Hockey!Matt ᯓ★ Headcannons

Warnings…. there is some nsfw ahead but there is a warning before it starts but otherwise, it's pretty chill

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who.... Is a hothead on and off the ice. He couldn't help it really, ever since he was a kid he had a temper and it only got worse when he made it to the big leagues.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Is the best center and enforcer, never losing a face-off and always making sure whoever has the puck has a clear path to the goal.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Is so focused on his job he doesn't dabble in relationships unlike his brother and teammate Chris.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who.... Has a bad article written about him by a specific sports journalist.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who.... Meets said sports journalist at a press conference and can't help but find her fiery attitude attractive.

"You called me a brute if I remember correctly." He smirks, his eyes looking her up and down. "I actually said the energy you radiate when your head is in the game resembles the hulk who is a brute force. I never called you a brute specifically Sturniolo. If you're going to call me out, make sure you know what I said."

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Becomes obsessed with her after that small debacle.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Reserves a seat at every game just for her, making sure it's the best seat so she can see him play.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Pays for her to come to every game, covering travel fees, hotel expenses, as well as dining.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Takes her out for dinner after playing against the Golden Knights, the two of them having a great time drinking, eating, and laughing.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Wakes up hungover with the journalist in his bed naked....and a ring on their finger.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Is oddly calm about the situation despite the girl waking up and freaking out.

"Oh god, oh god! Did we really do what every blackout drunk people do in Vegas and get married?!" Matt stands up and pulls on his boxers, walking over to the bathroom to brush his teeth. "We did, why are you complaining?"

"Why aren't you complaining?"

"Because now I don't have to face the fear of asking you to be my girlfriend when I can just call you my wife."

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Does just as he said and calls her his wife from here on out, treating her like a wife as well.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who...Demands that she attend his games and wear his jersey.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Points to her after every goal, sometimes even skating past and blowing a kiss.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Always wears one of her signature star barrets when playing, or has it clipped to his pants pocket on a normal day, claiming it's his lucky charm

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Asks her to move in with him after 4 months of being "married".

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Despite being more of a dog person, knows she likes cats, so he gets her one as a move-in gift, claiming it's their child.

「 ✦ 𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 ✦ 」

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... The dominant energy they both have makes things in the bedroom exciting.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Loves to fuck her in the locker room after a home game win, soon taking it back to their penthouse.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Takes his frustrations of losing out on her in the bedroom, endless rounds until he feels like he 'won'

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Worships her, laying bewteen her thighs for as long as she will let him.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Won't admit it but loves when she attaches a collar around his throat, yanking on it as he drives his cock into her cunt

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Loves to fuck her while shes in his jersey, it was something about seeing the black and yellow jersey attached to her body as she begs for him to go harder that releases an animalistic drive in him

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... Loves to show off the scratches on his back in the lockerroom, enjoying the way his teammates gape at the deep scratches.

ᯓ★ Hockey!Matt who... After winning the stanley cup gives his girl the most passionate and soft sex they ever had before officially asking her to be his wife.

Purrrrr new trope! i'm very excited for this one and i'd love to do blurbs for this how i did with bunny!!

BACK WITH SOME HEADCANONS OF REVERSE FALLS, THIS TIME FEATURING FIDDLESTAN!!!

- Stanley and Fiddleford used to actually be good friends before Fiddleford met Stanford, then they fell out of touch.

- Fiddleford and Stanford were good friends but Stanford was only manipulating Fiddleford, Fiddleford noticed a year later and quit whatever evil Stanford does (idk what his goal was)

- Stanley is basically Mason and Mabel's manager/director in that tent thing (I forgot the name)

- Stanley is actually still nice to the twins, in secret though, he doesn't want Stanford to use the twins against Stanley in a bad way.

- Fiddleford didn't erase his memories after quitting Stanford's project, but couldn't tell anyone because no one believe him.

- Fiddleford and Stanley meet again after Stanford goes to prison, it takes a LONG time for Fiddleford to trust Stanley, but they do work it out afterward.

- Fiddleford had a lavender marriage with his wife, they are good friends but not actually in love. They still have there child, tate (that's his name right? Plz correct me if I'm wrong)

- Fiddleford and Stanley do fall in love after a while, but it takes long because Fiddleford was unsure if Stanley was like Stanford.

- Stanley understood but was still in love with Fiddleford (It's a little bit of an obsession but not rly, kinda like a lost puppy)

- Stanley loves gifting Fiddleford rare gems, it's his love language since he does like money, Fiddleford on the other hand, makes handmade gifts, mostly things like flowers (metal or real), chocolates, etc

- When/if Stanley and Fiddleford get married (Fiddleford and his wife obviously with divorce on good terms and stay friends), Tate would be friends/step nephew(??) with the twins(Mabel and Mason).

That's all I could think of! Put your headcanons in the comments if u want lol! :D

[doodlingant]

How tall is Therapy! Fidds compared to Ford? And what's Fiddleford up to now? (Hobbies, job, the like)

Long story short, Fidds is 6'1''ft and Ford is 5'10''ft! Though if you want the long explanation, I posted it here!

As for what he's doing, he started working on getting his memories back after the Pines found out that it IS a possibility after Stanley regained most of his! When he considered himself to be ready, he got back in contact with his son Tate and sent an apology letter to his ex wife. He's been trying to bond with his son to try and make up for the time lost, and it's actually been working out much better than building a giant robot to get his attention!

For now, he's unemployed as he doesn't really need to look for a job with the money from his patents covering all food and living costs, but he'd love to start building and fixing things again. If I had to pick a job for him, it'd have to be two; a mechanic and computer repairman! And for his hobbies, he's made trinkets and some modifications to the Northwest manor, and from time to time he likes going into town. But he doesn't do the latter that often due to people still somewhat seeing him as just the crazy old man McGucket.

Tysm for asking!!! :D

[diegoshargreevs]

ok SPOILERS don't read if you haven't finished tua season 4 - - - - - -

Can we look back to 03x10 for a sec?

That whole season Allison is heartbroken and so desperate to somehow get back to Claire and Raymond. At the end of 03x10 she get's exactly that, her perfect little family. But now where is he?? They just mention for a sec that Ray left her?? 🤨

And Luther. Luther falls in love with Sloane. A liiiitle quick maybe but whatever, it's his whole storyline of s3 and they literally marry and are happy. In the last scene Sloane disappears. "Where is she? Where's my wife?" "She was right behind me..." "I need to find her!!!!" and... now what? WHERE IS SHE? She also only get's mentioned like once in the new season but they don't tell us what exactly happened to her? Did she die, did they break up, did he just give up on finding her...?! Wtf.

The last scene after the credits, with Ben reading in the train confuses me. People speculated that it could be Umbrella-Ben but that wasn't the case so.. what was that supposed to mean then?

Now Diego and Lila. They are a spicy couple, have their ups and downs but they literally ended season 3 in a good place. They love each other. Lila was scared she wouldn't be a good mum, Diego was sure that wouldn't happen. They were excited for their baby. In the last scene they hold hands, smile at each other, say "now we live our lives" and walk away together. Now what did they do to them in season 4😭 They not only drifted apart, apparently they also both absolutely hate their lives and barely care for their kids? I mean Diego said about himself that he would be a great father and he actually did well with his fake-son stanley, but we barely get to see him with his own 3 kids. That's so sad. And Lila, well.. except for the last train scene with her family she doesn't seem to care much about their children either. She rather starts something with Five.. 😒 Which is another thing!

Five loves his family so much! He cares deeply for them and tried to save them over and over but in this season? Nothing to see of that. He's practically only in scenes together with lila and literally leaves his family and disappears right when they're getting attacked! And he shows absolutely NO remorse about falling for his brothers wife. No, he rather get's in a fight with Diego, hits him and says he "wants to fucking kill him"??? are you for real?? they all feel like completely different characters, it's like they forgot everything they did before s4. So. fucking. disappointing.

[theyaoiparable]

sorry to see someone who doesn't know how fan-designs work (and has the audacity to wish for your death. like... girl why). i'm sooo proud you told them off !! hmm,, maybe you can tell me a bit about seraph !!! like fun facts or trivia :-] TSP's fan narrator designs always are so interesting to me hehe

UWAAA TYSM.. Im the worlds BRAVEST warrior 💪 as for trivia.. I have many facts :3

- I first designed seraph back in 2018 after watching a tsp playthrough for the first time. He didn't look much like a silly old british man, But I was still an art baby and i wasnt sure how to draw Old Men yet.

- Despite not always being named "Seraph", He's always had an angelic theme to him. His current design was actually going to be a sort of "secondary form" for him, but eventually became his main.

- He's Hawaiian! Just like me :]

- Although he's supposed to have strictly Seraphim traits, He still had the Throne-like trait of the ring around his eye. This is because when I came up with this version of the design, Seraph (And "Throne", my other tsp oc) Were the same person, but eventually I made them two separate characters. The trait simply never went away

- Character-wise, Seraph is a cuddly loving gentleman, though sometimes he allows himself 2 be a little "unhinged".

- Seraph actually created a sort of "test-demo" Between 432 and Stanley- this demo is "Character_File."

- Seraph's parable is actually alive!

- Seraph's office *is* the bosses office - and instead of that big window being there, it's a mural of "himself"

- Seraphs least favorite ending is the "Not Stanley" ending- his favorite is the Freedom Ending.

- Seraph's memory zone has different flowers that symbolize different parts of his life

- In paraverse ONLY, Seraph is married to @thatstarboi 's Narrator, Moth.

- Seraph is a NERD. He loooves talking about things he's passionate about and will go on for hours at a time, unless stopped.

- Seraph, in wondergate canon, HAD a child with a woman named Kaya Wyvern- this child still exists, but doesn't remember who her parents are

- Seraph has four 'siblings' and one niece- who are just my other narrator designs. (Vibratum, Vocare, Elliot, Haven, and Novella.)

- Seraph's favorite movie is The Time Travelers Wife.

- He actually prefers coffee over tea.

- If Seraph didn't have a "job" that was Narrating, he'd be an author. He also loves libraries

[it-grrl]

Watching John Wick 3 tonight bc apparently I never saw it and the fella wants to see #4 this weekend so we're (and by we I mean me) liveblogging like it's 2009. Snacks: nearby. Disbelief: suspended. Let's go.

10:15p HE IS IN A WEAPON MUSEUM. EXCELLENT START. I have not seen a sillier amount of knives thrown around outside of an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon.

10:23 Now he is on a horse with the most beautiful hair in the world. Truly the Keanu Reeves of horses. (Side note: horses naturally have violence in their hearts this makes sense)

1027 fuck yeah Anjelica Houston is running the Department of Tragic Backstory. Oooooh she has Caravaggio's Judith Beheading Holofernes over her mantle. Gentileschi's two versions of Judith Slaying Holofernes were my hyperfixation last fall so I happen to have a coffee table book in front of me with that exact painting in it.

10:36 The Adjudicator is staying in room 217 at the Continental, the room number Stephen King stayed in at the Stanley Hotel and got spooked and wrote a shining.

10:50 Not for nothing but I feel like Anjelica Houston got off a little easy with a punishment that was essentially Double Avocado Slicing Accident. Oh and a lot of her henchfolk got murdered I guess.

10:55 Is the "seek the dog star" reference bc everything is dog themed here or bc. Y'know. Dogstar.

10:57 Retuning to our Dog Revenge roots I see. (Important note: The dog is okay!) Side note: you know there was a long writers' room conversation about making John Wick's new dog a super cool dog assassin and someone was like "no, he doesn't want that life for his dog but I do like the sound of 'dog assassin.'" so they had to make up some new dog characters to be dog assassins.

11:08 Larry Fish is just the best. That is all.

11:14 Jesus Fuck why is every IOU in this universe cashed in with a side of Body Horror?! Also I had always assumed that was his wedding ring on account of John Wick being a Dead Wife Guy. (I have a whole Wife Guy Taxonomy post I'm pecking at btw.)

11:18 Motorcycle Katana Fight. Followed by John Wick literally touching Base to be declared safe in Murder Tag.

11:23 Chekhov's Very Pointy Chess Pieces?

11:25 The thing about these movies is every single actor in it seems to be having a goddamn blast.

11:32: Activate the Emergency Color Changing Rope Lights! Big fancy switch for what nerds do with a smart speaker.

11:43 This series fucking LOVES a Hall Of Mirrors fight. Love how everyone is like "it is an absolute honor to try and murder you sir. Big fan, sir. HUGE fan."

11:48 I'm sure someone has written a solid essay on why John Wick is hot in a tumblrina sort of way, all I have is this wall covered in thumbtacks and red string and scraps of paper with things like "SUIT ACTUALLY FITS" and "PERPETUALLY DAMP" "IS KEANU REEVES" and "BLOOD?" written on them.

11:58 OOF. That was a lot of falls. Baby boy is having such a week.

12:00a LAR. RY. FIIIIIIIIIIISH.

Well dang I guess I was wrong about the Very Pointy Chess Set. I do hope ol' JDubs gets like, 12 hours to a week to catch some sleep and not get shot at between the end of #3 and the beginning of #4.

[thenixkat]

""Soleil and Stanley learn there’s more to each other than they thought as they try to save Stanley’s sister, Cece, from rougarou Missy. Pat and Maybe search for offerings to summon Ogoun when creepy voices that only Pat can hear call out to them for help.'' ep 3 is a werewolf ep! also yeah character's names Soleil is the protag. Stanley the psycometry boy. Pat voodoo boy. Maybe is talks to teh dead kid. Missy is the alpha bitch turned literal alpha bitch

in this newly turned rougarou crave the bones of children. Its apparently something they grow out of

Lou Garou said if yall keep his secret he'll keep their secret. B/c folks knowing that rugarou are real could be dangerous i assume people would be bothered by the craves the bones of children thing

"You actually feast on the bones of children?!" "It's just the urge to eat kids" apparently, she'll try to go after a kid she loves. Lou Garou: I know, I know, curses suck ah she'll try to eat Stanley's baby sister since she adores the kid. The kids have been ordered to get the baby to the Garou pizza shop b/c its reinforced against rougarou b/c poker nights get wild Stanley is very concerned about his friend trying to eat his baby sister yeah Stanley is not a smart boy. Hears in the right place but not great in the thinking department. Probably why the Loa of wisdom blessed him this is a dark ass kids show Pat and Maybe to to the apocathary to get railroad spikes to offer to Ogoun

yeah ok I guessed right Stanley is hispanic the mayor was not surprised to see a rougarou out the window uh Pat… yer probably not hearing human people think twice before opening a locked door to free a bunch of trapped hungry who knows what in the apocathary Stanley: Do you think it's kind of messed up that rougarous like to eat kids and they have a play pit here? Soleil: You read my mind.

apparently the local pizza shop rougarou are very confident about not giving into their urges to eat children as their resturant has a play area for kids Missy is not deterred from her quest to devour the baby oh the people that Pat was hearing were a bunch of snakes in glass tanks in the basement of the apaocathary apparently, folks needing railroad spikes in the middle of the night is not an uncommon occurrence in that neighborhood. Stanley tries to 'I know yer in there pls dont eat my baby sister' Missy doesnt work the best

oh another good veve Ogoun took all of the cooking utensils to form himself Ogoun lets Missy wear herself out trying to injure him and gives her a talk once she's calmed down also the local rugarou pack finally show up and are glad no one got eaten. Missy tells the pack she not gonna take them up on talking with them about shit b/c she doesn't plan on transforming again. And tells the rest of the kids the heartfelt moment changes nothing about the fact that she doesnt like them also apparently chamomille can kill rougarou, and Lou tries to tell Missy this b/c she should know the basics the kids find out through an offhand comment that vampires are also real

Stanley asks Soleil if he can be her friend b/c she's pretty cool all the other kids are becoming friends ah the mayor does know about the rougarou and demands to know which one destroyed his garden local demon overhears the mayor talking at his wife's grave and makes a deal with him help the demon regain its power and it will help him get vengeance b/c that will go well

[themochimadeoftaro]

TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME EVERYTHING. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU WANT SHAKING YOU. I LOVE THESE MUSICIANS

HI HI HI HI SODA

thank you

This post will be loose facts and ideas that I have! Long post ahead :)

I Hear a Symphony by Cody Fry is the song that'd best describe musician au. Casual, classic, probably too obvious, I know, but it was part of the inspiration that I had for the au

Stanley's favourite classical music to play is Debussy! (Projecting much?)

Narrator has a real name in the au (besides Narrator of course), but his title was earned through publishing books, so he wears it with pride. If you ask him his name, his first thought would be saying "The Narrator" rather than his original name

Following the last point, if you ask Narrator for his legal name, he'd be offended as if you ask a trans person their deadname

Stanley started learning piano at 20 years old, all self taught. He's not against classes and actually encourages them, but he feels that they don't let him have the freedom he always looks for when playing

Narrator doesn't care about gender labels, and doesn't mind it/its pronouns! (But he strongly prefers he/him)

Stanley is 34 years old, while Narrator is 51

Whenever I think of a city where the AU develops, it's always a mixture between New York and Brighton (mostly Brighton). It is smaller than those, but I'm following the vibes

Stanley was born and raised in Mexico

Narrator had a wife and a daughter, but after he got divorced he got pretty distant from them. But each 5-6 months, he will have a dinner with his daughter, just to catch up with things

Following last point, Narrator is fluent in ASL due to his daughter being deaf

Stanley, besides knowing piano, guitar and accordion, has tried playing flute, trumpet and violin. He never got into any of them (but sometimes he will grab a trumpet from the theatre just to practice it more. He thinks it's silly)

Stanley only has contact with his older sister, Mariella. She was the only one who supported him through his transicion and musician career. They're pretty close

Stanley had a fiancé, but somehow it never worked out. They still talk from time to time, and are actually really good friends. Both think it was the best to stay that way

Narrator has a tuxedo cat, her name is Sally. She loves him very dearly, and sometimes she will go with Narrator to Stanley's apartment

Stanley loves rhythm games.

Thanks to 432, the mysterious guard that takes care of the theatre Stanley works in, Narrator has been able to visit Stanley after a concert. Narrator never got their name, and only knows them by 432, the number they have on their back

That would be all facts that come from the top of my head!!! Some are useless, some are pretty lore related ><

If you guys have more questions, ask them!! I'll be happy to answer :D (and please be specific or I'll ramble a lot HEHEHWEHE) (requests are open too [musician au related preferably])

[grittyreadsfic]

Oh Grits, let me break down the premise of the Sid/Nolan fic, for you. Nolan traded to the Pens at the last minute, devestated, doesn't have time to say goodbye. He goes about fitting in with his new team, gets close to Zhenya (because I leaned into the Ukrainian thing, and I have a friend who speaks Ukrainian and I, a Russian, can understand 90% of what she says when she talks) and gets VERY close to McCann because he is the best boy and WAY too good for the Toronto Leeks ((((((. Nolan and Sid eventually bond over them both having hopeless crushes on their best friends who are very much married with children (I'm sure you can guess who those best friends are, respectivley) and after a long grueling fight to the (spolier) Stanley Cup they eventually fall in love. Wahoo.

I am absolutely gonna push through typing while having only one arm and start writing TONIGHT about sad boy Nolan Patrick laying awake in a bed in the Fluery house guestroom wondering if he is a bad person for having a crush on his new goalies wife and wondering if said goalie is just very French or if he actually meant something when he called Nolan beautiful earlier that day.

If you have noticed a theme in all 800 of my current wips I literally just write about Nolan Patrick being loved! Love him! Somebody, anybody.

OH? picture me, chin in hands, staring intently at this ask in interest (you're so mean to the leafs wow i respect it but they do have willy nylander my beloved <3) we LOVE to see fics where ppl bond over hopeless crushes!!!! it's an underutilized trope (doesn't matter if they fall in love or if they end up with said crushes because they're not so hopeless it's the bonding experience that does it for me!!!!! so good! so fun! so fresh!)

(also yes the ukrainian russian connection i have witnessed this irl i support this)

IF HE'S JUST VERY FRENCH I'M YELLING YES EXACTLY YOU GET IT (out of curiosity how well does voice to text work for you would that be a simpler option for you i know some ppl use it for writing, have you tried that?)

listen i have so much respect for you for that, someone has to do it!!!!

He confides in no one except his wife. On the surface their marriage would seem to be a casual affair. That’s because their understanding and accord are so deep they don’t need the usual outward manifestations. His soft, graceful manner on the screen is the real Kelly. He’s that way in his private life. He still takes off his hat in elevators when ladies are present. He has an instinctive appreciation for children. He treats them as equals and reserves a special grin and wink combination which never fails to put them at ease… He doesn’t complain about roles, and is completely without star temperament. He believes in the Biblical admonition to speak of one’s neighbor only if there is something good to say. He will perform at parties only if everyone else does… He is always pained when he hears people who have made their fame and fortune in Hollywood speak disparagingly about movies. Source unknown Whether you’re working with him or just being his friend, it ends up as your way of life.

News Of The World, British tabloid newspaper speacialising in sleaze!

Must be all that cleansing rain.

He isn’t out to trample on the other guys while getting to the top himself. Christopher Walken. TCM tribute With his handsome face and his charismatic smile he was a natural leading man and that small scar added a rugged quality to his everyman good looks. The ladies loved him, he was charming, sure of himself. Toyah Wilcox. British actress Gene Kelly! I mean, the sexiest man. That behind...ooooh!! Avis Scott, English actress Gene Kelly was a darling man Bob Fosse. He’s like a guy in your bowling team, only classier. Hollywood columnist Joyce Haber (one time ?‘love interest’ of Gene) You have to go a long way to find a man who compares to Gene. He’s so outgoing and thoughtful. Newspaper quote, source unknown, possibly 1941, New York: Gene Kelly, dancer, director, singer, comic, choreographer and all-round ball of fire. Motion Picture. January 1943 …In short, he has “socko” appeal – the kind of appeal that women love. His trick? It seems from here that it’s his smile – the most ingratiating smile you’ll see in a long time…As screen heroes go, Gene isn’t one of your handsome heroes. He’s no Adonis in face or figure. He even has a very prominent scar on his face…”Everyone’s been trying to get me to cover that scar up,” he said, “but why should I? Just covering the scar wouldn’t turn me into a glamour boy.” His voice is not romantic either. It hasn’t the tone or timbre that make women dream of being with Boyer on a tropical island. “I’m going to try to change my diction, though,” Gene explained. “I want to get that New York twang out of me if possible.” Gene has dark, slick hair that makes you think he might be Italian instead of Irish. But he’s as Irish as the ould sod…He’s five feet, ten. ”I’m really five feet, nine,” he says, But Betsy, my wife, says to tell everyone I’m five, ten, so I’ll make her happy.” He weighs 165. “I’m really only supposed to weigh 157, but the sunshine and food here, and the waiting around on the stage, have fattened me up." ...Gene hates to dress up…His initial appearance in Hollywood society was anything but outstanding. He had come home late from the studio and was supposed to attend an elaborate party that night, a charity affair….he had nothing to wear. Thinking fast, he called up Richard Whorf and borrowed his pants. He had on the coat he had been wearing in Dubarry that day, so he kept it on. The only shoes he had, however, were the ones he had worn in New York in Pal Joey and they were practically falling to pieces. Then Tommy Dorsey completed the make-shift by lending him his studs. “I felt like a country hick,” Gene Laughed. “If anyone had asked me to dance, I’d have definitely lost my pants. I was hiking them up all evening – and praying that I’d get out without any embarrassing damage.”

The Genius of Continuity Errors

Continuity errors, Easter eggs, and general mistakes are things that movie analyzers LOVE to point out in great lists. Of course, it's almost always a given that in such a big production such as a movie or TV show that some things are going to slip through the cracks.

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD FOR THE FOLLOWING:

-The Devils Advocate

-Hercules

-Jacobs Ladder

-The Shining

Some of the most famous continuity errors are from pretty simple, straight forward, feel-good type movies. In Hercules, the animated Disney classic that definitely doesn't make every Greek Mythology/Percy Jackson fan cringe at factual errors, Hercules is seen touching the river (whirlpool) Styx that is also hundreds of feet down.

In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts as Vivian is eating a croissant in one shot but a pancake in the other.

They can even be so constant as to happen multiple times throughout an entire movie, like in the original Wizard of Oz where Dorothy played as Judy Garland has her hair length changed multiple times from short and long in the entire film.

And of course, these are just small and simple mistakes in movies with a simple plotline and no crazy twists at the end, but what about movies like Jacobs Ladder? Where the main character is revealed to have been dreaming the whole thing? The IMBD page points out three unmistakeable mistakes:

These mistakes could just be mistakes, or they could be foreshadowing to the ending. With a movie such as this, it's possible that it's just a well fitting mishap.

In The Devils Advocate, a similar thing occurs. I'm unwilling to post a picture as it does involve nudity, but during a sex scene Kevin and his wife Mary Anne are sitting, but are then standing without having ever moved. But they're also three other errors that occur according to the IMDB page:

At the end of this movie, it also reveals that Kevin had been in the bathroom imagining the whole thing the entire time. So does this mean those errors we're because of the fickle nature of the human brain? Or were they accidents due to the fickle nature of a director's brain?

One of my favorite examples of continuity errors that are confirmed NOT errors are those in The Shining. First off, the lovingly named ”Impossible window” in the Overlook hotel.

And the Hedge Maze’s inability to be seen from the many outsides shots of the Overlook, despite its massive size.

I've heard it said that Stanley Kubrick, the amazing and well-known director of the movie, did this on purpose. Even though it is never revealed and can be safely assumed that nothing is imagined or dreamt, these inconsistencies in architecture specifically related to the hotel are done to give us a subconscious and unsettling feeling. Other confusing and winding hallways shown in the film make us lost, and the repetitive patterns in the Native American motifs overwhelm our eyes and make a supposedly dead place seem busy with not explanation.

The Shining is specifically what makes me wonder: how many continuity errors are ACTUALLY errors, and which ones are there to tell a story? In movies that end with a ”and then I woke up” trope, what are accidents meant to foreshadow that, and what is not?

You clutched the armrest on the plane for dear life as you just so happened to hit a patch of bumpy air. Your white-knuckled grasp along with your shallow breathing drew the attention of the man you loved most in the world.

"Relax, darling. It's just a spot of turbulence. Nothing to fret," he soothes you in that oh-so-charming accent.

You smiled anxiously at him as he placed his hand atop yours and rubbed circles along your knuckles with the pad of his thumb. If only he knew the real reason you were scared to death right now. You were on a plane headed across the Atlantic to meet his family for the first time.

He'd already met yours long ago during the early stages of the relationship. It was a rather lackluster affair as you only had your dad and his wife, plus the two little balls of energy you called your step-sisters. Though you were well into your 3rd year of being together, you were still terrified of meeting his family.

Thus, your death grip on the poor armrest. As if sensing the elevation of your unease, he turned in his seat toward you. "What is it, love?"

"Imaybesortascaredtomeetyourfamily," you mumbled out low and quick. A tiny bit of relief swelled in you from just saying it out loud. But, your beloved hadn't quite heard you.

He leans closer with a chuckle as he asks you to repeat it. "I'm sorry, I couldn't make that out. You're speaking too low, darling."

Rolling your eyes and giving a sigh of resignation, you repeat it slightly loud enough for him to hear. Although you said it at the same pace as before, "IMAYBESORTASCAREDTOMEETYOURFAMILY! Okay?"

Your cheeks flushed with the color of embarrassment that you were this nervous. But he simply leaned over and kissed your temple, putting your nerves at ease.

"There's nothing to be scared of, y/n. I've told them loads about you and they love you already," he says reassuringly.

You scrunch your nose at him. "What if I don't live up to the hype?"

"Just trust me. I love you so so much. They have to love you, too," he whispers adoringly in your ear. You smile and rest your head on his shoulder as you release your grip on the seat and replace it with his hand.

Just like that, all the tension had left your body. You were no longer filled with anxiety, but with anticipation and excitement of meeting the love of your life's family for the first time.

Time flew by and before you knew it, you found yourself outside of the Holland household. Tom moves to ascend the steps but stops, noticing that you aren't right behind him.

"We talked about this, love," he reminded you.

You roll your shoulders as you take a deep breath. "What? Yeah. No, I know. I'm just-I just need a second to remember all the names," you admitted with your brows furrowed in concentration.

He rolls his eyes as he comes back down the few steps he's taken and grabs you by the hand to pull you along. "I will introduce you first, y/n. It's not a test," he assures you once again through a chuckle.

"Yeah. Okay. No. Yeah, I can do this. I've got this. It's just the names of my future family right? They're not gonna be offended if I mess it up the first twenty times..." you continue to mumble to yourself as Tom has already opened up the front door and led you inside.

You're still repeating the names and trying to attach them to faces you've seen in pictures when he stops and you stumble into his back. You peek out from over his shoulder and see the whole gang except for his mom standing around the dining table.

"What's going on?" You whisper.

He leans his head slightly toward you as he whispers back, "I haven't the faintest idea." You saw his mouth twitch up ever-so-slightly, and you knew he was fibbing.

"For an actor, you're not very good at keeping secrets," you say as you step out from behind him.

He clutches his heart and feigns a hurt expression. "Darling, your roasting hurts," he says over-dramatically.

"There's a reason Marvel doesn't give you scripts! I mean you just posted the title for Spider-Man 2 on your Instagram and Twitter," you remind him with a giggle.

He shrugs before taking your bag and setting it down next to the stairs. Suddenly, his mother comes around the corner delicately balancing a tray on both of her arms. "Is that a cake? Tom, why does she have a cake?"

"Well..." he says taking you by the hand leading you closer to the table. "I told them that it was your birthday just last week and they wanted to throw you a little party."

You put one hand over your heart as you watch Nikki light the candles. "Aw, you guys didn't have to do all this," you say with your voice full of soft emotions.

His mother smiles brightly at you. "Nonsense! You're family! We celebrate every member’s birthday 'round here," she says in such a mother-like tone that your heart melts further.

After blowing out the candles and everyone having a slice, you slowly mingle with each other while eating more cake. You were talking with Nikki and Dominic while Tom had started to play-fight with his littlest brother Paddy.

You can't help but giggle as you watch him exaggeratedly fall to the ground in defeat. God, you loved him more than anything. Excusing yourself from the two, you head over to make introductions with his brothers.

Paddy was the easy one to get along with. "Just call me Pads like the rest of the family does. You're one of us now," he says with a goofy little grin.

You smiled brightly back at him. "Okay, Pads." You made a show of annunciating his name and he went back to the table for more cake. Turning to Tom, you open your mouth to say something when there's a loud stomp right next to you accompanied by a scream and hands on your shoulders.

You squeal in surprise and turn to see the twins doubled over laughing. "Oh, you guys are real clever," you say as you fall into the laughter with them.

Tom joins you with an arm around your waist and begins to make introductions. You cut him off quickly, wanting to prove that you could remember the difference. "Okay so...you," you say pointing to the one with the slightly darker and longer hair, "are Sam and that makes you Harry." You point at the other as you finish proudly.

The two share a silent glance with unreadable expressions. Your face falls as the first one speaks up. "Actually, I'm Harry and that's Sam," he says with a sigh.

Wide-eyed, you turn to Tom. Your expression falls into that of annoyance as you see him snickering. "Oh, you boys think you're so funny," you say as a mischievous smirk takes up residence on your lips. The two nod while holding back laughter.

"Well, Fred and George," you say menacingly as you slowly pick up your piece of cake in the palm of your hand. "Let's see if you think THIS is funny!"

You launch your cake filled hand at Sam. The cake and icing smush into his face so satisfyingly that you start to laugh uncontrollably. "Oh, they've started a war now!" He chuckles out.

You squeal as he runs to the table and grabs another fistful of cake and throws it at you. You deftly doge to the left, leaving the only thing in its path...Tom. You point and laugh as it explodes all over his throat and chin.

"You think that's funny, yeah?" He says with that smirk and you know you're in trouble. The whole dining room falls into chaos as cake is flying and landing every which way and soon you're all out of breath from laughing and yelling so loud.

The cake looks like it exploded from how many hands have just dug into it. You can't remember the last time you laughed or played that hard with family. After a long shower with Tom to scrub the cake off of each other, you settle into bed with his arms wrapped around you.

"So was it as scary as you thought?" He hums lowly into your ear, sending shivers down your spine.

You shake your head as you bite your lip to contain your grin. "Not at all. In fact...I'm surprised by how much it felt," you pause, looking for the right words.

"Felt like what, darling?"

You smile softly. "How much it felt like home," you let out a short content laugh before continuing, "how much they felt like they were already family. I realized tonight that no matter where we travel...I'll always be home. You're my home, Tom."

"You're my home too, love," he reciprocates as he plants kisses in your hair.

You turn in his arms so that your noses are an inch apart and you’re staring right into his hazelnut eyes. “Let’s get married,” you whisper happily.

“That’s my line,” he says as he rubs his nose against yours. “I accept, nonetheless. We’ll go down to the jewelers once we get back to the states and pick you ou-“

You cut him off by quickly pressing your lips to his. After retracting, you speak again, “No. I don’t wanna until we’re back in the states!”

“Well, I suppose we could find a chapel sometime later this wee-“

“THOMAS STANLEY HOLLAND,” you say his full name to grab his attention.

He looks at you quizzically.

“I cannot spend another second not married to you,” you say as your smile grows wider.

His lips turn upward as well. “It’s the middle of the night, y/n. What do you propose we do? Where are you going?”

You’re already up and out of the bed slipping your shoes on with one hand and googling something on your phone with the other.

“Don’t just lay there! Put your shoes on and call Haz! We’re gonna need a witness...” you begin to mumble as you walk around his room for looking for something, not really knowing what.

He’s totally lost but follows your lead all the same. “Even if I get Haz, who’s gonna marry us at this hour?”

“Are your parents heavy sleepers?” He shakes his head and opens his mouth to speak but he’s cut off as you start yelling. “EVERYBODY WAKE UUUUPPPP!!!”

Tom can hear your yelling getting further away as you leave the room and run through the house. Sleepy and grumpy boys shuffle from their rooms rubbing their eyes. While Nikki and Dominic, look concerned as their door flings open.

“What’s going on? What’s happened??”

You turn around quickly to face them. “Tom and I are getting married tonight! And we want the two of you to marry us!” You announce.

Everyone’s faces fall into shocked expressions. Tom finally comes out of the room, phone pressed to his ear. Presumably, on the phone with Harrison.

“Give them whatever they want. We’re doing this thing,” he chuckles as he looks at you adoringly.

You beam proudly. “Okay so you two just click this button right here and you’ll be ordained to marry us!” You jump excitedly with the phone, making it hard for them to press.

It doesn’t take long for Harrison to drive over in his pajamas, still not believing Tom when he said he’s getting married by his parents at 1 in the morning. But, when he walks in and sees you all standing in the wedding positions in the living room he grins.

“So this is a real thing?” He claps Tom on the back as he stands next to his dad and mom. He simply nods, beaming with excitement.

You’re practically vibrating out of your pajamas, you’re so ecstatic. The extremely small ceremony begins and you blush the whole time, eyes never leaving Tom’s.

Finally, and mercifully, it was time for vows.

He looks surprised. “I have nothing prepared-“

“You always do best when you improvise,” you encourage him.

He smiles gratefully at you, seemingly knowing the exact words he’s gonna say now.

“Y/n...you have never once questioned or doubted my ability to do anything. And I mean, anything. Like even the things I was one hundred percent sure I couldn’t do. Just as you have absolute faith in me, I have absolute faith in you. I am one hundred percent sure that you are the only one for me. You accept and love me for who I am, and not what I am...”

You can’t help but tease him a little. “Frog and all,” you giggle. He rolls his eyes, chuckling.

“Frog and all...When I’m with you...we have crazy adventures with lots of laughs even in what seems like a boring situation. You are the only person I would ever want to get married to at 1 am in our pajamas in my living room because you are absolutely the only person I know that would roast me during our vows. I promise to always be your home, even when we aren’t together. I promise to love and support you as you do me. Forever.”

He smiles softly at you. You sniffle, not being able to contain the pure happiness you felt when he said those things. “Don’t cry, love. You’re gonna make me do it, too,” he warns.

You take a deep breath, composing yourself in order to be able to speak.

“Tom...I have never once questioned or doubted you because you have never once proven me wrong about how amazing and wonderful you are. You do those things that you’re one hundred percent sure you can’t and you show me that the impossible is possible. I’ve never met anyone as kind or as understanding as you...”

Your lip quivers and you take a breath again.

“Even though we have crazy adventures and lots have laughs...you don’t stop loving me when I have bad days. The days that I can’t see anything but gray, you sit with me in silence until I can see the colors again. You are the only person who would let me roast them during our vows and yet love me more for it. Your promise is already kept because you are my love, my heart, and my home. I promise to be yours as well. And I promise to love and support you as you do me. Always.”

He reaches over to swipe a tear off of your cheek with his thumb and you do the same to him. You both lean into the other’s hand as they continue, noticing how misty-eyed everyone else has become.

“Do you, Thomas Stanley Holland, take y/n y/m/n y/l/n to be your partner and companion, as long as you both shall live?” Nikki asks trying to keep her voice from faltering.

“Oh, absolutely. I do.” He chuckles.

You begin jumping a bit in your spot, the anticipation killing you.

“Do you, y/n y/m/n y/l/n, take Thomas Stanley Holland to be your partner and companion, as long as you both shall live?” Dominic asks you, having the same quiver in his voice as Nikki.

“Forget as long as we live! You can’t get rid of me that easy, Holland. If I die first, I’m haunting you, and I expect you to do the same!” You chuckle.

Dominic clears his throat a little.“Oh! Yes. I do, I do, I do, I FRICKING do!”

Speaking in harmony his parents close the ceremony. “You may now kis-“

Like supercharged magnets, Tom’s hand finds the back of your neck to connect you to his lips in the softest yet most passionate kiss the two of you had ever shared. Your family claps and cheers in the background as he dips you, kissing you deeper.

“To think...you were scared of meeting my family, y/n,” he says as he looks deeply into your eyes after lifting you up.

You shrug, the giddiness on your face evident. “You’re the one that told me I had nothing to fret. They’re our family now,” you say with a happy sigh.

He rests his forehead against yours as the two of you fall into a fit of giggles.
