AAAAHHHH request exception anon here ;) it was more of an idea for a joseph one 😖 but i can give u an eddie one too lets make it a deal ;) for joseph i'd love to see him and film director y/n being all cute and proud of eachother and bonding over their love for film from different perspectives (his being in front of the camera and hers being behind!) maybe even at an awards show or smth idk AAAAND for eddie just smth super cute like the first time he says i love you to the reader without even thinking about it while they're doing smth mundane and reader says it back without thinkinh either and then theyre both like ..HOLD ON WE JUST SAID IT??????

choosing eddie bc i love him so much (sorry it took a while to post!)

inspired by this post from @roanniom

when you came to eddie's life, he found love in waking up early.

it was because he can watch you walk around the trailer, clad in a large band shirt and a pair of skimpy shorts, either freshly woken up with a grumpy look on your face and tousled hair, or walking around trying to figure out what to do while you make breakfast.

you were doing that right now.

moving freely, making as much noise as you wanted because wayne had spent the night with one of his co-workers after getting drunk on his friend's birthday. eddie sits on the chair in front of the small table, coffee in hand, his notebook of dnd campaigns laying upon him as it awaits for his eloquence. his tongue darts out, figuring out what to come up first as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"shit!"

eddie's head darts to your direction. "baby, you alright?!"

"yeah," you spin and smile sheepishly at him. "just knocked over one of your uncle's mugs, 's all. sorry,"

"it's okay," he flashes you a toothy grin. "just be careful next time, sweetheart,"

you nod, but his eyes don't leave you just incase. you place two pieces of bread on the chopping board, a blunt knife in hand. he can't see what you're doing, with your back blocking the counter, and so he turns back to his notebook.

he hears small humming, the clinking of a bread knife against a plastic jar of peanut butter that you spread across the toasted bread. and when you're done, you carry two plates to the table.

and it's there when he sees it — you've cut the crusts off the bread. eddie even sees you plopping a small piece of it into your mouth mid chew. the confusion in him is reasonable, before it shifts off into incredulity to sheer nostalgia.

"i love you,"

"i love you, too,"

your hand stops above the bread, and eddie's breathing comes to a halt. you both slowly connect your eyes, his heart pounding loudly in his ears; like ozzy osbourne playing right in his eardrums.

"what?" you whisper. "why did you say that?"

"why did you say it back?"

"i asked first,"

"you cut off the crusts in my sandwich," he murmurs. "my mom used to do that,"

your face softens. you reach for his hand, see the way something like melancholy and longing glazing his eyes. eddie smiles sadly, lacing his fingers with yours. "i said it back because i love you,"

the laugh eddie lets out is wet, his thumb tracing the ridge of your knuckles before he brings it up to his lips for a gentle kiss of appreciation. thank you for cutting the crusts of my bread. i love you.

"can't believe i'm crying the first time we said that," with his hand still on yours, you reach up to wipe the lone tear off his eye. "it's so not metal,"

"oh, i think crying is very metal," you nod, eyes narrowing playfully. "now i wanna know if making you clean your room turns you on,"

"it so doesn't, baby. what is wrong with you?"

reblogs and feedback are appreciated <3

I asked a chef (my spouse) to critique Joseph Quinn's knife handling skills in this photo:

1) He's holding the knife with three fingers.

2) He's pushing on the tine, thus making the knife off balance.

3) He isn't supporting the blade with the thumb and forefinger on each side.

4) His palm has absolutely no grip strength in this pose.

5) He's not even touching that tomato.

6) He's not watching what he's doing

7) That's a boning knife. Nobody cuts vegetables with a boning knife because the blade is too flexible. It's meant to cut meat from bones and slide into joints.

8) His stance all but guarantees he's not going to get even cuts. Face your cutting board!

9) His feet aren't planted, making him off-balanced, thus his cuts are all going to be different.

10) His limp-wristed grip offers no control during any kind of cut.

11) The position of the knife suggests he's going to do a chop, but again, that's a boning knife, which doesn't have a big enough blade to chop

12) Square your shoulders. FFS!

In conclusion: This whole picture reeks of "let's have the front of house manager take a picture in the kitchen to show how much of a team we are."

Whitechapel series 3 press pack

Rupert Penry-Jones is Detective Inspector Joseph Chandler

When we last saw DI Chandler, he and the team had been doing battle on the streets of Whitechapel with delusional identical twins that believed they were the last living relatives of Ronnie and Reggie Kray.  Still based in Whitechapel’s police station, the team, bored of the petty crimes that fill up their days, are startled when they are called to a massacre at a tailors shop.  With a new format and three new stories to get his teeth into Rupert wasn’t fazed in the least by some of the gruesome prosthetics he had to face.

“The torso story is pretty gory,’ claims Rupert.  “We had prosthetic bodies made and torsos with legs, arms and heads chopped off and you see it all - I mean it’s pretty hard-core.  I don’t know how much of that footage they’re actually going to use in the final show, but when you first saw it, it was quite shocking,’ he laughs.

This series sees a slight gear change in Chandler by way of a tougher exterior.  “He has been investigating murders for three or four years so he has seen his fair share of gore by now.  I think he can cope with it a lot better, but still he doesn’t like it. He’s not immune to it but he can keep it under control.”

Having copy-catted Whitechapel’s most notorious murders, the Ripper and the Krays in previous serials, the format has changed to three, 2 x 1 hour stories but remain true to the gothic roots of the Ripper.

As Rupert explains, “The format has changed slightly this year because there are only a certain number of suitable copycat crimes you can write about,’ he admits.  “What Ben and Caroline [writers] have done is brought Buchan in to advise us by using history as a kind of a map to guide us through present day crimes. So we use the crimes of the past to help us solve the crimes of the present.”

It is Chandler who is responsible for bringing Buchan on board.  When a vast archive of case files are digitised and released for destruction, Chandler sees their value and rescues them.  An ecstatic Buchan is then recruited to help sort through and organise an archive at Whitechapel.

“Bringing Buchan in is a risk for both Chandler and Buchan but he soon becomes invaluable to the team with even Miles realising that he is doing his bit to help,” says Rupert.  “ Having said that, he’s kept down in the basement most of the time so you don’t really see him around and the other police don’t have to deal with him too much,” he laughs.  “Whenever we need information we go down to him, this sort of ‘Guru’ in the basement who has all the information at his fingertips. He’s become quite good, he’s like this sort of wise soothsayer underneath the police station.”

For Rupert what’s appealing about how the show has moved on is that it hasn’t lost that link with real historical crimes.

“What’s great about Whitechapel this year is how the crimes we’re solving are fictitious, but the crimes that we use to help us are real so the audience is still getting that wonderful authenticity when you’re still learning about the history of the Whitechapel area,” he explains. “This makes it a lot more fun and adds atmosphere to the show as well as learning something new and real as an actor.”

Whitechapel was filmed partly on a purpose built set in an old municipal building in Crouch End and partly out on the streets of Brick Lane and Whitechapel as well as other nearby East End locations.  As the stories and locations have developed, so too have the team who become more integrated and involved in the case solving.

“Everyone is more involved with the detecting side of things now, especially in the third story,’ adds Rupert.  “To begin with it was very much Chandler working things out with the help of Miles, who basically argued with everything that Chandler said.  However, now everyone works together and individuals have been given a bit more responsibility.  The job feels like it’s a group effort and people actually contribute to the solving of the crime rather than Llewellyn and Buchan giving us all the information we need and Chandler putting it together. It’s much more detailed now.”

As well as having new female detective DC Megan Riley, played by Hannah Walters join the team, audiences can also look forward to seeing a more personal side to Chandler, though not particularly romantic.

“The audience won’t see Chandler’s private life as such they will see a chink in his armour when he realises early on in the series that there is something missing in his life.  Chandler would like to have a family and someone to share his life with,” explains Rupert.  “He sees Miles and the life he has and Mansell and his wife and realises that it is maybe something he needs and he gives it a go.  Miles is pushing him to try and he does give it a go but we can safely say romance is not going well for Chandler.”

“What’s happened with Chandler in this series is that he is much more alert to women whereas before if a beautiful woman looked at him he wouldn’t even notice. Now, if somebody finds him attractive, he senses it right away.  He still does not know what to do about it or how to react to it but he’s aware.  And it’s given me a load of fun things to play with like moments where he wants to kiss a woman and can’t because he doesn’t know how to.”

Another romance that Chandler isn’t quite ready for is his ‘bromance’ with DC Kent.

“Kent looks up to Chandler and when Chandler focuses in on him that makes him happy. But I don’t think Kent is gay; it’s more like he has a sort of older brother crush going on and wants to be like Chandler,” he says.

Having been commissioned for a series, Whitechapel is clearly continuing to capture the imagination and attention of the audience.

“I think what keeps our audience there is the thrill,” says Rupert.  “It’s that thrill factor that they chase.  How much they can take and how scared they can get before they can’t handle it any more,” he adds.   “There is a certain thrill that goes into watching something that scares you and although Whitechapel is scary you kind of know it’s going to be ok in the end.”

“I think it is more edge of the seat this year and certainly there are sequences in it that are more reminiscent of a horror film than a detective show and that’s a good thing.  There should be that sense of tension there and I’ve always wanted to be in a horror film or a slasher movie.  The last story particularly reads more like a horror film which was fantastic.  It’s these sort of sequences where you’re wandering around houses and hearing all sorts of noises and being terrified which are so much fun to act.”

26 for Sia and Sam!!!

Making Dinner - Intimacy Prompt

For Siobhan Kelly (OC) and Sam Drake - Uncharted

"Cock-a-whaty?" He stared at her with a lopsided grin, his eyebrow raised as far as it could go. He rested against the kitchen counter, shoulders hunched to meet her eye level.

She tied the apron around her back and sighed heavily. "Cock-a-leekie." Looking over her shoulder she could see how absolutely pleased he was with his own joke. "It's a bloody soup, ya dirty feck."

"Now Sia, you can hardly blame a man when a word like that comes spilling out of a pretty woman's mouth." His cheeky grin only spreading wider on his lips.

"What, leek?" She smirked up at him, blue-green eyes dancing with mischief.

"Ha. So what exactly is in this soup?" He stood up tall, his back aching from forcing himself to stay so small.

"Exactly what it sounds like." She mumbled into the fridge as she grabbed the ingredients.

His eyes went wide, hands naturally drifting to cover himself. He was sure it couldn't really be what she meant, but she also ate blood sausage for breakfast and called it black pudding.

She turned to find him looking defensive. "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." She pinched at the bridge of her nose. "Cock as in cockerel, Samuel. It's feckin' chicken." She shook the bag of chicken thighs at him.

"Praise the lord." His hands returned to resting on the counter. "And leeks then, I assume."

"MENSA here we come." She slid him the cutting board and a knife. "You can handle the veg."

"Yes, boss." He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. Turning to wash his hands in the kitchen sink.

She grabbed the dutch oven and placed it on top of the stove with a heavy thud, clicking on the gas and lighting the flame. Frying the chicken thighs, the sounds of their sizzling flesh filled the kitchen.

"You know what I think always sets the mood?"

"What, love?" She asked, expecting some sort of quip from the fast talking Bostonian.

"Music." He headed into the living room and turned on the stereo. "Got any requests, chef?"

She didn't answer, the sound of the cooking chicken drowned him out.

"Guess it's up to me," he said to himself. Popping open a cd case he slid it into the stereo's cd drive. His head bobbing to the Cult as the opening chords of 'She Sells Sanctuary' began.

"Are ya helping me in here or not?" She called from the kitchen.

"Coming."

She gave him a quick glance as he came back into the kitchen, tucking her hair back behind her ear.

He stood beside her and chopped the leeks in bunches of thick rounds, though his eyes were barely focused on his work. Instead, he couldn't help but notice the soft sway of her hips and the little shuffle of her feet as she flipped the chicken in the pot, dancing along to the music while stuck at the stove.

One year, twelve whole months, to finally get them here. She'd been threatening to cook for him for months, tired of seeing him eat nothing but pub food. "You might not like it, I know most people like to make fun of British and Irish food. All meat and potatoes, no flavour…all that shite. But you can't survive on ale and sausages forever. How long since you've had a vegetable?" She'd looked up at him through her glasses, reflecting the light back at him. She always seemed to care about his well-being, more than anyone else. She tended to his wounds when he came stumbling back from an assignment and was the first to offer him a Tylenol when he was dealing with a hangover.

She was more than he deserved.

"What're you lookin' at?" She asked, giving him the side-eye.

He'd been staring at her a little too long. Wouldn't be the first time she'd caught him doing that and she was always happy to call him out on it.

"You."

"Why?"

Her hair had fallen into loose waves, slipping free of the bobby pins she used to tuck them back. Her glasses pushed up onto her forehead. He had memorised every freckle that was scattered across her skin.

"Why not?"

"Stupid eegit." A flush rose up her cheeks, not only from the heat of the pot she was stirring.

She grabbed the chopping board and dropped the cut leek tops into the pot, along with bacon, carrots and celery. Mixing it to brown them.

He leaned over her shoulder looking down into the pot. "God, that smells good."

She pressed her head back against his chest. "Bacon'll do that."

"Smells almost as good as you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed kisses to her cheek.

His stubble rubbed at her skin as he nuzzled in against her neck.

"Don't make me beat you off me with me wooden spoon," she chuckled.

"Message received, loud and clear." He reached into the pot and grabbed a slice of carrot popping it into his mouth. Licking his fingers with a smirk.

"You are so much trouble, Samuel Drake." She smacked the back of his hand with her spoon playfully.

"Guess the nuns should've been more strict with me."

"I'll be feckin' strict with ya." Plunking the spoon back in the pot, she grabbed him by the tee shirt and lifted up on to her very tip toes to kiss his chin.

He looked over the top of her head at the steam rising from the unwatched pot. "Be careful you don't burn your stock, Sia."

Looking up at him through her lashes, she grabbed the bottle of white wine on the counter pulling the cork out with her teeth and poured the liquor over top of the vegetables without taking her eyes off of him. "I've done this before, I'll have ya remember."

With a wink she turned back to the stove and started to scrape at the browned bottom of the pan. Adding the chicken back into the pot, stirring quickly and then pouring water on top. She placed the lid on top and lowered the heat. "And now we wait."

"How much time have we got?"

"Forty minutes."

"More than enough time for me to make all this worth your while."

She pressed her hand to her hip as she rested against the counter. "What kinda girl do you take me for?"

"One who's far too good for me." He smirked, the crow's feet that hugged his warm brown eyes crinkled.

She pressed her finger to his chest. "And don't ya forget it."

At Ateliers Perrault, a 250-year-old carpentry company in France's Loire Valley — one of the two chosen to restore the roof — you don't hear the whirring of electric saws. It's the chopping of axes that resounds as craftsmen transform oak trees into long, rectangular beams by hand.

Carpenter Joseph Canuel explains.

"We made cathedral roofs well before saws and sawmills existed, and this is how it worked," he says. "You got the wood in the nearby forest like we're doing. And sure, we could easily cut these logs into two boards, but keeping the wood fibers the whole length of the beam gives it more resistance."

This company devotes itself to France's historical buildings — some 48,000 of them — so its carpenters are used to working with traditional methods.

It is sad they’ll waste wood and skilled labor on a worthless building.

“To rebuild Notre Dame's fire-ravaged roof, carpenters use centuries-old techniques” writes Eleanor Beardsley

Edouard Cortes, one of Ateliers Perrault's carpenters, stands at his workstation. "I arrived here by one of those lucky meanders of life," Cortes says, referring to his participation in the restoration of the cathedral.  Cristina Baussan for NPR

"We're restoring a medieval cathedral...[but] Notre Dame will also be a cathedral for the 21st century."

Using whole oak trees and tools newly forged to mimic those of 900 years ago, artisanal carpenters in France shape wood into massive triangular trusses as replacements for those that burned in 2019.

“At Ateliers Perrault, a 250-year-old carpentry company in France's Loire Valley — one of the two chosen to restore the roof — you don't hear the whirring of electric saws. It's the chopping of axes that resounds as craftsmen transform oak trees into long, rectangular beams by hand.

Carpenter Joseph Canuel explains: ‘We made cathedral roofs well before saws and sawmills existed, and this is how it worked,’ he says. ‘You got the wood in the nearby forest like we're doing. And sure, we could easily cut these logs into two boards, but keeping the wood fibers the whole length of the beam gives it more resistance.’"

The cathedral's facade is engraved on the axes used by carpenters at the Ateliers Perrault in Saint-Laurent-de-la-Plaine, France. Sixty axes were hand-forged for the reconstruction of the cathedral.  Cristina Baussan for NPR

A “map” was made of the original structure in 2012, by a then-architectural student who, along with some fellows, spent a year under the roof taking measurements and doing scans.  Those details provide a way to reproduce all the trussing, called “the forest,” for the new roof.

“...reconstructing it exactly the same way is also a precaution. It worked very well for 800 years. So we know if we build it back the same way we won't risk damaging the cathedral by trying something new."

Valentin Pontarollo, 29, one of the lead carpenters on Notre Dame's reconstruction, works on the beams that will constitute the cathedral's new framework.  Cristina Baussan for NPR

[enginire]

name: melanie cavill nicknames/aliases: mel, mr wiIford. age: late 40s, early 50s (verse dependent). occupation: lead engineer of snowpiercer. voice of the train. (former) head of hospitality. mr wiIford's right-hand woman. education: mechanical engineering at MIT, then a masters in mechanical engineering at yale. languages spoken: english, cantonese, spanish, french. height: 5'5" appearance: slender, wiry. citizenship: second class. positive traits: methodical, meticulous, clever, observant. negative traits: conniving, manipulative, stubborn, secretive, withholding.

coming from a dirt farm in pennsylvania, mel went to MIT to study engineering. she designed the engine aboard snowpiercer.

her main role in season one is to preserve life and preserve order on board the snowpiercer. after seven years of being plunged into an arctic apocalypse, with temperatures outside never raising above -120 degrees celsius, snowpiercer was a new, survivalist hope for life in a hard world. the premise is simple: perpetual motion of the engine produces enough energy to sustain life for the last surviving humans on earth. the train runs around the track constantly, never stopping. if the train stops, there is approximately 10 to 12 minutes until all inhabitants will freeze to death.

she acts as the voice of the train, manning the PA system to inform passengers about the time, outside temperature, and any emergency broadcasts required.

joseph wiIford is a business tycoon. he makes luxury trains, and when rumours about global warming come to light leading to a nuclear winter, meI and wiIford begin building the eternal engine.

during the freeze, mel decided that, under wiIford's control, and his incessant indulgences (such as prioritising billionaires over scientists, murdering meI's handpicked selection of geneticists due to space and resource issues, and having a brothel, parties, alcohol, drugs, etc on the train) there would be no hope for survival. she makes the decision that, while wiIford is off the train, and while her own parents and 8 year old daughter are still not on the train, that they have to leave, in order to avoid his grasp. he is controlling, abusive, and generally nasty, but is overall heralded as the saviour of mankind. she makes this difficult decision to depart from chicago without him, and without alex, and her parents too.

she maintained that he was still alive, and working 21 hours every day in the engine to keep the train going. this accounts for his absence. she is the only one who can speak to him, although the other engineers, javi and bennett, are both aware that he doesn't exist any longer.

mr wiIford became a myth, more than anything, and something meI can use to control the train. she was able to cut pre-recorded speeches together and broadcast these when the passengers required morale boosts, and often pretended to be on the phone to him to prove his survival.

when a serial killer starts mutilating male passengers in third class by chopping off their limbs and their genitals, she brings out a "tailie", andre Iayton, who resides as a stowaway in the tail of the train, as he used to be a homicide detective prior to the freeze. in exchange for him uncovering the murderer, she offers Iayton third class citizenship, to which he replies that he wants rations for the tail and reproductive rights.

when the killer is finally uncovered as a first class passenger, IiIah foIger junior (LJ), the time Iayton has spent with meI has led him to one conclusion: wiIford is not on board the train. to contain the situation and stop this spreading, as it would cause disorder all down the train, meI drugged Iayton and put him into one of the drawers in second class, where criminals and experiments are suspended in sleep indefinitely using a medical derivative of kronole, an illicit drug.

josie, a fellow tailie, undertakes sanitation duties to get up the train and look for Iayton. with help from brakeman tiII, she discovers Iayton in one of the drawers, all while the tribunal for the killer is taking place. meI fakes correspondence from wiIford, excusing the killer, because Iayton has told the killer about the true identity of mr wiIford, who then tells meI that she knows her dirty little secret. the killer walks free, much to the outrage of third class.

Iayton is confused and aggressive following the reanimation process, and steals a security chip from josie to go find meI with the intentions of killing her, understanding that this may be the only opportunity he has because meI doesn't know he's awake.

at this point, the train is in grave danger of being derailed due to a hydraulic system malfunction, leading to train-wide instability. Iayton comes at her with a knife, where she explains that the drawers are a last ditch attempt to save humanity, and aren't yet functional for this purpose. she begs him to let her go so she can save the train, and when he does, she dons a snow suit and dangles out from the bottom of the train to reattach the hydraulic system to the undercarriage.

meI starts a search party for Iayton, paying a visit to his ex, zarah, in the nightcar. zarah has recently fallen pregnant, and meI threatens the life of her child, stating that reproduction is a privilege, not a right, and zarah tells her that josie helped Iayton escape the drawers and will know where he is.

meI confronts josie, arresting her and placing her in detainment. she tortures her with a hose that spews frozen air from the outside, freezing her little finger and smashing it with a hammer when she doesn't give up Iayton. meI excuses herself and vomits in the nearest bathroom. all while this is happening, first class have been made aware that wiIford doesn't exist, as LJ is released into her parents' custody back in first class. she tells them that meI is mr wiIford.

first class passengers want to overthrow meI, because she changed the rules of the tribunal to include a representative from third class, and the killer was found unanimously guilty on all counts. they believe that meI has too much power, and consider her a traitor after finding out that wiIford isn't on the train.

while meI is out of the room, brakeman tiII checks on josie and finds her tortured. josie asks her to freeze her entire hand, and tiII complies, deciding to side with the tail, abandoning her post as brakeman.

meI reenters the room and josie smashes the rest of her hand out from the cuffs, uses the hose to choke meI and the two fight until meI gets the upper hand, yanking the hose out from the pipe in the wall, and leaving the room with it. this forces the room to become immensely cold within seconds, and josie is put out for compost due to frostbite.

meI is confronted by the first class passengers for being a traitor to wiIford, and while this is happening, the tailies, led by Iayton, begin a civil war along with third class, against first and second class. Iayton wants a democracy and, along with help from most of the brakemen, they launch a battle that comes to a head in the night car. both sides suffer monumental losses.

meI is detained for her deception, branded a murderer, and a traitor, and is set to be executed by the 'lung of ice' method. a mask is applied to the face, and a hose connecting an outside air source is pumped into it. the lungs freeze and the detainee dies of frostbitten lung. she is hooked up to the mask, and just before it starts, the jackboot soldier administering it is revealed to be javi, who helps her, along with bennett, and jinju, securing an escape route into the vents of the train.

meI reemerges in the tail of the train in an effort to talk to Iayton. she explains that they know in first class, and if the first class gain control of the train, they will run it into the ground. they agree that their biggest opposing forces are the jackboots and members of the first class, so meI suggests uncoupling the train at a fork in the track from the engine room, where javi and miles are, and from the manual uncoupler at the front of the carriage where she has security access. then, by slowing down the engine, the end of the train can be reattached manually using the same technique. the first class passengers, along with the jackboots, will lose power and have no resources, and will freeze to death.

Iayton agrees to the plan, and offers a surrender in order to get the jackboots and the firsties in one carriage together. meI uncouples the carriage from her end, giving Iayton 3 minutes to uncouple it from his end. this puts Iayton in a particularly difficult position as he realises there are tailies being kept captive (which meI knew about) in that carriage. running out of time, he uncouples the train at the last second. meI tells him that to be a leader, you have to make difficult decisions, and this is an example of one of them.

meI relinquishes power over snowpiercer, stepping down as head of hospitality and focuses her work on being an engineer. ben hears music from outside, and they slow down to see that it is the prototype train, big alice, which acts as a supply train. it can only mean one thing: wiIford is alive and wants his train back.

meI works desperately to speed the train up so they can outrun big alice and remain out of wiIford's control, but ben wants to couple the trains because, due to the recent civil war, snowpiercer needs all the resources they can get. meI dons her snow suit and climbs on the roof of the train, attempting to uncouple the two trains when wiIford catches up to them and couples them. he then slams on the brakes, causing her to fall off the train, and big alice acts as an anchor to bring snowpiercer to a complete stop. they have approximately 10 minutes until they freeze to death. wiIford sends a representative out with a shopping list of demands (eggs, hens, books, morphine) to see how many resources snowpiercer has.

meI, experiencing frostbite as a result in a breach of her suit, thinks she is hallucinating that it's snowing, which shouldn't be possible in -120 degrees. she eventually comes to long enough to get onto the train, but she boards big alice instead of snowpiercer.

the trains begin moving again together.

An incomplete and irreverent summary of The Old Testament.

God: …

God: boring

God: let’s make something.

God: oh yeah, that’s good.

God: how about something that is a little bit like me.

God: oh shit it’s talking to me

God: oh okay cool, yeah, you can have a friend. I get it man, I wanted a friend too.

God: huh. So I guess we weren’t friends after all. Cool cool cool, get out of my place then.

God: shit, they’re making a mess. I should just wash the board and start over. Shame to waste all that work though. Maybe I could pick out the best and keep that?

God: okay, much better. Now let’s see how they do.

God: wait, whoa, y’all are trying to come up here? No no no, boundaries people, please. There, now you can’t talk to each other.

God: aaannnd now they’re fighting again. I need some representation down there. Let’s see…this guy, he’ll do.

God: Abe, calm down, I said I’d give you a kid and I meant it. You really have to get over this whole “time” concept, it’s too weird, man.

God: there you go, big family, just like you wanted. Should’ve known that player Jacob would take care of that. Now can we talk about—

God: oh, man, if things keep going like this there’s not going to be enough food for all of you in a few years. Okay, let’s get one of you down into a big place like Egypt.

God: not the method I would have chosen, boys, but I can work with this.

God: Great! They’re all in Egypt safe and sound and Joseph’s a big shot. They should be okay there for a while.

Spiderhead (2022) Review

No spiders were harmed during the production of this film. Should also note there isn’t even a single spider in the movie. A few heads though. For more useful facts, don’t come to me.

Plot: Two inmates form a connection while grappling with their pasts in a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by a brilliant visionary who experiments on his subjects with mind-altering drugs.

From a basic standpoint, Spiderhead feels like an elongated version of a Black Mirror episode. The principal of setting in a near-future dystopia and utilising a science fiction technology, in some ways being a form of speculative fiction of the horrors that await us and how the use of technology will in turn control us. However with mirroring (pardon the pun) Black Mirror, Spiderhead also suffers from a concept that from the get go is quite interesting, but isn’t something that is worth a feature length look at. For the movie does end up dragging in a few parts and you do feel the time. However the movie also suffers from a fairly weak script, as the central concept itself feels like it’s surface is scratched the bare minimum. There could have been some really interesting philosophical, moral and ethical ideas explored, but the movie very much decides to go the easy way of having a cliché good guy vs bad guy stand off conclusion that very much emphasised that this is after all only a Netflix movie. I think also the choice of having director Joseph Kosinski on board was a questionable one, as the guy does have talent in filming big spectacle visual vistas like he did in Oblivion and most recently Top Gun: Maverick with those spectacular aerial sequences. However with Spiderhead for the most part being set in the confines of the plain indoor rooms of the prison facility, the only time Kosinski gets to show off his knack is by endlessly rinsing out aerial sweeping shots of the facility from different angles and being like “oh look, there’s Hemsworth’s stunt double flying a little plane, look at him go!”. 

Speaking of Hemsworth, you can tell the movie mainly relies upon his and Miles Teller’s acting chops. Teller is perfectly apt at delivering those dramatic lines with the necessary sadness behind his eyes, and Chris Hemsworth is evidently enjoying playing a charismatically crazy mad scientist who naturally gets to do a cheesy evil villain dance, but then again, Hemsworth was a much more memorable and menacing villainous presence in Bad Times at the El Royale. Speaking of which, have you guys seen Bad Times at the El Royale? Now there’s an underrated flick. Very Tarantino-esque, if that’s your cuppa. But I digress. Spiderhead - it’s an okay film. Not great, but neither terrible. Features a good concept with strong potential that unfortunately isn’t used, and therefore we have a fairly throwaway Netflix film that has its moments, got a very game cast and a surprisingly top notch soundtrack. Feels like the producers spent most of the film’s budget creating their favourite Spotify playlist. Who can blame them though.

Overall score: 5/10

hi augustine!! how are you?

i just read joseph's interview with esquire singapore where he said he's a decent cook. would you be able to write a blurb or one shot about coming home from a tiring day to see that joseph has made a meal for you please? i feel like he would be sooo eager and cute about it!

thank you so much, and absolutely no worries if not! have a wonderful day/night <3

kait!!! thank you so much for requesting ily!!! (thinking of @mysticmunson's pesto that she sent me so i put it in here)

from work's dereliction, your feet ache from walking around all day. you hope the somewhat slam of the door don't give out the fact that you're tired.

the baritone dulcet humming shoos your exhaustion away into a corner; and delectable aroma fills your sniffing your nose. you toe your shoes off and place it aside, right next to his. your socked feet are futile at its attempt to protect your soles from the cold floor but you could care less.

you prance tiredly toward the kitchen. the light bass of the bluetooth speaker sits dangerously at the edge of the kitchen island. somehow, there are three different kinds of chopping boards and two knives scattered across that island, an empty bowl with specks of what seems like cheese but you don't know which.

regardless of that mess, the sight of him humming and swaying with an apron around his waist is a voluptuary vision of utter domesticity that whispers savage remarks to all the problems that haunt you.

you take your coat off and fold it somewhere. his arm moves in a struggled spiral as he mixes whatever's in the stygian wok.

you decide to surprise him. you tiptoe your way towards joseph, who hums lowly, and when you slowly wrap your hands around his torso, maybe you should have expected that he'd be startled.

"fucking hell!" the tongs clatter on the pan loudly. you squeal, hands shooting to cover your mouth. he puts his hand over his heart and heaves from the frighten. he's less than amused when you start giggling.

"oh, yeah, it's so funny giving your boyfriend a heart attack," he seethes blithely at you. "yeah, yeah. so funny. i might have slammed you in this head, y'know," joseph holds the tongs up, waving it in the air. "'s not funny, love."

"i know, i'm sorry," you hide your smile. suddenly he misses it and he pulls down at your hand and tucks it with his, turning the stove off with one hand before he turns to you. "hi,"

"hello," he murmurs, an ophidian curl draped across his forehead, damp slightly with sweat. "i made you something,"

"yeah?" you wrap your arms around his torso again, pressing your cheek on his chest. joseph turns you around 'till you're both facing the stove. "is that pesto?"

"yep. made by yours truly; not reheated." he smiles brightly into your hair, picking up a fork somewhere and jabbing it on the pale verdant pasta, sprinkled with parmesan and chicken. joseph twists the fork, your arms wrapped tightly around it still, and he brings it close to your mouth.

you take it inside, pesto on your tongue that navigates around your taste buds. the savory dish inside your mouth swims, its delicacy melts all your cramps away; the basil and cheese elucidates your cravings, and he smiles at your hum of contentment.

"is it good?"

"it's amazing," you sigh deeply, closing your eyes, head falling on his chest. "christ, what'd you put in this? jesus' sperm or what?"

joseph stabs the fork on the pan and wipes your mouth with the corner of his apron. "my sperm. kidding. god that was gross. i made it from scratch."

"this is amazing," you say again, reaching out to shove some of it more into your mouth. "fuck. so good."

"you don't sound this blissed out when we have sex," he jokes. "okay i'm gonna stop now,"

it's a futile attempt to hide his pride; he's glad to have satisfied you. being able to please your palate was something he's never felt more successful doing than he has been with his career in his entire life

another satisfied hum makes his heart race. "that good baby, huh?"

"super," you nibble on the tops of the fork. "can we eat more?"

joseph nods, kissing your forehead. "yeah, we can eat more."
