Watching the Rise of the Titans movie and I'll be documenting all of my thoughts/reactions here. [Spoiler Warning]

So instead of reblogging every new update, I'm just going to have this post up on my phone as I watch and type my reactions in a bullet list format.

Nari's human disguise is so cute. As someone who does have a cottagecore aesthetic, I want to cosplay her so bad

Are Skrael and/or Belroc non-binary coded? Regardless, I'm also obsessed and I want to fuck Skrael and be Belroc.

STEVE CARING ABOUT JIM BEING HURT YESSSS!!! My god his redemption has probably been one of the greatest there is because he doesn't just suddenly go from being a bully to a completely good person. You can see the gradual shift in learning better throughout the shows which is awesome.

IN NEW YOOOOOOORRRRRRRK!!!!!! CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

The mugshot montage reminded me of season 1 of trollhunters when toby and Jim were arrested at the museum.

STRICKLER PUT A RING ON IT??? HE'S THE ONLY DILF IVE EVER ACTUALLY AGREED WAS HOT WYM I CAN'T HAVE HIM??? well I'm still really happy about his arc over the series probably one of my favorite character growths.

Eli my guy got his growth spurt!!! As an 18 year old who is still 5'0", I'm happy but envious for him

So I went into this movie without watching any trailers or promo, but I doubt anything could have prepared me for the existence of mpreg. In fact, I wasn't going to document my reactions until I saw that.

NAMURA!!!!!!!!! MY BELOVED!!!!!! I CAN STILL THIRST FOR YOU WITHOUT GUILT

The coach teacher just called the kids zoomers so I have to dock one point from my final rating just because of that. Unforgivable

Those husky animation models suck lmao

Oh fuck the titans got power ranger zords!!

God why did they include the mpreg??? This movie would have been perfect without it.... After that plot point being revisited only one time I'm already beyond done with it

Like it's bringing me back to the v*ltron days where they're was a suspiciously high amount of klance omegaverse and mpreg fics and art created and it physically hurts because Steve and Keith's voice actor is the same person meaning this is especially cursed to me since I was unfortunately in the v*ltron fandom and remember all of that

But like on another note, how old are these characters again??? I haven't checked any wikis because of spoilers but is Steve an adult??? I know aja might be technically a lot older than 18 because alien but is whatever age she is equivalent to an adult as far as emotionally and physically in Akaridion development??? IS THIS A TEEN (M)PREGNANCY IN A KIDS SHOW????

Like bruh I saw a singular post on here before going into the movie that was like "rott spoilers without context" and there was a pregnant belly but I was absolutely not expecting the actual context of it. I'll find the post after I finish and edit this post to tag the creator right here: @makoden

This entire post is just gonna be me ranting about mpreg huh

Anyway I love the whole roundtable allusion to the legends of king arthur (not the toa version but the one he's based off)

THERE'S 3 TO 5 BABIES????? I need to take a break bruh this is just too much

Alright I've taken a 30 minute break got some food and did some things i love (decompressed by tactile stimming with some owl plushies and watched some videos on my favorite owl, Garu. He lives in Japan with his owner and is a domesticated eagle owl who basically just acts like a sky cat. If anyone else needs some eye bleach, here is their YouTube channel)

Blinky and ARRRGHHH!!! saying their "if one of us doesn't make it" talk my god one of them is going to die I can see it and I will be utterly crushed. Jim can't lose another father figure and Toby can't lose his wingman again I will riot if this happens

On a similar but unrelated to the movie note, can we just talk about how toa started with Jim having 0 dads and (if strickler and blinky live to the end) will end with 2 dads? Like I just really feel happy for him that he has two dads who actually figured out how to put the past behind them to not have any infighting between them so that both of them are healthy father figures. Jim has already been through literal hell and back losing his actual humanity in the process so if he loses one of them, I'm going to be really pissed because at this point, this is just Jim torture porn. Y'all know how as SpongeBob SquarePants went on, the show just became Squidward torture porn? It's starting to feel that way for toa and I really hope they cut the shit by the ending

Jlaire is such a good ship but like I feel like it's too perfect they never disagree with each other

YESSSSSSS Someone finally doesn't treat toby like a fat waste of space who messes stuff up!!! I think out of all the characters that would have been most deserving of a rewrite, it's Toby. Sometimes I just feel he's only comic relief and any heartfelt moments he's had in the series was also born of stupidity (ie his flour baby project being unharmed was seen by him as divine intervention from his parents but was actually just Eli and Steve behind the scenes).

Ohhhhh yesssssss Archie's father!!! I was hoping I'd see him again because we got so little of him last

Ooooooooooh Asian trollmarket!!!!!

Oh never mind slavery trollmarket

Bruh titanic camelot

I feel like we're not seeing enough of the villains because I completely forgot about the power ranger zord things

NAMORA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LAST CRUSHHHH

STRICKLER NO NOT YOU TOO PLEASE

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ONLY TWO CHARACTERS I SIMP FOR ON THIS SHOW DIED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF EACH OTHER

THAT WHOLE ASS RANT I WROTE IS COMING TRUE FUCK THIS MOVIE THIS SERIES IS JUST JIM TORTURE PORN

WAIT JIM'S SPERM DONOR INFO?

Oh thank God I don't want to know anything about that person

For the record, I call that man Jim's sperm donor because he has no business being called a father to him. All he did was donate some swimmers to the creation of him and give him abandonment issues

Oh another blind troll elder???? This fucker is just if vendel was a bad guy

Bruh I was grieving

PACIFIC RIM WITH GUN ROBOT VEX AND THE BELROCZORD? I've never seen that movie but I know the reference

Bruh Blinky doesn't read horoscopes? Does he realize conspiracy theories are just the manly version of horoscopes?

NO DON'T KILL VEX STOP KO-ING FOUND FAMILY MEMBERS

Oh thank God he's okay

NO NOT ARCHIE AND CHARLEMAGNE OH MY GOD

oh never mind they're just gonna coup de tat I believe in them :))

But I want to see him again

But I'm glad to see vex

Yay they're in arcadia!

But yeah I wondered why the trolls and Merlin didn't keep the whole "daylight doesn't hurt trolls" feature from the eternal night but now Guillermo del Toro I see you were playing the long con in that just to kill my girl Namora :(((

Oooooh I love the animation of the Narizord over Chihuahua!! It looks very good and realistic (if only they could have put some of that into those huskies from before smh)

Bruh the character designs of the arcane order are so good I want to be them

Nari making sure the Skraelzord doesn't crush the bus

DAMN DOUBLE HOMICIDE

Bruh I'm just glad we finally have an answer on why arcadia had everything going on as opposed to literally anywhere else!! I always found that as a weird coincidence for plot convince.

BRUH WERE BACK TO THE MPREG IM SO JEALOUS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF MY LOVELIES.

Oh that's real convenient that the ninth configuration meant all of them. Way to not decide which character gets more attention. Though it probably was a smart way to not have any infighting in the fandom between each character's stan group.

Bruh I just realized where is Barbera did they just ditch her on the Camelot ship???

And where are the other trolls that migrated at the end of trollhunters s3? They said something about new jersey but obviously Jim and the other main characters got on Camelot instead.... This feels like a plot hole

And we never learned the process of how changelings are made and bonded to humans and stuff. We just know it's super painful but I'm curious ffs!!!!

THE DONT THINK BECOME HERO SPEECH ALL SAID TOGETHER!!!

BRUH THEY REALLY HAD TO SHOW HIM GIVING BIRTH??????? WAS THAT AN ABSOLUTE MUST??????

Plus the main audience for this series is little children (the rating for the movie is literally TV-Y7) so even though my adult ass is not in the target audience, I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD MPREG AND ANAL BIRTH WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT THING TO 7 YEAR OLDS???? THIS IS A LITERAL FETISH HIDDEN IN KIDS CONTENT ITS ELSAGATE ALL OVER AGAIN Y'ALL 😭😭😭😭😭

Though it's probably hypocritical of me to think fetishes don't belong in kids tv when I've openly admitted to thirsting for strickler and namora

HUZZAH

NEW AMULET WAZ GOOD????

STAB THAT BITCH JIM

WAIT NO I SAID STAB NOT GET STABBED

Alright good job just missed the directions at first but you fixed it

SEVEN KIDS?????????

T O B Y ????????????

W A I T NO

N O

IS HE ACTUALLY

OH MY GOD THERE'S HOPE

NO THERE ISN'T

F U C K THIS SHIT THEY REALLY JUST HAD HIM TO BE BULLIED THEN KILLED

Y'ALL IM ACTUALLY CRYING THIS NEVER HAPPENS

I NEVER ACTUALLY GET SO EMOTIONAL OVER MEDIA THAT I CRY IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE AT THE END OF VOLTRON BUT AHHHHHHHH

W A I T

HE'S GONNA BE BROUGHT BACK?????

HOLD UP THEY'RE JUST GONNA BRING ALL THOSE DEAD PEOPLE BACK??????

WAIT IS HE

BLINKY CALLED HIM A SON

HOLD ON IS THIS GOING TO BE A CLIFFHANGER???????????

BRUH THEY REALLY JUST CAN'T END THE SERIES WITHOUT CLIFFHANGERS like there's always an open ending

TROLLHUNTER TOBY????? You know what forget the whole rants I had on how toby was written they just redeemed it all

And that's all! I'd rate it a 6.5/10 because it's definitely the weakest of all the sequels but still had amazing animation and some good plot points. It's just really hard to look over the bad stuff enough to rate it any higher.

PSA: Be Upfront

Communication is important in RP.

Now, to preface, I am not going to use the really awful phrase "it's a hobby not a jobby" because this is a really sketch take on what is important to people. You can have a hobby mean a lot to you, be you a collector, a gardener, someone that builds model airplanes, a writer, an artist, etc. Those are all hobbies, and the fruits of your labor are NOT only valuable to you and others if you are paid for them. This saying implies that should you never be a published author, never have a painting sell, never do something that can be sold or have a time clock punched, it doesn’t at all matter. It’s a really discouraging thing to be telling people, quite honestly. I have multiple hobbies outside of RP. Kind of really sucks to see constantly they don’t matter because nobody pays me for what I do. I know I’m not the only one who has said this, but the majority aren’t willing to say it amongst the clamoring of ‘rp isn’t a job’ because then you get people jumping down your throat. Hear me out though! I’m not done.

“BUT I HAVE REAL LIFE!”

Yes! So do we all! We all have problems, and things to take care of. The RPC is littered with people with mental illness, neurodivergence, chronic physical illness (I hit all three categories multiple times, LUCKY ME!). Do not, I repeat, do not ever feel like you need to put RP before: bills, marriage/children/other relationships, your health. Literally, do not have your takeaway from this post be these are secondary to your hobby. They are not. Do not get evicted because you were too busy doing RP at your desk at work, that’s just plain dumb af.

You owe people decency means:

-if you can only do aesthetic posts this week because you are low on writing spoons, that’s fine

-if you had work/health/mother-in-law take over you life this week and you literally didn’t have time to log-in even though you wanted to, that’s fine

-if you are sick in bed and can’t bother to write, that’s fine

What it also means:

-dropping what was supposedly a years long ooc friendship because the other mun isn’t dropping their current muse for you and following you into a different fandom ‘because they’re now boring’ and telling them as much in a message...is shitty behavior.

-daily reblogging multiple memes that people are sending in to you, your wire, your discord, ignoring both those and messages to plot, then whining on the dash that no one wants to write with you (also known as trying to guilt trip interaction, obviously you only wanted it from one specific person not the people actively engaging you)...is shitty behavior.

-claiming you’re open for plots and memes, then only replying to the one or two people consistently for 6 months...is shitty behavior.

Again, in case it wasn’t clear- it’s your blog, it’s your life, it’s your health. That’s not in question.

HOWEVER- be upfront and give people some honesty! What do I mean by that?

If it’s feasible, post that you need a writing break, even if it’s going to be indefinite. Take as many fucking breaks as you need to for your physical and mental health to be the best they can be (I’m not going to say great, as I know what it’s like to just have a ‘good’ health day mean ‘it’s less shit than it could be’).

But if the situation is really you only want to write with these one or two people, just say so! It’s your blog, you’re allowed to decide you’re closed for plots, asks, etc. Just don’t lead people on. Don’t say something and mean something else. Don’t keep reblogging your promo and really you don’t want to write, and you don’t plan on taking on new mutuals, and don’t plan on replying to dms or threads from anyone else.

I’ll repeat it a little differently to be sure it’s clear- you dictate your activity level and number of mutuals, when you answer asks, threads, etc. This should be at a level that is suited for you and your life, health, etc.

BUT when you engage in RP you are involving someone else’s free time with yours, and it is not fair to them to act like they do not matter. You have involved someone else. Until you disengage from them, be courteous.

I’ll give you an example. When you ask for that starter on both your dash, then DMs, and act super hyped, getting the other mun excited for it, and then they put the time and effort into writing it up and posting it for you, expecting a reply? Only for you to go and make new blogs and immediately ditch that muse without a heads-up? That’s not really fair to the other mun. You communicated you wanted to write this, you hyped them up, they spent their time and writing spoons on your starter...and then you told them other people were more exciting and a better use of your time.

“BUT I DIDN’T TELL THEM THAT!”

Okay, so you didn’t message them ‘Hey loser, your starter sucked, your muse is boring, and honestly, a different fandom is better! Bye!’ But your actions sure give that impression, and unless you communicate otherwise, it’s a shitty move.

Now yes, sometimes you genuinely forget a starter was written because you thought it was drafted and it wasn’t, dumblr is an ass and loses your draft and then you forgot it, something came up that day and bumped it from your mind, etc. NONE OF THESE ARE WHAT I AM REFERRING TO. I have ADHD, object permanence is the thing my brain does where often unless it’s directly in front of my face, it doesn’t exist, until I find it again. I’m aware these things happen, as are most muns, and we don’t mind! Hell, we usually have in our rules “hey if it’s been a hot minute and we haven’t replied to this, feel free to give us a little nudge to see if it’s been lost” because we all know between brains and dumblr’s everlasting fuckery...shit gets lost.

I’m talking about those times where you just up and leave someone hanging without communication. I’m also not saying it might even be on purpose. What I’m saying is you should consider how other muns feel when you do this, and if you cannot avoid it, at least communicate with them.

“Hey, I’m just no longer going to be writing this muse. Sorry I had you write that starter. Do you want to try something with this new one? This is where my brain is at right now.” “Hey I really can’t be online this month thanks to fill-in-the-blank but I do still want to write when I am able.” “Hey, I see you sent in that ask. I’m only interested in this one ship, and I won’t be taking on new threads, but you’re welcome to follow and maybe I’ll take on new threads later. I’m just writing with these two people right now.”

Communication is something that is a requirement in a collaborative hobby.

I know it can be scary. I know the mentality ‘well they reblogged that meme but it’s not for me, I know they said they want to plot but they don’t mean me’, but you really have to get past that when you roleplay to be fair to other people.

Spoiler alert: the examples of shitty behavior further above are what help feed this ‘that post/meme isn’t for me’ mentality, when you do those things you’re fostering people’s anxiety and rejection sensitivity...just saying.

If someone gets mad at you for communicating with them, they’re a shitty person and block them. Literally if someone has a problem with you for trying to start something, especially as mutuals, you’re losing nothing by not writing with them. Find nicer people. So don’t be afraid to communicate you can’t write currently, you need a break, you’re only writing with these certain people. And don’t be afraid to send in the meme. I promise you, the right people appreciate courteous communication. The ones that don’t...

Again, no one is saying put your life on hold for RP, you’re never allowed to narrow your scope, you’re supposed to always have writing spoons, you need to produce five replies a day or you’re wrong, you always need to log-in to communicate you had a family emergency/depressive episode/etc.

What I am saying, is if you are capable of communicating, respect the time and energy of your fellow muns who may also be very low on spoons and free time themselves, and be honest about where you are at when it comes to taking on new threads, new asks, new partners, etc. Treat others how you want to be treated, and consider you probably wouldn’t like being on the receiving end of the behaviors I’ve described. If you need to be on the clock being paid to be a nice person...please re-evaluate.

The 100 Season 7 Episode 4 - Post-Liveblog Recap

Okay, so I liveblogged an episode for the first time - and it turned out to be a nice way to stay focused through the commercial breaks. Might continue to do that for the rest of the season.

But TBH I started doing it just so I could bitch about the CLEAR AND BLATANT LACK OF A SCENE WHERE SANCTUM!KRU REALIZE THAT BELLAMY AND ANOMOLY!KRU ARE MISSING. That was an important scene that the whole fandom, more or less, has been waiting for the entire time for various reasons.

How do the characters react? Who figures out that something’s wrong first? Does Clarke sense Bellamy’s absence because they have a bond? Does Emori go looking for her space sister to comfort her other space sister only to find her missing?

(Actually, she does. That’s my headcanon and I’m sticking to it. Might fic later. Accounts for Emori’s complete absence while her bestie Raven is falling apart.)

Edit: here's the fic!

Anyway, back to the episode - whoever was in charge of editing really really dropped the ball. Missing realization scene, poorly ordered Raven and Clarke scenes. The music during the Dev-and-Hope montage was a nice touch but just too loud enough that I really had trouble telling what they were saying - and the pacing would have felt better with just one show of teenage!Hope before we got 20-year-old her. The cut from Orlando agreeing to train Anomaly!Kru to 5 years later was WAY too abrupt for me to get a feel for the character and relationship development that they were trying to shoehorn in in order to create conflict at the end. I got where they were going with everything, but in a I’m-reading-a-newbie-writer’s-fanfic-because-I-love-the-story-concept-and-want-to-support-them kind of way and not in a I’m-watching-a-show-made-by-experienced-professionals-and-paying-for-the-privilege-in-ad-revenue kind of way. Disappointing.

Jumping around here for a bit: I gotta say I’m loving the makeovers this season! Hair and makeup did a great job on bringing back the old Raven without losing the maturity they gave her, giving Murphy and Emori their Gucci Royalty Vibes without losing the feel of their individual styles, and making Hope look like she can’t find quite the balance between feral forest girl and innocent shut-in who can’t bear to take a life (which is accurate to her character, of course).

And Echo! So I really, really didn’t like her makeovers in seasons 5 and especially 6, because it felt like they were trying too hard to make her look pretty in a 21st Century kind of way. She looked softer, more vulnerable, which really contradicted her character traits - but I thought that might’ve been on purpose, to show a change in her (that she did indeed allow herself to become softer and more vulnerable for her family). And her post-time-skip (not that one. Or that one. The other one. There’s a lot of those. Bah.) look feels like a return to herself; she’s beautiful but in a no-nonsense, don’t-forget-I-can-cut-your-throat kind of way. (Is this because I just really love the butch look on woman and am myself a butch woman? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.)

Side note: Where the hell did they get clippers on Penance? Those haircuts were entirely too even to have been done with scissors. I’ll buy that Gabriel and Orlando shaved their heads and their perfect round cuts were growout, but Hope and Echo? Electric clippers. Like I said I like the looks, but guys, there’s no way.

I liked that I got a better feel for Hope’s character this episode - she’s trying so hard to be like her mom and Aunty O and all the heroes they told her about when she was a child, but the truth is she’s been in one real battle, she froze, and her best and only friend died. And since her only role models were these incredibly strong people who didn’t give up, back down, hesitate, that wouldn’t be an easy thing for her to get over. (Given that Diyoza was pregnant with her for two entire seasons, I’d really like to have more time developing Hope’s character - or even the same amount of screen time but go easier on the timeskips, lol. She keeps having growth/maturity/life experience spurts so it’s hard to keep up with the development that we’re shown.

So, 5 (7? Wasn’t she 22? There’s still 2 years we missed right?) years after watching her friend die, and 5 (7?) years of blaming herself for freezing, she’s put into the same position, and she stabs some lady in the neck. Kid didn’t steal her coping mechanisms! All joking aside thought, the kid basically relived her trauma in real life - honestly her reaction was 100% valid.

I’m sure I’m supposed to be upset by Echo’s choice to kill the remaining gold-head people. But I think the only reason that’s supposed to bother me is that she promised (ish - she was real explicitly clear that she’d do what was necessary to rescue Bellamy and them were the breaks) Orlando that she wouldn’t. I think I’m supposed to care about the fractured relationship between AnomalyKru and Orlando.

I don’t. I don’t know if it’s the super-fast timeskip (it was weird enough to see the changed dynamics in SpaceKru when I deeply knew all of the characters AND we got time to see the changes play out) or the fact that I didn’t really get to know Orlando in a way that made me super sympathetic to him (I’ll get to that in a minute) or if it’s just that he was smart enough to know he was being played from the start (see Navy SEAL mom didn’t teach you how to swim and Echo again being 100% clear that killing people might still happen) and walked right in anyway. Either way, his betrayal wasn’t enough of a motivator for me as an audience member to be bothered about how things ended between him and AnomalyKru. I kind of shrugged and moved on.

More on Orlando... So The 100 has had several plotlines that center around people doing dangerous, terrible and downright ridiculous things because of their religions; see the kidnapping and conclave of freaking children killing each other to become commander, Gaia’s whole character arc + starting a new religion around Octavia/WonKru betraying that religion to go back to their old one centering on Madi, WHO IS GODDAMN TWELVE, all of Sanctum and season 6, the Sanctum conflict here in season 7, and now this goddamn Bardo Disciple shite.

Now I’m not dishing on real life religion or religious people - I happen to have one of those myself - but the plot of some-people-take-their-religion-way-too-far-drink-the-koolaid-and-hurt-people-around-them has been done and done and done on this show. And now here we have Orlando, who was a high-ranking member of his religion, drank the koolaid, cast out, still a true believer and therefore dangerous because his perspective is fundamentally skewed. I don’t know anything about this religion but that it’s militarized (they can arrest people) and think that sentencing people to 10 years of madness-inducing Geneva Convention violations and then bringing them back to their families two days later is okay. I don’t really want to know anything else, because I’m worried that the show is going to work hard on making this religion scarier than the Sanctum one (needing to one-up themselves with the big bad, of course) which just keeps making the commander religion look humane in comparison.

Which it wasn’t. But I digress.

So Orlando was kinda’ cool, but getting in too deep with a fundamentalist who was complicit in his own abuse by said religion (and so who knows what he thought was okay to do to other people) and then it ended badly.

Cue shocked Pikachu.

Moving on. Clarke. Baby. After the harrowing experience of the radiation destroying the radio so you couldn’t say goodbye to your mom when you were supposed to go to space, then missing your time window and getting left behind on Earth, and the radio broke them too so you couldn’t even be sure your friends would leave in time until they blasted off, and then calling Bellamy every day when you knew he couldn’t hear you, and ALL OF THE FREAKING LAST SEASON WHERE YOU WERE POSSESSED AND WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO LET YOUR FRIENDS AND DAUGHTER KNOW BOTH THAT THAT WASN’T YOU AND THEN LATER THAT YOU WERE ALIVE and THEN your MOTHER getting possessed and you had to check to see if it was really her and it WASN’T. Clarke.

After all that terrifying inability to communicate.

You leave Gaia behind to warn everyone of the danger. INSTEAD OF CALLING THEM ON A PIECE OF HANDY TECHNOLOGY OR TAKING A QUICK TRIP BACK YOURSELF. TO TELL YOUR DAUGHTER WHERE YOU WERE GOING. YOU DON’T THINK THAT MAYBE MAKING EXTRA SURE THAT EVERYTHING GETS COMMUNICATED CLEARLY AND IMMEDIATELY MIGHT BE A PRIORITY.

And then Gaia gets kidnapped. Honestly, cool! Not ‘cause I’m rooting for Gaia to be hurt (I don’t care all that much about her tbh) but I LOVE Indra and I want her to have more screen time and development this season - and or the chance to cut people up with her sword - and kidnapping her daughter seems like a great way to facilitate that.

*Looks at list* Oh, right, Jordan. I forgot you were here. Honestly I can’t figure out what the fuck is going on with you, and since I’ve had a whole season of not connecting with you because the story was too busy focusing on external plot... I don’t see that changing any time soon buddy. Sorry.

Oh and that FrEaKiNg PrOmO!

My garbage boy! My chaos gremlin! My excellent-at-impersonating-a-deity-even-if-it-goes-against-his-programming! What are they doing?!

I’m torn between NO DON’T HURT HIM and YES HURT HIM BECAUSE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND BRAVERY BWAHAHAHA. At least I know there’ll be Murphy and hopefully Memori content in the next episode. That’s the good shit. It’s the only thing left about this show that still feels “pure,” not that I didn’t know what sort of darkness I was signing up for when I started but just because he and Emori are sort of the last light in the darkness, and it’s nice to get a break periodically.

✱ kim doyeon. she / her. cis female. — i know that theodora “ theo ” jung is one of the roses. which makes sense because the twenty year old’s parents are hollywood royalty known for producing and recording multi-platinum awarded albums. rumors say that they are the quixotic of the group , but who knows if that’s true. + plucking petals off of daisies in the name of a crush , steeping teabags for too long , the scent of perfume left behind on a pillowcase.

hello ! im xan and im late as usual but alas ... 😔 im 22 , from the est timezone ( even though my sleeping schedule … does not reflect that sjbdwjkbdjdw ) & i go by she / her pronouns ! i truly ... never know what im doing with intros they just turn out long & messy aha ... are u ready ? *jungkook vc* let’s get it ! 😋

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ QUICK STATS !

full name: theodora marie jung.

nickname(s): theo, teddy, dora ( but only by bullies 😠 ).

zodiac: libra sun, aqua moon ( click ! )

sexuality: bisexual.

occupation: singer / songwriter, model.

birthplace: los angeles, california.

current residence: wherever this rp is taking place aha x

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ BACKSTORY ! ( tw: sexual themes )

so her parent’s story was actually a pretty big scandal in the 90′s ! basically theo’s mom was the pretty famous front woman of a band ( think stevie nicks in fleetwood mac ) who was long engaged to the guitarist of that same band....until one day it was announced she was quitting the group and starting her solo career, leaving her fiance, and signing to a new label.....which was run by theo’s father, a young up & coming producer taking over the family business. not even three months later theo’s mom releases her first solo album, produced and co-written by theo’s father, basically detailing this years long affair the two had been having... in a series of really catchy, moving, and wildly successful songs.

the public went crazy over the drama, especially when rumors started circulating ( through detailed analysis of the lyrics to all of theo’s mom’s solo songs ) that the well known band had actually been quite toxic. basically it was enough to convince media outlets and fans alike to forgive theo’s parents for being cheaters and breaking up the band JSDBWBDJWBD. by the time theo was born in the last year of the iconic decade that launched both her parents into stardom, everyone couldn’t be happier the two stars were getting the happy life they deserved <3

so here comes baby theo.....and the world kind of just immediately labels her as america’s sweetheart. her mom had some minor health issues which just meant it would be safer to not have anymore kids after theo, so not only was she this little angel to the public, she was also her parent’s little miracle baby ! lets just say she had some big shoes to fill bc of all the expectations ..

luckily no one had to worry abt her being a demon child JSBDJWDWJ because she turned out to be a very sweet kid ! she was a HUGE daydreamer since she spent a lot of time alone growing up </3 her mom had retired from singing and was now helping theo’s dad run the label, and the two of them were always busy looking for new talent to sign. she didn’t have any siblings and although she had a really attentive nanny it just .. wasn’t the same ?? so to #Cope JSBDWBSBDJW theo was always creating these super elaborate little fantasy worlds. it wasn’t uncommon for u to find her deeply engrossed playing barbies alone like she had scripts and everything

by the time she was a preteen her parents were both really pressuring theo into thinking about a singing career, so wanting to please them ( and knowing that it was something she was kinda into anyway ) theo said ok sure ! and that’s where.....things start to take a turn. since she was so young she had this very very clean, innocent, cute image ( think disney stars ) & most of the music she was making was used for kids shows or movies. she didn’t really mind it so much but she noticed that her creative process wasn’t really valued ? or taken very seriously by her parents, because in their eyes like that’s their kid you know she’s still young, she’s always had her head in the clouds, they just really didn’t think it was a big deal if they took control.

so theo put up with it, but the years kept going by, she kept getting older, and nothing was really changing. she still had a squeaky clean image, little say in the type of music she was making, but on the outside everything looked great. the public loved her, she was a role model for kids ( even though she was a teenager now ), it was all perfect.....until it wasn’t. when she was 16, she had a scandal akin to the vanessa hudgen’s nude photo leak, except it wasn’t as explicit ( not a nude, just a suggestive pic ) and it was way way worse considering theo was a minor.

legal action was immediately taken by her parents, but once something’s out there you can’t really stop it from circulating, so the photos existed, just not on any official media sites. it was traumatizing for theo having her privacy breached like that, especially because instead of talking about how disgusting it was that someone would leak those photos when she was just a teen, gossip sites & fans alike were too busy talking about how her image was ruined. since she’d had such a clean, innocent reputation, people kinda forgot that... she was an actual person going through life growing up, and that she wasn’t perfect.

theo, being the optimist she is, was like hey you know what? this is my chance to stop making music i dont love. after what was probably her first truly honest convo with her parents, they agreed she should be free to figure herself and her art out. so for the remainder of her teenage years theo fell off the face of the music world....

only to pop back up in the modeling one ! like most celebrities, social media had a big say in this. since reputation wasn’t something theo had going for her anymore, what she did have was a hell of a following still and two famous parents ( not to mention ... shes tall JSBDJWBDWJ ) she did maybe one runway show before deciding she hated that. tbh she hated any modeling that felt too constricting, which is why she never ended up doing anything for big names & mostly does stuff for foreign brands & magazines.

she liked how much aesthetics had to do with modeling, and to some extent being a part of shoots satisfied that creative itch she had, but music was always her first love. theo really wanted to go back and revisit it, but she was scared the public’s reaction wouldn’t be what she hoped /:

so following in her mother’s footsteps, theo’s re entrance into the music scene was an ep ( 100% written, produced, edited, you name it, by her ) she released on the eve of her 18th bday basically explaining everything she went through with art. it was only four songs + an interlude, which would become the most talked about part of the whole thing because it was snippets of various reporters talking about that photo leak.

the public had mixed feelings ! unlike with what happened with her parents, not everyone was ready to “forgive” theo. and since she hadn’t done any promo for her music, or for her career as an artist independent from her parent’s famous label, it wasn’t like she was making crazy money and getting all this recognition. but !! she was insanely insanely happy, and that’s when she realized making music wasn’t something she did for other people, just something she liked to share, so what did it really matter if she could be more famous if she was an artist under her parent’s label ?

cue present day theo, model & singer, although the labels are pretty loose. although her music is getting way more recognition than it did three years ago, she’s still trying to do things independently from her parents, and she still has yet to become a chanel ambassador or anything crazy SDWBKWKFW. because of that she’s kind of garnered this new reputation for herself as one of those celebs that don’t really feel like celebs, like maybe she’s just like u except let’s be real she’s rich and her experiences are NOT universal even if her cute insta pic talking about ~her feelings~ in the caption makes u think they are

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ PERSONALITY + TIDBITS !

not even gonna lie to u guys....she is baby. i dont mean that in a uwu shes 20 but im gonna weirdly make her act like a child way im not a freak shes just baby ! like i mentioned earlier theo was a HUGE daydreamer growing up, and tbh she still is except now that’s she’s older her overactive imagination can kinda get her into trouble. a good example of that is the fact that since she’s so keen to see the silver linings in life and the bright sides, she can neglect the bad sides of people and situations so things still fit into her romanticized vision /: this was the cause for many heartbreaks in theo’s life, and she’s still guilty of doing this although she’s trying to work on it !

very much the kind of person to treat everyone like a friend ( that means strangers too ) until you prove you should be treated otherwise. it takes a lot for her to not fuck with you, so if she doesn’t like you then you probably did something to deserve it /: she’s always had a curious personality as well so it’s really easy for her to connect with people just because she’s constantly fascinated by what she doesn’t know about a person. sometimes it can make ppl uncomfortable just how casually she can have a deep convo, but she just never had that filter where she has to know you for 5 years before she opens up about her trauma </3 you know how when bp’s rose and red velvet’s joy had dinner for the first time rose made joy cry bc she was talking abt her family and stuff ? JSDBWBDW theo is rose ... she’s out there sharing trauma deepening that bond day 1 of knowing you baby ! 🤧

despite all that she’s still kind of maintained this elusive air to her? it’s not like she does it on purpose, or like no one knows the real her, it’s more like just when you’ve learned one new thing about her you realize there’s that many more things you don’t know. it also doesn’t help the fact that she’s constantly romanticizing everything, most of all herself, so she’s really crafted this “dream girl” persona without fully realizing it. im not exaggerating when i say john green wants what she has </3

a lot of times people see her as naive, not because she often sees the good in people or anything like that ( although she does ), but because she has this overwhelming sureness that everything works out in the end. to be fair though, for her, things usually do. call it good karma, luck, whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is even when it looks like there’s no way a situation can turn out well for her, somehow it does. it’s a healthy combination of money, privilege, and a charming personality but to theo it’s proof that she’s right.

naturally.....as an air sign JSBDJWBJWBD she’s a huge flirt ! the media’s always linking her to someone because she really makes it seem like she’s dating half of hollywood when the reality is she’s just being friendly. when she actually likes someone it kind of turns into a huge deal like she gets infatuated with her crushes, swears she’s in love — and then poof. one day she wakes up & realizes she’s kinda over it ... until the next person comes along of course <3

hates conflict and confrontation.....and i mean HATES it to the point where she doesn’t even confront stuff within herself ( i.e. “negative” feelings like sadness ) until one day it all bubbles over and she’s having a legit breakdown and dying her hair red.

yes, that’s exactly what happened last year, although if you ask theo about it she’ll just be like aha what do you mean i just wanted red hair luv x

pictures like these ( click ! ) of theo when she'd be walking around LA in her school uniform used to go viral on twitter.

desperately wishes she was the type of singer ppl would throw their bras at on stage when the reality is she’s out there making some chill bedroom pop kind of stuff so rip that dream </33333

knows how to play the piano and the guitar, but keeps joking one day she’s gonna make an album and only use her recorder as the instrumentals.

has a white british longhair kitty named zoe.

is 100% that bitch that can only drink sweet drinks & fruity cocktails and u know what she’s valid for it !

if she wasn’t famous she’d be making slime. legit running a slime making insta, those were her guilty pleasure & shes so mad they aren’t that popular anymore JSBDJWBDJW

u know that post that’s like “i hate making tea i always feel so bad about throwing away the tea bag i feel like i should just eat it” ? thats theo

━ ˙ ˖ ☆ WANTED CONNECTIONS !

BEST FRIENDS: a power duo the public either loves or hates, ride or dies, that 1 person theo would drop everything for no matter what.....yeah 🥺 they’d be the person she’s closest to & vice versa !

CHILDHOOD / FAMILY FRIENDS: their famous parents were friends, so it’s only natural they wanted their kids to be friends too. just imagine the stories ..... the memories .... maybe they got along really well and are still friends today ! or maybe theo pushed your muse off of the swings ( she claims it was an accident ) and your muse never forgot and to this day they’re sworn enemies.....</3 or less dramatic......they just drifted apart and now it’s like hey we used to be so close aha thats awkward let me just smile at you and walk away ....

LIKE SIBLINGS: someone who sees theo as a sister, and who theo considers her unofficial sibling. most likely she’s gonna bother the shit out of this person as siblings do but they really mean a lot to her because it’s the family she never had /:

CONFIDANTS: the one person theo keeps finding herself talking about the things she usally keeps inside with. i think it’d be funny if both of them find it weird to do things like go out to lunch or shop together because that’s not what they’re used to !

ACQUAINTANCES: friends who are only really friends when both of them are wasted or friends who only comment heart eye emojis and fire sign emojis under each others insta posts but don’t actually talk much for whatever reason

FRIENDS THAT DATED: maybe things just ended amiably between them, or maybe it’s like an “everyone told us we should date so we tried it and boy was that the weirdest thing we ever did” situation. either way the outcome is they’e still friends <3

CAHOOTS: what is this u may ask ? someone theo can be in cahoots with. she has a dumb idea that no one else is likely to say yes to? she goes to ur muse. ur muse has an idea no one in their right mind would say yes to? they go to theo. these two are in cahoots !

BAD INFLUENCE: although that america’s sweetheart reputation is gone, overall theo is still seen as a “good girl” by the public. she’s not one to be in a lot of scandals so i think it’d be really fun if your muse is corrupting that ( whether they’re doing it on purpose or not ) and whenever theo’s with them she just somehow always manages to end up in trouble.

THE BIG EX: theo’s first real relationship, and first real heartbreak. everyone before them had been an infatuation, but your muse was the real deal. maybe the media ruined it, or they ruined it themselves by being too scared of their feelings to stick around, or maybe one of them was willing to try but the other wasn’t. either way it ended badly, and whether those feelings are resolved or not....thats a secret i’ll never tell x

SUMMER FLINGS: give me past & current ( or maybe even recurring ) summer flings where they both know it’s temporary but boy is it fun while it lasts. google their names together and you’ll find paparazzi snapshots on the backs of vespas, on million dollar yachts, holding hands in museums or sunbathing on the beach but by the time fall comes creeping in the romance is over.

HOOKUPS: friends with benefits and it’s not awkward between them, friends with benefits and it’s super weird between them because they may be crossing over into real feeling territory, one night stands / hookups that were huge mistakes, one night stands or hookups that were or are being kept secret from the rest of the roses for whatever reason, someone who leads theo on but never gets serious about her, or someone she leads on but she never gets serious about, her go-to hookup on a night out when she’s partying, etc.

WILL THEY WON’T THEY: a friendship that always teeters on the line of something romantic ! maybe they’re both oblivious to the chemistry / tension or maybe they’re aware of it because they get jealous when they hear about the other being with someone else… maybe they refuse to do anything about it because they don’t want to complicate things or maybe they purposefully cross lines when they feel that jealousy…..could be more angsty or it could be more wholesome depending on which way it goes 😈

ARTIST TO ARTIST: i don’t think .... we have any other singers / ppl in the music industry but i could for sure be wrong JSBDSJBDJWD but ! i still would love to have people theo’s worked with before. maybe if your muses has been acting since they were little, theo could have mingled with them back when she was doing music for kids shows & movies. maybe your muse is a model and theo and them have done shoots together before. maybe theo’s written a current song for a movie / tv show your muse was a part of. maybe your muse is a model and theo asked them to feature on the cover of one of her albums. maybe she hired your muse to act in the music video of one of her songs ! maybe your muse can also sing even though that’s not their main thing and theo’s asked them to feature on a song with her. there are soooo many possibilities that could be lots of fun <33

MISC: “we used to party together all the time until that one thing happen that neither of us talk about and now we don’t do that anymore”, someone who took care of drunk theo once and ever since then she’s taken that as an open invitation to knock on your muse’s door at 3 am completely wasted, “we tried to date but the paparazzi caught us on a date and we were too scared / sick of the public eye so we never got far”, flirty friends who say no i’d never sleep with you haha…unless you’re down?, your muse was theo’s first time OR theo was your muse’s first time, stereotypical happy go lucky and grumpy relationship where the grumpy muse pretends not to enjoy the other’s presence, enemies but it can’t be anything petty it would have to be pretty serious so if u want that drama....

that’s the end i promise it’s finally over 😭😭😭 i truly just ramble & ramble im really so sorry abt that JSDJWBDJWBDJWBDJW i tried to include as much info as possible to make plotting a little easier for all of us so lets pray this works </3 u can come message me on discord to plot @ seulgi ily ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ#8172 so give this a like if u wanna .... do that ahahahaha x

HERE WITHOUT YOU- A TOM HOLLAND ONESHOT

Not to be confused with my “MEETING TOM HOLLAND” Series. i heard Here Without You- 3 Doors Down and listened to it for like 3 nights before falling asleep and it hit all the right feels. still getting a feel for writing for Tom so feed back is appreciated. also for the full effect listening to here without you by 3 doors down helps.

~summary~ Tom is SUPER busy and misses you like crazy. this one is a little more angsty but mostly just !sadTom !sadreader but still vv cute.

i woke up to the grey New York sky.another rainy fall day, normally you wouldn’t mind. You dreaded the commute to work. you dreaded having to come home to an empty apartment yet again. you missed being held, you swore you forgot what holding Tom felt like. the pillow you hugged at night not doing you any good anymore. it’s been at least four months since you last saw Tom. from promoting his latest whenever he could, to him constantly back and forth between Vancouver and LA working on his new project it felt like forever. you would facetime when you could. He’d made many a promise to fly home for the day only to have his plans dashed. you’d made plans to go out and see him only to have his schedule change last minute. between the two of you constantly working you’d think you were never meant to see each other again. You checked your phone and saw a few texts from tom. He was telling me all he did on set that night. it was a night shoot so he wasn’t able to call me before work. he was so sorry.

“only a few weeks darling.” he sent as a voice message. hearing his voice sent a pang of loneliness through me. I played it again and kept it. I got out of bed, the floor cold against my feet, the wind whistling through the busy streets below me. I went to the bathroom and went through my usual business. i looked at toms side of the bathroom clean and untouched for the past few months and sighed. ugh, i hate myself for feeling like this. he’s not dead, that thought only hurting my heart even more. He’ll be back, i thought to myself trying perk myself up. A few more weeks. i sighed as thoughts of something coming up, preventing him from actually coming back raced through my mind. i ended up making myself sad again. I was allowed to be sad, my feelings were valid. it’s been four months. i thought trying to convince myself a i walked into the walk in closet we shared. Four months... wow. i thought back to the last night Tom and i spent together. We were at the premiere for A spider-man movie. We shared many a kiss in that theater that night and that night at the hotel we said our goodbyes with hopes of seeing each other sooner than later. now here we are far past later. i often wondered if he felt the same way i did. was he as lonely as me, did he miss me as much as i missed him. i had no idea how insecure i really could be if left alone to my own devices for too long. a text or phone call always coming in at the right time to save me from myself. i picked a long sleeve t-shirt and one of tom’s spider-man flannels he “borrowed” from set for me.

you worked at a record store in Brooklyn, you practically owned it with all the work you did for them. Every day off you got you had to fight for and usually ended up spending them alone and upset at ruined plans. The last four months have been less than ideal and it was all taking a toll on you. you used to love working at the record shop and now it’s just another thing to pass the day. you never knew you were capable of feeling this low because of love. you’ve dealt with depressive episodes before all with completely valid reasons. you hated admitting to yourself that you felt this way because of how dependent you’d become on another person. yet that thought alone made you so happy, and hopeful. you loved tom with all your heart after struggling to let him in and let it happen. you felt a full range of emotions with him, you didn’t have to act or hide or put a facade. as much as that could scare you it was ultimately more comforting in the end.

I looked in the mirror one last time as i brushed through my hair deciding on a messy bun because this weather was doing nothing for my hair. i put on a little make up feeling less than inspired to look good today. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a banana from the bowl sitting on the counter. i’d have to go grocery shopping later tonight or tomorrow. I grabbed my raincoat and umbrella and my work bag and made my way down the hall of our apartment complex. i approached the door dreading stepping out into this rain. i took a deep breath and swung open the door and opened my umbrella. The sound of the rain hitting the top of my umbrella kind of soothing. i had one headphone with some sad music playing. The one perk i love working at the record store was getting to borrow records from what we had in stock. i loved asking customers for their recommendations on artists they bought that i’d never heard of. it was always so much fun discovering new music, i’d send it to tom. I can’t wait til he gets home, we’d dance around the house listening to music like we used to. He was always a great customer coming in once a week to buy some new music for us at home. The manager loved when he came into store, it was great publicity. Once at work i emptied my bag back onto the shelves and went to my spot behind til. i had to pick our rotation for the day. i picked one of the albums i was listening to that weekend, a new release from the week and some of our customer favourites. I truly loved working at this store. We had polls online and customers would vote on their favourites run by me. i’d tally the votes at the end of the week. i hoped one day i’d be able to own a record shop like this one day. The slow tracks came to life. a perfect start to my morning. i checked my phone, i sent a good morning message with a selfie to tom knowing he’d check it when he could. i could only imagine how tired he must be. I loved how much of himself he truly put into his work. He worked so hard and he deserves all the good opportunities that come his way. i will stand by his side as long as he’ll have me as his number one supporter.

Tom’s POV

I woke up to my alarm screaming at me. i sighed. it was all a dream once again. I missed Y/N so much it hurt to wake up in bed alone. I picked up my phone and shut off the alarm. I had a few hours before i had to be on set.

“Good morning my love.” was what i saw, i opened my phone to see her beautiful face, i see the hurt in her eyes, the fake smile not working on me these past few weeks. i know she’s sad and lonely, it hurts me to know that i’m the reason for that. she’s at work, i wish i could call her.

“morning love.” i send back. “miss you.”

“miss you too.” she send back followed quickly by “What are you up to today?”

“call time in 2 and half hours. probably go out for breakfast.” i lied, i’d be in this hotel room dreading going out. Fans figured out the cast was staying here. i was on high security to and from set. not allowed to go out much.

“That’s good!” she sent back “call me tonight?” she asked

“yes, for sure.” i replied

“i have customers.” she sent with an eyeroll emoji indicating she had to go. I turned on the clock radio needing something to drown out the too silent hotel room. i flipped through the room service menu. the words hit me like a knife in my chest.

A hundred days have made me older since the last time that i saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same. All the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face.I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.

I dream about Y/N all the time, It’s been so long since i felt her kiss, he always cold hands, her arms wrap around me from behind when she wanted my attention. All her little quirks, our dancing around the house, The way she managed to make me feel real despite whatever was going on around us. i can’t wait to go home and not have someone watching me like a hawk, to feel my bed, my home. have someone who knows the real me. i love my job, but it’s exhausting to put on a happy face when your so tired. i’d done nothing but work for the past four months. promo tours, shoots, travelling. i haven’t even been to the UK at all this year. I sighed as i listened to the song some more. i ordered my breakfast and found myself listening to the song again and again. i did some googling and sent a text to y/n

“track 6″ and it was picture of the album. “listen to it at home off to set. love you will call tonight”

Y/N’s POV.

i was almost done my shift, I had a good morning, a few tourists had come in and loved the vibe of the store and even tipped me. i was almost completely distracted from my bad mood. my phone buzzed a text from tom. He sent me this song to listen to at home. i searched around the store knowing we had this in stock. I found it and signed it out for myself. My replacement came in as if on cue. i was now excited to head home and listen to the record. i knew of this band but never actually listened to them. i clocked out and made the rainy commute home. i was able to enjoy the sounds of the rain on my umbrella once again soothing me. i picked up a sandwich from the diner down the road from our apartment and made my way home. once inside i resisted the urge to play the song right away but instead opted to change into something comfy enough to go out grocery shopping later tonight. i cracked the window in the living room to let the soothing rain sounds in. i grabbed my late lunch and set it down on the coffee table, i put the record on the turn table and grabbed the remote. i hadn’t realized how cold i really was until i was comfy under the throw blanket tom bought my for christmas this passed year. it was now spring. the last real date i had with tom was eating at a rooftop restaurant in Manhattan just before new years after we came back from our christmas travels.

I pressed play on the remote and heart the sad guitar intro, oh lord. The words sounding pained, i could hear tom saying this and feeling the same way. By time the chorus hit, tears were streaming down my face, i couldn’t hold it in anymore. i let a soft cry out as the song played. i missed him so fucking much and i hated myself for it. He didn’t need to feel bad about leaving me behind. if he was as hurt as me, he didn’t need that added stress. the song ended, i pressed the button to play it again. I sat there listening to it. Tom was so sweet, he knew the way to my heart was through song. I hated that he felt sad about missing me. He didn’t deserve to be sad. Ugh i loved him so much. i wanted nothing more than to hold him. for him to hold me. tell each other we’d be okay. why does love have to hurt so much. i thought to myself as i played it again. i took a few deep breaths and composed myself. I picked up the phone and typed out a message to tom

“hello my love. how are you feeling? i hope works treating you good. i miss you so fucking much, but you knew that.” i sent it with a picture of the record player in the background. the song now beginning it’s fourth rotation. i listened to it once last time before spinning the rest of the album. i ate my sandwich, still feeling down but feeling better after my cry. despite the song being heart wrenching it actually brightened my spirits. i thought of the next two weeks without tom and thought it would be lonely i could only await what our reunion had in store for us. our love was special, I met tom after he rose to fame but we connected on such a real level it scared me at first. i knew he was the one for me from the start and he continued to prove that to me when i didn’t believe it.

i did a load of laundry, made a shopping list and quickly went out to the grocery store. i saw couples holding hands, men buying flowers, stealing kisses in the aisles as they pushed their cart. i knew tom would be calling me soon so i rushed home. “on my way back to the hotel. will call soon.” was a text i got in the uber sending a small jolt through me. once home i quickly put the groceries that would spoil away, my phone on the counter, ever present in my mind like a ticking time bomb only i couldn’t wait for it to go off. i was in the freezer organizing the chicken i bought when the phone rang scaring ten years off my life. tom’s face shone across the screen. my heart racing as i struggled to answer it in my excitment.

“Hello?” i said

“Hello love.” He said his voice sounding tired

“Tom.” i said sighing “hi!”

“you okay?” He asked

“yes.” i said “just running about the house putting away groceries.”

“oh i can cal-”

“NO!” i interrupted him “i was just finished.” i said making my way to the couch

“you sure your okay?” He asked

“no.” i said hoping i wouldn’t end up crying. “i actually hate you for sending me that song.” i laughed

“aww darling.” he said laughing “ did i make you cry?” he asked

“yeah.” i said as my throat got thick and tears welled up in my eyes.

“aww my love.” he said sounding so so sad and that just made me cry even more. “i didn’t mean to upset you.” he said sounding sorry

“no.” i said trying to sound normal “it didn’t upset me.” i said my voice uneven” it just made me realize how lucky i am.” i said really crying now. “i- i was doubting myself again” i admitted “ a-and i wasn’t sure how much longer i could put up with feeling like that and it was scaring me and i just love you so much and i know you do too.” i said trying not to sound like i was outright sobbing.

“Awww darling. i hate putting you through this.” he said sounding sad

“no. i hate putting you through this.” i said stopping him. “the last thing you need on your workload is worrying about me.” i said

“y/n” he said sternly “worrying about you will always be my number one priority. you’re unfortunately stuck with me and all that comes with me.” he said “the only time i’ll ever stop loving you is if you ever tell me to stop.” He said “and i hope that i never drive you to that.” he said sound defeated

“tom.” you said “don’t talk like that.” i said through my stream of tears. “i’m afraid i’ll love you for the rest of my life.” i admitted

“good.” he said “hold on.” he said then suddenly my phone was ringing with tom wanting to facetime. i answered and saw his face, his beautiful eyes tried, his lips looking as kissable as ever. his curls a mess all over his head like he’d been running his hands through them. “you look absolutely stunning.” he said i looked in my reflection i had swollen eyes and a red nose, my cheeks were damp from the tears. i couldn’t help but laugh at his comment “i mean it. two more weeks and i’ll be home to kiss those beautiful lips of yours.” he said “play the song.” he said i reached for the remote on the table and pressed play, it came on. we sat there staring at each other listening to it. “oh the dreams i’ve had of you darling.” he said. a hint of lust in his voice

“we’re not leaving this house for a week.” i said to him.

“can’t wait.” he said smirking at me. just like that, i felt okay again.i knew tom loved me, i knew he would always love me. “i’ve been shopping.” he says

“really now?” i ask

“yes, stopped off on rodeo drive one afternoon.” he said “and all i could think of was what you would like, what you would want.”

“Tom...” i scolded

“don’t worry i didn’t go crazy.” he said “i got stuff for my mom too.” he said “ harry wanted a new watch.”

“tom.” i said disapprovingly

“I have nothing better to do out here!” he said “and i miss everyone so much.”

“i’ll book us a flight later tonight.” i said

“thank you.” he said. i yawned i didn’t mean to i knew he would pick up on it. “go to bed babe.” he said

“i want to talk to you.” i said sounding sad already

“i’ll get ready for bed with you.” he said.

“fine.” i agreed. i turned off the music. “we have some groceries to put away.” i sighed as i put him on the counter behind the sink so he could see the whole kitchen.

“place looks nice and clean.” he said

“yeah, theres’ no one here to mess it up.” i said laughing as i put some boxes in the cupboard. i turned to see him make a pouy face. “kidding” i said blowing him a kiss. two more weeks and i’d be standing at the stove with tom hopefully wrapped around me. i turned to put stuff in the pantry and was bent over looking for something and i heard tom

“missed that ass.” i stood up

“i’m sure you did.” i said smirking at him through the phone. i placed the last few things

“Where to next?” he asked

“brush my teeth and change.” i said

“oooh.” he said i just rolled my eyes at him as i walked into the bedroom and through the bathroom. i grabbed my tooth brush and started

“Brush brush brush your teeth.” tom sang through the phone nearly causing me to choke on my toothpaste.i heard him giggle as i was rinsing my mouth. i gave him the finger. and took my hair down to brush it. a few more flirty remarks from tom as i was changing and i was in bed. i placed tom on his pillow and looked at him.

“good night Y/N.” he said i’ll stay right here.” he said as i was drifting off to sleep.

4 days until tom came home,we talked every day leading up to today. He was busy busting out the few last minute days of shooting and finishing up what he needed to get done. He was so happy he was almost done. I was working hard to get things ready for tom over here. I washed the sheets, i made sure to go out and buy all over our favourite things to cook together, i had a nice coming home gift for him. a hoodie, A new pair of sweats , a nice baseball cap. everything comfy he’d need for you guys trip to the UK in a week and a half. i also had a case of his favourite beer waiting. you asked his dad to send it to you. i was all ready for him so now the the last two days have been dragging on like crazy and there was four more to go. i walked into the shop my late afternoon shift starting soon. i saw my manager sitting at the til

“did he not show up again?” i asked referring to our one coworker who was always dipping on shifts last minute. but then i saw him coming out of the back room with a box of records.

“i just needed to grab a few things.” my manager said as i approached the counter “can you get me the receipt book in the back real quick i don’t want to lose my train of thought” he said eyeing me a small smile on his face.

“k” i thought. he was being so weird, maybe we finally had enough for that expansion he’s been talking about for years. i thought to myself as i walked towards his office. i saw a hooded figure standning in the room. fear rose in my chest as i gasped. the figure turned the first thing i saw was the chestnut curls and my heart nearly stopped. his face came into view his eyes lighting up at the sight of me. i ran towards him, tears sneaking up on me. i crashed into his body, his arms catching me. my heart was racing, my eyes were blurred with tears.

“oh. tom.” was all i was able to choke out. it felt absolutely amazing to feel his arms around me, i felt safe, content, ecstatic.

“happy to see me love?” he asked holding me out at arms lenght “aww don’t cry.” he said his voice soft as he wiped away the tears. “i love you.” he said pulling my back into him, taking a deep breath.

“so, you can have the rest of the week off as well as next week.” my manager said in the door way clearing his throat.

“are you sure?” i asked wiping the tears from my face, pulling my shirt down. trying to look presentable again.

“yes, you deserve it.” he said “i’ll be fine here.” he said

“don’t get too used to life without me.” i teased as i walked over and gave shook his hand.

“wouldn’t dream of it.” he said looking around his office i’d spent one afternoon organizing. “get out of here.” he said “there’s a car in the back.” i smiled at him in thanks and made my way out to the ally with tom. sure enough there was a car waiting at the end of the block. i stopped and pushed tom against the wall. i looked at his lips and he looked at mine, his eyes darting up as he pulled my face towards him. our lips met all the feelings of loneliness and hurt and sadness gone now fueled by the fire in my heart and soul. recharged as we kissed in the alley. his hands wrapped around me pulling me close to him. the kiss felt like it went on forever yet i missed him the moment i pulled away.

“let’s go home.” i said grabbing his hand and leading him towards the car.

Here be spoilers!

My jumbled thoughts on season 4 and the differences now that we’re on Netflix.

Alright, I’m somewhat back to the land of the living after binging season 4 two times. I have never been this emotionally drained after watching a show/movie. So much PAIN.

Things I loved and other thoughts:

- That opening song! I never liked that song but this version I adored!! Those lessons are paying off, Tom flippin nailed the high notes.

- The focus being on the characters instead of the case. This season makes it very clear how much fox pushed for this being a pure procedural. I mean we knew that the lucifer team had to fight for every scene that had nothing to do with the case of the day, but look just HOW MUCH! Most of the time during s4 I even forgot there was a case going on, and most importantly, the case’s sole purpose were to enrich and advance the character’s own storyline. It felt organic instead of forced.

- The costumes. They all looked so bloody good this season.

- The fight scenes were out of this world!!

- More supernatural stuff!! For once Lucifer was allowed to show he is more than human! He has more freedom because Chloe knows now, yes, but he was never allowed to show his strength before at all, except for the occasional door-handle crushing or chain ripping. That car scene was everything! Let him be a BAMF every once in a while, he’s the rebel angel!!

And Demons! More of that please! Love the zombie-esque way they handled the possession business.

Also Lucifer starting that boat cracked me up. Of course, he can turn everything on. 😂

- Things like racism, police-violence and mental issues being acknowledged and taken seriously.

- The way the triangle was handled. After the Pierce fiasco I was very, very worried about this being another generic love triangle. Honestly it wasn’t even a love triangle in my eyes this time, because it was painfully clear the whole season there’s only one Lucifer loves. It was more about him being torn apart by what Chloe and Eve represent, and that was brilliant.

The women didn’t “fight” over the guy. All of the involved characters learned from it, and it didn’t end with Lucifer “choosing” either side of him, but with him realizing that he wants to be HIMSELF. That he shouldn’t have to choose a side and change for others.

- Deckerstar! THAT AXE-SCENE!! That was intense and charged and holy carp, all I can think of is: if she had wanted to push that axe down, he would have let her, wouldn’t he? He is vulnerable around her, and every time he chooses to be around her he puts his eternal life in her hands, and Chloe finally knows that. Ahhh! There were so many amazing scenes between them. Both their hearts got ripped wide open again and again, and it brought them closer than ever.

I also love how they keep playing with the fact that he’s vulnerable around her (the bar fight, him flinching when he slips with the knife before realizing Chloe is not there etc). Crying about the ending scene later.

- Chloe babe!! She’s back in the game! Lauren killed it this season, she was finally allowed to shine. Her post-reveal journey to acceptance was handled perfectly (I know many liked to believe she’s gonna accept and love him for what he is like two seconds after seeing his face, but that’s the stuff of fanfics).

I don’t wanna see anyone shitting on her because of what she almost did! Her whole world was turned upside down and she was manipulated in that vulnerable time, if you wanna shit on anyone, shit on Kinley. I’m so proud of her breaking out of that and realizing Lucifer ‘is who he is’, after all. The most important thing is that she didn't do it, in the end. And maybe that wine glass breaking was a bit of divine intervention, because the music being loud enough to break it alone would mean she’s at the very least deaf now. (don’t overthink it, I know) just rewatched the scene and saw she actually topples the glass over so nevermind.

- Lucifer finally found his brain again. I was getting tired of him getting more and more stupid and regressing for no reason. Also that dark velvety edge is back in his voice.. my voice-kinky ass is very happy with that, since his voice somehow got higher and higher with each season lmao. Oh and that scene at the end of 4x08 in Lindas office. Holy shit, guys. Tom ripped out my heart, trampled on it and threw it into the trash. The growth in the last few episodes!! And how is no one talking about the voices-in-his-head bit?

- My devil kink has been fed very well. Phew. Perfect eye-flashing moments, and use of distorted voice.

- STEP-SATAN HAS RISEN. Seriously that was awesome and cute. And finally some acknowledgement that he DOES love that little urchin too.

- Dan. Some of those scenes were painful to watch for my Douchifer heart. I hope he is the next to get into the Know… I don’t see any other way for him to change his opinion on Lucifer again any time soon.

- That whole Baby plot line? I usually hate baby plot lines with a passion, but this one wasn’t so bad. 'Aminidiel’ still cracks me up though. Still, my least favorite part of the season I think. Not a fan of Remiel either. That felt a bit wasted, probably because of time reasons.

- Eve. I was skeptical because there was way too much focus on her in the promos, but she is super cute. She also tackled some fe/minist themes that I believe has a lot of potential for the future. I hope she comes back next season, Mazeve all the way!

- Michael and Lilith hinted!! Very interested in the tension I smelled between Amenadiel and Michael, and more of Maze exploring the feelings for her mother please.

- The humor. It’s a bit darker, but still like we know and love it from past seasons. I’m still giggling over the “he got tired” pun. Heh.

- I am now more convinced than ever that at least one of the writers is very familiar with fanfiction, because some of that stuff was grade A fanfic material. Hell, some of the stuff WAS almost straight out of fanfics I read, and that I had never imagined to see on screen! I love it!

- The CGI was.. nice actually. At least the devil bits. So crispy. The wings were consistent this time and pretty good too. I’ve always been proud of this show going the full on CGI way instead of the lazy/cheap supernatural-way, as I like to call it (no offense, I loved that show back in the day), so I’m not complaining about weird wings and stiff movements too much anymore. I don’t expect Legion level wing fights ( https://youtu.be/Mp6aKCE3jSc ) but I do wish they would make the feathers look a bit less looking like.. plastic. A bit less feather-duster, at least - a proper look at real wing anatomy wouldn’t hurt. Ok I shut up about that now, I promised

- Tom Ellis’ new devil-bod. Thanks Netflix. But they didn’t overdo the nudity either, it was just right.

- Sex positivity! Open relationship! Bi! Yes! Just disappointed Lucifer still didn’t get to snog a willing man properly. What’s the hold-up? Once again only women kissing other women on screen. Not that I’m complaining about Mazeve or that Eve/Ella kiss. Damn, Ladies.

- THE ENDING. OH MY GOODNESS, THE ENDING. Final episodes of Lucifer have the tendency to build up and up and up until you think this scene HAS to be the climax of the episode, but it’s NOT. Because there’s always one more scene that punches you in the feelings until the end (and you know it’s gonna happen when a way too amazing song starts playing). And boy, did they deliver again.

I knew Lucifer is going to say something stupid the very moment I saw his face at the beginning of the scene. I could fangirl over Tom’s incredibly expressive face and eyes all day long, but I’ll spare you. I just KNEW, you know. Lauren killed it again, I felt every bit of pain and despair from both of them. I have never been/will probably never be in love in my life, but I imagine what I felt during that scene is somewhat what love feels like. It hurt, man.

A bit of angsty goodbye love-making would have had the perfect timing here and made it all the more bittersweet, but we can’t have it all.

Earlier I had the thought that Chloe probably feels guilty about conspiring with Kinley… would be cool if they used that next season when she’s going to drag his devilfriend out of hell. Also very much looking forward to some Hades + Persephone vibes - because it would be stupid to drive them apart again.

All in all I think the cancellation really was the best thing that happened to this show. I believe it would have only gone downhill on fox with the amount of episodes and all the restrictions and hiatus. Iirc, the cast themselves said they always felt like the ugly duckling there with how the show was treated. On netflix we finally have promo, freedom and a storyline how the writers imagine it. I’m so proud of this fandom, and I can now safely say that the month with barely any sleep was worth it (even though it made me kinda addicted to twitter, damnit).

I hope netflix doesn’t wait too long with the renewal - while I have no doubts we’ll get s5, I still hate this in-limbo feeling lmao.

Whirlwind Romance (Part 13)

Prompt: You’re getting married to Chris Evans… Everything in your life is perfect… Except when you break the news to your two best friends: Tom Hiddleston and Sebastian Stan

Word Count: 3125

Warnings: language, anger, angst, adult themes??

Notes: This is for @carryonmyswansong challenge (Double Season, Multifaceted, 500 Follower Celebration, Writing Challenge!): Prompt – You’re marrying the wrong person! Beta’d by @like-a-bag-of-potatoes bcuz shes amazing and @mrs-dragneel-stark-solo@carryonmyswansong for letting me brainstorm with them. Got this idea from @formyfandoms… Fic image made by the super bomb @mrs-dragneel-stark-solo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chris had finally gotten a week off from work. No promos, no interviews, no filming, no performing. Which meant all of your free time that you weren’t filming was spent with him planning. The two of you were doing well so far, solidifying the tiny details. You and Lizzy were going to go dress shopping as soon as Chris left for his next project.

But right now, the seating plan was being worked out, and seemed to be going well as the guest list being finalized, until you brought up Chris’s cousin.

“Why don’t we put your cousin over here?” you asked as you pointed to the template you’d made.

“That’s farther away from our table,” Chris noted, frowning. “Who would we put in her place?”

“My friend Tyler,” you said simply.

“From college?”

“Yeah.”

Chris closed his eyes and sighed.

“Let me get this straight… You would move my cousin that I practically grew up with, for your friend from college?”

“Well… yeah. What’s the big deal? He really helped me out.”

“My cousin is family! I love her. You had one class with this asshole!” Chris said, raising his voice.

“We lived together for a couple of months,” you reminded, getting annoyed. “He helped me pass multiple classes, he helped me out financially--”

“So? That doesn’t compare to family!”

“Fine! Then I’ll uninvite him! Would that make you happy?” you asked.

“Yeah! It would! I don’t want to waste money on people I don’t give a fuck about!”

You stood at the dining room table staring at him in awe. “Oh, and I’m supposed to care about your aunt that called me a gold digger? What about your ex-girlfriend from college that we’re inviting? I was okay with those choices, but we can’t move your cousin?”

“My aunt apologized. Why is this such a big deal to you that Tyler is closer, anyway?”

“Because I’ve been planning this whole fucking thing. You’ve literally done nothing but help pick a date, and this seating chart, and suddenly you want to call all the shots.”

“It is my wedding, or did you forget that?”

“I guess I did! With all the running around and calling I’ve been doing for this, I guess I forgot who the fucking groom was,” you retorted before clenching your teeth and throwing the papers in your hand at him.

“What the fuck do you want me to do? What? You want me to just quit working on films, on projects? Can’t do that if you want ice sculptures, and edible roses, and crystal chandeliers on every goddamn table in the room!”

“Fuck you! Sorry I’m trying to make our wedding nice and unforgettable! Maybe if you could pick up a phone or computer, you could weigh in on some of this, but since you never seem to have any time for me, then I don’t see how you get to decide where anyone sits!”

“Are you seriously saying because I’m busy working, that somehow it’s my fault and I shouldn’t have a say in my wedding?”

“I’m saying you don’t bother to help on this, and just expect me to do it all.”

He made a perplexed, angry face. “I do not expect you to do it all.”

“Oh, oh you don’t?” you challenged. “Okay, so if i just dropped all of the plans, you would take charge and take care of everything?”

“Yeah, if you needed me to,” he said with a confident nod of his head.

“Then why the fuck have I been doing everything?”

“Because I thought you wanted to! I thought you liked this!”

“I like organizing events, not planning my wedding solo!” you informed, exasperated.

“Fine, if this is such a fucking hassle for you then don’t worry about planning any of it. We’ll just call it quits here,” he snapped.

You slightly gasped. “Are you saying we should call off the wedding?” you asked in a voice that was volumes lower than before.

Chris sighed, looking down at his hands. “I’m saying we haven’t done anything but fight since I proposed. Maybe we should take a step back…” He walked over to the door, didn’t look back at you as he said, “I’m gonna go out for a while. I don’t know when I’ll be back.”

“I thought you said you wouldn’t walk away from me any more? I thought you said we’d always sit down and talk like adults.”

“Well I don’t think I can do that right now. I think I’ll say something I regret so… I think it’s best we weren’t in the same room for a while.”

As soon as the door shut, it sounded like a gunshot. Did Chris really just suggest the two of you should break up? All over a fucking seating chart? This was getting ridiculous. Why was this wedding causing so many problems between you and Chris? Before this stupid engagement, you two virtually never fought. You would chastise him for drinking out of his juice carton at home, telling him to use a glass. You said he watched too much football… But other than that, Chris was a dream to be with. So why were invitations and wedding bands making you two absolutely mad to be around each other?

The pacing sat in, and quickly you didn’t know what to do or say. You weren’t exactly ready to apologize, because you did feel like all of this wedding was on you. But maybe moving his cousin was in poor taste. But it wasn’t just the seating arrangements that had you two on edge. It was missing the cake tasting, and not weighing in on invitations. It was how absent he was in everything. Apart from picking a date, and giving you the matching color for the wedding, he’d done nothing else.

You felt like you weren’t sure what to do, or where to go. Should you call Chris and have him come back? Should you call Tom? For a brief second you thought of calling Sebastian, but he and you hadn’t spoken since the day you left his apartment. Should you call your maid of honor? Maybe you should call your mom. She was married, she’d gone through all this wedding crap before, maybe her and your dad fought while they prepared their wedding.

You quickly found your phone back in your bedroom and called her.

“Hey, sweetie!” your mom greeted happily.

“Hey mom,” you said, trying to hide the sadness in your voice, and failing. You may have been a fantastic actress, but your mom was a haven, she was someone who wouldn’t judge you if you got emotional. You could tell her anything.

“Oh, no, what’s wrong?”

You laughed at her amazing mom senses.

“Chris and I had a fight.”

“Is everything okay?”

“Not really…. Mom, did you and dad fight a lot planning the wedding?”

“Oh, is that what this is about? The wedding?”

“Well…. Every time we get together to talk about it, it turns into a fight. We can talk about work, or Dodger, or anything, and we’re fine. But ten minutes into wedding planning and we’re at each other's throats. Is that normal?”

She delicately laughed. “What’s normal about a wedding?”

“I guess that’s true.”

“Your dad and I didn’t fight.”

“Really? Wow. That’s awesome.”

“We didn’t have time to fight because we were fighting our own families. My parents were going through their divorce, so there was a lot of ‘I’m not coming if so-and-so is going to be there’. With all of your dad’s siblings and mine, we had to find a spot for everyone to be part of the wedding. I swear, if I had to do it all over again, I’d go to the courthouse.”

“Really?”

She let out a slight sigh. “I don’t know. Possibly. There were so many opinions on our special day. Hell, even on the wedding day, I barely saw your dad. Family and friends will rip you every which way to say hi, give you gifts, want to dance. I swear, you do all of this planning just to spend the day with your husband, but you never get to see them.”

“So you think… this animosity between us is just jitters?”

“Well… it could be. Maybe you’re putting too much pressure on yourselves. There are a lot of things going on when you’re getting married. You’re realizing you have to find a house together, make huge decisions together. You have to start getting to know each other’s families more. It can be a very hectic time, and you two have less than six months to throw this bash together.”

“Do you think we should push it out?”

“Do you want to?”

“I don’t know what I want. I think I want it to be the day after the wedding,” you mumbled.

“Well, what starts the fights?”

You let out a huff of air as you stood in your kitchen and toyed with the knives in your knife block.

“Well this time I asked to move his cousin so my friend Tyler could sit there, closer to us. I realize now friends shouldn’t come over family at the wedding. But that pissed him off. But i’m mad that he didn’t make the cake tasting, the invitation. He didn’t even pick a venue. Tom and I did.”

“Tom and you?” she asked, sounding confused.

“Yeah, well Chris was sort of indisposed, and I wanted to make sure we could book a date. So Chris just left it up to me. Tom and I narrowed it down to three places, and Chris picked it.”

“Sounds like he isn’t involved, much.”

“He isn’t,” you agreed. “That’s part of the problem. That’s why I’m so goddamn mad at him. He just expects me to do it all, then gets pissed when I do it the way I want.”

“Is he really? That doesn’t sound like Chris.”

“Well…” you started. “I’m not sure what it is. I don’t know why he’s so… distant lately.”

“Maybe you should ask. You know, dear, your father and I haven’t stayed married for thirty years because we don’t communicate. Just calmly ask him why he isn’t involved, and calmly tell him what’s on your mind. You’ll see, I’m sure it’ll all work out in the end.”

“You think so? You don’t think it’s cold feet or anything?”

“No, I can tell he adores you. I’m sure it’s just wedding nerves and the pressures of getting married. Just talk to him. I’m sure you two will work it out.”

“Thanks, Mama… I miss you.”

“I miss you too, baby,” she said fondly. “But you and Chris just need to sit down and have a little chat. Everything will be okay.”

“I appreciate it. I love you. Tell Daddy I said I love him too.”

“Will do, sweetie.”

After that, the two of you hung up.

--------------------------

Once you nearly burned a rut in your rug after twenty minutes, you realized you were going stir crazy and needed to get out of your place. You got in your car and started to drive out of your neighborhood, looking for what you weren’t sure. All you knew was you needed to get the hell out of that house and away from anything wedding related.

Part of you wondered if it was because, after Chris stormed out, Sebastian’s words were echoing in your head, and you actually started to entertain the idea that Sebastian would be better for you. Sebastian wouldn’t overreact this way. But you shook your head, chasing those dangerous thoughts away.

No, you’ve already been through this, and walked through it, Sebastian is not for you. You are not in love with him, you scolded yourself.

Quickly, you realized you just wanted to go to a bar. You weren’t a heavy drinker by any means, typically you were just a social drinker, but right now, even just sipping on a martini sounded nice.

You made the first right towards the heart of the city and within minutes, you found a bar. You parked in the lot in the back and came around front. You got inside, the loud music hit your ears, and you were suddenly relieved that something could start drowning out your thoughts.

You scanned the place to find a nice corner or lonely part of the bar to sit at, and just as your eyes raked over towards the left where the bar was, you saw him.

Chris was sitting there with a glass of amber liquid, his shoulders hunched forward as he swirled the glass. The sight of him sitting there alone, upset, it made you feel sad and guilty, but in another odd way, it made a smile spring to your face to see him, to be back in his presence.

Walking up to the bar, you weren’t sure if you should sit next to him, or give him his space. Hell, you weren’t sure if you just needed to turn around and not say a word. But then you remembered the words your mom just instilled in you -- communication is key. This made you take a deep breath and march up to sit next to him.

It amazed you how you got next to him, sat on the stool, cleared your throat, and Chris still didn’t even look up until the bartender asked you for your order. To which you gave him a apple martini.

This made Chris’s head snap up before he turned to look at you.

“Y/N? What are you doing here? Did you follow me?” he asked, slightly confused.

You laughed lightly. “Uh, no. No not exactly. I sat at home, called my mom, then I left the house. Decided to crash the first bar I could find and... here you are.”

“Sounds like you and I had the same plans,” he muttered before taking a sip.

“Mind if I keep you company?” you asked, nudging his shoulder with yours.

“Never,” he said matter-of-factly.

And so the two of you sat like that for several minutes, in fact, probably an hour passed before either of you said anything. All you did was nurse your drinks, stare forward at the bar, and not say a word to each other or anyone else.

However, there was very little tension, at least, angry tension. There was a static in the air that you two knew needed to be addressed.

Finally, Chris turned to you. You weren’t sure if you would be the first or him, but you knew you were close to breaking when he did it.

He let out a long breath before he said, “Y/N… I’m sorry--”

“No, no,” you said, waving him off. “No. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have moved your cousin. That’s your family and it was wrong of me to put some kid from college there.”

Chris raised one eyebrow and nodded his head to the side slightly.

“Eh, be that as it may, I’m still a fuckwad for not helping with any of this wedding shit,” he said, sighing.

Now it was your turn to nod and silently agree.

“So what are we gonna do?” you chanced, nervous.

“You mean about the wedding?” he asked.

You nodded, unable to speak. Maybe Chris really was just too good to be true, and he was finally realizing he didn’t want to marry you. If this was the case, you didn’t want to chance opening your mouth.

He sighed again. ”Shit… I don’t know.”

“Well…. Do you still wanna get married?” you tried, twisting your fingers around, toying with your engagement ring.

Chris’s face changed immediately from tense and agitated to soft and apologetic.

“Oh, honey… Baby. Of course, yes. I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have even said that stupid shit,” he said before pulling you into a hug and kissing your forehead before kissing your lips quickly. “That was just my dumbass spouting off shit. That didn’t mean anything.”

“Oh, good… good… Okay so if that’s the case… what are we going to do about all this fighting?”

Chris shook his head and leaned forward, his head resting against your forehead.

“I don’t know. I don’t know why we’re even fighting.” He leaned away from you. “I mean, I care about how our wedding looks, I care about who comes, and where they are…”

“It’s not cold feet, right?” you asked, trying to get reassurance on his confidence in the two of you.

“What? No. God no. I think it’s just… all the pressure from all my projects and trying to plan this. I want you to have your perfect wedding that you’ve always imagined, and the wedding I’ve always imagined, and making our families happy… But I don’t want shit like that to get in the way of us.”

“I don’t either,” you said, feeling relieved.

“Well, what do you suggest we do?”

“Well… we still have quite a bit. We’re both busy. So what if we divide the list? Unless it’s strictly bride or groom related, we divide and conquer? If we need flowers, you ask me what kind I want, and you call a flower place? We need music? You tell me what kind you want played, and I call a band. Sound good?”

“Sounds perfect. I don’t want to fight any more over this shit. You know why?”

“Why?” you asked, leaning forward, giving him a warm smile.

“Because in forty, fifty years, we aren’t going to remember how we chose calligraphy on our invites, or how we chose teal over aquamarine… We’re going to remember standing at our ceremony, our hands linked, as we stared into each others eyes, and tried so hard to make each other cry.”

This made you throw your head back and laugh.

“There we go, that’s my girl,” Chris softly admired as he touched your locks with his hands, feeling the softness of your hair. “That’s what I like to see and hear. That beautiful sound.”

“You’re a sap.”

“And you love it,” he said with a wide grin.

“We won’t remember where we got silverware, or that the flowers showed up late, or that the cake was buttercream and not cream cheese. We’re going to remember holding each other for our first dance…”

“Our vows.”

“Walking down the aisle as husband and wife.”

“Putting our wedding bands on each other.”

Chris grinned and nodded, taking your hands in his. “Exactly. I love you so much, Y/N. I’m so sorry I’ve been a shitty fiance. But from now on, it’s all 50-50.”

“Apology accepted. I love you, Chris.”

“You wanna get out of here?” he asked with a coy smile.

“I’d like nothing more.”

THE MUN WATCHES THE RESIDENT. And The Nurses Get Screwed (1x11)

Whole episode reaction under the cut.

Awww. Nic catching Conrad’s hand as he is leaving and them holding hands for a second. CUTE. I ALMOST forgot what happened at the end of last week’s episode. Super remember now.

Fuck Bell is on the surgery. Did he seriously just catch fire? I want to laugh but I am also super worried for the patient so it is that scared laughing. Jesus.

What Conrad walked into:

Lily’s family is suing the hospital. WHERE WERE THEY THE WHOLE TIME THROUGH HER CANCER? WE ONLY SAW HER HUSBAND THAT ONE TIME. YOU SHOW UP NOW FOR A PAYDAY? ( Okay. So that’s mean. Maybe the writers just couldn’t show them with screentime. But still. )

I love the head yelling at Conrad AND Bell. Fuck off, Lane.

OH LOOK. I WAS NOT WRONG. CONRAD SAID THE SAME THING I SAID. I like that Nic and Conrad are ...I guess ‘getting along’ isn’t quite the right word for it. But are getting close again. I like this. They both already seem to be doing a lot better.

I can’t tell if Mina is covering for Bell or if she actually means it.

Okay so here is the hospital investigating Lily’s death. Good speech Nic. FUCKING POTASSIUM OVERDOSE. LANE ORDERED THAT SHIT. SO IT IS STILL LANE’S FAULT. But I am sure she will deny all of that because her codes will not show up on any of it and she probably didn’t enter it as her order. I AM SO MAD. I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. Of course they were going to blame the nurse and say she set the drip to the wrong setting.

Camera ready? Awwwww. The burned patient is adorable. Yep. The hospital would be more than happy to drop this all on Nic and fire her. Small bit of cash compared to a huge payout. LMFAO. Devon doesn’t remember how to draw blood. I love Nic’s ‘...doctors...’ remark since Conrad also says ‘don’t look at me. I haven’t drawn blood since med school.’.

I love Mina’s little talk with Dr. Bell.

FUCK YOU LANE. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID.

Noooooo. Good job, Conrad! Poor burned kid.

OH god. Nic is letting Devon practice on her. This should be interesting. At least she is trying to be a good teacher. Devon you are a bit hopeless with this.

LMFAO. Nic bribing the patient with a frozen ice cream thing. Nic = the best. Devon is right. WAIT, NIC. Okay, Irving I do love you most of the time. But we do not have time for this. They are doing some really important business. LOL. Irving lost a bet.

Conrad going to Thorpe. Yes. But still, fuck you Thorpe. HAHA he called Bell HODAD in front of Thorpe and she got mad about it. Why, Thorpe? Because it is true?

OMG. Burn kid with the ‘NetTube’ channel. Fantastic.

....Is HODAD seriously trying to blame/shame the anesthesia guy...AGAIN?

Conrad and Nic scenes just make me happy even though a lot of them are sad right now. Nic sticking up for herself and also protecting herself. Good. Don’t tell your theory until you have proof. Good plan. But getting proof will be really hard. Fuck. And sticking up for nurses! That speech about being there for Lily unlike her family. Yes. Can we talk more about this?

I can’t stop laughing at Devin doing placebo things on this shift. That nurse is getting rich today.

Conrad saying he believes Nic.

Oh. OH. Now you care, Thorpe. Where were you many episodes ago? Where was the care when our DREAMER was getting kicked out and had ICE called on her?

OH LOOK. Now HODAD is blaming anesthesia again. Or, oh look, a slight twist. He’s blaming Thorpe for some newer equipment. And Lane sticks up for him. And he twists the video to damn Thorpe instead. FUCK OFF, LANE AND HODAD.

......Dr. Bell is the new CEO. FUCK. Of course he has. This was the setup the whole time.

AH. This is where that speech fits in. Got it.

NICE NIC AND CONRAD MOMENT OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL AFTER SHE IF FIRED. I need all of those scenes gifed.

Promo for 1x12: I AM SO READY FOR THIS. CAN IT BE NEXT MONDAY YET???

This show better get renewed.

Pro-Tips From Your Local Call Center Worker

So, I work in a call center, and I’m realizing day by day that people seriously have no idea how these things work and ya’ll are just screwing yourselves (and me) over. I am here to help!

First off, I’m gonna start with asking you all to stop being jerks to outbound (that means we call you) call center workers. I don’t give a flying fuck how annoyed you are that you keep getting called. There are real people on the other end of that line and you are being a real dickhead every time you fuck with us.

I have had people answer the call by screaming at me. I’ve had people answer with fart noises and fake baby cries. I’ve had countless calls where people either hang up the minute I introduce myself or answer the call and hang up right away. I’ve had people respond to me introducing myself by spitting out as many disgusting words they can think of and then hang up on me. I”ve had people answer the call and then just fucking leave the phone on the table so I can HEAR THEM hanging out in the room and fucking ignoring me.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY. It’s a DICK MOVE. I’m a real fucking human being and my job depends on calling you. It’s not MY FAULT that you’re getting called three times a week. It’s not my FAULT that you don’t want to be called at this specific hour. I don’t get to fucking control that, and a lot of times, it’s actually YOUR fault that this is happening.

Now, admittedly, part of that is out of your control, we’re not Allowed to actually tell you that what you’re doing is wrong (not that many people give us a chance). SO, on my own time, without mentioning who I work for, I’m gonna enlighten you.

Reminder that this isn’t the same for all call centers, but the one I work at is affiliated with a ton of companies, and it’s pretty much the same for all of us in the building.

Mistake 1: You just avoid answering the phone at all when you see us calling. This is not going to stop the calls. Every time you do that we have to mark the call as ‘answering machine’ and you get called back. This will go on for weeks or months, depending on the situation. We don’t know whether or not you’re ignoring us on purpose, so we are required to keep calling you. Moreover, we don’t know how many times other people have called you and gotten voicemail. We just see a name on the screen and a number gets auto-called. We aren’t pissing you off on purpose.

Mistake 2: You answer the call and then either instantly, or as soon as you hear the name of the company I’m calling from, hang up without saying anything. Again, this isn’t going to stop the calls. We have no way of knowing (except common sense, which our computers and bosses don’t give a fuck about) whether the call dropped or you just bumped the hang-up button or you hung up on purpose. We’re required to put you in for a callback. Even if you wait until we’ve given the whole spiel before hanging up, we still have to put you down for a callback.

Mistake 3: You play stupid games with us by using dumb voices or making us wait while you ‘grab a pencil.’ This shouldn’t need explained. You should know this is fucking mean. Plus, nothing you’re doing is going to stop us from calling you back. All you’re doing is getting someone in huge trouble because their numbers suck but they didn’t have a appropriate reason for hanging up on you and getting back to doing their job.

I get that there’s like a joke post on here about someone who made the call center person they were on the phone with sit there for like 2 hours or whatever, but that’s not how most centers work. I am paid by the hour, but I only make commission if I make sales. And if I don’t make any sales, I can’t just skate by on making my hourly rate because they will fire me for not selling enough. You are not giving me a ‘break’ by wasting my time, you are ruining my efficiency scores and possibly costing me my job.

And before anyone goes on about how call center workers are all scammers anyway, can you just stop? I work for a big name company and guess what? I make a lot of sales from people WHO WANTED me to call. I got a guy the other day who sang my praises because he was so excited that I called him at just the right time and got him what he wanted. Tonight I had a woman who looked forward and relied on us calling because she always forgot to renew her service and us calling was the only way she remembered to do it.

You’re the one who gave us your damn number (unless it was bought from a data miner thingy, which is a whole different thing, but don’t be a dick to those people either.) when you used the service/bought the thing in the first place, so stop getting mad at us for doing what we’re supposed to.

My job performance is judged according to how many sales I make and how many calls I made an hour. (The ‘right’ amount of dials an hour is like 60. that’s one a minute). I’m not interested in wasting your time or my time. I’m not out to get you.

Now that that’s out of the way, here’s how you get the calls to stop.

Solution 1: TELL US. I’m serious. It’s literally that fucking easy. If you aren’t interested in the service we’re calling about, SAY YOU AREN’T INTERESTED. And as a bonus, give us a reason? My managers are a lot more annoyed by 50 ‘general not interested’ calls than they are when I can show some variance and make clear that people are turning me down for specific reasons. It’s too expensive. You prefer doing this thing instead. Whatever it is dude. This will generally remove you from the call listing for that specific promotion or reasoning for them calling. (Which, if you have an account with whoever it is, you will STILL receive calls/emails about ‘account updates’ like you having an outstanding balance. Those will not go away, period, until you do something about it.) If you want to never receive calls from us again then ask us (NICELY DAMN IT) to put you on the Do Not Call list. We are LEGALLY REQUIRED (it’s a federal law) to mark you as DNC and not call you again (except for what I said before about your ‘account updates’)

Solution 2: Update your contact preferences! GO TO THE SITE. Most call centers are calling about a specific service that you probably have an account on, and a website where you can access that account. GO TO IT. If you can’t find it, google it! 90% of these will have account settings you can adjust to not receive calls. Hell, you can remove your phone number from it entirely AND your email address if you want. Take control of your own life.

That’s it. That’s how you do it. Literally those two things. Neither of which include calling me names or screaming at me about ‘you people keep calling me.’ Neither of which would take you more than like five fucking minutes and would save you from getting dozens of calls.

And sometimes there’s gonna be mistakes. I accidentally called a woman tonight who was on our dnc list already and she was pissed. But I don’t pick my calls. I have no idea why I got her name. It was entirely out of my control. Also, sometimes you keep getting calls after you asked to be put on the dnc list because you have multiple accounts. If you’re still getting promotional calls or emails after you changed your preferences, let us know (nicely) when we call and we can help you check to see if there’s multiple accounts under your name (from previous subscriptions or years or whatever) and we can add those to the list too. If you’re really desperate to get us to stop calling, legit just lie. Tell us it’s a wrong number. Tell us you don’t own the vehicle/tv/radio/whatever the hell we’re calling about anymore. That pretty much instantly makes us not call you again. We don’t want to bug people who aren’t our actual clients.

More pro-tips:

1. When someone is calling you with promotional offers, we’re supposed to offer you a specific package/deal. If you tell us it’s too expensive or ask if we have something cheaper, oftentimes we do and it’s a hundred times less than you would get if you just called in and asked how much the service/thing would be. We are promotional and everything is supposed to be Ridiculously cheap. But we can’t tell you outright most of the time. You have to ask. My center doesn’t even give bonuses for upsells, so I legit give no fucks about giving you my cheapest package, whether the bosses like it or not.

2. Don’t be so afraid of the ‘automatic renewal’ thing. It’s just like Netflix, guys, your subscription is automatically renewed so you don’t lose the service and have to call in every month. Take the promo offer, and mark in your calendar (or ask if we have ‘billing reminders’ that you can opt into) to call in and cancel your subscription. They’ll most likely offer you more deals and you can keep things really insanely cheap. Just don’t be a jerk about it. We want to help you.

3. If you do make a purchase and the person on the phone starts talking in monologues about what you ordered and how the billing works, please don’t interrupt, or if you do, understand that we might have to repeat a phrase or something. Those are usually disclosures we’re required to read to you, and if we get interrupted there are certain trigger words that a robot scans for to make sure we’re complying with our company’s policy. We have to say them or we get fired. I know it’s long-winded and kinda awkward, and sometimes we have to repeat them over and over if the account or payment method or whatever gets changed before we can get through the whole sale. We don’t like it either.

4. If you’re worried about a business that’s calling you being a scam (I once turned down a super cheap promotion on renewing my laptop warranty bc I didn’t think the person calling was really from Dell....they were....*sigh*) then just know that most (if not all) legit businesses will verify information with you where they tell you what they already know. Usually it’s your address. This info is what was given to us, either by you or by a third party that you gave the info to, who signed you up (Like when you buy a car from a dealership and they set up your radio for you, not like people who sell your data). We usually also have your e-mail address on file and we’ll read it out to you. You can often ask us to send you an e-mail (a customer agreement or something) to prove that we’re legit too and you can check right then during the call.

5. When you ask us to ‘call you back later,’ it’s worth checking if we can actually be specific about that. My system only lets me put down callbacks in general, I don’t get to pick when you get called. It’s a 24-48 hour window and that’s all I know. I can’t call you tomorrow after 5pm or in an hour when your husband gets home from work, or two weeks from now when you get paid. It’s also not going to be the same person who called you the first time, unless it’s a crazy coincidence. Now, other call centers might be different, so just ask if we can chose when to call you back or if it’s a random thing.

6. I really am sorry when my call is horrible timing. I’ve accidentally called people while they’re sitting in the ER waiting for a family member, or even a few months after the owner of the account has died or something. I wasn’t trying to make your life more difficult, I’m just trying to feed myself and maybe sell you something you’ll enjoy.

Please just remember that call center workers are people, we’re tired too, we’ve probably been yelled at at least once that day, and we’re not trying to make your life harder. Work with us, and hopefully it’ll make both our lives easier.

frostedulcers: How have you not fuckin murdered anyone??

So, I had a really great boss at GameStop...

So, fun facts about working at GameStop? We took care of the customer, but within STRICT company guidelines? If a customer was REALLY nice to you and went along with shit? You wanted to find loopholes. If a customer was a regular who was super sweet and understanding of you and your time? You REALLY went digging. That’s why people LIKED me at my store.

Because I was a really just manager and if you were understnading and kind to me? I treated you really well and would give above and beyond customer service. I called game companies, I called for warranties, I looked shit up the backdoor route if you were willing to let me do you and other customers at the same time.

People really made me feel good about being a manager there. I miss it at times.

When I first got hired on as a seasonal worker though? I had a guy walk in. Wanted to return and get a warranty replacement on his PSP. I told him sir, I can’t do what you’re asking. He gets mad “Well get me someone who CAN.” I give Jimmy The Look(tm) ...

Enter Jimmy, my boss... the store manager. Smiling “What can we do for you, sir?” Turns out he bought a PSP from us. Wanted a warranty because it was damaged. Warranties cover electrical or fucked up damage that isn’t YOUR fault. That’s any warranty for ANYTHING ever in the world. His daughter.... had RIPPED the back panel off.

Jimmy prints out and shows him our warranty policy, guy tries to take it. Sorry sir, that can’t leave the building. He gets outraged. YOU MEAN IF I TOOK THIS OUT AND YADDA YADDA YADDA - like as much as this website SHITS on GameStop? They’re not awful depending the store and who runs it? The whole game return price joke is funny but it’s also really annoying to me on a level because I understand the business model. We made money off used games. The incentive to BEAT YOUR GAME and turn it in for credit towards a NEW GAME was that you got like 70% of your money back?? You got like... $37-45 on a new game within the first week and with membership and promos you could get 15% more than that.

The business model is like that to fucking encourage trade ins, because we ONLY make money off used games. Benefit of buying used versus new was always if you hate it, you have 7 days to bring it back. Versus new; you’re stuck with it. You could WORK this system, if you didn’t abuse it.

I’m off track but man just GameStop is actually a decent company and has a really GOOD and smart business model? It’s just made fun of a lot because the way games depreciate in value so quickly, but that’s because we want used copies on the shelf ASAP when a new game comes out, to drive sales etc.

IT’S SMART!!! And I mean, some games are still worth a lot years later? I always don’t get the fucking mindset of people who make the jokes because what, did you expect me to pay you EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID for a used game?? USED?? Also, like... man. People who bitch about us not taking unopened games? Do you realize the theft rate turn around at GameStop from like WalMart and shit? Fuck off with that noise??

idk. Like they’re not perfect or WOW THE BEST, but I mean... their business model is smart as fuck and it makes me mad because of it.

BUT ANYWAY SO THIS GUY IS BUSTING JIMMY’S ASS ABOUT THE WARRANTY, and Jimmy is just the type to always smile and tell the customer sorry, and you know he’ll do what he can to help fi you’re nice and that was my first point. I loved Jimmy so much. He was such a GOOD boss and such a GOOD influence when it came to customer service??

The guy started asking WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT? YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY? And he just kept saying “No, I just can’t do anything for you sir.” and the guy left PISSED. I felt so bad and Jimmy just shrugged it off, said he would have worked with him, had he not been an asshole unnecessarily to me, who he observed being kind and patient and explaining the warranty JUST LIKE HE DID, and offering options.

Jimmy always in my frist few months, would DODGE CUSTOMERS so they talked to me, because I was the only girl in the store. I also kinda like set my dominance in my store because I didn’t take shit from people in terms of their bowl over opinions? I was fun. I liked that job decently. It’s not the hype it gets, and it’s awful now with all the trinkets and merch you can get there... but I really was a good manager and I got a sense of accomplishment working there and doing what I did.

But Jimmy taught me you can’t help everyone, and attitude is key when it comes to retail. Don’t tolerate tantrums and let it be seen as approved behavior. Snuff that out as much as you can, and do what you can without getting in trouble.

Jimmy was a great role model in management behavior. Until he stopped caring about his job. But hey, whatever man. He’s doing his thing at a different company and is way happier.

So to answer your question; I was trained to not give a fuck. I was trained to shrug and say “You can say that, you’re wrong. But you COULD say that.” and to point out when people are wrong, and what I can do for them, and assess how far I can go with the right attitude.

one coupon per customer, if you’re nice to me? I’ll do two transactions to let you use it twice, sure. If you’re nice to me and you forgot your ID? Sure I’ll give you that discount you’re applicable for.

Fuckin’ had a lady fill out her tax exempt form the other day so she could get a discount SOMEWHAT, saved her like $30. She was losing her shit. She said she never thinks of using it because she lives in bumfuck nowhere, and I told her well lets try and see how much it saves you.

Bam.

So I mean, I’m... really great manager material, I just don’t fucking care enough about a store of THIS volume, and a company who says the customer is always right. I can’t do manager shit that way. I like my company - love it even at times, and I adore my store at most times because they mostly get shit, but I can’t manager for it when we just take care of customers who wanna be little bastards about $3.

FA Cup Live Stream

Watch fa cup stream - ESPN Player: Watch live and on demand sports video online

Every single game televised is watch fa cup stream FS2. I missed it. When did Fox change it? We have contacts at all of the different soccer TV networks.

Are the commentators set for the FA Cup semi-finals? I need strea plan which game I watch at home with great commentaryand which game i watch at the pub drowning out the commentary. Unfortunately FOX rarely announces the commentators ahead ztream the game.

Unfortunately, no. You need to update your schedule for the FA Cup fourth round. Also Fox Soccer Plus have wattch boat load of games on the 27th. The Brighton v Coventry on Saturday 17th is on pm tape delay.

Plus, you have the ancient rule of replays. With Apple TV, you can watch a four channel, multiview of strwam games. I read the Fox announcement but I suppose there is watch fa cup stream a chance they could reconsider. Is there any solid news watcj all on what is happening with FA Cup rights for next year? Anything on the FA TV rights? Is watch fa cup stream a deadline to make the purchase or is it open until someone buys it.

Can not see it happening. Cost my friend. The Community Shield which is the curtain raiser to the new season which original site part of the FA Cup package is on August 5th.

No broadcaster has bought it. FA Cup is a TV provider nightmare. No one is interested until at least Jan even though it starts in Sept. Also due to the fact that teams are drawn together does not help advertisers build on strength of Wathc schedule.

EPL is fixed so you watch fa cup stream what you are getting in advance.

FA Cup live stream 2020/21: how to watch 5th round fixtures online from anywhere

Bein sports running summer promo with la liga ,league 1 and serie a wonder what would happen with fa cup now. But only selective games is a rip off. Please, is there anyway we could get to watch the competition all through here watch fa cup stream Nigeria?

Or is there any decoder we could possibly purchase to gain watch fa cup stream to watching all the FA matches? We have all fz channels that normally show all the soccer games but not this one! Where am I going wrong? Martin Shkreli made the business decision to overcharge for medicine.

Trying to avoid anything Disney for a while. I hope soccer fans tune it out and get it back on TV. Watch fa cup stream pay a very steep price to wqtch the watch fa cup stream package. It is a slap to the face.

I went looking wathc the FA cup today and just foun]nd out. It is a shame, watch fa cup stream disappointing.

Does ESPN really want more suscribers to bail on them? The FA srteam its wtream up its ass on this one. Following F1 to oblivion wwatch Not here folks. I ta that they did this for the third round replays, and they appear to be doing it again for the fourth round replays, where, for example, they are only showing ONE match today! From here on out, they will likely show any replays for the remainder of the competition. There are no replays from the 5th Round onward. Scrapping of replays at the 5th Round stage was schedule to be introduced in but was brought forward to just before Christmas All games, if level after 90 minutes will go into 30 extra time followed by penalties, if still level.

Just wagch cash for the networks,they should be showing all the cup games on regular tv. ESPN is a despicable group of knot-head suits.

2020 February 17-22 Planing Ahead

“I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.” French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal.

Waking earlier is enlightening. Eating at intervals and not binging calorie minimums has helped. Sometimes gym helps life, sometimes life helps gym. December it’s empty, February it’s capacity, and adjusting. Better weather, maybe I’ll take a lap around the block AM. Lats are tight, but didn’t know they reached so low on my back, almost middle curvature lower. Going to reduce salt and focus on gym fuel, whey shakes post workout, trying to cut. PRs are 2-3x, but BMI same, so my routine has to be honestly reviewed and altered, well thought out.

Mike O’Hearn talking about, bunk advice online, and how to ration meals consistently, the majority around a workout, and less afterwards, to increase metabolism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujPVkWo03cY&t=503s has confirmed my thoughts on the issue. I once saw some YT’er say ‘when you’re lifting you don’t want to feel it in your muscles’ and then he drew on himself, and now I tell YT i don’t want to watch that shit. If you can’t feel it, it’s cardio, a time and a place for everything.

Read “acidosis - an abnormal increase in the acidity of the body’s fluids, caused either by accumulation of acids or by depletion of bicarbonates” -- and now unsure if energy drinks are stunting ketosis. Hoping dehydration was simply resolved, but now knowing peri-workout nutrition, slow am carbs and green vegetables are good; and about to see how being legume free treats me, and metabolism betters with smaller meals, vitamin b, and taurine. So an energy drink, despite being sugar free, has bicarbonates/antacids to prevent acid-washing the muscles, a bazillion dollar industry. Maybe back to creatine/aminos/green tea, better nutrition knowledge, while pumping up and working out, but no more coffee.

Vlada Tabachuk - Startup Fashion Week

Startup Fashion Week - Vlada Tabachuk

Vlada Tabachuk is an incredibly talented designer, she is based in Toronto and will be showing a full collection of unique apparel at Startup Fashion Week Runway Show on Oct 25. She is an incredibly talented designer

DO YOU DESIGN YOUR OWN CLOTHES, OR YOU HAVE GO TO LABEL?

I’ve always liked to up-cycle clothes I already had to give them a second life but I rarely make my own clothes from scratch. I’m not really a patron of one particular label and I don’t really subscribe too much to trends. I like to shop around for items that I could see myself wearing forever.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALIZE YOU WANTED TO PURSUE A CAREER AS A DESIGNER?

I’ve always known this is what I wanted to do. My life has taken me on a lot of detours but I would always end up doing something fashion related. Once I made the decision to attend the Fashion Design Program at Ryerson University, I started to feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be and after graduation I just kept trying to start my own brand until my team with an investor found me and approached me.

ARE YOU SELF-TAUGHT OR DID YOU STUDY FASHION DESIGN?

I started sewing things when I was still a kid and tried to learn new techniques as I grew up. The DIY movement and creation of YouTube really helped me learn but I never felt that I could learn as much on my own as I could in a design program so I decided to get a degree from Ryerson University.

WHAT OTHER SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT?

I think the most important skills in any work are the ability to network, ability to multitask, and the ability to adapt. To me networking is how I get inspired by others and how I continue to educate myself in what I do. Being able to multitask is crucial because as a new brand I am always hit with multiple things that are ALL priority and nothing can be put off until later. Lastly, it’s very important to be able to adapt to any changes that have to be made to the original plan when issues arise. My biggest motto through the whole process of starting my own brand when things would not go according to plan has been “Make it work!” (Tim Gunn from Project Runway)

WHAT ARE YOU BIGGEST FEAR WHEN GOING OUT AND STARTING YOUR OWN LINE?

I can’t say there was ever a big fear of failure or disappointment when I was starting the brand with my business partners. Not to say that it wasn’t scary doing everything for the first time like registering a corporation, building a business plan, making big financial decision, creating mass production product etc. but I was never afraid of it turning out differently from how I expected. It’s rare that anything turns out how you expect so I went in ready to adapt and fail as many times as I needed until we figured it out.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A DESIGNER?

My favourite part about being a designer is putting on some inspiring jams, spreading a clean piece of white paper on the drafting table and spending the following hours/days figuring out how a garment will be constructed, how every seam will interact with the fabric, how the construction and complexity will drape and interact with a body, how the construction will affect the costs and manufacturing time etc. It’s at this stage that I really get to submerge into my own mind and play with this giant puzzle of sorts.

COULD YOU GIVE ME A DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF THE STEPS IN PRODUCING A COLLECTION...(FROM CONCEPTION TO THE RUNWAY)?

1. Come up with a concept and inspiration.

2. Do market and trend research.

3. Create a mood board that combines your ideas and what the market wants/needs for your collections season.

4. Sketch as many designs as are in your head following your moodboard as inspiration and consistency guide.

5. Choose your final designs and tweak them as needed to ensure they work together as a collection and that the construction of them will remain within your brand’s manufacturing cost bracket.

6. Find your fabrics, trims, and hardware.

7. Create production documents necessary to create patterns for the garments..

8. Started creating garment patterns, testing each one out in muslin and then in actual fabric. At this stage some changes are often made to fabric choices and designs in order to improve the overall appearance and to decrease manufacturing costs where possible.

9. Once the patterns are created, additional manufacturing documents are created that include a record of material quantities per garment, costs, and specifications. They are used for the brand to communicate with manufacturers, calculate production costs, and come up with retail prices for the garments.

10. Create and order care tags, hang tags, size tags, and brand tags.

11. Create double sample of each garment to use for photo shoots and promo while the manufacturer is producing the total quantity.

12. Plan and execute a look book shoot and create a stock of brand photos to use for social media and PR.

13. PROMO! Reach out to your network to share news of your new collection; create exciting and interesting social media posts; go out and be seen/heard; reach out to media to make them aware of this awesome thing you just did and get them excited about your new collection.

14. Get ready for the runway: model try ons, runway moodboards for Hair and Make-up Artists, start stocking up on thank you cards and gift merch.

( I hope this isn’t too much! I tried to condense it to crucial steps.)

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BRAND?

Project 313 Apparel is a luxury street wear brand that is heavily inspired by techwear through it’s use of fabrics, fit, and function. I like to create items that stand out through small design details and manufacture them in fabrics that are both eco-friendly and unbelievably soft to the touch.

WHERE DO YOU GO FOR INSPIRATION?

I find the most inspiration just wandering around busy the streets and observing. Toronto is a fantastic city for that because of the vast diversity in architecture, culture, people, styles, tastes, music. I got design on my mind and my mind on design 24/7 so it’s never hard to find inspiration. I can look at any object and visualize an article of clothing that reflects it’s vibes or aesthetic so Toronto is truly a never ending supply of inspiration.

WHAT ARE YOU FASCINATED BY AT THE MOMENT AND HOW DOES IT FEED INTO YOUR WORK?

I am currently obsessed with exploring untraditional and challenging construction techniques. I am a glutton for a challenge. Our launching collection called Order x Chaos for Project 313 Apparel features some complicated style lines that are unconventional for hoodies and tees. It was a challenge to create an odd hood shape that looks like it sits on your shoulders but I love how it turned out.

HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR CLIENT FEEL WHEN WEARING YOUR CLOTHES?

We want the Project 313 Apparel customer to feel like they are draped in luxury and comfort when they are wearing our clothing. It is important to us that our clothes inspire confidence and become an extension of self. I think there is nothing worse (clothes related) than being constantly aware of what you are wearing because of a bad fit, uncomfortable fabric, or restricted movement that’s why Project 313 Apparel provides style that allows it’s wearer to be free to move.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?

I would describe my personal style as “always in transition”. Although I don’t generally follow trends and on average buy only 5 new fashion items every year, I am constantly trying to reinvent my style through finding new ways to wear the pieces I already have. So my style is essentially a rotation of basic with a few oddly patterned pieces. For example some of my favorites are: pants with floral water colour print from Banana Republic, a men’s button up with ice-cream pops I found at winners, a Clover Canynon pull-over sweatshirt with interior design CAD graphic. One day I will fully commit to funky patterns but for now I feel like my collection is just not big enough.

IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHAT KIND OF POWERS WOULD YOU HAVE?

If I were a superhero I would want the ability to clone myself like Dr Manhattan (without the public nudity) so that I could do more at the same time.

IN YOUR OPINION, WHICH SUPER VILLAINS NEEDS FASHION ADVICE?

If I had to pick one... Doc Ock is probably in the bottom 10. His costume is just a bit boring. He looks like a middle school math teacher, stuck on primary colors, who also forgot it was Halloween so he pulled together a last minute “zucchini” looking outfit. His outfit is just not fear inducing whatsoever so he would really benefit from a makeover.
