Sera would be the protective doting grandma who spoils the kids, Carmilla would be the cool badass grandma who gives the kids weapons and self defense training and Zestials the cool uncle who teaches them magic and tax evasion
Magic and tax evasion are the most important skills in Hell, honestly. How else do they think Mommy Velvette got so fucking rich? Zestial is also loaded up to his eyeballs, but he keeps that to himself. He teaches the boys about subtlety and off-ring bank accounts, two things Velvette did not master yet in her youth! Unlike Velvette, they are nuts about great-uncle Zestial. They idolize him a little bit, really.
i feel so bad for never posting oricarmie bro i love them sm.... i should talk abt them more.....
i think after orion finds out that carmine was bullied, he definitely tracks them down (even if carmine doesn't tell him who it was)
he won't hurt them since he doesn't want to stoop as low as GHOST, but he'll pull pranks like locking them in a dark room for like an hour or two or just smth as simple as like. pouring a bucket of water over their heads
and then when it's over he steals buys some ice cream for him and carmine 😇😇
at one point orion probably stops since he has to gain approval from rhys to date carmine in the first place so. he tries to be on his best behavior HAHAHSHHSBBD
Matthew Vaughn was at New York Comic Con this weekend and gave an update on the potential third KINGSMAN film. And by update I mean, reiterating the same thing he's been saying for years.
During the same NYCC panel, Vaughn was asked about the future of the Kingsman film franchise, which he said it was not over.
“We’ve got to get on with Kingsman 3 because I was joking that Colin [Firth] is going to end up being a portrait on the side while Taron is Arthur,” he said. “So we are working on that at the moment.”
This seemingly non-committal response is bewildering because at one point Taron Egerton said they were to begin filming in September 2022, but he then walked it back. But with such a definitive date in mind it appears they did have movement at one point.
Vaughn did have a more definitive answer about the follow-up to 2021's THE KING'S MAN. There will be a sequel titled THE TRAITOR KING and will deal with the rise of Hitler; which isn't surprising considering the end of the film. He will also be rebooting KICK-ASS. The original two films starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz.
What are the men of KINGSMAN up to?
Taron Egerton is still MIA. The only credit he has on IMDB is the Netflix film CARRY-ON which wrapped some time ago. He was even absent from the BAFTA Cymru awards this weekend where he beat out Rhys Ifans (House of The Dragon), Owain Arthur (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) and Graham Land (Melt) for Best Actor for his work in BLACK BIRD.
The award was handed out by Luke Evans - a winner that night for Best Entertainment Programme- who said Taron is his neighbor so he will bring it to him.
Another MIA Kingsman is Colin Firth who has zero projects listed on IMDB. He did turn up in a recorded program this weekend in support of the charity organization Action for Stammering Children.
Looking good, Cols.
I can't believe this is the last image we've seen of Colin Firth this year.
Know who is never not working? Mark Strong, that's who. He's a work horse! He even has his son Roman working.
Roman, who appeared in three episodes of Strong's series TEMPLE, which is executive produced by his wife Liza Marshall.
Strong has 3 films that have yet to come out and 8 pending gigs on IMDB. However, IMDB is user-maintained so it's likely some of those 8 are dead in the water or inaccurate. One of those iffy entries is that he is listed as being in the upcoming Max THE BATMAN, spinoff series: THE PENGUIN starring Colin Farrell. It's listed that Strong has been cast as Carmine Falcone who was played by John Turturro in THE BATMAN.
Now someone who wasn't working, but now is finally back at it is Edward Holcroft who is Lithuania filming the six-part series WOLF'S PALATE.
Okay but James and Louisa would be the best heel-face turn grandparents.

>upon being introduced to Reese and Carmine
James: "...That..one is a drone.."

James, near tears, cradling Reese: "I HAVE A GRANDSON!"

James: "No, no, let me show you how to throw a snowball. You pack the snow together real tight, and then-" >FLINGS SNOWBALL AT LOUISA<
.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.
Zara: "..Was Tessa.." >glances at Carmine, who is trying to toddle her way over to the fireplace. Louisa scoots her away with her leg.< "....mischievous as a child?"
Louisa: "A little. She mostly found ways to tear into our old clocks and played with the gears."
Zara: "...Maybe Carmine won't be as...interested in engineering until she's older."
>Zara and Louisa glance back over at Carmine, who is now gently patting at Behemoth [one of the older disassembly drones that Zara and Tessa adopted]'s face, using her plastic wrench to 'work' on him<
Louisa: >snickers and sips tea< "Oh, no, you girls are screwed."
Favourite Colour: Carmine if I'm being pretentious and specific, but all red is good in my eyes

Rhys looked at the door as Jed was announced and standing up he smiled “There you are” he told him as he stood up from the table, set up for a nice dinner with candle light “Thank you Carmine” and the man bowed slightly “I’ll bring out your appetizer in a couple minutes” he said and made his way out.
Yantober List! Feel free to participate at any point :3

Desire was a feeling of many faces.
There was the desire to achieve something, the desire to be liked, to be loved, to be touched. Desire to have something another person had, and a desire to be left alone from the world around one. Almost nothing on this planet earth couldn’t be desired if only you wanted it enough. Some desired to be like the sunny barista in the café around the corner; others wanted to be the CEO of a big company or a star in the magazines.
And Rhys desired to be you.
You didn’t share that many classes, less than you had fingers on one hand. But at least, those weren’t as important enough as that he couldn’t ignore them in favor of studying you. The way you held your pencil in your hand, or the stolen glances at your friend’s phone as they showed you funny videos under the table. He desired to have all of those mannerism which weren’t unique to you, but natural and straightforward. Perhaps, that did make them unique to you after all.
By the second lesson that you two shared, he already did his baby-steps in following your example. Using the same hand, the same arm position as you did, whenever you put it up to tell the teacher your thoughts. It was a small progress, but he did his best. No one would notice when he did it once or twice, and then changed to his prior way of doing things, so he was safe from being called out for his mimicking too.
That’s how he learned. From small fiddles to big gestures, you laid them all out in the open for him. If there was a way to describe the feeling of taking on someone’s behavior, it would be like breaking an arm. Perhaps, this feeling was exclusive for him, but he had to break his old habits in favor of the new ones, and sometimes he could feel the resistance of his body, telling him this wasn’t right. For a while, he had to fight his own limbs, muscles, and skin to achieve the goal he had sat in his mind, a war breaking out between his brain and heart.
Suppose Rhys had only listened to what his resistant muscles, the tingling on his skin, and the aching bones inside of him had tried to tell him. In that case, everything might have ended up differently. But he had always been more controlled by his mind over his heart, and if he wanted something, he was going to achieve it.
It had been this way in everything he did. When he wanted to change, he changed, and when people praised him for it, he felt confirmed. When teachers told him to better his performance, he did. It might have cost him nights of not sleeping, so he could still hang out with his friends in the day - keeping up his image - and study at night, but it was almost a relief to hear he was doing so well and have even more people pay him the respect he deserved. Rhys would have done anything to become what he imagined to be, even if that meant torturing himself with relearning various things like writing with the same hand as you did, or looking into hobbies you had, so he could take them over too.
By the second semester, people around him started to change, mainly because you shared friend groups now. It was easier to observe you when you were hanging out. Rhys’s desire only grew more prominent the more he managed to be around you and absorb your very essence of being directly. It was convenient to have overlays, as you’d show up to activities he did with his friends, and vice versa. Invitations were almost thrown into his direction, to join your group for a hike or picnic in the park. He really could not blame your friends for wanting to be with him since he did his uttermost best to be liked by them just like you were.
Maybe you felt the intrusion in your life that came from him, but if you did, that was the first emotion he couldn’t read from your face alone. Heart racing, mind only calmed by the alcohol in his glass, he caught you in a calm moment at a party once, asking if you were doing okay. That was probably the first time you two spoke just between yourself, but your answer was curt and dissatisfying, and he might have even called it cold.
“Yes, thank you for asking.”
With that, you were gone again, lost in the crowd of drunk and dancing students, not even giving a polite smile before leaving. Rhys could only stare after you as you disappeared so casually, and he wondered if you knew. If you knew he was desiring to be you, doing all he can to achieve that. Otherwise… there would have been no reason for you to be the first person ever to treat him so dismissingly.
As the glass broke in his hand, the alcohol leaving terrific stings on the bloody cuts, his whole world seemed to come crashing down again, like the first time he met you. You were unfazed by his presence, the only one to ever not want to hang around him. Even if you were the most charming, amazing person he ever met, you were just so damn cool.
And Rhys couldn’t keep up with you.
Considering his backstory, he should have been devastated, absolutely crashed about the realization that no matter how hard he tried, you’d always one-up him. But he wasn’t. While his eyes followed your head as you mixed in with the people, the artificial neon lights illuminating the room made your exit even more noteworthy. Rhys was left stunned by how amazing you were. You were everything, the alpha and the omega. The way you were naturally was something he couldn’t even reach if he strived for it his whole life. But he suddenly didn’t mind anymore.
He just stood there close to the exit of the room, glass and alcohol dripping from his one hand while the other clutched the carmine shirt, he was wearing, right above his heart, and grinned like the idiot he was. The desire to be like you vanished as he watched your friends pass by, watched his friends pass by. His life played out before him the same way it would do in a badly cut movie strip, reminding him of all the things he had done to become what he was. Still, all he felt was that it didn’t matter at all anymore.
Because in the end, he desired you so much more than anything else he ever wanted before.
