#same with brendan fraser

[cinnamon-toast-cronch]

like idk. if you were gonna give barbie the time of day in the first place for something that prestigious, I'd at least try to highlight what would elevate that movie to an academy award standpoint, which was greta gerwig infusing what very easily could've been a 2 hr commercial with her very personal themes of girlhood that she puts into all of her work, or margot robbie spending months on end trying to figure out how to portray a doll that has no wants or desires and treating it like she would any other serious role. not ryan gosling being silly (acting award) and ryan gosling being silly again (song award)

I liked barbie, I don't really think its oscar material out of all the movies I saw this year, but I had a good time and it was a fun summer activity with all the hype surrounding it. but the fact that ryan gosling has a nomination and not greta gerwig or margot robbie really is that special brand of academy awards "let's pretend like we care" that got greenbook winning best picture over blackkklansman

Oppenheimer was a failure

Dune 2 will get an unfair advantage this year, just like the Hollywood machine made sure that Oppenheimer got an unfair advantage. When was the last time anyone saw the great Oliver Stone fuck up a film?

Yogos Lanthimos is Elitist crap, who fetishizes shit like Incest and Underage sex. Big surprise he's being pushed.

Ari Aster can go fuck himself

Gosling is Canadian and I'd guess a even better asset than Brendan Fraser.

Patel is being used as a Poor Man's Keanu Reeves, since Monkey Man is supposed to be violent

I see someone named a new project Civil War, SPECIFICALLY to make sure the Avengers Civil War keeps spamming, like it is right now.

Magha Sun Michael Jackson & Bharani Moon Diana Ross.

As Ketu makes one internal, that means these nakshatras' passions burn within, while the natives appear withdrawn. This was just what my previous post was about, where I provided examples of Ketu natives who are perceived as gentle or passive despite being known as intense artists who possess an internal fire waiting to explode. I gave celebrity examples but missed the chance to mention this one fictional character. Untamed Heart, stars Magha Sun Christian Slater, who plays a very shy man known for never saying a word to anyone. And when he does speak, his tone is so gentle and his words are quite short. He's also very book-ish and he's into vintage music. His vast knowledge shows the passion inside of him which no one knows of but himself. Typical of Ketu in how reclusive he is. He's also labelled as “creepy” for his extremely quiet and withdrawn nature. Ketu generally dissolves attachment, so you'll see how that also plays a theme in his character and in the romance of the movie.

Magha Sun Christian Slater.

This is so interesting, as Venus, in contrast, makes one aligned with the beauty of life and Maya in general. By beauty, it's not just the finer things in hedonism, but also nature itself, and the beauty of other people, as Venus gives meaning and seeks connection in things. So there's also sensuality in the Venus nakshatras, and the natives themselves can be outwardly sensual or magnetic. Their energy can immediately come off eccentric at the same time — such as Bharani ASC Brendan Fraser in the movie Still Breathing. Unlike the beforementioned Ketuvian, his character is not withdrawn or internal. His energy is always externalized, as he is interactive with everything around him, driven by the spirit of creativity and meaning to actively share his energy and visions. So the character is obviously passionate and fiery due to the fire element, but he prominently has an outward touch of sweetness and gentleness to him due to the Venus nakshatra lord.

Venus & Ketu comparisons through the characters Adam and Fletcher (my own limited interpretation).

Ashwini Moon Cillian Murphy & Bharani Moon Lucy Liu in “Watching the Detectives”. The Bharani character brings adventure to Ashwini's life who lived in passivity, his passion as a film geek seen in how he's lived vicariously through exciting films but has remained dormant in his real life (Ketu's escapist tendency). The Venusian actually pushes him into being interactive with Maya.

Venusians and Ketuvians are quite similar, their differences also perfectly balance (internalization of Ketu vs externalization of Venus), which makes sense as to why they'd be drawn to one another frequently, being yoni consorts in Magha-Purva Phalguni as well. I talked about their possible connections to Hades & Persephone right in this post, after Ketu's possible connection to Hades here.

Bharani ASC Brendan Fraser.

Random Astrology Observations

Moon in the 1h is often talked about like 🥺🥺wears their heart on their sleeve🥹🥹uwu softie way but tbh Moon in 1h can make someone incredibly manipulative, they know just what to say and when to say it and know how to work their audience, this is perhaps why this placement is found in the charts of soooo many successful actors. ex: Leonardo DiCaprio, Audrey Hepburn, Henry Cavill, Charlie Chaplin, Priyanka Chopra, Antonio Banderas, Brendan Fraser, Benicio Del Toro, Jared Padelecki, Val Kilmer, Adrien Brody etc

I think this is a very manipulative placement, again manipulation is not in and of itself a bad thing, its what we use it for that matters. Some people completely lack the ability to manipulate at all (they don't have Moon influence)

2. Debilitated placements point to unconventional intelligence & wisdom in that area. I feel like they've cracked the code . They struggle a lot but when they triumph it's magic

3. I've mentioned this in other posts but many notorious sex offenders have Venus influence. Actions of this sort, as well as criticizing others' beauty, not taking care of yourself/surroundings, being shabby or disorderly in general are all things that harm your Venus. Abusing someone is the quickest way to ruin your Venus, you start corroding and that ugliness begins to manifest on the outside.

Ex: Harvey Weinstein looks like a cartoonish villain

4. As I explore the astrology content put out by others across different platforms, I've seen how the nature of the take themselves are so specific and unique to the person making them. Claire Nakti has a tendency imo to focus heavily on romance, sex and women's sexual behaviour and what sort of men they attract.

Going through her website, it's obvious that she's deeply immersed in occult & esoteric philosophy (all of which ties together with vedic astrology, philosophy, Buddhism etc because I truly believe that spiritual truths are universal and different schools of thought/religion/culture/mythology express these same truths in their own way with a LOT of recurring patterns) and Carl Jung as well.

It's studying Jung that helped me understand that what we see or draw from something is a reflection of who we are. As a beginner to vedic astrology, I initially believed Claire's one dimensional portrayal to be the all encompassing truth of a nakshatra until I started doing my own reading and research.

The things I talk about or the patterns I find are a reflection of me and I get a lot of asks about why I don't do xyz nak and honestly it's not as simple as doing research for an essay for uni, you kind of have to have a gnosis or innate knowing of its themes, something to base your search off of. And different naks call to me at different points. I come across content that describes certain naks in lights i could've never imagined which is to say that gnosis or inner knowing is an important aspect of studying anything esoteric, it kind of has to be revealed to you and what you see, what you can discern is a reflection of you.

5. you have to have a strong Rahu to discern patterns and similarities because Rahu is maya/illusion and a well-placed Rahu will allow you to see through those patterns/illusions. it will be very hard for someone without a strong Rahu to find similarities or common tropes, patterns, themes etc. Seeing through the veil or fog is Rahuvian.

6. Claire Nakti made a video about Venusian men where she said they were the ideal type of man and tbh that just confirmed my suspicion that she's Moon dominant because I think Moon dominant people are attracted to Venusians but in my humble opinion both Venusian men and Moon dominant men are some of the most batshit crazy people (manipulative and controlling at the least, psychopathic at worst) basically men who have a lot of Yin tend to be psychotic

7. I've noticed that Revati people tend to speak in a very verbose way. Nigella Lawson, Revati Moon is a really good example. Obviously other placements will also impact speech

8. Moon dominant people hate it when others share sob stories. They're the type to have the least amount of empathy for others and will either react in a neutral way or like they don't understand why you're saying this stuff at all. They're bored by other people's mundane problems and make it known as well. Not people you want to open up to.

My former friend was this way, I once cried in front of her and she showed zero emotion and didn't even try to comfort me lol

9. The way others treat us is the way we treat others. ik this is a basic take but karma is cause and effect. if you're dismissive of others feelings, other people will be dismissive of yours. what you do is what will be done unto you. Its so crazy to see how people who've been treated like shit by their friends will turn around and treat other people like shit. this is sooo basic but genuinely dont do anything to others that you dont want done to you.

How about Henry who never fell asleep with anyone else around, because he never trusted anyone and had an image to uphold, falling asleep on Alex all the time when they're hanging out (even with other people) because he feels safe. Can be canon or AU. :)

Hey anon!! Thank you for this lovely little prompt! This is a super short response, but I didn't want to drag it out because I think it works as just a silly lil domestic drabble. Hope you enjoy!

Movie night has kind of become a thing for Alex and Henry now that they have a space that’s their own. It feels domestic, like they’re allowed to have their own slice of normalcy despite everything they’ve been through. On Friday nights when most people their age are going to the clubs or hitting up dive bars, Alex and Henry curl up on their couch with a bowl of popcorn, boxes of pizza, and a bottle of wine and choose a movie out of a bowl. The movies they put in there are an amalgamation of favorites, ones that haven’t been seen, and new releases they both were anticipating, and this way they don’t fight over what to watch (which of course happened on their inaugural movie night).

This week, things look a little different. Alex is in his usual spot on the couch with Henry curled up into his side. Nora and June have commandeered the love seat across the way, their sides touching, their legs intertwined, arms slung over the arms of the chair haphazardly. Percy is in Henry’s favorite armchair, a vintage thing they found at a flea market that he had reupholstered in a cream brocade that somehow matches Percy’s overly stylish sweats. Bea occupies the final seat on the couch, her legs tucked underneath her, chin balanced on her hand, elbow perched on the arm of the couch. It’s not often that the super six are all in the same city together – business keeps them all bouncing around the globe, or firmly planted across the pond, or overly worked in DC, but they always found their way back to each other eventually, and this weekend it was a trip to New York City, with Bea occupying the guest bedroom in the Brownstone, and Nora, June and Percy all staying in a local hotel close by.

“The Mummy is an integral part of the bisexual experience!” Alex had yelled in excitement when the title had been announced as their watch for tonight. “I’m so excited for you to see it, Hen, Brendan Fraser is so hot, and it takes place in Egypt, you guys are going to love it.”

June and Nora had enthusiastically agreed, and Percy and Bea and Henry all shared a look and a laugh, an understanding passing between the three of them – they love these silly Americans enough to suffer through any movie for them.

“Fine, but I still can’t believe it wasn’t Notting Hill,” Henry had harrumphed, like it was a real struggle to curl up into Alex’s side and watch a movie full of attractive actors on the screen.

Everyone settles in as the movie starts, and pizza and popcorn is passed from hand to hand. It doesn’t take long for The Mummy to capture everyone’s attention, and only a few hushed whispers are occasionally passed as Evie and Rick run from the bad guys and race to find Hamunaptra.

They don’t even get halfway through the movie when Alex notices it – Henry’s head is heavy on his shoulder, his breathing regular and his chest rising and falling slowly against Alex’s side. Alex ducks his head and peeks at Henry, and the small, satisfied smile that curls across his lips is genuine. Henry’s fast asleep on his chest, despite him being engrossed in the movie only moments before. Alex doesn’t wake him up, though, just runs his fingers through Henry’s golden hair and presses a reverent kiss to his boyfriend’s forehead, then turns back to the movie. They make it a few more scenes before Nora catches on and alerts June to the snoozing Henry, which in turn gets Pez to coo at them softly and Bea to share a small, private smile with Alex.

—

Henry, an infamous insomniac, passed out across Alex’s chest and snoozing like a baby. Bea remembers how hard it used to be for Henry to sleep, how he used to fight sleep like it was giving in to weakness to lay his head down and rest. He deserves this, she thinks. He deserves someone he feels comfortable enough around to fall asleep on, in the middle of a room full of people, in the middle of a loud, action packed movie. Henry deserves Alex, who lulls him to sleep and knocks him out despite it all.

Nora and June are in the kitchen making a box of brownies they found in the pantry, and the credits are rolling when Bea conspiratorially leans in to Alex and smiles brightly.

“You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brother sleep in a public space. This is… impressive.”

“Quite,” Percy agrees in a quiet tone, his own smile telling as he looks from Bea to sleeping Henry then back over to Alex. “Henry’s always been so… strange about sleep. Didn’t want people to know he did it or something,” Percy laughs as he shakes his head.

Alex smiles sweetly down at Henry, his affection easily apparent as he brushes a lot of hair from Henry’s forehead. “This is his home, he can be comfortable here. I’m proud of that,” Alex admits quietly, not budging an inch in hopes of allowing Henry to sleep longer.

“I’m so thrilled to see him this happy,” Bea admits, her tone easy and her eyes bright. “You’re so worthy of his love, Alex.”

♇ so before i explain all grand trines, i'll explain "what" a grand trine is.

♇ a grand trine occurs when 3-4 or more, planets/axis/important asteroids [eg. juno, lilith, chiron etc] within the same elements [fire, earth, air and water] are situated in 120°, what the planets do to each other is that they electrify and energise each other so they activity and the themes of the planets/elements/signs can work at its best.

♇ when someone has a grand trine, whatever they put effort in, [especially when the goal/theme has something to do with the element the planets are in, for example, air = learning/communicating], it will come effortlessly for them and will be a strong strength and gift.

[how to check if you have a grand trine astro-charts].

FIRE GRAND TRINES

celebrities who have a fire grand trine ⬎ 

⟶ elizabeth taylor, richard madden and whitney houston.

elizabeth taylor has her grand trine in venus in aries, uranus in aries, jupiter in leo and ascendant in sagittarius.

richard madden has his grand trine in midheaven in aries, ascendant in leo, venus in leo and saturn in sagittarius.

whitney houston her grand trine in moon in aries, jupiter in aries, sun in leo, venus in leo and midheaven in sagittarius.

♇ having a fire grand trine increases the characteristics of an individual to show and spread warmth, optimism and joy for life. they are very ambitious for the future, and fire grand trine people can easily influence people, [intentionally or unintentionally, it'll still happen].

♇ however, as this is the fire element working at it's best, they can be very impulsive and chaotic people if they do not have any squares in their chart. due to them being people who are chaotic and abrupt, they're likely people who are not aware of the risks that might come with their actions and outcomes.

♇ majority of the time, these people don't let fear stop them from achieving their goals, these people are about action and commotion, they like to feel alive thus why they always involve themselves into projects.

♇ they can be very reckless people, and might always think that luck is on their side so they cannot get in trouble. due to them always liking action and excitement, they like to create drama so they can be entertained.

EARTH GRAND TRINES

celebrities who have a earth grand trine ⬎ 

⟶ zendaya, brendan fraser and elizabeth olsen.

zendaya has her grand trine in moon in taurus, sun in virgo and jupiter in capricorn.

brendan fraser has his grand trine in moon in taurus, pluto in virgo, venus in capricorn and midheaven in capricorn.

elizabeth olsen has her grand trine in mars in taurus, ascendant in virgo, saturn in capricorn and neptune in capricorn. [she is also an air grand trine].

♇ having an earth grand trine makes someone protective with what they have materially and physically earned. they like to be financially independent, [and independent in many other themes of their lives], and they like to be secure with themselves.

♇ they're people who like to create and invent things, they perceive it as their way of growing as a person, in knowledge, financially and skill. these people are work-oriented and financially and security driven, they like to be in a comfortable place, but sometimes it might always cause them to always want to be doing something and actually never being comfortable in their situation.

♇ they are down to earth people, and like to be in connection with their soul and the outside world. they like a balance. they know how to take care of themselves and know how to tender to other people, they're nurturing and don't like to hold that side of them back.

AIR GRAND TRINES

celebrities who have an air grand trine ⬎ 

⟶ mackenzie foy, ciara and sharon tate.

mackenzie foy has her grand trine in jupiter in gemini, mars in libra, neptune in aquarius and midheaven in aquarius.

ciara has her grand trine in chiron in gemini, venus in libra, midheaven in libra and jupiter in aquarius.

sharon tate has her grand trine in saturn in gemini, uranus in gemini, neptune in libra, sun in aquarius and mercury in aquarius.

♇ when someone has an air grand trine, they are people who immediately learn things that stimulate their mind, on the other hand it doesnt necessarily need to be things that stimulate their mind, they're people who can easily catch on with patterns and systems of a subject.

♇ they like to learn and experience situations, and other people's situations as well, they're the type of people who were students that rarely noted down anything, and just vibed with what was being taught.

♇ having an air grand trine strengthens the individuals interest and curiosity for everything, they over-work themselves because they want to become a jack of all trades.

♇ as figured, they want and like mental stimulation, and they like to discuss and debate with other people. but they get bored easily, especially when other people are conversing with them, which can make other people insecure about their verbal entertainment. and might think that the air grand trine person thinks of them to be a boring person, which is usually true.

WATER GRAND TRINES

celebrities who have an water grand trine ⬎ 

⟶ ariana grande, jensen ackles and marilyn monroe.

ariana grande has her grand trine in sun in cancer, midheaven in scorpio and saturn in pisces.

jensen ackles has his grand trine in mars in cancer, uranus in scorpio and venus in pisces.

marilyn monroe has her grand trine in north node in cancer, saturn in scorpio and mars in pisces.

♇ those who have water grand trines can be very dependent people, they're people who have needs that usually are needed to be tended to or met. they are people who need to feel secure like earth grand trines, but with water grand trines it is usually emotional security that they need and is important for them.

♇ they're protective of others, and themselves, which can either lead them to be people who are closed off, or people who wear their heart on their sleeves. compared to the other elemental grand trines, [fire, earth and air], water grand trines are better at processing their emotions than other people.

♇ they know how to present themselves, and even if they process their emotions better than other people, they could have a hard time being about to "communicate" how they feel, unless there are some air energy playing into their charts, or even earth.

♇ these water grand trines are very creative, and they can use that as a way to display their emotions for other people to understand. expressing it through music or art, thus why people could view most water grand trines are musical experts/musically creative.

Just watching the Mummy and having moments

Like, was SJM inspired by the Pharoah's mistress when she painted Feyre Under the Mountain (so everyone would know if anyone touched her, aka Tamllin)?

Like, how Evie and Rick make a good team as soon as they're on the same side: she's watching his back, pulling him out of gunfire without asking or needing to be asked, he's watching hers, recognizing what the wet footprints *might* mean and checking on her immediately.

Like, how Evie says "if he turns me into a mummy you're the first one I'm coming after" but what she means is "I love you" and he GETS IT immediately. They've well established that Imotep has been obsessed with reconnecting with his beloved despite being a mummy. Evie is telling Rick, you're beloved to me, and he hears her even though they've spent so little time together.

Like, how Jonathan is constantly avoiding conflict but NEVER backs down when it happens. He is the last to drop his gun when they visit the museum in Cairo for answers.

Like, how they so subtly compare Jonathan and the prison warden. Both pick up the blue gold scarabs. The warden is driven by greed, he is giggling, he keeps saying "one more" until a scarab breaks loose to eat him. But Jonathan is curious. "Hey gents, have a look at this" he says as he grabs one to show Rick and Ardeth. When it inevitably breaks loose to eat him, Rick and Ardeth are able to save him. Jonathan is greedy, yes, but it is not his primary motivation. And that saves his life.

Like, how Brendan Fraser's eyes have not changed at ALL. Now that he's back in public view, I watch this and go, "oh, there you are Brendan! We missed you buddy"

Like how Evie is a damsel, and she is in distress, but she can handle it. Give her an inch to defend herself and she f*cking WILL.

Like how the entire finale is an absolute PERFECT balance of humor and serious action. We are absolutely worried for their lives, but when Rick screams at the mummies we laugh, bc bro what are you doing lol.

Like how what secures their victory isn't violence or brute strength, it's knowledge. *Evie's* knowledge. She helps Jonathan translate a dead language to save Rick, then she translates it again (under EXTREME pressure) to make Imotep mortal.

Just, ugh. The feels. What a masterpiece.

[lesbiancolumbo]

Acting like Demi Moore wasn’t shamed for her pay check in strip tease is such bad faith. All you have to do is look at the razzies that year to see that she was being punished for being a woman getting paid a lot for an okay movie as if men - lets say Bruce “a million a day” Willis - don’t get to do that. Also it also is such a double standard to say she wants it too much like nobody was writing articles like that about brad pitt when he was campaigning so hard for OUATiH and everyone was tripping over themselves to give brendon fraser the oscar for the whale as a career acknowledgement! but god forbid a woman wants something!

demi literally talked about this in an interview leading up to the substance’s theatrical release too! that she wasn’t strictly comparing her career to bruce’s, but as his wife she knew damn well what he was bringing home in terms of a paycheck, and she said to herself, well, we’re doing the same amount of work. i should be compensated accordingly. and she was crucified for this! i was two fucking years old when striptease came out and i know this! what is REBECCA’s fucking excuse?

beatmywifeandkids pitt can campaign for an award shortly after beating his wife and kids and no one cares. brendan gets to act like a literal fucking make a wish kid when it came to his campaign and we all bought it up (i’m sympathetic to what he’s been through. but let’s be so fucking real. a woman would be CRUCIFIED for even attempting his kind of public narrative and campaign!!!).

remember in 2014 when michael keaton was launching his big comeback with birdman and the industry narrative was wow. this guy we love is BACK and hey, hasn’t he DESERVED it by now? we love that guy! and he would go to awards shows and give great speeches and we would all say wow. i love him. hope he wins more so he can speak more. ANYWAY I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING, REBECCA

remember when we effectively crucified anne hathaway for years for the crime of (checks notes) being too excited for an award we were pretty much all in agreement that she deserved, anyway? sorry for continuing to sit up on my soapbox. it gives me no pleasure. but i see this kind of sexist nonsense from men every god damn day of my life and when it comes from women my eye begins to twitch a little

[wanderinginksplot]

Guys, The Whale was so good.

I already figured I would like it because I love the inspirational stuff in the background about Brendan Fraser's return and everything, but I wasn't ready.

I avoided this movie for so long, partially because I wasn't ready to see the inevitable mocking of a fat character, especially one whose mental health is so precarious.

(Slight spoilers for The Whale below)

But there was none of that. Brendan Fraser played a morbidly obese man with grace and kindness - something I've never seen before. Charlie is unfailingly optimistic, even in horrendous circumstances, and patient with literally every other character. It was stunning.

I think it's worth noting that the person who is the harshest to Charlie is himself. His daughter is an asshole, but her comments are nothing compared to the way Charlie talks about himself. When people see him for the first time, they often seem surprised, but they don't mock him. That felt so much more real and impactful.

The only character who truly says that Charlie is 'disgusting' is ambiguous about whether he's talking about Charlie's weight or his past relationship with a man.

Charlie's falls and struggles to get around are shown as the dangers they really are instead of being treated like a joke. He is shown binge-eating a few times, but it's never portrayed comedically, just as an unhealthy coping mechanism. (One could say the same thing about Liz's smoking.) He's even shown using a variety of accessibility tools to navigate life in his apartment!

And the reveal about the writer of the essay? Wow. Movies don't make me overly emotional, but the end had me crying on an airplane.

Anyway, I'm not sure that I have a point. I just really loved the movie and I loved the way obesity was treated as a serious issue without falling into victim-blaming or snide comments about Charlie's eating habits. I understand that the writer based it on his own experiences as a obese man with an eating disorder, and I think that made it feel so much more sincere.

Btw, the next line in the scene at the top of this post is, "People are amazing." This emotionally scarred, self-hating, deeply depressed man still sees the beauty in humanity. And that kills me every time.

The Whale was lovely and heartwarming and I am emotionally compromised.

You should watch it.

So Sweet

rhea x reader

content: pure fluff, something cute and simple

It was movie night with the Judgment Day. You had one every month, it wasn’t the same weekend but you made sure that there was one. You made a group chat so that they could request what movie and you made the list of who goes when: Dom, Finn, You, Rhea, and Damian, always in that order, no if’s and’s or but’s.

Surprisingly, you and Dom had similar movie tastes, so the two of you were always arguing over who could choose that movie for the night, and you always won. You made sure that everyone was okay with the movies chosen and even made sure everyone brought a snack.

Though you and Rhea lived together, you insisted that she still had to bring her snack, “but we can say it’s both of ours,” she would say.

“No, baby, it doesn’t count,” was always your response.

Tonight it was at your house, so you spent all day cleaning while Rhea went to the gym, to the store, dropped off something at work, and then came back to help. The two of you kept things pretty tidy so it wasn’t much work, but you enjoyed the domesticated side of it all.

You set the lighting to red and blue causing the room to be a light shade of purple, put out a lot of pillows and blankets and made sure there was plenty of room for snacks and drinks on the coffee table; they all loved the effort you put into it.

The time finally came and they showed up one by one, Finn first, then Damian, then Dom. You helped them carry in their respective items and gestured them to the drink counter and food table.

“You always make it so cozy,” Finn said.

“Yes, I love when it’s at your house, hermana,” Damian added, “it’s like a sleep over.”

“Aw thanks,” you smile wide as he gives you a hug, he always had the best hugs, after Rhea’s of course.

They help you set up the snacks and drinks before getting cozy on the couch.

You cuddle up next to Rhea with the big bowl of popcorn, then Dom next to her. Damian sits on the other side of you but Finn laid on the floor.

“What are you doing bro?” Rhea cocked an eyebrow at him.

“I get too hot next to all of ya,” he said innocently.

“Oh come on, you don’t want to cuddle?” Dom joked.

“Not with you,” he poked back.

Every one laughed in unison but let him be as you threw him a pillow and the lightest blanket.

“Alright, Dom’s choice up first,” you handed him the remote.

“Thank you,” he said with a cocky tone.

You chuckled as you rolled your eyes. He flipped through the streaming services to find the right one. He finally found it and pressed play on The Mummy with Brendan Fraser.

“Good choice,” Rhea nudged him.

“Thanks Mami,” as he took a sip of his drink.

The five of you watched the pre-chosen movies in order, laughing, crying, screaming, and laughing some more. Everything went perfectly and you couldn’t be happier to have your little family by your side.

[odditycircus-2002]

Hmm, any chance you could do some hcs with a Fem Mummy! Reader x Quan Chi (MK1) with the basic premise being that the reader was revived by Quan Chi and is actually happy with being alive (or at least close to it) and as a result is loyal to him and later fell in love?

A/N: I can indeed!😄 Hope you don’t mind, but I’m a fan of Corpse Bride and Imhotep from Brendan Fraser's "The Mummy".

Eternally Loyal

Admittedly, you were caught off guard when pulled from your eternal rest, only to be thrust to life once more. Yet it was soon replaced with sheer joy when realizing you are walking among the Land of the Living again. By the looks of it, you had the mysterious pale necromancer that stood above you, your now beating and glowing heart in his hand.

He introduced himself as Quan-chi, the most powerful sorcerer in Outworld, Master of the Dead, and now your reanimator. You sincerely thank him for bringing you back to life, as you had only begun to achieve your true ambitions and plans. Quan-chi suggests that you may still be able to after you settle your debt with him. According to your House's tradition, those who save a member of the House of L/N are now indebted to the first. Bringing life back to your revived corpse counts as keeping one's life in your book.

You don't doubt that, with your reanimation, you were undoubtedly gone for a long while and thus in a whole new world and unknown territory. You figured it'd be best to make nice with your guide if you want to gain any advantage.

Quan-chi smirked when you inevitably questioned how you could repay your new debt to him.

"You can start by serving under me until I deem your debt repaid in full."

"On your soul then..."

Which Quan-chi agreed, but whether or not he was sincerely remained to be seen.

Quan-chi had made it so you had to occasionally steal and absorb body parts from others to remain alive and whole. While Quan-chi resurrected your heart and soul and used to influence your actions, they can keep you tethered to the mortal plane for so long without refueling. So you keep yourself wrapped up as you were to not reveal your constantly rotting and healing body.

But even with such a weakness, you have been given strength as Quan-chi gifted you with the ability to drain the moisture out of anything by touch alone (excluding himself), control over sand, and become sand, your preexisting telekinetic abilities.

Since then, you have loyally served under Quan-chi, executing every order and task with near perfection without question. Fervently hanging on to his every word and feat of magic so you may one day use it for yourself when you feel the time is right. You also had no issue cutting down any of your fellow minions if you think they are disobedient to your master. To which Quan-chi is not against, even with one of the demons from his Sisterhood of Shadow. In fact, he's growing fond of your usefulness and how you serve him well.

As powerful as Ermac turned out to be, he was ultimately a failure in Quan-chi's eyes. The same applies to Ashrah, whom Quan-chi could not control. Which is a shame to the sorcerer, as both were powerful tools. Oh well, if you do not succeed at first, try again.

In comes you, a mummified Edenian Noble renowned for her ruthlessness, problem-solving, and tenacity during a warring era before Sindel’s Golden Era. Who has (yet) to disobey him. Unfortunately, you were cut down in your prime on the eve you were to marry your betrothed to secure an alliance with another nation. A shame, really, as you had plans for the future. But you're just happy to be alive.

It helps that Quan-chi praises you whenever you perform a task well for him, such as uncovering lost grimoires, to encourage you to continue aiding him and fulfilling your debt. Eventually, Quan-chi awards your efforts with gifts such as flowers or a new robe as you continuously serve him well in his quest to overthrow Liu Kang. With each gift, you could've sworn you felt your heart beating within your chest, and not hiding on Quan-chi's person.

Often, he would converse with you about his studies and discoveries, doing most of the talking as you just listened and reacted. You couldn't help but notice how Quan-chi treats you more amiably, almost as much as he is with Shang Tsung, his fellow sorcerer. Perhaps even as a companion, as he prefers to have you follow him for his tasks the most. You like to think its because the Sorcerer has the same admiration for you as you do for him, as silly as it sounds and which you would be caught absolutely dead saying aloud.

Speaking of the snake-like Sorcerer, Quan-chi proudly introduced you to Shang Tsung as his latest work of genius once. The latter critically looked you up and down and admired the magic used to keep you together. Although to not admit to Quan-chi's magical prowess, Shang Tsung would ask.

"How do you know this minion won't turn on you like the others?"

You opened your mouth to defend yourself, your looser wrapping unraveling and posing to strike down the blasphemous Sorcerer, but before you could make the blow, Quan-chi explains.

"She won't,"

Quan-chi would glance back at you and softly run a hand under your chin, which you followed with your head.

"But even if the impossible happens, I hold their heart."

Quan-chi would summon your purple and green heart into his hand, petting it with his free hand like a small pet.

"It would be such a waste if I must. Isn't that right, Y/N?"

You, of course, nodded. That was the closest you would receive as an admittance of love from someone like Quan-chi.

Some Christian Lore I think will be important for GO S3

I don’t think there is gonna be a baby Jesus y’all… theories that Maggie is the new Mary or Aziraphale will show up with a baby on Crowley’s doorstep fail to take into account the actual Christian myth and lore

Jesus rose from the dead and ascended BODILY into Heaven. According to the Gospels and Revelation that same embodied Jesus is returning to Earth.

And Neil is like A SCHOLAR for religion, he knows these stories.

So I’m just throwing out there, while we are all theorizing, that we are probably getting a 33 year old Jesus coming to Earth and having NO IDEA how Earth works since he was last here >2000 years ago. (I could be wrong)

So im thinking more like George of the Jungle film where Brendan Fraser is Jesus and Leslie Mann is Aziraphale; a fish out of water / man outta place comedy

The Curious Case of Brie Larson (And Captain Marvel)

A while ago I opined that Gal Gadot was an actress misused by Hollywood; an actress born for charming romcom roles who was forced by her A-list status into thankless girlboss action movie roles she had no aptitude for (imagine Julia Roberts trying to play a Bond Girl). Brie Larson isn't exactly the same, but I think she is being ill-served by the current clime.

It's weird. She won an Academy Award for Room, which she was legitimately great in, but after that she's largely in blockbusters and mostly a nonentity. What do you remember about her performances in Kong: Skull Island or Fast X? Do you even remember she was in Fast X? For some reason?

Clearly they needed to bring in a few new characters to round out the cast.

In Captain Marvel... well, we could talk a lot about Captain Marvel. Someone made the bad call of having her get into a "don't feed the trolls" pissing contest with her own target audience. Her character was written as both a Quippy Marvel Hero (tm) and an Emotionless Brainwashee at the same time. In fact, so much of Carol's identity is weirdly ripped off from Bucky: amnesiac used as a killing machine by the bad guys who is brought back by a homoerotic friendship with an old comrade-in-arms. It's like Marvel looked at Bucky, decided he was their most popular character with women, and so turned Carol into that, just with a black woman to really pack 'em in. And making her pre-Crisis Superman strong ensured that she could never actually be used in a team-up movie (the thing the MCU is for) because she'd dominate every fight and make her teammates useless.

Whew.

Now, you could argue Larson is a great technical actress, better than Arnold Schwarzenegger, sure. But she's just no fun. You look at Brendan Fraser's fanbase, which is nearly the whole internet, and it's all people who like him because he seems to enjoy starring in movies about monster mummies trying to kill him.

I just don't get that vibe from Larson. Whenever she's in a big movie, she seems like she's only there because she won the lotto and achieved quasi-A-list status while being pretty cute so now she's getting offered huge parts in big summer blockbusters thus, hell, why shouldn't she strike while the iron is hot and make millions for hanging out with Vin Diesel a few days? But I don't think her heart is it in. She'd rather be making serious dramatic movies, or at least goofing off with her friends in a comedy.

It's all kind of a shame. She's a fine actress, Captain Marvel is a decent character, but the mismatch between the two and shit creative decisions put a bad smell on both. I don't know if Marvel still has the juice to try rehabilitating her character, especially when they spent her last movie introducing one 'Marvel Family' character after another. I wouldn't be surprised if Carol is quietly shuttered, off wandering the galaxy for all eternity while Photon or Spectrum or another of her ensemble takes over her 'legacy'. Assuming all this multiverse stuff isn't leading up to a soft reboot and linewide recasts. Maybe the next iteration will get it right.

But at this point, Captain Marvel isn't even in Marvel Rivals, surpassed by more popular characters like Peni Parker and Magik. What a comedown for the would-be leading lady of the MCU.
