#anyway that and George’s clip is all I watched

[russilton]

I deeply enjoy George getting Esteban a cheap, funny, but legit thought out gift bc it let us see Esteban remember George Knows Him even if he would rather die than admit it

The Merc family bond persists even if Esteban acts like he would sell them all for a corn chip now

TWITCH WAR

pairing: lando norris x driver!reader (brief cameos of charles and russell george)

warnings: swearing. rumplestiltskin. mention of george being a war criminal. wetting pants.

author’s note: not my best work, but this has been sitting in my drafts for too long. anyway, enjoy 💖

• • • • • • •

''Do I play with Y/N?'' Lando read the question out loud, seeing it in his comment section. ''Well, she always told me she was very good at like any kind of game and that she would kick my ass, but then I played with her and… let's say she's definitely not as good as me.'' The Brit bragged about his own skills, a smirk forming on his face.

He glanced at the incoming replies from the fans, enjoying their reactions. ''She asked to play together a few weeks ago and we did, but ever since then I haven't dared to play with her again,'' he grinned, ''whenever she asks me now, I just go offline.''

''Oh, she's gonna kill me when she sees this.'' He giggled like a schoolgirl.

She did in fact kill him when the clip of him talking shit was sent to her by fans and even other drivers. Not literally, that wouldn't be a good career move, but she took to Twitter to indirectly respond to Lando's ''claims''.

YourUsername: people, don't take the words of twinks seriously 😫

Y/N's clapbacks didn't stop there as she went live on Instagram not too long after Lando's Twitch stream. Fans obviously couldn't help but ask about the British driver.

''Do I still want to play with Lando? Nooo~ I don't want to stream with him anymore, I really don't.'' The grin on her face was a dead giveaway she was only teasing him. ''He's super bad, that Rumplestiltskin.''

''She called me Rumplestiltskin?'' Lando read the comment out loud, his eyebrows furrowed. ''What does that even mean?'' He couldn't really remember where the name came from, so he decided to look it up and was met with the character from Shrek.

He gave the camera an unimpressed look before moving on. ''You guys want to know a fun story about Y/N from our karting days?'' A smirk already appeared on his face.

''She was pushed off track by someone and she pissed her pants because of it.''

''It was water! I didn't wet my pants, oh my god!'' The driver exclaimed on stream, not believing that Lando actually told that story. ''We were like 9 years-old.''

''You know, Y/N, I think I also remember that.'' George chimed in, he had been amused by their little Twitch war ever since they started it.

She rolled her eyes upon George's words. ''Hey! It was probably you who pushed me off the track in the first place, you war criminal!'' Y/N clapped back at him.

''Anyway, Lando shouldn't be speaking at all when he still looks and talks like a 9 year-old.''

''Lando, should we invite Y/N to play with us?'' Charles asked the McLaren driver after seeing countless comments in his chat asking about the female driver.

The Brit loudly sighed, causing the Monégasque to burst out laughing. ''What's wrong, Lando?''

''Because of her, people keep asking me if I've hit puberty yet.'' He said, frustration audible in his voice, much to the entertainment of Charles and everyone else watching him.

Their ''beef'' came to an end when the media had started to pick up on their back-and-forths and tried to make it seem like the two close friends hated each other and that they would become a danger to each other on track.

''Are you worried that the words you and Y/N have exchanged over social media will have an effect on how the two of you perform on track?'' One reporter asked Lando in a press conference.

He shook his head. ''We're just joking around, honestly. We've been friends for a long time and we've always joked around with each other like this, so, no, it won't have an effect on track.'' He politely answered, slightly ticked off by the seriousness of it all.

Y/N had been placed into a different group for the press conference, where she was asked about their ''war''. ''There have been some harsh word exchanges between yourself and Lando Norris, are you two on good terms or is there some sort of bad blood?''

''Yeah, we hate each other,'' her sarcastic tone sticking out, ''that's why we voluntarily spent all that time together when we're not racing.'' Her answer gathered laughs from her fellow drivers and even some reporters.

''Also, when we're on the topic,'' she stated, ''just because Lando hasn't hit puberty, doesn't mean that I haven't.''

Sword gays showdown, round 4 of bracket two

Propaganda:

For Hikaru Sulu:

1) Okay, first off: Which version am I submitting? Prime timeline (TOS) or Kelvin timeline (AOS, also known as the reboot movies if you're not in the fandom)? The answer is both. Prime Sulu has the more iconic fencing scenes (and is also said to have other sword related abilities) while Kelvin Sulu is canonically gay. Specifically as a tribute to George Takei btw who played prime Sulu in TOS and is famously gay and an LGBT+ rights activist among other causes. The picture provided is prime Sulu but if you've only watched AOS, feel free to vote for him anyway.

I'm not gonna link any videos here since that would probably exceed the scope of the propaganda section but clips should be pretty easy to find. And if you can't, just trust me: The TOS fencing scenes are amazing. The AOS one is probably fine too but it's been ages since I've watched it and I forgot it even existed so it can't have been THAT memorable.

Fun fact: George Takei initially didn't know how to fence and didn't find out he'd have to until pretty late and started taking fencing lessons only three weeks before the filming of that episode (The Naked Time) and apparently "became so out-of-control and boisterous that he had to be separated from the rest of the production personnel, for their own safety" which, in context of what the episode is about, is just absolutely amazing. Truly iconic.

Anyway, considering Star Trek is an important part of queer history (I'm only half joking) you need to vote for Sulu, we all know George Takei is an icon, make the right choice here.

2) When they got hit with the drunk virus he took his shirt off and started challenging people to duels. Iconic 

3) This bitch got the outer space disease that makes you silly, and revealed they were gung ho for fencing, and brought out their sabre to just. Swashbuckle. Goes "/oh my/," and is clearly gay and played by a gay actor

For Olivier:

She is only female general in her nation, and guards the northern border. She fights with a sword even though there are other people with guns. Olivier is unmarried despite being older (not sure how old exactly, but she is a general, and that takes time). To the best of my knowledge she shows no interest in anyone, thus making it possible to interpret her as aromantic and asexual, or as a lesbian. The bit where Mustang offers to take her on a date and she threatens to eat so much she will bankrupt him is funny.

BLLK BOYS W/ A THEATER NERD S/O

notes: HELP I H8 THE DRABBLES..🥲 (og ask)

characters: Reo, Isagi, Rin, Bachira

warnings: cursing?, implied fem, cringe

bllk mlist

MIKAGE REO

oh, he just LOVES watching your performances. 

Wether your on stage or not- he comes to EVERY show (drags nagi w/him too LMAO)

Helps you memorize any of your lines / helps you gather stuff you’ll need backstage.

He loves seeing you thrive in theater, and how happy it makes you ><

He always listens intently when you talk about your favorite broadway show, amazed how you remember even the smallest details

Sings your favorite musical songs with you, he will even act out the scene with you

Brings you a BIG bouquet of assorted flowers when the performance is over— rambling about how just wonderful it was

He is really proud of the effort you put into you craft, and the outcome always amazes him

Everyone had gathered on stage for the final bow, the crowd clapped and cheered. You smiled when you spotted your boyfriend holding up a limp Nagi. Reo clapped with a bright smile on his lips— and Nagi squinting at the bright lights. Everyone headed backstage and the crowd cleared, most left but close friends and family stayed and came backstage.

“Y/N that was wonderful!” You hear the familiar voice of your boyfriend praise, him running to you and hugging you tightly. He pecked your cheeks and held onto your arms. “My love that might just have been your best performance yet,” You snorted at his comment “Reo, you say that after every performance.”

“Well every performance is perfect my love,” Reo quips, his face into a smooth grin. Behind him trailed Nagi, who slurred a ‘good job’ with a thumbs up. Reo pulls back a bit and hands you a beautiful bouquet you can’t help but smile at. It was so pretty, full of tulips and lillies and smaller flowers complimenting the main ones.

“Thank you Reo,” you smiled before kissing his cheek. “Of course my love, just doing my job,”  <3

ISAGI YOICHI

oh he is so cute

You 100% get him into the world of theater

Thinks that it’s really cool how you’re passionate about this

Super supportive— tells all his friends about your plays and all of the stuff you like

His favorite broadway shows are Dear Evan Hanson and Hamilton— he thinks King George is hilarious

He likes being involved with your plays anyway he can—he will be try to be involved if he is free

Tells his family all about your performance!!

The whole family goes to your shows (≧∀≦)

Tries to memorize your lines / the plays lines with you but forgets them 💀

(or) Tries helping you with props/technical stuff but doesn’t know what to do so he just stands there 😭

“Yoichi- can you pass me the yellow please?” You asked from sitting on the floor, paint brush in hand. On the floor was props you were tasked with making. 

“Here,” Yoichi hands the paint bucket to you as he watches you pour some on your pallet. You guys were supposed to go out tonight but you still had some props you needed to finish— so Yoichi offered to keep you company. “Uhm, are you sure you don’t need any help..?” He nervously asks. 

“Oh no I’m okay, thanks though,” you happily replied, you already felt bad for canceling date night and didn’t want to ‘burden’ him with helping you. “Oh okay,” he sits back down on the floor and continues to watch you. 

“…Did you wanna help?” You slowly asked. 

“I dunno,”

“Yoichi”

“Yeah..”

You softly sighed and handed him a brush. “Here, you can paint the moon,” You stood up and grabbed the unfinished moon set-prop. Yoichi nodded eagerly as he started painting. His strokes were in all directions— you’d have to go over them later but you didn’t mind too much. He looked so cute with his brow slightly furrowed when he concentrated on painting the edges.

“How’s this?” Yoichi asks, pointing to his moon with a little grin. “It’s perfection,” you praise, which he responds with a soft ‘thanks’ as he admires his work. <3

ITOSHI RIN

lmao he does NOT get it 😭💀

like you showed him a clip of your fav musical and he was like ??? Ppl ACTUALLY like that..?? (Ignore him he’s stupid)

but SUPER supportive of your performances!! he just lacks artistic appreciation, aaaand he has as much creativity as a wet sock, so yk

When he comes to your performances, he always brings a small but pretty bouquet (he’s beet red when he hands them to you >< )

You have desperately tried to get him into the arts— which just continued to confuse him🫠

He likes Shakespeare though??? which is probably like the only plays he will willing watch (aside for yours ehe:3)

You call him your Romeo ;) (he gets embarrassed and gets mad at you LMAO)

Lmao he should’ve never voiced his ‘like’ for Shakespeare bc when ever he asks you a simple question you’ll end up going “To be or not to be, that is the question” (que rin groaning)

“Rin, you need to put more emotion into it!!” You exasperatedly said, flinging your paper up. You had asked Rin to go over your lines with you, which was a stupid idea to begin with. He ticked his jaw, fingers firmly pressing into the paper.

“tch. This is stupid,” Rin answered, glaring at you. You sighed, “I can’t feel the scene if you sound like a robot!”Rin huffed, his pride clearly wounded. He groaned and flicked the paper back and examined it again.

“What. do. you. mean he’s. been. lying?” Rin reads, his voice flat. 

You internally sigh, “I’m not sure, but when I asked him he was acting strange..” you spoke, already memorized your lines. “Could. it have. something. to do .with his. sister?” “No- he wouldn’t tell her about something like that… Unless!!” You clapped your hands.

“YAAAY!! I FINALLY NAILED MY TIMING!!” You exclaimed, clapping your hands excitedly. You then tackled Rin, who was sitting on your bed, catching his lips in a fat smooch. “Thanks honey, I really appreciate you tryin,” you praise, hands resting on his shoulders. 

“Tch.. It’s nothing..” Rin muttered, his hand coming to rest on your waist. “I’m never doing this again,” you snickered at his mood change  (he’s gonna end up helping next time you ask <3)

help Ik that was so bad 💀

BACHIRA MEGURU

AJHSNJANANNRNE 

HE MATCHES UR FREAK!!!!

LIKE HE GETS IT FR!!!

omg you wanna binge watch Chicago, Six, and Heathers? WELL SO DOES BACHIRA!

yall sing musicals together all the time like- yall are in character doing the choreography and all

He loves watching musicals sm

And he LOVES watching you perform/work in theater

Gets super immersed in your performances- thinks it’s 10x better than any broadway show

Loves seeing your/the costumes- will definitely try to try them on (before he gets caught and gets in trouble lmao)

After every performance he takes you to go get ice cream- a little ritual you guys have :3

OH. And he tries to match his outfit to what your play is >< (keyword, tries)

He brings his mom to your plays and she whistles and claps so loud when the plays over 😭💗

“Y/N you were friggin’ awesome!!!” Bachira exclaimed, hands swinging yours back and forth. “I wasn’t even on stage for 5 minutes,” you snorted. “Well you were the best one there! Being a tree takes a lot of skill y’know!!” He grins, pulling you along faster. 

You finally arrived at the sacred land, Benny’s Ice Cream Parlor. Bachira ordered for both of you, handing you one cone of (Fav Flavor). You sat down on the bench, already licking your cone. Bachira put his foot on the bench, “Ahem, Ahem,” He began, lifting his ice cream up. “I would like to make a toast!,” You smile at his antics, waiting for what he’ll say next. “A toast to the best play in the history of the plays!” You snickered, raising your cone “A toast!” You said, ‘clinking’ your ice creams together. 

“Ah, being Tree #4 is no easy task…” You dramatically sighed, licking your ice cream. Bachira shook his head. “Tut tut..,” you both snickered, finishing your ice creams and heading back home. <3

Understanding Lennon McCartney Rewatch Part 2.3

Yoko, you're hilarious. Sirens going off in her brain. “Alert! They're into childhood bedroom crush confessions territory. Redirect! Redirect!”

But also I find them so ridiculous. All the men in this. Is it just a case of men always assuming women are talking more than they are? Because I am definitely not hearing Yoko talking for John here. Or is this a rare case?

Paul’s scouse getting progressively thicker as the argument intensifies. Trying to finish his point as John's interrupting him. “But. Bot! Boot!! I do think –”Ugh it's so sexy. Sorry, anyway. 

Paul's pep talk to John is super cute, but what does he mean, exactly? “we would actually all have dug to see you kick that telephone box in.”  What is this metaphor? What does he want John to break? Or does he just mean John should act out more?

Okay but in this interview, she's definitely doing 90% of the talking even when the interviewer specifically asks just John. So if that's how they are in meetings or whatever then okay I could see that being frustrating. 

Ow. Fuck. Hate that moment.

John: another Lennon/McCartney original entitled “All I Want is You”. Paul: Allan Wanna Too . . . Al Aronovitz. John: Al Aronovitz if you'll Aronovitz. We'll both Aronovitz together. Ugh sometimes you can just hear the voices in their heads being like “no don't tell him you like his song, that's pathetic! God, you're such a loser for even thinking it.” And sometimes . . . It's this. There's no in between. 

John knows if Paul's singing “Darling” he's talking to him. Look at his expression as he's watching Paul sing “stand by me Darling, Darling.”

“Dig it” is actually insane. Paul: if you want it, you can get it. You can get it if you can dig it up. John: I can hardly keep my hands still. John: if you want it all you gotta do is ask for it. Paul: (intermittent with John, starts a crescendo of “yeah. Yeah! Yeah! YEAH!” and “want it. Want it. Want it. Want it.”) John continues: Nicely. Say pretty please and you're gonna get it. You're gonna get it alright, you're gonna get it. This time you're gonna get it good!

The looks as they're making fun of something important to him. Poor George. 

See and here's the thing. If George knows basically what happened in India (which from this quote that's what I'm deducing) then Paul knows. You know?

Okay you know the “I love you, blue” moment from Get Back? I was feeling so devastated for John that there was no response to that and someone very smart pointed out in the tags that this moment could be interpreted as Paul's coded reply which I think is a lovely idea. And seems legit especially since John responds with song lyrics. 

Paul: no that's good, that one. John: okay, tick it. Paul: I Love that one. John: thank you. Paul: I really do. John: I enjoy it too sometimes. 

Peter Jackson why didn't you include these bits in your film? Huh? Huh? Was it because it was too homosexuality for you? 

John's voice singing “you can imitate anyone you know” over teeny clips of Paul doing about fifty different impressions. It's so phenomenal. 

John's “pleeeeeheeeease” actually makes me want to cry. He's begging with everything he's got. It's like he's a baby, really truly, and it physically hurts. If I was the one he was talking to in that song, I don't know if I could survive. 

But Paul is sure. They're stuck. He can't give John what he wants. 

Yoko tries to give John a kiss and he's so harsh. “Stop it!” If my boy ever talked to me like that . . . Let's just say I wouldn't be sitting with him at work anymore. 

And then he's laying with his head in her lap, laughing madly with Paul. See what I mean? If Paul would just let John lay in his lap, I guarantee Yoko would not be there.

A coded exchange PJ left out. You can tell when they start to talk in code just by their tone. Suddenly they're a bit more even-keeled, a bit slower, clearer in their speech. Paul: achieve something every day. It may in theory sound silly, but . . . John: in practice . . . Paul: it's even sillier. But in practice, it's all there is. John: this is where it's at. Paul: this is where it's at unless that is where it's at. John: this is where it's at now. Paul: teamwork. A good defense. John: you play ball with me and I'll play ball with you. Paul: could be learning something instead of this you know. 

There's a reason Let it Be is played at funerals, folks. 

Is it just me or has Paul literally never looked uglier? Linda's a babe, though. John and Yoko both look cool and hot ASF.

Again, the song choices. “Goodbye (Paul's Version. From the Vault.)” Played over the double wedding footage? Okay. Goodbye, my love. 

[cultofsappho]

In honor of AGCD 🤠, a list of my berserk findings in roughly chronological order RE: A RWRB Sequel:

1. When the movie come out, Casey did an AMA on Threads for both Alex, then Henry. In Henry's AMA, they posted this:

Meaning at the very least they'd be open to writing/sharing/creating more for Alex and Henry, if not a direct sequel [more from the AMA: X]

2. Casey also had an interview with Out Magazine in Nov '23 where they were asked if the want to write a sequel and they said "Of course I'd love to! 😉 I don't think i'm allowed to say anything more than that.😊" They're so fucking precious. We all know what 'not allowed to say' means. [twitter video: X]

3. Taylor has had a bunch of interviews recently, mostly as an ambassador to the SAG awards. He's been asked a dozen times about a RWRB sequel and everytime he says something along the lines of "Anything could happen! But I don't know, they don't tell me these things aha! 🤪 Give me a call!" And he's so unbelieveably obvious that his interview clips have already been compared to Andrew Garfield denying having any role in Spider-Man: No Way Home: [tiktok: X]

4. PrimeVideoUK has been bringing up RWRB & Firstprince more on social media recently. It could be for any number of reasons, it's their movie they can market however they feel like. Especially since Nick has a bunch of projects releasing rn (one of which, The Idea Of You is also releasing on Prime this summer), they may want to capitalize on the attention on him. Or, it could be to test RWRB's engagement #s... [tweet: X] [tweet: X] [twitter poll w/a rwrb sweep: X] [tiktok: X] And all the comments on these posts (and more) are begging for a sequel. So, if their social media manager is passing on the message... 👀

5. This is def a reach, so if you don't mind, i'm pulling out the red string for this conspiracy corkboard. But Casey was recently in London, it could have been a trip for literally anything. But, the first movie was filmed (and maybe produced idfk) in London. [insta post: X] they sold the movie rights for RWRB before the book was released, if I'm remembering that right, but maybe they retain rights to sign off on a sequel.

so anyway i was thinking about all those little things adding up in my head and thinking i was on to some kind of conspiracy then Nick goes and does press for Mary & George (which i just started, and is amazing btw) and says this shit:

6. Nick confirms in an interview with HitsRadio that they're talking about a RWRB sequel. Just flat out: "Yeah obv conversations are happening, duh! 😇" energy. God bless him. He says there have been conversations about a sequel. And, they're all on the same page that the script needs to be right and "all the components" need to be right. [X minute 15:50 they bring up the rwrb sequel, but the whole interview is great and you should watch it!]

ANYWAY i'm in a land of delusion, gnawing on the iron bars of my enclosure, etc, but also maybe not bc they're talking about a sequel and now we just need to wait for the greenlight

And (pseudo point #7), it would be a dumb business decision for Prime to not make a sequel. RWRB did way too well for an LGBT product, releasing during a dual actors and writer's strike, with little to no promo and zero press tour. From the RWRB Wikipedia page: "For the first three weeks after its release, it was the top watched film worldwide on the platform and provoked what Prime Video described as "a huge surge" of new subscribers." [X] And subscribers are all these streaming services care about.

I can't wait to reblog this with a screenshot when they inevitably post an offical confirmation for a sequel movie...

[sea-owl]

So I know I've said before that I headcanon that the Featheringtons Irish side comes from Portia. I also headcanon that she socially married up where Lord Featherington had the title and she had the money. Most likely being a rich merchant's daughter, so she's new to the aristocratic scene. She also had some sort of vibe to her that I could never place my finger on.

Then I was rewatching some clips and one that always stuck out to me was when Portia takes Marina to the bad side of town as kind of like a scare straight tactic saying hey here's what's going to happen if you don't do something about your situation. That scene kind of gave off the vibes that Portia has personal experience with it.

It wasn't until I was visiting my Mexican American grandmother and all her siblings that I realized why Portia kind of gave off familiar vibes to me. Portia, at least to me kinda gives off Catholic mom vibes.

If that was to be her background of an Irish Catholic woman or even a catholic woman in general who married up than I can see why she would constantly be in survival mode like she is on the show and her need to keep up appearances like another member of the ton.

Catholics had been persecuted in England, and that's not even getting into the mess of British and Irish political relations, for over a good 200 years by the time we hit the Regency era with some relief from James the 2nd who had a catholic wife but he was honestly an anomaly. And in 1689 parliament banned any future monarchs or their spouses from being catholic, which was reinforced in 1701 with the Act of Settlemant. George the 3rd, the king we see on the show, was known to actively reject catholic relief bills. It wasn't until the late 1700s that catholics could own land or inheirt land or join the army. And even longer, in 1791-93 when they could practice their religion without fear of persecution. Being to hold any political power wasn't a thing until The Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829.

Interreligious marriages weren't really looked favorable either but a catholic wife with a protestant husband was tolerated more but the kids had to be raised protestant. I could pot see a catholic wife being quiet about her religious background if it meant her survival.

But anyway back to what I was saying there is enough in the show that I could see this being a thing or something to have fun with as an idea. A Portia who is trying to survive so she marries out of her religion, marries up socially, and now she's doing everything in her power to keep make sure her position is secured. We could also apply this to Penelope with her writings and her jabs at the monarchy if this is her family history. I can see Portia also doing these kinds of warnings that she did to Marina on a smaller scale too throughout the girls' lives to make sure they stay on the path she's trying to lay out for them. After all it wasn't that long ago and society more than likely still sees catholics as second class citizens.

Now, do I expect anything like this from the show? No. It's a historical romance fantasy show, and I don't see them diving into something like this. Plus, Portia is meant to serve as a foil to Violet. It's a fun idea to play around with and could potentially explain some of Portia's actions. I do kinda hope we dive a little more in Penelope's family history as we watch her and Portia's dynamics shift and change.

Timeless (Lockwood x reader)

A/N: inspired by Timeless by Taylor Swift! A mix of angst and fluff, and the ending is a little awkward but I just haddd to end that way

She had had an exhausting couple of weeks - there was so much she didn’t understand about Lockwood, or what she felt about him or why. It was becoming more and more difficult to go on cases, even the simpler ones, because of how dangerous Lockwood made it for himself, no matter how cut-and-dry the case was. She’d feel this wave of nausea wash over her every time she saw him absent-mindedly step out of their salt circles or leave the iron chains in a corner.

It was that same nausea that was beginning to creep up on her now. They were about to go on a case and it had sickened her to hear George go on and on about the murderous ghost they would be meeting. Lately it had begun to feel as though a Lurker lived in the floorboards of the house, filling her stomach with leaden dread. Her nerves pushed her feet out of the house, screaming for an escape from the doubt that hung in the still air of the house.

She didn’t want to wander far; her friends would worry, but there was this cosy shop just a few doors down from Arif’s. It seemed completely unassuming, a little dull even, but there was something beckoning her from the shelves cluttered with antique vases and memorabilia of years past. It was a dusty little box with a smudged label, and there were photos inside them. Some blurry, some with a faint, barely-there tinge of colour, but there was one photo that made her breath catch in her throat.

There was a black-and-white photo of her and Lockwood sitting on a too-soft love seat on the porch of an old house. She blinked, and now it was just a normal photo of some random couple again, like the rest of them. But for a minute she was sure that, for some reason, it was Lockwood’s twinkle in that man’s eye and her smile lines around the woman’s lips. The longer she stared at it, the more differences she found: the man’s knees weren’t as knobbly as Lockwood and the woman’s feet were definitely smaller than hers, but this sense of warmth and familiarity grew. She had never seen this couple before, and she would probably never again, but at the same time she had this feeling that she knew everything about their lives, or the important part anyways. She could feel the warmth enveloped between their hands, the kind of warmth she got from Lockwood’s hands. The crease in the man’s eyes, the tilt of the woman’s head, the way their limbs slotted in place like two perfect puzzle pieces made for each other…it seemed so natural, so ordinary that she would have been inclined to reserve her awe, if it weren’t for the magnetic love radiating from the picture. The photo just barely captured the love the couple shared, like how there was precious little left in her life not consumed by Lockwood.

There was another photograph, much more formal, of a woman standing in a shirtwaist dress reminiscent of the 1940s, gazing into her lover’s eyes. The way they looked at each other, like they had the kind of love that needed no answers from unanswerable questions. It didn’t matter whether or not “The One” existed, or even if they’d live long enough to find out, but they had a quiet, resolute kind of love, and that was all they needed. It ached the way they made it look so simple, so natural, to love and to hold the way she never dared to, even in secret. They weren’t fearless, but they were brave enough to love now, while they still had time, and it was enough. She, on the other hand, was only brave enough to love from afar. She read every one of his newspaper clippings on the wall, like watching him grow up through a scrapbook, traced the words he wrote on their thinking cloth, and prayed to gods she didn’t believe in that he would somehow turn out alright. In a way, nothing had changed since then- the world was still so full of terror and the looming threat of decay; but for every heart that stops, another beats on.

She pulled herself out of the photos, looking around at the other antiques polished within an inch of their life, which held a sense of age that couldn’t be polished away. But it wasn’t weariness she felt as much as the contentment of a life lived well and lived fully. Her gaze shifted and she spied the shopkeeper - though, of course, he appeared as an apparition of a greying Lockwood, his weathered face alight with the same spirit today. And for once, she was able to feel something other than fear. Hope. Courage. The resolve to see him like that herself, but only decades down the road. Then, it will be their photos collecting dust in a flimsy cardboard box hidden away in the life they had the courage to build together.

A shadow glimmered against the frosted glass of the shop and the real Lockwood stepped into the shop with a soft jingle of the door, faintly smiling.

“I didn’t know you liked antiques?”

“I don’t, not particularly, but…something in my head said ‘stop’… so I walked in.”

“That one day we look back at where we started, and be amazed by how far we've come.”

Recently, I’ve been rewatching some of the old mcyt/dsmp clips. They bring me back to the good old days, when Technoblade was still here and there weren’t so many serious allegations surrounding the content creators, such as Dream and George. I remember watching their streams late at night due to time differences, either by myself or with my friends. Four years have passed since 2020, and Tommy is no longer a child. However, it feels like not too long ago. Time really flies, doesn’t it?

When I was younger, I used to wonder what would happen if they all quit, or worse, gone like Techno. Who would I watch? And in the future, what new game would replace Minecraft? I was so afraid of the future and the unknown, to leave a part of my childhood behind. But now that I’ve done so… it doesn’t seem that hard.

I sort of left the fandom after Technoblade had sadly passed away, so I haven’t been paying attention to current events, or whatever you call them. But one day, a video about Wilbur Soot was recommended to me. The thumbnail and title was interesting, to say the least, and I watched it without knowing the context. It was about how he had been abusing his girlfriend before their breakup. I was shocked and a bit disgusted. Wilbur was a part of the SBI, which had been my favourite group of content creators, along with Tubbo and Ranboo. No one had expected him to turn out this. That’s all I have to say about this, I guess…

Anyways, apologies for such a long rant. It started out as me randomly reminiscing about Minecraft during the Nether update and how I used to have time to do the things I love. I wish you all a good day/night. Remember to get rest, relax and drink plenty of water!

top 5 movie scenes 👀

Hi!

In no particular order:

Ian and Toula share a moment between their wedding and the reception in My Big Fat Greek Wedding

This is probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. It is the moment where despite all the differences of background and life experiences you know that Ian and Toula will be alright and will grow and learn together moving forward through whatever life throws at them. You can't say the scene is sexual, you cannot say it isn't sexual; it's full of tenderness and comfort and serenity, and you get the sense that they love the whole of each other. Romance peaked here. Positively criminal that I had to upload the clip myself because apparently no one has done this on Youtube? THE BETRAYAL.

George Bailey gets hit by the pharmacist in It's a Wonderful Life

This movie is well known as a tearjerker for a reason, but as a person who first watched it as an adult, this (3:30 onwards) was the scene that made sob my heart out. And it is very rare for a movie to make me cry like that. There's something about kid!George's goodness and the pain he's going through that just... wrecked me.

Burial at sea in Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World.

Master and Commander, no matter how much praise you get you'll never be overrated, and one could pick so many brilliant scenes from this movie, but this one in particular... it's something very difficult to describe about the way it shows this metaphor of the "slight veil" that both separates and unites life and death, the strength of the bonds created by life in a warship, and the ways in which grief and hope can reach us all across ranks. And it's also just an intensely beautiful and touching scene.

Anton Ego is chest-kicked in memory back to his childhood by Remy's ratatouille in Ratatouille

It's such an effective little moment, and it is seared in my brain as the first vivid experience in my mind of the power of cinema to provoke emotion, only reached in animation (for me) by the transformation scene in The Princess and the Frog, Eugene and Rapunzel's sacrifice scene in Tangled, and Mirabel and Alma's reconciliation in Encanto.

Jo has a an experience of grief and healing and writes Little Women in Little Women (1994)

It is no secret how much I love this movie XD but this moment in particular can be so personal. Jo goes up to put away Beth's last belongings, as a burial of sorts, in the deepest point of her grief for her sister and the dark realization that they will never be all together again in this world. But then, there in the garret where memories are stored in the objects that witnessed them, it's not death but life that she finds in the recollection of the love that made their lives growing up and made them them (it's not just that she writes, but that we hear with her the voices coming alive). And she writes to recordare, to pass all those things through her heart again, and as the season changes outside, so it changes inside as her mourning lessens (she's gone from black to light grey), and when she finishes her story and ties it up with a bow, she puts a flower, the same flower prof. Bhaer gave her, on it: she can now look forward to whatever the future brings her.

It captures the same feeling of Josh Groban's Awake to me, specially those last verses that go "and I will remember/oh, I will remember/all the love we shared today.". The 2017 adaptation also does something very similar, when a writer's blocked and grief stricken Jo goes to her father for advice, and he tells her to "sift down through your heart, through all the pain, and grief. There are words there. There's a woman there, and it is you. . say you were happy once. Say there was a laughter. Say it that is true." but we are talking movies today!

Anyways. Deeply meaningful scene to me about love and loss and what they make of us.

Ask me my top5/top10 anything!

I'd love a George Harrison x fem!Reader one-shot where he plays her a song he's working on, but he isn't sure it's any good. She tells him to keep working on it because he's too talented to just give up, especially when she thinks it sounds great. The song turns out to be "My Sweet Lord." Thank you so much in advance!

My Kinda Lover

1970 George Harrison x Reader

•Warnings: Nothing really but fluff. •Summary: One early morning you’re let into your boyfriends studio to listen to a new song he’s been making and here’s what you have to say.. •Characters:4,601 •Additional Information: I’m sorry if this is not quite good, I made this at 11 pm and I’m very tired. Anyway, thanks for letting this be my first Beatles fanfic!

It was barely 7 am, you were in the kitchen making breakfast for the two of you, while george was in his makeshift studio working on a new album. 

You started getting the table ready, placing down a couple of fried eggs on George’s plate, a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee in the middle of the small table with glasses near it, and you yourself would be having a egg sandwich that morning. 

Once everything was ready you called for george to come down for breakfast. 

While you were just getting yourself comfortable in your seat, george walked into the dinning room. “Morning, darling.” He said with a smile on his face, as he walked over to you, leaning over and giving your cheek a small kiss. “Morning sweetheart, I made your favorite.” He sat down in his chair, grabbing the coffee press to pour himself a cup of coffee. “I see, thank you very much, but before I start eating can I ask you of something?” You grabbed your sandwich, about to bite into it before stopping yourself to answer, “Ask away, dear.” George looked up at you, “Could you stop by the studio when you’re done with breakfast? I have a song I’ve been working on and I think I need your opinion on it, I’m just not quite sure if should keep it or leave it.” You agreed that you would stop by and help, honestly you loved when he asked you to listen to his music because that gave you a chance to actually see and hear the magic happen in front of you. Plus you knew it made him happy knowing that you enjoyed his music, so it was basically a win win. 

After breakfast and cleaning up after you two, you headed to George’s studio in the house, you just couldn’t wait for him to blow your socks right off. 

You knocked on the door, giving it a couple of seconds before hearing George saying you could come in. You’d turn the door knob and push the door open, the first thing you saw was George sitting down in a chair with his guitar on his lap, and a music stand with a piece of paper clipped to it in front of him. “Make yourself comfortable, I promise this will be quick.” You walked in, and sat down beside him. “Play whenever you’re ready.” You gave him a small smile, watching him let out a small sigh, before beginning to play ‘My Sweet Lord’, looking down here and there but mostly keeping his gaze on the piece of paper in front of him, as he laid out the new song just for you to hear. 

The more he played, the more it felt as if the atmosphere in the room changed, in the background you’d hear the backing tracks of all sorts of other instruments that held up the main guitar chorus and pretty soon George’s voice. “My sweet lord..mm-my lord.” You sat there in awe, you couldn’t help but just pat your thigh and tap your feet on the ground, as you listened to the song. You say this a lot to him but his singing seriously was the most angelic thing you’ve ever heard compared to everyone else’s.

Not long the song was over, George looked over to you, seeing your eyes sparkle, and your face adorned with large smile. He just couldn’t help with laugh, “So..is there anything you wanna say about any part of the song that might’ve made you think there was something not quiet right with it or I should put a certain part in a new key?” You sat there for a moment, you thought it was good the way it was as of now, but knowing that George was a perfectionist and would never give up no matter what, even if it was the smallest thing in the world he’d still go over it twenty more times making sure it was just right before sending it off, you made sure to pick your words wisely. “I wish to say it’s good as it is as of now, but I know you well enough and I want you to keep working on it. I know along the way you’ll come up with a new little thing or two you’ll want to add to the song, so please just take your time until you think it’s good enough to be the final product. But for now that’s all I have to say really.” For the rest of the day George really stuck to that comment, thinking about you saying it over and over again. He sat in that studio looking over the lyrics, changing and re-adding things. Here and there he’d give himself a break, go outside give himself a moment to bask in everything before heading back inside with a head full of wonders and new creative ideas. 

After all the mixing, recording, playing, a week later he’d do the same thing, ask you to go to the studio to play you what he called the finish product with a name finally, which happened to be ‘My Sweet Lord’, but this time when you heard it you called it a master piece ready to be welcomed into the world with open arms. 

[terrence-silver]

Started rewatching Karate Kid III, but got distracted and started watching an old western with Lon Chaney(Jr.), thought of the original Phantom of the Opera🖤, promptly went down the rabbit hole of filmography for Chaney Sr., and I realized so, SO many movies from 1910-1920 are just lost?? It broke my heart a bit, even though they were most likely very short silent films.

But! I learned that the wealthy would sometimes buy the film reel (if not the only film reel of a film.. ever) and add it to their own ✨️private collection✨️. Anyways, can you imagine how romantic of a date that would be with Terry? Watching some old, old movies, that have probably been exclusive to his family alone for years. Getting to indulge in champagne and sweets, cuddled up to 6 foot 5 man, as some poor sap has to crank the ole projector. Maybe manipulating beloved to feel exclusive in his life, or.. maybe he's sincere in trying to make beloved feel special🤭

---

I always felt a date with Terry Silver in any era would have this...slightly surreal quality.

Because, yeah, consider it; he owns so many antiques. So many rare weapons. So many vintage wines. So many cars. So many things you can only ever acquire if you're in possession of an exuberant amount of money and some questionable connections, like in the case of his old Rembrandt that was thought lost for ages or the fact that he lived in a mansion resembling a Mayan Temple (that is thought to be haunted according to urban legend), that it is a bit like entering a world of it's own entirely, or hey, to keep with the topic of this ask, even the movies this man watches, they aren't movies anyone else watches or can watch. Why? Because they're forgotten films only a sinfully rich collector like himself could get their hands on from all sorts of unlikely sources, meaning that you're literally seeing something...you've never seen before. And he might even highlight that, entirely proud of himself.

-"Now,"- He begins, slapping his hands together in contentment followed by a smile as a silent assistant handling the delicate material with gloved hands inside of his home theatre cranks that projector and the reel lights up the hall, flickering. -"I'll bet you've never seen anything like this."-

And you've indeed never seen any of the lost French documentaries of Georges Méliès between 1895-96, Japanese movies thought to have disappeared during WWII, any of the flicks on the BFI 75 Most Wanted list, Andy Worhol's first ever film, Theda Bara's Cleopatra, the complete works of Valeska Suratt, flicks Terry swears were discovered in a salt mine somewhere, the first ever 'talkies', prints thought destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire, London After Midnight, The First Men in The Moon from 1919 or goodness gracious, even some exceptionally rare erotica scraped up from the bottom of some forgotten archive somewhere because nobody else has seen any of them either in over a century. You're sipping a wine older than you are, you've just got the exclusive tour of his collection of centuries old weapons and now you're watching a movie human eyes haven't seen in over a hundred years. It is an intense experience. In fact, it's an experience that resembles a dream that is pretty difficult to explain even to your own self, which is not to say the experience would be bad, it would simply be...downright phantasmagorical. It might immediately hit you that Terry Silver is quite literally like no man you've ever met before, because no man you've ever met before has done any of this.

Or hey, since you've mentioned it, a movie exclusive to his family alone?

Why the heck not!

What if he's in possession of some short film reels or photographic clips he took in Vietnam? Hey, not all that unbelievable. Maybe you see some of familiar faces immortalized, like a young Kreese, some scrawny, curly haired kid mingling around or hey, who's that guy with the ponytail!? Goodness, is that a young Terry? If we want to go full-on creepy, he might just hum and confirm, saying yes, because who else could it possibly be? What if he owns some rather unsavory military movies he recorded; images of the dead kept like trophies. Interrogations. Torture. These things can go as far as imagination allows, or a brighter note, what if, say, his mother was an actress --- not a famous one, but someone who pumped out like one or two smaller projects in, for example, the 30's Silent era Hollywood before she got married and had him and those copies stayed in his family ever since because his father was staunch and very meticulous on who owns moving pictures containing his wife. Bought all the copies off of George Cukor for a smaller fortune back in the days, at the height of the Great Depression, no less.

-"Who is that?"- You may ask, cuddled up to him, struck with an odd familiarity following the woman on the screen. You shiver for reasons you cannot quite explain other than the fact that watching something so old can naturally give someone the occasionally eerie sensation. She vaguely reminds you of someone. -"My mother."- He could answer.

Whatever the case, whatever the scenario one deems most likely of these, or any others totally unrelated one might come up with, one thing is perfectly clear and that's that said movie evening isn't something that is easily forgotten, if ever.

Sword gays showdown, poll for the third place of bracket two

Propaganda:

For Haruka/Sailor Uranus:

She wields the space sword, one three talismans. She's also in a canon sapphic relationship with fellow sailor soldier sailor neptune and later is raising a child with her and another sailor, sailor pluto. Their daughter calls her papa because she's also a genderqueer icon. 

For Hikaru Sulu:

1) Okay, first off: Which version am I submitting? Prime timeline (TOS) or Kelvin timeline (AOS, also known as the reboot movies if you're not in the fandom)? The answer is both. Prime Sulu has the more iconic fencing scenes (and is also said to have other sword related abilities) while Kelvin Sulu is canonically gay. Specifically as a tribute to George Takei btw who played prime Sulu in TOS and is famously gay and an LGBT+ rights activist among other causes. The picture provided is prime Sulu but if you've only watched AOS, feel free to vote for him anyway.

I'm not gonna link any videos here since that would probably exceed the scope of the propaganda section but clips should be pretty easy to find. And if you can't, just trust me: The TOS fencing scenes are amazing. The AOS one is probably fine too but it's been ages since I've watched it and I forgot it even existed so it can't have been THAT memorable.

Fun fact: George Takei initially didn't know how to fence and didn't find out he'd have to until pretty late and started taking fencing lessons only three weeks before the filming of that episode (The Naked Time) and apparently "became so out-of-control and boisterous that he had to be separated from the rest of the production personnel, for their own safety" which, in context of what the episode is about, is just absolutely amazing. Truly iconic.

Anyway, considering Star Trek is an important part of queer history (I'm only half joking) you need to vote for Sulu, we all know George Takei is an icon, make the right choice here.

2) When they got hit with the drunk virus he took his shirt off and started challenging people to duels. Iconic 

3) This bitch got the outer space disease that makes you silly, and revealed they were gung ho for fencing, and brought out their sabre to just. Swashbuckle. Goes "/oh my/," and is clearly gay and played by a gay actor

[bagelrites]

Hello dear Amie bagelrites I have a question. Would you say the skephalo dynamic changed after they met in person? did the gay pining get better or worse or did it stay the same? Also do you think they will ever get their shit together or are they doomed to simply be boy best friends forever. I would love your opinion if u want to give it ^_^ 📋🖊

oh boy oh boy!!! it did for sure change, but it's part of a larger pattern of change. Prior to meet-up they went through a period where there was clear and uncomfortable tension, and a bit of emotional distance between them, which culminated in Skeppy posting the "Best Friend" music video. They must have had some kind of talk which including agreeing in much more solid terms that they were going to meet up after that, and things seemed to smooth over. Skeppy acts jealous when Bad meets up with q first, but it's clearly playful and very um... it feels like how dream said he doesn't mind George meeting other people first because when he meets George it's gonna be forever? A bit like that? Except the forever part is perhaps delusional on Skeppy's end... See, because when they first meet up, Skeppy is happier than we've ever seen him. That night, he joins q on a twitter space and says, giggling the most love-sick giggles I have ever heard, that he thinks Bad is going to move in, and he's just "giving him a vibe."

Anyways. Their online closeness seems to translate very, very well to in-person closeness. If you want to see the extent of that, watch some clips from Hannah's valentine cookie stream and the stream Bad did where Skeppy was sleeping in the background (and where they open a fan package that has a skephalo flag in it. and hold it up to the camera and seem very happy about it.) Something shifts after this in that their on-camera bickering seems far less like actual annoyance and much more like a practiced bit they love to do (which, to be fair, it always was, but man... it just hit different right after meet-up). The second meet up is much the same, they seem really obsessed with each other and sweet to each other (Skeppy eating the hot chip on the munchy crew hot wings stream because he "needs to suffer with bad" for example). They even seem to have gone on a date (???) at this time.

But now they haven't met up in a while, and the last time they did, things were slightly weird? Like mostly still acting cute and obsessed as per usual (Bad singing Skeppy's name as he walked around the hotel and getting that plushie from the claw machine that reminded him of Skeppy, for example) but Skeppy seemed a little... off? In Bad's stream from the vidcon hotel room? Like, he does not seem happy at all about Bad continually suggesting that they log onto q smp and talk to his egg. And now... idk. They've had some pretty typical skephalo crazy-isms on twitter, but Skeppy isn't posting that many videos, and it's hard to tell what's going on behind the scenes right now because we just can't see it.

Honestly? They could be fine. They could be talking a lot off camera because they realize their off-camera relationship is important, too, or they could be getting weird and distant again. We just don't know. I am firmly in the camp of delusional skephalo believers, though, and I do think it's completely possible that they'll get together and actually have a stable, functioning relationship someday. I just think it's gonna take a while, as do all things with them. But, hey! They met up after like 3 years and most of us had given up on that! Maybe they just need 3 more years to move in together, you know?

[prisonpodcast]

I think the fact that Caiti agreed George's story was more accurate is what upsets me. His story doesn't paint a story of SA and that she originally agreed to it and is now adding new details makes me question it. I also can't help but see how all my friends who experienced SA feel used and hurt by the way she went about it. I hope she gets help but it's hard.

gituation discussion under the cut

I get this but if we know she didn't watch george's second statement, she probably didn't watch his first one either. I think she may have heard second hand (from a friend, twitter, etc) that he admitted to touching her, but because she didn't see the clip, she didn't know he never actually explicitly mentioned touching her breasts (and had only described waist touching and his hand moving upward) hence why she never made the clarification in her document. And since she was extremely vague with her wording in her first stream, most of us didn't realize there was breast touching either. She never agreed that it was "only waist touching thing" because she never described the touching in detail (aside from saying it was under her shirt and sexual) until her recent stream.

I think both george and caiti's previous statements alluded to breast touching looking back. george even said he didn't want to discuss it further out of respect for her privacy which to me implies it went farther than just a hand on her waist moving upwards. I don't think its fair of anyone to accuse her of lying about something as serious as this when it does line up with what was said in previous statements, it's just not a fair judgement to make.

I understand being upset at her vague wording and lack of specifics in the beginning, but him touching her breasts (in my opinion) without explicit consent is a LOT more severe to me than just a hand on the waist. And I think this new bit of information serves as a much better explanation for her reaction, intense emotions and the way she went about it and really puts everything into perspective for me. I still think making this public wasn't a good decision for reasons I've already went on about, and I wish she had been more specific about what happened in her original statement but I don't think she's trying to "change her story" or add new details. I think she may have genuinely thought that her vague comments in her original stream were enough to get the point across that he touched her chest, but it wasnt and it caused this miscommunication between her and the viewers.

I just feel sorry for her because a lot of people (myself included) were forming our opinions on this based on it being just waist touching, and ofc thats not sexual assault and so a lot of people (ex: commentary youtubers) were being quite harsh on her for misusing such heavy language over non sexual touching. But looking back I dont think she ever meant for us to think it was just waist touching. There was just miscommunication between her and the audience due to her vague language and george never explicitly mentioning it in his streams.

anyways my tldr is that i just think its really unfair to accuse her of being untruthful about the breast touching, especially considering the language used by both parties in previous statements. I'm not gonna tell you how to feel about it because thats up to your own judgement, and I'll be honest I dont even know how I feel about it, but I do think it's far more likely than not that it did happen and I wish we didnt just immediately jump to deny this or accuse her of lying. Just as we shouldn’t blindly believe and trust that every accusation is true, we also shouldn’t make the automatic assumption that someone is lying especially when there is reason to believe they are telling the truth.
