valthyra’s tadpole fantasy is philippa (pippa), an old childhood friend of hers, one that she always had a fairly intense “friendship” with until it turned romantic in their teens.
both of them clever, ambitious, and seeing their lives as unfairly limited, they encouraged and supported each other in their attempts to advance. philippa’s physical beauty is matched by her singing voice, and she learned how to play every instrument she could get her hands on. she wanted to be either a famous bard, or marry into nobility. val, desperately in love with pip, tried to help her with the former, eventually acting as her kind of manager: persuading tavern owners to let her play, drumming up attendance, negotiating payment, maneouvering weird fans, etc etc.
but in the end, she helped her with the latter. a young noble saw pippa singing one night, and fell in love. they married within the year.
pippa insists she doesn’t love the dude, but val knows otherwise. pippa only visits when she’s mad at him, only stays the night when she’s lonely, and only tells val she still loves her when asked, or in need of something.
about 6 months before she was taken by the mind flayers, val told pippa she didn’t want to see her again and pip just laughed and said ‘vally, baby, we both know that won’t last. what else do you have, other than me?’
valthyra would like to think that, by taking pippa’s form, the tadpole doesn’t really know her, and just made it easier to resist.
but she also worries that they do know her, and know she eventually won’t.

Valerius x Thicc! Reader || Milk Me Daddy
(Originally posted on my Wattpad)
Requested by: @geekyarmorel sorry if this sucked haha ^^’ forgive me later
Includes: Teasing, oral sex (penis and mouth), fingering, exhibition kink maybe, rough oral, cumminilings (I might have spelled that wrong..), creaming, choking, and that’s it I think.
-
There are three things you need to know before you read this. One, she was fucked. Definitely so, all that teasing and flirting has finally caught up to her. Two, she knew she should have stopped but oh the way her loins burned for this man, how wet he made her just by looking at her. Three, Valerius could be a patient man but this had been the last straw. There was definitely no way she was getting away now.
Her face pressed against the smooth walls as he found his spot right behind her. His smaller hips pressed against her own larger ones. His hand gripping both of hers holding it behind her back as she squirmed against him. The ends of her dress shaking against the newly polished floors as the courtiers pressed harder against her.
"Stop moving, I'm not letting go."
He growled lowly into her ear and with a shudder she bit her lip. Finally she had broke him. All the teasing, touches, and words had finally made him snap.
His free hand trailed down her wide hips before he shuffled his hand under her silks pressing his dominant hand to her slick watch her toss her head back with a gasp.
"V-Val~..."
She whimpered as he pressed an open mouth kiss to her now exposed throat feeling as she swallowed. His eyes narrowed and dark rolling his middle finger in circles against her hard clit until she bucked back into him, their hips grinding together and he couldn't help the growl that left his chest.
"Shush it up. I told you not to do it."
-
"Y/n, dear.. don't think of what I'm pretty sure you're already thinking about.."
The male grumbled as his smooth soft lips found the rim of his wine glass once more, taking a long sip before pulling his lips away licking his lips.
She watched him, her eyes scanned to the side as she laid by him. A book in her hands and she couldn't help but bite her lip. Teasing him at the party would be hilarious, whenever she did such a thing in public he'd always end up flustered and so cute. How could she not tease him?
Calmly she looked away reading the lines in her book once more. The party didn't start until a couple hours so she had time to think of a plan.
"Love, I have no idea what you're talking about."
She hummed and bright eyes looked at her and she shuddered at how intense they felt on her body.
Valerius cupped her naked thigh making her wiggle a little and he squeezed it tightly towering over her. Their eyes clashed and he frowned.
"You do. I'm serious. Don't. Do. It."
Oh, she was definitely going to do it.
-
Well she had done it definitely, first was them getting there. The sun had been falling getting replaced by its counterpart, the moon as the sat in the carriage. Horse hooves beating the ground as they sat next to each other. The chauffeur calling out to them how it'd only be a little while till they got there.
Valerius held his glass of wine as he always did in one hand, his head resting in the other as he looked out the window to watch the sky darken.
To be honest he hated these parties, taking the time to introduce himself as the consul when he could be at home resting in his bed alongside his lover. He could be kissing her softly and petting her wide hips carefully showing how much he loved her and her squishy body. He sighed lightly before raising the glass to his lips once more closing his lips on the rim and taking a slip.
Suddenly he jerked letting out a choked sound as he pulled the glass away, covering his mouth at the coughing fit that built in his chest. His eyes sharp looking to the girl who perked, her hand test awfully close to his crotch rubbing slowly at his inner thigh. Lucio gave him a confused look which he forced a calm look gripping the girl's hand with his free one before giving her a look.
He didn't need words to tell her to stop. To behave herself while at this party, his look was enough. She stopped of course to tilt her head away, hiding a rather prominent smirk.
The second being while he was speaking to the courtiers, she stood in front of him as he caressed her (h/l) (h/c) hair. They most likely weren't paying attention but they sure acted like it. He stopped from a second when she pushed her hips back against his smaller but firm ones. A startled gasp leaving his lips. They noticed it, Vulgora lifting a neat brow while Valdemar smirked lightly. Volta peering up confused while Vlastomil blushed lightly.
The third time had been while he was chatting with the countess at the drink table refilling his glass for perhaps the 20th time in the last hour. Y/n had approached him a smile on her lips after talking to that ever so worrying doctor who he definitely NEVER got jealous over. She wrapped her arms around him pressing against his back making a warmth blossom.
For a second he smiled, happy she was showing him attention only for a deep blush to cover his features as her hands slipped under his clothes and into his trousers gripping his soft cock. It took nothing but a few strokes to get him fuzzy as he bit his lip lowering his head a heavy blush on his cheeks, hand crushing the glass forming a crack.
Nadia didn't even have the chance to ask if he was fine before Valerius set down the glass with a light slam. He then turned grabbing his lover's wrist gripping it when she jumped.
"Sorry Countess, Nadia. I must leave for a moment with Y/n here. Please excuse us."
He stared down at you. Gaze looming and sharp and she couldn't help the shudder than ran over her whole body, legs rubbing together for a second. Valerius watched the movement closely before whisking her away through the crowd.
-
She started to cry when her third orgasm crashed over her, shaking her body to the core as her cream surrounded his fingers dripping onto the polished floors. She trembled in his lap, tight ropes digging into the flesh of her wrist as her toes curled and thighs twitched over his own. She could hear his low pants and feel his bulge pressing firmly against his pants but he just wouldn't give in.
Her voice was fucked up, broken and breathless as she called out to him.
"V-Valer- AH! Val!~"
She cried out tossing her head back as he harshly curled his fingers smearing her creams as he rubbed the roof of her messy pussy. He watched her humming against her neck as he used his thighs to keep her open. They had found a bedroom, Valerius had shove her inside the second they had gotten away from the crowd. They faced the door way as he sat on the bed milking her pussy like the cute little fuck she was. To be honest he wanted them to get caught, to show how lewd his lovable fluffy wife was when she begged for his cock. Hell, he even shuddered at the thought.
He gave a dark smirk before reaching up her body, soft but strong hands rolling over her soft stomach past her delicious hard nipples to her smooth throat that he planned on marking up soon enough. His digits wrapped around her squeezing her as she let out a choked moan just the way he thought she would. His eyes seemed to glow in the moon lit room like the beast that he secretly was. The beast she didn't know he was.
His fingers slipping from her trembling open pussy, he creams following slipping onto the floor as she went limp against her whimpering as tears soaked her eyes.
Her legs jumping as he slapped her clit then her tired sloppy hole before he twisted her clit watching how her body move on it's own trying to get away but captured by the painful pleasure.
"V-Val ack!~"
She choked as his hand tightened, he peered over her shoulder looking at her tear stained cheeks and blood red cheeks.
"Are you sorry? Do you apologize for what you'd done? Do you want me to forgive you?"
He spoke slowly, voice low as he kissed her earlobe fingers lightly touching over her clit as he looked at her. She nodded shakily choking out a yes and slowly the hand around her neck dropped and she coughed taking in air. He pushed her down on the floor as she turned to face him thighs still shaking as he looked down at her with a demonic gaze. The bulge in his slacks ready to burst out and make a presentation of sorts.
She felt..dread. Now she knew how serious he had been and upon realizing it she pulled out his cock blushing at the hiss he gave as cool air ran over the soaked head.
"Go ahead..suck it Darling."
He encouraged and she opened her mouth before sinking down his head, her eyes teary as she looked up at him watching as he tossed his head back and cursed. One of his hands moving to her hair petting it, running his hand through it as she bobbed her head carefully. That is until his second hand grabbed her head.
"Come on Darling, take all of me yes!"
Valerius called out as he slammed her head down forcing his cock down her throat as she gagged, eyes wide and tears falling, cheeks crimson red and hands grabbing at his thighs.
He had been holding on so long that he couldn't help it. Couldn't help how rough he was being or how he shot his cum down her throat watching as her eyes rolled back and her cheeks puffed up, cum slipping from the corners of her mouth as he held her head shaking thanks to his orgasm, eyes slitted.
"That's it, good girl."
-
Ok guys I know it's short but literally I've been working on this for like the last two weeks in a half. I had to get it out.
I was going to put some penetration in this but I got lazy and I gotta shit so yeah. Not to mention I still have many other requests for different fandoms so I must work on those as well.
Ugh really wish I got paid for this shit but whatever...
Sorry if it jumps all over the place as well. I'm only human.
Hope you guys liked it anyway. I might do a part two idk.

This Is Nacho Normal Revenger Story (Except It Totally Is)
Chapter 8 of Life Changes (Hopefully For The Better)
Summary: When some of my high school friends pass through for the night, Bucky crashes our night out... not that I was complaining.
Warnings: My friends have no filters
Word Count: 1867
Tumblr media
“Moral of the story is: Never trust a man carrying a box of centipedes in Moscow,” Valkyrie said just before taking a big swig of her beer.  
I nodded my head, taking her advice very seriously. “But if I meet a man carrying a box of centipedes here, he’s good?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. You’ll have to let me know.”
“So that’s our lives,” Loki butted in. “How about yours? What’s new?”
I hadn’t had many friends in high school, but these four were my closest friends. The only ones I actually kept in touch with after graduation. Loki and Thor, the polar opposite brothers; Bruce, the token science nerd; and Valkyrie, our borderline alcoholic babe with a thing for guns. Never in my life did I think their drunken idea of starting a band our junior year would amount to anything, but the four of them made it work somehow.
Every time they passed through, we made sure to go out and catch up. Which mainly consisted of me listening to their adventures and misadventures, and me coming up with enough information to tide them over.
“Not much. I’m taking a semester or two off to figure out my shit, but that’s about all that’s new.”
“You can come travel with us, then!” Thor bellowed with excitement. These four were also the only people I could casually tell things to because they wouldn’t overreact like certain people in my life now. They took any changes in stride and I loved them for it.
“Tempting, but I don’t think my bank account would like that.”
“I don’t think that guy over there would like that either,” Loki said, nodding towards the bar. “He’s been glancing over here every few minutes. Looks like he’s waiting for help or something.”
I’d been so engrossed in my conversation that I hadn’t looked away from our booth for the last half hour. But I looked up and caught sight of Bucky, looking very uncomfortable talking to two women. He glanced over and I laughed at the look in his eyes. I could practically read SOS.
“Do you know that guy?”
“Yeah. Gimme a sec. I’m gonna go get him out of that situation.” I stood up and began heading over, but quickly turned back to Thor. “Hey, you got any tickets to your show tomorrow?”
With a flourish, he pulled two tickets from his jacket and handed them to me. I could always count on him carrying some around. He liked to give them away to beautiful people who came to flirt with his beautiful person.
As I walked over, I built up my excitement, preparing for my performance. By the time I made it to the trio, I was bouncing. “Hey, babe! My friend just gave me tickets to see the Revengers tomorrow night.” As if I hadn’t noticed the girls, I stepped right in front of Bucky and held the tickets out with one hand, placing my other on his chest. “I know you’re not their biggest fan, but you have to go with me. It’s my birthday. You can’t say no.”
His hands curled around the small of my back and he pulled me into him with a grin. “And what if I already made plans for your birthday?”
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I went up on my toes to press a kiss to his lips. “I’ll make it up to you if you push those plans. I really want to see them. With you.”
“You’ll make it up to me, huh?”
“I promise—” quick kiss “—you won’t regret—” another kiss “—coming to—” one more kiss “—the concert.”
“Fine, but you owe me.”
“I’ll start making it up to you tonight. Promise. Now, come on, or Loki’ll eat all the nachos before you get a chance to have any.”
Still not even acknowledging the women who had Bucky cornered, I grabbed his hand and pulled him away. When we were a few steps away, he fell into step beside me and wrapped his arm around my waist. “Thanks for that. They weren’t letting me go.”
“I never pegged you for a guy who got cornered in a bar. Sure, people are gonna come flirt with you. But you’re smooth enough to get away.”
He scoffed. “Not with those two.”
“Mmm. Lucky I was around to save you.”
“I’m gonna have to keep you around.”
“Eh. I think I can handle it. You’re pretty easy on the eyes. Now c’mon. I wasn’t kidding about the nachos.”
He slowed his walk. “I don’t wanna intrude on your friends’ night. I know they don’t come through that often and—”
“You’re coming. That’s final. As soon as you sit down, they’ll accept you right away. It’ll be like you were always a part of the group. Really. I want you there.” He still looked torn, so I ran my hands up his chest and carded them through his hair. I was so glad he was growing it out. “’Sides, they picked me up from my apartment earlier, so my car��s still there. This way, they don’t have to drive all the way across town then back to their hotel. I’ll just catch a ride with you and we can get my car in the morning.”
A smile of surrender lit his face and we finally made it back to the booth. I hip-checked Loki further into the corner booth so there was just enough room for me and Bucky. “Guys, this is my friend Bucky. Buck, this is Thor, Loki, Val, and Bruce.”
“Friend?” Loki asked dubiously.
Val rolled her eyes. “Lay off it, man. It’s nice to meet you, Bucky. You have the kind of lips I could make out with for hours.”
“Don’t even think about it, Val,” I mumbled flatly, completely used to her. It wasn’t even her flirting. She was merely stating a fact. Individually, no one in this group had a filter. They said whatever came to mind. But put them all together? It somehow became even worse. Boundaries? What are those?
“Cool arm, where’d you get it?” Thor asked.
Once again… no boundaries. Bucky shifted slightly and I looked up to see a flash of uncomfortableness flicker in his eyes before he covered it up, but it was enough to put me on the defensive. I may be used to them, but he wasn’t.
“Uh, Sokovia.”
And a slight hush fell over the table. A rare moment of serious sobriety. One that needed to end. “Well,” I started, “Technically you didn’t get the arm until you got back from Sokovia. So, technically, you got it in America.”
“Take your goddamn epi-pen and technicalities and get outta here,” he mumbled, a grin pushing away any anxiety Thor’s question caused.
“Oh my god. You watched John Mulaney. Fucking finally!”
“Steve and I never knew what you and Nat were talking about, so we figured why not?” He turned to address the rest of the group. “Whenever she and Nat are together, it’s like fucking coded conversation.”
“Not coded for anyone who’s seen his shit. We’ve been telling you guys to watch it for weeks.”
The conversation quickly devolved into a rash of John Mulaney jokes and off-the-wall references from Valkyrie. At some point, Loki complained that he was squished, so I ended up in Bucky’s lap to make more space for the lovable asshole. Considering how exactly a week ago, Bucky and I had only taken our… relationship? Arrangement? Whatever we had… public enough to do body shots at a party, the fact that I was sitting on his lap in a crowded bar with his hand slowly inching towards my inner thigh was pretty astonishing.
And that PDA shtick I’d done to get him away from the leech girls was completely out of character for me too.
Nat was right. I was changing more than even I’d realized. But I kinda liked it. This new Y/N was someone that her mother would hate, and someone that her father would have been proud of.
But, more than that, this Y/N was someone that liked herself. Someone who could sit at a table full of friends, joking, laughing, drinking, throwing chips at Thor, and not be worried that word would get back to the wrong person and darken her future.
This new Y/N held all the cards to her life.
And you can bet your ass I was going to play the game the way I wanted.
“You sure you don’t want to come with us?” Thor offered again later that night when we were standing outside, by their van.
“We’ve got room next to this silent idiot,” Val said, affectionately shoving Bruce.
“Don’t let him fool you,” I said to Bucky. “Bruce might have been quiet tonight, but he’s really not quiet.”
“Neither are you, doll,” he winked, dodging my half-hearted slap.
“Uh-huh,” Loki mumbled. “Friends.”
“I would come with you guys in a heartbeat. But someone’s gotta stick around to get this heartthrob out of awkward situations with beautiful women. I’m coming to your show tomorrow night, though. Who do I talk to, to get backstage afterwards?”
“I’ll leave your name with Ralph,” Bruce promised.
“Ralph. Got it. Now you guys skedaddle. You’ve got a show to prepare for, and I’ve got some manners to beat into Bucky here.”
“Right,” Loki said, once again deadpanning with a raised eyebrow and he looked between me and Bucky. “Your friend.”
“Lay off it,” Val shoved him closer to the van. “Or I’ll start talking about Rosie.”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“It was the summer before eighth grade and Loki here decided he wanted to try out something new and—” Valkyrie’s dramatic story was cut off by Loki’s hand over her mouth.
A few minutes passed before the four of them managed to pile into their van and drive away. As soon as they were out of sight, I hit Bucky on his right shoulder.
“What was that for?”
“I can so be quiet.”
And he had the nerve to laugh. That bastard. “You’ve never been quiet with me.”
“I’ve never had a reason to. But I know I can be quiet. Just… just need the right incentive.”
“Oh?” He wrapped his arm around my waist, slipping his hand under my shirt as we walked down the street to where he parked his motorcycle. “And what kind of incentive would that be?”
I’m sure there was some reason… something… It would have to be something or somewhere where being caught would—
With my arms wrapped around his, I pulled him off our course and towards a dark alley that seemed to be devoid of any lurkers.
“Y/N, what are you—”
“I bet you I can be quiet when it’s either that, or being caught and brought up on charges of public indecency.” In the darkness, I could only see the glint of a faraway light off his eyes, but it was enough. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stepped up closer until my lips were brushing at his. “Whaddya say, Barnes? Up for a little back-alley action?”

NEXT CHAPTER: Confessionals Between Sheets Are So Much Scarier Than Confessionals In A Church (by P!ATD)

Quick  catch up, including tonight and motel viewing during the trip....
Kong: Skull Island- As the Vietnam war ends an organization ( focused on hunting giant creaturesafter some historical encounters) sets out to a storm shrouded unexplored island with the help of the US military. Bombs get dropped to aide in “mapping” but instead it stirs up trouble. A very familiar pissed off giant ape smashes all the helicopters leaving two groups trying to reach their escape point. One group, containing a mercenary with a heart of gold and an anti-war photo journalist among others, meet up with a fella that’s been stuck on the island since WWII living with mysterious locals. He clues them in that Kong is actually the protector of humans, protecting the world from giant lizard creatures that keep crawling out from beneath the earth. Meanwhile the other group, headed by a military officer with no eagerness for peacetime, are making it their mission to kill Kong. Maybe that’s not such a good idea....
It’s a good old fashioned silly B movie on a blockbuster CGI extravaganza budget, Apocalypse Now with lots of kaiju battles. It’s loads of fun, well if you have any affection for giant monster movies anyway. Or if while watching Platoon you every wanted a giant spider creature to show up.  It’s pretty clearly aiming to kick off a franchise with that kaiju hunting organization, but for once I don’t mind the obviousness of the money grubbing. I enjoyed it’s dumb ol’ self too much! 
Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows- It’s a solid, straightforward documentary about the creator/creative force behind classic horror films released by RKO (Cat People, I Walked With a Zombie, etc). Since I like the films in question I found it interesting.
Nocturnal Animals- Your standard issue dissatisfied immaculate, cynical artist rich gal gets a manuscript from her ex just as her equally coldly “sophisticated” current hubby is having an affair. The manuscript is the story of a man whose wife and daughter are brutally raped and murdered when the family encounters those psychopathic hicks that upper scale urban folks think are just waitin’ to pounce the second you are out of cell phone range. He sets out to see that the evil crazies responsible pay. This story serves as a hook for the hipper than thou city gal to reflect in her former relationship and get a kind of pay back. Loathesome, unsympathetic people in a hermetically austere privileged world crossed with a nasty and bleak story within a story creating an artfully stylishly filmed and well acted peice of snob crap where I want to smack everyone involved with a really big stick!
An Affair to Remember- Another movie where I want to hit everyone! A couple of charming stars play a couple who fall in love when they meet on a trip, but their romances is complicated by both being engaged to others. Surprise, it turns out their soon to be exes are astoundingly understanding. So how get a problem for the love  birds to face? 
Well, for starters they decide to to see or speak to each other for six months to test their affections, and if they meet at the selected time and place it means twu wuv. She gets hit by a car crossing the street and looses the use of her legs, but idiot girl thinks it’s better her beloved think he was rejected by her rather than know of her condition. 
Apparently being unable to walk is a fate worse than death, or some crap. She was a singer, but apparently being unable to walk means you have to give up singing professionally and instead rely on the charity of a preist to get you a job teaching singing to young children who warble all cutsey at the poor audience. Yes, not being able to walk makes you a thing to be pitied, unable to go spend a night on the town after your still pals ex takes you out to the theater, because apparently you have to walk to eat out or something. Oh, and that nice guy ex is rich and doesn’t just keep encouraging you tell your hurt twu wuv, but also offers to pay for magic cure all surgery. But no, you won’t take the help. You will only get the surgery when you save out of your meager salary, and you will only tell your twu wuv once you can walk.
She is an idiot!!
Well acted, well filmed, and I REALLY got disgusted with this bullshit. It isn’t romantic, but insulting to people who do have ambulatory issues and demonstrates a kind of martyr delusion selfishness on the part of the so called heroine!
Ransom!- The son of a rich business man gets kidnapped. Rather than pay the ransom he declares on tv he will offer up that same amount of money for the kidnappers dead or alive if the child is not returned. Fair enough. 
But he also believes forcably sedating his distraught wife, keeping her locked up in her bedroom under constant supervision in a drugged up haze, refusing to tell her anything about what is happening, and not allowing her any say at all in her decisions about her son’s fate is fair too. So to do the people around him, complying with his manly right to do what the hell he likes about the hysterical wife, never mind the fact she might not be so damned hysterical if she were treated with a bit of respect!
We are not supposed to question this, probably no more than in that (also 1950s) remake of The Man Who Knew To Much when the bastard hero husband forcably drugs his wife before telling her about their son’s kidnapping. It’s just background, expected, a demonstration of how women are these naturally hysterical creatures that the paternalistic society needs to “take care of” by taking away their mental faculties through sedation. 
I sooooo do not want to time travel to the ‘50s!
Experiment in Terror- Ok, I did enjoy this one. I’d also seen it before.
A woman that works in a bank is ambushed by a man in her own home. She never sees his face as he threatens not only her life but the life of her teenage sister if she doesn’t cooperate with his robbery plan. Despite her valid fear she contacts the authorities. While the the FBI attempt to hunt the baddie down, he continues to haunt her. When he abducts the sister it looks like the heroins will be forced to actually do what he wants, despite being smart enough to realize he will probably kill them both anyway....
It really is an excellent thriller. The heroine’s fear never keeps her from being smart, the FBI agent is determined but knows he might fail to protect her, no romance is shoehorned in, and the villian is truly unnerving.  Now they gave the baddie asthma as creepy way to signal his presence, but since my father was asthmatic that wouldn’t be enough to find him disturbing. (Though there was that one time when I was 6 and Pop was coming down the stairs in the dark that for a few moments freaked me out Darth Vader was there...) No, he’s creepy because of the sick pleasure he takes in tormenting his target. This isn’t just about the money for him: he’s having fun. And golly, it’s Ross Martin who played the lovable Artie in one of my fave shows, The Wild Wild West, as the sicko! It’s a one of those movies that if you come across it late night you always remember it, but if you rewatch it years later you aren’t disappointed.

10 Things You Never Knew About Dirty Dancing
What could possibly be better to snuggle up with on a cloudy day than your favorite romantic drama of all time,Dirty Dancing?
Dirty Dancingwas a pretty low-budget film that didn’t really have any huge namesin starring roles. Yet, it swiftly became one of the best-remembered movies in recent history. Some of the scenes are absolutely unforgettable!
Released in 1987, this movie was the first to sell over 1 million copies on home video. Perhapsit wasfortuitoustiming alongside home video technology that gavethis film its lasting success. But I personally think it may have had much more to with the fact that it’s simply such a lovable film!
Patrick Swayzeand Jennifer Grey made such a lasting impression on so many of us with their portrayals of Baby and Johnny take this bride and groom, for example!
IsDirty Dancingone of your favorite movies? I bet that even if it is, you didn’t know each and every one of these 10 Dirty Dancingfacts.
Let us know if we missed anything in the comments and please SHARE with your family and friends on Facebook!

1. The Crawling Scene Wasn’t Part Of The Plan
YouTube / Movieclips
Patrick Swayze andJennifer Grey were just fooling around when they were crawling around on the floor, getting ready to shoot the scene. However, director Emile Ardolino liked it so much that he used the footage for the film. Good choice, if you ask everyone who has ever seen it.
2. Patrick Was Offered A Big Hunk Of Cash For The Sequel
Wikimedia Commons / Movieclips
However, even $6 million wasn’t enough to persuade him todo any kind of sequel, since he hated the general idea of them so very much.
3. The Trees Were Spray Painted
YouTube / Movieclips
The scene where Baby and Johnny are dancing in the water was shot in the middle of October, so it was freezing and the leaves were fall-colored and falling from the trees.
They spray painted the trees, but you can still see the leaves falling to the ground, which simply doesn’t happen in the summertime.
4. Patrick Really Was Annoyed When Jennifer Laughed
YouTube / Movieclips
You never know what you’re going to get when you keep the cameras rolling on two good actors. In the scene where Baby and Johnny are rehearsing and he runs his hand down her arm, Jennifer couldn’t keep from laughing because she was ticklish. The frustration you see on Johnny’s face is Patrick’s real frustration with the scene.
In the end, it was left in and is recognized as one of the most honest moments in the film.
5. Val Kilmer Almost Played Johnny
Wikimedia Commons / John Griffiths
Val was offered the part, but he turned it down, leaving the opportunity open for Patrick. Billy Zane was also considered, but he wasn’t a fantastic dancer.
6. Both Leads Were 10 Years Older Than Their Characters
Wikimedia Commons / Alan Light
Jennifer was 26 when she was cast as the 16-year-old, and had just a few minutes to convince casting directors that she could play younger. Patrick was 34 when he was cast to play the 24-year-old Johnny, as well.
7. Patrick Did His Own Stunts
YouTube / Movieclips
Patrick was insistent that he do all of his own stunts. During the log scene, he kept falling and ended up injuring hisknee so badly that he had to have fluid drained.
8. They Thought Cynthia Rhodes Was Too Pretty
YouTube / Movieclips
Makeup artists had to put makeup on Cynthia when Penny had to look like she was not well and in excruciating pain, because it just wasn’t convincing enough when she went with none at all. She was just too pretty!
