10 Shirbert Moments from Anne of Green Gables series I think about a lot

In honor of Valentines Day I thought I would post a list of some of my favorite Anne and Gilbert moments. It was hard to narrow it to just ten as I have been going through all nine books and trying to queue posts about all their iconic moments through the series; However I decided to pick the ones that I remember even when I haven’t read the books in a while. I didn’t have the heart to rank them properly so they’re just listed in chronological order.

1. His future must be worthy of its goddess

In the twilight Anne sauntered down to the Dryad’s Bubble and saw Gilbert Blythe coming down through the dusky Haunted Wood. She had a sudden realization that Gilbert was a schoolboy no longer. And how manly he looked—the tall, frank-faced fellow, with the clear, straightforward eyes and the broad shoulders. Anne thought Gilbert was a very handsome lad, even though he didn’t look at all like her ideal man. She and Diana had long ago decided what kind of a man they admired and their tastes seemed exactly similar. He must be very tall and distinguished looking, with melancholy, inscrutable eyes, and a melting, sympathetic voice. There was nothing either melancholy or inscrutable in Gilbert’s physiognomy, but of course that didn’t matter in friendship!

Gilbert stretched himself out on the ferns beside the Bubble and looked approvingly at Anne. If Gilbert had been asked to describe his ideal woman the description would have answered point for point to Anne, even to those seven tiny freckles whose obnoxious presence still continued to vex her soul. Gilbert was as yet little more than a boy; but a boy has his dreams as have others, and in Gilbert’s future there was always a girl with big, limpid gray eyes, and a face as fine and delicate as a flower. He had made up his mind, also, that his future must be worthy of its goddess. Even in quiet Avonlea there were temptations to be met and faced. White Sands youth were a rather “fast” set, and Gilbert was popular wherever he went. But he meant to keep himself worthy of Anne’s friendship and perhaps some distant day her love; and he watched over word and thought and deed as jealously as if her clear eyes were to pass in judgment on it. She held over him the unconscious influence that every girl, whose ideals are high and pure, wields over her friends; an influence which would endure as long as she was faithful to those ideals and which she would as certainly lose if she were ever false to them. In Gilbert’s eyes Anne’s greatest charm was the fact that she never stooped to the petty practices of so many of the Avonlea girls—the small jealousies, the little deceits and rivalries, the palpable bids for favor. Anne held herself apart from all this, not consciously or of design, but simply because anything of the sort was utterly foreign to her transparent, impulsive nature, crystal clear in its motives and aspirations.

-- Chapter XIX, Anne of Avonlea

2. For the first time her eyes faltered under Gilbert’s gaze

“What are you thinking of, Anne?” asked Gilbert, coming down the walk. He had left his horse and buggy out at the road.

“Of Miss Lavendar and Mr. Irving,” answered Anne dreamily. “Isn’t it beautiful to think how everything has turned out . . . how they have come together again after all the years of separation and misunderstanding?”

“Yes, it’s beautiful,” said Gilbert, looking steadily down into Anne’s uplifted face, “but wouldn’t it have been more beautiful still, Anne, if there had been NO separation or misunderstanding . . . if they had come hand in hand all the way through life, with no memories behind them but those which belonged to each other?”

For a moment Anne’s heart fluttered queerly and for the first time her eyes faltered under Gilbert’s gaze and a rosy flush stained the paleness of her face. It was as if a veil that had hung before her inner consciousness had been lifted, giving to her view a revelation of unsuspected feelings and realities. Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

Then the veil dropped again; but the Anne who walked up the dark lane was not quite the same Anne who had driven gaily down it the evening before. The page of girlhood had been turned, as by an unseen finger, and the page of womanhood was before her with all its charm and mystery, its pain and gladness.

Gilbert wisely said nothing more; but in his silence he read the history of the next four years in the light of Anne’s remembered blush. Four years of earnest, happy work . . . and then the guerdon of a useful knowledge gained and a sweet heart won.

-- Chapter XXX, Anne of Avonlea

3. I just want YOU

“I have a dream,” he said slowly. “I persist in dreaming it, although it has often seemed to me that it could never come true. I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and dog, the footsteps of friends—and YOU!”

Anne wanted to speak but she could find no words. Happiness was breaking over her like a wave. It almost frightened her.

“I asked you a question over two years ago, Anne. If I ask it again today will you give me a different answer?”

Still Anne could not speak. But she lifted her eyes, shining with all the love-rapture of countless generations, and looked into his for a moment. He wanted no other answer.

They lingered in the old garden until twilight, sweet as dusk in Eden must have been, crept over it. There was so much to talk over and recall—things said and done and heard and thought and felt and misunderstood.

“I thought you loved Christine Stuart,” Anne told him, as reproachfully as if she had not given him every reason to suppose that she loved Roy Gardner.

Gilbert laughed boyishly.

“Christine was engaged to somebody in her home town. I knew it and she knew I knew it. When her brother graduated he told me his sister was coming to Kingsport the next winter to take music, and asked me if I would look after her a bit, as she knew no one and would be very lonely. So I did. And then I liked Christine for her own sake. She is one of the nicest girls I’ve ever known. I knew college gossip credited us with being in love with each other. I didn’t care. Nothing mattered much to me for a time there, after you told me you could never love me, Anne. There was nobody else—there never could be anybody else for me but you. I’ve loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.”

“I don’t see how you could keep on loving me when I was such a little fool,” said Anne.

“Well, I tried to stop,” said Gilbert frankly, “not because I thought you what you call yourself, but because I felt sure there was no chance for me after Gardner came on the scene. But I couldn’t—and I can’t tell you, either, what it’s meant to me these two years to believe you were going to marry him, and be told every week by some busybody that your engagement was on the point of being announced. I believed it until one blessed day when I was sitting up after the fever. I got a letter from Phil Gordon—Phil Blake, rather—in which she told me there was really nothing between you and Roy, and advised me to ‘try again.’ Well, the doctor was amazed at my rapid recovery after that.”

Anne laughed—then shivered.

“I can never forget the night I thought you were dying, Gilbert. Oh, I knew—I KNEW then—and I thought it was too late.”

“But it wasn’t, sweetheart. Oh, Anne, this makes up for everything, doesn’t it? Let’s resolve to keep this day sacred to perfect beauty all our lives for the gift it has given us.”

“It’s the birthday of our happiness,” said Anne softly. “I’ve always loved this old garden of Hester Gray’s, and now it will be dearer than ever.”

“But I’ll have to ask you to wait a long time, Anne,” said Gilbert sadly. “It will be three years before I’ll finish my medical course. And even then there will be no diamond sunbursts and marble halls.”

Anne laughed.

“I don’t want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. You see I’m quite as shameless as Phil about it. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more ‘scope for imagination’ without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn’t matter. We’ll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.”

Gilbert drew her close to him and kissed her. Then they walked home together in the dusk, crowned king and queen in the bridal realm of love, along winding paths fringed with the sweetest flowers that ever bloomed, and over haunted meadows where winds of hope and memory blew.

-- Chapter XLI, Anne of the Island

4. Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.

"Gilbert darling, don't let's ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins!"

Today has been a day dropped out of June into April. The snow is all gone and the fawn meadows and golden hills just sing of spring. I know I heard Pan piping in the little green hollow in my maple bush and my Storm King was bannered with the airiest of purple hazes. We've had a great deal of rain lately and I've loved sitting in my tower in the still, wet hours of the spring twilights. But tonight is a gusty, hurrying night . . . even the clouds racing over the sky are in a hurry and the moonlight that gushes out between them is in a hurry to flood the world.

"Suppose, Gilbert, we were walking hand in hand down one of the long roads in Avonlea tonight!"

Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you. You don't think it's irreverent, do you? But then, you're not a minister."

-- Chapter 9, Anne of Windy Poplars

5. Suitable Places

"(Are you sure you kiss me in suitable places, Gilbert? I'm afraid Mrs. Gibson would think the nape of the neck, for instance, most unsuitable.)”

-- Chapter 12, Anne of Windy Poplars

6. He narrowly escaped bursting with pride

"Anne, this is Captain Boyd. Captain Boyd, my wife."

It was the first time Gilbert had said "my wife" to anybody but Anne, and he narrowly escaped bursting with the pride of it. The old captain held out a sinewy hand to Anne; they smiled at each other and were friends from that moment. Kindred spirit flashed recognition to kindred spirit.

-- Chapter 6, Anne’s House of Dreams

7. Queen of my heart and life and home

"Gilbert, would you like my hair better if it were like Leslie's?" she asked wistfully.

"I wouldn't have your hair any color but just what it is for the world," said Gilbert, with one or two convincing accompaniments.

You wouldn't be ANNE if you had golden hair—or hair of any color but"—

"Red," said Anne, with gloomy satisfaction.

"Yes, red—to give warmth to that milk-white skin and those shining gray-green eyes of yours. Golden hair wouldn't suit you at all Queen Anne—MY Queen Anne—queen of my heart and life and home."

"Then you may admire Leslie's all you like," said Anne magnanimously.”

-Chapter 12, Anne’s House of Dreams

8. Annest of Annes

But the best of all was when Gilbert came to her, as she stood at her window, watching a fog creeping in from the sea, over the moonlit dunes and the harbour, right into the long narrow valley upon which Ingleside looked down and in which nestled the village of Glen St. Mary.

"To come back at the end of a hard day and find you! Are you happy, Annest of Annes?"

"Happy!" Anne bent to sniff a vaseful of apple blossoms Jem had set on her dressing-table. She felt surrounded and encompassed by love. "Gilbert dear, it's been lovely to be Anne of Green Gables again for a week, but it's a hundred times lovelier to come back and be Anne of Ingleside."

-- Chapter 3, Anne of Ingleside

9. I couldn’t live without you

Anne felt like a released bird . . . she was flying again. Gilbert's arms were around her . . . his eyes were looking into hers in the moonlight.

"You do love me, Gilbert? I'm not just a habit with you? You haven't said you loved me for so long."

"My dear, dear love! I didn't think you needed words to know that. I couldn't live without you. Always you give me strength. There's a verse somewhere in the Bible that is meant for you . . . 'She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.'"

Life which had seemed so grey and foolish a few moments before was golden and rose and splendidly rainbowed again. The diamond pendant slipped to the floor, unheeded for the moment. It was beautiful . . . but there were so many things lovelier . . . confidence and peace and delightful work . . . laughter and kindness . . . that old safe feeling of a sure love.

"Oh, if we could keep this moment for ever, Gilbert!"

"We're going to have some moments. It's time we had a second honeymoon. Anne, there's going to be a big medical congress in London next February. We're going to it . . . and after it we'll see a bit of the Old World. There's a holiday coming to us. We'll be nothing but lovers again . . . it will be just like being married over again. You haven't been like yourself for a long time. ("So he had noticed.") You're tired and overworked . . . you need a change. ("You too, dearest. I've been so horribly blind.") I'm not going to have it cast up to me that doctors' wives never get a pill. We'll come back rested and fresh, with our sense of humour completely restored. Well, try your pendant on and let's get to bed. I'm half dead for sleep . . . haven't had a decent night's sleep for weeks, what with twins and worry over Mrs. Garrow."

--Chapter 41, Anne of Ingleside

10. Old love light

DR. BLYTHE:- “The old, old love light that was kindled so many years ago in Avonlea ... and burns yet, Anne ... at least for me.”

ANNE:- “And for me, too. And will burn forever, Gilbert.”

A/N: This is actually inspired by their *chuckles* iconic japanese song, Otsukare. The closest translation in English would be “Thanks for your hard work”. Seriously, you guys need to watch their SOPE and OT7 performance of the song! You will laugh your ass off..

It’s been almost a month since you and your team have been burning blood, sweat and tears into this one specific medical case. Working as a medical intern with plentiful senior doctors piling every work on interns is brutal, however you just wade through everything since you did land an internship spot in the most prestigious hospital in the country. You do live in a decent apartment with a nice view you might say, but recently, you’ve been taking refuge in the intern’s lounge for almost a month already. All you want is to caress the soft material of your favorite linen and spend a week on your bed without getting out of it.

Today’s different. You and your fellow interns have cracked the case and have just finished presenting it to a panel of senior doctors. It’s also nice now that the patient in the said case can now breathe a lot easier since there is a higher chance of survival with our proposed medical management. You truly can’t wait to get home.

You also haven’t seen Yoongi, your boyfriend, for almost three weeks. Video calls and missed opportunities was your love story with him since you’ve handled the killer case.

He was very understanding of your situation, especially when you did try to visit him in his apartment one day. You were so drained but you still kept your promise to him for a ‘Movie and Taco Tuesday Night’. Just fifteen minutes into the movie, you were dead asleep on his couch. Sometimes, you even fell asleep while on a video call with him. You felt ashamed that you apologized to him non-stop for a week. He told you that he could compromise so he started visiting you in the hospital. Of course, that was also futile. Both of you would plan to eat lunch together but as soon as you were in each other’s company, beeps from your pager will end your short bout of joy.

You bombarded Yoongi with texts and voice messages that you’re finally free from the shackles of the said case. This weekend will the first whole break you’ve been rewarded with since last month. You receive a text from him asking if there’s any way you could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment. You knew what he meant and you can’t deny that there’s a part of you expecting something to happen as well. Come on, you haven’t touched or caressed your boyfriend for almost a month. You’re too deprived and sexually frustrated. This is no time to be shy about it, not that both of you are shy with each other.

“But how about Hoseok? Won’t he be there?” Oh Hoseok. What a beautiful human. You’ve been together with Yoongi for almost a year already, and they’ve been roommates for the same amount of time. The three of you just clicked together ever since the start.

You met Yoongi through a common friend. Didn’t start officially dating one another until two months later. You would always tease him about it because he took so long to ask for a date just because he felt intimidated by you. You were more of a strong-independent and outgoing type of woman and he was quiet and reserved. It took a month before both of you started bringing each other to your respective apartments. There you met Hoseok. It didn’t take much and it felt natural to be friends with him. Maybe because it felt like the both of you were the same side of a coin.

You used to think that Yoongi and Hoseok were two poles opposite from each other, but you soon realize that’s the best thing about the two of them. That’s why you and Yoongi felt perfect for each other as well.

Although you love your boyfriend dearly, you can’t deny that a small bit of you has been attracted to his roommate. Apart from having a lot of similarities with each other, you do feel that sometimes you share the same mind waves as him. One day when Yoongi was so sick, the two of you left work for the day to stay and care for him. You were amazed that Hoseok knew what he was doing and was really frantic if what he was doing was enough. Seeing somebody else care and love your boyfriend this much warms your heart.

You do try to avoid letting your feelings for him grow any further since Yoongi is your soulmate. You could give the world to Yoongi, that’s how much you love him, and it swells your heart to know that he feels the same for you. You won’t do anything to hurt your precious boyfriend. Ruining their friendship is also the last thing on your mind. You just remind yourself to keep your small fire for Hoseok under control or put out, if possible.

“He said don’t worry about it. He’ll find a way to stay out of our way for the weekend.” Pleased with Yoongi’s reply, you can’t stop thinking of various ways to spend your night with your boyfriend.

With that, you arrive at his apartment that night. Yoongi opens the door, greeting you. You dropped the bags in your hands to the floor and jumped to embrace him, wrapping your arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around your body. He noticed the fresh smell of your strawberry shampoo, a scent he truly missed.

You start to slowly kiss his neck and soon, you felt his hands grip your waist tighter. “Ummm, kitten?” He does enjoy you pouncing on him as soon as you arrived at his apartment but someone from across the room is eyeing the two of you. Your hands start to comb through his hair when he slightly pushed you, stopping you from teasing Yoongi. “Hoseok is still here.” He turns his head to the direction of his roommate and you followed.

Hoseok sat quietly on the other side of the kitchen counter, sipping his water while staring at the two of you. You straighten out yourself, ashamed at being caught in the act by Hoseok. “Don’t mind me. It’s not like it’s my first time catching the two of you in the act.” He quietly laughs as he took another gulp, completely teasing you.

“Don’t tease her, Hoseok.” Yoongi pats your head as he sees you turn shy at Hoseok’s teasing.

“It’s cute that you let her pounce on you every time she thinks you two are finally alone. So hungry for Yoongi?” Hoseok giggles as you shot a hawkish gaze at him. He gets up and took his bag from the chair beside him as he walks towards the two of you, or rather the door. You glance at the darkness outside the window and at your watch.

“Isn’t it too late for a drive?” You ask Hoseok as he pat your boyfriend goodbye before turning to you.

“I’m fine. Why? You worried about me?” He leans down, eyes meeting yours. He pats your head teasingly and you jokily swat it off. “Besides, aren’t you glad you finally have some alone time? This is my reward to you, little girl.”

“Little girl? I may be smaller but I’m older than the two of you!” Yoongi and Hoseok, focused entirely on your face, watched as you apparently try to make your point.

“Yes, we know kitten, by one year… as you constantly try to remind us.” Yoongi hugs you from behind. “Get on with it. Drive safe!” He hits Hoseok by the arm and they did their handshake. Hoseok also lightly hits your arm before opening the door and walking out, leaving you and your boyfriend finally alone in the apartment.

You both swiftly turn to each other at the same time after the realization that you’re finally alone with each other, amusing the both of you. You let out a smile full of sweetness with eyes almost glistening with longingness for Yoongi.

“I missed you, Yoongi.”

“You don’t how much I missed you too, my kitten.”

That nickname. When was the last time you heard the sound of his voice call you like that? You love it. He apparently can call you that in 100 ways possible. Most of the time, you do love it when he’s screaming it while you overdose him with pleasure.

“Should we watch a movie or something?” You suggest as you turn back to get your bags, carefully grabbing the bag filled with food that you plan to cook for him until tomorrow.

“Pass. I think we should start putting that toy to good use.” Yoongi grumbled in a very low tone as he slowly walked to you, bent forward in front of him. It’s been too long since he had a taste of you. Just by smelling you when you arrived already made him so hard in his pants. He bent down to you letting his body fall on your back. You slowly felt his hands crawl from your shoulders down to your hands. “I’ll be taking that promise now.” His breath brushing past your ear made you wet, shivering from anticipation.

A week ago, you may have promised something to Yoongi. When you’re finally done with the case, you promised him that you’ll allow him to dom you. Usually, it’s been always you who’s taking charge in the bedroom and Yoongi being the sub. You absolutely love seeing your boyfriend submitting to you in the bedroom. Although Yoongi is not really a dedicated sub, he loves it when you tell him that it feels so good acting all your fantasies in the relationship. You were the kinkier and more insatiable one between the two of you so he lets you lead. Tonight, you’ll be giving all the reins to Yoongi so when he knew that you’ll be staying with him this weekend, he texted you the lists of toys to bring.

“What do you want me to do?” You stood up and turned to face him. Yoongi understood what you’re asking of him. You are now submitting to him. His chest starts to swell up inside at finally having the chance to reverse the roles between the two of you.

“Start by calling me Sir.” Yoongi grabbed your chin, lightly tapping your cheeks. You gaze at his hooded eyes, now filled with desire and hunger to dominate you, making you starved to get a taste of him. “Kneel.” He pushed you down by your shoulders as he zips open his pants.

His cock sprung out of his pants, hitting you on the cheek. The enticing smell overwhelmed you. You deeply breathed to inhale his musk as your nose hit the tip of his cock. He gulped at the sight of you hungry for his cock. Your hands wandered towards his member when you heard Yoongi click his tongue. You open your eyes and gazed above. “You’ll only do what I tell you to do, understood?” a more commanding tone vibrated out of Yoongi, slightly surprising you at how he exudes himself right now. He brushed his thumb along your lower lips. “Answer me, kitten.” He tightens his grasp on your chin.

“Yes, sir.” You dropped your hands beside you as you let Yoongi, with his cock in hand, brush himself on your lips.

“Good girl.” He continues to swipe the tip of his cock, smearing his pre-cum on your lips. You hold yourself back from licking him and swallowing him whole. Every fiber of your being is getting impatient and just wants to stuff his cock inside your mouth this instant but a promise is a promise. You just have to wait and let him lead. “Stick out your tongue.”

He relishes the sight of you kneeling down for him, tongue out waiting for his cock. He put both of his hands in front of him against the wall as he aligns his cock in the tip of your tongue. “Purple is our safe word. You understand?” He gazes down at you, nodding enthusiastically.

Not soon after, he starts thrusting his cock so deep inside your mouth. Your head is pushed against the wall along with the rhythm and force of each thrusts. Something about his cock just satisfies you perfectly. The length is just enough to gag you but the girth, oh the girth. It hurts your jaw every time you suck him and if you had too much, you know you’re gonna have a hard time chewing your food tomorrow.

Sloppy sounds from the two of you started to fill up the room. Yoongi continues to bury his cock in your throat. He did stay deep for a few seconds a few times, grinding himself on you as you find difficulty to gasp for air. Tears started welling up in your eyes and Yoongi got concerned. You felt him pull away slightly but you assured him quickly that you’re fine. You know yourself that you won’t use the safe word tonight. You never did get to use it ever with Yoongi.

He gripped your neck, ever so slightly choking you as he pulls you to stand and leads you to the living room couch. He pushed you back to crash down on the soft couch. Quickly and not a second more, he crashed his lips with yours. Overwhelmed by the burning contact that’s long overdue, both of you breathed deeply as you allow each other to get intoxicated. Your hands tightly gripped the coach at both sides, controlling yourself from disobeying Yoongi. His tongue starts to lap at your sweet soft lips and continue to coil its way to your tongue.

Yoongi started moaning as he closed the distance between his crotch and your thighs. You felt him grind himself on you and your thighs started squirming at the sight of Yoongi satisfying himself on you. “Open, kitten.” He pushed your mouth open once more with his thumb. “Look at how hungry my kitten is for me. You’re so good for me.” He spits, letting his spit travel down slowly to your mouth. He chuckles at the sight of you swallowing for him.

“Sir, I want your cock now please?” Your thighs squirmed some more, wiggling while tightly closed together.

Yoongi clicked his tongue once more. “You’ve always been impatient. Always skipping foreplay and straight to fucking.”

“But sir, I’m really hungry for your cock.” You beg and whine.

“Good girls get rewards. Am I right, kitten? I have to prepare you well for what’s in store for tonight.” He bends down as he spreads your legs. Your thighs pushed towards you. He groans when he lifts up your skirt, noticing that you chose to come here without any underwear. He glared at you remembering that if he did not control himself a while ago when you were kissing him when you arrived, he could have lifted your skirt right then with Hoseok still present in the room.

“See? I am always so wet for you Sir. I can take your cock right now.” Your pussy, glistening with juices, further inviting him to devour you. He licks his lips before kissing your inner thigh.

“My kitten. When was the last time you touched yourself?” His breathe tickled your clit just as he let his nose slightly touch your clit. Yoongi sees you attempting to grind yourself to his face, impatient for his touch. You bit your lip as you stare and wait for your boyfriend. “Answer me when I ask you a question.” You gasp at the sudden bite on your inner thigh, soon followed by a warm lick from his feverish wet tongue.

“I have not touched myself for three weeks, sir. I really need your cock now, sir. Please.” You whine as you try to hold back your tears.

“Such a hardworking girl. I see you deserve a big reward.” He pulls the lips of your pussy to the side, making it taut and your clit standing to attention. He quickly swiped his tongue up your slit, finally tasting your juices dripping out from your pussy. He could say all kinds of profanities just from tasting you. You scratched and gripped what was around you at the overwhelming sensation. Yoongi continues to flick his tongue swiftly against your clit, followed by slurping and sucking. You arch your back as your hands finds its place on Yoongi’s hair.

His fingers soon landed on the rim of your pussy. He thrusts two inside very deeply, curling it to find your g-spot. You try to cover your mouth to prevent yourself from screaming at the intense pleasure. You’ve been so deprived of any touch for three weeks that just his tongue is enough to make you cum in seconds. However, you try your best to hold it out.

Yoongi fondles your breast with his hand as he licks your clit, while his other hand never faltering from fucking you. Seeing you lose yourself from his touch is making him drunk. He never saw you this submissive with him. With this, he adds another finger in your pussy. He licks your clit furiously as he sees you desperate to scream louder but you bite your lips to hold back. “Do you want to come, kitten?”

You gaze at him, furiously nodding. Begging to be allowed to reach your high. You see him smirk as he continues to thrust his fingers inside you. A second after, he pulled it all out, leaving you surprised and craving for him to return his fingers inside you. “Not yet. We still have to use this.” He lifts up a metal anal plug. He hands out the toy to let it touch your lips. Your eyes stay glued to him as you let your mouth open, sucking the toy. You see him staring at your mouth, licking his lips at how dirty you look right now.

The metal felt cold as it hits your tongue and teeth. You swirled your tongue around the bulbed end and he pulled it out of your mouth. He quickly pushed it inside your pussy without falter. He pulls it in and out twice to lubricate the toy with your juices before stopping just on the entrance of your ass.

You squirm as you felt the toy slowly stretching your behind. The sensation and stretch is too much for your first time. He doesn’t push everything at once, but slowly pulling it in and out as he slowly lets you adjust. He sees you shaking once he did push the entire plug inside you.

He wiped a strand of hair clinging on your sweaty forehead. Despite looking so fucked out, you’re still the most beautiful person he ever saw. You exchange a few seconds of sweet gazes before he inserted three fingers inside your pussy again while his other hand pulls the plug in and out.

“Oh my fuck… Yoongi. I’m gonna..” You came undone as he increased his speed from fucking you after he sees you writhing in reaching your high. You felt washed over with pleasure, vision hazy and ears ringing.

Yoongi still continued to thrust his fingers and the plug as you slowly finish. A sounding pop came from his fingers pulling out of you. He puts his fingers in his mouth, savoring your sweet taste of ecstasy. He curses, eyes closed, as he relishes the familiar taste.

The plug still within your puckered ass, you crawled back to the couch as you try to chase your breathing. Yoongi proceeds to walk back to the bag you left just near the door and when he came back to you, he pulled out a blindfold and a huge 8 inch pink dildo from your bag and placing it on the table in front of you. Yoongi, now fully naked, stood tall as he beckons you to remove all your clothes. “Stand up and sit down on my cock.”

Yoongi grins as he sees you eagerly standing up and waits for him to sit down. As soon as he sat down, he pats his thigh to gesture you to finally have what you’ve been eagerly waiting for. You turn around and before you sat down, you try to pull out the plug. Yoongi sees this and smacks your ass, granting a whimper from you. “I thought I told you not to do anything unless you’re told to. Keep it in!”

He groans like a beast from behind you as he placed both his hand on your waist. He pulls you down and lets his cock claim your pussy not a moment long. You whimper at the violent stretch and even more so when Yoongi started furiously humping his hips off the couch to fuck you harder. You noodle out sensual and erotic moans as you place your hands behind you and on Yoongi’s chest. “You’re so fucking tight.” He squeezed your waist so hard that the ache lingered when his hands left your skin. “You’re milking me. I won’t last if you’re this tight.” He lets out a guttural groan while he inch closer to your body. He marks you intensely on the crook of your neck. His hands wandered in front of you and tightly squeezed your breasts.

It feels so nice and naughty as you submit to the bliss of your love making. The pain from his rough hands is so gentle yet very shameless as well. He felt like a lion starving for his prey, you, who is presented on a silver platter. Every thrust of his cock feels primal. This reversal of roles is new to both of you but you find yourself finely adjusting.

“Do you want me to fill your ass with my hot…and sticky cum?” He sensually whispers into your ears. You quickly turn intoxicated with his erotic voice, scorching hot inside your chest and seeping wet from your pussy at the thought of him equally fucking your hard from your ass.

“Yes, sir. I would love that.” You turn your face to the side, surprising him with a slow and succulent lick across his lips. You felt like a drug to Yoongi, being this submissive to his every whim and drunk on sex. Something good actually came out from having to part with you for three weeks.

He pushes you off and eyes the anal plug still attached to you. He did not expect you to suddenly shake and cum again after he pulled out the plug. You dropped down with legs buckling, but he caught you in time just before you hit the floor. “Are you okay? Is it too much?” He lets you support yourself, bending forward and hands on the table. He bent down with his chest on your back, cock still erect touching your pussy. You chase your breathing and took your time before you answered him.

“I’m okay baby. Just getting used to this new you.” You giggled as you kiss his cheeks. “I promise to use our safe word if it’s too much.” He laughs as he felt you wiggle your butt on his cock.

“Always hungry for me, kitten?” he lets his hands comb through your hair before pulling it all back. You straighten your back, presenting your ass to him. He holds his cock in his hand, aligning it with your tight puckered muscle. “Put the blindfold and get the dildo, sweet kitten.” He lets go of your hair and allows you to bend forward to get the items he asked. You strap the blindfold on and blindly let your hand wander on the table to get the dildo.

As you were about to stand up back to him, you sense a slow shapely pressure on your ass as Yoongi tries to enter you. The unfamiliar and new stretch had you delirious from the pain and pleasure. You both find yourself breath taken as you wander through uncharted waters. Your tightness from behind is nothing compared to your pussy. If you had known how intense and sweet this was, you would have said yes to Yoongi to try this months ago. Yoongi hesitates to push his entire length on you, still taking his sweet time to let you adjust. However, you're patience is nearing its limit with Yoongi’s pace.

You push yourself back on him towards the couch, letting the both of you crash down. You scream at the intense sudden pain of having his cock rapidly filling you up when you fell on his lap. You lean your head back on his shoulder as he allow your scream to die down.

“How many times have I told you to obey me?” He squeezes your cheek, stealing the dildo from your hands. “I’m in charge here, not you kitten.” Yoongi smacking the dildo on your clit has your squirming and closing your legs. You can’t see anything and every sense you have seems to have heightened. “Remember who’s in charge or else, you’ll be punished.”

He gathers the dildo on the entrance of your pussy, lathering your juices around. “Punish me, baby. I’ve been a very impatient and disobedient girl.” You’ve now adjusted well to his cock. Yoongi saw you grind yourself on him, whining for more.

You hear him deeply chuckle then the dildo swiftly entered you until you felt it hit your womb. You try to suppress your voice and Yoongi felt this so he hooked his two fingers in your mouth, playing with your tongue to allow you to let your moans out. The merciless plunge of his cock in your ass and the unrelenting force of the dildo overwhelmed you. It was insane being fucked full by your boyfriend. You were submitting but you never felt this strong and satisfied when you were the one taking charge. The pain, the pleasure and the raw savageness of helplessness made you feel alive.

You respond to his each thrust with untamed moans, hands wandering on his body. You felt completely exposed and unguarded. “Tell me, kitten…” you continue to yield and moan for him when he whispered erotically in your ear. “Are you imagining somebody else’s cock inside your pussy filling you right now instead of the dildo?”

Your moans disappeared as you try to comprehend your boyfriend’s question. However, he continues to thrust in your ass and pussy, making your mind a mush. “I…”

“I think you have someone in mind and it’s not me, kitten.” His erect cock delved deep inside your ass, frozen from thrusting inside you. Although, he continues to push the dildo in and out with a force so savage, you can feel it bruising the entrance of your womb. “I’ve seen how you look at him. Do you wish that his cock should be the one fucking your pussy full right now?”

He gripped your chin with his other hand as you felt words stuck in your throat. You felt your chest tighten at the sudden confrontation. You don’t know if Yoongi is angry and punishing you right now because you can’t see him. He wouldn’t shame you like this normally so you don’t know if this is just the dirty talk or his true feelings. “Sir, I don’t…” you get caught up in your words as your blindfold is starting to get moist from your impending tears.

“I’m not angry kitten. I just want to hear what you truly feel. Whose cock, aside from mine, should be fucking you right now?”

It took you a while to get the knot out of your chest but you did. “I want Hoseok’s! Hoseok’s cock should be fucking me hard right now in the pussy while you destroy my ass!” You screamed. Yoongi slows the pace of the dildo in your pussy and pulls it out. You slumped on him, hungry for a reaction from your boyfriend. The blindfold is not helping the turmoil inside your chest. You want to face him and look straight at him to understand what kind of face he might be making right now.

“Good kitten.” He groaned from behind as he take the blindfold off you. You pry open your eyes, adjusting to the light. A naked figure stood in front of you as you rub your eyes to register the sight. Hoseok was standing tall in front of you and Yoongi, naked in all his glory and stroking his cock.

You jump slightly in your place but Yoongi pushes you back down, granting a sensual quiet moan from you since his cock is still deep in your ass. “Hoseok?!?....Why is he here?”

“This is your reward, little girl.” He continues to stroke his cock in front of you, smugly smirking to look at your boyfriend.

“It’s okay, kitten. I know you want this too.” Yoongi placed his chin on your shoulder as you’re still staring at Hoseok’s face. You turn to your boyfriend and you both stare at each other for a few seconds. You try to read his eyes, unsure if you’re really allowed to finally act on your feelings

“I don’t want to do this if you don’t, baby…” He sensed your panic so he cupped your cheeks to kiss you. A slow and sweet exchange of your lips made you understand that he really is letting you go ahead. He parts with your lips and sweetly gazed at you.

“I want this as well. Go ahead.” Yoongi nods his head to Hoseok, prompting you to allow yourself to submit to both of them. “This is okay. Take care of our girl, Hoseok. I trust you both.” You face Hoseok, who’s still furiously pumping himself to you. With the permission of his older roommate, Hoseok now shamelessly takes in your naked figure as he licks his lips.

He’s been wanting this for so long as well. He developed feelings for Yoongi first, when they became roommates. He’s been so good at hiding it not until Yoongi introduced you to him. At first, he was jealous and irritated whenever you would visit and stay at their apartment. The longer you spent time with Hoseok, he also found himself loving you. Hearing you come undone and screaming with Yoongi every night with just a wall separating him from the two of you was brutal. He loved you both, wanting to touch you and Yoongi as well. He was determined to keep it all a secret up until when Yoongi confronted him.

Yoongi suspected Hoseok has feelings for you with how he acted every time you were with the two of them. Of course, he felt something from you as well. Being quiet and reserved meant that he was very good at reading everybody else’s expressions and feelings. He was proven right when Hoseok confessed with his feelings towards you when he tried to confront him. He was taken by surprise though when Hoseok confessed to loving him as well. He didn’t expect it but also didn’t dislike it. Maybe something in him also feels something for his younger roommate. They did talk it out and came to a conclusion to talk to you about it. Yoongi was the one who initiated the surprise threesome. Hoseok wasn’t on board with it at first but now that you’re here, he’ll accept everything even if you reject him.

You let your lust and feelings take over you. You wait for either of them to command you. Hoseok sees your eyes change from reluctant to now willing to submit to him. He takes it as your acceptance of him. He groans as he walks closer to you, cock in your face. His cock smelled amazing. You take in the unfamiliar yet enticing smell as you sniff his shaft, granting a groan from the two males at the sight of you.

“Suck me now, little girl.” You opened your mouth to invite him in. Hoseok leans his head back as euphoria hits him from the satisfaction of having your warm and wet mouth capture his cock. His cock was different from Yoongi. He’s not as girthy as your boyfriend but the length is amazing. Your mouth is already full but there’s still enough left for your hand to play with. “Fuck, I can’t handle this. You feel amazing.” Hoseok wraps his hands on your hair as he started to furiously rock deep inside your mouth. You could feel him reach your throat. Your moans, now muffled by the huge cock occupying your mouth. Hoseok could come apart right there at the sight of your throat bulging from his cock and from the vibrations of your throat as you try to moan loudly, when Yoongi started tapping Hoseok’s hand away from your head.

“I said take care of her, not kill her.” Hoseok loses his hold on your head when he heard Yoongi as he pulled out of your mouth. You gagged and coughed but you swat your hands at them.

“Yoongi, I’m fine. I actually like it.” You swipe the drool off your lips and turned to face your boyfriend. “I’m not using my safe word, am I? So get on with it and fuck my ass full!” Yoongi and Hoseok, surprised at your outcry and commanding tone, just went quiet.

“I didn’t hear you calling him Sir, did I?” Hoseok grabbed your chin and lightly slapped you. “Did he allow you to take over? No! You’re our slut tonight so just obey us.” You were taken aback at Hoseok’s change in demeanor. You were a dom to Yoongi, but Hoseok felt different. You shiver in your place, unfamiliar with the feeling of fear from disobeying the sultry man in front of you. With Yoongi, you were willing to act as a sub tonight but it felt like you were really a sub to Hoseok.

All you do was agree as he slaps you once more in the cheek. It was not painful as you imagined. You know Hoseok still cared for you and wouldn’t really hurt you so you find yourself relaxing under Yoongi, waiting patiently for Hoseok to now command the two of you under him. “Fuck her hard, Yoongi, so that she knows her place. I’ll make sure to fill her pussy to the brim.” He licks his lips as both you and Yoongi stare at the dominant male.

Yoongi started to lunge his hips towards you, bouncing you on his lap. You scream at the pleasant sensation of being fucked in the ass. You see Hoseok smirking as he lines his cock at your pussy. Slowly, you felt him open up your walls as he continue to plunge his erect and long member. Hoseok gently bites and licks your shoulder as he tries his best not to come apart from the wonders of your pussy. It was heavenly. Filthy moans, your bodies tangled with each other, and sloppy sounds from their cocks entering you filled the room. You three were drunk from the pleasure, frenzy mushing your heads making you groggy.

You wrapped your hands around Hoseok’s back, pulling him towards you. Hoseok, surprised at the sudden proximity of his face with Yoongi, avoids eyes contact as he continue to fuck your pussy hard. Yoongi chuckled at the sight of his younger roommate getting shy despite being so commanding with you and him a while ago. He placed a peck on Hoseok’s forehead. Hoseok turned to Yoongi, now cheeks burning caused by the sweet kiss. They stared at each other, Yoongi sweetly smiling at him and Hoseok smiling at the feeling of being accepted by Yoongi as well.

You pull Hoseok’s face to yours, breaking their small moment. “I want to be filled, sir.” You gaze at him with eyes hooded. Hoseok realized that you’ve gone far off now and all he wants is to satisfy you.

“Little girl deserves her reward.” He looked at Yoongi and soon after, both of them pounded into you furiously. Overwhelming sensation from being full from both holes, Hoseok painfully fucking your pussy up up to the entrance of your womb, and Yoongi fully stretching your ass out. You scream as you let yourself in your bliss. You exploded from the ecstasy brought on by the two men you truly care and love. Yoongi and Hoseok moaned and squeezed their hands on you as they felt you squeeze down on them, milking them to reach their own orgasm.

You twist, still glued to them, as you felt their warm liquid fill you up from the front and behind. The three of you, panting, as all of you let your orgasm finish. Still twined with each other, you hugged Hoseok tightly before he parts from you.

“Are you okay? You came three times, you must be exhausted. I’ll prepare a bath for the both of you.” Hoseok quickly ran back to the bathroom, disappearing from the living room.

Yoongi lifts you up to stand, pulling his cock out your ass. He lets out another groan as he sees you leaking with both of their cum. You truly look filthy right now, but his heart won’t stop pounding in his chest as he take in your beautiful face. He swipes the leaking cum off your thigh and he pulls you back on the couch. He places his fingers coated with cum in your mouth. You willingly suck it clean, tasting the mixture of Yoongi and Hoseok on you. He examines you as you breathe deeply, trying to relax post-coitus.

“Wow. Baby. If I had known how fun it is to see you take charge, I would have let you do it occasionally. Also, that was awesome.” You hug Yoongi as you place your legs across his thighs.

“Are you okay? It was not too much, was it?” Yoongi wipes the sweat off your forehead.

“I’m fine, baby.” You placed your lips on him, intimately. You want him to feel your happiness and ultimately, your intense love for him. “So what does this mean? With Hoseok?”

“I know you love him and he does too. I’ve been suspecting it for a while now. I just waited for either of you to talk to me.” Yoongi tucks in your hair behind your ear.

“But I love you more. You’re the one I want the most.” You quickly rebut him, careful as not to hurt him with any of your words.

“I know, kitten. Trust me, I do love you both too and it makes me happy seeing the two of you together too.”

“But he’s your friend...”

“I love him too, if that’s what you’re worried about.” Hoseok suddenly appeared in the room. “I won’t force myself between the two of you. I’ll go wherever you want me to stay in this relationship. I’m happy with just the two of you knowing how I feel.” He stands straight at the edge of the living room, hesitant to walk further and respecting the current situation.

You turn to Yoongi and silently stared at each other. You quickly understood what this meant. Your heart felt huge and swollen at the amount of love you’re now receiving. You’re loved by Yoongi and Hoseok.

“Come here, Hobi.” You gesture him to come closer and he did, smiling enthusiastically as he knew that the both of you are now accepting him and willing to share each other.

“I love you both!” Hoseok crashed down on both of you, granting a loud giggle from you while Yoongi smiled silently.

No reward can ever top this one. Surely, the night is still young.

Summary: Peter has never been more scared in his entire life. He’s on the run, and the last place he should take refuge in is the Trenches, the deepest and most dangerous place of the Atlantic Ocean. But he’s desperate. If they catch him, it will be the end of him. The Monster of the Trenches is a creature that has been in numerous wars and has lived for a thousand years (or so the folk tales say). Peter has grown up with them, among others; this monster is that old. So Peter expects something big and formless and dark and maybe hungry for siren flesh. What Peter finds is a merman full of scars, a tragic past befitting them, and kindness.

“Cold white walls, keep you from your pad and pen

You just wanna stab again

I can’t believe it’s half this hard You never knew your mind was dark, no!“

Peter Parker, self-proclaimed superhero and honestly a nice guy, finds himself locked within the confines of a top-secret definitely not legal medical facility. Maybe it was the kicks to his head, or possibly the chains that kept him hogtied in the back of the vehicle, or even the horrible experimentation was done to his body but something tells him that he is in a No Good Very Bad Place.

Not that he can really feel much of the pain anymore. He didn’t realize he was falling perfectly in place for these doctors’ nefarious plans and now he can’t think much of anything anymore. He’s following orders. He’s here for Shield, right? The doctors tell him he’s doing good. He’s amazing. He’s Their perfect soldier and Peter can’t help but say yes to everything asked of him.

They’re all addressed to “Ben, Love Peter.” And they’re all just a little too on the nose regarding Spidey’s personal problem of the month. Wade isn’t going to say no to a little extra insight into how to woo his very best Spider-Friend, though.

Wade Wilson is a disgraced alpha trapped in the in-between of east and west, high society and labor, recluse and shunned. Though he’s convinced himself that he’s just fine on his own, others are more than happy to meddle in his perfectly quiet life before he loses his grip on reality more than he already has.

Peter Parker is a down on his luck omega who needs money fast. Knowing that laying tracks is a quick ticket to a short life, he let himself be talked into joining the mail order omega program. He’s careful about the alpha he chooses and determined to carve out a life for himself with a handsome stranger.

Deadpool comes back from a mission to find his favorite Spider-Man, his only Spider-Man, the boxes so helpfully remind him, missing. Specifically, kidnapped. Mysterio’s remaining crew were brimming with the need for revenge after their leader’s death, and so they vowed to use updated B.A.R.F tech to learn Spider-Man’s specific superpowers in order to harness it for themselves; another failed attempt to continue Mysterio’s grandiose plans of becoming the best superhero ever. With the help of the Avengers Peter is found, connected to a device not even Tony has full comprehension of.

Deadpool valiantly volunteers to be hooked up; death was a regularly scheduled program for him, after all. He’d guide Spider-Man to a subconscious level that was safe to be extracted from, and (total bonus!) hopefully win his favor as Spidey’s knight in shiny leather! But once Deadpool enters, his deepest, darkest, repressed memories are on display for him and his friendly neighborhood spider to see. Deadpool fears not only what Spider-Man will think of him after it all, after everything he sees, but just what he’ll have to relive in order to rescue the man who not-so-secretly holds his heart.

When she shows up at his door, begging him to watch her dog for a week while she leaves town, he can’t really bring himself to say “no”.

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 13k

Summary: Between college and his side jobs and his alter-ego, Peter barely has the time to sleep at his apartment, let alone spend any time hanging out there, which works out since it’s a cheap and empty and depressing apartment, now that he and Ned aren’t roommates on-campus anymore. So hearing his rude loudmouth neighbor through the wall all the time shouldn’t matter much, except it’s classic Parker to somehow make friends with the crazy guy next door, to the point he’s actually sad to leave his crummy apartment. But Peter seems to have a real penchant for bad company, since he’s spending all his free time with someone he’s never seen, only heard through the wall, and spending most of his patrolling time with someone else crazy, since Deadpool showed up recently and somehow monopolized his time as Spider-Man. It’s probably just a phase. Everybody goes through a fall-catastrophically-hard-for-separate-but-unavailable-people phase, right?

Peter finds himself pulled from his home and dragged through different dimensions as he and Cable search for the key to their survival. Meanwhile, they keep running into different versions of Peter’s boyfriend. It seems that everything connects back to Wade.

Summary: Peter is about to graduate college and become an officially licensed Pro Hero. Too bad he’s already burnt out. Years of operating as an illegal vigilante with a supposedly subpar Quirk will do that to you. But just as he’s about to quit altogether, he meets actual Pro Hero Deadpool, a reformed villain who works hard to make sure others don’t follow in his footsteps. Despite this achievement, Wade’s just as jaded as he is and has completely given up on making things better.

As their relationship deepens, Peter realizes he is not quite ready to give up on being a Pro Hero, a resolve that is tested when a new Pro Hero agency comes to town and takes over. The so-called “Guard” is a group of four eight-foot men with eerily similar Quirks—and they have no intention of making nice with New York City’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

notable moments from The Homecoming Job

leverage 1.02

Dr. LeRoque: Pardon me, Mr. uh?

Nate: Oh, uh, Nathan Ford. You’re Dr. LeRoque?

Dr. LeRoque: Can I talk to you outside?

Perry: Doc, he’s cool, I found him on the internet.

Dr. LeRoque: Yes, that never goes badly. (to Nate) With me.

Nate: Uh… I’ll be in touch.

(Perry hands him the flash drive and Nate follows the doctor out of the room)

okay but big mood “I found him on the Internet” “that never goes badly”

but also,,, bruh we NEED to know how their clients found them,,, like ??? H O W

- - - - -

Dr. LeRoque: You can’t just come in here and get his hopes up!

Nate: I’m just here to provide options.

Dr. LeRoque: There are no options.

Nate: The Veteran’s hospital …

Dr. LeRoque: Is 400 miles away and has a five month waiting list. Everybody in that rehab room is a reservist. When reservists get out they get sent home no matter where home is or how far it is from the treatment they need. Nobody thought this through. We’re not a rich hospital, I cashed in every favor I had to take care of these kids for as long as I could but I have to go back in there and tell Perry we can’t treat him anymore. I have to do that. Run your scam on somebody with money.

Nate: It’s not a scam. I’m here to help.

Dr. LeRoque: People don’t just show up to help. That’s not the way the world works.

leverage really called out the us government’s negligence and neglect for veterans in episode TWO and we stan them so hard for it

leverage said “go big or go home” from the VERY beginning

- - - - -

[Audition Room]

Sophie: Why? Why? I can’t live like this anymore. With the lies and the filth. No. Help me. I want to be clean. I want to be clean.

(two directors watching are overwhelmed by just how awful Sophie is)

Rogers: Yeah, you understand this is a soap commercial, right?

Sophie: Uh huh. When I thought about Peggy I came up with this idea that the dirt was really this giant metaphor, for sin.

(Sophie’s cell rings, she glances at her purse)

Rogers: You should take that. No, no you should take that.

Sophie: Oh. (answers phone) Hello? When? (hangs up) Peggy killed her first husband.

Rogers: Thank you

I literally scream every time I LOVE SOPHIE S O MUCH WHAT THE FUCK

- - - - -

[Parking Lot]

(one man is laying on the hood of a car and another falls on top of him. Eliot turns away from the car as the last man pulls a gun on him. They stare at each other for a moment, then a phone rings)

Eliot: That you or me?

(man seems unsure as the phone continues to ring)

Eliot: Could be important. Does your mama have your number?

(man looks down and Eliot grabs the gun, punching the man in the neck. The man goes down, choking. Eliot unloads the gun and tosses it away before pulling out his phone and answering it)

Eliot: Yeah? Nothing, why?

“nothing”? I’m-

- - - - -

(guard walks by a painting hanging in a museum gallery. He looks away for a moment, and when he looks back a rope is dangling where the painting had been. A cell phone rings)

Parker: Parker. Shh. No, I wasn’t shushing you.

I love her, your honor

- - - - -

(Parker, Eliot and Sophie come around the corner and head down the hall)

Parker: From the first job?

Eliot: Yeah.

Parker: I put all that money in a Swiss bank account.

Eliot: Millions of dollars and you didn’t buy anything?

Parker: I don’t like stuff, I like money.

Sophie: I bought a little retirement home, an island.

Eliot: Nice.

Sophie: In Dubai. And Tokyo.

Parker: What about you?

(they reach the door which has a small envelope with Sophie’s name written on it. Sophie takes it off the door and opens it)

Eliot: Yeah, I’m not about to tell two known thieves what I did with a multi-million dollar payout.

Sophie: Don’t you trust us?

(Eliot doesn’t answer.)

- - - - -

Hardison: This is our new cover story. Welcome to Leverage Consulting and Associates, founded in 1913 by the great Harland Leverage the Third.

(Hardison points to a painting on the wall of an older man that greatly resembles Nate)

Sophie: I’m sorry. Nate is going to kill you.

Eliot: Did you paint that?

Hardison: I’m gifted.

Eliot: That’s weird

HARLAND LEVERAGE THE THIRD

- - - - -

Hardison: Now Leverage Consulting Inc. is squeaky clean, all corporate taxes on record as being paid for the last ninety years. (He gives them each a cell and a folder) All your identities as partners, your payroll taxes are paid, you guys have pension plans and dental, those are employment records, case files and company newsletters.

(the group walks the halls of the Leverage offices as they discuss the files)

Parker: In 1998 I won the sack race at the 4th of July picnic. Cool.

Hardison: Now these, these are your offices. Now you can bring something like a photo, you know what, a plant! I’m a big supporter of dandelions.

hardison goes hardcore when coming up with backstories

- - - - -

(Hardison opens doors to a conference room that holds a long table with many chairs around it. One wall is dedicated to large TV screens)

Sophie: Nice.

Eliot: My man.

Hardison: Long version or the short version?

Sophie: Short.

Eliot: Short version.

Parker: Shortest.

(Hardison hits a remote the TV screens illustrate his explanation)

Hardison: Photo and video forensics programs, back doors into every electronic banking system in the world, running heuristic data crawls all over the news sites to find our clients, oh also!

Parker: This is the short version?

Hardison: Facial recognition database tied into CIA, NSA and the FBI. But, the real pièce de résistance (changes screens to sports games) DirectTV HD Total Sports Package. NFL, NBA and I threw in a little bit of hockey ‘cause I know you people like that.

Eliot: Hockey.

hardison nests SO HARD

like, bring in all the highest tech into your cozy new office you designed for you and your fellow adopted criminals? heck yeah

- - - - -

Nate: Our client is the cameraman. Corporal Robert Perry. He says that the Castleman contractors spooked and started firing.

Eliot: 5.56 NATO rounds mixed in with some 9 mils from the sub-machine guns. Insurgents would have used AK-47s with 7.62 ammo. It has more of a... (hits the back of his hand to his palm) crack. Contractors shot 'em up all right.

Parker: You ID’d the weapon from the gunshot sound?

Eliot: It has a very distinctive sound

D I S T I N C T I V E

- - - - -

Nate: Yes, and lobbyists in every office in Washington, DC. The problem with a cover-up is all the paperwork it takes to keep the lies straight.

Hardison: Internal emails, memos.

Nate: Exactly.

- - - - -

[Roof]

[Hardison and Parker are wearing black and connected to repelling gear)

Hardison: I gotta go back to the office I just remembered something.

Parker (adjusting Hardison’s harness): What?

Hardison: I just remembered gravity and the squishiness of all my manly bits.

Parker: I designed this rig myself. The line is carbon fiber. Five point harness. Weight support here, here, and here. Auto-breaking resistance on the main pulley back here.

Hardison: Okay cool, so it’s tested?

Parker: Not yet.

Hardison: Not yet? When the hell was you gonna test it?

(Parker pushes Hardison off the roof. She smiles, he screams)

Parker: Big baby.

(she jumps after him. Hardison screams until he stops upside down. Parker lowers herself to his side)

Hardison: Seriously? Seriously

hardison’s first time rappelling decidedly Did Not Go Well

- - - - -

Sophie: My company’s focused on meeting senators, but I’m thinking congressmen.

DuFort: You know the great thing about congressmen? Fifty, a hundred grand well spent will get one elected, but then once they’re in the incumbency rate is over 95 percent so you can get an average 18, 20 years’ use out of one of them. In these uncertain times buying a United States congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.

[DuFort’s Office]

Hardison: Oh I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I’m a professional criminal and I find that disturbing

they’re going at america’s THROAT in this one and I love it. thank you john rogers

- - - - -

(while DuFort is distracted Sophie pulls out his wallet and removes the RFID card with her teeth. DuFort takes off his coat to look at the stain)

I am but a simple gay and this was Hot™

- - - - -

the phones hardison gave the team have six main buttons: internet, text, files, to-do, id scan, and mail

- - - - -

Nate: Parker, what’s the status of the voicelock?

[DuFort’s Office]

Parker: Uh, I’ve been sampling DuFort’s speech but I still need a few more sounds.

[Private Party]

Nate: How many?

[DuFort’s Office]

Parker: Well I only need the sounds puh, tuh, oo, ah, eh, oh, ah, ke, a, ef.

[Private Party]

Nate: Ah, only those. Eliot.

(Eliot walks by carrying two trays of appetizers)

Eliot: I’m on it. Pardon. (approaches Sophie and DuFort) Hello.

Sophie: Ooh. Mmm.

Eliot: (to DuFort) Appetizer, sir?

DuFort: Sure, what do you got?

Eliot: I’ve got the pâté d’escargot avec bière d'Argentine and (looks at second tray and grimaces) what looks like old duck, kind of greasy.

DuFort: I guess I’ll have the first one.

Eliot: Of course.

(Eliot offers him the second tray and Dufort looks at him expectantly)

DuFort: Well? May I have some?

Eliot: The greasy duck?

Sophie: Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn’t have the greasy duck.

Eliot: No I wouldn’t suggest it.

DuFort: No, the other one.

(Eliot pretends confusion)

DuFort: The the pâté d’escargot with the bière d'Argentine!

Eliot: Excellent choice sir (gives DuFort the first tray).

DuFort: (takes food) Who is this clown?

[DuFort’s Office]

Parker: Pretty good. Got most of them. Okay, now all I need is ef, uh and kuh.

[Private Party]

(DuFort spits out the appetizer he has taken)

DuFort: This is shrimp!

Eliot: Very good then. (walks away)

DuFort: It’s shrimp you stupid F----!

[DuFort’s Office]

Parker: Oh, there they are. Really loud too

parker being so competent and knowledgeable about voice activation codes? amazing. iconic.

and the whole scene with eliot and the food? hilarious.

also there already another meta post about this but this scene shows just how SMART eliot is,,, like coming up with that on spot??? don’t get me wrong, hardison is “the smartest man [any of them know]” but damn

- - - - -

continuing list of non-weapon objects eliot uses as weapons:

an IV stand

+ bonus

nate: the defibrillator/AED

- - - - -

Perry: Mr. Ford!

(Perry pushes a defibrillator towards Nate, who grabs the paddles. The first man runs toward Eliot with a knife, but Eliot grabs his arm and pushes him toward Nate)

Nate: Hello.

(Nate hits the man in the chest with the defibrillator paddles and he flies backward, unconscious)

eliot looking Impressed™ at nate for that

- - - - -

Eliot: Play time’s over Nate, it’s only a matter of time before they come after us. The tall one, the way he used a knife, ex-Marine, probably Force Recon.

Hardison: You ID’d a guy off his knife-fighting style?

Eliot: It’s a very distinctive style.

two distinctives in one episode

- - - - -

Hardison: I didn’t sign up for any of this. What I did before, nobody got hurt.

Sophie: I stole paintings for a living.

Parker: I never hurt anybody.

Eliot: I actually hurt people, so…

LMFAO eliot but also- notice that sophie never said that she never hurt people, she just said she stole paintings for a living

- - - - -

Sophie: Nate, if anything had happened to this kid--

Nate: You know you guys called on me. You remember? You begged me to run the crew, agreed to play by my rules. Now walk out if you have a problem with that. Walk out any day if you have a problem with that. It’s simple.

(everyone looks hesitant)

Eliot: We finish this one.

Parker: Just one

PSH like any of y’all believe that

- - - - -

Hardison: How do we hit ‘em?

Sophie: Congressman Jenkins, he’s our in. Looked me straight in the eye and told me he’d never even heard of the shooting.

Parker: So?

Sophie: Looked me in the eye? When men are telling me the truth they’re not looking me in the eye. A man only ever looks a woman in the eye when he’s making the effort to lie to her.

Eliot: ...Well you can’t argue with that.

Hardison: Noted and filed

LMFAO

- - - - -

Nate: All right, Jenkins is DuFort’s pet congressman, let’s see if we can get him to bite. The best way to get two people to reveal a secret, get ‘em to turn on each other.

- - - - -

Sophie: You should look out for the signs congressman. Missed phone calls, no more little favors.

Jenkins: Those are the same signs that your wife is cheating on you.

Sophie: That’s right.

Jenkins: What am I supposed to do when that happens?

Sophie (hands him her card): Play the field

- - - - -

Hardison: Congressman Jenkins is very careful. No direct bribes but he’s renovating his house and so far he’s received over $600,000 worth of work for a little over fifty grand.

(Hardison brings up pictures of Jenkins’ house on the screens)

Eliot: Castleman owns the contracting company, huh?

Hardison: I mean, he’s going through like three shell companies but yeah. And this man loves his house. Just check out his web browsing habits.

(Hardison changes the image to a website for wood panels)

Hardison: Look here, see the man spent three weeks picking out the perfect mahogany wood panels. This site is like wood porn.

Eliot: Is his house finished?

Hardison: Not even close.

Eliot: Can I borrow your phone?

Hardison takes out his phone, dials for Eliot and hands it to him.

Eliot (on phone): Hello? Yes, I’d like to cancel delivery on some mahogany wood paneling. Please.

(Hardison tries to help, Eliot walks away)

Eliot: The Jenkins house. Yeah, you know what, do me a favor man, just go ahead and cancel the whole order. Yes sir.

(Eliot leaves the room as Nate enters with a bowl of popcorn and two beers)

Nate: What’s he doing?

Hardison: Yanking the congressman’s chain

I love chaotic (pre)boyfriends

plus at one point it high hey looked like they were holding hands

and eliot’s SMILE at hardison ,,, you soft man, you never stood a chance

- - - - -

Hardison: A woo--whoa, whoa! A wood-- a wooden box?

Nate: A wooden box.

Hardison: Wood? Well, we can put a man on the moon but all our laws go into a wooden box.

- - - - -

Hardison: I mean, break a law, everybody’s done that, my mama’s done that but steal a law. Oh, she’s gonna be a legend baby.

(on screen, C-SPAN news shows the Senate floor where Parker is walking to “The Hopper”. She waves at the camera and puts the fake bill into box.

Parker: The eagle has landed.

Nate: It’s in!

Hardison: Uhn! Go ahead girl! Sexyness! Unh. Rrrnnn.

Nate: Might want to ease up on that a little bit.

Hardison: Just saying.

Nate: Yeah.

Hardison: Between me and you. Between me and you.

Nate: Never leaves the room.

adorable “the eagle has landed” parker + already-gone-for-her hardison ,,, I love it here

- - - - -

(also, again I am reminded that there is a 250 text block limit so imma have to make a part two and apparently this is my life now)

𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒕𝒔.

under the cut are 21 different plots that i want , all separated by muse. if you want to discuss one you can always message me !!

WHITLEY NAM ( jennie kim fc )

your muse and whitley tend to visit the same place often but she always ends up leaving before getting the opportunity to talk to them. so she decides to leave cute sticky notes for them at the table they frequent &. maybe your muse starts to write back ?? eventually they decide to meet in person and cue the cute and awkward glances and the “ wow you’re pretty ” compliments. we can do first dates , first kisses , them talking about books and dreams. please just give this to me.

she’s a children’s author so if your muse by chance has a little girl / sister , maybe they could like her books so much that she drags them to a book signing where they can meet whitley ?? she’d adore how excited the girl is and they would probably hit it off. meanwhile your muse is sitting in the small purple chairs filled with little children and their dolls so they stand out , catching her attention.

HAN CHANWOO ( park chanyeol fc )

the patient / nurse plot. your muse is a regular -- which is weird to say with hospitals -- who always ends up with chanwoo. at first he’s always upset seeing them in there but he can’t help but to like the attention , but jeez he’d just prefer if they ask for his number instead of fake dying 4 times a week. so he asks for their number and we go from there. ( if anyone out there had a tae with a daughter , please give this back to me , xoxo )

the nurse / doctor route. he’s been with one before but that fell flat so he’s been dodging dating co - workers to save himself the trouble. however , it doesn’t help that he’s slowly starting to fall for the doctor he’s calling his best friend. imagine chanwoo staying behind at work late hours just for them , buying them lunch , blowing up their phone telling them to stay healthy , the sneaky and quick pecks on the lips.

BYUN DONGHYUK ( kim rowoon fc )

SUGAR BABY. listen , hear me out. donghyuk has no idea what to do with all the money he’s gotten so dummy would jokingly sign up on a sugar baby website and see how may requests he can get but --- wait , i know this person. why did they ask me to be their sugar daddy ?? so he decides to meet with them and he’s all shy and timid and immediately admits that he has no clue what to do so the sugar baby shows him how to have a good time with his money. it can turn into an amazing friendship or a really cute relationship but i’m here for both. like imagine them taking trips and the matching couple outfits but they’re just friends ?? iconic.

give me someone who is blatantly using him for his money. like the best friend who knows that donghyuk would be willing to do anything for them so they take advantage and start making his pockets hurt. but he’s blinded by his trust for them to even notice. imagine the confrontation ... the angst. we can build up to this point. shopping trips , the subtle usage of his card, etc.

i want the plot where donghyuk starts to hang out with rich assholes who influence him to start becoming like them. maybe it’s someone who hung out with the rich guys before he came around but they saw that he was different and started liking him ?? can be a childhood friend who warns him that they’re just using him but he doesn’t listen. whatever the case may be , they start to notice him acting different which can lead up to plenty of arguments and the “it’s me or them” but what if he can’t choose ?? will they still stay , or will they go.

PARK YEEUN ( yoo shiah fc )

OLDER WOMEN !!!!!!!!! give me the plot where yeeun is secretly helping her mother’s worst enemy win over the company. give me the late night meetups in hot tubs while they drink champagne and talk about how they’ll drive the woman out once and for all. give me the dirty messages being sent during conferences while they sit across from each other. maybe yeeun’s being used and this can lead to angst ?? or maybe they truly do love each other.

HWANG YEBIN ( son naeun fc )

give me the person who yebin wants to change for. like she’s hellbent on making their relationship work but it seems like god isn’t here for it. every time she really tries , things turn out bad. so she decides to breaks things off before she hurts them because everything she touches goes up in flames and that’s the last thing she wants for them. like i want a genuine relationship with her that is such an eye opener for her.

the best friend who helps yebin do dumb shit. like picture your muse being the lookout while she slashes someone tires or throws a brick through her ex’s car window. they probably drink wine and shit talk tv shows in their silk pajamas while making dating websites to troll single men OUHVWLMWECOWJEL. + bonus : one day they end up sleeping together but because they both know they’re bad at relationships it’s just for fun until your muse goes on a date and suddenly they see yebin standing in the restaurant window with the glare they’ve seen too many times to forget.

THIRD CHAIYAPORN ( win metawin fc )

he’s trying his best and your muse is helping him do that. maybe he wants to get out of the scamming business and do actual work but ew ??? uniforms ??? picture them helping him get jobs only for him to get fired on the first day because he doesn’t want to “ruin his beauty.” your muse is his motivation to do better but he doesn’t know how to be a “normal” person since he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. think of the surprise dinners he’d make after learning how to properly cook. him giving his first three checks from his most stable job to your muse to show appreciation. take the rich boy and make him a working man !!!!!!

HOLLAND CHOI ( kim yugyeom fc )

the best friend who can’t believe he’s alive. you really need to know his backstory for this but to put it shortly , holland was abducted at the age of 8 and his case ended up going cold after the police assumed he died in the fire of the house he was supposedly trapped in. he ended up finally getting free at the age of 20 and returns to his hometown. imagine he goes to his old house to see someone standing right there in front of the memorial the neighborhood put together and all they hear is “ i’m finally home ” from behind them. give me the person who’d help holland adjust to life again. they help fight off bad dreams , they reassure him of things. it’s what he deserves.

the first relationship. at some point he decides to try out this whole relationship thing because he feels really confident in himself at this point in time. like it’d be adorable until they try to hold his hand and he freaks out a bit but apologizes. at some point he’d explain his situation and they can try to help him trust better. he’d feel bad for making them think they’re in the wrong when it comes to certain things but they’re understanding and are willing to take things as slow as holland wants. like i just want the adorable shyness of him getting overdressed for a date ; the quick peck on the cheek because he saw them sad and wanted to cheer them up. i just want a slow burn tbh.

AUSTIN BAE ( kim mingyu fc )

give me the plot where he ends up falling for his first male co - star. like the sex was amazing and all but it was the little kisses and tiny care during it that made him go “ yeah i want this guy. ” but they can be a macho pornstar that doesn’t do dating so he settles for when they meet on set. could give him more tips on sex with other men so it becomes a mentor with benefits type of deal. obviously austin is gonna catch feelings so how this plays out is all up to you.

roommates. PLEASE. if anybody needs dumbass roommates the most , it’s austin. like i want gc messages where they just all fight over who drunk the last bit of orange juice in the fridge and someone gets kicked out the chat for confessing they did it. i want the game nights where they have to ban uno because two of them started strangling each other over a draw 4. + bonus : two of them start dating and austin starts feeling left out so fuck it ! poly

JACKLYN MOON ( choi yoona fc )

give me the protector plot where your muse was hired by her father to keep her safe overseas so they pretend to be a neighbor and befriend. whether she knows about them or not is up to the plot but imagine her not knowing her dad sent someone to keep an eye out on her ?? they could end up becoming good friends , they always end up having dinner at the other’s place , she sends them memes at 4 am because she’s bored. but what if she grows romantic feelings so they have to confess about why they’re really there. + bonus : they end up sleeping together just so your muse can go “ so i work for your dad ... round 2 ? ”

OR OR ORRRRR ... give me the plot where she does know that they work for her dad. she starts trying to dodge them from following her but fails. they plant a tracking device on her and she’s fuming but all they say is “it’s your dad’s orders.” at some point she drags them to the club with her and it’s cute until they get into a fist fight with someone over her who had a weapon on them. she scolds them for nearly getting themselves killed but all they say “ i’d rather it be me than you” and she’s mad but something about how they said made her think it goes beyond their job. + bonus : they actually had feelings for one another before she was shipped off so they took the job to watch her overseas because of their feelings.

KIM EUNDONG ( choi yujin fc )

idk if y’all watch fatal promise on kbs but god if you have , give me the eundong / jihun relationship where an air - headed rich kid who’s trying to gain their father’s attention befriends a girl who is trying to take down their family due to her suspicions that they killed her father. like imagine them growing head over heels for her but she’s strictly keeping it cordial. until they propose to get married so she ends up gaining more power when taking down her enemies.

OH HAJOON ( im jaebeom fc )

the ghost writer / idol relationship , please and thank you. i want the plot where hajoon has written songs for a certain artist / group since their debut and they have a really good relationship but somehow it turns romantic ?? like what if they have to sing a confession song and they feel like hajoon wrote it about them and they ask who’s it about and hajoon’s like “ some idiot who’s sitting next to me ” so now there’s late night recording sessions ending up with making out in the recording booth and subtle hand holding when no one’s looking. it’s all fun and games until a song hajoon writes for them ends up becoming a single when he never allowed it to be. that would be when hajoon leaves the company and becomes a lounge singer but picture your muse in a pr relationship stunt and they go out one night just to see hajoon performing and whew boy ... i want it.

HAN JUNHYEOK ( woo dohwan fc )

i want the hidden relationship between the important person in the company and their assistant. junhyeok is married to a npc but obviously that was for show since they’re both just trying to hide their fucked up ways. meanwhile his assistant starts to catch his eye and it’s really all downhill from there because the man is evil and will somehow fuck up their life but he doesn’t want to do that ... yet. so he keeps throwing hints that he’s interesting but it isn’t until the important gala event that they notice it because he’s got them trapped in a little closet with a hint of both jealousy and lust in his eyes.

SINCLAIR KIM ( lee haechan fc )

i want the best friend who doesn’t mind going on this adventure with sinclair in solving his mom’s mystery. like i want the goofy duo who explores abandon super markets and their headquarters is a raggedy tree house in sinclair’s grandparent’s backyard that’s so close to falling but won’t. i want them hanging out on a playground set at night just talking about anything. give me the bets that end up with one of them getting injured but they still decide to do them , them hanging out in libraries late at night as they do research or just them riding a bike around town and feeling free. + bonus : they both end up getting into a really dangerous situation that has your muse hurt to the point where he realized they’re really all he wants in his life.

The Romance of Murder...The Murder of Romance by Theresa Brown

George Stevens— director of SHANE (‘53), GIANT (‘56), GUNGA DIN (‘39) and WOMAN OF THE YEAR (‘42)—won the first of his two Best Director Academy Awards for A PLACE IN THE SUN (‘51), one of the iconic screen classics that started off the 1950’s. (His second Oscar was for the epic GIANT). A PLACE IN THE SUN is truly textbook filmmaking at its finest. The movie has six Academy Awards to its credit. Stevens takes us by the hand and masterfully lays down bread crumbs for us to follow. His filmmaking here is romantic with scenes flowing seamlessly from one into the next, using a few wipes and many super slow dissolves. Superimpositions linger onto the next scene like ghosts. His slow dissolves make me swoon.

A PLACE IN THE SUN is based on a Theodore Dreiser novel and is a remake of the 1931 film directed by Josef von Sternberg. Stevens’ version stars Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters, all three acquitting themselves very nicely in a morally ambiguous triangle. Frankly, I’m torn. I want to be a good and ethical audience member of society...but I’m swept up by the romance of the film.

Montgomery Clift gets an utterly fantastic intro into the movie. Underneath the film’s credits with great musical fanfare, the movie starts with a young man hitchhiking on a highway. Thumbing for a ride, he backs up into the camera and after George Stevens’ director title card disappears, Monty (if I may be so informal) turns to face the camera. Stevens slowly dollies into a close-up of him. My God! That beautiful face of Clift’s fills up the entire screen. Man or woman, if you’re not a goner by that point, then you need more vitamins.

And that’s just the first five minutes of the movie! Maybe THAT’s the lure...and the danger of this film – the beauty of Montgomery Clift’s face. (Or maybe it’s just my moral code that’s a bit askew.) His character seems like an unassuming young man. He’s in town to get a promised job from his rich uncle. He’s shown to be the type to work for what he wants; willing to start at the bottom. He’s not looking for something on a silver platter. He doesn’t seem manipulative or calculating. When he meets his rich relatives, they barely hide their condescension. At one point, he’s at the front gate of the “big house” during a party of arriving guests. He wants but has no entry into this world.

It’s kind of amazing through Stevens’ direction how unseen Clift’s George Eastman is. At one point, when he is invited to a big party, in his best blue suit, the camera follows him into the mansion. The butler doesn’t acknowledge him. He’s not greeted by his cousins. No one talks to him. He wafts through conversations with nary a person turning their head. The hoi polloi doesn’t see him. He is alone amidst a crowd of people. He goes off to play pool by himself. He’s unseen until...

Look who does see him when he goes to work at the family business; all the gals on the assembly line. They make with the wolf whistles. Working class women see him. Here, Stevens introduces us to another leg in this triangle: Alice Tripp. Let me give a hand to the great Shelley Winters, who didn’t shy away from unflattering roles. Here, in a nowhere job, she lives alone in a rooming house, goes to the movies alone. A cog in the wheel of life. She’s a nice girl...a nice enough girl. She eases into a relationship, of sorts, with George. They drift together, keeping company.

Stevens does something interesting when trouble begins for George. He keeps him in the dark: keeps him hidden. He keeps us from seeing him. When George makes his “Valentino” moves on Alice with the help of a loud radio and her living on the ground floor (easy access?), they’re both hidden in the dark and slightly out of frame when he takes her to bed. We see this motif again when George comes over to Alice’s place (finally) to celebrate his birthday after his dizzying night in the arms of an angel. We don’t see either of their faces when she has to tell him she’s in ‘trouble.’ Interesting set-up the way Stevens blocks the scene – he has Shelley’s back to the camera AND her body obscures Monty from our view. Another time he’s in darkness is when Winters goes for that god-awkward doctor’s visit (“I... cannot...help...you”). George waits in the car’s darkness to find out what the doctor can “do” for her. Why is he not seen?

Alice’s desperation is palpable. She demands he marry her. That’s understandable. So why am I not sympathetic to her? I’ve tried several viewings to suss “why” from my psyche. They would have gone on to have a pleasant and unremarkable life together. He would never know what he’d missed out on. But there is that nail in his coffin...and a most beautiful nail it is.

When George is fully and finally SEEN, it’s by an Angel.

To say Elizabeth Taylor is beautiful is quite an understatement. She plays Angela and she is absolutely a ravishing thing of beauty. We see her when George sees her earlier in the movie. He is not registering on her radar, even though she was on his. And since there’s none so blind as those who cannot see, she has not seen him, though he has seen her several times during the movie. It’s him making that pool shot that finally catches her attention. (“Wow!”) She is quite a vision floating into that billiard room in a stunning Edith Head dress (who won an Academy Award for Costume Design), as though she’s on a white chiffon cloud. It’s love at first sight. Instantaneous, magic.

We can see they’re right for each other. She’s his passport to getting recognized. No no, he’s not using her. His own idea for a cost proposal for his uncle gets him kicked upstairs into an office and out of the factory line. Angela adores him, gives him entree into her world. She takes him by the hand and pulls him out of that lonely room into the party. As they’re embraced in a dance, Angela notes the intrusion of us, the audience in the dark: “Are they watching?” They are dreamy. They are beautiful.

But there IS an intrusion, a very real one, when Alice confronts George with her pregnancy. She stands between him and paradise. Is it murder if you merely wish someone dead? Yes, Monty should do the right thing. Make a clean breast of things. Would he be forgiven? Would he lose everything? The thought of paradise lost is unbearable. I’ve tried to put myself in Alice’s shoes. But it’s heart over head; emotion over logic. Who doesn’t want what they want? Perhaps I struggle because I wonder, how COULD I give up the thing I want most in the world, the thing just within my grasp. Could you?

A PLACE IN THE SUN is a masterpiece of filmmaking, acting and checks all the boxes. But we were set up! I think the movie is a set up for George and for us. Sound is used effectively in this. The loons...the dog’s bark permeating...the radio news of a drowning is itself drowned out by the roar of a speedboat. Franz Waxman’s Academy Award-winning music in this does me in, whether it’s romantic, foreboding or narrating Monty’s inner dilemma. Waxman’s love theme puts me in a trance. William C. Mellor’s cinematography wins him an Academy Award with breathtaking scenes. In the movie, there is a moment in the woods between Monty and a Ranger that stops me as dead in my tracks as it stops George. I can’t even describe HOW it’s lit, but it looks unlike anything else in the movie. I wait for it. William Hornbeck won an Academy Award for Film Editing and the screenplay by Michael Wilson and Harry Brown also won an Oscar.

But I put the onus and blame on George Stevens for breaking my moral code. He set us up for failure by putting the beauty of Monty and Elizabeth in our path. I’m not a bad person...I want to do the right thing by society...one should face consequences for their action. But Monty and Elizabeth together; she holds out all one can dream for and paints a picture of a loving paradise he fears will slip through his fingers.

Now I ask you: is that fair?

Did you watch batwoman? If so, what are your thoughts?

Yes, I just did. Now, I do have to preface this with: I’m a huge lesbian.

And that preface is important, because I watch different properties with different levels of leeway. Say, a show with a female lead already gets away with more things, but if you give me a show with a lesbian lead character, and not just “one of the group of main characters is a lesbian”, but “the titular only main character is a lesbian”, then you’re just... getting all the bonus points and you already have me about 150% more enthusiastic than your usual Straight White Male lead does.

So, that had to be said because I look at this with very rosy-tinted happy gay glasses.

Now, that being said: I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. *vibrates at high frequency*

Ruby Rose is amazing and I love her and when she puts on the Bat-suit that’s like that’s my sexuality. Seriously! The action, the acting, the look, it’s perfect, I love it. *fans self*

And I love her sister! Uh, the stepsister, not the blood-sister. I thought she was just going to be an airheaded rich girl character, or at the very least take A While to develop like Thea Queen did, but nope, she’s a doctor and she runs her own secret underground clinic to help the poor. What a damn badass. Can’t wait for her to be in on the secret and to join the team, which she inevitably will.

Now about that blood-sister. Urgh, I love Alice in Wonderland so to have an Alice themed villain is great. And, sure, I’m aware she’s comic-canon, but she’s not been in any recent major adaptations - those just circle through the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin. Which I all do not like. In fact, I don’t like the majority of Bat’s rogues gallery - and I know I’m the exception there because most people overhype Bat’s villains so so much. But the fact that The Iconic Batman lays in the past in this show means that his most major villains do too, the fact that they fully remove Bruce from the show makes me hopeful I will not have to see anything Joker related at all seriously I am very much over that creep. That seems like something incredibly refreshing to me that I, personally, am very much looking forward. Not to mention that the sibling dynamic is going to make this incredibly interesting!

And oh! Oh that Kate figured it out by the end of the first episode?? Wow! I thought the “Who the fuck is Alice?” plot would at the very least stretch out until say half-time on the first season to keep the ““suspense”“... because that’s kind of what the Arrowverse does. Even way past being reasonable, they still pretend that the good guys can’t figure out the villain’s identity, even when it is painfully obvious at times and I am very happy to know that this won’t be the case here! That Kate is a clever cookie who indeed can put one and one together in record time! That has me highly optimistic about where this show is going to go.

Now, there is one thing that... kind of... bums me out a little and that’s the costume and design choices made on Luke Fox? Because, uh, Luke Fox is a strong, athletic guy who can kick butt. That’s how I first met him in Bad Blood and that’s what Google image search tells me about his comic-counter part too.

So this inane compulsion to make The Tech Guy wear tacky sweaters over button-up shirts (a style that literally only nerds wear on TV??) and of course wear glasses... and also be really squeaky and jumpy... just why. You didn’t have to go this hard to make sure he is The Nerd Guy. You really didn’t, because source material shows you he actually isn’t that type. That’s the weird part for me? Like, this character specifically wasn’t the nerd stereotype, so I don’t quite know why they felt the need to change him into one??

I’m wary of Sophie and Kate’s relationship. I need someone with inside knowledge to tell me that Sophie is bisexual, or pansexual, but just... not a lesbian. Because if this is going to be “out and proud lesbian chases after closeted lesbian who is about to marry her beard” I may have to head-desk a lot. I genuinely hope that where they’re going on that front is a friendship and that Sophie is going to join the team. I really truly want Sophie and Kate to overcome the past and to become friends and not to be a Straight Rom-Com Trope of Sophie choosing Kate just when she’s about to walk down the aisle or some shit because that’s just the most cringey thing possible.

From all I gather, Kate’s endgame is Maggie Sawyer anyway, right? Like, in the context of Kate and romance, there are only two names I have ever really heard and those were Maggie Sawyer and Renee Montoya (who I expect to see on this show sooner or later too).

Really hoping they move Supergirl’s Maggie Sawyer over here, doesn’t have to be the exact character since she’s from an alternate Earth but I mean this Earth’s counterpart would do just fine.

I also hope to see Nyssa al Ghul moved to Batwoman considering Batman’s ties to Ra’s al Ghul and the fact that Nyssa is gonna be homeless once Arrow ends and that another strong badass lesbian character would be amazing in it? After all, last we heard from Nyssa, she was destroying Lazarus pits with Thea and Roy... and you can’t tell me that this quest wouldn’t lead her to Gotham too...

Seriously, I want a lot of gay women on this show. And! Not even just as love interests, but because straight-written gay stories often are “The Gay met The Only Other Gay and they immediately started a relationship with each other because Being Gay is the only thing they need in common to work” and it’s kind of tiresome so I would love for this show, with a lesbian lead character, to actually introduce a variety of wlw characters to actually represent the fact that even we gays do need more than a shared sexuality to work out! That you can have gay friends without dating them and that sometimes, you don’t click, even if you both are gay.

What else aside from the gays, the potential future team (Kate, Luke, Mary, Sophie) and the villain? Ah. Yeah, the parents.

I don’t like Kate’s dad very much yet? Which feels odd because usually in these Arrowverse shows the Cop Dad is always awesome. Granted, he’s not really a cop. But let’s see where he goes.

And stepmom is totally shady? That shot of her reading the newspaper with concerned eyes? Worst case: She was behind the car-accident fifteen years ago. I just... do think that she’s shady somehow.

I’m eager to see what other Bat-elements will make their way into the show, what other characters can translate onto it, considering the “timejump” - the whole Batman having vanished three years ago and being already apparently... older, to say it mildly (he was already working at Wayne Enterprise and a very fully fledged Batman 15 years ago when the accident happened so he’s at the very least in his 50s now).

But! I am absolutely enjoying this show. Even had to put my laptop down to pay full attention to it. I don’t pay full attention to things, I always write fics while watching TV because I like the background noise. I only have/had a small selection of shows that I watch with my full attention on them and I’d be very pleased if Batwoman becomes one of them.

My Favourite Films of July 2018

These are the films, I enjoyed watching this month! They aren’t exclusively films that came out this month but the films I enjoyed watching this month.

(There may be light spoilers but nothing major)

Number 5- ‘The Usual Suspects’ (1995)

This film has one of the best endings in film history! It’s truly amazing! It’s hard to really divulge about the film because the ending is what makes the film so good. The ending is amazing, it’s up there with ‘Fight Club’ and ‘Snatch’. The performance from Kevin Spacey was truly brilliant! He plays a character called, ‘Roger ‘Verbal’ Kint’, a disabled fraudster. Kevin Spacey definitely has the best performance of the film. You need to watch this film! The ending is truly amazing.

Number 4- Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

This film is a lot to take in. I went into this film thinking it was a film about a criminal. It’s really a film about FDA corruption, the stigma against people diagnosed with HIV & AIDS. The film is about a man named ‘Ron Woodruff’, who gets diagnosed with HIV and is given 30 days to live. During these 30 days he searches for different treatments to HIV. This leads him to a makeshift hospital in Mexico. The doctor there tells him about different HIV treatments. This gives our main character an idea to create a business where he sells non-approved FDA drugs to people suffering from HIV and AIDS. During all of this we see him lose his friends due to them thinking he was a homosexual.

There are two stand out performances in this film. One from Matthew McConaughey and the other from Jared Leto. Matthew McConaughey lost a lot of weight for this role, at some points looking like he really was ill. His performance in the movie was outstanding, he played the role of ‘Ron Woodruff’, the main character. Jared Leto’s performance was also amazing. Jared Leto played Ron’s friend and business partner, ‘Rayon’. Both men had a great chemistry with each other. This film was great and I recommend you watch it. This film also has one of the most jaw-dropping scenes ever! Ron enters a room full of butterflies, the scene is jaw-dropping.

Number 3- Airplane! (1980)

This film is just insane. It was weird and hilarious! There were so many scenes that made me giggle. There are so many scenes where weird stuff happens and it just makes you laugh. From watermelons falling from ceilings to hilarious Spanish translations. One of my favorite running jokes is that the main character can’t drink properly so he pours every drink he has in his eye. It’s really ridiculous humor but that’s what makes it so good. It’s a bunch of nonsensical, silly moments stitched together to create an acid trip of a film. I love it!

My favorite character has to be the autopilot, Otto. Yes, the autopilot is a character in this film. He is an inflatable pilot and just makes me laugh, I don’t know what it is about it him but I just crack up whenever I see him. I also liked the pilot, he said one of my favorite lines from the film, “ Joey, have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison? “. He says that to a little kid! This film is hilarious! I can’t wait to watch ‘Airplane 2: The Sequel’.

Number 2- Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance (2014)

Birdman is amazing! Most things about this film are amazing: the soundtrack, the acting, the themes and the cinematography. Birdman is a film about family, relevancy, integrity and mental illness. Michael Keaton plays ‘Riggan’ an actor who used to play an iconic superhero called Birdman. Riggan hates his birdman persona, though everyone else seems to love it. Riggan wants to be seen as an artist but everyone else sees him as Birdman. Riggan tries to put together a Broadway play to revitalize his image. This play is ridden with issues! There are many standout performances, mainly from Edward Norton, Emma Stone, and Michael Keaton. All three of these actors used to be in superhero films, what a strange but happy coincidence. (Edward Norton used to be ‘Bruce Banner’ in ‘The Incredible Hulk’, Emma Stone played ‘Gwen Stacy’ in ‘The Amazing Spider-man’ (2012) and Michael Keaton played Batman in ‘Batman’ (1989).

Edward Norton plays a hard to deal with actor, much like he is in real life. He plays this role exceptionally well, his chemistry with Keaton makes their scenes together a highlight of the film. Speaking of Keaton, he plays a mentally ill actor who is trying to give himself an artistic integrity, whilst juggling a damming family life and a failing Broadway production. His daughter ‘Sam’, played by Emma Stone, is his difficult assistant who couldn’t care less about the production. However, her apathetic attitude attracts her to Edward’s character, creating a weird romance between a douche bag actor and a rebellious young woman.

To cut my rambling short, the characters make this film an experience! I also love the cinematography, it’s impressive! They made the film look like it was done in one continuous shot! Finally, the soundtrack is one of the best!

Honorable Mentions

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

This is another crazy film and boy, do I love my crazy films! The film is about a journalist, played by Ewan McGregor, who decides to become a war journalist in Iraq after going through some huge lifestyle changes. There he discovers a secret military service who are trained in psychic mind powers. Starring George Clooney, we follow a journalist as he uncovers the secrets of this military operation. It’s pretty crazy, I recommend it, just for the story.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

I love a good bit of Body Horror and this film is one of the best! Two Americans get attacked by a werewolf whilst backpacking in Britain! One of the boys dies, whilst the other survives! The survivor has been bitten by the werewolf so we get to see him transform and rampage through London! It also has one of the best contrapuntal sound scenes, where a werewolf is mauling people in a porn theatre, the police arrive and try to kill the wolf. It’s iconic and a must watch for any horror fan.

Number 1-Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

This film really caught me off guard. I expected a generic road trip movie about family but it’s a lot more than that. It’s the ‘Stand By Me’ of family films. The acting by everyone is superb, with stand out performances from Steve Carrel and Paul Dano. We follow the Hoover family, made up of the father, Richard Hoover, played by Greg Kinnear. He is a motivational speaker who is failing to bring in an income to support his family, his unique outlook on life is always creating friction with his family. The grandad, Edwin Hoover, who is a secret heroin addict who craves women and a better life. There’s the son, Dwayne Hoover, played by Paul Dano. He is a dedicated young man who wants to become a jet pilot, however, he has sworn a vow of silence until he succeeds that goal. Then there’s the mother, played by Toni Collette, who wants the best for her family and is dedicated to making everyone happy. There’s the daughter, played by Abigail Breslin. This little girl wants to become a pageant girl who is chosen to be apart of the Little Miss Sunshine pageant show! Finally, there’s the uncle, played by Steve Carrell. The uncle is probably my favorite character, a gay scholar who attempted to end his own life after the boy he loved chose someone else over him. These weird and wonderful characters are thrown into a minivan and are made to travel to California together.

The chemistry between everyone in the film creates some powerful scenes. They just eliminate the feeling of togetherness. Just watching them gives you a warm feeling inside. It makes you empathize with the characters as you recall road trips you have done with your family. It’s just a feel-good film that, makes the audience feel happy. I recommend this film to everyone, as it’s a film everyone can enjoy! This is the best family film ever made!

27.

Robyn is making me pack my own things, I don’t understand why she can’t do this for me “Chris, come here quickly” Robyn shouted from the bathroom, placing my top in my bag “coming” I wonder what she has seen now or has done, yesterday she woke up in the middle of the night and decided she wanted to clean, so she is acting very weird “what’s up?” popping my head from around the door “I’ve gained weight but look” why is she naked, is my wife looking to have sex “look here, not at my boobs” she pointed at her stomach, tilting my head to the side “wow” looking up at Robyn “that looks like a baby bump now, bean is growing. That is crazy” walking into the bathroom “this is so exciting for us Chris, we can actually see the bump now” touching Robyn’ stomach “this is so amazing, I love it. I mean I love you both” it’s amazing how everything changes, there is a whole ass baby growing in here “your boobs look so good too, they are much meatier” Robyn scoffed rolling her eyes at me “meatier? Is that how Chris Brown describes such things” busting out laughing “I get a little stuck for words with you, you’re naked and I really can’t control myself. You leave me speechless, you can’t be naked and yeah” I am actually getting hard “who said I wasn’t wanting you inside of me” she walked away from me, she leaned down picking up the weighing scales, tilting my head to the side “oh god” I breathed out.

“We can’t be late, the doctor appointment” Robyn pleaded before claiming my lips, thrusting her tongue into my mouth. Spreading her legs a little wider Robyn guided my dick to her centre, biting down on my bottom lip the head of my dick teased her opening before sliding inside, I fell forward and held on to the edge of the sink. Her walls clenched round me firmly as I thrust into her at a rapid speed “oh fuck” Robyn hissed and kissed my lips, her legs wrapping around my waist. She held on to my shoulders as I pushed my dick in deeper and deeper, each thrust harder than the last. Robyn’ screams filled the room, her eyes rolling back. Her head fell back and laid against the mirror. Robyn moaned out and I covered her mouth with my lips, my tongue slipping between her lips and wrestling against her tongue. My movements were slow and steady, Robyn broke the kiss and tossed her head to the side her nails dug into my shoulders. My moans filling her ears, her walls still squeezing and gripping me tightly. Her muscles pulsing around my dick “oh Chris” Robyn moaned “fuck me!” Robyn panted out, picking up the speed of my thrusts and pounded into her “oh….. my…. god….. fuck…..Chris….. Chrissss” she yelled into my ear.

Today is a good day, I already feel it. Morning sex and now we are on time for the scan “you can’t stop smiling, look at you” Robyn said, she right I can’t “I am content, you know” I said before I paused to check if I take this turning into the hospital, I hate this place even though it’s private it’s still kind of central to Hollywood “there is a song on my album and I wanted you to be in the video, but now your stomach is making an appearance, so I am not so sure now” this has ruined things “am I going to be naked?” Robyn asked “not exactly, because the song is about you. I don’t want to be in the video with someone else, I made this when we wasn’t together but it’s a nice song so I added it on. You my lady in a glass dress and that is what wanted you to be in” putting my car into park “oh yeah, you played me it. Your voice is so beautiful in the song, what were you thinking? I could be in it” unbuckling my belt “you remember that dress you wore, Swarovski crystals? I saw you in that dress and that is what I based my song off, you looked amazing” Robyn looked at me in awe “I can wear that again, my stylist still has it. It was very iconic, should have told me. I will wear it for you, I am sure we can somehow hide my stomach but I will do the video for you, that is so adorable Chris” I feel kind of stupid now, I was feigning for Robyn then.

Closing the office door behind me “how are we today? How was London? Everything fine?” Sarah asked Robyn, sitting down next to Robyn “it went great, things were hectic but I had my husband with me and he looked after me so much. I am just wanting to not work now, I am so excited. I was counting the days down until I came back here” Sarah cooed out “ten weeks now, your first trimester is so close to ending. This is where we can stop worrying as much, you can start telling family and friends” she said as she looked at her computer “I think Chris and I have preferred hiding it away, but I think Bean, this is what Chris calls it. Bean is making an appearance and it’s crazy how quick it’s forming, the bump has come out” Robyn looked at me smiling wide, I love coming to these appointments “it will, it’s only going to come out more. It’s nice to know Chris is looking after you, make him do all the hard work and you deserve some time away. Every moment being pregnant is a beautiful journey so why not be at home and enjoy it, shall we see what Bean is doing?” Sarah looked at me, Robyn had to tell her this “stop blushing” Robyn touched my cheek.

This is the most exciting part, we getting to see the baby “so you have emptied your bladder, let’s see if we can get more from this. Last time baby was not wanting to be seen, hiding away a lot” the grey screen popped up “cervix is here and would you look at that, bean is here, look at that” Sarah said in excitement, staring in shock “the baby has grown so much” I said in disbelief “very healthy, look here this is the spine” feeling my eyes well up, that is my child in there “can you see this flutter here, that is the heart” Sarah pointed at the screen, Robyn gasped “oh my god, look at our baby Chris. I can’t wait to hold it, this means so much to me” feeling Robyn touch my face “and it’s beautiful to see, every time we have done a scan you both have cried. This child is very loved, I can feel it in the room” I can’t stop looking at the baby “the head is right here” I am in love already “this is so mind blowing, I don’t know it yet but I love it so much. It’s heart is beating already, you know. It’s just crazy” I can’t even form words to say how I feel about this, it’s breathtaking “and you hear this” the thumping of the heartbeat started coming through “that is amazing, that is in my stomach right now. My heart is just so in love” Robyn said, blowing out air “one hundred and seventy one beats per minute which is healthy, very happy with that” Sarah said “oh wow, did you see that? It moved?” I pointed “look it’s moving his legs and arms too” my mouth hung open “are you trying to say that our baby is dancing right now?” Sarah laughed and looked at me “you have a very energetic baby, I think someone is showing off today after those days of hiding” I chuckled “this is our child already, oh my god” this is amazing.

Looking down at the polaroid “still my bean, I love it” I smiled saying “bean is getting big, my poor vagina” Robyn said, looking up at Robyn laughing “so remember when I said May will be the month?” Sarah said “well May it is, you are looking at May 18th give or take. Taking into account if the baby wants to come early or late, you never know it might want to cause a fuss on daddy’s birthday with the way it is moving, I don’t think it will want to stay in. Everything is perfect, second trimester coming up. I do want to see you when you enter that, the next appointment after that will be between eighteen and twenty weeks and I can tell you the sex of the baby, if that is what you both want. Please keep being careful as you are, but that baby is very healthy and I am so happy for you both” grinning wide, I am ready to be a daddy.

Grabbing my phone out from my pocket, seeing the name along the screen and shoved the phone in my pocket. I totally forgot about the chick from London “let’s go” Robyn came out from the bathroom, she grabbed her bag from me “suits you, holding my bag” pushing myself off of the wall “sure it does, I was thinking. I kind of want to have a daughter, for her to be just like you. You know she will have my heart” placing my arm around Robyn “I will get jealous Chris, what about me?” Robyn openly admitted “I mean of course I love you but she will be a mini you and a little bit of me” pressing the button for the elevator “if she gets your goofy face, I will love that” side eyeing Robyn “goofy face? I don’t think our daughter will be happy with this, she will want to be like you” I am so excited to see what we have though, I think I want a daughter more “we need to start buying baby things but you are going to be away from me, now what?” Robyn is not wrong on that “we can start when I come back, there is always online shopping?” Robyn pouted at me “not the same, I want you with me. You can’t be away from me too long” stepping onto the elevator.

Clearing my throat as I put my car engine on “we better get back, so you know now your ugly dog’s are in the home? Who exactly is going to check on them?” sitting back in the driver’s seat “I am taking them to Sinko’ but they come back after, you need to accept them dog’s. They like mommy Rihanna” Robyn pulled a face “so Robyn” I need to tell her about the number, I forgot “what’s up?” she placed her bag down at the side of her legs “you know that chick in London, Yinka? Just hear me out, she has my number because I gave it. She is coming to LA to do an interview and I gave it her, I honestly did it out of anger at that moment. I have no intention to even do the interview, I did it and now I regret it. She text me, I text back. You can check my phone, she called me now and that is when I realised. I called you a liar for lying to me but I never said this to you, I am sorry” if Robyn is angry with me I am so done, looking over at Robyn “funny thing, you was sleeping and she called before and I didn’t say anything. I waited it out, I am happy you said it because I did look through your phone that is why you didn’t see it. I didn’t kick off because I have your password and I felt bad for looking in your phone, it’s not trusting you so I stayed silent about it. You barely did text but thank you for telling me” blowing out air, I feel so relieved “I ain’t got anything to hide, that is why you got my password” Robyn smiled at me “I know, but I felt bad. It’s not something I should be assuming and doing to you but I saw the name and I had to look, if the bitch wants an interview she can interview me” I am so thankful for this reaction, maybe she has learnt from assuming I am cheating.

“Come on girls!” I whistled, watching all four of my dog’s running at me. My bulldog jumped at me but Zeus ran towards Robyn “please move” Sinko chuckled “these are my girls be nice, and look after them” grabbing them by the lead “have a safe flight Mrs Brown” Sinko waved off Robyn “thank you” dragging my dog’s outside “how long you going to be away for anyways? Week?” Sinko asked “uhm a few days, I will be back before my album release party, then I am in New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Miami. We about to get the album out there and party” it’s actually been a while since I have partied “oh shit, like the old days. The wife coming?” passing the dog’s to Sinko to load them up in the car “nah, she can’t homie. She is staying at home, I think on the release day she will be with me. She my baby, she going to be there” Sinko chuckled “my baby, nigga you whipped. Have a safe trip though” he dapped me, I am very whipped.

Zipping up my backpack “you know what I miss” Robyn said, placing my backpack on the free seat on the jet “my dick” sitting next to Robyn “blunt, I miss the weed so much but of course I’m not going to have it” I cooed out “can’t have Bean being high now, you can’t eat bad things either. Everything healthy” Robyn waved me off “I eat what I want, I don’t want healthy. I don’t know why but I am excited about going to VA, I just want you to myself. Some calm, it’s been so long since I have been there though. I text Jen and said I won’t be answering any calls or doing any work while I am there, it’s about us” my baby is all clingy “that don’t stop me from taking pictures though, I am so excited to tell my mom about the baby” Robyn held her phone up, moving out of the picture “Chris, stop it” moving my head back into the picture, Robyn took the picture “I am going to miss you when you go for your little album tour” Robyn pouted saying, watching Robyn type out her caption “you type something so simple? My nigga? Wow, you’re so imaginative” Robyn snorted laughing “well, I really want to put I am having baby Brown but I can’t so I keep it simple” nodding my head “I guess it will do” placing my head on Robyn’ shoulder.

Staring out of the window of the SUV, it feels weird being back in VA. It’s been so long, it still feels like home though when I come back. Still boring as fuck and dead ass, weird ass random niggas on the corners “my country husband back in his home town” chewing on my bottom lip looking over at Robyn, laughing as I saw Robyn videoing me “I am a country nigga at heart, you love this country nigga what you talking about” I said moving my head back to see Robyn’ face “I do” Robyn touched my face, then moved in her seat to kiss my cheek “we about to call our first child Yeehaw Brown” Robyn giggled stopping the recording “I want to ride your face so much, I just want to sit on your face” staring at Robyn all wide eyed “that was so random, you feeling horny? Is this what VA does to you?” we about to have fun here, I know we will.

Stifling out a yawn “cuz” Robb said walking over to me “family, long time” dapping him and then hugged Robb “long time? Bruh, you ain’t been here in years, your home still looking good though” seeing my very first home I bought “I appreciate you looking after it for me” still looks good as new “cousin in law, where is the love?” Robb went to Robyn “you came, my son” my mom came rushing out “I did say I was going to come mom” my mom held me close “you miss me that much, dramatic ass” I chuckled “I just love seeing my son, to spend some time with him and my daughter in law, I never see you anymore” moving back from my mom “Tootie, you good sis and big man Desean” hugging my sister “my brother is glowing, you pregnant?” busting out laughing “you calling me fat Tootie? I done lost weight, ask Robyn” dapping my nephew, it’s good to see my family “your dad is coming to see you, I mean everyone tomorrow. You are so busy for him, he keeps complaining” my mom said “I get to spend time with my new daughter and my daughter, finally” my mom is going to have so much fun.

The Defenders #1

My how the scope of Marvel has changed. Thanks to bold moves by Marvel Netflix, and a massive decline in Avengers Continuity, The Defenders have become all the rage. Myself, included!

Way back in New Avengers volume 2, Bendis wrote a line by Wong, where he said to Luke Cage, “Clearly, you’re the New Defenders.” And I didn’t get it, until now.

I had always complained that New Avengers vol. 2 was like the Avengers B-Team. It was Street-Level and sort of just like, personal battles. People didn’t like it, and I enjoyed what I could, but some of it wasn’t great.

But then the run ended altogether, and we got Hickman’s mish mosh of Sci-Fi nonsense meets Epic Brilliance.

What I’m getting at though was... no one told Luke Cage stories like Bendis did. His adventures did continue through Mighty Avengers vol. 2, which wasn’t the same, but at least it was something.

Since then, Luke & Iron Fist had their own book, which I wasn’t interested in pursuing and Jess got her own solo book back, once the Marvel Netflix Universe started to really pick up speed.

And, that basically brings us to here. But why I mention New Avengers vol. 2 at all is because I learned JUST NOW, that apparently Bendis had this book planned ALL ALONG, since then. He pitched it at the end of his Avengers run, and Marvel execs shot it down.

The Netflix stuff may or may not have been a test, but WHOA Holy SHIT did it pay off. Because now people can’t WAIT for a Defenders show, and we’re all REALLY EXCITED for a Defenders comic.

When back in the day, The Defenders were always considered sort of like, the estranged reject Avengers team. But now they’re like.. the gritty hardcore team that no one knew they needed.

Alright, so as far as this Debut Issue goes, right when we start I feel like I’ve already missed something. Stylistically though, I really enjoy how it involves all 4 of our heroes in their personal lives, and how they’re not exactly working together yet. [They know each other and they’re friends of course. They just have their own things going on, which are going to connect. THAT is the type of team origin that I love to read.]

Also, there’s a cameo of Black Cat in here, which we’ve seen a lot of in Bendis’ Spider-man book. So that’s cool too.

Enough delay though. Let’s get on with the Review.

[SPOILERS]

This issue starts with a dude in a yellow trench coat and a sweet black gangster hat, shaking down a layer or businessman type at a concert. He comes at him with a tiny vile of what’s supposed to be “IGH”, but is instead “Laundry Detergent.”

The guy acts coy about it, but when he doesn’t back off, the suit pulls out a gun. And that’s when trench force-feeds him the stuff, which ultimately kills him. Then he leaves a trail of diamonds behind, which seems to be his thing.

[I had no idea who this was until a little later, but that turned out to be Diamondback - Luke Cage’s enemy.]

Then we cut to LUKE CAGE, who gets his own page complete with a panel of familiar iconic moments of his history. From a classic fight with Doctor Doom, to his time served in New Avengers (v2), to time served in prison, to him holding Baby Danielle in his arms for the first time.

That was nice to see. In the current moment, Luke is just walking the streets of Harlem, when suddenly a large bullet, or missile or what-have-you just barely misses him, and causes the building right by him to blow up.

He runs away with his hoodie on fire and tells the nearby pedestrians to call 9-1-1. He ends up finding the source of that shot. It was an automated turret on legs. 3 diamonds are on the ground nearby, and Luke looks at them annoyed.

Then he gets a phone call, and it’s really nebulous as to what’s going on, but on a 2nd read combined with the title page after it, you find out that his Estranged Wife, Jessica Jones got shot. So now he’s out to visit her at the Hospital.

“WHERE IS SHE?” He hollers when he gets in there.

He finds her asleep and feels terrible.

Then Daredevil appears from a ceiling tile, saying that he protected her with a different alias. [Ah? See what I did there?]

Daredevil gets the nice logo and panel treatment as well, as we move on.

“What are you doing here?”

We find that he was attacked too, as his alter ego, which people don’t know is Nelson Murdock any more for some reason.

“Someone knows your secret! I don’t even know your secret.”

“Someone targeted the four of us at the same time.”

That’s when Danny Rand, the Iron Fist walks up to the room, exhausted.

[And there we have it. Not quite as organic, as I’d hope, but it’s okay.]

They all wonder, who it could’ve been, and that’s when Jess wakes up and says, “It was Diamondback.”

Jessica gets her own, nice logo and panel treatment.

Then we see Luke contemplate the fact that Diamondback has been dead for years.

“Yeah, no one we know ever pulled that trick out of their ass.” Jess comments on people always coming back from the dead.

Then to just move things along, we get a cool moment where Black Cat makes an appearance. I wasn’t expecting this at all. Diamondback is waiting for her at her place. She’s even talking to Hammerhead, before she gets in her window, proving even more that Bendis is definitely tying in his Spider-man continuity to his other books here. That’s just great.

She isn’t afraid of him at all. In fact, she finds it amusing that he “took a wide swing at Luke Cage. his wife and his best pal... You’re going to be in assisted living by breakfast.”

Then we’re treated to 4 huge panels across 2 pages of Jessica, Iron Fist, Daredevil and Luke Cage, independently working towards the same goal.

“WHERE IS DIAMONDBACK?!” They all collectively say. Save for Jess, who does her usual calm detective work.

I’m bypassing more of Black Cat’s conversation with Diamondback for time.

Luke ends up finding him and trying to fight him by himself. And much to our surprise, Luke doesn’t stand a chance.

The rest of our guys are at a bar, trying to find leads. Daredevil says that he thinks they need to work together all the time. “I think people on the street need to know we’re working together.”

It’s definitely agreed upon, and Daredevil says that they need to up their game.

Jess holds up a beer and tells them that she’s sure Luke already has this one in the bag.

That’s when we find that Luke is losing horribly against Diamondback. And even Black Cat feels bad.

“Dumb move, coming at me all by himself.”

-To Be Continued-

And so the first issue ends.

Honestly, it wasn’t as good or amazing as I was hoping it would be. But it’s still nice to see the continued adventures of Luke Cage, Jess, Danny Rand AND Daredevil.

This issue includes a special ‘Pulse’ interview by Ben Urich to Luke Cage. But I didn’t read it...

I dunno. I think this book will get way better. I did like the pacing. And yet, at first I definitely felt like I missed something. I also felt like there was a lot of action for the sake of action, if I’m honest.

But what’s hard is that all of these guys know each other. So... on that front, I think Bendis organically re-introduced these guys very well.

It was them getting together So quickly that may or may not have thrown me off. I don’t really know how I feel about this one still, to be honest.

Outside of the Netflix show, I know next to nothing about Diamondback. Don’t really care about Luke Cage villains. That’s why I didn’t buy the duo comic, “Luke Cage and Iron Fist.”

Buuuuut either way. I’m looking forward to the neeeext oooone.

Until Defenders #2.

A Black Sheep's Diary: Dealing with Comparisons

Hello Again Beautiful People

[caption id="attachment_94" align="alignnone" width="750"] Sister Appreciation Post: She Loves the Filters Just as Much as I Do!!![/caption] I am currently sitting in a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt with my house slippers in my basement contemplating what I want to write about for this week's blog. This Tuesday happens to be my day off from both jobs and as many would say; "I woke up on the wrong side of the bed." So what did I do to get out of this mindset before the "World feels my wrath?" I watched the movie Marshall starring Chadwick Boseman. Some of you may know him from his more recent films Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. After watching this I was just compelled to change my major. Don't worry...I didn't :) This past week, for me personally, has been extremely busy. It was all due to President Trump visiting. He was escorted by all families from across the country to celebrate those graduating from the United States Naval Academy. I had the opportunity this week to meet some awesome people from Italy, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, etc. I've also had some impactful discussions with some regulars from the coffee shop. There was one in particular that really spoke to me. I have found myself over the past few days reflecting on my life so far and thinking hard about the future. I often get feelings when scrolling through social media and seeing all of the people from my high school class graduating college or coming up on their last year as rising seniors. These friends are traveling the world and doing the things I only dream about. When I scroll or click through the different feeds be it Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram, this dark feeling never fades. I find myself thinking, "Here I am working two jobs, attending community college, not a clear idea of my future, and nowhere close to having the ability to experience things my friends are at regular colleges. Why am I so behind in life?"

The Struggle with Comparison

The truth is...these statements, although they are mine, make me angry. I could not believe that my brain had the audacity to think these thoughts. I mean, I had gotten into MTSU. However, due to some difficulties with financial aid, I am now in a place where my future is uncertain leaving me unnerved. I'm not one to not know where I am going to be tomorrow, next week, nor next semester. Yet, here I am stuck...waiting. Have you ever been in a place like this where all you feel is stuck? To me, it was like a room with four white walls and no door. For the past few months, I felt like I needed to be at this big four-year college. It was my way of being seen less as a failure. However, I wasn't where I had imagined myself to be and that caused me to feel like less of a person. I started to compare my life and what I had done to my siblings. I mean, those are the closest and most realistic ones to compare to: am I right? I mean, I could not be more proud of them. My oldest brother is a preacher, leading a church and making differences all throughout the city of Annapolis. My older sister is a phenomenal athlete, amazing icon and household name within the equestrian circle and beyond. My next oldest brother is living a life many dream of right out of college; I mean he went to Peru (also walked miles to bring me home a longboard for Christmas). He is kicking butt in a business, buying his first house, traveling the world, and changing the way people and business operate. Last but not least, my younger brother is attending the school that I could not bring myself to finish (USNA) and doing the things that he loves to do. It was hard not to look at my life and all of the things unfinished compared to the success stories of my own family. I felt like a black sheep for I had not done anything special or taken steps towards my dream or just any dream in my mind. I was stuck in the quicksand of inadequacy and I couldn't find a way out. There were many nights that I would delete my social media to try and eliminate the temptation to compare yet I couldn't stop it. The other day at work a co-worker greeted me by stating, "Hey Kid". I laughed and proceeded to ask why she felt the need to call someone, two and a half years older than her, "kid". She then went on to inform me that she had "done, lived, and gotten more out of life in comparison to me" and therefore had the right to call me kid. This coworker is younger than me with a beautiful baby girl. However, she felt that since she had a daughter, bills and was "more independent" with different problems, she had hit it in life. Now, I want to state first that I don't want to take away from her experiences, whatever they may be, however, how am I suppose to answer. There are so many young adults my age (above or below) who are married, have children, renting their first house, and "starting life". One of my siblings is also an example of that. Yet, at the same age, I find myself living with my parents unsure of the future and frustrated. Why I am so late to the party? It was not until my conversation with a local customer that I really started to see things differently.

Different Does Not Mean Wrong

I found myself, last Wednesday, in a conversation centered around a program called YWAM or Youth With A Mission. I had been upset with the reality that I may not receive the financial aid needed to attend MTSU ( still waiting though with fingers crossed). I didn't think college was really my path if this all didn't go through and I wanted to have a purpose in life. I needed it. If college wasn't going to do it then I needed to look elsewhere. This led to a customer who had a personal connection. I was astonished by some of the similarities that we had throughout the conversation. We both had scholarships to very prestigious schools and decided to leave because it not what we wanted out of life. This customer took to hitchhiking. She headed towards upstate New York to try to find herself. It was during that year that she found Christ and decided to continue her education. Fast-forward a couple years, she settled down, finished her degree, got a Masters, Ph.D., and post-doctorate, became a professor, traveled the world, and now lectures to important leaders within our government today. Wow right? I was thinking the exact same thing. She said a lot of amazing things that day to me, however, the one thing that stuck out the most was this: "Not everyone's path is straight. There are those that fit into a box and there are those that fit outside of a box. Just because your path is different does not mean that you are inadequate. You didn't fit a lifestyle and that's fine. Choices are hard, and thankfully, we have lots of life to live. I believe that you can be a great Christian and think outside of the box. If the early disciples didn't think outside the box we'd all be Jewish or something like that." This woman spoke into my life at the exact moment that I need someone. It's funny, I often find myself praying for signs. Yet, I always imagined something big like those miracles in the Bible. Something similar to the stories of Moses and the burning bush or a stranger that turns into something (say an angel), or a voice inside my head: who knows (Yes, I realize these are far-fetched but hey a girl can wish). Anyways, I just remember constantly praying for something. "Speak", I would say, because I can't hear you. I can say, this past Wednesday, I heard him clearly: when everything felt so wrong, she could not have been more right. I can say, now, that I am aware. My path is different from my siblings for I am not my siblings. I am me and I cannot change it. In fact, I should not want to change it and I don't. It is not easy, for growing up, I had always been compared to others but I have decided the only person I can compare myself to is the person I was yesterday. If I am better than I was the day before I can then conclude that I am doing a pretty damn good job. I won't say that I am perfectly content now because feelings (negative ones especially) for so long do not disappear following a ten-minute conversation. What I can say, however, is that I am okay with the path I am walking. I have goals and plans for the future and I am excited to see it unfold right before my eyes. There is no perfect path for one person. There are many paths and just because one differs from another does not mean that you are behind or less of a person. Sometimes people need detours to build them and train them for the rigors of what is to come in the future :) Therefore, to everyone, I say: live your lives the way you want. Do not compare to others for it doesn't bring happiness just sadness, anger, and loneliness. Love your differences for they make you who you are. You are an awesome person and don't forget it. You are never going to be as good as someone else for they are not you. Only you can be the best you. So stop comparing and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE ! Peace out homies :) Your Oreo and Local Black Sheep, Announcements!!!

I will be posting every Tuesday. Make sure to check in then.

I have also heard some things about snacks for people who are gluten-free. I have recently traveled to target and will post some snack ideas to the home page within the next day or so.

I am also working on some videos to put on here so keep watch for those.

I know up until now I’ve written of my Catholic life, but I have an absolute passion for creating a warm, cosy, welcoming home by doing up old furniture and making soft furnishings and I really wanted to share this with you too. so I thought I’d start by sharing a walkthrough of our new home.

The house itself is in a little French village and used to belong to the doctor. Everywhere I go in the village when I give my address if they seem confused I say this and straight away they know; telling me about my own home’s features!

The house is on a hill and is in the place where a chateau used to be, in fact the stone from the house comes from the old chateau. I thought I’d take you on a tour of just a few of the rooms downstairs as they are now – the good, the bad, and the ugly – I won’t do them all as I wouldn’t want to bore you!

House Front

The back of the house is lovely and was used to advertise the property…..

However the front is not so appealing and looks like this….

I’d always dreamed of having a traditional French front door so I’m not going to lie to you, the front was a disappointment. However I think it would be impractical in cold, rainy Northern France (that description may not appeal to some people, but my Irish roots means my skin and I love it) and also possibly expensive. So I’m going to focus on giving the front door some wow factor in the coming months.

I’d also dreamed of a house with shutters and this can be far more easily replicated.

Hallway

Going into the hallway I love the dado rail, although there isn’t a ceiling medallion to go with it. These glass doors are wonderful as they keep the light and the heat in. I really wish they had bevelled glass, but I can live with it. The colour is a little strong for me too, but easily changed. I love that the doors have panelling and brass door handles. I wouldn’t have chosen this stone floor, but actually the more I see it the more I like it.

As you go in through the glass doors its a little more…..bleugh. Carpeted walls (?), plain doors into the kitchen and laundry room and a polystyrene ceiling. However the wonderful wooden stairs with its brass features makes up for all of that. Over Christmas my family watched “It’s A Wonderful Life” and my husband made a comment about how our finial lifts out of the socket like there one does. I kind of think that he was watching the film and happily imagining a replication of the on and off screen scenarios; with the main character coming home and finding his wife busily doing up their old house and children happily playing.

As you walk up to the upstairs landing you find this wonderful, large window that actually goes up to the top, attic floor which give a beautiful view that meets you whenever you start to go downstairs. The landing has this beautiful stripped, wood floor which I love.

Even further up the turning staircase there are some original dolly light switches, a glass tulip light fitting and some paisley, victorian style wallpaper. The attic is big and spacious and a wonderful armoire was left behind – apparently it was here when the previous owners moved in 35 years ago.

Dining Room

On your left as you go in is the, for now, dining room. The wood panelling is gorgeous and is probably original from the chateau as I know lots of the original features are used in the houses around here. I also love these radiators and double windows. the big box shapes above the windows are part of electronic shutters and I plan covering them.

Living room

The living room has this amazing extension and is the most modern part of the house as a result. These black light fittings where here when we moved (in fact most of the light fittings remained, which is very unusual in France). I found them to be a little too stark for my taste and as I already had the purple lamp shades this seems like a good way to bring them in line with how the rest of the room is coming together.

When I was planning the decor of the house before we bought (you can follow me on Pinterest through the icons) I’d wanted something more French Country, but actually the very light grey shade on the paper in the summer room and slight shimmer in the main room seems to reflect pieces of furniture and decor I already had, so I’m changing my mind.

One thing I won’t be dissuaded from is making the fireplace more traditional as I hate the corner one (It’s not pictured here, I obviously hate it so much I forgot to photograph it). Although I love that the cupboards have internal lights, and they reflect the fabric artwork I have, I don’t like their plain structure, although other people love them. I think a little additional moulding might be in order!

Again, very unusually, many of the curtains have been left in the house and this set were one of such. I think the material is great but as I wanted curtains to go all the way round the bay and these don’t I won’t be keeping them. However they’re going to a good home so I don’t feel guilty – my mum loves them!

The room is slowly coming together. I’d done most of the re-upholstery on the lilac couch prior to moving and I’ve got material for the Queen Anne chair and the other large sofa to cover them too (They’ll be in gold and a striped lavender shade) – I’m so pleased as these go with the grey and off-white really well don’t they?

I’d actually gone of the paintings that have already gone up, but they’ve found a new lease of life here!

I’m hoping to have the higgledy piggledy nature of it sorted by the end of the year. Can’t wait to start some projects!

What do you think?
