#congratulations to all winners and nominees

[quadruple-a]

The Oscar’s are great and all, but I cannot get past “The Academy”. I hear that and all I can picture is like some kind of exclusive private school. The staff/board/fact and smart adults get to vote on all the movies that the students submitted for the award.

No one told me this, but Honestly I’m not entirely convinced I’m wrong.

Imagine going to the streamer awards with Schlatt (you’re not a streamer) and if he wins something then once you all get home he makes you cum as many times as he can as a celebration type thing

celebrate- jschlatt

minors dni

paring: schlatt x fem/afab! reader

warnings: smut {18+}, mentions of overstim, schlatt being a horny mf, overuse of pet names {im sorry}

to be quite honest with you, schlatt didn’t even want to go to the streamies. it wasn’t his scene and he was confident in the fact he wasn’t going to win. what sold him on it was seeing you in a tight dress. he took you shopping that morning, you two decided on wearing purple, the color of royalty as you told him. “makes sense, got my beautiful princess so that makes me a king.”

it was almost time to leave as you were putting the finishing touches on your makeup. “doll, we gotta go.” schlatt held your hand as you slid on your heels and even fixed the buckles for you. the tight sequined dress hugged your curves perfectly, the purple complementing your complexion.

“absolutely stunning.” your boyfriend commented with a wolf whistle. “whaddya say we skip this thing? i could do that thing ya like with my tongue.” he smirked and kissed up your neck. “jay, no. this is a big night for you! we have to go, that’s that.” you pushed the larger man away from you and frantically tried to fix your hair.

the car ride to the venue was so exciting for you. having only been with schlatt a few months, you hadn’t been to a streamers event before. “this is gonna be so fun jay! we’re gonna take pictures and you’re nominated! i think you’re gonna win personally.”

he rolled his eyes at the thought of him winning. “‘m glad you’re excited toots. at least one of us is.” you knew he wasn’t the biggest fan of going out, much rather wanting to spend the night back home in austin with you and jambo instead of being in smoggy old la. “c’mon baby, you’ll have fun trust me.” “i think having you bent over the bed would be more fun but okay.” he muttered under his breath.

you were right of course, sitting at the table with his fellow nominees ted and charlie, he started to loosen up a bit. drinks were flowing, laughs were being had, and schlatt started to ease up. “the nominees for best new podcast are…” ethan nestor started reading out their category. “oooh baby listen up!”

schlatt felt his nerves jump back up, he didn’t care about winning honestly. you were just so excited for him and the guys, he didn’t want to disappoint you.

“and the winners of best new podcast are….” you held schlatts hand tightly with one hand while you bit your nails on the other. “chuckle sandwich!” a camera panned over to your table and the guys all got up to go on stage, right after kissing their dates.

“thank you all so much for this amazing award, i think i speak for all of us when i say we definitely didn’t expect to be nominated let alone win. thank you to the fans for tuning in every week and we hope you keep listening!” ted spoke eloquently, a perfect acceptance speech; short and sweet.

once back at the table, his hand made its way to your thigh. “hey doll, don’tcha think i deserve a winner’s reward when we get back to the hotel?” he whispered in your ear then kissed your neck. his hand rubbed your thigh, inching closer and closer to your core. you squeezed them closer together, attempting to block his hand from his target.

the rest of the event was quite draining. all you could focus on was what schlatt was going to do to you later that evening. finally you got to leave and instead of going to the after party, you faked being sick. “sorry guys, im not feeling so hot. i better sit this one out. jay, you don’t mind not going do you? i feel so bad.” you pleaded with the large man, who knew you were faking it. “yeah guys, let’s do a rain check for next chuckle week. gotta make sure my baby’s feelin’ alright.” schlatt wrapped his jacket around you, and walked you towards his car. “congratulations again guys!”

the drive home was an entirely different vibe, schlatts hand was ghosting against your center, teasing you through your underwear. “couldn’t even wait for me to celebrate with my friends? needed me that badly huh doll?” he smirked at you while his fingers grabbed a hold of your panties and pulled them to the side. “s’fuckin’ wet for me…”

his large digits found their way to your clit, rubbing soft slow circles. “that’s it. atta girl. you looked so pretty tonight sweetheart. wanted to take you into a bathroom and fuck the shit outta ya.” your back arched into the seat at his words. “oh you like that idea don’t you princess? me taking care of this sweet cunt wherever i want it, not caring who sees me with what’s mine.”

his fingers speed up, causing you to grip tighter on the center console, “fuck jay, don’t stop. ‘m gonna cum.” “that’s right, cum for daddy.”

the car stopped moving, pulling into the hotel’s lot where schlatt waited until your orgasm subsided to help you out and into the room. once there, he tossed you onto the bed. “i believe i was promised the thing i like?” you smirked up at him.

dropping down to his knees and taking the headband out of his hair, he pulled you closer to the edge. “i’m a man of my word doll. but i’m gonna make you cum so many times you’re gonna cry.”

and once again, schlatt was a man of his word.

Master Post | Teaser | Suspect Cards

"It's 'bout to get risky, hands gettin' frisky. Threw it back, caught it like frisbee," you sing along with the electrifying performance of KARD's hit song. Your voice blends seamlessly with the music filling the luxurious ballroom of the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). 

The atmosphere crackles with excitement as the crowd also joins in, their voices rising in unison to the beat.

You're adorned in a breathtaking gown that exudes glamour and sophistication, the fabric draping elegantly around you in a cascade of shimmering fabric. Every detail of your dress, from the delicate beading to the intricate embroidery, speaks of timeless elegance and style.

At your table, with Chan beside you and Minho on your other side, Stray Kids are caught up in the energy of the moment. Their eyes alight with enthusiasm as they sing and dance along with you. The shimmering chandeliers above cast a warm glow over the scene. You sway to the rhythm of the music, every movement with grace and elegance. Your dress catches the light, creating a mesmerizing display as you become lost in the music.

As KARD's performance reaches its crescendo, the energy in the room reaches its max. Applause erupts throughout the ballroom as the performers bring the song to its conclusion.

With a gracious bow, KARD exits the stage, leaving behind an electrified atmosphere in their wake. The host steps forward, microphone in hand. With a charming smile, he gestures for the two presenters to join him on stage, to announce the last award of the night.

Artist of the Year

Beside you, Chan's hand finds yours, a silent gesture of support as you both await the moment of truth.

"You've got this," Chan murmurs, his voice filled with confidence and pride. "I believe in you." His eyes meet yours, sparkling with pride and anticipation, and you share a brief, reassuring smile. The air is electric with excitement as the presenters take their places at the podium, their voices echoing through the grand ballroom as they build suspense with each nominee they announce.

Your heart pounds in your chest as your name is called as one of the nominees. The room erupts into cheers and applause, and you feel a swell of gratitude for the journey that has brought you to this moment. With bated breath, you await the final announcement, and as the presenters open the envelope and reveal the winner, the world seems to stand still for a moment. 

Then, the room explodes into cheers as your name is announced as the winner of Artist of the Year. 

Tears of joy fill your eyes as you rise from your seat, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from your peers and fans alike. Amidst the jubilation, you catch Chan's eye, his smile radiant with pride and happiness for you. "Congratulations, love!" he says, his voice filled with emotion. "You deserve this and so much more."

"Congratulations, Y/N!" Changbin exclaims, his voice filled with genuine excitement as he jumps up from his seat, pumping his fist in the air. "You absolutely deserve this!" Han joins in, his cheers echoing throughout the ballroom as they offer their heartfelt congratulations. "We're so proud of you, Y/N!" Jeongin exclaims, his voice filled with admiration.

With a sense of elation, you make your way to the stage, the spotlight now shining brightly on you as you accept this prestigious award. As you step into the spotlight, you feel a rush of adrenaline coursing through your veins, knowing that all eyes are on you. 

"I'm truly honored to receive this award for Artist of the Year," you begin, your voice steady yet filled with emotion. "This recognition means the world to me, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey."

You pause for a moment, soaking in the applause and cheers from the audience, their excitement echoing throughout the grand ballroom.

"I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to JYP Entertainment, my agency," you continue, your words carrying a sense of sincerity. "Your belief in me and support have been the cornerstone of my career. And to my manager, Zayne, thank you for your guidance and dedication."

"To my fans," you continue, "you are the reason I do what I do. Your love and support inspire me every single day, and I am truly blessed to have you in my life."

You pause, a smile spreading across your face as you turn and make eye contact with Chan, his eyes shining with pride.

"And to my love, Chan," you say, your voice filled with affection. "Your support means everything to me. I couldn't have done this without you by my side."

The applause swells as you raise your award, a symbol of your dedication and perseverance, high above your head.

"This award is for all of us—for the dreamers, the believers," you proclaim, your voice resonating with passion. "Let's continue to chase our dreams, be kind, and inspire others."

With a final heartfelt "thank you," you lower the trophy, the room erupting into cheers and applause once more. Basking in the euphoria, you bow gracefully to the cheering crowd, gratitude swelling in your heart. The stage lights shimmer around you, casting an ethereal glow as you soak in the moment.

As you retreat to the wings, the host steps forward, the spotlight following their every move. With a warm smile, they address the audience, their voice carrying across the grand ballroom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes tonight's event," the host announces. "Thank you all for joining us for this unforgettable evening. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our performers, presenters, and all those who have contributed to making this event a success. And to our audience, thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Until next time, goodnight and safe travels."

Amidst the flurry of activity, you're met with familiar faces, including your dedicated staff.

First among them is Aera, your loyal assistant, her eyes shining with pride and admiration as she approaches you. "Congratulations, Y/N," she says, her voice filled with pride. "You were absolutely incredible up there. I'm so proud to be a part of your team."

Her words warm your heart, and you offer her a grateful smile, touched by her support. "Thank you, Aera," you reply, unconsciously, handing the trophy to her. "I couldn't have done it without you." 

As the jubilant atmosphere swirls around you, your gaze catches a familiar figure amidst the crowd – Zayne, your trusted manager. With a warm smile, he strides over to you, his eyes reflecting pride and admiration.

"Congratulations, Y/N," Zayne says, his voice tinged with genuine excitement. "You were absolutely phenomenal up there. Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off."

"Thank you, Sir," you reply, sincerity evident in your voice. "I couldn't have done it without your expertise and leadership."

Before you can say more, Chan appears by your side, his presence a comforting anchor amidst the bustling activity backstage. With a proud smile, he wraps an arm around you, drawing you close in a tender embrace. "You were amazing, love," he murmurs. "I couldn't be prouder of you."

Turning around, you find yourself face to face with the members of Stray Kids, each one wearing a grin as wide as the stage itself.

"So… what I'm hearing is party at the artist of the year's house?" Hyunjin says, his excitement contagious as he looks around at the group.

The suggestion is met with enthusiastic agreement from the rest of the members, their smiles widening at the prospect of continuing the festivities together.

"Sounds like a plan.." Felix says, his grin widening as he claps his hands together. "Y/N, what do you say? How about a little party?"

You chuckle at their excitement, feeling a surge of warmth at the thought of spending more time with your friends after the awards show." Sure, why not?" you reply with a smile, already picturing the evening ahead. With that, the group sets off, making their way to your house with laughter and chatter filling the air. 

Your house exudes an air of elegance and warmth, its grandeur evident in every meticulously designed detail.

However, your eyes are drawn to the intricately woven basket near the entrance. Changbin's sudden pause and furrowed brow catch your attention, prompting you to look at him as he bends down to inspect the object.

"What's this?" Changbin murmurs, his fingers tracing the colorful ribbons that adorn the basket.

Curiosity gets the better of you, and you join him, the rest of Stray Kids gathering around as well. The basket, with its lavish display of generosity, is unlike anything you've seen before. As the members gather around the basket, their excitement palpable in the air, they are taken aback by its sheer size and weight.

As the members marvel at the treasures hidden within, you can't help but feel a sense of unease prickling at the edges of your mind. Something about the extravagant gift feels out of place, the weight of the basket and the sheer opulence of its contents casting a shadow over the otherwise joyous occasion. You've never received a gift directly to your house before; typically, such gestures are managed through the agency.

But before you can voice your concerns, Adam, your bodyguard, tenses noticeably. Dressed entirely in black, Adam blends seamlessly into the darkness of the night, his imposing figure a stark contrast to the vibrant energy of the celebration. Despite the festive atmosphere, his focus remains unwavering, a silent sentinel on high alert. His sharp eyes scan the surroundings with a vigilance that doesn't go unnoticed, his instinctive reaction drawing your attention.

Without a word, Adam strides purposefully towards the basket, his imposing figure towering over the group as he begins to inspect it for any potential threats or dangers. The sudden shift in atmosphere, coupled with Adam's focused demeanor, sends a ripple of unease, the festive mood momentarily dampened by the undercurrent of tension.

After a brief inspection, Adam's tense posture relaxes slightly, signaling his assurance that the basket is safe. With a nod of approval, he turns to you, his expression stoic yet reassuring.

 "At first glance, there doesn't appear to be anything dangerous," he announces.

"Thank you, Adam. I appreciate it."

Adam nods in acknowledgment before stepping back, allowing the group to resume their examination of the extravagant gift. With the bodyguard's seal of approval, any lingering doubts about the safety of the basket are cast aside, replaced by eager anticipation for the surprises that await within.

"Hey, what's this?" Minho's voice carries across the room, a mixture of curiosity and intrigue evident in his tone as he picks up the mysterious envelope.

Seungmin's eyes narrow as he snatches the envelope from Minho's grasp. "Let me see," he says, his voice tinged with an unusual sharpness. With a scrutinizing gaze, he examines the envelope before extending it towards you, his expression a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

You can't help but notice the way Seungmin's fingers tremble slightly as he hands you the envelope, a detail that doesn't escape your attention.

With bated breath, you reach for the envelope, your heart pounding with anticipation as you carefully break the seal and unfold the letter inside.

The letter's message seems disjointed and unsettling. It's as though the words were plucked randomly from the air and strung together without purpose or coherence. With furrowed brows, you try to make sense of it, but the more you ponder, the more bewildering it becomes. It's a cryptic message that raises more questions than it answers, leaving an uneasy feeling lingering in the air. All you could decipher is that the sender was present at the awards ceremony that night,

.....or at the very least, was watching.

You turn to Chan, your brows furrowed with concern. "Hey, Channie, did you send this basket?" you ask, gesturing towards the extravagant gift with a hint of suspicion. Chan shakes his head, his expression mirroring your confusion. "No, love, I didn't," he replies honestly, reaching out to steady the heavy basket as Changbin and Han prepare to carry it inside. 

Despite your lingering unease, you brush off your concerns for the moment, chalking it up to the excitement of the evening. Together, with careful coordination, they lift the basket and carry it in. You push the unsettling feeling aside and follow Chan into the warmth of your home, the mystery of the letter and its sender momentarily forgotten in the midst of your celebration.

Turning to Adam, your trusted bodyguard, you offer him a grateful smile. "Adam, you can head home for the night," you say, expressing your appreciation for his dedicated service. With a nod of acknowledgment, Adam takes his leave.

As you step inside, you're greeted by the soft glow of warm lighting that illuminates the spacious foyer, casting a welcoming ambiance throughout the expansive interior. The walls are adorned with tasteful artwork and framed photographs, each piece adding a touch of personality and charm to the space. Plush furnishings invite you to relax and unwind, their luxurious fabrics beckoning you to sink into their embrace. From the gleaming hardwood floors to the ornate fixtures, every aspect of your home reflects your impeccable taste and style. As you lead your friends further into the house, you can't help but feel a sense of pride and contentment in the place you call home.

The members continue to marvel at the extravagant gift, and Jeongin eagerly unties the ribbons and delves into the treasures hidden within the basket. From gourmet chocolates to luxurious skincare products, each item is a testament to the thoughtfulness and generosity of the unknown sender. Hyunjin's eyes widen in astonishment as he takes in the grandeur of the basket.

Just as they are fully engrossed in exploring the lavish gifts, Aera, your assistant, arrives a bit later than expected, breathless and apologetic. "I'm so sorry for being late," she says, bowing deeply as she catches her breath. "There was unexpected traffic on the way back, and I had to run back to the venue because you forgot your bracelet at the table." Your eyes catch sight of the trophy in her hands.

You furrow your brows in confusion, not recalling wearing a bracelet earlier in the evening, but you accept it nonetheless, grateful for Aera's diligence. "Thank you, Aera," you say, taking the bracelet from her and putting it on with a smile. "I appreciate you going the extra mile to retrieve it for me."

With a nod of understanding, Aera straightens up, relief evident in her expression. "Of course, anything for you," she replies sincerely. "I'll make sure to keep a closer eye on your belongings from now on."

"You've had a long day, Aera," you say, noticing the fatigue in her eyes and the weariness in her posture. "You should head home and rest. I can take the trophy. I'll put it on my trophy shelf," you suggest, reaching out to gently take the trophy from her hands, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Oh no, I'm okay," Aera insists with a determined smile, though a hint of weariness still lingers in her eyes. "Excited to be here. I can do it!" With that, she rushes over to another room, disappearing briefly. Moments later, she returns with a determined look on her face, the trophy now securely placed in the other room.

"I appreciate your dedication, Aera, but your well-being is important too. You've already gone above and beyond today, you really should go home," you say, sensing her reluctance to leave.

Despite her disappointment, Aera bows respectfully, her expression tinged with a hint of sadness as she bids farewell and takes her leave.

Felix, ever the amiable presence in your home, offers a friendly observation as he settles into a comfortable spot. "You know, I've been here quite a bit, but I don't think I've ever seen Aera before," he remarks with genuine curiosity.

"Ah, that's because Aera is relatively new," Chan says, sitting beside Felix. "She's still getting acquainted with everything around here…although I've never seen Aera inside before. Only at the JYP building"

You nod, a hint of surprise coloring your expression as you acknowledge Chan's observation. "That's right," you confirm, your tone reflecting your curiosity. "My staff usually waits outside. It's... unusual for someone to come inside, other than Adam of course," you say. "But I suppose Aera's new to this role, and... well, she's my first personal assistant, so things might be a bit different from what I'm used to."

Changbin, who's been rummaging through the cabinets in search of snacks, looks up with a perplexed expression. "So, if Aera's breaking the 'no staff inside' rule, can she at least bring snacks with her next time?" he asks, his tone teasing yet earnest.

You giggle nervously at Changbin's suggestion, feeling a slight flush of embarrassment at the situation. "Well, I suppose that's a fair request," you respond with a sheepish grin

"I don't have much in the way of snacks. But there's a convenience store just a minute away. I can go grab some snacks real quick if you want."

As you mention going to the store, the maknae perks up, his eyes bright with enthusiasm.

"I'll come with you!" he offers, already halfway off the couch and reaching for his jacket.

You smile at his eagerness, touched by his willingness to accompany you.

"Sure, Innie," you agree, grateful for the company. "Let's make it quick, though. We don't want to miss out on the movie." 

With a quick promise to return soon, you both slip out of the house and into the cool night air.

As you and Jeongin make your way down the quiet street towards the convenience store, the gentle hum of distant traffic fills the air, contrasting with the peacefulness of the neighborhood. However, despite the serene surroundings, an inexplicable unease gnaws at the edges of your consciousness, sending a shiver down your spine.

You quicken your pace, trying to shake off the feeling of being watched, but it persists, a persistent weight on your shoulders. Each step feels heavier than the last as you struggle to banish the sense of unease from your mind, Jeongin matching your hurried steps beside you.

Glancing over your shoulder, you catch a glimpse of someone dressed all in black, their hood pulled up to conceal their face.

But as quickly as they appeared, they're gone, vanishing into the shadows without a trace. You blink, trying to process what you just saw, but the empty street offers no answers, leaving you to wonder if it was just your imagination playing tricks on you. With a shake of your head, you continue walking, eager to pick up the snacks and return to the safety of your home.

Good news, everyone: we'll be able to debut the finals tonight. Thank you for your patience in this time, it's greatly appreciated.

But before the finals begin, it's time to present the Billboard Consolation Prizes...

*cue Hot Chocolate's "Every 1's a Winner"*

We have fourteen awards to give out this tourney; some were voted upon by the followers of the tourney, some were given out directly.

The first award is one that the fans voted on: The Powerful Mustache Award. This award goes out to the competitor that had the sweetest, sickest 'stache in the game. There were a few nominees that had the lead at some point in the voting, but the winner ended up being...

Frank Zappa! Congratulations, I'm sure some people will Freak Out over this win.

Next is the Failure to Launch Award. This one goes out to the round-one loser that had the most submissions to be in the tourney. With five user submissions (and no wins in this tourney,) the winner of this award is...

Elvis Presley! Elvis unsurprisingly lost out in the first round to Johnny Cash on the Johnny Cash website, but now he has an award for it.

The next award is the Who? What?? Award! The Who? What?? Award goes to the most obscure/strangest submission in the tournament--no shade here, he's a cool dude. This award was originally going to be a user vote, but I figured that nobody else could possibly take the title except...

The one and only Moondog! Shout-out to the one who submitted him in the first place for introducing me and undoubtedly others to this musical character.

Our next award is the Mama's Boy Award! For those of you who haven't seen I Love New York (most of you, I'm assuming; I think the venn diagram for lovers of vintage music and VH1 reality TV is two circles), the Mama's Boys were those contestants handpicked by New York's mom...and in this case, the Mama's Boys were picked by me! If you remember at the beginning of this tournament, I added more contestants to bring the total number of men to 256. These were musicians and singers who were so famous that it was baffling that it wasn't there, or perhaps they were added to round out some band lineups (newsflash: John Bonham and John Deacon were Mama's Boys.) Some were also added to throw in some characters that were significant in music that you might not have thought of, like Jorge Ben, Arthur Lee, or Richie Havens.

Now that I've explained who could be in the running for the Mama's Boy Award, I'll explain how you win: by making it farther than the rest of the contestants selected by the pollmaster. That distinction goes to...

Mickey Finn! Mickey made it to round five without having been nominated by the public, but was bested by Billy Preston.

In a similar vein to the last award, next we have the Spanish Inq-

Next we have the Spanish Inquisition Award. This one was a fan vote, and it went to the competitor that nobody expected to make it as far as they did. Overwhelmingly, the votes went to...

Bruce Springsteen! ...Bruce Springsteen? I can honestly say I didn't expect that result.

Next is the Crossover Award! In the days of yore, a crossover artist was one that was marketable, or could chart, in more than one music chart. In the modern age (or at least in this tourney,) a crossover artist is one that can qualify for more than one tournament. The nominees of this award, one that has been awarded based on fan vote, were all also featured in @hotvintagepoll as well. This award, like the tourney, was based on hotness, and the winner is...

Elvis Presley! This is Mr. Presley's second nomination and second win. (Didn't make it out of round one but he's doing pretty well here.)

Next award is the No Help Required Award. This award goes to the contestant that made it farthest in the tournament without having propaganda submitted during or between rounds--that means nothing on the post, nothing in the propaganda tag. The winner of this impressive feat is...

Stevie Wonder! Stevie made it to the quarterfinals without the help of propaganda, but was ultimately defeated by David Bowie.

The next award, voted on by the fans, also had a surprising winner. This one is the Robbed Icon Award. I asked voters to think of the contestant whose elimination was the most unfair...maybe he was up against a guy you thought was gross, maybe he didn't have enough propaganda, maybe he was just hotter in the 80s and hadn't grown into his looks yet. The votes are in, and the award goes to...

David Bowie! The amount by which he lost was a shock, but he had a most worthy opponent. David, you make a lovely third alternate.

Next is the Multi-Instrumentalist Award. Many of our contestants choose to be a master of one skill, be it guitar, vocals, songwriting, piano...but some would rather be a jack of all trades (and maybe a master of one or two? This is a bad metaphor right now.) I chose a handful of contestants who could truly be considered great multi-instrumentalists, and asked you to say which one was hottest. Without a doubt, the winner is...

George Harrison! Most known for playing guitar, George Harrison is said to have been able to play 26 instruments, from the sitar to the glockenspiel.

Next is the Band Assassin Award. Because the pairings were random, there was always a chance that a contestant's opponents might have something in common with each other (weirdly, Ron Mael both defeated and was defeated by David Jones.) Two contestants, however, each defeated two members of the same band, both wiping out half a lineup. The TWO winners are...

Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix! Paul McCartney beat two members of The Monkees (Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz) in rounds one and two, and Jimi Hendrix took out half of Queen (Brian May and Freddie Mercury) at the same time in the quarterfinals.

Our next award is the All Together Now Award. As you've probably noticed, there were several complete band lineups in the Billboard Hotties Tourney. While some were completed by yours truly, some were all submitted by the voters! This award goes to the first band to have its complete lineup submitted by viewers like you (thank you!) The winner is...

The Who! Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Keith Moon, and Pete Townshend were all submitted by you guys, Keith Moon being the last to round out the lineup. The Monkees were the second group to have their whole band submitted.

In the grand tradition of many beauty pageants, this tournament has a Mr. Congeniality Award. Now, it's a little hard to judge the contestants themselves, as they're unaware of the poll's existence and/or are dead, so we won't be judging their decorum today. Instead, this one goes out to the fans of the contestant. Each poll is going to have its tantrums, but for the most part, this musician had fans who were hilarious, kind, and generally well-behaved. Mr. Congeniality goes to...

Clarence Clemons! One more time...spotlight on The Big Man.

The penultimate award is The Popular Kid Award. This one goes out to the contestant that had the most nominations. You'll see why the Spanish Inquisition Award winner surprised me, because the Popular Kid Award winner is also...

Bruce Springsteen! The Boss is the only contestant to crack the double digits, with ten nominations to his name. David Bowie came in second with nine.

Finally, we have the Not Just a Pretty Face Award. Let's face it, it's fun to gush about how cute your favorite singer is or AWOOGA over a bassist every once in awhile, but that's not what music is really about. It's not about the sight, it's about the sound, and that's what this award is for. Voters were asked to pick their favorite musician music-wise for this one, and they overwhelmingly picked...

David Bowie! You may not have won the beauty pageant, but you sure do sound great.

Thanks for playing, everyone! The final poll will go live tonight at midnight PST.

With such an amazing line-up of Annie nominations, I was indeed taken off guard with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse being the dominant winner.

But still, all these wins were truly deserved for this earth-shattering sequel. Big congrats!

I'm also very happy that Nimona won two Annies, and I couldn't be more prouder with its win for Best Writing - Feature.

Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor made me cry from not just Nimona's amazing writing but also their acceptance speech? These guys are just incredible!

Also, a big congratulations to all the other winners and nominees of this year's Annie Awards. It brings me such joy seeing these incredible creatives get the recognition of such high honour.

And of course, Eric Bauza, thank you for spreading the important message. What a legend!

So what ur thoughts on the bafias nominations David been nomination for best comedy actor while Michael hasn't been nominated for anything and the fan on twitter can't understand why now I personally think after Al aggressive behaviour on a post when they got his name wrong on his favourite radio station and how her stories on ig recently just werid behaviour do u think Al may had sabotaged his chances of getting a nomination for anything

What ur thoughts

Hi there! So I am once again on the road and attending a conference in Las Vegas that just wrapped up, and now I finally have a chance to comment on today's exciting news.

I'm sure everyone has seen by now, but congrats to our lovely David on his first (main) BAFTA nom for Male Performance in a Comedy!

It seems almost surreal that David has never been nominated for a (main) BAFTA before now, and given the breadth of his other recent TV performances (Des, Litvinenko) nominating him for Good Omens season 2 is certainly a choice...especially in the absence of a nomination for Michael. Looking at the list of nominations, it appears that Best Interests was nominated for Limited Drama, as was Sharon Horgan for Leading Actress...but no nomination for Michael for Leading Actor, either. So very quickly, this starts to look like a visible and intentional snub.

In terms of why Michael would be snubbed, I think there are a few possible reasons, but none of them have anything to do with AL. Readers of my blog know that I am never hesitant to call Anna out when it is merited, but in all likelihood the BAFTA nominations were decided long before now, and in my opinion she would not have any influence on whether Michael is nominated regardless of when her social media posts were made. So it does not make sense to place blame on her in this instance.

My feeling is that the reasons for Michael's lack of a nomination (and really, David's nomination specifically for GO) are likely twofold. One is that I'm guessing Amazon/whoever submitted David for consideration didn't want to pit Michael and David against each other. If they were both competing in the same category, it could split the votes, so only nominating one of them seems the best way of avoiding that. The second reason (again, in my opinion) seems to be political.

I was surprised to recently learn that Prince William is the president of BAFTA--British followers, help me out here, because this is very, very weird to a confused American--and as we know, Michael has spoken out on a number of hot button issues over the last few months: Opening a conversation about Welsh independence. The question of the devolution of the crown estate to Wales. And of course, abolishing the title of Prince of Wales. Not to mention all of the backlash incurred by the release of The Way, which was roundly savaged in the press and accused of promoting anti-English sentiments.

Granted, there have been politically active nominees and winners at the BAFTAs in the past, but it really feels like the combination of all these things is somehow working against Michael. Let's also not forget this epic picture from the BAFTA film awards last month, with Michael giving Wills the side-eyest of Welsh side-eyes:

All this said, it is difficult (if not impossible) to think of Michael and David's performances in GO as separate things, because they are so inextricably intertwined. The reason that we got David's incredible performance as Crowley is because Michael was there as Aziraphale, and vice-versa. I think David and Michael themselves would be the first ones to say it, as well as to be in awe and so supportive of each other's acting. The response of fans to this nomination news--saying Michael is a better actor, Michael deserved to be nominated instead, etc.--is so perplexing to me, because I think he was probably the first one in line to congratulate David, and would chew out anybody who put down David's acting for any reason.

I also think that if the lack of a nomination is due to the above-mentioned political reasons, then Michael is probably wearing it like a fucking badge of honor. I think he is also happier for David than anyone else on the planet right now (because that's his boyfriend, damn it), and I truly hope the stars align and give us Michael presenting David with an award again like at the NTAs in 2021. (Michael subsequently carrying David off the stage bridal style would be the cherry on top of the already extremely homoerotic cake.)

I also feel that there is no question David is as taken aback by his nomination/Michael's lack of a nomination for GO as much as the rest of us are. While I have no idea what David's chances of winning truly are, I think he would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically share that award with Michael. And I think he will share that night with Michael no matter what, regardless of what happens on the broadcast.

So many possibilities come to mind, really. I can imagine David and Michael re-enacting Every (without the heartbreaking bits, of course) on stage. I've seen people making references to the infamous Slow Show fic/how it parallels to real life, and while I've only read part of it (haven't gotten to finish), the thought of any kiss between Michael and David is beyond gorgeous to contemplate. Not for the sake of "content" or as a joke, of course (because I don't think they would be willing to kiss as a joke, because if they were, they would've done it by now), but because we would see a facet to Michael and David's relationship that's always been there in private become public. And it would be their choice to share it with us.

Those are my reactions to the BAFTAs announcement today. I'd love to hear from my followers as well with your thoughts and comments. Thanks for writing in! x

Love of a Lifetime | Gong Yoo Imagine

Pairing: Gong Jicheol x Actress!Reader

Requested by anon: Hi!! It would be great if you could write an imagine on Gong yoo with the reader also being some famous of a similar age. Love your work!!!

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 755 words

A/n: this is actually the very first gong yoo request for a normal post! i'm so excited for this one!

Tunes: i started watching spy x family! it's so funny!

“You know,” you began chuckling as Jicheol kissed the back of your neck as he helped you put in a necklace. “For being a private person, you sure do like to be risky.”

Jicheol laughed as he allowed his hands to linger against your exposed skin. Currently the two of you were in the back of a car on the way to an awards show, where you were both presenting an award. What award? Best couple award. Quite ironic to be the one presenting the award after having won it years ago, mere weeks prior to your first date. However it wouldn’t be the first time the two of you were presenting the award.

“Excuse me for enjoying seeing you all dressed up,” he teased, adjusting the strap of your dress. “We rarely get dressed up like this.”

You chuckled, “Can’t exactly do that when we’re busy being parents.”

Jicheol mirrored your chuckle. You were very right about that. “We should hurry though before we’re late. I can already imagine the teasing Dongwook will end up giving me if we’re late.”

Running your hands down your dress, you reached out and adjusted Jicheol’s bowtie, your pointer finger pushing at his hair carefully.

“Let’s go do this!”

~~~

The flashing of the cameras was blinding as you took your lover’s extended hand as you got out of the vehicle. It was something you would never truly get used to no matter how many years you were in the industry for. Spotting a fellow actor, you waved and smiled as you and Jicheol headed in their direction for a brief conversation before being directed down the carpet together. You both stopped every few meters posing for a few pictures before being ushered on into the venue.

Once inside, you were both once again whisked away to an area where all of the presenters were, getting a brief rundown of what your guys would be doing and when. Soon thereafter, you were led to your seats, beginning to chat with a few of the actors around you, particularly the new faces for you. The awards ceremony began before long, filled with much warmness and happiness for each and every single of the nominees and winners of the night. At some point you and Jicheol slipped away ready to present. You had expected to be introduced in quite a funny manner, especially knowing who the hosts were and the long friendship both you and lover had with them. 

But you weren’t expecting to feel as old as you did the moment you two were introduced as the poster couple of the award. Was that really what you had looked like in your early 20s? Dear lord!

Standing in front of the microphone, you felt a bit shy, laughing as you looked at Jicheol to start the small introduction you’d been prompted to say. He too however burst out laughing, the audience of actors and actresses alike joining in.

“It’s an honor once again to be presenting this award,” you laughed out. “And considering our faces are now engraved into the plague, I hope it’s an honor to receive it as well.”

More laughs.

“We had no idea this was something the board was doing, but we are grateful for the small tribute. Now onto the nominees in this category.”

Once all of the nominees had been named, the two of you opened the card to reveal the final winner, calling out the names proudly and watching as the actor couple rose from their seats in shock and made their way to the stage. Congratulating them, you both stepped out of the way as quickly as you could waiting to walk off the stage with them.

“...It goes without saying that finding a good match on set is a miracle of its own. And to be able to connect with someone and make the acting look believable is truly unimaginable. The entire time we were acting I could only hope that our feelings we displayed in our roles could replicate that of the couple that had inspired me to take this role in hopes of being able to find a love of a lifetime.”

You couldn’t help but look at Jicheol, smiling as you grabbed his hand and squeezed it. With both actors done with their speeches the four of you began making your way off the stage, eyeing the camera that had been on the two of you the entire time. Things were sure to be interesting in the morning.

2023 mama

word count: 3.0k

warnings: mention of being sick and food and i think that’s it

an: idk why but i suddenly just wanted to write a scenario for eve at mama. words in bold are english and words in italics are japanese. feedback and reblogs are much appreciated 💐

eve’s masterlist

Eve walked onto the red carpet with a smile on her face. She posed for the cameras, satisfying the journalists’ requests before walking to the interview zone.

“Hello,” she greeted the three MC’s, bowing her head as well.

“Hello,” RalRal greeted. “You’re so pretty.”

Eve smiled shyly. “Thank you.”

“Are your members not here with you?” Hyesul asked, noticing that Eve was by herself.

“Yes. Today, I’m representing ITZY,” she said. “We’re busy with comeback preparations, but the company said I should come to MAMA and see MIDZY’s.”

Hanhae exclaimed. “That was very wise of the company. I’m sure the fans were excited when they heard you were coming.”

“Looking at your dress, I can see why you’re called Princess Nabi,” Hyesul commented, waving her arm in Eve’s direction.

“Thank you, I chose it myself,” Eve said.

“It’s so pretty.”

“Eve-ssi, there were many songs that came out this year,” RalRal mentioned. “Which song do you think was the best?”

“L.O.V.E by Hur Youngji sunbaenim,” she answered without missing a beat, causing the MC’s to laugh.

“Most people would say themselves or they would beat around the bush and not give us an answer,” Hanhae told her, “but you immediately answered without missing a beat.”

“I was expecting you to say antifragile,” Hyesul admitted.

“Compared to L.OV.E, antifragile is not up there. It’s not close,” Eve said.

They continued to talk a little bit more before their interview time was over and Eve walked off camera.

“This time you will meet the best performance queen,” Park Gyuyoung announced after SEVENTEEN accepted their award,” who has captured fans with brilliant performances.”

The nominees were shown on the screen with snippets of the choreography, Eve being one of them.

“I will announce the winner. The 2023 MAMA Awards Best Dance Performance Female Solo. The winner is… Eve.”

Eve stood up as the crowd erupted in cheers, making her way to the stage. She accepted the trophy from Gyuyoung with a bow before turning to face the crowd.

“Thank you so much for this award. The choreographers worked really hard on it and so did the dancers and so did I. I’m very thankful to fans for liking my performances and supporting me, it really means a lot. I’ll continue to work harder to give you great performances that you can be proud of. Thank you, once more. I love you!” She made a cheek heart to the camera and walked backstage with Gyuyoung.

Once she reached backstage, she immediately bolted to her greenroom. “I won!” She exclaimed excitedly, raising the trophy above her head as she stood in the doorway. The staff and dancers in the room cheered for her.

“Congratulations!” Taehee shouted. “Now, sit down.”

Eve nodded as she made her way to the nearest chair, putting the trophy on the table in the centre of the room. Eunjung, one of the dancers, handed her two granola bars to help with her energy levels. “Well done on your hard work, everyone!” She congratulated, unwrapping the first bar. “We’ve done so well.”

Haena, one of the other dancers, snorted. “We haven’t performed yet.”

“I meant all of our other performances,” Eve clarified. “That’s why we won this award.”

“We’ve used all of our energy for the performances,” another dancer, Jinhee, agreed.

“Let’s hope they film the choreography nicely,” Eve commented. She looked up at the screen on the wall that was airing the show to the staff. “We can only have so much.”

Ari walked over to Eve. “Even if the filming isn’t good, the company is going to record your performance and there will be fancams.” She put her hand on Eve’s forehead, checking the girl’s temperature. “You’re good.”

Since it was winter, Eve had been running a fever so her team had been checking her temperature as often as possible. The fact that she was working every day for more than the recommended amount of time probably wasn’t helping. And the fact that most of her work was dance practices for award shows with exhausting choreography definitely wasn’t helping.

“Let me get back out there,” Eve said after eating her second granola bar. She stood up and walked to the door. “I’ll be back, everyone.” She left the room, walking down the wide hallway in the building. As she was walking, she heard someone call her name.

Yoonseo made her way to Eve, giving the older girl a hug when she reached her. “Congratulations, unnie!”

“Thank you, unnie,” Eve joked. Yoonseo’s character in the movie they were in together was older than Eve’s character, so Eve developed a habit of randomly calling Yoonseo ‘unnie.’

“How aren’t you cold?” Yoonseo asked when they had stopped hugging. Since her dress was long-sleeved, she didn’t feel the effects of the cold as badly.

Eve shrugged. “I think it’s because of adrenaline. But I also have a heater near where I’m sitting.”

“Ah, that makes sense. When are you performing?”

“At the end, just before (G)I-dle sunbaenim,” Eve answered.

Yoonseo nodded. “Have fun.”

“Thanks. I’ll try,” Eve said, pretending to sniffle.

Yoonseo laughed. “Unnie, go.”

“Okay, bye.”

“The next award is a very special one,” Sooyoung began after ATEEZ had already walked backstage, “it’s one many artists dream of winning. Let’s meet the nominees.”

The nominees were shown on screen with snippets of their songs playing, Eve being one of them.

“The 2023 MAMA Awards Best Female Artist. The winner is… Wow,” she exclaimed softly when she opened the flip phone, “I’m very honoured to present this award to this artist. Eve!”

Eve stood up, shocked that her name had been the one that was called. She made her way to the main stage as the crowd and artists cheered for her. Once she reached the stage, she hugged Sooyoung before accepting the award.

“Um, thank you for the award of Best Female Artist. It’s a very big honour and the fact that Sooyoung unnie — who used to give me advice for monthly evaluations — is awarding it to me makes it more meaningful.” She paused as the crowd cheered louder. “It’s thanks to MIDZY that I’m able to do what I love and I will continue to work hard to make you proud to be my fan. I also want to thank my members for always supporting me amongst my many schedules and giving me energy when I was tired. Thank you!”

She bowed before walking backstage with Sooyoung. Once they made it to the backstage area, Sooyoung engulfed Eve in a tight hug.

“Ah, congratulations, Nabi!” She squealed out before ending the hug. “How are you already winning Best Female Artist? Didn’t you only start training two weeks ago?” She asked.

“Ahjumma, I’m also shocked,” Eve agreed. “I debuted yesterday, didn’t I? I was just singing Dalla Dalla, wasn’t I?”

Whenever Eve reached a new milestone in her career, she was always in shock at how far she had come. She sometimes forgot when she debuted and had to remind herself that she wasn’t a rookie artist anymore, but instead an idol with four years of experience.

“You had those horrid pigtails just last week,” Sooyoung exaggerated as the two women moved out of the way of the staff. She led them to her greenroom, where Kyungho also was.

Eve frowned as she spoke, “Calling them a ‘horrid’ is a bit of a stretch, I liked them. They were very cute at the time and they’d still be cute now. But I know what you mean,” she finished with a smile before noticing Kyungho sitting on the vanity. “Oh, hi!” She waved at him.

“Oh! It’s the Best Female Artist!” He exclaimed, making Eve blush.

“That’s me.” She looked around the room. “What am I doing here? And why’s your room empty?”

“We were still talking!” Sooyoung whined, sitting on the couch. “How could you forget?”

“I thought we had said everything. What else do we have to say?”

“Yah, do you not know how a conversation works?”

“Why is it my fault?” Eve muttered, her expression to be one of offence.

Sooyoung suddenly pointed at Eve. “We should film an antifragile challenge.”

Eve stared intently at Sooyoung for a few beats. “But–”

“Yeah.”

“–if we film it–”

“Yeah.”

“–won’t… things come out?” She asked, gesturing at Sooyoung’s decolletage.

Sooyoung hung her head as both her and Kyungho burst into laughter. “Obviously, I mean later! On a different day when we’re wearing different clothes.”

Eve shook her head. “Nothing was obvious about that. Anyway, my manager is probably about to go mad because I haven’t magically appeared in my greenroom and I need to change, so I’ll be leaving now. Bye!” She waved to the couple as she left the room.

Eve power walked as best as she could to her greenroom. “Hi, everyone. I’m back!”

“Where were you?” Ari asked when Eve entered the room.

“Sooyoung unnie’s room. She kidnapped me.”

“Okay.” Ari nodded, accepting that answer. She knew that Eve meant that Sooyoung took her somewhere.

“Where is everyone?” Eve asked, noticing how the dancers weren’t there.

“They went to stretch,” Ari said. “Also, Yeji was trying to FaceTime you,” she mentioned as Eve sat down and put her trophy next to her other one.

Eve picked up her phone from the table, unlocking it and going to hear missed calls. She pressed on Yeji’s profile and waited as the phone rang.

“Unnie!” Yeji squealed when she picked up. “You won two awards!”

“I did, I did!” Eve leaned forward to show her trophies. “How’s practice?”

“Boring and tiring,” Yeji answered. “We’re on a break and the other members went to a cafe.”

Eve groaned. “I’m suddenly craving coffee from that cafe by the dorm.”

“Right, right. How is it being there by yourself?”

Eve sighed. “Lonely. I’ve been sitting next to Le Sserafim most of the time, but I still miss the members. It’s more fun when we’re all here.”

“I see,” Yeji said in a teasing tone, trying to lighten Eve’s mood, which she succeeded in. “When is your performance?”

“Soon, actually. So, I need to change and stretch and do my makeup again.”

“Okay. We’re going to watch your performance so we’ll be rooting for you.” She made a fist with her hand, showing it to the camera. “Fighting!”

“Fighting!”

Eve went on stage for her performance. It consisted of two introduction tracks she produced just for this award show and antifragile. She made sure to use a good amount of energy to deliver a good performance for the fans to watch. The cheers from the audience gave her a lot of energy and helped her keep going until the end, despite how sore her body was from the dance.

Eve sat in her seat next to Chaewon. As (G)I-dle’s performance came to an end, the girls began to talk amongst themselves. Since Eve was a bit tired, she was laughing at everything they said. They quieted down when Seungryong walked onto stage.

“I was shown a lot of love when I was in Moving, portraying a character with superpower abilities,” Seungryong said. “Looking at the K-Pop stars here today, I also think they have superpowers. Let’s meet the nominees for this award.”

The nominees were shown on screen with snippets of their songs playing, Eve being one of them.

“The 2023 MAMA Awards Artist of the Year. The winner is…”

“Wouldn’t it be so funny if he called my name and then was, like ‘Sike?’” She asked, pointing at herself as she and Sakura laughed.

“...Eve!”

Due to Eve still laughing with Sakura, she didn’t hear her name being called. Chaewon, however, pushed her up. Eve stood, taking note of how the audience was applauding, and joined in, not realising they were applauding for her. The rest of the Le Sserafim members figured out that Eve was applauding for a different artist, so they ushered her to walk down the stairs and make her way on stage. Eve obliged easily, a confused expression on her face as she walked, before it dawned on her what was happening, her expression changing to one of disbelief. As she approached Seungryong, she pointed at herself to make sure that she was the one that was called and he nodded in response, giving her her award. She bowed to him before approaching the mic stand.

She cleared her throat a few times, trying to think of something to say. “Um… I wasn’t expecting to win,” she admitted. “I… This is crazy!” She shook her head to clear her head. “Thank you to all of the songwriters and producers and composers that I worked with for eudaimonia. I learnt a lot from all of you and I’m very thankful for the knowledge I gained. Uh, thank you to my stylist, makeup artist and hairstylist for making me look pretty on stage and in the music videos. Thank you to my managers for organising my schedule as nicely as possible. Thank you to the various teams that had a part in eudaimonia. Thank you to my members for helping me with songwriting and coming up with music video concepts and choreography ideas– Oh, thank you to my choreographer and dancers! Because of you, I’m able to give really good performances. Thank you to Hyoyeon unnie and Momo unnie for agreeing to feature on the album. It means a lot, a lot. And of course, thank you to MIDZY’s everywhere that listened to the album and streamed it and bought it. Very cool and very fun of you. Because of all of the people I mentioned, I was able to win Artist of the Year and I’m very thankful to each and every one of you. I’ll make sure to… I forgot what I was going to say, but I’m sure it was going to be so incredibly smart. I’ve never won Artist of the Year before, so I don’t really know what to say, so I’ll just stop here. I love you!”

She bowed to the crowd once more before walking off stage with Seungryong. Once they reached backstage, she walked quietly to her greenroom. “Something strange just happened.”

“You won Artist of the Year!” Haena exclaimed excitedly.

Eve pointed at Haena. “That’s the strange thing I’m talking about.”

For the next five minutes, Eve’s greenroom was loud with cheers of excitement as she stood there with her arms crossed.

“This is crazy,” she commented when everyone had calmed down.

Eunjung, who was scrolling on her phone, exclaimed, “You’re the first female artist to win Artist of the Year since 2011 — which was Girls’ Generation sunbaenim — and you’re the first solo female artist in the history of MAMA to win Artist of the Year!”

“This is crazy!”

Ari handed Eve’s phone to the younger woman. “You have a lot of texts.”

Eve opened her phone, still standing up, and opened her KaKaoTalk, seeing an influx of messages from practically everyone on her contact list. She read through as many as she could and responded to them, trying her hardest not to blush when she got to San’s. Thinking of her boyfriend, she sighed. Even though they were both at the same award show, they barely spoke to each other. The only time they had interacted the whole night was when they were sitting near each other and waved.

She responded to his message with three pink sparkly hearts and a face savouring food — her favourite emojis. She looked up from her phone, noticing that SEVENTEEN was beginning to walk off stage after accepting their award.

Just then, a staff member poked his head in the room. “It’s almost time for the ending stage.”

“Ah, yes.” Eve put her phone and trophy down, following the staff member out of the room.

“Congratulations on your win.”

“Thank you.”

Eve was led to a different stage entrance, where she saw Yunjin’s bright red hair. “Hi, hi,” she said when she was behind Yunjin.

Yunjin turned around with a gasp, hugging Eve. “Unnie, congratulations!”

“Thank you, thank you. Congratulations to you guys too.”

They continued to congratulate each other before making their way onto the stage so they could see fans one last time before leaving. The stage was full with artists, all waving to fans or talking to each other. Eve made her way around the stage, eventually losing Yunjin somewhere. She smiled at Wooyoung when she noticed him.

“Congratulations on your awards,” she told him.

“You too. Your performance was great!” He complimented, throwing her a thumbs up. “San was watching you like this–” he imitated the fond smile his member had when Eve was performing.

Eve giggled. “I’m not quite sure how to respond to that. But where is he?”

Wooyoung looked over his left shoulder before feeling an arm go around his right. “There he is.” He pointed at the member hanging off of his side.

“Hi,” Eve said, smiling at San.

“Hi,” San replied, smiling at Eve. “Your performance was wow!”

“Thank you! So was yours! And if you could refrain from taking your shirt off in public, there are so many people who would appreciate it.”

San shrugged. “It was for the performance. Just to drive the point home.”

“Yeah, yeah. The new song sounds good!” She complimented. “Very catchy.”

San blushed. “Thanks, we try.”

“Yeah, well, duh!”

Wooyoung cleared his throat, not liking how his friends seemed to forget that he was there.

“I should probably get going before people start to get suspicious,” Eve said before giving them a small wave, not noticing how San whipped his head around to watch her walk away.

The rest of the show was a blur: she spoke to so many people, nearly bumped into half a dozen and immediately threw herself onto the couch in her greenroom.”

“I can’t wait to go to bed,” she said.

Ari and Taehee shared a look before the former woman tapped Eve’s leg. “Don’t forget, you have the after-party.”

“Ugh!”

if you had a vote who earned it more for you lily or emma

1) I don’t want to see the word earned again in 2024 😂

2) I am half-way through KOTFM and haven’t started Poor Things yet so I got nothing for you

I can’t bring myself to talk about merit/deserved when it’s not an equal playing field and poc aren’t given the same opportunities as their white counterparts.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees because it means the world to them. I’ll celebrate extra hard for the POC who are able to get through and get there. However it’s truly a broken system.
