Louies' 2023 Wrapped Tag Game

(Rules: Answer the questions below and tag at least 3 people!)

Thank you bestie @berlinini for tagging me 🤍 sorry i’m so late on this, work’s been kicking my ass, here we go though!

favorite walls song: this year; don’t let it break your heart

favorite fitf song: impossible to pick just one but right now; holding on to heartache (which is funny considering my fav off of Walls this year)

most played song on Spotify by Louis: Written All Over Your Face (ok whore)

favorite louis lyrics: that’s actually an impossible task because there’s WAY too many! but “there’s endless versions of the thing that keeps me drifting back to darkness” hits home in a way that i can’t explain in words

louis life lesson: it always remains the same; picking yourself back up after facing hardships, seeing the possibilities and positives in a difficult situation; basically strength & resilience

favorite louis outfit: oh that’s unfair, my little fashionista kills it 99% of the time so i have a list of favorite 50 outfits from 2023 but for the purpose of this game we’ll narrow it down to three (and it’s not even top three just three that i loved)

favorite tour show: there were so many good ones this year (Phoenix, Austin, Houston, LA, Philly, New York, Bologna, Paris, Antwerp, Vienna, Łódź, Sheffield, Cardiff, London) but the way that I felt physically ill after fitfwt: Columbus might need to be studied for science; the whiplash from the stark difference of him during the show and him post show was entirely TOO MUCH

favorite public appearance: has to be the RS Awards; the slutty custom-made fit, the main character energy throughout, the confidence, the glow, the ever present eloquence with which he spoke about his work and his successful af year, just him him him <3

favorite AOTV scene: once again there’s so many; that scene where louis’ recording Saturdays and we get some insight into his thinking and his process, the montage of louis with band and crew having an absolute blast while All This Time plays in the background, that one scene where JD is helping him put his hoodie on after he broke his elbow 👀 the last few minutes of the movie where we hear him say the words “i do feel like i deserve this” 🫶🏽🥹 and so so many more actually

favorite band or crew member: favorite three :p are Krystle, Steve & Joshua! special shout out to Joshua for going above and beyond this year honestly! that man carried lthq on his back!

favorite picture: another unfair question but i won’t cheat and post one of my absolute most favorites from this year because it’s like the energy of his shows captured in one moment (i found out on twitter that the hand in his hair belongs to a desi louie which was like the cherry on top)

something that you are looking forward to in 2024: the fitfwt latam shows!!! there is nothing else like the energy the latam crowds bring, which in turn brings out the absolute best (and most unhinged) in louis and his band too, so definitely looking forward to that! and the festivals!!! can’t wait to see him shine in front of the world <3 hope against hope to be a part of it if things work out 🤞🏽🕯️

one wish for Louis (or Louies) for 2024: 🍑🐧🎧 sighting! kidding (not really)! honestly though, growth

growth in this fandom’s level of maturity (with the addition of lots more people who are here for louis’ art and not his personal life), growth in the markets he’s able to capture, growth in the places he’s able and willing to tour *cough*ASIA*cough*, growth in the ability of his teams especially his social media and PR teams, growth from Louis himself in regards to him being open to trying new things

i don’t know who all has done this! but i’ll tag some people just in case (no pressure) @noraincsl @timidlouie @poekitty2020 @stormyhale @louveyous

Krystle and louis - do you think they'd a thing ever?? Is krystle married??

Oh, this is a change of pace! But… equally as stupid as the anons who think Harry is sleeping with everyone.

Krystle is married. Louis went to her wedding. Louis calls everyone babe. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Marte. have you noticed bunch of actions yesterday with another fashion designer (I won´t name it just in case)? He´s linked to H since the Golden video, after his yesterday´s fashion show came up news H invested in the brand which is lovely but then the designer started following the recent stunt girl. I mean, what is this? I´m bit upset because I really love those designed clothes and just don´t know why everything that H does must be also linked to the stunt girl like why can´t she has her own world, her own fashion brands she likes? The stunt already ruined one fashion brand for many fans how much it was suddenly linked to both of them, obviously nothing came out from it except H owning few items and so they will try with another brand? On the other hand it´s funny coincidence how H´s and L´s stylists were at the fashion show sitting opposite to each other. I´m not that optimistic that Helen will suddenly make Louis wear something from that brand but oh, just imagining how great Louis will look in something very different than what he always wears! And it will also be a good laugh if this fashion brand will be connected to the stunt and suddenly Louis will be wearing it too.

Hi, anon!

Well, i don't think we should put so much weight on who follows who on social media. Celebrities uses their public social media accounts kind of like Linkedin. They show off connections and who's employed where and who's met who and built a connection. It's also perfect to promote stunts.

When it comes to stunts H and L make their family, friends and buisness connections follow the beards/PR stunts because it legitimises the relationship and makes it look like a serious relationship. They've done that every single PR relationship. With TR i think her being in the business also plays a part.

A follow is just that, a follow. That doesn’t mean they can't break up the next day. It doesn’t mean that this is a long term stunt, just because H has invested in the brand. If they're both going to be stunting decked out in clothes from that brand, then yes the brand would be forever ruined. I hope that doesn’t happen.

I don't think Louis will wear that brand. Harry Lamb*rt isn't exclusively dressing H, and Krystle isn't exclusively dressing L. The style of the brand doesn’t fit with L's image at all. Having said that i would be over the moon if L would wear basically anything other than what he wears now. I'm not picky. Alas, i don't think we'll see that happening until L has an image change. We can only hope!

How as the show????

(also totally didn't mean to unfollow and refollow you just now...)

oh thank you for asking 🥺 i’m gonna try to make this as short and coherent as possible but it’s just gonna be me rambling fvsjdf

the show was just… magical. louis is magical. uh where do i even start KDJSKF ok. he’s so PRETTY??? i mean wbk but oh my god… photos and videos don’t do his beauty justice!! and of course i need to mention how much tinier he is in person. he’s so so sooo pretty and tiny <3 as soon as i saw him i was like “pixie on stage!”

his voice. how do i talk about his voice? well instagram lives definitely don’t do it justice! we’ve heard him sing live so many times but being there while he performs is just something else. he sounded so so incredible i was in awe the whole time. i mean i know he can sing but he’s been touring for months now and he doesn’t sound tired at all? his voice never falters? it’s actually the opposite? he just gets better and better with every show. and listen. i know nothing about singing but i do know louis’ voice is perfect and one of my favorite things in the world ❤️‍🩹

his band is also SO GOOD omfg i love them. the guitar solo in fearless. holy shit. it was just 👩🏻‍🍳😙👌🏻 michael 👩🏻‍🍳😙👌🏻 ah and seeing the band thank the fans for the show as they left the stage was so cute <3

oh i almost forgot to mention sun room rip. they were so much fun!! when we got inside i was so tired from being in the sun the whole day and then running and climbing stairs but when the music came on i suddenly got all my energy back and more lol ✨

the only thing that wasn’t so great about my experience was my spot ☹️ i was at the barricade but on the right (or louis’ left) and i’m beating myself up for this bc that was CLEARLY not a good spot but my dumb ass thought it was :( then i couldn’t leave bc the middle of the pit was even worse at that point. i’m trying not to dwell on it but it’s hard fjskdf after all i queued for 10 hours :/ (apparently not nearly enough bc a lot of people camped for WEEKS. i kinda hate brazilian fans tbh) and people who were behind me in line got way better spots (including a girl who kept singing the entire 1d discography while we waited. yes i am petty and jealous). i won’t even post the videos and pics i took bc they’re embarrassing 😭 but i watched the show next to oli and krystle lol (and chris too for the first few minutes)

but anyways! LOUIS WAS SO HAPPY!!!! and to think i was part of that… AHHHH 🥺 i mean the things he said specifically about brazil and our crowd just from his FIRST solo concert here… it has already done more for me than therapy! that moment during beautiful war when he just stopped to take it all in??? i almost fell to my knees and started sobbing. i’m proud of making him feel so loved and appreciated 💗 also after last night i can’t understand how there are fans who care about anything other than him???? like. nothing else matters.

i’ve lost 50% of my voice and i can’t wait to lose all of it tomorrow when i see him again hehe <3 i think that’s a nice reminder that i screamed songs i love and have waited so long to hear live :’) i truly had an amazing experience and the thought of him not being back in a few years is even more terrifying now 😵‍💫

Good Enough - Tom Hiddleston X Reader

Fandom: Tom Hiddleston

Rating: R

Warnings: Insecurities, Fluff

Summary: Tom's girlfriend is feeling a little insecure about herself.

"There you are darling," Tom smiled when he saw Y/N walking down the stairs, "I was wondering when you were going to get up."

"Sorry," she apologized with a small smile, "I was having trouble getting myself going."

"Why? What's wrong?" Tom stepped up the last two stairs that separated them, "What's wrong love?"

"Nothing really. I just didn't sleep well last night and it's making me a bit groggy."

Tom gently cupped her face in his hands, "You know you can tell me anything, right? If there's anything bothering you, talk to me."

Y/N just nodded.

"Okay well come down and let me feed you," he took her hand and led her down the stairs to the kitchen, "I'm making omelets."

"My favorite."

He flashed her a smile, "Only the best for you."

Y/N rolled her eyes but smiled, "Flatterer."

He laughed and held the chair out.

"Thank you."

Tom bent and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek before going to the counter, "Ham and cheese?"

"Yes please," Y/N answered before turning her attention to the overcast sky she could see out the kitchen window, "Figures. Fits my mood."

"What's that love?" Tom asked as he sprinkled the chopped ham onto the eggs.

"Nothing."

"Y/N. I know something is bothering you. It's killing me that you won't tell me."

She sighed softly, "The hate I've been getting this week as been exceptionally high. Especially since the pictures of us at the Emmy's after party came out on Monday."

Tom sighed softly, "because we're in a relationship?" "Yes." "Darling I'm so sorry. I don't know why they must be like this." "You're famous and according to your fans, you will never date anyone who is good enough for you," Y/N explained.

"I love my fans. I really do. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have the career I have but I don't understand why they think they can make decisions about my personal life."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault," Tom shook his head, "I'm probably going to regret this but what have they been saying?"

Y/N fished her phone out of her pocket and opened the twitter app. After opening her feed, she handed him the phone. Tom took it and stood up as he scrolled through the tweets that had been sent to his girlfriend. Y/N watched him pacing as he scrolled through the feed. He stopped with his back to her, and she could see his body stiffen. He must have gotten to the tweets that stated he should get back with Taylor Swift even if she was using him for publicity. At least she was pretty.

Tom let out a loud scream as he spun around and flung the phone across the room causing it to hit the opposite wall and break apart.

Krystle jumped in her sit, completely shocked at Tom's behavior. She had never seen him so angry. She watched him standing in the same spot, chest heaving in anger. It was the look on his face though that started to scare her. He looked like he was ready to take someone's head off.

It was the sound of the chair scrapping against the wooden floor that brought Tom back to his senses.

He looked at Y/N and the look of terror on her face nearly split his heart in two.

"Oh god. Oh, darling I'm so sorry," he moved to stand in front of her, but she backed away, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"I've never seen you like that," she whispered.

"I know and I'm sorry. I hate that they are treating you this way and there's nothing I can do about it," he slowly reached for her and pulled her body into his, "Please don't be afraid of me love. I would never hurt you. I'm sorry I lost my temper."

"I know. It's okay," she responded slowly, "um ... I'm not very hungry. I'm going to lay down."

"No darling you have to eat. Let me make you some fresh eggs. You need to eat."

"Ok. Is it okay if I go in the living room?"

"Of course," he nodded, "I'll bring them in when they're done."

Y/N just nodded and walked into the living room.

When he was alone, Tom let out a deep sigh. He was upset he had lost his temper and scared Y/N. He had always been good at controlling his anger and had been able to let whatever it was that was bothering him go. This time was different. Sure, when he had been in the relationship with Taylor, they had people doubting them the whole time, but they had ignored the hate for the most part and had been happy. During their time together his fans had pretty much acted the way they were now, but Taylor was more equipped to handle it whereas Y/N hadn't had any exposure to it.

Sighing softly, Tom went to work on making a fresh batch of scrambled eggs after dumping the now cold omelet. When they were done cooking, he plated them with a slice of toast before pouring Y/N a glass of orange juice.

When he walked into the living room, Y/N was furiously wiping at the tears that had started to fall. He didn't want to upset her more by bringing it up, so he placed the plate on the coffee table in front of her.

"I have juice. Do you want coffee or tea?"

"No thank you," she answered between bites, "This is very good."

Tom nodded even though she wasn't looking at him, "I'm going to go clean the kitchen."

"Okay."

He watched her for a moment before turning back to the kitchen.

                                                            &&&&

Tom cleaned the mess quickly before grabbing his cell phone from the counter and moving to another room where Y/N couldn't hear him.

"Hey brother. What's up?" Chris Hemsworth's Australian accent filled his ear.

"I need help."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It seems my fans are harassing Y/N online a lot."

"This isn't another Swift thing, is it?"

"No," Tom sighed, "much worse. Y/N isn't used to this kind of thing and it's very hard for her. I don't know how to help her."

Chris listened quietly while Tom explained the tweets Y/N had shown him and about the fit he had thrown.

"Tom, did you do anything to her?" Chris asked cautiously.

"Of course not!" Tom all but yelled, "You know me, Chris. You know I would never hurt anyone. I would never raise a hand to a woman."

"I know. I'm sorry. I don't even know why I asked that."

"I scared her. That's all," he sighed, "I don't know what to do Chris. She's so sensitive. It's one of the things I love about her, but this may just be too much for her. I don't want her to leave me because of this." "I know you don’t, and I understand. When things kind of exploded for me after Thor it was tough for Elsa at first. Yes, she's an actress but there was a lot more attention you know?" Tom nodded, "yeah, I get it. But at least she had some exposure to it." "True," Chris agreed, "look just talk to Y/N and let her that no matter what anyone says you love her just the way is." "I never said I love her." "Tommy you called me in a panic because you're worried she's going to leave you." "You're right," he sighed, "I guess I didn't realize how much. After everything with Taylor, I wanted to be cautious the next time around. But I fell in love with Y/N. She means everything to me." "Then go make sure she knows it." "Thanks brother." "Anytime. Talk to later."

Tom ended the call and went in search of Y/N.

"Y/N? Where are you love?"

When he didn't get a response, he went up to the second floor. When he saw the bathroom door shut, he walked over to listen. He didn't hear anything, so he knocked lightly.

"Y/N? Is it okay if I open the door?"

"Yes!"

He opened the door and found Y/N peeking at him from over the side of the bathtub.

"Hi."

Tom smiled and walked in, closing the door. He stopped at the bathtub and kneeled.

"Are you okay darling?"

She nodded, "I think so."

"I'm sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have gotten so angry, and I promise I'll replace your phone."

"I can get it."

"No," Tom shook his head, "I broke it. I'll fix it."

The smile slipped from Y/N's face and whispered, "I wish you could fix what I got broken."

"I'm sorry about the things that are being sent to you."

She just shrugged, "Maybe they're right."

"What?"

"Maybe your fans are right. You should be with her, or someone like her."

"Y/N why are you saying that?"

She sat up and looked at him, "I don't understand why you would want to be with me. You can be with any woman in the world. Hell, you dated Taylor Fucking Swift. One of the most talented, beautiful, intelligent, and creative women in the world. I'm nothing special."

"You are so wrong about that."

Y/N didn't say anything, so Tom stood, "get up." "What?" He grabbed a towel from the closet, "get out of the tub. I want to show you something." He took her hands and helped her stand and step over the side. Wrapping the towel around her, he dried her body taking care to be gentle and be sure every inch of her was dry. "Stand in front of the mirror." "What? No."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Stand in front of this mirror," he gently moved her in front of him, "give me this."

Y/N shook her head and tightened her grip on the towel.

"Darling, you trust me, yes?

"Yes."

"Okay," he took the towel and removed it from her body. When she turned her gaze away from the mirror, he put his finger under her chin and urged her to turn her head.

Y/N took a deep breath and letting it out slowly before focusing on her reflection.

"Do you see what I see?"

"Probably not," Y/N answered softly, "Tom why are you doing this to me? We both know you deserve someone better. We have to stop kidding ourselves."

Tom sighed softly and stepped back. He grabbed the towel and handed it back.

"I'm sorry. I just want you to see how beautiful you are. I don't care that you're shorter than me. I like it because it makes me feel like I'm protecting you. I like the way your head rests on my chest when I hold you. I like that you're soft and curvy. I love the way your body feels against mine," he paused "I love the way we can talk about anything and everything. I love being with you even when we're just watching a movie."

Y/N sniffled as tears slid down her face.

"I love you Y/N."

Her eyes widened at his confession, "Tom."

He waited to see what she would say.

She wiped at her tears, "I love you."

"Do you? Because you seem determined to end this relationship. I love you and I want to be with you more than anything. But if it's not what you want, I can't force you to stay with me," he looked down at the floor briefly before looking at Y/N, “I think we need a little time apart right now. I'm going to go for a walk and give you the space to do whatever you want."

He gave her a small smile and then left the bathroom. 

                                                            &&&&

Y/N stared at the spot where her boyfriend was just standing. She was shocked he had said he loved her. Here she was almost throwing that love away because of her insecurities. He had never given her any indication there was anything about her that he didn't like or wanted her to change. Since they had officially become a couple, Tom was incredibly affectionate with her. Always wanting to hold her and be close to her. There were also the constant kisses, whether they were quick pecks of affection or full on make out sessions. If he found any excuse to be affectionate, he used it.

Y/N finally snapped out of her thoughts. She had to fix this and fast. Jumping in the shower, she quickly washed her body and hair. After her shower, she went to the bedroom to dress. She decided she wanted to show him that his words had touched her, and she was going to work harder at not being so negative about her appearance. She dried and brushed her hair until it shined and then pulled on her emerald, green bra and panty set. She knew green was Tom's favorite color. After all he was Loki, King of Asgard.

Once she was done, she pulled on her black satin robe. Leaving it open she stepped out onto the terrace to see if Tom was back from his walk. She could see him approaching and stood at the railing. Tom looked up as he got closer to the cottage. He stopped when he saw Y/N standing on the balcony watching him. When he saw what she was wearing his eyes widened and he quickened his steps.

"Y/N! Where are you love?"

He ran up the stairs and stopped in the doorway of the bedroom. He could see Y/N's silhouette from where she stood on the balcony. He stepped further into the room. "Y/N? Darling?" She stepped into the room and stood in the doorway. "Hi." He sucked in a breath when he saw what she was wearing, "that's my favorite." "I know," she smirked. Tom started toward her but y/n stopped, "we need to talk about a couple things." "Ok," he nodded. Y/N took a deep breath, "what you said before really touched me and I'm sorry you had to defend why you want to be with me. I meant it when I said I love you. I really do. You are the best thing to happen to me. I feel safe with you, and I know you accept everything about me. Weird quirks and all." Tom smiled, "I do love you y/n. I tried not to fall in love with you so quickly, but I did." "I'm going to be honest and tell you I was a bit surprised when you said that. But that's one of the things I need to work on. Accepting myself as I am and loving myself so that I can give you the love you deserve." "Are you breaking up with me?" "No no. Not at all. I love you, Tom. More than anything." "I'm sorry. Please continue what you were saying." "I'm sure you have figured out by now there is a small part of me that's a little broken," he shook his head to disagree, "it's true and I know you know that. So, what I'm asking is for you to be a little patient with me. What you did today is exactly what I needed even if I didn't want it. I love you and I very much want this to work. I know I can be difficult but I'm going to work on it. So, I'm asking you, while I'm working on fixing what's broken, please don't give up on me." Tom quickly crossed the room and took her face in his hands and kissed her, putting all his love into it. "I will never give up on you. I love you."

"I love you too."

"May I ask a question about your outfit of choice?"

She smiled at the way he asked his question, "I wanted to show you that even though I'm not usually comfortable when I'm so exposed, I want to learn to change the way I see myself. I want to see myself the way you do."

He smiled, "Well if there is any way I can help you, please tell me."

"I will," Y/N reached up and kissed him again. Tom wrapped his arms around her waist and walked her to the bed. "Is this okay?" She nodded, "very okay."

He slipped the robe off her shoulders and threw it behind him.

"You look so good in green," he ran his finger along the tops of a bra cup, "Definitely my favorite color."

Y/N smiled, "well you are Loki, King of Asgard."

Tom smiled, giving her his now famous Loki grin, "Well you are my Queen."

Y/N smiled and gently ran her hand down the side of his face, "You are a beautiful man Mr. Hiddleston."

Tom smiled, "You are a beautiful woman Ms. Y/L/N."

She kissed him again and pulled his T-shirt over his head. She ran her hands down his chest, over his pecs and down his stomach. Her hands slid into the waistband of his jogging pants. Tom watched her as she pushed the pants over his hips and down his legs. Before she could grab his boxers, he grabbed her hands and wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifted her up and laid her across the bed.

"As much as I love this, it needs to go."

He unhooked her bra and pulled it off before removing her panties. He proceeded to place kisses over every inch of her body, paying special attention to the stretch marks on her stomach.

"I love your body," Tom whispered in her ear before kissing her, "I love you my beautiful queen."

"I love you too my beautiful king."

He smiled and kissed her.

(151-165 albums etc that I’ve listened to this year, copied from twitter) (now with art. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12])

names and thoughts below cut

151/ John Tejada Presents Future Stars, Vol. 4 (2023) feels kinda retrofuture??? also, all over the place. yet just ok. hilights? Drew_and_ Pranav - Landing (massive cool! earthbound vibes my beloved) !nspector - Dead of Night (apt title)

---

152/ PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises - ClearSkies™ (2013) midi miasma. it does have a nostalgic summery feel though. neat.

---

153/ PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises - Home™ (2013) maybe its cheap but sometimes, midi musak is quick to fly into my heart. it's kind of hit and miss overall but also: finally, some respect for the XG classics!

---

154/ Packed Rich - Warp Field (2023) there's a softness to each element, yet the percussion often sways a bit frenetic. a warm energy to contrast (and yet compliment) the cold timbres. "Fluid State" standout i think

---

155/ Atom TM - HD (2013) man. i love this flavor of atomtm. the blindingly electric raw electropeppy whatever this is. kraftwerk 2. idk. exception: "My Generation". that's a really cool punk vibe but not my cup of tea. emphasis: still a really good tune.

---

156/ Aleksi Perälä - Mental Union 3 (2013) maybe an odd place to start AP's catalogue, but im pulling from my 2013 list so: it's a really cool oldschool throwback vibe with a coat of shiny microtonal paint. apparently it dual released on rephlex? it's a perfect fit for the label.

---

157/ Blawan - Dismantled Into Juice (2023) oh holy shit that is a SOUND. id be more verbose but idk what to add lol. fun to get excited by wild textures

---

158/ Overmono - Good Lies (2023) summer party sound in a… hazy… 2step i think its called? it's neat but overall it doesn't seem to stick with me. vibes resonating at a different frequency ykno?

---

159/ The Black Dog - The Grey Album (2023) broadly, a good album with some bleepy soundscapes. kinda chill. but… nothing really stood out for me? EXCEPT "Empire Statement Humanoid", which hits me just right …but that was on an earlier single, so hm.

---

160/ Hiroki Kikuta - Indivisible OST (2019) i saw someone say this was kikuta's best work yet. that's a high mark to reach, but ill say: it's a solid ost all around. he rly flexes his action music here but I prefer his more chill swings (f.ex "Perpetual Heartbeat")

---

161/ TOWA TEI - Lucky (2013) weird structure here. the start is filled with style that i dont care for, but cant deny its flavor. then it chills out into its own thing, which i enjoy more. however i think track 2 is cool and fascinating as it sounds ahead of its time to my ears

---

Here's The Bold Question Boston Marathon Bombing Doc Director Would Ask Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Floyd Russ, director of the new Netflix docuseries American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing, wasn’t able to interview the one person in the world who is able to address all the unanswered questions about the tragic 2013 bombing.

That person is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who, along with his now-deceased brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, carried out a deadly bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon and later killed an MIT police officer. The reason Dzhokhar can’t be interviewed is that he’s currently on death row in a supermax prison where interviews with inmates are not allowed.

But if Russ could somehow speak to the remaining Tsarnaev brother, he knows what tough question he would ask him.

Here’s what Floyd Russ would have asked the remaining man responsible for the Boston Marathon Bombing

“We never got to a point where I started seriously drafting questions for Dzhokhar, because we wrote multiple letters, we talked to his attorney, but no one has ever been interviewed in supermax where he’s held or questioned in any form — they just don’t allow it. I think you just have to start with a question like, why would you do this?” Russ tells MovieMaker.

“You start there. But my interview process is not that simple. It takes several hours to sit down and kind of draft a narrative of questions so that when you ask the question why, you don’t just do it right out the gate. You want to do it when someone’s totally open and remembers why.”

Without access to Tsarnaev, Russ tried to gather as much information about what caused the bombing in order to bring some sort of peace to the survivors of the bombing — which include q617 people who lost limbs and many dozens more who were injured — as well as the families of the three victims who lost their lives that day: 23-year-old Lingzi Lu, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, and 8-year-old Martin Richard.

But the director knows that full closure may never be possible.

“This is a manhunt to catch the bombers. But beyond that, it’s a manhunt to understand why this happened,” Russ says. “This 10-year anniversary I think is symbolic because people want closure, and closure isn’t a simple thing. It doesn’t just come with, oh, I closed the book, and I move on. It doesn’t exist in this story, in an event like this,” Russ said.

“I wanted to make sure that when people watch it, they feel like they walk away from this thinking, Okay, I fully understand what happened,” he added.

“You can never understand why a person becomes a terrorist unless we can actually talk to that person, but one is dead and the other one is in supermax, so we can’t talk to him. So we went through people that knew the bombers: the neighbor, the teacher, the best friend. We could not get ahold of the father and mother. Sadly, they haven’t been in anything. They live in Russia. But finding all the archival we could, we pieced together the story of what we felt was most pertinent in terms of showing what happened to them [the Tsarnaev brothers] between moving to Boston 10 years before the bombing as hopeful immigrants and then becoming bombers that day.”

All three episodes of American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing are now streaming on Netflix.

Good Morning, Lovesss!! Atleast for Us, it is…

After putting in some late night work behind the computer screen, Krystle rejoined her hubby in bed! Although soon thereafter, he had to head off to work, breaking the spell.

Feeling quite tense and lethargic, Krystle decides to toss her hair in a bun and break in that new home gym, maybe even stream it! She set out hoping to get energized, but instead she’s found herself right back under the covers—crying…(and I’m not making this up, all of these crying spells and bad attitudes were really happening as moodlets; it was wild! Like omg what’s wrong with my baby?!)

So, when Roger returned home from work, finding her in the same position he left her, he said, “oh naaa, c’mon, sit down and talk about this…..cause baby, why are you up here, under the sheets—crying??”

Drury's aunt, Valerie Wilcox, told the The Buffalo News that she fondly recalled the day her sister legally adopted the "sweet, sweet girl" with a capacity for joy that could echo off the walls. On family vacations to Wildwood, New Jersey, Amanda remembers that her sister was the one pulling everyone else into the water.

"Jubilant" was the word her brother, Christopher Moyer, used to describe her. She was a fan of food and life and seemingly every song on the radio he didn't know, he said.

Drury's swings in energy could make it difficult to hold a job, Moyer said. But after he was diagnosed with leukemia, eventually requiring a bone marrow transplant, she rushed to Buffalo eight years ago to be by his side. She babysat his two small children, made grocery trips to help out, and accompanied him on wing runs for his restaurant, The Dalmatia Hotel.

“No matter what she went through. She was full of life," said her friend and neighbor in Buffalo, Krystle Pino, to radio station WGRZ. "Caring, happy, she cared about everyone,”

At the beginning of each day, Pino told the Syracuse Post-Standard, Drury liked to pop her head out the window to yell across the street.

“Good morning, Boo,” Drury would yell. “I love you!”

“I love you, too!” Pino responded in kind.

Drury lived just 10 minutes on foot from the Tops Friendly Markets location on Jefferson Avenue — and on Saturday afternoon, May 14, she walked down the street the same way she always did, Moyer said.

But this time, she didn’t return.

"I knew about the shooting immediately," Moyer said. "All my friends had called me saying, 'Oh my god, I can't believe what happened down the street.'"

Moyer knew a gunman was at their local supermarket. He knew multiple people had been shot. He refused to even imagine that his sister could be involved.

But she wasn't answering the phone. She wasn't at home. His sister's friends began to knock on his door, saying they were worried.

"Little by little," he said, "it began to seep in."

Even before the police called, he began preparing his family for the worst.

She had been among the first victims, they learned. She'd been shot down in the Tops parking lot by a man who’d scrawled a racial slur onto his rifle. 

The alleged killer had driven more than 200 miles from his home to Buffalo’s historical Black Main Street. According to police, he left behind a white supremacist manifesto describing his plan to terrorize anyone who didn’t look like him.

By the time police allowed the gunman to lay down his rifle, 13 people had been shot. And 10 lay dead.

Among them was his sister, just 32 years old, who would never again be able to shout her love from her front window, or serenade her sister with Whitney Houston songs over the phone.

"It's hard to know what to say," said Moyer, who said his family is trying to keep it together. He spoke from the hospital, after suffering yet another health setback.

For sister Amanda, Roberta was the one who made sure family gatherings were all about spending boisterous quality time together. "Her vibrancy set a tone," she said.

Moyer’s restaurant, The Dalmatia Hotel, declared itself heartbroken in a Facebook message, calling her a “bright light in the world.”

“To learn that a member of our NorthStar family fell victim to an extremist act of hate, is unfathomable,” wrote Daniel Bowles, superintendent of the North Syracuse Central School District where Drury had attended high school.

As for Drury's neighbor, Pino, she was left to tell her young children that they would never again see their neighbor, she told the Post-Standard.

“I had to explain … she is with God now,” Pino said.

i find it interesting how louis has more women on his team behind the scenes (helene, krystle, helen, lisa from bmg and i’m pretty sure he’s worked with a female writer before?) and all white men on the more “visible” positions vs harry who’s the complete opposite like he’s got three girls in his band, most of the artists he’s interacted with are women but behind the scenes i can only think of molly his creative director? oh and there’s his hairdresser too, i forgot her name. but besides these two no one else comes to mind.
