#so no hate to the actors and their performances at all

[robotsbrainrots]

Of all the characters in Andor, these are two I’ll miss the most. Their strange bond was endlessly compelling and complicated. Found family dynamics are fairly common in fiction, but something about this pair continues to keep me thinking long after the show is over. How Luthen’s parental role with driven so much by guilt. Sometimes I wonder if he wanted to see Kleya’s as absolution for his past life. Tony Gilroy said that Kleya never completely stopped hating him, just as much as she looked up to him and cared for him as a father figure.

At the same, the immense respect they share is easy to see. And, admittedly plenty of fathers say they’d burn the world down for their daughters, but Luthen actually did it. He lit the whole galaxy on fire just for her.

“I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this will never get… the light of gratitude”

I love this art, just like I loved getting to see these two incredible actors perform together.

"Axis" Still making peace with the fact that we won't have any more ANDOR 😔. What a special series this was.  Here's a quick sketch of Luthen & Kleya because I love them beyond words ❤

hi sweets! I was wondering if you’d be interested in writing something about watching weak hero with actor!boyfriend jihoon. maybe about you tearing up or crying bc of how sad jihoon’s acting as sieun made you feel and jihoon’s reaction 🥹🥹 orrr perhaps watching weak hero with junyoung (seongje’s actor) and acting scared of him/sulking bc of how good his acting as seongje was!! entirely up to you of course no pressure :)

A/N: Sorry for all my lies💔 I will do junyoung version too🙏🏾

Title: Not supposed to cry

Pairings: Actor! Park Jihoon x Actress/Actor! GN! Reader

Warnings: crying, mentions of blood

You didn’t think it would hit this hard.

You’d seen the memes, the edits, the Twitter breakdowns. Everyone had said Jihoon’s performance in Weak Hero  was gut-wrenching, Oscar-worthy, life-ruining. And you’d believed them—he was your boyfriend after all. You’d always known how much depth he carried behind that cute demeanor.

But actually watching it? It was something else entirely.

You sat curled under the blanket beside him on the couch, the laptop propped on your thighs. Jihoon had begged you to watch it with him—even though you’d delayed it for months because "I don't want to see you bruised and bleeding and emotionally traumatized, thanks.”

But tonight, he’d finally worn you down.

And now here you were, trembling like a leaf in a storm, hands pressed against your mouth as Yeon Si-eun lay crumpled and bloodied on the floor, struggling to breathe, eyes flickering with rage and helplessness.

Your throat burned.

Jihoon peeked over your shoulder, eating popcorn like this wasn’t devastating.

You sniffled once. Then again.

He glanced at you, his face smug. “Are you… are you crying?”

You didn’t answer.

You couldn’t.

Because now the scene had shifted, and Si-eun was trying to fight alone again. Taking punches with a blank face. Eyes glazed. His voice trembling when he spoke. It hurt your heart. Even if it was a character, you imagine it as your boyfriend.

You hated this. You hated it.

You curled tighter into yourself, and the first hot tear slipped down your cheek.

Jihoon paused the episode.

Your chest hiccupped. “Why did you do that?! I was watching.”

He turned toward you, looking scandalized. “You’re seriously crying over me?”

“I’m not crying over you, I’m crying over Si-eun!” you burst out, wiping at your face. “Oh my God, I hate this show. Who let you act like that?! Why are you like this?!”

Jihoon gave a long, dramatic sigh and flopped backwards into the couch cushions, head tilted back like a prince. “Wow… dating someone so good at acting really does things to a man’s ego.”

“I’m not acting!”

“Oh no, of course not,” he said, grabbing a tissue and daintily dabbing your cheeks with it like you were a Victorian maiden fainting in grief. “This is pure, raw emotion. I’m so flattered.”

You slapped his arm half-heartedly. “Shut up. I’m mad at you. You didn’t tell me it was this bad.”

He chuckled, the teasing slowly melting from his expression. “Hey. I warned you. I said it wasn’t easy to watch.”

“I thought you meant like intense action, not emotional trauma with a banger soundtrack!”

Jihoon smiled softly, brushing a tear away with his thumb. “You really got all worked up over Si-eun.”

Your lip wobbled. “He just… he reminds me of you. How you used to be before you got into acting. Always quiet. Always thinking more than you said. Always trying to fix things alone.”

Jihoon’s fingers stilled.

He didn’t say anything for a second, and you almost regretted saying it.

Then he exhaled slowly, pressing his forehead to yours. “You were the first person I didn’t want to push away. Even when I was still learning how to let people in.”

Your eyes welled up again, and you shoved your face into his chest. “Why are you making me cry again?! This is so mean!”

He laughed, wrapping his arms around you and tugging the blanket tighter. “Okay, okay. No more trauma. Let’s just watch a dumb rom-com. Or one of those weird animal documentaries you love.”

“I do love the weird animal documentaries.”

“I know. You cry when the penguins lose their babies.”

“You said you wouldn’t bring that up again!”

Jihoon kissed the top of your head. “You crying over my acting is the highest compliment I’ve ever received, by the way.”

You mumbled something incoherent into his hoodie.

“What was that?”

“I said,” you looked up at him with narrowed eyes, “you still suck for not warning me how wrecked I’d be.”

Jihoon smirked. “If I’d warned you, you wouldn’t have watched it. And then I wouldn’t get to see you sobbing over my brilliance.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you’re in love with me.”

You grumbled something about fragile egos and went back to snuggling into his side. He kissed your temple again, this time without a joke behind it.

The next episode started playing. You were already tearing up again.

Jihoon just pulled you closer

A/N: That is all. its short I know💔💔

FanFic Share "Challenge"--What are the last 5 fanfics you've read that you LOVE?

HI--this is my post from reddit...sharing it here because I really want to know what y'all are reading!

I'm always looking to discover wonderful fanfics and I soooooo many fics that I love have come from suggestions here! So I want to play a fun "challenge" (challenge isn't really the right word for this but we're going to use it anyway, k?)

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

Go to your History

Starting from your most recent read scroll back and note fanfics you've LOVED...(meaning, if in your 5 most recent fics you've read you've only truly LOVED 3 of them then keep scrolling back until you have 5!)

When you have 5 of them, list them/link them here!

I'll start!!!

Just Like North by anincompletelist (soldouthaz) This is a Maze Runner au. I have personally never read or watched Maze Runner but trust me, the writing and story telling is SO GOOD that it won't matter. If you like dystopic future/badass Alex fics YOU WILL LOVE THIS!

love thorns all over this rose by theprinceandagcd  @theprinceandagcd HOLY SHIT. This fic killed me in all the best ways. The writing is amazing. It will tear your heart apart before it is put back together so if you like angst, READ THIS IMMEDIATELY. Alex thinks he's incapable of being a good boyfriend due to a past experience--together with his "not good enough" stuff this is a potent combo. So when he hooks up with Henry, he makes it clear it is just sex and friendship...of course, Alex is a tortured soul...you guys--this fic is so good and my summary is lame...just trust me--EXCELLENT.

all i wanted (was you) by ksmalltalk Author's summary: It's been nearly a decade since exes Henry and Alex have last seen or heard from each other. After one unexpected night of reuniting thanks to the meddling of their mutual friend, the pair find that neither time nor circumstance can stop their flame from rekindling. With the complications of Henry's marriage to another man and his scheduled return to London looming, the two must navigate life's difficulties as they grapple with what a possible future could mean for them. NOTE: the epilogue hasn't been posted yet but no reason to think it won't be. This is a reliable poster. AND even if the epilogue never gets posted, the story is complete and SO SO SO WORTH READING!

With so much of my heart (that none is left to protest) by kiwiana  @kiwiana-writes Dare I say, one of the absolute best fics in our fandom. This is actually a re-read I did. Author's summary: Alex is a former child star struggling to make the transition into being seen as a serious actor. He jumps at an opportunity to perform on stage in the UK, seeing it as a way to break free from the typecasting and show what he can really do. But he wasn’t prepared to star alongside someone he hates. // Henry is a recent theatre graduate who accepts an amazing role in a queer reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing. And then it turns out his co-star is none other than the man he’s been hopelessly pining after for years—even though Henry made a terrible first impression when they met. // It’s… well, it’s practically Shakespearean.

Breathing In, Breathing Out by smc_27 One of the best writers in our fandom, I believe. Author's summary: He can’t believe just when he started to get the sense he actually knew what he was doing, Henry would pull this. Like, as far as Alex knows he hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s on time for dates and he calls when he says he will. He remembers what Henry likes to eat and what his favourite drink is. He doesn’t watch movies alone that he thinks will be fun to watch together. He tries not to be distracting when they’re supposed to be studying.

He’s been thinking of Henry as his boyfriend in his head for like two weeks now.

Worrying Henry’s been lying about how much he likes this - how much he likes Alex - fucking hurts.

Okay! I can't wait to see what you've been reading (that you love)!!!! Yay! Thanks for playing!

BONUS--CURRENT READ IS

Bluebonnets and Polo Mallets by Chamel. @cha-melodius. Another one of the best writers in the fandom. Fic is a WIP but WILL get posted to completion. If you ever wanted to know what would happen when Polo player, Henry, and Rodeo star, Alex, meet up...this is your fic. SO GOOD!

[the-headless-horsedude]

maybe i'm just a hater but i feel like there were too many movie stars in murder on the orient express (2017)

[namusass]

literally every single time hyunju was on screen i was screaming "shes so HOT AND SEXYYYYYYYY" the entire time. because she's hot and sexy i love her so much i know shes prob gonna die and i wil be devastated but for now im gonna be Very Emotionally Attached to her

[dollypopup]

look, y'all can all gleeful cancel me for this #unpopular opinion if you want, but even IF Nicola wasn't nominated for the comedy section and it was her and Luke head to head in best drama?

I'd still vote for him

because I genuinely and truly think his acting is INCREDIBLE. and I think he's one of the better actors on Bridgerton full stop. I love the nuance he brings to Colin as a character, I love how he so fully embodies him as a character and that Colin has similarities to him, but is fully different at the same time. Colin does not talk like Luke, walk like Luke, even fidget like Luke. He has his own character beats and yes, sometimes parts of Luke bleed into him, such as with the head tilt, but the voice is different, softer, the movements of Colin as a character are distinct to me, he delivers humor well ('you'd already be dead?') and his decisions for Colin as a character are ICONIC (I'm never forgetting that dress adjustment with specific fingers was all him). Colin had a harder go of it than a lot of leads because his story isn't as loud- he doesn't get a lot of big, dramatic moments to have big dramatic acting, and honestly the show didn't give him a lot of screentime in the first place. But when he does have poignant emotional moments? They feel REAL. He isn't given as much time with the audience as other characters are and he doesn't go for the broad strokes with his acting, so sometimes I think he can get lost in some of the louder acting, but that doesn't negate the fact that he's GOOD. He's a good ass actor. He plays Colin like Colin is an actual person.

And for me? For me, that hits home. Even with truncated time on his own season (yeah, I'm still bitter), he delivers every single time. Anger, betrayal, longing, heartache, silly awkward humor, heat- and he does all of those emotions BELIEVABLY. I watched Luke Newton depict Colin falling in love so beautifully and so realistically, I HAVE NO CHOICE but to give him his flowers. Just because he's not as heavy in the hustle as other actors are (please remember this is a neurodivergent actor with anxiety and dyslexia, mental health is important and it's good he took a break ) doesn't mean he's not a fantastic actor. And if you've ever seen his depiction in The Shape of Things? The man is excellent.

I think Bridgerton has a lot of 'big moves' actors. And that's fine. Many people prefer that. But I prefer the nuanced moments and the softer beats of it all, and I think if the camera had allowed us as an audience a longer glimpse into moments with Colin, we'd all be even more floored. I can watch gifs of his scenes over and over and over again and find something new every time.

So y'all can sit there and accuse others of a 'pity vote' but idgaf. Luke Newton is one of the best actors on that show. And I stand by that. Eat me.

[glitchven]

I like to imagine that Dark Choco Cookies deep voice is just him mimicking his fathers naturally deep voice so he could be more like him

[thatneoncrisis]

nobody tell me to watch angel i dont care if its good im gonna be a little bitch about it. i hate that guy i get mad every time season 4 mentions him

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

You know, for most of my life I’ve never actually felt like myself. Like I’ve always been playing a role, pretending to be someone.

I’ve never been all to dysphoric, I’ve never felt like I belonged in my body either. I lied about my favorite color for years because I thought I was supposed to like pink. I’d talk about princes and boys because I thought that’s what I was supposed to like I wore the clothes I did because I thought I was supposed to. It never felt like me.

These days I’ve changed my name and my style and everything. It still feels like I’m playing a character but I like this character so much more.

You guys have no clue how much I love the name Robin. It’s such a nice name. For years I thought “that’s a cool name” and now my friends call me Robin. I didn’t even have to ask them to do that- it wasn’t a struggle at all. They just do. And it makes me so happy. I’m not pretending to like things I don’t, or lying about my favorite color.

I still feel so disconnected from my identity. I’m not sure if I’ll ever actually feel like myself. But I love my name.

[im14andivebeen14foramonth]

(to preface this is absolutely ZERO HATE to the cast i am not speaking about cast members at all when i say this)

i love the outsiders so much and the whole cast crew and team is amazing but like. they have been acting so unusually unprofessional lately?? i know josh boone had a very particular situation and so they had to announce his departure only two days in advance. it sucked but it was one of those 'what can you do' type of situations. but then with alex's debut not being formally announced?? there's nothing wrong with alex needed to push back his debut, but there IS something wrong with the date change never being announced properly. and that wasn't the first time that many fans have been confused about something related to the show due to a lack of communication.

and now everything's getting all weird and messy because principal actors aren't announcing whether or not they're staying and no one wants a repeat of josh's departure announcement, but of course that whole thing is difficult because actors have a right to privacy and control over when they announce their leaving. that still doesn't mean that fans aren't getting antsy as we come down to literally just a few weeks, really only a couple of days, before contracts are supposed to end. again, this is nothing against the cast, i think they should be able to announce whether they're leaving or staying on their own. but everything's been piling up these past few weeks due to a lack of communication from the people in charge of the show.

also, i definitely can't say anyone's happy that the show gets extended for a few more months, only for tickets prices to rise AGAIN. the tickets are becoming ridiculously expensive, and of course this rise in price happens right around when the musical stops properly communicating important news to fans

the vibes just feel very off right now and im hoping that things start looking up

[oreolesbian]

i have… very mixed opinions on the potential casting for sam mendes’ beatles films

[vaguely-concerned]

peter benson as henry vi adding a mirthless little laugh after the second half of 'may god forgive my sins, and pardon thee', as if to add on the sentiment of lmao fat chance!! on his way out, was such an inspired choice hfkjdsah. also very sad of course. (in the 1965 version henry seems so genuine when he says that, and it's just like... what a quiet triumph it is, in the middle of black despair, that what's gentle and good in him somehow survived through everything right to the end. he's lost everything, but it hasn't changed who he fundamentally is. and what other victory can we hope for in this life when it comes right down to it. while in the 1983 version there is the sense that something has broken inside him with this last blow, with the death of his son.)

[technicolorxsn]

damn datas actor is good

[bisexualmultifandommess]

The people who are fat shaming or just being really horrible about the appearances of the actors in the live action One Piece are actually disgusting

It’s one thing to say “oh I’m a bit disappointed in this casting I expected someone else or something different” that’s fine because everyone has opinions but the people who are going after their appearances with childish insults are so rude and stupid.

Also the transphobes who are being dicks about Morgan are so stupid too because he is perfect for Koby. He’s not going to get written off just because you have a temper tantrum like a child.

[die-tenebris]

oh yeah, life update- because you all need those and expect it from me- started watching 'the fall of the house of usher' and I'm just kinda wondering like, is subtlety dead?
