Tumblr media
ā€œim at the right place, arenā€™t i..?ā€ you mumbled to yourself, frigid, clammy hands swiping your phone to make sure the location was right. the restaurant looked a bit trendy and sophisticated, somewhere you wouldn't dare step inside on your own. you and vox both agreed on a restaurant to meet at around eight o'clock. to be truly honest with yourself, you never thought youā€™d have the guts to do something like this ā€” but when vox, the streamer who youā€™ve been watching for months daily and donating to everyday reached out to you personally, how could you say no?
nonetheless, sitting across from him at the table really made you wish you had refused.
for one, he was much too ethereal to be in your lowly presence. the camera didnā€™t do him justice at all ā€” his pale skin was a nice contrast to his black hair, adorned by his signature red highlights. he even wore the red eye makeup that you loved to look at, except now, you could see his mouth and bottom half of his face, uncovered by the black mask he would usually wear. his lips looked so soft, and when his tongue darted out to lick them you were nearly going to faint. weā€™re those.. fangs? his canines were sharp, and you felt like a pervert for staring so intensely.
you quickly paid your respects to the other fans who would never know that vox, a niche but popular adult streamer, was a truly beautiful man in person.
you didn't even notice how silent it had gotten between the two of you. ā€œno need to be so quiet. i donā€™t bite, i promise.ā€ voxā€™s sweet voice snapped you out of your thoughts, apologizing profusely for zoning out so much. ā€œyouā€™re right! im sorry, ive just never done anything like this before..ā€ you chuckled awkwardly, shifting in your chair while vox just smiled. he found your skittishness adorable. you reminded him of a scared little bunny ā€” and he was the big bad wolf, ready to eat you up whole.
"what a shame. and here i was thinking you do this quite often, with how you accepted my request and all." the demon smirked at how your face flushed, becoming a stuttering mess. you should've expected it, but he was just as snarky in person as he was on his live shows. as your little meeting continued, vox realized he enjoyed your presence much more than he thought. the night was filled with friendly but interesting conversation, and for once, the demon didnā€™t feel forced to keep speaking.
at first, he debated on meeting with you in person. what if the person who donated nearly thousands to him each month turned out to be not as pleasant as he hoped? while the demon wouldn't be surprised, he would be a tad disappointed with all of the free shoutouts he's given to you. still, with you being his top donator for a while now, he felt compelled to show some form of graciousness. a little present, just in time for the holidays.
vox enjoyed streaming more than he thought he would. even though he could use his voice and other demonic powers for much grander, sinister things - for some reason, using them to tease and drain the wallets of his viewers was surprisingly just as satisfying. doing this, he never had to worry about getting a silly job like most humans did, letting the demon truly relax when he wasnt tampering with cameras and himself.
but, you, however - vox liked how shy and nervous you were. it awakened a sick monster inside of him, that wanted to see you cry and beg for mercy at his fingertips. he thought his days of toying with mortals was over, but unfortunately (or fortunately?) for you, you seemed to rekindle that fire in his heart. if he didn't know any better, he would've never expected you to be someone that watches adult streams online, let alone spend money on them.
taking advantage of how anxious you were, vox continued to ask questions about yourself, forcing you to blurt out answers in hopes of not screwing up. "so, what do you like about my streams, y/n?" the male swiveled the wine in his glass nonchalantly, golden eyes looking into yours, awaiting an answer. you gulped, shakily drinking yours as well.
"um, well, you're the first streamer i've ever really watched for.. that sort of stuff. i initially liked how your voice sounded, and wanted to hear more, but i ended up staying for your little stories and when you'd talk about yourself. you just seemed really nice." it was a bit embarrassing when you had said it aloud, but it was the truth. you enjoyed the moments where the demon would just ramble the most. of course, given the content of his streams, most of the things he'd speak about were so dirty it made your ears feel hot - however, there were moments where he'd just talk about his day, and you seemed to enjoy those the most.
it was vox's turn to blush, his grip tightening on the wine glass ever so slightly. how could a mere mortal make him feel so... flustered? hes had his fair share of affairs over many decades, however, never has he felt so vulnerable. the demon was expecting you to talk about his cock or something, but of course your innocent little head wouldnt do that. you should be thankful vox isn't a cannibalistic demon, or he seriously would've eaten your heart out by now.
therefore, the man didnt feel any remorse when you went to the bathroom and he slipped a drug into your drink while you were away.
it wasnt his fault - how was he supposed to let you go after today? someone as sinless and pure as yourself needed to be his. vox wouldnt be content with letting you go back to being another viewer behind the screen, not after your little meeting. the demon knew truly that you probably wouldn't refuse going home with him, but that also didnt guarantee you'd accept his offer. he considered the drug just a bit of a push in the right direction, if you will.
"sorry for taking so long. there was a line outside, so.." your voice trailed off, going back to your seat as the older man simply chuckled. why did you feel the need to explain yourself? it didn't matter how long you took, even if you tried to run now, vox would surely find you. pouring some more wine for himself, he filled his glass a bit more to match yours. you tried to tell him you weren't too keen or interested in alcohol at the beginning of your little date, but the demon wouldn't take no for an answer. "y/n, lets have a toast, shall we?" his held up his glass expectantly towards you, waiting for you to clink the rim with your own.
you hesitated for a moment. the smell of wine never enticed you, but seeing vox wait earnestly made your heart flutter. one glass shouldn't hurt, right?
you simply nodded, the familiar clank of glass against glass being shared between you two before drinking. you drank a majority of the wine, only leaving a small amount left. "good boy. its good, isnt it?" you nearly sputtered the drink back up from the praise, nodding again and drinking the rest in one gulp. it was much different hearing his words of affirmation in person. it felt addicting, unreal.
"thats it. a toast for the new year, my boy. im excited for the memories we shall make together. aren't you?" oh, did vox mean his streams? of course you looked forward to those, how could you not! he was the highlight of your day, making you smile and laugh. "mhm! im excited. im looking forward to your streams, vox." the demon felt a shiver roll down his spine, suppressing a groan. he could get used to you saying his name. he wanted to hear you say it in other ways, too.
"i hope we can get more.. personal, as well, y/n. it was truly delightful being here with you." the man had such a way with words, making you swoon. was he this nice with everyone? no wonder he had so many followers! while you didnt know the true extent to what he had implied, you agreed, telling him that you were happy you came out today.
of course you were. you were his little rabbit, frail and gullible, unknowing of the big bad wolf sitting across from your very table. he truly wondered just how oblivious you could be, but much to his delight, he'd find out soon enough. your eyes started to feel heavy, zoning out while he talked about random things to keep you occupied.
"goodness, y/n, are you alright? you look a bit pale. here, let me take you back to my place. i don't live far at all." his voice was sickeningly sweet, how could you deny his offer? you nodded drowsily, letting the man hold you to steady your balance.
the cold air of the outdoors didnt phase you, and neither did it bother vox. peering at your sleeping face, he smiled, leaning in to kiss the top of your forehead.
"happy new years, y/n. lets have fun together." vox whispered in your ear, turning the corner towards his apartment.

PRISCILLA (2023)
~ my thoughts as an elvis fan
Tumblr media
(credit to @urpinkstargirl for the photo)
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD:
so I saw it last night and Iā€™ve been stewing on it ever since as I wanted to be 100% sure in myself before saying this publicly
**brace yourselves**
After just one viewingā€¦ I feel confident in saying that I preferred this film over ā€œElvisā€ 2022 šŸ¤§. It was just so immersive and so deeply intimate that I walked away from the theater feeling like I had just lived a life with Elvis, and experienced all the ugly and wonderful things that came with it
I am seeing it again tonight and possibly tomorrow just to recapture that feeling (which made me cryā€¦ three timesā€¦)
And although Iā€™m not the biggest fan of Sofia Coppola, there is simply no denying that she has perfected showing ā€œgirlhoodā€ in film, and making the most unique experiences, like being Marie Antoinette and being Priscilla Presley, somehow universal to everybody. I havenā€™t felt being ā€œ14ā€ since I was 14, which was a whole 5 years ago, but WHEWā€¦ I most definitely felt 14 again when watching Priscilla navigate life in Germany
Also- we all saw how Austin Butler was completely cheated out of an Oscar and so Iā€™m begging that we do not do that again. Give the Oscar to Cailee Spaeny (who played Priscilla) right now šŸ˜¤ There are no words besides ā€œimmaculateā€ to describe her performance. Her future is so bright as an actress, I just cannot wait to follow her career + she just seems like the sweetest person ever??
And I know it might seem insane to say that I preferred ā€œPriscillaā€ over ā€œElvisā€ and some of yā€™all might crucify me for that take but my preference solely comes down to the fact that I appreciate Priscillaā€™s perspective much more so than the Colonelā€™s, who to me, has always been the least interesting aspect of Elvisā€™ story
My biggest gripe with having the Colonel narrative/tell Elvisā€™ life in the 2022 film is the fact that it made the film feel rather impersonal to Elvis as I donā€™t think the script or the storytelling ever fully allowed for Austin Butler to explore what he was like beyond the stage
And personally speaking, I have a much deeper love for Elvis the person as opposed to Elvis the performer, and I think that ā€œPriscillaā€ showed the human side of him far more than ā€œElvisā€ ever did (like yā€™all we actually get to hear and see him reading his philosophy books in this!!!)
But before I get into what was actually depicted in film, and all my praises, I thought I would briefly state what I thought could have been done better. Donā€™t get me wrong, this movie was beyond amazing, however, it was definitely not without itsā€™ faults:
1. If you have seen a lot of reviewers talk negatively about the pacing in this film- just know that they are unfortunately, completely right in that assessment. The whole timeline of Germany felt literally five minutes long, and the 70s also, felt maybe 10 minutes long which just made both the beginning and end feel rather rushed. Also there were at least 5 scenes that just faded to black before going onto the next one, and some very abrupt cuts in scenes which felt a bit awkward
2. Because this is a biopic, and because itā€™s based on a real life, there is no climax like you would be accustomed to normally in a film and so I think that the average viewer, like someone who may not really care about Priscilla or Elvis, will probably walk away from the film feeling unsatisfied- possibly bored. I saw it with my mom and my sister, and my mom was asleep in like 45 minutes šŸ˜­. The movie definitely got repetitive at some points but I acknowledge the fact that life is repetitive, especially for Priscilla in the 60s while Elvis was off making movies
3. While Priscilla (played by Cailee Spaeny) aged realistically and seamlessly, Elvis (played by Jacob Elordi) was essentially the same person (physically) for 95% percent of the film. For some reason, his hair was already dyed black in the Germany scenes, although we know it was brown at that time, and so there was no real transformation for him until Lisa Marie is born. The height of the actor was definitely jarring at first but eventually I got used to itā€¦howeverā€¦I damn near busted out laughing when they showed him in the Comeback special outfit šŸ’€ His performance was nothing but incredible (ESPECIALLY THE VOICE) and so I learned to get over the physical disparities rather quickly
4. The ending of this film, particularly the song, was overwhelmingly sad and impactful but I was really disappointed that we didnā€™t get to see Priscillaā€™s and Elvisā€™ relationship after the divorce. This film ends with Priscilla leaving Graceland, starting her ā€œnew lifeā€, which didnā€™t make much sense to me considering this movie was adapted from her book, which very much explores that part of her life, especially with Elvis
I would have really love to seen moments like this from Priscillaā€™s perspective ā¬‡ļø
Tumblr media
excerpt from ā€œPriscilla, Elvis and meā€ (avoid this book)
5. NO CIRCLE G RANCH!!! It is borderline criminal to make a film about Priscilla and Elvis and to not include their time spent at Circle G ranch ** which Priscilla has always said were their happiest times together **. I assume that this was likely an issue because of the budget and the fact that they only had 30 days to film but godā€¦ I would have really appreciated some of the domestic bliss that Priscilla and Elvis shared while living in the trailer on the ranch. There were many happy moments/sequences (yā€™all are going to die when you see the rollerblading/go cart scenes) in this movie, but I think their gradual separation/withdrawal from one another (post marriage) would have hit harder if we saw how happy they were together during their ranch phase
6. For those who have read ā€œElvis and Meā€, we all know about the famed LSD scene that takes place and unfortunately, Coppola heavily missed the mark on it. We donā€™t see Lamar Fike making out with a tree, we donā€™t see Jerry Schilling in a closet- instead we see Priscilla and Elvis just kind of rolling around, laughing amongst themselves while the room around them turns different colors
There were definitely many key moments/stories like that missing from the film, and I honestly wish that the movie was an hour longer so that we could have seen the book more fully fleshed out
Lastly, hereā€™s just a general synopsis of the scenes in Germanyā€¦ I was going to do the whole movie but I donā€™t have the stamina to type it all out šŸ˜­. If yā€™all want to know something specific please feel free to comment below and I will let you know <3!!
After the beginning credits are shown, the film starts with Currie Grant (who was renamed as Terry West) approaching Priscilla in a diner, inviting her to a party at Elvisā€™ house. After talking with her parents and assuring them that Priscilla will be looked after by him and his wife, it cuts to her in the back of a car, on her way to meet Elvis. The scene is exactly like how it is in the book, Elvis asks her how old she is, he remarks that she is ā€œjust a babyā€ and so on- Elvis then plays ā€œa Whole lotta shakinā€ at the piano and that is one of three musical performances we see from him
Priscilla is then re-invited by Currie aka Terry via Elvis to comeback to the house again. Elvis invites Priscilla up to his room, she looks around and sees letters from Anita Wood, and a poster of Bridgette Bardot just like in the book. After Elvis talks about Gladys and how he is still reeling over her death, and how lonely he has felt since then, they share their first kiss to the song ā€œCrimson and Cloversā€
There are some scenes of Priscilla at school and some scenes of her sort of convincing her parents to let her continue to see Elvis. And they do agree, but just like in the book, they want to meet him first. Elvis is questioned by Priscillaā€™s father on why he wants to be with her to which Elvis replies that she is very mature for her age and that he likes talking to her since she is from home aka the United States. He then assures Priscillaā€™s father that she will be taken care of. After that we see them going to the movies where Elvis expresses how much he wants to be a serious actor, and then they share another kiss on the car ride home. It then cuts to Christmas time where we see Elvis giving Priscilla a watch and then BOOM- Elvis and her are on the way to the airport where they say their final goodbyes as he leaves for the United States
The film really does follow closely to the book (at least from 59ā€™ when they meet to 69ā€™- again the 70s were really rushed) and so I really recommended to read that prior to watching the movie
As for the more sensitive scenes-
There is no explicit sex, no graphic nudity, and no scene where Elvis forces himself upon Priscilla. He does say ā€œthis is how a real man makes love to his womanā€ but all he does is kiss her before she pushes him off. There is a rather long ā€œpolaroid-takingā€ sequence where it shows all the outfits that Elvis would Priscilla dress up in but other than that, we only see Elvis and Priscilla make out
And it did show when Elvis accidentally hit Priscilla in the eye during the pillow fight scene in her book, along with the scene of him throwing a chair in her general direction after she expressed she didnā€™t like a demo of one his songs, and the scene where he grabs all her clothes from the closet and tells her that she should go visit her parents. I donā€™t think that the scenes made Elvis look abusive: Coppola was surprisingly nuanced in showing that he had reasons for his sometimes bad temperament i.e the pills he took along with the fact that he was frustrated with his film career
It also shows Elvisā€™ infidelities but really only through movie magazines that Priscilla sees. So itā€™s never explicitly shown, I would say itā€™s more hinted at than anything
And there are two scenes of Priscilla with Mike Stone but again, nothing that is explicitly shown, itā€™s just hinted at
Finally, to finish this up, this is what I wrote on my Instagram account which I very much stand by ā¬‡ļø
Tumblr media
Just please give this movie a chance yā€™all, it was so beautiful and so sensitively doneā€¦ I cannot wait to watch it again <3

My personal thing, if you donā€™t mind me sharing <3, about Kƶnig, while I know he has the potential to literally kill you without a second thought, I feel like he has a soft spot of children. Parents not so much, but he always spares the children. Now, for the bad behaved children I feel like he would give a scary talking to šŸ‘€
Because Kƶnig feels very strongly about bullying, so if he heard a kid was bullying the other kid? Would come to their immediate rescue and shut the bully down harshly. For him, thatā€™s a mercy, but he promises that if he ever hears word or sees them acting like that again he wonā€™t be as ā€œmercifulā€. But to the Victims he would console them, but also give them his harsh reality of ā€œyou have to be stronger than your enemiesā€ and as much as he wants them to keep their innocence, he doesnā€™t want them to be weak either. Or worse killed.
But thatā€™s just my little HC šŸ˜Œ
Anon rhis is such a good headcannon???? šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ lemme just..,šŸ¤šŸ¤Œ
No i don't mind qt all!!! šŸ˜Š If anuthing, im so glad you shqred this with me šŸ„°šŸ’– bc I felt IMMEDIATELY inspired by this headcannon !!šŸ˜½āœØšŸ’–...
... so jere are MY headcannons for YOUR headcannon šŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆā›…šŸŒ»šŸ’žšŸ’•šŸ’“āœØšŸŒ¼ Took me a short while to formulate my answer, so srry for the delayed reply šŸ˜æ I saw this as soon as you sent me this an i dont want u to tjink i ignored you at all:(</33

...
Kƶnig, having been bullied all of his childhood, is FIRMLY against bullying.
To see a little girl/boy being labelled an outcast is oh too familiar to him, and hits far too close to home than it should. Brings back the insecurities, the feeling of being utterly humilated, a permanent reminder of his not fitting in. Literally.
Primary school: bullied for being a beanstalk, for head hitting the door frame, for being abnormally large, a "mutant"; balls hurtled at him in dodgeball, all competing in finding out who can knock out the "freak"; knees kicked from behind and legs buckling from the attack, a stampede of legs stamping on him as he cowered on the floor, helpless, and no one caring to help, teachers observing idly nearby.
Secondary school: nose broken to "fix" his crooked features, his "ugly" face; cast aside in class photos for "ruining the picture"; people of his own age turning their heads in the other way in disgust, avoiding him like the plague.
As if his "ugliness" was contagious, and if anyone was to touch him they'd catch the disease.
Power surpassing his tormentors, yet too powerless to fight back, he endured, yet didn't overcome.
Lasting trauma changed Kƶnig's own perception of self completely.
It took a long time becoming the cocky and confident commander he presents himself as. To stand up to his full height and embrace himself for who he was and is, to be self-assured, domineering, and boisterous with others irrespective of their rank. The Colonel; a hardened soldier; a strict man of discipline exerting his authority over all, not at all sympathetic towards anyone.
Deep down, he is still that young boy, vulnerable in the center of a circle of so many pointing fingers and sneering faces. All became a collective body of ridiculing smiles, of sing-song laughter, so many that he lost count.
So, personally vowing to NEVER let his future children (or any children) go through the same turmoil, he would intervene whenever he had the chance to.
For instance, perhaps Kƶnig was speed-walking home one day, dufflebag slung over his shoulder as he rushed to get back to you as soon as possible after being deployed these past weeks, and maybe he was passing by a playground.
Initially focused on the goal at hand, he couldn't help but turn his head, a small smile under his mask as he felt a wave of nostalgia crash over him. Nostalgic of times before he was forced to integrate with callous society.
Smiling at the oblivious children playing together, kicking their chubby little legs on the swings, sliding down a slide and falling, squealing. All giggling with glee, so innocent.
All except one. His eyes would land on a small girl, bawling on the ground, no older than five years old.
Surrounded by three others, all pointing fingers and laughing, the ringleader making fun of the poor thing as his henchmen stomped the remainder of her sandcastle, kicking sand at her. Hands on hip, chest puffed out triumphantly.
Rubbing her puffy eyes, thick pouting lips drooping in an open-mouthed frown, chin quivering as she struggled to contain her broken sobs, she kneeled on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest.
Usually, in these types of situations, people tend to behave in two very different ways when they see something that happened to them happening before their eyes:
"Why should I help them? I went through the same thing, so it's not my problem" or "I should help! They shouldn't have to go through the same thing".
You can probably already guess under which category Kƶnig falls into.
He was NOT about to actively play a passive role in ignoring the poor blubbering child, to be downright apathetic like the other adults were in their radius. No way.
Still carrying his dufflebag, imagine the horror of the little shitlings*: seeing an imposing giant 2ft+ taller than them, huge body trudging towards their little troupe; cold, icy-blue eyes half-lidded staring into their bulging ones. Glaring.
Little band of clowns would probably actually shitting themselves fr šŸ’€
Not only does Kƶnig give the brats a stern talking to (all the while they are nodding their heads with jaws on the floor, knees trembling and nearly caving in on themselves), he later makes it his due diligence to track down the parent(s) and scold them too.
"Was wird deinem Gƶren zu Hause beigebracht? What do you teach your brat? This behaviour is unacceptable. You have set a terrible example, Du verdammter Idiot. How dare you allow this? Bulling is wrong. ScheiƟe, are you listening to me? Because you should, Dummkopf. You should be ashamed. I am sure ashamed of you. I swear to Gottā€”"
Cue 1 hours later, he personally grounds them (the child and parents)... šŸ¤
...And the child goes with it? Even the adults? šŸ˜­
I mean, to be honest, I would too, if a 6'10, body-so-broad-that-it-blocked-all-sunlight-and-did-not-fit-in-the-door-frame Colonel, gesticulating wildly, projecting strongly his German-accented voice, cursing in an aggravated amalgamation of furious English and a spiteful spit of German... Yeah, I'd be pissing my pants not even gonna lie šŸ˜­
I'd imagine that the parents would be immediately saluting, images of stupidity on their faces, completely dumbfounded to have their parenting challenged and to learn that their "precious little angel(s) that can do no wrong" actually can do wrong. (sorry guys i hate toddlers with a RAGING PASSION... rant over fyi no more of me insulting shitheadsšŸ„°)
As for the sweet, weeping girl, he would crouch down to her height, gentle eyes genuine behind his menacing mask. Slowly lifting the fabric, wary of his facial deformities, his scars, he'd do his best to give her a comforting smile, wanting to make her at ease.
She was not put off by his appearance at all. If anything, she maintained eye contact ā€” was curious yes, so with no filter whispered, "You... you have a nice smile, sir. I like your eyes.
"They'reā€”" a loud sniff, wiping her nose with her sleeve "ā€”they're pretty. "
Taken aback, Kƶnig's eyes widened. Then, in soft whisper:
"Meine SĆ¼ĆŸe, I'm so very sorry about thoseā€” those idiots..."
The girl giggled a little, dimples appearing on her tear-stained cheeks.
"And I'm so very sorry, but there will others. Other idiots," he allowed himself to smile, letting out a dry chuckle.
A tentative hand dropping to her round shoulder, squeezing it every so slightly to emphasise his words. "And you have to be strong, MƤdchen. You must be strong. This world isn't a good place for angels like you."
Obviously, he didn't sugarcoat the truth. Situations like this would be unavoidable. He would make that clear.
"I do not condone violence, butā€”" a wink, acknowledging the irony behind his words. "ā€”if you stick your foot out when one of those brats are walking down the corridors, surely nothing will happen, ja?"
Seeing the girl lighten up, smiling brightly, no signs anymore of crying, he ruffled her hair with a toothy grin.
Letting the veil drop down his face, he suddenly fixed his posture and gave an exaggeratedly goofy salute as he turned to head home, satisfied. All the while the girl waved at him energetically, eyes crinkling up in an adolescent's adorable smile.
On another note: I never really gave it much thought before, but... Kƶnig as a father? šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
Your headcannons unlocked a part of my brain that had been locked. šŸ¤­āœØ Needed to upgrade my Kƶnig skill tree before I got to this poin. šŸ¦øšŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Sure has been worth it, though. šŸ¤©
Ever since he was past his teenage years, the thought of a family was something he longed for. Desired.
Maybe it's because he was taught traditional house roles in his European household, or was longing for something that was out of reach, he couldn't tell.
What he was certain about was that it was his biggest wish. His dream.
Deployed in a foreign country, his favourite past-time was fantasizing about his future with a special someone, to have a big family, and to raise his children, giving them everything good he never had, and to shield them from everything bad he had experienced.
Something in being the breadwinner of the house was so masculine to him, and coming home to so many short, out-stretched arms, so excited to be reunited with their papa clinging on to his long legs brought a tear to his eye.
And, once you two officially became a couple, he knew that he wanted to start a family with you at some point. From the moment he met your eyes, intuition assured him that you would be the right one for him.
If you're a [fertile] female, he wants nothing more than to see miniature you and him running around, sweet cherub faces and their chubby cheeks smiling at him, calling him papa, calling you mama.
Seeing your belly swell up with his baby would strangely give him a sense of pride, proud that you would both bring sacred life into the world together, and would practically worship the ground you walk on. He would want to get this right, for everything to be perfect.
He wouldn't allow you to lift a finger despite your protests, catering to your every need, caring for you in any and all ways he could:
Carrying the groceries, 3 carrier bags in each hand, serving you while simultaneously subtly making you swoon, not missing the googly eyes you made at his strength from his peripheral vision;
Doing the bed, making sure to stock up on additional soft pillows and fluffy blankets so you would rest well, removing all stress from your morning routine, and the discomfort of finding a comfortable sleeping position at night;
Insisting you eat balanced meals, preparing nutritious food that had all the nutrients you would need, the sustenance to feed you and develop a healthy baby.
The gore and guts he had witnessed in the battlefield did not compare at all to the sight of blood staining the hospital bed sheet. The look of horror in his eyes as you went into labour, death grip on his hand, knuckles turning white. He'd be hyperventilating, almost feeling the same pain you were going through šŸ˜¢šŸ’”
Not to say that your agony was worth it, but seeing the beautiful blanketed bundle in your arms, you cooing at the little one, made every single horrific moment combined in his life worthwhile.
All the struggles, the hardships, the troubles; all worth it if it meant seeing you with his child.
If you're anything other ([infertile] female, male, non-binary, etc), Kƶnig would get so emotional when adopting a newborn with you.
He'd be teary-eyed, unable to hide the emotions.
To think that he'd be rescuing a child, giving them a second chance and making it feel so wanted, so loved. To give it all the love he was missing, the feeling forgotten through years of bullying, abuse, and violence, and war.
He would waste no time building the nursery. Painting the walls, building the crib, buying plush blankets, stuffed teddy bears, toys that would be in no way a choking hazard.
His helicopter parent preparations aside, his dream would be to grow old with you, and be surrounded by children, grand-children, and even great-grand-children, sharing stories as the lively atmosphere was bubbling with life, with a family.
Piggy back rides would be a MUST!! šŸ˜” Or, better yet, his infants (taking turns ā€” dunno if three kids at once is very practical šŸ˜­) sitting on his shoulders, seeing the world from so high up. Reaching out, and their head in the clouds.
Bouncing them on his knee, like a train conductor going through heavy turbulence, all the while the little ones would be laughing happily, telling him to go faster.
Every single one of his children cuddled up to him; in his lap, over his shoulders, splayed over his legs, clinging to him like a pack of koalas. šŸØ
Reading bed time stories, stroking their head, stood in the door way minutes after his children had fallen asleep. Keeping them safe.
A family of his own. To eventually embarrass endearingly, to squish their cheeks, and tickle their sides, play-wrestle and tease by keeping objects out of reach. His extensive research also included horrible dad jokes, which were made hilarious by their poor translations into English.
Wanting to raise his children the way his mother had raised him while she was still around, to give his children the happy childhood he hadn't had, to make school a positive journey into adulthood. He'd teach them to deal with bullies, to stand up for themselves when he never could...
...And, athough he has good intentions, the truth is that with a father like him no snot-nosed brat would ever dare to mess with the Colonel's children ā˜ ļø

my top albums of 2023.. as iā€™m picking them in 2023
with 2008 to 2022 covered, now i can finally do my top albums of this year!! šŸ˜
a p decent year for music, but kind of a strange one to pick for.. 2023 has felt so long that i could've sworn some of these albums ("cracker island" and "this is why") came out last year, some Rly good stuff only came out in the last week or so, and some of my fav stuff of the year has been eps.. so i think like in 2021 i'm gonna do a separate post for those again šŸ˜…
"this is why" comes incredibly close to being my album of the year, but i think it's gonna have to go to me rex's "giant elk" - a fucking stellar new release from one of my fav bands šŸ˜āœØ
the picks:
blur - the ballad of darren
boygenius - the record
carly rae jepsen - the loveliest time
gorillaz - cracker island
janelle monƔe - the age of pleasure
jenny lewis - joyā€™all
me rex - giant elk
paramore - this is why
problem patterns - blouse club
honourable mentions:
olivia rodrigo - guts (rly good album, but just slightly lost out to all of these šŸ˜†)
peter gabriel - i/o (only came out last week, and i've only listened once, but if it had come out sooner it'd definitely have made the list šŸ˜³)
witching waves - streams and waterways (another Rly fucking good album that only came out last week šŸ˜­)

āš«āšŖ Being Juventini for 20 years Iā€™m happy both of them left the club, especially after Juventusā€™ point deduction that made them couldnā€™t participate in any Europe competition.

Makhy! I had brain surgery on December 1 2022 and my surgeon kind of flopped (bless him, heā€™s a good guy) so I was in a medically induced coma for like a 3 weeks and then in icu for another two weeks. Iā€™m only starting to recover fully. I can type now so thatā€™s good.
Listen I dont know how to start but what the fuck you mean to say Argentina won the fucking world cup? Like that really happened???? Holy shet? I was confined in the hospital since November and just waiting for surgery. I watched these bitches lose to saudi arabia. I really thought they were fucking done! I also watched the mexico match and they were dogshit. That was the last match I watched. I missed the poland match because my doctors wanted me to rest and be calm/positive before opening my skull. Based on those two matches, I really never thought Argentina would go beyond r16. I promise I let jesus take the wheel. I gave up and has already accepted defeat. I so accepted defeat that when I woke up from coma, the results of the world cup was not even on my mind. Itā€™s like Messiā€™s first season in PSG, I conditioned my brain to pretend it did not happen. So I was not thinking of it at all. Like I forgot about it. Totally. I also decided to stay away from social media and just focus on my recovery and therapy. Until this fucking morning when I thought ā€œlet me scroll through tumblrā€ to practice my thumb dexterity/motion and I saw fcking photos of Messi kissing the fucking world cup??? When I tell you I froze and screamed like I was hit by a lightning! I literally screamed like what the fuck? The nurses had to run sprinting to my room because the machine attached to my chest started going crazy. Like my blood pressure was through the roof because I could not cope! Messi was wearing a see-through robe???? It was fucking 3-3???? Mbappe scored a hattrick???? Messi scored a fucking brace??? Argentina almost choked??? It went to penalties???? The keeper saved 2 pens??? Lloris the spurs man saved nothing??? Messi was carried around???? Holy shettt mahky!
Messi won the golden ball??? Mbappe won golden boot with Messi in 2nd place??? Messi played like he was not an aging father of 3???? Lautaro Martinez was Higuain??? Kun celebrated like he was still an active player??? The muchachos song??? The whole of Argentina gathered in Buenos Aires??? There was a parade with 5 million people??? Messi almost got taken out by a street wire while on the bus???? What the fuck Makhy!?!!!! I dont know where to fucking start!!!!????! Thereā€™s so many information and videos and tweets. I dont fucking know what to do.
Ronaldo fucking lost lmao! We fucking won lmao! I want to see and read ronaldo fans crying! I want it all! Ronaldo is now playing in saudi????? Itā€™s like I missed a whole life!!!! I am so happy but also so stunned to fully comprehend this happiness like I dont know how to express it I feel like I need to scream! Messi won the fucking world cup the fucking 5 foot something goofy man!
I am so glad you woke up fron your coma and are recovering well darling. That's such a relief to hear and.... yeah, your boys really went and done that. Can't believe you woke to the craziest time line bestie like wow.
Couldn't help but grin from ear to ear reading this. Felt like I was experiencing joy by proxyšŸ˜­.
Welcome back babe and congrats to your boys and especially messiā¤ā¤ā¤

My ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…Ā½ review of Interview with the Vampire on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/4HWSYf
So, it's out, folks. Just FYI, the last time I watched the movie was on HBO probably a decade ago, when I was deep in my vampire phase. Now, when I reviewed it, I tried my best to differentiate POV of a casual viewer and of someone who knows the novel's major plot. That review above is from a casual viewer's eye, but as a fan of the franchise, I'd give it only 3 star, and yes, it's mostly because of the writing.
As I said in that review, the script focusing more on fulfilling plot points did a disservice on the characters, and a lot of them is on Louis.
The script - whether it's the things it doesn't include, or the things that have been changed - makes film Louis a shadow of book Louis. You see him tortured by feeding on humans, but the movie doesn't show you why. They only gave you one short line to Lestat, something "sorry I still care about humanity" or something. It doesn't show that it's tied to his Catholic guilt or something more convincing. And you still have him as a slaver here, that definitely doesn't help people to sympathize with him. It's such that when Armand says "you're beautiful because you reflect your era" etc etc I was taken aback, because the first half doesn't depict his struggle as something beautiful. It makes him looking like a whining student, you're wondering why Lestat putting up with him. And they also took out the unhinged aspect of Louis' personality: e.g. attacking a priest, staying with Armand. When you don't know the book, it does look satisfying how Louis left Armand, but that also cut a lot of what makes Louis Louis imo. Like, a lot of things on Louis' characteristics don't make any sense due to these erasure and changes.
The script does favor Lestat and his actor's a lot. It doesn't show how controlling Lestat could be, while in the book there are moments where Louis and Claudia are really afraid of him. Cruise also got these scenes where he could show his range as an actor (really like his microexpressions when Claudia is about to kill him)
All of these make the NOLA era feels camp, but Paris era is really Gothic. You don't want tone changing like that in your movie šŸ˜­
Also I don't really enjoy the male gaze (no wonder straights never thought Loustat are gay here, the boobs misdirected them). The victims are always shot in eroticly, but they really double down when it's a woman (and most of them are women). And that naked woman on the stage scene still upsets me. Yes, I know, that's the point yes. But they could have been more focused on the horror on her face. And this scene also badly stands out because the tone change: if it felt like Gothic horror from the start, I wouldn't have been that surprised.
Anyway, there's an essay could be made on the changes Anne did here and the consequences they have on the characters compared to the changes Rolin and Co have made. But I'll leave it to anyone who's better with words than me hah!
Lastly, let me make a controversial acting ranking:
Tom Cruise - indusputable, the script literally helps him
(Not 2nd, but more like 5th, the gap is that big) Brad Pitt - the script drags him down, he's pretty good in scenes without Cruise
Kristen Dusnt - age handicap would put her above Pitt, but there are lines that I feel too "heavy" for her, and that's definitely not her fault. She has done a great job for someone in her age. Still a queen shit
Christian Slater - his character is so limited but he made it work. he has that banter chemistry with Pitt. But didn't really capture Daniel's out-of-his-mind at the end
Antonio Banderas - if I didn't know this should be The Armand, perhaps he would've been higher, but he's not my Armand, sorry. He's charming, but there's no an inch of seducer in his Armand. His whole plot makes him looking like a loser šŸ˜­

I cant- author how could you, I have to stop reading in between the chapters bc thereā€™s just so much fluff mixed with steamy ness mixed with sadness mixed with wholesomeness. Every time I read a chapter Iā€™m on a roller coaster and I donā€™t know how to handle everything sksjebrdisk. TEASE! Theyā€™re all teases and the fact that they all know what their doing like fr sheā€™s not gonna make it to the end of the year, bet! No cause joon is literally jsut a big goof ball, menacing wolf my ass- deep inside heā€™s jsut a nerdy hunk of beef jerky. No ngl that hobi scene got me felling like DAMN, ouchie but also steamy oof oof oof. No like I felt that bite fr, him and jk fr. I thoguht jimin scent scene would be tamer and it was in a sense, but like you still feel the steamy ness when you read it like itā€™s so him soft and gentle manly omg your writing is jsut so good. Like all my friends are writers, Iā€™m not really one but I showed them your fic and they were so impressed for realz, also many of them are all addicted to trouvallie and itā€™s characters now lol. Frankly I donā€™t understand all the work that goes into writing I donā€™t write that often unless itā€™s an assignment or smth but my friends love your writing, [they mainly read on ao3, not tumble tho so they donā€™t got accountsā€¦. Yet ;)] Even tho I donā€™t understand what writers go thru, I truly apprĆŖtĆ¢tes all the work you put into this series, you give us a heavy spicy chapter every month, I mean 20k is a lot so ty. Honestly personally believe you should have more likes. Also I know this is already really long, but I tend to smths forget their physical features, like eye color and stuff like I know Jin and joon have like amber ish and then jimin has yellow but do the rest have brown? I feel like yoongi had green but I may be mixing it up with another fic. Also, do their ages match this year or last year since youā€™ve been writing this since last year? Ok thanks thatā€™s enough for now, have a good week!
FDSAFH This update was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, huh!! I'm really excited that I was able to stir up all those emotions in you, though. You're sooo right they're ALL a bunch of teases, MC must be going THROUGH it, I mean seriously! šŸ‘¹
Ugh Joonie... he really has that 'big bad wolf' vibe that masks a certain sweetness or innocence within him. Nerdy beef jerky that's SUCH a good way to describe him I'm crying!! And Hoseok PLS I just... needed his scenting scene to be as sexy as he is. As for Jimin, that's the exact vibe you described I was going for-- gentle, manly and steamy ahhh!! šŸ›
Omg also... thank you so much for being so sweet about my writing! I'm blushing so hard šŸ˜­šŸ„ŗ... thank you for showing my story to your friends, that means so much to me, and please tell them thank you for their kind words as well for me! I'm planning on cross posting Trovaille on AO3 soon additionally, so I'll make sure to post an announcement for that if your friends are more comfortable reading on that platform! I love planning and writing these chapters every month, and making them nice and lengthy as well... as for likes, I'm very happy with my interactions at the moment! I have sweet, kind, and clever readers, and I believe that those who are meant to find Trouvaille always will. šŸ„°šŸ’“šŸ’œ
So for physical features of each hybrid! I think it'll be helpful for me to list them here for you and anyone else who has forgotten or didn't catch it before! Their ages match up to their ages as of August 2022- so Jeongguk will be turning 25 in the next chapter, and so forth. Here are their eye/hair colors:
Seokjin: Sunset-like orange eyes, blue black curly/wavy hair
Yoongi: Green/gold hazel eyes, black hair
Hoseok: Cocoa brown eyes with caramel/gold flecks, red/brown mahogany wavy hair
Namjoon: Amber (like orangey, dark honey) eyes, silver grey hair
Jimin: Yellow (like butterscotch) eyes, honey blonde hair
Taehyung: Red (carmine) brown eyes, curly black hair
Jeongguk: Black eyes, mixed chestnut brown hair
I tried my best to give each of the boys similar colored eyes to what kind of hybrid they are-- for example, black jaguars typically have those copper-penny eyes, and elks have deep black eyes. To give them all a bit of distinction, as well! šŸ’œ
Hope you're doing well, love, and thank you for sending me this wonderful message! šŸ’“šŸ„°

not a ship ask but iā€™m still very very curiousā€¦ whatā€™s your fave book youā€™ve read so far this year? and your least favorite book of this year? any recommendations? :3 (iā€™ve been back in a slump and it sucks šŸ˜­ last book i read was like, september?? of 2022??? i wanna get back into it so bad but it seems like nowadays almost everything is a series and i simply cannot commit to all that right now šŸ’”)
i was saving this ask for last because itā€™s such a treat to answer asks abt booksā€¦ like omg, you guys want to hear my dumbass book thoughts??? iā€™ve got them!!!
i think my favorite book iā€™ve read this year mightā€™ve been revelator by daryl gregory or horns by joe hill. i started out the year with some good horror novelsā€¦ but for the more supernatural romance, i have to say that i rlly enjoyed the orphan of cemetery hill by hester fox! ((made a lullaby for witches that more disappointing when i read itā€¦ what happened to the great romantic chemistry, hester? what did you do with it? how are you going to fuck up a story about haunting and possession that bad?)
oh god, i read your next question and šŸ’€ i think i already answered, lol, it was a lullaby for witches. it was uninspired the whole way through, whichā€¦ is shocking, since itā€™s literally about a witchā€™s ghost haunting her descendant and slowly possessing her. but it was super shallow and none of the character choices really felt all that interesting. they felt like real people in the most bland way. and the reveals weā€™re all extremely telegraphed + told to me rather thanā€¦ revealed, you know? it jst annoyed me that i spent the first fifty pages getting excited for it to get goodā€¦ and then it kept that plateau of energy the whole time. i rlly didnā€™t care. it was boring :///
(donā€™t feel bad about not reading for a bit! series are everywhere and it sucks when i donā€™t want to get into *gestures vaguely at it* all of that. so i get where youā€™re coming from. i can rec some good one-offs iā€™ve enjoyed though!!
like the orphan of cemetery hill by hester fox, as aforementionedā€”itā€™s a paranormal romance between a girl that can see ghosts and a high-society boy during the spiritualism craze in boston. to top it all off, thereā€™s been bodies stolen from the cemetery that the girl works at and sheā€™s being tracked down by people that want to study her ability to see ghostsā€¦ itā€™s a vv fun read + the male love interest is literally a flouncing peacock. i cant stand him. i love him.
also, curses by lish mcbride was one i enjoyed last year! itā€™s a fun reimagining of beauty and the beast, where the main girl got cursed by her mother for not wanting to married off at the age of 14. now that some timeā€™s passed, she decides that she needs to break the curse to make her mom happy, so she hires a boy known for scamming rich people so that she can convince someone to marry her and break the curse. itā€™s a little sillyridiculous and itā€™s honestly one of the very, very few batb retelling where iā€™m like ā€œalright. youā€™re allowed to have fun <333ā€ :3
iā€™ve also been reading persuasion by jane austen lately and i mean. i meannnnnn. iā€™m not far enough to feel i can give a good summary, but itā€™s jane austen! itā€™s a fun little time :)

{mostly typed 11 November 2022}
my first and only? (2:19 I think he edited putting in the word ā€œfirstā€ šŸ˜‘šŸ˜¤ he keeps messing with me) incubus spiritual husband wants me to believe we have @ lease [least 855 am pdt 12 November 22] 3 children together, & the oldest might be around 21 years old now, & another close in age to the oldest, & the youngest born about 4 years old & another one on the way.
2:06 p.m. I am hesitant to believe him. Seeing is believing. It seems these incubus have a way of doing things with us without us finding out. I read on Wikipedia that when an incubus comes 2 u, he might paralyze u for a while. Back in 2015, I remember not being able 2 move, & felt like something could have been on top of me weighing me down, in a half sleep kind of state & having nightmares that made me want 2 scream but no sound would come out of my mouth when I tried. It felt awful. It happened multiple times. Once before opening my eyes I felt something go a little ways inside of me & out seconds later(& I remembered I cried a little when I felt it) & then he? quickly touched my lips (eyes still closed). Another day after I woke up & sat up? The hangers in my closet started moving & it scared me - I jumped up & ran out of the room yelling/screaming. When I went back I found nothing there, but in this same closet there was a cut out in the floor- an under the apartment crawl space for Comcast to go into. I had kept a small crate of credit card statements in the closet, & when I reviewed the files it seemed like some statements went missing.
2:17 p.m. I donā€™t know if there was a public way into that crawl space. I didnā€™t have the courage 2 crawl into it.
2:18 p.m.
pps today is Friday 11 November 2022 252 pm pdt
ppps 14 November 2022 Monday 732 am pdt: I think he/they have hurt me too much to be able to produce a healthy zygote? Egg šŸ„š anymore. In 2020 the hospital told me I wasnā€™t healthy enough to get pregnant šŸ¤°. They šŸŖš sawed away at my bones šŸ¦“ a lot & did a big number on me. So that baby šŸ‘¶ probably isnā€™t mine. Disappointed šŸ˜ž. 735 am pdt. He lied šŸ¤„ to me again. I felt like I have been celibate the whole time. & I still had difficulty this year. Probably Every thing is a lie. He doesnā€™t love ā¤ļø me. Probably never has & never will. I guess he loves Maryka? šŸ§šŸ˜µI have no proof of love ā¤ļø. A lot of times men will marry only to fulfill a family obligation & wives are only baby makers. Too good to b true. Life triple, quadruple, quintuple, septuple, octople, 1 trillion times sucks now. Please go away Adam Levine & never come back. Please maroon us already. Tired of your building up ā¬†ļø & let downs. Go back to your home planet šŸŒŽ wherever you came from. 5= go in nihongo. 5 5 5!!! Ni = 2 & to ? Hon = book šŸ“– bi = 2... 747 am pdt hungry he keeps making my tummy ache when I think of eating šŸ½šŸ˜žšŸ˜–šŸ˜¤šŸ˜µšŸ¤¢šŸ˜µ748 am pdt 14 November 2022 Monday. He said he was obsessed with her. Obsession is part of Twitterpated definition. He said he would do anything for her. While Iā€™m treated like trash. Steak šŸ„© for her butt. I guess she is his choice for fun. His personality type, personality compatibility, but I guess not his top pick for offspring unless thatā€™s a lie, about being done with being a father - wanting out. Although I really think she looks older than 20. I know someone who is 20(my cousin), & she has a more rounder teenage face than Maryka. 757 am pdt. I donā€™t know šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø. Did she do stuff to her face??? Plastic surgery? Too much? Yeah, well you made me very mad especially these last 5 years, incubus spiritual husband of mine šŸ˜”šŸ„µšŸ¤¬šŸ˜¤ I cried a lot šŸ˜­ rivers. 806 am pdt.

What can I say. It was a year.
1. What did you do in 2021 that you hadnā€™t done before? Started learning Spanish, bought a house at auction, touched a dinosaur skeleton, had laser hair removal. 2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Not this year. 3. Did anyone close to you die? My grandmother died in September, and because of the general ā€˜everything is fucked-nessā€™ at the time, I couldnā€™t go to NSW for her funeral. It was the second year in a row this happened after my grandfather died last year, and Iā€™m not really sure Iā€™ve processed any of the emotions properly yet. 4. Did you travel? Where did you go? Best holiday memory? Had a staycation in Melbourne CBD in April ā€“ does that count? Hahahahahah. Every other travel plan we had this year got cancelled because of lockdowns. Itā€™s fine. Totally fine. 5. Best thing you bought? Our new house!! šŸ” And a new TV, which meant that the old TV became the bedroom TV which has been LIFE CHANGING. 6. Where did most of your money go? I feel like our Australia Post delivery man was at our house twice a week all year long and yet I can hardly remember anything I bought this year. Anyway, most of my money went to the bank for our house deposit šŸ˜­ 7. What do you wish you had done more of? Listening to music. My last.fm/Spotify stats were very sad this year. 8. What do you wish you had done less of? Idk, watching the news? I always felt better when I disengaged from the daily terror updates. 9. What kept you sane? Constantly having a TV project on the go to fill in the endless hours stuck at home. 10. What drove you mad? All the usual suspects ā€“ anti-vaxxers, anti-lockdown protestors, fuckwits on the internetā€¦ 11. What made you celebrate? Getting vaccinated! Melbourne and Penrith winning the AFL and NRL premierships was pretty exciting as well. 12. What made you sad? Another year of cancelled/postponed events and all the associated joy they bringā€¦not being able to see Hamilton in Sydney, not being able to go on our consolation high country weekend, all the festivals - RISING, the Writerā€™s Fest, Open House Melbourneā€¦and when I had to find a new hairdresser after my hairdresser of almost 20 years revealed himself to be a giant anti-vaxxer baby and refused to reopen his salon because he didnā€™t want to comply with the vax mandate. 13. How was your birthday this year and how old did you turn? It was on a Monday and we were out of lockdown at that point (lol) so I went to work in the office, where we had cake and a few people took me out for lunch. Celebrated over the weekend by going to see Lano & Woodley on the Friday night, and had a delicious meal at Tonda Italian on Saturday night. I turned 37. 14. What political issue stirred you the most this year? Every single political issue this year just made me want to run away into the hills and never come back. 15. Were you in love in 2021?

Did you keep your new yearā€™s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I still havenā€™t made a will šŸ™ˆ Itā€™s still on the to-do list though. I also want to read all the books Iā€™ve bought before I buy any new ones šŸ˜‚ 20. Did you suffer illness or injury? I completely fucked my back in August, to the point where I couldnā€™t move without extreme agony. Had to go to the physiotherapist approximately 400 times to sort it out. I guess this is middle age. 21. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder?Ā Happier!

Being a property mogul is an expensive business šŸ˜‚ 22. How will you be spending Christmas?
