Let’s just assume every post I make with this fucking freak is an act of coping.

So yeah. Fake screenshot, I see this trend all over and now I’m hooked.

one thing that’s irking me about michael to michaela sterling, is that all of you who are complaining about representation about women who struggle with infertility don’t actually advocate for infertile women in your day to day

outside of that, if you want me to look by the blatant homophobia people are spewing, the books are literally still there.

god forbid sapphics have one thing. one character in your little show. so many people now saying they would’ve been fine with just eloise being in a wlw pairing with cressida, but the truth is y’all would’ve complained and shit on the show for changing from the books REGARDLESS

Happy DADWC day :D how about [ TEARS ] for sender to hold receiver while they cry after sex. for Connor/Solas?

Well. You asked for it >:] Enjoy my specialty: very sad Connor ft. very soft Solas @dadrunkwriting wc: 400 rating: E tw: implied past non-consent/revoked consent

The way Solas touched him was gentle—tentative, as if Connor might break under the slightest pressure. It made him feel fragile. It made him feel…

It made him feel.

He bit back a moan as delicate fingers traced along his side, leaving goosebumps in their wake. Solas was warm between his thighs, skin slick where hips slotted together. His panted breaths were quiet between them, and Connor clutched Solas close as a whine slipped from gritted teeth, his eyes squeezed shut from the pleasure and as if it might shield him from Solas’s soft and searching stare.

Their gasps and groans grew into a desperate harmony with their movements, where flesh and muscle and fingers intertwined. Connor felt the coil of tension build into anxiety, an ache in his core at every caress of Solas’s fingers, every gesture one of careful consideration. He wondered when that gentle touch would turn to one of greed as Solas’s earlier control began slip—wondered when the softness would turn to heedless desire as Solas’s breath grew ragged and mumbled in elven against Connor’s mouth, the words meaningless but laden with need.

Connor knew it wouldn’t happen—not here, not with Solas, but… what if… what if?

Solas’s pace quickened. It was too much to feel, too much to bear as past partners pressed against him with each stroke of Solas’s weight. Connor’s whines turned to whimpers, the cresting sensations lost to tumultuous thought, a spiral of fears and memories of those who expected too much, who took and took with callous-coarse grip made for swords and not skin with no care for what—or who—lay beneath them.

The tears fell hot, trailing down his cheek and into to the curls at the nape of his neck, joined by the warmth of breath chasing them, kissing the damp lines across his face. Connor didn’t know when he had stopped, only that Solas held him now, hands running through his hair, pushing strands away from his face.

“Vhenan—”

“I’m… sorry,” Connor whispered, tucking his face into Solas’s chest, curling into him as tightly as he could, trying to still his shaking hands.

“No,” Solas murmured back, concern and care and grief and guilt in his gaze. He pulled Connor closer despite the catch of sweat-sticky skin, cradling his head in his arms. “Ir abelas, vhenan. You have nothing to apologize for.”

Year of Lists

March Films

more awards-related stuff and then FREEDOM (what I chose to do with it is another thing but one thing I cannot be judged for is there are a LOT of movies this month, and that is positive)

must-watches in bold (these are in relation to other movies watched, and the time, not necessarily must-watches of all time)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (2023) *6ish, I guess? - does this count? It's nostalgia in an hour's worth. it's every bit as bad as you would hope. Great stuff.

American Fiction (2023) *7.5 - hell yeah. Finally, something important done in a pleasant, human, enjoyable way (see how much I sobbed during this awards season: so.many.super.sad movies - or if not sad, just.so.much, overall). Performances are out of this world; it has everything: humour, nuance, a bit of romance, a bit of sadness; it was so damn good to watch.

The Zone of Interest (2023) *6 - how do you rate this? that six is not representative of the movie at all, but here we are. Everything you've heard about this is true: it's masterful, definitely a gut punch, Sandra Hüller is having a great year; the sound(track) is out of this world. It says so much with so little. Yes, it's a movie about the Holocaust, but it's also, really, a movie about how we stand by and allow atrocities to happen. It's a movie about humanity's cruellest side: indifference - right now, and then, and always. There is much to be said here, a lot of conversation was around how Schindler's List worked as a movie, therefore, romanticised, by the movie lens, the Holocaust. I can see how The Zone of Interest tried really hard not to do that, and I can confidently say it's done so much for exposing how useless we can be in the face of tragedy, but with every day that passes, I keep thinking more and more that it hasn't escaped that movie lens. However, it does really well at asking the question of whether we can portray atrocities of this kind, and does it really make a difference when we try?

Dune: Part Two (2024) *7.5 - umm, this is so long I need to rewatch it to even have a formed opinion. In lieu of a rewatch, here are my current thoughts: it wouldn't have been half the movie it is without the soundtrack. Also currently my favourite soundtrack of all time. I could rave and rave about it. The performances were great all round. I really love that Villeneuve doesn't try to constantly capture people like the mega starts they are: see Timmy's double chin, constipated face, present in both movies, and at a close-up at that. Some scenes were visually and emotionally breathtaking but I'm not sure if this was the case because of the anticipation of seeing something loved in a book portrayed on screen. It felt busy and a bit disjointed, especially in comparison to Part 1. I so wish they'd done the romance differently. I was constantly thinking of The Bear and how well that worked there. I wish they'd let Paul and Chani's connection breathe and mature, taken us along for the ride.

Alice, Darling (2022) *6 - this gave How to Have Sex vibes. I love when a movie addresses difficult subjects (in this case, abuse) in a slice-of-life, uber real, awkward way. It dexterously looks at the outward indicators of abuse, the responsibility of friendship - some mild body horror for both symbolic and literal purposes.

The Sixth Sense (1999) *7.5 - they don't make them like this anymore. Boy, do I envy anyone who hasn't watched this and doesn't know anything about it. If you know that person, please, make them known, I want to sit them down and pop this in the cassette player (Netflix or Prime or whatever, but you know). It's only the second time I watched this because I thought there wasn't much reason to, apart from nostalgia. Surely, it's just so worthy because of the set-up. Yeah, yeah, I was wrong. I had to pause a couple of times to allow myself to digest the mastery of what this movie is when YOU DO KNOW.

Scarface (1983) *7 - what can I say? Yup, it's great. Colours are a highlight, as is Michelle Pfeiffer.

A Time to Kill (1996) *6 - disclaimer: I am going through legal dramas, I love 'em. This was fun, much more timely than I expected. Samuel L Jackson has a beautiful, beautiful speech. A man fancies a woman that is not his wife, and she is pretty, and young, and smart, and she ignites a spark in him, and she believes in what he's doing in all the ways his wife doesn't, and yet, said man doesn't cheat on said wife. Woohoo. I'm all for complexity and non-monogamy (when both, or more parties, agree to it) but it is just so beautiful to see a good marriage challenged and withstand the challenge. Bonus points for young Matthew McConaughey and infant Sandy Bullock. It's serious, it's legal fun, a bit naïve; the nineties in a two and a half hour ride.

Rush Hour; Rush Hour 2; Rush Hour 3 (1998) (2001) (2007) *6 *6 *5 - WAR UGH ... SO MUCH FUN. Yeah, they shouldn't be bunched together, yeah, a lot of it reads problematic, yeah, I wish I'd been watching them all my life. Great stuff. Don't look away at all the racist jokes, both ways, and any other way you can imagine. This is a superb example of looking at what we made for fun: there's so much to digest, learn from, appreciate. I LOVE JACKIE CHAN. When I was a kid, it was considered embarrassing to appreciate his work. I had a stupid-ass, DUH, moment of realisation watching this: oh, that 'martial arts movies are sub-par' idea? Yeah, blatant racism. It feels so good to come to this now. Side-note: Zhang Ziyi showing up in 2, what a treat. I'm not one for recycling material but can we have Rush Hour 4 please, please, please?

Blow Out (1981) *6 - another Brian de Palma, another good movie with its merits. Some of it was delicious in a movie buff way, but I was bored nonetheless. If you're into your legal, crime, journalistic slow-burners, go for it.

Decision to Leave (2022) *9 - triple bold. This is my favourite movie. It has been since I saw it in the cinema and cried in the toilets after. It is a masterpiece, Park Chan-Wook might well be my favourite director. There are not enough good things or good enough words I could say. Here's the best I can do rn: noir at its best, romance at its most complex, human nature at its barest, lyricism, depth, story for days, really unapologetic storytelling, no infantilising the audience here, crime at its most beautiful, and potentially the best ending scene cinema has ever seen. Watch this, watch The Handmaiden, watch Stoker, watch Oldboy (when I watch more of his movies, they'll be added to this). They're all in my great movies of all time (fictional) list. Side-note: WE ARE SLEEPING ON KOREAN CINEMA. We're getting there, but we're not even close. Still underrated.

Joy Ride (2023) *6 - does what it says on the tin. Also SO MUCH FUN.

"Don't go putting words in my mouth. Ain't here for that." "Sides what the hell's he know about keeping relationships. He only knows putting fists through heads. Coming home outta that octagon every night busted, bruised and bloody. She don't like none of it. So what's her point? Why he even trying? "Never said you wasn't good enough. I said I'M not made for this, Hannah. This whole domestic thing? I'm not that kinda guy. Maybe I'm never gonna be." Illegal fighting rings? Pulling opponent's teeth outta knuckles. That's all him. In a mixed up bag of bits and pieces. If he has to hurt her feelings to make her leave and keep her outta his business then that's what he'll do. @txnnesseehoney // from xxx
