Bette Davis as Rosa Moline in "Beyond the Forest" (1949) This was Bette's last movie under her contract with Warner Bros. This is also one of her worst movies.

Someone in Seattle (Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, 11.6k words, oneshot)

“Could I, like… would you be my model for it? Maybe?” “That’s what the coffee was for then?” “No, that was, uh.” He can feel his face heating up, skin undeniably turning a deeper shade of red under Lando’s gaze – mirthful and a little something else. “That was different.” “Gonna say what?” “No.”

Started this ages ago when I was sick, finally got around to forcing it to completion. To quote myself in discord: I'm going to pry this fic from my cold dead hands.

Answering the age old question: Fellas, is it gay to fall in love with your muse?

The Rain Road as Gaeilge

I am by no means a translator, but I do speak Irish fluently and have played trad for years (although I've lapsed due to college and work), so when the fireside chat mentioned having the Rain Road in Irish I had to throw my own spin on it. I may also record a version of it in Irish but we'll see. Shoutout to @franavu for also inspiring me with their Dutch translation!

An Bóthar Báistí

[First Verse/Céad Véarsa]

Áit go mbíonn na tonnta ag lapadaíl Ag an gcoill cois fharraige Airímis casadh an taoide Le grá chomh daingean le crainn

[Chorus/Cór]

Leag do drúcht-sa ar croí na coille I dtost na dtoinn nach madhmann a thuilleadh Fáisc mé le d’ucht, roimh m’imeachta Ar bhóthar báistí, slí na mara

[Bridge/Droichead]

An gcuirfear fuacht sa talamh? An bhfágfar muid gan samhradh? An gcuirfidh stoirm muid, ó bhealach Scartha ón gcladach, ‘gus ón gcoill

[Chorus/Cór]

Is mise an drúcht ar croí na coille ’gus tost na dtoinn nach madhmann a thuilleadh Fáisc mé le d’ucht, a ghrá, sula bhfágaim go deo Ar bhóthar báistí, slí na mara

Ar bhóthar báistí, slí na mara

I'm so normal about middle-aged men in Kdrama

[bookhorder16]

All right now that I am somewhat calmed down from the movie. Even though it was amazing I have some problems.

*spoilers under cut*

No August Sader are you kidding me!!!

The forest was not blue

There was no circus of talents

Which meant no big reveal at the circus

No bane and no secret about what happens to the students

The trail by tales was all messed up

I loved how the ever ball ended up going but I wanted to see Sophie stop the arrow and break up the happy couple

There was no man wolf in the room room! We didnt get to see sophie murder anyone

There was no princess Uma! I loved her

There wasnt a barrier between the schools so no Agatha arguing with it

I loved the actress she was beautiful kinda too beautiful to play Agatha but still amazing

There was no candy room which I really wanted to see

Sophie never got "F"s painted on her so she didnt do any of the classes or outifts

We barely saw any of Anadil's rats

No different colored finger glow

No frog pajamas for Hort

There weren't any school crests like not at all

The symbol on Sophie's mother's grave was a butterfly not a swan which is small but becomes important later on in the books

Sophie's father was suppose to be blonde which again is small but plays a bigger part later on

Dot wasn't big which as a big person I was really looking forward too

Yuba wasnt really there

No Castor and Pollix whatsoever never even mentioned

The whole storyline kinda took away from the mystery surrounding the headmaster which I didnt like

Sophie was nicer during most of the movie. She didnt really use any one that much and wasnt as manipulative till then end.

The whole kidnapping readers thing was all out of whack they didnt even have the story book deliveries

Headcanon: Panem is isolated from a generally thriving world. Nobody knows what the fuck happens there except through rumors. So when Lucy Gray Baird comes onto the scene in future Quebec or whatever, everyone is shocked, like, "WHAT the fuck happened to the US??? I thought they had just gotten really into isolationism again."
