Aspen: Across the River, Chap. 2
Tumblr media
It’s now Friday and Friday nights aren’t as exciting as you think. My best friend on the other hand...
Aspen. Asp, I like to call her, she’s my best friend, well best friend is an understatement. She’s been with me ever since I moved to Windbrook. I'm a very independent person but she really knows how to bring me out of my shell and helped me meet all my friends when I first got here. She is the queen of planning Friday nights out. 3am swims, midnight movies, hiking, surfing or even just chilling at home (which those are my ideas of the perfect fridays). She has always been the go-getter.
 “So what shall we do tonight?” She flops down on my bed and puts her head in my lap.
 “Stay home and watch a movie?” I say hopefully “Ha! You're funny, we're going to Claire’s, her parents are out of town and she has the whole house to herself, Molly, Payton and Gabe are gonna be there too!”
 I roll my eyes at her “I knew you already had something planned, why even ask me?” she gives me a sickly smile “to be polite”. I sigh and stand up, Grabbing my green jacket that used to be my dads. As we drove down my street I stare at the thick wall of trees, And my mind drifts off to Foster. Him being so friendly when we first met. Like he knew me somehow. Or surprised I was there. It’s a public park.
 “I met someone the other day” 
The car suddenly stops, I jolt and my seatbelt tugs across my chest. “WHAT?!” Asp says. “God, Aspen you almost just killed us”. “I literally just stopped the ca- wait that's not the point. Forest what do you mean you met someone, a boy, you met a boy? or girl? sorry you know I don't judge” We are stopped in the middle of the road and she’s staring at me so intensely. 
“Yeah, a boy but it’s not like that I was walking Cooper and had my headphones on and he yelled at me from across the river”. I try to look anywhere but her “what was he doing In the woods in the first place? burying a body?”   
“He was just skipping rocks, I don't know” she blinks slowly at me “Did you at least ask him his name?! You're the kind of person that would just walk away if I cute guy was talking to you”.
 “First of all, ouch, second of all, yeah thats true and I never said he was cute.” 
she rolls her eyes at me “oh come on, look at you, you're literally blushing thinking about it ” I sigh. “His name is Foster, He was really nice for a stranger, he told me he just moved here and asked for my name but I got scared and walked away”
“New guy? Foster? hm, I like it, sounds kinda mysterious to go along with the whole skipping rocks thing”.
 “I don’t think skipping rocks is mysterious”.
 She presses her lips together “It kinda is and besides, this is great! maybe you’ll see him tomorrow when you walk Cooper again.”
 “Maybe I don't know, you know I've never had any kind of relationship”. She head tilts slightly “Why though, I mean guys have liked you in the past and you just never seemed interested?”
My chest suddenly feels heavy. “Yeah, I know and I do like guys and find them attractive its just--” 
 Suddenly a car beeps behind us making Aspen drive again. The car falls silent hoping she won't make me talk about it again. I don’t know if Im ready to admit anything yet to anyone. “ You know it’s okay to like someone, I know how you feel about that kind of stuff but it may be good to get out there”. she says as she pulls up to a red light. 
I roll my eyes “you sound like my mom”.
“Well Mrs. C is never wrong” I don't say anything and we pull up to Claire’s 5 minutes later. “Well you and I are going to talk more about this later but for now I'm telling the others about Mr. Rock skipper” as she runs to the door. “DON’T YOU DARE” and I run after her. 
...
OMG! I am so sorry for abandoning this story. Junior year was stressful and now I'm a senior and bored so I'm back on it! I promise to upload as much as I can!!!

Because I didn't get a chance to do a Valentines day thing I'm gonna do this one and another.
So enjoy.
Roses? Chocolates? And Ugh.
A Heisenfield short
Karl glared at Chris. A few years had passed and the pair had been living together. Oddly enough, Chris agreed to let Karl work with Wolf Hound Squad. The man had become their trump card.
Chris was searing some steaks, after all it was a romantic dinner.
"Surf and turf."
The big man had spoke, when he was toting groceries in. Karl had never had lobster... Steak sure. Potatoes, fuck yeah. But seafood? That was a new thing...
"Humph."
The Metal Man had huffed, and walked over burying his face into Chris' back. Mumbling something along the lines of:
"You don't have to do this." And, "Im really hungry..."
Chris only laughed, his hearty and loud giggles rumbling through his body. It made Karl relax and smile a bit, giving Chris a squeeze.
The burly bear man had brought home blue roses (at Karl's distaste for the red ones) and a big box of chocolates for his significant other.
Snatching up the box of chocolates, Karl pointed at the food cooking in the pans,
"Thats what we're eating? Looks good..."
His eyes flashed yellow as Chris turned around, the idiot had a big smile on his face. And wrapped his arms around Karl's form.
"Yes. Hence why I'm cooking, dear."
Karl gave a grumble at the name, and grabbed another handful of the chocolate, munching on it...
Chris giggled and rubbed Karl's back.
The holiday was usually spent alone, for Chris. So this was new but not unwelcome. Karl rested his chin on the shelf of Chris' pectoral.
"It done yet?"
Chris rolled his eyes and moved away, just a little bit, to flip over the steaks one last time.
"Just about. You wanna pick out what we drink?"
At "Drink" Karl perked up and walked over to the liquor cabinet. And bent over, giving a lil wiggle.
Karl enjoyed the liquor cabinet.
And so did Chris, the big man liked to see his man bent over.... Karl was thicc.
The Metal Bender came back, holding the whiskey in his hands, along with two glasses.
Chris gave a smile as he went and started to plate the food. And then walked over to the table and placed the food down.
Karl set the glasses down and popped open the whiskey, dragging a chair closer to where Chris had sat down at. And plopped down, taking a drink, then handing said bottle to Chris.
Rolling his eyes, Chris took the bottle,
"I ment wine or champagne... Not-"
Karl leaned over and gave Chris a kiss, long and deep. Devouring the others face, so he'd shut up. Pulling the bigger man closer, Karl stuck his tongue into Chris' mouth earning a moan from the other. Purring, Karl took a hold of Chris' shirt with an iron grip.
The food forgotten, Karl let go, and gave Chris a sultry look. Walking back into their shared bedroom, the rugged man gave a wink and strode away.
Chris, took the bottle, a deep drink and followed, wiping his mouth.

Falsettos (again)
seeing as a already made a bajillion posts the first time i saw uk falsettos im not gonna talk about the differences between this production and the broadway version (i have talked enough about the chess game and what more can i say. but also. FUCK!!)
so im just gonna say the stuff that was different from last time or stuff i didn't notice at first:
the jason we had this time was much sweeter and softer and less whiny which didn't work as well in act one but was HEARTBREAKING in act two
he did do good faces tho like kept rolling his eyes and sighing @ Mendel and Trina
i spent 90% of the time watching marvin bc god the way he reacts to Every Thing that happens like the constant self-victimising and personal offense he takes to every comment.. god.
actually he seemed less overtly angry in act one compared to last time like obviously the anger was still there but it really felt like he was just having like. an absolute nervous breakdown
the first time at the slap marvin IMMEDIATELY backed off just from himself and trina, and mendel put out a hand but mostly was comforting trina. this time mendel actually grabbed marvin and pushed him away.
we had Matthew McKenna Mendel which means ive now seen/heard him do all three of the principal male parts and i gotta say. mendel was his best. I think i actually preferred him to joel montague. he doesn't have the emotional depth for Whizzer/Marvin but he has this kind of... easiness w jason and trina when he's mendel which was really nice. I Trusted Him.
when he put on the headband to exercise w Trina in day in falsettoland he wore it more like a hat it was great.
not the most relevant point but he rly put his hips into everything. this was very noticable from our vantage point. also at one point he was kinda surfing on the wheeled trunk directly in front of our faces and i truly thought we were gonna die.
in making a home he tried to get Trina to dip him
WHIZZER AND MARVIN.
i truly cannot get over daniel boys and oliver savile it's just. too much. they're too much
the way their body language towards each other changes between act one and act two... like the actual interactions aren't that different but there's so much hatefulness in the first act and so much love in the second.. i need a moment
i know i wasn't going to talk about what more can i say again but. Marvin is so happy and soft :(
the first time we watched it the collapse in More Racquetball was So Much like it was a massive fall backwards that made the stage shake. this time the racquet just slipped out of his hand on 'excuse me' and he just kind of,,, sat down weakly. and then folded into marvin's chest/neck when he'd finished the line.
like. literally. he was just slumped leaning against marvin completely w his face buried in the crook of marvin's neck and marvin was Gripping the back of his head and holding him. im
watching whizzer's face all thru the hospital scenes.. and his bitter resignation even in the ''''happier'''' moments. excuse me. excuse m
he ends gotta die some time. crying
i was still sad that they changed the staging of something bad reprise so that it wasn't directed at marvin anymore, but something i didn't notice last time (and might not have happened last time?), is that while charlotte is up behind the picture frame singing it, Jason is still in the other picture frame from his miracle of judaism bit, and they.. look at each other. and because they were on opposite sides of the stage it wasn't like she was singing it TO him, more like she had realised the implications and what would happen to marvin was looking at jason w pity, and jason noticed and just. Knew.
IN what would i do...... when Whizzer is dying in Marvin's arms.. in between the lines of the song he's really quietly crying and whispering 'marvin' in this scared voice and marvin is going 'shh it's okay' but it wasn't ok. i wasn't ok.
ALSO SORRY I KNOW I SAID THIS LAST NIGHT BUT HFHDJ natasha o'brien playing cordelia as jewish. WHYYYYY did that happen her epithet is SHIKSA CATERER it threw me so much. if i needed a reminder that there was no one jewish involved in this production that was it. idk she was a good actress but she was very Hard and didn't have any real chemistry w charlotte and even tho i mostly preferred the cast i saw the second time i missed natasha j barnes v much
anyway in summary i TRULY appreciate the problems w this production and it IS a disgrace that there is not even one single jewish person involved but also. Choices Were Made in the staging and themes and the cast for marvin, whizzer, and trina absolutely break my heart. thank u
