Take a break (evan peters) x (fem!reader)

WARNINGS : mentions of dahmer the show

Evan recently took up the offer of being in a new Netflix production directed by Ryan Murphy. But it wasn’t a normal fictional character, it is a real-life monster. Jeffrey Dahmer, an evil creature that made people suffer for his benefit. You tried talking this out with Evan as he asked you what you thought of his new role, and to say the least, you weren’t happy about it. You already have seen what his previous American horror story role did to him, he immersed himself in the role too much and he's going to do it again. The previous character in Cult was a shitty person but he was fictional, his new role isn’t. It’s going to be 10 times harder as he did way worse things and he did exist. Evan was a method actor, meaning he would go to long lengths to embody his characters. He would watch documentaries, get into the mindset of the character, he becomes the character.

It was scary to see the process of him starting to sink. During the first few weeks of the new series, all you’d see him watch or do all involved Jeffery Dahmer. You could just see his smile slowly fade away, but thankfully the series was coming to an end. Giving him a chance to rest and take another much-needed break. Today was the last week of the filming, and you have decided to take care of Evan tonight.

You went and prepared all the ingredients to make his favourite dish, pasta. 9.33 pm, he’s not coming back in another hour; gives you time to cook it. You were thinking that maybe you could help him unwind for the night, watch a movie while eating something that would not take effort. While you were almost done cooking the pasta, you heard the front door opening and footsteps behind you. Looking back you saw a very exhausted Evan, making you frown. He still had some residue of makeup left and his hair was just a blob of mess.

“ Hey love, dinner is almost ready “

“ I don’t feel like eating, sorry “

Offing the stove fire and abandoning the food, you walked over to his side. Wrapping your arms around his neck, he fell into you and broke. You could hear his muffled sobs, as his beautiful face got covered by ugly tears. Patting his back to assure him he had someone.

“ Bad day? “ you whispered

Feeling him nod against your shoulder, getting the hint that he doesn't want to talk.

“ Hang in there, just a couple more days“ you leaned in, kissing him on his temple. As you leaned in to kiss him, you smelled his hair and its stank of gel and hair cosmetics.

“ Mhm you smell bad, you need a bath. Let’s go “ you chuckled softly

Pulling his arm, you dragged him into the bathroom. Closing the toilet lid, you made him sit on it while you got ready a bubble bath for him. The warm water came out from the faucet while you were pouring some soap in, making it bubble up. Once the bath was made, you wanted to keep the food in a container until you felt a tug.

“ Have a bath with me “ Evan whined

“ Alright big baby “

Stripping off all your clothes, Evan stepped in first. Cooing at the feeling of the warm water, you then stepped in next; sitting in between his legs. Closing your eyes as the feeling of a nice warm bath soothed both of you. You slightly moved to face Evan but were careful not to spill the bubbly water out. Breaking the silence you asked if he wanted to talk about his day, and he groaned in response.

“ I’ll take that as a no “

“ It’s just… hard, his mindset is just so unbelievably dark. Also whenever I read the script, I just think about all the real people who had to experience and suffer through it; the trauma that had affected them. Sometimes this role… keeps me up at night, not letting me sleep.“

You could tell this role is taking a big toll on Evan, and it’s way worse than his Kai character. He puts most of his time studying about him and trying to make himself into him. Even if you told him he needed a break, he would always reject that idea and said he just needed 5 more minutes. But that 5 minutes turned into the whole day. So right now you’re going to suggest something you know he won’t like.

“ Evan I think you need another break, this isn’t good for you “

“ I can’t “ a tear slipped out of his eye and grabbing his face, you cupped it and made him face you.

“ Oh Evan, Ryan isn’t forcing you to do any of these roles. You have a say in this as well, remember that you can always say no. I know you feel like you owe something to Ryan as he made you famous but you proved that you didn’t need him. You won multiple awards in movies that didn’t involve Ryan. He even respected you for taking a break previously, and I think that respect isn’t going to disappear. “

Lightly you placed a kiss on his lips, bringing him into a hug as you sat on his lap. Messing and massaging his blonde hair while he just laid his chin onto your shoulder.

“ I don’t want to tell you what to do love, but it just hurts to see you struggle like this. “ you said as you turned his head to face you, swiping a tear that had fallen out from his face.

“ I hope you know how grateful I am for you and how much I love you. I feel like I don’t tell you that enough, and I want you to know that without you I really don’t know what to do. As cheesy as that sounds, it’s true. “

“ Mhm I think I know a bit of how much you love me “ you joked

“ Hey, I’m serious y/n. I want you to know “

“ Action speaks louder than words, “ you said while pointing to your lips

Evan jokily rolled his eyes, giving a warm loving kiss. You sat there drawing circles on his back as Evan began to fall asleep on your shoulder due to his tiring day.

ommmg can you write something with reader doing evan skincare and haircare routine ? like her helping him take care of himself after he complains about how fast is started to aged

skincare and giggles

She hears him rummaging through the bathroom cabinet’s from down the hall where she lounges. She’s scrunched up against the arm of the couch that resides in his dimly lit office.

Y/n wondered up there a few hours ago as he read some scripts and started doing some research for the next mini series he was starring in. Ah, thank you Ryan Murphy, but this ones got Evan even more excited than usual because his character finally gets a happy ending.

She paused for a moment then looked back down at her sketchbook to resume her doodles, ‘bonk’ she heard him rummage again, ‘dink’ and again. She paused and perked her head up and looked around the room in confusion.

What the..

‘Bong’ again, she huffed and chucked her sketchbook to the side, groaning as she unfolded herself from the comfort of the couch that sank her body into the warmth. It was calling for her to come back, just five more minuets, but she ignored it.

He froze and slowly stood up straight. His tight lipped smile made her clear her throat as he slowly turned his body to face her causing her to bite her tongue from saying anything that would make him embarrassed. She knows how he gets.

“Hi…” he trails.

“Hi, babe. What are you doing?” She smiles. Evan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath making y/n press her lips together as she looks behind his shoulder at the open cabinet. “I was waiting for you to come back, you left me for like a half hour.” She finally lets herself giggle.

“Don’t laugh” he whines, “I’m so annoyed right now.” He huffs out.

“Why?”

“Because my character is like, ten years younger than I am and I need to look… snacked, like you always say.” He rolls his eyes in defeat.

She can’t help it when she snorts out, she heaves as her laughter bounces off the walls. Evan grains loudly and pouts from above her and she shakes her head. “I- I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m not laughing at you.” She chokes out.

“Yea, yeah whatever.” He grained, throwing his head back and sighing dramatically as she places her hands on his chest. “Will you just help me now since you’re here.”

Evan moved to the side and points at her skincare section, "What the hell do you even need all of this shit for anyway?"

Y/n turns up het nose at him and crosses her arms over her chest in playful resentment, "How dare you call my skincare shit. For your information, all of that stuff is what helps keep be looking beautiful.... snatched." she pressed making his eyes widen as he shakes his head. "Not a nice way to to get me to help, now is it?"she questions.

Evan runs his hand over his fave before stepping closer to her and kissing her bare shoulder, she inhales sharply making him smile smugly against her skin as he pulls away. "Sorry." he hums. "I promise I won't call your skincare shit." he muses.

"Good."

"Does that mean you'll help me start a skincare routine?"

"Yes." she hums. "Now, sit."

Evan looks at her in confusion as she motions for him to take a seat on the toilet lid. He follows her instructions as she snaps her fingers at him and she gives him one of those smiles. Those 'I know something you don't' smile.

"We can go shop for you tomorrow since it's late. But I got this new face mask that I'm dying to try. We can both use it!" she says giddily causing him to groan.

"Y/n I don't think I need that." he lifts his hand up at her defensively as she pulls out the face mask jar.

"Let's just see! I mean, you were going through my stuff, which I don't mind, so here. Come on, baby! It will be fun." she gushes.

"Will it hurt?"

"It's going to burn" she says seriously as she takes a big scoop and slathers his cheeks with it causing him to flinch.

"What?!" he yells.

Evan peaks his eye open as he hears her giggle, shaking her head at him as his shoulders fall in defeat. "Just kidding." She laughs. "Oh man, you should have seen your face." she teases making him roll his eyes and poke her side causing her to jilt before she yanks at his hair playfully with her free hand.

"Ow!" he whines.

"Shh. I'm concentrating." she snaps, rubbing her fingers against his skin.

Little does Evan know that his face mask will soon harden so much he won't be able to move his face muscles for a whole half hour. This makes y/n giggle.

Evan looks at her with skeptical eyes, causing her to giggle even more and he opens his mouth to complain but he yelps as he struggles to open it.

STATION 19 HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!

I am BEGGING every single one of you on this app to help me and the rest of the fans save this show. It has one of the few wlw couples remaining on television for one thing, and for another the cancellation makes no sense.

It is ABC's top show, it outperformed Grey's Anatomy (their other main show), they hired new show runners, they moved to a new studio, it was their top-rated scripted drama, and it pulls in millions of views each week despite the lack of promotion. The cancellation makes no sense, and a lot of us suspect it has to do with the actors and writers being on strike and a deal being struck with Ryan Murphy about 9-1-1, which is hella unfair if you ask me. The two shows can coexist, just like Good Doctor and Grey's Anatomy do.

Not to mention they cut it down from its normal episode count to ten episodes, and they expect to be able to wrap everything up within those ten episodes?! No, no, no!! Maya and Carina (the wlw couple) have finally gotten to a good place and we're about to finally start their journey on having a baby after two seasons of them teasing us and us waiting for it, and they just up and cancel it.

And that's not all. The representation on this show was astounding. They had members of the LGBTQIA+ community, they had dealt with topics like racism, COVID, misogyny, SA, mental health, alcoholism, and so much more. This show is diverse, interesting, and definitely SHOULD NOT be ending after only seven seasons.

Plus, they dropped this on the cast and crew with no warning. As in, they found out only briefly before us fans did. If that isn't shady, I don't know what is. They deserve so much better, and so do we.

So I am asking for your help. I don't care if you are a fan or not, I am pleading and imploring you guys to help. All you have to do is sign. Sign the petition, that's all I'm asking. Please. Please. Please. Much of the cast and crew have signed it, showing they are in favor of saving their show after having this news dropped on them like a bomb.

If you're on twitter, please please please use the #DoNotCancelStation19 and #SaveStation19 and help us save our beloved wee woo show.

Help me, the fandom, the cast, the crew, everyone who loves this show, save it. This cancellation is unjust, and we all deserve so much fucking better than this.

Sorry if I'm too curious, but what you thought about Tim during these years? Because I see so many people wanting him back and then when I see LS comments I'm like🤢

Ah, Tim. Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim.

Tim suffers from what I like to call Mediocre White Man Syndrome. This is a condition that is defined by being a white man in Hollywood who has very little talent on his own, but will get extremely far in the industry by surrounding himself with exponentially more talented and creative writers whose success is then projected onto him by association. But you see, the problem with Mediocre White Man Syndrome is that said mediocre white man has to be put into a position where he can no longer fall back on the work of others to be revealed for his true self. Which is where the OG vs. LS comparison helps.

OG vs. LS is the perfect example of how a showrunner can be an absolutely terrible, talentless hack, but if surrounded by good enough people the end result will still be good enough to mask just how bad the problem is. On OG, Tim was working with a team of excellent writers and storytellers who had the ability to prop him up and smooth the edges of his bad ideas and/or steer him in better directions. On LS, he doesn't have the same cover and the difference is...stark.

But since I don't expect you to just accept this at face value, I have receipts. Subtitled: don't ever trust a bitch who can't write his own shit.

On OG, in the 5 seasons during which he was a showrunner, Tim wrote 8 episodes. Of those, all but one were co-written with at least one other writer (3 were in season 1 and were co-written with both Ryan Murphy AND Brad Falchuk). The only episode for which he has solo writing credit is the S2 finale which, as much as I can admit I love it, has some big pacing issues resulting from the fact that the main plot was started in the previous episode, Tim finished it in the first 20 minutes, and then had to fill dead air for the whole second half. [By comparison, the last episode Tim wrote for OG was 5x1, which he co-wrote with Juan Carlos Coto, and honestly imo you can tell who wrote what parts of the episode just by the stylistic differences and it's...not a good look for Tim (I'll give you a hint, the parts of the episode that truly jumped the shark? Tim)].

On LS, which is currently only 3 episodes into its fourth season, Tim has already written 10 episodes, all co-written, primarily season openers and finales.

Also on LS, Tim has primary creative control. Everything is his idea. No one is there to tell him no. When he says that he thinks that people being happy in relationships is "boring"? No one gets to be happy because he invents random drama for no reason. When he says that Carlos is going to be secretly married despite the fact that it does not match anything from S1 at all? Who cares, it's his world and we are subject to his whims. On OG, despite being showrunner, that wasn't the case. For example, things that were Tim's idea on OG: everything with Taylor (because he has some weird reporter fetish), the blackout arc. He also regularly spoke without planning anything at all and it's clear when you compare the things he said were likely to happen vs. what actually ended up on screen that although he may have signed off, the ideas were not his (hello, the majority of S4 and Eddie's trauma recovery arc in S5). Things that were other people's ideas/responsibilities: the will/guardianship situation, the tsunami arc, Buck Begins, etc.

If you want to dig deeper, on OG, 8/10 of the top 10 episodes (out of 87) were written by just 3 writers: Kristen Reidel (4), Juan Carlos Coto (2), Andrew Meyers (2) [the last two were written by writers who are no longer on the show]. Kristen is now the showrunner, and JCC, Andrew, and Lyndsey Beaulieu (who are also EPs) are clearly the core writing team - strong, stable, and consistent. Now, I have critiques of Kristen: primarily her copaganda (which has to do with personal preference) and her pacing (a more objective critique). But I have the same critiques of Tim (and much more), and at least Kristen has proven that she can write a fucking exceptional story on her own (hello? Fight or Flight? Athena Begins? Kids Today? Awful People?). And when you look at the series overall by the numbers? The top 50 OG eps (again, out of 87) are rated 8/10 or higher (and more than half of those are from writers who make up the core team now, including Kristen). For LS, that's only 15/ 45 (and there's no LS ep rated higher than 8.7). And those discrepancies have to do with the quality of the writing and the storytelling (of which Tim has been doing much more on LS than he did on OG, to LS's detriment).

Anyway, that's my spicy take of the night. The things on OG that were actually Tim's idea (like all the Taylor) were some of my least favorite parts of the show and the core things that I love about the show are things that other people were/are responsible for. And to be perfectly blunt, given his storytelling on LS, I am so happy that he no longer has control over OG (or anything to do with Buddie).

Mediocre White Man Syndrome. A Hollywood Staple.

Hi! Anon of the rant.

About this https://www.tumblr.com/zeglythofficial/742759379451953152/some-tea-z-the-discourse-on-her-man-has?source=share

I never thought RZ was that kind of person!

But appearances can be deceiving. Based on everything I've seen, I truly feel sorry for her and her future. And I hope from the bottom of my heart that she stays far away from TB as possible.

If you want to boost your boyfriend's doomed career, do it using JR's merits, but he doesn't, right?

She could have been a big star on her own, but she chose the stupidest path, partnering with someone who clearly doesn't have the capacity to even pursue a solo career without the support of her girlfriend.

It's sad to see so much promising future being thrown away. Because she actually had a chance of reaching maximum level.

Among all of them, the only one (apparently) with the right choices is TB, congratulations to him.

I'm not a zeglyth shipper, I liked their dynamic and thought it was genuine. But I was wrong.

I really hope she stops this LG and Sejanus thing. For someone who claims to be a fan of the story and the character, doing something like this is terrible.

But, she is not against using someone she called a friend until recently, story characters are the least of it.

I don’t think she is really that tbh!

1. That post was poorly written…almost on purpose.

2. We must remember that we can see zeglyth with our own eyes as well regardless of what that anon says. The BTS clips, the interviews, red carpets etc wasn’t all a lie. It’s very clear to me that Zeglyth are genuine friends. The way they touch tells me that. The way he defended her told me that. Keep in mind that R has been singing T praises way before the movie was released.

3. I do think they were telling the truth about R liking the online attention she gets from T and Zeglyth though. That’s not a lie but to say she’s only using him for that? No, I don’t believe that. She’s caught off guard by their popularity. It probably sucks that her bf isn’t well loved but her friend is. The most liked post on her IG is T’s bday post. I think it hurts her a lot to see her bf will never get that kind of attention so she’s showing him down our throats.

4. R and J will never be a power couple. It’s laughable to think about. If R and her team truly think that, they are way out of touch with her fanbase. We don’t care about J. We don’t like him. We never will. It’s a tough pill to swallow for R but she has way more chemistry with T. She knows that too which is why she’s fighting hard to promote J and Sejanus.

5. R will regret trying to boost J’s career when they break up. It will be a nasty thing to witness. I hope she braces herself for that because and I’m not saying this to be mean but it will be deserved imo. No woman should help a man’s career. He’s a man, let him do it himself.

6. This is a bad look on R. She needs to cater to her neutral fans! She has fans that don’t care about T, J, Zeglyth, THG, they follow her for her projects and her career, nor relationship drama. Did she forget that?

Overall, R/J are not a power couple, T will be successful and J’s career launch won’t go anywhere. Wasn’t TBOSAS suppose to help launch J’s career? It didn’t and Ryan Murphy is a hit or miss right now. Won’t be surprised if J’s career continues to flop.

Oh shut the fuck up October 28th 2019 was the day all your disability activist friends reblogged posts vowing to instantly block anyone who put anything to do with the series on their dashboard and you would go into the main tags to get away from that and there would be a million suicide baitors and harassment campaigns and endless whining about the shows existence and people calling for Medrano's immediate death waiting for you and when it was the A24 greenlight announcement it was the same thing only calling for her to be fired, and when Jamie Lee Curtis did her shout out tweet and then at least one 21 year old tenderqueer with an @ about how they want to fuck slasher villains would be in her replies trying to talk down to and harass Jamie and then people you thought were your friends start harassing you for posting one Hazbin sketch in an adult queer server because they don't like it and you'll be banned if you post about it again, and you try to start telling them what happened to even Jamie for talking about it, just to prove a point, and then suddenly it's "I don't care what Jamie Lee Curtis has to say" even though all they had to do to see how volatile the topic was, was to just look and all the deleted threads and arguments taking place below the actual tweet to know the actual tweet wasn't the point, and you were all so happy be discussing Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens and Everything Everywhere All At Once sometime before that. And then all your queer adult friends end up banning you for "bullying".

Yeah, I'm saying nothings been the same since 2019 when the pilot came out, have you been living under a rock or what? Things are just as fucked now as they were then, if not more so.

And OP can shut the fuck up about radiodust too. The only thing they have half a point about is charlastor and that's only because of what also happened on Viv's birthday.

But most recently, it's been obnoxious sex repulsed aroace nerd prudes who say shit like "lads" and "friendo" enjoying getting a sense of popularity and power and ownership over a certain character in the fandom enough to go mad and start bullying not only allos but questioning aro/ace people as well as aro/ace children (who shouldn't even be in the fandom) for wanting to possibility maybe smooch The Radio Demon on the lips or liking the fact he actually has his own Valentines merch or just wanting him to have any kind of romantic merch at all or just pointing out the fact that he's sexy because he is objectively Sexy.

Jesus Fucking Christ ...

“You’re going after him.”

Mike almost couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of his mouth as he sat in Benson’s apartment, surrounded by the paraphernalia of her family life. No one had the balls to take on McGrath, but then again when he looked at Benson, she didn’t need them. He knew if they played this wrong this was career suicide for all of them, he was prepared to put everything on the line for you. However these two, Benson and Murphy, they didn’t know you. They didn’t know that you liked to sleep curled up in his arms because it made you feel safe, didn’t know that the left side of your mouth quirked up when you were trying to hide a smile, they didn’t know anything about you but here they were still going to bat for you because truly they believed it was the right thing to do.

“We are.” Benson confirmed before clasping her hands together. “But it’s complicated, everything she told you about the assault…”

“There’s no evidence.” Mike said, filling in the blanks. “Back then I should have realised, I saw the dress and…” He sucked in a deep breath trying to steady the tremble in his voice. It weighted on him that he had missed the signs, it left a bitterness on his tongue. “… it’s long gone in a landfill somewhere.”

“I’ve got Muncy trying to chase down the security footage from that night.” Benson told him.

Mike sagged back in the chair, raising his eyes to the ceiling.

“But three years is a long shot.”

He was a pragmatist at heart. What were the chances of someone keeping something like that? McGrath had probably taken care of it the morning after, brushed it under the rug like he did everything else.

“Do you think she’s strong enough for this?” Murphy asked him, leaning forward. “We’re gonna have a hell of a fight on our hands and when this comes out, it drags out everything. Your relationship will be in the spot light, the defence will claim it’s a pattern of behaviour, she’s ambitious, trying to climb the ladder…”

The look Mike gave the other man was murderous. To his credit Murphy didn’t flinch, he maintained eye contact before Mike spoke.

“We were going to get married in the fall after she passed her Sergeant’s exam.” Mike told Murphy, his heart splitting in two as he remembered the ring you used to wear on a chain around your neck. “It’s not a pattern of behaviour, we fell in love.” His voice was rough as he stared down at his hand, at the space where he had once imagined his own wedding ring would reside. He sighed. “I don’t know if she’s strong enough to do this. Everything he has done has been to break her and I don’t know how much more she can take.”

“Do you have somewhere safe for her to go once we extract her?” Benson asked him. “Somewhere she feels safe? Somewhere McGrath won’t be able to find her?”

Mike thought back to his original plan tonight. The two of you driving off into the sunset and all the way to L.A.

“Yea.” He said, thinking back to the plans he’d made with Chris Alonso. “We have friends who are willing to help.”

“With the evidence that she has collected, we have enough to take down the First Nationals including Ryan Rousseau but what SVU is interested in is the breeding farm, getting out those trafficked girls. That’s what Rousseau’s big tour around the states has been about, we thought they were recruiting but he’s been rolling out the model for his breeding farm, inviting leaders from other branches to see it in action so he can franchise it. They pay him, he provides the girls.” Benson informed Mike, her mouth twisting in distaste.

“I have an alias.” Murphy revealed. “It’s from my time on the West Coast. I’ve set up a meeting with Rousseau, I’ve told him I’m only in town tomorrow night. He’s looking for a partner to expand into Utah and Nevada and he thinks I have the connections. From what I gather the main players will all be there from the other charters. It’s his big chance to show everyone his enterprise.”

Enterprise…

The term made Mike feel sick. Turning out girls like that, knocking them up so that could develop their own master race, making a profit from the fucking misery of it. It made Mike want to burn the whole fucking place to the ground.

“Once Declan is in and we have confirmation of the girls, we’ll be launching a joint raid with Hate Crimes on the breeding farm. We’ll be scooping every single one of them up including your girl. Here’s where it gets sticky. As soon as news of this raid hits, McGrath is going to know what’s happening and we need to move her as quickly and as quietly as possible.”

“McGrath has ties to WITSEC, so I’ve taken the liberty of transferring her over to Hate Crimes for the time being.” Murphy told Mike. “We have the budget and the space, if she wants to stay after all this my Chief is happy to make it permanent. She thinks with her knowledge of organisations like this, she’d be a good asset. Once we get her out, my Chief is going to push through the paperwork for medical leave due to her time undercover.”

“Can we trust her?” Mike asked him.

Murphy fixed him with an even gaze.

“My Chief would sooner set herself on fire than do anything to help McGrath.” Murphy told the other man. “There’s a lot of bad blood between the two of them, there always has been.”

“He’s going to be gunning for you.” Benson said quietly to Mike. “Every phone call you make, every time you step out of your apartment, he’s going to have eyes on you. Everything will have to through Velasco, there can’t be any contact between the two of you.”

He’d seen it coming. He wasn’t stupid enough to think that he’d get the happy ending he wanted but hearing the words out loud still felt like a gut punch. His chest felt tight with anguish, because you were slipping through his fingers all over again. It was the right thing to do, he knew that, but it hurt like hell.

“It’s for the best.” Benson said in low tone, her hand coming to rest on his arm.

His eyes stung as he swallowed hard past the well of emotion that ached in his throat.

“Yea.” He said, his voice raw as he stared down at his ring finger once more. “I know.”

I just need to rant for a second because I'm so aggravated. Amazon Prime is $139 annually or $14.99 monthly. It used to only be like $100 annually, or $50 annually if you were a student. I do the $139 annual charge because it's actually cheaper overall than the monthly plan. (14.99 x 12 = 179.88) A lot of services are cheaper annually. But most people see the "lower" monthly fee and figure that's more manageable.

Amazon Prime Video is one of the "perks" of having an AP premium membership. The movies and tv shows on there don't have commercials, rightfully so. However, subscribers will soon start seeing ads unless they want to pay an extra $2.99 a month. So, for those monthly folks, that's now $17.98 a month. FOR WHAT?!

"We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month*..."

That's funny because, they cancelled The Wilds after 2 seasons. (Netflix does the same thing! And Netflix just very sneakily got rid of their $7.99 a month low-res option. So now if you don't want to pay $11.99 a month which is the new "basic" plan, you have to pay for ads.)

"Access to exclusive and broad streaming video content (including Prime Video exclusives like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Citadel, The Wheel of Time, Reacher, and The Summer I Turned Pretty, as well as blockbuster movies such as Air, Creed III, Dungeons & Dragons, Candy Cane Lane with Eddie Murphy, and exclusive live sports including NFL Thursday Night Football). Access to Prime Video Channels, which provides an unmatched selection of subscription channels like Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, BET+, MGM+, ViX+, Crunchyroll, PBS KIDS, NBA League Pass, MLB.TV, and STARZ—with no extra apps to download, and no cable required. Customers only pay for the ones they want, and can cancel anytime."

All of those "channels" are extra costs. And they're saying this as if you can't just download the apps to your TV as if everyone only has firesticks or Amazon TVs these days nowadays.

And also, what if I don't like any of the original programming? What if I didn't care about football? All of the original programming I was invested in, was cancelled! I'm hoping The Summer I Turned Pretty doesn't get cancelled after the third season, but who knows?!

And what's different with APV as opposed to other streaming services is that this is just included with AP. This isn't something you can opt out of to save money. So, you may as well use it, right? What aggravates me the most is the fact that when I go to search for something, it'll either say, "Video not available, watch with [insert extra channel I'd need to pay for here], rent for $x.xx, or buy for $x.xx". I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EXTRA TO WATCH SOMETHING ON A SERVICE I ALREADY PAY FOR! NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER APP OR CHANNEL THAT ALSO REQUIRES PAYMENT.

I am so sick of having to surf between Hulu, Netflix, APV, MAX, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV, or Disney+. My Hulu is included in my Spotify because I was grandfathered into that option, so I don't pay extra for Hulu. However, I can't watch everything on Hulu unless I want to pay for the Hulu Live option which is $76.99 a month WITH ADS! So, between paying that or $10.99 for my Spotify/Hulu plan, yeah, I'm gonna keep the $10.99 a month plan. With Hulu Live, you still have the issue of not being able to watch everything you want to watch! There are still movies and TV shows that are unavailable. And I'm not talking about original content. I'm talking about if I have the urge to watch an old movie or binge an old TV show, I should be able to do that without flipping between services or having to pay extra!

I'm aware that rights and ownership come into play here. I know these services have to pay the networks to be able to stream certain shows. However, Amazon is a multi-BILLION dollar company. I think they can afford to eat the cost. They wonder why piracy is still a thing. How could it not be? All of this costs so much money and you still can't watch the things you want to watch!

People turned to streaming services so they could go ad-free and to save money on cable. Now, it all costs the same, even more, as cable depending on how many services you're paying for.

I also think APV is pulling this bullshit as a punishment for the strikes. "We lost so much money because the writers and actors were gone for so long, so now we need to make up for that lost time and also we have to cancel certain shows because they take months to put together and cost so much to film. So now we have to raise our prices so we can try to salvage what we can afford to do." That's essentially the message they're sending.

Amazon has generated approximately $553.7 billion in revenue over the last year. So, this is clearly just the usual corporate greed. Breaking even isn't an option anymore. Every quarter, every year needs to make more money than the last. Meanwhile, Amazon treats their warehouse workers like garbage. (I hope the workers keep unionizing because they literally keep the world running. We're able to get just about anything delivered same day or overnight because of the warehouse workers and drivers.)

The writers went on strike because they were being run ragged and so were the actors. When you have a speedy three month production, that means those people need to find other jobs for the other months of the year. That's why the next season would take a year to make because people found other jobs, so they needed to work around those schedules. And that's not to say some writers and actors and behind the camera workers aren't working multiple jobs at the same time, because they are, but this creates more and more time conflicts. They weren't, and probably still aren't, paying these people enough. So, now that things have been renegotiated, the streaming services are upping their fees for bullshit reasons all because they legally have to pay their workers more and god forbid they don't turn a billion dollar profit.

It costs more money to market towards new subscribers than it does to maintain the ones you already have. But who am I to say anything?

In defense of Evan Peters:

Here I am defending this poor man because he did his job as an actor.

You have Black Twitter and the victim's family going after Evan this week for winning a fucking Golden Globe. 🖕

To the victim's family: Evan Peters doesn't owe you shit. He didn't owe you a 12 minute speech while receiving his hard earned Golden Globe award. He doesn't owe you a penny of his paycheck. The fact that *some* of the victim's family are attacking Evan infuriates me. Calling Evan sick and demanding they get paid! Paid by who? Evan?! Are you fucking serious?

Family members continue repeating that they haven't received a penny from Ryan. Ryan contacted each member of the victim's families. None of them called him back. I'm sure none of them even sat down to watch the series. Why would they? Understandably. However, they would have seen the incredible love, respect and compassion each victim in the series recieved.

The loudest mouth of the victim's family is the mother of Tony Hughes. He was the sweet, kind, charming young man who was deaf. His mom called Evan sick and lambasted him for not mentioning the victims in his speech. She also wants her money.

I'm sorry your loved ones are dead.

I'm sorry they died in the hands of one of the most disgusting human beings.

I'm sorry they died in such a horrible way.

But Evan didn't kill your family members. He's just an actor doing his job. Fuck you for putting that guilt on him and demanding money.

I don't see any of the family members attacking Niecy Nash. Why is that? She's in the series too. I don't think I have to spell that one out.

The way Evan looked when he got up there to get his WELL DESERVED GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD. He looked embarrassed. He looked ashamed. He looked guilty. Ryan Murphy looked at Evan with love and pride. I think he knew what Evan felt. He was there to get his Caroll Burnett Lifetime Award but you can tell Ryan's eyes were on Evan. He was there standing by him. I can almost hear Ryan say "you deserve this award Evan. Ignore the noise".

Black Twitter and the families need to back off and leave this man alone. He doesn't owe you shit. He did his job. He got paid. He got awarded for his good job. Deal with it.

Go demand money from police in Milwaukee. They are the ones who stood by and ignored Glenda when she called them. She called and called warning them Jeffrey was hurting those men. The police ignored her.

The Milwaukee police let Jeffrey slide time and time again.

You want to call anyone sick, throw that label to the Milwaukee police. You can also demand all the money in the world from them.

I don't care if I offended anyone. 🖕

This is my blog. This is my opinion. Suck it. 🖕

Congratulations to Evan! You deserve this award and every award that goes your way. Keep your money in your pocket and ignore the bullshit noise.

i want to hear the glee thoughts and feelings

ok ur so gonna regret u asked this

So, I watched glee way back when in middle school (before I knew what a lot of the words they said meant <3 I remember watching the first time episode and having no fucking idea what was going on <3) and I really loved it!! who doesn't love a jam yknow?? and, obviously, i attached myself to Blaine very quickly because his voice is just my favorite and he puts out nothing but bangers. this last week, I've gone back and rewatched seasons 2 and 3 (because that was peak Blaine Anderson) and - because I'm the world's most needlessly passionate person - I'm getting a little fucking worked up about it !!

It will never fail to bewilder me how much of a literal SHIT HEAD Kurt Hummel was. Like, I know that we as audience members are supposed to align ourselves with him because he's an OG character and he's a queer kid just trying to be himself or whatever, but frankly it doesn't pay that much to "just be yourself" when yourself SUCKS! kurt fucking SUCKS dude. He is so whiney and so selfish and blatantly rude. and he is a shitty ass boyfriend to Blaine!

this is also rooted in my absolute maniacal frustration that Blaine never gets to be a character of his own. His character is always (throughout the entirety of the show) written within the context of Kurt and Klaine. It's very much Ken and Barbie-esque with the whole "Ken only has a good day when Barbie looks at him." Like we never get to know anything about Blaine's personal life except for ?? a throwaway line that his dad (who we never meet) is homophobic? and also that he was gay bashed when he was 15. And, just to bitch about that, it will never not piss me off to insane lengths that Kurt wanted to go to prom so he made Blaine go with him even though Blaine was blatantly triggered by it. The literal dialogue exchange in the episode (S2E20) is Blaine detailing this very traumatic experience and saying "this is just a bit of a sore spot for me" and Kurt replies "this is perfect." LIKE WHAT?? WHATTTT?? what do you mean it's PERFECT?? your boyfriend is clearly uncomfortable and triggered by this!! do not make this man go to prom with you!! And then, in that same episode, Kurt very blatantly outs Blaine's secret trauma to his family without any fucking care whatsoever for what Blaine actually went through (which is crazy considering Kurt was bullied too and should have some goddamn sympathy for the situation??). and look at my boy!! he's CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE!! does Kurt give a fuck?? no he does not! and he literally never apologizes for this!!

gif credit (love this set and creator btw)

This is after they're dating and there are MANY more instances when they're dating that Kurt blatantly bulldozed over Blaine's boundaries with reckless fucking abandon. And any single time they ever get into an argument, Blaine has to be the one to apologize to KURT? like even when Kurt is the one who cheats on him in Season 3?? Blaine has to apologize to him for being insecure?? Or in Season 5 when Blaine is experiencing a lot of insecurity (which was also a crazy arc considering how attractive his actor, Darren, is?? and I always loathe when shows add unnecessary fatphobia plotlines for literal skinny characters but that's a different tangent) and he told Kurt and Kurt's response was quite literally "I'm not going to apologize for being better than you." Like that's a fucking insane thing to say to your boyfriend who is standing in your kitchen crying, saying he's scared you're "going to wake up one day and realize [you] don't love him anymore" (S5E16). AND THEN?? IN AN EVEN MORE INSANE TURN OF EVENTS?? literally a handful of episodes later that's EXACTLY what happens!! Just out of the blue, Kurt decides he doesn't love Blaine anymore and breaks up with him?? Which was an absurd plotline?? (as most plotlines from season 4 and on are).

I'm also just going to add that Ryan Murphy does not know Blaine Anderson like I do, clearly, because there is nothing at all in his character that insinuates he'd be a cheater especially considering his ENTIRE PERSONALITY REVOLVES AROUND KURT. which is some fucking lazy ass writing, I'm just gonna say.

Also, further defending Blaine and calling Kurt out for being a SHITHEAD! there's that whole episode "Blame it on the Alchohol" where Blaine and Kurt go over to Rachel's house for a party and Blaine gets literally blackout drunk and kisses Rachel during a spin the bottle game. Immediately, the fact that Kurt gets so upset over them kissing says a lot about how self-involved and psychotically jealous he is (considering he and Blaine were NOT together at this point and Blaine had literally actively said he did not want to be in a relationship with Kurt).

And then this will also always bother me?? Blaine was blackout?? So Kurt drove him home?? and let Blaine sleep in his bed??? with him??? which, based on the way Kurt was acting and how possessive he always was over Blaine, this was Weird. Like if you can drive your drunk friend somewhere, why aren't you driving them back to their OWN home?? especially when Blaine wakes up in the episode (looking very cute, I will say) and his immediate reaction is "Where am I?" Like that's fucked up???? And then, later, in the same episode, Blaine says he thinks he might be bi and Kurt goes off his fucking ROCKER. and is so blatantly biphobic !! and it's gross !! and the only reason he is is because he wants Blaine to himself even though Blaine literally said he wasn't interested!!!

including gifs of drunk!blaine bc he's cute <3

And to talk down to your supposed best friend?? And act like you know him better than he knows himself?? yeah it was fucked up and biphobia is never cute. and, also, all Kurt ever did was pretty much blatantly pressure Blaine into dating him?? Like he was constantly all over him and then, the second they got together, the writers were like "ok and now blaine's only personality trait is loving Kurt." Which never made any sense to me considering that Kurt is constantly talking down to him? He constantly (multiple times in multiple episodes) complains about how talented Blaine is. Which is just not something you fucking do to someone you supposedly love and respect??

Before they were even dating, Kurt complained to Blaine that he "always has solos" and "right now, it feels like we're Blaine and the pips" and also a very underhanded comment about how "I know we're all supposed to be do-whopping behind Blaine while he sings every Katy Perry song" (S2E16). All of these things are just blatantly belittling? Also, tea time, but Kurt's ass was not fucking talented enough to be making bold ass claims about how he should be singing lead vocals.

Once they're dating, Blaine and Kurt both try out for the musical. When Kurt finds out that Blaine is trying for the lead, he immediately becomes standoffish and Blaine clearly panics, making a comment about how seniors should get the leads, not juniors. And Kurt goes "yeah that's usually how it works!" So then Blaine completely fucking forfeits the part! He auditions for a side role so that Kurt can get it and Kurt won't see him as a "threat" but then, because Blaine is so fucking good (and better than Kurt cough cough), he gets cast and Kurt is fucking pissed about it !!! (S3E02).

Once they are dating, Kurt literally cheats on Blaine, then claims that it's "okay" because it's "just texting" and, when Blaine says he's hurt, Kurt calls him crazy?? (S3E17) He never once apologizes to Blaine for what he did, only saying "I'm sorry if this upsets you but it's okay" which is not a fucking apology!! And Blaine ends up being the one apologizing to Kurt at the end of the episode, saying that he's insecure!! But Kurt does about fuck all to actually care for him!! And, during that scene, he says "Do you know how many times I've had to sit on a stool and watch you perform?" Like how fucking shitty is that to say to someone you love? Literally All Kurt does the entire series is make Blaine feel bad about how good he is??

there's a lot of other moments where Kurt is really just blatantly fucking mean to Blaine but I'm going to stop there because this is getting <3 really long <3 and I'm going to take a deep breath.

ANYWAY CONTINUING ON!

Blaine literally transferred schools to be with Kurt because Kurt pressured him into it?? Like there were literally scenes where Kurt was like "you should change schools" and Blaine went "aww no I don't wanna :(" and then Kurt continued to pressure him into it?? it's not something he ever should have even proposed in the first place?? But then when Blaine actually did transfer - and made it blatantly clear to Kurt that he did it for him - all of a sudden Kurt was like "aw noo u shouldn't have done this for lil ol mee!" (S3E01). Which was some BULLSHIT! but i am gonna include a gif of new kid blaine because look at this fucking cutie !!!

gif credit (i luv u klainegifs)

ok so, after Kurt pressures Blaine into going to his school and all of Kurt's friends are blatantly fucking mEAN to Blaine (despite him being the most talented member of the club cough cough), there's the scene where they all go to prom. Now this one.... oh this one makes me mad. And this makes me mad because it's just clearly rooted in the outright racism of Glee. And here's the reasons I'm mad:

Darren Criss (Blaine's actor) is Asian-American but Glee pretends like Blaine Anderson is a white character.

A fun fact for you about Glee is that Darren Criss auditioned for Glee's first season with his natural hair (big, fluffy, curly, beautiful) and he did not get a part. However, he auditioned again for the second season with his hair short and gelled back and he did get the part. Notice anything fucking weird about that???? he was just as fucking talented with the curly hair !!

Glee gels Blaine's hair so fucking much in later seasons that he literally develops helmet head. Look at the difference between season 2 and season 6:

LOOK AT HIS FLAT ASS HEAD !! ITS LIKE THEY PAINTED HIS FUCKING HAIR ON !!! RELEASE HIS CURLS RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!!!!!!!!!!

4. There was one episode (a different prom episode in season 3) where they did release the curls. and they pretended like my boy was UGLY!?! LOOK AT HIM

he's literally precious. But also, the producers of Glee went out of their way to try and make his curls look bad?? like they purposefully tried to give him bad hair?? and make fun of his natural curls?? and this was kurt's actual fucking reaction to seeing his boyfriend's natural hair for the first time:

he says "oh my dear god" in horror. like kurt literally go fuck yourself. Everyone is so fucking mean to Blaine when he ungels his hair!! and it's because they're RACIST!!!! name one curly-haired character in Glee. I'll wait.

I never liked Kurt but him reacting so cruelly to blaine's natural hair (and then Blaine never ungelling his hair again) is one of my biggest problems with him.

in conclusion, I will never fucking forgive the way that Glee treated Blaine. My beautiful baby boy and his bowties deserved better.

the end.

#pigeon #anon #you shouldnt have asked bro #anyway <3 that's my jessay of the day <3 #it's 12:30 i should sleep #goodnight!#also blaine was and will always be the best singer the show ever had #so it was a fucking waste to not give him his own plot lines outside of kurt !!!#ryan murphy give me ur show right now i need to fix this.

The Oscars were announced today and while there is plenty that I am happy about disappointment still abounds. No love for SALTBURN. I knew Best Actor was crowded and Barry Keoghan may not get in,

AMPAS how can you deny him?

but I was sure of a Rosamund Pike nomination. Was holding out hope for a Dominic Sessa, or even unlikelier a Milo Machado Graner nomination for their respective works in THE HOLDOVERS and ANATOMY OF A FALL.

And while not personally disappointed (more disappointed by her BABYLON snub), very surprised that Margot Robbie didn't secure a nomination for BARBIE yet America Ferrera did.

Ryan Gosling speaks on Margot and Greta Gerwig's omission.

Not surprised by Andrew Scott not getting a nod - he didn't even get one from the BAFTAs - I just think there wasn't enough meat on the bones for that role.

Not surprised by Leonardo DiCaprio not securing a nomination as he's been pretty much absent from these conversations. What bothers me is that everyone I talk to about KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON pan his character, but not his performance. They hate that his character is stupid. They don't even touch on he's a bad person for poisoning his wife; no. It's his stupidity. So they hate that weakness in him and it blinds them to Leo's performance. Even director Paul Schrader whinged about how stupid the character was and Leo should have played the role originally offered to him; the FBI agent played by Jesse Plemons.

I love comparing who were being pushed to who actually got the big nomination.

Sorry Andrew, Greta, Julianne, Margot, Eve and Fantasia.

The Nominees.

Best Picture American Fiction Anatomy of a Fall Barbie The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Maestro Oppenheimer Past Lives Poor Things

*I only just found out Ramy Yousef, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo are in this poster.

The Zone of Interest

Best Director Justine Treit (Anatomy of a Fall) Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon) Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer) Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things) Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest)

Best Actor in a Leading Role Bradley Cooper (Maestro)

Colman Domingo (Rustin) Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) - when asked what he would eat as the Oscars do not serve food, he said he will bring a piece of his mam's sponge cake snuck in his wife's purse.

Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction)

More Nominations and Oscar Nom Talks

Thrilled for Bradley Cooper as a lot of people were turning on him because they viewed him as a award desperate try-hard. But he really just cares so much about this role. He screened A STAR IS BORN for Steven Spielberg and when the "Shallow" scene came on Spielberg got up and whispered in his ear, "You are fcking directing MAESTRO". When you are given given that must trust by arguably one of the greatest filmmakers ever, of course you're going to be extra to the nth degree.

Not sold on Cillian Murphy's performance in OPPENHEIMER. It did nothing for me, but I'm happy he has had this award season experience. He stays outside of actors' circle and - based on absolutely no proof- I just think he probably felt it al superficial, but when he won his Globe and thanked his fellow actors I can tell he was sincere. I think coming together with his peers in a real way; not just mingling at parties, but by being in spaces where they discuss their craft and inspirations let him recognize that no matter how big the name, these are his tribe and they see the art and value of what they do. Awards season friendships are cool to see. I didn't see one this season but Bradley Cooper said he and Colman Domingo have become buddies this season after doing a photoshoot together.

Best Actress in a Leading Role Annette Bening (Nyad)

Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) Carey Mulligan (Maestro) Emma Stone (Poor Things)

*Minus Sandra Hüller this is pretty much how I viewed how this category would shape up. Very funny to me that when POOR THINGS started screenings critics swore up and down it was an embarrassment to Emma Stone's talent and she would get nothing.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction) Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon) Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) Ryan Gosling (Barbie) Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things)

*I honestly felt that Sterling K. Brown could be the upset and I was so happy to be right. His performance in AMERICAN FICTION is a breath of fresh air. I honestly wanted more of his character.

What I like about his Mark Ruffalo's nominations are that they both didn't think these roles would lead to this.

Brown said his publicist kept pushing him for interviews and panels this season and he couldn't understand why as he thought it was such a small role and he was just satisfied with being in the film, but his publicist saw the reactions to Brown's character and knew it was awards worthy.

Ruffalo said he didn't think he could do his POOR THINGS role because he's been so pigeon-holed and was accustomed to playing roles that were the anti-thesis of Duncan that he wasn't sure he could find him. Having people trust in you when even you yourself don't have that trust, or trying even while in doubt of yourself is beautiful.

Best Actress in a Supporting Role Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer)

Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple)

America Ferrera (Barbie) Jodie Foster (Nyad) Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers)

*America Ferrera should be nowhere in this category. It should be Rosamund Pike 1000%. So happy that Danielle Brooks and Da'Vine Joy Randolph were both nominated as I was afraid the voters would only pick one over the other. Kinda surprised by Jodie Foster, but hers was a nomination I was really hoping for.

Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) American Fiction Barbie Oppenheimer Poor Things The Zone of Interest

Best Animated Feature The Boy and the Heron Elemental Nimona Robot Dreams Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Best Documentary Feature Film Bobi Wine: The People’s President The Eternal Memory Four Daughters 20 Days in Mariupol To Kill a Tiger

*I forget the film but last year Dev Patel threw his support behind an International Documentary. He wasn't involved in it, but he did Zoom Q&As promoting it. This year he backed TO KILL A TIGER, going further this time to become an executive producer on it. This is the way to use your profile - uplifting other artists whose projects don't have the reach.

Best Live-Action Short Film The After Invincible Knight of Fortune Red, White and Blue The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

*I'm 100% behind THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR, though I preferred the short within the quandrant of films THE SWAN starring Rupert Friend. As long as the shallow Pedro Almodóvar short STRANGE WAY OF LIFE wasn't nominated, I'm good.

Best Original Song “The Fire Inside” (Flamin’ Hot) “I’m Just Ken” (Barbie) “It Never Went Away” (American Symphony) “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” (Killers of the Flower Moon) “What Was I Made For?” (Barbie)

*Was really rooting for one John Carney's two songs from FLORA & SON to get a nod. He's been twice nominated (winning one) for Best Song, but since not gaining a nod for SING STREET (a robbery!), he just haven't been able to gain ground.

Best Original Score American Fiction Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer Poor Things

*Should have been a space for Anthony Willis who did the score for SALTBURN but everyone has to kiss John Williams' ring and Robbie Robertson passed away so they have to recognize him. Though, if pushed came to shove, I preferred Robertson's score over Williams'.

Best Documentary Short Film The ABCs of Book Banning The Barber of Little Rock Island in Between The Last Repair Shop Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó

Best International Feature Film Io Capitano (Italy) Perfect Days (Japan) Society of the Snow (Spain)

The Teacher’s Lounge (Germany) The Zone of Interest (United Kingdom)

*Haven't been able to see THE ZONE OF INTEREST because A24 kept bollocksing up their screenings (same with THE IRON CLAW), but I hear it's great. I'm 1000% behind SOCIETY OF THE SNOW. I really hoped that JA Bayona was able to break out and make it into the Best Director category, but sadly, it didn't happen,

Best Production Design Barbie Killers of the Flower Moon Napoleon Oppenheimer Poor Things

Best Film Editing Anatomy of a Fall The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer Poor Things

*Again, another category SALTBURN should have been nominated in.

Best Production Design Barbie Killers of the Flower Moon Napoleon Oppenheimer Poor Things

Sorry Glen...

Anyone But You is just bad. I think the only people that will love it are people that just love any Rom-Com in general (My mom even liked Little Italy and that movie made me want to rip my hair out), or are huge fans of Glen or Sydney.

There was just nothing special about it at all. Sydney was a miscast, imo. The plot has been done over and over and over again, and better. Even the "retelling of Shakespeare", yeah, that's been done.

For me, it was something I would never watch again by choice. It also doesn't help that all the drama really took me out of the movie, and was something I thought about here and there.

I'd love to see Glen do more dramatic work, particularly after he shined with that in TGM and even Devotion. Maybe we'll see that with Twister, but as a fan of the original I'm worried they're just going to ruin another classic with remake.

The reviews are terrible but it seems like the gp mostly enjoyed it. I’m sorry you didn’t like it (I haven’t even seen it and am in no rush to) but I think we all have to remember that there are fandom bubbles that know all the behind the scenes drama, and gossip and issues with this movie but the overwhelming majority of the audience has no idea about any of that. They just see a cute romcom with two attractive leads and this particular audience (romcom viewers) do not care if they’ve seen this plot before. That’s why Hallmark can make the same movies 100’s of 1000’s of times. It is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know when this movie was announced everyone thought it would rejuvenate the romcom genre, and although it fell short of that goal, I actually think this romcom mostly did what it set out to do.

I like that Glen doesn’t seem to pigeonhole himself into roles and is diverse when picking his projects. He’s done comedy, drama, action, romcoms, and I just heard he’s working on a Broadway musical with Ryan Murphy. Idk how that’ll go but I love that he’s not afraid to try something new and I think risk-taking and being so open to different roles is really going to give his career longevity

Secret relationship with Amelia Shepherd. (X f!reader.)

a/n: i made this one is a bit more of a set of headcanons! :)

Headcanons for secretly dating Amelia Shepherd

tags: flirting, the shepherd siblings fighting, mentions of death, snuggling, innuendo, private practice spoilers.

You and Amelia meet in your intern year when she's in town trying to convince Derek to work on an impossible tumor case.

The two of you click nearly instantly, it makes you sad when the two of you part ways.

“I’d love to work under your guidance at some point Doctor Shepherd, might find neuro more interesting if you taught it.”

She gives you a smile at your not-so-subtle attempt at flirting before she leaves for the airport and that’s all you’ll ever get with the prettier (as far as you’re concerned) Doctor Shepherd.

That is until nearly three years later, during your residency when Doctor Amelia Shepherd joins the newly named Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital ranks.

“Well, Dr. (L/N), is my brother still boring as a neuro teacher?” Is the first thing she asks when she runs into you, she remembers you.

Your relationship with her takes off soon after she starts working there. You are working under her guidance, and in all fairness, you do love it.

She doesn’t show you any more favoritism than the other attendings do to their favorites.

She helps you in figuring out what specialty you want to go into, never pressuring you into neuro if it isn’t what you want.

Everyone else just thinks you have a close mentor-mentee relationship.

That is until Meredith catches you sneaking out of Amelia’s bedroom to get a glass of water, wearing nothing but a pair of panties and one of Amelia’s oversized shirts.

She doesn’t even mention it, you didn’t even notice it. Thus, the sneaking around continues.

She is a sucker for teasing you during surgery.

“Well, Dr. (L/N)... You’re always still learning, but I am glad to see you’re skilled at the new things even when you start.”

She loves to hold you, after losing Ryan, it makes her feel much more sure that you’re safe and with her.

You two literally will leave Seattle to go on dates. Not far, just over to Bellevue or Tacoma.

That’s how everyone else figures out that you are dating.

“Where’s Amy?” Derek asks nobody in particular, Alex answers though, “She’s running an errand or something I think, Bellevue.” Derek scoffs, “What the hell? What would she need in Bellevue..?” It doesn’t click for either of the men, that is until Callie walks in and asks, “Where’s (Y/N)? Is she not back from Bellevue yet?” Click. Combined with the weird behavior you’d both exhibited the past few months, it all came together.

Meredith was the one to confirm their suspicions.

“Yeah they’re dating! I honestly don’t know how you didn’t figure it out earlier… She lives with us, Derek!” Meredith does consider chastizing her husband further but the embarrassed look on his face is enough. It quickly becomes the well-known gossip among the residents and attendings, without much effort at all. When the two of you return at as suspicious rate where it seems like you arrived together but staggered your entrances, as to not seem suspicious.

Jo comes to you first, “Are you actually sleeping with She-Shepherd?” You choke on your drink.

“W-What are you talking about, Jo?” You stammer out, “It’s none of your business who I’m sleeping with!” She rolls her eyes, pulling a strand of her hair behind your ear, “I frankly don’t care who you’re sleeping with or even dating, but for your sake and your job’s sake… Don’t pull a Leah Murphy.” You laugh softly, “I’d never do that, Jo.”

Meredith stops Amelia in the hallway before she goes into the attending’s lounge.

“I wouldn’t go in there if I were you…” She warns as Amelia sends her a nervous look, “Why?” Meredith only shakes her head, “Go!” All is good until she runs into Derek later in the day…

“Amy, you can’t sleep with your residents!” She scoffs at her brother’s accusatory tone, “That’s so rich coming from you, Derek. If I remember correctly, your wife was your intern!”

Safe to say that Derek relented quickly from his attacks on his sister’s relationship.

When the two of you reunite that evening, it’s an all-out snuggle fest with venting and snacks.

All and all, despite your relationship no longer being a secret, it feels much better to be a little more open about your budding and growing relationship.

my diehard ships: in descending order of how canon they are

Laszlo & Nadja: (idk their ship name lol) married and endlessly horny and in love with each other, pls don’t ever change this relationship

Vauseman: Dated in the past and their whole love affair is a huge part of the show. They part ways in the end but Piper bucks up and moves to Ohio just to be with Alex so still canon and hopefully real married when Alex gets out

Janason: Had an on and off relationship due to Jason being rebooted hundreds of times but Janet always retained feelings for him. They eventually find each other again through the course of the series and finally get to spend endless bearimies together til Jason walked through the door 😭 Still in love til the end but it’s so sweet and sad

Harlivy: Literally is canon in the comics, was heavily implied since the 90s, also implied in other assorted animated medias, kinda only noticed as “canon” recently cause of the HQS (which I love) but it’s unfortunate people wouldn’t believe me till that episode and season came out. In media where they’re not together though they were either exes or I choose to believe they have a past together :)

BBRae: Depends on the universe whether they’re together or not but for the most part they’re dating or have mutal crushes on each other. If not, I choose to ship in any universe lol

Zadison: Had a canon threesome but should’ve been properly developed more as a relationship but Ryan Murphy hates sapphics >:((

Jori: Bade was the main ship throughout the run but if they were ever to reboot it, Jori would have to be canon now. Cause as we all rewatch it, we understand it was Jori all along.

Gelphie: Similar to Jori in we all thought it was the straight ship but you rewatch it and think, wait a minute..these bitches gay. Ofc you’re wrong but in my HEAD they ran off together

Hizzie: For a hot second, I legit thought these two were gonna be canon. I know it’s Hosie forever but like after Kaylee left, the development between these two took a weird turn and Lizzie kept rejecting MG and going to Hope. Plus their already established frenemy relationship and past episode developments focused on their friendship like..why didn’t this happen?

Amedot: I thought this was gonna happen back in 2016/17 because of weird subtext we got but that was probably just wishful thinking. My thoughts on it were “I know nothing is going to happen but I think there’s a less than 1% chance for something, or at least for subtext”. But then Lapidot took over the fandom so I was wrong lol. Ofc neither ship actually became canon and Peri was revealed to be an intended aro/ace, which slowed down some shipping but not all of it ofc. Side note: the artist who “confirmed” ace/aro peri also ships amedot sooo.. I guess you’re good in that aspect? Anyways, now I do still ship it but mostly nostalgically and I think prime 2016 amedot was the best.

Cassunzel: I like this purely hypothetically but I do think they had a canon crush on each other in the show which is gone by the ending but it’s only real in my heart ❤️

Reiusa: Literally never gonna happen but I like the what if of them together in the future and co-parenting Chibiusa while still giving jabs at each other and the whole Rei cares about Usagi more than she lets on. I’m wrong but it’s nice to dream

#this was fun #no one cares cause these are all obscure #but I had thoughts so judge if you want #cassunzel #hizzie #reiusa #nadja and laszlo #amedot #gelphie #jori #bbrae #janason #zadison #harlivy #vauseman #my ships #otp

I did the Barbenheimer double feature and it was the most fun thing I've ever done. Both movies were tonally different and it was so exciting to go from one movie to the next.

I saw Barbie first and this movie is incredible - a masterpiece of a film. It was really funny and I was laughing the whole way through. It wasn't afraid to get emotional and address heavy subject matter like female empowerment and gender roles in society, which I think was handled with care and left a resonating mark on me. Margot Robbie was terrific as Barbie, bringing innocence and a joyous quality to the character while giving her a vulnerability that you wouldn't expect to see from other actresses. She was perfect to play Barbie and she handled her existential crisis wonderfully. Ryan Gosling is a standout as Ken as he is just full of naivety and is great foil to Margot's Barbie. Throughout the film, his obsession with Barbie and naive personality is what makes him vulnerable to the the patriarchal system and how that changes him later on in the film. His musical number I'm Just Ken is a banger and the best part of the film. You can tell the actors had so much fun making that sequence. At the heart of Barbie, the film is all about growing up and that the real world isn't what you think it'll be. You can't let others make choices for you, it is all about finding the beauty within and embracing it.

After that, I saw Oppenheimer and it was tense as fuck. I mean that in a good way. This movie is really effective at building tension in every scene, and it is clearly evident when the characters are talking. They are compelling, morally grey characters as it is very interesting to dive in to Robert J. Oppenheimer's history. He is played expectionally well by Cillian Murphy, who brings a level-headed intensity to the father of the atomic bomb. I recognised very actor in this movie so that helped to pull me into the story. It is visually stunning as every scene is immersive as it takes a deep dive into Oppenheimer's past, present and future and the sound is instrumental for building suspense as it is like a bomb is about to go off in Oppenheimer's mind. You're not quite sure what's going to happen next and it leaves you at the edge of your seat. The two criticisms I have is that it was too long and there was at least two scenes that I felt uncomfortable watching (you know what I’m talking about). In my opinion, there was no need for these scenes and they added nothing to the film. What makes this film scary for me is how the atomic bomb was a weapon made by humanity and how it could be used out of our hands. Imagine having the power to destroy ourselves? The film takes that question and explores it with depth and ambiguity, and I praise Christopher Nolan for the direction he took with this film as he makes this biopic very chilling to watch. You just tell this film's going to be oscar worthy.

Overall, Barbenheimer is a fun experience at the movies. I'll be honest and say I prefer Barbie out of the two. If you are looking to do this double feature, I advise going to see Barbie then Oppenheimer as it always great to see something light before the darkness. This is the first time I've ever done a double feature and it was a very rewarding experience.

Barbie - 10/10

Oppenheimer - 8/10
