Are we now talking about Chris Evans movies we like where we think he was pretty good, but he didn’t *quite* hit the mark? Because for me it’s Loss of a Teardrop Diamond. Yeah, his accent was iffy but he portrayed the moral yet conflicted, handsome yet out-of-his-depth character pretty well—in hindsight, it was a good precursor to Steve Rogers. Though he also hit an “emotional wall” in a key scene here too. Still, I think he showed potential… sadly, I don’t think he’d risk doing a small but challenging movie like this again.

Honestly, that's in no way on him that TLoaTD doesn't really come together. I love Tennessee Williams, but I absolutely see why he abandoned that script after it was never produced. There was some missing part to the plot that would have helped better flesh the story out; don't know exactly what, but I know each time I watched the movie I was left feeling there was a key ingredient missing, like when you forget a spice in a recipe. I thought he did the best he could with what he had in terms of script and directing, and think it was actually an out of the box choice for his career at that time in 2007. And, hey, he looked really good in the costumes.

Oh man, this accent is really hard to replicate in writing...

[sweater-daddiesdumbdork]

To me, you are a rogue rose pumpkin cuddled up in a babybel wrapper!

But I'll choose Blueberry and 🤔, oh what the hay, you choose!

👻👻💋

Babes, I fucking love you too and we are gonna go frolic in the woods and chase after our dreams. PROMISE.

Thank you for sending this, I have been in a funk and getting to do these helps so much. Of course, I just had to pick him for you.

💋

"I hate you." You whispered at the stained ceiling above you, your soft voice carrying in the dark while you rolled your hips, dragging your clit against him while he met your hips with his own pumps upwards to fuck into you.

Warm calloused hands were gripping your thighs folded against his sides, gripping him while you bucked on him again. "at least right now." You whispered again while tilting your head to look down at the beautiful man underneath you.

His darting of freckles across a slightly tanned face made him look almost boyish, although he had been a man for a long time. Tired blue eyes looked up at you with determination and longing. "It's okay, I hate me too Honey." Came a graveled strained voice. "Oh fuck." He pushed his head back into the pillow, losing his rhythm for a moment while fingers dug harshly into your thighs. You were sure you would have his bruises tomorrow, but you didn't care.

Let him mark you, let him fill you up till your belly swelled from him, right now you were feeling apprehensive about this new venture but you had to trust him. "Just escorting?"

"Yeah, yeah..." He grasped your hips and started moving you faster, making you whimper at how good he felt pounding you on him, his cock splitting you open and you welcomed the feeling of him taking over. "Just for now she needed someone for the season, then I have that foreman job and a decent chunk of cash."

Your head nodded as you chased him, your release making your pussy tighten around him and he hissed at the sensation. "So fucking tight." He dragged out just to slam you down on his cock again. "So good baby, good girl."

Being praised made you want to give into him, your hands pressed against his sweaty chest while you rode till you pitched forward, your pussy gushing around his cock while you came with a sob of his name.

Strong arms wrapped around you while he grunted in your hair, chasing his own moment. When he came, he pulled you into his arms, clinging to each other till you lifted your head from where it was hidden against his neck, catching your breath.

"You know I love you, Jimmy." Your fingers brushed along his lips and you tilted to meet him, your kiss slow, passionate, pouring all you were feeling including that love you told him about. "I trust you. I really do. I just... hate that you have to do this."

Jimmy raced his hands up your back to push you down against his chest. Your hands slipped around his neck while you hugged him, tucking your face in against his neck. "I am doing this for us Honey, just this season to get her married off to whoever suits her and then you and I, we are set. We can finally get that house, that bit of land, start out forever."

You had to smile, hearing him talk about the future he would be sharing with you. "Dream come true Jimmy."

He hummed a bit in agreement. "Dream today, but reality tomorrow. Just be patient and I promise I will get those for us."

You wiggled in closer, another whisper, this one with hopes lacing through them. "Okay."

"I love you so much Y/N, my forevers are for just you and you alone."

You believed him, his words giving you the security needed.

You were sat on your bedroom floor crossed legged, your doll in your lap as you brushed her hair. You were setting up for a tea party in your room, it was the go to event of the season, so all the guests have to look proper.

You had just put the hairbrush down when you heard the sound of something pinging against your bedroom window. You startle slightly looking over at the window spotting another tiny pebble hit your window.

Pushing yourself up you walk over to the window, looking out to see 9 year old Jimmy Dobyne stood with a pebble in his hand. He gave you a lopsided smile when he saw you waving up to you. Taking a couple steps closer walking straight into one of your mother’s flower patch.

You push open your window leaning out to shout down to him ��Jimmy! Momma will give you a beating if she catches you trumpling her flowers!” You call down to him.

Ardra Nakshatra moodboard

I created a collection of images that I think convey the core essence of Ardra Nakshatra.

Being an Ardra rising, I feel like the themes associated with this nakshatra have been recurrent in my life often playing out in ways that make it impossible to avoid or escape the destruction and chaos that comes with it.

Knowingly and unknowingly, I manifest chaos and disorder in my life through my own actions. All these disasters happen not just because of outside forces, but also because of me, from within.

Ardra nakshatra is associated with transformation, intensity and emotional depth. I believe the effects of this nakshatra are largely psychological rather than physical. The conscious mind and the feeling heart are continuously challenged by its influence.

The teardrop symbolism represents grief, letting go of pain and cleansing. Through emotional release, healing occurs. The release of pent-up emotions along with surrender and acceptance brings compassion, empathy and understanding. These qualities are inherently pure, and I believe the diamond associated with Ardra signifies the process of cleansing pain to embody qualities that are refined and purposeful.

Ardra brings about deep emotional experiences and my life has not been short of them. Something could happen, seemingly insignificant, but in turn, it creates disorder and subsequently fuels great transformation that is oftentimes painful and emotionally taxing. A lot of tears, crying so heavily that I can't breathe anymore, wishing things were different, trying to find a way out, feeling so lost and lonely and believing that life can't get better again-these are all familiar happenings that I believe are manifestations of Ardra Nakshatra.

Since emotions are involved, there is a sense of restlessness that you feel, along with dynamism and transformative energy in your life. Change is inevitable, and you will find yourself breaking free of old patterns and as a result, reinventing yourself with every step you take. It isn't necessarily easy, but it happens, and you grow through it.

The intense feeling of loss is a significant experience yet so is regeneration. What is created afterwards may not be as beautiful as what was, but the strength and spiritual growth gained after overcoming emotional storms is incredibly comforting. Healing always follows chaos, and you can be sure of it. No matter how much time passes, there comes a point when you are not just numb to the pain, but you've risen above it. After feeling shattered, crying it out, being desperate to be saved and finally feeling peaceful and secure once again, that journey isn't miraculous; it is real, tangible and undeniable.

Tears are my friend; at least they were. Crying is an immensely purifying act. It cleans away all the pent-up emotions that are a burden and brings a lightness that feels tranquil. There is no movement where all the chaos has settled, the conscious mind is no longer racing and everything that prevails is the voice of silence.

One major lesson I learnt through my experience, and one I would attribute to Ardra Nakshatra is resilience. Problems and disruptions are a natural part of life, and I became more adaptable in the face of challenges. Happiness and pain coexist, and I do not fear either. I've overcome pain and surrendered to it. Somewhere along the line, all the painful emotional experiences and the transformation that came with them has led me to a peaceful place, one that I didn't want to find but I had to reach, maybe as fate had it.

The only way out is through.

Here are some beautiful quotes I found online that I think represent Ardra Nakshatra in all its glory.

Our real discoveries come from chaos.

And she embraced the chaos, as it painted her life with purpose.

She conquered her demons and wore her scars like wings.

There wasn't a predictable thing about her, and it was that chaos that made her interesting.

She was chaos and beauty intertwined. A tornado of roses from divine.

Chaos, leave me never.

Keep me wild

and keep me free

so that my brokenness will be,

the only beauty

the world will see.

I wanted to share my personal experience through this post and I tried my best to write it in a way that represents Ardra Nakshatra in an accurate light.

I might have made errors, but I still hope you enjoyed reading this.

🩷

P.S. I don't think I have written such an elaborate essay since high school 🤪 I obviously spent a lot of time overthinking, in pure Ardra fashion. So please know if something in this post is overcomplicated, it's because my overthinking ruined the simplicity and the charm of it. 😭🥲🙈

Also I have my 8th lord Saturn in the 1st house. It is equally transformative and overall a difficult placement in my chart. I believe my personal experience that I talked about here (although I didn't say the details) might have resulted from the combination of these two astrological forces.

P.S. again lol : I spontaneously added the song recommendation because that is how I felt whilst writing this. I always knew that song resonated closely to my personal experience at the time. The song talks about mental health struggles and depression. Since I think the intense emotional upheaval (aka chaos and depression lol) was a direct manifestation of Ardra, the song too fits the themes of the nakshatra to some extent. So I watched the music video of lovely since I haven't watched or listened to it in what feels like a very long time. I'm pleasantly surprised by what I found. There's a storm cloud in the music video and rain flows down which then freezes and disappears. Ardra's ruling deity is the storm god Rudra, his tears are said to have fallen as rain. 🥹⛈️💧⚡️

[nancydrewwouldnever]

Nancy! I need some help. I want to start a watch through of all of Chris’ work. Do you have or do you know a blog that has a comprehensive list of what’s worth watching and what’s not? Please and thank you! ❤️

I know IMDB is free but I’m also looking for what’s actually good and worth my time. 😅🫣

Oh! A comprehensive list? No, I don't know if anyone has that. I think people just make comments here and there about what they've seen and liked, and what they would suggest. I think there are only a handful of people who have seen every single project he's done. Even I can't say I've done that, as I've missed some of the earlier non-Marvel stuff, and some of this later stuff that's been on streamers I don't subscribe to. But, here, I'll start off listing what I've seen, what I would highly suggest or not, and hopefully people will pile on with reblog suggestions or comment suggestions!

(Okay, I'm not going to go in chronological order on this. I'm just winging it.)

Chris Marvel movies I would put on first: Captain America: the First Avenger, Captain America: the Winter Soldier. [I'd then put on Captain America: Civil War before the Avengers movies. But, honestly, I guess you sort of need to watch these movies in order for the interconnected plots.]

Really good movies where he showed he had some acting promise: Sunshine, Snowpiercer, Puncture (although that's really uneven), Street Kings, Knives Out, maybe Scott Pilgrim also goes in this category

Things that are silly fun for a rainy Sunday: Not Another Teen Movie, Cellular, The Losers, What's Your Number

Not that great, but I don't regret watching: Push, Before We Go, Gifted, RSDR

Things I will not watch again, and do sorta regret giving my time: both Fantastic Four films, Nanny Diaries, Battle for Terra, Playing It Cool, Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, London, Perfect Score, Fierce People

Things I haven't seen, and can't include: The Iceman, Defending Jacob, Ghosted (still, lol)

A, D, E for jimothy please? 🥺💕

Prompts from this dirty ask game, and since I am not able to make a story canonically accurate to time period or the location of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (plus I grew up in the South *gag* and don't want to relive it), this is for the Common Education, a modern AU, where Jimmy is finally taking advantage of his scholarship to NYU (not Ole Miss b/c *more gagging* sorry).

These asks do contain explicit description, so MINORS DNI.

A - Alone Time

I don't even care if this is a spoiler, but you catch him masturbating once, before you two ever even admit feelings for each other.

Jimmy's roommate, Steve, is an art history major taking several of your classes. Since Steve is sickly, you were kind enough to set up a video feed of your lectures, and Steve often plays them whenever he's feeling up to studying/reviewing. Jimmy is very used to hearing your voice come from the adjoining room of his dorm suite.

What he doesn't realize, as he's daydreaming about you laid out on one of those flimsy tables on the lecture hall platform, is you are actually visiting your student to see how Steve is doing. Jimmy isn't listening to the exact conversation; he's just thinking about you muttering quietly as he runs his hands over you.

And then Jimmy 'imagines' you saying his name, chanting it really, loudly because his touch feels so good, and he reaches his end with an "'m coming' out loud.

Which made you--who was actually knocking to say a quick hello to your former student--think it's okay to open the door, and he scrambles to cover himself in bed, mid-orgasm.

🥴 so get excited for that tale...

At the general store he took over from his drunk father back home, he only needed a computer that could calculate finances and contact suppliers, do some inventory tracking, etc. He didn't need a fancy laptop and he didn't need it at home, so Jimmy has never bothered much with porn. He had some casual girlfriends over the years, and Jimmy is...pretty good-looking. He never hurt for company.

Working 16 hour days regularly also left very little time to care about anything other than sleep.

D - Dominance

Jimmy might not be forward, but, yes, he is dominant. The largest population in his hometown was farm animals, and his own parents were a terrible example of a relationship. We are lucky he knows not to just mount someone he likes and stuff his dick in.

Jimmy was one of those men who didn't understand female pleasure until a knock-down, drag-out, drunk screaming fight with his ex at a bar. To be fair, how would he know he hadn't made her come if she faked it every time?

Anyway, he's dominant in the way that he's pretty raunchy in bed. He praises and coaches you as much as he orchestrates your position. He also does all this with respectful vocabulary but in an extremely dirty voice.

It's, uh... It's good. It's real good.

E - Extra Info

He has smoked for so long he has an oral fixation. Enjoys using his mouth on you very much. If he weren't quite vanilla in his sexual tastes, he'd probably realize there's a reason he loves you in a choker necklace. Just saying. Oh! And Jimmy go nuts over dainty, feminine things you wear. Lace panties are kinda his pinnacle of 'needs to fuck now' if he sees you wearing them.

He's never admitted to another living soul that he's had a fantasy about being cockwarmed while he stands behind the store cash register. Also, last but not least, Jimmy gets way more aggressively naughty during sex the fancier/nicer yours/his clothes are. I don't have an explanation for that, but I know it's a fact. So there. 😁

Thank you for asking!

No, they did not date, but they did party in the Bahamas together way back when. And, she was the original lead for The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond until all her personal life problems got in the way.

Did he ever date Lindsay?

Nope. I’m sure there’s the quick little rumor of their meeting on @nancydrewwouldnever blog somewhere.
