Memories Last Forever (Collab with @Lozzypoz321)

Chris Evans x f!teen!co-star!reader, Chris Pratt x reader, Tom Holland x reader, Sebastian Stan x reader, Paul Rudd x reader

Genre: fluff!

Description: In an interview your costars gush over your talent and awesomeness, and reflect on all the good memories from set.

Warnings: None bro

A/N from morizoras-cave: Before this I’d never ever done a collab before, but Loz approached me and I was super duper excited about it. Loz is such a nice person and an evil mastermind and I definitely hope to write with her in the future! ;))) This was so much fun, I love you Loz :D

A/N from @lozzypoz321: I really enjoyed writing this and it brought a smile to my face, I hope you do too! V is such an amazing writer and you may see something from us more in the future *wink wonk*

“So,” Mark, the interviewer started with interest and kept his eyes on you all “I saw that on Twitter a couple of months ago, you and your costar, (Y/N), took a selfie at the teen choice awards which you won by the way” hope directed the last part at you, making a blush creep up onto your cheeks involuntary “what would you say that was like?”

Chris (Evans) laughed lightly, taking a moment to ponder the question. “Well, I’m super thankful for all the people who nominated me and her, we enjoyed it greatly and I’m very proud of (Y/N) for what she’s achieved.”

You rubbed your face with sweaty palms, flustered that your costars were saying such nice things about you. Sebastian swung his legs back and forth on the couch where he was sitting and gave a grin “yeah, I think we all are, people look up at the screen and think that since she’s so small that the fame would get to her but,” he took a pause and jokingly nudged you in the ribs “she’s very humble.”

Without meaning to, you laughed out quietly. It wasn’t that you got embarrassed when someone complimented you, it was more that you thought that you didn’t deserve all the attention they were giving you.

“Guys, stop” you mumbled quietly, earning a full on laugh from beside you. Chris (Pratt) nodded towards the camera in the rooms corner. “Super kind too” the man added on to Sebastian's previous statement.

“Woah, remember when she won an Emmy?!” Tom (Holland) said in joking amazement, earning another shake of the head from you. Paul (Rudd) laughed with everyone and ran a hand through his short hair and faked bitterness “man, I haven’t even won an Emmy!”

Mark chuckled lightly and brought his notebook back up into his eyesight, looking at his next question to ask you all. “What has been your favourite moment filming on set?”

Chris (Pratt) looked around at everyone for a second before asking “we taking it in turns?”

“Um.. yeah, sure.”

Tom (Holland) went first, rubbing his hands together in concentration, “well, it probably has to be that dinner we went to with all the cast. I remember Anthony Mackie falling over, I loved it” making you all laugh and turn to Chris (Evans) who looked as if that was the hardest question he’d ever been asked in his life. You swore you heard him mutter “I don’t wike it” under his breath but just shrugged it off, “well if I had to choose it was probably the dance battle me and RDJ had outside Scarletts trailer,” he looked at the camera with seriousness drawn all over his features and a smirk on his lips “I won of course”

Paul (Rudd) went next and he was practically bouncing in his seat, “I got to hold Thor’s hammer when he left to go eat lunch, (Y/N) helped me steal it off set.” You gasped.

“You’ve ratted me out!” shock was written all over your face. The other cast members laughed, as Paul feigned surprise. “I can’t believe you!” you said. Sebastian patted your shoulder, jokingly. “That’s what you get for trusting Paul,” he told you and you had to agree. What were you thinking?

Chris (Pratt) began speaking, taking the heat off Paul, “I loved when you guys held a surprise birthday party for me,” he smiled warmly. Chris (Evans) shook his head and sighed. “Of course, he picks something about himself!”

The entire cast burst into laughter, you included. You loved watching the banter between them all. “Hm, I’ve gotta say, my favourite moment was when me and Anthony,” Sebastian paused, winking at you in a very exaggerated manner, “stole the script all by ourselves.” You nodded along, mumbling “of course, of course. The full truth and nothing but the truth.”

There was a moment of silence, as you thought about your favourite moment. There were so many to choose from, and the thought of it all brought a small smile to your lips. Your eyes lit up suddenly.

“My favourite moment was when we all had that sleepover on set! And everyone brought their sleeping bags and mattresses, and we ate pizza and watched Iron Man 1,” you stopped for a moment, but then gasped again, all the memories coming back to you, “and then we played hide and seek, and somehow Hemsworth was the last one to be found. And then we stole the food out the vending machines and accidentally broke, like, half of them.”

All the other cast members chuckled at the memories from that night. Mostly, they smiled seeing how happy the memories made you. They were happy to have brought good memories into your life, ones you’d always be able to look back on with a smile. The interview ended, and so did the movies and their contracts, but the memories you’d made with them lasted forever. :)

Party w Chris

One shot

Summary: Reader and Chris are at a party.

You could always find Chris by the beer pong table. His inner fratboy came out. His laugh almost louder than the music playing in the room. You guys were at a Marvel wrap party at RDJ’s house. Con Calma by Daddy Yankee blasted in your eardrums. You and Chris almost had each your own preordained position at the parties. Him playing with the other man-children and you out on the dancefloor.

You were currently dancing with Tom Hiddleston. The man seriously had crazy moves. Tom was always ready to dance with you due to Chris’s lack of motivation to join you. Well that’s a lie. Sometimes Chris would join you but only as the last resort. If he was sensing competition from any unwanted suitors. Then he would get all grabby with you to send a message. The message was always loud and clear no doubt about it. You didn’t really care when he got all handsy and only enjoyed when he would get down with you.

Chris knew several of your dance moves too well. A little bit of bump and grind’, the jiggle, Shakira alike hips moves and many more. You could dance to any song no matter what genre. That only amazed him. Chis had some moves but could feel intimidated whenever he saw Tom swinging you around like it was an episode of DWTS. In reality Chris would much rather watch you dance than dance himself. You truly had a way to move your body to the beat. Never once of key. Sometimes Chris would find himself mesmerized by you.

Tonight, however you were tired and a bit sweaty from all the dancing. You went over to where Chris was dominating the beer pong competition. With a drink in your hand you go to Chris and hug from behind. Chris turned around in your arms and bent down to kiss you. It was in fact slobby, wet and a bit of teeth. He was all hands-on deck. You could vaguely hear Mackie in the background yelling you ‘stop swabbing saliva’.

“Girl, get yo ass over here. If you wanna join, the two of you can’t be on the same team. No one wants to see dat nastiness. Have you no shame Y/N?”

Stan was covering Tom’s eye due to your makeout sesh. Mackie always teased you and Chris and tonight was no exception. Him and Stan were both laughing as Chris reluctantly let you go.

He waved you over to the other side of the table. On the other side of the table stood Mackie, Sebastian and Tom Holland (even though he wasn’t allowed to drink any of the strong beverages. They guys had made special kiddie cups with soda in for him) Chris’s team consisted of Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner.

“Sorry Bubs. Guess we are gonna see if you can take me on in a game of beer pong.”

You tried sassing him. Chris only laughed and flashed a confident smirk.

“You’re forgetting that this is my specialty baby. This is what I do.”

Throughout the game you realized how much of an effect you had on Chris. You kept dancing around while the game went on. Each move you made, Chris’s eyes were on you. He was losing both focus and the game by the looks of it. Whenever Chris would take a shot, you would make a little move for him little bit wiggle and jiggle even. Chris missed his shot each time. Stan and Mackie only laughed at this and continued to tease Chris.

When the game was over, your team had won. Chris slumped down on a couch. He was a bit of a sore loser but still so damn cute. You sat down next to him and offered a kiss. Chris pulled you to him and looked around at the party.

“Well it’s settled. You’re never playing beer pong again. Not against me or with me. You’re too damn distracting.”

“Oh come on baby. It was fun. Wasn’t it?”

“Yeah sure, hiding a hard-on from the guys is really fun and losing…btw thank you for that.”

You burst into laughter and so did Chris. You made him a deal the night not to interrupt the bros fun at future parties.

AND a little “dirty” bonus: Not that it’s that dirty :D

Chris couldn’t keep his eyes of you when he saw you dancing. You looked so happy and carefree. It made his heart swell. Something down south also swelled from looking at his girl. You were his and he had the privilege of being able to see you every day. On Sunday mornings he could always find you dancing around the kitchen while making breakfast. Dancing around in his shirt was the best sight ever.

Chris also had a very good reason for not wanting to dance with you in public. Each time he would have to save you on the dancefloor, he would always end up with a problem down south. This you knew. You’d once offered him a lap dance and the only reply you got was a flustered Chris. You still giggle looking back on the memory. You wouldn’t mind it and had thought about it several times. That way, Chris would gain something from your dancing. But alas this had yet to happen. You did however have a feeling that it would.

April 5, 2021

*constructed by Kayla, reviewed by Elise, date found by Sara

April 5, 2021: Run 140-144 is filmed. BTS join the variety show Game Caterers, New Journey to the West, to take part in a 4-episode series where they play a variety of games.

In the first game “attendance”, the members must point to one member while saying another’s name. Jin calls Yoongi by a nickname, using his last name “Min”. He tries to jokingly say the “Ji” in front was silent (implying he meant Jimin while looking at Yoongi). Tae playfully sings “I’m Min” as they discuss, and you can hear Jk doing a copy / paste rendition and singing along after. The camera doesn’t pan to Jk, staying on Tae, but the line “I’m Min” repeats and it’s Jk’s voice. timestamp 4:05

https://twitter.com/cotton_kv/status/1389552149516804101?s=21

The final game of this first episode is the “figure quiz” in which members must quickly identify the celebrity’s picture. This is a ‘staple’ of the Game Caterers show and it can be a mix of Western and Korean individuals or just Korean [depending on the show]. The stakes are high, as they’re playing for food for their lunch. If they fail to guess the person, they must forfeit a food item (tofu, meat, etc). In their third round loss, Jungkook suggests they remove the ice cream, as it’s not good for one’s health. Tae playfully calls him out for this, asking why he eats so much ice cream if it’s not good for you. This is a more subtle moment but extreme telling, as it indicates Tae is aware of Jk’s at home habits and meals.Jk cutely protests Tae’s teasing. timestamp 21:37, or still shots at https://twitter.com/tkchronicles/status/1389559454195191809?s=21

Jungkook is visibly nervous to be at the end—there were little foods left on the table and Jungkook was in an unenviable position of either being first or last. Tae attempts to comfort him and get him to relax by saying his posture is wrong, and to sit as he does when he’s watching TV. Again, this is a more subtle but telling moment, as it indicates Tae is aware of how Jungkook relaxes when he’s watching TV. An argument could be made that BTS are all aware of habits, as they’re all close and shared a living space, but we wanted to note this since people continuously say Taekook are not close. Little indicators, such as the ice cream and sitting habits, show Tae and Jk do spend time together, regardless if someone thinks it’s platonic or romantic. Na PD confirms Jk now looks relaxed.

Timestamp 30:53

https://twitter.com/nars95v/status/1389613764710862848?s=21 or https://twitter.com/kthjjk_taekook/status/1389556728405102593?s=21

Tae playfully asks “who is that” when RDJ / Iron Man’s face appears. This is being noted briefly, and will be addressed in the Behind the Scenes 140 a little more in depth. timestamp 31:39

As the members prepare to cook, Jungkook starts walking off camera. Tae calls out “Jungkook-ah” and proceeds to follow. timestamp 35:48

https://twitter.com/kthjjk_taekook/status/1389569982535766017?s=21

Raw link - https://www.vlive.tv/post/1-22606485

Behind the scenes Run 140:

Some people had their reservations about and their closeness due to the fact that Tae flubbed RDJ and it is a well known fact that JK is enamoured by Iron Man (e.g. he has mentioned in earlier interviews how much he loves him & chose him as a celebrity crush once). However, in the behind RUN scenes you can clearly hear Tae’s voice in the background as he inquires if saying “Iron Man” would’ve been passable, confirming that Tae knows who this is. Additionally, Tae has shown before he is aware of who Iron Man is (e.g. handing JK an iron man figurine at a concert, plus JK has mentioned on multiple occasions in interviews with all of them how much he loves Iron Man).

Also keep in mind, this is a high pressure situation where multiple members had struggled to get people’s names correct, even world famous athletes, actors, or people that they’ve met or worked with. There is also food on the line (remember a funny moment that they gave up their album first to protect the food). What may seem like an easy answer to one may not necessarily be easy to another, especially in a pressure situation.

There is also the possibility that Tae was being playful, perhaps not knowing the actor’s name in such a quick moment, but teasing since he was uncertain if the superhero name would work (and he wanted to see the other members’ reactions). This is plausible since he does proceed to ask behind the scenes if RDJ’s Marvel superhero name would’ve been acceptable + playfully asked who could it be without stuttering or pausing to try to recall a name, which the other members did when truly trying to recall a name.

timestamp 5:04 of daily motion link below or https://twitter.com/unbothered_tae/status/1390281213319913479?s=21

Jk is visibly nervous about starting the final round of “figure quiz”. He rocks anxiously while the members are comforting and, even though Yoongi and him are the only ones to not say an incorrect name, before the round begins he deflects it as luck. Prior to him being visibly nervous, he mentions his perfect streak is simply due to luck, which Tae quickly reassures will continue for the final round.

Timestamp 6:41

ttps://twitter.com/flirtaeguk/status/1390287118207918081?s=21

Episode 2 - continues as a YT exclusive. This is chaotic Bangtan at their finest, with a lot of hilarious moments and interactions between members. The maknae line, in particular, are quite determined to sabotage the older members’ tasked individual missions, though Jimin and Jungkook could be deemed the orniest of the three. All members try to sabotage Tae dancing to “Idol” but since this is a Taekook Timeline only the TK moments are noted.There isn’t much in significance as far as significant Taekook moments go, and we try to be mindful to only show moments of substance so the reader understands they’re close. But since episode 1 had some notable interactions that signified closeness, for consistency’s sake we will just note some quick, cute moments, though one may be considered to showcase closeness.

The maknae line sabotage Joon’s attempt to place 300 dominoes. Tae keeps his hand around Jk’s wrist as the maknae line teases a poor, helpless Joon from completing his task. Even when they all run, Tae keeps a hold of Jk.

Timestamp 2:58; https://twitter.com/tkkfrvr/status/1390685007186780167?s=21 or https://twitter.com/taekookfolder/status/1390691888613761029?s=21

Close up of the happy smiles -

Unfortunately subs don’t translate but Tae quietly says something to Jk twice. This may be considered a possible “noteworthy” moment as it doesn’t appear Tae whispers anything to any of the other members in their attempts to sabotage him, however, we also don’t know what he’s saying to determine importance to the game.

The first time it happens, Tae locks his hands around Jk’s wrists and they both subconsciously lean into one another’s space, with Tae whispering something to Jk the subs don’t translate.

Close up -

Second time - murmuring may be heard at around 8:38 and 8:42 or see moment here https://twitter.com/taekookfolder/status/1390696060172050435?s=21; https://twitter.com/tkkfrvr/status/1390685009669877763?s=21

At the end of the episode, the members discuss their assigned missions. Jk’s was to protect the Couque d’-asse (a thin cookie that is known for easily crumbling), which he succeeded in doing. Tae laments he should’ve pressed harder. Jk clarifies that was why he slouched, then smiles cheekily up at Tae, who then jokingly goes to smash the pocket he had held the cookie in prior to the reveal.

Timestamp 20:39 or https://twitter.com/brattykv/status/1390683519316156418?s=21 or https://twitter.com/taekookfolder/status/1390702631534931975?s=21

Raw link - https://youtu.be/DEuV1XkNljg

Episode 4-

The members are tasked with saving the dragon balls. Winning seven will allow a wish of theirs to be granted. Taegi team up for a mission. PD NA comments Tae is athletic and Jk chimes in that Tae is also very good at choreography (to which Joon agrees). timestamp 8:46

Yoongi must predict how many times Tae can successfully kick the Jegichagi. Tae wins a dragon ball for the group if he successfully kicks it three times. Yoongi asks Tae if he can trust him (to complete the mission). Tae says no but Jk interjects and reassures that he can be trusted. timestamp 9:50 (side note, Tae does win and succeeds in kicking three times, but Yoongi incorrectly guessed two and fails his part of the mission).

Chris (Pratt) looked around at everyone for a second before asking “we taking it in turns?”

“Um.. yeah, sure.”

Paul (Rudd) went next and he was practically bouncing in his seat, “I got to hold Thor’s hammer when he left to go eat lunch, (Y/N) helped me steal it off set.” You gasped.

There was a moment of silence, as you thought about your favourite moment. There were so many to choose from, and the thought of it all brought a small smile to your lips. Your eyes lit up suddenly.

What made it fuckin hurt though was the fact that Clint was ready to die because he didn’t want to see Natasha go through that death. He wanted to protect her.

-the goodbye between Steve and Bucky was perfect. I don’t care what you say. Bucky knew what was going to happen. And he allowed it because he knew Steve would be happy for a very long time.

-Sams panic because he thought he wouldn’t see Steve again :(

-Sam being given the shield :D

-Damn the CGI is so good in this film. Like Steve looked old but you could still see it was him. Which sounds dumb but so often, movies make it way too unrealistic to prove someone has aged. This did it just right.

-THE CREDITS WITH THE ORIGINALS AND THEIR SIGNATURES OOF!!!

-we all waited til the end of the credits just to be hit in the heart with the sound of Tony building his iron man suit.

-well thanks for going through this list :))

hi so I saw you reblogging so much of (different) sherlock stuff. where is it all from and how gay is everything if u dont mind me asking? :D have a good day/night (:

Updated version: 17.02.2024

Hey nonny, thank you for asking. I guess you allready know BBC Sherlock so i skip that and come straight gay to other stuff.

1. The The Furtive Festivity. It is a Johnlock comedy short movie that was produced during the bbc sherlock season 4 aftermath (seaosn 4 aftermath = fans who didn't liked the idea of canon Johnlock said that IF we want a canon Johnlock we should do it ourselves. So the heros of @sherlockppu started a crowdfunding page and made this short movie). It is about John who trys to organize a surprise party for Sherlock. It is really funny, full of heart, unapologetic gay and has a super soft ending. It can be watched for free on youtube:

2. CBS Elementary. It had the bad luck to be released during the second season of BBC Sherlock. So many people ignored it and/or gave it a lot of hate. It is not justified imo. Like BBC Sherlock it plays in modern times, but it plays in modern NY. Sherlock is a tattooed ex junkie (still british) who just got dischared from a rehab center and Joan is an chinese woman. She is an ex doctor and now should help Sherlock for six weeks to get back into his regular life, find a job again, stay clean and go to therapy. Even with those changes is a really briliant adaptation that stays really true to the orginial stories. It is super nerdy, the humor is on point, the cases are really clever and the show cares deeply for its characters. It is also really diverse. For a whole season Sherlock is dating a disabled woman, mental illnesses are a topic, Sherlocks drug use is topic in every season, lgbt people get mentioned really often and appearing often as side characters. Sadly noone of the main cast is queer but the possibility is allways discussed. Actually the sexuality of the whole main cast, expecially of Joan Watson and Marcus Bell, are left open and there are a lot of nice shipping options in the show that the writers deeply care for: male/male, female/male, female/female as well as an OT3. I would highly recommend to check it out. It is my favorite adaptation. The last epsiode is aired tonight. The show is closed in seven seasons. I can not say how season 7 final is, but orginially season 6 was planned as the final and it is an awesome final season that gives you everthing you want and more.

Edit: Season 7 is absolut amazing. Reichenbach happens, no shock value ending. No force straight relationship. Untraditional family bounds. The ending is honoring the relationships of the characters and the growth they archieved. This show is amazing. Please watch it (many shows can still learn from this ending).

Edit 2: After I asked one of the Elementary writers (Robert Hewitt Wolfe) here on tumblr about the queer undertones he confirmed that Sherlock - in this adaptation - is definitly implied to be queer (Longest yay ever!) He also confirmed that Sherlock - in this adaptation - is basically neurodivergent.

Proof:

3. RDJ Sherlock Holmes. The movies with RDJ and Jude Law are focusing more on Sherlock nature as a fighter then on his deduction skills. Nevertheless they are also really clever written and i like how Guy Ritchie is filming his stories. There are two movie, a third one will be released decemeber 2021. The first movie is named “Sherlock Holmes” and focus on a more fictive case that is not discussed in the orginial ACD books. While the second movie focuses on the Moriaty case and stays more true to the ACD canon. The relationship between John and Watson is really queer, especially in the second movie. Sure it is still a Hollywood movie so Sherlock is dating Irene, but a kiss between Sherlock and a woman that you can see in the trailer was cut from the final movie and instead we got a Sherlock and John dancing scene. (In the second movie: A game of shadows.”). Jude Law himself describes the movie as a rom com. I would also recommend you to check them out. They are on Netflix. Also the humor is great and costumes are a dream.

4. Granada Sherlock Holmes. That is a TV show that was released 1984 and actually retells all of the orginal stories 1:1. With a few changes. John never marries Mary and the personal life of John and Sherlock gets more fleshed out. Jeremy Brett who is playing Sherlock Holmes is really close to how i imagined ACD Sherlock Holmes. John Watson is not portrayed as dumb side kick like other adaptations did back then but as a clever fellow. Of course because of the time it is only subtextual queer but due to the performance of the main actors they are really shipable. Jeremy Brett the actor of Sherlock was bisexual in real life and said such golorious things as “If it cheers up the gays, I’m thrilled“

5. the private life of sherlock holmes. The movie was released 1970. I do not know if I can highly recommend it but the author wrote Sherlock as a closet gay man in this adapatation and if you are a fan of BBC sherlock you will find a lot of similarities. Because the writers of BBC sherlock based their TV show on this movie. Nevertheless there are some great queer scene. For example where Sherlock refuse to impregnate a woman by saying that he and John are in a loving relationship. You can also find that scene on Youtube if you are interested in that.

6. Miss Sherlock. A TV show from HBO asia where both Shelrock and John are japense woman. While the first case is really disappoiting imo it gets a lot better in the later epsiodes. I only have watched the first three epsiode (because i am from germany and i do not like to stream illegal) but from what i saw it is a really promising show. John and Sherlock are of course really shippable again. What of course gets a really great new dynamic with both of them being women. Some who watched the last epsiode even go so far to say that Johnlock is canon in this adaptation. I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Edit: I have now watched all epsiodes and I can tell you that this adaption has the most well written Reichenbach ending I have ever seen. First, does the show levels up from a really mediocre first epsiode to a breathtaking final epsiode it. Second, while a few elements in the final epsiodes are copied from BBC Sherlock they are 100% better written, so clever and so well crafted. Also I now understand why people say that Watolock is canon here. I do not want to spoil to much but at the end Wato has to choose between her boyfriend and Sherlock. The rest is obvious, isn‘t it

7. Gosick. Also a japense adaptation. In this case as an anime and as books. I only read the books. In this adaptation Sherlock is a teenage girl with long blond hair who lives in the higest room of an old library in a school for rich kids. John is a teenage boy who comes from Japan and got an internship at this school because his brothers and his father are army members. John himself is not really a soilder but he does his best. He and Sherlock (Victorique) are solving cases in 9 different novels. There is nothing queer about this adaptation but i love how well written the cases are and that unlike other young Sherlock novels John does not gets ereased. Appreantly there are also sequel novels but i can not tell you something about.

8. House md. An medial/hospital AU where both John and Sherlock are sucessful doctors. Sherlock (Gregory House) has a drug addiction, is really arrogant but allways gets soft when he is around his Watson (James Wilson). All in all it is more clever written hospital show, but it never forgets its orginis (House is living in 221B, Irene Adler gets mentioned and in the last season Reichenbach happens). And i can spoil you so much. It takes you a time to ship House and Wilson but later they move in a house together, propose to eachother (”as a joke” sure jan..) and they drive into the sunset together at the end. Also pay attention to the music soundtracks. Most of what is left unsaid is told by the soundtracks. The show is closed in 8 seasons.

9. Enola Holmes - Books. The books are about a fictive young sister for Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes who is solving cases on her own. The stories are still set in 1900. I only have read the first four novels so far. Now, 2024, there are nine Enola Holmes books.

There is nothing queer about the first novel. Sadly, John does not even appear in the first novel and imo the author gets a few things wrong about how Sherlock thinks about women. But the book is surprisingly feministic for a teen novel. Being a woman in Victorian era gets used as a weapon here in a way you wouldn’t expected. Ther first novel does not even has 200 pages but is a good read if your want a well crafted young teen book with a strong female lead.

Edit 1: I have now read novel 1 to 4 and until now there was only one Johnlock moment. At the end of the third book Johnlock gets their own short chapter. Nothing queer… just really soft (I am not complaining). On the other hand, Enola has a “friend”, a young lady that she constantly needs to save from trouble, Lady Cecily. They are not girlfriends, but really shipable in a very cute ‘first teenage love’ way. When Enola thinks about her (and she does that really often) she calls her “my missunderstood lady”. Especially the fourth novel turned out really queer in general, with all being subtext and probably not intended by the author herself.

Edit 2: I now have read book 1 to 8. The books are still not queer but Nancy Springer (the author) said she is okay with every interpretation we might have of Enola and her love life, she just won't give Enola a romantic relarionship, neither male nor female. (She is actually really angry at the movies for making Enola fall in love with a boy, lol). Still nothing queer between Holmes and Watson, but the Enola/Cecily relationship keeps on going strong. Go lesians! (not canon).,

I can highly recommend the books!

9. Enole Holmes - two movies. Based on the Enola Holmes book series a movie was released 2020 with Henry Cavil as Sherlock and Millie Bobby Brown as his young sister Enola. The movie adapts the first book but does not really sticks to its orginial plot. Many things get changed. That does not mean it is a bad movie but many motives seem really poorly explained in the movie, when you compare it with the book. A really MAJOR change happens in the movie: Enola falls in love with a boy what NEVER happens in the books (she is more attracted to girls, see above). So there is nothing queer about the movie. Also because Cavill!Sherlock does not meet his John yet. There are one or two nice gay panic scenes for Sherlock nevertheless.

Edit: the second movie was released recently. Sadly it is still really heterosexual and has nothing to do with the books anymore. I really enjoyed the second movie nevertheless. And we finally got our John! Sadly he is only appears at the end of the movie and only for a few seconds but he exchanges some really soft smiles with Sherlock. So I am really hyped for a potential third movie, hopefully with more John watson content!

10. The Irregulars - TV Show. The Irregulars is a TV-show that was released on Netflix 2021 and has one season so far. I actually do not think the official description of Netflix is really accurate so i will choose another one. The Irregulars is about Sherlock Holmes who lost control over his drug use so John Watson is engaging a gang of street kids to solve crimes for him, and like that tries save his and Sherlocks reputation. The Baker Street Irregulars were allready featured in the orginial novels by ACD. Allready here they helped Holmes to solve cases from time to time. The Irregulars (the show) mostly focuses on the cases the gang has to solve. They have a supernatural twist. John and Sherlock are more supporting characters, but nevertheless center of the story. Is it gay? Yes, definitly. Slight Spoilers ahead. Beware. In this adaptation John is a) a man of color and b) gay. He is confirmed - in the show - in love with Sherlock. He admits it multiple times and he has to face no homophobia for it. Also some background characters are gay and dance, kiss and cuddle at the birthday party of the prince of Endland. On the other hand Sherlock is really straight in this adaptation. And not in the way Elementary is straight with a few sex scenes and a girlfriend. But straight straight. So there is no canon Johnlock in this adaptation…. yet? All in all this adaptation is really tragic so noone is happy in the end. Nevertheless it allready holds a special place in my heart. Not only because it is the major Sherlock Holmes adaptation where John is canonly gay. But also because this show straight- and queerbaits the audience in the most beautiful way possible. Some people say the show gets Sherlocks and John personality completly wrong but i would argue in its weird twisted it gets them better then any other adaptation i have seen so far. “Sherlock Holmes i not the work of one man, but of two.” And Royce (John Watson) is doing the most jealous, heartbreaking, love puppy faces i have ever seen. This man has an acting range. It blows me away. The only downside, especially the first three eps are really bad written, but it gets better and there is a lot of potential to develop. (i will add a better picture of these two cuties as soon as i find one)

11. BBC Sherlock - closed in 4 seasons. It was brought to my attention that many people haven’t watched BBC Sherlock these days, or never finished it. So i am finally adding BBC Sherlock here as well. It plays in modern London and every episode is 90 minutes long. But every season has only three episodes. It doesn’t really has an overall plot but more focus on the overall cases. Nevertheless Moriaty is allways in the focus of the story. Sadly I can not say it is gay. But it is great at queerbaiting. So good that even the official BBC3 twitter channel posted Johnlock shipping posts… but they never become canon in this adaptation. Also neither John nor Sherlock are confirmed queer. The show heavily plays with the idea of them being a couple without actually ever going there. John even asked Sherlock if he has a boyfriend when they first meet. But actually the close relationship they have is allways played for jokes. There are some gay side characters but all of them turn out to be evil. Nevertheless season 1 to 3 and TAB are really well written and worth a look. Season 4 is a mess full of plotholes and abonding every chemistry these two shared in favor of a straight ending.

12: Sherlock Hound - closed in two seasons.

Sherlock Hound is an anime, done by Studio Ghibli, directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Totoro etc.). It is about Holmes and Watson who happen to be dogs, in a universe where everyone is a dog. The episodes are around 25 minutes long each, and always feature one closed case. It is always Moriarty and his gang vs. Holmes/Watson. There are many throwbacks to the original ACD books, which is really lovely. Sometimes the easter eggs are hidden, sometimes they are really obvious. I only have watched the first 8 cases but so far the show is a lot of fun because every character is treated with respect, especially John. He is not the dumb side kick but a best and caring friend. So there are many soft scenes between him and Holmes. Even though it is not "gay" it is still cute to watch, especially when you enjoy a well written Holmes/Watson dynamic. But they both seem to be attracted to Mrs. Hudson? Thats what i am still really confused about. I will keep you updated.

13. Sherlock & Co - season 1 still running

Sherlock & Co is podcast, currently running on Spotify and everywhere where you can listen to podcasts. Its about John who just returned from the Ukraine, wounded and jobless. And of course he ends up in 221B together with Holmes. And they start solving cases together. The twist, John is a podcaster in this one. So he always speaks directly, to us, the audience. So its an audio book, pretending to be a podcast. Its a lot of fun. John is an akward nerd in this one, suffering from PTSD, and Sherlock has canon autism, among other diagnoses. The cases are always split in two or three parts, between 20 to 30 minutes long. Is it gay? Well.... we don't know that yet. They made Victor Trevor gay, which is big thumb ups from me, and the authors are aware of Johnlock. But if they will go there eventually? Only time will tell.

14. The Great Mouse Detective - movie

Thats a Disney movie from 1986. Sherlock and Watson are mice, living under 221B. Watson just returned from Afghanistan and is looking for a flat. He runs into a little crying girl. Her father got kidnapped by Moriarty. They go to Sherlock and together they solve the case. Its a great fun movie but also super unhinged. It has some really scary scenes, considering its a kids movie. BBC Sherlock might call himself a drama queen. THIS Sherlock here is the real drama queen. Its unbelievable. But also really funny of course. Him and Watson are really soft, Sherlock cares deeply for Watson and its really sad when he wants to leave again eventually. Nothing gay of course but a well written Holmes/Watson relationship.

So that should be all for the beginning. I hope that helped. If you want more detailed information on one of the show feel free to contact me again.

It could be that i forget a show. In this case i will add it later.

And at my fellow Sherlockians feel free to add Russian Sherlock or Rathbone Sherlock or any other adaptation i haven’t watched yet.

Note

so I just learned TODAY that RDJ was trained in classical ballet, and we all know Tom was too, so what about a rom howney au where rob is a principal dancer and tom is a freshly promoted coryphee (member of the corps de ballet that gets a solo because they're particularly talented) and he gets to work with rob and he's starstruck because rob is a LEGEND and rob thinks he's so adorable skskjjdjhfjk sorry i just really love ballerina!aus

Alright! After fucken weeks of research and delving into more ballet porn than I’d ever presumed to watch, I finally managed to fulfil this. Once again, two parter. Because you all keep requesting detailed prompts and I fucking love it and have no self control.

Also; Robert is a principle dancer/premier ballerino but also largely a teaching figure. I don’t know, I’m just so attracted to the fact that Robert is undoubtedly a role model/leader figure to everyone he meets and I couldn’t resist the fact that such a status is basically an open invite into D/s porn.

I’m so used to Starker there may be the odd slip up between names. Idk, slap me. Or not, I’ll enjoy it.

[P.2][Promo + Moodboards]

Robert had first heard of Tom Holland when he was gorging himself on wine and glazed fruits, laughing with his colleagues and friends about some reminisced story of humour. Their table was one of high honour, central to the floor and surrounded by others of similar status, and the words reached his ears from a table of prima ballerina’s to their left, voices flush with wine and loud to his senses.

“Did you see the boy, Aly? So cute! He is so small, but he moves like the water already. I am glad for my age and to be female; he will be stealing the stage soon enough”.

“You’re just soft, Lola. He’s ten; we will be old and reduced to back-dancers and teachers by the time anything comes of him. If anything comes of him. Our world is more cut-throat than even a butcher house”.

It intrigued him, but only in the general way that life and its instances did. Talk of young dancers was aplenty and everyone believed their little cousin or their younger sibling had the promise of a premier ballerino. By the time he donned his coat and staggered for his awaiting car, still flushed with laughter and clinging to Chris, the name was forgotten.

But it had risen like a ghost several times after, in the coming years. Like Robert himself the boy was a prodigy, talented and charismatic in a way that set him apart in a world so full of prospects. Your dancing meant nothing if you did it with the blank face of a corpse.

Robert had never seen the boy dance personally, but somewhere after his twenty-fifth birthday, when the boy was fifteen and blooming into a reputation, Chris shoved a phone under his nose and demanded he watched the footage.It was crisp, taken on a professional camera and was of a brightly lit studio, the reflection of the tripod and its monitoring figure noticeable in the mirrored walls.

Tom Holland danced in a way not unlike what people described of Robert. Fluid, passionate, emotive, perfect. It was enough to make Robert focus, to watch the elegant way the boy moved from wall to wall, feeling as well as hearing the music. And then it ended, and Robert’s life continued with nothing more than a modicum of respect for the boy chiselled into place.

Until now.

Robert had worked every day since the age of two to carve this place for himself in his chosen world. He had given broken bones, sleepless nights and every shred of his dedication to this career. It had rewarded him in kind; premier ballerino roles in every offer since the age of twenty and even a teaching role at the American School of Ballet; a prestigious and reputable educational dance facility where none other than his own friend now sat on the Board.

It was how the situation - and Tom’s name - had arisen. Robert could deny Chris nothing and only arched a brow when he heard about Chris’ plans for his latest performance. Robert was fresh back from Rome and a week-long performance of The Snow Prince and despite the desperate call for rest, was eager to learn of his next routine.

“The Love Born of Summer? You soppy fuck” Robert remarked, scanning the title of the file that Chris slid across the table to him. He sat back, arching a brow at his friend, who looked abashed. Good. Chris was a terrible romantic, for all his crappy history with lovers. Performances like Giselle and the god-awful Nutcracker were Chris’ favourites.

Robert did quite fine with romantic performances. Ballet was not an individual art, and the close proximity and the intimacy that came with dancing was easy to Robert. It was part of why he was so good at what he did. The fact that most of Chris’ troupe were attractive was simply an easy bonus.

Robert considered it as he stroked at the trimmed lines of his stubble, gaze sliding from Chris to the many art pieces that lined the walls of the office space. The Love Born of Summer was a largely romantic piece; based loosely on several other classics. As per standard, two star-crossed lovers endure a perilous and heartfelt journey into a romantic end.

“The routine isn’t all that different to the first time you performed it. I’ve worked out a few hitches here and there, and I’ve made it more…Dramatic. Intimate. Y’know, since you’re so fond of dancing like you’re fucking” Chris sighed, as though the words pained him despite their amused lilt. Robert could not argue his own statement. After all, what was ballet if not a sensual thing?

And what was romance, if not a sexual thing? At least for him.

“And pray tell, darling. Who am I dance-fucking this time, hm? Is it you and your biceps? I have so missed them around my thighs” Robert purred, eliciting a delightful blush that started at Chris’ ears and dipped all the way beneath the alarmingly low V of his shirt. Chris and Robert didn’t dance together half as often as they used to, with their new responsibilities, but Chris was undoubtedly one of Robert’s favourite dance partners.

Robert oft missed their time together, and here and there a brief touch of longing for their previous intimacy would linger. But Chris’ husband Sebastian was downright delightful and whilst they had their chemistry together, Robert knew that himself and Chris were better suited to a platonic love, couple-y though they might act.

Robert was a lavish lover and he ate life like a sweet dessert, forever roaming in search of new tastes and new experiences. Insatiable, no matter how ‘full’ he felt of his memories. ‘You live life like a dying man’ Chris had once told him, laying naked together in bed in Paris, the rush of their evening performance now a low ember in their veins.

“Actually…And this is the part I expected the real argument to happen…I’m bringing in someone new” Chris breathed out, tentative and braced. Robert’s brow hitched higher in alarm. Chris was a creature of comfort and familiarity. New was not something he delighted in. It was part of why they worked better as friends.

“Pending, of course, your approval. He is my primary choice, but I do have a second prospect. My first pick, however…He’s good. Good enough that he just got accepted as a full time student here. He comes with recommendations from Paris and Greece. Young, but…He reminds me of you”. The last part was said almost wistfully, and Robert was overcome with the urge to flick him between the eyes and say I’m not dead yet, you moron.

“My. Your face is shoved so far into this new one’s ass I almost forgot you prefer to bottom” Robert sighed, rising gracefully to his feet and aiming for the coffee maker. He could feel the heat of Chris’ blush from across the room. During their time together they had shared the positions, neither too strict on preference. With Sebastian, however, Chris was exclusively the bottom. Robert had asked about it once, seated on their couch with Jeremy snug between his thighs and half-snoring, the group drunk on dark red and bourbon.

Sebastian had simply smiled slyly and lounged back, thighs falling apart to reveal the sizeable bulge at his pelvis. Robert had mocked and coaxed and eventually Sebastian had stood, striding over and unbuckling his belt to push Robert’s cheek to the firm flesh there, howling with laughter at his sputtering. Chris had been the same colour as the wine by the time his boyfriend had returned to his seat, and Sebastian had forever been nicknamed Pony in honour of the beast between his legs.

“Spit out the name, then” Robert coaxed, before Chris could lecture him on biding his tongue. It was wasted breath anyway; Robert’s silver tongue and sense of humour was practically the baseline of his entire personality.

“Tom Holland” Chris replied, voice distant as he opened the file and begun to pour over it, already back to business. It was why Chris was on the Board and Robert was merely an honorary teacher. Robert nearly poured the coffee over his hand and not into his cup at the name, frowning as he turned.

“Isn’t he like…Fifteen?” He questioned, head tilting as he lifted the hot liquid to his lips with a soft sound of approval. He liked his coffee as black as his sins, with just enough sugar to chase away the bitter taste. Chris looked up, appearing perplexed.

“He’s eighteen. He’s ten years your minor” Chris pointed out, and Robert wrinkled his nose. He was no stranger to working with children; some as young as aged six. But such a young partner for a romantic piece? It settled oddly on his bones and he cocked his head further. His youngest partner for a romantic piece had been twenty-three, a snarky Russian girl who danced like it was a fight to the death.

“He’s young” Chris agreed, leaning back and crossing his arms thoughtfully. “But hes good, Tony. When I said he reminds me of you…This boy went to Greece at fourteen with the Troupe de Ballet. He’s toured America at sixteen. I’ve seen him dance in person. It’s…An art. Truly. I know he’s young, but his style…He’s made for it. And you two? Together? It would be iconic. An undeniably beautiful act”.

Chris had that look in his eye, as though he were seeing the answer to life. It quelled any argument that Robert might have had, little though it was. Chris was so passionate about his work, about ballet. And when he set his respects to a certain person; Robert was all but helpless to agree. And so he did, sipping his coffee and looking thoughtful for a moment.

“I will watch him dance. If I feel like we will work…We will work” he agreed, lifting his coffee up and to safety when Chris rushed him for a hug, tight and loving. The force of it lifted Robert to his toes and he wrapped an arm low at Chris’ waist for balance, thumb stroking the corded muscle that lay over his hip.

“The things I do for you” he sighed, as though put upon, but his smile was too broad too be contained.

Tom Holland arrived the following Monday, the hallways of the school alive with vibrant speculation and chatter about the new-comer. ‘He’s prettier than any girl’ he heard one boy say, striding down the hallway with a friend. ‘I’ve heard that he’s going to be world-famous soon, and that he’s almost as good as Sir Robert’ squealed a girl, lacing her pumps so tight that his own ankle twinged in sympathy.

Robert had elected not to research the boy, in order to have a fresh opinion. He vaguely recalled the odd snippets he had seen. From what he remembered the boy was rather small, but lithe. Dark hair. Brown, perhaps. Or a dirty blonde? He remembered elegance and passion in his movements, but no specific details.

He had commanded that the boy perform in room A:13, a very specific location, for it was conjoined to a secret viewing room. Robert had converted it himself, utilising an old storeroom and its neighbouring closet to create a double-mirrored set up that allowed for secret observation. Robert liked to watch how people moved when they were unaware they were being watched.

Chris had admitted the boy had no idea that he was doing a performance yet, or that he was working with Robert. Potentially, Robert had reminded him. He had slipped inside the hidden room whilst Chris had gone to fetch the kid, and was scrolling mindlessly through his phone when he heard the door snick open, the echoing footfalls in the studio.

He looked up.

The boy was slender, somewhere between tall and short. It was hard to tell, really, when his only comparison was how he looked besides Chris, who towered above almost every man. Lithe and with a practised grace. He stepped lightly, twirling this way and that as he looked around the room. Robert tried not to look, really, but it was impossible to miss the slender calves, the supple thighs. The ass that curved out, lavish and thick, like a girls’.

And his face. Even from afar, Robert could see the beauty. The smooth cheeks and the browbone. The line of his jaw and the milkiness of his skin, all topped with a thick, generous mop of neatly brushed curls. The boy was talking to Chris, too quiet to hear, but pleasant, by the look on Chris’ face. After a short conversation, Chris stepped away, back through the doors, and the boy was alone.

Chris entered besides Robert as the boy sunk to the floor, liquid in his fluidity. He begun to stretch his legs, and Robert was loathe to turn his gaze away. “I told him to practise alone, first. That I would come back for him in fifteen minutes”. Wise, Robert had to admit. Without prompting, many students left alone would merely pick a perch and play games on their phones. Tom, however….

Tom folded himself in a perfect half, cheek resting on the floor, toes in a pointe. He must’ve done some stretching beforehand, because the flexibility was flawless, easy. It was all Robert could do to turn back, to nod approvingly at Chris. “He seems dedicated” he remarked, leaning against the wall-hold as he watched.

“I’d dare say as much as you” Chris sent back, and Robert gave a wry smile. You got nowhere without dedication, in this profession. Nowhere without blood, sweat and tears. Robert himself had cracked bones and torn skin to show for his skill. He looked back to Tom, who was stood now, using a handrail to balance on one set of toes, the other leg stretched in a perfect vertical to his side. Robert almost lost his breath.

The boy stretched for ten of the fifteen minutes, moving around the studio as easy as breathing, as fluid as water. He was frighteningly flexible, and agile to boot. They watched in silence for the most part, bar the odd murmur of approval from Chris. And then the boy shifted, shedding the tiny, zip-up hoodie that he’d been wearing. It revealed a pale, pink bodysuit, the light grey, tiny shorts that stretched for dear life over..

Robert cleared his throat, and watched as the boy pulled a phone from the hoodie, scrolling quickly. It turned out not be a break, however, but a search for music. The piece was some classical rendition of a pop song, though Robert couldn’t place it. The boy re-set it, and the music paused for a time, long enough for Tom to take position in the middle of the room.

Bowed, of sorts. One leg stretched out behind, arms extended to the side, body arched elegantly, head ducked. He paused there, breathing, taut. And then the music begun and Tom let himself unfold like a spring flower. It amazed Robert, how easily the boy captured attention and compliment. The world was stuffed full of dancers. The list of ballet names endless and overflowing. To stand out was near impossible. These days it relied on where you performed and whom you knew. What strings you could pull.

And yet.

Tom moved as they his body belonged to the music, floating through the room like sound. Robert found himself enthralled, lost as Tom danced. Closer, in snaking patterns. The closer he got, the prettier he became, Robert realised with a sinking lament. Far away beauty became undeniable, clearer. Wide eyes and thick lashes that framed them like kohl. A slender body, lithe with sleek muscle.

Closer, he danced. Spinning in pirouettes and transitioning to graceful tour en l'airs, spine straight and landing with impeccable balance. The boy’s slow, seductive extension into an arabesque left Robert gripping for purchase, hand closing around a riding crop nearby. They were common use in ballet, like spirit meters to a builder.

Chris cast him a sidelong glance, but remained silent.

Closer, closer. The boy sped up as he danced, in time to the crescendo of the music, whipping from position to position, movement to movement. Robert realised belatedly that the boy was heading straight for them, a series of spins and extensions bringing him to them.

The boy twisted gracefully, hitting the railing with perfectly timed momentum grasping the bar with both hands. It brought him face to face with the double sided mirror and the boy paused there, panting for breath with wide, curious eyes. As the boy heaved for air he slowly, slowly tipped his head, staring unknowingly into Robert’s eyes.

Then a trembling hand reached up, slow and cautious, fingertips dancing briefly against the glass, as though touching Robert’s face from the other side. And then he was gone, back to the middle of the room.

Robert tipped his head, watching the boy fall to rest, and thwacked the crop against his calf, nodding once. “I will take him” he announced, turning away from the mirrored wall. Chris hastened to slide past him, striding ahead of him through the corridor to the studio entrance, where he pushed through. The boy was standing, stretching out a leg slowly in a perfect, 180 penché.

“I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting, Tom. I just had to-” Chris’ voice was cut off by Tom’s startled gasp. Robert could see his eyes were brown, now. Light and like honey. He was devastatingly pretty up close and in person, eyes blown wide and his mouth open, dark pink lips in a pretty, perfect circle.

The boy pitched forwards, balance shot and arms flailing. Robert, already halfway through the door, beat Chris to lunging forwards. He fell to his knees, sliding across the polished floor and wrapping his arms around Tom’s torso as the boy came down. He was vaguely aware that this was some sort of Dirty Dancing shit, but arms closing around a slender, trim waist, he couldn’t care.

The boys palms hit the floor and he went lax in Robert’s grip, head tipping back to look up at him in astonishment. ‘Pretty’ Robert could only think, gazing back at him. He let the boy go slowly, allowing him to slide off his thigh and onto the cool floor. Above them Chris stood gaping, clearly unsure of where to continue.

“You’re - Oh my god. Why are you - You’re Robert Downey Jr” the boy mewled, looking equally delighted and distressed. Robert arched a brow, slow and sarcastic as he shifted, elegantly switching his legs to the side. He became vaguely aware of Chris joining them in sitting on the floor, and spared a moment to be amused by the scenario.

“If we’re going to be working together, you should pay heed to your balance. I’m too old for dramatic Swayze style slides, these days” he quipped, and took pleasure in the way the boy fumbled again, seemingly at a loss for words. He was used to the odd starstruck fan, the whispers and the excitement of the younger dancers. The awe. But this? Losing in ability to simply move in his presence?

“Working…?” The boy wheezed, moving from hands and knees to sit cross-legged before him, fingers wringing nervously in his lap. It was then that Chris got his swing back, casting Robert an accusing glance, as though rendering the boy useless was his motive.

“I…May have no been entirely honest, when I invited you here” Chris admitted, and Robert delighted in a scandalised gasp, feigning horror. Tom gave a brilliant, dazzling grin, glancing at him in delight before looking back at Chris, curiously. “You are here to perform, I didn’t lie about that. But you will be performing a duet. With Robert”.

Tom looked like he might pass out.

“With…But he’s…And I’m just…”

“Extremely talented” Robert cut in, leaning back on his palms. “And I would be honoured to work alongside you”.

Tom’s breath hitched loudly, and for a brief moment Robert was concerned that he had actually swallowed his tongue. But then he wheezed out a breath and Robert relaxed a fraction, lifting a brow. He was used to the minor freak outs of his colleagues. The panic of working alongside an idol, but.

“Keep going, kiddo. You’re doing wonders for my ego” he purred, and watched how the milky, pale skin went a violent shade of pink. Frankly, the kid was a sin personified. Chris had to know this was a bad idea. Robert had no filter and no shame. He had to know this kid ticked all of his boxes.

Or…Perhaps he did, and this was some kind of cruel and unusual punishment for all the stress. Or perhaps this was the promised revenge for that time Robert was convinced that peppermint would make blowjobs more interesting.

“I don’t understand” the boy whispered after a moment, chewing at his lower lip as he looked between them. Robert wanted to draw him in, to smooth the furrow set between his brows. Chris merely offered one of those soft, open smiles.

“I’d like you and Robert to be the two premier ballerinos of my performance at The Royal House of Dance. If you accept, you will star alongside Robert in The Love Born of Summer. You as Peter and Robert as Tony” he explained softly. Tom blew out a deep exhale, eyes still wide. He looked at Robert for a long moment, gaze thoughtful.

“I…I mean, of course. Yes. I accept” the boy rushed out after a moment, leaning forwards in his excitement. Chris beamed, clapping his hands in delight and reaching out to slap Robert on the shoulder. He had his star duet. His beautiful act.

“Amazing! Right! Well, I have some paperwork that I need to sort out, and I need to confirm your names for the venue and the marketing department, so. I’ll let you two sit for a bit. Have a chat, ask questions, that sort of thing. I’d say we’ll be ready to begin practise say…Friday?” He asked, looking between them as he pushed himself to his feet. For all his height, he unfurled with the same poise as any other dancer.

It was Monday today, which gave them three days to settle. Three days for Tom to get antiquated with the school and with Robert. And for the vice versa, though Robert knew his night would likely be taken up with a generous helping of bourbon and his fist.

Tom bid the man a soft goodbye, still all shy smiles and scrunched up in delight. Robert wanted to squeeze him, but he settled for pushing to his feet, suggesting that they talk whilst they stretch out. He expected the boy to protest, to say he was already warned up. He didn’t.

“Yes, Mr. Downey” the boy murmured obligingly, and shifted to his feet, copying Robert in beginning with a simple set of leg extensions. Loathe as he was to admit it, the words sent a tingle down his spine, and he folded over slowly, touching his palms to the floor in the hopes of hiding his reaction.

“Why do you speak funny?” He asked after a moment, and he could see from the corner of his eye the way the boy startled, looking across at him owlishly.

“…Funny?” The boy repeated in confusion, folding over to match the pose.

“Yeah, like, this kind of funny” Robert replied, mimicking the lilt of his voice, the dip in pronunciation, his nose scrunching. Tom giggled across from him, cheeks blaring pink once more.

“That’s…My voice. I’m not American” Tom responded, his voice pitching into a perfect, northern accent, not unlike Robert’s. The older man snorted in amusement as he straightened, and begun to stretch his arms. He resolutely did not face Tom, but the mirror-lined walls made it hard not to see him at all.

“So you can speak a full sentence” he remarked, and delighted in the way the boy curled in on himself shyly, gaze dropping to the floor. God. Adorable.

They talked as they stretched, snippets of conversation and getting to know each other. Tom, as it turned out, was a huge fan of Robert, had been since he was a boy, and he even apologised when Robert quipped about feeling old. He was insufferably sweet.

Chris came back somewhere after an hour, clutching a thin stack of papers in one hand, and a tray of coffee in the other. There was the usual paperwork for now enrolments, and the usual for performances. Safety papers, payment agreements and the like. Robert signed them all with practised ease and an artful flick of his wrist.

Tom read over each sheet carefully, the tip of a tiny, pink tongue caught between his teeth. Chris patiently explained each one, and the process took another hour. By which time Robert was suitably dying of boredom, entertaining himself by prodding Chris now and then.

“Okay. I think I’ve fried your brain enough for today, Tom. You can go ahead and call it quits. I can get this paperwork filed tonight, and you can show up at any time over the next three days. Have a walk around, chat to people, that sort of thing. We’ll begin the real work on Friday, when I’ll introduce you to the performance and my ideas”.

Chris left them from there, parting ways with a firm handshake for Tom and a familiar, tight hug for Robert, leaving the two alone as Tom dipped to one knee, scooping up his hoodie and his phone. Robert lingered for a moment, shuffling where he stood. Tom looked surprised to see him, when he stood, shrugging carefully into his hoodie.

“I’ll be here tomorrow around noon, for practise. If you want a familiar face” Robert offered, extending his hand. Tom looked surprised once more, eyeing his hand carefully before reaching out. In contrast to his, Tom’s hand was tiny. Long, slender fingers, unmarred by callouses. Tom was rather petite in general, Robert noted. Erring more on just under ‘tall’. But he was no more fragile, muscles coiling under his smooth skin.

He had a firm grip, too, and he avoided Robert’s gaze as they shook hands. Robert found it rather endearing, and he left the boy there, spinning on his heel to march steadily out to the parking lot. He needed a drink. And some lube.

Tom found him on the Tuesday. Or rather, Tom did a neat face-plant into his chest, on the Tuesday. Robert had been striding the hallway, heading for his usual studio space when a barrage of red and blue had come from the corner. Robert ha just enough time to lift his phone out of the way, allowing his sternum to take the brunt.

“Oh my Go- Aw, no. Mr. Downey! I’m so sorry!”.

Ah.

“A curious method of greeting people. A British custom, is it?” Robert teased, tucking his phone away as Tom took a step backwards, rubbing at his jaw. The boy huffed a laugh, delicate and high, and Robert took a moment to observe him. He wore royal blue shorts, lined with a bright red. A matching, cropped gym shirt stretched over his chest, though no skin was bared, thanks to the high waist of the shorts.

Tom accompanied him to the studio, tucking up in a corner with his phone and observing as Robert begun to stretch. They talked idly, easily. Tom asked questions about Robert’s career and his ballet past, and in return answered whatever Robert could throw at him, from his preference in herbal teas to his favourite move.

Robert caught the boy staring several times, with a poorly concealed hunger. It was not the same feral expression of lust as most, but a quiet thing. Deep and glittering in those whiskey eyes. Robert was shameless to admit that he stretched for longer than he normally would, folding and bending in exaggerated ways. The boy tracked each movement. It was flattering. Exciting.

“And you’ve no qualms about a romantic performance with a man?” He asked as he dove forwards into a slow handstand. He went into a pointe position and bent one leg steeply, holding his weight. Tom was no less attractive from odd angles, he found.

“I…Should hope not? I mean, it would be rather hypocritical of me, as a gay man, to object to a homosexual romantic performance” Tom pointed out. It was only Robert’s elbows that saved his face from an unfortunate meeting with the floor, and it was his turn to eye the boy in astonishment.

“A valid point” he replied easily, and moved along to question the boy’s preference in music. He couldn’t deny the way his mind whispered, though. Dark and dirty things that he tried hard to ignore, putting extra effort into pushing his body. Contrary to the things his mind brought forwards, he was not a predator. Nor a creep. The boy being gay meant nothing.

Tease though he would, Robert was a man of respect and dignity. He stopped at any sign of discomfort, and his hands never strayed from safe bounds. Close friends excluded, of course. With those and their tolerance of his personality, drink nights oft suffered wandering hands and crude remarks. From all sides.

Tom didn’t ask if it bothered him. He had no need. Robert had been proudly out as a pansexual man since his early days of performing, and had never bothered to hide or diminish his sexuality. He had a preference for men, though his lavish appetite was not limited. He had several remarkable relationships with women in his past, and his love extended to all.

Tom wandered away before Robert begun to dance, reluctantly admitting that he ought to find Chris. He lingered in the doorway, though, half-twisted to watching longingly as Robert settled into his beginning position. Robert met his gaze in the mirror and winked wolfishly, his chuckles drowned by his music as Tom went a fierce shade of red and practically leapt from the room.

Sebastian came strolling in, some three hours later. He carried a takeout bag of food, and a large bottle of water. “There was an honest to God twink in Chris’ office” he announced as he entered, and Robert’s laughter made his landing wonky.

The bag contained a generous helping of beef salad, with a low-fat muffin as dessert, and Robert ate as he listened to Sebastian rave about the tiny, pretty little thing he’d found curled up in Steve’s office chair.

“No boy has any business being that adorable” Sebastian pointed out, and Robert agreed around a hearty mouthful of baked good. They lamented it at some length, comparing poetic on Tom’s eyes and voice and ass before Robert decided practise had been done enough today, and so had gossip.

“Can you even dance with a boner? Is that possible?” Sebastian asked loudly, as they headed for the door, swinging it open to reveal a rather embarrassed and stunned looking Tom on the other side, one hand extended for the door. Robert made no effort to hold back his howl of laughter as Sebastian’s shoulders slumped.

Author: @sabine-leo

Chapter: 13 /?

Genre: Fluff, Humor, Romance

Special Guests: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans & Robert Downey Jr.

Note: THANK YOU so much for all your lovely comments!! You really made my day (and night) I hope you like this chapter too!!!

Chapter 13

His appearance almost knocked you of your feet. You got hot and cold flashes but you weren’t the only one having trouble to process what was in front of you! Tom was wearing a well-cut black suit with a tie and a white dress shirt. He looked as if he´d fallen out of a best dressed magazine. Only his face was not picture perfect in its state of shock. Ben seemed to think otherwise as he took a picture of him. Laughing tears with Chris joining him.

“Oh this is good, this is sooo good!”

Tom shook out of his stupor first. Making long strides to cover the distance between you. His voice was hoarse as he said your name.

“(Y/N)…You are here!” he declared and the shock turned into a blissful smile. It seemed to be the theme of the evening. You could only nod…again.

Tom took you in his arms and hugged you very close.

“I can´t believe you pulled that stunt on me!” He laughed and leaned back to look into your eyes.

“Oh darling, you look stunning! It´s so good to see you in person again!”

Toms hands tried to stay clear of your naked back but for a single chaste stroke down your spine with his index finger. You had quite an audience and Tom blushed a little as some catcalls came his way. “Let me introduce you first, and then I think I need a drink!” he laughed and hugged you one last time. Your body seemed to fall apart on the inside. Your heart beating out of your chest and your legs wobbly and unsure. But all that didn´t matter as you saw the look on Toms face again.

He was really happy to see you.

Talk about starstruck. You met a lot of his co workers in just under half an hour. After your initial speechlessness you composed yourself, thanks to Tom standing next to you and starting of conversations. Soon you got more relaxed and actually could enjoy the meetings. All of his co stars you met were kind and nice and fairly normal to talk to. The party got off to a great start.

As Tom had to talk to a producer you went over to Sarah and sat next to her. She grinned and said “Thanks for helping me out, this was so much fun to watch!” You laughed with her and relaxed for a moment at not having the attention of those big shots in Hollywood. The official part was over quickly and the party started to get more relaxed and fun. The dance floor was opened and the bar was busy. Seemed as if everybody was happy to let go of the stress they´d had the last couple of weeks.

Tom was whisked away quite a bit from all different people, but when he was with you, he smiled and touched you chastely almost every chance he got. Some people joined you and Sarah, watching the shenanigans going on. Chris and Bens wife’s for example. You had a good talk with them and laughed at the story’s they told about their husbands and Tom.

Somewhere in between Chris whisked his wife away for a dance. And the empty chair next to you was soon occupied by Chris Evans.

“Oh no!” Sarah declared. “That look on his face… he´s up to no good!” she laughed.

But before she could warn you further Chris took your hand and said

“Hi, wanna dance? We got introduced earlier and I seem to be the only one who hasn’t got a partner to dance around here. Tom still got his sister.. so…” He grinned and you had no time to answer before he whirled you of your chair and onto the dancefloor.

In that moment, Tom sat down next to his sister, watching what was happening.

“Evans, I swear one day I will get revenge!” Sarah laughed and leaned her head on his shoulders.

“It´s good to see you again brother. Even when you are annoyed with your co-stars.”

Tom laughed and kissed his sisters head. “Thank you for being here and bringing (Y/N) with you. I missed you…even though you are playing pranks on me.”

You couldn´t believe it, but you had fun dancing with Chris. It was a fast dance and he just spun you around before dancing opposite of you. Soon you were joined by the other Chris, his wife and Ben. Robert Downey Jr cheering at the men on a microphone he took over from the DJ. Evans began to play dirty and motioned as if taking of his shirt and giving you a lap dance

“I think it´s time for me to join them!” Tom declared and stood up. “Excuse me.”

Sarah giggled and nodded.

As Tom entered the dancefloor you looked into his eyes. Crying for help but laughing. But then again, his gaze was so intent that you didn´t know what would unease you more. Evans giving you an eyeful of a dance or standing in front of Tom who looked as if he wanted to…yeah, what was that look on his face exactly?

“And here he is. Tom Snake Hips Hiddleston!!” RDJ announced into the microphone.

“Evans, you got company! I´ll help you out my boy! Tom, get ready for a dance off!”

But Tom just laughed at RDJ and took your hand

“Excuse us Evans, but she´s here with me, can´t let you have her all for your own.”

Chris laughed and faced Tom off.

“You were busy, so I took my chance.” Tom grinned and said

“Ok, let her chose the next dance partners.”

“That’s unfair Hiddleston you know she´ll choose you. You´re friends!”

Tom laughed. “Exactly”

You didn´t know what got into you but you said.

“Actually. I would like you two to dance together and make up. I need a break!” As the music was killed somewhere in between everybody heard that.

“Oh! I like her!” RDJ announced and started to play a slow song.

“Hug it out boys!”

Toms eyes grew wide but he laughed out loud, throwing his head back. “I really missed you!”

“You sure about that? she’s mean!” Evans asked him but grinned.

“You are not getting a lap dance Hiddleston!” He declared but started to slow dance with Tom anyhow. For about 10 seconds…then Tom cut himself loose and was in front of you again.

“Help me out for once?!” he grinned and took you in his arms, starting to dance with you.

You went willingly and smiled up on him

“Sorry, that was too easy a tease to waste.”

Tom just shook his head laughing and the both of you slow danced for 30 seconds.

“Sorry folks, it´s a party, not a snoozefest!” RDJ hollered and faster music came on again.

Tom let go of you and took your hand in his. “Let´s go outside for a bit.” The smile on his lips was so lovely you just nodded in adoration. Everywhere were people but you found a relatively quiet spot to sit down. The sparks you had seen in his eyes as he had come for you on the dancefloor were gone. He was just content to have you near him and talk to you. As you were too. You sat close to each other and talked about everything that came to mind. Until you were joined by his friends again and the conversation got side-tracked in favour of some fun with the others.

It really was a great Party, you had fun and couldn´t help to smile at all the memories you made that night. In the wee morning hours the party came to an end and you walked back to your room.

Tom by your side and a drunken Evans behind you.

“This is me.” You said and keyed open your door.

Evans grunted “Ha! next door is mine. But I think it’d be willing to share yours as I can´t find my key…” Tom rolled his eyes and ushered you inside your room, following you inside and closing the door...in front of Evans nose

“Hey.. that´s rude Hiddleston, I can´t sleep in the hall!”

Tom sounded playfully exasperated as he said “The key is in your hand Evans!”

“Oh!” was a happy response and you heard shuffling.

Tom looked at you “I´m so sorry, but I had to take action, otherwise he would be snoring on your bed already.” You laughed and touched his arm “It´s fine, really. Better that way as if you just had pushed me in and closed the door in my face without saying good night!”

Tom looked nauseated “I would never do such a thing!”

“I know Tom, hence it´s totally fine that you came in.”

You were standing in front of each other in that little hallway to your room, leaning at a wall each. “So I guess this is good night then…” Tom said and looked in your eyes.

“More like good morning, but I’m tired anyway.”

Tom laughed, leaned in and placed a kiss on your cheek. “Sleep well (Y/N)”

“You too Tom!” You stroked down his arm that had taken a hold on your hip.

With a little sigh he opened the door. “See you later?”

“Of course.”

A knock sounded at a locked joining door to the other room.

“Hey there, can I come over?!” it was Evans voice.

Toms eyes darkened a moment before he looked at you.

“That´s it, take what you need with you, you´re sleeping in my room!”

There was no room for discussion in his eyes and voice.

Note: A gif was asked for for the moment he sees you :) I think something like would fit :)

🎄Heartwarming🎄

Characters: Negan x Reader

Warnings: fluff

Summary: Your all alone for Christmas and are feeling pretty down, maybe your grinch of a neighbor would like to join you?

Notes: this is my secret fic exchange for @daisysouthmoore MERRY CHRISTMAS HUN 🎄🎁

Thank you @annablack1102 for holding this absolutely amazing exchange 💝💝

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

“Now sweetheart, ya can't spend Christmas alone...its not…”

You sighed moving into the kitchen “I'm not gonna spend it alone mom, I got…” your voice trailed off as you got lost watching your neighbor curse and yell as he shoveled the snow from his sidewalk. The vibration from your phone causing you to blink back to reality and look at the new message, a frown forming on your face.

Of course Michonne would cancel, she had her hot fiance to cuddle with during Christmas. Apparently he got back early and now you'd be sticking it out by yourself.

How pathetic was that?

“Y/N?! Sweetheart, you there?!!...hello??”

Clearing your throat, you quickly lifted the phone back to your ear, closing your eyes with a fake smile “yes mom, I'm ok...I invited a couple friends over and we're gonna spend Christmas together”. Listening to her continue to worry about you and tell you what to do to be safe was tiresome, but you loved her for it. Letting out a light laugh you shook your head “mom I'll be ok, I'm not going anywhere in this weather, you and dad got nothin’ to worry about. I love you both, ok?”

“Well we love you too sweetheart, just please give us a call before you'd go to sleep or something ok?...just so I can rest easy?”

You nodded “ok...love you”.

“Love you too honey”.

Tapping the red bar on your phone, you sighed rubbing your eyes before a loud crash made you jump “what the hell is he doing over there?!” You growled moving back to the window.

Negan was your next door neighbor, fine as hell, but just about as cuddly as a cactus. Him and his wife had gone through a pretty bad rough patch right before she got diagnosed with cancer. The whole story was pretty scandalous and sad when you thought about it, but everybody somehow knew about it.

Honestly it was no wonder he wasn't the most approachable person, his life was a train wreck.

Pulling back your curtain your eyes widened in disbelief before you covered your mouth to stifle a giggle. Negan was on his porch cursing and swinging a baseball bat around at a bunch of carolers, who looked like they were either going to piss themselves or already had.

“GET THE FUCK OFF MY GODDAMN YARD!!!” he roared just missing one of their heads before they all managed to scurry off his lawn unscathed.

Continuing to giggle at the whole thing, your heart suddenly fell in your stomach when his dark eyes met yours, steam huffing out of his nose like a bull before he stormed back into his house.

Backing away from the window holding your phone to your chest, you ran your other hand down your face as your cheeks turned red. Shit, he saw you. He looked mad. What if he came to your door rantin’ and raving about how you should mind your own damn business?

Worrying your bottom lip, the sudden beep from the oven made you quickly forget about your ill tempered neighbor and focus on your lonely Christmas dinner, and not burning your damn house down.

****

Once all the food was set out on the table, you let out a small sigh. You had cooked more than just for yourself in preparation for Michonne, Maggie and Carol but of course they all had canceled, either because of the weather or because the had families to spend the holidays with.

Chewing the inside of your cheek in thought, you looked over your shoulder before making a decision and grabbing your coat.

The short walk next door was just enough time for you to regret your decision, your gloved hand hovering above the red wood of his front door as the wind and snow whipped around you. Biting your lip, you finally gave the cold wood a solid knock, doing it three more times before the door opened against the chain lock “da fuck you want?!”

Negan's hazel eyes narrowed at you through the crack in the door, his house and what you could see of inside were completely devoid of Christmas decorations.

“I-I….I um..uh..i just... just wanted to invite you over for Christmas d-dinner...ya know if you're free?” you managed to stammer out as you rubbed your hands together.

Negan seemed to look you up and down suspiciously before finally shutting the door once more, your heart sinking to your stomach before you heard the chain rattle against the door. Smiling softly as it opened revealing him in his leather jacket and red scarf “don't need me to bring anything right?” He growled.

“N-No I got everything, made too much for myself and...well...everyone else canceled”.

He chuckled softly “sorry ya had to settle for me”.

You shook your head as you moved to open your door “I didn't settle for anything Negan, I just felt nobody should be alone for Christmas ya know?” Pushing through the door, you took your scarf off before noticing Negan still standing outside the door.

Clearing his throat, he lifted his gaze to the mistletoe hanging above the door before arching his eyebrow at you.

Scrambling to the door, you quickly snatched the sprig of leaf from the wooden hook, shoving it in your pocket with a deep blush “oh...I um...sorry”. Negan smirked before moving into the house, taking his scarf and leather jacket off “nice place”.

“Thank you” you smiled softly before moving into the kitchen, what was it about this man that had you acting like the virgin prom date.

Getting him a cup of hot chocolate and showing him to the living room so you could finish up, You quickly set the table and took a deep breath. Fixing your hair and checking your reflection, you smiled before approaching the doorway “ok, it's ready”.

***

Dinner went pleasantly smooth, Negan wasn't that much of a talker and didn't seem that into the holidays. But he wasn't rude or offputting like he normally was, honestly he just seemed sad.

“So what do you do?” You asked curiously as you sipped your third alcoholic eggnog recipe, Negan was on his fourth and getting more and more talkative by the second.

“Oh I teach the little shits on the hill” he grumbled downing the rest of his drink “gym teacher” he clarified. You smiled with a light giggle “I wouldn't of guessed that, you don't seem the patient type”.

Negan chuckled licking his bottom lip “I'm not”, his hazel eyes stared deep into yours making your cheeks heat up.

“Ya know we've been neighbors for a few years now Y/N and you've never invited me over...hell, ya hardly spare me a goddamn glance”. Resting his elbows on the table, he raised an eyebrow in question “so spare me the bullshit will ya, we both know the only reason I'm here is because ya had nobody else to be with”.

Your eyes widened “n-no...no, honestly I just…” you bit your lip looking down “you scare me Negan...in case ya haven't noticed, you're a little intimidating”.

Negan frowned but nodded “my um...well I'm sure you've heard thestory”. You nodded, who hadn't heard about Negan and Lucille? It was practically town history. He sighed, running his hand down his mouth “well, all that shit went down around the holidays...guess it kinda destroyed the whole Christmas thing for me”.

Frowning, you reached your hand out to slide over his “I'm sorry….really, I am”.

Negan looked down at your hands for a moment before smiling softly “not your fault sweetheart...honestly bein’ invited over here…” he shook his head letting his smile widen “this really means alot”.

You smiled before getting to your feet, tugging him up with you as ‘all I want for Christmas is you’ started playing softly from the other room. “Dance with me Mr. Grinch” you giggled as he smiled down at you, wrapping your arms around his neck with a bright smile.

Sliding his hands around your waist, he smiled before resting his chin ontop of your head gently swaying your bodies to the music. You closed your eyes getting lost in the warm and comforting moment, the feeling of his large frame encircling yours making you feel safe.

“ya know, you're not as cold hearted as people think Negan” you sighed, snuggling your face into his warm chest “you're actually pretty warm”.

Negan chuckled “maybe it's just the company”, feeling something in your pocket, he slowly slipped the sprig of mistletoe from your Jean's. The corner of his lips quirking up in a smirk as he lifted it above your head “did ya have this planned for anyone in particular?”

Looking up at the plant, you bit your lip with a small smile “it was um...more for my friends, they uh...all had dates”.

Negan leaned down to brush his nose against hers slowly “shame to let it go to waste”.

Sliding your hands from his neck to cup his cheeks, you stood up on your tiptoes to kiss him slowly, your eyes falling shut as his followed suite. The world seemed to heat up around you, the sound of the soft music filling your ears as the hand not holding the mistletoe slid moved to cradle your ribs.

Pulling back slowly, your tongue slid over your bottom lip with a breathy giggle “wow...Merry Christmas to me”.

Negan chuckled kissing you again, the action short and sweet “best Christmas I've ever had sweetheart”.

You smiled brightly, wrapping your arms around him tightly “mine too”. Lost in the warmth of his embrace and the comfort of his presence, softly you began to sing, closing your eyes.

“I won't ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow. I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe. I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick. I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click. 'Cause I just want you here tonight holding on to me so tight, What more can I do? Baby all I want for Christmas is you”.

endgame review (spoilers!!!)

okay so now that i’ve finally stopped crying and had a good night’s sleep here are all of my thoughts on avengers endgame:

things i liked:

the opening scene with clint losing his wife and kids -- my heart was in my throat the whole time; i felt so so bad for him

nebula and tony bonding

steve getting rid of that beard like thank god

tony and pepper reuniting

tony FINALLY telling steve off for everything; as a lifelong tony stan this was super cathartic

scott reuniting with cassie; in fact, all of scott’s scenes were awesome

bonus - the fact that the only reason any of this was able to happen was because a rat accidentally turned the machine back on

the fact that tony got married to pepper!!! and had a daughter!!! he was such a good dad to baby morgan i loved it

carol’s new haircut 👌 👌 👌

tony looking at peter’s picture 😭 😭😭

“shit :)”

“i love you 3000″

all of the time travel scenes. did the rules make sense? nope. did i love seeing the crew go back in time to all of the previous avengers movies and see their past selves and fuck around with the timeline? absolutely.

going off that -- getting to see all the minor characters like jane and frigga and hank was awesome. i loved the entire time heist plot.

loki making fun of cap by transforming into him

“hail hydra” followed by that smirk (and the fact that they made fun of the whole hydra!cap thing was awesome)

the cap vs cap fight

thor getting to talk to his mother

tilda swinton’s character and bruce talking. seeing her again was def a surprise.

nebula and gamora talking and teaming up to fuck thanos over. karen gillam was great in this film.

tony getting to talk to his father (and the fact that the code name he used was howard potts like??? i cry)

“we’re a long way from budapest” be still my 2013 clintasha heart

the new infinity gauntlet being made out of tony’s iron man hand

the fact that they brought everyone back without fucking up the timeline. i was so worried they’d have to erase tony’s kid from existence but they didn’t so thank god.

steve wielding mjolnir. ngl that was pretty cool.

EVERYONE COMING BACK!!! (i knew it was coming. everyone knew it was coming. but it was still great to see.)

steve saying “avengers assemble”

PETER AND TONY’S REUNION!!! (i waited an entire fucking year for this and it was WORTH IT)

PEPPER FIGHTING ALONGSIDE TONY!!! HOPE FIGHTING ALONGSIDE SCOTT!!! battle couple goals :D

“hey peter parker”

“i am inevitable.” “i am...iron man.” S O B B I N G

tony’s death. like am i sad that tony died??? 150%. but it made narrative sense, he got to be happy with his kid and pepper (for however brief of a time), he found the loophole in time travel that allowed him to save everybody, and he dusted thanos. “you can rest now.” 😭😭😭 a fitting ending for the strongest avenger.

the entire funeral scene. the viking funeral wreath thing with the “proof tony stark has a heart” on it??? GOOD SHIT. i was bawling.

happy and morgan. that kid’s going to have happy wrapped around her little finger.

tony’s final message

the thorkyrie scene (even if i didn’t like what was being said i’m glad they shared some screentime.)

harley coming back!!!

sam becoming captain america (THANK GOD)

the end credits with rdj (the man who singlehandedly made the mcu amazing) being billed last. the theater was cheering and crying at the same time and it was amazing.

the final bit at the end with the noise from tony making his first suit. 😭😭😭

things i didn’t like:

the way they treated thor. taika made thor so amazing in ragnarok and the russos (and the screenwriters) got jealous and shit all over it!!! wtf!!! (and all of the fat jokes and jokes about his ptsd were NOT cool. didn’t like rocket slapping him out of his panic attack either.) can’t believe they made him an alcoholic who sits on his ass and plays fortnite all day. wtf.

for that matter -- i CANNOT believe that he would just up and fuck off with the guardians of the galaxy and abandon his people. is valkyrie a worthy leader??? absolutely. but so is thor!!! that was his entire arc in endgame like WTF!!!! (also the fact that we didn’t get a thorkyrie kiss is fucking CRIMINAL)

also why couldn’t he keep the short hair??? why did he have to get mjolnir back when taika went to all the trouble of showing he didn’t need the hammer to be a hero? did they just want to fuck up EVERYTHING that taika did?

the ending for steve. ‘nuff said.

no you know what? i’m going to go into this further. do i like steve? no. i never have. his actions toward tony in civil war put him on my shitlist forever, and that’s all i am willing to say about that. but you expect me to believe that steve fucking rogers (who KNEW that peggy moved on, lived a good life and had a husband and kids) really went back and fucked up the timeline just to be with her? he barely knew her!! they barely bonded in the first avenger at all!! also there are so many plotholes with how in the world he managed that (what happened when the other cap woke up from the ice???) also does this mean that his ‘romance’ with sharon is technically incest??? and did he just live out the rest of his life with peggy knowing that bucky was being tortured by hydra? insert “it’s bad writing” gif here.

(i am glad that he passed the shield onto sam though. bucky would have been a terrible choice for captain america.)

ALSO. you know who would have been a better choice to go back in time and live the rest of their life with the people that they loved and could not be with due to reasons outside their control? CAROL MOTHERFUCKING DANVERS. let her go back in time and live a happy life with her wife and kid. #carolmaria4evr

the fact that natasha died instead of clint. i literally cannot fucking believe that they fridged the first female avenger just for clint’s (and everyone’s) man pain. it was bad enough when they fridged gamora for thanos’s man pain. clint should have died in nat’s place and the fact that he didn’t is a huge fucking cop out and that’s the that on that.

for that matter -- clint’s entire storyline prior to going back in time was WILD. his only explanation for killing all those people was “thanos snapped half the universe and you didn’t die so imma kill you.” FUCKING WHAT????

the fact that the russos are patting themselves on the back for their “woke lgbt rep” that was actually just a “leave for the bathroom and miss it” extra. you know what would have been better? a stucky ending. a sambucky ending. carol going home to monica and maria. valkyrie kissing a girl. ANYTHING would have been better than that.

speaking of carol -- she was CRIMINALLY underused in this movie. she was barely shown mourning fury (and also!!! why did we get no confirmation about monica and maria????) and barely spoke to the team in general. i thought she was going to have a major role (and would help them go back in time) but she didn’t and that disappointed me.

did i like the fact that she destroyed thanos’s fleet? yes. but i wish she was used more. she’s the most powerful avenger ever!!! and i wish that she got to speak more with tony as they’re friends in the comics.

(BRIE LARSON IS AN ACADEMY AWARD WINNING ACTRESS AND THEY BARELY USED HER!!! LIKE WTF)

i won’t even get into the makeup thing bc that’s already been said and done. actually no i will. there was no reason for her to have perfect hair and lipstick and makeup. that’s not who she is. please let butch ladies continue to be butch please and thank you.

the fact that they didn’t bring gamora and natasha back :(

this might be controversial but i didn’t love the fact that pepper and tony suddenly retired to a lakehouse and became stay at home parents. i was totally expecting pepper and tony to keep running stark industries and make it into a charity organization that helped people in need/those affected by the snap.

the fact that they never fucking explained how time travel worked and WHY they couldn’t just go back and kill thanos as a baby (that was a good suggestion!). and the thing where nebula shot her past self and somehow lived??? it made no sense. i mean. i know it’s bad writing. but i was expecting it to be at least a LITTLE better. where are my explanations.

speaking of bad writing -- did the avengers ever come out and say the reason that everyone got dusted? did everyone know it was bc of thanos? why are some places in such states of disrepair and others are not? who ruled wakanda since shuri and t’challa were dusted? so many unanswered questions. rip.

the directing of the final battle was on par with the throne room battle scene in the last jedi in that both are chaotic and messy and that’s the that on that. as was the scene where hawkeye was beating up the yakuza. messy. lame. yawn.

the scene with all of the female superheroes. was it cool? sure. do i wish natasha could have been there? YES. do i wish that the mcu had more female superheroes? DOUBLE YES. was it a blatant attempt for the russos to pat themselves on the back and be like “sEE!! WE’RE FEMINISTS!!! LOOK AT US!!”?? definitely.

honestly, i was expecting the acting to be way worse than it was based on how all my mutuals were going off about it. overall, though, it was clear in some scenes that the actors had no idea what the context of their lines were and the acting was pretty meh throughout, and for the biggest marvel movie of the year the acting should be a damn sight better than “meh”. but this just reinforces what i know already, which is that the russos are shitty directors. get them as far away from the mcu as possible please and thank you.

things i wish we got:

a carolmaria reunion

a peter&may reunion

a fury&everyone (and esp a fury&carol reunion)

clint sacrificing himself instead of nat sacrificing herself

valkyrie talking to thor about overcoming alcoholism and ptsd

thor staying in new asgard with his people

steve going back and dancing with peggy like he promised and THEN going back to the future (where all of his friends are) and retiring or helping fury bring back shield.

better writers

better directors

an end credits scene that set up phase 4 (tho i assume we will be getting that in spiderman far from home)

tldr - thor got fucked over. tony is a hero and the love of my life. steve shouldn’t have gone back in time to be with peggy. nat shouldn’t have been fridged. the writing was meh and the directing was worse. not the complete and utter shitshow i was expecting, but not the so-called greatest movie in the mcu. give rdj an honorary oscar. 6/10.

#personal #my stuff #avengers endgame #endgame spoilers #endgame review #endgame salt #kind of??#marvel spoilers #mcu spoilers #well this got a lot longer than i expected #this is very rambly please enjoy

So I wrote a thing. Its horrible. I have it on my wattpad but decided to post it here too.

Characters: Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Aaron Taylor Johnson(barely) and y/n

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING attempted rape mention!! Just an overall warning so if you’re sensitive I suggest one of my other fics ❤️ ⚠️

Please don’t leave me

As I’m laying in bed my hands start to shake and my body starts to tremble. My mind going into overdrive.

“Oh no not again” y/n thought

Why does this happen to me

My anxiety gets the better of me

My mind going into overdrive

I cant comprehend anything

My boyfriend is the only thing that can calm me down most times

My best friend is back for a week to attend her cousins wedding. My boyfriend Chris insisted on her staying with me to make sure I’m okay.

Sobs start to wrack my body and i cant control it. I start breathing heavy. There’s too much air but yet not enough making it hard to breathe. It feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest

Scar comes running down the hallway after hearing my screams.

“Y/n?! Are you okay?”

“No!” I sob out

“H-he’s going to f-find someone else and l-leave me” i start sobbing harder my body shaking

“Y/n Chris fucking loves you honey, he’s never going to leave you. You’re all he brags about. At one point Anthony told him and i quote ‘to shut his pie face because its annoying’”

“Ask any of the cast y/n, Chris fucking loves you.”

“I want to believe you but i cant” i sob out “Why the f-fuck would he love someone as fucked up as me?” I sobbed harder — Its been over an hour and i still cant calm down. I should’ve went to the hospital by now. Panic attacks shouldn’t last this long. She called my brother Aaron. He’s trying to help but nothing is helping me at this point. My mind is telling me lies i can’t help but believe

My sobs were so Loud i didn’t hear scar call someone until shes rubbing my back and puts the phone to my ear.

“Y/n baby?” “Can you hear me?”

Its Chris. My heart starts to beat harder and my stomach is turning in on itself in guilt

“Im sorry!” I sobbed out

“Hey, hey, baby girl calm down, its okay. I promise. I don’t hate you baby. I promise I’m going to come home to you as soon as were done and i promise i wont leave your side for as long as possible.”

“Can you try to calm down for me baby doll?” He says, still hearing my sobs in the phone

“I c-can’t Chris!”

“Shh baby okay. Breath with me, In 5, 1 2 3 4 5 . Breathe out 1 2 3 4. Okay?”

“In 1 2 3 4 5. You ready? Out 1 2 3 4”

“I can’t Chris I’m trying i cant calm down! Im so scared y-you’re going to l-leave me!”

I lost it. I just started screaming. crying. Curling up into a ball.

Aaron comes over and climbs in the bed with me.

“Shh y/n/n. It’s okay.” He says while rubbing you back.

Meanwhile on the phone

S: “Chris i don’t know what to do”

C: “I’m trying to think of something .”

C: “Did you put her in one of my shirts?”

S: “She already had one on when i got here. ”

S: “I even turned on one of your movies so she could hear your voice and she cried harder.

S: "I even brought her the blanket you take on planes, because you left it in the closet and it smells like you.”

S:“It didn’t help.”

They both hear the scream.

“NO! I want Chris!”

C: “My poor baby, God I’m so sorry”

C: “i should be there”

S"Chris it isn’t your fau-“

C: "i can’t take this. give me a minute.”

C: “don’t hang up”

A few seconds goes by

C: “Hey Rob, I need a favor ”

Scarlett can hear their conversation through the phone

R:“ Chris it’s fucking 3am”

C: “its y/n, i need to borrow your private jet. I need to get home. ”

C:“ I don’t have time to wait for the airport and shit ” C:“I’ll pay you, I’ll do whatever i have to do. I need to get home”

Y/n’s scream comes bellowing through the phone so loud that Rdj can even hear it. Chris lets out an extremely unmanly sob.

R: “okay let me put on some clothes and well go. I’m not waiting for the pilot, i know how to fly it.”

C: “dude i can’t thank you enough”

R: “it really sounds like she needs you. If that was my wife, not even God himself could stand in my way from getting to her”

C:“thank you”

Chris starts walking back to his hotel room to pack his essentials.

C: “Scar take y/n the phone.” C: “I’m coming home”

S: “ are you sure thats a good idea?”

S: “you could loose your job”

C:“ you think i give a shit? Its my girlfriend were talking about here. My entire world. I would go to hell and back and bring heaven and earth with me if i had to”

Scar walks back into the bedroom and gives y/n the phone, who is still sobbing and shaking in Aaron’s arms

C:“ hey baby, I’m comin’ home okay?”

Y/n: “okay” she hiccups.

Y/n: “i love you” and she starts sobbing again.

C:“ i love you too, doll”

Scar takes the phone back

C: “i have a few questions while i wait for Rob, is that okay?”

S: “of course it is”

C:“this is the worst I’ve ever heard her let alone seen her. We’ve been together since the first captain america came out.” C:“what happened tonight?”

S:“ all i know its its y/f/n’s birthday. They went out to the bar, she didn’t even wanna go, but they guilt tripped her. Then all i know is shes She ran into the apartment. She ran upstairs and took a really fucking long shower. Like un-normally long for y/n and then i heard her screams and sobs.”

C: “i wanna know what the hell happened at that bar”

S:“you and me both.”

C: “Robs here, gotta go, i should be home in about an hour”

C:“thank you scar”

–

About 45-50 minutes later the front door burst ope, and they hear Chris running up the stairs. He burst through the bedroom and takes one look at your shaking frame underneath the blankets.

“Oh my God, my poor baby. He whimpers. Actually fucking whimpers

"Im gonna go, call me if you need me” scar whispers and pats Chris’ back and walks out the door closing it behind her

“Y/n babe? Im here”

Chris says crouching down be side the bed, Aaron being already gone.

“Chris?” Y/n whimpers

She rolls over and actually sees him not realizing he isn’t on the phone anymore but in front of her. She throws the blankets off of her shivering body and throws herself into his arms. Knocking him and her both back onto the floor.

“Chris!” Y/n sobs gripping his shirt so tight in her small fragile hands. Not that he minds

“Im here baby.” He says wrapping his arms around her.

He stands up still holding her and manages to get his shoes, socks, and pants off without putting her down. Now leaving him in just his boxers and t-shirt.

He climbs into the bed. Her small frame still clinging to his body, like her life depends on it. Because in her eyes. It actually does. Her breathing starts to slow just from being in his arms.

“Y/n baby?” “Can you tell me what happened?”

“I-i went to the b-bar for y/f/n’s birthday, i didn’t wanna go. I w-wanted to stay here and FaceTime you like every night.”

She takes a deep breath. “But they guilt tripped me into g-going so i did. They were all dancing with guys and i had no interest in doing so. Boyfriend or not. So i sat at the booth in the back by the h-hallway that leads to the bathrooms.”

“Well this g-guy.” She lets out a shaky sob.

“This guy h-he decided he wanted me to dance with him. I politely declined. He wanted to buy me a drink. I politely declined again. I didn’t w-want to tell him i have a boyfriend because i shouldn’t have to have a boyfriend for someone to leave me alone. I was trying to m-maintain my morals and values.”

"W-well he wasn’t having it. I eventually told him i have a boyfriend and to leave me the fuck alone. He didn’t. He instead said 'i don’t see him anywhere, so what'dya say about goin’ to have some fun darlin’ ” he then proceeded to k-kiss me. And to which I pushed him off and he wouldn’t stop he just pinned my a-r-rms above my head against the wall"

She lets out an extremely loud sob

“Its okay baby girl I’m right here,he cant hurt you anymore”

“He then k-kept groping and touching me and i tried to make him stop. He spun us around to the side of the wall in the hallway where no one would see.”

“A-and he.”

She sobs again. Loosing it. Chris just rubs her back soothingly, listening to her tell him what happened.

“He t-tried to rape me!” “But i head butted him in the n-nose and ran”

She sniffles and sobs a little bit more

“Please don’t leave me Chris please?!?”

“I d-didn’t mean to cheat on you” She sobs harder now her entire body shaking in his arms.

“Look at me baby. ” “No don’t look away.” “Look me in the eyes”

“You” “y/f/n ” “Y/m/n” “Y/l/n” “Did not” “Cheat” “On me” “Okay?”

She just nods and curls into his chest more “I love you y/f/n - y/m/n”

“Y/n its okay.” “It wasn’t your fault baby” Chris says.

She just leans up and kisses him. “Im sorry.” She whispers

“I love you” she says.

“I love you more, baby girl.”

Daddy Recognition Post

Part 1/3

⚠️Mildly Explicit Content/ Spoilers (probably)⚠️

After rewatching GOT for the 50-11th time, I have come to some startling realizations... Well after I spent 60 something hours going "Wooooooooow why didn't I notice he was such a daddy the first time around???" ⤵️

Daddies are in order of how much I called them D A D D Y and how much I thought they would enjoy being called daddy.

1) Sandor Clegane | The Hound

In reference to this gif (even though I know he was talking to Tormund) YES, I WOULD LOVE TO.

I spent the whole of season 4 (a.k.a The Adventures of Arya and the Hound) going, "I'm going to have this man's pups."

He'd be rearranging my guts on a daily.

He'd most definitely rip my small 5'4, 120 ass in half. Oh JOY!

His dedication

*is just a big soft ass teddy bear on the inside with brother issues*

Him wanting Arya to just end his misery by saying a bunch of mean shit but in the end low-key crying. Ma heart bitch!

*cheats death*

Sandor was such a soft bean when he was just kickin it with the Faith of the Seven after almost dying and having an epiphany to do better in life. Then bromancing with the Brotherhood Without Banners

And I could just hear Sandor growling at me and I would just die all over again.

@ Sandor everytime he curses "Yes, daddy, talk dirty to me!"

Haven't you ever wanted an abused puppy just to fix it and show it love???

Sandor is just an abused pupper

6'6

Also Rory himself -- no further explanation needed.

2) Jorah Mormont

Damn near need to make an appreciation post just for his cheekbones and jawline alone

He deserved so much more than what Daenerys was giving him.

Just because he's older don't mean shit. That just means he's a seasoned daddy and he knows what he's doing. Even though I'm certain he'd just be a gentleman throughout the entire process EVEN THOUGH I'm trying to get my back blown out. I guess I can go back to Sandor for that then.

*glowers*™

His loyalty

Jorah's just so courteous. Chivalry is not dead.

Jorah didn't get the name "Jorah the Andal" for nothing. Better recognize!

He's tall (not as tall as the Hound but over 6' which is all good for me)

6'1

His hair just looks so silky smooth

That smooth baritone voice has me dripping ever so often.

He doesn't curse a lot (I actually can't go back to a scene where I've heard him cuss tbh. HELP)

And Iain plays him so well.

3) Tywin Lannister | The Great Lion

THIS is what you call a power!daddy

Just the amount of power Tywin exudes with just one look and/or word.... #DeleteMyOvaries

6'3

An actual Daddy, mind you

Tywin is (was *sadness*) an unapologetic tyrant and that was okay! Own up to your shit bro. Dont down play it. He had the mindset of "I had to do what I had to do for family and no one can fault me."

Yes, RDJ is Iron Man but not to the extent that Charles Dance IS Tywin Lannister.

His deep commanding baritone voice causes my ovaries into shutdown

I am 312% certain this Great Lion would absolutely preen at being called "Daddy"...or maybe "My Lord" is more fitting.

Me and Charles are both libras too mf

4) Jon Snow

*Unapologetic use of that gif bc fuck me*

Lord Commander of the Nights Watch

He yeeted the fuck out of death #TheLazarusEffect

Y'all know that black curly hair makes him a whole nut and a half

I don't give a fuck what Tormund says — his pecker can peck a n y t i m e

Jon is high-key that angsty teenager that's in all of us

Incest aside, his butt is really tight

Those nice back muscles...Lawd

Kit may be 5'8....which is Q U I T E below my usual standards but I'll give him a pass because he's Kit.

I feel like Jon would blush so heavily at being called daddy. (He's only high-key up so far on the list because he deserves so much credit. He's such a good character.)

Aegon is still a fuckin appetizer though.

5) Bronn of the (fuckin') Blackwater

Let me not find out y'all sleeping on this whole and CLEAR Daddy.

The first time I watched GOT I thought we first saw him when Catelyn brought Tyrion to the Vale and Bronn was gonna fight for Tyrion in place of Jaime. Though watching it the second time I was like "Oh shit no, he was in that pub when Tyrion walked in (BRONN WAS EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY TYRION) and Catelyn took him prisoner."

This man's eyes send me into overdrive. They are so pretty against the contrast of his skin and hair.

We love a dark haired, light eyed schnackkkkkkk

He just says whatever he wants. He's so blunt he could give Gordon Ramsey a run for his money or hell, the old Simon Cowell even.

When he just kills someone without a second thought is so attractive because you know he's just doing this for the money he's getting. Even a cutthroat has to have morals.

6'0

Jerome Flynn is legit the same age as my mother but yanno....so is Baby Daddy Johnny Depp and Baby Daddy Brad Pitt.

His friendship with Tyrion. That bromance is so cute.

I just wanna touch his hair all the time.

A mixture of Jerome and Kit remind me of Sirius Black (one of my favorite daddies in the HP series)

Come to think of it Bronn could probably blow my back out too. Or at least have me limping the next day

Bronn could just say anything as long as it had at least 5-10 cuss words and I would probably nut a good 19 times before that 8th cuss word came....#Lmfao #YallImSerious.

More to come...

*gifs aren't mine*

sorry if there are any mistakes

NEXT TIME ON TOTAL .... DRAMA .... ISLAND: Tyrion Lannister, Robb Stark, Khal Drogo, Tormund Giantsbane and Daario Naharis

AND YOU'RE WATCHING DISNEY CHANNEL!

Ready Player Two: The Sequel’s Best Easter Eggs & References

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This piece contains spoilers for Ready Player Two.

When Ernest Cline published Ready Player One in 2011, its exhaustive array of Easter eggs were literally built into the worldbuilding—seemingly one pop culture name-drop per pixel that made up the digital OASIS, per the fierce 1980s nostalgia that creator James Donovan Halliday possessed for the most formative decade of his adolescence. And once the billionaire inventor revealed the Easter egg hunt for his fortune, it made perfect sense that the 2040s generation of gunters would immerse themselves in the same references, placing themselves into Halliday’s mindset to inherit his treasure.

Almost a decade later, those ’80s references are more exhausting in Ready Player Two—like when Wade rattles off his vintage morning routine basically cosplaying as Marty McFly, down to getting woken up by Huey Lewis and the News’ “Back in Time” via a Panasonic RC-6015 flip-clock radio. Whereas the Wade of Ready Player One enthusiastically logged onto the OASIS by quoting The Last Starfighter, the sequel’s gunter-turned-billionaire seems burnt out. He takes no joy in playing at a fictional character’s life instead of trying to improve his own.

Similarly, if Twitter reactions are any indication, readers of Ready Player Two are already finding the dense ’80s shout-outs to be more white noise than fun tidbits to be caught and noticed. It’s the same trick, but it loses its efficacy once you’ve seen behind the curtain.

That said, there are a handful of Easter eggs that break through the static. Because what’s the best way to make two familiar things new again? You mash them up.

Seven Shards for the Siren’s Soul

In some ways, it feels as if the sequel is retreading familiar ground, not quite copying Ready Player One’s Easter egg hunt but certainly building a seven-part quest around solving pop culture riddles. What somewhat redeems the narrative choice is a slightly different take on Easter eggs: not an exhaustive ’80s Wikipedia entry, but the personal Easter eggs of one woman’s life.

That woman is Kira Underwood, wife of OASIS co-founder Ogden Morrow, but also the unrequited love of James Donovan Halliday. As young adults, their Dungeons & Dragons campaigns eventually transformed into the creation of Gregarious Games and, ultimately, Gregarious Simulation Systems and the OASIS. But when Kira died young, both men mourned her… but only one tried to bring her back.

This time around, the prize is not Halliday’s fortune, but Kira’s “soul”—or, at least, a digital copy of her consciousness that Halliday copied without her knowledge or permission. Each Shard references a key point in Kira’s life, plenty of which overlap with Halliday’s ’80s obsession, as Kira met the two boys in 1988—in the middle of playing Sega Ninja, in fact. That’s the trial for the Second Shard, but later Shards relate to properties dear to Kira, which makes gunters like Parzival initially disregard treasured texts like J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion or the rich discography of a certain iconic purple-themed musician.

And as the Shard search goes on, the clues become more and more specific to Kira’s life, including the learning-is-fun planet that she and Og created together (Halcydonia) to bring free educational games to underserved children when they were unable to have biological children of their own; and Leucosia, her D&D character-turned-AI-persona. Each Shard also includes a “toll,” or a memory that Z must experience as Kira, to better understand how she was a vital person on her own, beyond these two men’s love for her.

While the Seven Shards won’t be immortalized in the best-of lists of fantasy quests, it’s a clear effort to reinterpret the notion of Easter eggs to be more than just however many pop culture references one person can hold over another. They can also be the personal artifacts that others are encouraged to excavate, and experience the world through another set of eyes.

Planet Shermer

Recast the foul, restore his ending. Andie’s first fate still needs mending.

The Third Shard’s riddle sends Z and Art3mis to Shermer, a planet named after the fictional Illinois town in which John Hughes set the majority of his movies. Inspired by his hometown of Northbrook (which was previously called Shermerville), Shermer was a composite of different aspects of suburbia from both sides of the tracks and everything in-between. A 2010 Vanity Fair article related how in Hughes’ mind, Sixteen Candles’ Samantha (Molly Ringwald) was a “passing acquaintance” of Ferris Bueller’s eponymous hero (Matthew Broderick), and The Breakfast Club’s Bender (Judd Nelson) grew up near Planes, Trains, & Automobiles’ Del Griffith (John Candy).

The OASIS’ Shermer follows Hughes’ thinking, by throwing his iconic teenage characters into a planet-sized Breakfast Club of sorts, with them all attending the same Shermer High School; Z notes that depending on which direction you approach the school, its facade resembles all three aforementioned teen films. That’s amusing enough, but then you remember that actors like Ringwald and Michael Anthony Hall collaborated with Hughes in a number of films—which means all of their alter egos are going to homeroom or the cafeteria together.

This portion of the book is rather delightful in how nonchalantly it plays out every fan’s crossover dreams and how it engages with parallel-universe casting decisions. For instance, Parzival notices Keith Nelson and Amanda Jones (Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson) from Some Kind of Wonderful, only to realize that that couple is technically the original Marty McFly and his mother. And when it comes to deducing the Shard’s clue, superfan Samantha deduces that they must recast Duckie (the “fowl”) from Pretty in Pink, replacing Jon Cryer with a Weird Science-era Robert Downey, Jr., who had originally been up for the part. (You can already imagine the digital de-aging fun in the inevitable Ready Player Two movie.)

But while their goal is to get RDJ-Duckie and Andie dancing at prom, what’s most important is visiting Hughes himself in his home office to obtain his original Pretty in Pink ending. Perhaps the best Easter egg embedded in this mashup world is that when Art3mis and Z go to the Hughes’ home, they encounter his wife, Nancy Hughes. “I’ve never seen her here before!” Art3mis, who has played through this world’s rhythms countless times before, excitedly tells Parzival. “I didn’t know you even could!” It’s a nice parallel to Wade’s realization that Kira is more than just the wife or love interest, that she and Nancy Hughes are worth squeeing over all on their own.

L0hengrin’s Genderbending Avatar

As Wade relates, Parzival looks almost like him, just a bit thinner, taller, more muscular, and less afflicted by acne. His avatar is an idealized version of himself, as is the case for Samantha with Art3mis—though in Ready Player Two, she has incorporated her IRL facial birthmark into her digital persona, while Wade still sticks with his dream-self. They might also dress as pop culture characters, like Art3mis in her Molly Millions (from William Gibson’s Johnny Mnemonic) phase, yet it only goes so far as typical cosplay.

But in the sequel, Parzival meets YouTuber and gunter L0hengrin, who he identifies as a fan by name alone; in Arthurian legend, Lohengrin was Parzival’s son. When they meet in the OASIS, however, Parzival is struck by Lo’s avatar: She primarily takes the form of pixie-haired teen Helen Slater in The Legend of Billie Jean, but she’s also known for shifting into floppy-haired James Spader in Tuff Turf. While Lo, a trans woman, is not the first OASIS user to find herself in a nostalgic movie avatar, the fluidity of her gender presentation speaks to a deeper identification with various iconic figures depending on her gender in that moment. It also opens up the possibility of other genderqueer or nonbinary users finding their own unique representation via ’80s figures—after all, there are infinite personas to choose from.

The Afterworld

Another mashup world that Parzival, Aech, and Shoto visit on their quest for the Shards is a planet-sized shrine to Prince. And while its name is technically the unpronounceable Love Symbol, those in the know call it the Afterworld. Under ominous skies of “Purple Rain” they drive a “Little Red Corvette” to raid Paisley Park not for weapons, but for musical artifacts with which to challenge the Purple One(s).

Basically, the three gunters have to reenact Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, doing musical battle with seven iterations of Prince as the Evil Exes: Purple Rain Prince, Cloud Suit Prince, Gett Off Prince, Batdance Prince, Microphone Prince, Third Eye Prince, and Mesh-Mask Prince. Not to mention their henchmen, in the form of several past bands and collaborators.

All things considered, the battle goes pretty quickly, especially since Aech is a super-fan coaching Parzival through how to wield the Cloud Guitar, and they have their own backup in the form of Prince’s old band Morris Day and the Time (a.k.a. The Original 7ven). There is a reason that Scott fights seven separate battles, each with its own arc and stakes. It ratchets up the tension in each fight and hints at Scott possibly failing, instead of seeming more like a means to an end, as is the case with Ready Player Two’s big jam session.

This one might be a tad more controversial for readers, depending on how sacred one holds Prince, but I would argue that inspiring a reaction—positive or negative—still counts as an Easter egg that works.

Needle Drops

Both Shermer and the Afterworld include dozens of music cues that can be triggered by passing over a certain spot or into a key moment out of pop culture history, though the needle drops are a consistent Easter egg throughout Ready Player Two. These “soundtrack landmines,” as Z calls them, set the scene, striding into Shermer High School to Killing Joke’s “Eighties”; or add gravitas to a moment, like when Parzival stares at Art3mis, realizing he’s still in love with her, and Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” begins playing.

For the most part, these cues belong to everyone: They’re planted in the same spaces for any user to trigger, regardless of whether or not they’ve ever actually sung or danced to these moments in John Hughes movies. Yet little Easter eggs like the Boston needle drop—which can only be triggered by one avatar staring at another for five seconds, while the ONI records an increase in heart rate—feel like personalized love letters to two lovebirds, caught in a special moment unique to just them. That’s exactly what you want an Easter egg to do.

Ready Player Two is available now from Ballantine Books. Let us know the Easter eggs that worked for you in the comments below…

Some Spider-Man:Homecoming Awesome Moments/thoughts, behind a cut bc spoilers, and also long:

I basically squee’d through the entire beginning, after the like Damage Control/Toomes part. From the whole orchestrated version of the Spider-Man cartoon theme during the Marvel sequence (which honestly was way too frickin long, but the music was a good touch), to the vlogging part, like it was just. So Good. (my Spider-Man friend liked the vlogging, too, said it was a very Peter Parker thing)

Adrian Toomes literally has the stupidest reason for hating Tony Stark, and also tbh, supes awk I’ve been salty/on guard so long from the anti’s, it wasn’t obvious to me at all that Toomes was Evil All Along, I lowkey read it as “and this is when I decided to become Evil” moment with him staring with hate at Tony. Apparently, according to my friend I went with, who is more of a Spider-’verse guy, it was p obvious to him *like a cross between shrug emoji and :’)* (I think it was the fact that, like, Tony’s face took up half that screen that had me on guard? It says *US* Department etc, joint venture, etc, but like isn’t Pepper still CEO of Stark Industries? I mean idk I guess I’m kind of annoyed the anti’s have me so on guard that I looked at that and was like “great it’s set up to blame Tony personally for stuff that is again NOT his personal sole total fault”)

Re: the vlogging. oH MAN, THE TIMES NEW ROMAN 12 PT FONT DOUBLE SPACED CARD!!!! I’D ACTUALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS, HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT FROM?? Was that CW? It seems like it’s been ages

comment Tony made re: May wearing whatever. Oh no, bad, not good, whose idea was this, pls can we Stop that (other than that tho the rest of it was good, so even though we started rough at least we moved on)

oh no sad child sending a million texts with no response :( (okay it kind of is hilarious to me that Happy is so incredibly out of his depth with Peter tho, like he has no idea what to do with being responsible for a teenager)

THE CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY CHILDREN, THEY LOOK LIKE...middle school/high school, I’ve realized I am REALLY bad at telling, I’m back home and see these kids in the mall or Starbucks and I’m like “I am going to call them high schoolers but they look So Small somehow, a part of me yells “MIDDLE SCHOOLERS”???

tiny soft spider son who is awkward but not cringey? The whole movie was wholesome and good, and him and Liz were cute and there was no Hetero Farce, like Liz actually liked him, too, even though Peter’s an underdog it didn’t condescend on him? (like, didn’t play up that whole No Girl Will Like You Cuz You’re A Nerd thing that’s like douchebro mentality)

BODEGA CAT

omg tiny child going into alleyway and changing into his suit, kind of a weirdly endearing scene but so ???? like I don’t even know how to describe this feeling but He Is My Tiny Spider Son

the little notes are super cute. "why did I tell him about the churro” super cute. Him accidentally messing up and webbing a guy who was breaking into his own car: also super cute actually, and good flavor, too. All of it set the stage really well for him as an actually “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” like he’s basically running errands, but also he’s not omniscient so sometimes things are not what they seem

Happy is SUPER out of his depth lmao oh man

Ned Leeds and his fanboying highkey relatable (guy in the chaiiiir)

I can’t believe Zero Moustafa was in this movie, I didn’t even recognize him also I highkey was not expecting him

honestly all of the whole “changes in your body” stuff to Peter were also funny and added great flavor to the movie. It’s a bit out there and ridiculous but it’s from Peter’s PoV and was very appropriate for that :D

DUM-E!!!!!

“how far can you shoot?” “if I were you I’d stand on the edge of a building and shoot as far as you can” *girl turns around and gives them a weird look*

I highkey appreciate that Peter is the “I can just be myself” kind of person, this lets Ned be the “nobody wants that” ironic humor but also highkey relatable guy/line person. This was a good way of setting up those dyad of lines bc it centers self-confidence FIRST, and then the self-deprecating humor

running across the golf course was Excellent, him flailing so badly in suburbia was also good flavor and also hashtag same

“if you’re going to shoot someone shoot me” TINY HEROIC SPIDER SON OH MY GOD OH MAN HOLY HECK

“So. You got detention”

something something “those turkeys convinced you” something something

“So your body’s changed. Believe me, I know how that feels”

“You can’t just stroll back in and expect to be welcomed with open arms” *teacher walks out of bus with open arms* “hey, welcome back, Peter.”

“Listen, can we go, already? cuz I was hoping to get in some light protesting before dinner” “protesting is patriotic, let’s get on the bus”

Training Wheels Protocol. Baby Monitor Protocol. Karen. DRONEY. ADVANCED INTERROGATION MODE LMAO. “Instant Kill.”

seriously tho I appreciate how much of a genuinely down-to-earth guy Peter is. It’s not forced and it’s consistent, he’s such a good child

the TI-84 tho

RDJ!!! ARM-CLUTCHING!!! “gosh I sound like my father” *quiet gross sobbing on the inside*

school admin: there’s a dance. what are you doing? Ned: I’m....looking...at....porn?

that whole sequence of Toomes in the car on their way to homecoming was cinematically brilliant?? The way the light of the traffic lights shone and the symbolism with it, I like had a moment of like, “Oh my god, this is actually a really well-crafted movie??” (like tbh my salty ass lowkey can’t believe *Marvel* churned it out)

(this whole middle section I stopped taking notes and was just watching bc the next notes I have are on Tony losing control of the screwing the pooch metaphor lmao. but a couple points:)

“COME ON, SPIDER-MAN” D: D:

the invisible jet. them playing up the danger of the turbines was really suspenseful, but also very nice because it demonstrates genre-savvy. also, that part where you see Spidey on the top of the jet camo panels bc he’s on the bottom :D :D

seeing Peter save Toomes made me a bit sad bc I was remembering the post Nat wrote about the parallels we COULD have had, i.e. from IM1, IM3, that were ultimately cut :(

Tony’s whole extending the metaphor on screwing the pooch and absolutely losing control of it with the whole free clinic and hybrid puppies line lmao.

“he made a really mature decision. surprised the heck out of us” :D :D these two are so frickin out of their depth with any kid, let alone Peter. Thank heck Peter’s the voice of reason here. (again, good flavor, cute characterization points, gr8 all around)

the whole post credit scene and the metatexual poking fun at the audience for waiting for something for forever that doesn’t seem like it’s worth it lmaooo. (actually when I’d first glanced at a gifset on Tumblr, I’d thought he was referring to waiting for Peggy since TFA ended on that note, so I thought it was referring back to that)

re: like the treatment of the high school setting, it seemed a biiiit...stereotypical to me, but I think ultimately it was a good mix of current with nostalgic for the maybe older crowd who’d watched three iterations of Spider-Man in so many years, I think. Like, the whole “You’re bullied because you’re a nerd” and the whole “very clear defined cliques” thing is so....Mean Girls era, and that kind of was the touch of nostalgia. But also they did kind of set it up where Peter and Ned weren’t necessarily bullied by EVERYONE *for* being nerds, because Flash was also in Decathalon, and more because Flash was a jerk, which I think was a good updated social mores touch. Also, I liked that the “comeuppance” scene with Peter commandeering Flash’s (dad’s) car wasn’t all vindictive, it was fueled by genuine need, and he didn’t go out of his way to destroy the car, he just literally had never actually driven on roads before :DD

so kind of in conclusion: SM:H really is All That and More, it was so good and I want to watch it again a million times

#spider man spoilers #I'm sorry my tag is so awful #I hope mobile doesn't mess this up weirdly for ppl #roz speaks #spider man homecoming #I literally took notes in a notebook as I watched lol #the post is very long #smhc talk
