Some dog movie observations:
The 1990s to like 2010 seems to be the golden age of dog movies. We got Beethoven (1992), Homeward Bound (1993), Air Bud (1997), 101 Dalmatians (1996), Snow Dogs (2002), Because of Winn Dixie (2005), Hotel for Dogs (2009), Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) to name a few that I enjoyed. There is also a slew of B-rate movies that while not as good, still have some charm. I will say I think it helps that cgi wasn’t heavily used in movies until the later 2000s and 2010s, and it is my humble opinion that too much cgi ruins the movies. The more tricks the dog actually does on camera, the better. Bonus points if clever camera shots and practical effects are used instead of cgi.
Anything before the 80s? Questionable animal ethics. (The Animal welfare act was passed in 1966, so really anything before then is… wild.)
Now. As we travel into the 2010s-2020s, we see an uptick in copaganda. (Max, Dog, Rescued by Ruby, and a Dogs Journey are some recent ones). We also see an uptick of Really Bad Movies (think like a dog-BAD. Lady and the tramp? WORSE.) we also see a lot of strange indie films about dogs (white god was….. weird.) this is also when the “air buddies” took off to be their own thing, which has turned into an entire studio that makes Bad Dog Movies (and also shows! Pup academy, phantom pups, and one other one on Netflix. They are Bad)
There are also several with like 100 remakes (lassie, benji, where the red fern grows, like 200 different white fangs smh) so I’m not super sure how I’m going to tackle those….
The most popular dog breeds in these movies are probably goldens, labs, German shepherds, Great Danes (! At least 3 so far; marmaduke, the ugly Dachshund, and Chestnut hero of Central Park), old English sheepdogs (! Surprising but there was a few!) and beagles (again at least a few movies). Also, terriers.
Dobermans, Rottweilers, Beaucerons, and German shepherds are top picks for the antagonist characters, or just as Menacing Dogs
There are several I haven’t watched yet because they are not on any streaming service, and I will have to check my library to see if they have any of them to loan. I am looking forward to the Tim Allen shaggy dog (horrifying poster- dog with human eyes photoshopped on), marmaduke (I remember this movie being terrible), cats & dogs (I remember liking these)
Im tempted to try and make a big long video just. Reviewing all the movies I have watched but that is a massive waste of my time and also I have the personality of a shoe so I’m not sure who would actually be interested in watching it. Much to think about.

⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆☁︎⋆₊ ⊹
“What? You wanted to fuck the rockstars daughter so you could go home and tell all your little friends? Is that it?” You spit, crossing your arms over your chest.
“No! That’s not— that’s not what I was trying to do.” He says, pulling the hem of his shirt down before untucking his hair from the neckline.
“So what were you trying to do?” You ask, watching as he pulls his shoes on. He finishes putting them on, omitting from tying them before standing up straighter, placing both of his hands on your shoulders. He looks into your eyes deeply and you can tell he’s trying to choose his words wisely. 
“I like you. I just— I can’t live in your dreamland. I have 4 gigs this week and I already missed practice. Plus, I have a meeting tomorrow and I haven’t prepared for it at all, and I haven't even had a chance to call my band mates back.” He says, growing more uptight as he continues in his long list of abandoned responsibilities.
“Leave.” You say, shrugging his grip off. His eyes flash hurt before his mouth presses shut firmly, clenching his jaw. He brings a hand to his face, rubbing at his chin before opening his mouth again. 
“I just need to go back to the real world for a few days, sorry I can’t stay here and live in your fairytale forever.” He says, adding too much attitude and contest for your liking. 
You cross the apartment, opening the front door, motioning with your arm for him to leave. 
Closing the distance between the two of you, he stops in front of you, eyes meeting yours once again. 
“I’ll call you.” He says, features turning soft. 
“Don’t bother, I would hate to taint your sense of reality.” You retort.
“I’ll call you.” He says firmer. He steps forward, pressing a kiss to your cheek before looking at you. You don’t say anything in response. 
With a soft nod, Eddie leaves and you shut the door behind him with a long sigh. 
You met Eddie at a party. Running in the music crowd because of who your father was, your friend is a music producer and manager. He had found Eddie at some dingy dive bar performing and swore up and down that his band was gonna be the next best thing in music and because of that, he brought Eddie along to the party to introduce him to Reggie Records, owner of big time music label, RR Music.
As soon as you saw Eddie, you knew you had to have him. There was just something about him that demanded your attention and once he had it, there was no losing it. 
Then before you knew it, he was over at your apartment.
It was 4 days of uninterrupted time with Eddie. He calls it a ‘dreamland’ or a ‘fairytale’, you call it life. Life is precious and gone in a blink of an eye, you’re gonna live your life how you want to.
Your father was a rockstar. After a fatal accident, he became nothing more than a memory. A memory that left you, young and broken hearted, stranded amongst a crowd of grownups, forcing you to grow up. 
Growing up was too scary though, so you never did. Through your childhood and into your teen years, you daydreamed about running away, living amongst other dreamers with no responsibilities where nothing could hurt you. When you were off on your own, you got your apartment and turned it into your sanctuary. A place where you could live happily ever after.
You get where Eddie’s coming from. Your friends never fail to tell you how disconnected you are, but it’s easier this way. It’s easier to live in a world where all you have to do is hang out with friends, shop, order in, and call maid services. But all that aside, the easiest thing was the last 4 days you spent with Eddie. With your intuition never faltering, he’s everything you’ve ever wanted and more. And that’s why the fight transpired when he finally had to face reality and leave you behind. 
He left you in your dreamland. Left you to return to your responsibility-less life, fantasizing through your days and partying through your nights. A rockstar's daughter through and through, just without the rockstar father.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
You’ve spent the last week and a half groveling in your own pity. Your friend had come over to cheer you up but she ended up mostly just nagging you about cleaning up and doing something else besides wasting your time away, hung up on a boy. 
You had given yourself a pep talk that morning, vowing to drop him from your mind. You took a shower, got ready and were about to leave your apartment for the first time in a week when your phone ringing interrupted you. 
“Hey, it’s Eddie.” His low voice vibrating on the other end of the line.
“Eddie who?” You say, remembering how he said he’d call, yet it took him 11 days to do so.
“Don’t be like that.” 
“Eddie who?” You say harshly. 
“Munson.” He says with a deep sigh. 
“Oh, the Eddie who lives in ‘the real world’?” You retort.
“Sure.” He says, sighing again. “Listen, I was wondering if you wanted to get dinner?”
“Why?” 
“I told you, I like you.” He says and your heart patters in your chest. You pause, gathering your thoughts. Sure, you spend the last almost 2 weeks of your life wallowing in your own self-pity over him, but you’re not about to let him off the hook like that just because he says he likes you.
“You got a funny way of showing it.” You say, lamely.
“So dinner? Tonight? How’s 7 sound?” He proceeds, ignoring your comment entirely. 
“Eddie—.” You start but he interrupts you. 
“I’ll pick you up. We can go to that place near you that we ordered from, the one you said you like.”
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
A knock at the door pulls you away from your vanity. You’re infamously running late as usual, which normally you’d feel no particular way about, but since Eddie already thinks you’re living in some made up fantasy world, you're struck with a sense of embarrassment. 
“Hey, beautiful.” Eddie greets as you open the door.
“Eddie.” You say indifferently.
“I would ask if you’re ready but…” he laughs, motioning up to the roller in the front of your hair and down to the dressing robe you’re wearing. 
“Eddie, I’m running a little late, please hold off on the hurtful jokes.” You say, widening the door for him to come in.
“No jokes, got it.” He says, pulling you into him with a hand around your waist, pressing a kiss to your cheek. 
With your belly dipping in nerves, when he lets you go you turn around, walking back to your room. Silently, he trails along after you, taking a seat on your bed. 
“We got an ETA?” He asks.
“No jokes I said.”
“S’not a joke, pretty girl, it’s a question.” He says, smiling at you through your vanity mirror. His smile spreads from ear to ear, his eyes twinkling in the lowlights of your room. 
“You’re in a good mood.” You say, pulling the rollers out of your hair. 
“We’re celebrating tonight.” He says, sitting up straighter, eyes still glued to your reflection.
“Celebrating?” You question, turning in your seat to look at him directly rather than just through the mirror.”
“We got signed.” He says, dimples setting deep on his cheeks. 
“Seriously?” You exclaim, feeling your heart skip a beat. Eddie smiles bigger and you can’t help your own smile spreading on your face. 
“Seriously. We had the meeting yesterday, and it went fan-fucking-tastic.” He smiles, eyes beaming with excitement. “Then they called this morning and sent over the paperwork. We’re signed.” 
“Why didn’t you say anything?” You shriek, standing up and bounding for him. Wrapping your arms around his neck, you hug him with all your force, pressing your chest to his. 
“Between ‘Eddie who?’ and ‘Eddie who lives in the real world’, it didn’t exactly fit into the conversation on the phone.” He laughs, buckling under your weight and falling back onto the mattress. 
“Are you kidding? You got signed, Eddie, that fits into every conversation.” You say, pulling back to look at him, gleaming with your own excitement. “I’m so happy for you.” You say, pressing a kiss to his lips. 
“Thank you.” He mutters shyly. “So that’s why we’re celebrating.” He says excitedly, still smiling when you pull back to look at him again.
“And you wanted to celebrate with me?” You ask, pouting, your lower lip jetting out.
“Absolutely, which reminds me, I have something to show you.” He says, shifting under you, pulling a CD out of his jacket.
“A CD?” You question curiously, still smiling. 
“Yeah… the day after I left here, we had a meeting and they wanted something different— you know, to hear some diversity in our sound.” He says, eyes flickering down to the CD in his hands, nervously fumbling with it. “I had already kind of started working on this the night before, and… this is the song that got us signed.” He says, exhaling before redirecting his gaze back to you with a shy smile. You raise your brows.
“New song?” You ask quietly, feeling a buzz of excitement but winding it back due to Eddie’s growing shy nature. 
“New song.” He confirms, smile deepening. 
You take the CD from him, sitting us quickly and rushing to your CD player on the shelf. He follows after you, leaning against your dresser while you start up the disc.
“Now, before you start it, I think I should tell you the name of the song.” He says playfully, a hint of a sly taunt in his voice, shyness put on the back burner.
“Okay, tell me the name.” You laugh. 
“Rockstar’s Daughter.” 
Your jaw drops in surprise.
“It’s about me?” You ask, eyes going wide.
“The one and only.” He smiles.
Throwing yourself in Eddie’s arms, squeezing him tightly around his neck, he squeezes you back around your waist. 
“Okay, okay. Play it, I want you to hear it.” He laughs. You keep squeezing him so he turns, stepping you both closer so that he can hit play on your CD player.
Still hanging off of Eddie, music trickles from the CD player. It starts off slow, with a gentle acoustic guitar, way different from everything else he’s played you. 
When the lyrics come in, you are nearly swept clean off your feet from Eddie’s gentle voice. It’s a ballad, working up as the song builds on. 
When the words 'Rockstar's Daughter’ sing out, you point to yourself, cheeks tight with your smile being so big. 
“Me?” You whisper to Eddie.
“You.” He whispers back with a nod. You squeeze him tighter in your arms. 
The lyrics continue, listening intently, and you laugh when he starts describing your ‘fairytale dreamland’ and how he wants to stay there forever.
The song starts to build up and so does the beating of your heart. Looking at Eddie, his eyes are bubbling with amusement, sparkling as he watches you. Your eyes trailing lower, his lips are plump and inviting. 
You squeeze him tighter once again before bringing your lips to his. 
You kiss him fervently, all of your happy emotions bubbling up at once. He brings his hand up to your jaw, his mouth working against yours with just as much passion. Opening your mouth, he’s quick to lick into you, tongue gentle at first as it caresses yours.
“I love the song.” You mumble against his mouth. You feel his lips turn up at the corners.
“It’s not even done yet.” He says, laughing softly, returning to the kiss immediately. You continue kissing him until it comes to an end, music fading out.
“Restart it.” You mumble, when the song stops completely. 
Still kissing you, Eddie turns your body as he attempts to restart the song. His mouth falters against yours for a moment while he figures out your CD player, but he eventually gets it, the track restarting from the top.
You pull away from him, hitting the little loop button before grabbing his hand and pulling him to the edge of your bed.
You seamlessly untie your dressing robe, letting it fall to the floor, revealing your naked body.
Eddie’s eyes widen, his jaw slacking as his eyes roam over you.
“Thought you didn’t like my ‘fairytale dreamland’?” You tease.
“Never said that.” He replies, swallowing thickly.
You bring your hands to his shoulders, pulling his jacket down from the collar, letting it drop to the floor.
“You kind of did.” You reply.
“I love your little world here in your apartment. I would stay in it forever if I could.” He says, eyes flickering to yours. You grasp onto the hem of his shirt, pulling it up and when he lifts his arms you pull it over his head. His hair cascades down, resting back onto his bare shoulders as you drop the material to the floor.
“You could.” You reply, hands trailing over his chest.
“I wouldn’t have written this song if I stayed.” He replies, bringing a hand to your cheek, holding it tenderly, warm eyes staring into yours.
“The song’s pretty good.” You say, hearing his voice sing in the background of your conversation.
“Pretty good?” He smiles, raising a brow. 
“Really good.” You smile back.
“Good. I’m glad you like it.” He says. You let your eyes trail down his face again, traveling further downwards until stopping at his tattoo over his heart. 
“I love it.” You whisper, pressing a chaste kiss to the edge of the inked design. 
“S’all for you. Every word.” He says, weaving his hand into your hair gently. You press more kisses onto his chest, traveling back up until you're kissing up his neck.
“I love every word of it.” You whisper, punctuating your sentiment with a wet kiss under his ear. You let your hands fall to his belt line, taking the cold metal into your grip, working at getting it open.
“I missed you. It’s hard out there in the real world.” He says teasingly. You smile, pulling away from his neck to look at him.
“Really? You should bring me out there sometime.” You tease back.
“Was trying to, but uh— don’t know if we’ll make it to dinner now.” He says, lowering his eyes to where your hands have paused on his belt.
You pull the buckle loose, undoing his pants before he dips his face to you, pressing kisses along your cheek, down your jaw, craning his neck to press kisses all the way down to your collarbone.
You pull him by the loops of his pants closer to the bed, making him sit on the edge before you pull at his pants. He lifts his hips, allowing for you to tug them down and discard them on the floor, his boxers following suit.
You settle on your knees in front of him and the song restarts from the beginning again.
“You gonna make me listen to my own song?” He laughs.
“Listen to your own song while I suck your dick? Yes.” You say keeping an air of innocence in your voice, all while looking up at him through your lashes.
“Really?” He laughs again, eyes fanning from your face down to where your hands connect with his thighs. 
“You wrote it about me, I can do whatever I want with it.” You purr. You take his hardening cock in your hands, running your fist down it before kitten licking the tip.
“Fuck— yeah you can.” He groans, his length kicking up under your grasp. You spit on the head, spreading the wetness downwards.
When he’s wet enough, you bring your fist up and down before bringing your mouth back to his length, pressing a kiss right onto the flushing tip.
“Missed you, Eddie.” You say sweetly, taking the tip into your mouth, hollowing your cheeks as you suck gently as first.
“Shit, missed you too.” He gasps, voice getting strangled in his chest. You swirl your tongue around his tip before flattening it, taking him further into your mouth.
You twist your wrists, running your hands up and down his length, bobbing your head shallowly. He’s quickly a moaning mess in your grasp, and you feel yourself growing hotter, clenching your thighs for relief.
You remove one hand, taking him deeper in your mouth and he brings his hand to the side of your face, pushing your hair out of the way. You lean into his hold and he gets the hint, guiding you up and down.
You pull up, taking a breath, strings of spit still connecting you to him, before diving back down. You remove your second hand from his length, relaxing your throat and letting him glide right in, his hand on your head holding you there, his cock pressed against the back of your throat.
“F-fuck. Feels so good, baby.” He groans, eyes squeezing shut. His hand lets up on the back of your head just as you feel your lungs tightening, and you rise sputtering for air, catching your breath.
“Wanna ride you, Eddie.” You whine, unable to ignore the pulsing of desire between your legs for any longer.
“C’mon baby. Come ride me.” He says breathily, offering you a hand up. As you rise, he pulls you onto the bed before using his arms to scootch himself to the headboard, leaning against it. 
He offers you his hand and you take it, stabilizing yourself as you swing your leg over his hips.
Moving your hand to his chest, you use your other hand to guide his length to your entrance. 
Sinking down onto him, a harmonized moan leaves both of your lips, the soft strum of the song restarting once again still playing in the background. 
“Fuck, baby. Gonna write a song about your pussy next.” He groans lowly, making you laugh softly.
“Yeah? What’re you gonna write about it?” You ask, through a heavy breath.
“How fucking good it is. So tight, hugging my cock so perfectly.”
“Can't wait to hear it.” You moan, as you lift your hips from his, lowering yourself back down slowly.
“Your pussy was made for me. S’fucking perfect.” He says, bringing his hands to your hips, helping you continue to lift yourself off of him.
You start at a slow pace, working yourself up and down, taking his full length right down to his base. You feel your belly grow antsy, needing more, and you start grinding yourself against him after each sink, your clit rubbing perfectly against him.
“Fuck, Eddie. Your cock feels so good, fills me up so good.” You moan out, dropping your head to rest against his chest. With one arm, he pulls you closer to him. He lifts you enough for his hips to shift under you, helping you by meeting you halfway with each of your movements as your legs start to grow tired.
You keep going, thighs pushing you up and down on his cock until they burn, aching for relief. His hips make up for your tiredness, still continuing to buck up into you. 
“Want me to take over, baby? Fuck you just how you like it?” He rasps, hand rubbing up and down your back as his hips start to slow.
“Please, Eddie. Need you to.” You whimper.
He helps you lift up off of him. Taking your hips in his hands, he starts moving you to shift onto your hands and knees but you place a hand over his chest, motioning for him to pause. Over the four days at your apartment, he discovered that he could pull the best orgasms from you like that, but you stop him, wanting to be on your back this time.
“Want to see you, Eddie.” You say, voice coming out in a whine. 
“Whatever you want, pretty girl.” He says, pressing a kiss to your lips. His mouth works against yours as he helps you lower to the bed, head hitting the pillow softly as he hovers over you.
When he pulls away from the kiss, he maneuvers your legs, taking them in his hands by your knees, hiking them up as you spread them out for him. 
“Look at your pretty pussy. You look so beautiful laid out like this for me.” He whispers huskily.
“Better write that down for your new song.” You whisper back, making his lips quirk up into a smile, huffing softly. 
He brings his hand down to your core, letting his thumb stroke the expanse of your slit, stopping at your clit.
“So fucking wet too.” He says under his breath. 
“All for you, Eddie.” You whisper, canting your hips for more friction. 
He starts rubbing his thumb in little circles on your clit making you gasp.
“Please, Eddie. Need you inside.” You whine, hips bucking as he presses harshly on your clit just to watch you squirm. 
“Perfect pussy.” He groans under his breath, taking his glistening cock in his hand, lining up with your sopping hole.
When he pushes in, you hum happily feeling him stretch you open. 
He presses into you deeply, knowing exactly how you like it already. The head of his cock drags against your sweet spot as he pulls out and it has you chorusing moans, accompanying the build up of his song still playing in the background. 
“Sound so pretty, baby.” He rasps, breath catching in his throat as he pushes back into you quicker, balls slapping against your ass.
“You sound so pretty.” You breathe, starting to get lost in the pleasure but trying to hold onto the faint singing of his voice coming from across the room. 
You feel your belly start to tense, and when he returns his thumb to your clit your breathing turns into harsh little pants.
“Just like that, Eddie. Feels so good.” You whimper.
His thrusting continues, getting faster and harder, building up with the volume of your moans. Your belly grows impossibly tight, euphoria threatening to spill. 
The sounds of his skin slapping against yours binds perfectly with the gentle instruments in the song, perfectly complimenting the moans and whimpers coming from Eddie as he pounds into you. 
You feel yourself getting close and rapture quickly boils over, not even giving you a chance to tell Eddie. 
Every beautiful cascading symphony slowly fades in your ears as your pleasure bursts, tightened belly exploding with ecstasy, all thoughts leaving your head as Eddie carries you through your orgasm. 
“Fuck— fuck. Just squeezing my cock, baby.” He groans, thrusts starting to go sloppy. “Gonna cum, g-gonna—” He grunts, cock pressing deeply into you as his cum shoots inside, painting your walls pearly white. His hips jerk and stutter as he works himself through his own orgasm, and you slowly recover from your own.
When his hips come to a halt, you reach out your arms, beckoning for him to come to you, to press his chest to your own and feel his body on top of yours. He complies, arms caging around you, lowering himself as gently as he can.
As soon as he settles against you, the crescendo of the song in the background comes to an end, fading to silence, like a perfectly timed soundtrack. 
When it restarts again, you can’t help but laugh.
“I love my song.” You say, exhaling with a happy sigh. 
“Fuck— can’t wait for you to hear the next one I’m gonna write.” He laughs softly.
You hum quietly to yourself feeling beyond content. If this is some fairytale dreamland, so be it. You have a beautiful man here with you, writing you lovey ballads. 
“You doing anything the next couple of days?” He asks, popping his head up from your chest.
“Why?” You ask, a smile already rising on your lips.
“Gotta a few days off until we start recording more stuff.”
“Yeah?” You question, willing him to continue. He uses his arms to push himself up enough to see you better.
“I was thinking…” He starts, brows rising to hide under his messy bangs. “If you’ll have me, I’d love to spend them with you? Maybe we can go out and do stuff too? Like the date I wanted to take you on?” He says, voice going timid and smile turning sheepish as he progresses in his proposal. 
You purse your lips, letting your eyes wander the room as you pretend to think it over. When you focus back on Eddie, his eyes bleed a faint nervousness.
“I’m going to keep that song on repeat, just so you know.” You say, grinning as you look up at him. He smiles back, pressing a kiss to the tip of your nose.
“Does fairytale dreamland have a new soundtrack?” He teases. 
“Yes.” You reply firmly, before pulling him to your lips, kissing him.
Not only does fairytale dreamland have a new soundtrack, it seems to have a new willing resident too.

2024 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Guide For Those Who Haven’t Actually Watched Them
In a year when the names of pretty much every movie are combinations of random, non-descript words, and with a lineup of films that few people did actually watch or even legitimately know what they’re about (except Barbenheimer) - the Academy really tested the flimsy premise of this now decade-old bit.
But tis the season! So sing along with me! My awards have a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R!
My awards have a second name, it’s C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-E-H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D-W-I-L-L-S-O-O-N-B-R-E-A-K-I-T-S-P-R-O-M-I-S-E-T-O-T-H-E-U-N-I-O-N-S-A-N-D-C-R-E-A-T-E-A-L-L-O-F-T-H-E-S-E-M-O-V-I-E-S-W-I-T-H-A-I-I-N-T-H-E-F-U-T-U-R-E!
So, let’s dive in for this 10th rundown of the Best Picture nominees!
Tumblr media
American Fiction
What Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls critical race theory.
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
German Fiction is what those who planned to vote for DeSantis call Zone of Interest.
If this wins, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty will announce it as La La Land.
Tracee Ellis Ross plays the role of Dr. Lisa Ellison. Other original names for characters were Myra Lucretia Taylor as Dr. Mary Lucretiason, Michael Cyril Creighton as Dr. Thomas Cyrilson and Sterling K. Brown as Dr. William K.-son.
Anatomy of a Fall
About 6-foot-2 and roughly 200 pounds at the time that he slapped Chris Rock at this awards show in 2022. 
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? They call it Anatomie D'Une Cheese.
I thought it was a bit lazy that in order to play the half-blind son, director Justine Triet just put an eye-patch on Milo Machado-Graner and exclaimed, “Mon Dieu! Ze garçon is now half blind. Voir!
Eric Clapton’s least favorite Best Picture nominee.
Barbie
A sharp and immensely profitable attack upon the patriarchy and a film that became a rallying cry for female empowerment in Hollywood that garnered no Best Director or Best Actress nominations but nabbed a nom for penis-owning actor Ryan Gosling.
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
Hi Barbie!
One day during childhood, I agreed to play Barbies with my two sisters and my brother. But we played Saved By The Bell with Ken as Zack Morris, an Aladdin doll as A.C. Slater and various Barbies as Kelly, Jessie and Lisa. It was civil until I got bored and used another Ken doll to be Screech and all of a sudden gave him the power (ironically…Screech's last name was Powers) to fly and then pretended he was flying over the Dream House and farting and pooping down (also ironically in light of Dustin Diamond’s later activities) on everyone causing my sisters to scream at me while I cackled with laughter. Not really a joke. Just a real crystalized childhood memory that I'm sadly still kind of proud of and also still think is very funny.
Next year, the Polly Pocket movie will be a tremendous hit, break down traditional gender norms, and Austin Butler will be the only one nominated for an Oscar for playing Paul E. Pocket.
The Holdovers
A story about a group that has nowhere to go after they are abandoned in New England…the 2020 Patriots.
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
The lead role called for a “stubborn, curmudgeonly” character and Paul Giamatti just materialized on set.
To achieve Giamatti’s character Paul Hunham’s trademark lazy eye, Alexander Payne enlisted the help of Anatomy of a Fall director Justine Triet who came on set and addressed Giamatti’s right eye, saying, “Bonjour, eye! Do some work, s'il vous plaît. (Pauses for a beat.) Sacre bleu! Ze eye refuses to work. Zis is a lazy eye!”
This is the first collaboration between director Alexander Payne and actor Paul Giamatti since Sideways which now makes sense since there are various points in the film where a character, with absolutely no context or prompting, sips a glass of merlot and spits it on the ground screaming, “Merlot is the worst liquid in the universe!” But it was a bit much when the last scene of the movie was Paul Giamatti looking directly into the camera and saying, “Fuck you, merlot,” before the credits rolled.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Ernest in the Army. Ernest Scared Stupid. Ernest Goes to Jail.
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
Leonardo DiCaprio initially turned down the role when he learned that his romantic interest in the film, Mollie Kyle, was 137 years old, saying, "Maybe without the 7!"
IMDB lists this movie’s runtime in years.
Scorsese rejected composer Robbie Robertson’s first score for the film that included “‘Up on Cripple Creek…Is Where They Found Anna’s Body’”, “I Shall Be Released…Is What King Hale Tells Ernest While In Jail”, “The Weight…Of His Transgressions Caused Ernest to Testify Against His Uncle” and “Ophelia…Is Probably The Name of One of The Background Osage Women Characters, Oh Come On Marty, Just Put It In The Credits, People Love This Song”
Maestro
Seasoned musician Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) discovers-and falls in love with-struggling actress Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligaga). She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as an actress - until Leonard coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as Felicia’s career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Leonard fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons. Then, he pisses his pants at the Grammys.
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
Early critical reviews of the trailer focused on the “Anatomy of a Face”.
Just like in “A Star Is Born”, Bradley Cooper took vocal lessons to actually perform Leonard Bernstein's classic “Hallelujah”. (What’s that? There are two Jewish Leonards?)
Cooper spent nearly 45% of the film’s budget on that epic final battle scene between Bernstein and Lydia Tár.
Oppenheimer
Julius Robert Oppenheimer Schmidt! That's my name too! Whenever I got out, the people always shout, “There goes Julius Robert Oppenheimer Schmidt!” Na-na na-na na-na-na!
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
In an alternate scene, it's revealed that the exchange between Oppenheimer and Edison by the pond that caused Albert to react so sadly when walking past Robert Downey Jr. is that Oppenheimer tried to sneak a fart but then said, “Oh no. I just Oppensharted.”
Nolan took some liberties with the true story. In reality, the U.S. killed between 110,000 and 210,000 Japanese citizens…with kindness.
Since ABC does not include the Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards during the broadcast, we will not see Cillian Murphy’s acceptance speech for Best Seated Mangina.
Past Lives
This film follows the stories of the characters’ souls across time, and the stories are interwoven as they advance, showing how they all interact in their “past lives”. The film explores how people's “past lives” are connected with and influence each other and…wait a second. Nope. That’s Cloud Atlas. (Do not watch Cloud Atlas.)
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
Due to scheduling conflicts with Poor Things, Emma Stone was unable to play the female Asian lead this time.
However, in the North Korean version of the film, Kim Jong Un played the role. And all the other roles. And won all of the Oscars. Ever.
This movie is a prequel to the movie Lives.
Poor Things
From Pixar comes the story of little Sally Sangiovese, a newly bottled red Italian wine who is separated from her Sangio-family and sent to the wine cellar. There, she’ll befriend Nelson Nebbiolo, a wizened red from the Piedmont region who is coming up on 30 years in the cellar but still hasn’t gotten over the loss of his Spanish love, Tia Tempranillo, who was pulled from the cellar for a quinceañera dinner the year prior. Together, the two will hatch a plan to release themselves from the cellar to reunite Sally with her family and Nelson con su amor. Along their adventurous aging process, audiences will discover that even when the bottle appears half-empty, you simply decant dampen the spirit of these…Pour Things!
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert:
Max McCandles was actually the original name of Lumière from Beauty and the Beast.
Unfortunately this story of a British woman receiving a brain transplant isn’t about J.K. Rowling.
This is the first movie written by new AI trained only on Dr. Seuss books, Kanye West’s Twitter feed and the dreams of Gary Busey.
The Zone of Interest
Rudolf the conflicted Nazi! Had a garden full of rows! Of plants his wife liked to tend to! Horrifically juxtaposed! Then one sunny German day, Hitler came to say, “Rudolf of the triple Reich, won't you Holocaust tonight!” Then, how he wrestled with morality! As he puked and thought, “Why me?!” Rudolf the conflicted Nazi! This one’s really hard for comedy!
3 Things To Casually Inject Into Conversation To Prove You Saw The Movie And Sound Like An Expert…All Word-for-Word What Was Generated by ChatGPT:
The popularity of the film has already led to a sequel, Höss Party 2.
Probably also the title of one of the Mission Impossible movies.
I actually did watch every other movie nominated for Best Picture this year, but The Zone of Interest is the only one I did Nazi!

This... Is BGNN
Things you might want to know, for Mar 17, 2023:
Tumblr media
How ‘Spring Breakers’ Forecast the Next Decade of American Chaos — It’s a ridiculous fever-dream of a movie, with a ridiculous James Franco performance bubbling and spewing within it, but like its girls and their guns, it pops.
Ozempic is a game-changer. Here’s how it works. — I’ve read about a lot of “game changers” in my lifetime, and very few have been able to justify the hype. But every once in a while…
This 'Half-Life: Alyx' Mod Brings a Slice of Valve-level Action, Created by Annapurna Developer — I’d love to revisit Alyx, but I have neither the PC nor the floor space to even consider it at this point. So I live vicariously through screenshots and demo videos.
What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Be a Gen X Girl — Heh.
Steven Spielberg and John Williams on how music became an actor in Jaws and Close Encounters | Boing Boing — I don’t know how to rank Williams as a composer, but as an artist bringing something distinct and meaningful to a film’s narrative, he’s in a class of his own.
Tumblr media
The History of Rock: One Riff Per Year, From 1965 to 2022 — I don’t agree with all the inclusions, but there’s some quality stuff here.
He'll Be Back: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Last Act — I hope the old fucker enjoys the hell out of his final laps around Hollywood’s track… he’s been a fixture in my life since I was a kid, and while I haven’t always been a fan, I can’t help but like him.
Danse Exquise is an animation that evokes the feeling of being inside a kaleidoscope
'Everything Everywhere' Stars Reunite in 'American Born Chinese' Teaser — The world needs more Michelle Yeoh.
‘My AI Is Sexually Harassing Me’: Replika Users Say the Chatbot Has Gotten Way Too Horny — I haven’t dug into this Replika thing yet, but I loved the headline.
Tumblr media
What were the first fighting games like? — There were two kinds of people in mid-‘80s arcades: Karate Champ people, and Kung Fu Master people. I was decidedly the latter, as was my best friend, who blew $200 one summer completely, well, mastering KFM. By the fall, he could play for an hour on a single quarter, and naturally, no longer had any interest in it.
Micky Dolenz Will Not Let the Monkees Die — I’ve only watched a half-dozen or so episodes of the show and a documentary or two. But when I was 19, I was in love with a girl who thought The Monkees were the greatest band in the history of everything… so y’know what, Micky? Keep going, dude. You’re making someone out there happy.
This Is a Philosopher on Drugs
Make ChatGPT Work for You With These Browser Extensions — Fuck the browser extensions… if you have an Apple Watch, just snag a copy of Petey, a ChatGPT app/complication that puts all that textual utility on your wrist where it belongs. It won’t control your lights or dial your phone like Siri, but for quick access to information, it’s infinitely superior.
After 'The Last of Us,' Everything Will Be Transmedia — I don’t think TLOU is actually as big a milestone as the title suggests, but still… cross-medium storytelling and reimagination is going to be a huge part of the future.
A Face Recognition Site Crawled the Web for Dead People’s Photos — We are all going to regret every single photo we’ve ever posted online.
r/Android - Samsung "space zoom" moon shots are fake, and here is the proof — Samsung? Full of shit?! I am shocked…!
The Demise of Silicon Valley Bank — A nice little explainer, walking you through the bad decisions and hubris that led to the bank’s collapse.

The Mothers’ next album is a big one, and their last as a going band. FZ wanted the band to make a movie called Uncle Meat, and they spent a long time on the film and its soundtrack. By the time the album came out, Zappa knew he wouldn’t be finishing the movie—the liner notes call this album a soundtrack to a film you’ll probably never see. A sortof version of the Uncle Meat film was finally released in the ‘80s, but I have not heard good things. It was cobbled together from the original video shot by the Mothers in the late ‘60s and new material from the ‘80s, and does not cohere into a vision of what the original might have looked like if finished. That’s what I’ve heard—I’ve never attempted to watch it. 200 Motels was bad enough, and he finished that one. Zappa is one of my favorite composers of all time, and a lousy storyteller (I feel this way about his rock operas too).
In keeping with this dichotomy, this “soundtrack” is one of Zappa’s greatest achievements. It can be a bit of a mess—you can hear the stresses forming that will soon cause Zappa to dissolve the Mothers entirely. The most obvious sign is the skit “If We’d All Been Living in California,” which is just a candid recording of Jimmy Carl Black arguing with FZ about not making any money. It’s actually fairly painful to listen to. But this album is the furthest out into jazz/classical fusion that the original Mothers will venture. The title track and Dog Breath have long afterlives as live showpieces for just about every subsequent Zappa band, there’s some warped, surrealist doo wop that could never have been on Ruben & the Jets, and all of side 4 is devoted to King Kong, one of Zappa’s finest compositions to date.
After this album, Zappa called a meeting and abruptly, unilaterally dissolved the Mothers of Invention. The rest of the band were furious—they thought of it as a BAND, but FZ thought of them as his employees. He thought that touring with so many musicians was becoming too costly, especially since a number of them couldn’t play his compositions to his satisfaction: he’d augmented Jimmy Carl Black with the much more technically proficient Art Tripp on drums, for instance, and figured it would be better if he could just start over with the right musicians rather than having to drag along the guys he’d started with. It was cold, heartless logic, very in keeping with Zappa’s character. The band was right to be angry, but though he could have handled it better (and maybe NOT claimed sole composer credit for pieces entirely improvised by other members of the band, for instance), Zappa was right that it was time for him to move on. The original Mothers represent a great era, but he was composing music far beyond their greasy, home-brewed R&B roots.
If you stream Uncle Meat or get the CD, make sure to skip the penalty tracks. There are three “bonus tracks,” bizarrely placed between sides 3 and 4, that come from the ‘80s movie and are nigh-unlistenable. For years I ignored disc 2 entirely because of them, meaning I missed out on King Kong!
My copy of the vinyl is the modern re-issue. I bought it before I had succeeded in finding many FZ records on original vinyl—Michael Bremer praised the sound quality of the pressing, and that was enough for me. Still is, since I haven’t replaced it. Still, I’d like to get a copy with the Bizarre labels, since this was the first album issued with them. Zappa left Verve after Mothermania and got a distribution deal with Reprise to run Bizarre as a full label. In this era he also put out a slew of releases by other artists on Bizarre and its sister label Straight, most notably his high school friend Captain Beefheart and the early works of Alice Cooper.

daydream | chapter one
next chapter
pairing: armin arlert x reader
themes: college/modern au, slowburn, friends to lovers, mutual pining, fluff, smut
tw: recreational drug use, drinking, explicit sexual content
word count: 1705
The clock was obnoxiously loud with its endless ticking as you struggled to answer yet another dreaded short response prompt, your eyes threatening to trail over to the paper next to yours. You cursed your professor in your head, wondering who had the audacity to dub them "short answer" when answering every nit-picking facet of the question required at least a page-long essay to respond to the prompt in its entirety. The pen would soon break through the paper with how aggressively you were pushing it down. Against your better judgement, you allowed yourself to glance at your friend's paper. All you were able to read was the scrawled cursive "Armin Arlert" at the top before it was pulled from the table and started its journey to the professor's desk. Armin shot you a side eye as he threw his bag over his shoulder, and you returned a feigned apologetic grin. You watched as he waltzed confidently to the front of the room. Everything was so easy for him.
You sighed as he laid his paper on Professor Hange's desk and left. You knew he'd be outside waiting on the bench by the sidewalk when you finally finished; it was looking like he would be there for at least an hour. You tried to focus. What exactly had you learned so far in Biology 220? As far as you knew, the answer was absolutely nothing. After another while of pretending to think while actually berating yourself internally for your lack of studying, you did what you do best: you wrote down 200 words of absolute bullshit and hoped for a passing grade. It had put you through a year and a half of school -- you hoped it wouldn't fail you now.
It made sense for Armin to do well. After all, he was a biology major on the premed track. You, on the other hand, chose English on the form last minute in order to take the least amount of science and math possible. Learning that general education required sequences instead of singular courses had smacked you in the mouth. You erased the last word and fixed your handwriting three times before you finally decided you were finished, taking the paper up front to join Armin's and relishing in the sunlight hitting your face as you left the building.
"How'd you do?" Armin asked sweetly, perched on the nearest of many walkway-side benches along the campus. You saw a coffee in his hand. As you got closer, you noticed one for you sitting next to him. You smiled.
"I honestly think I did fucking awful. I haven't retained anything from Hange's class at all. She's not even a bad teacher -- I think it just isn't for me," you answered, taking a seat and lifting the coffee to your lips. It was your favorite.
He sighed, rubbing the back of his head. He'd had a haircut only the day before; he always toyed with the prickly hair on the back of his neck for the first few days after one. You wondered if he'd ever get used to having his hair shorter. "I've offered to help you, you know. I always say I'll start studying with you, and you always say we will. Then I end up studying while you lay there on your phone halfway listening."
"Well, midterms are over now. Maybe I'll let you teach me a thing or two before finals. What's important is that spring break starts now." For a moment you could see yourself and Armin laid out on the beach, sun soaking into your skin with the soft crashing of waves present only a few yards away; that was the definition of heaven. You saw Armin grin as he started to pull his bag over his shoulder in preparation for your walk to his dorm. A common misconception about your friend was that he was a stick in the mud; however, this was decidedly the furthest thing from the truth. Although he was perfect academically -- 4.0 GPA, active in student organizations, one of the way-too-happy people that shows the freshmen around campus each year -- he knew how to have a good time. Perhaps it was years of corruption from you and your other friends (Eren and Jean, in particular), but outside of a god-awful science class, he was easily your favorite person to be around.
The two of you walked side by side across campus, chatting idly about the party you both planned to attend that night and the long drive that awaited you come morning. It was the perfect weather out, a sunny and comfortable 70 degrees. Armin was dressed in an old-looking T-shirt advertising some bedroom pop artist you were unfamiliar with, making it more than noticeable how much he had filled out since he bought it. Khaki shorts hung a few inches above his knees. You had to look up at him when you spoke, quite the contrast to the many years your friendship spanned before. His eyes, though, were still the same blue, and that was unlikely to change.
When you arrived at his building, you trudged up the stairs behind him, grateful you would soon be able to sit down. Walking everywhere was not your favorite activity, but the campus was quite small, and driving would be overkill. You waltzed into the room as you did nearly every day, throwing a hand up to greet Eren. He had his arm thrown lazily around a girl you didn't recognize, his half-up half-down hair falling in his face as he nodded back at you with a smile, eyes half-open and glossy red.
You practically threw yourself into Armin's bed, which was neatly made aside from the plush blue blanket that laid across the yellow duvet. You were quickly underneath it, making short work toward comfort as you nuzzled into a pillow. Armin took the time to put his things away and change into loose-fitting charcoal sweatpants before taking a seat at your side, fiddling with a time-passing puzzle game on his phone.
"I think we should just stay in instead of going to the party and taking that trip. I'm pretty comfortable, and I have plenty of sleep to catch up on," you told him, the joke barely present in your voice. He chuckled, leaning back across your legs onto the wall behind him.
"You're required to come to the party," Eren called over to you, taking his lips away from the nameless girl's neck. "We promised Jean. And you're required to come on the trip, because we can't afford the Airbnb without your charitable contribution."
"Besides," Armin chimed in, looking over at you, "you were lucky your request off got approved. Think of the poor souls that are stuck behind the register at Barnes and Noble this week. They wouldn't want you to use their vacation in vain."
"When you put it that way. . ." you laughed, checking the time on your phone. "What time did Jean tell us to come?"
"Nine," Armin responded quickly, switching from his game to Twitter. It was only 4:06, according to the white numbers above the picture of you and Armin at your high school graduation. You had quite a bit of time to kill.
"Want to watch a movie?" you asked the blond boy at your side. You were already holding the Xbox controller before he could reply. You got on Disney+, arguably your favorite part of being in Armin's dorm, then tossed the controller toward him to choose. He chose, as he always did, some superhero movie that you would pretend to hate and secretly love. He looked over at you and grinned wide, pressing play.
As the opening sequence rolled, you figured it wasn't the worst way to waste time.
---
The party was lame in the best way. Of course, no one outside of the typical circle had shown -- Connie and Sasha, Marco, the current girl hanging from Eren's hip (Ellie, maybe?), Ymir and Historia, and Eren's sister, Mikasa. Or, at least, he called her his sister. She was adopted -- and desperately in love with him -- and you wished he would avoid calling her that for the sake of saving face. Watching her sit angrily next to him while he toyed with the girl's hair was almost as awkward as the way Jean sat next to Mikasa, beer in his hand and flirting without shame. Connie, Sasha, and Ymir spent nearly the entire party trying to convince Historia and Marco to try smoking on Connie's new bong. Between all of these preoccupied people, you and Armin were left sharing a recliner, passing a blunt back and forth and discussing the plans for tomorrow.
Jean's apartment was trashed in the way a 19-year-old boy's would typically be, soda and beer cans lining the tables and clearly visible dust on his furniture. If you squinted, you'd see he was using his U.S. History textbook as a rolling tray. Professor Erwin would be disappointed.
Your thoughts had begun to become fuzzier and fuzzier. You could tell Armin was feeling the same by the way he giggled uncontrollably at a stupid joke Connie made across the room, causing you to chuckle. He was pretty when he laughed, white teeth poking past his lips as his clear blue eyes squinted into almost nothing. It didn't help that they were already half-closed, pink and red lining his blue irises. You and Armin were social smokers, and drinkers, and what came with that was the unfortunate fact that you were both very lightweight.
You listened absentmindedly to the soft R&B Jean was playing, obnoxiously enough, from Pandora on his TV. Every time an ad played, you died a little inside. You found yourself thanking those that didn't come tonight. Eventually, when you were all in some way intoxicated, you all gathered to watch a movie. You had never heard of it, but Jean and Eren were big fans, which meant it was likely some action film with a bit of plot if you squinted at it.
Before the title screen, you had your head laid on Armin's shoulder, gently drifting to sleep.
This was peace.

Where do you reccomend to pirate sailor moon? You've made me wanna watch ^^
Oh my oh my! This is a very no-no question!
Tumblr media
Honestly, I am obligated to say that all 5 seasons have been released on DVD and Blu Ray and are easy to find on Amazon etc etc and that doesn’t help people like me where amazon doesn’t deliver!
You can also IN THEORY watch them on the VIZ website? But again that’s not something I can access from my country!!!
https://www.viz.com/sailor-moon
There’s probably also an official youtube channel where you can legally watch the episodes or something I don’t fukken know because apparently I’m not allowed to do things legally.
SO! Other places you can watch Sailor Moon if you live in an ass-crack country like me and literally cannot access it legally despite being willing to u_u
Tumblr media
For the 90s anime!
Tumblr media
This is the most iconic of the Sailor Moon media! And the one most people know and are familiar with. It’s usually the first thing people think of when they think of “Sailor Moon”. There’s 200 episodes spread across 5 seasons (the first season, R,S, Super S, and Sailor Stars)
This site has all episodes both dubbed and if you scroll down a little you get the subbed versions as well.
DO NOT WATCH THE DUB!!! This is the original 90s dub and it’s.... not good....
Tumblr media
https://sailormoonepisodes.com/
as well as
https://gogoanime.so//search.html?keyword=Sailor%20Moon
You can also find torrents of the show. I haven’t updated my files in a long time but there’s probably been a Blu Ray version uploaded somewhere. I recommend checking Nyaatorrent
For the movies!
Tumblr media
If you want to starts with the 3 movies instead just to see if you’d like the show, none of them are as good as the show but it’s how I first got into the whole thing so they can’t be THAT bad! The first one is the most iconic but the second movie (S) is probably acknowledged as the best of the three. They’re kind of disconnected from the show so you need to know very little going in and it doesn’t spoil anything in the show itself nor do you need to watch the movies to watch the show.
You can find the movies subbed here
https://gogoanime.so//search.html?keyword=Sailor%20Moon%20movie
For the manga!
Tumblr media
The source material that most adaptations are based on (although most modern versions tend to rely a little more on the 90s anime as... let’s be honest... the anime had much better ideas in a lot of places) There are several places where you can find the manga, however, unlike a mass manga website, I recommend a Sailor Moon specific site which will have given much more care to the translation of the material.
The best place I’ve found is the ever reliable Miss Dream
https://missdream.org/sailor-moon-scanlations/sailor-moon-manga-scanlations/
For the Live action series! (PGSM)
Tumblr media
I was a fool for ever thinking the live action series would be bad just because the effects are terrible and the CG is laughable and they made Luna a plushie. It’s turning out to be a GREAT version of the story! I wouldn’t start with this one at all, but I really do HIGHLY recommend checking it out because it’s writing and characters are far better than they have any right to be in all honesty.
PGSM has never seen an official translation.
You can find fan subbed episodes at both Miss Dream as well as Sea of Serenity. They have different translated versions of the show so you can pick which one you like. (I’m watching the Miss Dream subs but I’m following a blog whose watching the Sea of Serenity subs and both are good)
https://seaofserenity.net/drama/downloads/
https://missdream.org/fansubs/pretty-guardian-sailor-moon/
For the Crystal Reboot!
Tumblr media
I actually don’t recommend this one, but I’m gonna mention it anyway because it DOES have its fans. (but again... I... I don’t recommend this one at all X’D)
It’s only done the first 3 seasons of the story and honestly only season 3 is considered passable to me. Season 4 is gonna be released next year as a movie (or 2 movies? It’s unclear).
The reboot was supposed to be a manga-accurate adaptation rather than the 90s show which did a lot of its own thing (for better and worse). However, poor animation quality, weird changes to the story, and making the girls lose a lot of their personality and turning Usagi into someone who is more a damsel in distress than anything, it’s not a great version of the story. I’m only mentioning it out of obligation tbh.
Although apparently Season 3 isn’t so bad. But still :/
You can watch the official release on Crunchyroll
https://www.crunchyroll.com/sailor-moon-crystal
You can also find subbed episodes at the bottom of
https://sailormoonepisodes.com/
as well as
https://gogoanime.so//search.html?keyword=Sailor%20Moon
For the Stage Musicals! (Sera Myu)
Tumblr media
The Stage Musicals are a funny thing, being not canon to any of the other versions. Sometimes they tell stories from specific arcs in the manga, sometimes they tell story that don’t feature anywhere else, sometimes they’re about the Sailor Senshi fighting Dracula and Adam’s first wife Lilith who want to turn the world into vampires. Dude I don’t even know XD
I wouldn’t recommend starting here either, as these are more like fun bonus content than anything else.
HOWEVER, the Musicals have something that none of the other versions had, which is “La Soldier” which all Sailor Moon fans are required by law to lose their shit over.
(La Soldier is BRIEFLY in the anime but it was not used to its full potential)
youtube
I don’t know if they newer musicals still use La Soldier tho.
You can find fansubbed versions of the Sera Myu shows at Miss Dream
https://missdream.org/fansubs/sera-myu-fansubs/
And Sea of Serentiy
https://seaofserenity.net/
Sea of Serentiy has the more detailed break down of the musicals by year, distributor, and theater/idol group.
I am the least knowledgeable about Sera Myu so I’ll have to leave that over to them. Little to no Sera Myu shows have been released with official subs.
-
There is also the ice show but that’s been delayed to next year because of the... troubles.
And there’s a bunch of other stuff too like the SNES game and drama CDs and stuff but I think that starts getting off topic.
I know this is a super long explanation to a simple question but I wanted to be thorough because although the 90s anime is generally the go-to, there are people who prefer other versions more.

200 MOVIES IN 2020, #12
Tumblr media
birds of prey (and the fantabulous emancipation of one harley quinn). because yesterday i fiiiiiiiinally saw this movie and i loved it more than i even thought was possible. 
this review is gonna be longer than usual, because @actuallylukedanes​ reads my reviews and there are specific details I’m including just for them. so the rest is going behind a cut. :)
i don’t even know where to start, to be honest, so let’s begin with the simplest part. THE! SOUNDTRACK! it is all over the place and yet manages to form a coherent vibe. it’s fun and sultry and epic and angry and i’ve already added it to my spotify.
one of my absolute favorite music highlights?? a fight scene to barracuda by heart. they gave me what i didn’t even know i needed in my life. amazing.
the first thing that absolutely stunned me about this movie was the fight scenes. the stuntwork is incredible. i don’t even like action movies or most fight scenes and i loved these. the choreography is graceful and interesting and artistic and fun to watch, i enjoyed it so much–it’s like the people making this movie thought specifically about what they could do because they were featuring a cast of badass female characters and played to that, maximizing the potential of it. talented stuntwomen expanded the range of what i’m used to seeing in action movies, and now i’m questioning everything. maybe i don’t actually hate fight scenes and find them tedious. maybe i just haven’t seen very many good fight scenes! because i legitimately can’t wait to watch these all over again. this is officially my favorite action movie when i doubt i’ve ever had one before.
the gay energy in this movie is huge. everyone is gay here! the heroes! the villains! the big bad’s wardrobe is gorgeously flashy and his henchman is devoted to him in a way that is far beyond the professional. renee is literally gay, but the rest of the women are also just all different kinds of gifts to the queer community, i swear. i can’t coherently put my finger on why (the motorcycle and crossbow? the roller derby? the hostile nightclub singing?), but it’s there.
i heard a lot about how different the costuming/framing was for harley in this movie because of the female director, how it lacked the male gaze we’re used to, but i was still surprised to see the difference everywhere. at one point inside a building harley sets off sprinklers–but even when she walks through them, gets soaked and has to fight under them, it’s so not pornographic. watching that, i had an intense lightbulb moment of ‘oh so this is what that could be like’ and fell in love with cathy yan.
they also made such cool creative choices, like harley pulling out a gun at one point and then firing glitter and colors instead of bullets. it fits her character, it’s unexpected, and it’s just more fun.
there are time jumps and flashbacks in the movie, it moves around quite a bit in the beginning as it’s establishing who everyone is. BUT it explains the jumps through both the narration and through actual time stamps onscreen, so it’s way more understandable.
harley is a real antihero--unbalanced, not the best person ever--but in her own weird way, the true loves of her life appear to be food and her beloved adopted pet. which is very relatable.
and you know what else i loved? the women genuinely praising each other for their skills. little comments in random moments where they appreciate each other. because that’s what we deserve, gosh darn it. more women supporting and liking each other even when they don’t know each other well. 
speaking of the women, this girl gang may center harley quinn, but it’s made up of three women of color and two white women, and it doesn’t shove the women of color into the background or put less effort into them. all the women are complex, more than one thing, even contradictory. they get to be human. it’s awesome.
and in contrast to that, in this movie, men really ARE the evil! the villain is a white guy, his second in command is a white guy, and the big battle is literally these five women up against an army of terrible men. just men. the fact that we get to root for them and watch them kick ass under those conditions is really cool. (and as far as i could tell, it’s true for the rest of the movie too--in close combat, the women only fight men. everywhere that they meet bad guys, they’re, well, guys.)
did i mention the roller derby?? it’s not the point of the movie or anything, but i loved that they included it and worked it into action scenes sometimes. 
two more refreshing things: the villain isn’t treated with mixed signals. it’s always clear that the movie sees him as the bad guy, and he doesn’t get hints of ‘oh but also the actor’s cute so we’re going to give him extra attention.’ it doesn’t even matter that he’s played by the effortlessly charismatic ewan mcgregor…he was a horribly evil person with no respect for women, and as soon as he’s defeated everyone moves on with their day. i’m still not used to how they did that. the world just literally moves on like he didn’t matter, which is the ultimately fitting payback for how full of himself he was.
and, it doesn’t do that thing where if the hero is a woman, she can only win the final battle after first being broken down nearly beyond repair. bleeding, sobbing, prone on the ground so she can rise up slowly and prove the villain wrong... instead the stars of this movie are allowed to be fully fierce, without needing to also show weakness so they won’t be ‘too much.’ they hold their own, almost all the time, just like you expect from action movies with unrealistically badass men.
when it comes to downsides, the violence and death to me didn’t seem much more gruesome than what you’d see in other comic book movies or a crime procedural. it’s rated r i guess, but since i watched both the deadpools, this one just didn’t seem very shocking. i’m not sure how good a gauge i am for that.  there’s one throwing up moment, which i still hate, but it happens early and is thankfully very brief. the two most uncomfortable moments that move toward a sexual assault place are also not as extreme as I worried they would be. 
it is definitely zany. it decides exactly how to represent the fantabulous madness of harley quinn and i’m sure that’s not everybody’s idea of fun, but i didn’t think it was stupid-funny or gross. my only complaint is that i can’t own it on bluray yet.

Hi folks!
So first, no my hiatus is not over. I’m not returning fully until, as I said before, probably in the Fall. It all depends on how much the world hasn’t pissed me off and I need to keep off to not worsen my anxiety/exacerbate the negative. However, a big benefit in the break is I’ve had more time to focus and plan out actual content I want to make. Some I’ve wanted to do for years now and just... never did.
So I have a multitude of projects I want to do, some being my usual stuff, some I’ve discussed before, and some that are all new. As always, this can always change, but I want the second half of my 2020 to have SOME positive benefit to compensate for the first half, so focusing on these I think will do that.
So here are my plans:
RvB Season 18/RWBY Volume 8 Reviews: These are 100% certain. I’ve taken a break from RT content lately, but these two I absolutely plan to watch and continue my reviews. As far as I know RvB’s airdate is still up in the air, but I’m aware of some of the recent info (certain cast and crew members, new characters, etc) and I’m excited! Not sure if RWBY8 has had any new developments or how COVID will affect it’s release, but I’ll accept it for the end of the year. The format I used for the RWBY7 reviews will be used for both, and hopefully with continued improvements. So even if all my other plans go down the drain, these are locked in.
RWBY Character Review/Analysis: The big thing I was planning prior to the hiatus. I have been working on them, and I feel I’m ready to start writing the posts. For now, I am keeping the focus on Team RWBY and depending on how those go, I may do more characters down the line. Still deciding on the order, but this will be something I hope to get underway weekly in July. Which I hope to soon be able to follow with...
RWBY Volume 1-4 Reviews (and MAYBE 5): I mentioned considering it before, and I think I’m ready to take it. I began reviewing when V5 was airing, and my interest in RWBY was mostly casual until about V4. So the first four volumes I never reviewed, so let's change that. The format would be slightly different as I’d bunch the episodes into arcs instead of going episode by episode (though V4’s will be different due to that season’s style). Also I may or may not do V5, which would follow the same arc structure, as a redo of my old reviews and I never made an overall review due to the negativity towards it at the time killing my interest. Regardless, 1-4 will happen and will too be on a weekly basis. I’ll assess V5 once I finish the other volumes and see how I feel about it. Pretty happy with my Volume 6 and 7 reviews still, so those are being left alone.
RvB Fanfiction: I haven’t forgotten about Griferella or my BTHB prompts. I actually have one BTHB prompt plotted out, and I am going to attempt to write/post it soon. That will hopefully reignite the motivation to resume writing. I have no real excuse for not doing it aside from dwindeling motivation due to... well, everything. But that’s no excuse, and this will be a top priority no matter if I hate the final result or not.
Now we get to the one's I’m not for sure about, but will probably do at some point:
RvB Likes/Dislikes Posts/Reviews/Character Analysis: In other words, all my RvB content aside from the main reviews and fanfic stuff. So the Likes/Dislikes posts stopped after S2 for a multitude of reasons, and right now IDK when I’ll resume. I really need to get back into a certain mindset for them. And reviews of past seasons and character stuff like I’m doing with RWBY I’ll likely cover when RWBY stuff is done to not overwhelm myself.
Disney Princess Reviews/Analysis: Yep, I still want to do this. And since I have Disney+ and access to all the films, I have no excuse to not do so. The biggest thing is these will require a LOT of research, especially the Classic Three since I need to research feminism/history stuff during the time those came out. As such, these would be on most likely, a monthly release schedule. But I’m growing more and more willing to attempt this, so you never know...
Sailor Moon Reviews: During my hiatus, I finally took the time watch the Viz dub of Sailor Moon (except Stars cause they haven’t posted it onto streaming yet, UGH!). I loved it! But... Well now that I’m an adult and not a little kid who just watched to see Sailor Moon kill the villain, I have a LOT more critical opinions about both the 90’s anime and Crystal. So much so that I want to do a new series reviewing both animes. The main issue is figuring out a format since... well, 90’s Moon is 200 episodes long. Many of which are filler. So IDK if I want to just go ahead and do them all one by one, or group a certain amount together and review it that way. I’ll have to ponder on it. Sailor Moon is a HUGE part of my childhood, one of my biggest influences, and is pretty much my gateway into both anime and into fandom life. If I do this, I want to do it well. Release schedule will depend on the format I go with. It will be reviewing the Viz dub, NOT the original Japanese not the old Dic/Cloverway dub. I want to do the movies too, R especially... but they aren’t available for streaming, so I’ll have to figure that out.
So yeah, a lot of plans! As I said though, these will all likely fall onto a weekly basis. As I’m not off hiatus, my usual reblog sprees won't be as frequent, but when I come on to queue the reviews, I may go through some tags and queue some stuff up so it’s not 100% dead. Ask Box is still closed for now, but I’ll probably turn it back on for a day or two when I post something. I’m hoping that these projects will keep the blog active even when I’m not around. Again, thank you all for your patience with me, and I hope that you will enjoy whatever I bring forth soon~
And again to make up for things, here’s a doggie~ love you all~!

Sonic Vs Harley: Send In The Hedgehogs - Quill’s Scribbles
Tumblr media
Unless you’ve been meditating in the desert for the past couple of weeks, you’ll know that there’s a bloody epidemic going on in the world right now. The coronavirus outbreak has dramatically changed our very way of life for the foreseeable future, and us plebs have been having to get used to all these alien concepts such as social distancing, self isolation, vaccines being good and Gal Gadot murdering John Lennon with a tuneless rendition of ‘Imagine.’ These are scary and uncertain times we live in, and this goes double for the movie industry as productions are halted and/or delayed, and cinemas around the globe are shutting shop. This means that streaming services, initially dismissed by pompous filmmakers like Steven Spielberg as being lesser than cinema, has now become Hollywood’s saving grace. Oh the irony!
But I’m not here to talk about that. Today I’m here to talk about how a blue CGI hedgehog seems to be more profitable than Margot Robbie.
Jokes aside, this is actually a fascinating topic of discussion in my opinion. Both Sonic The Hedgehog and Birds Of Prey (I categorically refuse to type the whole title because I’ve got better shit to be doing other than trying to remember how the fuck you spell ‘fantabulous’) were released within a week of each other just as the coronavirus outbreak was gathering steam, and yet the box office earnings of both films are poles apart. Sonic has now become the highest grossing video game movie of all time and is, at the time I’m typing this, the second highest grossing film of the year, beating even Disney Pixar’s new film Onward if you can believe it, whereas Birds Of Prey... well... it’s not exactly flopped as such. The film’s low budget protected it from that, but it’s hardly what you’d call a success, making just shy of the $200 million it would need to break even. How did this happen? Especially when you consider that public opinion of both films a year ago would have you believe that the opposite would have happened. Everyone was massively excited for Birds Of Prey, especially after the string of successes DC have had with Aquaman, Shazam and most recently Joker, whereas Sonic...
Tumblr media
...yeah, lets not talk about that.
Now before we start, let me just make absolutely clear that this is just my opinion. Mu subjective opinion. Normally I’d expect my readers to be smart enough to know this, but I’m talking about a DC movie here and I know from personal experience how ‘passionate’ a certain tin foil hat wearing portion of that fanbase can be sometimes. You may recall back in 2016 I received rape and death threats when I had the gall to say that I didn’t enjoy watching Suicide Squad. You know? That beloved classic that nobody fucking remembers or talks about anymore? Also there was that time when Harley Quinn fans started spreading fake rumours that the Sonic movie was homophobic in the hopes of salvaging Birds Of Prey’s box office earnings. And yes, I know it’s not all DCEU fans that are like this, etc. etc., but considering that it only ever seems to be DC fans that pull shit like this, you’ll forgive me if I’m not exactly in a very generous mood right now. Basically, if you’ve seen Birds Of Prey and liked it, that’s great. More power to you. I’m not even suggesting that Birds Of Prey is a bad movie. I’m just exploring the reasons why I think the film may have underperformed and why, possibly, Sonic The Hedgehog overtook them despite outside circumstances. This is not fact. This is just my opinion. It’s my opinion. An opinion. A subjective opinion. It’s my opinion. Okay? Okay.
Also I should point out that out of the two films, I’ve only seen Sonic, not Birds Of Prey. Believe it or not, this will be relevant later on. Again, this is not about the quality of either film. This is merely my subjective observations regarding their respective marketing and box office performance.
Tumblr media
So why, according to the fans and the media, did Birds Of Prey underperform at the box office? There are three popular reasons for this. The first is obviously the coronavirus. Less people willing to leave the house and buy a ticket, therefore less box office earnings. Makes sense, but I don’t think that’s the whole story. Lets not forget, Sonic The Hedgehog came out a week after Birds Of Prey and practically steamrolled over the competition despite coronavirus fears. So I’m not entirely convinced of this. The second reason is that Birds Of Prey only has niche appeal because it’s based on a lesser known comic book property. Again, makes sense, but so was Guardians Of The Galaxy and Deadpool, and they were both hugely successful. Obviously I’m not saying Birds Of Prey needed to be as big as those movies. Even if it just made the same amount of money as Shazam did, it would have been successful, but it didn’t. The third reason is good old fashioned sexism, and yes, I agree that may have been a contributing factor, but I think it’s naive to place all the blame on the anti-SJWs who feel threatened by a gang of women kicking butt. Look at the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters for example. That film received a tirade of misogynistic comments from butthurt fanboys, but it still made roughly the same amount of money at the box office as the original Ghostbusters did. The reason it flopped wasn’t because of the fanboys, but because of Sony spending a stupid amount of money on the thing in the hopes of jumpstarting a shared universe. If Ghostbusters 2016 had the same budget as Birds Of Prey, Sony would be laughing their way to the bank right now.
No I think there’s a little bit more going on here. Lets bring Sonic into the discussion and explore it, shall we?
Tumblr media
The most blatantly obvious reason for Sonic’s success and Birds Of Prey’s relative failure is the age rating. Sonic is a PG, family friendly film with a cuddly animal as its main character. The film even stars Jim Carrey being his usual goofy self. Kids love this shit and parents will no doubt be prepared to risk a zombie apocalypse to let their kids see it. Birds Of Prey, on the other hand, is a hard R. Strong bloody violence, sexual references, everyone says ‘fuck’ a lot. No kids allowed. Of course that hasn’t stopped films like Deadpool or Joker being such giant hits, but they didn’t have to contend with a global pandemic. Plus, according to what I’ve heard from certain critics, apparently Birds Of Prey’s R rating doesn’t seem wholly justified. That if you were to cut back on the swearing and the gore, it would make no difference to the film. Now you see this is something I’ve been afraid would happen ever since Deadpool’s surprise success back in 2016. That studios and filmmakers would take the wrong lessons from it and make their films R rated just for the sake of making them R rated. We see this with movie studios all the time. One studio finds success and suddenly everyone tries to copy it without considering why it was successful in the first place. The reason Deadpool as well as other R rated films like Logan and Joker worked is because the films justified their R ratings. You couldn’t have told the same story without that R rating. An R rated Harley Quinn doesn’t seem necessary, especially when you consider that there have been Harley Quinn adaptations before that did just as well without being strictly for adults. Hell, the original Harley Quinn story from the Batman animated series was PG rated. So the inclusion of a R rating feels less like a genuine artistic choice and more like trend chasing. And now that Joker has become the most profitable comic book movie ever made, I fear this is only going to get worse in the future.
Another factor that needs to be considered is audiences’ trust and expectation. Sonic The Hedgehog’s journey to the big screen has in some ways become the classic redemption story. After the initial reveal of Sonic the Manhog, fans were understandably pissed off that a beloved video game icon was given such a grotesque re-imagining for the sake of ‘realism’ (snort). As a result of the backlash, the director Jeff Fowler announced they would revise the design and the film was postponed for three months in order to fix it. The result was a Sonic design much closer to the games and this generated a lot of goodwill from the fans. Subsequent trailers were much better received and there was a lot more positive buzz around the movie. Birds Of Prey on the other hand demonstrated the inverse of this. Everyone was hugely excited, but as we got closer and closer to the date of release, audience anticipation began to wane. The trailers received little fanfare. In fact a lot of people were largely unimpressed by it. Why?
Well first we should address the elephant in the room. The fact of the matter is Sonic has a bigger and much more passionate fanbase than Harley does. That’s not to say Harley isn’t a popular character. She is. But I think Warner Bros and DC seriously overestimated how much people wanted to see Harley Quinn get her own movie. She may have been the best thing about Suicide Squad, but considering what a total trainwreck Suicide Squad was, that’s hardly saying much, is it? I mean the villain Sandman was the best thing about Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. That doesn’t mean I want a whole movie based on him. It just means out of all the things I hated about Spider-Man 3, Sandman was the thing I hated least.
Tumblr media
And that’s another thing. The fact that Birds Of Prey didn’t try to distance themselves from Suicide Squad I don’t think did them any favours. While Suicide Squad was a commercial success at the time, people haven’t exactly been kind to the film in subsequent years. I mean feel free to read my review of Suicide Squad for an exhaustive list of reasons why the film was less than enjoyable to sit through. One dimensional characters, poor editing, ugly colour palette, casual sexism, David Ayer trying desperately to look cool and edgy, I could go on. So when the first trailers for Birds Of Prey came out and we saw the neon colour scheme and Hot Topic wardrobes make a comeback, I can’t have been the only one who was slightly put off.
Which leads me to the biggest issue of all and that’s the stonking unoriginality of the whole thing. For all their boasting about how feminist and progressive they are, what is it about Birds Of Prey that makes it stand out from other comic book films? Granted Sonic wasn’t wholly original either, but at least they had the novelty of a blue CGI hedgehog to piggyback off of. Birds Of Prey really doesn’t have anything if you think about it. Here’s the impression I got from the trailers. It has the same aesthetics as Suicide Squad, so already I’m getting PTS style flashbacks, and its story doesn’t seem all that intriguing or unique. Think about it. A violent anti-hero has to protect a delinquent child from some sadistic big baddie. How many times have we seen that done in these films? Terminator 2, Deadpool 2, Logan, even Ghost Rider has told this story before. The fact that the characters in question happen to be women doesn’t change a damn thing. They even have Harley Quinn breaking the fourth wall. Like... guys, come on! Surely we can do something more original than this! It feels like the only thing Birds Of Prey has going for it is that its main protagonists are all women. But after the likes of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, that’s no longer a real selling point anymore. You need something else to entice people. Something that Birds Of Prey sorely lacks.
Tumblr media
Now I’m sure any Birds Of Prey fans reading this must be getting pissed off at me, so I’d just like to remind everyone yet again that I’m not necessarily saying Birds Of Prey is a bad film. I wouldn’t know. I haven’t seen it. And that’s kind of my point. A week or so ago, my friend and I knew this was probably going to be our last opportunity to go to the cinema for quite some time, so we knew we had to make our choice of film count. We had a choice between Sonic The Hedgehog and Birds Of Prey, and we ended up going to see Sonic. We don’t regret it. We had a good time watching Sonic. It was a fun movie, well made and surprisingly moving at points. (interesting to note, Sonic also has the main protagonist protecting a child plot, but unlike the films I mentioned, Sonic’s story is told from the perspective of the kid. It’s a little thing, but it’s enough to make the whole thing feel fresh and unique because it’s something not even the games tend to acknowledge. Sonic is a kid and the film plays around with that, which adds to its overall charm). Maybe Birds Of Prey is a better movie than Sonic. I don’t know. But that’s not what this is about. When picking which film we would watch, it was the factors I mentioned before that we considered and I suspect what many other people took into consideration too. Basically we looked at these two films and thought to ourselves which one would we be prepared to go outside and risk our health for in order to see it in a cinema. In the end, Sonic won because, out of the two films, it looked more exciting and more unique than Birds Of Prey, and ultimately we trusted that this film could deliver what it promised. Is that fair? Probably not, but sadly that’s often how these things play out. 
Birds Of Prey may have had a good critical reception, but it ultimately shot itself in the foot thanks to some of its creative and marketing decisions. And if studios take anything away from all this, it should be that relying solely on the gender of the main characters as a means to sell something just doesn’t cut it anymore.

What Happens in Paris
Tumblr media
Warnings: swearing, alcohol
Author’s Note: STAYs in paris!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway sorry i’m so Bad at writing anything good
also request for part two k bc i have ideas but like, i didnt want this to be so long
Word Count: 5k
part two
“It’s like, ten bucks, mate.”
Luke snorted. “For a fuckin’ scam, yeah.”
“Ya aren’t curious?”
“Y’know me,” he said. “I have a pair of five-hundred-dollar shoes in my closet that I’ve never worn. If I was curious, I’d be sittin’ in there with my head in my hands like an eager kid. Not doin’ it.”
Calum rolled his eyes. “Don’t you wanna know if you and that chic are gonna get back together? Just ten bucks.”
Luke sighed and glanced over at the pink neon “Psychic” sign that illuminated the stairs before them. The night had been rough–– breaking up and binge drinking followed by a muzzy stroll in back neighborhoods he had never visited before. The vibrant letters swirled and eddied around, and before Luke could catch himself, he began walking down the steps.
Calum let out a laugh. “All right, here we fuckin’ go.”
There was an overwhelming musty scent that filled Luke’s nostrils as stepped into the small apartment. He imagined it hardly smelled of anything at all, but his imagination was so strong, and the toxins in his blood were too intense. The couches and chairs were covered in large silk sheets and tapestries, and soft jazz music was playing from an Anker speak on the coffee table.
“Celebrities,” a low female voice said from a kitchen. She stepped out, tea kettle in hand and a smirk on her face. “That’s not a first.”
She was younger than what Luke expected, but a few laugh lines decorated the corners by her eyes. However, she spoke like a middle-aged smoker from Brooklyn. Her hair was in thick, red curls, and he imagined the difficulty of taming it–– he had trouble taming his own curls on the occasion.
“Take a seat,” she said, setting down the kettle on a doily in the center of a table. “You need it.”
Luke was unsure of the woman, but Calum was more eager to have his life spelled out for him. He nearly kicked the chair out from under him as he sat on the wicker beside a big, dusty fern.
“Tea?”
“Yes––
“No,” said Luke, his eyes narrowing in on his friend next to him.
The woman chuckled and began pouring hot water into two teacups. “Earl gray for you,” she said to Calum, and then she looked at Luke. “And rose for you.”
There was a knot forming in the pit of his stomach, and it grew larger as the teacup slid in his direction. The woman, who Luke would later know as Gina, sat across from the two of them and smiled. She spoke with her hands, and he found himself focusing in on the fluidity of the motions.
“I like the energy in this room,” she said. “It’s–– it’s light and positive. But there are some... interruptions. Like the positive is interacting with a negative, and it’s creating this ugly––aaughh––amalgamation.” Her eyes fell to Luke. “You. You haven’t been a good person.”
“What?” he asked, his voice reaching a high register while his friend laughed beside him.
The woman grinned. He didn’t like her grin. “Don’t act so surprised. Y-you have good qualities, eh, y’know? You love people and you always have. But you feel a lot of power. And, look at ya, honey. Money is a big part of that. You live in a constant cycle of excitement and stress, and the people that come and go in your life are greatly affected by you. But ya haven’t been good to them!”
“This is fuckin’ bullshit,” said Luke as he stood. “I don’t need this.”
“And you’re sad!”
“What?”
“But you’re too sad to realize you’re sad,” she continued. “There is a person in your life who is conflictin’ you. I’m sensing that they don’t mean much to you righ’ now, but the more you are around them, the more you will question who you are. Drink your fuckin’ tea.”
Luke huffed and returned to his seat. “What the fuck is happening,” he muttered, but it wasn’t a question. Calum was still stifling a laugh.
“They don’t like you right now,” the woman continued. “It is radiating off of you like fuckin’ UV rays, honey. They will mess with your feelings as you struggle to figure out your own. And–– “
“What is this shit?” Luke asked. “Like, what are you even telling me? Why is this person important to me?”
The woman chuckled darkly. “You’re going to fall in love with them, honey.”
-
“Who the fuck invited you?”
“I the fuck invited me,” you replied, hands folded across your chest as you brushed by the tall blond. “I’m here to see Cal, ya dipshit. I’m getting his house key.”
Luke let out a huff and pushed the front door shut behind him. The night before tour was a night full of traditions, and nearly all of his close friends participated in the so-called rituals. You, however, were not his friend. You were Ashton and Michael’s, and especially Calum’s, but you were not, under any circumstance, Luke’s friend. So, of all nights for you to drop by unexpectedly, it had to be the night of pre-tour traditions.
“Still didn’t fucking invite you,” he called after you, but you had already made your way into the kitchen where the group gathered. “Jesus fuckin’–– “
A loud chorus of “aye”’s and “hey”’s filled the room as you entered. He ambled in after you, his shoulders tight while he watched you go around and hug the people he was closest to. They all loved you, he knew that. And, he hated that.
“Ya didn’t tell me you invited Y/N,” said Ashton. He nudged his friend teasingly before adding in a wink. “When d’ya get the hots for her?”
Luke glared at him. “I’d run onto the 405 naked before I would ever consider even hugging her.”
“Damn, ‘kay then.” Ashton chuckled. He walked back towards the kitchen island where their mates were eating.
The traditions were light. They were simple, relaxing things that the band never had the chance to do, like movie nights and large orders of Uber Eats. Most nights, they went out and experienced life like typical chumps would do. But pre-tour traditions meant R&R, and you were not R&R.
To Luke, it seemed as though the rest of his friends enjoyed your company. His blood boiled at the thought of his night being ruined by you. His friends would tell him to avoid you and not let you spoil his fun, but he simply could avoid the frustration building while you laughed at stupid jokes. He would be laughing to had he actually cared for your company. If he kicked you out, it would ruin the night for his friends. Because of you, Luke really could not win.
And then, you said, “well, I gotta bounce. Am I dropping by your place at around nine tomorrow, Cal?”
To this, Luke nearly beamed.
“Nine on the dot,” responded Calum as he tilted his drink towards you.
“Cool beans.”
Another friend interjected the conversation. “C’mon, you can stay for a bit, can’t you? Maybe Luke will finally be the one to win the tattoo draw. Bet you’d pay to see that.”
Luke could feel perspiration under his arms at the thought of you staying and being touched by a needle.
“Tattoo draw?” you asked, dangling the key to Calum’s house between your fingers.
“Tattoo draw,” Michael affirmed. “Whoever won, well, lost the draw last time picks a tattoo for the next person who’s drawn. They’re small tattoos, but they’re often fuckin’ shit. I have a tattoo of Cal’s response to his dick pick on the back of my thigh.”
“That was so long ago,” someone piped.
You chortled. “No offense, but these pre-tour traditions are kinda–– “
“Oh, they’re lame,” interrupted Michael, “we know. But they’re fucking funny when you’re high out of your mind.”
You glanced over to Luke, who felt as though he was sweating like a pig, then back at the group of friends before you. “I’m in.”
-
Luke had contributed $200 to the pool. Throughout the past few years, the total money in the pot increased as the band’s fame continued moving up. And still, even after all of this time, he had been fortunate to not have his name drawn. The only bonus was the cash prize–– and you were also inked for the rest of your life.
But it wasn’t all that bad. It would be a memory, and Luke was fond of memories.
The anger that followed your presence had begun to fade as the night went on. Thoughts were foggy, words were garbled, and laughter filled the concrete walls and penetrated the thick, cloudy rooms. Plenty of crap foods had been consumed, plus two bottles of whiskey, by the time names were drawn.
You were right, Luke thought. Everything about the traditions were lame, and they were only routine because of their old teenage minds. The hazier he felt, the more he became lost in his own brain.
And then your name was drawn.
He had to keep himself from bursting into screeching laughter. It was easy to read the pure terror written all over your features from your wide eyes to your deep frown. Ashton, who had been last tour’s tattoo winner, nudged you playfully.
“’s all right, babe,” he said. “You don’t have to do it if you don’t wanna. Someone will be glad to do it for ya, I’m sure.”
You stared at the money pool on the coffee table before you. “I get all of that?”
Ashton nodded.
“You promise the tattoo’ll be small?
“Microscopic.”
You sighed. “Okay. Let’s go.”
Luke kept quiet for the next half hour as the group waited for the arrival of the tattoo artist. He watched your face, how it contorted and how it relaxed. He was hyper-focused on every little line and detail of your skin, and it was all because of how your demeanor changed. You appeared vulnerable now, a stark contrast to what Luke had known for nearly a year. You were witty. You were always ready to tear someone down with words when necessary. But now, you were nervous. You weren’t the same.
It bothered him tremendously.
Things only went downhill from there. Ashton, being the cocky bloke he occasionally could be, had a brilliant idea.
“I know how much you love Luke,” he said, an odd smirk toying on his lips as he exchanged glances between the two of you. “I want you to get his name tattooed.”
Luke choked on his glass of whiskey.
You snorted. “Nope. That’s a funny one, Irwin.”
“No money for ya then.”
“I don’t even know how much is in there,” you said. Meanwhile, the artist looked less than pleased to be here, and Luke didn’t blame him.
Calum winced and said, “’bout four thousand, babe. It’s a pretty big one this year.”
You gaped, mouth falling wide as you glared at Luke, who, truth be told, had no say in the situation. As much as he didn’t want his name on your body, it would have been kind of funny otherwise.
“I’ll shoot you a proposition,” said Ashton, his foot landing on the chair beside your thigh so he could lean over you. “Instead of his full name, just get his initials. L-R-H.”
Luke hated this.
“That’s–– “ You looked at Luke again, almost as if you were waiting for his approval. He didn’t speak. ‘That’s not so bad.”
Ashton grinned.
“Where would I get it?”
“Under-boob!” a voice called out from behind Luke.
A few groans washed through the group, and even Luke felt upset with the suggestion. He hated you, but he didn’t hate you that much.
“You shut your fuckin’ face, Stevens,” you responded, and that caused Luke to smile. There was the old you.
Ashton shrugged. “Anywhere you want it.”
And then, after looking Luke dead in the eyes for the thousandth time that night, you smirked. Finally, a rush of confidence flooded over you, and it chilled him to his very core. He didn’t understand why it cut right through his chest, and then you said, “under-boob it is.”
Luke decided he would no longer hold anything back. He hated you through and through.
-
Luke kept his mouth shut when his friends mentioned you. He kept it shut when they called you and talked about inside jokes. He kept it shut when they drunkenly stated they missed you. But when the Paris tour date came around and you were seated at their brunch table, he couldn’t keep himself from saying, “why the fuck are you here?”
And his friends were quick to defend, just like Luke expected. At that moment, it finally hit him that it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t be himself around you. It didn’t matter that he was the only one uncomfortable with your presence. It didn’t matter, because Luke finally realized he had no reason to feel this way. Yet he couldn’t shake the feeling.
Maybe he didn’t hate you. Maybe his blood just boiled because everyone loved you, and he didn’t love you. Maybe he found frustration in every one of your actions because he was the only one who couldn’t enjoy himself when you were there. Maybe he just had to take two seconds to get over himself and let others be happy.
Luke sunk in his seat, eyes glued on the condensation on the side of his mimosa glass while his friends chatted and laughed. He thumbed his napkin, powdered sugar coating his fingers once more. For the first time since knowing you, Luke felt guilty for treating you the way he did.
He didn’t speak for the next hour and a half. And, when he did speak, it was a word or two at a time, gaze cast to the roads once painted in the blood of the French Revolution. He wasn’t much up for going out on the town when night fell–– it was better he preserved his voice for the concert tomorrow anyway. Instead, he remained in his tiny hotel room, sweaty feet kicked up on the thousand-thread duvet while a French dubbed Iron Man 2 played on his television. At one point, he ordered himself room service, and the apple cobbler plus a sparkling bottle of white wine were too big for him to finish alone.
And somehow, as if it were fate, there was a soft knock on his door.
Luke stumbled over, slightly buzzed already as he looked through the dirty peephole to see you. He swung the door open.
“Why’re you here?” he asked, surprisingly without a swear. “Thought you were with the rest.”
You glanced behind him. “I smelled apple cobbler,” you said. A shrug and a smirk later, you made your way past him.
Luke rolled his eyes and shut the door behind him. “Didn’t invite you in.”
You were already sat on the opposite twin bed, hand reaching for the fancy bottle on the nightstand before taking a long swig of the bubbly drink.
“Why’re you here?” he repeated.
“I–– “ You let out a satisfied sigh and set the bottle down. “I got tired. Got in an Uber pool with this gorgeous dude who kept using the words très belle, and then I remembered you were home.”
Luke sat on his bed and quirked an eyebrow at you. “You got tired and came here? What, are you on crack?”
You laughed, and he kind of did, too.
“Y’hate me,” he said. “You’re not here without reason.”
You raised your hands in surrender. “Kay,” you said, “ya got me. I wanna make out with you. Have a lil bang-bang-bang action.”
Luke had to keep himself from chuckling again. “Shut the fuck up.”
You grinned; your eyes were brighter than he had ever seen them around him. The two of you were both a little tipsy, and he chose to blame that for him not being totally upset with you invading his quiet night.
Things fell silent for a moment, and he let himself get lost in the foreign dialogue of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
“Why do you hate me?”
Luke’s head snapped over to you. You were relaxed, legs spread on the leg before you with your back against the headboard, and you were still facing the television. The bottle of wine was now in between your thighs.
“I wanted to be your friend so badly,” you said. “When I got your number, I put a little heart next to your name. And then, you never answered me when I tried to text you. You started rolling your eyes at everything I said, even when I was just walkin’ up to greet you. I thought my occasional teasing was just harmless. Is that–– is that why you hate me?”
Luke frowned. He had no idea what to say, especially since he couldn’t tear his eyes away from you, and you couldn’t even look at him.
“I-I guess I just need you to tell me that my efforts are pointless,” you mumbled, hands reaching out to pick up the bottle from between your legs. “I feel stupid even bein’ around ya now.”
“No,” he said, “I don’t hate you. I’m sorry.”
Finally, you looked his way. “Let’s get drunk.”
The night muddled through, and to Luke’s surprise, he hadn’t had simple fun like that in ages. In your beautiful drunken stupor, you spoke your best French, although it came out as slurred gibberish while you danced around to the soundtrack from the movie Mannequin. His stomach ached from laughter, and at one point, he even joined you. He didn’t think twice about his hands lazily resting on your hips while the two of you passed the second bottle of wine around. The phone rang at about one in the morning; it was a lovely call from the front desk about a noise complaint.
Luke giggled around you. Colors and shapes swirled around him a little more than usual, and your touch burned his already-hot skin. By the time endorphins calmed and the night slowed to a stop, deep conversations met pillow talk. He was hesitant to speak on behalf of his feelings, but you were keen on sharing your entire life story and traumas with him. You cried, and he let it be on his shoulder. He chose to talk about himself for once, to get the pressure off of you. Cuddling became tickling, and soon enough, the two of you were shouting lyrics to “Beat Patrol” with uncontrollable laughter once again. When you said goodnight, your arms tossed themselves around his waist as you pecked his flushed cheeks. And then you were gone, and he decided he didn’t like the absence.
He didn’t forget about it the next day. You were quiet, and you kept your distance, so he did the same. But something had changed, that he knew. It pricked at his stomach, and when you hopped aboard a flight the next day after that, he realized he missed you. It was funny how a mere few hours could change a mind.

“Do you think Y/N was the one that psychic talked about?”
“What?”
Calum had been silently chewing on a cold slice of pizza when the question hit his brain. Luke, on the other hand, was washing down his midnight meal with a bottle of beer. The tour had been over for about a week, and they had all been sleeping for days straight. Well, all except for Luke, who found himself unable to close his eyes while he tried not to think about that one night with you. It was one fucking night. By this point, nearly all of the events had vanished from his mind, but he couldn’t shake the honest happiness he felt while singing along to cheesy songs from the 1980s. He couldn’t get over your impromptu stand-up comedy show and your terrible John Mulaney impression.
“The psychic, Gina,” said Calum. “You remember that, right?”
“Yeah,” Luke replied, a little wary of where the conversation was headed.
Calum straightened his posture and slapped the pizza back down onto the greasy cardboard box. “D’ya think Y/N is who she was talking about?”
“I–– “ Luke thought for a moment as he racked his brain. He hadn’t mentioned that night with you to anyone, but they all knew his prior distaste for you. Now, he couldn’t help but think of the accuracy of the psychic’s testament. You didn’t like him, he didn’t like you, but now he kind of did like you. “No,” he said, “not a chance. It’s Y/N. Fuckin’ hate her.”
Calum nodded. A frown pulled at his lips. “She’s great, mate. Y’oughta give her a chance.”
Luke had given you a chance, and it worked all too well.
“Maybe you’ll fall in love with her.”
The blond snorted. “I can’t even be in the same room as her, Cal. Don’t see romantic escapades in our future. No–– no drunken late-nights with comedy impressions and Starship dance-offs.”
“’s oddly specific, but okay,” said Calum. He shut the pizza box a moment later and slid it back into the fridge, and meanwhile, Luke felt a pit growing in his stomach. “You’re too stubborn,” his friend continued. “And ugly. Like, too damn ugly for her anyway.”
Luke smirked, tilting his beer in Calum’s direction. “Cheers to that, mate.”
Through the dying laughter, Luke’s smile fell into a frown, and he couldn’t quite grasp the reason why. It was possible that the idea of falling for someone like you didn’t seem so terrible after all.
-
A few dozen people had gathered in the backyard by the time you arrived. Luke spent the first hour of the party cradling a beer, keeping himself out of sight on the porch but in view of the pool. His shirt had already become unbuttoned, and his curls had loosened and stuck flat against his skin due to the humidity in the hot air. And you... you looked marvelous.
Luke had been so focused on trying not to think about you, he ended up thinking about you every hour of every day. He caught himself scrolling through your Instagram page after failing to fall asleep, and he thought about what would have happened had you stayed in his hotel room a little longer. When your face popped into his brain, his heart hurt. He had started to idealize the two of you together–– exactly what he hadn’t wanted.
So, he isolated himself in the kitchen after your arrival, a series of nonconsecutive thoughts whirling through his head while he chipped away at the sticker on his warm beer. The party was outside, and he was in there, wondering how on earth he let himself start falling for the person he never wanted to know.
“I told Calum to queue up some Starship.”
Your voice was confident as you slid the back door closed behind you. Luke focused on your footsteps, but he refused to turn around as you approached him.
“If I can’t jam to some “Beat Patrol”, then honestly, what’s the point of being here?” you continued with a light laugh. You were grinning from ear to ear when you placed yourself in front of Luke, the close proximity causing him to hold in a gasp.
He cracked a smile. “Who invited you?”
“I invited myself,” you replied, “thank you very much.” You tilted your drink in his direction before taking a quick sip and setting it beside Luke’s on the counter. “The question is: why are you in here alone, bud? Lookin’ so glum n’ all.”
Luke’s heartbeat had begun to pick up, and humidity from the outside had seeped its way into the kitchen. He placed his palms on his pants to dry them off.
You frowned–– he had taken too long to answer. “You okay?”
He nearly jumped at the feeling of your hand brushing against his arm, and then he noticed that you had moved slightly closer. “I–– “ Luke coughed. “’m fine.” The weight on his arm never left.
“C-can I ask you something?” you spoke up again after a few moments of silence. You didn’t wait for his answer. “Do you hate me?”
His eyes met yours, despite the pain settling in his chest because of the contact. “You’ve asked me that before,” he said and smirked.
“I know,” you said quickly. “But, do you?”
Luke shook his head. “No. I could–– I could never.”
You nodded.
He nearly leaned in a little. The heavy tension and spike in energy tilted his body and its weight on the balls of his feet, but he held back in fear. All he wanted to do was see how you felt beneath his touch.
“Okay,” you then mumbled. Your voice was hushed, and you refused to look at him again. Somehow, the distance between the two of you shrunk once again.
Luke swallowed. His fingers played with the neck of his half-empty bottle; they spun it around and around while his brain told him what to do and what not to do.
And then, the hand that had been grazing his arm moved up to rest on his chest, and Luke restrained himself from completely losing himself in you. It was as if the music from the world outside had been sucked into a vacuum, and the air around him was dense with heat and sexual tension, but he could only notice your breath ghosting his lips. There was something about the nudging of noses and fluttering of eyelids that pushed him over the edge. So, when your lips finally met in a soft, velvety kiss, he couldn’t hold back the desire that had been building up for months.
While your hands plaited through his hair, Luke’s were firm on your waist. He had pulled you into him, all previous thoughts out the door while your lips slotted against his. It was wet yet warm, and a familiar sensation tightened in his abdomen. His cheeks were hot and pink–– that he knew for sure.
But you pulled away quickly, gasps falling as you sputtered out apologies. “I shouldn’t–– that was–– weird, right?”
Luke wanted to shake his head no, but instead, all he could do was nod.
“We–– we hate ea–– I’m sorry,” you said, grabbing your beer quickly and making a b-line for the sliding glass door.
Underneath Luke’s eyes, the skin burned, but he quickly shook it off. He wasn’t going to cry because you walked out on him. He was, however, disheartened tremendously.
The rest of the night, he spent his time avoiding you. Truth be told, he spent his time avoiding everyone. He loitered around his practice room, used the bathroom for twenty minutes, and locked himself in his room until the crowd outside died down. No one bothered to check up on him, not even you. It was when he had come to terms with his isolation that you knocked on his door and stumbled in. Immediately, he knew you had a few too many drinks.
Neither of you said a word as you ambled over, giggles leaving your lips before you flopped onto his bed beside him. Pillows flew and the duvet slipped to the floor, but Luke didn’t care. In the beginning, he never wanted to picture you in his bed–– it made him sick to think about. But then he purposefully avoided the thought, for he simply knew he’d find himself wanting to picture it more and more. So now, he had to keep his stomach from knotting. He had to keep himself from looking over and spilling out a word-vomit of feelings that he didn’t even want to have.
And then, you started touching his face.
At first, Luke wanted to laugh. You were cute albeit clumsy, yet the silence and evident tension settled in his shoulders, and every graze of your fingers on his flushed skin sent shivers up his spine. Fingers running over cheeks and closed eyelids, your touch so gentle he could barely feel it, but he did. You brushed the ridge of his brows, the curve of his nose, and finally, the dip of his cupid’s bow. He couldn’t breathe as you lightly traced the soft skin of his lips.
His lips felt cold once your fingers left, but they soon skimmed the hollowing of his cheeks back down to where his lips parted in a silent gasp. You pressed one finger against the separation of skin, and he kissed it gently. Then, you placed another finger there, and he continued.
Luke wanted to shoo your hand away. He blinked up at the ceiling while your hand traveled down his Adam’s Apple and onto his collarbones. Your touch was so light, so beautiful–– he was completely enamored at this moment. He had to clench his jaw while your hand traced the hairs on his chest.
The weight in his bed shifted, and suddenly your body was wedged up against his, your nose nudging his chest as you peppered kisses up and down it. Luke’s heart rate decided to make a break for it.
“No, no, no,” he breathed out, reaching over and pushing you away from him. He rose instantly while his hands fumbled to button up his shirt. It would be obvious to anyone as to how utterly flustered he was. “No, you can’t–– you can’t do that to me.”
You grinned. “Why not? Yer so pretty! Like a fuckin’ angel that fell from heaven. You glow.”
“I-I don’t–– no, what?” Luke sputtered, nerves rising to his throat as he finally got a good look at you in your drunken state. He already knew what you were like drunk, but he never saw you like this while sober.
“Ya deserves to be kissed,” you said.
Luke wanted to smile; except he couldn’t have things end up this way. He felt so much, maybe too much, and he wanted it to be good. You had hardly blinked.
“Um,” Luke whispered, “thanks. I–– I should–– I should check on the party.”
“Oh, yeah!” you squeaked. “Go, go, go!”
He nodded, excusing himself quickly and then shutting the door behind him. But he couldn’t walk any farther than that. With a sigh, he pressed his back against the door and looked down to his feet. Every muscle in his body tensed and relaxed while his brain went black. Luke didn’t know what to think. He wasn’t sure he would ever know how to admit how he felt. However, he did know that needed to pay a certain psychic a visit.

I have not. I have given them food before. I have trust issues guys, I'm going to give the thing I believe they need but can't potentially misuse. 
179. Have you ever gotten a surgery?
Nope
180. Your least favorite food?
Oranges
181. From 1-10, how competitive are you?
9
182. Do you like wearing hats?
I don't have anything against hats but I don’t wear them often. 
183. How much of a jealous person are you?
I'm not really a jealous person at all. 
184. What was your SAT score?
Didn't take them. 
185. Have you ever voted for a reality competition show?
No
186. Does anyone in your family currently serve in your country’s military?
No
187. Snowboarding or skiing?
Snowboarding
188. What celebrity would you most want to play you in a movie about your life?
Karen Gillan. Why not?
189. Have you ever been a Boy or Girl Scout?
Nope
190. Have you ever dyed your hair?
No, I haven't. 
191. From 1-10, how good of a cook do you consider yourself?
4. I can do it if I have to but it's not going to be great. 
192. You have just opened up a web browser. What is the first site you visit?
Probably Tumblr. 
193. How many things can you do with your weaker hand?
Virtually nothing. 
194. Were you involved in any academic clubs in high school?
Academics... not so much. Definitely, was not a mathlete or a debate champion. I was, however, in the choir my senior year and I also did some of the school plays, mostly working behind the scenes making the costumes. Exactly once I was brave enough to get my butt on the stage in my last year. 
195. Have you ever played hooky from school?
Little hard to do when you're in a boarding school hidden from the outside world. Just saying. 
196. Are you comfortable with watching rated R movies?
Why wouldn't I be?
197. Do you root for any sports teams?
There are teams I root for, yes. Do I follow them religiously, no, not at all, but there are teams I favor. 
198. First thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
Turn my alarm off and try for more sleep. Depending on where I am and how early it is, it may include some minor cuddling. 
199. If you could take home any one animal from the zoo, which one would you choose?
Today I'd probably take home a meerkat. I don’t have a favorite zoo animals which I feel is the real question when this one is asked. 
200. Tell something about yourself most people don’t know.
I enjoy doing the laundry. It is my favorite chore.
