love to share what I do, sometimes when I think that "nobody cares", I think about some random people and the possible positive outcome that my art can produce.

(*) Sometimes, I make people cry too because of death art and pretty angsty illustrations but that's another story. You're welcome, by the way 🤓

Of course, my artworks are not masterpieces, I'm not starting a pictural revolution, it's just TV show and movie characters doing "random stuff" but if these artworks that will be forgotten in 10 minutes will make someone smile just a couple of seconds at some point in time then, it was worth it. I guess. I hope so. (And sometimes, it's more than a couple of seconds because some people put my art as their desktop wallpaper or phone background. How awesome is that ? 🤩🥳)

Anyway, I'm rambling. 🙃🙃🙃 Thank you so much for this amazing message and for enjoying my art all these years. (Because I write, I write but I didn't even thank you!!)

I wish you a great weekend and I hope that you'll stop by my coffee shop again. 💗

after watching all of The Edge of Sleep (and then playing it on loop in the background three times for the heck of it) here are my thoughts! SPOILERS BELOW!!!

I LOVED Linda! she was my favorite character in the show, of course gotta love good ol Dave and Matteo, but Linda was a badass. she was smart, thought things through, and yeah maybe was "cold" but when everyone is dying in their sleep and there's no help coming, she did what she thought was best. big respect.

the effects were really cool! loved the intro scene with the whale talking to Dave, that was so neat. The way the show was filmed too (the flashbacks, memories coming in and out, lighting, music) was all well done to create the effect they were wanting, I think. all of the flashback made stuff confusing at some points but it makes sense to the overall theme of the show, where they're all confused and inebriated on the lack of sleep. the out of focus shots, odd colors, placement of scenes, and often nightmare like scenes with the elephant. all of this made the show feel like a fever dream, which I think is cool!

as for the plotline, I really like it. I want to look into the original podcast because the cliffhanger is KILLING ME. I want to see more about the world, where was the government? what's the "cure"? how is Dave's nightmares going to win against the monster? I need more LORE. (if this is all answered in the podcast, then I'm very excited to tune in)

finally, Dave/Mark. Amazing job Mark!!! I'm so amazed by your acting and was thrilled to see this project after years of waiting. Dave was an amazing character and was pretty funny, especially in the first episode with Matteo. he also had a lot of depth shown throughout the show's flashback/characterization. I also want to learn more about him too!

Mark, and everyone else involved, y'all did a great job! I really hope that this opens the door for Mark and his many future endeavors, and I'm so excited to watch all of them!

if you haven't watched The Edge of Sleep yet, I highly recommend it! it's a short and sweet watch that'll keep you on your toes with its suspense and horror themes. the show does have a few triggers, such as body horror, gore, blood, self harm, addiction, and more just so you know! besides helping Mark get the show into the top ten, also have fun watching! :)

[the-ghost-wizard]

These past almost two years being a part of this Fandom have been amazing. I got to see new art, different aus, how people portray the gang with their headcanons, and grow in ways I didn't think were possible. Heck buying the Arthur Plush was something I never thought I would've done. Yet, he's right beside me as I type this.

I guess my only regret is that I didn't try to check out this series sooner and get to enjoy it even longer. It's funny cause I would always see posts about it all the time since I was 14 and yet I didn't bother to watch it till two years ago. Not gonna lie, it feels like I just got here and now the ending will be here pretty soon. Now though, I think I'll be ready to see it. This won't be the end though for this blog. I'll keep posting, keep making content, I have plans to make a funny meme animation too.

This anniversary piece was hard to make at first, but then I realized that I should draw what I want to see at the end..and what do I want to see?

I wanna see them reunited and have the happy ending they deserve

Happy 10th anniversary Mystery Skulls Animated! Thank to everyone, especially to the crew and Ben, who made it all possible. I hope that you all have an amazing year and I look forward to your future projects.

Also I had this playing in the background while I drew for inspiration, my eyes are now waterfalls.

That’s it. Here are my personal Top 10 favorite TBOSAS fanfics to read on the weekends.

PS: Most of them were published even before the trailer for the upcoming movie premiered.

So here are my recommendations:

1. The Plinth Prize by Redex

This oneshot is a certified classic angsty Snowjanus/SnowPlinth fic. And honestly, this is why I support my fellow SnowPlinth shippers, cuz this story could definitely replace the last 3 chapters of TBOSAS and I wouldn’t even question it.

2. Nothing to lose by HopelessRomantikk

This oneshot is another Snowjanus/SnowPlinth fic. However, this one is quite romantically sweet as cinnamon with lots of kisses. Just play the song Say Yes to Heaven by Lana Del Rey in the background and you’re good to go.😘

3. Reflections of the Garden by madzdolin

This one is an angsty SnowBaird fic that actually gives you one of the best bittersweet endings ever. It also gave the readers a proper closure to Coryo’s relationship with both Lucy Gray and Sejanus. You might even cry a little when you read the last chapter. Just saying~.😚

4. Saving Each Other by flipflop_diva

This oneshot is one of those unique SnowBaird fics that gives the readers a good “What if” scenario to seriously think about, cuz in this AU, Coryo doesn’t escape the Arena with Sejanus. So he’s basically stuck with Lucy Gray as another “tribute,” until they both won by waiting and poisoning everybody else. And yes, Reaper was not amused.

5. You Complete Me by gaytriforce

This oneshot is another classic Snowjanus/SnowPlinth confession fic. Moreover, I really loved the simple way of how they got together. And to be honest, this short fic could replace the whole Peacekeeper arc and I wouldn’t even notice the change.

6. Pursuit Predation by evaerobics

This oneshot is that rare Snowjanus/SnowPlinth AU fic that deserves another 50 chapters. It basically gives the readers a “What if” scenario where Coryo was chosen to Mentor District two’s male Tribute, Sejanus Plinth. And yes, Sejanus kissed Coryo in front of his classmates before entering the Capitol Arena.

7. The last two loves of his life by boneslen

This one is a good bittersweet angsty SnowBaird/SnowPlinth fic. Basically, Lucy Gray was forced to become an Avox by Dr. Gaul. Sejanus is still dead. And Coryo is busy having a mental breakdown every second of the day. The newly elected President of Panem just really wants both his girlfriend and boyfriend back, ok. The Bi-panic is real with this one.

8. Roses and Nutmeg by PliaPlia

This Snowjanus/SnowPlinth oneshot features a very stressed out malnourished AF Coryo, who became quite ill because he keeps giving away his food to a very busy Tigris. Seriously, somebody give the poor cabbage boy some soup. Sejanus, call your Ma and feed your future boyfriend.

9. Feverish Dreams by Cordeliadumaurier

Let’s just agree that this long ass SnowBaird fic has the craziest story of the season. I mean, the revenge plot alone is amazing, and every single character is insane in their own way, even Lucy Gray. Moreover, everyone is just borderline obsessed with Coryo’s dead dad, Crassus Snow. Even dead Dean Casca Highbottom was freaking in love with Snow’s dead dad! So yeah, they’re all obsessed, depressed, and crazy. Everyone needs therapy, but Snow still lands on top. #Crasca4ever

10. The Sound of Snow Falling by PRES_CS_HGT

This HG/TBOSAS fic is one of my personal favorites. The plot alone is great and unique in its own way, because it features a very young and confused 5’4 and a half Coryo Snow waking up after the end of the Second Rebellion. Also, the new President, Alma Coin wants to place him inside the Arena as a Tribute for the crimes he doesn’t even remember committing. And his assigned Mentor, Katniss Everdeen hates him for some reason. And what the heck happened to Tigris?! Why is she so old?! And why does she look like a literal tiger?! Who knows, Coryo Snow.

Special Mention:

1. I’m so sorry, Coryo by HopelessRomantikk

Basically, this features Sejanus Plinth’s angsty POV in TBOSAS, and how he was secretly in love with Coryo Snow since forever. However, he still meets the same fate here.

2. The needle in the brain by Sweetlit

This TBOSAS AU fic is already wild and spicy like some Lana Del Rey album. The plot alone is great and full of mysteries. Moreover, this story’s “What if” scenario features a very desperate and depressed Coryo Snow seducing a heartbroken Dean Casca Highbottom to let him stay in the Capitol after winning the Hunger Games. And let’s just agree that if ever Crassus Snow reads this fic, he might as well burn Panem to the ground.

3. The Hanging Tree by SirFanfic

This oneshot features a regretful Coryo Snow, who decided to have a last minute change of heart and saved Sejanus from being hanged.

As we sit upon a rock spinning at 1000km/hr, and hurtling through the cold, empty universe at 100,000km/hr, illuminated only by a giant ball of gas and nuclear fusion 150,000,000km away from us that keeps us gravitationally locked in its orbit... I bring you six space fics! Cause space is cool as heck! Even if it's a little terrifying!

Take a look through, and if any catch your fancy then drop a kudos or a comment or a reblog -- your friendly neighbourhood fic writer appreciates it!

The Stars Look Very Different Today by kingsofeverything (43032, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

For Harry Styles, child genius turned glorified spaceship mechanic, rescuing lost or broken down ships is a fairly common occurrence. There’s nothing common about his latest mission, the ship, or that ship’s captain. The last thing he expects to find in a distant galaxy is the one thing he’s been missing on Earth.

Reccer says: I think the future world-building is incredible!

ghost of you by beckywritesthings (109111, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence

a Star Wars AU where Harry is Obi-Wan, Louis is Satine, and somehow there’s a love story between the cracks where there shouldn’t be

Reccer says: An incredibly written, epic royal space fic! Even if you've never seen Star Wars, you'll fall in love with these characters. And if you have seen Star Wars, you'll be amazed by how this writer plotted this story!

foothold by turnyourankle (18358, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Louis has crossed the galaxy with a ship full of crystals; they’re the only thing he has to offer in exchange for safe harbor. He thought getting to his destination would be the hardest part, hoping that once he got his family to safety everything would fall back into place; Louis struggles to adapt while his sisters thrive.

Reccer says: Such atmospheric, visual writing that was used to create such an interesting world! The characters are so complex and have inner demons that eventually reveal themselves.

Don't bring the Starbucks by LadyLondonderry (4814, Teen, Niall Horan/Rory McIlroy) – fic post Warnings: Minor character death (but as the author says, it's no one you like)

The one where Niall is a perfectly normal university student, until he finds himself an ocean away in the middle of Ohio with a strange man telling him to stop wandering off. Then he’s in space. It’s a whole thing.

Reccer says: Emmu's fics are always their own special brand of charming and this fic is no exception. It's so delightful and odd and it makes me so happy.

in other words by sarcangel (3758, General, Niall Horan/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: mentions of past injuries leading to prosthetics

Niall works on a space cruise line, dancing with passengers, but the person he most wants to dance with is the captain.

Reccer says: A really fascinating worldbuilding (is it still called worldbuilding if it's in space? XD) I feel like we know so much about the background of these characters and this universe, even in only a few thousand words.

Breaking Through the Atmosphere by dinosaursmate (40416, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Louis is recruiting folks to colonize a new planet; Harry is the sweet, homesick painter/veterinarian he recruits.

Reccer says: Brilliant descriptions of what their life is like on another planet! And such a gentle, slow burn into realizing that you’ve fallen in love.

The Promised Neverland season 1 rewatch: Addictions

I'm going to do this before analysing the second half of season one. Because this is important.

Ray's role as the Traitor a.k.a Mother & Son or Caretaker & Cattle:

First let's go back to Krone's death a little bit.

⬆️⬆️ This is the scene your honour! ⬆️⬆️

This is the scene which can still fuck me up emotionally. This and Norman's adoption.

Isabella telling Ray that;

“I got rid of her”

And Ray immediately knowing what that means. His wide eyed stare as he realise that by writing that note, he got Krone killed and their plans revealed 🥺.

Ray is silently panicking and that's why he runs into the Sister's room instead of signalling to Gilda and Don. Then Isabella locks the door, which was actually a genius move on her part. Getting Ray trapped in a windowless room was... chef's kiss.

But I can't help but think about the internal struggle both Ray and Isabella gone through during this 'betrayal' (Somehow I always end up here, aren't I? Yapping about their complicated relationship. Sorry can't help it😅😭).

In my opinion, the Ray's spying was a way they both could cope with their situation in the House. Mother and Son or Caretaker and Cattle ⬅️ This is their struggle or their curse. Are they allowed to get a genuine and caring relationship? Of course not. Do they settle with anything close to that? Heck yes! Like here for example...

The delivery of Ray's last present, the camera holds such a meaningful place in my mind. The whole scene having this night time, bittersweet and sonder tone to it.

Orange and purplish blue being complementary to each other but also representing both Ray and Isabella. Isabella is in front of a dark background while the light of the lamp brightening up the wall behind Ray. It shows what roles they started playing. Villain and survivor/saviour. (because Ray did everything just so he can save Emma and Norman. Talk about a self sacrificing idiot, am I right?)

I also appreciate how they both forgot about wearing their emotional masks for a second when they were in Mom's office. Ray genuinely smiles at the first time and for one expresses his personal interests and Isabella looks away guilty. Knowing that she has to betray this fragile little thrust Ray has in her in order to encourage him and Emma to actually escape. (Because let's be honest... If Ray thought that his mother cared about him even a tiny bit he wouldn't want to leave her behind).

And Ray actually looks at her! He is deep down so desperately hopeful, but all he sees is Isabella turning away/distancing herself so of course he stops smiling and puts back his mask of indifference.

Emma's and Norman's Plan set into motion:

Haha anime! Ha ha Shirai and Demizu! Well played, very well played! Cause only a rewatcher can notice what is really going on in this scene.

This is right after Mom broke Emma's leg and as they go back to the House you can see the other kids reaction. Phil wide eyed stare and his worried expression shows how much he admires and looks up to his big sis, Emma. He is concerned of what happened to her. The olders on the other hand...

...They are frigtened, absolutely frightened, terrified even. Why? Because Emma and Norman already set their plan into motion. Because Nat, Anna, Lanni and Thoma already got brought to eaves drop to the conversation with Krone. They already know who Mom really is and what Emma's 'accident' actually represents.

Shout out for them! They are also amazing actors as they quickly recovered from the shock and put on an act so Isabella wouldn't know that they are also involved in the escape.

Okay that's all for now. I hope you are all doing fine and that I don't bore you with these lengthy posts. Byee, see you later 🥰

Date: Today, 

Dear Hybbart,

Hi! I'm just a little anon writing to say thank you so much for your amazing Ranchers Apocalypse AU. I've binged it several times and I plan on doing it again and again. It's given me so much hope for life. I have never experienced anything like it before. Your art is incredible and I could stare at it all day. 

I don't comment on things often, I'm usually one of the silent spectators but I really felt like I needed to give you a thank you.

 I have hated and avoided apocalypse stories because they always felt so hopeless and scary to me but yours is the first I've seen that's not hopeless. Thank you so much for the new perspective of an apocalypse story. Now I love them. If an actual apocalypse happened I hope I am one of the ones, like the Ranchers, that don't give up and keep pressing on even in the hard and seemingly dark times. Not only to just survive but to thrive. To keep holding on to hope for a better tomorrow. Rain or shine, bring it on. It's almost like the Ranchers are giving life a middle finger lol. Like, Gosh dang it life, you want us dead, oh heck no we will live and not only will we live but to really add insult to injury we are choosing to thrive.

I love how the story is almost like Polaroid photos with little notes at the bottom of each; it feels a bit like a scrapbook documenting important moments in the story which is cool. It's so unique and it's nothing like I've ever seen before. It's incredible.

My goodness, the way that you draw characters so expressive and dynamic with their poses and the amount of details in the background. It's absolutely captivating. I love studying and admiring each picture.

Your art and stories are inspiring and healing. I fully believe that people's worlds will be flipped on their heads for the better when they experience the stories and art that you create. You flipped my world. Please don't stop creating. The world needs what you have to give. 

Once more thank you for the incredible story, I can't imagine how much time you spent on it. The love you have for the AU really shines through your work. You are an inspiration. 

I look forward to what comes next in the RAAU, rain or shine, bring it on.

Sincerely,

- Anonymous Fan <3 <3 <3

P.S Also a song rec that I think is really neat and hope you think is neat too: 

Owl City's Bird with a Broken Wing.

It makes me think of Jimmy after the apocalypse started but before Tango found him. 

P.P.S if you are reading this, thanks so much for reading this long letter. Lol.

Thank you very much! I think you might enjoy two series, called yokohama shopping log and Zom 100: bucketlist of the dead. Yokohama shopping log is a very lovely slice of life healing series about the twilight of the world and the people who've accepted it and decided to live the best they can, including robots. Zom 100 is about a man so beaten down by modern work culture the apocalypse sets him free and gives him and everyone around him the opportunity to be human and enjoy life again. They're both series about human compassion and small joys in the end times, and big influences on raau.

And that reminds me! I've been work on raau for over a full year now! It's crazy to me, I hope to work on it again soon.

I saw the Emily 8 hearts event recently and it gave me the idea of this fanfic.

This is pure fluff with some anxiety (maybe angst ?)

I didn't write fanfic for YEARS and I never wrote in english, it's not my first language. I'm sorry if there're some mistakes . I tried to keep it genderless so everyone can enjoy it !

Emily convince you to show the world your talents because she feels that there's a part of you that need to be revealed. But what if this was a bad idea ?

Name : To get out from the shell

Farmer x Harvey

Fluff, Anxiety, Angst.

2.1k words.

Your thoughts just before being on stage were like, "Why the heck did I accept this?"

Your entire body is shaking for so many reasons: you've never ever talked about your interest in singing, you've never sung in front of anyone else besides your pets, and you've never been on stage before. And that's a lot. You silently pray just to be able to not have a panic attack.

The background noise slowly disappears, and you hear Emily come to the stage to announce you.

"My dear friends, let's continue the show! I'm really excited to see what's next, and I think we'll be surprised. Let's dive into something... lighter."

You hear people starting to applaud, a sign that it's your time. Okay, breathe. Everything will be fine.

The red curtain opens, and you are a little confused by the beam of light right in your face. You blink to try to focus, but you can barely see people in front of you. Not a bad thing, actually. You see a silhouette move to the piano, which is on your left. You finally recognize Elliott in a beautiful white suit, his hair gently tied on one side of his head. His show was to illustrate his skills on the piano, and he is really good. When you asked him a few days ago if he would like to accompany you for your show, he was almost more enthusiastic than you. He really loves art in its entirety.

He plays a few notes to gather all the attention from people and looks at you. You take a deep breath and make a sign to Elliott that, yes, it's time to start. You close your eyes, waiting for the first notes.

A lovely melody echoes, making everyone look at the scene. Finally, you start to share your voice with people. Deep inside, you've always wanted that, but you're not as confident as you wish, so you've kept that side of you hidden for many years. So hidden that, in the Saloon, kind of an effervescence is rising with one question in all minds: Who are you?

Everyone starts to discuss who they're watching except one of them, too marvelled to even talk. Harvey is completely amazed by this view. Everything is so clear, so pure: the melody, this voice of kindness, the moves are smooth and elegant; he - and all the people actually - never heard something like this before.

Suddenly, he was distracted by Haley and Alex who were next to him.

"Just look carefully at the room. Two people are missing. First is Elliott, and he is the pianist. So, and I can tell you that the second is our farmer!"

Time almost stops when Harvey understood that yes, this beautiful creature with this angelic voice in front of him is you, his dearest farmer. With wide-eyes and an open mouth, his glass of whiskey nearly drops from his hand.

Apparently, he is not the only one to not recognize you at first. A bunch of emotions make him blush, and he feels a pleasant heat in his chest, almost shivering. Every note and move suit you so well like... You've done this all your life?

But why did you never tell him that you like to sing? Harvey knows that he is quickly overwhelmed when he loses his capacities to think clearly, and he felt his anxiety rise slowly. He learned to know you so well since you moved in Pelican Town. Seeing how well you treat him with coffee and homemade pickles lets him think that maybe he can allow himself to feel, when he shares some moments with you. But now, he is just worried that you're not really yourself with him.

Maybe you didn't want to show this to him? Maybe only the closest people know this? No, this is the voice of his anxiety, and he must not believe it. This is only because you're surely ashamed of that part of you. You're just too shy or you don't believe in yourself enough. But... Really, there's nothing to hide.

The song ended smoothly, the final notes like faraway echoes. You were pretty proud of yourself because you didn't think you've messed up. However, it's a full silence that you were facing. You never thought that silence, which you usually love, can be so icy.

Lights are back in the Saloon, and someone turns off the spotlight that blinds you. You hesitate to open your eyes because you don't understand why there is no sound, no reaction. Nothing but your heart, close to exploding.

Why? Are they disappointed? You don't want this, you don't want to open your eyes already wet from tears. This was surely the worst idea ever, and you just want to run away. You never want to see them all again. Your trust in people was as fragile as your confidence, and you tell yourself that you'll never ever trust someone. There's a storm in your mind right now, and you really don't know how to escape.

But then, a sound. A clap. And then another. And another. You immediately look up at where the claps come from, and you see something that will be stuck in your head and your heart for ages.

You see the doctor standing alone, applauding you, with a warm smile on his face. It was like a warm sunlight on the skin on a freezing day.

In no words, you saw everyone in the Saloon stand up and applaud you. Sam even whistles, which makes you laugh. You were so moved that you only tilt your head to thank everyone, and you look at Elliott who was amazing and thank him too.

You were the last on the show. It's 12 am now, and you're exhausted by the emotional roller coaster of tonight. You took some time to change your clothes and wear your typical farmer outfit. This is more comfortable, more you. When you came back in the room, only Emily's left. When she heard you, she stops to clean up and ran into you.

"You were absolutely stunning tonight!"

"Thank you, Emily. I thought that my heart stopped, I was terrified."

"Everyone was so amazed that we even didn't understand when your performance ended."

Emily came closer to you and took your hand in hers. She looked at you with sparkling eyes.

"Really, you were beautiful. And, you needed to do it. Right?"

"Emily, I really wanted to -"

"Emily, do you need help to clean? Oh. Am I interrupting something?"

Clint had entered the Saloon and was staring at Emily's hands.

You looked at Clint, then Emily, then Clint, without understanding what he meant. You didn't have any time to answer before Clint left the room.

"Okay, I'll leave now. Congrats. Come Harvey, we're too much here."

You felt something break in your chest when you saw Harvey in front of the door, with all the world's sorrow on his face. Clint put his hand on his shoulder while walking away. Harvey looks at you a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something but turned around and followed Clint's path.

This was in a few seconds, and you didn't have time to process what happened. You let go of Emily's hand without a word, without doing anything.

"What... Just happened?"

"Well... I only have a question for you. What does Harvey mean to you?"

You looked at Emily who was looking at the door, realizing that all of this was a big misunderstanding.

"I- ... I love him. More than many things in this world."

"You need to go then. Go catch him. Hurry up!"

"But I -"

"Don't worry about the Saloon or Clint, I'll do this myself later."

"Thank you, Emily. For this and for tonight."

Emily smiled at you as you started to run to find Harvey. The clinic was not that far, so you were at his door in no time. Your heart was drumming against your chest again, and you prayed to Yoba that Harvey will listen to you. You knocked at the door. Once. Twice. You heard something around you but still no answer.

"Harvey, can you open the door? I know you're there."

This freezing silence. Again. And the door didn't open.

"I'm- I think that you're wrong about what you saw at the Saloon with Emily. I just want to explain... Please... Can you at least listen? Even if you don't want to see me?"

"And what do you need to explain? That was clear to me."

You turned around and saw Harvey standing behind you, in the middle of the night. You could only see half of his face with the smooth light of the town. You know that he's only a few miles away, but his voice, strict and distant, made a tight knot inside you. You started to come closer to him; you need to feel his warmth.

"No, really, I don't think you understand... I -"

"Why you never tell me that you like to sing? Does Emily know it?"

"Emily? No, she didn't know until tonight, and well, I'm... I think that I was not in confidence enough to-"

"Oh, so you don't trust me?"

You stopped a few steps from him as your vision became blurry with tears. How this day turned into a nightmare. It was meant to be amazing, and in the end, your world is about to crack. You try to hide your emotions, but your voice betrayed you.

"What? Why? Why do you think that? What did I do?"

"I don't know, think about it yourself. You're surely smart enough to find."

You're almost shocked by the Harvey you have in front of you. He is so cold, so different than the sweet and pleasant doctor. He often says that he's not really the same when he's angry or worried. He confesses that his anxiety is a real monster for him because he knows that he can hurt people around him in his bad times. And that's why he didn't want to be emotionally involved anymore. You didn't believe him because "Harvey, it's impossible for you to hurt people. You're a doctor, remember?" you said. But now that he's right in front of you, his shadow talking for him, you understand that he was right. And that he only needs to be heartened.

"I'm smart enough to say that I finally understand when you said that you're not the same when your monster comes. And I'm here for you if you want to talk about it."

Harvey did not answer right away; it seems that you guessed right.

"You were gorgeous tonight. But also, you were so... Different. I was amazed by you at first sight but also... So scared by you. I thought that I knew you well but I guess I was wrong"

"You think that I'm not real when I'm with you? Because I've never told you."

"I didn't even recognize you. It's only when I heard Alex say that it's you that I realized. I was overwhelmed. I had so many emotions in my head, and I-"

"I was ashamed. Because I'm not confident enough to face this world. I was almost broken at the end when I didn't hear any sound. I promised myself to never be on stage again. And then, you were here, Harvey. You were the first to get up and applaud. I don't know if I can ask you why, but you really were my guiding light at this moment."

Harvey didn't move when you came closer to him while you were talking. He looked down at you as you took his hands in yours. He's cold, and his body is shaking. You look at him with a gentle smile and a few tears on your cheeks.

"Thank you, Harvey."

You saw Harvey's expression become lighter, as if his anxiety monster has disappeared. He looked at you a few seconds before to drop your hand and hug you with all his body glued to yours. He put an arm around your shoulders and the other around your head. As he's taller than you, your head was on his chest and his, on your neck.

"Tell me. Please, tell me that I'm not too much involved again."

"We, are. But I promised you that this time nobody will be hurt."

Harvey hugs you a little harder before releasing his embrace and taking your head in his hands and raising it up to look at you. You finally find his beautiful and calm eyes again. Those eyes that make you melt when you dive in.

"Will you listen to me if I sing how much I love you?"

"I will be listening forever."

Harvey almost whispers as his lips are getting closer to yours. He gives you a soft but intense kiss that makes your heart explode with joy and love.

Your taste in fics seems amazing. For the life of me I can't find any star trek fanfictions. Care to share some of your favorites? I would love to hear it :3

heck yeah! sure!

I always save the ones I really like right after I read them, but I can't seem to find the DaForge one I was talking about.

The descriptions I will put after the recs are how I described them to remind myself what they were about (I don't think they help though, because I can't remember them that well,,,) Either way, I'm sure the actual description of the fics are better than the ones I put !!

Data/Geordi:

Flowers- by astraa (hauntedpunk) General data is trying to understand his emotions, he grows flowers and he talks to spot

no emotion that's worth having- orcamermaid Teen and Up data is trying to understand his emotions and how love works. geordi is helping (REALLY CUTE)

every dream i have is sweeter- orcamermaid General, Community (TV) crossover TROY AND ABED GEORDI AND DATA AU???? WHAT! ITS SO CUTE SO GOOD HKJDSAHGDSKJGHDSKJ THEMMMMM

Expectation- justabrain General geordi and data's relationship seen by outsiders, very cute, wedding at the end

all the everything that ever was- squilf Teen and Up picard and Q are soulmates, riker was told not to tell anyone about it (he failed) data and la forge are soulmates too !!! in the background but its still there

Garak/Bashir:

pouring just a hint- susiecarter Teen and Up garak always drinks from bashir's cup before giving it to him, and bashir assumed it was just a quirk of his, but it is actually a cardassian sign of love and trust :)

The 50/50 Consensus- TheoMiller General julian notices that garak is lonlier and stuff is too bright for him so that all gets changed :)

Designs and Alterations- AuroraNova, ConceptaDecency Teen and Up garak has been giving julian coupons, it took a while for him to realize that no one else has been getting them

Balloon Buddies- almaasi General garak and bashir get turned into animals, very silly

The Cupid Computer- almaasi Teen and Up bashir is feeling lonely, so he took a quiz that takes up personal information to show you who your best match/soulmate is

Tell Me You Love Me (Or Tell Me a Lie)- almaasi Teen and Up garak gets a message that he's due to be sent home, (to die, literally or symolically) so he tells jullian his deepest secrets as tradition

Quark/Odo:

your accent mixing with mine- spacebubble Teen and Up the universal language translator is down, odo realizes that quark has his accent when pronouncing words. they kiss

More Forsaken Than Usual- NervousAsexual General instead of being stuck in the elevator with lwaxana troi, odo is stuck with quark

Breathe- Paratale General odo is upset, quark helps him learn how to cry

play it again- nepetrel Teen and Up ((this one is better without knowing the twist, but this involves time travel and kissing :) ))

Conflicts with Interest- katiemariie Teen and Up quark and odo bicker. they're in an established relationship, im putting this here because i really like the fluidity they gave to odo

put down your sword and crown- spacebubble Teen and Up quark is drunk so odo tries to figure out why

Spock/Kirk:

Ten Things I (Love) About You- ItinerantAvthor General this is based on a merther fic of the same premise. spock accidently finds a list that kirk made about him, but there is a space torn out of the top. "10 things i ___e about spock". spock thinks that the logical conclusion is that the word is 'hate'. he proceeds to try his best to not do any of the things listed :) this is the fic that got me into star trek, actually

The prominence of a simple word- Exploding_Space General kirk just keeps calling spock 'sweetheart'

Science Blues- museaway Teen and Up mccoy and spock body swap on accident. they don't tell kirk.

Textual Beginnings- iknewaman Teen and Up wrong number fic!!! Academy era!! kirk finds spock's number on the bathroom wall and decides to text it, its really cute

Of Coffee Beans and Green Tea Leaves- Se7en_devils Teen and Up spock goes to a cafe that kirk works at, kirk keeps flirting with him and using words of different dialects to do it because he learned that spock is a language professor. very adorable

Letters From Across the Universe- Starlighter_Varda General spock and kirk are pen pals from across the universe. temporary character death (sorta) cried over this, very good. there's a cat named leonard, love him

Something Smart to Do- kianspo Mature (i don't remember what's mature about it. i don't think it was anything bad, if it was, i wouldn't have saved it, or i would've made a note of it) all of the times kirk and spock are 'married' for a mission. very adorable

Miscommunication- sinestrated Teen and Up kirk gets his brain all goofed up, making him call people by whatever nickname he thinks of them by. he tries to avoid spock, knowing full well the word was going to be something sweet (it was)

Pirates, Spies, and Bedtime Stories- lallyloo General spock and kirk get into a transporter accident that turns them 5 years old. mccoy takes care of them

ok i think that's all of the ones I have written down!! (for now) i hope this helps!! :) they're all ship fics because i honestly find star trek kind of boring if you don't watch it for them,,,

What I find hilarious about those fans on reddit and Twitter is that they are now reminiscing Timothee with Lily. This is funny cause og fans know for a fact how much those fans despised lily and wanted them to break up throughout that whole entire relationship. Its revisionist history is disrespectful, considering Lily is in a lesbian relationship now.

Having been a fan since 2017 but is more passive in the fandom cause interests change, it's still puzzling why his fans are still going crazy about his dating life. He's close to 30, even Leo Dicaprio fans when he was at that age gave up the delusions and conspiracies about his life once they grew up. Male rappers, singers, athletes, and heck, even actors fanbases can accept the dating life of their favs, but in this fandom, everything is alleged pr. Callum Turner is with Dua Lipa, and no one thinks it's fake. Jacob elordi dating Olivia Jade and his fans accept it. Timothee fans think he's trapped in a dynamic, which is obvious that he's not forced to be in.

I will say this, though: I genuinely believe over these past yrs as his fame has increased, and Timothee comes across as very paranoid. He used to not be like this at all. He wouldn't be covering himself up to the brim, both masks and locations to avoid fans imo. Even when he was with Lily, they walked hand and hand. It wasn't a big circus. He dated an OF model for 5 months, and she spilt tea on titktok so he's not embarrassed to date women from an eccentric background. Kylie's been his longest relationship in the public, and he's not going to leave her so...

The Lily of it all is laughable because they said the exact same things about her and their rs. Too many of his fans are stuck in the CMBYN era, and took his amazing portrayal as some sort of autobiography so of course, it's either that he is really gay (and a lot still see his connection to that costar as "the reality") and all of his rs are now simply PR to hide his true self, which is ridic. He's dated the same sort of women since well before he was famous and would possibly need that sort of coverage lol

As for your comment that he seems paranoid- I disagree vehemently. His fame has grown exponentially since dating Lily and it only stands to reason that now that he is at such a high level of fame and demand, he has to sort of go to extremes to maintain any semblance of privacy and normalcy in his life. Being seen holding hands or kissing on a boat back then, couldn't compare to how insane the response and reaction would be to something like that now, and he knows it.
