I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 1x1

And I met Lauren for the first time, and I was just like, wow, wow, this is this is fantastic. She's she's a bit overwhelming when you meet her because there's a lot, a lot of beauty, a lot of intelligence flying. Yeah, she's tall, so it's a striking figure. And she was just so kind and warm and welcoming and we had a drink....[Did someone tell you to wear a hat backwards or was that you?] I walked in that way. I walked into the audition that way because that's how I dressed. You know, I have a flowing locks and a real thick mane of hair. I like to cover it up, um sometimes. -Scott

There are two types of people during the "Pretend" scenes in Reckless

Kai/Paedyn: Pretend.

My bff: Oh you have got to be sh*tting me JUST CONFESS DAMN IT!! NO ONE IS PRETENDING HERE!! WHY ARE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS UGH!!! YOU BOTH WANT TO DO THIS STOP LYING TO EACH OTHER!! I HATE THE WORD PRETEND!!!

.........

Kai/Paedyn: Pretend.

Me, sitting down, grabbing my tea and popcorn, giggling and tucking my hair behind my ear knowing I'm about to witness one of the most romantic and tension filled scenes ever written: I LOVE THE WORD PRETEND!!!

Nightmare Time 3:

if we ever get a NMT3 (🤞), not that I want to see the return of the abusive husband character cause he can choke and die, but like�� Becky leaves Stanley to die in the Witchwood.

Emma says it in Perky’s Buds and it’s reinforced in Abstinence Camp with Little Jerry

“Things grow here. They grow fast, and big, and different.”

And uhhhhh, the dead don’t really die in Hatchetfield always and a person who’s not CONFIRMED to be dead? I cannot help but wonder if he’s been mutated by the Witchwood and still out there and I think that could be a compelling episode centered around Becky/Tom and Tim. The thought ‘He’s still alive’ has quite literally not left my brain since I first watched the digital ticket of Black Friday and Becky said how she ‘killed’ him.

[talknerdytome18]

Instead of Ant Lowe (fucking hate him I hope he's dead) existing in AGGGTM TV show, how about we root for sapphic Lauren with LauCara endgame instead? We don't need Ant Lowe Holly. I know he has some significance in ggbb, but I don't care 🥰

Also, can people stop saying that Zach's gonna be Ant's replacement? Zach Chen is clearly gay and IN LOVE with Connor Reynolds. Why tf would he date Lauren? ZachConnor are literally endgame y'all (please let them be endgame. I need to be right for once and I haven't recovered from almost losing Seblos in HSMTMTS)

Anyways, fuck Ant Lowe I hope he steps on legos. Don't ever accuse Pip and Connor of being liars or manipulate my girl Lauren again 😡

for the ask game. ranking my favorite redpink ships/dynamics

tj and cassie

leo and kendrix

carter and dana

wes and jen

lauren and mia

tyler and shelby

(ik that ask game said send 5, but you know.... can't resist)

1. Shyler - they’re the best couple <3

2. TJ & Cassie - adorable af and they should’ve been canon

3. Leo/Kendrix - a big part of it has to do with chemistry and looking pretty together I’ll admit 😂. But they do have a spark and were destined from the start.

4. Lauren & Mia - I love wlw and Lauren actually loves Mia’s cooking so they’d probably have a very happy life together 😂

5. Wes & Jen - I haven’t seen enough of time force, but i love them

6. Carter & Dana - I don’t remember a lot about them 😭. But I think my ranking will change when I watch more haha.

CAN I JUST TALK ABOUT HOW BAD I WANTED LMM TO LEGITIMIZE LAMS but i kept being let down over and over again like ughhhh. first he gives the Angelica relationship a whole song and subplot and yes it was great, the whole musical's a lyrical, compositional, choreographed masterpiece BUT WE AREN'T HERE TO DISCUSS THAT. we are here to talk about how his source material was biased because Chernow gave breath to the Angelica thing, as improbable as it was (especially compared to the probability of the Laurens/Hamilton relationship? homophobia.) but then picture it, I'm a young, naïve teenager, I'm very fixated on lams and history, I loved the Hamilton musical, was a Hamilton teen and that part of me is irreparably burned into my brain. then LMM drops this sneaky little tidbit like the beacon of wisdom his fans see him as bc he wrote a historical self-insert fanfic for broadway, he says the Laurens/Hamilton relationship was real. great! but he didn't actually put it in the musical and that disappointed me. And damn, okay, he had a few lines here and there in the off-broadway version that were cut but maybe that wasn't his fault or maybe he planned on fleshing it out more and had to cut it down to make it more palatable for the people sponsoring his ride to broadway, a pathetic excuse but it could make sense. For all that, I could have forgiven, forgotten, etc etc... but I will NEVER forget naïvely believing during the year the Hamildrops were released that we'd finally get a Laurens/Hamilton song. In April it didn't happen, I thought okay, maybe pride month. Didn't happen in pride month. Didn't even happen in September or October, or as a last-minute gay reveal in December. It just didn't happen at all. We even got some covers of songs that already existed without notable variations on the lyrics and it's like... bro couldn't have done the bare minimum and had a Laurens cover of Satisfied? That's the moment I was let down for real. I had truly BELIEVED that because he said himself that the Laurens/Hamilton relationship was real, he'd actually follow through on something that could be digested by the fans more than a forgotten tweet. but damn it hurt. absolutely no queer representation in a musical about Alexander Hamilton. bro. to play devil's advocate, there is no way to "prove" hamilton wasn't straight (eye-roll) but it's not like Hamilton: An American Musical is historically accurate in the least. It's embellished, fun, glamorous. It paints people in their best (unless you're charles lee lol) considering it's about a bunch of people who definitely were not kickass abolitionist BIPOC, but because LMM found it important to represent America today, he made the cast very inclusive to cultures and ethnicities of those these historical figures oppressed. so why can't he fictionalize the story a bit more? it's not even FICTION BRO it's literally more provable (and less problematic and more interesting) than the Angelica/Hamilton affair so WHYYYY. all i mean to say is, i was very let down and i can't appreciate the musical or LMM the same as I did when i was younger because now it gives me the straight-man ick. the "yeah they were gay!" for ++ points with the lgbtq+ fans but a severe lack of action. i hate that shit. real allies would say "fuck your homophobia, i'm publishing my art as it is even if i face backlash and censorship," because that's how shit gets done. it really really let me down, that's all, good night.

wait please share what you think future cc would look like

OK so i've been ruminating on this a lot bc i've been writing future fic and also looking at pictures of lauren as she's got older and like....as g-d damn fine as lauren is now, that's not what cc looks like in my head.

i think she's let herself age differently in la to the way she would have in new york bc while she's working on higher profile things, she's actually more anonymous bc she's removed herself from that high society expectation.

i always loved her with longer hair, so i think she keeps it a bit longer. i've never cared much for canon, so while i know she technically bleaches her hair, i refuse to believe it, and i think there are streaks of silver coming through as she gets older. less makeup, for sure - i think there's a real contrast in how fran finds aging in la to how cc finds it and i think it helps cc be a lot softer on herself. older fran fine is just....fran drescher to me - she's still very vain (affectionate) and (in the fic) this is compounded by max being an asshole. older cc doesn't need the armour of her looks as much anymore - she wields real power now and her face doesn't matter so much. her eyesight is definitely getting worse, so she definitely wears glasses more (this is just bc cc is hot in glasses) and feels less self conscious about that. which is not to say she doesn't feel it at all - she's still a woman of a certain age, in los angeles, and there are still pressures. i feel like she definitely works out to keep herself a certain size/shape and like, obvs, she's still tall as hell. but (this whole thing is so informed by my fic, i'm sorry) she knows fran likes the way she looks and she doesn't necessarily care as much about what other people think now she's made herself a new life.

i don't think her work wardrobe changes much - lots of suits, maybe a bit more colour (less bc of the area, more just bc the fashions change). mom outfits confound her for sure - what do you mean she needs clothes that let her get in the sandpit or save ellie when she's climbed too high on the jungle gym? eventually, she settles into very well tailored jeans and button up shirts and loafers on the weekends - think old money east coast chic - because it's easier to run after a toddler (fran is relatively feral about this, for obvious reasons). she never gets to a point where she's truly relaxed about her clothes bc they've always been a shield for her, but she does find a good balance.

the long and short of it is that i think an older cc in la is far more relaxed than she was in new york and that shows in the way she looks. there's still a raw power there, but she's almost cultivating that from not giving as much of a fuck about what people think, and she's still tall and imposing and absolutely fucking gorgeous, but there's also a softness to her that we didn't see in the show, because she's slowly letting her walls down as (a) she grows into being a parent and (b) falls deeper and deeper in love with a woman who loves her back (there's something important about it being a woman). i recognise that this is more headcanoning again - i wish i could draw and also, i cannot think of famous women who (in my head) look like my older cc but i hope this gives at least a vibe.

[psychic-refugee]

Dr. Campell and Trask Industries were always on the hunt for mutants with powerful abilities. Their number one priority was the Strucker Siblings. He was convinced they were the key to the next step in his research, and would turn the tide of the war between mutants and humans. Their second priority was Gemma, the girl who could go anywhere with just a thought. The Mutant Underground saves her after Sentinel Services ramps up their hunt for mutants, with orders to capture at any cost, setting Gemma and Andy on route to their destiny.
