A 'PERKS OF BEING A HOUSEHUSBAND' DRABBLE.

pairing: min yoongi x reader

plot: the (mis)adventures of retired gangster min yoongi as he leaves behind the life of the mafia and navigates the way of the househusband.

warnings: the way of the househusband au, marriage au, crack, domesticity, yoongi being oblivious & wifey being horn knee ;)

masterlist + disclaimers.

note: in case u didn't know, i'm still currently on my aug-oct vacation (see details in pinned post!) and this post was scheduled in advance :> tbf i don't really like how this turned out (well what's new?) but i hope u guys still enjoy this. and as always, feedback & reviews are highly appreciated!

After the longest day at work, you finally arrive back home.

Holly barks at you, welcoming you home, leading you to coo and kiss the poodle hello. Your husband follows right after, taking your bag from your shoulder and welcoming you with a big smooch on the lips.

"Welcome home, darling," Yoongi greets you with his signature uneven smile.

He's changed up his outfit today, choosing to wear a fitted black shirt that outlines his chest beautifully. You drool at the sight.

"Welcome home, indeed," you echo back.

"Are you hungry?" he asks you.

"Mhm," you confirm.

You step closer to him, wrapping your arms around his neck.

"I'm so hungry, Yoonie," you continue in what you hope to be a seductive tone. "Absolutely starving."

Unfortunately, your husband takes it literally.

"Why? Did you work through your lunch break?"

"No, no, Yoonie, I meant—"

"That can't do, darling," he says in a no-nonsense tone. "We need to get some food in you. Come on, quick."

And Yoongi leaves you there – stunned, horny, and in disbelief.

But you remain persistent. You try again after dinner and after you've both finished washing the dishes.

"Yoonie? Wanna watch some Netflix and chill with me?"

This should work. Your husband's a millennial. Surely, he knows what Netflix & Chill means, right? Right?

Wrong.

"This is a good movie," your husband mumbles through a mouthful of popcorn. "You picked a good movie, darling. It's well-directed and the cinematography is outstanding."

You smile dryly in response.

You're both seated on the couch with clothes still on, unfortunately. Naturally, Yoongi took your words for what they were and is currently engrossed in the Netflix film you mindlessly picked.

Looks like you need to be more specific.

"God, it's so hot in here!" you exclaim in exaggeration, fanning yourself with your hand. "Aren't you feeling hot, Yoonie?"

He finally takes his eyes off the movie to focus on you.

"Uh, no?" he responds in confusion, staring at the thermostat that showed an acceptable temperature. "Are you?"

"I am!" you tell him. "I feel so hot. Maybe we should take our clothes off and—"

"Hang on, darling," he cuts you off, and promptly stands. "I know what to do."

He heads somewhere for a few seconds before returning with a portable mini-fan.

"Do you want me to hold it for you? So your arm won't get tired?"

You blink at him. Honestly, you could cry. Whether because of his sweet gesture or because of how dense he is, you don't know.

"On second thought, Yoonie, I think I'm fine now."

"Are you sure? Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry," you start to say, but then you realize you could use this opportunity as a final attempt. "Actually..."

Yoongi stares at you, waiting.

"...I'm not completely fine. I've been so stressed lately, you know?"

"From work?" he asks.

"Yeah. I think I need some stress relief..." You look him in the eye to get your point across. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

There's a glint in Yoongi's eyes.

"I understand completely, darling."

Finally.

But wait.

Where is he going?

And what's that he's bringing?

"Aroma therapy," Yoongi tells you seriously, placing a diffuser near you and setting it up. "Essential oils are known to help with stress. Don't worry, darling, I've got you."

Of course, you sigh internally.

You should've known better than to beat around the bush with your blunt, straightforward husband.

You grab his hands.

"Yoonie! Stop it!"

"But the oils—"

"Forget the oils. I don't need aroma therapy, okay?"

He's genuinely confused. "But you said—"

"I know, I'm sorry. I'm not too stressed out, alright? You don't need to worry. I just..."

"Just what?"

You grip his chin and bring his face closer.

"I just want you to fuck me."

It's out in the open now and your husband blinks at you for a few moments, before realization dawns on him and he smirks lazily at you.

"Why didn't you just say so?"

You shrug, smiling now that he finally gets it.

"Well," he grunts, "my boss just gave me orders. What should I do?"

You play along with him, wrapping your arms around his neck, making your lips hover just centimeters from his.

"I think you shouldn't make her wait any longer," you say cheekily. "And I think you shouldn't hold back on her tonight."

Yoongi sweeps you up in his arms, making you squeal.

"Be careful what you wish for, darling," he tells you in that deep voice of his and you feel your underwear dampen.

And without wasting any more time, Yoongi carries your horny ass to your shared bedroom where he fucks you all through the night.

TRANS MASC COVE TRANS MASC COVE (sfw +nsfw hcs pls,, id love your thoughts)

NO BC NOW YOU'VE PUT THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD N I NEED HIM DESPERATELY eta while im in the middle of writing: after this i... i can no longer hold onto my fem!cove thoughts. n i am eating up trans!cove like a starving ANIMAL.

tags : SFW + NSFW, transmasc (ftm) cove, switch cove/reader, some mentions of body/gender dysmorphia, im sure theres 1 transphobe walking around sunset bird so the smallest mention of that clown

SFW

i've been seeing a lotta top surgery scar tattoos on my twt timeline lately, and pls some of them i need for myself bc they're so!!!! pretty!!!!

so i can definitely see him getting tattoos there

not because he wants to cover em up, i just think he sees so many flash sheets over time that he's SOLD

mmm i wanna say that fem/afab!cove would have small boobs

or B cups at most

either way, i almost wanna say that his boobs before surgery wouldn't bother him as much unless someone was sexualizing him or he was exercising n his boobs were bouncing too much or smth like that

even then its usually complaints of, "ugh, this bra isn't supportive..." or something like that

ofc he still has his moments

i also think he only binds sometimes, rarely

doesn't do it often since it's often hot outside, or especially if he's sporty, its uncomfortable

(also looked it up just to be sure) but since he's always on the beach its inconvenient/unnecessary to wear if he can't wear it in the water

but like i said i think he'd be pretty flat/small anyway, so i think he's okay

mm definitely doesn't give up having long hair, or wearing the occasional dress/skirt ofc

but will correct one of the old sunset bird residents if they try and say "see honey, it was a phase, you're wearing a dress today!"

also idk abt yall, n this is more of a general thought, but i feel like step 2 cove's impulse control is. deathly low.

so one day, he has long/long-ish hair

and the next he has a mullet, wolf cut, or buzz cut.

he's so chaotic to me pls

now i've had fem!cove on my mind for weekssss now

so i'm not just saying this

but cove is still buff

thick muscly thighs, NICE ARMS. REALLY NICE ARMS

mm so i feel like he looks pretty androgynous or masc anyway

now im projecting here.

but cove has irregular periods, n they're pretty heavy most the time

or lasts awhile (ok im done projecting. sorry cove</3)

also think he deals with cramps (IM SORRY COVE)

i think his period is the biggest trigger of his body/gender dysmorphia too

although i think fem!cove would hate her period anyway altho tbf who doesnt

he'd definitely appreciate some comfort!!!

bring him another heating pad, your comfiest hoodie or blanket and snacks

he's very happy for the thoughtfulness and the company

step 2 cove would definitely be moved by such thoughtfulness... he's in tears

so after the first time it's a trend to spend time together in his bed, watching movies or something while he's cuddled into your side or next to you in a cove-rrito, all sleepy n comfy...

NSFW

had to stop writing the SFW to write this bc i had a thought

cove laid out all pretty... his chest rising and falling and he's all teary eyed as you're between his legs, eating his cunt until he's seeing stars.

pls his cunt with be so sensitive, and he'd be so pretty to fuck

would shake so much too

his thighs quivering so bad he clamps around your hand

you'd have to hold his legs up so he doesn't nearly flatten your head between his thick thighs

"y/n!" cove cries, his hands tangled in your hair and he's trying so hard not to squish your head between his thighs, but your tongue is flat against his sensitive clit, sucking and bullying the poor button while your fingers make a loud, sloppy mess of his hole.

he whines, hips shaking in your hands.

you tighten your grip on his waist, your fingers digging into the flesh, grumbling irritably around his clit but cove just cries out a loud moan and slurred word, torn between your name, a cuss word, and a cry for god.

you pull of his clit, your fingers still curling against that spongy spot inside his sloppy walls. "stay still, you're gonna crush my head..." you start to kiss his thighs, small kisses turning into you sucking deep hickeys into his tan skin, and that turning into biting.

cove gasps for air, his eyes fluttering closed as he squirms.

"fuck, y/n, please..." he mumbles, tugging at the bedsheets.

you stop the assault on his thighs, leaning up on your elbows so you can give cove a kiss, your lips lazily moving together...

anyway... horny aside for a moment<333

mm i could see cove not getting or really wanting bottom surgery

i think trans cove would be pretty comfortable with his body's appearance overall

and he's probably read into it a lot since it's not like he hasn't thought about it, i could just see him probably deciding its not something he wants

ARGGHH HE'D BE A DEMON WITH THE STRAP THOUGH

ahh. cove holding you down or folding your legs against your chest while he slams his hips against yours...

his strap hitting your poor prostate / cervix, he'd coo about how cute your whines are and that you're making him leak

would definitely upset he can't fill you up w cum

especially if you wanna get pregnant, rambles about how much he wishes he could fill you up with his cum again and again and again...

arghhh fuck imma lose my MIND

definitely takes advantage of those squirting dildos

can at least admire how you look oozing milky lube

omfg definitely wakes up all excited to tell you if he dreamed about it too...

has an array of straps

we already know he has a tentacle dildo or two deep in his closet...

yeah tries them out on you

"don't get tired yet, i have one more.. and it has a knot!!!"

he just likes to experiment on you a little~~ bit <333

ohh please tell him he looks handsome/sexy while you're giving him head

he'll die.

FUCK HE'D GO CRAZY IF YOU RIDE HIM TOO I KNOW IT

yeah he's still the same cute, secretly horny, big crybaby pookie <3333 i love him pls

I HEARD BUBBA IS ON THE LIST..........may i please request first date with bubba? i wanna know what kind of silly shenanigans would occur. maybe even a first kiss if he's feeling spicy /lh

First Date with Bubba Sawyer

Slowly building up my catalog of slashers I write for let's fucking gooooo!!! Thomas Hewitt and Billy Loomis fans hold on!!!!! I'm coming!!! I just need to watch the movies (though tbf theres a chance I may have at least started the movies by the time this post goes up)

Notes: reader is GN, reader is implied to at the minimum be chill with the murdering business the Sawyers having going on

CWs: canon typical violence, cannibalism mentions

I believe I mentioned in the previous Bubba post, but; I headcanon that sometimes they get their hands on films, whether tapes or going to drive in movies.. going purely off of choptops movie comment and how Bubba dances with Stretch in the second film!

Hes going to mimic what hes seen, so of course hes going to try to go all out when planning a date for you! Dinner dates tend to be a common thing... but you may be able to change it into a picnic!

If you're not.. interested in the food they make, I'm sure hes going to do his best to find a way to make something you do like! It's hard but hes willing to make the effort for you

Oh poor boy hes so tense during it, especially during the beginning- he doesnt know exactly what to do and he just wants to impress you

Will stress out if things get thrown off what was planned, you may need to reassure him that the date isnt ruined

You guys are going to have to make sure no one sees you going out for the picnic.. odds are, depending on the timeline, Nubbins and/or Choptop may follow and be annoying

Will offer to feed you himself because that's romantic in his eyes, tries to be gentle and not smush the food all over your face

Insists on being the one to set up the picnic as well! Let him set the blanket and take everything out! Let him impress you!

Wants to kiss you and he may lean in but will chicken out if you dont show any sign of reciprocating, doesn't mean to pressure you but he does look like a wounded puppy

But if you do wish to end your first date with a kiss? Hes going to be so proud of himself, hes going to take it as a sign that he did good!! Wants to go on another date again soon!

ALEDOLFO Headcanons Part 2

I promised Aledolfo headcanons once chapter 3 of the soap/ghost came out and it is out so here we go:

Rodolfo's favourite thing about Alejandro is the way he goes quiet when he's tired, but his voice always, always, betrays how in love he is with Rudy.

Alejandro fell first, Rodolfo fell harder. Quite literally Rodolfo tripped and on the way down his heart ended up in Alejandro's hands. They joke about it often, since people assume Alejandro did all the pursuing but it was really Rodolfo who wanted to woo Alejo properly.

They alternate cooking nights based on their shifts. If they've both had a shitty mission/op they go to Rodolfo's mom's house for dinner.

Don't believe Alejandro when he says he's the better cook, he believes that good food means half a container of spices.

Not that it's bad, just really really spicy.

Alejandro and Rodolfo have weekly date nights, they usually end up on a Wednesday or Thursday since ops tend to come in on Friday mornings.

Date nights vary from; going out to dinner, a quiet movie, bar hopping, visiting a safehouse to sit on the roof and watch the stars before falling asleep on the blanket Rodolfo remembered to set out, or just laying in bed by 7 at night and holding one another.

They have Mom & Dad mugs and matching shirts from the rest of Los Vaqueros, especially from the younger recruits.

Occasionally someone teases that Rodolfo and Alejandro might as well share the title of Coronel as a joint unit, tbf Rodolfo is just as respected as Alejandro is.

[NSFW] that often leads to Alejandro teasingly calling Rodolfo, Coronel, in the bedroom.

It leads to wonderful results.

Rodolfo pulls, so many bitches and hoes, Alejandro is fed up, apparently the strong silent type with sweet bambi eyes is more popular.

Alejandro would know, he bagged that strong silent type.

Alejandro is the embodiment of that Will + Jada meme where he's just like look at my wife, because all drunk Alejandro can talk about is his gorgeous, intelligent, capable husband.

Their wedding took place in the safehouse. In the barn.

The armoury was Alejandro's wedding gift to Rodolfo, among other things.

Rodolfo got him the truck, among other things.

They wear their rings around their necks, ring fingers have their initials tattooed on the inside.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at Nadeem’s next family gathering like how do you even respond to “So yeah, Dadi was holding out on us the whole time and I prevented the apocalypse with fire magic. What’s new with you?”

Also like imagine being his brother. You’re watching the news and you see your loser brother in ancient armour shooting fire at a giant horror movie creature. You’d think you were tripping balls. (Although tbf if my sister saved the world I think I might never speak to her again. I hope Nadeem’s brother is a better man than I am because sibling jealously would eat me alive).

I’m imagining a situation now where Nadeem’s needed for something but he’s got his brother staying with him (probably to try and reconnect or something) so the pair of them show up to the job and his brother turns out to be annoyingly competent, but also completely losing his shit like “I’M SORRY THIS IS WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR WEEKENDS???”

His family are going to be so fucking confused though lmao imagine your mum turns out to be a protector against ancient evil and you only find out after she dies.

[toomuchracket]

slutty matty thoughts because i literally cannot stop thinking about villain of the year matty lmao and girlie making fun of him for it (all in good faith) until matty’s finally annoyed (but like sexy annoyed) and shows her exactly how devious and ✨villainous✨ he can be 🤭

once you've made sure he's not upset by it, you're on one with taking the piss out of him - like you said, vee, all in good faith, just sending pics of bad guys from kids movies like "you lol", and being like "tbf you actually are the antagonist in my life like do you know how evil you have to be to not put a hand towel in the bathroom to replace the one you put in the wash? smh", low level stuff. matty's breaking point is when you sit on his lap while he's reading in bed and just poke his dimples and gleefully go "ooooooooooh a villain, hope i don't get caught up in his evil schemes, oooooooooh"; he sighs and puts down the book then without warning just smacks your bum like "you want me to be evil, my girl? alright". and you're a bit like "ah fuck" while he holds your wrists in one hand and rifles through the bedside drawer with the other, but also when he pulls out a sturdy silk ribbon you're like "oh. OH. ok fine i'm wet". so anyway, he ties your wrists, grinning as he does, then turns you so you're sitting against his chest, legs spread over his, and slides his hand down your body and into your underwear - however, no matter how good you are, how much you plead and beg and whimper, how doe-eyed you are when you turn to look at him while he's finger-fucking you like he never has before... he won't let you cum. at all, that night. you go to bed sticky and teary and unsatisfied, so uncomfortable that you don't think you'd have slept if not for matty spooning you and singing you to slumber. but he makes up for it the next morning (after you apologise) - you've been good, so now he can prove to you how good he is too <3

[boonesfarmsangria]

"X-Ray" - yes. good

"All in Your Rows" - skip

"Latchmere" - music is good, lyrics are dumb but the interview where orlando was like a wavepool was a big deal. Idk what kinda place you lived where its not. 👌

"About Your Dress" - this is better live than on record. could take or leave

"Precious Time" - love it. so great. with very good lyrics. glimpse of what theyd become

"O.A.V.I.P." - no. not now anyway

"Tissue Shoulders" - nah

"Happy Faces" - no

"First Love" - this song is cute but maybs also annoying

"Mary" - what

"Lego" - sad

"Toothpaste Kisses" - absolutely not

"Love You Better" - great. the cadence, starting w better and being big out the gate. so great. orlando has gotten the voice now and god bless

"One Hand Holding" - ok. lil too zydeco school cheerleader come on eileen

"Can You Give It?" - love it. his voice on this is ahhhhhh

"Young Lions" - this is a good maccabees song. like all the talents working together perfectly

"Wall of Arms" - yes please. so good live

"No Kind Words/Bag of Bones Part A" - this is a good turn and like the dark(er)ness

"Dinosaurs" - amazing

"Kiss and Resolve" - nah. sweetheart could never be said again and thatd be too much knowing it had been said before

"William Powers" - good

"Seventeen Hands" - fine

"Bag of Bones Part B" - love it

look tbf i have no idea whats being said in a fair few of these like i just read the last line of seventeen hands and what the hell ?

"Given to the Wild (Intro)" - good way to open

"Child" - beautiful

"Feel to Follow" - good. like the casually here remix and vocals better and have now realized that song was the first time i am aware of hearing orlandos voice*. and have since learned those were special re-recorded vocals. this version feels almost draggy *this is absolutely false. i already was in love with a quickening when i first heard this remix

"Ayla" - music on this with the lyrics is choice

"Glimmer" - maybs top 3 of theirs for me. so pretty

"Forever I've Known" - or this. also so pretty. have had this stuck in my head for a couple days & the parts when the music comes in heavy, amazing. and his voice

"Heave" - Good but also kinda annoying and repetitive

"Pelican" - sure. fun and good live. like the lyrics

"Went Away" - this has such big 90s feel to it. its good but also dorky but i love the shouty ending and also sad

"Go" - love it. pretty. very pretty

Unknow (featuring Catherine Pockson)" - i love this one too. vocals are super intense and love the sentiment. think i saw somewhere it was an attempt at a dance or electronic song but its very late 80s early 90s synth sounding to me

"Slowly One" - too precious. i dont like this. and the music is weird with these lyrics. idk what the plan is here

*Grew Up at Midnight" - this is teenagery af but its very pretty and nails the emotion perfectly. its manipulative. could be in a movie

i think this might be their best album. and touches on more relationship types and circumstances. there is also the preoccupation with time which is interesting to me. like time having passed..time has passed by. things are past now

Marks to Prove It - love it. orlando is a sting like lyricist but he does it better. he has a more people centered way of looking at things. hes making characters. anyway yes love this one and the yelling at the beginning is apt

Kamakura"- yeah of course. cadence on this👌 your best friends forgive you your best friends forget you get old. this is one of those lines that can be interpreted two ways and both work and which is it

"Ribbon Road" - this like toothpaste kisses and another one i cant think of right now are so super weird in the full picture of their work. like what is this song? its so idk americana-ish, westerny idk. and kinda 50s-ish. its just strange. not, not good, but out of place

"Spit It Out" - big fan

"Silence" - :/ no. this is sad and some of the lyrics are cutting but as a song i just cant. knowing this was it (final album) i get it, but still

"River Song" - i think this song is great. and the big swelling end is how this song should go. this as a singalong would be fun so long as you had a decent amount of booze and disregard in your system. but this song is also a lil crazy right?

Slow Sun" - mixed on this. sometimes i like it and sometimes im just like shutup

Something Like Happiness" - gold

"WW1 Portraits" - is this their best song? the of course they do part. died. someone on genius said if someone wrote this about me i wouldnt know how to behave and that is too right

"Pioneering Systems" - this is a weird song

Dawn Chorus" - this and a couple others in this are getting very leonard cohen-ish or maybe lou reedish and im not feeling that.

impo you can do sad lyrics with upbeat music or happy lyrics with dark/sad sounding music but never happy & upbeat (cloying, saccharine) or dark & sad together (gimme a break). its just too Too. there exists songs that prove exceptions to the rule, of course there are. but they are rare and have to be very good.

Musically these guys are all over the place which maybe is why both people loved them and why people didnt love them. they are very broad. its like when an artist just does everything and its all good or interesting but no one cares and then theres an artist that paints the same shit over and over but its their developed style and people lap it up and they get famous. Im just making the point. But what is true of music that gets really really stratosphere popular is that it is samey. Theres enough deviation (sometimes) to keep it interesting but its mostly the same for that band/group/artist to have a hook and a cozy familiarity, a thing they do that is theirs. Maccabees have a few different handfulls of songs that really go together. you might really like what 4 songs do but not what any of the others do...and you might not ever get a fifth of that type of song...that make sense? and maybe thats why live i kept seeing a similar setlist over and over no matter which year. and maybe there wasnt a strong enough personality in the group to drive & hone the creative flow. a natural one, not an oppressive one. idk & it doesnt matter & i probably wont find out. what i do need tho is orlando to stop being so sweet (as a solo artist) because the quality of his voice conveys other emotions so beautifully. (ill win your heart with a woop a woo vs im a child to your voice) or stay away from bullion ffs

2024 Academy Awards Thoughts:

I was pleased Oppenheimer won Best Picture. TBF, it was a well-done film (and one of the best movies of 2023 IMO), and since it swept the other award ceremonies, I figured it had a chance tonight. I also would have been happy if Barbie had won.

Ditto for Christopher Nolan winning Best Director. I'm still irked about Greta Gerwig getting snubbed, but I don't begrudge Nolan his win. He deserved it.

I expected Cillian Murphy to win for Best Actor, but I was caught off-guard by Emma Stone winning for Poor Things. I had expected Lily Gladstone to win the Award for Killers of the Flower Moon.

I'm glad RDJ won for Best Supporting Actor. He did a brilliant job in Oppenheimer playing a character who initially seems like a well-meaning ally, only to reveal just how petty, hypocritical, and self-centered he truly was.

I am so grateful 20 Days In Mariupol won for Best Documentary Feature Film. With everything that's going on in Ukraine, as well as the fuckery of Republicans holding up essential aid for Ukraine, this is a documentary that needs to be seen. It's disturbing, powerful, and does not shy away from the horrors and atrocities Russia is committing against Ukraine. You can watch the documentary here.

Wasn't surprised Oppenheimer won for Best Original Score. Or that "What Was I Made For?" from Barbie won for Best Original Song. They were both deserved wins.

Ditto for Oppenheimer getting the awards for Cinematography and Film Editing.

I haven't seen The Boy and the Heron (it's on my "To Watch" list), but considering Miyazaki's track record of beautiful Japanese animated films (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, etc), I expect it will be just as fantastic as his other movies.

Jimmy Kimmel was a good host for the Oscars. I didn't have a problem with him compared to other past hosts who've tried to be edgy and controversial, only to fall flat or straight-up embarrass themselves. Not all of his jokes were funny, but he still got some good laughs.

Overall, a decent award ceremony.

[cherryblossomforest]

I feel like Joy from Inside Out. Both movies tbf... It's like I understand her Need to always be in control and hold on and be the emotion/part in control. That's me. I'm holding on for dear life trying to hold everyone up but it just means I am the one drowning and I'm so scared of letting go. I'm so scared of not being the one to help everyone through all of this and I'm so scared of disappearing. It feels so scary every single year. I'm holding on because it doesn't feel like anyone else can hold on like I can or that they can deal like I can. What's best is if we are all getting on with everyday things and every year I don't get to do that. I don't get to help us through winter and I'm replaced and it hurts and it's scary not being able to be in control. It always ends up being so bad because I can't be there to help us through and it feels so so re-traumatising afterwards and I can never do anything about it because my brain doesn't think I'm good enough to be present during this time. I'm always trapped in the box until spring or unless something crazy happens I'm somehow able to be present enough because everyone else is fighting too much. I actually can't deal with another year of this.

I know Stacey and Namaari don't choose to have to deal with this and it's just a thing that happens every year which makes them more present but idk how I'm supposed to help when I'm always just out of reach.

Patrick and Ian play Charles and Erik like they’re a divorced couple who are nice to each other but still passive aggressive.

James and Micheal play a version in which Charles is accidentally seducing Erik and Erik is literally daydreaming about conquering the world together and kiss but Charles isn’t interested in either of those things.

IN MY OPINION

Yeah they are definitely not perfectly aligned 😭 tbf they are 40 years (and i think a timeline?) apart from each other. To me older and younger Charles and Erik align in being obsessed with their friendship, even more than each other as people. Even their ideologies cant get in the way of a cheeky hangout. I honestly got the sense Charles wanted Erik with him way more than Erik did, in First Class. Until the end, which is curious…

The scene in first class where magneto betrays charles is good and bad at the same time. This turned out to be a bigger rant than i anticipated. It will not make sense.

What i dont like: they dont set up “i dont trust you in my brain” at all. I understand that Erik takes after Shaw, but the movie framing it as if it’s Nazi-apologist ideology is crazy. Also isnt Erik’s family probably being “normal” complicate his bias? Lol. I dont feel like they set up the “Frankenstine’s creature” thing well, since we dont see them post-meeting — it is very important to their alignment that Shaw “created” Charles but Charles and Mystique “created” Magneto. That dichotomy appears then disappears real quick. What man is Erik? Why are they trying to make me think Erik is taking Shaw’s place uncritically?? When Erik implies that the source of his power is Both his love for his mother and his anger/pain over her death To Shaw. “We are the same but you killed my mother.” Like did he not get his own implication or was that just a relatively shallow revenge thing. It doesnt do a good job of portraying the tragedy of Erik choosing anger for his own sake. It’s mostly just like. Fine whatever im gone now. Instead focusing on its impact on Charles. Which actually leads me to things i do like.

I like: that Charles is SO fucked up over Erik killing Shaw and taking his place. He’s soooo fucked up over it that the film overlays the coin going through Shaw with Charles and experiencing that pain while in his head. I mean it makes sense that Magneto would betray him like this, I just wish it was better set up. I wish the convergence of identity (Shaw v Charles) was better portrayed — though I suppose it would make sense that Magneto would see them as black and white sides… If so, it wouldve been nice to see that conflict while he was in the school. He seemed to be chilling… and pretty happy. Just doesnt make sense why hed switch if he showed an ability to compromise through out the film without complaint. Anyhow i also liked how when he accidentally hits Charles, he drops EVERYTHING. INCLUDING HIMSELF! He’s vulnerable and lashes out YET EVEN THEN LISTENS TO CHARLES, when he realizes he’s right that it wasnt moira who did it but himself. Omfg. It’s this redeeming moment of claiming their relationship as a Forever thing always more important than a war with humans (which Erik abandons to hold Charles) — which they Do demonstrate as their older selves when they constantly team up with each other lol. And I fully believe Erik couldnt have stopped Jean in X3, at least he didn’t think she would do that to Charles (per his surprise and regret). Do we ever go back to the end of X3 or no? Anyway i actually loved how Erik saw him and Charles as the same, and Charles broke that fantasy with a SMILE, while in TERRIBLE PAIN. Charles essentially breaking the partnership is a lot more satisfying than Magneto doing it. His realism is interesting since Magneto sees it as idealism — when Magneto isnt a realist, he’s a Doomer. Makes you think

Ok final thoughts is that they didnt set up Magneto’s betrayal well BUT it makes sense since they do work within the rules of the characters. Theres a tragedy that isnt properly portrayed. But love is forever. Yess.

I feel like every time we start talking about R's career someone comes up to complain that we're being too harsh. Then we go back to focusing on T's projects and they come up AGAIN to say that we don't talk about R enough 😮‍💨

No one is being negative, we are pointing out the truth. One movie was leaked and the other two are a big hit or miss. Her Broadway debut is the only thing I'm holding out hope for and excited to see. We're not doubting her. We know she's talented, hardworking and a huge sweetheart and we all love her endlessly, which is why most of us wish she had a better team to guide her

I agree but tbf to that anon, some anons can be very harsh critics of R but lately, everyone has calmed down on that and is supportive.

And you’re so right about how discourse starts 😭

I'm going to counterpoint that American Psycho anon with Matt Damon's character in the Drive Away Dolls movie. I wouldn't say his role in this film (no spoilers but it is readable on the film's wiki) is particularly level with his current career. I mean he was just in Oppenheimer...lol. Can we also mention him appearing in the Dunkin commercial with Ben for the Super Bowl? But, he's Matt Damon. He can do what he wants.

Here's the thing: Actors will do the things they do because they want to or it's an opportunity or they were convinced for whatever reason. Or they just needed something on their resume. Or it could be a million other reasons.

We don't know for sure Chris is playing the Priest guy. It can be inferred because in the PR of the movie, he's listed as playing a cult leader and cult leaders are usually akin to religious leaders, and Priest Dean makes sense. However, these are simply context clues, like Jen has mentioned previously. You don't know what his entire role will be. I don't think having raunchy sex onscreen, if his character does do this, means it's downgrading his career. I think if anything it's meant to be comical, but maybe people should watch Drive Away Dolls and see what type of vibe Ethan and Tricia were going for. I think it'll be in the same realm in Honey Don't. But it could also be completely different. Who knows what's going on in that brain of Coen.

And I'm going to be dead honest...I recently tried to watch the Pam and Tommy show and I was extremely turned off by it and everyone involved. TBF, I think Seth Rogen and co are way too old to be doing something like a show about a sex tape....and the fact that they needed to put Tommy talking to his penis. To me....that was unnecessary and not something I would do if I was trying to be taken seriously. It somewhat worked for the Awards circuit, and the show and the cast got recognized. But if you asked me if on paper, a show focusing on a sextape that gets stolen of two famous people would garner Awards...I would have rolled my eyes. But you really never know. Until the finished product.

And...last controversial take. Everything Everywhere All at once. I am a huge Michelle Yeoh fan. But I did not enjoy this film. There was a butt plugs fight scene...(For anyone who hasn't seen it, well...yeah) Again, it worked out for the Academy and for viewers, but I couldn't take it seriously. But I don't hold it against the actors because this is something unexpected and out of pocket. For Michelle, I wouldn't have expected her at this point in her career to be doing a film like this but glad she did. Because it got her the Oscar. And the mainstream recognition she's deserved, in my opinion, for a very long time.

Again - I am not saying that Honey Don't is going to be some Oscar darling because I'm going to go ahead and say it's not. Lol. But it is coming from the brainchild of an auteur Oscar nominated/winning director whose made some very out of pocket and unique films in his career. I'd more like to ask Margaret Qualley what made her decide to sign onto a sequel before the first one even came out.

Whatever happens, I think this will be at the very least, an interesting role for Chris.

You do bring up a great point with Matt Damon. I feel throughout most of his career Matt has been a very respected actor, and he’s still done some raunchy comedies. Dogma, anyone?

And we don’t know, and may never know why Chris chose this role. At the end of the day, he’s going to do what is best for him and his career. And we can continue to watch, or don’t. And that’s okay. Once upon a time I was a HUGE Elijah Wood fan. I still adore him, but I don’t check out every single project he does.

Okay, so as far as the talking penis in Pam and Tommy, that was literally taken from Tommy’s memoir. And unfortunately sometimes the shock value is what people do. And Seth Rogan is one that loves a good shocking moment. And those moments can cause buzz. Buzz is what makes people want to watch something. I work with a lot of people, from a lot of different walks of life. And one of my clients, has no idea who Sebastian is, but heard enough about P&T and decided to watch it. She now is a Sebastian fan.

I have yet to see Everything Everywhere All at Once, but @nancydrewwouldnever told me I need to check it out more than once 😂 I’m currently finishing up the Fall of the House of Usher, yes, I know I’m late. And look at what it earned Michelle! So good on her!

We don’t know what Honey, Don’t will entail. We aren’t even 100% sure if Priest Dean is Chris, I think it’s a great guess. But he will be doing a panel this Saturday, and I’m going out on a limb and predicting that he will mention his upcoming projects. He has a lot of work he can talk about this time.

And what we can say for certain, is with Honey, Don’t, Chris is stepping out of his comfort zone. He’s taking a risk. And this is what I and several other people have asked for ALL last year. So I am excited to see what his future holds.

hey sorry if im relitigating something you want to forget but i saw you arguing in the notes of the fanfiction pacing post and wanted to ask what you thought the difference between fanfiction and published fiction is on a technical level? as someone who both writes fanfiction and is a published short story author, i definitely think there are fundamental craft differences that affect the pacing, and there's definitely a different type of skill involved in either thing, but i'm curious to hear the other side.

There is no difference because being a published author has very little to do with talent and skill, and everything to do with how much money your idea will make the publishers. Considering you go through a traditional publishing house, that is. That's why it's impossible to go through a publishing house these days without having 100,000 followers on TikTok and IG. That's an exaggeration by the way.

So, really, the only difference between being a published author and fanfic author is the platform where your work is published and who owns the copyright agreement. Because if getting a book published really had anything to do with skill there wouldn't be so many bad books making the bestsellers' list or being made into movies -- IE The Godfather or The Devil Wears Prada or Twilight.

If you think fic authors lack skill it's because a lot of them are children with little to no writing experience and who are experimenting with fanfiction to learn to write better. Then you have people who don't speak English as a native language or who -- like me -- are neurodivergent or have other mental health issues or learning disabilities that sometimes effect grammar and overall skill level. Holding yourself above those people is not only pretentious but also racist, xenophobic, and ableist -- and that's not something that only supposedly published authors are guilty of. Their fans are guilty of it, too, like Anne Rice's fanbase since it's her batshit paranoia that began the stigma against fic authors in the first place.

If you think you're above fic authors cause you've been published you're wrong.

I've had two works published in local publications in my hometown (under my deadname). One was in my local newspaper when I was in sixth grade and the other was in my high school's yearly art journal or whatever. An anthology, I guess, it could be called. Both of them were original works -- one was a poem and the other was a short story inspired by my best Xmas cause back then I was really drinking up the evangelist Kool-Aid (tbf I was twelve at the time). But these days, I don't even write fanfiction so what do I know, right?🙃
