The one | CS55

― Pairing: Carlos Sainz x fem!reader (she/her) ― Warnings: mentions of break up and food; typos. ― Summary: Yn is doing well a few months after her break up with Carlos, and so is he. Everyone thinks that this paragraph of their lives is over, but as it happens they may be a chapter to each other, and Yn makes sure everyone knows he was her great love, the one - through her new song. ― A/n: None of the pictures used are mine, they are all from Pinterest and other apps, but the work is, and I do not allow it to be published on a different platform. I would appreciate it if those things could be taken into consideration 💛

Who'd You Rather

tom holland x reader

summary: if there's one thing Ellen is known for, it's exposing secret relationships

a/n: this was written so quickly and not proof-read. also, i picked Ellen because if anyone would do this, it would be her lol

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

July 2019

"So Y/N, are you currently dating anyone?" asks Ellen, taking a sip from her mug.

You shake your head.

"Not currently, no."

Ellen nods.

"Well, please don't worry anymore. We're going to help you find someone in a little game we like to call Who'd You Rather?"

"Oh God," you laugh, twisting slightly in your seat to glare at your manager for agreeing to this who laughed and poked her tongue out at you.

"So all you need to do is look at the photos I show you and pick between these two options, alright?"

"Okay, if you insist." you roll your eyes, facing the large screen.

"I do. So to start off, Timothee Chalamet or Dylan O'Brien?"

"Oh, wow," you laugh. "Starting off strong. Well, I was an absolute hoe for Maze Runner when it came out so I have to pick Dylan. Plus, I know Timothee better so it would be kinda awkward if I chose him."

The picture of Timothee fades away and is replaced by a new photo.

"Dylan O'Brien or Harry Styles?"

"Harry fucking Styles." you say without hesitation and the audience cheers. Ellen nods.

"Harry Styles or Florence Pugh?"

You bury your head in your hands.

"How could you ask me that, Ellen? That's like asking someone to pick between cookie dough and mint chip ice cream! Impossible."

Ellen mimes tapping at her watch and tuts at you.

"Time's ticking, Y/N. Make your choice."

You sigh.

"It's absolutely Florence then. Sorry, Harry."

"Florence pugh or Chris Evans?" Ellen asks.

"Flo."

Ellen's eyes gleam as she quickly reads the next pair of names, rubbing her hands together in a comically evil fashion.

"Florence Pugh or Tom Holland?"

You slide down on your chair, laughing and covering your face with your hands.

"Ellen!" you shriek. "I've just come off my second movie co-starring with Tom and he's literally my best friend. You can't ask me this!"

Ellen grins.

"Florence Pugh or Tom Holland?" she repeats.

You pout at the camera.

"Flo, I am so sorry. Please still be my friend. I pick Tom."

The crowd roars in approval and you wave a hand at them, laughing.

"Shhhh, guys."

"Tom Holland or Jake Gyllenhaal?" asks Ellen.

"Tom Holland."

"Tom Holland or Hailee Steinfeld?"

"Tom Holland."

"Tom Holland or Niall Horan?"

You hesitate, biting your lip as Tom's frozen grin stares down at you from the photo.

"I…fuck. Tom?" you say, almost as a question.

"So it's Tom?" Ellen grins. "Speak now or forever hold your peace."

You nod, sitting up straight and crossing your legs.

"It's Tom."

Ellen stares straight into the camera as an assistant signals an upcoming ad break. She rests one hand on your shoulder as she addresses the audience.

"Tom Holland, you'd better act quickly. Y/N is currently sitting by her phone, waiting for your call. Don't mess this up."

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

April 2021

You relax into the plush cushion of the chair on Ellen's set once again. You are paying attention, sort of. You nod and laugh in all the right places, offering stories and jokes when needed but your mind is miles away. Ellen can pick up on this and she shifts in her seat.

"Y/N." she says, holding eye contact. "Can I have your phone please?"

Your eyes widen as you reach into the pocket of your oversized blazer, following her request and placing the unlocked device in Ellen's waiting hand.

"I wonder," she says out loud, "who we can get to answer your call?"

"Oh God," you laugh, covering your face. "If no one picks up I'll be so embarrassed."

"The Watermelon Man?" Ellen questions, reading off of the screen. "Shall we call the Watermelon Man, whoever that is?"

You cover your face, laughing.

"Jesus. If Harry Styles doesn't pick up I think I'll throw myself off a cliff."

The phone rings three times before a voice rings out from a noisy background.

"Y/N! How are you?" laughs Harry. "This is a surprise, I have to admit."

"Harry!" you call out, before he can say anything else. "Ellen's hijacked my phone and started ringing people, I'm so sorry."

"Oh, she has?" Harry asks mischievously. "I'll make sure not to mention anything about our upcoming collaboration then…" he trails off and you can practically hear him winking through the phone as he hangs up.

"That absolute fucker," you laugh, rolling your eyes at his spoiler as Ellen is already scrolling through your contacts list again.

"Oh!" she exclaims, eyes bright. "Y/N, I thought you told us you weren't dating anyone? May I ask who 'My Darling 💖' is?"

You freeze on the spot, mouth drying out as you blink at Ellen, desperately trying to jump start your brain into snatching the phone back. You glance over at your manager who is sat stock still, just as shocked as you are.

The phone rings five times and you breathe a sigh of relief. It's 3AM in London right now, he's not going to pick up.

Just as you've collected your heart off of the floor and smoothed your hair down, ready to make a self deprecating joke about this mystery person not picking up, there's a pause and the a collective gasp from the audience as the phone connects.

"Hello my love, is everything alright?" asks Tom in his groggy, raspy morning voice.

Ellen's jaw hits the floor so quickly you're shocked it doesn't fall off entirely.

tysm for reading! reblogs and comments are always appreciated <3

Loving you is Red - A Jeon Jungkook Fic Teaser

Fic link: here

Synopsis:

Jeon Jungkook's name was unheard on the Formula 1 paddock till he got a chance to drive a Mercedes car as a reserve driver. His 2020 starts looking brighter as he signs with Ferrari and meets you, his team mates little sister. So many cliched tropes, strangers to friends to lovers, slow burn, dating brother's best friend, and most importantly Jeon Jungkook looks smoking hot in a Ferrari!

Author's Note:

So, this has been collecting dust in my drafts since I watched Drive to Survive last year, watched the new season and got motivated to write this fic. Please comment under if you want to be added to the reading list for this fic! ❤

Also, if you have any though or ideas, please feel free to comment or message me and for the love of Jungkook, don't be a ghost reader!

Race 16 Singapore Grand Prix 2019

Race weekend is always exciting, especially when it is a night race. The city felt alive as the crowd buzzed around, ready for the race to start. Walking beside your father, you stop periodically as he stops and talks to a million people through the paddock.

The Ferrari garage is buzzing with tension as your father goes up and pulls your brother in a tight hug, “Lets win, just like last year!” your father is gleaming with pride thinking of your brother’s glorious win in Singapore last night.

“How did the doctors go?” Philip asks as you kiss his cheek, after a shattered ankle, back injury and multiple head injuries a year ago, doctor visits have been regular for you.

“There’s progress, I might go back on ice again” you reassure him and he gives you a big, pleased smile.

Phillip soon gets back in the car as everyone gets ready to race, he looks at home in the car.

“The two-time world championship winner Phillip Lee is starting at pole position followed by the other Ferrari and Mercedes” the commentator's voice booms in your headphones as you look at the cars line up.

“It’s an important race for Ferrari to maximize points. The Mercedes team feels weak today as their lead driver has to sit out of the races due to sickness. The replacement is Mercedes reserve driver Jeon Jungkook, starting at P9” the camera pans to a new face for you, you’ve heard Jungkook’s name a few times, after he almost won the Formula 2 championship last year. 

Race 18 Mexican Grand Prix 2019

Midway through this year, your schedule has been emptier than expected. Right now, you were supposed to be at the Olympic camp as a part of the figure skating team, instead you were sunbathing in Mexico.

Putting on your cover up, you are heading back to your hotel room. You run into someone very unexpected in the elevator.

“Hello” Jungkook is standing against the wall with his manager on the other side. You mumble a meek hello as you stand in front of them. The two of them are talking about last week's race till the elevator reaches a stop and his manager steps out.

“I have some stuff to work out with the lawyers but I’ll come and get you for the signing” the manager says and Jungkook nods.

There’s silence as the two of you walk back to your rooms, awkwardly in the same direction.

“So, you used to be in the British figure skating team” Jungkook finally breaks the silence and you nod, looking at him a little surprised.

“How’d you know?” “I looked you up on Instagram” he answers with a teasing tone, like, duh he looked you up on Instagram.

“How are your injuries?” he asks, surprising you again. Sure, you make a long post to announce your injuries, but you didn’t expect him to bring it up.

“They’re there” you answer and he gives you a sympathetic smile as he opens the door to his room.

“Congratulations on signing with Ferrari” you shout as you walk away from him, he turns around, his big bambi eyes looking around with terror.

“Shhhh!!!! how’d you know?” he says very seriously only, making you giggle as you open your room diagonal to him.

“I have my ways” you say with a small smile and he looks away shyly.

Today Was A Fairytale | Austin x fem!reader

You decide to surprise your boyfriend in Australia on Valentine’s Day! ❤️ 

a/n: Happy (belated, oops) Valentine’s Day! This is a week late, I know, and I’m so sorry y’all! But thank you guys so, so much for your patience 🫶 I do have plenty more WIPs that I’m working on, and I hope to have those out sooner rather than later for y'all. And my requests are open if y'all want to send anything in! ☺️ For this fic, covid doesn’t exist for Plot purposes lmao

Word count: 2k (technically 1,999 but shhhh)

Warnings: some allusion to sex towards the end (might qualify as fade-to-black smut??), I think that’s it? As always, please let me know if I missed anything!

Please like/rb if you enjoyed! 🤍

Masterlist | add yourself to my taglist!

As you stand on the escalator, hands firmly gripping your carry-on to keep yourself from shaking with excitement, you scan the area near baggage claim as it appears bit by bit, keeping your eyes peeled for a sign with your name on it.

Your sweeping gaze finally snags on your name, the flimsy paper in the hands of an older, very fashionable woman, with a bright smile and cheerful eyes peering through cat-eye glasses. Your smile widens, and you wave to get her attention as you step off the escalator onto the polished concrete floor. You still can’t quite believe that Catherine Martin herself was the one meeting you here.

You greet her, a little starstruck, before she sweeps you into a hug.

“Darling! It’s so nice to finally meet you!” She smiles, “You know Austin honestly hasn’t stopped talking about you since we started filming,” she teases as you made your way over to get the rest of your things.

You laugh shyly, “Well, that’s very sweet to hear, and I apologize on his behalf.” Laughter fading, you continue in a more sincere tone, “And thank you so much for letting me come on set for a couple days, I can only imagine how complicated it must be to organize that.”

Catherine waves the compliment away, helping you get your suitcase off the carousel with ease.

“It’s nothing, sweetheart! It’s very sweet that you want to surprise him, and I’m so glad we could help.”

Catherine explains the plan in the Uber on the way to your hotel: take a few days to recover from the jet lag from the 19-hour flight, and on Friday — Valentine’s Day — you’d be taken to set to surprise your boyfriend. 

After Catherine makes sure you’re safely in your room and assures you that you can call her if you needed anything — “absolutely anything, darling!” — before tomorrow, you finally allow a grin to overtake your face as you collapse onto the bed. As Valentine’s Day gifts go, you were fairly certain this wasn’t a bad choice.

You and Austin had been dating for almost a year, since March of 2019. Originally just your childhood friend, a friendship born of proximity when your family moved next door to his, your feelings for each other had blossomed into what was honestly the healthiest relationship you had ever been in. You had been with him when he was auditioning, when he was cast as Elvis, you had watched as he practically lived and breathed Elvis in the months leading up to the moment he left for principal photography in Australia. He was crushed that your first Valentine’s Day together was doomed to be long-distance, and as he kept saying how much he wished the two of you could celebrate together, the idea dawned on you.

And now here you were in Australia, on the opposite side of the world from your home in Anaheim, getting ready to surprise your boyfriend who was currently playing one of the most famous men in history.

-

You spend most of the first couple days of your trip sleeping, your body insisting on ten-hour naps to recover from the flight through seven time zones. You’re able to pencil in some sightseeing, too, though by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around you’re even more anxious to see Austin; you’re the closest you’ve been to seeing him in a month but the distance between your hotel and his set seems impossibly far.

Catherine is your escort once again, and on the way to set she explains the plan to you, detailing the scenes they’ll be filming and where you could fit in, and making it incredibly clear that pretty much everything you’re about to see is strictly for your eyes only; they couldn’t risk a leak only a month into filming.

Admittedly, you’re a little starstruck being on a movie set, and it’s all a bit of a blur as Catherine rushes you over to hair & makeup to get you ready for the scene. The crew slips you into one of their many spare dresses, and they get to work making your hair and makeup era-appropriate. As one of the hair stylists — a kind woman whose name you learned was Gail — is in the process of getting your hair into pincurls, the door to the hair and makeup trailer sweeps open. Every eye in the room swings towards the motion as Baz steps inside.

As in, Baz Luhrmann.

Legendary, acclaimed director.

In the hair and makeup trailer.

And he walks right over and gives you a hug (as best he could with you in the makeup chair trying to stay as still as possible, at least).

“Y/N! Happy Valentine’s Day, we’re so glad you’re here.”

“Thank you so much for helping organize this, Baz!” You smiled. “I really hope I’m not disrupting the schedule or anything too much.” You had gotten to meet Baz a handful of times as Austin was prepping for the role, and he was one of the sweetest people you knew. 

“Oh, it was nothing.” He waves away the compliment, “I love a good surprise, and I’m glad I’ll get to see you two crazy kids back together. I just wanted to say hello and make sure you were doing okay. You guys take care of her, alright?” He directs the last part to the crew, and bids you farewell with a “See you on set!”

Soon enough, your hair and makeup are the best they’ve ever been, and you’re almost afraid to move for fear of ruining the gorgeous blue gingham dress they’ve given you as you’re escorted to set by an assistant.

You take your seat in the front row, trying your hardest to hide your excitement as you catch a glimpse of Austin talking with Baz just offstage.Your breath catchesin your throat as you take him in. After not seeing him for a month, seeing him in person is in itself a bit of a shock, but underneath the slightly baggy pink suit and effortlessly disheveled hair, you see the sharp focus in his eyes that's something entirely Austin. Time is a blur as the rest of the scene is set up, and the last thing you hear before Baz calls “action!” is his suggestion to Austin to find someone in the audience to focus on. 

You holdyour breath as he, Xavier, and Adam walk onto the stage, the smudged eyeliner bringing out the blue of his eyes as he scans the crowd. You fight to keep the smile from your face in anticipation as his gaze sweeps past you, then snaps back as he does a double take. The Elvis facade fades, the anxious fidgeting and nervous manner he’s put on entirely forgotten as he freezes, his eyes locked on yours.

“Y/N?”

You nod, unable to hide your grin any longer as you give him a playful wave, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Aus.”

In a flash, the guitar that had been looped around his shoulders is set carefully on the stage and he jumps down to the floor to greet you, the cast and crew cheering him on.

You let out a breathless laugh as you’re swept up in his arms and spun around in a circle, his grip strong and secure and safe as always. As your feet finally hit the ground, Austin’s gaze sweeps over you, taking in your light blue gingham dress and 50s pin curls, before his eyes meet yours again and you’re finally, finally pulled in for a kiss. 

It’s a sign of how much you missed each other that by the time you pull away your carefully-applied, no doubt expensive, movie-star-quality lipstick is smudged beyond repair, and Austin’s artfully disheveled hair is a mess. Some part of you cringes slightly at the thought of messing up the hair and makeup crew’s hard work, but a much larger, much louder part of you — the part that had been missing him since the second he’d left — couldn’t care less.

“I— Sweetheart,” Austin laughs with a tinge of disbelief, still holding you tight as though you might slip away at any second, “What are you doing here?”

“I missed you.” You say simply, grinning. “And I knew how upset you were that we’d be missing our first Valentine’s together, so I thought I’d surprise you.”

“You flew all the way to Australia to surprise me?” He asks, as if to make sure he was hearing you right.

You nod, cheerfully humming an affirmative.

He laughs, shaking his head in disbelief. 

“You’re ridiculous,” is all he says before pulling you in for another warm hug, lips brushing your ear as he whispers, “I love you.”

“I love you, too” you whisper back, tucking your face into the crook of his neck to hide your growing smile, toes curling at the familiar smell of his cologne — something warm and woody that you had gotten him for Christmas last year.

After what seems like not enough time at all, your very professional boyfriend regretfully pulls away — after all, he is here for a job. Baz is kind enough to let you stay and watch them film several scenes, but after seeing how distracted Austin is (he’s trying to stay professional, he really is, but you’re here and he’s missed you so much) he cuts the day short, offering everyone a chance to celebrate their Valentine’s Day properly. 

You’re glad you brought one of your nicer dresses with you, because that night Austin takes you out on the first non-Skype date you’ve had in a while. The two of you end up at a fairly nice restaurant, talking for hours as if you haven’t been apart at all. In lieu of the typical red roses, he gives you a paper rose to add to your collection back home; a tradition that began with your very first date, and one that you hope continues for as long as possible.

You spend a romantic evening together, followed by an even more romantic night, and the contentment you feel waking up the next morning in Austin’s arms is incomparable to anything else on earth. You don’t open your eyes at first, content with the feeling of your head on his chest, legs tangled together, his arms pulling you in closer, but you can’t help but smile up at him as you feel his eyes on you, and the softness in his gaze as you meet his eyes nearly takes your breath away.

Your hand, from its resting place on Austin’s chest, works its way up his neck to cup his cheek, almost as if you need to confirm that he’s really there, solid and warm next to you. You bite your lip to hide a smirk as your eyes catch on the marks scattered across his skin — proof of your, er, very enthusiastic reunion the previous night. He leans into your touch as you whisper a soft “good morning” to him, and he returns the greeting, mumbling it against your lips as you’re pulled in for a kiss.

He glances quickly at the alarm clock on the nightstand, making a note of the time: barely 9am. “What time is your flight, again?”

You mentally file through your sleep-scattered brain for your flight information. “My flight leaves at 1, but I wanna try to be at the airport around 11, maybe 11:30ish?”

He nods, seemingly incorporating that information into whatever idea he has brewing in his head. “I don’t have to be on set until noon,” he says, taking on a suggestive tone as he moves to hover over you, “Any ideas on how we could spend all this time?”

Grinning, you pull him down into a bruising kiss, making a mental note to send flowers to the hair and makeup crew as an apology for the marks they’re going to have to cover on him after this morning.

All in all, not a bad Valentine’s Day.

[manykinsmen]

On the talk of Toto, drivers who lost their seat and his William golden boys.

Because out of the five Mercedes driver, 3 of them were originally Williams boys; Nico, Valtteri and George. As soon as Valtteri gets promoted to full time driver, Toto moves up to Mercedes.

Nico retires, Toto: I MUST have Valtteri, give Williams a discount on the engine.

What I find hilarious is how many times he’s crossed path with Nico Hulkenberg. Nico lost his Williams reserve driver role to Valtteri, while Toto was on the board.

Then Nico looses his seat at Renault, because Toto hustled Esteban there.

Honorary mention that “everyone” said Esteban would get Valtteri’s seat in 2019, but didn’t

Hulkenberg is a skilled driver, so much experience, used to drive for Williams, has been a reserve driver, lost his seat, been the Covid super sub. Technically he ticks all the boxes for Toto. But every time Toto goes Naaah, no thank you. He has a type, and it is NOT Nico Hulkenberg.

I will admit that his lack of podiums might factor in, but shhhh. It’s funny so facts don’t matter

Honestly, kinda hilarious consequences aside, Nico Hulkenberg has suffered more than most from bad luck, bad timing and being on the wrong end of seat politics. And whilst he might not have had it in a single big style incident like Kevin Magnussen, it’s just the constant stream of it that’s fucked him over.

Further to that, Valtteri has mentioned in the interview where he talked about his eating/exercise disorder that Hulk specifically lost out on a seat at Williams (probably to replace Valtteri) because he was too big. David Coulthard, also notably tall, has talked about his experience of bulimia too. The driver weight regulations of the were no joke and are probably still a factor even now, though less so and downplayed.

Hulk is a big guy - and though I believe that Esteban and possibly Alex are taller than him now, Esteban certainly carries weight very differently to him. Most of the tall drivers since the 1990s have been very skinny to compensate for their height. If we look at the standard build of the grid, the “ideal” body shape for an F1 driver seems to be a kind of muscular jockey build. That’s short, lithe, especially in the hips and waist, with narrower shoulders than most men, and most of all lightweight. They fucking weigh the drivers after the race, and whilst I understand that it’s to calculate fuel allowance, that’s got to be demoralising, potentially nerve-wracking for drivers worried about their weight, and contributes to normalising unacceptable attitudes towards drivers’ bodies by teams.

The drivers that deviate from this build are routinely criticised and made a mockery of for their shapes. Like I know we like to make jokes about “slutty little waists” but think about what we do when we isolate body parts on particular drivers to turn into memes. I’m talking about Daniel’s “child bearing hips” (for which he was berated at McLaren), Valtteri being thick in the waist, Red Bull leaving so little room for Mark Webber’s shoulders that he often needed help getting out of the car. Like if you take twenty of the most talented racers in the world and create vehicles with such little allowance for their bodies that they have to run themselves in starvation mode to succeed, how can we criticise them for driving sub-optimally? And part of that is that they treat drivers who haven’t won a world championship like replaceable parts. If they don’t deliver? No problem, they can change them out?

It would be interesting to see what would happen in a world where there were (barring exceptional circumstances) mandatory driver retention periods. Many drivers never have the benefit of the car being tailored to them and are expected to alter themselves in order to make it drivable, which is really putting the cart before the horse.

Hi!! Hope this isn't too much work for you rn, and no pressure answering this! But your constant endorsement plus knowing so many of these DMBJ men from various other dramas has convinced me to give it a go. If I wanna watch all the seasons + movies, which order do you suggest I go in? (came across a whole bunch of different opinions on this, so decided to come to the resident DMBJ expert on my dash <3)

omg welcome to dmbj territory!! hope you end up staying hehe, these stories are a good time :P

alrighty, watching order: first things first, dmbj is not broken up into different seasons, but rather a timeline of individual dramas + side movies adapting different parts of the book series. the casts shift between dramas (some actors do reprise roles), and they were not adapted in chronological book order nor necessarily in continuity with one another. the tone varies wildly between shows/films as a result, and a lot of things in different dramas will not line up between them. timeline whomst. don't think about it too hard just go with it shhhh

for starting points, i've seen people who've started at wildly differing places along the dmbj timeline and made the most of it. others are correct, and there's no 'right' starting point. however, you asked for my opinion, and so with the proviso that i've only actually finished 4/7 of the dramas released so far and can only speak from those experiences, imo the best starting point would be Ultimate Note (2020), or The Lost Tomb Reboot/Reunion: The Sound of the Providence (2020).

Ultimate Note covers most of the latter half of the original book series, and feels made to offer an entry point for people who didn't break into watching the adaptations releasing since 2015. it's the first dmbj show i watched, coming off of heroes because it had a younger cast including zeng shunxi and liu yuning, and i'd say it was a really good experience. the production is snappy, the pacing is decent, and the plot keeps you well engaged for its 37 episodes. for what it's worth, it also feels like the show that tried its hardest to be a bl hehe. one thing to warn is that the ending of the show does not wrap up well, as it's supposed to tie into the next installment in the dmbj chronology (that has not been adapted yet and may not ever), but aside from that it's a satisfying story.

The Lost Tomb Reboot is set ten years after the end of the main series, and adapts one of the sequel novels. like Ultimate Note, it feels like a natural start point, and i'm pretty sure a lot of people went through Reboot as their first dmbj show. it's an older-led cast including zhu yilong, chen minghao, and chen chuhe, with characters who have long settled into their relationships with one another. for me that's where this show shines, as the character dynamics are great and there's a full ensemble cast that gets their own arcs. the production values on it are also decent and the plot twists are good. i will say that for me this show struggled with very uneven pacing, and Reboot is a longer commitment than other shows with two seasons at ~30 episodes each. but overall it was still worth it!

after one of those shows, you have a general grasp of the worldbuilding, and so honestly you can pretty much go anywhere depending on what vibe or maybe actors you're looking for. my personal trajectory was Ultimate Note → Sha Hai/Tomb of the Sea (2018) → The Lost Tomb Reboot, which are all in chronological order, and then i doubled back and watched The Lost Tomb 2 (2019) which is set before Ultimate Note. that's all been a lot of fun for me, but there's a lot of choices.

something that was really helpful for me in deciding what to watch was foxofninetales' guide you can find here, which gives a more in-depth overview of each drama adaptation as starting points and the pros and cons of each. (while we're at it, this character guide may also be useful for tracking who's who across adaptations.) the side movies are not essential to understanding the main dmbj narrative, but are nice for filling in parts of different characters' backstories and events in between/after various shows :)

okay, uh, i'll stop talking now. i hope this was at least somewhat helpful or gave you a place to start looking, and i'm looking forward to seeing your journey through dmbj 👀

#not quite connected to the main post but sha hai is my baby. it's the part of the dmbj universe i find the crunchiest and i love it #also don't listen to anyone who says tlt2 isn't worth watching #there's so much good character stuff and it's got cheng yi!!! i don't recommend it for starting personally but it's Good #dmbj #ashton answers #nutcasewithaknife

Possible Names for the Grand Ducal Baby (2022 Edition)

Since the Hereditary Grand Ducal couple of Luxembourg have announced that they’re expecting their second child (!!!!!), I thought I would once again share my thoughts and predictions on what names they may choose for their child. 

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I got four out of six right last time, so...

This is, obviously, pure conjecture and also under a cut because I talk too much it's very long.

When I did the previous version of this post before Charles was born, I anticipated four names, as that seems to be the most common choice for most royal families, including the Grand Ducal Family. Then, of course, little Charles ended up with six names, and threw a wrench in all my speculations.

There's actually a pretty wide range of name lengths in the Grand Ducal family, from little Prince Liam, with only three, to Princess Marie-Astrid, the Grand Duke’s older sister, with a whopping eleven.

For the second child of the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess, I don’t necessarily expect another six - that’s a lot, especially for a younger child who is not the heir. I imagine they might choose to give their child four or five names, instead.

Like Prince Charles, this child will be known as HRH Prince(ss) ______ of Luxembourg, Prince(ss) of Nassau, Prince(ss) de Bourbon de Parme.

Lastly, for reference: the Hereditary Grand Duke’s full name is Guillaume Jean Joseph Marie and the Hereditary Grand Duchess’s full name is Stephanie Marie Claudine Christine. Their first child is Charles Jean Philippe Joseph Marie Guillaume.

To note: like before, I have tried to refer to everyone by their title instead of just their name. This family loves repeating names, and that can get confusing.

Boys

I gave myself a little pat on the back when Prince Charles’s names were announced, because I had guessed four of the six (Marie and Guillaume were kind of freebies but shhhh). But now, I’m not really sure how to predict names for a second son because I don’t know how many of those names the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess will choose to repeat for their second child.

That said, many of my name predictions are the same as in the first post three years ago. I will make predictions about the first name, but I have to acknowledge that they surprised me a little with the name Charles, so we’ll have to see.

Félix is the name of Prince Félix of Bourbon-Parma (the Grand Duke's grandfather) and Prince Félix of Luxembourg (the Hereditary Grand Duke's younger brother); I wouldn’t consider it super likely as a first name, but it’s certainly possible. This would be a strong contender for a middle name, as it is for both the Grand Duke and his brother, Prince Jean.

Guillaume is one of the most traditional Grand Ducal Family names - in addition to the Hereditary Grand Duke and his uncle Prince Guillaume (the Grand Duke’s youngest brother), there have been four previous Grand Dukes with this name (or a variant). All the children of the Grand Duke as well as Prince Charles have this or a variant as a middle name. I would be pretty surprised if this is not chosen as a middle name again; it could also be chosen as the first name, although I think that’s less likely.

Henri would (obviously) honor the Grand Duke, and Prince Sébastien (the Hereditary Grand Duke’s youngest brother and godson) has Henri has a middle name, as does Prince Liam. I would consider this one of the strongest possibilities, both as a first name or as a middle name - especially since this is not one of Prince Charles’s names.

Jean is would be a clear tribute to the former Grand Duke, who passed away in 2019. It is also a middle name of the Hereditary Grand Duke, and the name of the both the Grand Duke’s younger brother and one of his nephews (the youngest son of Prince Guillaume). This is one of Prince Charles’s middle names and I would consider it a strong possibility for this child as well, either as a first or middle name.

Marie is even more common a name in the family than Guillaume; since Grand Duchess Charlotte, every child of a Grand Duke or Grand Duchess has had Marie as a first or middle name, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess and all her siblings also have it (or a variant). This is a middle name of Prince Charles, and I would honestly be shocked if it isn’t one of this child’s names as well.

Paul was one of the first names of the Hereditary Grand Duchess’s late grandfather, Count Paul-Charles de Lannoy, and is also a first name Prince Paul-Louis, of the oldest son of Prince Guillaume. This is a good possibility for either a first name or a middle name.

Philippe was the name of the Hereditary Grand Duchess’s father, Count Philippe de Lannoy, who passed away in 2019. Prince Charles has this name as a middle name. I would consider this a strong possibility for the first name, or possibly for a middle name again. It is, of course, also the name of the current King of the Belgians (the Grand Duke’s first cousin). 

Girls

I find girls’ names both easier and harder to predict - harder because there are comparatively fewer in the main line of the Grand Ducal Family, but easier because there are fewer names “in use” by close family members. Most of my predictions for a daughter have stayed the same as last time, with a few additions.

Alix would honor the Hereditary Grand Duchess’s mother, Countess Alix de Lannoy, who passed away in 2012, only two months before her daughter’s wedding. I would consider this a pretty good possibility for either the first or middle name. It is also the name of one of the Grand Duke’s aunts, Princess Alix of Ligne.

Charlotte is the name of a former Grand Duchess (the Grand Duke’s grandmother) and the only daughter of Prince Guillaume (the Grand Duke’s brother), as well as the second name of the Grand Duke’s mother, Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte. I don’t think this is a possibility for the first name (too similar to Charles), but I would be a little surprised if it isn’t a middle name. 

Christine is one of the Hereditary Grand Duchess’s middle names, as well as one of the first names of Archduchess Marie-Christine, the oldest daughter of Princess Marie-Astrid (the Grand Duke’s older sister). This is a possibility for a first name, maybe combined with Marie, or as a middle name.

Joséphine was one of the first names of the Grand Duke’s mother and it's also one of Princess Alexandra’s middle names. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess chose Joseph as one of Prince Charles’s middle names. I think this is a very strong possibility for either a first or middle name.

Marie is basically a given for a girl as well; it is also probably more likely as a middle name than as a first name, but could be paired with another name, which is very common in the Grand Ducal Family (Marie-Adélaïde, Marie-Astrid (x2), Marie-Christine, Marie-Gabrielle, etc).This would honor a very long-standing family tradition (and the current Grand Duchess), and I’ll be really shocked if the do not choose this as one of the names.

Stéphanie would obviously honor the Hereditary Grand Duchess. Although it is probably unlikely as a first name, it could be chosen as one of the middle name spots. Prince Charles has his father’s name as a middle name, so they may choose to do the same for a daughter.

Teresa or Thérèse would be a nice choice to honor the Grand Duchess. Both Princess Amalia (the daughter of Prince Félix) and Princess Alexandra have a combination of Marie/Maria and Teresa as middle names, so it’s possible that the Hereditary Grand Ducal Couple will choose to do this as well. I think it is somewhat less likely for the first name, but a pretty good possibility for a middle name.

Wilhelmine is one of Princess Alexandra’s middle names, and is the feminine form of the Hereditary Grand Duke’s own name. Probably this wouldn’t be used as a first name, but it is a pretty good possibility for a middle name, considering the tradition of family members named with variations of Guillaume or Wilhelmine.

Conclusion

Of course there are many, many other names in both the Grand Ducal and Lannoy families that could be chosen (Albert, Antoine/Antonia, Christian, Claudine, Elisabeth, Félicité, Gabriel/Gabrielle, Isabelle, Leopold, Louis/ Louise, Robert, and Sébastien, just to name a few). The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess could also choose a name that isn’t a family name, especially for a second child who is not the heir. As I mentioned, they surprised me with the name Charles, so all of this speculation should be taken with a good portion of salt ;)

That said, my guess would be something like Jean Paul Philippe Marie Guillaume or Henri Guillaume Félix Marie for a boy. 

For a daughter, I’ll say Joséphine Alix Teresa Wilhelmine Marie or Alix Marie Christine Wilhelmine Charlotte.

[allpromarlo]

since the important part of you (my mutuals) asked, here's rose oc wank: nfl edition

this is gonna get a lil unrealistic and of course if you (for some fuckn reason) have a problem with ocs for a real life sports league then GET OUUUTTTTT

n e ways

so i already spoilered some of the things this peculiar group of Sad Wet Men have to offer but i wanna start with the running back or as i (the name generator i ran through 437 times.) called him, duane cameron. he's a rb who got drafted in 2011 in the 2nd round bc i just can't let go of my senior citizens (terms and conditions apply i KNOW 34 isn't old) to the panthers. i don't know if they were actually in need of a rb at that time but fuck it they have one now and he's gorjus.

he's known cam (1st ovr pick yannooooo) since high school (after moving away from canada...but that's a whole thing i don't even wanna get into that) and when they got drafted to the same team cam was more enthralled by it than duane but hey he'll have to live w that now. no eli manning shenanigans you are STAYING THERE

n e ways he played for the panthers for a couple seasons and he was always in the top 10 rb conversations (from 2012 onwards bc the only thing people remember him for in 2011 is getting batista bombed by jj watt). he won opoy in 2014 for the first time and repeated in 2015. yk what also happened in 2015.

bc i am chronically living in the past and i'll never stand for the injustice that was dealt on that particular day in 2016, of course my 6'7 babygirl (don't question the dimensions. just Don't.) was the missing piece to the panthers super bowl and they do win that shit fuck you and your big ass forehead peyton. duane also wins sbmvp bc of his outlandish 377 yard performance (I FUCKING WARNED YOU) but you could expect that

n e ways after an easy repeat in 2016 (julio i wanted you to have this so bad but...the Narrative) and some drama in 2017 (mainly due to cam making the bail for no fucken reason) my boy finally hung up the boots in carolina and signed with the ravens because i am a biased little fangirlie and i want my team to have everything. he won the chip in 2019 w the murder birds and maybe sorta somewhat did it again in 2022 but shhhh

n e ways this was a LOT for just one guy and trust me he's the only one with that much history. movin tf on

so in my last post i did mention a 2nd oc who's a social experiment. well his name is ansis knight (that was NOT my idea btw i asked my brother to give me a name for a cornerback and this is what he came up with) and he's a social experiment in the sense that he's literally german. like his dad is american and everything but the dude grew up in Heidelberg, schönste Stadt im Land.

as i said he's a cb & plays for the eagles as of right now and he's very. idk. he's a dumbass and he does things he shouldn't do a lot of the time but Never On The Field. on the field he's the most annoying little bastard (especially for qbs bc for SOME FUCKING REASON he's everything everywhere all at once and they can't escape him) and wrs have a burning hatred for him (so do i). but off the field he's just this very Peculiar Personality and nobody knows what his deal is except amon-ra bc out of all the wrs he bothers every week amon-ra gets the most of it. you can imagine how he reacted when he saw his week 1 matchup last season

not a lot of history on him bc he's still fairly new but i'll just say he's my weirdest saddest wettest football guy and i love him very a lot

AND NOW. FOR THAT MOTHERFUCKER THAT WAS PART OF THE FUCKING NBA OC POST (which is so outdated by now you don't even know)

cole grAnt.

i'll take away first that he's shrunk a bit (6'10 is ENOUGH, jfc) and he's an edge rusher now which means he's the biggest menace to society the world has ever seen. he was drafted by the colts in the 6th round after a solid college season (UNDERDOG STORY RAAAAHHHHH) but they traded his ass to baltimore (eheh. hey) after an...interesting 2021 season. let me explain por favor

basically, he was tackled pretty fucking hard at one point (however hard you can hit a 6'10 dude who's built like a fucking wardrobe) and hit the ground awkwardly. @ the beginning he thought it was just a concussion and bc it was right ahead of bye week, he came back the next game. in THAT game tho he collapsed on the field and when they did a scan on his ass they found that a blood vessel exploded in his brain which caused intracranial hematoma (inner bleeding in the brain for all you non googlers). my man basically died for a second and he didn't play another game afterwards, but in 2022 he came back w a vengeance and he made joe burrow's life HELL in week 5 (and the wildcard game)

i don't know why i went THAT hard on cole's injury i just thought that i was coddling these men too hard and needed one of them to SUFFER. i mean duane already did for the duration of the 2018 season but i needed PHYSICAL SUFFERING i needed there to be BLOOD.

anyways that would be all i hope you understand at least some of it goodnight goodbye

@heyitswolfman pls accept my humble offering + apology i had some bs to deal w today so this comes late <3<3 sawry

#if this doesn't get any notes i'm deleting it next morning #you have till 7 am #now you're all familiar with my disaster children. thank u for ur attention #nfl #oc philosophies

Wheelman 2019 (X Reader) Chapter Five - I Told You To Run, YN!

So, people. This i the last chapter of my Wheelman fic. Tiny celebration, with a finished Fic here on Tumblr. Next week "Bound & Brockened" will begin. And that one is seriously something to follow along.

- That I got Fucked by a criminal, in the park?

He looks at you for some time.

- You'd tell your friends that?

He kisses you again.

- You think I would? I mean, If I could tell my friends that a criminal, bank robber fucked me in the park, you think I would?

He lets out a little nervous laugh.

- Well, if I could tell my friends that I fucked a Bounty Hunter in the park, do you think I would?

- Absolutely, I think that.

He playfully nudge your shoulder, before there's a sound. Footsteps. Someone is moving towards you. Slowly, quiet. Definitely someone who is looking for something, or someone.

He quickly and quietly gets you down on the ground, lies on top of you, covering your mouth, and holds a finger over his lips.

- Shhhh...

You reach behind his back, get his gun out from his pants. He gets the other one. Both of you are ready to fight. He leans down. Whispers in your ear, so quiet you have to concentrate to hear him.

- When I say go, you run. I'll cover you!

You shake your head. He's still covering your mouth, so you can't talk.

- Yes, YN. You do! I got you into this. Now I'm getting you out of it.

His voice so determined that you don't dare to argue with him. You can bring your gun with you, run and hide somewhere close, and then double back.

He rolls of you, on his back, with his gun ready. You try to make your body ready to run. Looking around you, searching for the easiest way out.

Then you see the two pair of feet closing in. Fuck! You slow your breathing down. Look over at him. Firm lips. Concentrated. He almost looks scared. Is he? How the fuck can you know? He probably knows these guys. Is he fighting his friends, shooting at his friends? Do criminals even have friends? Allies you know. But those are not friends. They just work together because it's mutually beneficial. Kinda like when your father does jobs for the Police.

He looks at you one more time. Once again his finger over his lips. You nod.

- NOW!

He yells, as he fires four rounds at the guys closing in. You almost don't hear what he says, but the vibrations the sounds make, makes you get up and run. More shots fired behind you.

You don't run far. It's dark outside the paths in the park, and right now, you praise the fact that you like to dress in black. And the fact that your hair isn't blonde. It's almost impossible to see you. Once you feel that you are far enough away, you kneel down behind a big rock.

The shots stops. You slowly get up. No movements over there. It could be a trap. But you still have a full magazine in your glock, and you're a good shooter, even in the dark. You slowly move back towards your hiding spot. Still no movement. You're so focused on finding Frank, that you almost trip over the first guy. Quickly bending down to check his vitals. Fucking dead!

A couple of more steps, and you see the other guy, when you move closer, you can see something or someone under him. Frank! You push the guy off him. No movement. You check his vitals. He's still breathing, so this must be something else. Hit his head maybe. Fuck!

You shake him, and he comes too with a bang.

- Fuck. Motherfucker. Fuck you!

You take his face between your hands. Look in in the eye.

- Hey... Hey, Frank.. It's me.. Calm down!

It's like he suddenly gets his brain back.

- I told you to run, YN

- I did!..... And then I came back. Come on. Someone definitely heard that, the Police will be here. We have to move!

You try to drag him with you. He grabs your arm. Points to his right leg.

- He shot me twice. I can't run anywhere!

You look around for something to tie around his leg, maybe if you just find a car, you can get away. He stops you.

- Run, YN!

- The Police will get you!

- Take the money, and run! If I don't have the money, they have no prof. Take them!

You look from him to the bags and back again.

- No!

Sirens starts to approach. Frank once again grabs your arm. Pulling you down to him. Kissing you intently.

- You know the place in Long Island where you bought your car?

You nod..

- Meet me there in four months.

- What if you're not there?

He takes both the duffle bags, and gives them to you.

- That means I'm in jail, and you need to buy your own car!

You kiss him again, keep your lips on his, for as long as you have time for. Before the sirens is dangerously close.

- Now, go! Four months, YN! Now run!

You run. Fuck. Triple fuck. You never thought you'd ever end up in a situation where you had to run from the Police. And Frank. Fuck!

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

Four months later, you again walk into the place where you bought your BMW. Not knowing if he'd be there. He sounded pretty confident, that he wouldn't end up in jail. But you know how the system works. One fingerprint, even if it is for another crime committed. It would take him down. Fuck the Police, fuck the system. Why the fuck are you even here?

- Looking for a car, Miss?

You know that voice. A smile starts to form on your lips, as you slowly turn around.

When your eyes meet, he winks at you. And you know how to play your part.

- Yes. I'd love a new BMW M5 CS. My old one.. I didn't like the colour...

He calmly walks over to a dark green one. Drags his hand over the roof of it.

- I think this one will fit you perfectly, Miss. What is your budget?

You smile at him, and tilt your head towards a dusty car outside.

- Oh, about 230.000 I'd say. Not totally sure. I didn't count it myself..

He sends you a smile. Before walking over to a cabinet, and takes out a key. Tossing it in the air, before catching it again.

- Want a test drive, Miss?

He tosses the key to you. You snatch it.

- Fuck, yeah!

When you're about to get in the drivers seat. The manager comes over to you. Stops you.

- Jared. I know that you're new and all. But when it comes to 200.000$ cars. You'll do the driving.

You look at Frank, mouthing "Jared" to him. He gives you a resigned shrug, before opening the door for you. You walk over to him. He takes your hand and holds it until you are safely in the seat.

He gets in the drivers seat. Puts the key in, and slowly drives out of the store.

When you get out on the road, he looks over at you.

- The money is in the car outside the shop, right?

You look back..

- Yes?

- Good.. The car is ours then...

You laugh..

- Well.. "Jared". We should test out the backseat then.. Don't you think?

He doesn't answer. Instead, he takes the car onto a dirt road, and parks it on a green field, behind a tree. Looks at you.

- You know, YN. I think "Jared" would like that!

You quickly move to the back of the car. It's not hard, more than enough of space between the front seats. To easily slip into the back. He follows closely behind. Getting on top of you, before his lips meets yours. His hands dragging your skirt up. Yours unbuckling him.

- Fuck me, Jared!

You say with a teasing smile. He looks at you for a second, before carefully taking a hold of your chin. Kissing you.

- It's Frank to you, missy...

Your hands move up to his hair. Eyes still locked with his.

- Fine.. Fuck me, Frank...

His hand, pushes your underwear aside, before entering you.

- Fuck! I've been waiting for this...

He growls into your ear.

- I belong to you. Take me!

You say between moans and ragged breathing.

- Mine! All mine!

He says as he fucks you raw, in the back of the car.

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

The manager sits down at his desk, takes up the note left for him there. No names, just handwritten block letters " MONEY FOR THE BMW, IN THE DUSTY PICK UP TRUCK OUTSIDE! AN EXTRA 30.000 FOR THE TROUBLE!"

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

The BMW is fast. It doesn't take long before you're already far away From the city. Frank looks at you, before taking a firmer hold of the steering wheel.

- Want to see what this baby can really do?

You smile back at him.

- Hell yeah!

He clamps the gas down, and the V8 engine shows it's Powers. You don't miss anything. Bounty Hunting can be done from everywhere. And you can do that without your father.

You put the City and your old lives further and further behind you, before you drive into the sunset, with nothing else ahead of you, but the open road.

More film/show quick reviews

I Am Not Okay With This (2020) - ok this is a series but shhhh! I LOVED this. The main girl is SOOO likeable and funny to me. Sad it was cancelled, now I want to read the comic to find out what happens next…

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) - I did watch this once as a kid, but shh. Very quippy and quotable, I kept thinking of various KH crack videos with dubs from this LOL.

Polar (2019) - More camp than I expected LOL. The vibes between Montana and the rest of the film feel like two different movies. In terms of women roles, it feels uh.. pre-Gamer Gate… CW: long sex scene, fatphobia, torture, and the dog dies…

The Spider Man Trilogy (2002, 2004, 2007) - Okay I actually genuinely love how camp these movies are. Love the camera movement. Still really surprised how good the 2004 film is!

The Irishman (2019) - god this movie was so long and for what! LOL. Fantastic performances though. And I got used to the de-aging VFX, even if they caught me off guard at first. Still, perhaps I wasn't the audience this movie was for because I really felt it was so long...

Venom + Venom Carnage (2018, 2021) - Wow I really just… really do not fucking care for car chase scenes LOL. These movies were alright, but honestly I probably will never watch them again haha. Venom and Eddie were funny! I saw glimpses of the sexuality that all the fans were bonkers about (though it was weaker than I expected based on said fans reactions lmao).

Titan AE (2000) - Very very y2k movie LOL. The rock music is sooo funny and does not fit the sci fi at ALL imo lmao. I do prefer Treasure Planet for Jim and Silver’s relationship, so I wish the emotional relationships were stronger in this movie. But still a fun movie. Stith4Ever. Why was Akima’s skull so fucking long.

The Hunger Games films (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)- I know that these movies ironically fulfill the very notion I've heard the books were against (making a entertaining spectacle of dark topics, among other things), I do really like them 🙈 My favorite will always be Mocking Jay pt 1 just because I love that underground-jumpsuit aesthetic LOL. Lock me away, boys 🚓🚨

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) - Okay other than Illumination’s loathsome “Our movies cannot slow down at all even once” problem, this movie was great. They made Mario and Luigi. So. fucking. adorable. And Bowser was great ofc.

American Psycho (2000) - I DO think this is a good film, but I also can’t BELIEVE this satirical doofus is the guy so many men project themselves onto LOL. I wasn’t expecting a theme on conformity, but to me its what makes the movie interesting.

The King's Man (2021) - This delivered what I expected: fun characters, action scenes that are unique and actually interesting, epic music that makes you feel like you’re with old friends. And it delivered what I did not expect: The WEIRDEST erotic scene I have EVER seen LMAO.

Agent Cody Banks (2003) - Saw this so young I don’t really remember it. This movie has a much higher budget than I remember LOL. Not really innovative but it was for kids, and I remember loving it.

Nope (2022) - okay okay I will admit at first I was like “okay how does the monkey connect” but my dumbass didn't realize Jupe had been purposely giving horses to the UFO, so realizing that Jupe tried taming the UFO in the way he thought he tamed the monkey really made me love this film even more. No wonder Jordan Peele's considered the next Steven Spielberg!

Rope (1948) - NGL I was hoping Rupert would go along :/ This would be so fun on see on stage, I enjoyed it!

Psycho (1960) - I enjoyed this too! One scene that will stick with me is the camera shift in Norman and Marion’s conversation when mothers are brought up. Very interesting cinematography there.

Hoodwinked (2005) - l watched this friends lmao; I was very hesitant, but I gotta admit it was funnier than I expected. The various POVs really makes it a unique animated comedy.

Fight Club (1999) - God first 12 minutes of this film I thought I was going fucking crazy! But hey you know I get it now. This is a fun movie. It feels like the opposite reaction to consumerism and conformity than American Psycho’s, an interesting pair of movies.

Three Pines (2022) - Once again, a show not a film, but I really enjoyed this series. Loved the setting, the atmosphere, the characters, the mysteries. Even though its a detective show with murder, I still found it oddly cozy enough to be a comfort show for the future LOL. Maybe it's because Armand is just that likeable!

[zot3-flopped]

I was deleting old files and I stumbled on something I copied from some blog back in 2019 but written when Robin was still alive that is before June 2017, still very relevant now at the end of 2022 (John Cox was Anne's second husband, he was the landlord of a pub in Northwich, Cheshire):

"It’s not that John Cox is irrelevant (which, he is), it’s that we weren’t told about this because it didn’t fit Harry’s posh image. Living above a pub for six years? His mother remarrying three times? Not being actually wealthy? That Robin is the one with money and Harry is just a simple middle-class child?? Nooo!

Just like knowing that Jay and Louis were actually FINE with money and that Louis is SUPER ambitious and auditioned for the X Factor THREE TIMES, took acting classes and recorded demos. It doesn’t fit his laddy, carefree, low-class image so shhhh."

Good find! As far as I'm concerned, Harry was lower middle class and so was Louis. Proper middle class kids nearly always go to private schools, often as soon as the parents' combined income goes over about £150k. Harry was at a state comprehensive school, same as Louis.

#some middle class kids go to state grammar schools #I went to one #but they're very tricky to get into and you have to pass the 11 plus #not all areas have them

A Piece of Heaven on Earth: Part 1

The Book:  TRR Pairing:  Liam x Riley (eventually)  Word Count: 2902 Warnings & Ratings:  Sexual Innuendo, mention of character’s perceived death, profanity; Teen Liam and Riley, Chance, Maxwell and Bryce belong to PB, all others are my own characters  to support our story. Summary:  Riley and Liam meet in an odd situation Song Inspiration:  I by Yiruma Story Inspiration: Just Like Heaven -you see similarity to the storyline of the movie but there will be differences I added in as well.

Original Post:  03/08/22 at 8:43PM EST.

A/N:  This is very special to me.  So please be kind.  I’m writing this as a tribute story to my Riley FC, the late Cheslie Kryst, in a way to deal with my grief which has almost been consuming my life.  I started following her in 2019 when I was watching the Miss USA pageant.  I rooted for her immediately.  Not only was she from my home state, but she was just this bright twinkling light on stage, she was a minority, like me. So when I came to the fandom in January 2020 and started writing stories for TRR I picked her as my Riley FC because she embodied what I wanted my “Riley” character to be.  Even in her untimely passing, I am still finding out more about her life and I have written her pretty accurately, even down to having depression.  So I will say it again.  If you need help please reach out. 

Reach out to someone you feel safe to.  I know I speak for everyone who has lost someone this way; I would rather cry with you over lunch, than cry for you at your funeral.  Cheslie, I miss you, and I really feel like I have your blessing on this one.  Because writing this makes me think of you and smile, when all I had were tears for you previously.  And I really feel that’s what you would want. People smiling when they think of you.  I hope you have found the rest and peace, you were searching for.  And I hope you like this.

RILEY

Riley pushed the door open and was met by a blinding  light.  When her eyes finally adjusted, she was standing on the rooftop of her apartment that had been converted into a garden oasis.  It was her garden, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Who did this for her?

“And who the hell is going to take care of all this? I’ve legit got a brown thumb. Mother Nature or God, I'm gonna need you to handle this!!!”  Riley chuckled to herself, starting to wander through the beautiful sweet smelling flowers.

There was a seat  in the middle, and on it sat a white rose.  For her? It better be, it’s her damn garden, on top of her damn apartment.  She picked up the freshly clipped  de-thorned rose, lifting it up to her nose, to breathe it in.  She closed her eyes as she sighed contentedly. It was the most fragrant rose and its lovely scent filled her nostrils. Riley sat relaxing, basking in the sweet air and the warm sunshine.

And there was a voice… it  was barely audible.   Who was he?  The gentleness of the sultry baritone tone felt familiar though, and put Riley immediately at ease as he began to speak.

“I wrote you a poem. It’s the first one I’ve ever written, because I felt so inspired by your effortless beauty..

Soft, Sweet….

Sensually smiling

Sighs…. Softly….

Shifting Stares…

Sharing Secrets….

Shhhh…….

Shuffling Silently

My Sweet Star. "

Footsteps approached her, and then a hand caressed her shoulder. 

She knew it was him, her soulmate, the one she had always been waiting for.  Riley immediately turned to gaze at the face of the man that had just made her grin like a giddy school girl in love, and just as she did, her alarm went off.

Of course.  And that’s how I ushered in year thirty, with a groan, and a dream that faded away too soon.

Flirty, thirty, and  thriving, is what I heard this birthday was supposed to be. My birthday began observing the torrential downfall  of a hurricane and still my brother and his fiancee wanted to meet for breakfast. We meet every year. It was our tradition. Minus one, my twin sister Taylor was M.I.A.

Of course Jaiden had talked the staff into singing happy birthday to me, whilst bringing a plate of cupcakes Bebe had made special for my day.  Taylor’s absence meant more cupcakes for me. It was one of the many perks of having a baker in the family or almost family, unlimited cakes, cookies and confectionary sweetness whenever the situation warranted.  First birthday serenade of the day? Check.

Sitting quietly for a moment I was able to take it all in. Thirty felt different to me, not going to lie.  The years before it, I felt young and carefree.  Even year twenty nine felt alright.  But this one, even weeks before my birthday, I started becoming introspective.

It made me take a cold hard look at my life as I know it.  Was I where I thought I was going to be in my life? Not completely.  I had the job well, maybe not the job I wanted, but working in the field I wanted. I wasn’t married, had no current romantic  prospects, and no children.  I had a nice apartment a few miles away from my job, and I had my dream car.

I guess in the grand scheme of things I wasn't doing half bad, and my student loans were more than halfway paid off.

“What’s up Dirty Thirty! Happy Birthday!!!”

“Thanks Nico!”

He saw the Tupperware container of leftover cupcakes. "Did Bebe make those? Can I have one?"

I released my grip on the container. Nico grabbed one, almost eating the whole thing in one bite.

He continued talking with an icing covered face.

“You look beautiful, by the way. Tell me you’re finally going to let me take you out so we can celebrate your birthday right?”  

Nico was trying to be cool leaning against the counter.

 The receptionist behind the counter hid the words "don't do him" in a cough.

I laughed at the receptionist. Everyone knew Nico had a playboy reputation around the hospital.

“No Nico, you know I don’t date coworkers. We've been over this before!”  

He grabbed the random flowers from the counter.  “Even if they buy you flowers?”

“You didn’t buy those, you just snatched them off the counter.”  

“You’re breaking my heart RB1.”

“And I told you about calling me that, my sister’s name is Taylor, not RB2.”

“Technically since you are the oldest,  she has your face. The nickname is sound. But fine! Just know, you’re still breaking my heart.”

“I’m sure there is someone on staff that can fix that. Byeeeee Nico.”  

Nico watched Riley walk away from him. 

“That’s never going to happen Nico KH.  If you kept it in your pants, you might have had a chance.”  Bryce patted Nico on the shoulder sympathetically.  

The Locker Room

“Why don’t you just give him a chance Riley?”  Hana asked while they were both in the locker room changing into their scrubs.

“Because Nico has a reputation here. He's been through the whole staff, including some of the nurses.”

“But he’s never been as persistent chasing someone as he’s been with you.”

“So, I'm the one that's gonna turn that hoe into a housewife?!? Yeah right!  I'm just the one that's been impossible for him to catch. Nico is all about the thrill of the hunt. If I give in to him, he’ll leave me alone.”  

“I still think you should give it a chance. He’s been asking for a date, not a trip to the oncall room. And it's free food. You two have chemistry.”

“Enough about me, how’s Maddy? Have you got any new pictures of the baby?  Of course you do, let’s see them.”  

I watched Hana’s voice change and the smile dancing in her eyes, as she went though picture by picture.  Hana had really changed once she had met her soulmate Madeleine, and they had a whirlwind romance, married, and found a donor, and they had an adorable baby girl that looked like Hana reincarnated. Hana had turned into a completely doting mother.

"So is she eating pizza yet?"

"And that's why Auntie Riley isn't going to babysit. She has four teeth."

"Your point is?!? She can gum the hell outta that pizza!  But Makenzie will always think I'm the cool aunt."

"You're right she will."

My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took a quick glimpse at the time.

"Happy Birthday my favorite twin!!!!"

"I'm your only twin. Twin means two Taylor."

"Sorry I couldn't make it for breakfast, but me and Maxwell are trying to create life here. So maybe he already gave me my birthday present."

"Ugh! That was so TMI Taylor."

Taylor continued talking about random plans and Maxwell and their upcoming dinner party.

"Taye, I got to go, we have a code!"

I quickly disconnected the call.

"We have a code?" Hana asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Me, the code is me Hana, because that conversation was killing me."

"I can't with you. RB1." Hana replied with a smile.

"Not you too."

"You should give him a chance. You never know."

Two Weeks Later

"I brought you a dress and heels to wear tonight so you don't show up to dinner in your scrubs. Hana put it in your locker."

"Taylor, I know how to dress myself."

"I want you to look nice, Maxwell invited a friend of a friend to dinner. He thinks the two of you will hit it off. Please make sure you are on time. 7:30 okay?"

I peeked in my locker at what Taylor had brought for me to wear.  Oh good lord!!!

"Yes Mother, I will be there! And you know you could have packed me a dress that doesn't scream 'I'm going stag to prom.' If he doesn't bring a corsage, the blind date is over."

Taylor laughed.

"I’m sorry!!!!! The dress will look amazing on you, Rye.  And I know it's the inside that counts, but I wanted to make your outside match too. I want him to be dazzled by you.  You have too much love in your heart to continue spending your life alone.  I want you to be happy."

As annoying and self absorbed as Taylor could be at times, she had her redeeming moments like this one. I couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you Taylor."

"You're welcome."

Work was busier than normal and at 7:28, I was shimmying into the dress Taylor had left for me. I decided to call Taylor as soon as I got on the road so she would not go nuclear.

"I'm on my way, I'm running behind."

"It's okay he's running late too. You two might be better matched for each other than we initially thought."

"You know I don't need you two to play matchmaker for me. I'm gonna get off the phone here, this rain is awful."

"I'll see you when you get here. Be safe."

"Love you Taylor."

"I love you too Riley."

At least I was able to tell her I loved her one last time.

One of my favorite songs came on the radio, so I glanced down to adjust the volume and began  singing along.  When I heard the screeching of tires, it caused me to sit up in attention; a van had hydroplaned into my lane heading directly towards my vehicle, their bright lights blinding me. My life flashed before my eyes in an instant. This is it….this is how it ends...

"Mom, Dad, Jaiden, and Taylor… I'll miss you…."

I closed my eyes, and braced for the impact. Everything went even brighter  for a second, and then….. there was nothing.

LIAM

It was the twelfth apartment Liam had looked  at with his realtor.  

From the look on his face, it was clear this wasn't the one either.

"This checks off all your boxes Liam. It's everything you asked for."

"Rashad, something just doesn't feel right.  This isn't the one."

Upon walking out of the apartment building a bright red flier caught his eye on the bulletin board.  It said Fully Furnished Apartment for Rent Call NOW.

"Liam there's no way I've arranged twelve apartment visits and none of them you liked. But a bright red flier is going to be the one."

Liam decided to  pull out his cell phone dialing the number and call anyway. The woman on the line was bubbly and cheerful and he liked her immediately.

"Yes we're not even a block away we can look at it now!"

When they got off the elevator,  the door was the most salient on the whole hallway, painted bright red.

"I wonder what's behind the red door?" Liam asked. They didn’t have long to wait as a young lady answered the door.

"Hi my name is Bebe, are you Liam?”

“I am! Nice to meet you Bebe.”

“I can show you the place if you'd like.  My fiance couldn't be here. I just made some cookies too."

“We get cookies too?”

“You catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar, and might I say, too bad I'm engaged because you are quite the slice of heaven, Liam."

Liam laughed.

"Sounds like you’re the Queen of the hive Miss Honey Bebe.  And I'm buying whatever you're selling; flattery gets you everywhere with me."

Bebe laughed, waving them into the dining room.

"So let’s start with a few  chocolate chip cookies. They are fresh out of the oven, and we’ll go from there."

"This is a nice apartment, are you and your fiance moving into a larger place?"

Her face turned sad.

"No, this place belongs to a family member. We're just doing a month to month lease for now."

"It's nice, you mind if I look around a bit on my own, and take some cookies?"

"Sure, go ahead. Makes my life easier."

Liam walked around the apartment.  First settling on the couch.

"Pretty great couch."

"Isn’t it though?  Rye was all about comfort.”

Liam lounged on the couch stretching out and he felt  something in the cushion, pulling out a blue bedazzled collar, reading the name on the collar aloud.

"Chance."

"The family pet."

The apartment door opened and closed.

"Hey babe are you still showing the place?"

"Yeah Jai, we're in here."

Jaiden and Liam both introduced themselves to each other shaking hands, and  Liam continued looking around.

"So Liam, what do you think of the place?"

"I love it. It feels like if Sunshine was a person, this is where she would live."

Liam called from the other room.  Rashad noticed the couple looking somberly at each other, and thought it best to follow Liam and give them a little privacy.

Liam walked up the stairs, out to the rooftop; Liam was already thinking of the possibilities of utilizing the rooftop space.

"Look at this! This is AMAZING!"

"You could really do a lot with this space, though the previous tenant did not.”

“I really love everything about this place, Rashad.”  

“It's month to month though, Liam. But it appears something tragic happened to the previous tenant.  Maybe they will come down in price, and give you a better deal.”

“Even if they don't, I still want this place. It’s worth it.”  

“Okay, let’s go make an offer then.”  

And an offer they did.  Liam also asked for a dozen of Bebe’s chocolate chip cookies for move-in day.  They obliged.

A different man had met Liam to bring him the keys to the apartment who had a resemblance to  Jaiden.

“I’m Jason.  We had the apartment cleaned for you, and as promised some of Bebe’s homemade cookies.”  

“Thank you.”  

It didn’t take long for Liam to get settled into the apartment, and have his stuff neatly put away.  

Liam ordered a pizza, sitting it on the table and going to the fridge for a beer.

When he turned around, A young woman was standing there.  

Both screamed at each other.  Liam dropped his beer, the glass bottle breaking on the floor.

“I KNOW TAE-BO!” she screamed. Taking a fighting stance.

“Um.....wasn’t that a 90’s workout craze?”  

“That’s beside the point!!!!!!  What are you doing here?!?! Get out of my apartment!!!!!”

“It’s my apartment, I leased it.”  

“So did I, and I’ll prove it.”  

She ran out of the room out of Liam's sight.

“Did you clean my apartment?”  

He ran down the hallway to follow her, and as quick as the woman appeared, she was gone.

Liam spent the next few minutes looking around the apartment for the woman but she was nowhere  to be found.   He glanced at the coffee table, he was only on his second beer, so he didn’t think he could have hallucinated the whole thing.  But the woman had evaporated into thin air.

He glanced at the empty beer bottles  in his recycling.  Maybe he had more alcohol than he thought.  But to hallucinate the strikingly beautiful curly haired woman wearing a blue dress and heels, like she was getting ready for a night on the town, seemed far-fetched even to Liam. He thought it best not to mention it to anyone, but he did buy an extra lock to install on the front door.

A few weeks passed and he never saw the woman until he was getting out of the shower.  Liam had felt refreshed, he wrapped the towel around himself 

and as he wiped the steam off the mirror he saw a woman standing behind him.

“I told you to get out of my apartment!!!”  

He jumped and turned around, almost losing his towel.

She screeched and  covered her eyes. The woman was still in the same dress and heels.

“It’s my apartment!”

“What are you doing here!” she shrieked.

“I’m finishing my shower, what are YOU doing here?”

“I live here!!!!!  I’m going to make a call buddy and you’re not going to like it.”  

She stormed out of the bathroom, heading for the bedroom. Liam was right on her heels this time; she was not going to evade him.  

“Who are you going to call?  I think the police would find it funny that you broke into my apartment telling me to leave.”  

“I’m calling my Dad, and he IS the police. I just need to find my cell phone, I usually keep it on the bedside table.”

She glanced down at the table confused.

“You moved my cell phone?  Did you put it in the drawer?  You stole it didn't you?”  She pointed her finger accusingly at Liam. The woman went to grab the drawer to open it, but her hand phased right through it.

“What….? What’s happening?  What did you do to my table?”  

Liam stepped closer to the woman who clearly looked confused and she looked like she was about to panic.  

“Hey…. It's going to be okay…..What’s your name?”  

She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it.

“I don’t know.  I don’t remember.  Where’s my cell phone? What did you do to my table?”

Liam pulled open the drawer for her to inspect its contents.

“I didn’t do anything. Look, I can open it just fine. What's the last thing you remember before you got here just now?”  

“Just you with the pizza and the beer.”

“That was two weeks ago.

 My name is Liam.”   He cautiously stepped even closer to her.

“Liam, why are you looking at me like that?”  

“Because  something happened to you before, and I think that the part you don’t remember is….. you died.”

tag game: fic roundup!

new tag game i’m inventing for everyone and anyone who writes fanfic! Fic roundup!

how many fic documents do you have/where do they live?

80 in icloud notes

30 in Gdrive

7 in OneDrive

6 on MB Pro HD

30 on MB unibody

we will not speak of the ancient sins of my fic that live on my old windows PC. there are probably more than I’d like to think and all of them are from when I was under 20.

So, a grand total of 153 fic documents. oof. all the unfinished fic is haunting me y’all. granted, there is probably an overlap of ~10 or so items, but generally speaking all of these are unique (or unique but related) items lmaooo.

what fandoms do you have fic for?

doctor who, this is probably number 3 in fic quantity, also my OG

star wars, probably the greatest number of fics i have are from star wars

lois and clark, clocks in for number 4, but most of the fics i have for tnaos are LONG af in comparison to a lot of the others.

lucifer, probably number 2 in fic ideas. sorry again to all 150 tgatd fans for not finishing that fic. love ya!

castle, basically 3 main AUs because i recently got re-obsessed with that stupid show. beckett’s hot okay?

miss fisher’s murder mysteries, but only once because my ability to actually write period stuff is low, but this one idea kinda wouldn’t stop screaming at me until i jotted all 2500 words of it down haha

captain america/agent carter. also probably going nowhere, but ya know. the idea was there.

need (carrie jones) (there are literally TWO whole fics for this criminally underrated trashy paranormal teen romance series from 2009 on AO3. TWO fics y’all. anyways Need should have blown up instead of Twilight. All the same goofy paranormal romance love triangle nonsense without the complete disrespect of native american tribes. + norse mythology.)

prodigal son, but mostly only in my head lmao. me: everyone (except martin) on this show deserves to be happy for once. justice for gil/jessica and brightwell!

percy jackson. me, writing fic that’s just about sally jackson?? its more likely than you think. also me, writing latin teacher percy?? also more likely than you think.

how to train your dragon

the x-files. i remembered how sad i was that mulder and scully never got to raise their kid and then wrote mulder/scully & william on the run together to make me less sad about this.

sleepy hollow (tragically. shhhh i can still be sad over all of the lost potential of this show. #icabbie2022)

once upon a time (shhhh this one’s really old. i still sometimes enjoy my favs from this trashy fairytale soap opera ok?)

tldr; i write too much fic for too many things.

how long is your longest unpublished wip?

~11K words (53 pages). It’s a Lucifer case-fic that I first conceived up in the hiatus post “The Good the Bad and The Crispy” as far as I remember, but I didn’t get back to it again until late 2019 early-mid 2020. The in show context of the fic is still somewhat vague even after FIFTY f**king pages. I am still back and forthing about whether I want it to be an AU post “The Good the Bad and the Crispy” or an AU post “A Devil of My Word”. If it’s an AU post “The Good the Bad and the Crispy” I’ve obviously not had pierce/cain show up as a character thus far, and so I’d have to decided if he even exists in this AU. Maybe not because I wanted to yeet him into the sun when i was watching the show lmaooo. Still incredibly grateful to the wonderful @petrichorishly for their encouragement on this dumb, crazy idea. <3

what fic types are most common in your wips?

I’m a slut for AUs and UAs in my fic unfortunately. Like honestly, 90% of the 153 of these fics are AUs/UAs of some flavor or other.

do you have any ongoing ‘verses/series in your wips, if so, what are they?

Yup. too many.

luke leia switch fic. ft. a real outline (probably split into 5 fics overall: short pre-ANH, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, short post ROTJ epilogue/future fic)

hounds of hell lucifer ‘verse (short, sweet, fluff or h/c one shots in the same ‘verse)

water ‘verse for DW, aka the telepathic Rose Tyler AU. probably split into 1 fic per season, 1 chapter per episode, somewhat like nancy kelley formats her behemoth TMMOT)

witch!chloe AU ‘verse for Lucifer (probably a pre show short, a fic for S1, a fic for S2)

force sensitive!padmé ‘verse(s) (one is basically just a bunch of one-shots in the same-ish universe. lot less organized lmao)

eldritch horror skywalkers fic (probably 1 fic per skywalker or something idk)

long or short fic?

both. both is good. I have a lot of short little introspective semi-AU stuff, but I also have a number of single fics that are long as fuck. for the purposes of this post making me think about writing, I’m going to list those here:

Smallville murder mystery fic. Biggest decision I haven’t made is whether or not this fic is in the continuity of my already published lois is an alien fic “starchild”

Hiccup succeeds in running away from berk with Toothless AU fic

castle witches AU

caskett high school sweethearts AU

Vader survives ROTJ AU, ft. legends solo kids

Leia O swaps universes with Leia S fic

lois and clark future kids fic

divorce attorney beckett fic

single parents caskett AU
