FK OFTS interview -

they are asked to say a little bit abt their characters/intro them

khao: i play ray, who is very a self-centered and lonely person. his family is rich so he likes to use money to fix his problems

first: i play sand who is a guy who has to work hard to earn money and make a living because his fam is moderate. he does whatever he can to earn money to keep on living and fulfil his dreams, which is to travel to music festivals around the world.

since you've already worked on 3 shows tgt, what did you guys have to do meet the expectations for the chemistry that you've built previously? how did you step it up for this show?

khao: we do homework like usual. mostly we focus on workshop of our character, with our director and other actors/actresses. yes, but the part where we get to act tgt also makes us comfortable. there's not much to change since we already know like the way he will act and how i will act.

since this is a more mature show, what was your reaction to reading the script?

first: wow.

first: amazing, surprised, amazing [in english]

khao: yes, but we can also feel the excited and fun feeling. the ful feeling we will get to work on this story

first: as an actor, when i read the script, i felt that the script is very detailed and good, cuz the character we read seems so fun, it makes us, as actors, want to jump into the fun they are having. is it confusing?

outside your own characters, what other characters do you find intriguing and why?"

khao: sand is an interesting character. because he's a musician, and the music he listens to is also the music we listen to irl

first: yes, this is the real story. sand's taste in music is totally khao's style

first: yes, and first wants to play "ray" role. i want to play ray because this character has smth that resembles me. first wants to play a rich person who can use money to fic his problems. i want to play a spoiled rich kid who stays home and is cool. [he says this so EXCITED and PASSIONATE]. im self-centered and i want this and that. i want it so yeah. in the past, all my roles are like life fighter, strong and i have never played a role that is young and rich. i just feel like i want to try being like that. okay, what problem do you have? how much money do u need? here's the money. how much do u want, write it on the cheque, and u go fix this problem for me. i want to try being a rich guy!!

actors often become attached to props/costumes since they work with them almost everyday. do u guys have any props/costumes u became attached to?

khao: there are three things. these earrings [points to what he's wearing]. these are mine. i bought them myself to wear it when acting in the scenes. [first is grinning at him] when i bought it, it felt like an excuse to buy that i bought it for work. then my watch [also wearing it]. same as the one in the series [first: its the same as the one khao uses in his daily life]. i went and bought it. and the rings [index finger rings] that i wear in the series. i like to play with them.

first: i have two. actually 3 things, that make me feel like i can be in character with these things. there's the guitar cuz sand plays it at night in the series. a guitar and the motorcycle. sometimes ppl wonder if sand is really poor since his mum is a gogo bar manager and and he has a motorcycle to ride. and the third thing is a fit vintage shirt because its sand's taste that in every scene he will have a jacket but inside he will wear a fit shirt

set locations often become an attachment for actors also because u are filming there all the time. do you have a fav set location?

khao: YOLO bar. its like a gathering place for all the actors/actresses. whether there's trouble or love stories it always happens here. its like a centre place of the series. (why does this remind me of the FRIENDS cafe??)

first: like he said, every crucial story that happens in the story is mostly always at the bar.

first: khaotung likes bars.

*if you could give ur character a theme song, what would it be?

khao:: Lets try. its my song haha

first: i came across this sing and i think this represents my character's mood. the feeling i feel in ep5. the song is "Blue Butterfly". when i listen to it i feel very into the character's feelings. [he plays a little bit of the song on his phone] im very into it, it suits ep 5 vibes very well

if your character had their own podcast, what would it be about?

khao: 'Review Whiskey'.

first: 'How to be Rich People'. what to do to become a rich person.

okay, khaotung! we're super excited that you're doing the OST for the show. we absolutely love it. what is the process, when u record the song, and what was your reaction when you got the OST?

khao: this song…when i was in the studio to record the song.. o felt that its a song thats like, how to say it, hmm, like a complete song. a song that i can feel and reflect the most since i have been recording the song. since from when i first hear it i the studio.

first: khao had a song before but every song he has recorded previously all had the songwriter's personality in it. but when khao first recorded this song, after he finished recording he said 'this is the song', he feels like this song belongs to him and reflects himself well because of the mood and tone and instrument in bgm, every detail comes together as Khaotung element.

khao: yes, totally.

were you like excited to get the OST for the show?

khao: very. i was very nervous and excited and also very happy that everyone likes it. because its a voice tone that i have never sang before. sometimes i might scream my lungs our alone in my room but [first: 'AHHHHHHH' while giggling], but i never sing it for the public to hear before and im very happy that everyone likes it.

first, for you, your character is a singer in a band. so if you could create your own band with the characters in the show, who would they be and what would their positions be?"

first: ray first. ray between guitar and singing. ill bring mew for the keyboard. boston on the drums. nick and top looking after all the props, and as our audience. chuem as the band manager.

what would your band name be?

first: yes i have some in mind but i think it sounds weird to say out loud. band name 'Chip Hye Leaw' (Holy Shit!). but we will play around w the sounds like c-h-i-p that means plastic coins or potato chips and 'Hye' and 'Hai' like gone and then 'Leaw' that stays as that. so it becomes 'Chip hai Leaw' (Chip is gone). there is a story behind this name because if we create this name ppl will be like eh? what? we will use Chip as our band mascot and if one day the band is gone, ppl will ask qs like "Hey! where has the Chip gone? The chip band has disappeared and gone, where are they? we want to listen to their performance again.

we have different couples in the show but your characters have the most intense emotions right. so did you have any challenges when you were portraying the roles?

khao: its. its not that hard.

first: he's kind of easy. not that hard.

khao: we're getting better at acting. its not that hard in terms of changing and delivering emotions. but the hard part is sometimes when the character's actions doesn't make sense. we have to try and understand it

first: its the same has khao but i would like to explain more. when we have to go back and try to understand why the character acts that way. sometimes in actor shoes or or as a person, we have different opinion than the character's belief. which it could me we think 'what?" (wtf is wrong w the subs here idk) i dont wanna do that here. why do i have to act like that? why? its a conflict feeling that comes tgt when i have to overcome because if i will act as that character, if i want to portray the character, i have to connect with the character's choice of action. which could have a conflict of rejection inside that i have to overcome.

any funny moments bts?

first: there was some dialogue we misspoke. and we were so confident. the script that was written goes like this: "so what? do you want me to make this uni a white area? you arent that good of a person". i misspoke this when i was acting. and i was so confident but actually i said "so what? do you want me to make this uni a green area? free of drugs and has trees growing?". i said the wrong colour. i was so confident w my poker face, like the thing i said was right.

khao: its a kissing scene. the scene atmosphere was super quiet. it wasnt like in the script. we were at the scene filming and were continuing each other's dialogues and we were closing in on each other and then…"pff pood"? and i was like eh? what? whats that sound?

first: at that time it was a filming where the recording was going on and the surrounding was very quiet, like complete silence and only us were continuing each other's dialogues. we were talking until one point where we have to kiss. our faces are very near each other. and suddenly, theres a sound "woop woop" and both of us stopped. and staring at each other's face like ??? one of the staff was farting. yea, we couldnt stop laughing and all the recordings we did for the long run couldnt be used since we didnt follow the script to the ending scene.

FAN QUESTIONS

if you could give advice to ur character, what advice would you give?

khao: pls look after ur health more

first: you can love others but pls dont forget to love yourself too.

for ppl who havent watched the show yet, can u tell them why they should watch it?

khao: cuz everyone will be able to relate w the character no matter which character cuz every character in this story is somebody out there or someone whom we may have met in our lives before. or some experiences that u might have faced before will be similar. this drama might remind u of some of the moments in your life. both nostalgic or sad or bad moments. something that might or could be a life lesson.

[thebadtimewolf]

a reminder for any of my oc backgrounds for @thebadtimewolf and @themadvigilantist :

under the cut is unrelated dont look at it

do you know how many poc versions of canon or oc related muses i have seen jumped so many new refurbished accounts that they just straight up deactivated due to the lack of attention? lack of interest? not so much a peep or whisper but the second u put up a billie or david suddenly they appear in troves. so in case ur wondering: yes all of them are poc - @themadvigilantist and @thebadtimewolf were supposed to black.

even now, it is glaringly obvious that because the dr's first face isnt a old yt man but a young black female child and ppl discrediting it by using bad writing as an excuse. it isn't bad writing, u were conditioned to only accept old yt man as default and now that the first default face is actually a black girl (sidebar: who favors the actress that plays disney's ruby bridges which like gosh i mean its been a while! hope shes doing well); suddenly the loud and wrong opinion of toxic fans are suddenly always correct. the dr is canonically a poc now and now? suddenly oh i dont count the timeless child - ncuti is 14 ladadadee i hate being indirectly told that i easily fell into racism even tho i am outwardly not one so its not my fault its the writing. even tho this is coming from the same ppl who are flanderizing tenrose and getting huffy that others see it - find fault in it that actually makes it human than their preconceived notion of conservative/tory human - and call it out for what it is.

i mean gosh i wonder what wouldve happened is sacha doctor was forced to regenerate and he turned to ncuti. no proper bye from 13, no proper last words. i know what the headlines wouldve been because yall predictable just like how yall reacted to martha first apoearence is exactly how yall be reacting that reflects within the rp community. It shows that you are better off watching grass grow and licking plaster off walls.

anyway all this is to say if you dont know how to rp with poc muses you're better off not rping at all. my muses are a walking code switch that stays on because the second its off, everyone goes away.

Ok so i just read ur jhope fic with actress!reader where they do the ‘jhope on the street’ tiktok challenge and i was wondering if u could do the same with jimin and his ‘like crazy’ challenge??

Yes I can do this 😊

[lowkeyorloki]

hi phoebe anon again! hahahah okay i have so many opinions on the lorde thing you have no idea but most of them end up boiling down to some form of “shut the hell up none of you know what ur talking about!!!!!!!” or “keep my wife’s name out ur fucking mouth”. LMAO

like 1) why are you guys just now circulating these videos as if the melodrama tour didn’t happen 3 years ago, 2) the people being like “imagine paying to go to a concert just to have the singer shush you” ...guys it was literally for 30 seconds at the end of a very dramatic song. you guys the album is called Melodrama i need you to understand this. please. this is not like a routine thing that she does. she is so sweet at her concerts and is very appreciative. and 3) the people that aren’t her fans being so offended by it (the ones making the most jokes about it) are making me so 😭😭😭😭 like we all know she’s a little bit weird!!! and that maybe it was a bit over the top!! and that’s okay!! like i think famous people are a little weird sometimes! i love you for saying that the crowds singing at concerts are annoying though that’s SO valid lmao

sorry i am totally rambling but this just reminds me of this one tweet that was like “Phoebe Bridgers is allowed to be annoying on twitter because she wrote motion sickness. the same cannot be said for the rest of you.” and like. yeah when you (not you, you know what i mean lol) make albums as good as Pure Heroine and Melodrama then maybe you’ll be permitted to make fun of her.

long story short these people need to leave my wife alone i had like five people ask me “omg did she shush you🤪” when i told them i went to see her and it just makes me really sad that that’s all people think of her now😭😭😭 idk how it got so out of hand lmao

also i actually haven’t seen Juno! but it’s been on my watchlist forever and i’ve heard it’s really great so i will definitely be watching it when i get the chance❤️ anyway goodbye i’m sorry that was such a long response that im sure you did not want lol

Yes to all of this! Also not to harp on my prev. point but "imagine paying to go to a concert just to have the singer shush you” okay imagine going to a concert only to not be able to hear the person you paid a gross amount of money to see only to be unable to hear them because of a tone deaf and flat audience???

i've also seen a bunch of viral tiktoks of people saying they don't care she shushed the crowd they just care that lorde 'sounds bad.' it gave me flashbacks to when i was a theatre kid in high school (gross) and everyone in the plays with me would judge broadway performers for not being perfect all the time.... like.... we were 16 and the people who were so vocal about criticizing the actors weren't getting more than ensemble in a high school production and i always just wondered where they thought they got the credibility to shit on people's careers. i have such a vivid memory of this one girl saying she hated the "good for you" number from dear evan hansen because dierctors "would force whatever actress playing evan's mom to try to sound like alanis morissette". girl what. they're just sounding angry lmao emoting anger can only be so unique. i know that gets into iffy territory of "if you don't have (x) you can't have an opinion of (x)" but i feel like with something like talent and voices it's fine to look at a bunch of 16-23 year olds who have decided they can hit whistle notes and tell them they might not have a single clue what they're talking about, lmao. lorde puts on a performance much more than she just... sings her hits. her "'''bad''''' singing is part of that. like you alluded to... lorde wrote pure heroine/melodrama and she has a record deal and we don't, so... :)

lmao i bet we sound crazy to everyone reading this but this is exactly why i left acting and singing it's just not enjoyable and even if you find someone who isn't balls to the wall judgmental they're obnoxious. in my shakespeares studies course in COLLEGE i was the only non theatre major and all the girls said that hamlet is shakespeare's most misogynistic character. HAMLET. like. miss ma'am every single male character in titus andronicus and taming of the shrew are right there...

ANYWAY ty for talking i was just SO curious what your opinion was haha! and you should totally watch Juno, i think it's on hulu right now. It's an early 2000s movie with Eliott Page and Michael Cera and tbh that should be the only incentive you need, lmao

#put this under a read more bc idk if anyone cares abt my thoughts lol #ask #phoebe anon

[nanamisflowerfield]

Saw ur headcanons and loved them 🥰 I was wondering if you could do the same for tasuku, tsumugi, and tenma with a s/o who is a musical theater actress?

Thank you! (*´꒳`*) and here you have them!~ Hopefully they are good (//∇//)

Stay safe and have a wonderful day!

A3! x Reader - Headcanon

⚽ He is very proud to be your boyfriend. You are a great actress and singer. Everything you do is for him pretty much perfect. If you would be an athlete like him, it would be even more better!

⚽ Tasuku would always help you! You have a few problems with a scene? Hell yeah, he will be there to help you! He can be a little bit strict, because acting is his passion, but you have to forgive him, if he goes all “No no no. Do it differently! Stay like that, nooo, do this. Why are you doing this so weird, (y/n)????” But he will still love you, even thought some might not see it, when he reacts like this…

⚽ “So, if there is a singing part, do you help (y/n) with it? Do you sing the other one’s part then?” Yes. Yes, he did it so many times and would do it thousands of times, just to help his dear beloved.

⚽ You two always visit each other’s plays, always staring whenever one is on the stage. And later, you will talk about the play, what one did good or bad!

⚽ Our dear Tasuku often pats your head, whenever you ask him if you did great out there. He will always be proud of you and even brag sometimes, that you are his.

⚽ He will totally blush and not know how to react, if somebody teases him about the dream actor couple, but he will agree to them. You two were made for each other!

❄️ “(Y/N)! You were great out there! Here, it’s for you. I hope that you like them.” Like on the first day, you two met each other, Tsumugi will always give you flowers after your plays. Many of them even had great meanings! On the first day, you got daisies. They meant that he had a crush on you. Later after your first date, you got carnations, which symbolize deep love and affection and right now on this day, he gives you roses. Love.

❄️ After knowing each other for quiet some time, you learnt more about flowers and them as symbols or meanings and even read through some homepages to know it better, which made Tsumugi love you more and more. He will always be there, whenever you need his help.

❄️ So that’s why he will always help you with your script and vice versa. He often had to help you with the female roles, which made him a bit upset, but… we all know that he can play women wonderfully…

❄️ “You were sooo great, Tsumu!” – “Ohh, I’m not so sure there… Tasuku said that I’ve got a bit nearvous.” – “Mhm, like me on my first day at the musical theater. I was so nervous singing in front of so many people…”

❄️ He will always compliment your acting and singing voice! No matter what you say, it will always be beautiful for the great winter troupe leader!

🌻 “I will never be as good as you.” That’s what Tenma often hear from you, but he always interrupted your rambling. Sometimes with a shy and fast kiss on the lips and other times with his palm he shoves onto your face until you try to stop the famous actor.

🌻 To him, you were perfect. He would always brag on interviews and to his friends, what a great singer and musical actress you are!

🌻 He will, like Tsumugi and Tasuku, help you with your script, movements and singing. There are many voice training sessions and other things, the both of you do, when you had your omg-I-have-a-role-but-need-help-dates.

🌻 Will he be there during your plays? Hell yeah, first row and totally “undercover”, which makes Yuki laugh at him so much. “Sunglasses and a baseball cap? Are you serious?? Idiot.” It even makes you sweat drop at Tenma. He was sooo showing off his celebrity… But you still loved him.

🌻 During his first time, watching your play, he needed the help of his troupe members to find the place you were having your play at. “I’m so sorry for being 10 minutes late, (y/n)…” – “Oh, don’t worry, Tenten… I know that you always get lost.” Since that day, Yuki and you are best friends. “B-But you were great! You always are. And… Beautiful… Your voice sounds so great… I really liked the musical…”

[nicomrade]

🥰 pls go off about miss fujiko....

you know that thing that goes "everything is sex except sex which is power"? miss fujiko understood that perfectly and she knows love is control and she needs control over her own life. and i think her 'femme fatale' characterization and her 'business woman' characterization get to that same thing, it's just that one has her get control through her Female Qualities and the other has her get it through Money. she girlbosses gaslights gatekeeps because shes not going to be made to feel small/powerless (again?) and well, who doesnt want things to go their way. who doesnt want to be in charge. who doesnt like to make the law bend under their boot. who doesnt like to feel powerful, important, feared.

and i think ok so i dont have an opinion on her backstory cause i think it fits her a lot to not have any of her past really Defined cause, who IS fujiko mine? where does the liar and manipulator end and where does the person begin? is it even worth it to make a distinction? and its made obvious in the 3rd episode of her mini series cause here she is under a fake name and a wig looking after kids (fujiko doesnt like kids) being a Nice Woman Lady and she befriends goemon that way and then she reveals shes actually Fujiko Mine, evil liar deceitful manipulator etc and its like well . . . . fujiko no offense but arent both of those personas? didnt you show some of your true colors while wearing the wig and arent you lying with your hair down? arent you both the mask and the wearer? isnt there a middleground, a compromise between the two identities? arent you just buying into the misogyny thats been projected onto you? neither madonna nor whore etc etc etc

AND... ok i have 2 more things i wanna bring up the first one is really quick so she hums and sings kinda often all things considered right? in part 1 ep 2 shes introduced singing in the shower (sorry about that scene btw) and in part 2 she befriends nessie (!!) because shes singing and the cryptid likes it, theres more exemple of this kinda thing. so my little head canon is that her dream job/fantasy job/whatever is to be a musical actress? like shes happy being a thief/spy/etc and if she wasnt one she prolly would do something else but she leans against her bike sometime and thinks well thatd be neat wouldnt it..... Performing... doing her little songs... in pretty costumes... on a stage......

i was gonna bring up her backstory episode frm part 1 but i already told you about it like 3 times so ... im still kinda mad about how part 5 wrote her cause like yeas good explore her relationship w lupin pogger but also dont make it look like SHES the one left wondering about the others feelings. its like. eveyrone knows lupin loves her he tells her every morning and zenigata knows it and everyone knows it SHES the one sending mixed signals (queen behavior) with a complicated relationship with sexuality (due to using it as a weapon/tool like dont even get me started on how her refusing to kiss lupin CAN be read as her refusing to TRICK him because she uses her sexuality to TRICK people and its become so hard to dissociate the two) wtf was i saying. OH YE AND SO HER asking HIM what his feelings for her are is out of character and nonsensical he shouldve been the one to be like "hey fujicakes so u saved my life this is poggers and all but i havent seen you in 9months, last time you said you needed space from me and now ure just flirting like nothing happened? what the fuck?" and her arc being you know. . . . having to be honest with people for once in her life wouldve been way more interesting than putting her in a literal cage in a wedding dress sitting on her ass :)

BUT i dont wanna make it look like her whole character is tied to lupie they couldve gone w something entirely different too. what if they made her pass the bechdel test for once PLEASE give her homoerotic interactions with the (adult) npc girl this time please please please youre NOTHING

IN CONCLUSION: I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore / I just know that I'm harder to console / I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me / But the key is a question of control (depeche mode a pain that im used to)

#i deleted like 3 paragraphs i have so many thoughts about her someone please free me #her friendship w jigen is so important too. didnt even get to that. #anyway HI karten thank u so much ?? ?Q? ?QZ? ??ZQ ??ZQ i hope u like the fujiko opinions ... . . . . #ask #roublardise #lupin the third #lupin meta #fujiko

Hey kaz

Hey hi it’s me empress the real g

And I’m a hottie and very clumsy

I kin Oikawa but I also think I may kin Kageyama but I just want to be an Oikawa Hmmm

My favourite three characters are Kuroo Kageyama Oikawa and iwaizumi

I’m 5’8 she/her and I’m a hottie :3 okay so basically yeah I am either way too loud or way to quiet depending on who I’m around. I have like SEVERE ANXIETY THO and I will cry a lot (Omd whenever I hear an anime theme song that I’ve watched I cry PTSD SHABSHSJSJNZ) I like making friends, like I wanna be POPULAR but then at the same I don’t like anybody and I just assume EVERYBODY HATES ME (because im a hottie ofc) but yes also I want to become a clicnal psychologist I would become a doctor if CHEMISTRY WASNT SO HARD and I would become an actress if I could sing. My best friend has been in love we me for 5 years but I just ignore it because I’m a terrible person and I’m very very lazy but set the highest standards for myself because I am crazy. I genuinely believe that I should’ve been born into the royal family and I like to compare myself to everyone I MEET LITERALLY EVERYONE and I get scared so easily like when the toaster pops up I jump and I just read this fic where Hinata was like a villain or sometning I got scareddddd 🤧 I hate everything I write like everything besides (when they make u insecure part 5) because I don’t think I’m a good writer HOWEVER IVE NEVER ACTUALLY READ ONE OF MY WORKS BECAUSE IT MAKES ME CRINGE. Also if I was a love trope it would be “falling in love with a mafia boss” or “the poor girl falls in love W her millionare boss” because I’m BASIC AND BROKE abdvahhsjsksks

A FANCY DINNER DATE!

song - get you by daniel caesar (ft. kali uchis)

THE DATE!

-> kuroo is a business man; of course he'd bring you out on a fancy dinner date. before he left for work he told you to get dressed by the time he came back because he's going to bring you somewhere special. he picked you up right after work and showered you with compliments, while giving you kisses. on the drive there he just smiled at all questions you asked regarding the place he was bringing you to. during dinner he asked you about your day and listened while staring at you with the most loving gaze.

SCENARIO :3

-> after getting a text from him telling you that he was outside, you looked at the mirror one more time before going out to meet him. opening the car he looks at you up and down and smirks "wow kitten, you look gorgeous tonight!" shaking your head you take a seat "so..i wasn't gorgeous this morning?" he takes your hand and gasps "how could you say that?! you look gorgeous every day!" laughing you buckle your seatbelt "thanks tetsu, you don't look too bad yourself." "what's that supposed to mean??" he said with a raised brow. "i mean you look handsome, tetsurou" you smile before giving him a kiss. the drive going there was filled with teasing and more compliments from your boyfriend, and the rest of your date went wonderful :)

a/n- HI EMPRESS!!! first of all i absolutely loved reading your little introduction there PLEASE I LAUGHED SO MUCH,,, also i chose kuroo so i hope that's alright with you! i had so much fun writing this, genuinely hoping you liked it hottie! I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH MWA <3 btw ALL ur work is nice i promise >:D

#💌—it’s a date! #˗ˏˋ꒰ emp ✿ ꒱

[knifenymph]

hey lol this is random but I remember you saying a while ago that you dedicated an entire night to watching the twilight saga and I gotta ask .... what r ur twilight opinions ???? I did the same thing but for some reason afterwards it became my comfort series bfjfjdjdj I was going through a hard time ok ??? LOL

HAHAHAH omfg the fact that you remember this LOL i did indeed! it was almost two years ago when i was in spain and we all gathered at one friends house and i was the only one who stayed the whole night since i didnt have a curfew lol. i ENJOYED IT SO MUCH OMGGG even though i slept for 14 hours afterwards as my body rejected it HAHA.

i remember wondering how anyone could be team jacob rather than team edward when there was so little team jacob evidence?? don’t get me wrong lol i have a bias for jacob bc he is SEXY and i have a thing for 1. brown men and 2. men with long hair so he is the FULL PACKAGE along with the other werewolves. like the actor booboo stewart who was one of the werewolves? SEXYYYY. but omfg EW with the whole baby bonding thing???? what in the WORLD WAS THATTTTT. absolutely NOT lmaooo

i actually did not find the movies to be “cringey horrible bad” as everyone craps on them to be lol. granted i very rarely watch movies so my standard for if a movie is good or not is just if i like it, and the series was SOOO entertaining and rich i LOVED it. 

and GOD i just remembered the cgi baby???? WHYYYY. i heard that they wanted the newborn to look like the daughter actress but like ?? have they never SEEN a newborn before?????? AND newborns so little look like the kids they grow up into so they literally couldve used ANY baby for that. the cgi was SO unnecessary and SO freaky lol

one thing that i loved a lot was that none of the main characters or anyone died! i mean yes there was that huge scene progression where everyone died and i was LOSING MY MIND during that part, but i love how in reality everyone was okay. i hate when authors/movies kill off characters ~just for the drama.~ so extra.

overall... i loved it lol. i dont think i’ll ever watch it again bc i dont watch movies in general, but i have no regrets

#twilight #HAHAHA its so funny that you remember that #op #asks

[roadtohadestown]

hadestown thoughts n’ things song-by-song

Y’ALL KNOW I SAW HADESTOWN A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND I GOT SOME THINGS TO SAY !!! these aren’t gonna be me fully describing how the songs play out (a couple times yes, but not from start to finish), but are me pointing out little things that i found very memorable or funny or were little “OH SHIT” kinda moments.

(i’ll also be referring to the characters by their actors every now and then)

occasionally i’ll refer to the fates individually by their actual names (clotho, lachesis, atropos); if you don’t know which actresses play who:

yvette -> clotho // kay → lachesis // jewelle -> atropos

———

ACT 1

road to hell:

the cast came out all at once and i swear my heart JUMPED when i saw them enter and wave at the audience !!!!

andré came in walking slowly over to his usual spot on stage right. while walking, he was holding the hands of some of the cast who were sitting at the tables.

the fates snapping a sassy look at hermes when he says “three old women all dressed the same.”

introducing orpheus, orpheus is literally a happy ball of sunshine running onstage, holding a red rag and a crate and starts wiping down the tables.

when hermes introduces eurydice, orpheus and eurydice bump into each other at the center of the stage. they stare at one another for the rest of road to hell and it’s so so cute and enchanting. sitting on orchestra left, i was just watching orpheus’s face, so awestruck and in love.

any way the wind blows:

fuck i am so gay for the fates

eurydice’s “anybody got a match ??” and hermes holding out a matchbox to her. she snatches it and says “gimme that.”

eurydice lighting the candle and clotho blowing it out.

lachesis gracing a hand on eurydice’s hair (and i forget at which lyric because my mind is Like That and Forgetful)

come home with me:

eva casually dragging her hand back and forth above the flame, playing with it because she’s not really the focus of the scene and needs something to do while reeve’s busy crumpling a newspaper to make a flower for her

hermes saying, “orpheus......don’t come on too strong”

and orpheus—directly after hearing hermes say that—says to eurydice, “coMe hOmE wITh ME !!!” featuring reeve’s wonky movements that make orpheus seem awkward, which is just plain cute

at one point, he sits on the table beside her

hermes taking the candle from eurydice’s hands and placing it aside on another table. this candle stays lit for a lot of act 1, then is later blown out because we need Metaphors and Symbolism

i love that eurydice crumples up orpheus’s paper flower, then stuffs it in her pocket

wedding song:

damn i love eva and reeve

damn i love this ensemble

damn that flower is red

epic i:

once hermes says “sing it again though” and hands orpheus his guitar, orpheus straps it on. he takes a little moment of silence before he starts singing—like he’s trying to prepare himself first. in that moment, he’s actually just staring at eurydice and smiling because he loves her so much—

livin’ it up on top:

I LOVE THE FATES AND THEIR FANS !!! EVEN THEY’RE SUPER HAPPY THROUGHOUT LIVIN’ IT UP

WHEN PERSEPHONE COMES BACK FROM HADESTOWN, ORPHEUS IS SO GIDDY !!! YOU COULD SEE HIM SMILING LIKE CRAZY AND HE’S A LITTLE JUMPY BECAUSE HE’S SO EXCITED SEPH’S HERE !! HE’S LIKE AN EXCITED LITTLE PUPPY !!! HE WAS SO EAGER TO TAKE HER COAT TOO !!!

orpheus juMP

he was literally throwing a couple silver cups to hermes (who caught them)

there were cute little john and eva moments, with john dancing around her at one point

persephone tried to shove eurydice in with the dancing ensemble to get her to join, but eurydice walked away waving her hands and awkwardly smiling as if saying, “no thanks, i’m not gonna do that,” (but obviously later persephone successfully drags eury into dancing, and she’s wonderful at it)

when hermes said “let the poet bless this round!” ahmad, while holding one of the wine bottles, puts his hands up as if to say “alright, he can do it”

after orpheus gave his speech and they drank from their cups, hermes actually coughed—like the wine was just too much for him asjhsnsj

all i’ve ever known:

persephone’s onstage during the little hermes introduction bit. when he mentions orpheus and eurydice, seph holds out her arms to each of them as he does (as if indicating who’s who) before sitting down at the side to watch the two lovers.

orpheus takes off his apron (finally), revealing him in full with his nifty suspenders 😩💕

when eurydice said “now i wanna hold you too,” she was frantically moving her hands, grabbing different parts of orpheus’s arms

that sex scene was beautiful (IT’S JUST A GRACEFUL INTIMATE DANCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND IT’S PRETTY !! ESPECIALLY WITH THE LIGHTING)

mwah

way down hadestown:

orpheus and eurydice dancing around as everyone sings about hades and hadestown (spoiler: they’re cute)

as hades and persephone descend, smoke comes out of the pit, and the ensemble is leaning in to look down there. ahmad’s in front of all of them—leaning too—but also has his arms outstretched to his sides, keeping everyone else back. they all eventually break apart, and honestly the thing i most remember is just afra with her knees on the table and her hands gripping the edges of the table, too, to peer down into the pit.

gathering storm:

me, watching afra hand eurydice her coat

orpheus takes out his tiny notebook and pencil from his pocket and goes to the side to start writing in it, because he “needs to finish the song”

eurydice clutching her arms as she says “we need food.......we need firewood.....”

“okay, finish it...”

she goes over to orpheus and places a hand on his arm, then leaves

epic ii:

AW HELL YEAH, THEY BROUGHT BACK THE “doubt that she’d ever come, dread that she’d never come, doubt that his lover would ever come back” LYRICS !!

orpheus uses present tense instead of past tense !!! it’s now “he thinks of his wife in the arms of the sun” instead of “he thought of his wife in the arms of the sun” and etc.

chant i:

the workers’ choreo is so mesmerizing. SO MESMERIZING.

reeve sings the la la la’s differently than the broadway preview audio i heard before, and i LOVE how he sings it now. his ending “la la la la la la” leads into the workers’ “low, keep your head, keep your head low” and oh my god i am so in love with that

“is it finished !?” eurydice asks hermes. “not yet,” hermes replies. she asks “is he always like this !?” and he nods.

hermes is now narrating in third-person about how orpheus is ignoring the storm rather than speaking to orpheus directly

i really don’t know how i feel about eva going lower when she sings “harbor me.” in the past she’s went higher; and because i used to hear that all the time, now that she‘s going lower my mind‘s thinking “c’mon, you can go higher !! i know you’re capable of it.” but regardless, eva’s voice is still the most beautiful thing i’ll ever hear 😩💓

the way the fates snatch away eurydice’s backpack and coat is so elegant, yet cool and pitiful

EVA I HOPE YOUR KNEES ARE OK FROM THAT FALL. I KNOW YOU DO IT EVERY NIGHT, BUT STILL.

hey little songbird:

hades casually putting on his shades

patrick’s juicy low notes are to die for

“see how the vipers and vultures surround you” reveals the three fates making their way closer to eurydice

when the chips are down (intro):

the little coin ( / ticket to hadestown ) hades gives eurydice

the way eurydice holds up both the flower and coin in the air as if contemplating which to choose

when the chips are down:

yvette, please step on me

kay, please step on me

jewelle, please step on me

please. step on me.

gone, i’m gone:

shoutout to andré off to the side making all the necessary sound effects.

hermes jingles a coin bag until eurydice comes up and puts her coin (“ticket”) in the bag, indicating she’s boarded the train to hadestown.

cue andré blowing the little flute thing to imitate a train whistle. again, thank u for ur sound effects.

wait for me:

orpheus finally looking up from his tiny notebook with a smile on his face, as if he’s happy that he’s made progress on his song and wants to tell that to eurydice. but when he looks up, he sees hermes from afar instead and (still with an innocent smile) exclaims “mr. hermes !!” before going up to him. (unlike the london production, he doesn’t look around searching for eurydice first before encountering hermes.)

orpheus drops to his knees as he says “no...” during his convo with hermes

the workers shining the lights around like they’re search lights is so COOL

THE FOG !!!

the lights actually swinging over people’s heads in the first row. wow. just,, wow.

FATESFATESFATESI’MSOGAY

THE SET OPENING UP !!! I KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN, BUT DAMN THAT WAS SO MUCH MORE EPIC IN REAL LIFE

the way reeve jumped off the platform !!! TBH KINDA HOT

i was watching him run along the turntable and it was an awkward little run LOL

“I’M COMING WAIT FOR ME !!!!!” “WAIT” “I HEAR THE WALLS REPEATING !!!” that scene was so GOOD and MUCH MORE INTENSE IRL !!!

i loooOOOVED the way the workers turned their lights at each “WAIT !!”

why we build the wall

the workers retreat to the sides of the stage and hades comes in. they’re so stiff just standing there and singing and i’m like—well fuck.

the saLUTE !!! it’s literally just them putting an index finger up, bUT STILL. FUCK.

eurydice looks around to see everyone saluting, and eventually joins in with them and does it too

the way amber dramatically turns around with her arms swinging about, pauses, then says, “anybody wanna drink?”

ACT 2

our lady of the underground:

“SSSSSSTEP INTO MY OFFICE !!!!” *intensely hip thrusts her way to hell (disregard that she’s already in it—)*

“i got the wind right here in a jar” *grabs her boob and jiggles it*

don’t we just stan amber gray

way down hadestown ii:

andré making the sound of “the pickaxe ringing” by banging a silver cup against the microphone on the stand

eurydice coming through the door and down the stairs. upon seeing the workers, she exclaims, “i’m eurydice !!” with a smile on her face like she’s ready to meet new people, but her smile fades away once she realizes no one’s paying attention to her. “doesn’t anybody hear me?” she asks the fates. and clotho responds, “oh they can hear! but they don’t care,” with a devious smile on her (and the rest of the fates’) face(s). “no one has a name down here.”

the fates proceed to tell eurydice how the workers have all forgotten about their lives before hadestown, and eurydice will turn out just like the rest.

lachesis says, “so what was your name again?” (no response) “see? you’ve already forgotten.”

flowers:

eva’s voice.........SO SAD

how she holds out her hand left hand to the side, as if trying to caress someone’s face who isn’t there.

come home with me ii:

yeah, orpheus comes in from the audience and climbs onto the stage as he says, “come home with me !!” and it’s ADORABLE

he puts his guitar down as he gets onstage (which i’d say is a metaphor for him choosing eurydice over his music)

she leaps into his arms, they embrace each other, and it’s the absolute most sweetest thing ever

papers:

“hades, i know this boy !” (persephone) // “one of the unemployed...” (hades) // “his name is orpheus—!” // “you stay out of this...” // and persephone gives him a look because he just shuts her down, and she knows she can’t do anything about it

as the fates approach orpheus, eurydice extends her arms out trying to protect him

clotho snatching orpheus’s guitar and mischievously examining it

mmmmm look at that fight scene

nothing changes:

ugh, i love that acappella and their voices are SPICY 🔥🔥💯🔥

the way clotho just holds his guitar above him while he’s lying there on the ground, beaten, like she’s teasing him

if it’s true:

eurydice retreating back to the turntable with the other workers, knowing full well there’s nothing she can do, and simply works away like the rest of them

“is this how the world is !? to be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes—will it always be like this !?” is my favorite

orpheus finally standing and is still in pain from all the workers beating him up

him pointing at each of the workers as he says “i’m asking me...and you and you and you!”

the workers each get up as they sing “we stand and listen” (or is it “we stand with him” ?? whatever, you get what i mean). but orpheus is giving them hope !!! yes !!!

how long:

persephone and hades standing on either side of the pit

they were staring at each other, moving in sync like a mirror; when persephone stepped with her right foot, hades with his left, and so on.

chant ii:

the workers and orpheus slowly rising up from the pit

“is it truuuuue ???” echoing in the back, then hades shouting “it’s the bOY !!”

when the workers say “i can’t look at my brother’s eyes,” afra and ahmad started getting up from the center and refused to make eye contact.

while i am still salty about them cutting persephone’s chant ii verse, i didn’t dislike hades’ new part. i liked it.

as hades shouts, “I CONDUCT THE ELECTRIC CITY !!!!” aLL THE LIGHTS IN THE THEATRE GO OUT AND IT’S WICKED COOL

epic iii:

sitting in my seat was honestly a perfect spot for me. hades was sitting in his stool and his back was to me, so obviously i couldn’t see much of his facial expressions, but it was literally like i was getting hades perspective as he viewed orpheus singing.

the most magical moment in the show tbh

when orpheus first sings “la la la” and hades says “where’d you get that melody ??” he gets up and starts walking towards orpheus like he’s about ready to fight and sue him for plagiarism

but persephone intervenes with a gentle “let him finish hades” before he takes another step. so he backs off.

when orpheus was singing about how hades “saw [persephone] alone there against the sky, it was like she was someone [he’d] always known,” eurydice steps up on the turntable. orpheus is in the center, with persephone and eurydice on either side of him—truly showing the parallels between orpheus and eurydice’s love with that of hades and persephone’s.

hades eventually gets on the center with orpheus, and the platform rises again. when everyone—workers and fates included—surrounds them on the turntable below, singing with orpheus, hades looks around at all of them, angry and confused

at the big “la la la la la la la” moment when everyone joins in with orpheus, the workers each get up in pairs as their side of the turntable finally faces the audience. they step up and remove their hats.

the workers finally make eye contact with one another

REEVE REALLY HITS THAT NOTE. AND IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.

the way the flower just appears in hades hands after he sings “la la la la la la la...”

you can really SEE persephone crying

lover’s desire:

persephone putting the flower on his vest is so cute

SHE TAKES HIS HANDS

i love hades and persephone ok shut up i’m soft

KIMBERLY PUTTING HER HAND ON AHMAD’S ARM, THEN LOOKING UP AT HIM AND TIMOTHY. JOHN AND AFRA ARE SIDE BY SIDE, HOLDING EACH OTHER AS THEY WATCH HADES AND PERSEPHONE DANCE.

promises:

honestly i don’t remember too much of it visually because i was too busy crying.

i heard “i don’t need a ring for my finger, i just need a steady hand to hold,” and i just started BAWLING

i think i remember she takes his hand when he says “do you let me walk with you” though

“can we go?”

“i don’t know...”

word to the wise:

the fates dancing around hades was just. mmMMM.

his kiss, the riot:

he removes the flower on his vest. (oh, symbolism, we meet again.)

hades is beside hermes as he tells him “let there be one term to be agreed upon...”

wait for me ii (intro):

ah yes. hermes sitting on that stool as it slowly turns around on the turntable.

wait for me ii:

during my show, andré accidentally sang “that is the road to paradise and likewise the path to ruin.” which is alright. we all make mistakes, it’s okay fam 👏

i started crying again once eva and reeve harmonized on “wait for me...i’m coming” and looked at one another

“are we gonna try again?” “it’s time for spring...we’ll try again next fall.” “wait for me?” “i will.”

as orpheus is walking along the turntable, hermes, persephone, eurydice, and the workers are gathered in the center. near the end of the song when they’re all singing “waiiiit for me... i’m comiiiing, waiiiiiit i’m... coming with you” persephone’s holding out the red flower while eurydice has her hand outstretched to orpheus.

EVA JUMP

“I’M COMING WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE I HEAR THE WALLS REPEATING THE FALLIN’ OF OUR FEET AND !! IT SOUNDS LIKE DRUMMIN’ !!!!!!”

it all goes dark as they sing “i’m coming !!!! (coming !!) (coming !!)”

doubt comes in:

IT’S LITERALLY AS GOOD AS YOU’D THINK IT IS

SO OMINOUS AND SPOOKY WITH THE FOG !!!!

eurydice’s following right behind orpheus, but he doesn’t know that. and the doubt and uncertainty on his face is heart-wrenching.

like. the STRESS on his face as he throws both his hands to his head and clutches his hair.

as the scene needs to focus on orpheus and his perspective of feeling alone, the spotlight is taken off of eurydice as she stops walking and lets the turntable turn until her full figure retreats into darkness. the spotlight is fully on orpheus and orpheus alone.

in the dark, three lanterns gradually rise up from the pit. as the fates start singing, their voices are hauntingly beautiful in the scene.

“doubt comes in...the wind is changing...doubt comes in...how cold it’s blowin’...doubt comes in...and meets a stranger walking on a road a l o n e . where is she ?? where is she now ??”

orpheus’s “who am i ?? why am i all alone ?? who do i think i am ? who am i to think that she would follow me into the cold and dark again.”

“orpheus, i’m listening—i’m right here !! and i will be to the end !! and the coldest night of the coldest year comes right before the spring.”

“i used to see the way the world could be...and now the way it is is all i see.”

orpheus’s realism contrasted with eurydice’s optimism just tugs at your heartstrings. orpheus, the once optimistic poet who “could see the way the world could be” no longer has that gift. eurydice, once a realist, has now been given hope that her lover can show her the way.

near the end of the song, the stairs begin to light up, and so does the exit. they’re so close to the surface—they’re almost there. and eurydice is so hopeful. she’s so certain they’ll make it that she doesn’t even doubt for a second that orpheus will turn around. but suddenly you hear a gasp. and you realize in the blink of an eye that orpheus had made a grave mistake. he’s turned around. his eyes are on eurydice, who’s frozen and in tears.

“it’s you...” he utters.

there’s a long silence

“it’s me...” her words are weak. “orpheus...?”

“eurydice...”

eurydice drops to her knees as she quickly descends back to hadestown. orpheus had scrambled his way to the edge of the pit, helplessly on his knees, staring down at where his lover had just been.

road to hell ii:

hermes’ “a’ight” after a long silence just brought me so many emotions. fuck.

as hermes is singing, eventually orpheus gets up and, with no other choice but to push on, continue his way up the stairs (to the surface), slowly and alone.

“‘cause here’s the thing: to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again...as if it might turn out this time...i learned that from a friend of mine.”

“see, orpheus was a poor boy—“ dressed in her act 1 clothes, eurydice reappears onstage saying, “anybody got a match?” hermes is still up front in the center, facing the audience as he holds out a matchbox in his left hand. “but he had a gift to give...” eurydice comes up and takes the box from him, “gimme that.” she sits down on the ground and takes out the candle from her bag, lighting the match, then lighting her candle.

from her pocket, she takes out a red flower and holds it to her face, sniffing it. a soft smile forms on her lips—like there’s some sentiment to this flower that she’s yet to know of—and puts it in her hair.

as the pit comes back up with all the tables and chairs, there’s persephone sitting on one of the tables.

at the end, orpheus returns back onstage with his apron and everything, stopping at one of the steps as he makes eye contact with eurydice. they’re staring at each other, lovestruck, just as they were in the beginning. “we’re gonna sing it again...”

we raise our cups:

persephone and eurydice’s harmonies 💞💓💖💕❤️💞💞

orpheus playing his guitar onstage even though all that shit just happened 😭 i cri

———

miscellaneous things:

act 1 was great, but the moment act 2 started i instantly knew it was gonna be my favorite. in the past when listening to audio, i always preferred to listen to act 1, with only a couple songs from act 2. so i always thought act 1 was my favorite act. but finally seeing hadestown in person, i think act 2 probably takes the cake.

once curtain call started, i was clapping like mad. when we got to the ensemble bowing, my hands were already dead but i was like, “FUCK IT, IF MY HANDS FALL OFF TONIGHT IT WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE I GOTTA APPRECIATE THIS ENTIRE CAST”

#AND THAT’S IT #i’m tired #a couple things may be inaccurate but it’s. fine. #hadestown #hadestown the musical #hadestown broadway #broadway #casu’s ramblings #my shtuff #casu’s hadestown experience

[villanevest]

you know what the ke fandom needs more of? more AU fic. like gimme some chaotic college au or coffee shop au or neighbors au

U are so right. Honestly hit me with ur suggestions.

I didn’t want to leave you waiting until any suggestions came in or my brain started working so here’s my totally lame, unsolicited and rushed dot-point take on a Villaneve in the film industry:

- Villanelle is a notoriously bratty but EXTREMELY talented actress

- like she’s a total costume thief and honestly kind of difficult to handle on set if Konstantin (her manager) isn’t around

- but she’s also a one-take wonder when she wants to be, she can just turn on the character, bam, nail it, then go back to the Kraft table and hoard doughnuts

- she starts out doing short films and indies and then swans right into big pictures in that way that almost NOBODY does, but she does

- it’s never occurred to Villanelle that everything wouldn’t fall into place for her, and it’s almost like through sheer force of confidence that it actually does.. people just don’t question her because she’s so obviously got It

- she’s all over the place, doing the most eclectic projects, bouncing from superhero flicks to deep dramas

- she’s a magazine darling bc she has the wildest fashion sense, but in interviews she’s chatty and conspiratorial and funny in this way that means you don’t really notice she hasn’t actually told you anything real about her until much later

- anyway Villanelle wraps the last block for her latest movie and then she’s herded off to London to do a music video with Sebastian, who she’s really not that fond of (she doesnt even listen to his songs)

- but Konstantin’s management group also reps him so she’s bribed into it

- Eve is a director (and aspiring screenwriter), and she’s good, she’s really fucking good, but she’s mostly stuck doing music videos that she’s not all that interested in because her boss Frank won’t cut her a break

- he always promises that “after this next one” he’ll send her through to one of his television buddies, but he never does

- “oh Eve, you’re too good here, just let it go”

- in her spare time, Eve’s writing a TV series, and it’s Ready, and having something she’s happy with and passionate about just makes the sets she’s on seem even more stagnant

- Kenny, an AD she’s had on a couple of projects (who is Very Supportive of her show idea), is the son of Carolyn Martens, who is like THE head of creative development at a huge production company

- and he manages to accidentally-on-purpose get them to run into each other so Eve has a few minutes to pitch

- and Carolyn tells Eve she likes her idea, but it’s kind of off-beat, really fresh in that shiny-new way that makes dusty dinosaur investors uncertain about profit margins

- like maybe it’s Too New, too much of a gamble

- but she says if Eve can find a way to make it more of a sure thing then she is IN

- so then Eve is directing the music video of this (honestly kinda basic) dude singer and this famous actress chick is gonna be in it

- Hugo their sound guy is Hype to meet her

- but Elena is like “yeah I’ve heard she’s a Problem” so Eve is all okay, Here We Go

- and then she sees Villanelle and there’s this whole stretched moment of just seeing her

- and then she remembers hey she saw this woman once in an arthouse film and she was incredible

- and obv That’s why her heart is doing That

- Eve just admires talent when she sees it, okay??

- and Villanelle as always goes from zero to a hundred

- like she can barely be bothered to be there but then she sees Eve and it’s Wow I Can’t Believe Music Videos Are My Actual Passion

- and yes Villanelle’s beyond into it but she’s also an ass, and like, what’s she going to do, NOT try to drive Eve up the wall? As if

- she Has to know what Eve looks like flustered

- has to know if Villanelle can fluster her into dragging her into some props closet and tearing her clothes off 

- so from Eve’s side

- Elena’s sources from wardrobe departments across the country were not kidding

- Villanelle is a total nightmare

- but also not

- like every time Eve tells her to do or try something she always pushes back, has to ask fifty But Why questions

- it’s impossible to stay frustrated with her though bc once she’s on board she absolutely brings it, will keep going until she’s got it perfect

- and then once Eve can see she’s got that to work with she starts trying to really push too, to see what she can get out of her

- but… It’s a music video, not an Academy contender, so they get caught up in this “well how about this” back and forth until Kenny’s like… Uh Eve remember we only have like five days to shoot this whole thing

- Elena thinks it’s funny because there’s going to be a HUGE disparity between Sebastian’s fumbling help-I’m-just-here-to-sing acting and Villanelle’s totally committed nuanced performance 

- then suddenly they’re done, and it’s been this total blur and Eve is kind of on a high from it because it’s the closest she’s come in so long to being able to make something she’s actually engaged with, that means something

- and she’s not willing to trudge back to Basic Town so she bites the bullet and just goes for it, like Fuck Frank

- and yeah Sebastian is … A little ordinary… But he’s commercially successful and has a pull with the 18-35s, so Eve approaches him after they’ve wrapped

- she pitches him being the featured artist on the soundtrack of her TV show

- he gets exposure, she gets his brand

- it’s not ideal – his isn’t the image that’d be her first choice to tie with her series, it’s not really the same vibe – but she’s not going to wait for Carolyn to forget about her

- and Sebastian says he’d like to help her, but he’d have to check with his managers, and what about his tour schedule, and does she need original music, and um –

- and then Villanelle’s all “oh I couldn’t help but overhear… You know, Eve, I’m looking to get into TV”

- Eve goes, “you are?”

- well she is nOW

- nevermind she’s turned down a dozen offers over the last few years to focus on her film career

- but her film career is going great

- and none of it is as FUN as winding Eve up this last week has been, and this was only a shitty music video

- a TV shoot would be a few months, would give them both so much more time and space to see what’s the best (and worst) they can really bring out in each other 

- and Eve’s a bit lost

- because Villanelle is the It Girl du jour

- and Eve’s show hasn’t even been officially optioned but here’s all the free publicity she could want

- and she never bothered to consider it before but actually, Villanelle would be completely perfect for the lead

- perfect

- and now Eve’s thought about it it’s all coming together and she doesn’t want to let go of it again

- (and working with Villanelle some more wouldn’t suck, honestly, not completely)

- (might actually be – well)

- “are you for real?”

- “so for real,” and Villanelle’s drawling, eyebrow raised, almost smirking, but Eve can tell she’s serious

- oh this is so far above and beyond what Carolyn needed

- and that’s the start of it all

Butts, legs and ur hand?

Money is a funny thing. For someone who lives on minimum income, $10.000 can be life-changing. For someone, who makes millions of dollars in a year, it may seem reasonable to insure their butt for a sum that sounds more like the total budget of a small country. It’s all relative. I get that. And today’s GMM shows that a celebrity butt - or smile - is worth quite a bit more than my butt. But can Link guess, just how much a celebrity butt is worth? Let’s talk about that!

The host of today’s game show might be wearing a different tie than he usually does, but let’s not allow that interfere with our viewing pleasure. Rhett introduces the contestant Link with words: “He’s never seen a jar of peanut butter that he didn’t want to get all up in.” I just love how the peanut butter has become a running joke on GMM!

Link looks absolutely thrilled to be competing again, and Stevie reprises her role as the lady who shows the correct answers on the board...Why do I feel there is a simpler way to say that but I just can’t remember what it is. But fortunately, Rhett’s description of Stevie’s role is even more complicated. Now I feel I need to look up the correct term. Later. Focus on this first.

(A side note: I find Rhett holding a curling iron as a microphone very relatable. I sang karaoke earlier today, holding a remote control as a mic, since it was the first microphone like item I could find.)

...A game show hostess. Stevie is the hostess...

While Link is trying to figure out what door knobs have to do with JLo’s butt, I have to point out that considering your derriere your most valuable assett, when you are in fact an actress / singer, doesn’t really give a good impression on your talents. I personally think Jennifer Lopez was an excellent actress (I haven’t watched Gigli, so that doesn’t count) before she went into singing. And although I very much appreciate her physique, I think there’s more to her than her behind. And I’m probably making this way too complicated. Apparently, at least one insurance company was willing to pay $300,000 000 for her butt. Okay. Maybe I get it. And Link gets a point.

If Julia Roberts was missing a tooth on Erin Brockovich, I assume she wouldn’t have won an Oscar for her role - so I guess her smile is worth quite a bit. I have to agree with Link on happily giving a few teeth and a lip for $30,000 000 - I’m pretty sure I could buy enough dentures for life with that money - but I also think it’s more reasonable to insure a smile than a butt. Link apparently values Julia Roberts’ smile higher than the insurance companies, because he gets this one wrong.

Dolly Parton insuring her boobs (I’m not going to attempt to write down the term Link used) for a few hundred thousand dollars sound acceptable, regardless of which choice is correct. I’d love to see the faces of the Neal family members after Rhett and Link get overly excited about Dolly’s bosom. I actually feel Link was toning himself down just a tad, because his family was watching - but thankfully, it didn’t seem to bother him too much.

Oh, crap. I cackled when I heard Rhett tell his ridiculous motorboating joke the first time, because I didn’t think about it too deeply, but after the second watch, I got into the same state of mind where Link must be when he starts to analyze what Dolly’s boobs have to do with motorboats. That is one of those jokes that don’t necessarily improve with analysis. But the concerned look on Rhett’s face when he worriedly asks Link is he doesn’t know what motorboating is...that is worth a rewatch. (And I still can’t be sure if Link completely missed the joke and just pretended to get it, or if he got it and just didn’t find it that funny.)

I do feel there is something off with how the female celebrities insure body parts which aren’t really quite that important from a talent perspective, but the only male on this list, David Beckham, has his legs insured. I get that a pro soccer player would insure the part of their body which is pretty pivotal for their profession - like a pianist would probably insure their hands - but Dolly Parton is a brilliant song writer and singer, and a those things shouldn’t have anything to do with her boobs. I’m not gonna rant about this, I just think it’s yet another proof of gender inequality in the world we live in.

Okay, at least Mariah Carey had her vocal chords included in the insurance. She may be a diva, but at least she knows what her biggest assett is. I get Link’s reasoning for why he guesses the higher price - when you are talking about a billion dollars, it probably doesn’t matter that much if you’re over or under, but going over sounds more appreciative (and looks better when it’s later talked about on a Youtube game show).

Link wins his choice of a dollar or whatever is in the mystery box prepared by Lando (the heart with the word Dad on top of the box is really sweet). As an art-oriented adult child of a perfectionist parent, I have to say, the best way to react to your child’s art project is not to ask “what is this?”. Yes, it’s just an orange with a face drawn on it, but still. I’m just saying. Always be supportive of your kids creative projects. Even if you choose an orange instead of a dollar.

I have to say, today’s More was a brilliant idea. I was initially mostly thrilled by the chance of seeing Link wear lipstick again (Rhett has so much beard these days that he doesn’t really count), but once I figured out Ellie’s quarantine friend tutorial, I instantly paused the video and joined the fun (with horrifying results).

So, Ellie instructs Rhett, Link and Stevie in creating the illusion of going out with a friend. Now, I have a faint memory of seeing this same idea used in a slightly different situation. Usually by guys who don’t have a significant other. I’m pretty sure Link got the idea, since he pointed out he should have drawn his face on the other side, and Ellie was very much aware of it, too. And GMM is a family show, so enough about that.

By the time they start to apply eye-shadow, I’m still not sure if Rhett and Stevie have figured out what they’re doing, but Link definately knows what’s up, since he says he’s going to be doing this all the time from now on. (Fun fact: I seem to have the same NYX eye-shadow palette Jessie has.)

Link obviously looks great with lipstick, but Rhett with green eyeshadow and a pink tie looks very punk rock, and I like it.

So, the end results are pretty creepy, but also extremely hilarious. Link calls his left hand Lynette, while Rhett apparently hangs out with Troy from now on. Troy looks a bit like he has had a rough night (so does Link, by the way, he needs to practice the eye makeup on himself a bit more).

But what a fun episode this was. I wonder at what point Rhett figured out the hand puppet thing, before or after calling him Troy?

What about a cis woman who has androgynous features and hates it and herself for it? I'd give anything for a more feminine face and not look so flat chested. Is this dysphoria too? Do you have any resources for this sort of problem? It seems silly, but when I see trans women having things like facial feminization surgery or going on hormones and getting breasts that are nice, I wonder if a cis woman who experiences the same pain over her androgynous features is in the same boat..

Aww, anon. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling this way. I wouldn’t say this is gender dysphoria as gender dysphoria is involves a persistent sense of unease and conflict between a person’s physical or assigned gender and the gender with which he/she/they identify.  You are a cis woman who identifies as a woman, but wishes she looked more feminine, which is very different.

I would assess how strong your feelings are and if it’s extremely severe, to the point that your distress causes you to be highly preoccupied with it and it is impacting your school, work, home, etc or and you find yourself hiding away, I would consult a therapist. You may have body dysmorphic disorder.If it’s not quite THAT extreme, the I would say that what you’re feeling and struggling with is still totally valid and far, far more common amongst folks than you might think.  Whether you realise it or not, as a woman you are bombarded all the time with powerful systemic, societal pressures to look, dress, and behave in a certain manner every day - and all of that can really destroy how people feel about themselves.

Shoving the rest of this under a cut for length.

Let me just tell you right now - my breasts are fuckin’ tiny.  I know I literally just asked for advice on binders a few days ago, but I’m an A cup at best. Probably smaller.  The slight, itty-bitty ‘cup’ shape on my flimsy bralettes probably give these non-existent knockers more shape than they really have.  Even though I’m buying binders and what not, on a lazy day, I could honestly just slap some pasties on these nip-nops and call it good. They’re that small.

This is amazing and awesome now that I’m busily trying to minimize their existence as much as possible.  I consider myself genderqueer/genderfluid so some days I’ll be crushed over the fact that I can’t be this tall, jacked, majestic Tiergan-shaped dude, while other days I’ll be fine and dandy with looking like a woman, while MOST days I just want to be the purest manifestation of Gender Confusion Inducement™ in other people.  Me wanting binders over my itty-bitty nublet tiddies is just me wanting to go that extra mile to be flat as a fuckin’ wall.

But when I thought I was a cis woman? I felt crushingly ashamed by them.  

Back then, I didn’t really like myself or how I looked. I didn’t like looking at myself in the mirror. I HATED looking at myself in pictures. I rarely took selfies, because I thought I was not very attractive.  I thought I was bland and ugly looking.  Society had told me again and again that attractive women looked a certain way, were shaped a certain way, dressed a certain way, etc, and that clearly my unhappiness was based upon the fact that I did not conform to that mold.I thought to be happy and to feel better about myself, I had to double down on the womanliness and become more conventionally attractive. So I’d buy things like massive push-up bras that never felt good, comfortable, and I hated in a desperate attempt to conform. I’d buy these really specific types of shirts and clothes that I didn’t like at all, but thought was what was ‘pretty’ for women. I’d fumble through learning make-up, not because I was interested in the colors, the expression, the creativity, and accentuating my features the way I wanted, but because that’s just what adult women were supposed to do.  I’d buy certain shoes I didn’t really even like, but knew pretty women were supposed to like and wear.

I was trying so damn hard to fit the mold and in the end, it only made me feel worse.  I felt like I was wearing this awkward, uncomfortable shell. People would tell me I was pretty, but I didn’t feel happier. I just felt more miserable, because all this extra emotional and physical labour I was putting into myself just to fit this arbitrary bullshit notion of what an ideal pretty lady was supposed to be like was EXHAUSTING and I didn’t even really like how I looked. I didn’t want to do it all every. single. day of my life.

Realising I was nonbinary was absolutely liberating for me, because I thought  “Well… if I’m not a cis woman and none of the old ‘rules’ matter anymore, …what does handsomeness or beauty actually mean to me?” 

And for the first time in my entire adult life, I defined for myself what beauty and handsomeness truly meant for me.  It was wonderful and liberating.  The first thing I realised was that I didn’t really give a fuck about how big my boobs are. Society did. And BOY HOWDY it was GREAT not giving a flying fuck about that anymore.  I still keep a few bras around for costuming/cosplay purposes, but you could not catch me fucking dead in one otherwise.

I used to hate make-up and find it to be this long, cumbersome chore that I would lose interest in doing every day, but once I got to sit and experiment on how I personally actually wanted it to look on my face - I fucking loved it. I like experimenting with colors and want to play with more. It appeals to the artist in me to play on a canvas even if that canvas is my face.

Fashion as a whole became a wild new experience. I stopped thinking about what I felt pressured to buy because it would make me look a certain way and what I really, really wanted.  I made a pinterest board of fashion goals and pinned every single thing I could find that I liked - regardless of whether it was a man, woman, or theater major dressed up in costume wearing it so I could identify what I actually wanted.  I dyed my hair pink, but got it cut in a more masculine manner and I fucking love the way I look now.

You might be thinking “Yeah, ok, Tiergan, that’s great and all, but I’m not nonbinary.”

But the funny thing I realised was that even though embracing that I am nonbinary led me to this understanding that I could take back my own power and define for myself what attractiveness truly means for me - this was a thing I could have done at any point in my life if I hadn’t been so buried in all those signals from society on what beauty was supposed to be.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you “just accept ur natural self! Don’t change a thing! Body positivity!!!!!” Because: 1) I know when you’re in a place of feeling super down on yourself, that shit doesn’t help at all and just feels extremely inauthentic. 2) I changed A LOT about myself until I was happy with my appearance. I just didn’t change it in the ways that I previously thought I was ‘supposed’ to.

So instead what I’ll say is that if you’re willing and able, I would set aside an hour or two each week to clear your mind, dig deep, and try to visualize a universe in which nothing anyone else thinks about your appearance matters anymore, because YOU are God.  You have a blank slate.  

There is no pressure to look a certain way to be considered beautiful, because you’re God. You decide what is beautiful..  No one in this universe gives a fuck if you have big tiddies, little tiddes, medium tiddies or any kind of tiddy, because right now the universe is a blank slate and all tiddies are created equal in a blank slate.  No one in this universe cares whether or not you have the perfect heart-shaped feminine face or not, because you’ve not told anyone yet what is considered attractive.  You are the decider of beautiful things.

Now imagine that you, as God of this World, descend down to hang with the mortals.  You can’t really change your body without going back to your old weirdo universe back on Earth, but what you can change is your clothes, your hair, your make-up, etc.  Knowing that this universe is yours and you get to decide what beautiful is for yourself, what would you change?  

Remember, you’re God in this universe you’ve made - so you don’t have to impress fucking anybody.  Anyone who says shit to you gets smited or yeet into the sun.  As a god, you get to wear what makes you feel powerful, majestic, and appropriately godlike - what does that clothing look like?  Can you imagine it?  If it’s hard, maybe pull up pinterest and surf around for your god-clothes.  Would you get stylish sneakers or thigh high boots?  Would you get a lady’s power-suit or a lolita dress?  Would you get some neat unique godly jewelry? (If yes, I recommend Etsy. That site is gonna destroy my fuckin’ destory my wallet.)

What’s your make-up like?  Is it tough to imagine?  Pull up another pinterest. Use it to find your god-makeup.  And hey - are you putting this make-up on because it makes you feel GOOD and POWERFUL like the goddess you are, or to impress the mortals? Because again - you’re god. You don’t have to impress jack shit. This make up is for YOU and what makes you feel GOOD and POWERFUL and GODLIKE.

Do you still care about having bigger boobs? (Did you know a fuckload of actual supermodels and Hollywood actresses have small tiddies? So even in THIS universe, you don’t need big boobs to be beautiful!)  Do you still feel unhappy that your face is kind of androgynous according to the dumbasses back in the vastly inferior universe you originally came from?  Or do things in your universe where you’re god feel pretty great?  I hope so, because gods don’t really have time to worry about the funky assumptions of mere mortals. You’re too busy being fabulous and doing godlike shit.

Hope this sort of helps!

[thegeminisage]

yes! same anon! i didn't know what to address myself as except anon? feel free to baptize me. i am ALSO a brit marling fan, have watched almost everything of hers as well (the sound of my voice is a near fave, to i haven't watched the oa yet) and she is GORGEOUS and i LOVE her. the only thing if hers i haven't liked is i origins (and i have a Rant on that film) but she is excellent as an actress and a writer. she definitely made rhoda out to be a very sympathetic character i think particularly

because she didn’t let her get away even a little bit unscathed from what she did, which was a tragedy and treated exactly as such an all fronts. and it framed the questions of its premise of another earth so beautifully, that conflict. truly a wonderful film. i just LOVE it an awful lot. also so low budget and still so incredible??? watching it makes me despair for hollywood truly. jfdsjfd sorry for the rambling - anon (to be baptized?)

ANON i am henceforth baptizing u as brit marling anon bc i feel like this is what we may wind up talking abt for the forseeable future & also she deserves to have anons named after her. i hope u like this name

sorry again it took me so long to answer ur ask, i had pomodoro on so i LITERALLY couldn’t open tumblr

first of all i have not seen i origins, i know a little about the plot & i’ve seen clips, but i thought brit acted in that and didn’t write for it, which is why i didn’t make it a top priority…i think the only stuff of hers i haven’t seen is i origins; the civil war movie because 1. i’m southern and i’m sick of the civil war on all fronts 2. there’s a r*pe scene in it, no thanks; and posthumous, which i wanna watch but could never find. i watched her scenes in arbitrage and the company you keep although i did not watch the entire film either time…i watched ALL of babylon even though i couldn’t understand a fucking word of it, i watched her community episode, and i even got to watch THE RECORDIST altho sadly itunes copyright took it away from me and i can’t rewatch it or show it to anyone else :( ANYWAY feel free to let loose with ur i origins rant bc the ending looked a little shady to me for Reasons (SPOILERS to anyone who hasn’t seen but that little girl being his gf skeeves me out…like what if he still loves her?? he can’t, she’s like 7 now! stop!) and i’ve already been spoiled so i’m Ready

i also like…can’t rec the oa highly enough…you’re gonna wanna watch it in one sitting and you’re gonna be SO mad when u get to the end and there’s no more but like it’s ABSOLUTELY worth it. season 2 especially touches on who you might have been in a different world/if life had gone different for you, and it makes sympathetic characters out of people you’d never have expected to like at first. aside from that, watching it is like…i’m not normally affected this way by film/tv, but i was reacting PHYSICALLY, like, this story she and zal were telling i felt in my body - get chills and goosebumps, my hair standing on end. it is such an INTENSE experience, it’s like the thoughtfulness of another earth + the thriller/shocking/suspense element of sound of my voice, i was literally standing up out of my chair at some points. (and speaking of another earth’s budget, it’s so fucking amazing to get to see what brit and zal do with an actual budget and a real full cast of actors, i’m so PROUD of them.)

i really can’t wait to see what brit and zal do next…my earnest hope is that they shoot the oa season 3 in their backyards but i’d also love to see another film from them!!
