Swarla Kisses Rated [x]

1. "Don't get dressed." (22nd November 2024)

The loud noise that occurred at the moment this kiss aired was the sound of an entire population's proverbial panties dropping. Has there ever been a hotter line spoken? This is the power-necking the soap community taught us about. Swarla started off SO strong it's frankly terrifying. 14/10 Carla knew what she wanted.

2. "Have you?" (29th November 2024)

When the most confident dyke on the cobbles asks you if you've changed your mind about your feelings for her, you are required by law to stubbornly keep your hand on your hip. Even if she pushes your hair back from your face as delicately as humanly possible??? If Lisa Swain ever looked at me like that I would burst into flames. 11/10

3. "Is that better?" (16th December 2024)

We reached the domesticity era of their love in 0.2 seconds flat and I for one am not upset about it. The way Carla nuzzles in? The tilt of Lisa's head? The repetition? I was not expecting more kisses so soon in their story. The only way this could've gotten better is if they'd eaten each other's faces after this had been a clearer angle. 7/10 Carla Connor saying, “I want you.” plays on loop in my head at all times.

4. "Mmm... truffley." (20th December 2024)

The prolonged eye contact???? The dazed look on Lisa's face immediately after?? The fucking giggles???? The sheer power Carla Connor has and wields for good (ie. my own entertainment). Coronation Street said y'all deserve this. 10/10 Carla can hand feed me any day of the week.

5. "See you later." (20th December 2024)

Have you ever seen anyone look so peaceful about a decision before? Carla Connor said, "Today's the day I kiss my girlfriend in the street." I know y'all were waiting for that Live Sally Reaction and it did not disappoint. I hope they kiss each other goodbye constantly forever. 6/10 The way she analyzed Lisa's entire face before leaning forward made me scream both internally and externally.

6. New Year's Countdown (31st December 2024)

If you thought I wouldn't lose my mind over the image of them off in a corner of the pub in their own little world, you were wrong. I need to know if this was a scripting choice, an acting choice, or an editing choice for reasons. I'm never going to get sick of the way Lisa pulls Carla closer by the shoulders (almost) every time they kiss. Lisa closing her eyes like that makes my heart stop beating. 8/10

7. "Ooh, your lip!" (31st December 2024)

You ever just get aggressively snogged by a woman who's falling in love with you (while your lip is busted open from fighting bad guys)? Superheroes really don't get days off but they do get the girl. I miss the power-necking (literally a month ago?!?), but this was still so cute. 9/10 for the sheer fact that Carla needed a New Year's like this considering she dies like 12 hours later.

8. "Won't take that long." (31st December 2024)

Carla Connor isn't the only one who nearly fainted shortly after this kiss. Lisa said let me flutter my drunk eyelashes at you. The way Carla opened her mouth?? The breathy, "Shall we go to bed?" from Lisa??? The fucking forehead lean???? I am too goddamn gay for this to be on my screen. How did we get a month into this relationship and already reach 8 kiss scenes? 10/10 thanks Coronation Street for the gay rights.

9. "Please don't leave me here." (1st January 2025)

The fact that Lisa could walk away from Carla in this moment is frankly mind-blowing; her face is the same colour as Betsy's shirt. Lisa, woman, OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES. Someone said Carla looks like she died 3 hours ago and they're not wrong. 3/10 because I'm a sucker for the domestic nature of this but also I want to punch everyone in the face for not protecting our sick baby. Gold star for the Corrie makeup department and their highlighter collection.

10. "Are we okay?" (8th January 2025)

Lisa Swain's affectionate eye roll immediately after Bobby interrupted them is like 1/1000th of how we all really felt. She lingered on this kiss for so long. The hand coming up to cup Carla's head? The forehead lean again? Carla's little smile when she realized what was about to happen? Give these ladies a room that isn't in hospital or full of their children. 9/10 we're watching f/f hurt/comfort fanfiction live on ITV.

11. Comforting Hand (9th January 2025)

We're deep in the trenches of this hurt/comfort storyline now, kids. I hope Lisa plans on sitting vigil at Carla's bedside for the rest of their damn lives (yes I'm wearing my clown makeup while I watch this soap). 4/10 because my self-deprecating baby pulled away from the love and support she deserves.

12. Good Luck (13th January 2025)

As far as kisses go, this barely passes the test, but THEY ARE FAMILY. Carla, proper bricking it. Betsy, also bricking it. Good thing Lisa Swain swooped in to wish her wife girlfriend good luck with the most vanilla cheek peck known to man. Someone get them a room and a dialysis machine whirring to drown out all their kids, stat! 5/10 cause I respect the domesticity.

13. "We'll make it happen either way." (17th January 2025)

At the precise moment that Carla Connor's head settled in against Lisa Swain's shoulder and her eyes closed and she smiled that little smile while Lisa declared them a 'we', my heart officially stopped beating and I passed away. Rating this soft head kiss an 8/10 from the grave because (whatever entity you believe is on the other side) agreed with me: that's the Connor-Swain family!

14. "I'm not scared. I'm not." (20th January 2025)

Carla Connor is absolutely not scared. And she absolutely did not inch forward slightly so that Lisa could be the one to decide to hold her and make her feel safe. Absolutely none of that happened. I'm going to forever be soft about all these forehead kisses and collapsing-into-each-other hugs. Rating this a 9/10 for the utter loving, vulnerability of it all. Now, go make sweet love about it!

15. "Ugh, in my dreams." (5th February 2025)

DOMESTICITY ERA IS A GO. They greet each other with kisses, y'all. We're really in it now... we've made it! Coronation Street said have all the vanilla lip pecks you desire, cause they live together. 7/10 Because all I'm really thinking about is them staying up all night in the glow of the dialysis machine making sweet love.

16. "...the best possible future I could imagine." (5th February 2025)

Lisa Swain: Certified Softy said I'm gonna stick by you so hard, Carla Connor. Through sickness and in lunch break. I'm obsessed with how committed she gets to these hand and forehead kisses; how long she hovers on the moment, making eye contact, making sure Carla knows what she means. 8/10 This is what love looks like.

17. "Just introducing myself." (10th February 2025)

Listen, I know y'all went feral for this show of dominance kiss (and it was really such a dyke power move), but this had literally nothing to do with Carla and everything to do with Lisa and Rob's dick-measuring contest. Carla didn't even close her eyes. Do we know if she consents to public displays of affection in front of her estranged, murdering little brother and his prison guard? Grab your pitchforks cause I'm giving this a 2/10

18. "...I want him fit enough for the transplant." (10th February 2025)

Lisa really said, "I know who your brother is now, but I'm still soft for you," and we respect her for that. Even if Carla in this moment thinks she literally doesn't care. Can you hear the cogs turning in her head, Carla? Let a woman scheme. Rating this a 5/10 cause she's got a Carla-shaped space in her arms and I'm mush about it even when they're too focused on kidney transplants to kiss sloppy-style.

19. "Oh, I love you. Thank you." (12th February 2025)

A barely audible "I love you"?!?!?! I nearly didn't believe it myself. But if anything warrants such a declaration, it's Lisa running Carla a bath. This whole scene was so domestic and life-partner-coded that I could implode just thinking about it. 7/10 cause there's hands and whispering and that's like gay kryptonite.

20. "You're gonna be here when I get back..." (14th February 2025)

The arm grab. The reciprocal I love yous. The fact that they're STARING INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES AS THEY KISS. Listen, I am a weak woman and this kiss nearly took me out. Not that unlike how Mandy took Carla out of the hospital like 24 hours later. 8/10 cause I'm about ready to propose on their behalves.

21. "You tryna get away without a little kissy?" (12th March 2025)

Carla Connor certified fucking loser when it comes to Lisa Swain. Honestly, she could've said anything and that's really what she chose. But then she yanked Lisa to her by the neck and hummed through the entire thing and I very momentarily stopped dreaming about the day they'll kiss like it's November 2024 again. 8/10

22. "We can't keep around Betsy 24/7, lovey, can we?" (17 March 2025)

The pat on Lisa’s head moments before this kiss occurs will live rent-free in my mind for all eternity. Carla Connor said, “down, girl.” I’m just over here thinking about the weeks of Lisa comforting Carla with head and hand kisses and how Carla is now returning the favour. It’s about balance, folks. 7/10 for the sheer number of places they’re physically connected in this scene.

23. "Well, that's your department, missus." (17 March 2025)

Lisa Swain popped like a damn balloon with one touch from Carla Connor. You know when you’re cuddling with someone you love and you’re suddenly so exhausted because you’re so at peace? That’s this moment to me - even if Lisa’s brain is still positively swirling with stress and Carla’s is run rampant with guilt. They’re safe together and that makes this kiss pure. 6/10 for the way Lisa’s eyes close and her little smile appears.

24. "I shot my own daughter." (26 March 2025)

Thank goodness for this camera and this lens, but fuck this angle. How am I supposed to dissect kisses for ratings when I can’t even see them, Corrie?!?!? Carla’s first response to Lisa’s confession being to pull her closer makes me feel so many things all at once. They really said they’re a team, y’all. 3/10 cause I’m not heartless, I just want some words with the director and DP and editor of this episode.

25. "Tantrums and hormonal breakdowns?" (28 March 2025)

It’s so gay of them to have lasted all of 12 hours in a fight before they were collapsing into each others’ arms, crying and professing their love. I’d like the look of relief and exhaustion and peace on Lisa’s face in this moment tattooed on the inside of my eyelids so I can look at it while I try to sleep. 7/10 cause I need all of their scenes shot Big Brother style for my sanity.

26. "...we can get through anything." (28 March 2025)

There’s a vine somewhere that makes the exact squeeeeing noise that’s been playing on loop in my head since the moment this kiss aired. The fucking sound of them kissing! The eyelashes, the tears, the l o o k i n g. The SNIFFLE. 9/10 I never expect to be as gay as I am about them, and then moments like this occur and a god damn pride flag pops out of my mouth.

27. "Come 'ere." (28 March 2025)

Thank GOD Alison King is a soap queen who knows how to work those camera angles for her own coverage. I’m sick with the Sappho from the way Lisa looks up at Carla as she is pulled into this kiss/hug combo. They’re so everything I could literally die. Bury me beneath the cobbles, Corrie; I’m here until the end of this couple. 8/10

[winterf4iryy]

fuck all of you who decide to stay neutral. fuck all of you who decide to stay silent. fuck all of you who are not educating yourself about what is happening right now. fuck every celebrity that posted a notes app screenshot of empty words. fuck bbc and nbc and joe biden and the u.s and britain and nearly every western country and media outlet. fuck israel and zionists and privileged white liberals turning a blind eye. fuck all of you. israel bombed a hospital and hundreds if not thousands are dead and a father had to carry the PIECES of his sons in plastic bags because they were blown to bits. a resting place for journalists has now turned into a morgue. every day people are being killed and it’s being DOCUMENTED and you still wanna be silent and neutral and say this doesn’t involve you. your lack of humanity is vile and horrid and i hope you never know one moment of happiness the rest of your life.

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Ok, I had a hilarious idea for a Sylus x Reader fanfic, so here’s a long excerpt! This is the majority of the fanfic I have lol:

Once you’re alone, you stare straight at the security camera.

“If you’re going to spy on me, at least send the crow,” you declare before spinning on your heels and stalking away.

——————

Sylus sits back in his seat with a smirk and raised eyebrow. He takes out a slip of paper and jots something down.

————————

The next day, the mechanical bird appears outside your classroom window. You bite the inside of your lip to suppress a smirk. It seems the owner has taken your advice into consideration. Your watcher can be persuaded, which is a good sign. You’ve often had to take people out, so you’re glad you picked the right person to interact with.

You don’t spare the crow another glance while waiting for class to end.

Afterward, you casually walk into the courtyard where you last saw the critter. Your eyes sweep your surroundings to confirm the coast is clear. Then, you raise your forearm. The crow swoops in to take its perch.

Your lips twitch up. That was badass. You secretly summoned a high-tech mechanical bird down, and it responded instantly. Whoever is watching you gets bonus points for the rule of cool.

You look at the crow curiously, before noticing something on its leg.

“Excuse me,” you murmur, as you unwrap a slip of paper from its appendage.

Alright, kitten.

You blink.

You blink again, before you face screws up, confused.

“Kitten? Kitten??“ you repeat. “Is that his nickname for me? Why??”

You glance at the crow with a baffled frown.

“Fine, I’ll give your owner a nickname too… I’ll call them…“ You trail off.

You shuffle through your head for an idea. You want to stick with the animal theme. He has a crow and calls you a kitten. He must like animals, so you want to nickname him something with that in mind. However, you need an animal that’s beneath both. You furrow your eyebrows. Then, you remember Caleb’s nickname for you.

You snap your fingers.

“I’ll call your owner, Squeaker! Mice squeak and cats catch mice. It means I'll catch them eventually,” you declare, proud of yourself.

The beautiful black bird squawks, chortling in approval. Your eyes glint.

So this crow has a sense of humor. It seems sentient from its creator. You like him already. If this bird likes to bully his owner, you’ve found a friend.

You speak to the brilliant machine on your arm with reverence. “Although I also don’t know your name, oh great messenger. I’m sure Squeaker has already named you. However, I don’t know it, so I’ll give you one myself.”

You ponder before voicing your thoughts aloud.

“You’re more immaculate than Mr. Squeaker, so—Wait, is Squeaker a male?” you clarify.

The crow bobs its head.

“Thank you. As I said, you’re more prestigious than Mr. Squeaker, so your name should reflect that.”

The mechanical crow holds its head high, preening itself slightly. You grin. Yes, you like this bird. You’ll still be wary, but Mr. Squeaker has made a tempting offer of a friend.

“Yes, you are the best. Therefore, your name will be Ruby for your eyes. Rubies are often referred to as a symbol of royalty and wealth. You are certainly classy and of a noble status, my liege,” you praise, giving a slight bow to the black bird.

Your little crow friend wiggles happily on your arm, and you giggle.

“[Y/N], break is almost over!” a classmate calls.

You quietly scoff. “They’re interrupting my quality time with my bird.”

You toss your voice over your shoulder with the perfect tone of appreciation.

“Got it! I’ll be over in a second! Thanks!”

You turn back to Ruby with distaste. “Ugh, people. You, my dear, are the most interesting thing in my life, so I’ll see you later.”

You lift your arm, giving him a boost to fly away. Your new friend takes off and disappears into the trees. You have some research to do.

You jog back to your friends.

“Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it,” you reply with a cheery attitude.

You hate maintaining this persona, but it’s for your safety and protection. You’re taking a gamble with Mr. Squeaker, but if it pays off. The rewards will be great. It’s just a feeling.

————————

“Mr. Squeaker?” Sylus laughs. “Nobody has been that brave in front of me before. I look forward to the day we meet face to face, but not yet. They’re interesting. Also, I have to correct them on your name, Mephisto.”

———————

Ruby returns the next day with another note.

Cute name, sweetie, but his name is Mephisto.

“Sweetie?” you question before looking at Ruby. “Is he flirting with me, or does he give the impression of an old southern woman who calls everyone sweetie?”

The cute crow squawks, almost cackling at your suggestion. You smile.

“So not an old southern lady. Got it,” you comment before placing a thoughtful hand under your chin.

“Before I get into more theories about Squeaker, I have to address your name,” you state. “It looks like you don’t have a last name, so from now on your full name is Mephisto Ruby. Is that amiable?”

Your crow preens and you grin.

“I’m glad you like it just as much as I do, Ruby,” you reiterate.

(What do you think? Leave your comments. Can you tell I like Mephisto? Also side note: Sylus is technically not my favorite character, but man, do I like this fanfic. It’s just so funny. Reader is great. Anyway, tell me what you think!!)

I do not see enough Madeleine Hyland appreciation for the magnificent performances she consistently does in The Amazing Devil. Where is all the love for The Calling???? Pray??? "Im more than what my mum told me to be"???? Little miss Why So?

Even when i see people talking about Farewell Wanderlust i only ever hear people talking about Joeys bit at the end [which is fantastic] but. What.

Madeleines voice is so bloody good
