Okay, okay, not to get started early, but let’s go:
(Be forewarned: I’m about to say a lot lol.)
Tumblr media
1. I want yall to understand the Hall ERUPTED when they revealed RDJ. (I wish I could get my video of it to upload, sadly I cannot, but I’m sure y’all have seen the footage repeatedly already.)
2. I literally was just saying the other day that the same MCU fandom that’s ALWAYS saying it’s dead now, will happily (and confidently) say in the next breath that it wouldn’t be dead if their two favorite white men — RDJ and Chris Evans — returned.
3. This same fandom that wants RDJ back, LOVES to say it’s not because he’s their favorite white man, but because he carried the franchise with his skill and talent, yet they always say that while crapping on all the new minorities and women, especially Black characters, particularly Black women characters, who are in the franchise now. And there’s no one character who catches more hell on a daily basis than Riri Williams - Iron Heart. You know, Iron Heart, the one y’all are so transparently racist about, you refer to her as “woke” casting, or even the “DEI replacement” for Tony Stark.
Now, look, I don’t know if the Doom RDJ is about to be adapting in the one mentioned in the above tweet, and neither does anyone else in the fandom at this point. HOWEVER, what I DO know is that watching SO many people in this fandom be “upset” that he’s returning, or be upset that he’s returning in this role, is genuinely hilarious. Y’all are not upset. Y’all have been practically screaming, crying, and throwing up, over the idea that RDJ wouldn’t return.
Come on now, y’all get happy when you see two random white male extras standing next to each other in a scene. And you practically cream yourselves whenever you catch even a glimpse of RDJ’s expensive ass face in one of these movies.
So, please, pretty pretty please with sugar on top, FUCKING SPARE ME!
This man (and Evans tbh) could show up tomorrow playing mail man number 5 in Eternals 2: Electric Boogaloo and y’all would be shipping him with Ikaris, and we all know it. So, maybe stop being so disingenuous about y’all’s reactions to this announcement. It’s silly, and we’re all laughing at you.

-
Rooster was a big guy, he knew that. He was very aware that musculature wise he was very well defined and very big. He looked down at Marcus when he wrote something down on his notepad, “So?”
“Well, you are a big boy,Rooster.” the fashion designer comments, “Your shoulders are very broad for some of my designs but I can fix it.”
Rooster hums, folding his shirt in his hands, looking back to where Beatrice was seated, Nicole sleeping on her chest and a small smile on her face, “Right.” he says softly, “Can I ask what exactly…I don’t know, brought this up?”
Marcus adjusted his glasses as he considered Rooster's question. "Well," he began, "I've always been drawn to unique and unconventional models. I find that real people, with their own stories and experiences, bring a certain authenticity to the fashion world that professional models often lack."
Rooster raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Marcus's perspective. "So, you're saying you chose us because we're not your typical models?"
"Exactly," Marcus replied with a nod, walking around Rooster to measure his back length. "You Beatrice wasn’t a model and she’s been my most successful collection so far.” Beatrice’s cheeks reddened as she sunk a bit on the couch with her smile turning bashful, “Besides, some models are just…an illusion. I’m tired of illusions, can you lift your head for me?”
The pilot does, furrowing his brows as he hears Marcus muttering numbers, then allowing him to lower his head once more, “So,what exactly will we do? Not…run walk,right?”
Marcus snorted, pulling his glasses to his forehead, “Oh,my darling Bradley, of course not.” he sputters, waving his hand, “You won’t have to worry about that. It’ll be a photoshoot,nothing more.”
Rooster relaxed slightly at Marcus's explanation. He wasn't exactly looking forward to strutting down a runway, and the idea of a photoshoot seemed more manageable. "A photoshoot, huh?" he mused, his curiosity piqued. "I can handle that."
Marcus grinned, pleased with Rooster's response. "Excellent! You'll see, it'll be a lot of fun."
Rooster nodded, feeling more at ease with the plan. "Sounds good. I trust your judgment, Marcus."
"As you should, Rooster," Marcus replied warmly, making a few more notes in his notepad. "I promise you won't regret this." he taps his notes for a few seconds, “Anyway,I shall leave you two alone to check on the others,be right back!” Marcus leaves Beatrice and Rooster - and a sleeping Nicole - alone in the little fitting room and the pilot huffs out a sigh.
He puts his shirt back on, making sure to fix his shoulders - he somehow got a bit…surprised at how big they are - before turning to face Beatrice, who was just smiling at him with her head tilted, “What?”
Beatrice's smile grew warmer as she regarded Rooster. "Nothing," she replied, her voice soft and affectionate. "I just can't help but admire how handsome you look, even when you're just trying on clothes."
Rooster chuckled, dropping his head bashfully. "You're too kind, babe," he said, then looked back at the huge mirrors that surrounded the room "But I have to say, I feel a bit out of my element here."
Beatrice walked up and cupped Rooster's cheek, her thumb gently stroking his skin. "You're doing great," she assured him. "And I think it's kind of exciting to step out of our comfort zones once in a while, don't you?"
“...I guess.”
“Roos.”
Rooster couldn't help but smile at Beatrice's words. She had a way of making even the most unfamiliar situations feel manageable. "You're right," he admitted. "I guess I just needed a little reassurance."
Beatrice leaned in and gave Rooster a soft, lingering kiss. "I'm always here to reassure you, Roos," she whispered against his lips. "No matter what."
Rooster's heart swelled with love for his wife. He gave himself another look, then twisted his upper body a bit, “...I never noticed how big I was.” he mutters, running his hands down his chest to get rid of some of the creases on his shirt, “I mean,I knew, it’s just…I never noticed it.”
Beatrice tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with affectionate amusement. "Well, Roos," she said, her fingers gently tracing the lines of his chest through his shirt, "you're definitely a big and strong guy. But you've always been this way, and I've always loved you for it." her cheeks reddened when he smirked down at her.
Oh, to be swallowed by earth right now.
Nicole babbled something on Beatrice’s hold, clearly bothered by her parents' constant talking, turning her head the opposite way on Bea’s shoulder, “Tell you what,” she begins, “I can talk to Marcus and get more on what he’s planning if you want?
Rooster smiled at Beatrice's words, just petting Nicole’s head when she woke up annoyed by them,”Alright,I’ll wait for you here.” he says, leaning down to peck her lips, “Don’t take too long or I’ll end up carrying back in here.”
“Rooster.”
He smirks, winking down at her, “Joking,gorgeous.”
Beatrice chuckled softly at Rooster's playful remark. "I'll be quick," she promised, pressing another sweet kiss to his lips. "And you behave while I'm gone."
Rooster feigned innocence, his hand over his heart. "I'm always on my best behavior," he replied with a grin. Beatrice rolled her eyes affectionately and carefully passed Nicole into Rooster's capable arms. "You two have some daddy-daughter time while I chat with Marcus," she said, her voice soft and loving.
Rooster cradled Nicole in his arms, smiling down at his daughter. "We'll be just fine, won't we, sweetheart?" he cooed to the baby. Nicole squinted her eyes open, then turned to bury her face on Rooster’s chest, “Oh,well. We will.”
Beatrice leaned in and gave them both a quick peck on the cheek. "I'll be back before you know it," she assured them.
As Beatrice left to speak with Marcus, she walked past the other dressing rooms where the rest of the Dagger Squad was. She had to admit,it was weird seeing them…here, in a place she’s been often ever since she met Marcus years ago. She walked past some of his assistants, tilting her head when she saw her friend at the end of the room, leaning over a table.
She speeds her steps, avoiding pieces of fabric and mannequins on the way over, “Marcus-” the fashion designer turns towards her but before she could ask him anything, he holds up a dress in front of her body.
“Hmmm.” he narrows his eyes, ‘No, your blue should be more lilac.”
Beatrice blinked in surprise as Marcus suddenly held up a dress in front of her, scrutinizing the color. She glanced down at the dress, which was a shade of blue, and Marcus's discerning eye was evident as he analyzed the color.
"I-oh," Beatrice stammered, caught off guard by Marcus's unexpected actions. She had come to discuss Rooster's participation, but it seemed that Marcus was preoccupied with his work.
Marcus nodded, his gaze fixed on the dress. "Yes, lilac would work much better," he mused, his fingers tapping against his chin in thought. "It would complement your skin tone beautifully."
Beatrice blinked again, trying to process the sudden shift in conversation. "Lilac?" she repeated, glancing at the dress and then back at Marcus. "Are you suggesting I wear this for the photoshoot?"
Marcus finally looked up from the dress and met Beatrice's gaze with a warm smile. "Why not?" he replied. “You did it before, darling.”
“But,” she looks back to where the others were, “I thought it’d be only them?”
Marcus chuckled, setting the dress aside. "Of course, Rooster's involvement is important," he said. "But I’m just making sure it’s right, after all, you are my muse."
Beatrice's cheeks flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and flattery.She had her pictures taken before so why was she still embarrassed by that? "I'll think about it," she said finally, her voice soft. "But let's discuss Rooster first. Is there anything specific you need from him for the photos?"
Marcus's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he shifted the conversation back to Rooster's participation. "Yes, yes, of course," he replied. "I have some pieces." he walks away from her to dig into a trunk filled with clothes, “That could fit him greatly, while it is Navy inspired-” he grunts, pulling the trunk’s lid open “It is also summer,soo…”
“You did give him some amazing clothes before,I don’t doubt it’ll be– woah.”
Marcus held it in front of him and Beatrice’s mouth dropped at what it was.
Beatrice's eyes widened as Marcus pulled the outfit from the trunk, and she couldn't help but be impressed by the design. The outfit was a perfect blend of Navy-inspired elements and summery style, and it looked like something Rooster would wear comfortably.
The centerpiece of the outfit was a tailored, navy blue blazer with gold buttons embossed with anchor motifs. Underneath the blazer, there was a crisp, white, short-sleeved shirt with subtle blue stripes that added a touch of casual elegance.
For the bottom half of the outfit, Marcus had chosen a pair of tailored, khaki-colored trousers that were both comfortable and stylish. They were just the right fit for Rooster, allowing him to move freely while looking effortlessly chic. A braided, brown leather belt with a nautical-themed buckle completed the look, adding a touch of detail to the ensemble.
As Beatrice examined the outfit, she couldn't help but smile. "Marcus, this is perfect," she said, her admiration evident. "Rooster is going to look fantastic in this."
Marcus beamed with satisfaction, clearly pleased with Beatrice's reaction. "I thought it would suit him," he said. "And for the photoshoot, we can have him wear some comfortable loafers or boat shoes to complete the look."
Beatrice nodded in agreement. "That sounds great," she replied. "I'll talk to Rooster about it, and I'm sure he'll be…” god imagining him wearing that was…was really nice, “H-Happy.”
Marcus placed the outfit carefully back into the trunk, making sure it was well-preserved. "Excellent," he said. "I can't wait to see how it all comes together. And don't forget to think about the lilac dress for yourself, my dear. It's a color that will truly highlight you."
Beatrice smiled, her thoughts already drifting toward the idea of wearing the lilac dress. "I'll consider it," she promised. "But for now, let's focus on making  sure Rooster will be okay with it."
Marcus agreed wholeheartedly. "Agreed," he said. "With your help, I have no doubt it will be resolved."
As they continued to discuss the details of the photoshoot, Beatrice couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building. It was going to be an adventure, both for Rooster and herself, and she couldn't wait to see how it all unfolded.
She did stop for a few seconds, then slowly turned to Marcus, “Question.”
“Yes?”
“...there is something else in your mind,isn’t it?”
Marcus blinked, then slowly smiled, “Well, you got me gal.” he chuckles, leaning on his work table, “I might have…a proposition for you.” she blinked up at him, “...would you like to, maybe at the end of the year, come with me to Paris?”
Silence.
She hears nothing but silence after his question.
Her eyes widened as she considered the offer, her mind racing with possibilities. "Paris?" she repeated, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and excitement. "That sounds incredible, Marcus. But why Paris? What's the occasion?"
Marcus grinned, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Well, there's a prestigious fashion event happening in Paris at the end of the year," he explained. "It's a showcase of some of the world's top designers and their latest collections. I've been invited to participate, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you to experience the fashion world on an international level."
Beatrice's little squeak only makes him smile, “Oh…um…I don’t know.”
Marcus waved a hand dismissively. "Darling, you don’t have to answer me yet and in fact I wouldn’t be upset if you said no," he replied. "I know life has been really hard for you lately and I wouldn’t want to put even more pressure on you. You know that.”
 She took a moment to collect her thoughts before responding. "I appreciate the offer, Marcus," she began, her voice sincere. "It's a tempting opportunity, and I would love to experience something like that. But…I have a lot going on."
Marcus nodded in agreement, his smile warm and supportive. "Of course, darling," he said. "Take your time to think about it, and discuss it with Rooster. Your family comes first, always."
Beatrice smiled appreciatively, grateful for Marcus's understanding. "Thank you, Marcus," she said. "I'll talk to Rooster about it, and we'll see how things go." and she scurried out of there, chewing her lower lip, ready to meet Rooster back in the little dressing area.
She gets there and stops, because her husband and daughter were now peacefully sleeping on Marcus’ amazing couch, Rooster’s head was tilted back on the armrest and he had both arms around Nicole, keeping her still on his chest.
Beatrice stood in the doorway, her heart swelling with love as she watched Rooster and Nicole peacefully sleeping on the couch. She quietly approached them, taking in the peaceful expressions on their faces. Rooster's strong arms were wrapped protectively around Nicole, and the little girl was snuggled close to her father.
Gently, she bent down and pressed a soft kiss to Rooster's forehead. He stirred slightly but didn't wake up, his hold on Nicole remaining secure. Beatrice then leaned over to place a tender kiss on Nicole's cheek, making the little girl's lips curve into a contented smile in her sleep.
With a soft sigh, Beatrice settled down on the floor beside the couch, her gaze alternating between Rooster and Nicole. The movement might have caused Rooster to finally wake up, because his deep groan made her look back at him, “Hey.” she whispers, kissing the tip of his nose, “Hi sleepy head.”
Rooster slowly blinked his eyes open, his vision adjusting to the soft light in the room. He found himself on the couch, still cradling Nicole in his arms. Beatrice's voice reached his ears, and he turned his head to find her sitting on the floor beside them.
"Hey," he murmured, his voice warm and sleepy. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at his wife,albeit confused "The hell? Why are you on the floor?"
Beatrice chuckled softly at Rooster's bewildered expression. "I didn't want to disturb you and Nikki," she explained in a hushed tone. "You both looked so peaceful, I couldn't resist sitting here and watching you."
Rooster's sleep-addled brain began to process her words, and he realized that he was still holding Nicole close. He carefully shifted his position, allowing Beatrice to stand up if she wanted to.
Beatrice scooted closer to the couch, her eyes filled with affection as she watched Rooster and Nicole. "You two are adorable," she whispered, reaching out to gently stroke Nikki's hair. "I love how you take care of her."
Rooster smiled, his heart warming at Beatrice's words. He placed a soft kiss on Nikki's forehead before carefully shifting her into a more comfortable position. "I love taking care of both of you," he replied, his voice filled with love. "It's the best part of my day."
“You are too cute.”
“And you are beautiful.”
Beatrice's heart swelled with love as she cupped his cheek, “Anyway,I talked to Marcus.”
Rooster yawned, rubbing his eyes. "You talked to Marcus?" he inquired,"What did he say?"
Beatrice smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "He showed me what you are going to wear and it’s really,really, nice.” she smiles, “And to relax a bit, you’ll do fine.”
"Nice, huh?"
Beatrice nodded, her smile growing wider. "Yes, very nice," she confirmed. "And you're going to look absolutely dashing, Roos."
Rooster couldn't help but blush slightly at Beatrice's compliment. He wasn't used to being in the spotlight in this way, and the idea of being a model for a day was both thrilling and intimidating. "I hope so," he said modestly. "I just hope I don't trip on the backdrop or anything.”
Beatrice giggled, her fingers gently tracing patterns on his cheek. "You'll be fine, babe," she reassured him. "And even if you do, I'll be right there cheering you on."
Rooster's worries began to melt away in the warmth of Beatrice's love and support. He leaned in closer, capturing her lips in a soft, affectionate kiss. It was a silent exchange of love and reassurance, a reminder that they were in this together.
When they finally pulled away, Beatrice rested her forehead against Rooster's, her eyes locked onto his. "We're going to have so much fun," she said, her voice filled with excitement. “You’ll see.”

Mrs pasta here checking in on you peach 🍑
Glad to see you doing well and as always, keeping positive and away from the drama.
I also see operation manufacturing an internet bf has some people in a tiff. 😂
I myself don’t mind the carbon copy, I think he’s cute and somewhat charming, but what I don’t love is seeing the sudden bandwagon jump as always.
I have always side eyed fair weathered fans. Jumping to whoever is “hot” at the moment and then piling on someone else when they are “down.” I have no issues with carbon copy having his own fans - I just resent a comparison being used to put one down over the other. There’s no need for that. Especially when some are doing it on purpose to get a rise out of others.
I also have a feeling some people will be crawling back in the near future. I’ve always thought Ramen wasn’t meant to go the commercial route of big blockbuster movies and beefcake persona. I think his innate nature (at least publicly) has shown he tends to thrive when he follows his guns and picks a risky or unique project with a director that has a specific vision. I think this is where he will continue to find inspiration and return on investment.
If money isn’t an issue for him anymore, I think these smaller but more original/different projects may carve him a future in character acting that I think he still has a chance to succeed in.
He doesn’t need to be a top shelf A lister or even awards darling to do it. He is talented and he will find an audience somehow, I am sure of this.
Remember - art is subjective. And what makes a good movie isn’t necessarily how many awards it gets or how big the box office numbers are. If you are someone’s favorite actor in a movie they watch religiously and they can quote every line, or you are an actor whose opened a person up to a new genre or franchise simply because they enjoyed you on screen - then in my books, you’ve succeeded. I think Ramen has done that for many people in this world and I don’t think he needs to prove anything to anyone. I myself have seen multiple men wearing cap America tshirts this month alone (it’s 2024!) - white, Asian, Black, Latinx, older, middle aged, teenaged, child. Both Ramen and his friend Buldak (three guesses who I’m referring to 😉 AM) have created a legacy that won’t be going away anytime soon. Ten years ago, I used to mainly see batman and superman t shirts. I don't think all these new fans are just people who like comic books.
Be well, peach. Until next time!
Mrs. Pasta!! I welcome you back, it’s been awhile, but glad to see you around these neck of the woods again.
I actually think Chris’ career was heading out of the internet boyfriend for a while, and now here we are. I’ve tried to remain out of this discourse because I never want to yuck on someone else’s yum, but of course people want to push him and his projects on me, or want to talk about him, and eventually I do, and they don’t like it. When I’ve stated multiple times that the man does absolutely nothing for me in looks and I don’t enjoy his movies, and that’s being generous given his list of projects. Everyone has their time to come up, but his has been quick, since working on Top Gun. Almost like he has someone who wanted to invest in his career. Good for him. Now go away and create a new identity 😂
As you talk about the fair weathered fans, it just proves it was more about the looks and persona than about the talent. Which is fine, but we don’t have to kick him when he’s down to lift another up. I have been a fan of his since 2001. I became a fan for his looks, yes, and stayed because I enjoyed him. I enjoyed his body of work, meaning projects. I enjoyed his public persona, etc. You don’t stay a fan for over 20 years on looks alone. Although his looks to me are a bonus.
Chris’ career is fine, despite what some people believe. It is not of the height as it was when he was in Marvel, but neither is RDJ’s, Scarlett’s, or anyone’s. Marvel is a wheelhouse, and is in a league all of its own, so it’s silly to compare the two. However, Chris has had movies since Not Another Teen movie where he was the lead, and had a character name. It was a slow, but steady climb to his peak in 2018/2019. But he has officially announced three projects for this year alone. People don’t even know what he could be planning for 2025. He is an attractive white man that has a reputation for an excellent work ethic. He’ll be okay.
And you’re right. I would wager most actors aren’t A-List anymore. I seriously get tired of this conversation because it goes around in circles. But this age of celebrities are not the ones from the past. And that’s okay. Things change. As long as he is happy with his career and the way it’s going, and he’s being fulfilled it shouldn’t matter if he’s in huge box office successes.
Buldak! I love this!! I think the spicy ramen suits Mackie 😉 And you’re right. Superman was the superhero of the past. Now, it’s Captain America. Nobody can ever take Steve Rogers from Chris, or the fact that he was the face of Marvel for years. But I don’t even consider Steve to be one of my favorite characters. However, he was perfect for it, and nobody could have done it better.
As always, Mrs. Pasta, thanks for dropping in!

I don’t know about pics but unfollowing everyone is smart actually cause then it means you don’t have to see peoples posts you can log in post whatever you like and log off.
That's true lol 😆
Idk why RDJ did it, but it can be a brand new start. Didn't Timmy do it as well at one point? Or did he just erase all his posts? 🤔
With Austin, he's always been pretty private, so I'm not even surprised about him erasing everything. He erased his tweets long time ago. With Instagram, I thought he would just erase some things like he did in the past, but not EVERYTHING all at once lol 😆
I'm definitely going to miss some of his posts on Instagram....
For example, his firm post regarding the George Floyd murder.... 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
Then, there was this sweet little number here lol... 🤭 I thought it was going to be your typical "bathroom selfie"🤪, but boy I was wrong lol... 😆
Tumblr media
❤️❤️
.
Oh and of course his sweet message to fans that he posted on his Instagram right before the "Elvis" movie came out. 🥰
So yeah....
Ahhh well.... I always say that if social media is ruining your mental/emotional health, then it's just best to let it go completely, or to only post every once in a blue moon.
I know some fans (like myself!) miss some of the personal posts that Tom used to post on Instagram. 😭 I loved his content! But at the same time, I don't want my faves feeling pressured to post on social media, or doing it at the expense of their mental and emotional health/well-being....ykwim?? 😔
So, I'd rather my fave be HAPPY and healthy, than posting and deep down feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed about it. 😔 While I love content lol, I don't want it at the expense of someone's well-being, ykwim? 🤷🏾‍♀️
Social media can be VERY toxic. I don't even blame some celebrities for completely giving it up altogether. 🥺 Even I need breaks from Tumblr every once in a while tbh 😔

Hi Torship 💛 you have ficd for Tokoyami (mha) and Shisui, assuming they're your series favs... What other favs do you have? I don't know if you love any character like you love shisui tho? ;D hard to imagine
Have a good day/night!
Hey, Anon!
I have a lot of series that I like, fandoms that I browse over like popping your head in a gallery to admire the view and not read the labels, but only a few characters I am pretty hardcore for...!
Shisui
We been knew. I don't really know how I found myself quietly determined to dominate his character tag but life works in mysterious ways. He was a possible love interest for my SIOC back in the day and then... We spiralled, massively. I liked his character so much that I turned to my Beta one day and said 'why isn't there a Shisui time travel fic, one thats simple but impactful?' and she shrugged and told me why I didn't try my hand at it myself, and that's how In The Eye of the Beholder started. The first of...many. I think we're at around 20 Shisui-centric fics posted? And endless ideas 🤡 The OG blorbo
Obi (Akagami no Shirayuki/AnS)
Oh my god Obi. You guys don't realise everything I have bottled up inside of me, but Obi gets me almost at the same level as Shisui, I just never posted much. The AnS fandom is smaller and idk in a weird way I'd feel more out of place there because, with Naruto fics, you're kinda sheltered by the crowd? We all deal with self consciousness, I guess. Obi unlocks something in me. Like with Shisui, I can ship him with almost anyone because I'm ace and romance is nice to read but not the end of the world, you know? It's always going to be a platonic relationship that rules my fics, I can't help it. But Obi? His love for Shirayuki just turns me into this puddle of emotionally complicated goo 😵
For Bnha....
You're not wrong that there's a reason that Tokoyami ended up as my first character-centric foray into this fandom, but it's not at all the same as the previous two. I have a lot of loves in BnHa. Ochako, Momo, Kirishima, Todoroki, Dabi, Hawks, Mirko, Best Jeanist, Ingenium (Tensei), and I have a protective streak a mile wide for Tamaki (I have a lot of thoughts, on...all of it tbh) but I'm very happy to rotate across basically the whole cast from BnHA because a good fic is a damn good fic! And the artists are also extremely talented~
Narutoverse
I want to swing by Narutoverse again, just to reiterate that I may be welded to Shisui but I do love a massive number of characters, mainly the idea/potential of them than canon reality (as in most cases, I'm not a "love letter to canon" author) but it's a love all the same. Tobirama, Gai, Lee, Tsunade, Kakashi (squad 2 tbh, i picked my favs for that group), and I've grown so much fonder of other characters that I never paid much mind to (mainly Uchiha or Akatsuki etc) as just a reader!
Other fandoms
I'm... I'm a binge reader without much in the way of pickiness for a lot of fandoms. Les Mis, MCU, HP, LotR/Hobbit (I'm not even loyal to Aragorn/Arwen, this is how flexible I am in the face of good fandom content).
I have a huge preference for BAMF Din, I had to stop watching season three of the mandalorian because it was frustrating me so much lol
My favorite PJO character by a long long shot is Percy
I get annoyed when I remember that they didn't make the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies a polytriad
I'm Merlin trash in the year 2023
I'm too scared to start One Piece 🥴
If I had the time, memory space, and energy to swallow Star Wars lore, I would write a huge fic where Finn is the protagonist. No hate to any character but I want what I want
I think I'm running out of fandoms and, therefore, character fixations 😂 you're right tho, Anon, that I don't exactly have a designated 'Shisui' level of love in each fandom!

I would actually LOVE to explain why I think Joe’s career never took off. Because it IS bewildering when you consider his first project was literally the lead in an Ang Lee film. And I think it comes down to a few things
His desire to be uninteresting during press. This is actually the #1 reason why. Being good at press can really help an actor overcome a mediocre project. He never wore interesting clothes or showed much of his personality during press. Everything we learned about him was through Taylor.
he didn’t pick lead roles until it was too late. Every lead role he had after his debut was after folklore and the re-emergence of Taylor as an it girl celebrity so his name was tied to her more than ever. Fun fact: I think this is the reason Lily Gladstone chose to go for the leading actress is because it’s much harder for mostly unknown actors to make the jump from supporting to leading. She wanted her future roles to be leading roles. Once you establish yourself as someone that can lead, you can take on supporting (like Leo in Django or RDJ in Oppenheimer).
He’s not good looking enough to offset the fact that he’s a good but not great actor. Jacob Elordi is a good actor (he has only okay accent work and has been pretty 1 note so far), but his pretty face and long limbs will always get my attention. Josh O’Connor very easily passed as a Prince Charles lookalike, but he is so dynamic as a performer, I am seated for his work too.
I actually agree with all of this! Fwiw, I was joking about his team being the reason, he got good opportunities so that was obviously not the case (i do believe his team sucks when it comes to handling press about the breakup tho)
The number 1 reason you mentioned is the one that makes me the most furious because he never even tried. All his press is SO BORING! And what makes me angry is that I have the theory that he was kind of relying on being Taylor's boyfriend to do the promo for him, which is ironic considering that he hated getting associated with her, but honestly what else did he have in his favor? We know nothing about him besides that! He went to fucking Kelly Clarkson, the most charismatic woman on tv right now, and made zero (0) effort to come across as likable.
Another thing I believe plays a factor is, as you said, going for lead roles too late, especially not being attached to a cultural phenomenon. Look at all his peers: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jacob, and Josh... They all have in common being part of insanely popular TV shows. And the thing is that he was supposed to have his big moment with Conversations with Friends, but... It just sucked, lol. Tbf that wasn't completely his fault. I loved the book! But it was not tv adaption material, and the script didn't let him do much, which also put into evidence that he is not that good of an actor because his costar did a much better job.
He could've gotten better at his craft with more opportunities. For example, I think Jacob can keep growing because he is getting tons of great work that, if he is serious enough, will make him a more seasoned performer. (He also has so much charisma, i wish i could climb him and kiss him but i digress). But i believe Joe's window of opportunity already passed and he didn't take advantage of it.
He also fumbled the greatest woman to ever lived and no one is going to forgive him for it 🤷‍♀️ Sucks to be him.

the get to know me thing, but only the prime numbers. (i'll give you a hint, 1 isn't prime, good luck figuring out the rest :P )
2. what would you name your future kids?
Tungsten and Francium so they can shorten their names to their respective periodic table elements.
3. do you miss anyone?
A lot of people. People come and go in your life like waves. That's why you wave "good bye" and wave "hello"!
5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?
Tumblr media
7. what was your life like last year?
Honestly, it was a Taylor Swift song but in nightmare form. I hated it.
11. are you listening to music right now?
13. how do you feel right now?
Sleepy but my caffeine is kicking in
17. opinion on insecurities
Less secure than securities. Everyone has them you just have to work to overcome them or manage them.
19. have you ever been to New York?
Yes about 10 13 15 years ago. I'm going back in the summer though!
23. fear(s)
Ending up back with my parents. Nothing wrong with that, but I feel like I would be miserable living with them again. I love them and everything, however, they've become miserable bored old people that live in Pennsyltucky (also known as the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania)
29. favourite film(s)
Inside by Bo Burnham. I watched it a lot last year while I was dealing with my 8 year relationship ending. I understand he's not everyone's favorite.
31. 3 random facts
The first Champagne shown on film came from the champagne house of Piper and Heidsieck. The film was Sons of the Desert by Laurel and Hardy
Amatriciana is a classic Roman pasta sauce fortified with Guanciale (Rich man's bacon). It's fantastic!
Farm raised fish isn't bad for you and it's better for the environment.
37. favourite actor/actress
RDJ. I think his story of recovery is really inspiring
41. relationship status
Single
43. favourite song ever
It's either Run or To Noise Making both by Hozier (of course)
47. turn ons
Honestly this has been difficult to answer. I can't pinpoint why, but I'd say as many times as I've written and re-written this answer, it's enthusiasm.
53. 5 things that make me happy
Wine
Hozier
Baron
Food
Travel
59. why i joined tumblr
All the cool kids were doing it in college.

Speed Run V: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
I actually participated in Barbenheimer when it originally happened but found that i had way to much to say and the entire energy surrounding that event just kind of drowned out my analysis. I wanted to give that phenomena room to breathe because it absolutely deserved it. Barbenheimer will go down as a legit cultural flash point and it deserves every bit of that adulation. It's rare something so weirdly attractive, brings all form of society together in an effort to just enjoy. Barbie is set to hit streaming on September 5th so i figure now is as good a time as any to dig into what turned out to be two of the best films i have seen in years.
Barbie
Tumblr media
If you would have told me that the Barbie movie would be the one to deal with existential dead, i would have laughed in your face. Yet, here we are, talking about a film that has done more for the feminine experience than any third wave feminist podcast to date. When i was watching Ben Shapiro burning Barbies in protest to this excellent film, i just couldn't help but laugh because that type of sh*t was the point. As a film, Barbie is easily one of the best. It has great direction, a brisk pace, fantastic performances, and a clear vision. It's messaging is never bogged down by shallow identity politics, as much as terms like "patriarchy" are thrown around but, let's be honest, of course a film about Barbie is going to focus on the female perspective. It's Barbie. What else would this film be about? Whether you like to hear about the realities of our world or not, the messaging in Barbie has rang true to the tune of a billion dollars at the box office and a number one spot for four weeks straight. Barbie clearly resonated with people across the gender spectrum and party lines so it's always odd to see people bash it for it's "feminist" messaging. Seriously, telling me you hate Barbie at this point is basically telling me you hate women without telling me you hate women. The weakest part of this film was Will Ferrell and his weird Mattel cabal of goons. You could have cut that sh*t right out of this film and nothing would have changed but whatever. Barbie is much, much, better than it has any right to be and it's weird people hate it for being exactly what Barbie has represented herself to be since the goddamn Sixties.
Oppenheimer
Tumblr media
So the enheimer half of Barbenheimer was what got me into the theaters. Barbie had to grow on me but i was on board for Oppenheimer last year after that teaser. It was gorgeous and haunting and everything i never knew i wanted in a biopic of the man who created the Atomic Age. This film did not disappoint. Obviously, the cast as exceptional and weird that Best Supporting Actor can very legitimately come down to RDJ versus Ryan Gosling, but that speaks to the quality of both these films. That said, between Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy for best lead performance of their respective films, I'd give the edge to Cillian. This man kills this performance, acting his ass off. You get a real sense of who Oppenheimer was during each phase of his life; A Stark contrast between before and after those bombs were dropped on Japan. Seriously, that ending was haunting. I've always subscribed to Oppenheimer knowing exactly what he had done. He knew exactly what it meant to drop that bomb. He saw what was coming and that exchange with Einstein at the end of the film was haunting. And he was right. I remember seeing the old footage of Oppy quoting the Mahabharata about how it felt to see his work succeed. The way his face dropped and his eyes glazed over, pulling that locked away memory forward. The say he very methodically spoke those words “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” J. Robert Oppenheimer believed that of himself and Cillian Murphy absolutely embodies that energy in the back end of this film. Absolutely stunning performance and i cannot wait to watch it again.

-
“So,” he begins watching Beatrice place the ornaments on her tree, which wasn’t that big it barely reached his chest, “Your aunt Martha and your father are twins.” she nods, smiling, ripping a box of christmas balls open and turning the small tree around to expose the other side, “And they are the oldest.”
“Yes, then you get my uncle Roberto, then my uncle Elia, my aunt Yvette and my aunt Regina, who’s the Bitch Trio’s mother.” she scoffs, shaking her head, “And my mom has my aunts Fabrizzia, Fernanda, Maria and my uncles Luis and Marcelo. So both sides have a lot of siblings.”
Rooster arched his eyebrows with wonder, trying to figure out how the hell was her childhood like since she had so many aunts and uncles. He doesn’t know how the subject of her family showed up, maybe it was because she was talking about how Christmas was the time they’d all spend together. He knew some people had a lot of relatives, but honestly, he never met one until Beatrice. 
“That’s…a whole lot of people.” she nods while laughing, still arranging her ornaments and thanking him when he hands her another box, “Were they at the wedding? Your mother’s siblings I mean.”
“Some of them were.” Beatrice explains, “Some lived out of state and couldn’t come. They all know my paternal family from childhood, my parents grew up in the same street.” she smiles, adjusting herself on her knees so she’d get a higher branch “And my dad’s move, if you want to call it that, was during a basketball game against the girls from the neighborhood was to steal the ball from my mom’s hand. They started dating soon after.” 
Bradley smiles seeing how her voice softened when speaking about her parents, he knows the feeling, he does get the same way talking about his own, “That’s really sweet.” he doesn’t know much about how his parents met, he didn’t ask his mother especially since it’d bring back painful memories, but Mav always said it was very sweet no matter what. So he accepted that instead of questioning her about it. “And they’ve been together ever since.”
“They have. I mean, they are both sixty-five so…” she counts on her fingers, muttering the numbers to herself, “Forty-eight years? If you count the time they started dating.” 
“That’s a long time.”
“It is, my dad always said he knew they’d get married.” she smiles, shrugging her shoulders, “I always thought it was very romantic.” but before she could complete her sentence, she winced in pain, one of her hands touching her womb with a frown, “Ah, damn it.”
Rooster straightened immediately, “What’s wrong? Everything okay?”
“Yeah,I’m on my period.” she groaned, slowly pushing herself to her feet so she could walk to the kitchen, “My period cramps can be really strong sometimes. I’ll be fine, it’s just a matter of getting something warm.” 
Ah, that explains why she was so tired yesterday when he came over and just fell asleep the second they got back from the Hard Deck. Bradley followed her into the kitchen, frowning when she just held her middle and pressed her forehead on the sink’s cool countertop, “What do you need? I can get it for you.”
“No,no, it’s okay.” she says quickly, “I can do it.”
But he wasn’t convinced, he just stepped closer to her, “Bea,” she groaned again, biting her lower lip, “Maybe you should lie down, I can make you some tea or whatever is it you need.” his girlfriend makes an annoyed noise “How bad is it?”
“It’s like a baby t-rex chewing my insides, Rooster.” her tone was a bit snappy, but he knew she wasn’t mad at him, she then whimpered, turning her body towards him and hugging his middle to which he reciprocated with his arms around her shoulders, “Having a uterus really sucks.” he chuffed out a soft laugh, biting his lip when she glowered up at him with her eyebrows low and lips furled down into a scowl, “Don’t laugh at my demise.”
He held his hands up defensively, “Sorry, sorry, you are right. I shouldn’t do that.” he then leaned down to pick her up by the back of her legs, which immediately wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, Beatrice sighing in relief when he did, “You okay?”
“You are very warm.” comes her muffled voice from his shoulder, pressing herself even tighter against him, “It helps.” well, if it helped he already knew what to do. He took the two of them to her living room and settled onto the couch, still holding her in his arms. Jolene’s sleeping form peeks one eye open when she feels movement in her favored furniture, but relaxes when she sees it’s her two favorite humans who sat down.
He wasn’t the type of guy who wouldn’t understand how painful these things are. His mother raised him to know, respect and understand what a period was. Rooster grew up knowing more than half the guys of his class just because his mother made sure it was something everyone should know. He knew some women had stronger flows to the point they had to go to the hospital, but he wasn’t sure if that was Beatrice’s case, she just seemed to be in a lot of pain but not enough that it was dangerous.
And if he could be her own heating pad, he wasn’t complaining.
Every now and again she’d moan out a soft complaint and hold herself closer to him, curling onto a ball against his chest as the cramps pulsated through her body but then she’d relax and sigh heavily, warming his skin when she did so. Bradley just kissed the top of her head, rubbed her lower back in slow circles knowing it could be helpful “That’s nice.” she mutters, turning her head to look at him from his shoulder.
He smiles, facing her with his hand still moving, “Good, I’m trying my best.” He says, “Is it helping?” she pauses a minute to think, her face scrunching in pain briefly but she nods, “Do you need me to do anything else?” 
“No, just stay here.” she murmurs,tucking her arms between his chest and hers, breathing in his cologne deeply and easing out the breath through her lips “That’s good enough.”
“You sure?”
“Roos, I can’t really understand what you are asking me because I’m trying not to die. So please just, just stay there.”
Bradley couldn’t help the soft chuckle that made its way past his lips, but he kept his hands on her either way. He doesn’t know how long they stay there, just sitting on the couch listening to the sounds from outside and Jolene’s quiet breathing next to them. But Beatrice eventually relaxed completely, rubbing her face with both hands and breathing hard against her palms, dragging them down her face so her eyes could blink up at him, bleary and a bit unfocused.
His brown eyes soften once they meet gazes, tucking a few strands of brown hair behind her ear, “Hey, gorgeous.” she smiles sweetly, leaning into his palm when he cups her cheek, “How are you feeling?”
“I’m better, thank you.” comes her quiet reply as she gives him an apologetic look, “I’m sorry for snapping at you.” it wasn’t even that bad, he thought, but she thought she probably hurt his feelings by lashing out because of the pain.
“Bea, it’s okay. You are in pain and you don’t know how to deal with it.” he shrugs, “So you have some anger because of it. That’s fine?” she makes a quiet noise, furrowing her eyebrows with a look that clearly meant if he was really sure. Bradley tsks, leaning his lower back deeper into the couch and unwrapping her legs from his waist so she could sit sideways on his lap, “It’s fine, Bea. I promise, you didn’t hurt my feelings.”
Beatrice chews her lower lip, dropping her temple on his collarbone as she sighs, “Okay…if you are sure.”
“I’m more than sure.” he chuckles, kissing the top of her head, “You’d need to do a lot more for me to get upset at you. This isn’t something you plan, baby. You can’t plan when it’ll hurt a lot to the point you’ll get too angry and will tell someone to fuck off.” Beatrice giggles gently when he says it, making his chest swell with relief “So, you don’t have to worry. Okay?”
“Okay…” she replies, pressing her cheek to his collarbones, smiling sweetly as she plays with the buttons of his Hawaiian shirt, “You are so understanding.” she comments casually, “Not a lot of guys are.”
He purses his lips, rubbing his thumb on the outer side of her denim covered thigh,” Well, not a lot of guys were raised with a mom like mine.” he laughs, “She set me up for what I’d encounter when I got older, so, “ he finishes his explanation with a shrug, “It’s easier to understand.”
Beatrice looks up at him with hearts in her eyes, her cheeks reddening with a little smile forming over her lips as she stares at his face, not being able to contain how her chest warmed up whenever he spoke. How the hell did she get so lucky? Beatrice leans up to kiss his chin, right on top of the tiny scars he had there, making her way up to his lips, humming happily when they touched, “I still appreciate it.” she says sweetly, “It means a lot to me.”
He knew what she meant, he knew that the reason why she appreciated it so much was because she had a shitty ex who wouldn’t help her out. She never voiced it, but he knew - especially considering what he managed to find out about him- what that piece of shit had done to her before. 
Speaking of which, he also explained to Shells that the red truck had nothing to do with Eric. She was very surprised and confused, as he was when he found out about it, but said that even if it wasn’t related to Eric it was still weird he was trying to win Beatrice over. Of course she used a more colorful language when referring to his antics, repeating she wanted to beat him up and that it was part of their deal.
He hoped that Eric wouldn't show up for a while,Damon said he’d be in the Bahamas or whatever was that he left, as long as he stayed away from Beatrice he’d be fine with it. 
He helped her finish decorating her house, always close to her in case she felt too much pain or just needed a pause. He actually had a lot of fun and since he was taller than she was he could reach areas she had issues with, like above her doors and the windows on the loft.
Beatrice’s soft gasp and clasped hands as she looked around made his heart flutter with affection, she looked so happy, the complete opposite from a few minutes ago and even if she was in pain she didn’t seem to care, “Gosh, it looks!! So good Roos!” she claps her hands excitedly, “Oh I’m so, so happy! Thank you for helping me!”
Bradley just smiles, approaching her from behind to hug her waist, kissing her cheekbone with a soft smack “Anytime, gorgeous. I’m happy I could help.” she’s gently touching her Christmas tree, watching the transparent ornament with the rooster inside move after she nudged it. She leans into his embrace when he drops his chin to her shoulder, moving some hair out of the way so he could kiss her lavender scented neck.
“You did more than you know.” she smiles, turning her head to meet his lips halfway, pulling back when he tries to deepen it, stepping away from his grasp so she could walk back to the kitchen, “Stop looking at my ass.” she calls without turning back, but her boyfriend indeed was looking without any remorse.
“It’s not my fault it’s so nice.” he tries to explain, leaning on the kitchen’s door frame with his hands in his pockets, biting his lower lip with his eyes following her movements around the kitchen, “And just out there for me to look.” Beatrice’s eyes narrow in his direction but her smile is still present as she warms water in her electric kettle, grabbing a tea bag from the cabinet. 
Beatrice shakes her head amusedly, smiling more when his arms return around her waist and he watches with interest as she prepares her tea, “You are terrible.” she says softly, “But I guess that’s why I love you.”
He grins, pressing a kiss to the side of her head, then another to her cheek, “I thought it was because of my breathtaking good looks.” oh he’d never let that live down would he? Beatrice laughs quietly, trying to ignore him the best she could but he was never one to be easily ignored, no matter what, “Or was it something else?”
“I think…I don’t know,” she shrugs, “You are really handsome, and musically talented…but I don’t know, I really liked how you were with your friends I guess. I really liked your smile the first time I saw it.” Beatrice’s cheeks return to it’s usual crimson color as she remembers the scene of him showing up and hugging Payback with a laugh leaving his lips, “And I don’t know, everything else that came after…I really like your hands too.”
“My hands?” she nods, grabbing the said limbs from around her to hold them up, running her fingers on the back of his hands, following the tendons until it reached his wrists. 
“They are very nice.” she says, still drawing random lines on his skin, “And I l-like how um…” she placed her hand on top of his, the size comparison was enough to make her whole body shudder “H-How….. big…..they are.” she said the word so silently he almost didn’t hear her. But he did and he couldn’t help the smirk forming over his lips.
The said big hands returned to her waist, following the tapered part down the flare of her hips, squeezing the meaty part there enough to make her squeak, “Do you?” Beatrice nods mutely, chewing her lower lip with her face red, “That’s news to me.” but he wasn’t mad about it, not at all, this new information could be very useful in the future even more than it already was. The brunette just busies herself in pouring the hot water inside her mug instead of her boyfriend’s known teasing nature. “What else is it that you like about me? I’m so curious now.”
Bea scoffs with a grin, rolling her eyes, “You already know I like everything else about you.”
“Yes, but be specific.” he smiles, “If you could.”
She looks towards him over her shoulder, squinting her eyes playfully at his boyish smirk and amused face, sighing in defeat, “Well…I like your eyes too. And…your neck.” her green irises drop to the column of his throat that was never hidden from her hungry eyes “I really like your neck.”
He was reminded of their first time when she bit his trapezius, the perfect indentations of her teeth were deep on his skin. Clearly not enough to break it, but the bruise stayed there for a good month before it disappeared for real and God it was such a nice souvenir to have when he was gone. Bradley makes a sound deep in his throat, pressing little kisses to her jawline, “Hmm, yeah,I remember it.” he chuckles, nosing the curve of her neck “Anythin’ else? I’m all ears.”
“You are a menace no matter where I look at ,Bradley.” she giggles softly, earning a laugh from him as well and another series of quick kisses to her jawline.
“Do you want to know what’s my favorite part about you?”
“My ass?”
“That too, but,” he taps her ass cheek gently, “I really love your eyes.” The said eyes turn to look at him, long thick lashes fluttering when she blinks, “Yeah, “he whistles low, “Look at those emeralds.” Beatrice gasps out a laugh, repeating the word as if she couldn’t believe it, her cheeks turning into a deeper shade of red than before. “I meant it when I said all you had to do was look at me and I was a goner.”
Beatrice’s gaze mellowed when he spoke, her heart fluttering with butterflies like always, “...yeah I remember.” she whispers, thumbing her mug’s ring over and over as she looks down at her tea, “No one…ever called them that, you know? Emeralds. They always said they were pretty or…” she shrugs “I don’t know it’s…it’s really nice to hear.”
Bradley’s smile softens and he hugs her closer to his chest, closing his eyes as he buries his nose on her neck, “I have a lot of these saved, just for you gorgeous.” he mutters against her skin. He meant that too, if he could tell her all the compliments he had saved up for her he’d never stop talking. Beatrice was sweet, so incredibly sweet and it hurt him to know she hasn’t been complimented or shown that sort of affection before, he knows sometimes she feels awkward when receiving them, her blush is stronger and she tries to play it off but she needs to hear how truthfully beautiful she is.
He waits for her to take a sip from her tea then set the mug back down, “Alright, now.” he picks her up bridal style without warning, making Bea squeak out a yelp of surprise, holding herself up by hugging his neck, “Grab your mug,” he leans close enough for her to get it while still smiling, “And we are going to watch some more Drag Race, how’s that?”
“Sounds perfect.”
-
Beatrice was surprised when she saw Evelyn’s tall frame walking inside the Hard Deck, casually, hands in her jacket’s pockets as she strolled in with her face in a neutral mask, “Ev?” the other woman smiles, lifting her hand in a greeting, “Well, that’s a surprise! What are you doing here?”
Evelyn settles herself on the stool in front of the bar with a soft sigh, then interlaces her fingers on the bartop, “Was in the neighborhood.” she says, giving Penny a nod as a greeting. Beatrice stares at her while she’s wiping a glass, then back to where Rooster and the others were sitting, Jake hasn’t noticed her yet - if he did he played it off really well.
“Yeah?” the brunette smiles, grabbing a water bottle for her friend who immediately opened it to take a sip,”It’s just you’ve been coming…a lot, you know? Shells told me you’ve showed up…um a lot more than you usually would, which was…never.” her friend just sipped her water in response, not answering. Beatrice could see it, even if Evelyn didn’t, that the sudden interest of her coming to the Hard Deck had anything to do with the atmosphere or how she was ‘in the neighborhood’ as she said.
It was all about Jake and herself. And Beatrice’s romantic little heart couldn’t handle how happy she was for her friend. She hoped really hard that whatever this thing with Jake that was currently being developed worked, because he really seems to like her and Evelyn, even in her cool façade, seemed to like him too even if it was a little bit.
“Actually, there’s a reason I came here.” Evelyn says when Shells approaches the bar top, setting the tray down so Beatrice could place the glasses, “We wanna go to the Shootout tomorrow.”
Shootout was a paintball arena close to Northride and one of their favorite pastimes during the weekends if the volleyball practices weren’t available. It was probably the wildes, craziest fun any of them had together, not to mention that the Shootdown was close to The Den so that meant they’d always leave and have a snack before going back to the dorms.
And they would be open until nine pm during weekends.
“Oh, I’m in!”Shells says with a huge smile, bouncing on the spot, “Are you kidding me? How long has it been since we went to Shootout?”
“They were expanding the arena during our final year,” Beatrice adds, “It seems super fun.Is everyone going?” Evelyn nods and Bea looks back at Shells with a little smile, “I’m in too. I’ll just have to talk to Roos about it.”
Shells looks back at the officers, jutting her thumb in their direction, “They could join us,” she suggests, ‘Hey the more the fucking merrier, right? Plus it’ll be amazing to have so many people in a team.”
Beatrice hasn’t considered it, but thinking about it it really seems like a cool idea, she turned her head towards Evelyn to check her reaction and her friend just seemed…neutral. No anger nor surprise, just a neutral cool façade as she took in the news and then she nodded. Wow, she must really be liking Jake because she wouldn’t say yes otherwise. Bea bites her lower lip, letting Shells know she’d tell them she had to take their drinks there anyway.
Once she walks out from behind the bar, Rooster immediately perks up, “Hi,” he coos as she walks past him, his body leaning closer as he holds on the pool cue, trying to follow her with his head, “Aren’t you a sight to sore eyes?”
Beatrice just gives him an eyeroll before giving everyone else their drinks, completely ignoring his antics the best she could, “Evelyn is here,” Jake’s head immediately turned to the bar counter where she was, sipping her water and talking to Penny, “She invited us to go to the Shootout, are any of you interested?”
It was Fanboy who answered, his eyes widening, “Wait, the paintball arena?!” Beatrice nods, smiling at the pilot’s enthusiasm, “I’ve always wanted to go there!” Soon enough it’s a cacophony of supportive answers and positive reactions, they all were game to join. Beatrice sent Shells a smile and a nod, to which the blonde pumped her fist in the air with triumph.
“I’ll let you guys know what time we plan on going,” she says grinning, “It’ll be a lot of fun.”
When the brunette turned to Bradley, who was still looking at her with his eyes low and mouth curved into a little smirk, putting the cue away to follow her back to the bar, “Those pants should be illegal.” she hears him say, quiet enough that only they could hear and Beatrice rolls her eyes again, setting the tray down the bar top.
“If they were that means I’d never wear them again, is that what you want?” she asks casually, but seeing how he just dropped his eyes down the length of her legs she already got her answer. She chuckles, walking around the bar as Rooster sits down in the usual stool he always chose when he wanted to be closer to Beatrice, Shells and Evelyn talking not too far from them.
“So, when were you going to tell me,” he begins, leaning on a hand, “That you liked paintball?”
Beatrice laughs, fixing the bun on top of her head with a shrug, “Oh,I don’t know, I guess it slipped my mind, you know?” he hums, not believing, “I mean, it’ll be fun, we all will have a lot of fun there. And then we can go to The Den, you guys will love it there. It’s the food joint I told you about, it’s right in front of our college.”
Bradley arches his eyebrows, “Really? I didn’t know that.” he was curious now, he had only seen her college’s colors at the game, and the obvious hyena mascot, but he had never seen the actual college itself. Plus, Beatrice seemed very excited, why wouldn’t he be excited too, “So…” he looks around the bar conspicuously, leaning on his forearms, “Shall we make another prize ticket, gorgeous? I could be wrong but I don’t think you’ve used yours yet.”
His girlfriend stilled momentarily but she bit back her smile the best she could, “I’m saving it up.” she explains with a shrug, “Plus what if I win again? Would it be fair to have two tickets in my power?”
He chuckles, dragging his eyes down her body with a soft whistle leaving his lips, “Maybe I’ll win this time.” he says, shrugging, “Make it a bit interesting you know?...but I won’t use it now, I know you are,” he makes a gesture with his hands, referring to her obvious cramps “But I can save it up, just like you are.”
Beatrice’s eyes soften and her smile widens, “You are too sweet, thank you Roos.” he smiles back, his cheeks flushing just the tiniest bit,”But…I’ll think about it, you know? We'll see how it goes tomorrow.” she explains while filling a glass and handing it to Penny who walks out from behind the counter leaving her and Shells to take care of it.
He leans on a fist, following Beatrice with his eyes as she moves about, “It’s just because I still have that idea,” he taps his temple, “Deep within you know? Can’t get it out of my head…I can give you a hint if you’d like, maybe it’ll make you think that winning isn’t that important–”
“Bradley Bradshaw,” she says quietly, feigning offense, “You will not bribe me with whatever it is you are planning, we’ll have to do this the old way, following the rules.”
Evelyn and Shells watch the scene from the other side of the bar, smiling at the interaction with the blonde shaking her head, “God, they are disgusting.” she chuckles, “...but she looks so happy.”
“She does.” Evelyn smiles, her eyes traveling from the couple to a known Texan pilot who was already looking her way, which makes the black haired woman snatch her eyes back in a panic. But Shells sees it and she just smirks down at her.
“You know, you can come up with a lot of excuses as to why you are suddenly interested in coming to this Navy bar,” Shells begins, grabbing another water bottle for Evelyn, “But I know that you know that I know, that it’s because of Hangman.”
Evelyn freezes up, her brown eyes narrowing menacingly towards her friend who looked like the cat who just ate the canary. She parts her lips but nothing comes out, which makes Shells look so infuriatingly pleased that Evelyn feels even more annoyed, “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Oh, come on Simpson, admit it,” she grins, leaning on a fist, “You like him.” Evelyn’s eyes widened again, panic returning as she stares up at the blonde woman, the hold on the water bottle so tight the plastic creaks under her grasp, “Or better yet, let’s make it interesting…we’ll both be in the same team tomorrow but the first one that reaches twenty hit points against the opposite team gets to snatch an answer from the other.”
“What would I even know about you?” Evelyn asks, narrowing her eyes when Shells shrugs.
“I don’t know, I have some skeletons in my closet that not even my aunt knows about.” she holds out her hand wiggling her fingers, “Come on Simpson, is that fear in your eyes? Huh?” Evelyn looks from her hand to her face, jaw moving as she considers it before she sighs heavily and clasps it tightly, holding it for a few seconds then letting it go.
“Deal.” Evelyn mutters, “Best of three rounds?”
Shells smirk only widens, “Best of three.”

Being A Singer Who Is Part Of The Marvel Cast
Pairing: Marvel Cast x reader
Prompt: What it’s like to be a singer who is also a Marvel actress.
Warnings: none! This isn’t really a teen!reader, but it can be!
Side note: I’m using Ari’s music, so just pretend you’re Ari or something😂😂 Should I write imagines about this?
Tumblr media
(Ya’ll already know I had to use my bby Ari😌)
(Gif from Pinterest)
Being a singer and joining the MCU was actually quite nerve wracking.
You weren’t sure if anyone would take you seriously and that everyone would just see you as some singer who got casted into the movie because you were well known.
In fact, Kevin Feige casted you because you represented the character you were auditioning for so well.
You remember your first day on set and how nervous you were to be surrounded by so many talented actors. You kept to yourself and sat by the sidelines while everyone reunited with each other.
I feel like Mark or Robert might come up to you first. They would probably approach you and be all like, “Hey! My kids listen to your music and I have to listen to your voice 24/7! It’s nice to finally meet you!”
Anthony would probably join in and be like, “Aye, I know you from the radio. You sing that one song that’s goes like, ‘I want it, I got it’. Right?”
After some introductions and filming scenes together, you’d feel comfortable with your new friends. Especially after some of them fangirled over you.
Tom (Holland) most definitely fangirled over you, I just feel it😂😂
A few years later they would become your most supportive and dedicated fans (and family).
They’re probably even more dedicated than your fans.
Whenever you drop a new single or a music video, expect them all to share it on every social media account they have.
Tom Hiddleston, who’s barely on social media, would come on just to promote your stuff.
@/ChrisEvans: Hey everyone! Just came to say that @yourtwitterhandle just dropped a new music video and you should all see it! You won’t regret it! Amazing as always @yourtwitterhandle 💙💙💙
@/RobertDowneyJr: The talented and oh so beautiful @yourtwitterhandle just released a music video for her new single! Go ahead and see for yourself to experience the greatness of (y/n)! I’m proud of you sweetheart!❤️
They would even share it on their Instagram stories and post about it because they’re so proud of you🥺
Sebastian and Tom (Holland) would probably post videos of them jamming to your song and yelling at people to listen to it.
Video: Sebastian with 34+35 blasting in the background, “GO LISTEN TO (Y/N)’S NEW ALBUM POSITIONS! DO IT! NOW!”
If you release an album while working on a Marvel movie, they would have little release parties with the whole cast and crew of the movie.
They will have a countdown on some projector and once it hits one everyone would scream and hug you. Then you guys would listen to the whole album with no stops.
When they see you writing in your journal during breaks on set, they would ask if you’re writing new songs.
Sometimes they would even help you brainstorm for lyrics or a concept for a song.
I feel like Evans would be really good at this because he’s good with words.
When they hear you humming something that doesn’t sound familiar they would ask you if it’s a new song.
Scarlett and Lizzie were always excited to hear your stuff.
“Oooo, is that a new song?”
“Come on, (y/n)! Can we get a little snippet please?”
“We promise to not leak it like last time!”
“Yeah! Neither Mark or Tom are here, you’re all good!”
Tom or Mark definitely leaked a few of your songs by accident. Not that they did it on purpose, they just recorded things at the wrong times.
When you sang they would always be quiet and just listen to your voice.
Whenever you hit a high note or sang something that was a bit sassy, there were always some reactions.
Chadwick would really listen to your stuff and just feel the music. When he’s done listening to a song, he would hug you and praise you on how good you did.
Anthony was always your hype man, whether you were singing or answering a question about your music, he will hype you up whenever he can.
“Mmm that’s right, sing it girl.”
“Damn, ya’ll heard that note?!”
“That’s right! Number 1 album in the world, baby. Get with it.”
“Ya’ll heard her right, five Grammy nominations. Gimme some.” He’d brag while fist bumping you.
Sometimes you would catch them singing one of your songs and you would feel all warm and giggly inside because it makes you happy that they enjoy your music.
When you guys aren’t filming and you’re off on tour, they would come to the shows that are in their city or whatever is nearest to them.
Sometimes you wouldn’t even expect them to be there and would be caught off guard while you’re singing.
For example, you were doing a show in New York and all of a sudden you see Paul Rudd just jamming to Thank U, Next in the pit.
“I know they say I move on too fast, but this one gon’ last. ‘Cause her name is— Paul?”
Whenever you guys are promoting new Marvel movies on morning/late night shows, you were always the musical guest.
They were always excited to see you perform. They loved to see you in your element because you always looked like you were having fun and so free. You always stunned them with your talent.
They could never wrap their heads around how you could sing and dance while having so much energy on stage, it truly boggled with their minds.
When they were asked about your music career, they would always say good things because it was true.
RDJ: “She’s just so talented. Like at such a young age, she’s accomplished so much! She’s writing music, releasing album after album, and on top of that she’s working on these films with us! I’m proud of her and proud to say that she’s part of this little family we have. We’re very blessed to have her.”
Brie Larson: “I wish I was like her at that age. I’m so proud of her, she’s a young woman just doing what she loves and not letting people stop her. I’m glad that young girls around the world have her to look up to. She’s going to do amazing things in the future.”
Evans: “Man, have you heard her new album? She really went all in on that one. You know, we’ve seen her grow up into the woman she is today, and you could hear that in her music. I’m glad that we got to experience that and have some kind of part in the legacy she’s building. I hope this means we get to have a musical now.”
Mackie: “That’s our little birdie. Yeah— we call her birdie cause she’s always singing or humming something. You could never have her or Evans together on set, they just burst out singing some random song and everything becomes a musical. No, but in all seriousness, she’s special. The talent she has, you can’t find that in everyone. She’s one in a million.”
They would be so proud of you when you finally win a Grammy or other awards for your music.
There would be videos of them reacting to the moment your name is called for awards like, Album of the Year or Artist of the Year.
When you guys have karaoke night, everyone would fight for you to be on their team.
You could’ve been your own team, but there was no fun in that.
You were like the last donut with red, white, and blue sprinkles (If you know where that’s from, I love u)
“Robert, she was on your team last time! You can’t have her twice!”
“Watch me, Evans.”
“Ayo! Hold up! Sebastian and I barely get to have (y/n) on our team!”
“You boys are childish! (Y/n)’s going to be on my team with Brie and Lizzie.”
Being part of the Marvel family was one of the many things you were grateful for in your career.
They gave you so much love and support as if they were your real family and you loved them all so much.
Even when their times with Marvel were done, they would still be there to support you no matter what, because they were your number one fans.

Marvelous Friends part 1
Summary:  You join your best friend at a party, and meet the man of your dreams?
Characters: Reader, Benedict Cumberbatch x Sophie Hunter, RDJ x Susan Downey, Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans
Warnings: cursing, reader in over her head, bad writing...
Tumblr media
“Oh, for fuck’s sake Aaron, you are supposed to be preventing these things, not causing them“ you scream into your cell phone so agitated by this whole thing that you aren’t even aware that there are people watching you from the window.
You stepped outside trying to not cause a scene or god forbid have Sophie’s kids hear you and repeat anything you might say.  You finally hang up and throw your phone across the lawn as Benedict comes out the door to check on you. 
“Everything ok dear?” he approaches you with a smirk knowing full well that you are irritated beyond rational conversation.  “Can I get you anything?” he asks.  Turning to face him now that you’ve taken a few deep breaths, 
“I think I need a new manager, got any good ones lying around?” you reply.  
“Holy Shit!  That was your manager!  I just thought your husband  was in the doghouse!  Hi, I’m Robert” he sticks out his hand and you shake it, thankfully you are still too riled up to get star struck and make a fool of yourself.  
“Hi, sorry, I didn’t intend to be that loud, but that man is an absolute jackass!  I’m Y/N” you respond as you blow out some air and try to calm down.   
“Y/N darling, you need a drink, let me make you a martini” 
“No, Benny, I’m your babysitter tonight and you know one martini turns into 5” you smirk as you follow  the two of them back into the house.  
Sophie is coming down the stairs and her smile disappears when she sees your red face and Benedict heading toward the kitchen. “Y/N, what happened?  Are you ok?” she asks, her voice thick with worry.  
“Oh Phie, I’m fine, Aaron is just trying my patience and I couldn’t stay quiet” you smile as she wraps you in a hug, then busts out laughing.  
“Well, that’s a long time coming, I’m not sure how you have worked with him this long without bloodshed” she quips as Benedict hands you a cup of tea.  
“I’m not that bad to work with, I just don’t like my personal life to be used without my permission. Ugh, I just don’t have the energy for him today, I wanted to come and have fun with Kit, Hal & Finn” you whine as you sip your tea “but apparently the drama pays off because this is the best cup of tea Benny has ever made for me, thank you” you reach up and peck his cheek “I’m feeling better already.” 
“Good, because the boys have a list of fun for you tonight and they are extremely excited.” Sophie responds “Oh, and this is Susan, Robert’s wife”  
“It’s nice to meet you, now you all go on and have a lovely dinner and don’t worry about us” you smile to the couples as you head upstairs to check on the kids. 
Tumblr media
Three hours later the two couples walk back into the house to find you frantically typing on your laptop at the breakfast bar in the kitchen, with a cold cup of tea next to you.  You jump when you hear someone clear their throat, not realizing they had come in and were all staring at you.  
“What? Why are you all staring at me?” you ask.  
Sophie shakes her head and giggles at you “we asked if you wanted to join us for a drink, apparently you are very focused on your work and didn’t even hear us come in.”   
“Sorry, I was planning my wedding” you reply with a smirk “Kit proposed again, actually, I’m not sure this was a proposal, it was more or less a list of reasons why my previous decline is not being accepted.  Apparently, age is just a number and I can move to England right away, so the wedding is next week” you explain as you follow the others over to the bar.   
Benedict turned around with a guilty look on his face, “what did you do?” his wife asks with a pointed glare.   “I was reassuring our son that if he liked someone and made his intentions known then any girl would be lucky to have him, but in my defense, I thought he was talking about that little girl down the street, Madison.   They were playing yesterday and he seemed smitten, so when he mentioned his love living in the US and not in England…..I was trying to help” he huffed out as he started pouring the drinks.   
You all start laughing and realize that since it’s Benedict’s fault, he will have to break it to Kit that you will not be marrying him next week.  “Why do I have to be the bad guy here?  It was an accident!” Ben protests “and why didn’t you just tell him you have a boyfriend already and can’t marry him?”  
“Because I would never lie to Kit” you respond, sipping your martini.   “I haven't really met anyone since I moved back from Vancouver, a few dates here or there but no one to write home about" you say with a shrug  “Well, in that case, can I give you away at the wedding?”  Robert asks and thankfully lightens the mood.  It was another two hours of drinking and laughing with your oldest and newest friends before you all decide to call it a night.   
“Y/N, Robert and I are having friends over to our place on Sunday, we would love for you to be there” Susan states as they are heading toward the door.  “That’s so sweet, thank you, I’ll just tag along as an extra Cumberbatch” you tell her as you hug her goodbye. 
Tumblr media
You wake the next morning and know that you have a ton of work to do and 0 motivation.   Deciding to distract yourself as best you can, you text Sophie about the party at Susan & Robert’s.
So what kind of party is this thing tomorrow?
Phie: They usually have 30 or so people, tons of food, drinks, but very laid back.  I think you will like it 
That’s reassuring, the last thing I need is to make a fool out of myself in front of Ben’s celebrity friends
Phie: Oh, there will definitely be celebs there, but honestly I have no idea who, most likely a bunch of the Marvel crew, those who are in town anyway….but don’t stress, they are all  mostly normal people, lol
Well, I’m going to work on some writing and then maybe try to find something nice to wear to the party, I might make a fool of myself, but I need to look like I have my act together
Phie: Send me pics, I’ll help you decide….btw Ben has been questioning me on your dating habits, I have a funny feeling that he might try to set you up...
Well, that sounds dreadful,  I love your husband but what is his track record for match making?
Phie: I don't think he's actually ever tried to set anyone up before
Fantastic, I'm the guinea pig 🙄
 Ok, what do you think of these, I don’t want to be overdressed or look like I’m homeless
Tumblr media
Phie: I love them both, but how about you were the short one & I borrow the blue one?  
That is a great idea!  I’ll be there a bit early so we can get ready together.  Who is staying home with the boys?
Phie: Actually, day time parties with the Downey’s usually includes the kids, so they will be joining us
Time for the party came earlier than you had anticipated as you pulled up to Phie’s house, Kit came running out the door with a big smile on his face.  Crouching down you scooped him into a hug and kissed his cheek.  
“Well aren’t you in a good mood today, handsome?” asking as you set him back down.  He grabbed your hand and began dragging you back to the house. 
 “Mum told me we can’t get married next week, but I can still love you for the rest of my life, isn’t that great!” he exclaimed as you walked in the front door.  
“That is the best thing I’ve heard all week!  And I get to love you for the rest of my life too” you reply watching the realization hit him and his smile get even bigger and run off to tell everyone the good news.  Before you could do anything, you went back out to your car and grabbed your bags and then headed up to Phie’s bedroom to get ready.  
“There you are, I was beginning to worry” she said as she pecked your cheek and gave you a hug, then handed you a glass.  
“Did you start day drinking without me?” you inquire as you sip on the merlot with a smile on your face.  
“I just opened the bottle for us to enjoy while we get ready.  I spoke with Kit and the wedding is off but he understands and all is well.  Benedict tried and, just made everything messier” she responded while pulling the blue dress from the garment bag.  
“You did a fantastic job, he gave me the biggest hug and seems very happy that we will not be getting married” you giggle as you move around her room figuring out the best place to put your things.  
“I think he’ll be more upset about you taking off next week than anything, that’s why I’m not planning on telling him until after you’ve gone.  He has grown really attached to you” she smirks as she’s slipping the dress on.  
Before you realize it, the wine bottle is empty and Ben is knocking on the door.
“You two look amazing as always, but the car is here, so we need to head out.  Can you bring Kit down with you while I go down and get Hal & Finn seated in the car?” he asks as Kit comes in and gasps looking up at his mom.   
“Mum, you look like a princess” he hugs her legs and looks up at her lovingly. 
 “Thank you love, you look very handsome.  Are you ready to go? Do you have your bag?” she asks while rubbing his back.  
“Oh, I need to get that, and can I give Y/N her present now?”  You look over a bit confused 
“oh Kit, you didn’t have to get me a gift” you tell him as he gives you a hug.   
“But it’s important to show the people you love how special they are, I’ll be right back” he states as he heads back downstairs.  You look at Sophie confused and she just smirks at you as both follow him down to the kitchen.   He holds up a cupcake with a huge grin on his face.  
“This is for you, because you are as sweet as a cupcake.  And that’s a ring you can wear to remind you that you are wonderful when I’m not here to tell you.” 
Tumblr media
 You feel like you are about to cry, it was by far the most sincere and thoughtful thing you have ever heard.  “Thank you!  I love it & I love you!” you told him as you kissed his forehead and put the ring on.  
“Alright, let’s get going Kit, dad and your brothers are in the car waiting for us!” Sophie grabbed his hand and laced your arm with hers as she ushered you all out the door. 
Tumblr media
Stepping out of the car at the Downey’s house you started walking towards the door when Kit came up and grabbed your hand.  
“Can I be your date tonight?” he asked with a shy grin.  
“Absolutely!  There’s no one else I would want to accompany me tonight.”  
Ben turns to you, holding Hal & Finn “remember Kit, the kids are going to be playing upstairs, but you can join us when you get hungry, alright?”  
“Yes, dad, but Y/N is still my girl” he stated proudly as you walked through the door.  
“That’s right Ben, I’m Kit’s girl!” you lean down and kiss the top of his head just before he heads up the stairs with his dad.  Sophie grabbed your arm and the two of you headed further into the house.  
Robert spotted you almost immediately and came over hugging you both “where is the fiance? Are all the details in place for the ceremony?  I’m still walking you down the aisle right?”  
“Hi Robert, I’m sorry but the ceremony has been cancelled.   Sophie was able to talk some sense into Kit since Benny was useless” you reply.  
“I heard that!” Ben remarks as he’s coming into the room.   “And in my defense, I’m not useless, just not very good at telling my son no.”  
“It’s alright dahling, you tried your best.” Sophie tried to console Benedict who seemed to take your statement to heart.  
“Well, I’m glad you made it, can I get you a drink?” Susan asked as an attempt to move on to a more neutral conversation.   
“Yes, please” you replied happily as you followed her to the bar.  
“Y/N? Y/N L/N?  Holy Shit!”  You heard from the doorway to the next room, where most of the party goers had already gathered.  You turned and was shocked 
“Seb?  Holy Shit!  How are you?” you asked as you moved over to hug him.  “It’s been so long, I’m surprised you recognized me.”  
“I’m good” he responded “and yea, it’s been like...10 years? And you look great, haven’t aged a bit!”  
You laughed at his response “that is an absolute lie, but I will take the compliment anyway.” you giggle at him.  He was always such a nice guy to work with and genuinely considerate to everyone on set.  His charming personality always made you smile. 
“This is so great running into you, I saw your interview on Good Day LA last week.  You are doing so great!” he said with a huge smile.  
“Oh thanks, but I think that may have been the worst interview in the history of television.   I was honestly hoping no one saw it” you cringed rethinking how quickly the questions had gone off the rails.  You are a writer, becoming more well known over the past decade so interviews were becoming more common for you, but that one felt more like a Twilight Zone episode.  
“Well, it was a bit crazy, but you handled a lot better than most people would.  I was impressed” he grinned as he took a sip of his beer.  
“Thanks, I appreciate that, and my whole deer in headlights reaction.” you commented as you took the drink Susan offered.  
“Hey, I didn’t know you knew each other?” you heard Robert say as he came up from behind you “and what happened in the interview?”  
“Yea, I was writing for Gossip Girl, back when Seb was on and he was constantly teasing me for being cold” you reminded him with a smirk.  
“New York in fall is beautiful, not cold! You are crazy!” he responds as he starts laughing at me.  
“And the interview was a shit show that I barely made it out alive” you state with a roll of your eyes.  
“That’s not true, you put that woman in her place and didn’t seem fazed by her ridiculous questions at all” he told me.  
“What the hell happened?” Robert seemed more interested than I thought he would 
“we were talking about my new book and the book tour coming up, then all of a sudden she’s asking me about my ex” I responded as I shrugged my shoulders.  Sebastian looked at me “then, the woman asks if she’s seeing anyone now, and your response was priceless, I might steal it if you don’t mind”  he states as he’s laughing remembering the interview.  
“Y/N, dear, what did you say?” Robert asks with a smirk.  
“I asked her ‘why? Are you shooting your shot?” as you start laughing too, realizing that you probably couldn’t have planned it if you tried.  At this point you realize there are more of the Marvel friends standing around listening to your conversation and you don’t even care.   
Your first drink is kicking in and it’s not like you are ever going to see these people again. “Honestly, I don’t know why she even mentioned my ex, nobody cares who I’m dating, I’m a writer”  
“Yes, but when us writers date high profile celebrities, people want to know” Sophie reminds you as she puts her arm around you.  
“Oh Phie, high profile is a bit of a stretch doncha think? But you are always my voice of reason, this is why I love you!” you say as you kiss her cheek.  Looking around the room you wonder if there’s anyone else here you know, when you see Chris Evans on the other side of the room.  
Benedict immediately follows your line of sight and smirks before taking your empty glass.  “I think you need a refill, here allow me, why don't you and Sophie go find a place to chat.”  
His wife shakes her head and gives you a small sympathetic smile before sending him back for refills.  Sophie drags you further into the room and finds a spot to sit that gives you a better view of Mr. Evans.  
“I didn’t realize you knew Sebastian” she said as she sat.  
“Yea, we worked together when I was living in NY, that was 10 or 12 years ago.  I didn’t know you knew him” you respond.  She looks at you questioningly, then shakes her head.  
“All the Marvel people know each other, you still haven’t watched the movies, have you?”  
“Um, I haven’t seen all of them, there are a lot, but I did watch Doctor Weirdo, and Benny was very good!” you respond quite proud of yourself.  
“Bloody hell!  It’s Doctor Strange, we’ve had this discussion before” Ben states as he hands you your fresh drink.  
“Ok, I’m sorry.  Doctor Strange, although I don’t think that’s much better than Doctor Weirdo.  And in my defense, your facial hair in the movie gave me nightmares'' you say as you sip on your drink. 
“Anyway, did the ex contact you after the interview?  I’m just curious?” Ben asks, rolling his eyes at you.  
You scrunch up your nose at the question “no, why would he? I haven’t spoken to him in the last four years. And honestly I'm sure he deleted my number.  Can we talk about anyone else?"  
"Yes, what's the schedule on the book tour? How long will you be gone?" Sophie acts trying to defuse the irritation in your voice with the mention of your ex.  
You can tell by the way she's glancing at her husband that she's trying to figure out why he brought up your ex knowing full well that if he had contacted you, she would have been the first one to know about it.. 
"Oh I'm flying out next Sunday, heading for NYC, then I'll be in Boston for 2 days, then a day In Philly, a day in Baltimore and I'm not 100% of the cities after that, other than ending up the following week in Miami so I can be with the family for spring break" you mention to them. 
"Did I hear you say you are only going to Boston for 2 days, that's not nearly long enough" you hear a deep voice state as you look up and see Chris Evan's standing next to Seb and walking closer to you.  
Holding out his hand "I'm Chris, I don't think we've met" he states.  
You plaster the most sincere smile you can on your face in hopes of not drooling at the sight of him, shaking his hand "I'm Y/N, and yes, this tour is only 2 days in Boston, but I lived there for 5 years so I’ve seen quite a bit already” you respond.
“Huh?  For someone who’s cold all the time, you seem to wind up in colder climates” Seb laughs at you.  “Shut up! You are the worst!” you respond with a laugh.  
“It’s true though, darling.  And you always call me to complain about it!” Sophie responds with a smirk.  
“OK, in my defense, Boston was a needed escape from my family, whom I love dearly but can be quite suffocating at times.  Then Chicago was my first real job after graduation and I couldn’t pass that up!  And as my best friend, Phie, you are required to listen to all my complaining, regardless of the topic” you state matter of factly.  
“And last year in Vancouver, that was the worst yet, she would send me photos of eyelashes with ice crystals on them” Sophie laughs remembering your first winter in Canada and how miserable you were.  
“That was awful and you and Benny both ridiculed me, I’m still emotionally scared”  
“So, you don’t like the cold but keep torturing yourself?” Chris asks with a smirk.  
“It appears I do, but it’s always for good reason. Chicago was an opportunity I couldn’t resist, if I had taken that job, I probably wouldn't have published my first novel” you explain with fondness.  
“That’s not true, Y/N.  Your first novel was incredible and it would have been published eventually”  Ben states as he takes your empty glass.  
“Benedict has read my book?” you asked Sophie completely shocked.  
“He has read all of your novels, but I think the first 3 was trying to find juicy gossip on how we met or something to try and blackmail you later, I’m not quite sure” she responds with a shrug.  ��
“Hold on” Seb interjects “your book, Searching for more, is about Sophie?” 
“Yes, and no” you respond “the adventure that Annabell has is loosely based on my summer after high school before moving to Boston.  And her new found friend, Fiona, is Sophie to a T!  And I’m also shocked that you’ve read it” you eyed him suspiciously.  
“Ok, so you really married a French man when you were 18 and brought him back with you?”  Seb asks, completely disregarding that you questioned him about reading the book.  How did your day turn out like this?  This was the most surreal moment you have had in a long time.  
“No, he wasn’t French, he was Belgian!” Benedict responds as he comes back in with refills.  You start laughing when you see the way Chris and Seb are staring at you wide eyed.   
“Oh my gosh!  No, I didn’t get married when I was 18.  And Benny, you weren't there, you don’t know anything” shaking your head.  “Annabelle’s story is loosely based on events that occurred, we didn’t get married…..and he was Swiss, I think.” you snicker when you look over at Sophie for confirmation, she shrugs and takes a drink.    
The five of you continue to chat for another hour or so when you feel a tap on your shoulder.  You turn to see Kit smiling at you with a cup in his hand “I missed you” he states as he climbs up into your lap and hugs you around your neck.  
“I missed you too little man, do anything fun while you were upstairs?” you asked as he made himself more comfortable.  
“I didn’t know you had a kid” Seb says as you are trying to balance the 5 year old in your lap with your drink in your hand.  
Kit looks up at him “she’s not my mum, she’s my girl!  That’s my mum” he states as he points to Sophie.  
“Oh, well, it’s nice to meet you, I’m Seb, this is my friend Chris.  What’s your name?”  he asks while Kit plops himself in the middle of the group as though he should have been there all along.  
“I’m Kit” he states as he extends his hand to both Chris and Sebastian.  
“So, she’s your girl, huh?” Chris asks with a smirk “is it serious?”  
“Very!  He gave me a ring today, see.” showing Chris your right hand and the Wonder Woman ring. 
“Wait a minute, the wedding is cancelled, but you still gave her a ring? I’m not sure that’s how it works buddy”  Robert kneels down talking to Kit.  
“it’s ok, I get to love her forever and we can get married when I’m 30!” Kit explains as he rushes off to join the other kids.  
You all turn and look at Sophie “I thought you fixed it Phie!  You’ve just given him a deadline!" you gasp. 
She smiles at you with a guilty look on her face "I think you might need to grab a bite to eat before you have another drink. And honestly, I'm sure he will forget all about this in a few months. Besides, I won't let my 30 year old son marry some 60 something year old hag that's after him for his money!" she states as seriously as possible. 
You deadpan "thanks for that. I need a new best friend" you roll your eyes and head towards the food. 
"Well, I didn't see that coming" Robert chuckles as he watches the two of you walk out of the room. 
Tumblr media
"That actually went better than I expected" Ben responds and shakes his head, "those two are worse than siblings." 
A/N: I had an idea of who the ex is, but I may just leave it open for interpretation, he does come into the story later, but can remain faceless

Meant to Be
Chris Evans Oneshot
Tumblr media
Summary: In which you and Chris are meant to be, in one life or the other
Pairings: Chris Evans x Reader
Warnings: Mentions of an age gap, angst, mentions of death, this is so sad but listen to this song while reading to have your heart ripped out
Tumblr media
you glared at the back of chris’ head, or rather the back of his plane seat.
you were mad, and you were mad because you didn’t even have the right to be mad.
he hadn’t done anything wrong, technically. if you subtracted the fact that he had broken up with you months ago and had started dating a new woman shorty after then yes, chris evans had been perfectly innocent.
but no, instead it had been you that messed up. it had been you that couldn’t keep her fat mouth shut, word vomiting all over chris just before the plane ride.
you still cringed as you remember the moment.
you were standing outside of the airport, all cast members of the avengers headed to tokyo for press and interviews.
chris had been standing alone and for some reason, you had decided to take your final shot. you walked straight up to him, puffed out your chest, and blurred out how you were still in love with him like an idiot.
honestly, if you could have picked a time for an asteroid to suddenly destroy the earth then that would have been it.
there were no words to explain the awkwardness of your words, and how chris’ face looked as he gently explained to you that he was with someone now.
someone that wasn’t you. someone that wasn’t twenty years younger than him, someone more mature and most importantly, someone that wanted all the things he wanted.
you had to admit, it stung.
it stung bad that the only reason he broke up with you was because of your age.
“we’re too different,” he had said, “you’re only twenty and i’m almost forty. we just don’t want the same things anymore.”
what he meant to say was that he just didn’t want you anymore. and it killed you, it tore you apart everyday that you had lost the love of your life over a damn number.
what was a couple years when you had a romance like yours and chris’? you were so happy together. you had so much fun. there was never a dull moment and you loved each other so passionately, so deeply, that everybody you met would comment on it.
or, at least that’s what you thought.
but months later you were still left with a bitter taste in your mouth when you remembered that wasn’t your reality anymore.
he wasn’t yours anymore.
“you okay kid?” rdj looked at you worriedly as you bit the inside of your cheeks to keep from crying.
“no,” you whispered lowly so that chris or anyone else couldn’t hear you. “i did a stupid thing today. before we got on the plane, i...”
“ah. that,” robert winced as he reminisced the moment, and the awkward silence that followed.
“yes, that,” you sniffled, still staring at chris’ head. “i-i can’t believe i did that. i’m so stupid. chris was right — how would he ever want me back when i keep acting like a child?”
“hey,” rdj frowned and shook his head. “you’re not stupid. you were emotional. it happens to the best of us.”
“does it really?” you wonder, not believing it. “because right now, it seems like i’m the only one suffering.”
it was true — chris seemed absolutely fine. you never saw him crying in the tabloids after the breakup. you never saw him posting sad quotes on social media or shutting down completely.
in fact, it was the opposite. he seemed happier without your relationship. happier without you.
a sob bubbled up in your throat. you quickly ran for the bathroom.
chris and rdj both frowned at your disappearing figure, but chris also felt a pang of sadness.
he couldn’t help it, — how could he? you were once upon a time the absolute light of his life. for two years, you were his anchor. his rock. his pride and joy, the reason he wanted to come home every night.
chris had loved you with everything in his being. more than any woman he had ever before. you were the love of his life, but you were also someone he had let go.
to this day, he still didn’t know why he did it.
he didn’t know why he left you in hysterics that faithful day, begging him for an explanation. begging him not leave.
it still hurt when he thought about it. it still haunted his dreams, still caused him to twist his face in pain.
he hated hurting you. he always did.
but in a way, letting you go was to help you more than hurt you.
he knew that you were significantly younger than him. but still, he had tried to fool himself into thinking you could both work when it was clear you wanted different things.
chris wanted a family. he was ready to settle down, ready for you to get married and have children.
but you weren’t.
like any twenty year old, you wanted to party and see the world and maybe adopt a dog. but kids? marriage? you had barely experienced anything. you wanted more time, you had begged him to give you more time, but time wasn’t something chris had.
he wasn’t getting any younger.
but you were. you still had a young and fighting spirit and chris didn’t want to dampen it by forcing you into a life you weren’t ready for.
so he ended it.
he met another woman. they talked, they wanted the same things.
chris was happy. or at least, he tried to tell himself that. he tried to tell himself that he loved his girlfriend, loved that she wanted everything he wanted. he loved that he could finally have the life he’d always wanted.
only...it wasn’t.
because you weren’t in it.
-
the plane rocked vicicously as you stumbled back to your seat, eyes red.
thankfully, nobody decided to comment on it but you could see the frown on scarlet’s face and the concern on jermey’s. you could feel anthony wanting to say something, but he was right by chris and he didn’t wanna risk any drama.
not now. you all were supposed to be happy — you were promoting the biggest movie of your lives!
but excitement hardly reached you at all. hardly touched you at all, sadness blocking away any positive emotions.
“you okay?” robert asked again as you sat back down.
you stared at the floor for a moment before letting out a small nod. “i will be,” you said, not bothering to hide your voice this time.
chris frowned at this. he gripped the seat a little tight as the plane shook again.
“why don’t you relax?” rdj suggested, “have some water. try to get some sleep. we’ll be in tokyo soon.”
“where are we now?” you asked, trying to distract your mind.
“i think maybe...somewhere over indonesia? i dunno, the pilot didn’t specify. she just said—”
“ah!”
robert was cut off by the plane shaking again, but this time, it was more deadly.
you jolted to the left, a scream escaping your lips as you went flying out of your seat.
it had seemed you had forgotten to put your seat belt back on once you got back to your seat, and you tumbled into the aisle as the plane tilted in a deadly position.
“y/n!” oxygen masks were quickly administered to everybody on the plane. anthony had to fight chris to put on his, stopping him from taking off his seat belt and helping you.
“chris, no! you need this!”
“like hell! y/n needs me!” chris panicked as he saw your frame go flying.
scarlet screamed as the plane began to twist, the terrified voice of pilot administering the worst news possible.
“the engines have failed! the plane can no longer support itself! we’re going down!”
robert tried his best to reach out for you; to grab you and pull you to safety.
but it was as no use. the plane hit something hard and in a split second your body disappeared as the plane was literally torn apart.
the last thing he remembered was chris screaming for you before it all went black.
-
chris didn’t know how long it was before he finally woke again.
all he knew was that when he did, everything hurt like hell.
he groaned as the aches began to spread in his body, slowly peeling his eyes open to face the bright sunlight.
“h-hello?” his voice was horse. weak. “i-is anybody there?”
he cried out as he tried to move and felt pain emitting from his side. but as painful as it was, he knew he had to get up.
“chris?!”
several frantic voices called out his name, gasps echoing throughout the air. he moaned as someone dropped down beside him, the embrace that they pulled him into causing pain to shoot all over his body.
“oh my god, he’s alive!”
the voice belonged to scarlet. he could vaguely make out her blonde hair, and her figure as she stood over him.
“chris?”
anthony sooned joined her. “is that you buddy? can you hear us?”
“loud and clear,” chris moaned out. “w-what happened? why does everything...hurt?”
the only thing he remembered was seeing you run to the bathroom. and then, it all just went blank as if someone had erased his memories.
anthony’s face was as serious as he had ever seen it. but even more than that, it was grim. full of worry and hurt.
scarlet was the same. she had tears in her eyes and dirt on her expensive clothes that didn’t belong there. chris furrowed his eyebrows.
“we...” anthony swallowed thickly. “we were in a...crash. the engines — they stopped working. we barely had time to prepare before the plane...”
“oh my god,” chris was suddenly alert, panic filling very inch of him as he sat up.
he remembered now. he remembered seeing your figure flying all over the plane because you didn’t have a seat belt on. he remembered reaching for you, yelling your name and screaming for you.
he remembered begging any god that would listen to spare you before he blacked out.
“y/n!”
his eyes widened in horror. where were you?! he searched the premise quickly.
you weren’t anywhere sight. along with robert, jeremy, and hemsworth you were missing.
chris felt a feeling of absolute dread wash over him.
“no,” he whispered, quickly standing up. he ignored every pain in his body. he ignored scarlet and anthony’s warnings to take it easy.
he didn’t care. he didn’t care about himself anymore. his focus is was on you, and where the hell you were at the moment.
“y/n!” he yelled again, shaking his head frantically. “where is she? WHERE IS SHE?!”
both scarlet and anthony flinched at his tone. never, and they meant never, had chris yelled at them before.
“she’s alive,” scarlet answered immediately, trying to calm a frantic chris. “she’s alive, but...”
“it’s not looking good, pal,” anthony’s voice cracked, causing chris’ stomach to sink. “we found her but...she wasn’t wearing a seat belt. and when the plane crashed...she got stuck under some rubble.”
“oh god,” chris felt he was gonna be sick. “can i see her? where are the others? are they helping her? take me to her!”
“robert, jeremy and chris are all alive,” scarlet said. “they’re trying their best...”
scarlet’s voice fell on deaf ears as chris decided to just go see for himself. he was tired of them dancing around it. he wanted to see you. he wanted to know that you were okay, that you were alive.
“y/n!”
scarlet and anthony yelled after him but he paid them no mind, running through the rubble to find you.
the entire plane that they rented for you guys was in pieces. the wings had been ripped off, the cockpit was miles away, and the back of the plane, where you were sitting, was scattered everywhere.
“y/n!” chris tried again, his voice nearly going hoarse from yelling so loud.
but then this time, he did get a response.
he whipped around as someone called out his name, but disappointment filled his veins as he saw that it was only jermey.
“chris, buddy...” rdj and chris hemsworth ran up to him, holding him back.
“chris, you don’t need to see this,” hemsworth told him grimly.
so that meant you were nearby. but where?
scarlet said you had been trapped under some rubble. but what chris expected time was maybe a seat, or a small piece of metal.
a strangled cry left his throat as he saw that you were trapped under one of the plane wings.
“y-y/n,” nobody could stop him as he fell to his knees by your head, the only visible part of your body.
you didn’t even know what to say as the love of your life came into view.
you wanted to say everything — so much — but your body was on fire.
if chris thought he had it bad, then you were ten times worse.
not only were your legs pinned, but also your ribs and your left arm. the only thing that hadn’t been trapped was your right arm, which was completely numb, and your head.
you were still conscious, but not by much.
you could feel it.
the sensation everyone always talked about. the tingling in your brain. the white light behind your eyes.
you were close.
“c-chris,” so help you god, you were not gonna leave this earth without speaking to him one last time. you had said your goodbyes to everybody else. as soon as they realized that they couldn’t get the metal off of you — that they weren’t strong enough, and that help wasn’t coming — you had decided to make peace with your remaining breath.
but not with chris. with chris, you didn’t want peace. you wanted love and the happiness of seeing his eyes one last time.
“y/n...” the strangled sob that left his lips wasn’t human. it was gutural, animalistic. chris was crying out for you, he was in pain. “no!”
“i don’t...have much time,” you sputtered out pathetically, blood spilling out of your mouth. “i-i’m dying.”
the revelation was clear to see, but chris still refused to accept it.
“no!” he repeated the word once again. “no, you’re not dying! y/n, you can’t die!”
“c-chris please,” black spots began to cloud your vision. but chris didn’t give up.
“what are you all just standing there for?!” he glared angrily at his friends. “help me! help me get this shit off of her!”
everyone stared at chris with a gutted look in their eyes. they turned away as he tried to lift the wing, as he tried to accomplish what they already failed at hours ago.
“mate, we tried...” hemsworth sniffed. “it’s not coming up.”
“no!” chris turned to him with such fury, such denial that it actually made hemsworth stumble back. “no, you don’t get to decide that! you don’t get to just stand there while she’s dying!”
“we didn’t!” rdj quickly stepped in. “we tried to help.”
“well then try again!” chris snapped again, pushing against the metal. scarlet sobbed as it stayed in the same place.
“t-they know it w-won’t help,” your sad voice whispered out, causing chris to pause. “t-they know i-i’m a goner anyways.”
“don’t say that,” chris sobbed as he dropped to your side again, hands reaching out to stoke your numb cheek. “don’t say that you’re dying. you’re gonna be fine...you’re gonna be f-fine.”
you could tell that even he didn’t believe it. the damage was too extensive. there was no way you were getting out of there alive.
“t-tell my family that i l-love them,” you mumbled, coughing up blood. “and sebastian a-and tom and—”
“don’t,” chris cut you off. “don’t do this.”
he wore the expression of a man being burned alive. he was in pure agony, pain clawing at every inch of him. consuming him faster than it was taking you.
“r-remember that,” you ignored him, the ringing in your ears getting louder. “remember that i love...you.”
there it was.
chris finally broke upon hearing these words. so painful for you to spit out, but yet they were important enough to waste your last breaths on. he was important enough.
“i love you too,” chris broke down, sobs racking his body as he held your hand. “i love you, so much. more than you’ll ever know. i love you for everything that you are. you’re the love of my life. i can’t live w-without you baby.”
“y-you don’t have to...s-say it back...” you gave him a pained smile. “just because i-i’m dying...i know you love h-her now. s-she’s your f-future. i-i’m just sorry we never h-had a chance,” your eyes began to flutter.
“no, no, no, no!” chris whimpered. “it was never her, baby. i don’t love her. it was always you. you’re my future. p-please y/n, you’re the mother of my kids. you’re my wife. it was always gonna be you, no matter what,” he shook his head. “always and forever, we’re meant to be.”
“m-meant to be,” you stuttered out, a ghost of a smile on your face. if you had to die again, you’d happily go out with those words being the last thing you ever heard.
chris bawled as he watched the light finally leave your eyes and your body slump. you almost looked peaceful, as if you were smiling in your sleep, but he knew better.
the love of his life was gone.
“chris? chris? look at me!” robert grabbed chris by the shoulders as he started hyperventilating, pounding at the soil with his fists. “look at me, buddy!”
“she’s gone,” chris cried as robert held him in his arms, “s-she,”
his eyes began to flutter close as he struggled to get the words out. suddenly, it became harder to breathe. black spots clouded his visions and chris’ body began shutting down with every breath, unable to cope with your death.
“what’s happening?!” anthony yelled as chris painfully slumped over, his body going limp in robert’s arms.
shakily, the older man held two fingers to his neck and prayed that he wasn’t gone, too. he prayed that the universe didn’t take chris and you, all in one day.
but they knew.
they knew the minute he pulled his hand back, dropping his head lowly in defeat. they knew before he even opened his mouth. they knew as he pulled away, resting chris’ body gently next to yours.
“he’s gone.”

Artemis Fowl: Animated Bloopers
So a couple weeks ago on the Artemis Fowl Incident Report Discord server ( @artemis-fowl-incident-report ), the brilliant @brekkie-bing had an amazing idea. Like how The Lion King and Brother Bear had animated bloopers in the post-credit scenes, she wondered what that would be like if we ever had an animated Artemis Fowl movie or tv series. That is where the greatest, most stupendous chain of ideas was birthed~~
SO MY SWEET PEEPS!! I present to y’all a whole host of bloopers me and a number of other people came up with, and feel free to reblog your own or even draw some of them!! As the great Super Mario says, LETSAGOO!!
Mulch is about to blow a big one, but it just comes out as a squeak
Foaly’s got a scene with a long rant in it, but he keeps jumbling up his words and they do about 76 takes to get it right
Holly writing “Fresh AF” in white marker on Artemis’ sunglasses, when he puts them on in a high tension scene you can here the whole crew in the background laughing
A phone goes off during filming. The ringtone is Madonna’s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’. The phone is Butler’s...
The camera pans on Holly eating some vole curry on set without realising her it’s her scene, her eyes widen as she’s like “OH CRAP ARE WE SHOOTING?”
Holly and Artemis goofing around during the punch take
Holly actually punches him super hard and he’s out cold
Artemis cracking up when he fumbles a line. Like, the voice actors just messing up and taking the piss
That one scene is Book One where Angeline has a weird homemade mannequin thing dressed as Artemis Fowl Senior, and the head just rolls off mid take and everyone bursts out laughing. Artemis is hands on knees screaming at the floor in laughter.
Juliet and Holly strutting and posing in the dressing room with Butler filming them
A full on argument between Argon and Cumulus which slowly delves into insulting each other
When they print out the first translation: “This...is [censor bleep]” cue laughter behind the camera
Julius roots cigar being too strong and he just chokes on the smoke for a painful five minutes while the crew hold in their laughter
Artemis struggles saying ‘I don’t like lollipops’ with a straight face
Footage of the troll fight without audio mixing so it's just Butler grunts and plate mail noises
Holly filming Artemis getting make up done on set
Artemis, glaring: I bet you won't release footage of your hair and makeup getting done
Holly does anyways
He’s getting some face powder on his noggin and Holly warns; “If that stuff gets on my hand when I punch you..”
Artemis, constantly: What's my line? I have so many words.
Artemis: I read the script but it’s all just words
Artemis:...*sigh* LINE???
When they finish a take they all just start dancing randomly cause thank god Artemis finally got his line out
Like Artemis walks into the room all intimidating and then he just stands there and he’s like “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing”
Artemis: L
Juliet: If you say line again I will throw one of the gold bars at you
Like Holly’s just watching and waiting awkwardly
Artemis: And this vial uh contains...llll
Butler: *glaring*
Artemis: llllemonade
Artemis running lines off camera and he's great and intimidating and subtle when he actually knows the words
When the director asks if everyone’s good on lines and they all know the questions for Artemis so they all just look at him
Artemis: Do you people understand how many words this is? This is approaching Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead levels of words
He has to pay up for every fudged line and every time they laugh or have a blank moment
Holly has a swear jar and Artemis has a "line?" jar
Artemis assuming it’s Holly’s line and he’s staring at her and she’s like “BRO ITS YOU”
Holly: That's a quarter in the jar
Artemis: THAT DOES NOT COUNT, I DID NOT SAY IT
Grub juggling the bars of gold cause they’re made of styrofoam and one of them hits trouble
Juliet accidently wacks someone else with her jade ring and she just goes "Oh god. I'm so sorry" repeatedly
Julius and Holly can’t stop laughing when he’s yelling at her
Holly doing the flying into scene and she trips while knocking over the props
Maybe a really heart warming scene where Holly catches Artemis playing Moonlight Sonata on the piano and secretly films him in his element
Mulch’s jaw gets stuck and he’s like “no guys I’m serious I can’t shut my mouth” Holly being like “well there’s a first”
Mulch hides food on set like RDJ during Avengers
Mulch would eat all the food and Holly would go "Goddamnit Mulch, why are you like this."
They come off set to get lunch. Food? Gone
Redoing takes because Mulch has cream cheese on his face
Inexplicably, it's always cream cheese
Even when they don't have any on set
Camera zooms in randomly on someone zoning out and making weird faces as they wait
The fairies being so short that the boom mic comes so low down in shots and it gets really annoying for everyone
Butler like Mufasa getting his voice pitch right as the audio rolls
Foaly: Uhh line? Sorry, it's a really wordy scene
Artemis: So it's okay when he does it?
Foaly: I don't call line nearly as much as you do. Aren't you supposed to be a genius?
Artemis: Aren't you?
Butler: Artemis, remember who you are
Butler: Artemis, I am your father
Juliet: Hell yeah you are
Thank you so much to my peeps who contributed: @brekkie-bing @pokegeek151 @the-local-bookworm and everyone on the discord server who was with us during those crazy, like, 15 minutes.
Once again, feel free to reblog and add your own or even draw some of these out! (Low-key looking at you; @brekkie-bing @iesnoth @hop-a-lot @fowlblue @popsicle-stick @blackhollyshort @talesoftales and all you beautiful artists...pwetty pwease 👉🏽👈🏽)
Have fun darlings!
