review:

this was a really cute read. i read it for the most part while travelling and in an airport and it's definitely one of those cute perfect reads for that situation. reed darling is a good mmc. he's sweet and kind and it's clear that he's just head over for violet from the beginning. violet does suffer a little bit from the "i'm different from other girls" dilemma that is rampant nowadays but it's not to such a degree that you want to scoop out your insides rather than keep reading. i did find myself enjoying reed's POV a whole lot more though because of it.

there is also a really good collection of ensemble characters to this that i think add a lot to the story. reed's brothers, grayson and parker, stand out the most amongst them to me, and it's clear that they'll be the next in the series to get their books and romances, but even just as side characters in this one, i think they're such a fun addition. grayson kind of has that older brother (even though him and reed are twins) stereotypical role, while parker has the annoying little brother role, and getting to see them interact with violet as well just makes it such a fun read.

the writing is lacking a bit which is why it's rated on the lower end for me. i think that there comes a point when it's not "fluffy" enough, and i wish we had a bit more descriptiveness throughout. also the figure skating thing... i'm ngl it was more of a turn off than i thought it would be. but overall, it's a cute read and it keeps you hooked and having a fun time for sure.

my ratings:

characters - 4 ☆ - likeable, relatable, one dimensional

plot - 3.75 ☆ - cliched, fast-paced

setting - 4 ☆ - fits the story, realistic, rustic

writing style - 2.5 ☆ - easy to read, witty, simplistic, repetitive

favorite quotes (some spoilers here, of course, but minimal):

“So, is there a reason we’re beating up a brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang?” “We?” “I mean, I haven’t done anything yet, but I’ve got a couple of hockey sticks in my truck if you want to do some real damage?”

“I’m exactly where I want to be.” The truth was, right now, I just wanted to be wherever she was.

One moment, all you can think about is his warm brown eyes and soft dark hair. The next, you realize his hair is actually a little greasy, and his eyes are closer to the color of mud than honey. Even his voice, which was once soft and melodic suddenly sounds more like the whining purr of a drone.

With every word, this girl was shattering my heart but making it beat harder at the same time.

“I guess I’d rather be feared than loved.” His eyes were still distant, and I tried to read the emotion flickering in his gaze. “Really? Why?” “It’s easier,” he replied. “No one can screw you over if you don’t give them the chance.”

“You know what they say about guys with big feet…” “They make great clowns,”

“I think I could easily come up with a list of things he saw in you.” “I don’t need a list.” I laughed. “Are you sure? Because I’m more than happy to write one up and pass it on to him.”

Loneliness and sadness depicted in a moody but colorful palette. To me it even feels like a bit "slice of life" despite its sad nature.

Plus one 1/9

Summary : When Lando Norris realizes he's the only F1 driver attending the Monaco F1 movie premiere without a girlfriend, he panics and convinces Oscar to help him find a last-minute plus one.

Author note : I get this story idea after the private projection of the F1 movie with all the drivers in Monaco (also can we imagine they weren't wearing their team kit and actually did dress up).

Genre : pure fluff

Series masterlist

Main masterlist

Lando Norris had never minded being alone.

Not in the way that people always made it out to be, he wasn’t lonely, he just… liked his space. Relationships, for all their affection and comfort, always seemed like too much work for someone who barely had time to unpack his suitcase before flying off again. So no, he didn’t crave candlelit dinners or Sunday mornings entangled in sheets. He had freedom, and for the most part, he liked it.

But this week in Monaco, it hit differently.

The private screening of the much-hyped F1 movie was set for that evening: an exclusive, glitzy event organized as part of the Grand Prix weekend. Invitations had gone out to every driver on the grid, along with the sly note that "plus ones are welcome." Lando hadn’t thought much of it at first. He figured he’d just show up solo, shake a few hands, maybe take a few pictures, and go home. Simple.

That was until yesterday afternoon, when Carlos asked if they were all meeting beforehand.

"Sure," Lando had said, "you bringing anyone?"

Carlos grinned. "Rebecca, of course."

And that was the beginning of the end.

Oscar was bringing Lily. Charles mentioned Alexandra in passing, like it was obvious. George was already coordinating outfit colors with Carmen.

Lando had laughed, brushing it off with a "Well, someone’s got to be the mysterious bachelor," but the joke didn’t quite land.

Now, it was the morning of the event, and he was on a padel court near the port, sweating under the mid-May sun and trying to shake off the odd itch in his chest that had nothing to do with the heat.

He hated to admit it, but showing up alone tonight sounded... depressing. And for once, he didn’t want to be the guy arriving solo while everyone else walked in, hand-in-hand, whispering in each other's ears and giggling at inside jokes. He wanted someone next to him. Someone who looked at him like he belonged.

The ball thudded off the glass behind him. Match over.

He slung his racket onto the bench and tugged off his wristbands, then dropped onto the seat beside Oscar.

"You're coming with Lily tonight, yeah?" he asked, more casually than he felt.

Oscar shot him a look. "Yeah, of course. And you, you have a date?"

"Nah."

Oscar raised a brow. "Do you want to? Like, actually?"

Lando blinked. "What do you mean?"

"I could ask Lily. I’m sure one of her friends would say yes if I told her you needed a plus one."

Lando snorted. "What, like a matchmaking service?"

Oscar shrugged. "I’m just saying. Might be nice to show up with someone on your arm. Lily’s friends are cool. I could text her right now."

Lando hesitated, visibly squirming. "It’d be super awkward. I mean, if I don’t know her and she doesn’t know me? What would we even talk about?"

Oscar grinned. "That’s what small talk is for."

"And there’ll be cameras. A little much for a first meeting, don’t you think?"

Oscar laughed. "You’re the one acting all moody about being the only single guy tonight. I’m offering solutions."

Lando exhaled through his nose. "Maybe. I mean, just hypothetically. Who is this girl?"

Oscar grinned. "Hypothetically?"

"Yeah. Just tell me her name."

Oscar chuckled, clearly pleased with himself. “Her name’s Y/N. Actually, you’ll like her. She’s calm, which is good for you, keeps you from spiraling like a feral cat. Funny, too. And pretty. It could be a solid match.”

Lando sat back on the bench. “And you think she’d actually want to go? With me?”

Oscar’s tone turned teasing. “What, suddenly shy? I thought you were Mister Confidence.”

“Not when it’s someone I’ve never met. You know what, thanks for helping, but no. I’m good."

Oscar held up his hands in surrender. "Suit yourself. Just don’t sulk when we’re all paired up and you’re third-wheeling with the press."

Lando walked away with a grunt, heading toward the trailers to cool off.

Later back at his place, after his shower, he kept remembering Oscar proposition, then he took his phone and his thumb moved almost involuntarily to Instagram. Curiosity was a hell of a thing.

He looked into Lily’s followers and typed the name in the search bar. Only one profile popped up and it was a public one. Lucky him.

It wasn’t even ten minutes later that he called Oscar.

Oscar answered with a lazy, “Changed your mind already?”

"Just, maybe your right, maybe it could be nice to have someone with me for change. You really think she will accept to come ?" Lando ask nervously.

Oscar laughed. “Well we will see, let me text her. Be right back.”

And now Lando felt… nervous. Which was rare. He could race at 300 km/h and barely blink, but asking a stranger to be his date to a glamorous event with cameras and attention? Suddenly that felt like a lot.

What if she said yes and regretted it? What if she didn’t know anything about F1 and thought he was dull? What if he said something awkward and ruined the whole night?

His phone buzzed with a new message.

Oscar: She said yes.

Lando blinked.

Oscar: Well, she said “Sure, why not?” which is basically a yes. You’re welcome.

Lando’s stomach flipped. That was fast.

He stared at the screen for a moment, thumb hovering over the keyboard.

Lando: Wait… she really said yes?

Oscar: Yeah. Chill. Just don’t be weird about it.

Too late for that.

The formal reception room at the Alexander Palace

Alexandra's Formal Reception Room was one of the sunniest rooms in the palace and the largest of the personal rooms of the Imperial family. It connected to one of the palace libraries and was situated in the far right corner of the palace. Seven big windows looked out from the Reception Room onto the Alexander Park. The walls were covered with white artificial marble and topped by a beautifully molded entablature whose crispness and clean classical design is the mark of the work of the architect Quarenghi.

If one were an ambassador, minister or foreign dignitary Alexandra would probably have received you here. She also received members of the Court and aristocracy in the Formal Reception Room. The room was also used on occasion for special dinners or luncheons and could seat about 30 comfortably.

This room preserved the austere late 18th century style which Catherine the Great had intended for her grandson's palace

There were a number of large paintings on the walls. The most prominent was a huge painting of "The Cossacks of the Imperial Guard". It was painted by the French military painter Edouard Detaille, in 1889 for Alexander III. Detaille also worked for Nicholas II - who had several Detaille watercolors in his rooms. This giant canvas was commissioned at a cost of $50,000 - which would be close to a million dollars today.

Between the two doors of which lead into the Formal Reception Room hung a large portrait of Alexandra in a heavy gilt frame which was painted in 1903 by the German artist, Kaulbach, who was one of Alexandra's favorite painters. It was a moody painting showing the Empress in a dark forest wearing a shimmering mauve gown and wearing a diamond tiara. After the artists did studies for the Empress's face he requested that the dress be sent to Munich, where it was mounted on a figure the same size as the Empress - thus the artist completed the picture.

After the portarit was completed and shipped off to the Russian capital Kaulbach humbly asked the Empress for the dress as a memento and she granted his request. The Kaulbach family still preserves this dress. Kaulbach's study for this painting was Nicholas's favorite portrait of his wife and he placed it in his New Study.

One of the most famous items in the Formal reception room was a Gobeliens tapestry of Marie Antoinette - a copy after Madame Vigee-Lebrun made in 1887. This tapestry was a gift of the French President Lebrun to Alexandra, who was a collector of Marie Antoinette's personal things. The Empress was quite interested in the tragic Queen of France and read a lot about her.

Finally, next to the Detaille was large painting of the "Coronation of Nicholas II" by the Danish court artist, Laurets Tuxen. Copies of this painting hung at the Dowager Empress Marie's Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg and in Buckingham Palace in London. {x}

[the-last-tsar]

"The Tsar and Tsaritsa had been delighted with Olga when she was born on 15 November 1895 — even though in the Romanov family for generations the first-born had usually been a boy. There was plenty of time yet for a son and heir. A huge, fat, bonny baby, Olga turned into rather a plain, serious little girl. But then, at 15, she suddenly became pretty. She was not a beauty like her younger sisters Tatiana and Maria, but was somehow very feminine and vulnerable. With her round face, turned-up nose ('my humble snub', as she called it), high cheekbones, light chestnut hair and blue eyes, Olga Nikolaevna Romanova was the epitome of Slavic beauty. She was never conscious of her charming looks and did not pay much attention to her appearance. From the start she was someone for whom the inner life was paramount, and it showed in her face. True, on the outside she had a gentle, timid charm and softness all her own — like that of her father, whom she most resembled. But of all the sisters she was the most serious and thoughtful — a melancholic dreamer who loved poetry and music. Unlike her father, however, she never learned to control her outbursts of sometimes violent temper and could be impetuous and capricious. Her fierce intelligence meant that sometimes she would be too outspoken in what she said, and her remarks could be wounding. Being the eldest, she was expected to set an example to the others, and as time went on she occasionally clashed with her mother and would go off into moody sulks when reprimanded. Alexandra had problems controlling her behaviour, exhorting her to "try to be an example of what a good little obedient girlie ought to be" for her younger sisters. But Olga found it hard to toe the line and as she grew older sought to assert her independence, tending to separate off into her own inner world. There was always, from a young age, a deep, sometimes lost expression on her face, and as the years went on it became ever more marked in the photographs taken of her."

ོ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ོ

some tidbits from her wilderness storyline:

⋆* Has the worst case of homesickness, and this does not bode well for her in the wilderness. This turns her into one of the 'babies' of the group, even if she's basically the same age as the others.

⋆* ⋆* Willa takes photos for the school yearbook committee. So she takes her camera and lots of film with her on the nationals trip to Seattle to capture the journey to victory of the Yellowjackets. Willa's camera survives the crash, and she occasionally takes pictures of nature, wildlife, the team and their survival. The pictures get more eerie and delirious as time passes. Shauna is quick to snatch her camera off her one day when she sees her constantly walking around with that thing, and is paranoid about what's on there. However, the team take it up for Willa, since her camera is her last thread of sanity and normalcy keeping her from completely losing herself. Tai tells Van she's contemplating making the camera disappear when she's worrying about loose ends. The film never gets seen again and thus never gets developed after their rescue. Or...?

⋆* She has a lasting scar going from her chin to her lips from debris that flew through the cabin during the crash. One of her lower teeth on the side got chipped, too.

⋆* She's not afraid to get her hands dirty and spends her days foraging or crafting helpful things, anything to get her mind to stop spiralling.

⋆* Willa doesn't eat Jackie, initially. Just like she refused to eat any of the animals at first. But she had to put her morals aside when she kept fainting. During the night of Snackie, she sticks close to Ben, wary and scared of her friends for a while. It isn't until she passes out from hunger again that she takes some food handed to her on a promise that it's a small rabbit Nat and Travis happened to find. She realises later that she was lied to, even if it was for her own sake. She reaches a dark place and loses her sense of self, barely able to live with the knowledge of what happened (oh bbg get ready, the worst is yet to come). She loses hope for rescue and the light in her eyes simmers after each setback that follows. It all chips away at her, taking something from her every time. Ben's death and how he was treated already sends her close to the edge, especially since he was such an older brother figure to her and she feels partially guilty for his demise, but her true breaking point isn't until Mari's death.

⋆* Having said that, Willa remains very hopeful for their rescue for months. So much so, that it infuriates the others. Because let's face it, it's not happening anymore. No one's still looking for them or they would've found them already, and Willa talking about going home, seeing her parents and sleeping in her own bed again, only brings down morale at this point.

⋆* Willa is beside herself when Mari doesn't show up for the longest time after her fight with Shauna. She searches the woods for hours on end. She finds Mari the next day, when the girl's hopping back towards camp on her painful knee. As her best friend clings to her, crying from relief and pain, Willa listens to her spill everything about Ben. Together, they come up with a believable story. Once at camp, they try to stick to the story they fabricated to keep Ben safe, but fail. Badly. We know the rest.

⋆* The wilderness fucked her up. Like, truly, badly, deeply, horribly, needed-years-to-normally-function-again fucked up. Willa goes completely mute after her best friend Mari dies during the hunt and she cries and panics the entire time the hunt lasts. She tries to help Mari by stalling the others, but Shauna catches onto that quickly and singles Willa out. Willa doesn't let her do so without a fight. When she sees Mari's corpse being dragged through the snow, bloodied, impaled and stripped from her clothes, she gets sick. After the hunt, she becomes a ghost. Especially since she isn’t allowed any time to mourn Mari or pay her respects when she immediately gets cut open and dehumanised. Willa changes into empty eyes, rigid posture, head down and a curtain of hair shielding her face. There's zero energy left to talk, or think, so she just... exists. She doesn't come out of her hut anymore and never looks anyone in the eye. She's basically just as dead as Mari, the only difference being that Willa still has a beating heart. Some of the others try to look after her but get zero reaction to their pleas to eat something, leftover Mari, wash up or get warm by the fire. Van avoids her like the plague and feels guilty and worried watching Willa's decline. Lottie tries to coax her out of her stupor too, but only makes it worse by saying it was what It wanted, that it was an honourable sacrifice and that It is pleased. If Willa only lets It in, she can find peace and comfort in her grieving. Shauna can't handle Willa's silence and gets restless because of it, taking it as a sign of defiance and hatred. Willa is then further pushed to the edge by Shauna when she can't find Willa's film rolls or camera during a hut sweep and Willa finally snaps. She goes so crazy that even Shauna backs off.

⋆* Talking about Lottie... since Willa is seen as one of the more 'innocent' among them at first, Lottie feels as though the Wilderness wants Willa to let It in, and that because of her innocence, it will be easier for It to speak through her too. She constantly tries to gently start up a conversation, comforting her when she's crying about missing her parents or trying to get her to eat meat, because It wants her to be strong, not starve to death. Mari even encourages Willa to let Lottie help, telling her Lottie's being genuine, because she is. The seance, the bear and all the other things making Lottie stand out are intriguing, but something doesn't feel right. Willa's afraid and hesitant that if she fully gives in to It, she'll have to shed who she was before the crash, stop wishing to go home, and truly accept she'll never leave the wilderness. She can't do that. She won't be tethered to that place.

ོ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ོ

some tiny pre-crash snippets

⋆* Willa was a very sensitive girl, definitely not ready to take on what was in store for her.

⋆* She was coddled a lot by her parents because they had trouble getting pregnant, lost their first baby and almost lost Willa too. So, she grew up very shy and sheltered and didn't get out of her comfort zone. This became a problem when she started middle school, so they signed her up for the soccer team tryouts. Willa was not scholarship-great at soccer, but good enough to make the team. She didn't mind being a bench player and actually quite enjoyed bringing the support and the orange slices to each match. She had a better strategic view anyway, which Ben tried to nudge coach Martinez to incorporate into their play from time to time. Jackie made it her job to welcome and accept Willa like they'd all been friends for years. It worked. Through her bond with the team and her new friendships, Willa started to finally stop being a wallflower and grow into herself.

⋆* Having said that, Willa was bullied a lot in school before joining the team and was a bit of a loner until she was part of the Yellowjackets. The bullying didn't stop entirely, not until Mari happened.

⋆* She was closest to Mari in school, which seemed like an odd match at first (wallflower and popular girl), but it made so much sense. One day, Mari witnessed Willa being bullied and she felt a strong urge to step in, and completely obliterated her bullies. Willa doesn't fully start to trust and commit to her friendship with Mari until that moment. Mari made sure Willa didn't miss out on any teenage experience: having sleepovers, going to parties and playing spin the bottle with classmates, drinking from her parents's liquor cabinet and at least skipping school once. In return, Willa showed Mari what true friendship and loyalty felt like, finally making Mari feel like she had one best friend she trusted, could rely on and knew through and through, instead of having friends who hung out with her simply because she was popular. Lots of late-night milkshake drives, shopping at the mall, making friendship bracelets or watching cheesy chick flicks after school. Their cubbies in the locker room were also next to each other.

⋆* Initially, Willa is also on pretty good terms with Shauna, but this connection severs when Shauna starts hating Mari more and more and thus, by association, you, as you and Mari grow even closer. There were also definitely… feelings there, on Shauna’s part, at least.

⋆* Willa is the only one who gives Misty the light of day. Willa felt bad and asked her to get slushies and cheeseburgers once after training when Misty tried and failed to invite herself to another one of Jeff's parties. She also lets Misty sit beside her on the bench during matches. From then on, Misty considers Willa her best friend (unbeknownst to Willa), even during adulthood.

things i'm still debating on:

⋆* Was Willa the one to place the phone playing 'Queen of Hearts' in the restaurant restroom and is she secretly fucking with Shauna, because she still holds a grudge against her?

⋆* Is Willa rumoured to be alive in the adult timeline when some of her wilderness photos turn up in a new book or documentary or on someone's doorstep, just like the tape? Which, at first, Melissa is also blamed for?

⋆* Do other photos she took show up too? Maybe some that Willa took while secretly following adult Shauna? Photos that can incriminate Shauna and still tie her to Adam's murder?

⋆* Adult Willa reveal when she's in the same diner booth with Tai and Misty at the end of 3x10, ready to stop Shauna's destructive streak?

⋆* Willa is still plagued by Mari’s death and there has never been a day she hasn’t thought of her best friend.

Very nervous about this because I haven't really shared an OC like this before, and it's always scary to share something that you love and worked hard on. But I've loved diving into Willa and expanding her character. Willa has lived in my mind and notebook ever since watching the first season, and after the season finale and the loss of Mari, I finally felt like putting it all together on here. And seeing as we'll likely have to wait another 1-2 years for season 4, this will be the perfect thing to keep me occupied.

I'll add to her story/character or tweak things as I go.

I'll probably make a post one day about her ties to every teen character and more about her adult storyline 🖤

Barbie Zodiacs!

Hi Barbies, Kens, Allans, and Humans!

Thanks to them.us we now know zodiac signs for the residents of Barbieland in the movie! To make it easy for us tumblerinas I’m gonna post em all here but the link at the bottom too!

Spoilers for Barbie movie under cut, tho I tried to get the most spoiler free pieces of the article for the little Barbie blurbs. You’ve been formally warned. (Also not an exhaustive list, sorry if your fav isn’t on here!)

Aries: Ken (Ncuti Gatwa)

Gatwa’s Ken is a great encapsulation of Aries, bold and passionate, who thrive on challenges, but are ultimately driven by their hearts.

Taurus: Doctor Barbie (Hari Nef)

Like any good doctor, Nef shows these Earth signs are reliable and down to earth, and they’ve got your back

Gemini: Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon)

Geminis are pros at navigating change and transformation, making Weird Barbie the perfect character for Stereotypical Barbie to turn to when she starts malfunctioning

Cancer: Lawyer Barbie (Sharon Rooney)

“I have no difficulty holding both logic and feeling at the same time,” Rooney’s Lawyer Barbie declares at the start of the film. “And it does not diminish my powers. It expands them.” This statement beautifully sums up Cancers, water signs known for their sensitivity and intuition.

Leo: Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie)

These fire signs are self-assured natural leaders who are passionate about life

Virgo: President Barbie (Issa Rae)

If you want something to get done, call a Virgo. Like Rae’s President Barbie, these Earth signs are hardworking perfectionists who aren’t afraid to call you on your shit

Libra: Author Barbie (Alexandra Shipp)

Author Barbie, played with warmth and effortless charisma by Alexandra Shipp; key traits of Libras, air signs whose charm and wit help them get along with everyone… even if they sometimes dread conflict

Scorpio: Ken (Kingsley Ben-Adir)

A stoic, assertive leader…the best-case scenario for Scorpios, who can be moody and secretive at other moments

Sagittarius: Ken (Simu Liu)

As Gosling’s Ken’s number one rival, Liu’s Ken isn’t afraid to stir things up with some brutal honesty — typical fire sign behavior! Sagittarius is a mutable sign, meaning that even if Sagittarians might engage in some light-hearted clownery from time to time, they’re ultimately flexible people

Capricorn: Pulitzer Prize Winner Barbie (Rita Arya)

“I worked very hard, so I deserve it.” Capricorns channel that energy to a tee. Often characterized as workaholics, they have big goals and discipline to match them.
