the atlas six also known as girl abandons boyfriend to join toxic polycule so boyfriend starts his own polycule in rebellion except everyone in his polycule is old and autistic so they have no clue what they are doing, also the leader of the girl's polycule is actually boyfriend's ex and THAT'S the reason he started an evil polycule. Then they all murder people to deny their feelings. Reina would like to leave.

“His arm fell lifelessly to his side. He looked away and said, “Oliver, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I want to hurt the whole world.” ― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

Okay folks, listen up. My friend and I (mostly I) started casting people for If We Were Villains. Long story short I got obsessed and couldn't stop till I found the perfect cast. And now that I have found them (a british cast for an American production because why not?), I am here to scream it into this corner of the world.

Lo and behold:

Oliver - Josh O'Connor

James - Nicholas Galitzine

Richard - Kedar Williams-Stirling

Alexander - Miguel Herrán

Wren - India Ria Amarteifo

Filippa - Emma Mackey

Meredith - Danielle Galligan

Yes, now I would like us all to collectively manifest this casting to fruition..

P. S. Why was it so damn hard to find a Hispanic-British actor under 30s, who could pull of the nonchalant druggie who is everyone's and no one's best friend?

P. P. S. Robert Sheehan from Misfits days would have been my ideal choice for Alexander though.

God! I'm so tired of being palatable.

me when "If he asked me again, I think I would say yes" and me when "I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe. I would. I can't believe childhood is over." and me when " I don't believe I will ever marry. I'm happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up." and me when " I can't get over my disappointment at being a girl." and me when " What is wrong with me? I've made so many resolutions and written sad notes and cried over my sins, but it just doesn't seem to help. When I get in a passion, I get so savage I could hurt anyone and I'd enjoy it." and me when " I miss everything." and me when " Money is the end and aim of my mercenary existence." and me when " I care more to be loved. I want to be loved." and me when "Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it." and me when "But I'm so lonely" and me when " No one will forget Jo March."

“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”

write that book. publish that blog. apply for that job. dye your hair. cut your bangs. pick up that hobby that you’ve always wanted to try. wear that outfit that you loved but were too afraid to put on in public. life is way too short. be whoever you want to be, and do whatever you want. stop waiting for the right moment, because there will never be one. sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, and do it! live your life the way you want, and don’t ask for anyone’s approval.

Adult stuff that Schools don't teach you, about work and dreaming

Aim for the stars, NEVER give up on your dreams. You just need to learn how to make it a reality. Our time here is finite, the end result is the same for everyone. So, tell fear to go to hell and do whatever makes you feel like it's worthwhile been alive.

Learn the most important skill ever: How to deal with difficult people. From minors inconveniences, to personality clashes, to narcissistic cunts with psychopathic tendencies who enjoys making everyone's life a living hell (mobbing). No school, college, university, trade school or whatever is gonna teach you this. IT WILL SAVE YOUR SANITY. Especially when you don't have the luxury of losing a job. So take advantage of some sweet internet and find resources about this. (Z Library is free and safe)

Expand your skill set. Don't stick with only one thing, learn practical and technical stuff related to your line of work. For example: In film school everyone wants to be a director or a writer, which is great but it takes time, in the meantime learning about editing, sound, lighting, props, wardrobe, etc, can open many other doors. This will pay your bills while you're dreaming. So, take your time to analyze what skills are useful in your work and learn.

Fuck the unpaid internship once graduated. It's slavery with pretty words. If you're still studying, you can (and should if you have time) participate in those unpaid projects, volunteer jobs, and all that; but never ever after getting your [title]. You are valuable, no matter what any company says, and you didn't spend countless hours of effort and sacrifice to not be paid. If you apply point number 3, you will gain experience while also getting money. No amount of experience is worthy. It's like influencers wanting to pay with exposure.

Networking, 90% of the time it's not about your talent but who you know, no matter what kind of job you are doing. And I'm not necessarily talking about nepotism. Sometimes if you know a person they can say: "Oh yes, Clara is a friend and she's excellent at her job. You should consider her." Humans are social creatures, we value the opinions of those who we are friends with or respect. Don't be fake, just be nice and try to get to know your coworkers and people from your field. (There are also books about this if socializing isn't your forte)

(Feel free to reblog and add more stuff. We all know we need this 💀)

if I had a nickel for each time I’ve read of a man who calls the woman he likes an investment I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut (via wordsnquotes)
