By 1991, the late Whitney Houston had already conquered the music industry, scoring nine #1 hits, selling more than 50 million albums worldwide, and earning 10 Grammy Awards nominations (winning twice). And while she'd made a few appearances on episodic TV shows -- mostly playing herself -- an acting career had been something she'd had on her radar for a long time. It looked like that would come to fruition when she was approached to play the lead role in The Bodyguard, a film that had been in development for many years. As much as she wanted to land a movie, though, Houston almost turned down the role. When the movie was initially released in 1992, she said it was her co-star, Kevin Costner, who ultimately convinced her to make the film.
The Bodyguard is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

"𝐼'𝓂 𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅 𝓎𝑜𝓊!" pt.2
Tumblr media
Warnings: kidnapping, abuse, obsessive behaviours, possessive behaviours, unhealthy mindset, manipulation, The Grabber
(Y/N) had been saving multiple boys from the basement but was unable to help them escape because the Grabber had upped security in the house to make sure that none of the boys ever escaped.
(Y/N) managed to sneak the boys some food (mainly her own meals) and in return they told her about the world outside of the house they were all trapped in.
When she saved the most recent victim, Robin, however, the Grabber gave her a strict warning after beating her.
"If you take the next boy out of this basement, I'll fucking kill you! Do you hear me?!" Was his threat and it lingered in (Y/N)'s mind.
(Y/N) was terrified of this, even though she was almost always on the brink of death due to lack of food and the heavy amount of beatings.
But to be able to protect the other boys, she knew she couldn't hide away the next one, it would be the end of her life and in turn, the end of the rest of the boys’ lives.
But she had an idea about how to help the boy.
She found some old walkie talkies and hid one in the basement and kept the other in the secret room with the other boys so they could give the next boy advice.
Once the next boy was in the basement, the Grabber's brother came to visit, so (Y/N) was locked in her room, since she too, was a kidnapped child.
(Y/N) was becoming very weak and it took a lot of effort to move.
So while she was locked in her room, the Grabber would barely come to see her and deliver food.
He only did that early in the morning then never came back until the next morning, so that gave (Y/N) time to talk to the boys.
They were her first friends and the only connection she had to the outside world.
She had no idea what life outside of the Grabber’s house was like, so everything they told her made her so curious to what the outside world was like.
Bruce and Robin were her favourite friends since they were always nice to her and told her about everything in detail.
Bruce found it a bit funny even that she liked fairytales so much and would often tell her that she was like Rapunzel, beautiful not knowing what the outside world was like.
This made (Y/N) smile since she didn’t feel beautiful, especially with all of her bruises and scars but Rapunzel was supposed to be a beautiful princess despite being held captive.
But then (Y/N) noticed something after a few days, the Grabber came into her room more frequently with more meals, which made her think that the person downstairs left already.
But because (Y/N) was giving the boys almost all of her food, she became weaker and weaker until she could barely give the boys food anymore.
By using the walkie talkie, the boys were able to communicate with the new victim, Finney.
They gave him advice on how to escape and Finney managed to get out the door and start running but he then was captured again.
Luckily, by using the advice from the rest of the boys, after Finney was recaptured, he managed to kill the Grabber and leave the house.
The police entered the house after Finney came out and began getting checked on by professionals.
The boys had heard the snap of the Grabber's neck through the walkie talkie, so they exited the secret room, knowing it was safe to do so.
But (Y/N) wasn't able to move due to injuries and extreme hunger.
Vance carried her out as they all quickly left the house and encountered the police, who recognized them as the missing boys.
They didn't know who (Y/N) was but she was loaded into an ambulance and driven to the hospital.
She was kept there for quite some time to recover since she had severe injuries and was extremely malnourished.
The boys who she saved often came to visit and Robin brought Finney along to meet her once.
The boys, that were kidnapped before Finney, thought of (Y/N) as their saviour and soon Finney thought of her that way too because if she hadn't intervened, then all of them would be dead.
She was making a slow recovery as the police tried to locate her parents.
But they were struggling to find her parents since (Y/N) had no recollection of her last name or her parents, she didn’t even know if (Y/N) was her actual name since it was the name the Grabber called her.
Since she managed to recover before the police found her parents, Griffin’s mother, Ms.Stagg, volunteered to take care of (Y/N) in the meantime since she noticed how attached Griffin was to (Y/N).
Griffin and (Y/N) developed a strong, sibling-like bond and (Y/N) was very protective of the small boy.
But with (Y/N) living with Griffin, he did his best to make sure that (Y/N) wouldn’t hang out with the other boys she saved, and that he could brag about all the fun things he did with (Y/N).
Like building a pillow fort together, how she would read him stories, giving him piggy back rides and how when he said he had a nightmare, she would let him cuddle with her until he fell asleep.
The other boys were very pissed off by this, they wanted to be around (Y/N) so badly, they wanted to joke and laugh with her, talk to her about their stresses, make her happy but Griffin was amazing at restricting their interactions.
(Y/N) was honestly just happy to be out of the Grabber’s house and having the feeling of a family.
The other boys thought that maybe when the police found (Y/N)’s parents, they could have more interactions with her since she’d be around Griffin a lot less.
But those hopes were shattered because it turned out that when the police were looking through the Grabber’s house, they found two bodies, two adult bodies.
They managed to recently connect the dots and figure out that these were (Y/N)’s parents.
As it turns out, the Grabber had become so attached to (Y/N) that he wanted to make sure that she never had anything to go back to, therefore he killed her parents, so he could be her only parental figure, so she really would think that he was her dad.
(Y/N) would’ve been more upset had she known her parents but it was still distressing news.
Ms.Stagg took initiative to adopt (Y/N) since she was growing to love the girl like the daughter she never had.
Griffin made sure to brag about how (Y/N) was now officially his sister and basically did his best to piss off the others with how much he was bragging.
They decided to secretly find ways to meet up and hang out with (Y/N).
They set up little ‘shifts’ where one boy would distract Griffin and the others could hang out with (Y/N).
Bruce and Finney taught her how to play baseball, or at least brought her to their games.
Vance made her watch him play pinball at the Grab ‘n’ Go as he beat his records, then would buy some kind of candy for her with the pocket change he had.
Robin would take (Y/N) to the drive in movie theatre to watch horror movies, especially if she was terrified by them, because it would give Robin an excuse to cuddle (Y/N).
Billy would take her on early morning bike rides with him as he did his paper route.
But Griffin soon found out about what the boys were doing and was furious.
He didn’t want to share his older sister!
She saved him first!
She talked to him first!
No one else should be around her besides his mom and himself!
After he found out, he would throw a tantrum every time that one of the boys tried to get him away from (Y/N) then smirk at the boy as he walked away with her.
Griffin attachment to (Y/N) was like a toddler with their favourite toy, never ever wanting to it go.
This made the others frustrated but luckily for them, Finney is a genius.
He decided to approach (Y/N) and start talking to her while Griffin was around.
Griffin whined and complained but his efforts to get (Y/N) away from Finney failed.
She would instead scold Griffin, and tell him that she was talking to someone and that they would hangout later.
Once the rest of the boys witnessed this, they began using the same strategy angering Griffin to an extreme.
Griffin then began ignoring (Y/N), pretending she didn’t exist, in an attempt to get her attention back on him.
But the boys kept (Y/N) so distracted that she didn’t even notice, which made Griffin extremely upset.
The boys just loved her big and beautiful smile, something they barely saw while she was trapped in the Grabber’s house.
Eventually, Griffin's attempt of getting (Y/N)’s attention began working, causing the others to spend less time with her as she was trying to rebuild her relationship with her younger brother.
Vance eventually got the idea that instead of sneaking around behind Griffin's back or hanging out with (Y/N) in front of him, why not become allies with Griffin?
If Griffin liked him enough, then Vance would be allowed to hang out or even ask out (Y/N).
Vance never, ever told the others about this because if it worked, then he could have (Y/N) all to himself even though he did technically need to share with Griffin.
It was all a big competition for (Y/N)’s affections but who would win this contest?
The end?

Hi! How you doing? Idk if u write yandere (If u don't feel free to delete this!!) if yes could u write some soft yandere hcs for Vance? Have a nice day!
👻- anon
OVERPROTECTIVE VANCE HOPPER HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
hi hi hello !!! i do not write yandere things but i will write overprotective/protective ! thank you so much for the request !
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
vance isn't very good at handling his emotions in general so sometimes he's not exactly sure on how protective he should be , he just knows he wants to protect you
he cares abt you a lot which means nothing's happening to you. like at all
he's the toughest kid at school so most people don't even try
if they do though they're paying for it in the worst ways imaginable
someone says something even slightly rude to you? yea he's gonna make them fear for their life
he tried his best to keep his anger under control especially for you so most of the time he doesn't actually do much. they might get grabbed by the shoulders or thrown a bit but that's the least of what he usually does so it's better than the other option
when they test him however he's SERIOUS
pretty sure brady confirmed him to be a sociopath and that if you mess w him he comes back worse
so yea you're basically safe from pretty much everything
other than being an absolute menace to everyone around that he thinks might cause you an ounce of any kind of harm he's genuinely really sweet towards you
maybe not exactly romantic simply bc he's a little awkward (he doesn't get into many romantic relationships due to his habits of threatening people daily) but it'll be clear he favors you over others
he'll let you wear his jacket every once in a while just bc the happiness it gives you makes him even happier than you are (even if the scowl on his face doesn't show it)
he'd be hesitant to let you wear his choker since his mom made it for him but after a while he'd probably let you wear it while he could make sure it didn't get ruined or anything
anyway back to the protective stuff
he occasionally (often) misjudges when he's actually needed
someone bumped into you in the hall? they're now bumped against the lockers by their shoulders and being yelled at
very awkward conversation afterwards bc he'd try his best to defend his behavior
would make it up to you in some subtle way. might buy you a bag of chips a week later when you've already forgotten abt the whole ordeal
he's not good at apologizing like AT ALL simply bc he just doesn't do it often. the most apologizing he does is to his mom when he's at the police station again
his definition of apologizing after a fight between him and someone he thought was a threat to you would be him buying you something tbh
not many apologies through words
dude is horrible at communicating in general honestly
he would NOT be abusive in the slightest. honestly he'd be the absolute opposite
he looks very intimidating (and he is) but he loves being close to you and sharing moments when no one else is around
he's not too big on pda unless someone is flirting w you
then you get an arm around you and the other person gets a fist to their face
most romantic gesture you'd ever get from him honestly
if you ever had any bullies before you started dating you definitely don't anymore
even if you kept it a secret from him he'd find out somehow one way or another
he'd likely be a little upset w you for not telling him but he wouldn't take it out on you in the slightest
honestly it's all gonna be taken out on the bullies
he's definitely been dragged away by cops a couple of times because he wanted to protect you
even though he's not that good at communication from his side if you ever stated his overprotective behavior bothered you he'd try his best to fix it
of course he'd still let his anger control him every once in a while but most of the time he'd ask you for permission to beat them up before he actually does
vance has a dude hanging from the collar of his shirt and just casually looks to you for permission to knock him out
very satisfied when you say yes
whenever you say no though he huffs in a disappointed matter but drops him n just walks away grumbling
probably abt how you shouldn't let people walk all over you n he could've helped
still not necessarily upset w you though
vance would probably leave in order to calm himself down and take you w him bc you're one of the number 1 people to calm him down, his mom being the only other one
he genuinely just loves you so much
dude cannot stand to see you upset in any way

Feeling butterflies in your stomach is a deadly disease, which only occurs when feeling mass amounts of affection and love towards someone. The more love, the quicker and and bigger the butterflies grow. They'll fill your stomach, killing you, then flutter out by any means necessary. The only way found to survive this disease is to stop feeling that love.

u can make headcanons of the boys from the black phone yandere x reader having their first kiss
I'm back everyone! And hopefully I will complete more requests!
Yandere Black Phone Boys reactions to being their darling's first kiss:
Tumblr media
Warnings: Kidnapping mentions, manipulation, degradation, dub-con/non-con (not sex but still non-con and dub-con), delusions, unhealthy behaviour, unhealthily mindsets, mentions of death, mentions of violence, mentions of murder, DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT
Finney Blake:
Tumblr media
Free will:
Finney would be over the moon if his darling would kiss him out of their own free will! And being their first kiss too? He’s never been happier! He will cling out his darling, always doing things for them in exchange for kisses. He becomes so giddy every time his darling kisses him, whether it be on the lips or anywhere on the face.
Kidnapping/manipulation:
Less excited over the kiss since he knows his darling was coerced into it. Will still be very happy knowing he’s his darling first kiss and will often coerce them into giving him more kisses which may begin to enable a delusion of his darling being in love with him.
Robin Arellano:
Tumblr media
Free will:
He had no doubt in his mind that his darling would kiss him out of their free will, after all, he’s been so kind to them. And his darling still doesn’t know about how Robin may have “gotten rid of” a few people in their life. He would be all prideful about being his darling’s first kiss, gloating about it then having his darling kiss him again.
Kidnapping/manipulation:
He doesn’t care that he needed to coerce his darling into kissing him, he’s still their first time and it is a definitely a memorable one if his darling is trapped in Robin’s basement or in a small shed. They quickly learn that kisses = rewards, so if they kiss Robin, he’s less likely to hurt or kill someone and his darling might even get a candy bar.
Bruce Yamada:
Tumblr media
Free will:
He would be all smiles, practically giggling with glee. He would cling onto his darling wanting more of their kisses and wanting to flaunt the fact that he’s kissed his darling that his darling holds at least some romantic affection for him.
Kidnapping/manipulation:
This action would completely enable his delusion that his darling is in love with him. He would be so happy! Again, the kisses = reward system, every time he gets a kiss from his darling he gives them a treat or plushie.
Vance Hopper:
Tumblr media
Free will:
His darling kissed him? He didn’t threaten them though? He’s confused and red in the face before he kisses his darling for their second kiss but he makes it more passionate than his darling’s initial kiss. He will have his darling constantly be around him when he plays pinball and when he beats his record, he’ll make out with them in front of everyone but no one’s allowed to look unless they want their skull pounded in.
Kidnapping/manipulation:
He would just laugh, knowing that it’s a pitiful attempt of gaining more freedom. No kiss = reward system, rather he will kiss his darling whenever he damn well pleases, they are his darling so he does whatever he wants. He’ll laugh at their pitiful attempts to please him in order to create an escape because he knows genuine affection from fake affection. He’ll take advantage of that and grope his darling during their kisses/make out sessions.
Billy Showalter:
Tumblr media
Free will:
He’s happy and smiling. Much kinder to his darling after that, especially when he learns that he’s their first kiss. Doesn’t really degrade his darling, is actually much softer with them for a while. His darling soon learns that kisses = less degradation/a softer and sweeter Billy. They use that to their advantage until they’re confident enough to tell Billy they like him much better without the degradation.
Kidnapping/manipulation:
He’ll just smile, no change in behaviour, no kisses = reward system. He’s happy that he’s their first kiss, of course but he knows that it could possibly be some form of escape attempt, so he doesn’t change his degradation to his darling. You keep their mind weak, their body becomes weak as well.

ive watched you change

i pulled off your wings
then i laughed =-=-= I was 18 when my best friend disappeared. Now, I'm 29 and working as a mortician after dropping out of medical school.
After all these years, I still thought of him. When beautiful unidentified cadavers with soft brown hair and dark eyes were delivered to my funeral home, I couldn't help feeling a mix of dread and excitement. It was sad, disgusting, even. But I missed him, I yearned for him.
My chronic loneliness and routine mourning was interrupted by a scraping at my door. I fed it, out of pity. Now this thing won't leave me alone.
