“Stand Up On Your Toes” w/ BRUCE•W
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Bruce and you are in bed, your partner minimally damaged from his regularly scheduled nightly duties and for once in a long while in bed with you before four in the morning.
You were the only person who could get him to stay his behind home so it was an early night for you too. Normally you’d stay awake till two to monitor everyone before Alfred took over.
You are taking full advantage of said forced bedrest though. So while he’s pouting you’re cuddled up to him and scrolling through TikTok, cause why not? This specific challenge or whatever comes across your screen and you watch it in mild interest.
That is until you get to thinking. Could you do that? It wasn’t a move you pulled out because putting your hands on somebody's dirty floor was not it, but maybe you could do it just this once?
Plus you were in the manner, a speck of dust didn’t land on something for more than five seconds before Alfred was coming after it with extreme prejudice, so the floor definitely wasn’t dirty.
Decision made you climb out of bed. Now Bruce’s gaze had already deviated to you because you’d let the TikTok repeat for a while now but he doesn’t even bother to continue pretending like he was still looking at the notes from the last WE meeting he missed.
You turn the volume up and glance over to see your husband not at all hiding his interest, face open in question. You nod towards the phone.
“I can do that right?”
He hums and reaches over to look at your screen. “You're perfectly capable of a lot of things. I don’t-”
He gives the video a critical look for two beats. When he looks back up to answer his voice is tinged with amusement.
“Can you do this?”
You just grin up at him as Kevin Gates’ deep voice dools out instruction on top of the beat.
Bruce only looks more intrigued, face soft in a way it can’t be outside of the manor, as you bend forward at the waist with your legs spread apart.
“We’re about to find out.”
It would be kinda embarrassing if you face planted or something but you’d find a way to survive.
And Bruce wouldn’t dare laugh. Not where you could tell at least.
Okay, so maybe you can do it. Really well. And maybe - just maybe - you managed to pull a surprise Pikachu face out of Bruce. And maybe you disregarded a little bit of the “rest” part of “bedrest” afterwards. Who’s to say.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
NOTES: It’s short af, but hope you enjoyed!
Alright, so I didn’t get this out for January because I fell asleep so….I’m mostly just mad at myself but yeah.
I know the trend’s not a thing anymore but this is also kinda old, and I don’t really care.
Happy Black History Month!

In a shocking turn of events, legislation that appeals to 200+ people rather than just 6 people makes it easier to get the 200+ votes needed to pass the legislation.
Who could have seen this coming? I mean, besides literally everyone who isn't Kevin "Surprised Pikachu Face" McCarthy.

TBZ reactions to their s/o being shy and having an rbf in public but really talkative around ppl they know
requested by: @dalivanmagritte 
i’m reallly sorry this took me so long to post! T__T I thought I’d be able to finish it in one day,,, but that unfortunately was not true. I hope you enjoy! <3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sangyeon:
would be so used to you being super talkative and fun that whenever you were both in public he was surprised by how scary you could look when not smiling. like he’d look over and see you zoning out bc you felt really uncomfortable around strangers and he’d be like “shoot i need to go talk to her before someone thinks she’s plotting murder” so he’d rush over and be like “whatta thinking about that makes you look so grim?” and you’d be like “oh i was just wondering if I should wash my clothes when I get home or wait until tomorrow” and he’d like blink--- and then shake his head wondering how you can be so different around strangers than you were when you were around ppl you were comfortable with. he likes to stay near you most as much as possible in public bc he knows it makes you more comfortable.
Jacob:
the first time you met he was like “oh she’s scary!!” and then his friend introduced you to each other and you became friends and then he completely forgot about ever thinking you were scary bc you were so talkative and silly around your friends. but then after you started dating you went out together and he left for a moment and you started to feel really uncomfortable around all the ppl there and so you stopped smiling and looking around with interested and just sat there with a serious face avoiding all eye contact and when he came back he had a flashback of first meeting you and was like “ummm hey” and you looked up and smiled and looked like your usual self that he was use to and he was like “you look mad scary when you’re not smiling” and you laugh and you’re like “I know. It keeps the weirdos away” you don’t spend that much time around ppl you don’t know after you started dating him though, so it’s all good
Younghoon:
I mean, he sort of has an rbf too so you’ll would connect over that, like the first time you met you were at the library studying and you both looked so scary everyone avoided y’all so you started sitting at the same table so others could sit together away from y’all and then one day something funny happened and you both laughed and you both looked so pretty smiling that everyone in the library was like *mouth drops open* anyways, you and younghoon kinda start liking each other bc you’re always together at the library so you start dating and you’re so happy together you forget how scary you both look until you go out into public alone and look like murder is on your mind. You have a picture of each other smiling as your lock screens so you remember to smile and not scare ppl in public. 
Hyunjae:
he’d tease you a lot lol. he knew you for a long time so he kinda got used to your rbf when you were around unfamiliar ppl so he teases you so you smile and look cute again. and he knows you could talk for hours once you're around ppl you like, and he loves that more than anything. he actually realized he was in love with you while watching you zone out across the room. like he always thought “where would this girl be without me��� and then suddenly he was like “wait--- i need her more than she needs me” but he just loves seeing you looking all scary in public and ppl lowkey being afraid of you and so you approaches you all coolly and is like “YAH!!” right in front of your face and everyone is like “this dude is gonna get socked in the nose for that” and then you just smile and he’s like “yes. mission accomplished” and everyone’s like “hold on she looks really friendly when she’s smiling!” but they never get a chance to talk with you once hyunjae is around bc he keeps you all to himself knowing you feel more  comfortable and happy that way and he loves listening to you talk.
Juyeon:
legit thought you hated him at first and was like “shoot i made this girl hate me and idek what i did” and then one of your friends walks up and you start smiling and he’s like “oh. that girl is beautiful! and she looks really friendly once she smiles” so he tries to get to know you and you instantly like him so you begin talking freely with him and he’s like so whipped for you whenever you smile which is often when you’re talking. so he just listens and listens while you go on and on. and he just loves that he won your trust. he wonders how he could ever think you were scary until you’re left in the corner of the room by yourself and you feel afraid around a lot of strangers so you stop smiling and talking and avoid ppl and he’s like “sjkfjskdksjdkjksjdk I need to go talk be with her rn so she’s happy again” and basically that’s how you start dating. while you guys are dating it’s pretty much the same thing-- he loves listening to you talk and he loves more than anything that you’re comfortable around him.
Kevin:
you were at the library and you zoned out and you were staring all scarily in the same direction kevin was sitting in and he *that meme of the kid holding the cup and who keeps looking sideways at the camera* like he really thinks you’re gonna approach him about something he never did. so he goes over to you and he’s like “are you ok?” and you jerk out of your daydream to see this really cute guy looking at you worriedly and slightly scared and you’re like “ohhh ummm yeahhh why do you aks tho???” and you smile a little bc gosh he’s cute and he’s like “gosh she’s cute” and he’s like “oh nothin” and uses a cheesy pickup line to get your number and you start dating/ become bffs and he lowkey loves that you look so scary when you’re around other ppl but then open up like a flower in the sunshine with him and you and him laugh and talk like there’s no tomorrow whenever you’re together bc you’re both pretty talkative. y’all are inseparable! but like he picks up the habit of looking scary and avoiding eye contact with ppl bc of you and his friends are like “?????” but he doesn't even realize how much he’s been influenced by you. 
Chanhee:
he meets you through mutual friends and they warn him like “yeahhh she looks really scary around ppl she doesn’t know but be warned, she’s SUPER talkative once you get to know her” and chanhee’s like “scary around ppl you don’t know? a girl after my own heart” and so you immediately click like---yeahh bffs! you both look scary in public tbh, but when you’re alone you just talk and talk and he just listens with heart eyes bc he loves listening. and you always look so happy when you’re with him or your friends and he’s just like “ahhhhhhh she’s so cute!!!” even when you look like you want to murder someone out in public. you’ll both just glare at ppl together when out in public sometimes even though you’re happy together, just to annoy your friends lol. chanhee never judges you or forces you to talk with ppl when you’re feeling uncomfortable. he 100% understands and instead of saying things like “you should just tryyyy to talk to someone new!!!” he’d be like “what? you’re feeling uncomfortable? mmkay, let’s go...rn!” and y’all would leave-- doesn’t even matter where you were at.
Changmin:
would be like “??????” the first time you felt comfortable enough around him to open up. he thought your gloomy face and quiet personality was who you always were and he was starting to fall in love with that part of you when you burst open like the sunshine and just talked and laughed freely. and then you’re like “oh,,, i’m sorry. did i startle you?” and he’d be like *shocked pikachu face* “oh my goodness no! your laugh is ADORABLE!!!!” and then he’d constantly do things to make you smile and laugh and bring up topics he knew you could talk about for days bc he’s just so in love with you. every part of your personality is endearing to him. he’d tease you after you’d been dating for a while and he knew the limit to which he could tease you without going too far. he’d pretend not to know you and look all scared if he ”happened” to end up standing next to you and like jokingly make a “help me” face to his friends and then someone would notice and start to walk up to him to rescue him from the scary quiet girl and then he’d start laughing and hold your hand while you rolled your eyes.
Haknyeon:
confused. how could you be so different around strangers than when you were with him? even with your friends your social battery would run out soon. but when you were with him?? you had no limit to your energy and excitement and you showed your happiness so easily to him whereas with others you looked scared and skeptical even if you were happy. he worried about you a lot at the beginning of your relationship,,, like you’d be standing there zoning out, not talking to anyone, and he’d be like “gosh, is she ok???? did someone say something upsetting to her????? did she receive bad news????” and he’d rush over to you as soon as he could whenever he saw you starting to look abandoned and sad out in public. after dating for a while you learned to just constantly hang on to his arm bc he protected you from strangers trying to converse with you. when you two were alone you both talked a lot but you laughed even more, like you would have deep meaningful conversations and then just switch to telling the lamest jokes and rolling on the floor dying with laughter and then he’d just look at you while you were smiling and wiping away tears from laughing and he’d smile thinking he was the luckiest guy in the world to have you--- all to himself!
Sunwoo:
wouldn’t even be surprised the first time you hung out together and you really opened up. like he could tell there was a lot more to you than your quietness and rbf. when you first started dating some ppl that knew you both would be like “she looks scary af. what if she’s really boring and like,,, mean??” and he’d *cue the tongue in the cheek thing* “shut up”. once you two were dating for a while he would get so used to your talkative bright personality that when ppl are like “ohhh! you’re dating y/n! the really quiet girl?” he’d be like “who tf are you talking about! I’m dating y/n” and they’d be like *confusion*. he knows your quiet personality in public is a part of who you are and he respects that, but like he doesn’t really even remember that part of you, bc most of your time together is spent alone and he knows that’s when you’re most comfortable and your true self. absolutely HATES when ppl misunderstand you and then hold that against you. you don’t really care but he gets really protective over you.
Eric:
would think it was SO cute! he would coo and tease you gently when you were in public together making you crack a smile. when you started dating and he saw that you matched his energy he would be ecstatic! like he could not wait until you were home and in your comfort zone so you could be crazy together and laugh and talk for hours. sometimes in public old ladies would be like “deary,, you must remember to smile sometimes for your pretty bf here” and Eric would be like “????” “she does, but only when we’re alone” and then he would like flirtatiously smile at you causing you to blush and causing the old lady to feel kinda uncomfortable (as she should) literally does not phase him at all that you’re so different around strangers. like he doesn’t understand it, but he doesn’t think it’s weird either. if you’re standing there like “ughhh i hate ppl” written all over your face you’ll just smile to himself bc yeahh he just thinks it’s cute that you’re that way (idek) and then when someone tries to talk with you and he’s around he’ll swoop over and be like “hi. I’m her bf and spokesperson, how can I help”

Tumblr media
so- i'm basically going to be doing an absolute *crack* drabble/headcanon-ish thing based off of the above post that is reblogged to my page so- yeah.
so the foxes are on one of their chaotic grocery trips, which is ten times more chaotic when they go to target, which they did.
so andrew is in his usual spot in the cart with renee pushing and the rest of the foxes chaotically suggesting things and following them.
and it is canon that andrew has a massive sweet tooth while neil really doesn't, but always argues with kevin (his exy bestie ; )) ((and wins)) about letting andrew get candy (((because that boy is gone)))
now, let's for a very unrealistic moment (i did warn you that this was gonna be crack) that the millport cheer squad had stuck together. OR more realistically, they got together for a reunion or something.
yeah, actually, that makes more sense let's go with that.
okay so because the cheerleaders didn't go into cheerleading after highschool, or if they did it was for a different sport or a school that doesn't play exy, or isn't big on it, they don't really follow exy, never really cared for it that much.
(and let's be honest that probably played a part in neils 'beef' with them)
and there is a comment in the original post, about one of the cheerleaders asking neil out and him saying no, so then they hated him, but i like to think that in this crack world, neil is even more of a petty bitch, and the cheerleaders were just as much, if not more so. and also it's funnier if its something stupid and petty.
sO- imagine the foxes in target, surrounded by this chaotic energy, when suddenly this girl's voice just carries across the isle: 'oh my god... neil josten is that really you?'
cue the most dramatic turn in the history of dramatic turns with neil having a horrified face before he says 'stella' (yes ik i'm unoriginal leave me tf alone) in a really dramatic voice.
and no, stella and the rest of the cheerleaders aren't disgusted or freaked out by his scars and new look, because i like to think that not all cheerleaders are dumb, shallow blonde bitches like all those cliches and movies say say : ( (and i mean come on, give them some respect cheerleading is fucking hard) ((i would know, i did cheer camp for a summer a couple years back and i was *dead*))
(they may be a little surprised but anyone would be)
bUt aNyWaY-
the cheeleaders get into one of those cliche mean girls formation, just because
stella: 'so we meet again'
neil: unfortunately
stella: yeah, i'm not exactly sunshine and rainbows over here either, hun
and the cheerleaders just hijack their shopping trip with the foxes having shocked pikachu face the entire time, and the entire time the cheerleaders and neil bicker like the petty bitches they are
but they exchange numbers and have one chaotic gc and they are the ones that convinced neil to finally get an iphone because the green text is 'f-ing annoying'
but andreil still keeps the old phones for sentimental reasons
and they got engaged when andrew threw a ring at neil and said 'yes or no?' and neil said the real important 'yEs'
and the cheerleaders are invited to neil and andrews wedding (i don't fucking care what nora says, they had a wedding and got married)
FUCK MY ADD

Raven King chapter 7

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 7
He hadn't said anything last night, maybe too tired to demand an explanation for last night's fiasco...
Look, I don't like any of these characters. But I'm also not going to sit here and let David drag Neil through the mud simply because Riko thinks that threatening to murder people is a personality trait.
"Tell me why someone who came here early to get away from his parents and who flinched away from me the first time he thought I was going to strike him goes so far out of his way to offend someone like Riko Moriyama. I would have thought you'd have better survival instincts."
He's not wrong. Considering that Neil keeps wanking off about how he has to keep his head down and survive, he sure is going out of his way to do the exact opposite. Signing to a college sportsball team, going out of his way to be around not only Kevin, but also Riko.
Neil is so fucking stupid, and I can't deal.
"You're a real piece of work, you know that?" Wymack asked, coming to rejoin him at the table. "Your parents must be something else."
Coach David: I'm going to have a team of nothing but children who are troubled. They deserve second chances.
The children: *act out because they've never had a positive influence in their lives, and don't know any better*
Coach David: *surprised pikachu face*
"I didn't know," Neil repeated. "Until Coach told me about the Moriyamas this May I knew nothing about Riko's family. After that I thought maybe that's why we met so long ago. I thought Riko's father and mine were discussing territories and borders. But last night Riko said my father belongs to the Moriyamas. What did he mean by that? Why did he say he bought me?"
"Don't lie to me," Kevin said. "We are in enough trouble as it is."
"My mother didn't tell me why we were running," Neil said. "I never asked her why she finally had enough. I was just glad to get away. We never talked about anything real after that. It was always about the weather or our current language or the local culture—the next time she had anything meaningful to say to me was when she was dying. Even then she didn't talk about my father. Not once did she mention the Moriyamas. If she had, I wouldn't be here right now, would I? So tell me the truth."
I get that Neil was a literal child when all of that happened. But after drilling into Neil's head about needing to be on the run, of needing to keep his head down... AND SHE COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY HE NEEDED TO DO THAT?!
Like Neil isn't smart, but I'm honestly blaming a lot of that about his mother failing to teach him fucking anything.
"You were a gift, another player for the master to train. You had two days to win him over: an initial scrimmage with us to show off your potential and a second scrimmage to prove you could adapt to and implement his instructions and criticisms. If afterward he decided you weren't worth his time you would be executed by your own father."
Neil swallowed hard. "How did I do?"
"Your mother wouldn't risk failure," Kevin said. "You never made it to the second practice. She disappeared with you overnight."
The heat in Neil's stomach could have been nausea or rage, but he didn't know who he was angry at. His mother had hated his fascination with Exy his entire life. She'd told him over and over he'd never touch a racquet again but she never told him why. He couldn't understand why she had never explained the totality of what they were running from.
ONE FIVE MINUTE CONVERSATION, AND THIS ENTIRE SHITTY SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN 100% AVOIDED.
COMMUNICATION IS FOR FUCKING SQUARES.
By 'the girls' she meant her stage sisters. Dan, aka Hennessey, had gotten a fake ID back in high school so she could work as a stripper in a nearby city.
Casually mentions child sex workers like it's not a big deal.
"Listen up. There's obsession and there's dysfunction. You can't make Exy your end-all be-all. This won't last forever, okay? You'll shine bright, then you'll retire, and then what? You gonna spend the rest of your life at home alone with all your trophies?"
Somebody had to fucking say it.
Neil thought of his mother's heavy fists on his skin and her fingers knotting in his hair. She'd told him time and time again girls were dangerous.
So his mother beat him until he didn't like girls, but couldn't be bothered to do the same thing about liking exy?
He dragged his attention back to the task at hand and vowed never to listen to Nicky again.
Chapter 7 summary: Neil wakes up on David's couch. He thinks about sneaking out to avoid the confrontation he knows is coming, but decides to get it over with. He tries the old “he started it” route, but David doesn't buy it. When Neil brings up how everybody is of the opinion that Seth was killed, David calls him out on his bullshit. That Seth was a junkie, and Andrew should keep his BS conspiracies to himself.
They go to the stadium, where Neil has his conversation with Kevin. Says that he gambled on Kevin not remembering since Kevin showed no sign of acknowledgment when Kevin went with David to recruit Neil. But he goes on and says that he didn't know about how his father “belonged” to the Moriyamas, and didn't know why he and his mother went on the run. Kevin explains to Neil about how nepotism topples empires, and the head of the Moriyama family wanted for Neil to earn his keep. Wanted Neil to become another little Kevin and Riko. But Neil's mom freaked out over the thought of them murdering a literal child and took off before the guy could decide if Neil would be worth living or not. As I keep saying, it sounds like all of Neil's current shit falls back on his mother's inability to inform him of important stuff.
Kevin tells Neil to run off and continue hiding. To survive. Neil says that he's tired of being on the run constantly. Says that Andrew seems to think that the foxes constant publicity will keep the Moriyama family from murdering him. Kevin says that Neil knows too much, and that even a TV appearance won't stop them. Tells him to go. Neil refuses, and insists he's going to stay. Kevin promises to keep up their nightly practices. They briefly talk about why it is that Andrew is so obsessed with Neil, without moving the plot along.
Some time passes, and Neil tries to bury himself in practice but ignores the news. Then, because this book is hurting for plot, we get a random conversation with Dan about casual sexism and sex work. The book tries and fails to breathe life into the other background characters. There's this really unholy passage about Nicky and Neil talking about Andrew necking on a cheerleader and it's upsetting Andrew. NOBODY FUCKING CARES.
Nicky then starts to talk about how the twin's mother gave both of them up, one ended with his aunt, and the other in foster care. But none of this is new info to the readers, so... move on already. He also mentions that their aunt died, and thinks that Andrew murdered her. Neil believes this. He also off-handedly mentions about how Andrew saved him from being beaten by some homophobic assholes, but got court-ordered drug therapy as thanks.
He then spends a long time talking about Christianity and homosexuality. And it's a heavy topic for sure, but I'm not sure if this is the right book for this. Especially since this is immediately bookended with Nicky telling Neil that playing sports isn't a personality.

Ken was sick of George’s bullshit and figured he might as well take stuff that could help him in the long run. He wasn’t going to leave this company empty handed and knew his days were numbered. He had put his 2 weeks err rather his 5 months in. The plan was he would help look for a replacement and during the transition period teach and show that individual the ropes to becoming a successful marketing Vice President. He figured this would buy him some time while he looked for a new gig. But as of recent he heard rumblings on George wanting to just outright get rid of him in the coming days. Ken wasn’t surprised, this was usually how George operated. He hires you, drives you nuts, and when you resign he becomes blank faced. His face basically becomes shocked pikachu.
The thing with George is he would drive you nuts with his indecisiveness and randomness of shifting projects. There was never a clear roadmap it was just madness all over the place. This would eventually lead to anyone working with him to quit from sheer frustration. But the thing with George was that once you quit he felt betrayed. As Kevin would say “George drives everyone away and when they leave he gets such a hard on over them and ends up baffled why they left”.
Ken went up to Baggy, the email marketing manager. “Hey Baggy I need you to get me the entire marketing email list in a CSV file.”
Baggy looked up from his screen confused. “Wait what Ken? That’s illegal and pretty sure a fireable offense bro”.
“Baggy, I commend you to give me that email list, I don’t give a fuck just give it to me and send it to my personal email.”
“But bro th—“
“I DON’T CARE BAGGY, just do it and keep your mouth shut.”
“Fine, fine, your Gmail account right?”
“Yeah that one, or even better just drop it in the share and I’ll grab the files myself.”
Ken figured if he was gonna get tossed out he might as well get tossed out with the complete email list that he helped grow over the years, heck he could take to his next marketing venture. Hey better than starting at zero.

Terminator 2 and Why the Summer of 1991 Was a Great Time for Movies
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
For more than a minute there, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s metallic exoskeleton appeared unstoppable. With a glowing red-eye that became the stuff of nightmares and then action figures (we’re serious), the T-800 entered the ‘90s like a wrecking ball. No matter what they threw at him, and no matter what obstacles got in his way, the cyborg did not pause, it did not rest, and it seemed to be everywhere.
Ironically, this also applied to more than just the Terminator’s onscreen antics. In the summer of 1991, Terminator 2: Judgment Day was an indestructible money-sucking machine that conquered the box office four weekends in a row in July, and then miraculously hung on to its boffo target long enough to also become the number one movie in America for a weekend in September.
It was an R-rated entertainment that was technically a sequel, yet also a standalone science fiction thriller that captured the imagination of adults as readily as teenagers. In other words, you could say they don’t make them quite like that anymore. And when looking back 30 years on to the era that birthed director James Cameron’s action masterpiece, I cannot help but somewhat envy the year’s wider definition of “summer movie entertainment” (or “content” in the modern parlance).
To be sure, Terminator 2 was king for a reason. Seven years after the release of the original sci-fi thriller, which made Cameron a go-to genre director, T2 hit audiences like a ton of bricks, with many to this day considering it superior to its predecessor. Here was a movie which pivoted away from Linda Hamilton’s scared survivor in The Terminator and ran toward her embodying a shotgun-wielding matriarch who became an instant feminist icon. The movie was also a sincere spectacle for an audience unaccustomed to computer imagery; Cameron blended groundbreaking CGI with in-camera stunts in a way that is still nifty three decades on.
In retrospect, T2 was both a harbinger for things to come—a sequel borne out of a brand name and nascent special effects—as well as a monument to an impulse that has gone largely extinct in Hollywood: to push the envelope in unexpected directions.
Terminator 2 might’ve been the unrivaled box office champ in summer ‘91, earning $204 million, but the same summer also saw the releases of Thelma & Louise, City Slickers, Boyz n the Hood, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, What About Bob?, Jungle Fever, Point Break, Backdraft, and The Rocketeer. Each multiplex was a rich ecosystem of competing genres, niches, and audience interests. And with the exception of The Rocketeer, every single one of those aforementioned films was a major box office hit, with nearly all of them going on to have legacies ranging from the profound to the cult.
For instance, consider Thelma & Louise, the R-rated buddy film about two women (Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon) who go on a road trip-turned-crime spree. It opened in fourth place that Memorial Day weekend, grossing less than Hudson Hawk in the same frame. The picture never topped the box office charts once, but it was able to do steady business the entire summer, nearly tripling its $16.5 million budget. On those meager week-to-week numbers, it even found a large enough audience to enter the zeitgeist and become a significant cinematic touchstone for a generation of audiences who embraced a fable where women kill an abuser and refuse to bend to society’s demands. It also made Brad Pitt an instant movie star, despite being in a third billed part.
Thelma & Louise was able to carve that legacy despite being dwarfed by the likes of T2 throughout the summer, and before Arnold there was City Slickers, which is itself one of Billy Crystal’s best comedies—this one about middle-aged New Yorkers playing cowboys. City Slickers, in turn, became an Oscar-winning crowd-pleaser despite spending most of its release in the shadow of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which was the second biggest blockbuster of the year. And for all its faults, the Kevin Costner Robin Hood is still fondly remembered as a grand adventure by millennials of a certain age range, despite it never setting up a sequel, prequel, or expanded universe. It even had an unusually dark soul for a blockbuster romp meant for the whole family.
These are just a handful of examples of what was then considered box office material. Perhaps most striking though is John Singleton’s groundbreaking Boyz n the Hood, which became a surprise hit when it opened in second place among original releases on July 12 (behind Terminator 2). It went on to be one of the 20 highest grossing movies of the year. Today, its bittersweet subject matter about young Black men growing up in South Central would instantly consign the film to streaming or being placed in an arthouse box, which would mean it’d need to premiere at Sundance or several other high-profile film festivals in order to secure distribution and an awards campaign that could draw speciality audiences’ attention. In the ‘90s, Columbia Pictures bought Singleton’s script while he was still in school.
When looking at this three decades later, it would be too easy to fall into golden age thinking or pretend things were strictly better “back then.” Nostalgia is a dangerous delusion, especially for an era you weren’t really there for (I was technically around in ’91, but too young to see The Rocketeer, much less Terminator 2). And yet, when studying recent anniversaries from that era, I’m struck by the variety of stories being told. There’s a genuine sense of diversity, in the classical sense, with numerous audiences, age ranges, and even genres being serviced. Yes, there are the big action spectacles, but there are also adult-skewing thrillers, small budgeted Black dramas selling a significant amount of tickets, and even the long-lost romantic comedy.
Of course nowadays, the industry and (more crucially) audiences are striving to see a greater sense of inclusivity and ethnic diversity be embraced by talent in front of and behind the camera. The success of Singleton’s Boyz is remarkable, and in the same summer as one of Spike Lee’s best films, Jungle Fever, no less. Kathryn Bigelow, meanwhile, showed up her then-newly ex-husband James Cameron by helming one of the brawniest action movies ever made, Point Break. However, almost every other box office draw and mainstream Hollywood release in ’91 was directed by a white man, and starred nearly all-white faces.
In many ways, the opportunities for who gets to tell what stories have and are continuing to dramatically improve. But when it comes to what kind of stories the culture at large wants to see, the options appear to be shrinking by the day. There is a greater diversity of voices in front of and behind the cameras, particularly in the niche-focused market of streaming where films come and vanish into the aether every week. But unless your picture stars someone wearing a cape, or features the word “Fast” and/or “Jurassic” in the title, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get audiences to show up—which in turn limits our options every summer as studios seek safer bets that open big and earn most of their mint in the first weekend.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
In a recent Indie Film Hustle podcast, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves director Kevin Reynolds talked about how the attitude of the industry has changed, then and now.
“In the ‘90s, the studios were healthy, we were still shooting on film,” Reynolds said. “People saw it as a golden time, anything was possible. There’s a lot of fear now. There’s a lot of fear because things are not as lucrative as they once were. Sadly, I think theatrical cinema is dying. You can pretend that it’s not, God bless Chris Nolan and his adherence to film as a medium, real film. But it’s going away, the digital age is here.”
And the way corporate-owned companies that are merging into ever greater oligarchal behemoths have reacted to that is to rely increasingly on preexisting material, previously established brands, and familiar content until that’s all there is.
Ignoring the two most recent summers, which have been impacted by the pandemic, the last “normal” summer at the box office was 2019. In that season, nine of the top 10 highest grossing pictures were sequels, spinoffs, remakes, or video game adaptations, including Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Hobbs And Shaw, and Detective Pikachu. Several were actually remakes of ‘90s movies—The Lion King and Aladdin—and the one original film to just barely crack the top 10 only got a Hollywood budget and eight-figure marketing campaign because of the legacy of its middle-aged director: Quentin Tarantino.
When you widen the prism for the whole year of 2019, the only other film among the year’s top 20 highest earners that isn’t a sequel, Marvel movie, or remake is Jordan Peele’s Us.
The conventional wisdom is that nothing but franchises will make money now, and whether true or not that fear makes the chance for something as diverse as the summer of 1991 ever coming to mainstream multiplexes again remote.
Considering all of that on Terminator 2’s 30th anniversary is ironic since that movie itself is a sequel, and one which Hollywood returns to time and again, hoping to draw yet more blood from the stone. However, Cameron tellingly knew when to stop. He made a sequel that stunned the industry and finished his story, then walked away, spending the rest of the decade preparing more original projects that linger in the culture decades later: True Lies and a little movie called Titanic. Between film and television, the industry has meanwhile produced five different versions of “Terminator 3,” with none of them having a residual impact after opening weekend or season 1.
But then that’s also the danger of only looking to the past: You never see the risk of diminishing returns in old things, especially while in the absence of anything new.

The Bet pt. 2
"You know where he is?"
"He should be in his room."
"OK." Stuart said. "Thanks bro."
"No problem, bro!" Bob giggled and went on his merry way.
"Dave, huh?" Stuart said. "He should have plenty of ideas." He grinned to himself.
'God dammit.' The older brother thought, knowing of the dangers.
(later)
The two brothers were in front of Dave's door and knocked. A few moments later, it opened.
"Hey Stuart." Dave greeted his slightly younger brother. His eyes fell on Kevin. "….Kevin?"
"Hey Dave."
"…Hey."
Dave snickered. "Uh, what up with the dress, Kev?"
"He lost to me in Smash Bros and now he's my slave for seven days."
"Wow." Dave said. "How the mighty have fallen."
"Shut up!"
Dave laughed at the outburst. "So, what brings you guys here?" The short, two eyed Minion asked. "Other than showing me how hot Kevin is in that dress." Kevin's face instantly became red.
"I was wondering what different things I could get him to do since he's my temporary slave." Stuart explained. "As weird as it may sound, I can't think of anything."
"Hmm..." Dave wondered. "I have suggestions. Follow me." Stuart walked in his room. Their older brother tried to as well but was shoved back out.
"What the hell? Let me through."
"No." Dave said. "You can't know of these ideas yet." His lips curved into a devious smile. "Let them be a surprise."
Kevin growled in response, but reluctantly obeyed.
(later)
"So, what were the suggestions?" Kevin asked. He really didn't want to know, but something in his gut told him he had to.
"You can't know." The one eyed Minion said. "They're secret.
"Just tell me!"
"No." Stuart said. "You'll have to wait."
Kevin growled yet again. The younger brother yawned. "Anyways, it's getting late. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Can I at least take this stupid outfit off while you're asleep?"
"You may." He said. "New rule: You have to wear the outfit for as long as I'm awake. When I want to sleep, then you may take it off and wear whatever you want."
"Thank you for granting that."
"No problem." He yawned again. "Just remember when you wake up, you put the outfit back on."
Kevin sighed. "…Fine."
"Good boy." Stuart patted Kevin on the head.
"Don't touch me." Kevin warned.
"Ooh, someone's grouchy." Stuart teased. "You should probably go to sleep too."
"Yeah, maybe I'll wake up from this nightmare."
"Aw, don't be like that." He said. "There's some good in this."
"Like what?"
"You'll see tomorrow." Stuart said, opening the door that leads to his room. "Good night, buddy."
"Good night." Kevin said. He walked a few doors down and opened his door. Once inside, he quickly removed everything, put on his favorite blue Pikachu T-shirt and a pair of blue boxers with a thunderbolt pattern. After doing so, he flopped onto his soft bed. Removing his goggles and setting them on his night stand, he turned off the light and fell asleep quickly, knowing he has a long day tomorrow.

Tuesday's Morning Email: Congressional Budget Office Gives Low Marks To Ryan Plan
TOP STORIES
(And want to get The Morning Email each weekday? Sign up here.)
NOTE TO MORNING EMAIL READERS: Lauren Weber is on vacation this week. While she’s away Eat The Press Editor Jason Linkins and HuffPost Hill Editor Eliot Nelson will be taking over Morning Email duties, and attempting to follow Lauren’s complicated sleep patterns. Wish us luck, guys!
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE GIVES RYAN PLAN HARSH VERDICT Paul Ryan called his Obamacare alternative plan an “act of mercy,” but mercy me! The Congressional Budget Office rendered a grade on the American Health Care Act and it was not good: projecting that 24 million Americans could lose their health care. In one notable case of sticker shock, the CBO projected that a “single 64-year-old who makes $26,500, for example, could face a 700 percent jump in premiums (from $1,700 now to $14,600 under the GOP bill).” [HuffPost]
AND THE WHITE HOUSE’S OWN INTERNAL PROJECTIONS ARE WORSE The late breaking news was that the White House was even less bullish on the Ryan plan than the CBO was. According to internal documents obtained by Politico, “The executive branch analysis forecast that 26 million people would lose coverage over the next decade, versus the 24 million CBO estimate — a finding that undermines White House efforts to discredit the forecasts from the nonpartisan CBO.”  [Politico]
SO DID STEVE BANNON ORDER THE CODE RED AGAINST PAUL RYAN? With the House Speaker committed to this plan, we’ve had the CBO return the low grade that was widely predicted. But then the White House’s even more downcast assessment is leaked to Politico. And the same night, Breitbart News leaks embarrassing audio of Ryan on a campaign conference call, vowing “I am not going to defend Donald Trump ― not now and not in the future.” Mother Jones’ Kevin Drum wonders if it’s not “a coordinated effort to doom Ryan’s bill and wreck his reputation with his own caucus.”  [Mother Jones]
REPORTERS TRAVELING TO TURKEY GET A BIG SURPRISE Lured to Ankara on the promise of a meeting with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a group of reporters instead find themselves as the audience to an “energetic” conspiracy theorist. The Huffington Post’s own Jessica Schulberg made the trip, and has the story of what happened next. [HuffPost]
MARC MUKASEY IS ON THE SHORT LIST TO SUCCEED PREET BHARARA That means the U.S. Attorney who was investigating Fox News might be replaced by one of the lawyers who advised Roger Ailes during his sexual harrassment flap. [Jezebel]
JARED KUSHNER’S FAMILY SET TO RAKE IN $400 WINDFALL ON TOWER DEAL The terms of the transaction, with a “prominent Chinese company” with “murky links to the Chinese power structure” that “have raised national security concerns,” have been deemed “unusually favorable” to Trump’s son-in-law by real estate experts. [Bloomberg]
THE UNITED KINGDOM’S UNION MAY GET JACKED The consequences of Brexit continue to pile up, as Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon calls for a new Scottish independence referendum for late 2018-early 2019. [Reuters]
STOP AND FRISK SHAKEDOWN A Miami police officer has been arrested for allegedly pulling people over and pocketing their cash. Things went awry after he tried it on the undercover detective in charge of the sting operation to catch him, police said. [HuffPost]
CONGRESS MULLS LIFTING RESTRICTIONS ON GUN SILENCERS Proponents say that it’s about protecting those who own guns, and the criminals that could benefit from an expanded market might be a little too inclined to agree. [HuffPost]
WHAT’S BREWING
SILICON VALLEY SCHOOLTEACHERS READY TO TEACH ABOUT INCOME INEQUALITY They’re getting solid first-hand knowledge, seeing as how none of them can apparently afford to live there. [Citylab]
PLEASE STOP PROMOTING A ‘BLUE STATE SECESSION’ Here are all the reasons it’s a stupid idea that needs to be tossed in the garbage. [The Concourse]
RACHEL MADDOW CREATED A RATINGS COUP WITH ONE EASY STEP She stopped covering Donald Trump’s tweets in the same lame way everyone else was. [HuffPost]
GLAMOUROUS INDIE ROCK AND ROLL An inside look at how up-and-coming bands at America’s biggest music festival make ends meet following their dreams. [Noisey]
DO YOU LIKE SHORT STORIES? Here’s “Cormac McCarthy Rents ‘Tin Cup’ From A Blockbuster Video,” by Patrick Coyne. [Splitsider] 
AND IT’S OVER! “The Bachelor,” that is. The hit show’s latest contestant, Nick Viall, popped the question to Vanessa Grimaldi, and the only thing left to do is wait for the next edition of HuffPost podcast “Here To Make Friends” to get closure [HuffPost]
