We’ve got the inside scoop on Hollywood's newest power couple! Sources have spilled the beans that Mike Faist, the star of "Challengers," and the mystery girl who has been revealed as Y/N L/N, a production assistant under A24, are officially an item. But wait, it gets even juicier!
Y/N, whose impressive resume includes work on several A24 hits like “Pearl,” “X,” and “Lady Bird,” first crossed paths with Mike on the set of “Challengers.” It was he who reportedly made the bold first move, sparking what would soon blossom into a full blown romance.
While both have maintained a level of privacy when it comes to their personal lives, insiders insist that Mike and Y/N are in it for the long haul.

Hi, could I request mike faist x reader where they meet through mutual friends and at first reader is a bit sceptical about him, because he is an actor and she thinks he must be full of himself but gradually she gets to know him and she falls for him, getting to know how humble and kind person he in reality is.
hi guys! i turned my requests off for the time being, just because i have about 7 drafts i need to work on right now and any more might make my head explode. as soon as i get caught up though, i’ll open them up again :)

Charming
“what would you say to a blind date? i know a guy,” your friend alyssa asked smugly.
you had met alyssa while in college at nyu, and remained close friends after graduation. you had even recently moved in together into a small apartment. you were the introvert to her extrovert, the quiet to her loud. she pulled a lot of guys, and you didn’t, and you had accepted that. it was just the way it always had been.
you scoffed. “alyssa, i love you, but your taste in men is horrible. i don’t trust you to set me up with anyone.”
you were sitting at a coffee shop with her, and she leaned across the table. “Y/N, your love life is nonexistent. you need some action. trust me, i went to high school with this guy. he’s super nice, you’d like him.”
you tilted your head knowingly. every time alyssa has tried to introduce you to a guy, he was either never your type or was never interested in you. things never went well when she set you up with guys.
you knew you definitely needed help with relationships, though. you had never been in a real relationship, and it’s been years since you’ve been on a date. for a while, you were fine with that. you had bigger and better things to focus on anyway. but, you also felt ready to date again. alyssa was your best friend, and that’s sometimes enough, but you were ready to find a boyfriend. you were ready to find your other half.
you sighed. “okay, fine, you win. but if this doesn’t work out you can’t say that i didn’t tell you so.”
alyssa smiled wide. “thanks Y/N! i promise you, this one is different. he’s not the typical guy i’ve set you up with before.”
you rolled your eyes. “yeah, sure.”
she had planned the date for you: you were to meet the mystery man down town at an italian restaurant at 7pm on friday night.
“lyss, whats the dress code for this? do i have to dress nice?” you asked after getting out of the shower, wearing your robe. alyssa sat on your bed, smiling complacently.
“semi-formal. i want you to look hot and put together, but not pretentious.”
you giggled. “okay, fine. whatever you say.”
you did your wavy hair routine and applied curl cream, gel, and mousse before diffusing your hair. it laid over your shoulders, your natural waves looking lively and bouncy.
you did a light makeup look, only applying mascara, a bit of eyeliner, blush, highlighter, and a nude pink lipstick.
“i have the perfect dress for you,” alyssa said, pulling a dress out of her bag.
your eyes widened as she held it up. “are you serious?”
“try it on!”
you went into the bathroom, slipping the dress on. it was a small, black cocktail dress that stopped midway down your thigh. it hugged tightly around your curves, and the long, black mesh lantern sleeves accentuated your arms.
you walked out, and alyssa’s jaw dropped. “Y/N, you look hot.”
“don’t you think this is a little…” you looked down at your dress. “much?”
“not at all,” she replied, placing a silver necklace on your chest to match your dangling silver earrings. “you look ready for a date.”
you sighed. “if you say so. you seem to know best.”
she grinned. “that’s right, i do know best.”
as alyssa drove to the restaurant, you tried to get as much information as possible. “can’t you tell me anything about this guy?”
“his name is mike.”
you laughed. “thanks lyss, that tells me so much,” you replied. “what if this guy’s a murderer or a real dick and you’re just throwing me head first into danger?”
alyssa threw her head back. “he’s not, Y/N! i know this guy, he was always great. give him a chance, okay?”
you pulled up to the restaurant right at 7. “if this ends badly, i think i’m going to have to find a new best friend.”
you opened the car door as alyssa lightly shoved you. “that’s what you always say, and i’m still here.” you stepped out onto the street, getting one last “good luck!” before you closed the door and nervously walked into the restaurant.
the restaurant was dimly lit, but lively with customers. you walked to the hostess stand, your heart beating out of your chest.
“hi, is there a mike waiting here yet?” you asked apprehensively.
the woman smiled. “yes, i’ll show you to your table.”
you followed the woman to the back of the restaurant, where you rounded a corner into a private room. at the table was the man said to be mike.
immediately, you thought he was, surprisingly, very handsome compared to all the other guys you’ve been set up with in the past. he had chiseled and defined features, and bright blue eyes. his body was bulked like he worked out often, but not entirely ripped. he had a dusty, brunette head of hair that was neatly combed. he gave you a smile, and you had no choice but to smile back.
“i’m assuming you’re Y/N?” mike asked. when you nodded as you sat down, he reached out a hand for you to shake. “i’m mike faist, it’s great to meet you.”
“it’s good to meet you too.”
he looked down at the table before looking up at you again. “i’m not used to doing things like this, so i’m sorry if i seem a little rusty.”
you moved your hand as if you were brushing something away. “don’t worry about it, i am too. it’s been a long time since i’ve been on a date.”
a silence fell over the table, and you searched your brain for conversation starters. “so, um, what do you do for work?”
mike smiled like he had expected this question, and looked away briefly. “i’m an actor.”
you nodded. “that’s really cool, actually. what kinds of things have you booked so far?” you asked, not expecting the answer you were going to receive.
new york was the city of dreams, and there were a plethora of aspiring actors and performers in the city. you assumed he was one of them, looking for a way to make ends meet.
“oh, you know,” he started, shrugging. “just a few broadway shows, a few off broadway shows, a few movies and tv shows, the works.”
your jaw dropped slightly. you firmly believed all actors of mike’s caliber had only their best interest in mind. they were full of themselves, pretentious. they would do anything to keep their fame. you should have known this guy seemed too good to be true.
you nodded, amused. “no kidding,” you started, resting your chin on your hand. “tell me everything,” you said sarcastically.
your smiled was probably a dead give away that you were trying to get him to walk right into your trap. you wanted him to keep going about his career so you could rub it in alyssa’s face, once again, that her playing matchmaker was never going to work.
“well,” mike started, looking unsure. “my work can wait for some other time, it’s not all that interesting to most people. i want to hear about you. what do you do?”
your smug smile fell. you didn’t expect him to be more interested in you than he was in himself. “oh, yeah, um,” you said, caught off guard. “i own a small coffee shop, a few blocks from time square.”
he nodded, a real smile on his face. “awesome, maybe i could get a coffee from you some day while you’re there.”
you smiled against your will. this guy was probably used to charming people to get what he wants. “you can certainly come and visit me someday.”
mike smiled. “i just might have to.”
you couldn’t help but grin back. there was a short, comfortable silence before it was interrupted by the waiter coming by to take the orders.
after the waiter left, mike turned back to you. “i don’t know what you were planning for the check, but don’t worry about it. i have it covered, this is my treat.”
“it’s fine, i know you’ve got a lot of money from all this acting you’ve been doing, but i can cover my own.”
mike shook his head. “that’s not why i want to cover it. it’s the right thing to do, that’s all.”
at this point, you were trying to find reasons to dislike this guy, but you couldn’t come up with any reasonable ones yet. he was totally different from what you expected.
mike lightly scrunched his nose. “why do you have that look on your face?”
you sighed and looked down at your hands in your lap, your fingers nervously fidgeting. “because i’m trying to come up with reasons why i shouldn’t like you.”
mike looked at you confusedly, but with a curious look that prompted you to keep going. “i’m used to these blind dates going south very quickly, and that hasn’t happened like i thought it would, and now i don’t know what to do.”
mike’s confused glares went to sympathy. “i’m glad i can be the different one for you.”
you lightly blushed. you decided to let your rough exterior fall around him. “that’s enough about me, tell me about you.”
he grinned. “well, i have a play coming up that i have to start rehearsals for soon.”
you tilted your head. “no kidding! that’s really cool, actually,” you replied, genuinely meaning it.
the rest of the night at the restaurant, you and mike continued having conversations about your lives, passions, and everything in between. it felt oddly liberating, because you were so used to only ever having one person to talk to, and that one person talked about herself most of the time.
it got to the point where the restaurant had to tell you two to leave, because you were sitting there for so long and the restaurant was closing.
“can i give you a ride home?” mike asked as you walked out of the restaurant.
“i would love that.”
he opened the passenger door of his car as you got in. you were trying to hold in a giddy smile; against your better judgment, you really liked mike.
“thank you for tonight, mike. i really enjoyed getting to know you,” you said as he drove into the streets of new york city.
“always. let me know if you want to do it again,” he said with a grin.
you laughed. “i might just have to take you up on that.”
mike glanced at you while he drove, then looked back at the road. “it’s been a long time since i’ve enjoyed a date this much.”
you were full on smiling at this point. “i’ve never even had an enjoyable date until now.”
he glanced at you, but for longer this time. “okay, you win.”
when he pulled up to your apartment building, you both looked at each other.
“do you think we should…” you said, trailing off. “do a lap around the block?”
mike nodded. “yeah, definitely.”
he drove slowly around the block as the two of you continued talking, and then he pulled up to the building again. “should we…?”
“keep going,” you answered.
he made another lap around the block, your endless conversations continuing, and finally you both decided that was enough and he parked the car in the lot. you both got out, and he stood in front of you. he towered over you with his height as you looked up at him.
“you have my number, right?” you asked him.
he nodded. “i’ll let you know what days i’m free to do this again.”
you bit your lip. “i’m sorry for being kind of an asshole at the beginning of the night. i was hesitant to let my guard down, i was going into tonight thinking it would be a disaster and i was hoping i could tell alyssa that her plan failed once again.”
mike looked down at your hands, and hesitantly took your fingers in his. your heat rate immediately picked up.
“you don’t have to apologize. i didn’t think it would go well either. until it did,” he said with a laugh.
you stood on your tiptoes and planted a small kiss on his cheek. “thank you again, mike.”
he wrapped you in a welcoming hug. it was comfortable, and you felt like you could live in that moment forever. you never thought this would be happening on one of alyssa’s blind dates.
“of course, Y/N.”
you pulled away, and waved goodbye as you walked into your building. you noticed mike didn’t get back into his car until he knew you were safe inside. before walking to the elevator in the building, you stood against the wall, smiling to yourself. 
when you had finally made it upstairs, alyssa had opened the door to the apartment before you had a chance to get your key out of your pocket.
“how’d it go?” she asked breathlessly, a wide smile etched on her face.
you sighed. “i hate that you might be right about this one.”
*
you met up with mike two more times after that, and feelings were definitely building between the two of you. you spent most of your free time calling or texting mike, and flirting while playing mario kart and imessage games. at first, you worried the connection you were building wouldn’t translate in person; but it did.
you thought it would bother you that mike was somewhat of a celebrity. you expected to hear all about his work and his extraordinary life as a famous performer, but he rarely talked about that side of his life with you. he always made sure to make it about you, even though you wouldn’t mind hearing about his work every once in a while. now you just found it cool that he was doing what he was doing. but, he didn’t want your relationship to be entirely covered up by his work, which you appreciated.
on your fourth date, mike took you to an art museum within new york city, and you dressed classy for the occasion.
you walked out of the doors to your apartment building, where mike was also dressed classy, leaning against the hood of his car.
he looked you up and down, his eyebrows raising. “well, look at you.”
you blushed. “look at yourself.”
mike looked down, then looked back at you. “we clean up nice, don’t we?”
you smiled and stood in front of him. “we really do.”
you got into his car, and as mike sat down in the drivers seat, he instinctively reached for your hand, leaving his palm up on your thigh. you grabbed it, your heart feeling like it was about to explode. it felt right, despite only knowing him for less than a month.
you got to the museum, and mike opened the passenger door for you, letting you out of the car.
upon walking in, the art on the walls and the displays were mesmerizing. your eyes lit up at the beauty on the walls, and you caught mike staring at you from the side, lightly smiling.
“what are you smiling at?” you asked, turning your head to face him as you walked.
he shrugged. “you. i like seeing you excited.”
you blushed and covered your face with your hands, suddenly embarrassed. “god, you were staring at my horrible side profile.”
mike stopped you from walking by stepping in front of you. he grabbed your wrists gently, taking your hands off your face for you. he held your wrists still, scanning your eyes with his.
“you have one of the prettiest faces i’ve ever seen, Y/N. believe me.”
you bit your lip and nodded timidly. he let go of one wrist, but took your other hand in his as you continued to walk.
“my side profile has always been one of my biggest insecurities.”
“why?” mike questioned, squeezing your hand a little tighter. his touch felt reassuring.
“i don’t know, i guess i just think my nose is too big, and my jaw is kind of square, and my teeth aren’t perfectly straight,” you told him. it was true, your side profile was one of the things that made you most insecure. “there’s nothing i can really do about it though.
his thumb gently rubbed the back of your hand. “i don’t know if my opinion counts, but i think you could fit into any one of these art pieces here.”
you giggled, stopping again and standing in front of him. your bodies were close, and if you made one more move, you could easily plant a kiss on his lips.
you placed your hands on his chest, looking up at him. “you always know how to use your movie star charm to make me feel good.”
mike smiled, taking your face in is hands and leaning down to give you the most euphoric kiss you could ever think of.
“i only do it for you, sweetheart.”

I need your insights on Luca fujoshing out about Daniel and Drew because the way he looks at them is very funny to me like clearly there’s something there…
wait literally my favorite subject. god i'm literally going off the rails with this one so readmore be upon ye
okay not to be /srs for a second but i do think that enjoying luca guadagnino's body of work hinges on the fact that you give in to his voyeuristic eye. i think calling what he does fetishization is going too far because he does it in a way that's decidedly artistic but like. you kind of have to understand that he is horny and meet him in that horniness. AND THAT'S PART OF WHY I LIKE HIM SO MUCH ✋ one of my friends recently described it as the fact that he's literally using his talents to make his barbie dolls kiss. which i think is awesome. and i think this lens of filmmaking he has lends itself to fujoing out. crazy sentence to type. but in a way that kind of blurs the lines between what's in front of the camera and what's beyond it. i could probably find quotes to back this up but maybe just trust me for now. anyway moving on
real ones will remember this story from the set of call me by your name, which further establishes the fujoshi lore:
Tumblr media
need i say more? anyway (scared to say this due to this ship still having rabid fans to this day) i personally think the likelihood that timmy and armie slept together for real are slim. if they did i have to believe the fujo spirit is just that strong. anyway jury is still out on the casts of his movies since (though i saw a video recently that proved i could be convinced about josh o'connor and mike faist Easily) but like. anyway if i'm going to be known fujoshi luca gudagnino and i'm aware of the fact that my two leads in a passion project movie whose source material is extremely dear to me are having an affair i'm going to be the cat that got the cream about it. which is what he's seemed to be anytime he's around them?
my #theory is more specifically to the video i posted the other day but speaks to this broadly but it's like. i swear that when the interviewer asks about the sex scenes luca says "it's funny" to like. subconsciously prompt daniel to talk about them giggling because immediately after he like hides his smile behind his hand. anyway i literally do believe he's proud of his matchmaking and he's slyly sharing that with the world. #ibelieve
